text: Did this deal come with some sort of consumer protection clause? I know that Groeschner, et al were inspecting Sanchez over the weekend, but i am curious if Sabean worked in some sort of protection clause in case Sanchez has some sort of knee issue that is more than just a day-to-day thing. I can't remember the specific trade, but i remember one example of a player going back to his original team for the same or similar trade pieces. I know you have to give up a lot to get a lot, but i am seriously hoping that Sabean made sure that Tim A isn't gone for a lemon.

Statement on Emergency Plans for Child Care Programs in Georgia in Response to McNair Discovery Learning Academy in DeKalb County from Bright from the Start: Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning Commissioner Bobby Cagle:
"In response to today's incident at the McNair Discovery Learning Academy in DeKalb County, the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL) is reminding all of the state's child care programs and Georgia's Pre-K classes of DECAL's required policies for handling emergencies. There are approximately 6,000 child care programs in Georgia and all of them are required to conduct fire drills monthly and regular drills for tornados and other emergency situations. Each child care program should have evacuation plans, including keeping children and staff in place and securing the location or off-site evacuations where children and staff would move to a safe designated area. As we saw today at McNair, teachers and providers are the first responders in emergencies like these and should be trained and supported in every way possible. Parents must be informed of the center's emergency policies and procedures. Our child care consultants work with providers and teachers to ensure that emergency plans are up-to-date and recommend support materials for helping children and teachers cope with the aftermath of any emergency. At DECAL, our top priority is the health and safety of Georgia's youngest learners."

I made this for lunch. I had grilled chicken short-cuts on hand which made preparation a snap. I didn't have any celery, and used toasted slivered almonds. It was fantastic! My husband said it was the best chicken salad he ever ate! I highly recommend this recipe.
Creamy Chicken Salad

Poaching the chicken keeps it moist and succulent, so you'll need less dressing to bind the chicken salad.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 1 cup chicken salad and 1 cup salad greens)

ABC Recounts Accusations of Pope Covering Up Evidence in Missing Child Case
On Monday's Good Morning America, as ABC's Jeffrey Kofman recounted the news that Pope Benedict XVI's butler has been arrested, implicated in leaking Vatican documents to the media, the ABC correspondent asserted that the Pope's "seven-year papacy has been consumed by very public scandals," and then recounted a group of demonstrators who recently accused the Pope of "covering up evidence" in the case of a 15-year-old girl who went missing in 1983. Kofman:
Conspiracy and intrigue are nothing new to the Vatican. But Benedict's seven-year papacy has been consumed by very public scandals. On Sunday, the Pope faced demonstrators accusing him of covering up evidence in the mysterious 1983 disappearance of the young daughter of a Vatican employee, thought to be buried in the tomb of a mafia don.

Is this ABC News' attempt to warn the RCC that coverage will get uglier if it insists on pursing the Obamacare lawsuits?

Goebbels' Principles
Submitted by LaVallette on Tue, 05/29/2012 - 5:44am.
Goebbels would be just so proud of this reporter. He follows the former's propaganda principles to the letter. The picture (now confirmed by this video) that I have seen published of the so called protest against the "disappearance of the young daughter of a Vatican employee", (no evidence or proof of any involvement) consisted of a "very tight" take of about half a dozen youngish people holding up placards at the very fringe of a large audience attending the Sunday Papal Noon "Angelus" prayer and blessing. So the usual liberal press style: disregard the thousands and focus on the few at the fringe. Actual evidence of involvement is irrelevant. Insert segments of a film in a news item for emphasis to add to the smear The classic "smear by inference".
PS. Godwin's Law does NOT apply when the comparison fits perfectly. Godwin's Law is designed to protect Progressives from such apt comparisons. If the cap fits.........!

