Within about two months of each other, I'm pretty sure I wrote one article titled "What's Wrong With the Red Sox?" and another one that included the sentence "The Red Sox are clearly the very best team in baseball." The first article was probably filled with panic about the Red Sox' 4-10 start in 2011 -- exactly the record they have this season going into Monday.
The second article was probably written toward the end of June -- between June 8 and June 20 last year, the Red Sox scored 10 or more runs in six different games, and they only allowed more than four runs twice. They looked like the most complete team in baseball, and it wasn't especially close.
There's a third article I'm not mentioning -- "Boy, That Sure Didn't Work Out Well For The Red Sox" -- but it's the start and the middle that's important. The Red Sox had a horrible start. The Red Sox looked like the best team in baseball just about a month later. There's a lesson there. Overreacting in the first two week of the season is always, always, always silly.
But here's the difference: Last year, the Red Sox were supposed to be invincible world-beaters. They struggled at first, but then they turned into invincible world-beaters. Until, you know, September. But when the Red Sox struggled in April, it was a stunner. A complete shock. This year, the Red Sox had some concerns about their pitching entering the season, and it's the pitching that's been abysmal. If you thought the Red Sox would have problems, this is what you though the problems would look like. Only more so.
If the Red Sox don't turn it around -- still a big if -- the Red Sox will make some moves. I'll define "turn it around" as getting to .500, and "make some moves" as the front-office running around the Fenway offices like the passengers in Airplane after Julie Hagerty asked if anyone knew how to fly an airplane. Here's my guess at how the Red Sox will proceed if they keep losing.
Step One: Revamp the bullpen (end of April, early May)
Demoting and releasing relievers is a pretty easy step. It's the first thing every struggling organization tries -- it's the unplugging the modem of the baseball world. When your internet goes out and you call support, the first thing they ask is if you've unplugged your modem. Same thing goes with bad pitching staffs and middle relievers.
It's worth noting that not a single reliever on the team has over 10 innings pitched. We're still in the small-sample swamp. But if the Red Sox keep struggling, it's the bullpen that will see the first wave of changes. Mostly because the fans aren't going to care too much about Vicente Padilla vs. Clayton Mortensen. They only care if one of them can get outs. It's an easy way to look busy and try for different results.
Step Two: Put Daniel Bard back in the bullpen, and trade for (or sign) another starter (middle of May)
This ties in with the first step, actually. The last time Daniel Bard started games, he flashed electric, amazing stuff; he also couldn't throw strikes. Years later, he's back in the rotation, this time at the major-league level, and he's doing the same thing. Bard has an unquestionably elite arsenal of pitches, but it seems like he has an Oliver Perez button that's on the fritz, turning on and off at will. You can hide that better in the bullpen, and you can even sell it as a one-man cavalry coming back to wrest the closer's role from the usurpers.
And what would get Bard back in the bullpen is another starting pitcher coming over. Wandy Rodriguez has started the season well for the Astros, and an overwhelming offer might also convince them to part with Bud Norris. John Lannan hasn't taken well to his demotion, but he could be had for a song (and a few million dollars). Roy Oswalt is probably a long shot, but he needs to be mentioned here by law. If the Red Sox keep allowing almost two homers for every nine innings they pitch, they aren't going to wait until July to get another pitcher.
Step Three: Fire Bobby Valentine (if not at .500 by the All-Star Break)
It could have started worse for Valentine. He could have gotten a tattoo of the Liberty Bell to show his appreciation for Boston. He could have drunkenly crashed a snow plow into the side of a hospital. He could have said something like "I love Derek Jeter … I respect Derek Jeter. You know why? A lot of people have wanted to get him out for the last 15 years, but that (expletive) is still here." Things could have been worse for him.
As is, though, things are pretty bad. Amazingly bad. About as bad as could reasonably be expected. The fans were chanting the previous manager's name during the Fenway Park anniversary, as devastating as hearing a significant other mutter an ex's name in bed. The Red Sox are worse than expected. Things were said that shouldn't have been. More things were said that shouldn't have been. There was jackassery all around.
And if the season doesn't improve quickly, Valentine is an easy fall guy. He wasn't the manager the fans were clamoring for. He was never especially beloved in Boston, meaning it's not like we're talking about Wade Boggs here. And so far, Valentine hasn't done a single thing right. He's not solely responsible for the awful start -- I'd argue that he's barely responsible. He's not the one allowing home run after home run. But as an effigy to burn, he'd do quite nicely.
It's early. Really, really early. Last year at this time, three of the eventual playoff teams (Arizona, Detroit, and Tampa Bay) were scraping the bottom of their respective divisions. The Red Sox will probably snap out of this. But if they don't, they'll start tinkering. It starts with the bullpen. It ends with the manager. In the middle, they're hoping there'll be wins.

