The Tigers added Prince Fielder this offseason to team with Miguel Cabrera as the most dynamic lefty-righty duo in baseball. With those two aces in the third and fourth holes in the lineup, whomever hits at the top of the order should not only see a major increase in their runs scored total, they should also see plenty of pitches to hit given that pitchers will not want to face Cabrera or Fielder with the bases full of runners. The leadoff man figures to be Austin Jackson, who I profiled in Fowler vs. Jackson, while the #2 man in the order very well could be Brennan Boesch who is the subject of today's piece.
Boesch hit .256 with 14 homers and 67 RBI as a rookie, and in year two the third round draft choice followed up those numbers with a .286 average, 16 homers and 54 RBI in 26 fewer at-bats. Clearly those aren't numbers anyone is going to get too excited about (that may be part of the reason that over at Fleaflicker Boesch really hasn't been added in that many leagues). Still, his spot in the batting order, if he does indeed hold on to the two hole, has some folks pretty darn excited about Boesch. Is that excitement warranted? Let's take a look.
The most obvious issue with Boesch through two seasons is the Houdini act he's pulled off in the second half of both seasons. I'm not talking about him pulling a rabbit out of his hat either. I'm talking about making himself vanish into thin air. Check out his two year pre/post All-Star break totals. It's enough to make even someone with a strong constitution vomit.
2010 1st half: .342/.397/.593 with 12 homers and 49 RBI 2010 2nd half: .163/.237/.222 with two homers and 18 RBI
2011 1st half: .306/.360/.490 with 12 homers and 44 RBI 2011 2nd half: .219/.288/.368 with four homers and 10 RBI
Maybe we'll look back on those numbers 10 years from now and get a good laugh, but for now those numbers scare the bejezus out of me. Here are the combined numbers.
1st half: .321-24-93-91-56 with a .911 OPS 2ns half: .182-6-28-33-6 with a .526 OPS
In the first half he's Matt Holliday but in the second half he is Ramon Santiago. You have to be concerned with those two sets of numbers, at least until he goes out and does something in the second half of the season. Again, it might be a sample size issue – he could hit .300 with 15 homers in the second half this season – but for now the numbers are scarier than a Wes Craven flick.
Boesch is a player that struggles against right-handed pitching. Oh he's not awful with a .254/.315/.425 slash line, but oddly, he is stronger against left-handed pitching (since he's a left-handed batter) with a .319/.380/.471 slash line. Think of it like this. Versus righties he is Johnny Damon while he's Dustin Pedroia versus lefties. Given that most hurlers are obviously right-handed, that's another level of concern.
Some other facts.
Boesch doesn't strike out very often, but since he also doesn't walk a lot his career 0.41 BB/K ratio is just a teenie bit below the league average. Moreover, his OBP of .330 in his two seasons is only four points better than the league average during that time. It should also be noted that though he is looked at as a potential power bat in some circles that his .436 slugging percentage is only .010 points better than the league average for outfielders. In addition, Boesch doesn't hit too many balls in the air, his GB/FB ratio of 1.12 is smack dab on the league average, while his 10.7 percent HR/F rate is only about a percentage point high. Boesch also has shown little stolen base speed with 12 steals in two seasons, an if he does indeed hit second in the Tigers' order you can't think he is going to be getting the green light very often with the two thumpers coming up. As for his ability to help in the batting average category he did show a .027 point improvement in year two, but through 892 at-bats he has hit just .269. Moreover, his .306 BABIP mark is just about league average, and so far he hasn't been anywhere near the league average in the line drive category with a career mark of just 16.6 percent (the league average is 19-20 percent).
To summarize, Boesch has roughly league average ability in his BB/K rate, GB/FB ratio and HR/F ratio. He's also produced, roughly, a league average batting mark, OBP and SLG. He also doesn't steal many bases or hit that many line drives. In short, through two seasons, Boesch hasn't shown himself to be anything other than a guy that's going to need 550 at-bats to be a mixed league option because nothing he does stands out. If he can spend the entire year hitting second in the Tigers order that could all change. It could also change if he doesn't turn into an absolute weakling in the second half of the season. However, pay close attention to the fact that, up until now, Boesch hasn't shown himself to possesses on outstanding skill. Be careful of expecting too much from the third year player.

A "Pile On" For Oath Keepers Activists! Oregon Runs The Ball!
A "Pile On" For Oath Keepers Activists! Oregon Runs The Ball!
Back in September 2013 Raphael O'Neil posted at PandaUnite about the town of Coos Bay, Oregon:
City Council Vote: U.S. Liberty No Business of Coos Bay, Oregon
On Tuesday September 17th 2013, the Mayor and City Council of Coos Bay, Oregon unanimously voted down a resolution not only condemning, but clarifying the duty of city officials to interpose against, the possibility of indefinite military detention without trial (on mere suspicion of terrorist affiliations) opened up for Coos Bay residents by the federal government's passage of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act.
At Tuesday's meeting, Tom McKirgan (S.W. Oregon Coordinator of Oath Keepers) and Rob Taylor (of the activist group Coos County Watchdog) were only allowed a total of three minutes each in which to present their "Restoring Constitutional Governance Resolution," with Mayor Crystal Shoji aggressively chastising them, saying they had already expressed their views at a September 12th work session – one which neither she nor two thirds of the councilors voting had chosen to attend. Councilor Mark Daily, who had arranged, yet neglected to attend the work session, made the initial motion to vote against the resolution.
<end quoted passage from article>
Then in October 2013 the SPLC took aim at Tom McKirgan and his Southwest Oregon Oath Keepers with a hit piece that puts Tom on the map as a true liberty fighter. Look at the vile childishness with which SPLC regards Tom McKirgan and Oath Keepers:
Oath Keepers Pushing Oregonians to Resist Gov't Concentration Camps
David Neiwert on October 18, 2013, Posted in 'Patriot' Groups, Antigovernment, Extremist Propaganda
A statewide organization of conspiracy-peddling Oath Keepers has been gaining traction in small-town Oregon by convincing a series of county-level officials that they need to speak out against the enactment of the National Defense Appropriations Act by passing official resolutions defending the constitutional rights of their citizens.