text:
Perhaps this subject has been discussed to death already, but lets compare this years team to the 2003 team. Since all know both teams were/are awesome, its only natural I suppose so here we go with the player-by-player breakdown:
Wes Johnson - Carmelo. Obviously because he is the best player, and a do-it-all type guy. Wes isn't a freshman, but this is his first and likely only year at SU. Also like 'melo, likely top-5 pick in the NBA draft and arguably the best player in college right now.
Andy Rautins - Kueth Duany. Rautins IMO is much better than Duany, but Duany was clearly a senior leader, fan-favorite and glue-guy. He could and did do whatever the team needed of him, just like Andy. Even when that meant stepping aside and letting others have the spotlight.
Brandon Triche - Gerry McNamara. While Brandon is not and will never be the shooter Gerry was, both are some of the best freshman PGs to set foot on the SU campus. Both were/are capable scorers and have played at a level thats well beyond their years. Also, Brandon is a local guy, and Gerry might as well be (much to the chagrin Syracuse fans and Kia dealers all over Scranton, PA).
AO - McNeil. While AO is a much better scorer, both are shorter, wide-body centers and remind me a lot of Otis Hill from the '96 team. And both suck at the FT line.
Rick Jackson - Tough call here, because no one from the '03 squad really fits. So I'm going with Craig-Nasty. Craig was a true center but seemed to play shorter than the 7' he actually was. Craig was reliable, but split time at center with McNeil. Similarly, Rick is a reliable scorer/rebounder, is shorter than 7' and splits time at center with AO.
KJo - Hakim. The way Joseph has burst onto the scene this year as a sophomore is just as striking as Hak's breakout sophomore year in 2003. Both have a knack for getting around the rim, rebounding and throwing down some nice dunks. The fact that KJo is doing it as a bench player is even more amazing to me.
Scoop - Josh Pace. While Scoop is a PG, both bring that combination of depth/experience/talent to the team. Both are guys I have 100% faith in driving into the lane and scoring, but for some reason I'm still amazed at how consistent they were in that respect.
Mookie - Billey Edelin. Mook def. won't contribute in the 2nd half of the season that Billy did, but their the resident drama queens for their respective teams. In the end, that level of drama is a minor annoyance compared to other teams.
To top it off, both of these teams were grossly underrated from the beginning of the season, and caught fans and the media completely off-gaurd. But both teams showed steady improvement throughout the season. Both have capable and potential future stars as bench players. And most of all both teams have incredible balance between leadership, youth and star power. That beings said, March is still a ways off, but I think this years team might even be better than '03. Thoughts?

Wedmore group offers advice on cutting energy costs (From Burnham and Highbridge Weekly News)
Get involved! Send your photos, video, news & views by texting WEEKLY NEWS to 80360 or email us
Wedmore group offers advice on cutting energy costs
3:23pm Thursday 30th January 2014 in News By Joe Dempsey
A GROUP aiming to promote sustainable energy in Wedmore is working to help people struggling with their energy bills.
Steve Mewes set up the Isle of Wedmore Green Group and its latest project to give advice on reducing fuel costs.
Steve said: "The issue can often be a hidden one. People as a rule don't want to be a bother, think they can cope, muddle through, but this can exacerbate the problem."
Steve was inspired to set up the group when he moved to his house in Wedmore in 2005 and was faced with a huge fuel bill.
Steve said: "The roof insulation was minimal and the old oil boiler was costing ever more to run. Following the installation of an extra 250mm of roof insulation, a wood-fired boiler and solar thermal tubes, fuel costs are 20% of what they were."
The group will work with the Centre for Sustainable Energy charity, which has Somerset staff for home visits. Phone 0800 0822234 for details. Contact Steve on firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 07841-336720.

Facing Mount Kilimanjaro – with Celiac Disease
In the early days of diagnosis, who would have thought it remotely possible? But my celiac daughter and I were closing in on the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, the roof of Africa.
Are Spices Safe for a Gluten-Free Diet?
Gluten can hide on the spice shelf. But with a little precaution, you can keep your favorite flavors. Herbs and spices have been used in foods and medicines for thou- sands of years by many cultures, and prized for their unique scents and flavors. Fresh or dried leaves, such as basil, dill, parsley, rosemary and thyme, would be examples of herbs. […]

The First Round of the NFL Draft is tonight at 8 PM EST (or 7 PM CST, 6 PM MST and 5 PM PST, including Arizona). The biggest question is who's going where (which is what the NFL Draft is all about!), and as a MWC blog community, we get to speculate even more, specifically the question: will anyone from the MWC get drafted in the first round?
Depending on where you get your daily sports news, the top 10 picks are essentially set but the first round isn't quite yet. We all know that the first pick of the draft will be HHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG...
(speculation and snark continue after the jump)Some other questions to think about tonight go as follows:
Who are the highest MWC draft picks?
Who will be the most overrated pick?
Who is Mr. Irrelevant this year (wait till Saturday)?
The Redskins gave up a lot of picks to get the second pick: will they waste it?
Who's going to Los Angeles?
What will the ridiculous payday be for the unproven player this year?
And will this guy be drafted?