The 2007 Tablas Creek Vineyard Grenache is Tablas Creek's second varietal bottling of the most widely planted grape in the Rhone Valley. The wine shows the bright fruit and spice, medium body and tangy acidity of the Grenache Noir grape, as well as the characteristic lushness of the 2007 vintage.
We use most of our Grenache in our Esprit de Beaucastel and Cotes de Tablas blends each year. However, we feel that this is a grape whose bright fruit, spice and acidity lends itself well to bottling as a single-varietal wine as well. In addition, Grenache seems to improve more dramatically with vine age than any other grape we grow, and we have been increasingly impressed with its performance in Paso Robles the last few years. We first produced a single-varietal Grenache bottling in 2006.
Our Grenache grapes were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2007 vintage was the best vintage we've yet seen at Tablas Creek. Yields were very low (down between 15% and 30%, depending on variety) due to a cold and very dry winter, which produced small berries and small clusters. A moderate summer without any significant heat spikes followed, allowing gradual ripening, and producing red wines with tremendous intensity, excellent freshness and a lushness to the fruit which cloaks tannins that should allow the wines to age gracefully. The Grenache was harvested between September 25th and October 22nd.
The Grenache grapes were destemmed and then fermented using native yeasts in closed stainless steel tanks. After three weeks, they were pressed and moved to 1200-gallon foudres to complete their fermentation. The Grenache lots were blended in June of 2008, when we added 10% Syrah to give a touch of black fruit and mineral to the wine. It was aged for an additional year in a 1200-gallon foudres and bottled in April 2009. The wine underwent only a light filtration before bottling, and should be expected to throw a sediment over time.
The 2007 Grenache displays a deep, rich nose of cherry, plum, licorice and black tea, medium to full body, and a vibrant, spicy finish that turns a touch darker and firmer at the end. We recommend cellaring the wine for 6-12 months and enjoying it over the next decade.

TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) – Most of us book our travel online these days. But when you and your neighbor look up airfares and hotels, you may find completely different prices. It's called travel website profiling.
You may have heard a report recently that Orbitz has been targeting Mac computer users with higher-priced hotels than people who log in on a Windows PC. There's some truth to that, but it turns out it's just the tip of the iceberg.
The Wall Street Journal broke the story that Orbitz targets Mac users with higher-priced hotel rooms than PC users, because Mac users tend to have higher incomes and more expensive tastes.
Orbitz does not deny the claim.
But a follow up report goes even further, saying that Orbitz knows a lot more than just what type of computer you have, and that it targets you accordingly. For instance, if you enter from a budget website like Kayak, The Wall Street Journal says Orbitz may offer lower-priced options. If you enter from Trip Advisor, you may get higher-priced options because you care more about hotel quality.
But from the doesn't that stink file, this type of profiling can get a bit creepy.
The Wall Street Journal says Orbitz even takes into account what city you live in when offering you rooms. Orbitz knows that New Yorkers tend to prefer more urban-feeling beach hotels, while many Midwesterners prefer simpler properties.
There's really nothing wrong with this. Other travel sites do it and web retailers, like Amazon, do it all the time, targeting you with products it thinks will interest you based on what you've looked at previously.
Personally-targeted ads are a trend of the future that are here to stay.
So don't waste your money.

---- —
ANDOVER — An individual holed up in his home on Woburn Street after becoming aggressive to case workers is in custody.
Police had closed off a section of Woburn Street as they negotiated with the man who was refusing to come out of his home there after he responded aggressively to case workers.
A staging area had been established at the nearby South Elementary School as police negotiated with the man from outside his home.
The individual was home alone, and nobody else was at risk, according to Andover Police Lt. Edward Guy.
The scene started to unfold at around 3:45 p.m. Friday when case workers arrived at the man's home and he responded aggressively, according to scanner reports.
More information will become available on this as it develops.

