On Thursday, President Barack Obama signed into law the defense bill, which included the Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act! Formerly known as the Pancreatic Cancer Research & Education Act, this bill will require the National Cancer Institute to develop a plan, or scientific framework, for pancreatic cancer research. The passage of this bill into law represents an unprecedented milestone in the history of pancreatic cancer. For the first time, there is a law dedicated to putting a greater focus on pancreatic cancer and other similarly deadly cancers. This achievement would not have been possible without the incredible dedication and passion of so many South Lake Tahoe and Tahoe Basin residents.On behalf of the thousands who have lost the battle, and on behalf of the survivors such as Stuart Jed, four-year survivor of Stage IV Pancreatic cancer, great thanks to each and every one of you for your dedication and support in helping to make this a reality. Each and every single time you made a phone call, sent an email, spoke to your congressman or senator, addressed a City Council meeting on the subject, or updated your Facebook status on this issue, you were an important part of making this day a reality. Congratulations on a job well done, and thank you so much for all of your support! Virginia Jed Northern Nevada/Lake Tahoe Community RepresentativePancreatic Cancer Action Network

Your Turn, NH: Who would really benefit from repeal of stand-your-ground?
At the time, Gov. Lynch expressed concerns that drug dealers would murder each other and the police would be unable to prosecute them under the law. Others with more of a flair for the dramatic cried there would be blood in the streets. Those concerns have proved to be unfounded over the past year and a half as the people of New Hampshire have quietly gone about their business, avoiding trouble whenever possible, with many knowing that they are much less likely to become a victim of violent crime.
Senior citizens, women and others the violent criminal sees through his predator eyes as weaker and defenseless are no longer forced to endure beating, robbery and worse. They now have the right to use deadly force in self-defense.
That right is now under attack in New Hampshire because of a bill introduced by Rep. Steve Shurtleff, Democrat from Penacook. Rep Shurtleff's reason for repeal is "because something tragic might happen."
More scare tactics with little substance. Further, opponents of the stand-your-ground law have said you would not be able to sue if you were shot as an innocent bystander. But negligent discharge of a weapon is still a crime, and if you cause harm to an innocent bystander you can and likely will go to prison.
On the civil side, the courts interpret the law, so claims of exemption are nothing more than a gross exaggeration. So what is really behind the attempted repeal of stand-your-ground? As with most things political, follow the money.
Who will benefit from the repeal? With stand-your-ground, there are two protections afforded to the law-abiding citizen: the right of self-defense wherever you have the right to be, and freedom from civil suit if you are forced to defend yourself against a threat to your life.
If this law is reversed and you are confronted by a criminal while out of your home with no way for you to flee and are forced to use deadly force to save your own life, then you will first have to be judged by the police and prosecuting attorneys as to your justification. You will need an attorney to guide you through the process. It is likely a grand jury will be summoned.
Because you had no alternative but to defend yourself, then you will probably not be further criminally prosecuted. However, your real trial is just beginning as you are certain to be sued civilly by the criminal or the relatives of the criminal. The absolute best result you can expect is attorney's fees running into six figures. The worst result from the entire process is incarceration with total financial ruin and bankruptcy. Follow the money.
What the repeal bill does is throw New Hampshire citizens under the bus to the benefit of the trial lawyers. Indirectly some of the money it cost you because you were forced to defend yourself works its way back in the form of campaign contributions to those who took away your right of self-defense. Leave stand-your-ground alone and the people of New Hampshire will go about their business and walk the streets as citizens, not as potential victims.

By STEVE ROTHWELL AP Business Writer
Publication: The Day
New York - Investors sent Washington a reminder Friday that Wall Street is a power player in talks to avoid the "fiscal cliff."
Stocks fell sharply after House Republicans called off a vote on tax rates and left federal budget talks in disarray 10 days before sweeping tax increases and government spending cuts are scheduled to take effect.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost as much as 189 points before closing down 120.88 points, or 0.9 percent, at 13,190.84. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 13.54 points to 1,430.15. The Nasdaq composite index declined 29.38 to 3,021.01.
The House bill would have raised taxes on Americans making at least $1 million per year and locked in decade-old tax cuts for Americans making less. Taxes will rise for almost all Americans on Jan. 1 unless Congress acts.
House Speaker John Boehner had presented what he called "Plan B" while he negotiated with the White House on avoiding the sweeping tax increases and spending cuts, a combination known as the fiscal cliff.
But Boehner scrapped a vote on the bill Thursday night after it became clear that it did not have enough support in the Republican-led House to secure passage. He called on the White House and the Democratic-led Senate to work something out.
The market's decline demonstrated that investors' nerves are raw as they await a resolution.
"Where we are today, the market would be satisfied with the announcement of a stopgap measure," said Quincy Krosby, a market strategist at Prudential Financial. "The more the clock ticks, the more the market is saying, "Just give us something."'
Sal Arnuk, a partner at Themis Trading, suggested that the sharp drop in stocks early in the day might have been an overreaction. The Dow was down as much as 189 points, and before the market opened, stock futures suggested a decline of 200 points or more.
"It's not a surprise that they weren't able to come to an agreement," he said. I don't think most of Wall Street anticipated that they would come to an agreement."
Other markets registered their concern, but the reaction was not extreme. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell 0.04 percentage point to 1.76 percent.
The price of gold, which some investors buy when fear overtakes the market, climbed, but only by 0.9 percent. Gold rose $14.20 to $1,660.10 an ounce.

