The state Department of Education released its controversial A through F letter grades Wednesday for more than 2,000 Indiana schools.
More than 60 percent of the elementary, middle and high schools in Indiana schools received an A or B grade, while nearly 19 percent earned D or F grades. Just more than 20 percent of schools earned the C grade.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett, who is up for re-election next Tuesday, hailed the new grading system as a more accurate measure of how schools are performing than the measurements of the past. But he also conceded that the new system has "some complexity" that will make it difficult for parents, students, teachers and others to understand how the grades were reached.
At a meeting of the State Board of Education on Wednesday, Bennett likened the grades to the safety rating system given to cars. "You understand the rating but not everything that goes into it," Bennett said.
Release of the grades, which are posted on the DOE's website (doe.in.gov) was approved by the board at its meeting Wednesday. The state board had approved the new grading system earlier this year, over widespread opposition that included schools, community groups and the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.
Bennett's opponent in the race for state superintendent, Indianapolis teacher Glenda Ritz, has been sharply critical of the new school grading system that has been pushed by Bennett, saying it's based on a complicated formula that uses flawed data to assess student success. Ritz, a Democrat, said schools with poor grades will be unfairly labeled and communities will be harmed.
"My vision does not paint communities as failures when students attending their schools are struggling," Ritz said in a press release Wednesday, outlining her differences with the Republican Bennett. "Under A-F, Tony Bennett is saying to new businesses and homebuyers, 'Stay away from this community — it is failing.'"
Indiana's K-12 schools have been measured and graded in the past, using a system based in part on how many students passed standardized tests. The new system uses a more complex formula of metrics, rewarding schools with bonus points for getting students to make big gains on test scores from year to year.
At the elementary and middle school level, progress made by students from year to year on their standardized test scores play a significant role in the new grading system. At the high school level, college and career readiness indicators, such as Advanced Placement scores, industry certifications, and standardized test scores factor into how the new grades are calculated.
Before the State Board of Education approved release of the grades, Bennett defended the new grading rules. He pointed out that under the new system, 207 schools received A's for the first time, and that another 28 schools that had received F's in the past earned grades of C or higher this time.
"These fair and comprehensive measures of school performance demonstrate that school leaders and teachers are focusing on the skills our students need to succeed in their academic and professional careers," Bennett said. "The results of our new approach to grading schools are already making a measurable difference in student performance, and Indiana's educators should be celebrated for their hard work and success."
But some schools also saw their grades drop. Five Indiana schools went from A to F. About 29 percent of schools saw their grades fall at least one grade. The rest either moved up or stayed the same.
Some of the lowest grades went to schools in the state's largest urban school districts, including the Indianapolis Public Schools. Some of the highest grades went to schools in suburban school districts, such as Zionsville Community Schools, which is located in one of the most affluent counties in the state. Bennett rejected the notion that the grades reflect the amount of wealth or poverty in a school district. He noted, for example, that nearly 85 percent of schools that had raised their past grades by three or four letter marks were in "high-poverty" school districts.
The new grading system has met with opposition from organizations that lobby legislators on behalf of the traditional public schools.
Chuck Little, executive director of the Indiana Urban Schools Association, told The Tribune-Star in Terre Haute that he believes the underlying intent of the new system is to make public schools look bad and drive more state education dollars into charter schools run by private organizations and shore up support for putting more public dollars into the state's voucher system for private schools.
He was also critical of the new metrics used to calculate the grades, calling a "complex system with errors built into it."
The school letter grades were scheduled to be publicly released earlier this month, but were delayed to give schools more time to look at the data that was used to calculate the grades. Bennett said more than 140 schools appealed their grades, and 42 percent of those schools had some aspect of their data revised. He said 11 percent of the schools that appealed their initial grade received a grade change based on their appeal.

Junaluska deals with same dog issueWritten by Becky Johnson
Sylva isn't the first place to wrestle with the not-so-pleasant by-product of dogs in public areas.
The wildly popular two-mile walking trail around Lake Junaluska in Haywood County confronted the same issue several years ago.
When word got out that the lake was contemplating a ban on dogs, the requisite public outcry ensued. While Lake Junaluska's grounds are contained within a private conference center and residential community, the larger public had grown so accustomed to the recreational amenities at the lake it bordered on a sense of entitlement.
Volunteers responded by installing six pooper-scooper stations around the walking path.
"The problem is not as bad now as it was before, I think by and large because the boxes are out there," said Gene McAbee, the security officer at Lake Junaluska.
The lake orders the baggies by the case — 4,800 baggies for about $200. Each dispenser holds 400 bags. Some have to be restocked every month, especially in the summer.
McAbee said there likely isn't a cure-all, however.
"Just like people who throw litter out of the window of their cars, they just aren't going to clean up after themselves," McAbee said. "Thankfully, the majority who walk their dogs at Lake Junaluska have some sense of responsibility to keep it clean."

The stats on women in entreprenruship can be depressing. The Kauffman Foundation has done a lot of research on this topic. But simply put, women aren't starting many high tech companies and they aren't raising much venture capital. A recent Chicago Tribune article reiterated all this, despite any "lip service" to the contrary.
It looks like Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies is out to buy the next big thing in consumer health and wellness. Late last month, the $300 billion company announced its plans to partner with CircleUp, an equity-based crowdfunding platform. The news was all over the national entrepreneurship-focused media outlets. An article on Entrepreneur.com explained that the behemoth business made this move to get early access to the pipeline of emerging innovations in its market. Then it can acquire and add these products to its own product line.
The media seems to be a buzz with the nation's small business decline. From the increase in the number of startups failing, to the decrease in the number being started, this trend--not the reason for it, much to my disappointment--is being spun across the nation's news outlets. Entrepreneurship certainly ebbs and flows and while policymakers and entrepreneurial ecosystem members (hopefully) figure out what's causing the current ebb, I am encouraged to see another source stepping up to increase a form of entreprenruship: intrapreneurship.
Angel funding hit the news last week in a big way with the Angel Capital Association launching its "Protect Angel Funding" campaign. This professional and trade association supports the success of angel investors in high-growth, early-stage companies. It launched the campaign in an effort to keep startups from losing this source of funding if the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) increases the financial qualifications for accredited investors.
Venture capital certainly has its place within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Some of our nation's largest companies (and employers), like Apple, Google and FedEx, have secured this form of funding. But plenty of Kauffman Foundation research tells us that VC funding isn't as mainstream in startups as one would gather based on its common place in startup news. In fact, less than 20 percent of the fastest growing young companies ever take venture capital money.
Innovation Fund America (IFA), our program delivering high-impact education, coaching and pre-seed funding to scalable, technology-based startups via community colleges around the country, has quietly been having a big couple of months. It's a complicated and demanding program to launch and it's taken nearly a year and a half to get to this point, but we're excited that IFA is now open for business in two communities--and we're really just getting started.
Last Thursday, I joined 400 problem-solvers from around the Midwest at the iKC event at the H&R Block Headquarters. The event was an un-conference, meaning there were no pre-set rules or even an agenda. We came together to choose and vote on several topics of discussion we found interesting, and we then had four breakout sessions throughout the day to meet and discuss the 28 selected topics.
Crowdfunding is a hot topic in the entrepreneurship space these days. Many startups are asking about it, and are trying to decide if seeking funding from the crowd is the right for their company. Sensing this demand, we hosted a three hour event on the subject a few days ago which you can view here and here.
On Aug. 27, we are welcoming Slava Rubin, the CEO of Indiegogo, one of the most-successful and most-recognized crowdfunding platforms, to the Kauffman Foundation. We expect a full crowd for this event, but we also will be showing his presentation entitled "How to Raise $1Million in 30 Days or Less" on a live stream that can be found here.
One of the questions I get asked the most is some version of "what do you think of crowdfunding?" I usually answer with some noncommittal answer about how it is going to be important, but no really knows how it will impact the trajectory and success of startup companies. After all, the notion of banding together through social media to fund the development of a prototype, documentary film or art project has been going on for many years now.

