GREENCASTLE — South Putnam defeated Cascade 42-0 on its Senior Night on Friday, as the Cadets lost their second consecutive game to finish the regular season at 5-4.
Cascade won the opening toss and elected to receive. The Cadets went three-and-out, as South Put's night-long defensive dominance ensued.
"We feel like the strength of our football team is up front (defensively)," South Put coach Tony Burgess said. "Our four guys up front did a really good job. I thought our linebackers really played downhill well tonight."
Burgess said his defensive coordinator had a "great game plan," focusing on Cascade running back Zac Butler. South Put limited Butler to 25 yards on 18 carries, including 24 yards on 15 totes in the first half.
"One thing we really stressed this week is, 'Let's keep him pinned in, let's don't let him get on the edges,'" Burgess said. "When we gets to the secondary, not many guys are going to catch him. He's very talented. I was very proud of our kids and the effort they did to focus on where he was and try to keep him contained."
On South Put's first possession, Cascade's defensive line sustained a blow when senior defensive lineman Chance Webb suffered a left leg injury. The 6-foot, 340-pounder did not return.
"It's huge," said Cascade coach Jason Thompson. "He's a senior that's played a lot of football games. He's a big kid. He does a good job of stuffing the middle. It's tough to replace a big kid like that."
Thompson said the Cadets faced one of Indiana's best running backs regardless of class in junior Lucas Lorian, who rushed for 252 yards on 18 carries. He scored the game's first two touchdowns, 52 and 86 yards, respectively.
"He's quick and strong," Thompson said. "If you don't have a secure tackle, he's going to run through you. He's going to score. That's a credit to those guys. They did a great job up front and he's a good back. They're going to make a run."
Lorian's second touchdown came one play after Cascade quarterback Sawyer Donovan threw his first interception. From his 14-yard line, Lorian broke a few tackles and ran down the right sideline for a score.
Cascade trailed 14-0, and the rout was on. It was the Cadets' first shutout loss since Week 8 of last season.
Cascade (5-4) will travel to Cloverdale (1-8) for next week's sectional opener. The Cadets won the teams' Sept. 20 meeting, 48-19.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

I remember as a youngster skimming across a large flat one morning in the northern Bahamas looking for bonefish. On plane, my boat could fly in only about 8 inches of water. I pulled back the throttle and stopped in a hole so as not to hit bottom with my engine. But the tide was ebbing quickly, and the flat was large enough that I couldn't pole off before it went dry. I sat there awaiting the next tide for a very long time rather than dig up the bottom to make my escape.
Fly over any location in the Florida Keys just once and you'll see scars left by boat propellers along the fragile bottom. Yes, many flats- (and bay-) skiff operators get pretty cocky about how shallow they can run. I cringe each time I see a recreational boater drop anchor on top of a patch reef. And then there are the flats-skiff owners who think that just pushing the throttle forward and trimming up prevents them from destroying turtle grass. How can you avoid adding to this problem? Consider one or more of the four P's.
1. Power
Obviously, the higher on the transom you can run the engine, the farther away from the bottom the propeller will rise. Taken to its extreme, that means mounting an outboard on an adjustable jack plate, pushing a low-deadrise, tunnel-hull boat with trim tabs.
Though more horsepower might get you on plane quicker, the added weight of a heavier engine can also drag the stern down. And when poling your way off a flat, that same weight can be a strain.
Remember too that trolling motors use propellers that can dig up the earth beneath your hull. Always be sure to raise the shaft of your trolling motor so the lower unit travels well above the bottom and any vegetation.
Finally, it's probably not just the bottom you destroy when you see all that mud behind your boat. The engine's cooling system sucks in that mud, sand, grit and those shell bits, all of which can absolutely damage that expensive bit of iron hanging on the transom.
2. Planing
The two most potentially bottom-damaging scenarios for a shallow-water skiff are running at speed across a flat and getting up on plane from a dead stop in shallow water. As you advance the throttle from a stop, the bow rises and the stern squats, lowering the spinning prop toward the bottom. When you see the cloud of mud/sand/grass billow behind your boat as you do this, you've already done damage.
The best solution is to pole your way off the flat into deeper water, where you can throttle up with impunity or try one of two other methods. In one method, angle your trim tabs and engine all the way down. If you have a jack plate, raise it. You might even have your passenger(s) move to the bow to keep the stern higher in the water. Then push the throttle forward. Your boat should suffer little or no bow rise using this method.
The other method is called spinning up. Turn your steering wheel hard over (usually to port is the more effective side, because it utilizes the propeller's natural torque to help turn). Push the throttle forward. The propeller pushes the stern up and away from the bottom when turned like this. As you build up speed, you can then straighten out, and you'll be on plane. Usually about 180 degrees is sufficiently far to turn, and by all means, always warn your passengers prior to any radical maneuver like this! They'll want to hold on tightly.