4/5 rDev -1%
I poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a SA perfect pint glass, jet black with a thin tan head. The aroma is what you would expect from a smoked beer, lots of smoke. Up front lots of smoke and bacon, some sweetness, and it finishes with more smoke. The body is medium/full and it has average carbonation. Pretty typical smoked beer, if you like smoke, you will like this one.

Poured into a tulip glass black with a one finger dark tan head. Good retention and lacing all the way down the glass. The scent isn't too strong, but it has all the basic Baltic notes. The taste is about the same, all the basic baltic notes. What makes this a little better than just average is the solid mouthfeel and perfect carbonation. The acidic feeling is rather strong. It also has a warming feeling from the alcohol content that otherwise is not detectable.

Poured in tulip
A: Jet black, very low amount of light brown head. Noticeably low carbonation.
S: Molasses. Wonder aroma. The nose could have been a bit stronger, but as the beer warmed up, the roasted and smoky aromas were front and center.
T: Great balance between coffee, smoke, and the malt. Really enjoyable. Glad to taste the smoky-ness.
M: Great full bodied mouth feel to it. A bit acidic, but nothing over whelming. This is a satisfying porter.
D: Easy drinking Porter, with a great flavors. The 7.80 ABV does not stand out, but was appreciated.
Overall: Great Porter. Up against Bells Porter, Edmund Fitz Porter, Sierra Nevada Porter, and Founders Porter, it holds its own. I would probably purchase this over the Bells Porter, due to the slightly higher ABV.

12oz bottle poured into duvel tulip
A: very dark. looks like a cup of black coffee. virtually no head, no lacing.
S: sweet black licorice and dark chocolate.
T: tastes about how it smells. not quite as sweet as i guessed from the aroma alone. fairly bitter on the back end. pretty well balanced.
M: seems a little thin. very little carbonation.
D: pretty easy to drink but then its a fairly mild brew.
overall, pretty average. decent tasting beer but a little thin for my personal taste and just not too interesting.
02-03-2011 04:07:47 | More by PhatAtUT
3.4/5 rDev -15.8%
Appearance: Pours thick and black looking with a small head of tan bubbles after a pretty aggressive pour. The head faded while I was typing my notes, so it was gone within 20 seconds or so. The beer looks a bit like coffee sitting in my glass with no foam or anything.
Aroma: OK, now the aroma is stepping up a bit. I can definitely get the roasty notes you expect from a Porter with the coffee, dark cocoa, burnt toffee, etc. The smoke is definitely there and is becoming much more noticeable as the beer sits some and warms up. There are some hops noticeable in here too, but they are mostly floral...they too get more noticeable as the beer warms up.
Taste: The flavor has some strong coffee notes along with the smoke, but overall the flavor is coming across with a coffee balance to it. I am also getting dark cocoa and chocolate along with a spiciness that I believe is both from the hops as well as the alcohol, but they are playing pretty nice together. There is some bitterness, but the beer finishes with the balance toward the malt. This is a good thing as all of the dark grains are rather acidic on the palate, so they are contributing their own challenge to any sweetness left to linger. The beer is medium bodied with low carbonation. The alcohol lightens things up some, but with the lack of carbonation, you don't really notice the part of the profile between the initial flavor and the finish. The middle is missing, how odd...
Opinion: Well, this is an OK beer, but unfortunately it fell short from what I would call an "outstanding" beer for this style. I guess the fact that it is a baltic porter makes it fit in a bit more, but it still doesn't really seem to showcase either one flavor or the overall blend of flavors. The way this beer is, it has some really assertive notes and not a lot of backbone to back those up, so they end up out of balance and hanging on your palate waiting for something. Even a while after my sip, when I swallow I can pick up the coffee and cocoa. This beer is really bold in ways. I just wish it was a little more balanced.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a tulip glass.
A-Deep brown pour with a nice tan head that laces well.
S-Roasted coffee and cream, with a hint of smoke, but not overpowering. Rich malts are present.
T-Smooth rich, creamy smoked slighly sweet malts feature caramel and coffee. Not the worlds most complex beer, but damn it is pretty tasty.
M-Creamy and well balanced.
D-I could drink this one all night. A great addition in the new series, possibly better than last years, and almost makes me forgive these guys for killing Snowbound.

01/27/11- Had this one on-tap at Dirty Franks in Columbus.
Honestly, I realized that this tasted different than last year... but not because it was an entirely different style. Good to know that I'm not crazy.
A: Black with yellow hues, sparse film and collar but good lacing.
S: Strong banana, caramel, roast that is almost bacon but more campfire, slightly earthy hops... almost like a smore.
T: Caramel, strong pork roast, bananas, slight rum, chocolate. Not very good.
M: Almost crisp frothy mouthfeel.
D: Good.
I'm not a big fan of smoked beers, but this one was tolerable.

