No, not the Cleveland Indians' best player in 2012. Not their most valuable player; that would be Carlos Santana or Jason Kipnis or Shin-Soo Choo, probably. This time, we're trying to spot the player -- good, bad, or ugly -- who best epitomizes the 2012 Cleveland Indians. This was supposed to be a daily feature, but I let the Division Series throw me off my game last week. I hope to catch up by the end of the World Series, but then I hope to do a lot of things...
When looking for the 2012 Cleveland Indian, I first ran through the team's hitters. After all, the Indians finished next-to-last in the American League in scoring, largely because they just didn't have much power. I considered Johnny Damon's miserable comeback, and Matt LaPorta burnishing his résumé as a Quadruple-A hitter.
Blogger Perspective: Let's Go Tribe
by Ryan Richards
Ubaldo Jimenez is one of the symbols of the 2012 Indians, and that's not a good thing. Whatever hopes that Jimenez would help the Indians contend in 2012 were quickly dashed with an awful May (6.75 ERA). But the worst was yet to come, for Jimenez would post a 6.63 ERA over the entirety of the second half (14 starts, 74.2 innings). Even though there were many others who contributed to the Indians' late summer swoon, Jimenez's awful July and August was one of the major drivers of Cleveland's sudden descent from mediocrity into complete ineptness after the All-Star Break.
For more Cleveland Indians coverage, visit Let's Go Tribe.
But then I looked at the pitching. Cleveland's pitchers finished last in the league with a 4.79 ERA. And that was mostly because of their starting pitchers. Cleveland's bullpen actually did fairly well, but the starters' collective ERA was 5.25, better than only the Twins. The Indians' wins leader was Justin Masterson, who won 11 games ... and lost 15. The Indians' best starter was probably Zach McAllister, who went 6-8 in 22 starts (but really did some encouraging things).
One big problem was Derek Lowe, who was just terrible until the Indians finally released him in August. But I think a far better symbol of the Tribe's struggles is Ubaldo Jimenez, who was actually supposed to be pretty good. Instead, he went 9-17 with a 5.40 ERA.
What's worse is that Jimenez showed very little of the talent that convinced the Indians to trade for him just before the trade deadline in 2011.
The only truly good news is that Jimenez, still covered by a long-term contract he signed while pitching for the Rockies, earned only $2.8 million this season and will make just $4.2 million next season. That doesn't mean it's exactly pleasant to have him on the roster. But for $4.2 million, you keep sending him out there every fifth day and hope for five or six decent innings.
What's odd about Jimenez is the deterioration of this strikeout-to-walk ratio. His marks from 2009 through 2012: 2.3, 2.3, 2.1, and 1.5. The explanation isn't so odd, though: Jimenez has lost three or four miles off his fastball in the last two years. He is, sad to say, damaged goods. Oh, and to get Jimenez, the Indians traded two young pitchers who might yet become good major-league starters (although, to be fair, the early returns are not good).

The Vibrant Vineyard worked very nicely with the Italian restaurant (Maggiano's banquets) and the Deep Plum coordinated with the plum dresses the MOH and Best Lady wore. The quality of paper was very nice and the shipping was very quick."
"My fiance and I selected this enclosure card to list accomidation options for our destination wedding in Key West, FL. We ordered the sample in the basil color first and thought it looked great, but decided to change the color to Bay to fit with the rest of the colors we are using for our wedding. The paper that the cards are printed on is a nice heavy card stock and custom color came out looking beautiful!"
"You can personalized every word on this card. You can use it for Directions or Accommodations or Wedding Information, whatever you need it to say. The paper was the perfect card stock and the printing was flawless. The proof process was simple and quick. We received our invitations a week earlier than the original estimate."
"These additional inserts are a nice addition to add to your invites. I decided to place detailed directions for my wedding ceremony and reception. This is a must have to add to your invites. Beside, it comes in handy for your guests when finding you wedding site."