The Government Shutdown is a crunch felt nationwide, and one that can hit close to home for those who are employed through the government.
In fact, so close to home that the Minot Air Force Base has had to make changes to maintain operations on base.
Over 70% of military civilians at the Minot Air Force Base have undergone a furlough--that's about 350 employees.
Some areas affected include logistics, civil engineering and transportation services.
Civilian personnel still employed are those who work in essential areas such as security and readiness.
Airmen are working extended hours to fulfill the vacancies.
Still, some services have been delayed or suspended.
Despite the shutdown, one Minot Air Force Base official says the task at hand is still in focus.
(Capt. Jeff Nagan, MAFB Public Affairs Officer)"The military is affected by the emergency furlough, it's affected by the government shutdown, but for service members it's business as usual. We're here to provide a distinct capability and a service to the American people and we remain committed to that regardless of what happens in Washington."
Captain Nagan went on to say the 91st missile wing and the 5th bomb wing will continue to provide full-spectrum deterrence during the shutdown.
Chantelle Pepple says she hopes people will have a greater appreciation for what "this monster took from this world and my family."

If you don't love this kind of football then your not a fan of the game. which is why this thread is the most retarded one I've read here in quite some time. And that's including all 30 or so of the threads Blackthoughtz started during the game.
Nerve racking- yeah, heart pounding- for sure, exciting- hell yes. If you don't love this kind of football then your not a fan of the game.
You have to win ugly sometimes. What annoys me is the painting of the picture that if Ryan had been given one more chance, they definitely win it and woe is Ryan, he was so close. Well they had 58 minutes to win the game and didn't. They only scored 13 points the whole game. Yes, they had momentum. But they had their chances; White dropped two passes on their final drive that could have won them the game. Oh well. Why is it that when we do the exact same thing in 2008 or 2010, they're better, but when they do it, somehow the wrong team won? If we win both of those close games last year, who finishes with more wins? The difference between these two teams in general is almost nothing. But yesterday? We flat-out outplayed them for long enough to deserve to win. THE RIGHT TEAM WON. Deal with it, national media.
One other thing. I believe that at least half of this young team experienced what it feels like to play a home game at RJS for the first time yesterday. It wasn't sold out, but it was going off and we made enough noise to make up for the empty seats. A few guys tweeted about it and it really seemed to get them jacked up. I think our poor play at home could change now.
The best part of yesterdays game is that the offense was so inept, the Falcons will have no film to study for the next match up!
We started the game by getting a sack/fumble on inside our own 10 yard line and came away with no points. Later in the second quarter we had another sack/fumble inside our own 10 yard line again and had to settle for a field goal. It was pretty inept.
Good thing Roddy White dropped that pass at the end. He would have broken a lot of hearts.
I'm sorry for not being pc. This thread is mentally challenged.
I enjoyed it and I am enjoying watching the D-line (all 8 guys) become the leaders of the D. Hope they don't mind sharing the leadership with the MLB and that old guy who plays DB with a smile on his face.
Yeah, We Won, But... Did You REALLY Enjoy The Game...?