Among the concerns that these county officials cite is the alleged threat, raised by the Oath Keeper activists who promote these resolutions, that federal authorities are planning to round up American citizens and incarcerate them in concentration camps.
EA Note: At this point in the article they have inserted this video:
The SPLC volley then went wild. Here is more from their article: Quoting:
Most of these resolutions are the handiwork of Tom McKirgan, who heads up the Oregon chapter of the Oath Keepers from his home in rural Coquille. He first convinced the Coos County commissioners – after months of activism – to pass a resolution in late July opposing the NDAA because of its supposed violations of the Fourth Amendment's requirements for due process. (The national Oath Keepers organization also promotes NDAA-related conspiracy theories on its website.)
McKirgan has been working in tandem with activists from the state chapter of People against the National Defense Authorization Act (PANDAA) to promote the resolutions. And while PANDAA's portion of the presentations have remained within the realm of the rational concerns about civil liberties related to the bill, when the Oath Keepers have spoken up, it has veered into the wildly conspiratorial.
Among the dire warnings these commissioners heard during the process were allusions to the Oath Keepers' oft-stated belief that the NDAA creates the legal pretext for federal authorities to begin rounding up right-wing citizens and placing them in concentration camps, or that they might begin labeling Tea Party leaders "enemy combatants" and start assassinating them. At times – particularly in Klamath County – it seemed some of the commissioners shared those fears.
<end quoted passage from article>
Well that was a month ago. Today Tom and his NDAA Brigade got a break when a local newspaper published an op-ed written by a Battery of Our Guys. Here are the guilty parties:
Richard D. Fry, General Counsel of The Patriot Coalition; Connie Martin; Tom McKirgan, Regional Director of Oregon Oath Keepers; Steve Noorlander, Chair of the Americans for Prosperity of Coos County; Shane Ozbun, Oregon State Team Leader of PANDAA; Jason Payne, Chair of the Republican Party of Coos County; Stewart Rhodes, Founder of Oath Keepers; and Rob Taylor, Founder of the Coos County Watchdog.
Yes, even Stewart Rhodes got in on that one. And The World published it. Here is the article's link, where you'll want to go leave your comments. And remember, your comments will be monitored by the SPLC. Fire for effect. Do it now!
From that op-ed:
Your View: NDAA sections threaten freedom
Are Americans safe from the threat of indefinite detention and should local representatives do something to ensure the right to trial?
The Department of Defense's budget is funded with the annual passage of The National Defense Authorization Act. With each year's passing Congress adds more provisions to the law, compounding the already controversial nature of its intent. In 2012, Congress added Sections 1021 and 1022 to the bill, which codified the indefinite military detention without charge or trial of citizens for the first time in American history.
The application of the "law of war" covers all U.S. citizens. The law purports to reaffirm the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), which was a poor substitute for a legitimate declaration of war for the invasion of Afghanistan.
The NDAA has three targeting profiles describing persons against whom military force may be applied….
Meanwhile groups like Oath Keepers and PANDAA are trying to convince local boards and councils to pass a resolution titled The Restoring Constitutional Governance Resolution that opposes the specific illegal segments of the NDAA.
Regretfully, the self-proclaimed uninformed and constitutionally illiterate city councilors of Coos Bay rejected their sworn duty and failed to pass this resolution against these unconstitutional provisions. They refused to do the very least of their duties and vote on it, but that would have created a record of their failure… Tom McKirgan of Oath Keepers intends to file a city initiative against the NDAA, in conjunction with members of PANDAA, Americans for Prosperity of Coos County, The Republican Party of Coos County and The Coos County Watchdog. People who want to take back their rights and get involved can sign up at www.CoosCountyWatchdog.com.
<end quoted passage from article>
Please do go read the whole article and then draw your pen and leave a comment thanking The World for publishing it and thanking Oregon Oath Keepers for keeping Ignorance at bay in Coos Bay. A thousand comments by our side will send a grave message to some replaceable City Councilmen.
Additionally, here are some targets for speaking truth to ignorance-in-authority:
Concerned citizens are urged to phone/email the Mayor and City Council using numbers and email addresses at http://coosbay.org/government#mayor-and-city-council (although Dr. Muenchrath should not be phoned at the medical clinic number listed for him). City Manager Rodger Craddock and Police Chief Gary McCullough can also be emailed at firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com

How is the Smoking Dog Bistro in Vancouver?
- c
- curiousgeo Mar 9, 2007 04:00 PM
I'm looking for a nice, moderately priced bistro for myself, wife and teenage son to have dinner. I came across the Smoking Dog website and it looks promising. Any thoughts on this restaurant? The Chef and the Carpenter might also work, but I know nothing about its menu, just heard about it in passing. For reference, Cafe de Paris used to be one of our favorite places in Vancouver some years ago. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Smoking dog is good. The Coquilles St Jacques is my fave. Also try Jules Bistro, yummy steak frite.
I second the vote for Smoking Dog - great food and reasonably priced. Another of our new favourites is the Gramercy Grill on Arbutus at 11th Ave - similar prices to Smoking Dog and outstanding food and impeccable service. Definitely lots of young-adult friendly menu items.
I didn't like the smoking dog - the food wasn't so hot and way too expensive for what we got - I was disappointed because i had heard so many good things...
I do like it but its not in the same league as Bistro Pastis or Crocodile. You may like to try those.
I had a good experience at The Smoking Dog last fall - good food, reasonably priced, decent service. I'd go back. I seem to remember having a good steak frites and nice hearty glass of red.