MCX-SX has battled long and hard to start India's third countrywide stock exchange. But many market participants argue that India needs a third equities platform about as much as a car needs a fifth wheel!
They believe that the NSE and the BSE, put together, already offer everything there is to offer in the business of running a bourse. With 6,000 listed companies between them, they already have one of the largest pools of listed stocks in the world. Then, they operate on the state-of-the-art automated trading systems, backed by well-oiled clearing and settlement machinery. This market infrastructure is so efficient that, despite sky-rocketing traffic and volatility, there have been hardly any instances of systemic failure or payment default on the bourses in recent history.
Three-fold objective
While all this is true, great infrastructure, efficient systems and a large universe of listed instruments alone do not make for a thriving marketplace. After all, the primary objective of any stock market is threefold. It should allow new businesses to raise capital to fund their needs. It should facilitate the allocation of capital to the most deserving through fair price discovery. And it should provide liquidity, at all times and at the right price, for investors to buy and sell their holdings.
On these points, Indian stock exchanges cannot claim to have reached the pinnacle of success. Therefore, these are the very areas in which MCX-SX can distinguish itself from the existing bourses.
Challenge #1: Focus on the cash market
Though the NSE and the BSE do a combined business of over Rs 2 lakh crore on any given trading day, over 95 per cent of that daily turnover comes from derivative products. The cash market, where genuine investors buy or sell businesses for their long-term prospects, accounts for a mere 5 per cent of traded volumes. These cash volumes have been steadily dwindling. Between 2009-10 and now, the cash turnover on the exchanges has plunged by nearly 40 per cent.
Despite an expanding universe of stocks, liquidity in the cash market seems to be on a downtrend, too. Ten years ago, about 0.3 per cent of the market cap on the NSE used to change hands on any given day, but now the proportion is 0.15 per cent. Market depth too is suspect, with liquidity restricted to the top 200 stocks. The shrinking cash market is a concern for Indian companies, as this is the only segment of the market in which they can raise capital to fund their expansion or working capital needs.
Now, it may be quite tempting for a new entrant such as MCX-SX to build volumes by launching newer derivative contracts, with hefty incentives. But focusing on a robust cash market may be a better way to build a real stock exchange.
Challenge #2: Widen product menu and investor base
But how can a Johnny-come-lately revive the cash market for stocks?
Well, getting long-term investors interested once again in buying shares is not an easy task. But it can be accomplished through better reach and product innovation.
When the NSE first burst upon the Indian stock market scene in the nineties, it managed to steal the thunder from the entrenched BSE mainly by making equity markets accessible to all. Its electronic platform made sure that access to equities was not confined to a cosy club of brokers in Mumbai.
Today, with retail participation at a low ebb and FIIs dominating the market, the situation is quite similar. MCX, with its experience at building a market for new categories of commodities, may have two advantages — better access to Tier II and Tier III cities, where the equity cult can be spread and equities can be promoted to a captive base of commodity investors.
Product innovation is also a live possibility. Neglected product categories such as debentures and bonds can be revived to attract retail interest. Exchange traded funds (ETFs) tracking new markets (such as the Hang Seng), new asset classes such as silver and real estate, offer promise too. The interest of investors may be spurred by new benchmarks, which track a wider basket of stocks like the Sensex or Nifty or a specialised class of stocks like, say, commodities.
Challenge #3: Raise the bar on regulation
A third factor on which a stock exchange can differentiate itself is by setting a high bar on the quality of companies and members who do business on it.
One aspect of this is surveillance and regulation of trading activity. If manipulation by a coterie of brokers was a key challenge to market integrity in the days of ring trading, it is the tech-savvy algorithmic and high frequency traders who pose such a risk in today's markets. High frequency trades account for 25-30 per cent of trading volumes on the Indian bourses today. Instances such as wild swings on Muhurat-day contract values on the BSE and freak quotes on futures contracts on the NSE, show that monitoring these trades and putting in place checks and balances against them is no easy task.
MCX-SX with its strong technological backing may be well placed to design surveillance systems that match the capabilities of algo traders.
In fact, raising the bar on surveillance could help curb other instances of market manipulation, too. The many instances of blatant price-rigging in IPOs, uncovered by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) just last year, show that, despite electronic trading, Indian markets aren't immune to price manipulation.
Challenge #4: Be more transparent
A final value-add that investors, market participants and policy makers would readily welcome from the new bourse would be easier access to information, whether it is about companies or about market action.
The stock exchanges have access to a treasure-trove of information on the financials, shareholding and material corporate action that companies are mandatorily required to file with them. But access to this information is made quite difficult for investors, due to lack of a user-friendly interface on the Web sites of the existing bourses. Organising this information and presenting it in an easily accessible fashion can, in fact, make the exchange Web site a one-stop-shop for any fundamental investor.
More disclosures on market action, broken down into participants, securities and intermediaries, would always be welcome. But after all the attention that MCX-SX's ownership structure has attracted in its skirmishes with the regulator, one periodic disclosure that the exchange must make is the volume of its business broken down into key trading members.
This is one disclosure that will establish the new exchange's credentials with investors, better than any other measure can.
Great infrastructure, efficient systems and a large universe of listed instruments alone do not make for a thriving marketplace. There are other areas in which MCX-SX can score over the existing bourses.

Natural Man-Made Yurts and Tipis
Welcome to World Tents – the UK's primary source of natural man-made tents and accessories. From yurts and tipis to historical tents and geodesic domes, scout tents, cabin tents, marquees and more, we're committed to using sustainable materials and traditional techniques that allow us to create living and recreational spaces for you to enjoy.
Visit our photo gallery for more great pictures of our tents, marquees, tipis, geodesic domes, scout tents, Cabin tents and yurts.
We offer various material choices with all our yurts, tipis and tents – such as a polyester-mixed covering, though we always prefer to use 100% cotton canvas for its excellent combination of weather resistance and breathability.
Tipis, or Teepees, are one of the simplest forms of canvas dwelling – at their most basic they're a collection of long straight sticks tied together near one end, splayed out at the other, with a covering wrapped around the conical shape. Historically for tipis and yurts, animal skins or bark would be used to provide the outer layer, but this has evolved into using a pliable, versatile canvas cover in cotton or polyester. Tipis are a wonderful tent to spend time in, cool in the summer and warm in the winter with the addition of a stove or open fire. The conical design of the teepee is such that it funnels any smoke from the fire up through the structure, creating a comfortable space suitable for many purposes.
Simple to erect, but offering a majestic living space, tipis and yurts are perfect for a wide variety of purposes, from camping and festivals, to family gatherings or a space for meditation. Put up a tipi at a concert or large get-together and you'll never have problems finding your tent, teepees tend to stand out amongst the crowd.
In contrast to tipis, our Mongolian inspired yurts are a little more complicated in design, offering vertical walls and a sloped roof, complete with a crown cover that can be removed to allow for extra ventilation or some serious stargazing. Yurts offer a feeling of tranquil space, step inside and you'll see what we mean - giving you the perfect ambience for meditation, massage or for any number of workshops. Often used as sacred spaces, yurts have changed very little in design, simply evolving to take advantage of modern canvas and waterproofing methods.
From yurts and teepees to our historical creations for film and TV, we're confident that a tent from the sustainable methods and materials used by World Tents will help you to find new levels of serenity.