We've talked about Testdroid a few times here at AP. There's a good reason for that: it simplifies developers' lives and essentially automates the testing process by running their application or game on over 280 real Android devices (so it's not a virtualized environment). While the service itself aims to make devs' lives easier, Testdroid realized that the pay-as-you-go payment option simply wasn't working for most users. Why? Because problems happen.
Back in July, we took a look at Testdroid, a service that allows developers to test their application or game on over 250 different actual devices. This isn't an emulation service – every single test is performed on real Android-powered devices, which in turn exposes real problems. Some of the biggest names in the book are using Testdroid these days – Facebook, Swiftkey, Rovio, Pinterest, Paypal, and many others – so it's only natural that the company step up its game to keep customers happy.
The life of a mobile application developer is a tedious one – they're not only responsible for building apps but also ensuring they work on as many of the 900 million Google-certified Android devices that have been activated over the last five years as possible. Of course, Android OS versions start to die out over time, and new versions – along with new handsets – emerge, making this a never-ending cycle of test-update-test-update.

After a quiet weekend, we look ahead for some potential strategies in upcoming races:
- First up—just a few weeks away, in fact—is the special election in NY-20. Stuart Rothenberg considers the longer-term implications about the national parties' involvement with this race. The DCCC, for their part, air a new ad.
- Arlen Specter, facing new pressure thanks to his primary battle with Rep. Pat Toomey, may have to decide soon to run as an independent, an strategy that is earning mixed reviews for its effectiveness.
- Newt Gingrich's potential 2012 campaign gets a rundown on a Post blog. (Newt recently became the latest to take on Rush's anti-Obama statements.)
And as Republicans try and sort out what sort of coalition to build, one writer suggests they may be able to appeal to rural and suburban voters who may be put out by the urbanity of Obama's associates.

Tarquinia, Church Santa Maria di Castello
wikipedia: Tarquinia, formerly Corneto and in Antiquity Tarquinii, is an ancient city in the province of Viterbo, Lazio, Italy.
Church of Santa Maria di Castello (1121-1208), with Lombard and Cosmatesque influences. The façade has a small bell-tower and three entrances. The interior has a nave and two aisles, divided by massive pilasters with palaeo-Christian capitals and friezes. Noteworthy are also the rose-window in the nave and the several marble works by Roman masters

The name "Italy" is shrouded in mystery; some etymologists trace it to a Greek word meaning "the land of young cattle."
Italy was fond of Jupiter and Mars from the very start, Jupiter for fatherly good luck and Mars for war!
But it all began with Rome. Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus who were sons of Rhea and Mars.
The twins were abandoned at birth out of a fear that they would grow up and later overthrow Amelius, usurper of their grandfather's rightful throne.
Wrongful mis-doings most foul! Treachery and sabotage!! HOW would these two blessed infants make their way in such a world?
As it turns out, the twins didn't have to make their way very far, because one of them killed the other one and then they weren't twins anymore. But that happens later.
First they got rescued by a she-wolf who suckled them with her milk and raised them as her own until they were discovered by the shepherd Faustulus.
Faustulus fed them meat and bread and also raised them as his own until they were old enough to return to Amelius and hack him up as planned. They reinstated the grandfather Numitor to his rightful throne and went off to celebrate by starting a town of their own.
They chose a hilly area where the mama wolf had saved them from certain death in the barren wilderness and began scouting locations.
Romulus liked one hill. Remus liked another. The circle of crows like Romulus' hill, so Romulus killed Remus and named the town after himself. Thus Rome was born and Italy with it.