By B.J. Reyes
Jonah Kaauwai, the embattled chairman of the Hawaii Republican Party, formally resigned from the post this morning.
The Hawaii Republican Party announced his resignation in messages posted on the organization's Facebook page and Twitter account.
Further details were not immediately available.
Word surfaced last week that several members of the party's executive committee wanted to remove Kaauwai as chairman.
The email cited a party debt of nearly $100,000 and questioned Kaauwai's ability to build a grass-roots organization and recruit candidates so the party can be competitive in the 2012 elections.
Last week, Kaauwai said he had been in discussions with party leaders on how best to proceed.
In an email to party members this morning, Kaauwai said he made the decision to resign "with a heart full of mixed emotions."
Although many of you have encouraged me to fight on and remain as chair, my decision to resign provides a solution to the current stalemate and division within the party.
In Abraham Lincoln's 1858 address to the Illinois Republican convention, he stated that: "A house divided against itself cannot stand." As the leader of our party, the overall unity and the inclusion of all principled groups within the party has been my objective. It was never my intent to divide members, only to identify and include new ones.
The overall health of the party is more important than any one person, issue, or candidate.
Beth Fukumoto, the party's first vice chair, is the interim state chairwoman. Fukumoto works in the state House Minority Research office and handles the GOP's coordinated campaign.

Eastern, western regions drive up cement offtake
Our Bureau
New Delhi , Sept. 9
CEMENT consumption in the eastern and western parts of the country is driving the overall consumption during the current fiscal, while the southern region has witnessed a sharp dip in cement use during the period.
The fall in consumption in the southern region during the first half of the current fiscal has largely been on account of delays in implementation of Government projects, according to an ICRA report on the cement sector.
While the eastern and western regions have seen a growth of 13.8 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively, the northern region also witnessed a reasonable high growth of eight per cent over the corresponding period last fiscal.
The southern region, on the other hand, witnessed a 2.5 per cent decline, according to the report.
The regional disparity in the consumption growth has been attributed to the state of progress of large-scale Government projects, which have witnessed delays in the South, leading to a dip in overall consumption in the region.
According to the report, cement production and despatches witnessed a growth of 6.8 per cent and 6.7 per cent, respectively.
The domestic cement consumption of about 120 million tonnes was 6.3 per cent higher over the same period last year.
Cement exports have also been picking up, with a growth of 21 per cent recorded during the current fiscal, while clinker exports, in comparison, showed a lower growth of around 6 per cent.
Cement companies export around 4 million tonnes, which is around 3 per cent of the total production.