The issue is regarding tax return errors related to an educational credit that was filed by customers. The form in question is the 8863.
A statement on the company's Facebook page reads, "As many of you are already aware, some clients who claimed certain education tax credits on Form 8863 have received notices from the IRS. We are in contact with the IRS to clarify the situation. We appreciate this may cause some problems for our clients and we apologize for the frustration it may be causing. We will continue to update clients as more information becomes available."
According to posts by customers on their Facebook page, tax returns have been delayed from 8 weeks to as long as 4 months.
H&R Block released this statement to KWWL Friday evening:
"H&R Block has confirmed with the IRS that there was an issue with certain tax returns filed before February 22, 2013 that included certain education tax credits claimed on Form 8863. We have worked with the IRS to expedite a solution to this issue for all of our affected clients.
If you received this notice requesting additional information for Form 8863 and already responded to the IRS, or have not received a notification to date, there is no additional action needed at this time.
For those clients who have received notification from the IRS and have yet to respond, please call your local H&R Block office or 800-HRBLOCK. The office or customer service agent will be able to better serve you and provide next steps.
H&R Block appreciates that this issue may cause problems for our clients. We will continue to update clients as more information becomes available. We thank clients for their patience while we work with the IRS to expedite the filing process on their behalf."

Fire chief Dean Harbison asked the Cordova City Council last week to consider creating a three-way stop where Adkins Drive meets Massachusetts Avenue near City Hall.
Currently, traffic flows freely along Massachusetts Avenue, which creates a line of vehicles around the old high school in the afternoon.
Harbison said the fire department, which has been housed at the old high school gym for more than a year, had difficulty responding to calls around 3 p.m. because of the traffic jam.
"We can't get out because they can't get out. There's a row of cars from that intersection all the way to Bankhead (Middle School) waiting for their chance to hurry up and get out because they're having to beat that car coming off Gardners Gin," Harbison said.
Visibility is also a problem as drivers check traffic coming from Gardners Gin Road, and the 35 mile per hour speed limit coming into the city is frequently broken.
Harbison said several accidents have occurred in that area in the last few years.
"We've had some serious injuries at that intersection. We're lucky no one has been tossed onto the tracks from there," Harbison said.
Audience members then turned the discussion to the next intersection along Massachusetts Avenue, which has been governed by stops signs for approximately a month since the traffic light malfunctioned.
Local residents said they have almost been involved in accidents in front of Mojos Pizza Place because of other drivers ignoring the stop signs.
Also, there is not enough room for school buses that come down the hill by Cordova Health and Rehabilitation to stop at the sign without being partially on the railroad tracks.
Mayor Drew Gilbert assured citizens that the stop signs at that intersection were only a temporary fix.
"The light went out. The warranty expired in 1973, and we don't have replacement equipment," Gilbert said.
Gilbert said the traffic light near Mojos will eventually be replaced and asked Long Term Recovery manager Steve Ostaseski to explore the three-way stop solution for the school intersection.

Corporate MS Chemistry Program
Obtaining a graduate degree in chemistry while working full-time is often an insurmountable challenge. Balancing courses with work and personal responsibilities is difficult enough, but it is especially difficult to do a thesis on a part-time basis. It has typically been an unrewarding, frustrating experience for faculty and students alike.
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UNCW has worked with local industry to overcome these problems. Graduates of this program are successfully employed in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
Building on this success, we are now extending our program beyond southeastern North Carolina. By tailoring the thesis and through the use of distance learning, graduate students will complete their requirements without traveling to Wilmington. The program is offered only in conjunction with partner companies who nominate valued employees for admission to the program.
There are unique advantages for both the partner company
and the employee/student, including the flexibility obtained by the
use of distance education.
Corporate Partner Advantages
There are a number of advantages that have been shown to companies who offer our program to their employees. These include:
Providing a reward mechanism for valued employees - the company nominates employees for the program
Building camaraderie among the group.
Employees receive graduate training and acquire more skills
- Stimulating collaborations between the employees, their supervisors and UNCW faculty
Improving employee retention
Recruiting tool
CROs can bill at a higher rate
Mechanism to get research done on an area of interest to the company
Company recognition - potential for papers and presentations
Can involve senior technical staff as mentors - some opportunity to give them job growth
Portability- employees transferred employees within the company can still finish their degree from the new location
Employee-Student Advantages
Ability to remain employed full-time while earning a masters degree.
Increased knowledge and skills enable greater job responsibility and satisfaction
Program flexibility allows balancing demands of personal life, job, and school.
Portability- if transferred within the company can still finish the degree from the new location.
Distance Learning Advantages
- More time flexibility. Not the standard MWF at 6:00 p.m. course so if work or personal demands interfere can cover the course material at another time.
- Can set your own pace, based upon your experience and background. If familiar with a topic, can quickly move through that section of the course. Conversely, can spend more time on a topic if it is unfamiliar or difficult.
- Portability- can take the course anywhere with internet access: at work, home or while traveling.
A Typical Program
- 2 credits for CHM 595(seminar)
- 2 credits for CHM 501(Intro to Research)
- 5 credits for CHM 599 (thesis)
- Remaining 21 credits from seven 3-credit courses
On-line 3-credit Courses
- Advanced Analytical Chemistry
- Advanced Biochemistry
- Advanced Inorganic Chemistry
- Advanced Physical Chemistry
- Advanced Organic Chemistry
- Computational Chemistry
- Industrial and Polymer Chemistry

The state's trying to save more lives quicker than ever. They want to add another life-line by implementing a broadband service for first responders to share information.
"We've got the ability to communicate on a day to day basis," said Mississippi Emergency Management Director Robert Latham. "It's just that the data network gives us the capability that we don't have right now."
But now there's a problem. The state and the feds can't agree on how to move forward with the project. Mississippi's already spent 45 million in grant money to buy the equipment and install some of it.
"Need to make sure that the data is as mobile as the individual is and that's true for the first responders that we can access the information on the scene without having to relay back to a central point," explained Latham who is also the Executive Director of the Mississippi Wireless Communication Commission.
Some of the bare bones of the system are already in place. The state installed a radio system after Hurricane Katrina that can be accessed across the state. Still, the state would need federal funds to make broadband transfers happen. That's why the state's Wireless Communication Commission has a message for the feds.
"The system you're building out nationally will have to reside on our towers which we paid for and invested in. So the operations and maintenance that are recurring, you should pay a part of," said Latham.
The state doesn't know how long it could be before an agreement is reached. State leaders say they've done their part now they want to see the feds put its money where its mouth is.