Yesterday, we were amazed to see -- on an unrelated online page -- a banner advertisement featuring five profile photos of five of our own Facebook friends, who were unknowingly being pictured there as "Yahoo users"!
Privacy violations at Facebook have reached such proportions that we today have deleted our Facebook account, and we suggest you do the same.
Deletion of a Facebook account is not so simple. We only found the requisite link today at our Facebook account site online after resorting to the Facebook "help" menu item and entering "delete account" in the keyword box .
If Facebook currently has the option to deactivate or delete a Facebook user account in its normal account management settings, we were unable to find it.
We are guessing that this needle in a haystack situation is "by design" to make it difficult to find "account deletion" and leave Facebook.
In any case, we "deleted" our Facebook account today, although we were informed that the account would first only be "deactivated" for the next 14 days, during which we could reactivate it.
The whole thing reminded us of trying to cancel a client user's anti-virus program subscription at McAfee some years ago, which proved to be a complex and laborious undertaking and not even possible online, even though subscribing online had been the easiest thing in the world.
We think that it is prima facie fraud to entice users to enter subscription contracts easily but at the same time to make legal cancellation of such subscriptions a great expense of time and effort for users, indeed, very difficult or impossible for normal users not well versed in online or related communications technology and/or practices.
The reason for our account deletion is the apparent virtually unregulated privacy encroachments being committed by Facebook, violations which regulatory authorities such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or perhaps even the DOJ Antitrust Division should long ago have stopped before they got out of hand.
The use of private actions and private photos for commercial purposes falls in our category of being "strictly illegal".
We are very certain that such exploitation of private information, regardless of the unilateral terms of use of Facebook, is illegal, because there has been no arms-length bargaining to arrive at exploiting, uncompensated uses of such private information.
Frankly, if we were to advise young people in law schools today, we would advise a good number of them to go into "social networking law", as you will have a lot of work to do in the future.
We ourselves will remain on the lookout for some smart young people to come up with a normal social networking portal that respects user privacy and can figure out a way to make money without violating that user privacy.
We have nothing against online advertisements, by the way, we simply do not want to see our own uncompensated visage or the uncompensated visages of unknowing, uncompensated friends being posted online as alleged "testimonials" for a product, whereby private activities and photos are being diabolically used for the commercial profit of some greedy company.
That is a terrible "Brave New World" that in our opinion starts to go beyond what even George Orwell imagined.
So, ladies and gentlemen of the FTC, the ball is in YOUR court.
The time for quick and decisive action is LONG past.
What excuse do you have for not acting?
Do we need to press your "like" button?
As if users knew what pressing that button means!

Fishing with heavy tackle - 80-pound to unlimited - puts tremendous pressures on you and your gear. It's a contest of leverage, with the big-game rod serving as the backbone. This backbone must be strong enough to bully a 1,000-pound marlin and forgiving enough to override any mistakes made in the heat of the fight. It's a delicate balance, to be sure, but one that can result in an exhilaration known only to those few who have conquered a giant fish on rod and reel.
We asked three of big-game fishing's top captains and anglers what they look for in a heavy rod and received strikingly different answers to some of the same questions. We'll let you decide which of their responses make sense for you and your style of fishing.
The Stick
"Traditionally, back in 1940s, '50s and '60s, you just needed a long, heavy broomstick with a parabolic bend from butt to tip," says Tracy Melton, president of Melton International and the first man to best a grander on stand-up tackle. "A rod with parabolic bend simply bends in the same arc across the length of the rod from butt to tip. But since marlin can either run on the surface or tough it out down deep, it's hard to keep pressure on a fish with a stiff, parabolic rod. The trick is to design a rod that will load easily at about 15 to 20 percent of the breaking strength of your line, but still has a nice, firm butt section that can hold 50 percent of the breaking strength and really put the screws to a fish when it goes deep."
Capt. Peter Wright, a 30-year veteran of Australia's Great Barrier Reef who currently resides in Stuart, Florida, likes his rods to pack a bit more wallop. "I want my rods to start to take a set at about 40 percent of the breaking strength of the line. If it doesn't start setting at 40 percent, it's not going to be able to lift when the fish is close to the boat. I want my rods to be fully flexed and able to lift and recover line at 75 percent of the breaking strength. Those are my magic numbers: 40 percent and 75 percent." Wright cites the plethora of sharks in Australia and his concern for beating fish before they wear out as reasons for using such stiff rods.
As a charter-boat captain in Madeira, Capt. Roddy Hays has chased some of the world's biggest marlin with anglers possessing varying degrees of experience. He feels that the rod should match the angler, not the fish. "It depends on what the man in the chair can do with the rod," says Hays. "If the angler can keep pressure on the fish, you can use a broomstick. But a slightly more responsive rod is better for people who don't have experience. Instead of the rod controlling you, you should be controlling it."
Most heavy trolling and stand-up rods feature roller guides to help limit the friction that comes with using 30- or 40-plus pounds of drag. The two most important guides are the stripper guide (the one closest to the reel) and the tip.
Generally speaking, if you're using anything over 50-pound, the rod tip and stripper guide should be of the roller variety. However, when using stand-up gear with a not-so-experienced angler on board, Hays prefers to use ring guides.
"With stand-up rods I like to use regular ring guides because where the rod goes, the ring tip goes. Sometimes anglers can't follow the fish with the rod tip and start fighting off the roller tip at odd angles. With a ring tip I don't have to worry about the angler doing something silly.
Because he's into large fish almost every day, Wright has very strong opinions about his guides: "They have to be roller guides, and the only guides I'll allow on any of my rods are AFTCO roller-bearing guides. When somebody makes a better one, I'll use it. Stuart makes good guides, but I think its stripper guide is backward."
Solid fiberglass wins hands down as the material of choice for most heavy rods. Graphite's stiffness keeps it out of most big-game rods because it can sometimes snap under pressure. Fiberglass and graphite mixtures offer a lighter rod with the durability of fiberglass and the extra backbone of graphite.
"The last thing you want is a rod that will break, so I like rods with some glass in them instead of pure graphite," Hays says. "I think glass and carbon make a really nice mixture, but I'll always go with ones that I've had experience with. If I know a rod has caught 10 or 11 big fish, and I don't want to mess around, that's the one I'll use."
Here, all three pros were unanimous. They all prefer a bent-butt rod when using heavy gear, with leverage and rod angle being the factors that most influence the decision. Since curved butts keep the rod tip lower, they make it easier to pump and retrieve line.
"You've got to go with curved for anything over 50-pound," says Wright, "but I use a curved butt all the way down to 20. You've got to keep the rod lower, and when the fish is straight up and down, you don't want the rod up in the air. The rod should never get above 45 degrees from the horizontal."
All of the rods on Hays' boat have curved butts, including his stand-up gear. "An 80-pound stick with a straight butt is next to useless," says Hays. "You can't put pressure on the fish if it goes down."