Haven't been to the Cafe de Paris for years, but it used to offer great steak frites. The food at the Smoking Dog used to be pretty good, but my friends and I stopped going there a few years ago because of the terrible service, and because there are better French food options in Vancouver. I agree with Moz, Bistro Pastis is very good, and has a lovely setting. Gramercy food was kind of pre-fab-ish. A great secret is Salade Des Fruits -- a small, very authentic bistro, excellent value for the money, best moules frites in town, but it doesn't have an upscale setting, and you must reserve well in advance, and ask for a table 'inside', not in the foyer. If you're willing to hike over to West Van, La Regalade is, bar none, the best homestyle French food around -- their Beef Bourguignon and mashed potatoes are 'oh my god' good! If you're not tied to having french fare, Feenies is a really happening bistro-style restaurant, with delicious, innovative food, good service, and a very happening atmosphere.

Scaling down: Global warming will make fish smaller
Researchers looked at computer models to see how warmer, and thus less oxygenated, seas affected more than 600 species of fish.
Sun, Sep 30, 2012 at 01:07 PM
Fish inhabiting the Indian Ocean were the most affected, reducing by 24 percent, followed by counterparts in the Atlantic and then the Pacific, with tropical waters worst hit. (Photo: Jay Directo/AFP)
A hearty fillet of fish, already a rare treat because of over-trawled oceans, will become even more infrequent in the future when global warming starts to reduce fish size, scientists said on Sunday.
Researchers looked at computer models to see how warmer, and thus less oxygenated, seas affected more than 600 species of fish.
Compared to 2000, the maximum attainable body weight of these fish declined by between 14 and 24 percent by 2050.
Fish inhabiting the Indian Ocean were the most affected, reducing by 24 percent, followed by counterparts in the Atlantic (20 percent) and then the Pacific (14 percent), with tropical waters worst hit.
"It's a constant challenge for fish to get enough oxygen from water to grow, and the situation gets worse as fish get bigger," said Daniel Pauly of the University of British Columbia in western Canada, who first raised the warming-and-growth link 30 years ago.
"A warmer and less-oxygenated ocean, as predicted under climate change, would make it more difficult for bigger fish to get enough oxygen, which means they will stop growing more."
The investigation appears in the journal Nature Climate Change.
The model used the so-called A2 scenario, which sees an average rise in global atmospheric — not sea — temperatures of 6.12 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100 compared to 2000.
Until recently, this would have been considered a pessimistic scenario, but many climatologists today say it is realistic in the light of a relentless rise in fossil-fuel emissions.
Under the A2 scenario, the sea bottom temperatures of the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern and Arctic Oceans would rise at average rates of between 0.2 F and 0.066 F per decade up to 2050.
As those oceans warm, their oxygen levels would also see slight but progressive declines, a measurement expressed in a unit called millimoles.
The average fall, per decade, would range from 0.1 millimoles per cubic meter in the Arctic to 1.1 millimoles per cubic metre in the Atlantic.
"Although the projected rate of change in environmental temperature and oxygen content appears to be small, the resulting changes in maximum body size are unexpectedly large," said the paper.

Best Netflix Apps for Managing Your Queue on the Go
The official app has one gigantic leg up over third-party competitors on both iPhone and Windows 7: the ability to stream movies directly to your device. This feature alone sets the original apart from the rest, but, in a baffling move, the official app lacks the ability to manage personal queues.
This strange omission allows third-party apps to pick up plenty of slack -- helping the user to browse films, add them to their queue, and read film reviews. We've rounded up the most prominent third-party Netflix helpers and broken them down by what they do best, so you can pick the one that's right for you.
Top Pick for All Phone Operating Systems:
Movies by FlixsterWhile Flixster's primary service is a showtime guide for local movie theaters (a role it fills fantastically), it also hosts basic Netflix drag-and-drop queue management capabilities. 'Movies by Flixster' is great for those who spend as much time watching and reviewing movies in actual theaters as they do at home. (Imagine that!)
iPhlixThe iPhone users among us adore 'iPhlix.' The app's high-resolution presentation is designed specifically for the iPhone 4's Retina display, and the drag-and-drop queue management is killer. Beyond good looks, iPhlix also boasts a rich feature set that rivals that of other paid apps, like social compatibility, user reviews, and Blu-ray and Instant search.
MovieFlickThis fully featured queue-management app is one of the best on the market. While its $1.99 cost may turn some users off, it has some great features: drag-and-drop arrangement; an in-depth, actor- or director-based search function; the ability to rate movies; and, for burgeoning critics, Rotten Tomatoes connectivity.
NetQFree'NetQFree' lets users quickly scan the streaming films that are about to expire, which is great for those who want to catch up on their Watch Instantly queue before a given film disappears. Users can also check out future releases in both Instant and disc categories, as well as the New York Times critics' picks for some well-regarded recommendations.
Movela Netflix Queue ManagerWhile pricey, this app is the best bet for the BlackBerry users who crave total access to the Netflix library. It allows in-depth browsing and searching, as well as queue management.