Capt. Joe Ward chuckles when recounting the largest seatrout of his guiding career. Like so many other big-fish stories, this one nearly ended up as just that: a story.
Ward was chartering a grandfather/father/son trio, none of whom had much angling experience. They were fishing the hallowed trout grounds of Florida's Indian River,
however, and employing a deadly, time-honored tactic - live-shrimping the deepwater docks.
As Ward helped the younger angler with a small fish, the grandfather suddenly began hollering. With arms flailing and feet shuffling, the elderly man somehow managed to wrench a monster fish boat-side, away from a maze of line-cutting pilings. (Ward cringes remembering the scene: "The rod tip was literally in the fish's mouth," he recalls. "And the poor guy kept reeling!")
Somehow the fish stayed on, and Ward wrestled it over the gunwale. On board, they all gasped at just how large a 13-pound gator trout looks out of water.
Big trout simply love shrimp. And while this encounter may have involved divine intervention, the circumstances come as no surprise. Fishing with live shrimp represents a top-notch way to catch trout anywhere, anytime, especially for beginner anglers. But shrimp are also effective for serious fishermen, who typically rely on one of three time-tested techniques for presenting these juicy crustaceans to hungry trout: under a popping cork, free-lined or on a jig head.
Jig 'Em Up
Ward's clients that fateful day last year were fishing shrimp on jig heads. Ward (772-201-5770, www.captjoeward.com) often employs the technique around deepwater structures such as docks or during Florida's colder months, when fish congregate in deep holes in channels off the main river.
For the record, Ward knows shrimp. In addition to his guiding services, he and his wife, Cammie, operate Capt. Joe's Bait & Tackle in Fort Pierce, where shrimp sales are a big part of the shop's business. Like many other charter captains, he fishes these tasty trout morsels in a variety of ways throughout the year. During the colder months, Ward relies on his depth finder to locate pods of trout in deeper channels. When he marks fish, he tosses out a buoy and begins working the area over.
No matter how Ward is fishing shrimp for trout, he insists on one thing: a small, light-wire hook. The reason? "The shrimp is able to swim around naturally with that small hook," he says. "That's crucial. A lot of people use big hooks, but if you have a 2/0 or 3/0, it weighs down shrimp. They'll go right down into the grass."
Keeping with that philosophy, when Ward drops shrimp deep, he uses a mere 1/16-ounce Troll-Rite jig head, which is built onto a No. 2 hook. He hooks the shrimp from the underside up through the head, between the eyes and the brain (which is clearly visible in a shrimp's transparent body). The jig rides on a 2 1/2-foot, 20-pound fluorocarbon leader, attached to either 10- or 12-pound mono or 20-pound braid via a line-to-line knot and fished on a 7 1/2-foot light- to medium-action spinning outfit.
Ward offers this sage advice for when a fish hits: Don't horse it! While that big 13-pounder stayed on, most often, excessive pressure will pull a hook right out of a trout's soft mouth. "Just use a steady wind," says Ward, whose flats boat is appropriately named Slow & Easy. "Don't pump, because as soon as you drop the rod tip, that fish will be gone."
Pop a Cork for Trout
Dropping live shrimp on a jig head certainly proves deadly at the right time and place, but the popping-cork rig surely ranks as the all-time favorite. This method, which relies on a colorful, fish-attracting popping float above a lively shrimp, takes trout - and other species for that matter - from the sandy potholes of Ward's backyard, along the entire Gulf coast and all the way to the flats of Texas.
It's also a particularly good strategy for catching seatrout in the coastal waters of Georgia and the Carolinas.
"It's the traditional way to do it," explains Capt. Greg Hildreth (912-261-1763, www.georgiacharterfishing.com), who operates Hildreth Charters out of St. Simons Island, Georgia. "We anchor up on points and shell bars where these trout intercept bait. It's almost like freshwater bass fishing in a river. The trout lay behind the bars, and they dart out to hit bait in the current."
While Hildreth employs this method primarily in the sounds and rivers, he also uses it to catch summertime trout along the beach, where tidal runoff flows into the ocean. The popping action of the cork mimics a feeding fish, which attracts trout and other game fish right to the vicinity of a nervous - and often frantic - shrimp.
Hildreth runs a No. 2 Eagle Claw Kahle hook just under the horns on a shrimp's head and uses a short 15- or 20-pound mono leader. A 1/2-ounce cigar-shaped lead between the leader and main line keeps the bait down.
For years, Hildreth used the traditional "pencil-long, float-high corks," but then came across Lowcountry Lightning adjustable rattling floats, developed by Richie Ferdon of Georgetown, South Carolina. These popping corks employ clackers and a special slipknot for easily and quickly adjusting the bait's depth, a perfect feature for fishing the extreme 7-foot tidal changes common in Hildreth's trout-fishing haunts.
"It gives you the best of both worlds," Hildreth says. "You get a Cajun-style clacking cork, but you can vary your depth with it."
Hildreth fishes his rigs on a Pflueger Medalist 6030 spinning reel spooled with 20-pound braid and attached to a 7-foot medium-fast rod. He lets the current drift his rigs to fishy-looking spots and pops the cork approximately every 5 feet. He adjusts his float depths on every drift, so the shrimp covers the entire water column.
"It doesn't take long to find out if the trout are there or not," Hildreth says. "They'll bite if they're there."
Lowcountry Lightning floats have become increasingly popular since their inception four years ago, and very recently, the patents and design were acquired by Betts Tackle (919-552-2226, www.bettstackle.net) in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina.

WLGA welcomes "right and timely" public services commission
The significant challenges being faced by all public service areas in Wales are well documented, and the WLGA welcomes the forthcoming debate that will be inspired by the development of the new Commission.
The WLGA will await further detail on the remit of the Commission but would expect all parts of Wales' public services to be subject to examination, including the setting of strategic policy at a national level.
– Councillor Bob Wellington, WLGA Leader
The severe financial climate, high levels of public demand and the significant demographic changes taking place within the Welsh populace are all placing a huge amount of pressure on Wales' public services.
It is right, and timely, that we now seek to explore the most effective ways of maintaining, protecting and improving these services into the future.
A review into public service delivery has been expected for some time and has indeed been championed by a number of senior local government figures in Wales. The WLGA will look forward to playing a full and positive role in this.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Look for a chimney/box dihedral capped with a 12 foot roof about 60 feet left (to the west) of Too Much Crack. Climb up thin cracks to the roof which has a hand crack that flares into a bombay chimney. This route has really neat moves out the roof which is less difficult than it appears. It seems like the climbing up to the roof was neat, likewise. I climbed the route three times in a two year period as it seemed pretty fun back in the day.
There were rappel bolts placed to get off the climb and are hopefully still there. If the bolts aren't still there scramble a series of ledges to the west to descend. (Peter this will give you something to do next time you are bored).
A set of stoppers, some small cams, several hand sizes pieces for the roof and of course some over the shoulder runners. (Sorry if the rack is off a bit but it has been about 18 years since I last climbed this route).

Strawberries and Champagne Cheesecake Recipe
I bake from scratch because I believe that love—and sweetened condensed milk—are the best ingredients. —Kathryn Work, Louisville, Kentucky

This was so flavorful. I very much questioned the strawberries in the cheesecake (I am a bit of a purist), but they were DELICIOUS.

Add your Scent of the Day here
I'm probably a little late on this...
1. Creed Windsor
2. MFK Lumiere Noire
3. Amouage Lyric Man
4. Christian Dior Ambre Nuit
5. Le Labo 31
Any tips?
How do you know you're getting the good stuff? I've spotted a couple here and there and want to check that its the real vintage
I absolutely love the scent of Byredo's Pulp, but never wear it publicly due to the massive fruit bomb coming across as slightly feminine to my nose.
Uh-oh, the geekiness factor is sucking me in! I hope my library will carry this. Well-written...
While not unpleasant, I also liked it when it was called "Paris" by YSL.
I hope it is a better scent that the EDT as I just cannot stand it; to make it worse I received it...
If this was available to Europe, I might just subscribe, even though I'm not a man.
Brilliant idea!

Welsh in the mood for revenge
12:00pm Friday 28th December 2012 in Sport
Lnodon Welsh head coach Lyn Jones admits the Exiles will be on the hunt for revenge against London Wasps on Saturday after slipping to a narrow defeat to Worcester Warriors on Friday, writes Will Reilly.
Searching for their fifth win of the season, Welsh were made to rue three missed penalties from fly-half Gordon Ross as they went down 13-6, with Semisi Taulava scoring the Warriors try.
And with a home clash against Wasps next on the agenda, Jones has urged his side to be more clinical.
He said: "As a coach, you are looking at several things, but the two main areas are your performance and the result.
"I thought our performance was strong and we looked dominant and we were very disappointed not to win.
"We had lots of territory, but unfortunately we didn't take our opportunities to score points when they were on offer.
"We kept Worcester in the right areas of the field, but fair play they scored a really good try – three quick errors from us and we were under our posts conceding seven points.
"We're not the finished article at the moment and we know that there is a long way to go in the season.
"Where we were in August, where we are now and where we'll be in March are three different things, but we're going in the right direction.
"We've got Wasps next week now and it is important that we recover, keep fresh and motivated and make sure we get our revenge."
Despite a scrappy display, Worcester head coach Richard Hill insisted the result was all-important as the Warriors continued their good recent home record.
He said: "A win's a win and that has made us all happy just before Christmas – it was a potential banana skin.
"London Welsh rested their first team over the last two weeks against Grenoble in the Amlin Challenge Cup and they were nice and fresh.
"We'd had two big games against Perpignan as we wanted to get to the final of the Amlin Cup, whereas Welsh weren't bothered about going through, so they targeted this game.
"Our players dug in again in poor conditions. Last year, we probably would have lost that game because we wouldn't have had the spirit, fight and belief to keep going and close them out.
"It was not our plan to kick as much as we did and we'll have to look at it because we're better than that. Perhaps our players got a little bit nervous and kept trying to put the ball up the other end of the pitch."