"It's unfortunate we have to discuss a subject of this nature, but the University of North Alabama Public Safety believes our teachers safety and the safety of their students are one of the most important responsibilities we face," said Terry Parker, an ALICE instructors for the UNA Public Safety Training Institute. "'ALICE' is an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. The main objective of the program is to provide the students and staff with options to increase their chance of survival during an "Active Shooter on Campus" emergency."
The "ALICE" program is designed to supplement current "lockdown" procedures used frequently in our public schools and workplaces as a stand-alone defensive strategy for an active shooter event. Where the traditional lockdown response is passive in nature (lock doors, turn out lights and wait for help), the "ALICE" program is considered a more aggressive response.
The "ALICE" program is being recognized across the country as an additional component to the traditional "lockdown" response to an "active shooter on campus" emergency. Colleges, high schools and elementary schools are adopting this program and numerous campuses across the country are sending their police and security personnel to be trained in the "ALICE" program.
Sergeant Tommy Hood, the training officer for the Jasper Police Department, said Jasper Police Chief Connie Rowe has stressed the importance of school safety from day one.
"Chief Rowe is also sending an officer to active shooter instructor school in order to train our entire department on different ways to respond to a critical incident," Hood said. "Keeping our children safe is our department's first priority."
Hood said the entire Jasper Board of Education, from Superintendent Dr. Robert Sparkman, Assistant Superintendent Dr. Jean Lollar, along with every principal and teacher, have went above and beyond in allowing the Jasper Police Department's Critical Incident Response Team to train in every school.
"And we, the members of the JPD Critical Incident Response Team, will do everything within our power to keep our schools and children safe," Hood added.
Parker said the events on school campuses over the past 10 to 15 years have shown that the "lockdown" system is insufficient in protecting our youth and the concept of "it could never happen here" is a myth.
"Tragic events in schools and workplaces have dictated the need for enhanced options to be provided to staff and students to increase their chances of surviving a horrific event," Parker said. "Because after all, the true first responders in an 'active shooter' situation are the students and staff at that school or the workers in that office."
ALICE is a highly effective "common sense" training that is being readily adopted by many private businesses, educational and law enforcement institutions and other social organizations throughout the United States who realize they need education on this topic.
"Preparation is key for any situation we face in life, the more prepared we are the better we perform. But hopefully the faculty and staff who attended the training this week from the Jasper Board of Education will never have to use the information they learned," Parker said. "But should a situation arise in a classroom or in an office, they will have an idea of what they can do to increase their survivability."

Starlin Castro daydream
Haha, I know some of yall were probably confused by the title, but check out Castro in this clip. I know the link goes to awful announcing, but I kind of agree with what Valentine had to say here. Yeah, he didn't have to talk about it for 7 minutes, but he didn't really say anything that was too terribly off base (although I didn't listen to the whole thing because, let's be real, I just don't really care that much about either Bobby V or the Cubs). Plays like that make the worst of Yunel not even seem so horrible, huh? Oh crap, I probably shouldn't have brought him up again! Oh well, enjoy!