An Evening With Danny & Ben From Thunderstars, from 2 Fan reports
Leeds - Leeds City Variety
Excellent entertainers from jinich, 05/02/13Danny and Ben from Thunder were excellent entertainers who had a superb rapport between them. Great audience interaction, they were really well rehearsed, very funny, bounced well off each other and the songs were excellent too. Dannys daughter Lucy joined them for the encore and she has inherited her dads talent alright- great singer! Altogether a lovely evenings entertainment with a difference. thouroughly enjoyed it and hope they do another sometime.
Manchester - Manchester Academy 2
Im hooked! from Astrojill, 22/01/13Ill be honest, I only booked this cos I liked the sound of their ad on Planet Rock. I couldnt say I knew any of Thunders music. I had a great time - the banter was great, and the venue wasnt too big, so it had a nice, friendly atmosphere. I wish, I wish Id known about the meet and greet - I wouldve had my name down there like a shot. We were three rows back (behind cowbell guy) and my only huff was that the seats were not comfortable.

A little self-analysis from Allan Roth:
I'd like to offer you a glimpse into my profession that, hopefully,
will help you recognize what to watch out for and what
well-intentioned financial advisors may do to you. This isn't a
story about fraud; it's a story about being human.

Dear cumulus,
I've interacted with several FAs.
In general most of them are required to pass a few standard exams adminstered by FINRA. Such exams are generally idenfied by a Series number. The exams and preparation material is rather heavyly focused on "traditional" theories. With chaging times and innovations often times it is necessarify to learn much more in real-life.
Quite a few FAs falls behind in terms of how up-to-date their knowledge is.
Quite a few FAs are so very set in what they learned that simply cannot grasp anything that lies outside of the theory.
Another limitation/hurdle FAs have is the "compliance departments" of their employers. The rules/policies are that are generally good-identioed, become a sort of straight-jacket that prevent them to do anything "out-side the box".
My opinion is that it is rather easy to analyze the market, and it is quite straightforward to understand various products offered by the FAs, as the disclosure requirements make a large volume of data available. to the clients. Doing once's
due diligence to double/triple check the recommendations
by the FAs before actiing upon them, perhaps is essential to one's financial well being!
Yours Truly,

Here's your soundtrack. Okay, maybe they're not exactly brazillian but their music is awesome and their live shows legendary.
Now, Brazil covers almost half of South America and its Amazon rainforest is the world's largest jungle... which is rapidly getting cut down. The country is basically one giant botanical garden with some bangin' cities on its edges.
Brazil was colonized in 1808 by the royal court of Portugal, which was fleeing Napolean's troops. They didn't stay long, and Brazil won its independence in 1822.
Its biggest city, Sao Paulo, is the financial hub of South America. Brazil is the "b" in BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, India and China. These four were labeled the world's fastest developing large economies in the year 2001.
Brazil is known for three things: amazingly beautiful women, carnival, and Pele -- King of Football, Athlete of the Century, football ambassador of the world and a declared national treasure.
Brazillians can tell foreigners a mile away, by the way their hips move. Samba is built into the soul of brazil and carnival is when it bursts out into twenty-four hour undying explosions of sound on every street.
This picture of mask diving at the Taipus reefs makes me shed hot and salty tears all over my calendar, which is set on "January" right now.

An excellent lightweight match-up has been announced for the UFC On Versus 5 fight card. Jim Miller, coming off a dominant win over Kamal Shalorus at UFC 128, will face Ben Henderson, who notched a win in his UFC debut over grappling standout Mark Bocek. Of all places, The Asbury Park Press has the scoop:
The Whippany-based mixed martial artist is expected to face former World Extreme Cagefighting champion Ben Henderson, sources close to the UFC confirmed to New Jersey Press Media late Tuesday.
The bout is scheduled for "UFC on Versus 5" on Aug. 14 at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wis.
Thus far, here's the known fight card for UFC on Versus 5:
Duane Ludwig vs. Amir Sadollah
Cole Miller vs. T.J. O'Brien
Stephan Bonnar vs. Karlos Vemola
Jim Miller vs. Ben Henderson
Without knowing what UFC brass will do, it's conceivable the winner of this fight could earn a title shot against either the winner of Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard or a title shot-eliminator against the winner of Anthony Pettis vs. Clay Guida.