Commissioners approved a grant application for federal funding that will allow the airport's apron to be rehabilitated. The total funding being requested in the grant is $663,000. The majority of the funds would be federal ($596,700), while the county and state would be responsible for $33,150 each.
David Edgil, the county's engineer, said the apron rehabilitation is a project the county has wanted to do for several years, but local funds had to be built up before it could move forward.
"We have the matching funds now and are ready to move forward," Edgil sad.
Commissioners also approved a low-bid for the airport project, which came from Good Hope Contracting for $553,035.32. Edgil said the grant application has already been pre-approved, which allowed for the bid to be accepted. The more than $100,000 difference in the bid and the grant funds will go to fees associated with engineering and inspection, Edgil added.
The project will include the breaking down of two to three inches of pavement on the top of the apron, which will be followed by a new overlay of pavement. Edgil said the airport isn't in dire need for the project, but it is needed. "It's not in terrible shape right now, but it's something that needs to be done to keep it from getting to that point," he said.
Edgil said construction on the project should start in the fall.
In other action from the meeting, the commission:
•Approved a standard resolution project with the Alabama Department of Transportation for a project to replace a bridge on Highway 269 over an Alabama Power railroad and Baker Creek.
•Approved a surfacing project on the New Oakman Highway.
•Approved an airport lease for Nethery Investments.
•Approved a contract with ARISTA for a print and mailout system in the Walker County Revenue Commissioner's Office.
•Approved a contract with S & W MiniComputers to provide an upgrade to a Windows-based property system for the revenue commissioner's office.

2007 Mooning Twins Invitational by TigerShu - about 7 years ago
"The 6th Annual Mooning Twins Invitational Miniature Golf Tournament at Sportsmans Park in Skokie, IL. For the first time ever, we decided to get t-shirts for our event and went with CustomInk. The shirts rocked - great quality and the logos really popped. We went with the Hanes Beefy Ts and people complimented me on the logo design and font, which was easy to do with the CustomInk clip art. Shout out to the winner of the 2007 tournament - Michael "King Putt" Hagedorn - two years in a row!"

ORONO, Maine — A total of 15,560 visitors registered at the Orono Bog Boardwalk in 2003, according to Director Ronald Davis, more than double the expectations of the facility's management committee. The board closed for the season on December 1 and will reopen in May.
"The boardwalk has become a major outdoor recreation destination in the Bangor area. It has attracted people from more than 15 other states and 15 foreign countries," says Davis.
Boardwalk success, he adds, is due to the work of many volunteers and the Maine Conservation Corps as well as the diversity of plant life and different environments in the bog. "It is a quiet and beautiful place, and it can be a great learning experience," says Davis who is also a University of Maine biologist.
The mile-long boardwalk starts off the East Trail in the Bangor City Forest and continues on University of Maine land in Orono. To guide visitors through the bog, signs have been placed along the boardwalk, and a 16-page guidebook is available. It features facts about the boardwalk and the bog, as well as colored photographs of plants and flowers.
This past year, many Bangor area organizations arranged for free, expert guided walks at the boardwalk. They included senior citizen clubs, rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes, garden clubs and students. This program will be continued in 2004, and guided walks can be scheduled by contacting Davis (866-4786 before 8:30 p.m.) at least a month in advance. The boardwalk is wheelchair accessible.
In addition, an expanded series of guided Saturday morning nature walks will be planned. In 2003, they focused on bog ecology, birds and their habitats, wetland destruction and conservation, bog plant life, peat bogs for kids and water flows in the bog and its environmental implications.
The boardwalk is a public service of its sponsors: the University of Maine, Orono Land Trust, and City of Bangor. A fund raising campaign is currently underway to establish an endowment for boardwalk maintenance.

I tend to be overwhelmed when looking through fabric books, and was trying to find something to go with a specific color. Several months ago I looked at another place without finding just the right thing, and decided to put off looking for a while. When I went to The fabric itself was somewhat expensive, but I believe worth the price The quote for labor was somewhat less than the first place I looked, and I was really impressed at the turnaround time. They picked the sofa on a Friday, and called on Monday, 10 days later to say it was ready for delivery. The workmanship was great! Needless to say I am most happy that I went there.

From start to finish, unequivocally, the hands-down BEST experience working with any service provider I have had living in Miami Beach for the last 23 years. At the risk of gushing effusive praise, can I state that this company should be a country-wide model for all small businesses across the USA? My initial contact was with ,(enthusiastic, professional, and downright charming) who helped guide and instruct me on the best options available with cost-savings in mind, in addition to making the sofa look great. I had previously obtained two quotes from other upholsterers and was doubtful I was going to find a reasonable quote for reupholstering a sofa I had paid $4000 for four short years prior. Both quotes (Calico Corners and iDesign) were significantly higher than

I had inherited these two old, well made, super comfy chairs that I loved but they were just really ugly. I was going to get rid of them, and buy new chairs and after shopping for weeks I realized that I couldn't find anything that was nearly as comfortable and well made that wasn't going to cost just as much money, if not more, than if I just had my old, comfy favorite chairs recovered. So I found

The only disappointment (albeit slight) was with the fabric selected. The sample book had the fabric running on the horizontal, and that's what I wanted and expected. However, the loveseats were recovered with the fabric on the vertical. When questioned, the explanation that the fabric had a 'nap' that required it be run on the vertical made sense but then the sample book should have been on the vertical or it should have been pointed out prior to final decision of fabric as