Emergency Birth Control Effectiveness:
Emergency contraception is an option that women can choose to reduce the risk of pregnancy after having unprotected sexual intercourse or if their contraceptive fails. Emergency contraception has been available for more than 30 years and is a safe and effective birth control method. The effectiveness of emergency contraception varies with each method. In general, emergency birth control effectiveness is fairly high.
General Overview:
There are two main factors that influence the effectiveness of emergency contraception:
- The amount of time that has gone by since the incident of unprotected intercourse (so, the sooner emergency contraception is used after unprotected intercourse, the more effective it is)
- The point in a woman's cycle when she had sex (the effectiveness decreases the closer a woman is to ovulation at the time of having unprotected sex)
In general, of every 100 women who do not use emergency contraception, 8 will typically become pregnant after having unprotected sex once during the second or third week of their cycles.
1. Plan B One-Step and Progestin-Only Pills (like Ovrette):
- Effectiveness: when initiated within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse, Plan B One-Step and progestin-only pills reduce the risk of pregnancy by 89%
- Pregnancy Rate: Out of every 100 women, only 1 will become pregnant after taking progestin-only emergency contraception or Plan B One-Step
- According to the manufacturer of Plan B, "About 7 out of every 8 women who would have gotten pregnant will not become pregnant. Plan B One-Step works even better if taken within the first 24 hours after unprotected sex."
- STD Protection: Offers no protection against STDs
2. Combination Birth Control Pills:
- Effectiveness: when used as emergency contraception and started within 72 hours after unprotected sex, combination pills reduce the risk of pregnancy by 75%
- Pregnancy Rate: Out of every 100 women, only 2 will become pregnant after using combination emergency contraception
- Protection Against STDs: Offers no protection against STDs
Emergency contraception is meant to be a backup birth control method. It is not as effective as the correct and consistent use of other reversible prescription birth control methods. Neither type of emergency contraceptive pill will continue to prevent pregnancy during the rest of a woman's menstrual the cycle, so other birth control methods must be used.
Emergency Contraception may be started up to 120 hours (five days) after unprotected intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy (though the sooner emergency contraception is used after unprotected sex, its birth control effectivness is increased).
3. Pargard IUD:
- Effectiveness: when the Paragard IUD is inserted as emergency contraception within five days after unprotected sex, it reduce the risk of pregnancy by more than 99%
- Protection Against STDs: Offers no protection against STDs
- In fact, women who are at the most risk for STDs (those who have had unprotected sex with infected partners, are victims of sexual assault or who use IV drugs or have a partner who does), should probably not seek out an IUD for emergency contraception. This is because bacteria from a preexisting infection can be introduced into the uterus during the IUD insertion, and if left untreated, could lead to pelvic inflammatory disease.

Fourth of July travelers are being welcomed at the pump with a drop in gas prices. The price of gas is about 24 cents per gallon cheaper than it was on Memorial Day.
The national average is $3.55 a gallon. Drivers in the Jackson metro are doing much better than that. Prices have dropped as low as $3.18 at the Kroger in Brandon.
There was a steady stream of cars at the pumps throughout the day, as people stared their travel plans. Many say they hunt down the lowest prices to keep their finances in order.
"I'm saving at least ten dollars on a fill up from what I was a month ago," said Arnold Fincher. He and his wife travel often and hunt down the lowest prices on gas.
Its possible prices could drop another 20 to 30 cents a gallon before the year is over according to experts. Prices could also go up as hurricane season approaches, threatening the stoppage of oil production in the Gulf of Mexico.
Keith Strange was filling up his truck and several gas cans while the prices were low. "It's kind of strange it did go down over the holiday," said Smith. "I think that has something to do with them taking the gas out of our resources. It might not be a good deal, but it sure helps at the pumps."

With the Presidential Election just about a month away, if you log onto Facebook or Twitter, you're bound to see a few political posts.
"Things you wouldn't say in everyday conversation you'll say on your Facebook feed," said Stacy Dohogne Lane of Cape Girardeau. "Social media brings up a somewhat anonymous platform for people to express their views, so I think in general people are a little bit braver than they are in everyday life."
Lane said she doesn't necessarily "like" the online comments.
"I think the unsubscribe button is a beautiful thing on Facebook, so there are some people I'll go back and subscribe to once November 6th is over," said Lane.
She said she agrees with a quite she heard saying online posts should only express ideas that will bring together the political parties, not polarize them.
Lane said she doesn't think online political posts will change minds or votes.
"It's completely out of context, you don't know the type of situation it was asked in, they're singling in on one tiny little phrase, the whole picture isn't there, so I think that's why they're not necessarily very educational because you don't get the whole gist of it," said Lane. "Posting something that's inflammatory, or it's extremely one side or the other it doesn't really help anyone involved, you're not going to change anybody's mind for sure."
Cape Girardeau Councilwoman Kathy Swan said those quick characters struggle to relay an entire political message.
"The quick snippets of the technological world of communication these days are not comprehensive enough in order to form a full educated opinion," said Swan.
Lane is in charge of the social media activity for the City of Cape Girardeau Visitor's Bureau. She said she tries to keep the posts business industry related.
"I think in terms of a business, I do all the social media for Visit Cape, and it's just something I steer very very well clear of, I mean we're in the tourism industry we are not in the political business at all, so I just keep it light and friendly don't even mention it, if you looked at my social media stuff you wouldn't even know there was an election going on, and that's the way it should look," said Lane.
She said from a public relations standpoint, business owners should think before they post.
"I do think if you run your own business, there is something said for standing up for what you believe, but I think you should really keep in mind that you really can drive people away with some of those views," said Lane.
For business or personal uses, online etiquette can be a point to debate. Lane said she thinks it should be like conversation you would have in person, polite.
"I think it's always in polite conversation you don't talk about religion, you don't talk about politics and you don't talk about money, and maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing if it was the same way on Facebook as well," said Lane.
Lane said social media has also changed the game for political candidates. They now can reach voters through another platform, but also have another avenue they have to watch their moves.
"I do think social media has added a whole new ball game for the candidates, there is no room for missteps anymore," said Lane.
Lane will teach two classes at Southeast Missouri State University on how social media can work for you and your business. You can find that information here.