I am in NYC for the 92nd time but this is the first time to be on TV. On Wednesday I'm with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzales on "Democracy Now:" http://www.democracynow.or
Tomorrow I tape with Laura Flanders' show Grit TV: http://www.freespeech.org/
Events could intercede but that's the schedule for now.
The topic? The perils and possibilities of the Obama transition, of course.
Topics aside, I have found another excuse to walk the sidewalks of Manhattan.
I started coming here in my teens, back when an earlier centrist Democrat wrapped in the rhetoric of change, hope, and moral rectitude — Jimmy Carter — was going to restore national honor and decency after a long bloody and corrupt Republican nightmare.
They are selling buttons with Obama and JFK's images next to each other in Times Square. That strikes me as a more historically accurate pairing than the standard apple and orange Obama-Martin Luther King Jr. confusion.
NYC Pretzels are now $3.

Servings: 8 servings
Cook Time: 10 min
Difficulty: Easy
Nonstick butter spray
2 cups all-purpose cornmeal
2 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sliced, about 1/8-inch, thin rounds okra
Vegetable oil
Spray pan with a nonstick butter spray, heat griddle to medium-high, so it gets hot.
Mix together the cornmeal, water, and salt, and allow mixture to sit for a few minutes. The batter should be very thin. Add sliced okra and stir together.
Reduce heat to no higher than medium. Add 3 tablespoons vegetable oil and pour batter into center of griddle, allowing it to spread to sides. The "lace" will form a crispy edge.
*Cook's Note: Use the "inverted plate on top" technique to flip hoecake.
* When the edges are slightly brown, place a wet glass plate over the hoecake. With a dishcloth, grab the handle of the pan, flip the pan and hoecake onto the plate. Slide the hoecake off the plate back in the pan to cook the other side, until golden brown.
Stir the batter and add oil to the pan before making your next hoecake. Serve with butter.

I love all of your recipes

These are so wonderful! I used sliced jalapenos, black olives and corn because I didnt have the okra. So addicting, I couldnt stop eating! I also used the reg plain corn meal.
By Annette Illert on March 18, 2013
Very good. I'm not sure what "all purpose" cornmeal is, I just used cornmeal. They turned out great and would fix again. Be prepared to start this well ahead of your meal as it's rather time consuming like fixing pancakes. Due to the oil splatter, be prepared for cleanup. Next time, I'll use a light spray instead. I used more salt since I was using the okra and it made a great side for dinner. These would also be good with just about anything added to them for any meal. These would be great with fruit added and drizzled with honey. 5 stars.

I saw this recipe on "Paula's Best Dishes". It looked great and she kept eating it until it was gone! I tried it that night, and my family loved it! My two boys are picky eaters, and they asked for seconds! This is a great southern recipe that has become a favorite in my home. Thanks Paula!
By Amy Williams on August 07, 2011
Hey Julie! The "all-purpose cornmeal" that Paula referred to on the show is sold in the grocery stores as a corn meal mix. Martha White, White Lily and Aunt Jemima all sell one. We are so sorry to hear about your accident, but very glad that Paula could help you get through it and very excited that you are cooking!
By Libbie Summers, Senior Food Editor for Paula Deen on July 04, 2011
I saw you on TV the other day and wanted to try your Okra Hoe Cakes. Laced Okra Hoe Cakes calls for all-purpose cornmeal, I have never heard of it. What brand are you using and where did you purchase it? I live in Georgia and have never seen it at Kroger, Publix, Walmart, or Ingles. Thank you for your assistance. I really love watching you on Food NetWork. I never cooked until I had a bad auto accident 2 years ago and started watching your show. It has given me something to do since I am not able to work as a forensic accountant anymore. We only live once so keep the butter coming! My Grandmother used it, my mother used it and both churned their own.

Just right of the giant slumped block by Pente, about 25 feet of facey climbing protected by a bolt accesses a long acute dihedral with a tight-hands crack in the back-- the Slot Machine. Exiting the crack at the top is probably the crux, as one is forces to battle rope drag and sandy feet while underclinging around the roof closing off the top of the dihedral. We found the Slot Machine to be sustained and strenuous, but hardly 5.12 as described in the Knapp guide. Placque at base. Good anchors.

September 11th, 2001 is a day in the history books that many Americans will never forget.
Twelve years later, hundreds in Panama City Beach took the time to honor the first responders who lost their lives in that tragedy.
Wearing full gear and carrying heavy tools, many firefighters, first responders, and volunteers took a trek up 22 flights of stairs, five times in a row. All of this, equivalent to what firefighters and police had to do during 9-11.
"On that day, that's what FDNY had to do," said Lt. Terry Paris, Panama City Beach Fire Department. They knew the towers were on fire, they knew people we trapped inside.. some were injured some were dying. They knew the outcome and they didn't hesitate, because that's our job."
Conditions in the stairwell were hot, but people who took the trek said it well worth it.
"It's hot, but when you are working that's the way it is," said Battalion Chief Larry Leonard, Panama City Fire Department. "The gear and the stuff we have to wear, it's hot and it's heavy, but it's just something we do."
"It was pretty muggy in the steps," said Lt. David Bullard, Columbia County(Georgia) Fire Rescue.
"The sacrifice is worth it, you reach your goals one step at a time and that was a good reminder of that."
This is the third year for the event in Panama City Beach.
"Last year we had 286 climbers and we raised over 12 thousand dollars. This year, we had 353 climbers and raised 15.5 thousand dollars. With extra donations from the community and people who came to watch it took us to 17 thousand dollars," said Paris.
The proceeds go to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. First responders traveled from many states to take part in the event.
"For them to make a special trip down here to take a part and to make a tribute, that's what it's all about, we are a family," said Paris.
Emotions were running high.
"I have been retired for a while and its bring you back like you are back on shift again," said Former Panama City Fire Chief Bobby Richardson, Sr. "Same guys, different ages, different faces, but all great young men."
"The emotions are over flowing, I can't really describe the feeling that I have. There is a tremendous amount of support," said Paris. "Not only from our military that was here, law enforcement, fire, but the civilians as well.".
They are set to hold the event again next year on the first Saturday in September.