Hi, everyone. I'm new to the outdoor sport-climbing world and am planning a trip to Foster Falls in March. What is the policy at the anchors at Foster Falls? Rappel down or get belayed down through the chains? My first instinct would be to rappel down and save the hardware, but I read somewhere (don't remember where) that rappelling was prohibited. Can anyone share insight?
This post violated Rule #1. It has been removed by Mountain Project.
yup, Alex is right on. rodeo flip for more style points.
Great, thanks for your extremely helpful responses.
Jeremy, Best to rap to reduce wear on the anchors. Im pretty sure that rappelling is fine when done in conjunction with technical climbing. It's been a while since I've been to Fosters, but I've never seen, nor heard of, anyone having issues. Any rappelling ban is meant to prohibit sport rappellers from setting anchors on trees and rapping down on climbers. Fosters is a great place to climb. Have fun!
There are a bunch of threads where rapping vs. lowering on sport climbs is discussed. In sport areas, the anchors are generally set up for you to lower off your own draws, then the last person clips in, and while still on belay, gets slack and threads the rope, re-ties (or clips a bite ) and gets lowered while cleaning the draws, saving the rapping for when the anchors are set back (to save wear on your rope). If the anchors are not beefy, then rap, especially if they are aluminum rings. Aluminum rings are trash and should never be lowered on. Generally, rapping off sport routes creates more negatives than the wear on the anchors caused by the last person lowering off.
You will find out that lots of people on this site break rule #1: Don't be a jerk. People often forget that when they first started they probably had lots of questions that some would find dumb. Keep asking and ignore the jerks. Id rather ask a question that some might find dumb rather than get hurt or in trouble. Keep climbing man.
Thanks, Jon. I know what you mean, and a few jerks aren't going to kill my taste for climbing. It is funny how these jerks don't understand my question, or assume that I eat to spark a debate on this well-discussed topic. The crux of my question involved reading that rappelling was off limits at foster falls. I am aware of the debate and best practices of lowering and rappelling, but the rappel ban confused me. Now I know that it refers to rappelling from the top of a cliff before climbing because someone could be climbing up. Thanks for (mostly) everyone's insights.
Hi Jeremy. The Dixie Craggers Atlas is a great guide for foster. Please toprope from your own draws anywhere you go. When cleaning, please rappel from the anchors on your doubled rope. I've seen park rangers at the Obed lowering through the rings at Lilly Bluff; shame on them. Honestly, once or twice won't hurt but you should get in the habit of not letting the rope wear the fixed gear. Hope this is helpful. :) Sprague, I don't agree that being lowered through the rings is beneficial. Rapping is better because there is no movement of the rope over sharp edges and the rings, causing less wear on the rope. I don't see how rapping could wear your rope more than lowering. Matter of opinion, but maybe you can defend your preference.
Should you rap? Probably...should everyone? Probably. Does anyone? Nope. The honest truth is that rarely anyone brings an atc to the crag anymore....grigri's are becoming the standard for belaying. Hang your gear on the anchors for TR'ing and lower through rings when done. No one is going to get you in trouble if you choose to rap when finished. You'll be in the minority for sure...but that may be a good thing?
Having done my share of anchor replacement, I would say that generally speaking, once a route gets steep (generally mid/hard .11, but not always), lowering is the safest, best way to clean a route. Generally speaking, most crags i've been too are set up this way- rap rings on the lower angle stuff, carabiners, shuts, mussys, etc, etc, on the steep stuff. There's always exceptions to the rule, of course, but i'd say in general, thats how i approach sport climbing. We put mussys on stuff we know people are going to lower off of, rings on rappel worthy climbs.
If any of you egotistical assholes had any respect for the condition of fixed gear you'd down climb every time. Shame on you all

By Steven Suskin
09 Feb 2014
Dr. Seuss wrote his children's classic of the same title back in 1957, directly following "The Cat in the Hat." The book was made into a 27-minute animated television special in 1966, which due to annual holiday showings, became something of a small screen classic. A stage version — with a new score by Mel Marvin and Timothy Mason supplementing two songs from the TV special — premiered at the Children's Theatre of Milwaukee in 1995. Jack O'Brien, then artistic director of The Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, staged the show for the holidays in 1998. It instantly became one of the Old Globe's biggest hits, with repeat visits.
The outsized San Diego success convinced producers to bring the show to Broadway in 2007. O'Brien, who in the interim had directed Hairspray and other major hits, was at this point directing Tom Stoppard's three-part The Coast of Utopia and therefore unavailable. Thus, the show was entrusted to an assistant — and I would suggest that a major cause of the lack of magic in the Broadway Grinch was O'Brien's absence.
The CD serves as a reminder of the show's failings. There is a big difference between exuberant family entertainment (like Annie, Oliver! or A Christmas Story) and unengaging children's theatre. The Grinch falls in the latter category; while Seuss's original book is delightfully subversive, the musical falls flat.
The cast album starts out bright and snappy, thanks to Michael Starobin's overture. In fact, the orchestrations and the dance arrangements (by David Krane) continually perk things up, but there is little that can be done with the nursery school-like songs. (The lyrics, be they by Mason or originals from the Seuss tome, are of the "nifties"/"gifties" and "singing"/"tingalinging" variety.)
The one bright spot, musically, is the sinisterly slippery "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch," one of the two surviving songs from the TV special. This comes from composer Albert Hague (of Plain and Fancy and Redhead) and lyricist Seuss, and it is a little jewel. But there is not much that Page, Cullum and the others can do with the rest of the score, which leads one to wonder why anyone thought to put such time, effort and money to record this show six years after the Broadway opening.
(Steven Suskin is author of "Show Tunes," "The Sound of Broadway Music: A Book of Orchestrators and Orchestrations," "Second Act Trouble," the "Opening Night on Broadway" book and "The Book of Mormon: The Testament of a Broadway Musical."