i2b2 – Cohort Discovery
What is i2b2?
The i2b2 Cohort Discovery tool is a self-service tool that allows you to determine if there is a cohort of patients in our clinical data repository that meets your criteria of interest. The i2b2 web client provides a "drag‐and‐drop" interface for selecting query criteria. The University of Minnesota's instance of i2b2 is a customization of an open-source tool developed by Partners HealthCare System in Boston, MA with NIH funding. i2b2 is rapidly becoming the de-facto standard for cohort identification and hypothesis generation at research centers across the US and abroad. (Read more about i2b2 in our Background page and at the i2b2.org site.)
The Data
A complete description of the data source for i2b2 at the U of M, is provided on our Data Description page.
Search criteria at the U of M include patient demographics, diagnoses (ICD9 codes), procedures (ICD9 and CPT codes), and dates and locations of clinical visits. In response to a query, i2b2 returns the approximate number of patients matching the criteria you have entered. The data searched is from the electronic medical records of patients seen at Fairview hospitals and clinics and University of Minnesota Physician's hospital-based clinics. Outpatient data is available for visits starting from 1993 and 2005 for Fairview and UMP clinics, respectively. Hospital data is available starting from 2005.
Getting Started
Before you can begin using i2b2 you have to be added to the list of active users. Please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject "i2b2 access request" and your x.500 in the body of the email. We will do our best to activate your access within 48 hours of receiving your request (and usually much sooner than that).
Once your account has been activated, you will login to i2b2 with your x.500 at https://i2b2.ahc.umn.edu/webclient/.
Step-by-step instructions to help you get started are provided in our customized User Guide.
Note that experienced users will also benefit from the guide as it provides tips for using advanced i2b2 features. As the U of M's i2b2 tool is upgraded, the guide will be updated accordingly.

