One of the questions I get is do I have any recipes to use up my leftover contest meat. Here is a recipe from the Second Addition of American's Best BBQ which will hit the stores March or May 2015. (We have been given both dates.)
Spencer's BBQ Corn Bread
Pam, non-stick cooking spray
1 lb. BBQ pulled pork
1 c. cornmeal
1 c. all-purpose flour
2-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. cane sugar
1/4 c. whole milk or as needed
1 c. butter, softened
4 large eggs
14.75 oz. cream-style corn
1 to 2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced or to taste
1-1/2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
4 Tbsp. melted butter
3 Tbsp. BBQ sauce
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. cayenne or to taste
Preheat oven to 350º degrees F (175º degrees C). Spray a 9" X 13" with Pam generously. Shred BBQ pulled pork into fine pieces and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, stir together the butter, milk, and sugar. Stir in the eggs (one at a time) until well incorporated. Add the cream style corn, peppers, cheese, and shredded BBQ pull pork and stir by hand (don't use electric mixer) until blended.
Add flour mixture to corn mixture; stir until smooth (don't use electric mixer). Pour batter into prepared spray pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown and until a toothpick inserted into center of the pan comes out clean.
Topping: Combine all and melt in microwave. Brush over cooked cornbread and place back in oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Cool then cut into cake squares and serve warm. Serves 6 to 8.
Here's a takeoff from Oklahoma Joe's Z-Man Sandwich.
The Wild Park Sandwich
2 lbs. slow-smoked barbecued brisket
12 oz. mayonnaise
5.5 oz. white vinegar
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. each celery & caraway seeds
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 Tbsp. kosher salt
3 Tbsp. shredded carrot
2 c. shredded green cabbage
1/4 c. shredded red cabbage
6 potato rolls
Barbecue sauce
6 slices smoked provolone cheese
1 c. coleslaw
12 onion rings, fried
Make the slaw: Warm vinegar and sugar, let cool. Add all remaining Ingredients to Mayo and mix well. Mix cabbage and carrots with dressing.
Lightly butter the potato rolls. Spread barbecue sauce on the bottom halves of the rolls, then add brisket. Top with smoked provolone and melt in an oven or Toaster oven. Top cheese with more barbecue sauce, and then add coleslaw and two Onion rings for each sandwich. Cover with top part of bun and enjoy. Serves 6.
What's nice about this recipe you can mix and match any type of meat along with shrimp and crawfish?
1-2-3 Jambalaya
1 large onion, diced
1 large green bell pepper, diced
1 lb. smoked sausage, cut into 1/4" slices
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 c. chopped barbecued pork
1 c. chopped barbecued brisket
1 c. chopped smoked chicken
3 c. uncooked long-grain rice
Two 10-1/2 oz. cans French onion soup, undiluted
14. -oz. can chicken broth
14.5 oz. can beef broth
2-3 tsp. Creole seasoning
2-3 tsp. Louisiana hot sauce
Garnish: fresh cilantro sprigs
Sauté first 3 ingredients in hot oil in a Dutch oven 4 to 5 minutes or until sausage is browned. Stir in the barbecued meat and next 6 ingredients.
Bake, covered, at 350° degrees F for 40 minutes, stirring after 30 minutes. Garnish, if desired. Yields 8.

Something about fall brings meatloaf to mind. My favorite meatloaf uses a combination of ground beef, ground veal, and ground pork in equal portions. My butcher grinds and sells this mixture but you can easily buy a half pound of each and mix it yourself. When cooked over the SmokerPro or a plank, the smoky flavor adds another dimension to the meatloaf. I serve it with green chile gravy, a very New Mexican touch. Just in case you want to try it, I've included the recipe. Don't forget the mashed potatoes. After all, it's meatloaf.
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 c. onion, finely diced
1/4 c. celery, finely chopped
1/4 c. red or green bell pepper, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. ground veal
1/2 lb. ground pork
1/4c. bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
If using a plank, soak it for at least an hour. I like apple wood for this.
If using the SmokerPro, have 2 cups of apple wood chips ready to go.
Prepare a hot fire in the grill. Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for five minutes, stirring. Add the cumin and oregano, remove from heat and let cool. Put the ground meat in a mixing bowl and mix well, especially if they weren't ground together. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Work the sautéed vegetables and bread crumbs into the meat so that it is thoroughly blended. Form into a loaf and refrigerate until ready to cook.