Per RotoworldSpeaking about the Steelers' 2012 running game, GM Kevin Colbert said "that group of players didn't produce the way we anticipated they would.""Where we were in running game last year was indicative in the talent at the position," Colbert said. Where the Steelers were was 26th in the league with 96.1 yards rushing per game. A running back corps "led" by Rashard Mendenhall, Jonathan Dwyer and Ike Redman wheezed to 3.7 yards per carry (tied for 29th). Impending free agent Mendenhall is fully expected to walk.So how would you all feel about him in a rotational role with Doug? He was a good back at Illinois and before this year was pretty decent in Pitt.I'd love to hear people's thoughts, and other ideas on upcoming FA's that could fill that role.

At the airport, there are many opportunities for passengers to become victims of crime. Anywhere from the parking lot to pickpockets in and around the terminal on the curb. We've even seen passenger-on-passenger theft at the security check point, or in a terminal restroom.
Airport police say "opportunity theft" is the most common occurrence at the airport.
Sergeant Belinda Nettles says, "An opportunity theft is when someone within the traveling public sees an item that another passenger left behind, and as opposed to turning it in to the officials, they keep the item."
There are strategies you can follow to avoid becoming a victim.
"The best advice I can give every traveler is be aware of your valuables. Know where they are at all times," says Nico Melded. "If you're coming to the airport, put them in one place. Don't separate them, don't put them in an unobserved bin, don't put them in your checked bag. Keep them with you as much as possible. And when they go through the X-ray belt, put them in your brief case, put them in your purse so they're all in one place. Too often we see people put all of their items in so many different bins, they don't even keep track of them when they go through. They don't even remember what they put through the X-ray. And it's left at the check point to be stolen, or to be lost and lost forever."
One thing that passengers can do is label their items. In the event they misplace them, then the officials will know how to contact them to return their items.
Nettles says you should be especially careful in high-traffic areas.
"The common areas where thefts may occur are in the open. They're in the seating areas. They're in the bathrooms. They're in the food court. And that's mainly because that's where the bulk of the people are, and that's where the opportunity is," she explains.
One of the riskiest things you can do at the airport is to fall asleep - which is not always easy to avoid if you're on a long trip.
"If you're feeling drowsy at the airport, try to stay awake. If you fall asleep, it opens up an opportunity for someone to take your item," says Nettles.
The bottom line: Even though our airports are well-protected by multiple layers of TSA and police personnel, don't assume you and your belongings are safe.
"The best thing to do is to keep an eye on your stuff and be smart with it," Nettle concludes.
And if you do see something, say something. Contact airport police or flag down a uniformed airport employee and they will take the appropriate action.

It is always a refreshing when the justice system uses common sense.
Case in point: a Federal Court judge rejected the Canadian Arab Federation's challenge that the Conservative government unfairly cut off funding to the organization.
Normally, you'd think such an organization would easily gain the favour of the court and the by giving immigrants instruction on language. Most would agree this is a good thing and aids in a multicultural society, but the federation also had some unpleasant links that would go against the very idea of such a society.
In fact, Arab organization officials, according to the judge, appeared to be anti-Semitic and supportive of the actions of terrorist organizations, notions that most Canadian taxpayers wouldn't want to support with their money.
There were several instances the judge brought up that led to Ottawa's decision to cut off funding.
One was a leaflet forwarded by group's president in 2006 attacking Liberal leadership candidate Bob Rae for supporting "Israeli Apartheid" and singling out his wife, who is active in the Canadian Jewish Congress. In another deplorable incident brought up by the judge, a federation gala honoured Zafar Bangash, who had referred to Canadians as infidels in the past and "reported on the Sept. 11 attacks in a way that was unsympathetic to the victims."
The judge's decision to dismiss the case sends a clear message that the company you keep is a good enough reason to cut off government funding if it's deemed such company espouses hateful views.
The Canadian Arab Federation still has every opportunity to promote its questionable viewpoints. The good news for Canadians is it can't do it on the public dime.