With so much of the talk during ST revolving around rising stars, I thought the time was ripe for another Prospect Smackdown. And where better to focus than first base, with 3 teams in the NL East nearly ready to graduate young first base prospects, all of whom are big, athletic lefties with similar profiles, figuring to anchor their respective lineups for years to come. As usual, I'll try to be as impartial as possible here.
Prospect Smackdown: Ike Davis vs. Freddie Freeman vs. Logan Morrison
Davis: The son of former Yankee reliever Ron Davis, Ike Davis was drafted 18th overall by the Mets back in 2008 and signed for $1.575M. This came after a decorated career at Arizona State which included Freshman of the Year, All-Pac 10 & All-American honors and an ASU Team MVP award over fellow Sun Devil Brett Wallace; he was also the first freshman to ever lead the illustrious Pac-10 in RBI's and served as a middle of the order presence (as well as closer) during two National Championship runs. Ike is known as a hard worker who exudes confidence and is driven to live up to his bloodlines.
Freeman: Frederick Freeman was a second round draftee (78th overall) by the Braves in 2007, signing for just over $400K. Freeman was a highly touted high school player out of SoCal, committing to college baseball powerhouse Cal State-Fullerton before being drafted. He dropped in the draft a bit due to concerns about an 'aloof' approach to the game. Much like Davis, Freeman was known to play at first and corner OF and even pitched out of the 'pen. Also like Davis, he is now well-regarded for his work ethic and drive.
Morrison: Logan Morrison was selected back in the 2005 draft by the Marlins in the (believe it or not) 22nd round (666th overall). However, the explanation is that Morrison, while a strong high school player out of Louisiana, was not particularly high on national draft boards. The Marlins selected him as part of the now defunct Draft-and Follow process and Morrison went on to star at Maplewood Community College (Albert's alma mater) then signed for $225K. Morrison is also known for his solid makeup and good work ethic and, like Davis, is an extremely confident player.
ADVANTAGE: You really can't go wrong here, they're all hard workers, praised for their good makeup. I guess you give a nod to the Marlins for saving a ton of dough by effectively utilizing the DFE process but as far as the players go this one has got to be even.
Davis: Ike is 6'4", 215lbs, a lefty thrower and hitter, born on March 22, 1987. His best tool is his raw power as witnessed in this recent ST slam; his smooth uppercut stroke (view below) affords him light-tower power. On the flipside, it can get long, leading to a lot of strikeouts and he doesn't often drive the ball to the opposite field. Davis' other plus tool is his arm strength; as the ASU closer Ike worked in the low 90's. He possesses a projectable frame but is thought of by scouts as more of a baseball player than a raw athlete due to his below average footspeed. Though needing more consistency, Davis is considered a natural at first with the potential for plus defense. Davis' only major injury came in '07 when he was forced to undergo wrist surgery to remove bone chips.
Freeman: Freeman is listed at 6'5", 220lbs (though Mike Newman, of the invaluable Scouting the Sally thinks more like 6'2"-6'3"). He's a lefty hitter and righty thrower and he was born on September 12, 1989. Freeman's best tool is his raw hitting ability. He possesses a superb mixture of contact, developing power and strong plate discipline which combined with his compact stroke (view below) leads to far fewer strikeouts than most power hitters. At 20, Freeman has a big frame with the potential for more strength as he matures, though he will never be mistaken for a speedster. Like Davis, he possesses a power arm, hitting 90+mph on the mound in HS. He is an average defender at first and while he's been mostly healthy, Freeman was slowed by a nagging wrist injury during the '09 season.
Morrison: Morrison is 6'4" (I've also seen 6'2"), 245lbs, a lefty thrower and hitter, born on August 25, 1987. Depending who you ask, Morrison's top tool is either his tremendous plate disciple, his potentially plus power or his excellent raw hitting ability. Though a little long, Morrison has a nice level, line drive cut (view below) which explains his tremendous 20% LD rate between '08-'09 (compared to 17% for Davis & 15% for Freeman) and allows him to drive the ball to all fields. What's more, Morrison accumulated nearly 20 more walks than strikeouts in '09, showcasing his superb on-base skills. Bulkier than the other two, Morrison is not known for his defensive range at first nor in the OF, though he also has a very strong arm and his hands have reportedly gotten a lot better since he was drafted. Morrison has been very healthy but was sidelined early in '09 after suffering a fracture in his wrist. Noticing a trend here?
ADVANTAGE: Davis is probably the best athlete and fielder of the bunch with the most raw power but Morrison has stronger pure hitting skills and far better plate discipline. Freeman is a mixture of both so I think he gets the nod here.
Davis: Ike started his pro career in '08 with a strange stint in the NY-Penn League where he went homerless in 215 ab's. He still drove the ball exceptionally well (18.5% LD rate vs. 17.3% in '09) but needed to get that FB rate up. Fortunately he did just that in '09 jumping from 34% flyballs in '08 to 43% in '09 which led to 19 hrs, while batting a robust .309 in his first taste of AA and following that with a stellar performance (.341/.394/.565) in the highly competitive AFL. On the negative side, he struck out 112 times which when coupled with only 61 walks gives cause to worry about his AVG and OBP as he moves up the ladder. Add in his poor platoon split for the trifecta (only .242/.301/.371 against lefties in '09) and suddenly there's cause for some concern.
Freeman: Freeman answered pre-draft concerns about his "energy for the game" by holding his own in the GCL at 17, then bursting onto the scene in full-season ball in '08. Freeman mashed 18 hr's while batting .316 and set the Rome Braves single season hits record. His '09 wasn't so explosive as mid-summer wrist problems sapped his power (.405 SLG vs .524 in '08) but he continued to cut his impressive strikeout total to only 60 vs. 37 walks. Freeman also improved his performance against lefties in '09, with a difference of just .003 points in his OPS splits. He will need to prove that it was mostly the wrist, not advanced competition, that slowed him in AA (as well as the AFL).
Morrison: After an uninspiring pro debut in '06, Morrison too burst into full-season baseball, blasting 23 homers in '07 and exhibiting the ability to drive the ball to all fields (view below). He followed with another impressive performance in '08 where he hit 13 hrs in the pitcher-friendly FSL and batted .332 with a very strong K:BB ratio. Last season, he improved even more in that regard posting a very impressive 63 walks to only 46 strikeouts. However, Morrison's power numbers took a step back in '09 as he slugged only .442 with 8 hrs. Many feel, like Freeman, he too was a victim of wrist woes however, some worry that his consistently low FB rates (33% career vs. Freeman's 38% and Davis' 40%) coupled with high GB rates point to a 15-20 hr hitter, not a 30+ hr stud. He too has had big problems with lefties to this point.
Advantage: You can't punish Freeman and Morrison who both had nagging injuries holding them back, but ultimately Davis put on a far more impressive overall performance in the ever important Double-A litmus test so I have to give him the edge here.
Davis: John Sickels (of the excellent SB Nation Minor League Ball Blog) called him "Lyle Overbay with an excellent glove." I suppose that's a pretty good middle ground comp, though I think that's shortchanging his power a bit. I'd say his absolute ceiling is a great fielder, very good power, lots of K's and low AVG, basically a Carlos Pena-lite type player. Worst case, he can't hit lefties at all and strikeouts kill him: Mike Jacobs.
Freeman: At age 20 you've got to figure he's got more room to develop. So to me, his ceiling is along the same trail that Joey Votto is blazing: 25-30 hrs, .300+ AVG, nearly .400 OBP, equal batting splits and solid defense at first. He'll have to work on taking some more walks but it could definitely happen. More pessimistic, his power stalls out and he's a lefty version of Conor Jackson.
Morrison: His bat looks real, his plate discipline is impressive, It all depends on how you view his power. He clearly drives the ball to all fields better than the other two but will that equate to homers or a lot of doubles in the left center gap? If he develops like Marlins fans think, his ceiling looks a lot like Justin Morneau however, if you're more worried about those low FB rates (as I am) his ceiling is more like an 18-24hr guy in the majors who hits for excellent average, think Sean Casey. If the HR power of '07 doesn't ever reappear, then think James Loney.
Advantage: This really depends what you're looking for: Davis seems to be closest to reaching his potential which eliminates some risk however, he definitely has the biggest flaws. I'd say Morrison's underlying skills are a pretty sure thing to translate in the long run while Freeman's realistic ceiling is higher. If all goes right for Morrison he may challenge that idea but to me Freeman's greater plausability for improvement due to age clinches it.
|2009 Cumulative Stats
|Davis (A+/AA)
|Freeman (A+/AA)
|Morrison (AA)
Let's go to the Prospect Rankings: In their most recent Top 100 BA sees Morrison ahead at #20, Freeman at #32 and Ike at #62. Though all are ranked at 65 on the 20-80 scouting scale.
Prospect Guru John Sickels rates Morrison as a B+ and attributes the power slippage to his injury. Ditto Freddie Freeman but he raises development concerns. He gives Ike a B but says he sees more "solid regular than future star".
BP/Kevin Goldstein's Future Shock list interestingly places Morrison and Freeman at #51 and #52 respectively, Davis at #87.
If I'm starting an organization today and I need to pick a cornerstone first baseman, I take Freddie Freeman. And my main determining factor is age. They've all put up impressive performances at a high level, each exhibits differing yet very valuable skills and it's very interesting all of the similarities linking the three. But the biggest variation to me is the fact that Freeman has 2 more years to develop beyond Davis and Morrison yet he is already at or near their same levels of performance. Next I'd probably take Morrison for his superior raw hitting skills but IMO Davis' seemingly large defensive advantage as well as the fact that currently he looks closer to being major league-ready makes this much closer than the above rankings portray. The funny thing is that this comparison is close enough that any of these guys could easily end up as the best or worst of the three. However it shakes out, it should be a lot of fun to watch these three guys graduate into the NL East in the next year or so.