3.93/5 rDev -2.7%
Pours jet black with a big brown bubbly head. good lacing. Light won't go thru this.
Charred malt, bitter coffee, and a hint of woodsmoke. Just right.
Great balance between the sweet and bitter here. Initial taste is charred malt, with a punch of sweetness, even some vanilla. Some bitter chocolate and burnt, carbonized toast. As the palate clears, you get alcohol, fading bitterness, and a light smoky edge. Full flavors.
Fuller boded, appropriate carbonation. Just tingly enough on the tongue to keep this from being cloying.
Liked this alot, but this is a rich one. One or 2 and you need to move on. Very very good.

What a bad ass this is... I picked this up on a recent jaunt to the bottle shop... Liked the first edition and I love smoked porters (see Sue) so I had to grab it...
Pours into my DFH signature a jet black, thick and creamy looking with a lush creamy head of mocha... Its not brown, its not almost black, its completely midnight black... Void of light...
Huge roasted malt aromas that have been infused with smoky bacon and ham hocks and a good dose of cocoa... Its aroma heaven as far as a Baltic Porter goes and in my top 5 overall... Its intense and smoky and dense.. As if I'd stepped into an old smokehouse (which I have-I live in TN) and inhaled deeply...
A velvety blend of smoky bacon, dark roasted chocolate malts, good ol smoked ham hocks, and a touch of caramel sweetness on the finish... Its a sipper, for sure... Intense and smoky but in the best possible way.. It doesn't seem overdone or overworked to me... Its just right...
Best Baltic Porter I've ever had and that's a no brainer... Its a 5 for the style which is what I'm rating it on... Top 10 beer easily as well... This needs to be a seasonal... Nice for the winter...

Served in a Cantillon tulip.
Pours near black with a single-finger light mocha head with pretty good retention and some spotty lacing as it goes down, eventually settling down into a thin collar. The nose has some roasted malt character as well as some nice chocolate and espresso notes with a bit of dark fruit backing. Dark chocolate is the predominant character.
The taste is pretty congruent with the nose, as there's some roast up front followed by some slightly-bitter espresso as well as chocolate, and then finishing up with some dry bitterness. Body is medium with moderate levels of carbonation. No booze is apparent. Very nice beer overall and I definitely prefer it to Volume 1 of the series.

Poured out of a standard 12 oz. bottle into my Duvel.
A - Pitch black. Small light brown head that quickly recedes.
S - Nice chocolate and mocha smell. Not overly sweet but its there. Definitely get the smoky smell.
T - Much less chocolate in the taste then the smell would make you think. Nice roasted flavor comes through on the palate. Seems to finish with just a bit of bitterness. Warming alcohol feel as well. Overall thought this would have been sweeter but it was subtle.
M - Light to medium bodied and creamy.
D - Good solid and drinkable porter.

Tiny splotches of lacing atop a decently black beer.
The nose is nicely creamy and silky. A good bit of char, roast and smoke lends a balance.
Overall this is a sweet, milky beer but a sturdy char, ash and smoke flavor keeps it in check.
I really like this. There seems to be a lot if smoked baltic porters coming out, this holds its own against them.

A - Poured into a pint glass nice and black with a pretty head and lacing.
S - Malty & smoky
T - Smoky, but not overwhelming - it's no rauchbier; slightly acidic aftertaste
M - Creamy, bubblier than other porters I've had
D - Not very boozy going down, but don't know if I'd go for more; maybe Baltics ain't my thang
Awesome label -- one of my favorites that I've seen out there.

Another fade to black release from left hand. This time around we get a smoked Baltic porter. This beer pours a deep dark black. Its not a black hole, but still pretty dark. Things are topped off by a fingers worth of dark khaki head. The head settles to a ring. Plenty of lace is left down the glass.
Fade to Black has a nice nose. The smoke is there, but its kind of on the light side. Dark malts shine through. Plenty of dark roasted coffee hit. Sweet milk chocolate notes present as well. Behind the dark roast notes, a bit of dark fruit is present, blackberries perhaps. A bit of earthiness rounds things out.
The taste follows along with the nose. The smoke hits a bit stronger on the palate. Dark roasted coffee dominates. Some lightish milk chocolate notes present as well. Hints of blackberries and raspberries show up mid palate. The finish is full and some what earthy with a long lingering peat smoke.
Fade to black is a nice full bodied Baltic that is silken on the tongue. The carbonation is a bit light, but more than does the job.
Fade to black is another fine smoked brew. This brew favors balance over a strong showing of smoke. Its definitely one of the better Baltic porters I have had. The alcohol is kept in check. Its present in so much that you know you're drinking a stronger brew. Great job Left Hand. May your next Fade to Black be just as impressive.

Pours as dark as the Baltic Sea at night with mocha colored foamy waves crashing against the side of the tulip.
Wow, starts on the nose like your sitting around a campfire but then quickly turns into the smell of salt cured ham. Also notes of dark chocolate, and dark malts.
Just as unique in flavor as the smells. Smoke & salty bacon. Under the thick malts are some pretty bitter hops. Actually feel the lingering effect on my taste buds. As it warms, the nice alcohol flavor begins to shine through.
Medium to full body with just the right amount of carbonation.
One of the most unique smoked porters I've tasted but it works. Very enjoyable.