Once again, Stevens County voters rejected a plan to raise the Stevens County Library District's levy rate to 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation.
In preliminary primary election results, voters overwhelmingly rejected the plan 5,332-3,635. A simple majority of yes votes was needed for passage.
Library district officials had hoped that the restored levy rate would augment the shrinking annual operating budget.
• In the only other primary election race, Deer Park School Board incumbent Jeff Whittle easily outpolled his two challenger.
Motor vehicle violations led to the arrest of a 40-year-old Elk man on Aug. 14 for possession of a stolen motor vehicle.
Spokane County Sheriff's Deputy Jeff Shover was patrolling the area of 37000 North Newport Highway about noon when he spotted a Toyota pickup that had an obscured license plate, broken windshield and no mud flaps. He stopped the truck and identified the driver as James E. White.
Deer Park football fans will get a look at the new high school track although the peek may not happen at the Stags' Sept. 9 season football opener.
Steve Howard, the school district's maintenance supervisor, does not expect the work to be completed until the end of September or early October.
Beynon Atlas, a Tarkett Sports Co., headquartered in Portland, Ore., started work on the new track this summer. The company has removed the existing track, which was laid in 1980 (the year the high school was built) and resurfaced in 1998.
No services are planned for former area resident Everett E. Williams, 82, who passed away on Aug. 9 in Spokane.
Born on Nov. 21, 1928, to the late Edward and Minnie (Wallace) Williams in Darlington, Idaho, he moved often growing up and therefore attended many schools, but graduated from Deer Park High School in 1947. After high school he joined the Air Force, where he also took college classes.
He later became the manager of Sprouse Reitz stores in the Hillyard and Garland locations before moving to Colville to manage the Sprouse Reitz there.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Aug. 19 at the Cheney United Methodist Church with a luncheon to follow for former Chattaroy Elementary School teacher Irene Rufer, 92, who passed away Aug. 8 in Spokane.
Born on Sept. 4, 1918, in Hillsboro, Ore., to Jacob and Flora (Wright) Rufer, she attended schools in Holbrook and Silverton, Ore. She attended high school in Spangle, Wash.
She continued her education at Eastern Washington University where she received her bachelor's degree in education and later received her master's degree.
Starting on Sept. 1, the base cost of most Washington hunting and fishing licenses will increase. It is the first general recreational license fee increase in more than a decade.
The 2011 Legislature approved the new fees to help meet rising costs and a shortfall in revenue for managing hunting, fishing and the fish and wildlife populations that are the focus of those activities.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 a.m. on Aug. 12 at St. Peter's Parish, 3520 18th St., Spokane, followed by graveside services at Fairmount Memorial Park, Spokane, for former Washington Brick and Lime Co. supervisor John Talarico, 97, who passed away on Aug. 6.
Born on Dec. 10, 1913, in Spokane, he worked for Washington Brick & Lime in Clayton for 40 years and held a variety of positions from forklift operator to superintendent. His inventions were very much appreciated at the plant.
The Deer Park Airport's $2.33 million "ramp rehabilitation" project received a new lease on life when the U.S. Senate on Friday approved legislation ending the two-week-old Federal Aviation Administration partial shutdown.
The ramp rehab project, which included new runway edge and beacon lighting and a new fuel disbursement system, was put on hold when the Senate refused to pass a House-approved bill before going on a month-long summer break.
The city had hired Kilgore Construction Co. in July with a 90-day window to complete the project.
Funeral services were Aug. 9 at the Church of the Nazarene in Deer Park, with the Rev. Ron Molina officiating, for Deer Park resident Aurora L. Dizmang, who passed away on Aug. 5 in Spokane.
Born in 1917 in Cleveland, Ga., she was a high school graduate and a longtime owner and operator of a custom drapery business.
She was a member of the Church of the Nazarene.
Her husband, Frank Dizmang, and a son, John Bryan, predeceased her.
Ramona Cline, 97, a very, very longtime resident of the Twin Mountain/Williams Valley area of Deer Park entered into rest on Friday, Aug. 5, 2011, due to a fall and broken hip on her 97th birthday.
She was born on Aug. 2, 1914, at Freeport, Kan., to Royal and Bertha Russell.

Kate Strachan has high blood pressure and cholesterol putting her at risk for a heart attack.
The 42-year-old is doing what she can to control her risk factors including watching what she eats.
"Reducing sodium in particular, looking at packaging, checking the salt levels things that really surprise you."
Now new study shows adding some berries to her diet could also help lower her chances of having a heart attack. Harvard researchers followed about 100,000 women for nearly 20 years and found those who ate several servings of blueberries and strawberries every week lowered their chances of a heart attack 32%.
"Eating blueberries or strawberries more than three times a week reduced the risk," says Dr. Mary Ann McLaughlin of Mount Sinai Medical Center.
Blueberries and strawberries have high levels of a natural compound called flavonoids.. which can also be found in grapes and wine, eggplant and other fruits and vegetables.
"This class of food helps dilate the arteries and reduce inflammation in the arteries, therefore reducing heart attack rates."
Kate has been trying to eat more fruits and vegetables and is planning on adding more blueberries and strawberries now. "It's definitely something that will be easier to work into the diet."
She's also getting more exercise, walking to work every day to keep her heart healthy.
The researchers say that blueberries and strawberries were part of this study because they are the most eaten berries in the United States.
So, it's possible that other foods could have the same effect.

The McNeese State baseball team concluded fall practice with its annual intrasquad fall world series over the weekend, which resulted in the Bandits sweeping the series over the Blue Bombers."This team has done a good job of continuing to improve from day one," said head coach Justin Hill. "We have a great group of high-character, hard-working guys who make it fun to come to work everyday. We have a lot of competition in quite a few spots both on the mound and offensively. There are still quite a few spots to be won before we play our first game, so the remainder of our fall, semester break, and our pre-season practice will be very important for our team."The Blue Bombers took game one, 6-5, in extra innings, which was highlighted by a Jackson Gooch walk-off single. The blue squad clinched the series after defeating the Bandits, 5-3, in game two. The Bombers were also able to rally in the seventh inning to take game three on another walk-off win, 2-1."I really liked how our team wrapped up the fall," said Hill. "We had three very competitive games in our Fall World Series. We are still in the process of getting a few guys healthy, especially on the mound, so our work throughout the remainder of the fall will focus mainly on the individual needs of our players with a few team activities mixed in. We will continue to lift and condition as a team up until a week before final exams. In addition to our players' academic and athletic responsibilities, they will also be active in the community throughout the remainder of the fall semester."McNeese opens the season with a three-game home series against Chicago State at Cowboy Diamond on Friday, Feb. 14.