La Sportiva Baruntse
4-star: 0
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
I love these boots !! I've had a pair of La Sportiva…
Materials: Hybrid plastic materials
Use: Mountaineering
Break-in Period: Didn't seem to be one
Weight: 5 pounds
Price Paid: $480 on sale at EMS
I love these boots !! I've had a pair of La Sportiva Evo's for a while and really liked the way they fit. So I retired my Koflachs and sprung for the Baruntses.
Now, the first thing everyone asks is why I didn't just get the top of the line Spantiks form La Sportiva. The well dressed mountaineer is wearing the Spantik for 2010 from what I can see. I tried on the Spantiks and they fit great - - BUT - - I wasn't sold on the high tech lacing system, and had read some reviews about broken eyelets.
Turns out the Baruntse from what I can see is technically about the same insulation construction as the Spantik, but with a traditional lacing system.
My feet are on the wide side (EE) plus my left foot is one size larger than my right, so the game for me is to find a boot that I can dial in the fit with lacing, liner molding and some shims. The Baruntse worked out great for that.
The liners are very good and use the Spantik style lacing system - - a zig-zag laceup that finishes with a Velcro tie down tab that sticks to the top of the boot. Here the new high tech laceup is really useful - - it's very fast to lace them up and they snug down very well. You can lace them quickly with a gloved hand, then step into the boot. The heat molding works very well - - I did it myself using my oven at home according to the enclosed directions.
I've had them out in the field since September when I wore them for a summit of Mt. Rainier. Since then I've been out on a number of winter hikes and used them so far for one ice climbing session.
For hiking and general mountaineering they are very good - - easy to walk with on non-snow surfaces because the sole is a little narrower than my old Koflach Arctis Expes and because it has a nice rocker built into it (that doesn't go so far as to bend my crampons). I've been very warm in them to the extent I had to modify my sock layering and go to a lighter sock weight to avoid getting sweated, even for very cold weather. I've used them down to minus 10 and they were fine!!
For ice climbing I'd rate them as good. I'm comparing this to my Evos which I've been used to for some time and are of course outstanding for ice, which is principally what the Evo's are designed for. On climbs and expeditions, the Baruntse will do very well for steep ice and mixed sections and are really a perfect choice for multi-day trips that the Evo's don't travel well on.
As usual, when I was shopping for these I had to do the familiar epoch around trying on multiple sizes. I'd 'recommend not relying on your current boots to predict sizing on the Baruntses. Instead, I suggest trying on two sizes higher and two sizes lower than your current plastic or hybrid boot size, and try to predict any additional fit advantage you would get from heat molding the liner. This is especially difficult these days with all but the most mountaineering specific retailers selling mail order only.
If you are in that situation, I'd recommend ordering three sizes at once - - one size up and one size down from your current boot size. Throw it on the credit card and try them on as soon as you get them and pick the best fit. My recommendation for this approach is order from REI or EMS for store pick up, so there's no shipping charge, go to the store and try on the boots there, and immediately return the two that don't fit. With the standard shipping speed for these types of orders, it should basically cost nothing to order these multiple sets.
So to summarize:
1. Great boots
2. Watch for the pre-season or end of season sales if you can afford to wait
3. Get the sizing ABSOLUTELY right - - you'll have these boots for 20 years or more !