The Miami Heat have been here before, back in November when a slow start led to a 9-8 opening record and yuks galore. The Heat were, at the time, just a couple games ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the standings, and worse than the 2009-10 Miami Heat with Dorell Wright instead of LeBron James and Michael Beasley instead of Chris Bosh. There was tension between the dual hegemons (LeBron and Dwyane Wade) and a supposed boiling clash with Erik Spoelstra, the man who the players were supposedly abandoning.
But Miami survived. A huge win in emotional Cleveland started a 20-2 run that made everyone forget about the struggles we'd witnessed. Those who laughed at Miami came to fear their power. Those who honestly believed Miami would be a bad team tucked their tails between their legs and disappeared.
Now, they're back. The Heat have lost five straight to solid competition, all of the opponents playoff teams. What's worse is that Miami's next six opponents are also playoff-bound, with the two-time defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers visiting South Beach tonight. If Miami is losing to the Knicks and Blazers, foes like the Lakers and Spurs (Monday) seem like Everests. But if we learned anything from November, from that Cleveland battle and from the run that followed, it's that one game can change anything. One emotional, powerful win can alter the path of fate, and a huge win over the Lakers can free Miami of its psychosis. Right?
We'll see. The Lakers visit the Heat at 5 PM Eastern on TNT.

— I think some of the best dishes are created when you apply flavors and infusions from the outdoor grill into classic recipes which are traditionally prepared indoors.
This week's column covers such a dish,
and frankly, one of my favorites.
The atmosphere of autumn reminds us of comfort foods, and one primary genre' of comfort foods is soup. This French onion soup recipe is smoky, hearty and cheesy, and most importantly, classically simple to prepare if patience is observed. The key is how patient you are with the onions.
First, set up the grill with indirect heat. As you know by now, my approach is to use a hickory log as the divider which keeps the hot coals on one side. As the log slowly smolders it will provide the smoky infusion for which we are looking. The other alternative is to sprinkle coals with hickory chips, or if you are using a gas grill, use a smoke box with your favorite wood.
• 6 to 8 large yellow onions
• 4 to 6 slices of french bread
• 2 to 3 Tbs of butter
• 1 Tbs olive oil
• 1 Tbs flour
• 3 cans of beef broth (each can is 14.5 oz)
• 2/3 cup water
• 2/3 cup dry red wine
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper to taste
Cut the onions in half and place on the side of the grill that is opposite the coals along with the French bread. Cover with lid and allow to smoke for 30 minutes. Remove the smoked onions and French bread and allow to cool. Thinly slice the onions and set aside.
Heat the butter and oil over medium heat in a large pan. Add the onions and saute' until a medium caramel brown. This step is very important, as most people do not cook the onions long enough to achieve the color.
This step will take a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently. That is what achieves the sweetness of the soup.
Once the caramel-brown color is achieved, add the flour and stir for another two minutes. Add the water and stir until well blended. Now add the wine and the beef broth. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and allow to cook over low heat for 20 minutes. Can you smell that?????
Season to your liking with salt and pepper. Be careful with the salt, as most broths tend to be salty.
Ladle into individual oven-proof bowls and float a piece of smoked French bread on top of the soup.
Sprinkle with Swiss and Parmesan cheeses.
Place in the oven at 400 degrees on the broil setting.
Serve when the cheese is just slightly brown, like a nice pizza. Accompany this dish with your favorite red wine. You have no idea how good this is until you try it. Please let me know what you think.
You'll be thanking me.

Interstate 65 has reopened following an accident in Sumner County Friday afternoon.
The crash was reported around Noon at mile marker 103, near the Millersville exit.
Initial reports indicate multiple people were injured in the rollover crash. They were all transported by ambulance to Skyline Medical Center.
The crash victims' identities or conditions were not immediately known.
Officers at the scene said it appeared the group was traveling from Wisconsin. The SUV had several suitcases inside at the time of the wreck.
Witnesses said the SUV may have clipped an 18-wheeler before flipping at least three times.
Millersville officials said the stretch of road where the wreck happened is a constant area of concern.
"It is a very active stretch of highway for accidents," city manager Robert Mobley said. "We believe it is one of the most dangerous sections of i-65 from one end to the other."
Mobley said emergency responders work wrecks on the section near Bethel Road south of Whitehouse weekly and in some cases multiple times a day.
"Our fire department responds to literally dozens and dozens of accidents out there every year and unfortunately there are many injuries," he said. "We have had fire fighters and police officers injured on that stretch of highway while working these accidents."
TDOT is working on a plan to install message boards north of the winding section of road to warn drivers to slow down.
The section is winding and has low visibility in some areas.
"They just need to recognize that it is a really dangerous area," Mobley said. "There are warning signs out there recommending that drivers drop below the speed limit."
He continued, "They should not be on cell phones or anything that will distract them because visibility is limited."
Mobely said the new message boards should be in place by early 2014.