A Brief History:
Ghana, formerly the Gold coast, has been described as the gateway to Africa. It's beautiful beaches, lush forest, and gentle tropical climate has attracted visitors from all over the world. One outstanding characteristic of this country is the proverbial hospitality of the Ghanaian people.
The word Ghana means Warrior King and was the title accorded to the kings of the medieval West African Ghana Empire.[10] Geographically, the Ghana Empire was approximately 500 miles (800 km) north and west of modern Ghana, and it ruled territories in the area of theSénégal River and east towards the Niger River, in modern Senegal, Mauritania and Mali.
Ghana was adopted as the legal name for the Gold Coast upon independence on March 6, 1957; however, it was not until July 1, 1960 that Ghana asserted its complete autonomy from Britain and became known as the Republic of Ghana.

Michael Bay is making a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie where the turtles are aliens. Someone should send him a copy of Highlander II.—
Jason Sweeney (@sween) March 19, 2012
Growing up one of our favorite shows were the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The television series was so popular, they even made several movies using costumes instead of animation.
With that said, fans of the series were both happy and a little confused when they heard Michael Bay was bringing the turtles back to the big screen. The wealthy director is planning to have the turtles mutate into …aliens?
From Cinema Blend:
Michael Bay has gotten very, very rich by making movies about alien races who come down to earth and cause a bunch of mayhem. And even though the Transformers franchise seems set to continue with Transformers 4 in the works, Bay is apparently set on expanding his alien creature empire– even when it makes no sense whatsoever to do so. With his company Platinum Dunes in charge of the Christmas 2013 release of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot, Bay spoke to press at the Nickelodeon Upfront in New York last week to talk about his plans for the movie– and let it slip that the turtles this time around are going to be aliens.
TMNT fans, prepare to have Michael Bay destroy your childhood the same way he's already done with mine. Three words: They are aliens.—

SCHOOLS' FOOTBALL: Oxford Academy in festival delight
8:00am Wednesday 14th May 2014 in Sport
Oxford Academy stole the show at an ESFA Under 13 Seven-a-side Festival in Pwllhelli, Wales – and they did it in style.
The Academy won all five of their games, scoring 15 goals and not conceding one.
Having won their first four games, it came down to a decider against Cae Glyn FC A.
And Oxford continued their stunning form with a 3-0 victory as Kyran Lofthouse scored twice and Joseph Gaul also netted.
The team were presented with the trophy by former Liverpool and England footballer Alan Kennedy.