Put the woodchips in the smoker pro. Put the Smoker Pro directly on the coals or over the heat source if using gas. Place the cooking grate on and put the prepared meat loaf directly over the smoker pro. If using a plank, put the prepared meat loaf on the well-soaked plank and place the plank on the cooking grate directly over the fire. Cover the grill and cook for one hour. (The meatloaf is ready when an instant read thermometer reads 160˚. )
Green Chile Gravy
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 c. onions, finely diced
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
3 Tbsp. flour
2 c. chicken stock
1 c. roasted green chiles, diced
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for five minutes. Add the flour, stir well to coat the onions and cook for three minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil, Stir well, making sure that clumps don't stick and burn. When the stock comes to a boil add the green chiles and reduce to a simmer, continuing to stir. Cook for five more minutes. Serve with the meatloaf.
Enjoy the crisp evenings of autumn (and your meatloaf)!
By Kent "The Deck Chef" & Ally Whitaker
I've touched on this subject before with a few recipes but I decided that I needed to spell out the actual quick and easy method that I use when making a quick barbecue sauce with a berry infused flavor… I cheat.
Ally and I love quick and easy when it comes to cooking. We also love foods that are packed with flavor. Simple and easy does not mean bland. This recipe fits right smack into that category!
This is an easy method for making a junk sauce that is perfect for just about anything but very well suited for pork. It's also great with chicken wings, turkey, steak and even tuna steaks as well! I've even drizzled it over grilled veggies, used it as a dipping sauce.
You can start with this basic recipe and then add more ingredients as you like. A true "Junk" sauce! Oh, a Junk sauce is when you need a quick sauce, so you start with something you have, then ya toss in a bunch of… junk! In this case the "junk" comes in the form of fruit preserves.
The last time I talked about this method I used Raspberry preserves as an example. Since then I've been emailed a few times with questions about using other items. So, I tried a few. To date raspberry, apple, peach, and orange preserves have worked wonders. Using something such as grape jelly produced a flavor similar to tailgate meatballs. Not one of my favorites… the sauce that is… I love meatballs.
Here's a quick and easy version that's slightly different from the Raspberry Junk Barbecue Sauce that I wrote about several months ago. I used blackberry preserves for one version and one with peach and both were pretty darned tasty. Remember, you can use your homemade sauce or a bottle of store bought if pressed for time.
Kent's Preserve Junk Barbecue Sauce
Bottle of store brand plain barbecue sauce
2/3 c. preserves
1/2 Tbsp. hot sauce
Dash of brown sugar
In a saucepan over low heat – add the preserves and stir until melted. Do not boil or over heat. Add about half of the barbecue sauce, hot sauce and a dash of brown sugar and stir. Remove from heat, taste and add more barbecue sauce if desired.
Oh, did I mention, Ally used the left over sauce for a quick and easy spread. She took the version with blackberry, added a few more dashes of hot sauce and a tablespoon of minced jalapenos. Then, she mixed that with cream cheese. Let me tell ya, that was one Auburn football game day cracker spread that was pretty popular! Enjoy, and as always, let me know how your tweaks to recipes turn out.
For dessert, nothing beats a warm apple pie. Well, actually a slice of warm apple pie with ice cream does! It's cool weather time and that means Ally is going to fire up the oven in order to make her signature apple pies.
My wife Ally has about five different ways that she can make an apple pie, and I've yet to meet a version that I didn't enjoy. It's kind of like barbecue… never met a plate of barbecue that I'd didn't like. I'm kind of simple that way.
Who says we can only write about pork, beef, and chicken recipes? It's time to knock out a few pies and give the kitchen an aroma that will be sure to make you hungry.
My only suggestion is to choose the right apple! Many people say that Gala or Granny Smith apples are the best for apple pie baking. Are you wondering why? It's really about how the apples hold their shape during baking. Sweeter apples tend to break down and become mushy when baking. Tart apples seem to hold their shape better. My suggestion, pick a nice apple that's not too sweet such as a Red Delicious or simply use what you have. Either way… there's going to be an apple pie in your future.
I figured that if you are new to the pie game then going easy would be the way to start. Check out this simple recipe for an American Classic! If you need a few other versions, or even a lower than normal sugar recipe, then please feel free to email me. Enjoy!