MARSEILLES, Ill. -- Severe flood damage from April has the school district's superintendent seeking retribution and compensation.
Marseilles Elementary school district 150 has filed a lawsuit against Ingram Barge Company.
The school wants to hold the company responsible for $6.4 million in damages that occurred when 7 barges crashed into the Illinois River lock and dam on April 18th.
School Superintendent JoEllen Fuller says it's only right to seek compensation from the barge company.
"We're a small community, we're a small school," Fuller said. "We just want to hold who is accountable responsible. We don't have a lot of finances available and we just want to make it okay."
Ingram filed for protection in May, requesting to be restricted to the value of the towboat and the barges, or $4.2 million.
But Fuller says that amount will not even cover the school damages let alone the homeowners that have been displaced.
"Some of my employees homes were affected and I know what they had to go through and come on. 4.2 is not enough," Fuller said.
The flood took out several classrooms in the school, a music room, and the entire gymnasium.
Fuller says the gym alone is estimated at $250,000 worth of damage.
"We're trying to take care of the kids who are now homeless and have lost everything. There's just so much that we have to stop and think about," she said.
One of the biggest losses in the building was the cafeteria.
Out of the 630 pre-k through 8th grade students nearly 70% depend on the school for breakfast and lunch.
Classes begin on August 21st and Fuller says for the next six weeks the cafeteria will be the number one priority.

Rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamin A, salmon is a fatty, flavorful fish that ranks among the
most popular in the United States.
Season: Pacific variety, spring through fall.
How to Choose Salmon
Pick salmon that's evenly colored and doesn't smell fishy; it should smell like the ocean. The smartest option is wild Alaskan salmon, which dwell in relatively pristine waters and consume a diverse, healthy diet. Atlantic salmon are endangered in the wild, so only farmed are sold here. They are typically raised in tight pens and given antibiotics to reduce the spread of disease; they are also fed large quantities of fish meal, which often contains PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and other carcinogens. Supermarkets are required to label fresh and frozen fish with the country of origin and the method of production (wild or farmed), but this law doesn't apply to fish markets and restaurants, so consumers must ask more questions in those places.
How to Store Salmon
Refrigerate salmon tightly wrapped for up to 2 days. Freezing salmon will result in a mushy texture once thawed.
—Jenny Rosenstrach

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - With the game tied at 57 with 3:27 left to play, the Whitman women's basketball team unleashed an 11-2 scoring spurt and polished off a 68-62 victory over George Fox Saturday night in Sherwood Center to claim a share of the Northwest Conference championship -- its first title since the 1987-88 season.
Winning 12 of its last 13 games, Whitman finished with a 19-6 regular season record and a 13-3 mark in the NWC, good enough for a first-place tie with Puget Sound.
Whitman's good fortune turned sour soon after the game's conclusion, when Puget Sound won a coin toss to claim the NWC's automatic berth to the NCAA Div. III playoffs. The coin toss was conducted by the NWC Commissioner's office in a telephone conference call involving the athletic directors from both schools.
Puget Sound earned its share of the NWC title by winning 66-55 at Linfield Saturday evening.
The NCAA Div. III playoffs, which begin Wednesday, start with a field of 50 teams. Whitman was eligible for one of six at-large berths available to conference runner-ups from around the country. On Sunday, however, a national selection committee passed over Whitman in filling the at-large spots (click here for a news release on the NCAA selection process).
In Saturday's game, first-year forward Sarah Laird scored 15 points, hitting four of eight 3-point shots, to power Whitman's offense. Sophomore Lizzy Washburn, also a forward, added 12 points, 10 rebounds and four assists before fouling out with 25 seconds left in the game. Sophomore guard Laura Vertatschitsch contributed 11 points five boards and four assists.
Katie Patneaude, another member of Whitman's talented first-year class, just missed a double-double, scoring nine points to go with eight rebounds. Sophomore Megan Higgins and first-year player Shea Morrissey scored eight and six points, respectively, off the Missionary bench.
Trailing 30-29 at halftime, George Fox scored the first two points of the second half to take only its second lead of the night. Whitman responded with a 13-5 scoring spree to regain control. After Laird hit a 3-pointer to spark the run, Patneaude and Vertatschitsch tallied six points apiece to put the Missionaries in front 43-34 with 14:14 left to play.
A few minutes later, Laird nailed another trey that led to a 52-40 Whitman lead at the 8:32 mark. George Fox refused to go quietly into the night, outscoring the Missionaries 17-5 to pull even at 57-all with 3:27 remaining. After Denise Kirstein, one of two seniors on the Whitman roster, hit one of two free throws, Vertatschitsch drained a 3-pointer from the top of the key. Washburn then scored off an offensive rebound with 56 seconds left to give the Missionaries a 63-57 cushion.
Free throws, five by George Fox and four by Whitman, finished the night's scoring.
Whitman jumped in front early in the first half, grabbing a 20-9 lead after eight minutes of play. Laird and Washburn tallied 16 of the first 20 Missionary points. George Fox closed out the half on a 6-2 roll to trail 30-29 at intermission.
The Whitman women's team, picked in one preseason poll to finish last this season, set school records for most wins in a season (19), most consecutive wins (nine), and highest winning percentage (.760).
When the Whitman women's basketball program celebrated its last title in 1988, the Northwest Conference was known as the Northwest Conference of Independent Colleges and included just six schools, three less than is the case now.
The 1988 championship team, coached by John Wilcox, finished with records of 15-10 and 8-2. The senior co-captains that year were Cathy Crosslin, who returned to coach the Missionaries from 1996 through 2000, and Susan Hubbard Sakamoto, who was named last year to Whitman's Athletic Hall of Fame.
In the years preceding and following the 1987-88 championship season, Whitman was affiliated with the NAIA at the national level. For that one season, however, the Missionaries were affiliated with NCAA Div. III and did not receive a berth in the NCAA playoffs. The reason, Coach Wilcox said at the time, was that Whitman lost three of four games to NCAA Div. III schools during an early January trip to southern California.
Whitman and other members of the Northwest Conference shifted their affiliation back to NCAA Div. III in the mid-1990s.
Other members of Whitman's 1987-88 title team, in addition to Hubbard and Crosslin, were Julie Slocum, Anne McDonnell, Wendy Kimmel, Roseanne Hall, Keri Hall, Debby Richter, Kellee Magnuson, Susan Hatchett, Heather Brownell and Rene Brulotte.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.