The lunches and dinners were excellent and consisted of several courses. Breakfasts were good but we would have liked more low cal. choices. The Philippino waiting staff were friendly, spoke good English and could not have been more helpful. There was 'free seating' in the restaurant. House wine was included, but was not very good. We opted for the drinks package; money paid up front to include cocktails, a choice of good wines, spirits and juices, water and soft drinks.
Excursions were well organised and our guide, who spoke excellent English, was very good. Earphones were provided. these enabled us to hear everything said by the guide. The more popular sights were very crowded and very hot in the heatwave.Smaller events were unexpectedly fun, like Russian doll painting classes and a cookery lesson. On-board lectures were excellent.
The staff were friendly and helpful at all times.

This site features interesting topics about the MEGA brand. It is here where one can can learn about the "catching to canning" process of MEGA in order to produce one of the best tasting and highest quality sardines brand in the market , aside from other products ,services, and career opportunities of Mega Fishing Corporation.
Other fishing companies use the traditional technique of shovels and tubs to store and transport the fish catch to the canning plant. Such a technique unnecessarily extends the exposure of the fish catch to the elements, where exposure results to temperature increases creating undesirable histamine levels that cause allergies when the fish is consumed. On the other hand, Mega Fishing Corporation (MFC) takes pride in being the first company in the whole of Asia to use the fish pump technology as opposed to the traditional method of using shovels to move the fish into storage compartments in the carrier ships. Because there is no need to use shovels on the fish, the fish pump technology allows less handling of fish by the fishing crew.
The pursuit of freshness and food safety, however, does not stop with the fish pump. The freshness of the catch must be preserved during transport to the canning plant. As such, as opposed to the traditional method of using tubs packed with ice, Mega Fishing Corporation uses insulated plastic storage bins to maintain fish temperature at 0 degrees, thereby locking in freshness. In net, the use of the fish pump and insulated plastic storage bins are some of the world class technologies that Mega Fishing Corporation has invested in to bring to the market the freshest sardines possible .
As a further testament to the quest for quality and food safety, Ayala Seafoods Corporation, the canning plant of Mega Sardines, has been certified ISO 22000 - the first sardines manufacturer in the Philippines to be given such a distinction. The ISO 22000 certification recognizes the ability of Ayala Seafoods Corporation to consistently control food safety hazards to ensure that food is safe for human consumption all the time. As such, the ISO 22000 certification ensures that all food products manufactured by Ayala Seafoods Corporation pass strict food safety standards, including the flagship Mega Sardines.