Ally's Easy Apple Pecan Pie
2 ready-made pie crusts
1/2 c. crushed pecans
Dashes of brown sugar
6 c. thinly sliced, peeled apples – approx. 6 medium apples
3/4 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
Heat the oven to 425°. Use the pie crust in the pan it came in or, if using rolled crusts, then gently place one of the pie crusts in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate. Press gently to form without breaking or making weak areas. Next, sprinkle pecans evenly across pie crust. Don't worry, it won't be completely covered. Next, sprinkle with a few dashes of brown sugar. Next, in a large bowl, gently mix the remaining filling ingredients and spoon into the crust. Top with the second crust and gently press edges together with a fork to seal. Cut slits or shapes in several places in top crust. Note: Ally says you can add the pecans and brown sugar to the mix to make things easy if you wish.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cover edge of crust with 2- to 3-inch wide strips of foil after first 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent burning. Allow to cool before serving, about 2 hours.

Automobile Accidents
Written by attorney Jon Jackson
Most people are not aware of the fact that motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of injury and death in the United States. Americans collectively drive almost three trillion miles... more
became airborne into the path of N bound traffic.The impact of that crash sent the vehicle ahead of me in a spin sent them into my path as I was trying to avoid it all by swerving off the road. He then hit me head on and the other vehicle took a hit to my whole left side. I am being told I can't put claim on vehicle that hit me head on because he did nothing wrong. The driver who caused the crash died and the coverage was not high enough to pay for my care. WHY can't I put claim on all parties involved...they all hit me as I was clearly doing nothing wrong but am the one who is left with all the expense. I have exhausted all my medical funds with my insurance. My injuries require surgery but can't have done due to exhausting at fault parties limit. Can I put claim on other drivers ins.?
You can only bring a claim against people who are liable, even partially sometimes, for a collision. That being said consult with a lawyer to thoroughly investigate the driver who caused this collision. Maybe the car was owned by another person who had additional coverage you could pursue. Maybe the driver had additional coverage not listed on the police report or he was working and his employers policy would kick in. Get a lawyer to investigate the incident.
Yes you can.
However, the insurer is only obliged to pay claims made against its insured when its insured is partly or wholly at fault.
It is impossible for me to asses whether the driver of the second vehicle could have been partly at fault from your above description of the accident. If you would like to send me (fax or email) a copy of the crash report, I will be happy to take a good look at it and share my opinion(s) with you.
We can also then discuss any questions you have; how much you may have already been compensated; where the compensation came from; other investigations that may need to be undertaken or completed; and what I consider your very best legal options to be.
All of this will, of course, be free of charge and without any obligation!

You would have to demonstrate neglect on behalf of the driver who hit you.
There are more than sufficient issues for you to consult with a lawyer.
You need to retain one if you haven't already.
To answer the main question, regarding finding liability on the other vehicle, I'd have to ask you several questions and discuss the incident in more detail. You are welcome to call me to talk about your claim.
Good luck.
To win a case against the owner/driver of another vehicle requires you to prove that the driver of that vehicle acted negligently (without approproate care). It sounds like you only have a case against the driver and owner of the car that was headed in the wrong direction. But do talk to a lawyer about other theories of recovery and other potential sources of damages.
Yes, Florida follows what is called "pure comparative negligence" where each party may be held liable for damages based on their percentage of fault. In addition, it is important to make sure that you have truly exhausted your insurance benefits from this accident. It sounds like you've received a policy limit settlement from the primarily at-fault driver's insurer, and you have exhausted your PIP benefits. However, you may also have Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage through your insurance policy that will cover your medical expenses, and continuing medical care.
Without a lawyer, you will get either #1. no money or #2. a tiny nuisance settlement. Car accident cases are tricky, and a lawyer would need to be retained to recover money for you. FInd a lawyer with a low contingency fee, less than 30% with no costs deducted, so you are left with the lion's share of the settlement, not your lawyer. Good luck.
To be clear, I think it would help to have a better understanding of the actual mechanics of the accident events. The other lawyers are all correct that you can only recover monies from people that are at fault in the accident, not those that are just involved. As you would imagine, if someone sought damages from YOU because you were involved but not at fault, I have no doubt that you would find that terribly unfair, and rightly so.