This beer pours an opaque black color. The head is one inch in height, and recedes rather quickly into a thin cap of lacing. The aroma is camp fire smoke, roasted malt, and a hint of bacon. The taste is of bacon, chocolate, and smoke. I'm really digging the taste of this beer. The aftertaste lingers beautifully, and screams drink more of me. The mouthfeel is medium-full bodied with moderate carbonation, and a velvety texture. Overall, this is a really good beer that I will drink a bunch of until it is gone. Kudos to Left Hand for hitting another one out of the park with their Fade to Black series.

This is some good stuff! Bottled 12/21/10.
It pours very well with a small about of carbonation. It's almost pitch-black except for a light brown tinge around the edges of the glass.
Smells quite like a bitter sweet malt flavor.
Taste is amazing. Deep, dense smokey/dark-chocolate flavors with just enough carbonation to enhance the flavor. It feels like a thin or light syrup hugging my tongue. It finishes quite seamlessly with a lingering bitter-smokey taste.
I find it to be quite drinkable, and I know I will enjoy the other five out of the six-pack.

A: Pours black like coffee with a thin head of mocha that leaves a spotty lacing down the glass. The little foam on the top behaves like thick cream and lasts the whole glass.
S: Definitely smoked wood chips and roasted coffee from the malts. Some nuttiness and unsweetened chocolate is there too.
T: Lots of smokey flavors both woody and meaty, coffee and unsweetened chocolate, just like the smell. There is some sweetness on the finish from the malts and the hoppy bitterness is there but it has more of a coffee feel to it. The flavor lingers for quite a long time but it is pleasant with this beer.
M: Rather chewy but not syrup heavy. Medium to full bodied with some mouth coating and low to medium carbonation.
D: The taste is rather addicting but this one's got some serious body even for a porter. The alcohol is detectable in the warming feel after but not in the taste at all. A great offering from Left Hand, I'll buy it again but I need another session to polish off these bottles.

4.6/5 rDev +13.9%
Poured into a snifter.
Pours a jet black (little on the dark side), with a light tan head that drops rather quickly. Signs of lacing.
Aroma of burnt, roasted malts, dark roasted coffee, and light smoke.
First sip is of dark roasted malts, coffee, smoke, website says smoked munich (smoked with hackberry, not sure what that is). A spicy note, from perhaps the rye. Some hop bitterness toward the end. Long lasting finish is slightly sweet, burnt, and smokey.
Mouthfeel is full, chewy, lightly carbonated. Mouthcoating dark roasted flavors.
Dangerously drinkable beer. Nice subtle notes of smoke. Base beer is a little heavy on the roast flavors for a baltic porter, and a little too dark. But overall, very nice beer.

Fade to Blacke pours an opaque darkness with a light tan head.
Smells of smoke, nuts, chocolate.
Taste is exactly that of smell, smoke, chocolate, and nuttiness.
Mouthfeel is quite creamy yet thin.
Drinkability is quite high for me, cause it is not overwhelming with smoke flavor. Nice.

$10.50 six pack from New Beer. Bottled on 11/29/10.
Can't remember the last time I bought a six pack of a brew I never tried before. Another customer was grabbing a few & mentioned it being a smoked Baltic porter & I was immediately sold. Two of my top three favorite styles, by your powers combined... :) Now while it didn't end up being the Holy Grail, it did end up being pretty tasty.
Took three bottles to really get a hold of it. Ended up enjoying it most when it was very cool, but not yet cold. (About the temperature it was a couple hours after taking it out of my shopping bag).
Charred black body. Bulbous, thin, dark tan head. Minimal lace.
Smell is hearty blackened malt, sharp with burnt bbq sauce & raisins. Coffee. Fumy alcohol & a bit of baking chocolate.
Taste is burnt bread, cocoa mix, woody soot, & a just a bit of caramel. Smoke comes through as meaty, if a bit too charred. Not bacon-y, but at least it's not barky/acrid like some lesser smoked beers. It's just lacking that one extra note to give it a 5.0. Finish lingers with leafy/earthy hops.
Feel is excellent. Creamy, but decently carbonated. A touch hot, but not difficult. Soothing.

Black in body with a coffee head. Smoked ham in the nose. Chocolate flavors mingle with hops, earth, and smoked bits. A medicinal characteristic comes through towards the finish. Medium bodied brew with light carbonation. Definitely an eye-opener from the smoke. A real nice touch to the classic porter.

a - pours chestnut mahogany, and thin lacing
s - caramel, smokey, malty and nutty
t - first is smokey, then dark malts with an nutty flavor, maybe some cocoa, but not sure. taste is similar to the smell
m - lightly carbonated, no bready or yeastiness, smooth, almost thin in the middle, but the flavor comes quickly after the thinness so s soon as you feel the thinness it is blocked by smokey, malty, nuttiness,
d - if you like this style, then you could slam back a lot of these and be quote happy. It reminds me of course of the duck rabbit seasonal baltic porter I think I will at least try to get another sixes of this since it is brewed once, and next year will be a different style, plus, this is 7.8% so it might age decently by next year with the release of volume three, which is yet to be determined. I like the idea of a new style, but same name each year, unique, and pretty cool.