Fed Sees Moderate Economic Growth, Leaves Rates Unchanged (Update 1)
Updated from 3:21 p.m. ET with analyst comment and text of the Fed's latest announcement
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged as it said the labor market is showing signs of improvement and suggested that the economy is returning to moderate economic growth.
The Federal Open Market Committee -- the Fed's policy making wing -- downwardly revised its 2013 real GDP forecast to 2.3% to 2.8% growth from 2.3% to 3% in December, and cut its unemployment rate prediction to 7.3% to 7.5% from 7.4% to 7.7% in December.
"I think there's probably a little bit less angst and panic that we're hearing ... and there's certainly some continued recognition of the challenges that they [the Fed] face," said Erik Davidson, deputy chief investment officer at Wells Fargo Private Bank. "I think they're recognizing the improving labor market, they're recognizing the economy's not doing poorly."TheStreet also broke down the Fed's announcement with FAO Chief Economist Robert Brusca. Below is the text to the FOMC's announcement. Click through here for the Fed's latest economic projection. Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in January suggests a return to moderate economic growth following a pause late last year. Labor market conditions have shown signs of improvement in recent months but the unemployment rate remains elevated. Household spending and business fixed investment advanced, and the housing sector has strengthened further, but fiscal policy has become somewhat more restrictive. Inflation has been running somewhat below the Committee's longer-run objective, apart from temporary variations that largely reflect fluctuations in energy prices. Longer-term inflation expectations have remained stable. Consistent with its statutory mandate, the Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability. The Committee expects that, with appropriate policy accommodation, economic growth will proceed at a moderate pace and the unemployment rate will gradually decline toward levels the Committee judges consistent with its dual mandate. The Committee continues to see downside risks to the economic outlook. The Committee also anticipates that inflation over the medium term likely will run at or below its 2 percent objective. To support a stronger economic recovery and to help ensure that inflation, over time, is at the rate most consistent with its dual mandate, the Committee decided to continue purchasing additional agency mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $40 billion per month and longer-term Treasury securities at a pace of $45 billion per month. The Committee is maintaining its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in agency mortgage-backed securities and of rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction. Taken together, these actions should maintain downward pressure on longer-term interest rates, support mortgage markets, and help to make broader financial conditions more accommodative. The Committee will closely monitor incoming information on economic and financial developments in coming months. The Committee will continue its purchases of Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities, and employ its other policy tools as appropriate, until the outlook for the labor market has improved substantially in a context of price stability. In determining the size, pace, and composition of its asset purchases, the Committee will continue to take appropriate account of the likely efficacy and costs of such purchases as well as the extent of progress toward its economic objectives. To support continued progress toward maximum employment and price stability, the Committee expects that a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy will remain appropriate for a considerable time after the asset purchase program ends and the economic recovery strengthens. In particular, the Committee decided to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent and currently anticipates that this exceptionally low range for the federal funds rate will be appropriate at least as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6-1/2 percent, inflation between one and two years ahead is projected to be no more than a half percentage point above the Committee's 2 percent longer-run goal, and longer-term inflation expectations continue to be well anchored. In determining how long to maintain a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy, the Committee will also consider other information, including additional measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial developments. When the Committee decides to begin to remove policy accommodation, it will take a balanced approach consistent with its longer-run goals of maximum employment and inflation of 2 percent. Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Ben S. Bernanke, Chairman; William C. Dudley, Vice Chairman; James Bullard; Elizabeth A. Duke; Charles L. Evans; Jerome H. Powell; Sarah Bloom Raskin; Eric S. Rosengren; Jeremy C. Stein; Daniel K. Tarullo; and Janet L. Yellen. Voting against the action was Esther L. George, who was concerned that the continued high level of monetary accommodation increased the risks of future economic and financial imbalances and, over time, could cause an increase in long-term inflation expectations. -- Written by Joe Deaux in New York. >Contact by Email.

The Saints' second-round pick of USC OT Charles Brown will only ramp up speculation that they will trade OLT Jammal Brown this offseason or let him walk after 2010.
Saints add even more depth at corner by drafting Robinson
This is the second consecutive year New Orleans has used its first-round pick on a cornerback, and at first glance it doesn't fill any of its needs.
2010 schedule won't thrill Saints
If the NFL draft is Christmas, then the league's schedule release date must be Thanksgiving. Except maybe if you're the Saints.
Saints will host Vikings in regular-season opener
Commissioner Roger Goodell announced during a chat on NFL.com that the Saints will host the Vikings to open the regular season on Thursday, Sept. 9.
Ivory is active for Sunday's game against the Bucs.||||||| Ivory had a hamstring injury.
Ivory is active for the first time this season against San Diego on Sunday night.||||||| Ivory was the Saints' leading rusher in 2010 but the Saints have struggled to find room for him on game day with Pierre Thomas, Darren Sproles and Mark Ingram also in the lineup.
Ivory carried nine times for 23 yards in Saturday's 36-32 postseason loss at San Francisco.||||||| The Saints don't emphasize the run game and it's understandable when you have a superstar like Drew Brees as the signal-caller.
Ivory ran for a season-high 127 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 45-17 rout of Carolina.||||||| Ivory finished up the 2011 campaign and a strong note - and with an impressive showing in the postseason - could carry plenty of fantasy value into 2012.
Saints coach Sean Payton said Ivory had sports hernia surgery in Philadelphia on Friday and that the procedure went well.||||||| Payton said Ivory's recovery from that procedure is expected to take about three weeks. Ivory already was not practicing because he is still rehabilitating his left foot, which he broke in the last regular season game of 2010.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A western Wisconsin military base is taking permit applications for special deer hunt for the disabled on its property.
Fort McCoy will hold its annual hunt on October 5th and October 6th. Permit applications are due at the fort's permit office by September 9th.
Applications are available on the fort's website. Applicants also can obtain them by sending an email to the permit office. Applicants can return them to the office by mail, email or by dropping them off.