HOUSTON -- It didn't take long for Craig Dickman to hear something interesting about natural gas in the transportation business at the CeraWeek energy conference, which kicked off Monday.Dickman's company, Breakthrough Fuel, helps companies set up fleets for natural gas and other alternative fuels. What got his attention was a description of the Chinese trucking market by Xizhou Zhou, director of China Energy for IHS, the sponsor of CeraWeek.Just four or five years ago, China had virtually no heavy-duty trucks running on natural gas, Zhou told the audience of energy executives from around the world. Now, he said, there are perhaps as many as 70,000 big rigs there running on natural gas. The Chinese fleets are using liquefied natural gas, not the compressed gas more commonly used in the United States by operators like The T, Fort Worth's transit operation, in city buses.LNG is so much cheaper in China than diesel, Zhou said, that truckers can recover the added cost of converting to the fuel in less than a year. The transition is aided by between 300 and 400 LNG fueling stations built to supply those trucks."I think people here will be underestimating, not overestimating, gas in transportation," Dickman said. Use in the long-haul market has been limited by the lack of a large engine required by big rigs, he said. But a 12-liter version from Cummins expected by August should be a big boost. PACCAR, which produces Peterbilt and Kenworth brand trucks at its Denton plant, announced last year that it would use the engine.CeraWeek is designed as an overall energy conference, covering oil, natural gas, coal, renewables, petrochemicals and electricity. But if the meeting's first day is any indication, natural gas is the center of attention, and it all comes back to the "shale gale" that started in the Barnett Shale in North Texas.Natural gas in transportation doesn't start and stop with vehicles."We believe we are at a tipping point for gas in shipping," said Michael Stoppard, IHS managing director of research. Within 15 years, he said, LNG is forecast to replace about 20 percent of the fuel oil used by ocean-going ships.Such optimistic outlooks are music to the ears of energy producers, which have been hammered in recent years by low natural gas prices driven down by the rush of supply into the U.S. market. And Stoppard had another comment that should cheer producers."2013 is going to be the starting year of a rebalancing in global gas markets," he said. U.S. prices are "unsustainably low," in the range of $3 to $3.50 per 1,000 cubic feet, Stoppard said, even as LNG in Asia sells for the equivalent of $20."It's an enormous price difference," he said, and it should work to raise the price of natural gas in North America. Assuming normal weather, IHS expects gas at Louisiana's Henry Hub, a benchmark price, to rise to about $4 this year and $5 next year.The first LNG export terminal in the United States isn't scheduled to go into operation until late 2015 or early 2016, Stoppard said. But by the end of the decade he expects the nation to be exporting 6 billion cubic feet a day, or just a bit more than the Barnett Shale currently produces. While that will help narrow the price difference, he said, "It's a very, very long and slow process."Jim Fuquay, 817-390-7552Twitter: @jimfuquay

Health Tip: Help Prevent Ice Skating Accidents
(HealthDay News) -- Ice skating is a winter ritual for many children in colder climates, but unless precautions are taken it can be fraught with the possibility of injury.
The American Academy of Pediatrics offers these ice skating safety guidelines:
Never allow children to skate on any surface that is not approved for skating. It may not be safe. Call local officials to find out where skating is allowed.
Make sure your child skates in the same direction as the crowd, not against it.
Don't allow children to dart across the ice in front of other skaters.
Never allow children to skate alone, or when they're chewing gum or eating candy.
Encourage your child to wear a helmet while skating.

Summoning is an old trick for Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Edition players, and that's no exception to Pathfinder players either. The ability to bring a ton of crazy beasts in, under your control, is undeniably fun.
But what if you could specialize in the ability? What if that's pretty much all you did - and you did it really well? Fear not, this is indeed a possibility - thanks to the Summoner.
Summoners are characters who almost exclusively concentrate their talents on summoning creatures and supporting them in battle. They do this in three ways:
- They have a host of spells that allow them to bolster their summons' stats
- They can use Summon Monster several times a day, not as a spell, but as a spell-like ability that falls outside normal slots
- They can conjure up a personalized Eidolon to fight for them
This last point is probably the most exciting for most players, as the Eidolon is essentially a second character for the Summoner: it's a powerful beast that can, with some tinkering, do dang near anything - including things outside the Summoner's field of expertise.
What those things are depends on the player. When the Summoner is created and goes up levels, his Eidolon gains a number of evolution points that allow it to adopt new abilities. These can include higher stats, improved natural armor for more AC, additional attacks, new limbs, feats and strange abilities that can do a lot of damage in battle. Eidolons can be as varied as a small, human-sized combatant that's little different from a Fighter to a giant worm that can engulf enemies whole.
In order to maximize your Eidolon's abilities, you need to have a general idea of what you want out of the beast. Take a look at the list of evolutions available, then pick out ones which best fit your general picture of the Eidolon. Doing this all at the beginning is much better than haphazardly choosing evolutions as you go along, especially since some don't open up until later levels. You may find yourself regretting your evolution choices if you use them up every level.
There's just one problem with the abilities of the Summoner: the Eidolon can't be used at the same time as the Summon Monster spells. Consequently, you'll have to pick between the two - or take Summon Monster as actual spells - each day. It's often best to save your Summon Monster spells for large brawls and keep the Eidolon out most of the time, though vary your choice based on the circumstances. The Summoner's monsters can stay out a lot longer than usual, so you have a big more wiggle room for deciding.
The Summoner himself is actually of lesser importance to most combats. It is ideal to choose spells that will support your summons while staying out of the fray yourself. Depending on the ruling of your DM, your feats should always include Spell Focus, as that allows you to take Improved Summoning. Other feats should, typically, focus on boosting your Summoner's AC. Skills and equipment vary on the specific build, though all Summoners should concentrate their stat points on Charisma, Dexterity and Constitution.
Summoners are, unfortunately, something of one-trick ponies. Without their summons, they're either completely backup characters or utterly useless. Unless you anticipate that you'll get into a ton of battles, it's best to have another class do your summoning or split your Summoner levels with some other class that's more varied.

Community microgrids raise questions about the role of the utility franchise, versus the free market.
A Utility Executives' Guide to 2007: A Cloudy Forecast
Experts predict the top issues that utilities will have to weather this year, and beyond.
storm for nuclear energy development, according to Mark Herlach, a partner and head of the nuclear practice group at Sutherland Asbill & Brennan in Washington, D.C.
"The outlook for nuclear-power development is quite good," Herlach says. "Significant drivers in the world market—concerns about oil and gas prices, global warming, and energy security—have changed the dynamics for nuclear power. The revival is real; the question is how many people will take the plunge and move forward in the short term."
Developments in 2007 will clarify the answer to that question. Of the approximately 29 Generation III nuclear-reactor projects being considered for sites in the United States, some 17 might submit license applications to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in 2007—a huge milestone, considering the years of preparatory work that go into a nuclear license application. Some of these projects likely will be canceled, however, once the first six projects are selected for federal loan guarantees and up to $500 million in "standby support" authorized under EPACT.