The keynote speaker Thursday for the 10th anniversary of the Troup County DUI/Drug Court said if he had access to a program like it in 2000, it might have prevented him deciding to drive while drunk, leading to an accident that killed two people and changed his life forever.
Speaker Chris Sandy said since the incident in 2000, he has shared his story as a cautionary tale about the consequences of drunken driving.
"I was 22 when I made the worst decision of my life," he told the crowd of DUI/Drug Court graduates and officials.
Sandy was at a party where he "slammed" four large alcoholic beverages. After receiving a call about another party, he and a friend jumped into his car and sped down a rural road at 77 mph.
As Sandy was attempting to pass a minivan, he slammed into an elderly couple as they were turning their Ford LTD into a driveway. The impact tore the Ford in half. Sandy, who wasn't wearing a seat belt, was thrown and suffered a dislocated hip and torn knee. He had a blood-alcohol level of .14.
"While I was lying on the side of the road, worrying about going to jail or worrying about what happened to my car, I hear someone in the background yell 'there is a fatality on the scene,'" Sandy said. "… As soon as I hear those words, I realize right then and there that I killed somebody."
The passenger had been killed on impact and her husband, the driver, was flown to Atlanta Medical Center, but died later. Sandy was convicted of vehicular homicide by DUI and sentenced to 13 years in prison and 17 years' probation. However, he said the guilt of knowing he took away someone's parents and grandparents will stay with him forever.
"For the rest of my life, when I wake I up, I know that I am responsible for causing this crash, all because I wanted to go to this party and I wasn't responsible enough to call someone, and I wasn't responsible enough to ask for a ride – because I made the choice to drive," he said.
The incident affected not only Sandy, but his family and friends. His friend who was in the car survived, but was changed by the experience. Sandy's parents divorced and his sister, whom he said used to idolize him, "doesn't look at me the same way any more." His father died while Sandy was incarcerated, suffering a fatal heart attack on prison grounds after a visit.
While serving time, Sandy began to enroll in programs and change his life. Paroled in 2009, Sandy began speaking around the state about his experience. He now has two children, whom Sandy worries about telling about his past.
"I'm worried my kids will look at me different," he said. "I hope they don't … but it's a fact."
Sandy said the DUI program offered in Troup County is a positive one that can help deter the kind of incident that he caused. He wished he had the opportunity to take part in one before his incident.
"I've just seen so much happening (in DUI courts), I think it's something very important and it definitely needs to be in every single city in the U.S.," Sandy said. "I wish I had gone through it when I made some mistakes in my life."
Kelly Veal, treatment provider for the Troup County DUI/Drug Court, said she has seen the impact the DUI/Drug Court and other accountability courts have had in the community. She said the participants are allowed the chance to get their lives back on track from drug or alcohol abuse.
She thanked the DUI/Drug Court team and supporters for the work they have done. She said that the accountability courts, which defer offenders to recovery programs in lieu of jail time, are the most successful form of criminal justice.
Scott Smith, DUI/Drug Court coordinator, said the accountability courts are on the cutting edge of the court system. He said the recidivism rate, amount of people who re-offend after taking the program, is only 8.9 percent, compared to about 35 percent in those who don't take the program.
Harris Blackwood of the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, said Troup County, which was one of the first counties to implement a program like the DUI/Drug Court, is a success and example for the state. He said there are too many prisoners in the state for non-violent offenses who could be treated rather than locked up.
He thanked State Court Judge Jeanette Little for embracing and promoting the program.
"I appreciate Judge Little … she is no-nonsense … but she's got a compassionate heart, and that's a good thing," he said before presenting Little with an award for 10 years of service. "Thank you for all your hard work."

Georgia and her knitting group - Anita, Peri, Darwin, Lucie and the rest - were much more than I expected. I generally don't enjoy girly, female-driven books but decided to give "The Friday Night Knitting Club" a chance, expecting it to be boring and predictable. It didn't take long to get sucked in, and I was pleasantly surprised with what I found.
"The Friday Night Knitting Club" centers around Georgia Walker, a single mother raising her daughter, Dakota, running a knitting shop called Walker and Daughter. It's a successful business she has built from nothing. She has an eclectic group of regulars who come in and out of the store. The Friday Night Knitting Club was never planned. It just kind of happened. The group of women gather together every Friday in Walker and Daughter to work on their latest project and share the stories of their lives. Some are expert knitters, some can't knit a sock, but there aren't any requirements for this club - just a feeling of sisterhood and fellowship.
Life is moving along for Georgia, when unexpectedly, Dakota's father comes back into the picture. He abandoned Georgia when he found out she was pregnant. The pregnancy was unexpected, so he packed up his stuff and vanished leaving her pregnant, alone and broke. Now he's back and wants a part of his daughter's life, something Georgia is none too happy about, but something she can't deny her daughter.
Each woman in the knitting club has her own story to tell, her own problem that she gets to forget for a few hours on Friday night. With encouragement and friendship, they find there's nothing any of them can't overcome with the help of their sisters.
I was expecting "The Friday Night Knitting Club" to be a shallow book with predictable, shallow characters, but it wasn't. The women in the book are complex and real. Though Georgia is the main character, I found depth and personality in each of the women.
Jacobs' writing is emotional and compelling. I found myself unable to stop reading at one point and was surprised at how much I was enjoying the story. The writing had a nice pace to it and kept me wanting more.
Jacobs did make knitting seem fun. The shop with all its yarns was a central location and character in the book. Even though I don't have the patience, or desire, to learn to knit, I'm sure many women tried their hand after reading "The Friday Night Knitting Club."
Hopefully next time I come across a book like this, I'll go into it with a more open mind. Sometimes when you jump in thinking you know what you're getting, you can turn the last page pleasantly surprised and thoroughly satisfied.

