How to Renew America's Economy |
This country – and much of the world economy – is in a backwards slide that must be reversed. Many leaders in corporate America today, including me, have ideas on the biggest challenges we face and the best solutions. I shared my own views on this recently with the National Association for Business Economics in Washington, D.C., of which our Chief Economist Gene Huang is president.
To revitalize our economy and build opportunity for current and future generations, we must:
• Reduce our reliance on imported petroleum;
• Combat overregulation; and
• Revitalize business through tax reform, education and training.
Next year marks the 40th anniversary of the Arab Oil Embargo, yet we haven't come close to curbing our addiction to foreign energy. We're pumping nearly $300 billion a year out of our domestic economy for imported energy sources. On top of that, we spend more than $70 billion annually on military protection of petroleum supply lines. It adds up to trillions of dollars in lost purchasing power that could otherwise fuel the American economy.
As a global airline, FedEx has no choice today but to use imported oil. But we've also committed to reducing that dependence through more energy efficient aircraft and building our fleet of all-electric and hybrid-electric trucks. We're working closely with U.S. manufacturers to drive down cost so your local pizzeria can afford one too. We also support continued research and development of biofuels. They're already technically viable in both vehicles and aircraft; now we need to make them cost-competitive.
The next step to revitalize America's economy is combating overregulation. Often, regulations grow out of abuses, real or perceived. But some regulations are so complex or outdated that innocent bystanders, especially small- and medium-sized businesses, get hurt.
Study after study quantifies the cost and productivity losses from overregulation. It doesn't seem like a coincidence to me that some of the fastest growing sectors of the American economy are the newest and least regulated ones, such as the tech industry. Could that be, at least in part, because there hasn't been time to write too many regulations for them?
I believe that if we stand by and do nothing, over-regulation will only get worse. And the cost will be paid in slower economic growth.
Finally, we need to revitalize business – large and small - here at home. The first step is reducing the corporate tax rate, currently the highest in the industrialized world. Lowering it will increase incentives for companies to invest and create jobs in the U.S. That also frees up resources for these businesses to invest in research and development, expansion and capital expenditures – all activities that directly stimulate the economy and lead to job creation and stability.
But that job creation benefits no one if we can't train our people in the skills that are needed. At FedEx, we've faced this challenge first hand and work with local community colleges to train aviation technicians and technology specialists. We need more of this type of practical education and skill development offered in America's community colleges and training institutions, because without it our fellow Americans will be woefully unprepared to take on the well-paying, high-demand jobs in our near future.
It's time to follow the advice of one of the greatest Americans, General George C. Marshall, who said, "Don't fight the problem, decide it." Let's all tell our leaders to get back to the business of leading this country, making the hard decisions, not just the popular ones. Let's stop debating and make some decisions to renew America's economy.

Excellent well stated points! I have run across a couple of articles on the internet that state that the US has for the first time in a while become a net oil exporter. May sound confusing but one article suggest that the majority of the crude oil here in the US is heavier than the crude oil from the North Sea or the Middle East. Most of the refineries on the east coast are set up for this lighter imported crude and some have been closed down as a result of reduced imports. Is refining capacity on the east coast an issue? Is it more profitable for oil companies to export refined oil from the Texas/Gulf coast area as opposed to transporting it to the east coast? I am hoping someone can shed some light on this. |

Great insight to streamline the supply chain & add value to the business that will make a better world for all. Thanks, Fred! |

I truly enjoy listening to, and reading the various interviews/articles with our boss Mr. Fred Smith addressing issues concerning our economy and corporate America. I'm very thankful to have employment with FedEx Express {27 years}, and to be a part of such a great company. |

Well said Mr. Smith. I am involved in politics locally and I am very proud to work for a great leader such as Mr. Smith. At FedEx, I have learned a lot about building great business relationships and making sound decisions. Fred Smith should run for President for his non-partisan way of thinking is what this country needs and deserves. |