Additionally, 2007 will see major progress in nuclear-fuel enrichment capacity in the United States. Early this year, NRC expects to complete its review of USEC Inc.'s application to build a commercial enrichment facility at the site of the former DOE Lead Cascade centrifuge demonstration plant in Piketon, Ohio, which USEC manages under a five-year license. And last year, construction began at the National Enrichment Facility, a new $1.5 billion gas-centrifuge complex in Lea County, N.M., by a limited partnership including Europe's Urenco and U.S. utility companies Duke, Entergy, and Exelon.
Recent progress on nuclear-fuel enrichment, if nothing else, serves as a harbinger of things to come—particularly in the context of climate-change policy trends and the November 2006 elections. "People from both sides of the aisle passed EPACT," Herlach says. "[Sen. Jeff] Bingaman [D, N.M.] was just as supportive of the National Enrichment Facility as [Sen. Pete] Domenici [R-N.M.]. Prospects are good for bipartisan support."
Such support has strengthened enough to revive hopes for Generation IV approaches— i.e., "fast" reactors and thorium-fuel designs that could reduce waste-disposal issues and bring other benefits. The DOE launched the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership in 2006, and solicited expressions of interest to build an advanced burner reactor.
But while support for nuclear energy in America has strengthened, opposition has not disappeared. Ongoing delays in the Yucca Mountain waste repository, for example, continue creating uncertainties about long-term alternatives for spent-fuel storage. After two decades and nearly $7 billion of investment, the federal government still is working on a license application for the Yucca Mountain site, and does not expect to complete such an application until 2008.
Real Value: The Investor's View
Veteran utilities analyst Leonard Hyman believes he knows what utility investors want. In his editorial in the Rudden Energy Strategies Report, published late last year by Black & Veatch, he wrote, "What I am proposing is that investors in utilities may have return expectations in the 7 to 9 percent range per year, in nominal terms. If inflation heated up, the expectations would rise, and that would present a problem for

This is an absolute must see documentary!
This will make an activist out of everyone!
Pretty good movie, as Bakan's book was pretty good, but the best understanding of this is to be gotten from an economist like Michael Perelman (The Invention of Capitalism). Corporations, today in America, are simply institutionalized mayhem and murder as corporations from oil companies, softdrink companies and Big Agra routinely hire assassins to murder labor organizers and protestors. (Important to understand that it is no coincidence that London is the speculators capital of the world, while the oldest continuous existing corporation is the City of London Corporation.) And the ultimate corporation? The major banks which have concentrated ownership of the rest of the major corporations!
Ten years I've had to wait to see this.
The content is worth seeing, but we might need new copies of the DVDs due to wear and tear.
It can be a bit dry in places but I totally recommend it to everyone.
I watched it over the course of a couple nights. It really is a message that must get out to everyone!!
Fairly sterile way to throw ALOT of information at you, but it gets the job done. I now understand that "conspiracy-theorist" kid back when I was younger. This 2-disc Special Edition, with hours of extra stuff is the one to watch.
We are the 99%......
Loved this movie. Good selection of people speaking about the topics. Hope they show this movie to kids in school. The second disc is also a treasure trove of information and interviews, IMO.
This is a very thorough and profound look at the evolution of corporations and their effect on our lives. Here and in many other films that deal with corporate power is a recurring theme of "being consumers at the cost of being citizens." This documentary certainly highlights some examples of how a private business can often impact the daily activities of us as indivisuals and citizens. You don't have to agree with everything they say in this film, but you've certainly got to wonder...

Diabetes and Your Child: Safe Exercise
Like food and insulin, exercise plays a large role in managing your child's blood sugar. It helps reduce the amount of glucose (sugar) buildup in the blood. This buildup is called high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). But too much exercise can cause your child's blood sugar to get too low. This is called low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). That's why it's important to monitor your child's blood sugar closely when he or she exercises. You will have to balance exercise with food and insulin to make sure your child is in his or her target range for blood sugar.
Prevention Is Key
The best way to manage your child's blood sugar during exercise is to plan for it. These are some other things you can do to help keep your child safe during exercise:
Check your child's blood sugar before and after activity.
Have your child eat a snack before exercising when his or her blood sugar is below target range. Try half a sandwich, crackers and milk, a piece of fruit, or an energy bar.
Make sure your child's emergency glucagon kit is nearby. Glucagon is a shot that raises blood sugar quickly.
Do not let your child exercise if his or her blood sugar is above the target range. Instead, test for ketones. If ketone levels are high he or she may need to be taken to the hospital. (Your healthcare team will talk more about this with you.)
Playing Sports
Blood sugar can get low when your child exercises. Lows can last up to
Tell coaches that your child has diabetes.
Give your child's coach a list of low blood sugar symptoms. Also, give the coach instructions explaining what to do when the child has a low. Be sure the coach knows when to call 911.
Pack high-carb snacks for your child. This could be a granola bar and a sports drink.
Be sure your child has fast-acting sugar, such as glucose tablets or a snack, on hand in case his or her blood sugar gets low.
Ask the coach to keep snacks, glucose tablets, and glucagon in the team sports bag. Make sure the coach or another adult is trained to use the glucagon.
Do not allow your child to practice or play in a game if his or her blood sugar is too high and ketones are present.
Playing It Safe with Friends
Your child's blood sugar can get low when he or she is away from home. Here are some tips to keep your child from having lows when he or she is away from home:
Tell the parents of your child's friends about your child's diabetes. If your child doesn't mind, you can also teach his or her friends about diabetes.
Teach your child's friends and their parents about diabetes and how to spot and treat lows. Treating lows means using meals, snacks, and fast-acting sugar sources, such as glucose tablets or juice, to raise blood sugar back up to target range.
Pack prepared meals and snacks, when possible. This will make it easier for other parents to help your child avoid lows. Include a note telling the parent when your child should eat.
Talk to the parents about the dangers of severe low blood sugar. Also, tell parents when to call 911.

Meridian, Miss. Local families are wondering if they will be able to fully celebrate Halloween this year.
Pumpkins, ghosts, and goblins are in place to greet trick-or-treaters as they make their way from one front door to the other. But the question is, will trick-or-treaters have a chance to see the decorations in person while picking up their candy.