October 4, 2013
By Christine HamiltonThe American Quarter Horse Journal
View larger slideshow with photo captions
Mia Eichenberger of Cody, Wyoming, and Secure Kid, with Alicia Buckle and Mia's husband, Bob.
Mia Eichenberger of Cody, Wyoming, bought her first halter horse in March: Secure Kid, a 2004 mare by Securitee Acres and out of Justa Kid Clue by Kid Clu. It was something to do while her all-around horse needed time off to recover from a recurring injury.
"I've loved halter since I was a kid. It was the first class I ever won, in 4-H with my old barrel horse," she said. "I've always loved the fitting, the grooming and the conditioning."
So she set about fitting and training "Kitty" to show AQHA.
Her husband, Bob, built a stall into a lean-to behind their house and hung lights inside. Mia exercised the mare, riding a 4-wheeler and leading her on the bar ditches around their property. She groomed and fed and changed the mare's sheets and blankets and worried that she just didn't know what she was doing.
"Of course, I used to think it was easy," she added, rolling her eyes.
But everywhere she showed, the judges tended to like Kitty.
"I showed her in Montana this year," Mia said. "She won the (state) year-end (award) for amateur aged mares and the open. The only grand (championship) we didn't get was from one judge at the Region Two (Championship)."
She got a lot of encouragement. AQHA Professional Horseman and judge Margo Ball and her brother, Tom, (of Fort Collins, Colorado) encouraged her and offered advice at shows, answering questions over the phone. She met Darren and Alicia Buckle of Buckle Performance Horses in Moorhead, Minnesota, at the Region Two and they offered advice.
"With my all-around horse, I kind of bring in my showmanship background, and I get to really moving and that gets that mare's feet moving," Mia said. "(Darren and Alicia) jumped in and helped me a ton."
Mia purchased Kitty from Bob and Peggy Migliori of Price, Utah. Kitty had been a broodmare for the Miglioris that they decided to start showing. Their granddaughter, Harley Ann, won the halter champion of champions with her at the 2012 SmartPak AQHA West Novice Championship. Bob encouraged Mia to take the mare to the 2013 West Novice Championship.
But she almost didn't do it.
"It was a lot of urging from (Bob) and from Tom and Margo Ball, the people in (Montana Quarter Horse Association) and my husband," Mia said. "I was sick and I didn't feel good, I didn't think my horse looked good; I never think she looks good enough.
"It wasn't about getting beat, it was the pressure that she had won last year and I felt, I didn't want to disappoint anyone. (Kitty was in) a new place, a big change in environment, a change from being in a show barn to being in my backyard."
But she came. And Mia and Kitty won the Novice amateur championship in aged mares, and came back in to win the reserve champion of champions.
"I never imagined this," she told The American Quarter Horse Journal. "It's proof that you can, if you work hard enough, you can get a halter horse put together in your backyard. You can do it!
"I always thought a good halter horse needs climate control and all these fancy things. What they need is exercise, good feed and a lot of grooming.
"She's a cool horse," she continued. "She hadn't been shown a lot, she was a broodmare, and she makes you do it right. She's all business, and she makes you stand up there and show her. She has taught me a lot, so hopefully when I do get another horse, I'll have elevated my skills."
Because now Mia is fully hooked on halter.
For now, Kitty will have a break until spring. Mia's husband, Bob, is planning to break ground on a small barn at their place in November, and Mia will continue running the books for his oil and gas consulting business. But she's already thinking about the possibility of breeding Kitty.
"I feel like I've been blessed by her," she said. "I'm going to keep showing her, I might try the (All American Quarter Horse) Congress and the (AQHA World Championship Show).
"I have a pretty nice animal to work with, but I wouldn't want anyone to think they couldn't have a halter horse because they don't have top-notch facilities or a trainer. The halter has been the most positive environment. The people (I have met) have been the most supportive and willing to help with information.
"I've found a passion for it," Mia added. "I love it. It's something that anyone can do. I didn't think I could do it, and Margo Ball said, 'Absolutely you can. It just takes hard work. You have to work harder than other people do.' "