It's now 3 weeks that I listen to Pat Metheny "Orchestrion" over and over.
Firsteval, I deed know what to think about it.
Pat Metheny do'nt play real "straight jazz" even not the music of P.M Group.
It's something else.
The music is very dense and rich.
I've always prefer the real jazz side of P.Metheny.
It's a "solo" album but not like "Zero Tolerance For Silence"
This Cd have a taste of freedom; this freedom that he's looking for a while.
They are many side of Pat Metheny.
Here, we can discover an other one.
An experience that you can not mist.

Smokie Norful Presents Victory Cathedral Choir
Smokie Norful
First off, this isn't a Smokie Norful album — he only sings on two tracks here, "I'm Still Here" and "Come Too Far." This is Norful presenting the Victory Cathedral Choir, and most of the featured vocals (aside from Norful's two songs and another by Keshia McFarland) are by lead voices from within the choir. Recorded live at the Friendship Baptist Church in Chicago, the album is a no-frills set of Sunday morning worship songs that doesn't strive to be anything else — it isn't innovative or flashy, but then there's a comfort in that. This is old-school church music as only a full choir can deliver it.

When the Red Sox signed Mike Napoli away from the Rangers following the 2012 season, there was little complexity about his profile. The man could mash.
As for the finer points of the game? Whatever.
Napoli arrived in Boston with the public reputation of being a subpar defender at both catcher and first base, a player with middle-of-the-order power (if not experience after spending his career in the lower third of the lineup) whose game was defined by an unbuttoned, swing-from-the-heels approach at the plate.
In their research on him, the Red Sox had concluded that he had a chance to be an adequate defender at first base and believed that he was underrated as a baserunner. Still, their desire to sign him was all about his offensive approach, the grinding at-bats that drove up opponents' pitch counts and yielded home runs in bunches.
Napoli now has become far more than that. In his second season in Boston, he's been the Sox' best player, someone whose diversity of skills has made him the unexpected embodiment of everything the team values in a player.
Offensively, he's been the closest thing to a constant that the Red Sox lineup has had this year. He leads the team in average (.289), OBP (.417) and slugging (.482). He leads the majors with 4.68 pitches per plate appearances. A conscientious effort to improve his two-strike approach (after he set a Red Sox record last year for most punchouts in a season) has resulted in a decline in his strikeout rate from 32.4 percent of plate appearances to 23.7 percent.
It's mostly due to his offense that baseball-reference.com pegs him as the fifth-most valuable player in the game (as measured by its Wins Above Replacement/WAR) calculations, someone who already has been worth 1.5 wins relative to a replacement-level first baseman.
Napoli also now is recognized as more than the embodiment of the team's philosophy in the batter's box. Consider what Red Sox prospect Mookie Betts had to say when asked about players whose games he wanted to use as a model for his own.
"I've actually watched Napoli in spring training, because [third base and infield coach Brian Butterfield] told me to watch him," said Betts. "He's one of the best baserunners. He's not fast, but he understands how to run the bases and he knows when he needs to go first to third. He knows when to tag and how to tag in all situations."
In Boston, Napoli's attention to the details of the game has made him a player who, like Dustin Pedroia, is held up as a role model for younger members of the organization. Napoli is aware of that status and is mindful of the responsibility that it entails.
"When I play the game, I play the game to show the young guys how I believe you should play the game and how hard you should play the game, and I like being somebody that people could look to [to] learn," he said. "I love talking about the game. I talk to [Xander Bogaerts] all the time, I talk to Will [Middlebrooks]. It's just something that I had when I was coming up [with the Angels]. I had Darin Erstad, Tim Salmon, Garret Anderson, [John] Lackey, Adam Kennedy. I had so many guys that I looked up to and how they played the game and they showed me the way to play the game.
"For me," he added, "I feel like I want to do that for other people, too, to keep the game going and just keep the line moving. I was taught the good way, so I want to be able to do the same thing. I love the game. When I'm out there on the field, it's our job and I want to do it the best I possibly can and be able to show the way for the young guys in the organization how to play the game because people look up to you. I don't know who's watching me that day or what's going on, so I try to do it on a daily basis to show the way and lead by example. … I want people to look at me and say, 'Whoa, look at what he just did,' and fire them up. I want to do that."
When Napoli joined the Red Sox, the one-dimensional nature of his reputation was real, even if misguided.
"I think that's a stereotype," said Butterfield. "I think we all have a tendency to look at a guy who hits home runs and you are attracted to that, a guy that can hit a ball in the seats, and people lose sight of the fact that there are other parts of the game that he excels at. Unless you're paying real close attention, you're going to miss it."
It didn't take long for the Red Sox' infield guru to learn that the stereotype did not hold. Instead, as Napoli prepared to shed his catcher's gear for a first baseman's mitt, Butterfield found a willing and eager student whom he quickly realized would have the aptitude and desire to become a very good everyday first baseman.
"Early on in spring training last year when I was first getting to know him, in baseball conversations on Field 162 as we call our defensive work, he outlined the things he felt like were important to him as a defender," said Butterfield. "We just talked about baseball and it was obvious to me right away, right away before we even played our first spring training game last year, that he was a complete player -- a baserunner, defender, he was going to take complete pride in his work. He was always hunting me down in spring training, always hunting me down to get extra work."
It was not just the volume of work that Butterfield saw. It was the manner in which Napoli approached his routines.
Defensively, he engages in what Butterfield describes as "perfect practice … meticulous practice" to hone his actions at what has become a very comfortable position where he can excel. His progress as a first baseman reached a point were Butterfield ignored Napoli's protestations and made him stop taking grounders by last September in order to keep the first baseman -- who was managing plantar fasciitis at the time -- healthy for the duration of the year.