Some, but not all, of the points make good economic sense. For instance, when America had a much higher corporate tax rate real wages increased and the average corporate executive compensation was only 10 times that of the front line employee. Over the last 20-30 years the opposite has occurred because most, if not all, of the GDP growth has been funnelled to the top 1% leaving the greatest consumers, the middle class, with less discretionary income to drive ecomnomic growth. Basically, what America needs is significant tax cuts for the middle class but the legislative branch of our government, whether Repulican, Democratic or Independent is lead by a bunch of self-serving millionaires, so that day will never come. |

Mr. Smith has been, and continues to be a visionary! I am proud to work for FedEx!!! Mr. Smith's comments are practical, applicable and non-partisan! We need more leaders like him in poicy-making rolls. |
Mon, 04/02/2012 - 13:16 by Brandon Ray |
I am very proud to know our leader understands every letter in LDRSHIP. He is 100% correct about what our economy needs. I only know of ONE person "running" that agrees with what Mr. Smith is saying. Thank you for having the courage to say what NEEDS to be said. |
Mon, 04/02/2012 - 09:21 by John Andrew |
I agree wholeheartedly! Thank you for being a public spokesman for common sense! Please continue to spread this message. Thank you! |
Mon, 04/02/2012 - 07:25 by John Evans |
Well said Mr. Smith. In addition, I think the country needs to redirect its attention to those states that are lagging behind in their own discipline of over spending. It is amazing how many states are on the verge of bankruptcy, yet the public officials continue to spend without regard to their own fiscal plans. Where is the discipline? |
Mon, 04/02/2012 - 06:09 by Robyne Ingram |
I'm a proud FedEx team member. Very well said and the powers that be, regardless of party, should stop talking about each other and listen to Mr. Smith and to the people. |

Severe Weather
This morning as the squall line slammed through the Tri-state, I was again impressed at the resources we have at WIKY to bring you the very latest observations and reports. Diane and I anchored the WIKY Morning Show with live reports from the WIKY Newsroom and the 14 First Alert Weather Center at WFIE-TV. (All three meteorologists were on duty this morning and each filed a live report on the progress of the storm).
But it's important to note that we couldn't do it without our listeners letting us know what's happening in their neighborhoods. It seems we survived without substantial damage (a few lines down and a couple of trees toppled) but we certainly had some scary moments especially with road conditions and visibility. Your excellent reports from the field on WIKY often describe problems and conditions before police and other agencies even hear about it.
We've gone through floods, blizzards, tornadoes, earthquakes, and even a hurricane here in the Tri-state and you can count on WIKY and the WIKY Morning Show to be your source for important information when you need it.
And again, thanks for pitching in. We couldn't do it without you!