No one is going to confuse this current stretch of Boston Bruins games with a playoff series. When the Bruins hit the TD Banknorth Garden ice with the Tampa Bay Lightning, it'll be the third game in a stretch of six of seven contests against teams with losing records.
The Bruins to this point have managed to not let down — prevailing in the first two match-ups at Tampa Bay and Florida. Once their done with the Lightning tonight, they face the Southeast Division-leading Washington Capitals Wednesday, but then go back to the lower third of the league for a home-and-home with Atlanta and a home date with Toronto.
This is new territory for the Bruins — as the team that should prevail and looking down at every opponent in the standings. So how the club responds in the next 10 days could be a view into where the team will be in the months ahead. (more…)

PITTSBURG -- The Pitt State baseball team scored five runs in the seventh inning to rally from a 4-3 deficit and claim an 8-4 victory over Northeastern State Wednesday (Mar. 9) at Al Ortolani Field.
Ryan Reddick singled home Chase Barnes with the go-ahead run for Pitt State (3-4), which snapped a four-game losing streak against the winless Riverhawks (0-16). The Gorillas tacked on three more insurance runs in the frame.
Reddick and Jason Graves paced Pitt State's 12-hit attack with three hits apiece. Brian Dean had a two-run double and Ryan Bilovesky drove in a pair of runs for the Gorillas.
Tyler Link (1-0) earned the win in relief allowing two runs in three innings of work behind starter Caleb Gress.
Pitt State will return to action Saturday (Mar. 12) when the Gorillas open a four-game MIAA series against Nebraska-Omaha. The two teams will meet at 1 p.m. (CST).

I love these jars! I was using the 8 oz mason but some of my customers wanted a jar that was a bit more fancy. These jars fit the bill and the price is right. Even though they hold a little less wax than the masons, I can still get the same price because the jar is nicer. In the long run I am making a better profit because I am using less wax.

FOOTBALL: Banbury ace Knox dies at 77
10:00am Friday 28th December 2012 in Sport
Former Banbury United player Jimmy Knox died on Monday at the age of 77.
Knox played briefly as a professional with Raith Rovers and Coventry City – making two Football League appearances for the Sky Blues – before moving into non-League with Rugby Town, Lockheed Leamington and Corby Town.
He then joined Banbury United, making 47 appearances in the 1968-69 season, mainly in the half-back line.
After one season at Banbury, he returned to Rugby and subsequently managed them and Leamington, guiding the latter to the Conference.
He then took charge at VS Rugby, winning the FA Vase at Wembley in 1983 with victory over Halesowen Town, and taking them into the Southern League and up to the Premier Division.
A minute's silence was held as a mark of respect before Banbury's 3-0 win over Leamington at Spencer Stadium on Boxing Day.

Five Questions
1. How many times will we hear "Former MN Wild draft pick/Local Minnesotan Nick Leddy"?
2. Can the Wild manage to continue their puck possession stats?
3.Could the Wild maybe, kinda, sorta, possibly find a way to stay out of the box? And if they do have to go, could it maybe not be the top penalty killers? PLEASE?
4. Does Dany Heatley light the Hawks up to show maybe he really did have a great game?
5. Do we hear at all about Corey Crawford's "weak glove side"?

Dedication of the Steinberg Wellness Center at LIU Brooklyn
Brooklyn, N.Y. – To honor David J. Steinberg's impressive 27-year legacy as president of Long Island University, LIU Brooklyn's Wellness, Recreation and Athletic Center (WRAC) will be renamed the Steinberg Wellness Center during a dedication ceremony Wednesday, April 24, at 3 p.m. inside the WRAC.
Edward Travaglianti, chairman of LIU's board of trustees, describes the retiring Dr. Steinberg as an academic visionary, whose leadership has been nothing short of transformational. Chairman Travaglianti said. "His core decency, integrity and tireless efforts to positively change the trajectory of our students' lives continue to be an inspiration."
The ninth president of LIU, Dr. Steinberg was appointed April 1, 1985. During his tenure as chief executive, LIU has grown into one of the largest and most comprehensive private universities in the United States. Under his leadership, the University's endowment has increased from $4.8 million to nearly $80 million and its enrollment has risen from 19,000 to over 24,000.
Author of numerous books and articles on Southeast Asia and, in particular, Philippine history, Dr. Steinberg has taught, lectured and written about this important area of the world for a third of a century.
A past chair of the board of trustees for the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities, he serves on the board of directors of One to World, a not-for-profit organization designated by the U.S. Department of State.
LIU Brooklyn is distinguished by…
dynamic curricula reflecting the great urban community it serves. Distinctive programs encompass the arts and media, the natural sciences, business, social policy, urban education, the health professions and pharmacy, and include the Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, the Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics, the D.P.T. in Physical Therapy and the Pharm.D. in Pharmacy. A vibrant urban oasis in downtown Brooklyn, this diverse and thriving campus offers academic excellence, personalized attention, small class size and flexible course schedules. In 2006, a $45-million Wellness, Recreation and Athletic Center was opened to serve the Campus and the surrounding community. In 2007, the Cyber Café was launched, providing a high-tech hot spot for students and faculty members to meet and eat.