FanGraphs more fully asserts itself as increasingly the most dominanty stat-oriented baseball site with the introduction of their own WAR system, now available on the players pages.
I'm not sure how you could read the sentence and still be here instead of there. Unfortunatly, I need to reach a limit, so here's what they've got:
Batting - wRAA (Runs Above Average) with a park adjustment.
Fielding - The sum of a player's UZR.
Replacement - The replacement level adjustment set at 20 Runs / 600 PA.
Positional - The positional adjustment set using Tangotiger's values (see this link)
Value Runs - The sum of Batting, Fielding, Replacement, and Positional.
Value Wins - Value Runs converted to a wins scale.
Dollars - Value Wins converted to the following dollar scale:
The last is just completely win. I don't exactly know what pitchers' RAA will be based on, I want to look in to it. I have my own thoughts on that (I really like pRAA based on tRA), and I prefer plus/minus to UZR (and looking at both is even better), but these are minor quibbles, this is the best baseball news this off season.

So in my ultimate depression of a Atlanta Braves off night, i am sitting here taking in a Tiger vs Rays game and the thought has suddenly tugged at me that Carl Crawford will be a free agent at the end of this season. With the possibility of Chipper Jones retiring, do yall think we have much of a chance to sign Crawford? He seems like a good fit to our LF situation and gives us a base stealer we havent had(but not necessarily needed) lately. I know some teams will be able to throw some more money his way; however, with Chip's money off the books i think its a legitamate thought that we can put some money together to throw his way.
1. Crawford
2. Prado
3. Heyward
4. McCann
A top of the order like that is enough to get anybody excited i do believe. Let me know what all yall think??