Girard Petite Sirah
Sku: 53372
This wine is a perfect example of why we are seeing a resurgence of interest in this historic grape variety. Grown on old world head pruned vines in the Napa Valley, the fruit in this wine is brimming with blueberry and raspberry character
with a touch of pepper. On the palate the wine is surprisingly soft while retaining the mouth filling tannins and body for which our Petite Sirah is justly
renowned. The middle of the wine shows multiple levels of flavor with a rich silky mouth feel. The finish is smooth and shows an excellent balance of soft tannins and ripe fruit.
All of the fruit we use to make this comes from the small clone Petite Sirah which we believe delivers richer concentration and brighter flavors. Our vineyards are all in Calistoga where the warmer climate and rich soils provide great depth of character to our Petite Sirah.

The health of two young conjoined twins -- separated last summer -- has steadily improved, and they were released from a Dallas hospital Wednesday.
"We are thrilled and so excited. Nervous to learn everything we need to take care of these babies as well as they've been taken care of here. We're just so excited," said Jenni Ezell, their mother.
"There's definitely mixed emotions. We've been waiting for this day for a long time and we're excited to take the next step to get these boys home," added Dave Ezell, their father.
Owen and Emmett Ezell were born in July, joined at the abdomen. They shared a liver and bowels, and they had a birth defect that left their intestines covered by a thin layer of tissue outside of their tiny bodies.
A few months later, doctors at Medical City Children's Hospital performed the nine-hour surgery to separate them.
The boys are no longer being fed intravenously, but continue to be fed through tubes in their stomachs. And instead of being hooked to breathing machines, they now need only the assistance of a trachea tube.
They will move to a local inpatient rehabilitation center.
"They're sitting up on their own, trying to coo over the vent-trache. They're wanting to communicate and make noise. They're very interactive. They're social boys. They flirt with all the girls that come in. They flash smiles and wave. They're what they're supposed to be," Jenni Ezell continued.
The Ezells came to North Texas from Oklahoma for their sons' care. They have two other children and plan to move into a new home in Grand Prairie soon.
You can follow along with the boys' progress via Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ezelltwins?ref=ts&fref=ts

After attending the G'Day USA Los Angeles Black Tie Gala over the weekend, Rose Byrne was back home in Australia to attend the premiere of her latest movie, 'I Give It A Year', held at the Event Cinema George Street in Sydney.
The pretty brunette wore a Jill Stuart Fall 2012 dress.
Her berry dress, with a sheer top and leather skirt, was styled with black Casadei pumps with a cream trim and the signature 'Blade' heel, a black Kotur clutch, an Adeler ring and Misaki earrings.
A simple updo and barely-there makeup completed her look.
The soft leather skirt adds an edge to her sleeveless shirt dress with an intense hue; I just wish her accessories had a bit more bite.

Black student says he was detained for buying a $349 belt at upscale store, files civil rights suit
Posted Oct 22, 2013 6:14 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Updated: A black engineering student who says he was handcuffed and taken in for questioning by police after purchasing a $349 belt at a well-known New York City store has filed a civil rights suit.
Trayon Christian, now 19, contends in the Manhattan Supreme Court suit that he was targeted by Barneys employees and police because he is a "young black American male." After buying the belt April 29 with his debit card, he says, he was stopped by undercover New York detectives within a block of the store, the New York Daily News reports.
"The detectives were asking me 'How could you afford a belt like this? Where did you get this money from?' " said Christian, who was also interviewed by the newspaper, adding: "They said my card wasn't real, it was fake. They said someone at Barneys called to report it."
Other black purchasers have since complained about similar treatment they say they received at Barneys and Macy's in New York and the state attorney general's office has launched a civil rights probe to determine if the stores are complying with public accommodation laws that prohibit racial profiling.
Although Christian says he showed the detectives his driver's license and a student ID from the New York City College of Technology after buying a $349 belt at Barneys, they handcuffed him and took him to the 19th Precinct, where he was held in a cell for up to two hours, according to Christian and his lawyer, Michael Palillo.
Released with his belt and an apology, Christian was nonetheless angry about the way he says he was treated, the newspaper recounts. In addition to filing the civil rights suit, he returned the belt to Barneys for a full refund and says he will not be shopping there again.
The store and the New York police department didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily News. However, in a Facebook post the store said it was making an exception to its usual policy not to comment on pending litigation.
"In this instance, we feel compelled to note that after carefully reviewing the incident of last April, it is clear that no employee of Barneys New York was involved in the pursuit of any action with the individual other than the sale," a spokeswoman says in the post. "Barneys New York has zero tolerance for any form of discrimination and we stand by our long history in support of all human rights."
The comment apparently did little to mollify angry observers of the situation, reports the Huffington Post, since comments on the Facebook page were largely negative, from the store's standpoint.
A city law department spokeswoman said it has not yet been served with the suit, the Daily News reported.
Last updated on Oct. 29 to link include news of civil rights probe by attorney general's office.

Teenager fighting for life after serious car crash
3:02pm Thursday 7th February 2013 in News
A TEENAGER from Essex is fighting for his life after suffering serious head injuries in a crash.
The 18-year-old man was put into a medically induced coma by Great Western Air Ambulance critical care doctors after being found unconscious behind the wheel of his green VW Golf at around 10.45am on Tuesday.
The car was travelling along the A429 in Kemble, Gloucestershire before veering off the road and crashing into a tree.
It then rolled onto its roof, trapping the man upside down inside.
Fire crews had to cut him free before paramedics from two air ambulance teams battled to keep him in a stable condition after he suffered life-threatening head injuries.
The man was taken by Wiltshire Air Ambulance to Bristol's Frenchay Hospital which is the major trauma unit for the region.

On May 2, 2008, a strengthening Cyclone Nargis came off the warm waters of the Bay of Bengal and pummeled central Myanmar, causing what would become the worst natural disaster in the country's history. Some 138,000 people are thought to have died as a result of the storm, though figures are notoriously inaccurate, as the government is thought to have suppressed the death toll. High winds, storm surges, and heavy rains destroyed entire villages, stranding millions in remote areas without access to food, water, or medicine. Compounding matters, the ruling military junta refused offers of international aid for nearly four days, only finally appealing to the United Nations on May 6. The first international air deliveries of supplies started arriving two days later, and in limited quantities, as the junta refused access to NGOs and humanitarian relief agencies waiting with planes full of supplies just across the border in Thailand.
The international furor at the Myanmar regime — British Prime Minister Gordon Brown accused the government of creating a "man-made catastrophe" — focused attention on the paranoid callousness of the ruling junta. It may not have directly empowered the opposition movement, but the shocking images of corpses dangling from trees and of families starving even weeks after the storm, exposed the regime's incompetence and cruelty and foretold the beginning of the end of the military junta.