His work at that position has made him a standout defender, something that was backed by advanced defensive metrics but still couldn't gain Napoli consideration as one of the top three candidates for a Gold Glove at the position based, perhaps, on old perceptons.
"I think a lot of people, the second half of the year, were surprised by looking at some of the defensive statistics. Actually, a couple coaches came up to me and they go, 'We've got Napoli as our top-rated first baseman.' And I go, 'Well, he is. He's the best first baseman, I think, in the American League.' Guys were falling down, looking at me, going, 'What?' " recalled Butterfield. "I said, 'Pay attention to him. Watch him this series. Watch the way he's on top of everything he does defensively, watch the way he moves around the base and picks up his infielders, watch the way he makes the 3-6, watch the stuff he does between innings to prepare.' I think it's just people overlooking it a little bit. But I think through what he did last year he's starting to develop a reputation where people are paying a little more attention to it. I don't know how much. Maybe still not enough. But I think people are starting to understand."
The evidence of Napoli's precision is found elsewhere as well.
"Walk by his locker," said Butterfield. "He's detailed with the way he hangs his shirts. He's meticulous. His shoes are in there meticulously, his uniform is hung meticulously. That's who he is.
"He'll never be asked to bunt, but he'll lay two bunts down at the start of B.P. that are just perfect -- perfect technique," he continued. "He gets it down the first base line, then he simulates a first and second, gets it down the third base line and does it just perfect, every single day. I tell our young guys, 'Watch this guy bunt,' and he won't be asked to bunt until the day he takes the uniform off."
Perhaps the most unexpected aspect of the Red Sox' appreciation for Napoli's game has come on the bases. The assumption would be that a man with a lumberjack's beard who wields a cudgel at the plate would be all about brute force rather than nuance, a lumberer on the bases whose preferred route to home would be a modest jog on a home run, either by himself or someone else.
Not so.
Indeed, it's telling to hear about Napoli's favorite moment from the Red Sox' run to a championship last year. It wasn't the game-winning homer in Game 3 of the ALCS off of Justin Verlander that propelled the Sox to a 1-0 win. It wasn't even his epic launch off of Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez in Game 4, when he blasted a rocket some 460 feet to straightaway center field.
For Napoli, the highlight of last October took place in the Game 5 victory in which he launched that massive homer, but instead later in that same game. With the Sox up 3-0, Napoli clubbed a one-out double. He broke on contact and advanced to third on a comebacker on which a lesser break would have prevented him from moving up. Then, with two outs, he got a great read on a Sanchez offering in the dirt and, even though the ball didn't stray far from beaten-up Tigers catcher Alex Avila, he broke aggressively and slid across the plate just ahead of the flip to score the Sox' fourth run -- a tally that proved decisive in an eventual 4-3 win in a pivotal Game 5.
"It was awesome. I talk to Butter all the time about 90 feet. Anyway you can go 90 feet in the game to potentially let you score a run," said Napoli. "We actually had a conversation the other day about it and I get chills right now thinking about the whole play, because everyone wants to talk about the home run I hit, but we won 4-3 because I scored 90 feet on the passed ball. Nobody will ever talk about that, but that's the kind of stuff that we talk about and is important in this game that a lot of people don't understand. They always think about the homer. They saw the big bomb, but they don't remember that."
The Red Sox remember it. It's part of the reason why Napoli has become a talking point for younger players, why the Red Sox wanted Napoli to sit with Bogaerts during a game in spring training -- when neither player was in the contest -- to discuss the finer points of baserunning.
It is a role that Napoli embraces and appreciates.
"It's awesome. It's something really cool. That's what you should want in a player. You should want to be looked at," said Napoli. "I want to be looked at as an all-around, great baseball player. Not just a great power hitter. I take pride in my defense. I want to get better every day, so for [Butterfield] to [tell young players to pay attention to his work] and have kids watch me, I think it's cool. I love it. It gives me a good feeling inside. It's just something you should want as a player."
The fact that the Red Sox view Napoli as a role model -- that they have such a profound appreciation for his game that they encourage young players to follow his lead -- reinforces why Napoli was so intent on returning to Boston when he reached free agency after the World Series run.
There was interest from other teams, including a Rangers club with whom Napoli had nearly won a World Series in 2011 and for whom Napoli embraced playing. But everything about Boston permitted Napoli to feel at home.
He is in a city that he loves, in an organization where he is viewed as a a leader and the embodiment of nearly everything that the team values both on the field and in the clubhouse. He has been entrusted with middle-of-the-order responsibility -- a lineup pillar in the cleanup spot -- yet he is also understood to be considerably more than a slugger.
"I think it's a great way to be as a professional baseball player, it's a great way to be as a major leaguer and he's a great guy to carry the torch for us," explained Butterfield. "He really is."
All of that contributed to Napoli's determination this past offseason to remain with the Red Sox, to re-sign on a two-year, $32 million deal even though he could have landed a deal for a longer term. On and off the field, he feels as if he's now found his home.
"I know the city now, I know where I'm going. I just bought a place to live. So it's just a better feeling. It's like home, where you spend most of your time. I'm probably going to stay here in the offseason this year because I bought the place, but just knowing everyone's personality around the clubhouse and front office to the coaching staff, it's comfortable," said Napoli. "I've been fortunate enough to win everywhere I've gone and we won a championship. I saw that we had a lot of guys coming back and I felt like we could win [again] here.
"I love the city, how the fans came to me, so I told [agent Brian Grieper], 'Let's get something done, something done fair.' I got paid a lot of money, let's not just push that to the side. That's basically how the conversation went with me and Brian. I wanted to get signed early. I didn't want to wait, especially after this offseason. I wanted to get it done and we work well together and they are awesome in the front office. We just got it done and I couldn't be happier."