"Well, we don't have a contingency plan set in place," Meridian Cultural Affairs Coordinator Casey Null says. "I do know there are several churches have fall festivals. The mall is having their event that they host every year. So there are other things that people can participate in."
Trick-or-treaters within the city limits of Meridian can trick or treat from 5 to 8 p.m., according to a city ordinance. Null says the 8:00 cut off is to keep door bells from ringing too late, especially since there is school on Friday.
"We do have extra officers that will be on duty just to make sure that everyone is safe and secure," Null points out. "And so, we just want to make sure that everyone is out, having a good time. But is able to safe while doing it as well."
Should it rain, Null says it's okay to grab an umbrella and continue trick or treating. Just continue to be mindful of your surroundings.
"We just want everyone to have a really good time and to be safe and to watch out for one another," Null adds.
Bonita Lakes Mall will host its annual trick-or-treat event at 6 p.m. Children ages 12 and under are invited to participate. Adults in the mall are asked not to wear costumes.

Kramer Experience: U create the pizza tableside; we bring you the ingredients & you let your imagination run wild. Kids are dressed up with chef hats & aprons for the unforgettable pizza dining experience?
Traditional: U tell us, & Pizza Dude staff build it
Heres how I like my pizza. A little more of this, not so much of that, & spread that on ½ of the pizza.
Step 1: Choose your fresh made dough (White, Wheat or Gluten-Free)
We use high speed conveyor ovens to guarantee you the best quality pizza in a short time. Through countless trial and error, we have our oven temperature and conveyor speeds set to ensure a consistently, great pizza always. No more burnt pizzas!
After watching countless reruns of Seinfeld for years & years, it finally dawned on us. For once Kramer had a brilliant idea, except of course, allowing customers to place their pizza pies in burning hot ovens.
Hence the birth of Pizza Dude & our motto, "U Make It, Pizza Dude Bakes It". If U want to be a part of this industry game changer, just ask for the "Kramer Experience". And for the kids, we'll dress u up in our baker's hat & apron so your family & friends can post the next "Pizza Dude" on Facebook. Why not, it's free!
The Dudes are really pushing "U MAKE IT" rather than "we make it". Its a fun meal, not just a meal. By dressing up the children in Pizza Dude chef hats & aprons, our pizza dinner becomes a family activity and an experience the children will always remember. Make the pizza at your table and choose the toppings slice by slice.

Southern Sierra Nevada and Owens Lake
high resolution 1000 pixel-wide image (890 KB JPEG)
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station looked obliquely down at the steep eastern flank of California's Sierra Nevada. Even from space the topography is impressive—the range drops nearly 11,000 feet from Mt. Whitney (under cloud, arrow), the highest mountain in the lower 48 states (14,494 ft), to the floor of Owens Valley (the elevation of the town of Lone Pine is 3,760 ft). The Sierra Nevada landscape is well known for deep, glacially scoured valleys, like Kern Canyon west of Mt. Whitney.
Astronaut photograph ISS006-E-24783 was taken February 6, 2003, with an Electronic Still Camera equipped with 180 mm lens and is provided by the Earth Sciences and Image Analysis Laboratory at Johnson Space Center.

- GREAT!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/21/2014We were in town on a nice mountain weekend. I did some research on nice restaurants and figured I'd give this place a try. It was ten times better than expected! I can't remember the waiters name but we was great. Everything he recommended to us was AMAZING! The fried goat cheese with the tomato jam was one of the best things I've ever tasted! The caramel drizzle chicken with candied pecans were also fantastic. The piano playing was beautiful and the environment was even better. We went around 8 and got the back room mostly to ourselves. It was very quiet and romantic! The perfect first night of a great weekend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sweet spotMisterTJDined on 11/8/2014Great food, great service, great ambiance. The piano music was a perfect touch. We will definitely visit again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Embarrassed hostrhynoDined on 11/1/2014Our evening to Bistro 109 was set for entertaining out of town guests. We wanted to let them experience something local not the cookie cutter chain establishments while visiting in Sevierville. I thought a quaint little local spot rated , supposedly, 5 star would be grrat! Our hostess and restaurants manager was quite rude about a few basic request. Our server was on her first night apparently and completely alone in the dining room and was not capable she was rude service was SLOW and food was cold upon arrival. Never ask about food or service had to ask for everything overall a terrible experience and embarrassing in front of my guest.
- OdorJabbaDined on 10/30/2014The restaurant smelled like fresh paint. The smell was a little overwhelming. The waitress explained they had repaired the roof. Food was great and the ambiance was otherwise very nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ChickieDined on 10/25/2014We celebrated our 40th anniversary there and it was fabulous!!! The food was great, the workers were friendly and couldn't help us enough and we will definitely go back the next time we are in the Smokey Mts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DrummerDined on 10/25/2014We are 3 hrs away & was looking for a nice place to have our anniversary dinner while in the area. Have to say it was beyond what we expected , very nice atmosphere , experienced & knowledgeable staff. The menu was great, It was hard to decide so we tried several things, Calamari as our app, Crab cakes, Scallops & Lobster ravioli as our entree. It was all excellent!!! The prices was very reasonable. We was very impressed , we have ate at almost every nice location in Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg area but have to say this was by far our favorite. We will definitely be stopping by everytime we are in the area!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 5 Year AnniversaryHappeltDined on 10/24/2014We came to pigeon forge to come up to the mountains. My wife and I were looking for a nice place to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. This place was perfect! Pigeon Forge is like a Myrtle Beach in the mountains. So it is filled with franchise after franchise not really our style. This place was great small little place with great food and nice people. We loved the idea on the menu of how you can order regular size portions or smaller size portions so you can try more of the menu!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden GemTeacherDined on 10/23/2014Loved it! Food, atmosphere was great. Music perfect-not too loud for conversation. We met some old college friends there for dinner while vacationing. We will definitely Be back. They were great to help accommodate our friend in a wheelchair with a service dog. Overall one of the best places around--we will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentJennylouVIPDined on 10/10/2014A group of six of us had a wonderful meal on a Friday night. The portion sizes were very generous, the food delicious, and I appreciated the chef working with a food allergy to create a delicious off menu option for one of us. We will return when we are back in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- luv2fishDined on 10/10/2014Although the staff and waiter were friendly, the quality of the food was mediocre at best. There were only a few tables with people so the waiter was not busy nor could the kitchen have been. Yet two of the items on the menu that were really " talked up" by the waiter were not available. One meal was overcooked. Our parents 50th anniversary dinner did NOT feel special at all.