Harvey Penick's Little Red Book
Click on main image for larger view
Few books are �must-haves� for your library, but the Little Red Book is one book no library should be without. Written by the teaching master Harvy Penick, the Little Red Book gives you lessons and teachings from a lifetime of golf.
Harvey Penick began his life in golf as a caddy at the Austin Country Club in Texas at the tender age of eight. Eighty-one years later, he was still there providing guidance and wisdom to pros such as Ben Crenshaw and Tom Kite, as well as beginning golfers. After 60 years of keeping notes on what he had learned through his many years of teaching, Penick finally released his notes from his red notebook (thus the name Little Red Book) to the golf world. Penick�s simple, direct and practical wisdom pares away all the technical jargon of the golf swing so that every golfer can play their very best. Penick�s love of golf and teaching shines through in this 175-page book which will be an enduring classic on teaching the golf swing.

I hear it just about every day now… "How did you do this so fast??". The first answer of course is practice practice practice. After you do 2, 3 or 400 lenses you'll be doing them quite fast too. Especially if you are doing lenses that follow the same template. (meaning they have the same or similar modules and outline)
The second part of that answer is getting organized. My little organizational system (which YES! I'm going to share with you today) cuts tons of time off creating a lens. I'm not very organized around the house, but when it comes to work, I love to build little cheat sheets, and templates that help keep me together. I only have a few quiet hours a day to get this all done!!
1. Identify all the html code you're going to need for your lenses.
For the lenses I do I usually need 3 pieces of code.
1. my affiliate product link.
2. the code to make the boxes for the reviews
3. the code to make the visual call to action.
Hunting down code doesn't take very long ~ but when you have to keep doing it over and over again, it really adds time to any project. Especially if you have to go hunting down the website to find the code each time. I don't do that anymore.
I have now created a text document. (I just go to my screen with the icons (desktop) and right click my mouse and choose "new" then text document and it opens a new one ~ then I save it right on my desktop to get to it quickly and easily.
Now I just use this one doc for all my product based lenses. I have the html for the reviews and CTA at the top and I just add in each new product affiliate link as I go. I now only have to open one document ~ it just stays open but minimized at the bottom of my screen and I have all the code I need ~ no more hunting around.
To help you out ~ I've put together the code I use in my text doc here. It has the review box code and the CTA code in it. You will have to copy/paste it into your own text document, but it's all there in one place.
2. Determine which modules you're going to use in your lens.
I figured out which modules I'm going to use, and I made a list in alphabetical order, that way I can go to the all modules area of the "add modules" section and just grab what I need very quickly from the right letter area.
Here's my list:
1 big arrow module
1 Guestbook module
1 Poll module
1 RSS share your blog module
2 text modules
1 The most important thing module
1 Youtube module
Once I have added them all in I go to the sidebar and rearrange them in the order I want them in.
Intro ~ but it's already there and you don't see it in the sidebar.
the most important thing
big arrow
RSS module
guest book (sometimes I switch those last two around)
Now listen ~ just because this is the order I do my lenses in, and the modules I use doesn't mean you have to do it just as I do, the point here is to create a system. Once you have a system you can begin moving through the steps quite quickly without always having to think "umm… what do I do now." You have a system, you know exactly what to do next.
(also ~ not ALL of my lenses follow this template ~ but it is my affiliate product based template)
3. Start at the top ~ don't make it complicated.
Intro module: I just want to let people know the product I'm going to be talking about. The fact it will make a great Christmas gift, and the fact people will be really happy to get it as a gift.
This does not take research, this does not take a lot of time and effort. Really ~ it's 3 or 4 sentences. Just make it up. You can certainly imagine why someone might be happy to get whatever it is you are promoting as a gift right?? You can think about what kind of person on your gift list might like the product you're promoting. Right? Don't make this complicated ~ it's a few sentences, made up by you.
Click the discovery tool tab and turn it off. I do not want other lenses very related to mine coming up on these product pages. I leave the discovery tool on if I have more than one lens on a related topic, then I can put my own lenses in as well and that makes it worth it to me ~ especially now that they have moved it over to the sidebar.
First text module: This is where I usually talk about different features of the product. DON'T just copy the bullet point list of features off amazon ~ seriously. I do this a couple ways ~ sometimes I ask a question and then answer it. Sometimes I just point out features of the product. Again ~ this is NOT complicated. The best place to get this information is in the PRODUCT REVIEWS. They will tell you exactly what ROCKS about this product. Read them ~ but don't spend all day.
When I do the question type feature area I like to bold the questions. You can do this by adding <b>before your question and </b> after ~ that will make just that sentence bold. (it's not working here because I'm in text editor to be able to show you the actual code) So for the Ironman lens I might have done something like this:
How much weight can it hold? The Ironman Gravity 4000 is made of a tubular steel frame. It can hold up to 350 pounds, so it's great for even larger people.
This information was in the product info area ~ but I've made it unique content by making it conversational and in my own words. If I am a big person with a back issue I will probably be asking that questions so it speaks directly to the reader/purchaser.
I do 3 or 4 of these type questions and then link back to the product telling them they can find more features there.
The most important thing: This is where I put my visual call to action. I like to have it near the top of the lens because it really gets people's attention and calls them to action. You'll find this can be a great way to get people to click. If you put this all the way at the bottom of your lens you'll risk it not having the power it has up near the top. But make sure you have some content before it, you dont' want to yell take action at the VERY beginning.
Poll module: I like to have a poll module in my lens because it takes off some of the "sales edge" and it also helps people get involved with you and the lens. The more involved they get the more likely they are to click through. You can do a poll about the "must have feature" people look for when buying your product, who this product would be best for on their list, etc etc ~ again ~ you're just making this up. Use your imagination. I used to make clickable links in the poll module ~ I don't do that much anymore, but you still can if you want. If there's one feature that really stands out for the product in the poll I may link that one answer to the product page, but no more than 1 anymore.
2nd Text module: This is where I do reviews. I will grab the code for 3 boxes out of my text document. I will paste it into my lens after a paragraph talking about why reviews are great to read when you making a buying decision. Then I go to amazon and find 3 reviews that I like. I usually try to go to a later page of the reviews so people don't see the same ones when they come to amazon from my site. This is why it's great to choose a product with many many reviews.
I then highlight the "your text goes here" in the code and then paste in the review. You can get fancy and add a little something at the beginning of the review ~ like the title of the review at amazon or the person's name. You can use the <b></b> inside the area you're putting the text to make the beginning sentence bold if you want.
Youtube: Here I like to add a video ~ a video that reviews my product, or is directly relevant to helping my reader make a decision about buying the product. If there is a website in the description I usually go to the edit area and take it out. For some reason it doesn't always "stick" so I have to do it a couple times for it to work. Just one of those things. I don't worry about addresses in the video themselves, or them saying a website address ~ it's much easier to click a link on the page you're on than it is to open a new window and put in a whole new address that you have to remember.Key here is relevancy. It MUST be relevant.
Big arrow: This is my last call to action. If they've made it this far I want to have something seriously encouraging them to click out to my sales page. Big arrow does a nice job of that.
RSS module: This is a last ditch effort to get them to click through to one of MY pages instead of on a google ad or another ad on Squidoo that doesn't make me any money.
Guestbook: This is one more place to get your keywords in the title, get some conversation going on your lens, and one last place to put a link to your product page. If you don't have a guestbook you can't get an angel blessing. I'm not sure how big a deal that is, but I've gotten a few and my rank goes up a bit. It's worth it to just add the guestbook.
Don't leave the default text in your guestbook. Talk to them about their decision ~ did they decide to buy the product? Are they giving it as a gift? If so, come back and tell us how much the person liked it, or what their response was or something ~ you want to create a relationship with your reader ~ engage them.
4. Final touches.
Fill in your bio area ~ make it specific to each product, and have a link to the product in your bio area. It doesn't have to be complicated. My favorite thing about the holidays is finding just the right gift for everyone on my list. the yada yada would make a perfect gift for the "whomever" on my list this year.
Make sure you have an image of your choosing in your bio area and not the default squid.
Add tags to your lenses ~ you dont' have to research these, but if you noticed when you were doing kw research some related keywords that are relevant to your lens write them down and throw them in as tags. Otherwise just look through your lens and write down related words. Use smaller versions of your product name ~ so I used these for the Ironman lens:
Don't spend a bunch of time on this ~ use commons sense. You shop, what might you look for if you were looking for this product?
If you save your payout settings in your main profile area you don't have to worry about that on each lens and it saves time there as well.
That's pretty much it. Click publish and then "view lens" and check it out. Go through all your links, hover over them and make sure your Amazon url shows up at the bottom of the page ~ if it doesn't the link's not working and you need to go back in and fix it so it does.
The keys to getting faster at this is pretty simple.
1. Have a system.
2. Stop making it so complicated. There's no need for tons of research or anything. If you've chosen a product with some reviews and good product description you've got everything you need right there. Just use it to get your ideas flowing.
3. Loosen up and have a little fun ~ you're really just making this up and you can't do it wrong. You CAN do this!! Believe it and you will be surprised how quickly you prove yourself right.
As always if you have questions feel free to ask them in the comment section. I'll do my best to answer them.
Have an awesome day and keep taking ACTION!!!