1. My favorite part of Bronco wins these days is the collective silence that comes after conventional wisdom is turned on it's head (again and again). This silence usually lasts from the end of the game until Monday morning. By Monday morning, one writer musters the courage to come forward and take a position in the battle. Soon after that, other writers follow suit and are able to take a position (as tenuous as it may be). You see, when collective wisdom is proven wrong, nobody knows which talking points to use. They have to throw the old talking points out.
I love that you people who have foolishly put yourself into a box are constantly having to play defense, not offense. I love that you people who have foolishly put yourself into a box feel very awkward after a Bronco win. Let me throw you a lifeline. It is ok to come out of your box and admit defeat. It is ok to come out of your box and admit you were wrong, or at the very least you were premature. One of the signs of a strong person is the ability to change course. As it is now, you look similar to the man driving with his family that is too stubborn to ask for directions when he is lost. Don't be that guy.
2. As much as I love and acknowledge what Tim Tebow has done for our team, Von Miller has to be the MVP so far. Just when I said his play was starting to look one-dimensional, he changes. He has taken over the game in a way that I'm pretty sure EFX didn't even anticipate or plan on. I'm not the greatest Bronco historian but have we ever had a defensive player effect the running and passing game as much? I literally can't fathom what Von Miller will look like with more experience under his belt. Maybe he will start getting some interceptions?? I really don't know.
3. Von Miller quote = "Just having that guy around, it makes us better men. I think he plays for us, and he makes us want to play for him." How many more Bronco players have to acknowledge that Tim Tebow has a leadership quality that makes the entire team better? At what point will you doubters acknowledge that leadership can be a rising tide that lifts all boats?
4. Can someone more informed than me let me know why we are getting almost no production from the tight end position??? If we are truly modeling a lot of our offense around Tim Tebow's Florida scheme, then surely our tight ends would play a more prominent role. Is it that Tebow doesn't see them? Are they busy blocking? Are they not getting separation? Can someone please tell me?
5. Ok, this is going to be my favorite point out of all of them. Has anyone noticed how the debate, and the terms of the debate keep changing???
- Argument #1 = Tim Tebow's throwing motion will cause him to turn the ball over too many times. His elongated motion will allow him to get picked off by DB's and have the ball stripped by defensive linemen. This argument against Tim Tebow was the very first one and almost nobody is using it now. In other words, I think it has been defeated.
- Argument #2 = Tim Tebow's fullback mentality will not work in the NFL. I remember several commentators say that running the ball "may have worked in college but it won't work in the NFL." The naysayers said Tebow will get hurt and also wouldn't be as effective because of the speed of the NFL game. This was the second argument that almost nobody is talking about now, because it has been defeated.
- Argument #3 = Tim Tebow can't read NFL defenses. I've got news for you, you don't throw 8 TD's, 1 INT, and run the ball effectively for a sustained amount of time if you can't read defenses. For a player that has as much playing time as a rookie, I think Tebow is reading defenses just fine. Even this argument is starting to die down.
- Argument #4 = Tim Tebow can't throw. This is the latest argument, and one that might take longer to prove. In my opinion, this argument will be proven wrong also. Tebow has improved in every aspect of his game, including his throwing.
My point = People arguing against Tim Tebow keep changing their argument. Perhaps that argument is built on shifting sand?
6. Dennis Allen is a coach I definitely don't want to lose. If our defense sustains it's torrid pace, is there any doubt that he starts getting looks as a head coach? John Fox is someone who is starting to grow on me but I wonder to what extent he or Dennis Allen is responsible for our defensive play calling. Whoever is responsible for tweaking the way Von Miller has been used the last few games also deserves kudos.
7. At some point, we are going to have to let Tebow throw the ball 30 times in a game in order to win. My hunch is that this game is going to be against the Patriots, coming up. Anyone else have any guesses?
8. Is it just me or are network cameras constantly showing John Fox on the sideline having problems with his headset and the little box that is attached to his belt? John, is it just a nervous habit or does your equipment suck? It wasn't as bad yesterday but most of the time he looks like a mess out there.
9. Quote of the day from yesterday: "He does throw the slant routes and the post routes really well." Dan Fouts after Tim Tebow threw a TD to Decker. This actually had me laughing. I thought Tim Tebow couldn't throw anything really well???!!!
10. I had a guest over at my house yesterday to watch the Bronco game with me. This guest is a friend of Tim Tebow's parents (Bob and Pam). During the game, my guest was in frequent texting contact with Bob Tebow. It was fascinating. I won't go into the details of the texts but there are two observations (that are obvious) that I will make. The Tebow's are at all of Tim's games and have a hard time handling the negative attention that Tim receives (which parent wouldn't). Second, Bob is very aware of the X's and O's of a football game. You would have to think that Tim Tebow having to prove himself as a legit QB is like groundhog day to his parents. They have been through it before.
11. As an avid college football fan I am always looking for future Broncos. Since we keep winning, I have to keep adjusting what I think will be our draft position. I'm starting to wonder if we will pick sometime after #20 now. Here are some players I have my eye on for #20 and later:
- Chase Minnifield CB
- Mark Barron SS
- Devon Still DT
- Kevin Reddick OLB
- Alfonzo Dennard CB
Do you guys have any 20 and later suggestions? I'm assuming Kirkpatrick, Claiborne, Richardson, Kuechly and the rest will be gone.
12. Am I the only one highly impressed with the Chiefs this year? They have lost almost all of their best players and have still managed to play teams tough. Can you imagine how good they might be if they get a legit QB (not Cassel or Orton) and bring all their injured players back next year? Pretty scary if you ask me.