However, the way you described the accident, the vehicle in FRONT OF YOU, seems to have hit a car travelling in the other direction but is not clear as to which lane the impact occured. If the vehicle in front of you crossed the line and impacted the car in the other lane, AND THEN was thrown back in to you, I would suspect you would have a very good case against the driver in front of you. This is why I think many of my colleagues have additional questions.
Mark Tischhauser, Esq.
Tischhauser Law Group
Tampa, Florida
if the driver of vehicle that struck has done nothing wrong to cause the accident then florida law does not provide a cause of action. you need to look to your own policy to see if you carry uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
There are many types of personal injuries for which financial damages can be awarded, including physical, emotional, and psychological injuries.

text: http://ubuntuforums.org – So I'm not sure what to call this but here's a link to the video I just uploaded to youtube so maybe you can have a better understanding of what I'm saying. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2huRbT8JXr8 It happened after the update I did. It's xubuntu btw. But It did the same thing after the update with ubuntu. It's a fresh install and worked fine before the update. I'm kind of a noob at linux but I'm a fast learner if you will take the time to help me please. I've looked all over google and turned up nothing. EDIT: I guess I should add that it's 12.04 LTS (Hardware)

"We'll continue to see the long tail of legacy technology in use for years," observed Brian Patrick Donaghy, CEO of Appcore, in this exclusive Q&A with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan. Donaghy continued, "New applications are being written today that are much more efficient, fast and cost-effective that take advantage of advancements in massive processing and scale out infrastructure."
Cloud Computing Journal: Just having the enterprise data is good. Extracting meaningful information out of this data is priceless. Agree or disagree?
Brian Patrick Donaghy: It's the difference between wisdom and knowledge. Collecting, maintaining, and accessing large datasets is the prerequisite to then running analytical processes - or extracting the wisdom from the knowledge. Asking the right questions is the trick.
Cloud Computing Journal: Forrester's James Staten: "Not everything will move to the cloud as there are many business processes, data sets and workflows that require specific hardware or proprietary solutions that can't take advantage of cloud economics. For this reason we'll likely still have mainframes 20 years from now." Agree or disagree?
Donaghy: The reason we have 20-year-old mainframes and other legacy systems in production today is more related to the applications that were written for those systems. Applications that are working well on legacy platforms are difficult to migrate from an ROI perspective. We'll continue to see the long tail of legacy technology in use for years. New applications are being written today that are much more efficient, fast and cost-effective that take advantage of advancements in massive processing and scale out infrastructure.
Cloud Computing Journal: The price of cloud computing will go up - so will the demand. Agree or disagree or....?
Donaghy: Useful technology advancements always produce a rise in demand with a fall in pricing - cloud computing will follow this same trend. We are watching worldwide demand grow for utility grade computing resources that can be bought on-demand, as a service. However, we are still in the early stages of the adoption curve. We believe that there will be a commodity computing market with stiff competition and low prices; but also a specialized, enterprise and industry-specific sector meeting complex demands. Market pricing is relative to the complexity of the problem you are solving.
Cloud Computing Journal: Rackspace is reporting an 80% growth from cloud computing, Amazon continues to innovate and make great strides, and Microsoft, Dell and other big players are positioning themselves as big leaders. Are you expecting in the next 18 months to see the bottom fall out and scores of cloud providers failing or getting gobbled up by bigger players? Or what?
Donaghy: Expansion and consolidation periods happen during technology shifts and cloud is no exception. We have definitely seen a large expansion of the number of service providers over the last year and not all of them will get it right; some will find the right niche and mix and grow into being a major player themselves, while others will be consolidated or acquired. CRM software took the same path 10 years ago as SaaS took hold. At the time there were a very large number of CRM providers that got consolidated into the handful there are today. Much of the driving reason behind consolidation in CRM is standardization. We are already experiencing the standardization consolidation in cloud with the orchestration race, which I believe will end up with an AWS-platform, OpenStack and CloudStack standards.
Cloud Computing Journal: Please name one thing that - despite what we all may have heard or read - you are certain is NOT going to happen in the future, with Cloud and BigData? ;-)
Donaghy: We are not going to see a complete move of processing and systems to major cloud service providers. I believe we will see more local cloud networks, internal private cloud, and standardized service providers servicing their local regions - on par with the way that local telecommunications companies work.
Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Question Asked:
Hi guys, i have an issue with my car, last year i bought a volvo s60 2009 in florida. The car was off for 8 months, i told a friend to start the engine every 15 days but, i think he forgot do it, so when he decides to start the engine, the battery was discharged, i think the alarm and other electrical systems discharges the battery, with the battery recharged, he starts the car, he told me that the alarm automatically activates the lights and horns begun to sound, he deactivate this with the remote control key. Now the flasher light doesn't turns off. Any idea? The car is now in Peru-South America and the Volvo dealer only repairs cars sold in the country.

Yes, and it's called 'TRIAGE"
..and is taught to "first responders".
...and this is a FACT, a GIVEN.
When the SHTF?..."Standard Operational Procedures", or SOP's take on a more fluid operational context, becoming more operational "guidelines" instead of "set procedures".
.....You do what you have to...as soon as possible...with whatever resources available.
This comes from 30+ years of experience on my part, NOT from a TV Show.
You are correct in your "assumption", but since we (you and I) were not there?....anything could've happened.
JOSH, and JON: Although you two are usually "spot on" with credible opinion and analysis.....must admit that this is correct, and most certainly what happened...(woman moved to attend to another victim)
not to be ridiculed....although the "actors" scenario is "stretching it".
"Beyond the blackened skyline, beyond the smoky rain, dreams never turned to ashes up until.........

One of the hallmarks of Ryan Dempster's second life as a starter has been durability. But what is the likelihood that he will continue to demonstrate that trait over the course of the two-year, $26.5 million contract with the Red Sox that the pitcher and team officially announced on Wednesday?
To figure that out, it's necessary to note what Dempster did in recent years to position himself for the deal he just signed. Since he left behind his career as a closer for the 2008 season, Dempster has gone 65-49 with a 3.74 ERA and a sturdy 997 innings, a workload that ranks 18th in the majors in that time. He's one of five pitchers in the big leagues with five straight years of at least 170 innings pitched.
In 2012, Dempster fell below the 200 innings threshold for the first time in that run, delivering 173 frames for the Cubs and, after his mid-year trade, the Rangers. Still, while he fell below the mystical 200-innings threshold in 2012, he's one of 15 pitchers with at least 200 innings pitched in four of the last five campaigns.
Dempster views the ability to log innings, to shoulder his share of a starter's burden and to alleviate the strain on a bullpen, as one of the defining aspects of his job.
"I think that that's your responsibility as a starting pitcher in the big leagues," Dempster said at his introductory press conference on Wednesday. "The norm used to be 300. Somehow, we've worked it down to 200 or even 180 seems to suffice.
"[But] I work extremely hard in the offseason and during the season to try to keep myself as healthy as I possibly can so that I can take on that workload. It's something that I pride myself in," he continued. "As a starting pitcher, we only get to contribute once every five days. I pride myself on trying to contribute as much as I can, if you can take the brunt of it off the bullpen. And also, too, I think it pushes other pitches on your staff. Friendly competitiveness is nice -- pushing each other to be better, go out and get as much out of each other as we can."
Certainly, Dempster's appeal for the Sox was two-fold, found both in the fact that he's been effective and durable. The team wanted to add a stabilizing presence to a rotation that had just two pitchers (Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz) who threw as many as 180 innings. The daily inconsistency of the starters made it extremely difficult for the team to go on any sort of run when it was still in the race for a playoff berth through the early days of August.
"It's important," Red Sox GM Ben Cherington said of Dempster's durability. "Ryan's got a history of being very effective and a really good pitcher. The consistency he's shown in terms of taking the ball every fifth day was important to us.
"I think, as a team, when you start having to fill in for guys, if we don't have a reliable rotation and you start filling in with guys from down below or moving guys from the bullpen or whatever, it's not so much that move but you're inevitably weakening another area of your team. It's no secret, our best teams generally have been ones where we've had pretty good reliability in the rotation. We're certainly trying to build that again here."
But is it realistic for the Sox to expect Dempster to do that?
After all, the right-hander is now 35 years old, and turns 36 in May. He's already shouldered more than 2,000 innings (2,215 2/3, to be precise) in his career. So, it seems appropriate to ask -- what is the likelihood that Dempster will remain durable during the deal that he just signed?