No current Talk conversations about this book.
I know most people loved this book, but to me it reeked of self-indulgence. Congratulations to the author on her journey, I'm happy she found her way.
I could not understand Cheryl's self-punishing approach to finding herself. There was not enough about hiking and wilderness.
Dear Reader,
This book has heart. I listened to this as an audiobook and the only downfall of this format was the narrator they selected. She had done a book I had read recently (this past year) that I didn't like. The Author was pretentious and it embedded in my mind with this narrator. I know that is quite unfair to the narrator but unfortunately, this is what happened. I can't say it ruined it for me, because obviously based on my rating... it didn't.
Wild is the story of a woman who had the courage and conviction to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. This trail is extremely dangerous and she did it alone. Girl power! Cheryl went through some hard patches in her life that included divorce and her mother passing away. These events brought forth a yearning for her to do something exciting and challenging. I can relate to this COMPLETELY. I went through a divorce as well, and after I struggled to find my own self. I went back to school, changed careers and then decided to leave it all to join up with Nature's Classroom and live life very differently from most people. This was refreshing and ultimately changed my life , in good and bad ways. Doing something like this is possible for everyone and I can only say that everyone should do something unexpected of them once. This is the biggest point the Author touched home with me and I think is an excellent lesson for us all.
Getting back to the book, Cheryl not only decided to hike this dangerous trail but doing it alone (as a woman) makes it ten times as dangerous. Throughout the whole book I was on edge, wondering when something really bad was going to happen. Isn't it a little sad that memoirs and biographies have done that to me? I don't know about you but it seems that most books dealing with real life events have to revolve around tragedy in order to be published. This was not the case here and even though I was still on the edge of my seat waiting... it was so refreshing to read a book that was true to the nature of the story, the wild.
Cheryl is such a strong woman to have done this, she is quite the role model. The best part about her is that she has faults, and many of them. She is not little Miss perfect, the girl with enough money and time to burn. She comes from a poor background, dropped her low income job (after saving enough money) and planned this trip with nothing left for the end except a few hundred dollars and a semi-plan to move where she ended up. Anybody who says they can't just up and leave to do an impromptu trip will be sorely mistaken after reading this book. There is such a gritty truth to Cheryl's story and now I see why the book got such rave reviews. I highly recommend you read this one.
Happy Reading,
Thank you, Cheryl Strayed, for knowing where to start a memoir and where to finish it. All too often writers start long before the beginning and end long after the ending, making a spectacular middle of a book with early and late chapters I skip over, or drag my feet through. I appreciate that she didn't do this.
Wonderful read.
i am most everyone on LibraryThing and face book know something about this book. I actually cried when I finished the book! sad that it ended and joy for Cheryl's journey out of her deep sadness. I hope she writes a novel about the ending of way of life, the ending of a marriage from Paul's point of view
It's not very manly, the topic of weeping while reading. Yet for a book critic tears are an occupational hazard. Luckily, perhaps, books don't make me cry very often — I'm a thrice-a-year man, at best. Turning pages, I'm practically Steve McQueen.
Cheryl Strayed's new memoir, "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail," however, pretty much obliterated me. I was reduced, during her book's final third, to puddle-eyed cretinism. I like to read in coffee shops, and I began to receive concerned glances from matronly women, the kind of looks that said, "Oh, honey." It was a humiliation.
To mention all this does Ms. Strayed a bit of a disservice, because there's nothing cloying about "Wild." It's uplifting, but not in the way of many memoirs, where the uplift makes you feel that you're committing mental suicide. This book is as loose and sexy and dark as an early Lucinda Williams song. It's got a punk spirit and makes an earthy and American sound.