- Great Food and Great StaffhdeneaseVIPDined on 10/4/2014My girlfriends and I were visiting from out of town and we found this neighborhood gem. The food was very good. The servers were very friendly and we even enjoyed the piano player as our Saturday evening entertainment. We would go again if in the area.Special Features:
- Exceeded my expectations!!Newlyweds2014Dined on 9/16/2014We went to Bistro 109 after getting married in the Smokies and it was the best choice we could have made!! The staff was accommodating and excited to be part of our special day. The server took several photos for us. They made a wedding cake for us. It was the best experience I could have asked for. I highly recommend Bistro 109!! It was an elegant experience and the food and drinks were delicious and affordable!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very EnjoyableTeriroseVIPDined on 9/15/2014Very quaint, non-chain, restaurant off the beaten path in downtown Sevierville. Good food, service and drinks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved everything about Bistro 109Bistro109Dined on 8/23/2014We just moved to the area and wanted a nice dinner at a non-chain restaurant. The staff, food, and piano entertainment were fantastic!Special Features:
- LOVE the BistroOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/22/2014The food was outstanding, the ambience quiet and intimate, and the staff couldn't have been more friendly. Can't wait for Bistro 109 in Maryville!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A must done while in the areaBCH21Dined on 8/16/2014This is a hidden gem. Great food and ambience not to mention the piano player is a draw as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/26/2014Online reservation was responded to promptly. The service by Zach & Sean was outstanding. Food was excellent.Special Features:
- What were they thinkingHHIMACDined on 6/25/2014I ordered the ribeye steak oscar and what I was brought was a flabby unseasoned baked thin steak. I asked the waiter if the steak was supposed to be baked and he said yes... it's different, but that's the way he does it. We'll never go back.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/16/2014Portions were quite small. The restaurant was empty. Their chairs are worn out, so you sink into a hole. NONE of the 6 of us would return.
- Save your money and your pallate.SashadogDined on 6/13/2014We had searched online and this establishment appeared to be a good choice. The restaurant was almost vacant, at 7:00pm on a Saturday night in Sevierville, TN. That should have been our first clue. The dinner rolls were of the brown and serve variety, with a bitter olive oil and pesto dipping sauce. This was the best course of the evening. We ordered "Fresh" crab stuffed Trout and I ordered Lamb Chops. The "Fresh Trout arrived, preceded by a very pronounced foul fishy odor that literally permeated the area. It was sent back. The lamb was tough but edible with little flavor. The wait staff tried their best. This was by far the worst meal we have ever had in this resort area and we've been here many times.
- Neighborhood GemOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/2/2014If you are visiting the area, you have to make time to eat here. The food is simply wonderful and the staff is extremely friendly and attentive. This will be a regular stop on our vacation from now on.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden gemBarnwoodyVIPDined on 5/16/2014Generally, we have found the food in Sevierville to be focused on quantity, not quality. So glad we found Bistro 109. Excellent gourmet dining at reasonable prices. We emjoyed every aspect of our meal. Pear and apple salad with blue cheese and balsamic dressing even had my teenagers stealing bites. Favorite entree was the caramel pecan chicken. I avoided it because it was breaded and fried but it was absolutely delicious. Also enjoyed the scallops with blueberry reduction and the citrus chicken. We were too full to try desserts. Portions were generous. Also enjoyed the piano man. Nice bar area too. Service good too despite reviews I read online. Please give this place a try!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Find ... Nice ExperienceGreatPlacesDined on 4/26/2014I've been in the Sevierville area for years & never knew Bistro 109 existed. We spotted it the other day & decided to go for a date night. The food was very good, as was the service & the atmosphere. I love to cook, so I'm fairly critical of a new dining experience. This was a great experience.Special Features:
- Amazing NightFoodluvaDined on 4/18/2014It was an amazing experience and the service was incredible. There was love piano music playing and everyone was very attentive to our needs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good for catching up with friendsPaulFoodDined on 4/5/2014Our dinner and time spent with friends was very good. The atmosphere was charming. This night they had a very capable piano player churning out a mix of tunes from the Beatles to Hymns. The food was good with a generous selection (and portion) on the menu. My only negative comment was that their dessert selection was somewhat limited. It would have been nice to have some pies and additional options. Overall I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling around Sevierville. Far above any chain restaurants offering. Easy to find as well, just point your car in the direction of the Court House. Give it a try and if you are in luck the piano will be sounding out some tunes to add to your dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OVERLY EXPENSIVEOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 3/24/2014PRICES WERE VERY EXPENSIVE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE AMOUNT OF FOOD WE GOT. MENU SAID THE SCALLOPS WERE EXTRA LARGE AND I GOT 5 VERY SMALL ONE BITE SCALLOPS FOR $18. DISAPPOINTING. WILL NOT GO BACK.Special Features:
- lucky findlzcam79Dined on 3/22/2014In a sea of fast food and fried food, I was excited to find this restaurant while visiting relatives in the area. The menu had plenty of options, including vegetarian and gluten free, which two of our party were. Food was very good, and it was nice that there were small and large portion sizes for several of the dishes offered on the menu. There was a piano player the night we dined at the restaurant, and it made for a very pleasant experience. Best food I had while in the Gatlinburg area, and I would definitely go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful Experience Amazing Food!!LovelyDinerDined on 3/15/2014My friends and I has an amazing experience at Bistro 109. The food was soooo good. Everyone really enjoyed their selection! Strongly recommend others to try this place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Absolutely delightful!SaraHEvelyn78Dined on 3/11/2014From the atmosphere, to the service, to the food (even dessert!) was wonderful! My fiance and I just recently ate their on a getaway to Gatlinburg, and although it was about 20 minutes out, it was AMAZING! I would say it is a must if you are in the area!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FindMRLCODined on 3/1/2014This is one of the Best restaurants we've found on our many trips to Gatlinburg. We had fabulous food great service and there was live piano to set the mood. They also offer half size plates at great prices so there is something for everyone.Special Features:
- Disappointed travelerTrav6492Dined on 2/15/2014Bad quality ingredients and very poor preparation of the food. Creative menu that looked like a great place to try when in town for vacation, but everything we tried was very badly prepared. Most of the food was over seasoned, so any real food flavor was drowned out. The rib-eye was paper thin and over cooked, and the scallops and calamari were bland and rubbery. The bread that was brought to the table about 20 minutes after being seated was cold and stale as well. The service matched the food as well. We got our first drinks and the food came on time, but were left waiting 20+ minutes on refills as we sat with empty glasses. For a city lacking in local restaurants, this one misses the spot badly.