To figure out the answer, it's worth looking at the group of pitchers who proved comparably durable to Dempster during the five-year stretch that he just concluded. Dempster is the 47th pitcher in the last 50 years to have five straight seasons of at least 160 innings pitched between those ages.
Of those, three (Dempster, A.J. Burnett and Bronson Arroyo) are active and just turned 35. Another (Ted Lilly) is active and just concluded his age 36 season.
Of the remaining 43 pitchers, how did the group do in terms of remaining durable at ages 36 and 37?
Fewer than half (19 of 43, 44 percent) had two seasons of 160-plus innings at ages 36-37. About 21 percent (9 of 43) had one season of 160-plus innings. And more than a third (15 of 43, 35 percent) did not have a 160-inning season at either age 36 or 37. In other words, it should come as no more surprising to the Sox if Dempster fails to reach the 160-innings threshold in either of the next two years as it would if he surpassed that mark in both 2013 and 2014.
Overall, the group of pitchers that remained durable between the ages of 31-35 saw little dropoff in the quality of their innings. The group saw a reasonable but not disconcerting 9 percent rise in its ERA (from 3.48 to 3.76), resulting in a slight drop in ERA+ (ERA relative to league average) from 114 to 108.
So, the "Dempster group" is typically effective at ages 36-37, but with a decreased likelihood of remaining healthy. On average, the group saw its annual innings load drop by 28 percent, from an average of 228 per season to an average of 164 per season.
Still, does that make Dempster a bad bet on a short-term contract? Would the Sox have been better off, perhaps, making their bet on a younger free agent pitcher like Zach Greinke or Edwin Jackson or Anibal Sanchez?
To get a sense of that, it's interesting to see how pitchers who were durable between ages 26-30 held up over the next two years of their careers. Is there a considerably greater chance of getting two healthy seasons out of younger pitchers who have been as durable as Dempster?
In the last 50 years, there have been 91 pitchers who have logged at least 160 innings in five straight years between ages 26-30. While that ensemble remained more durable than the older "Dempster group," the difference wasn't quite as pronounced as one might expect.
Of those 91 pitchers, two (James Shields and Paul Maholm) just finished their age 30 seasons, and two more (Dan Haren and CC Sabathia) just finished their age 31 seasons.
Of the remaining 87, slightly over half (46 of 87, 53 percent) had two seasons of 160-plus innings at ages 31-32. Another 23 percent (20 of 87) had one season of 160-plus innings in those two years, while the last 24 percent (21 of 87) fell short of 160 innings at both ages 31 and 32.
In other words, there's a marginally better chance that younger durable pitchers will remain durable than will pitchers at Dempster's career stage. But when one considers that the younger pitchers will often get much longer contracts -- witness the six-year deal for Greinke, the five years that Sanchez got from the Tigers, the reports that Jackson is weighing four-year offers, etc. -- the idea of Dempster on a two-year deal seems like an entirely reasonable proposition.
All pitchers represent increasing risks over time. Past health doesn't guarantee future health, as virtually every shoulder and elbow has a time bomb that is destined to go off at some uncertain point.
The pitchers who were healthy enough to log five straight years of 160 innings between the ages of 26 and 30 saw an average annual decrease in their innings of 22 percent at ages 31 and 32. They saw their ERAs rise by 9 percent, an increase virtually identical to that of the age 31-35 group of durable starters.
In other words, if a team has the opportunity to choose between a two-year deal for a 35-year-old pitcher who has been durable, or a three- or four- or five- or six-year deal for a 30-year-old pitcher who hasn't been as durable, the choice is fairly straightforward. For a shorter-term deal that entails considerably less risk of a payroll albatross, a team can acquire a pitcher who is almost as "safe" a bet to remain healthy for two subsequent years.
That rationale helps to explain why Dempster is now a Red Sox pitcher.

After his twelve years as Colorado's leader, no one expected former governor and spry septuagenarian Roy Romer to move to a retirement community and break out the shuffleboard. But to take over as the superintendent of Los Angeles Unified Schools, one of the largest and most troubled school districts in the nation? Some guys just can't get enough. Yet after a number of hiccups involving students, teachers, politicians, unions and, well, just about everyone else, Romer, who started his new assignment in the fall of 2000, has generally received good grades; he's even scored some points for his periodic appearances on live radio. But that's not surprising, as Colorado's leather-jacket-wearing ambassador has always done the job with typical honesty and a touch of class.