Dear sir,
I read this sentence in the grammar book ' I can't imagine Peter going by bike'.
So I try to make other sentences such as ' I can't imagine him going by bike' and transform to ' I can't imagine me going by bike'.
Are these sentences are correct? I induced the Peter as an objective so changed to him and me.
I am waiting for your kind answer.
Thank you.
David Lee.
Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
Thank you for your reply.
Now I got a clear idea of the sentences.

Hello my name is Chris and I also became a Red fan this season
I currently live in Wisconsin but will be moving to Arkansas at the end of July. How does a Badger become a Red it is simple I met a bunch of Mad Englishmen on Xbox live(I tend to play during the day) most of them live in Sheffield or Liverpool so you know how it is your mates follow Liverpool so follow Liverpool. Thanks to the FSC and ESPN I was able to see almost every game this year and also a number Europa games. This is my first year of following the Beautiful game I have never played it in real life. But thanks to Fifa11 I actually have a pretty good understanding of the game now.
Watching the Reds rebound under King Kenny was one of the best times I have had as a sports fan and this is coming from a Packer fan who has seen two Super Bowl wins in his lifetime.
One of the coolest things I have had happen in my short time as a Red fan was I was wearing my Liverpool ball cap in the Orlando airport and all of a sudden up walks a guy wearing the White Away kit we look at each other and stuck out our hands shook and traded "You Never Walk Alone" as our wives looked on like we were nuts. That moment I understood what YNWA really meant
Looking forward to August and the new season