- This place is quiet and cozy,OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 2/15/2014This place is quiet and cozy, romantic with a piano played in the background. Service was good, no problems there. The food, however, was lacking. I ordered Sun Dried Tomato Pasta and it was very bland. The noodles were over cooked, the sauce had no flavor and the pesto was not pesto. My partner ordered Cubed Steak and it was worse. I didn't try it but she said it was horrible..no flavor, the mushroom gravy was clumpy. I did try the mashed potatoes and they were dry and flavorless...just like everything else. I kept feeling like I was on an episode of Restaurant Impossible...the before tasting..Special Features:
- Valentine's Dining ExperiencegingergirlDined on 2/15/2014We loved the romantic music playing in the background and the diningroom was elegantly set. The menu choices were quite interesting and all sounded tasty. I had lobster ravioli with asparagus and my husband had ribeye steak which was all very good. We will definitely go back to try other appetizers and entrees! The desert was out of this world! We found the price to be very good for the quality of the food, service and atmosphere. Bistro 109 is a definitely, new favorite, place to go eat!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ValentineClydeVIPDined on 2/14/2014We used OpenTable to find a place while visiting Pigeon Forge. What a great surprise!!!! There was a live piano player, bar and very nice romantic fit for a Valentine dinning area. I really looked like a hero to my date/wife. Thanks for such a great gem and a find I'll be visiting again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It was a basic restaurantTheresaDined on 2/14/2014It was a basic restaurant to eat at. They were out of soda products, because machine wasn't working. The food was simple but good. The service was slow but overall I liked the atmosphere of the piano player on Valentine's Day. I would try it again.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Valentine's TreatOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 2/14/2014We had a wonderful dinner at 6:00. We were seated immediately and our drink order taken quickly. Our spinach dip with homemade chips appetizer was tasty. My husbands ribeye was cooked to perfection and he enjoyed the cheese grits and asparagus with it. I had the Maple-glazed duck and it was very good with the herbed couscous. We split a tiramisu served in a wineglass that was wonderful. The music and decor made for a very romantic evening. My only issue was that it was a little noisy around the bar where we were seated. I would ask to be seated further back into the restaurant next time I think. Overall we were very pleased and will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- need to try thisletsgoDined on 1/24/2014Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service. Reasonable prices. Will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- weekendfor2weekendfor2Dined on 1/3/2014We had to change our plans from dinner to lunch due to the weather change. But the food was great. Crabcake some of the best I have ever had. We even ordered Dinner to go once we tasted how good lunch. They over two size orders which is great for sharing. EnjoySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good meal, nice ambiance andOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 1/2/2014great music variety.My bonus daughter ate the chicken parmesan(she loved),my hubby ate the scallops(he enjoyed them even though he stepped outside of his box and tried the blueberry sauce that the meal comes with)and I had the portabella mushroom(I would have liked the mushroom a little less done but it was tasty).The adults enjoyed Little Black Dress pinot noir!I was a little critical of some things...I figure for the price of the entrees I have a right to be.The table linen and menu had some stains and while our waiter was nice he was not what I expected at a restaurant like that.We tipped 20% even though he was not mister personality.It was a slow night for them and as a former waitress I know what they earn hourly so I felt for the guy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Written by Paul Ehrbar Friday, 27 January 2012 00:00
With the first column of 2012, on behalf of the village and my family, I wish all a happy and healthy New Year and congratulations to Williston Park Library Director Donna McKenna who is expecting twins.
As was noted at the last village board meeting, Joe Camisa, a village employee for more than 16 years and an Auxiliary Police Officer, passed away last week after a short but serious illness.
At the time of his death he was the Commander of the Williston Park Auxiliary Police Unit. In this capacity Joe gave a lot of himself to the Village of Williston Park. Those who serve with the Auxiliary Police are volunteers who are working mostly nights, weekends and holidays providing an extremely valuable service to our community. Since the early '90s, Joe was an active participant with this group and gave freely of his time and energy. He will be missed and our thoughts and prayers go to out to his wife Dorine and three children.
In past articles I've reported on car burglaries that have been taking place in surrounding areas with limited incidents taking place within the Village. In a recent telephone conversation with Deputy Inspector Sean McCarthy he reported that a number of cars were illegally entered in the Roslyn Heights and Albertson areas last week. The individuals involved tend not to damage the vehicles burglarized but rather walk down various streets checking for unlocked cars. If unlocked, the thieves enter the vehicle and remove anything of value, from scattered coins to various electronic equipment. I am reminding residents to lock their cars even when parked in front of their own home or parked in their driveway. I ask anyone to contact 911 immediately if the aforementioned behavior is being observed.
Although the winter has settled in, plans are being put in place for the upcoming pool season. Paul Blake, last year's manager, will be returning. We have already spoken and he is anxious to began the process required to ensure a smooth pool opening and another successful pool season. Spring can't be too far away. Think warm thoughts.