How can teams acquire players who are entering their primes without having to live through the potentially massive transition of prospects coming from the minors to the big leagues? The Red Sox have two such case studies. The signing of Cuban outfielder Rusney Castillo represents one effort to acquire a player for his prime years for whom the transition to big league-caliber competition might not be turbulent. Red Sox assistant director of player personnel discusses the scouting process involved with landing Castillo. The episode also features Brock Holt, the one rookie who played at a consistently high level for the Red Sox this year. Holt explores some of the distinctions that might help to explain why he did not experience some of the struggles that characterized the seasons of Xander Bogaerts and Jackie Bradley Jr.

Harry Cripps
|Personal information
|Full name
|Henry Richard Cripps
|Date of birth
|29 April 1941
|Place of birth
|Dereham, England
|Date of death
|29 December 1995(aged 54)
|Playing position

|* Senior club appearances and goals counted for the domestic league only.
† Appearances (Goals).
Harry Cripps, (29 April 1941 – 29 December 1995) was an English professional footballer who played for South East London side Millwall for the majority of his career, becoming a cult figure in the process.
Initially on the books of Millwall's bitter rivals West Ham, he was a member of the FA Youth Cup Final team of 1958-59 alongside Bobby Moore, Eddie Bovington and Jack Burkett.
Cripps was signed by The Lions in 1961 and made his first team debut on 19 August 1961 against Wrexham following an injury to Johnny Gilchrist. He rapidly became a fan favourite due to his bustling, combatative performances at full back, always looking to get forward and score goals, and becoming renowned as a fearless tackler. He was particularly prominent during Millwall's successive promotion seasons in the mid-1960s, during which time the team began an unbeaten home record at The Den which extended to an amazing 59 matches (1964–1967), drawing on the intimidating atmosphere generated by Millwall's famously vociferous fans.
This period saw the club return to Division Two after a lengthy absence, under the guidance of Manager Billy Gray and later, Benny Fenton. He was also a key part of what was perhaps Millwall's greatest ever side that narrowly missed out on promotion to the old Division One by just one point, during the 1971-72 season, that also included the likes of Barry Kitchener, Keith Weller and Eamon Dunphy. He left the club after fourteen seasons to join Charlton in 1974, by which time he had amassed a record breaking 400 league appearances for The Lions, beating the record of Jim Forsyth of 321 Football League appearances. He later became a coach at Crystal Palace, as well as assistant manager at Charlton, Manager of Barking and Southend United. He was also a coach in the contrasting environment of Winchester College, an elite fee-paying school.
He died of a heart attack on 29 December 1995.[1]
Arry's Bar at The Den is named in his honour.