A beautiful dreadnought with a spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, and Taylor Expression System electronics.
For many guitar players, Indian rosewood is what it's all about. Taylor offers this classic tonewood in three premium classes, starting with the 700 Series. The Taylor 710ce Rosewood/Spruce Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar has a spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides. With the addition of the Taylor Expression System® and cutaway, this dreadnought exhibits a rich, full tone with the versatility needed for live performances. It also features rosewood binding, mother-of-pearl dot inlays, abalone rosette and Venetian cutaway that make this Taylor a timeless statement of tone and taste.
Indian Rosewood/Spruce
The warm, responsive tone of the spruce top enhances the rich, full overtones of Indian rosewood in this classic tonewood pairing.
Dreadnought (DN)
The Taylor Dreadnought is a focused guitar with plenty of presence, recently redesigned to be even more assertive. It's the traditional choice for the traditional player; the model to drive with a heavy pick.
Expression System
Using proprietary pickup technology developed at Taylor, the Expression System amplifies your guitar with an unrivaled, natural live sound. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally-clean amplified sound. It's your tone. Amplified.
The finish used to create this guitar's lustrous gloss top, back, and sides was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultraviolet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes. Available in natural finish.

By SCOTT WEISSER
Three teens were convicted of felony murder Thursday night in Goshen.
The jury's verdict against Anthony Perez Sharp Jr., 19, Goshen, Blake Layman, 17, Elkhart, and Levi Sparks, 18, Elkhart, was announced shortly before midnight in Elkhart Circuit Court.
There were sobs and anguish from the defendants' family and supporters in the courtroom as the verdict against each teen was read, one after the other. Their anger and grief continued as they exited the Goshen courthouse.
"It's not fair!" a woman on the west lawn of the courthouse screamed.
The teens had been charged after a botched burglary on Elkhart's south side Oct. 3, 2012.
Layman, Sharp, Jose Quiroz and Danzele Johnson broke into the home of Rodney Scott at 1919 Frances Ave. Prosecutors said Sparks waited outside as a lookout.
Scott, awakened by the noise of the break-in, fired several shots from .9mm handgun at the intruders. Johnson, 21, Goshen, was killed. Layman was wounded in the leg.
Prosecutors charged the intruders with felony murder. Under Indiana law, if someone dies during the commission of a felony, those who were engaged in the underlying felony can be charged in the person's death.
Last year, Quiroz entered a plea deal with Elkhart County prosecutors. He received a 45-year sentence to the Department of Correction, plus 10 years on probation.
On Thursday, prosecution and defense lawyers agreed the jury could consider a lesser charge of burglary. Though presented with that option, jurors returned verdicts of murder after close to five hours of deliberation.
Layman, Sharp and Sparks are scheduled to be sentenced in Circuit Court Sept. 12.

To put this into perspective, if you take away the two games we play next year against the Eagles who went 4-12 this past year, it changes our opponents 2012 record to 115-109. This moves the winning percentage above 500. Basically saying that while it appears we have a real easy schedule, based on this list, the two games against the Eagles really drag down our position on that list. Same goes for the Cowboys and Redskins. And we all know how we play against the Eagles.
2014 Our Picks "Don't you just love this draft?! "#Sexy
Round, Player, Position
1) Pick- Odell Beckham Jr.! /WR
2) Pick- Weston Richburg /C
3) Pick- Jay Bromley /DT
4) Pick- Andre Williams! /RB
5) Pick- Nat Berhe! /SS
5) Pick- Devon Kennard /LB (Comp.)
6) Pick- Bennett Jackson /CB
Thing is this year's winning percentage of our opponents was the HIGHEST in the league. So even taking away the Eagle's record (which is quite a big change) the winning percentage in 2013 of around 50% is a HUGE improvement over this year.
On another track, it is interesting to see some fans have so LITTLE faith in the team. According to them we are horrible against the Eagles and always will be. With the Cowboys and Redskins not far behind. What the f. Maybe it's a psychological ploy to avoid the sadness when the team does not make the playoffs. They don't want to get their hopes up. But, man, isn't that the definition of a fan? Someone who dreams his team will win big. You see fans in cities that have not made the playoffs in decades and they are still there rooting and hoping. Sometimes I do agree that Giants fans are spoiled.

From 1962 through '66, Sandy Koufax posted such brilliant numbers that there was sort of a competition to see who could best measure Koufax's brilliance. The following is from a pre-season magazine, Baseball 1964 Guidebook:
Branch Rickey, baseball's senior statesman, has seen all the great players-going back to the time more than a half-century ago when he was a major league catcher himself -- and he rates Koufax as one of the greatest of the great..
Rickey's system of judging a pitcher does not rely upon his won-lost record, a yardstick influenced by the general skill of the players supporting the moundsman. Rather, Rickey puts it on a man-to-man basis, one that eliminates outside variables.
Two figures attract Rickey's attention: the margin by which the hurler's innings pitched surpassed the number of base hits he allowed; and the margin by which his total strikeouts surpassed his bases-on-balls yield. These figures give a rating that's based on the fundamental duel between pitcher and batter -- without the influence of other players. Branch smilingly refers to the combined figures as the "Rickey rating." (When a pitcher has allowed more hits than innings pitched and more base on balls than strikeouts, Rickey then assigns him a negative rating.)
Koufax pitched 311 innings during 1963 and gave up 214 hits. This gives him 97 points. He fanned 306 while walking only 58. The difference here gives him 248 for a "Rickey rating" of 345.
Rickey states that this figure is absolutely phenomenal for a single season. Closest was Walter Johnson's 336 points in 1912. Big Ed Walsh got 334 in 1908, the year he won 40, Christy Mathewson comes next with 330, then there is a drop to 300 for Grover Alexander, and then down to the 289 for Bob Feller and 256 for Dazzy Vance.
Italics all mine.
This measures a pitcher's durability, and his ability to strike batters out, and his ability to not walk batters. Alas, it also measure the ability of the fielders behind the pitchers, even though Rickey was reportedly trying to do exactly the opposite. Rickey obviously knew that all fielders weren't the same. But he, like almost every other baseball man for roughly forever, just couldn't make the logical leap that the difference between fielding units' ability to prevent hits on batted balls was larger than the difference between pitchers' ability to prevent hits on batted balls.
Rickey (and presumably his in-house sabermetrician, Allen Roth) was trying, though. Which was a lot more than anyone else was doing in the early 1960s.

The most popular New Year's resolutions aren't hard to guess: get in shape, save money, quit smoking, give more.
According to the University of Scranton Journal of Clinical Psychology, the top resolution for 2012 was (drumroll, please) losing weight.
But while the coming year's biggest goals might be slightly different from person to person, the challenge is the same—sticking to them beyond Jan. 1.
So do yourself a favor and commit to it right here, right now on Farmington-Farmington Hills Patch. Post a comment with your resolution for 2013—whether its dropping extra pounds or giving more of your time to charity—in hopes that some friendly encouragement from your neighbors will help you achieve it.
Happy new year from all of us at Patch, and good luck in making 2013 all you hope it will be.