Sound Devices 664 Field Production Mixer Receives Nomination for The Cinema Audio Societyâs Technical Achievement Award
REEDSBURG, WI, JANUARY 31, 2013 â Sound Devices, experts in portable audio and video products for field production, is pleased to announce that its 664 Production Mixer has been nominated for a Cinema Audio Society (CAS) Technical Achievement Award in the production category.
The 664 Field Production Mixer is the new flagship in Sound Devicesâ line of portable audio mixers. The intuitive 664 has six input channels and four output buses. All inputs and outputs are recordable to both CF and SD cards. This unprecedented amount of I/O connectivity and recording capability makes the 664 perfect for any portable production application.
âIt is an honor and privilege to once again be nominated for a Technical Achievement Award by the Cinema Audio Society,â says Matt Anderson, President of Sound Devices. âBeing recognized by such a prestigious organization confirms our efforts to continue to bring innovative, industry-leading products to market.â
The 664 has six ultra-low noise, high-dynamic-range analog inputs. These transformer-less preamps accept mic- or line-level signals, and include analog peak limiters, high-pass filters, input trim controls and direct outputs. Input connectors 1 and 6 can be selected to accept AES42 or AES3 digital signals
In complex multi-camera productions, output flexibility is essential. The 664 can send its main left/right outputs to three cameras simultaneously. Two additional output buses, X1 and X2, appear on balanced TA3 connectors. AES3 digital outputs are individually selected to appear on the main XLR and multi-pin output connectors.
The 664 can record each of its inputs and four output buses for 10 record tracks. Recordings are saved to CompactFlash and SD cards. Recordings are either 16- or 24-bit broadcast WAV files, with extensive metadata. All popular production sampling rates are supported. When used with a CL-6 Input Expander, the 664 records 16 tracks, 12 inputs and four output buses.
The mixer's built-in, rock-steady Ambient time code generator allows multiple devices to operate in synchronization. The 664 can operate as a time code master clock, or its clock can be jammed from an external time code. A helpful time code compare utility shows the difference between internal and external time codes.
This yearâs winners will be announced at the 49th annual CAS Awards on Saturday, February 16th at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles.

China's E-House Holdings Limited (NYSE:EJ), is a residential real estate service company, which was incorporated on August 27, 2004. Through its subsidiaries, the company is principally engaged in providing real estate agency and brokerage services in both primary and secondary chinese real estate markets while covering the consulting and information services side of the business.
E-House's principal focus consists in its real estate brokerage services, comprising three metropolitan areas within China, including Shanghai, Wuhan, and Hangzhou, as well as in Hong Kong and Macau.
In its Primary Services, E-House develops a signature identity and brand that are distinctive to a project, establishing long-term awareness of that particular project among prospective purchasers.
In relation to the Secondary Market, E-House engages in listing and brokerage services including both sales and rentals with the main Shanghai, Wuhan and Hangzhou areas as primary targets. As of March 31 of 2007, E-House had 75 stores in Shanghai, 17 stores in Wuhan and 16 stores in Hangzhou.
Its third business aspect, Real estate consulting and information services, includes tailored applications to meet the needs of developer clients at various stages of the project development and sales process. The consulting services is divided into land acquisition consulting and property development consulting.
Worth noting here is the fact of E-House offering an enhanced service by its real estate information database and analysis system called CRIC (China Real Estate Information Circle system). System provides up-to-date and in-depth information covering residential and commercial real estate properties in all regions in China. This has proven to be a very effective tool, among other things for E-House - against competition in the industry, which by the way remains strong and continually challenged by Century 21 and Coldwell Banker. However, E-House holds at current levels a leading position based on its rapid growth and its unparalleled geographic coverage. On September 25th, E-House was recognized as China's leading real estate consulting and agency service company.
I think a major focal point when analyzing China's real estate industry, has to remain on the urban aspect of it. Urbanization rate is a major indicator representing a country's modernization level. There is no disputing at this point in my opinion, to China's embracing the capitalistic approach in its economy thus pushing country's direction into a more modernized, accessible and resourceful economy. During the second quarter of fiscal '07 the GDP in China rose at an astounding 11.9%. Without doubt, the real estate industry is expected to benefit from such growth.
In the past decade, China's cities expanded at an average rate of 10% annually. From 1978 to 2004, China's urbanization rate rose from 17.9% to 41.8% and its urban population increased from 170 million to 540 million. By the middle of this century, the country's urbanization rate will rise to 75% or so in order to support its overall modernization process, placing the improvement of housing construction and human settlements development at the top of the government's agenda.
Based on these facts and including supply and demand model, in that of the price level moving toward the point that equalizes quantities supplied and demanded, without considering here, E-House's leading industry status ; this company seems uniquely positioned to benefit from the industry's present boom and the long-term projected growth.
E- House's market cap stands at $1.14 billion. Its peg is only 0.75 suggesting stocks poised for price appreciation. Profit margins have come in at 34.42%. Operating margins posted at almost 50%. Revenues, $82.36 million for a Net income of $23.68 million. Current ratio 2.47.
On August 22 - E-House reported second quarter earnings - Total revenues were $24.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal '07, an increase of 147% from $9.7 million for the same quarter in fiscal '06. For the first half of 2007, total revenues were $40.0 million, an increase of 193% from $13.7 million for the same period in 2006. Company's CEO reiterated the fact of being very "pleased with the strong growth company experienced for second quarter and first half of 2007".
Most stocks in the real estate industry have seen steadily growing revenue over the past few years. This stock has done much better than most of its peers. Its revenues have grown very rapidly. Growth estimates for next fiscal '08 are projected at 39.2%.
Since its initial public offering EJ has fared extremely well. The chart has had its share of volatility but all in line with market decline, I might add - over the subprime debacle. At this point it is important is to note, that the trend currently is certainly going in the right direction with the outlook for rest of fiscal 2007 remaining positive.
Stock should realize a $28-$30 price levels short-mid term.

He is also requesting an indefinite stay of execution while the review and/or revision is completed.
Director Patton also supports an external investigation into the circumstances surrounding Lockett's execution.