50th: Otto Boutin's Night Watch — Speak and Squeak Softly
June 2008Marvin studied the Miehle Vertical, standing clean and idle. He winced as he saw all of those undistributed forms on the slanted tops of the type cabinets, and he didn't like those flower pots around the presses. He felt a sudden urge to go to California, but he felt sorry for this poor widow, stuck with a print shop. A horrible fate for any woman.
"I'm an all-around printer," he said, finally. "I'll help you out."
"I'm so glad," she said, taking off her cap and letting her blonde hair fall to her shoulders. "I'm pretty good at setting type," she said modestly, "but when it comes to presses, I get scared."
"I can run any press," he said. "Real good. Want me to start now?"
She looked at the clock. "It's almost four already. We'll let it go for tomorrow. Have a cup of coffee?"
From the apartment in back of the shop, she brought an electric coffee pot and a tray of cookies. They stood at the make-up table, eating and talking, for more than an hour. Now and then Marvin gave a cookie to a white poodle who had taken a liking to him.
The Lady Boss nodded in satisfaction. "A dog is a good judge of character," she said.
MARVIN WAS on the job 15 minutes early the next morning. The Lady Boss wore a simple yellow dress, but she filled it like an Italian movie star. She needed no nylons to enhance the beauty of her smoothly shaven legs.
"You're early," she said to Marvin. "I'm just having breakfast. Care to join me?"
"I ate," said Marvin.
"Another cup of coffee won't hurt you."
He followed her to the kitchen. It was a neat, cozy little apartment she had back there, a harbor of femininity where the morning sun filtered through the ruffled white curtains and where the fragrance of apple pie made a man wish he had a home of his own.
In one brief moment of introspection, Marvin regretted all the years he had spent in aimless wandering. In the woman's large brown eyes he saw the dawn of a new life.
"Show me what you want done," he said, rising from the table. "I can work better than any two men."
She led the way into the shop with a spring in her step, as if she, too, saw the hope for a better future.
"Start with these dance tickets," she said. "Print a thousand of them. And then these statements..."
While he studied the job tickets, she added, "I'll be back in a couple of hours. I have to see a few customers. I've been neglecting them."
While locking the form in the Gordon and spreading the ink on the rollers, Marvin's mind was on the Lady Boss all the time. Strong with newfound power, he would show her what a great printer he really could be.
He had run off almost a hundred tickets when he heard a squeak. He threw in the safety lever and listened. Squeak. Sounded like a bearing. Women can never remember that a machine needs oil. He shut off the press and looked for an oil can, which he finally found behind a pot of geraniums. He gave the old Gordon a real good oil job.
Confidently he threw the switch, increasing the speed to make up for lost time. Squeak.
He slowed down. Squeak, squeak.
He shut off the press again, looked around for a wire, and began digging the dirt out of the oil holes. Poor Lady Boss never thought of cleaning such important things; she was too busy cleaning windows.
An hour was gone and he still had only 150 cards printed, but with a bit of speed he'd get them all out before she got back.
Squeak. Squeak. Squeak. That would be just his luck, to burn out a bearing the first day on the job.
He stopped again, mad at himself for becoming so filthy from crawling around that darn press. He knew he had ink on his cheeks and oil in his hair, but he had no time to wash. He oiled everything once more and desperately started the press again. Squeak.
On his hands and knees he stared into the mechanism of the slowly idling press. Only 200 dance tickets in two hours. For the best boss in the world. Squeak.
He saw it. Through a gap in the slowly moving cams, he saw it. It was in a cage against the wall, next to the rubber plant.
Marvin really did love all living creatures, but as he was kneeling on the floor, frustrated, dirty, oily, ink-stained and way behind schedule, his hand instinctively reached for a mallet. And when that canary went squeak, squeak, in obvious derision, Marvin let the mallet fly.
He didn't hurt the bird. He only put a dent in the cage. But quite a few yellow feathers were flying around when the Lady Boss came running across the shop.
"Poor Birdie Boy!" she was shrieking. "Are you hurt? By that horrible brute?"
Marvin washed up slowly, taking a farewell sniff of apple pie.
And he walked out into the street, sadly reflecting that even the noblest aspirations of man can be loused up by a little canary. PI

Each member of the Blue Heron team possesses a unique set of skills. Our wide range of literary interests and exceptional event planning make Blue Heron Books the heart of Uxbridge's book loving community.
Shelley Macbeth
Involved with the store since 1992, has been at the helm since 2005. Knows her books, her authors, and her customers; amazing things happen when they all come together at one of the multitude of events the store hosts throughout the year. Pick a genre and you'll get a solid recommendation. In the publishing world she has been called a book promotion machine.
Joy Coxworth
Bookkeeper extraordinaire and general organizational goddess for the past two years. When not tallying columns in the back Joy enjoys first-rate crime stories, anything to do with horses, pop culture, music and good food porn (a.k.a. cookbooks). Resident egg lady and beekeeper!
Sue Saunderson
Nothing stops Sue — not ankle surgery, not a broken wrist. She is determined with an 'I'll do it' attitude that is to be envied. She is Blue Heron's almighty ladyship of school books for all things school related. She has been know to sort books into the wee hours of the night when a calm quiet descends upon the usually busy store. Sue is happiest at her cottage where this little Energizer Bunny recharges the batteries that power her million dollar smile. firstname.lastname@example.com
Shelagh Damus
Writer-in-residence, web-mistress and procurer of press releases, newsletters and publicity. She loves non-fiction that reads like fiction and the voyeuristic nature of biographies. Her inner rock-star had a work out recently with Keef's Life and her long in the tooth biology degree was useful as she explored The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. No matter how many cities/countries she has knocked off her "I'm starting early 'cause I have a long way to go" bucket list, it never seems to get any shorter and she can't believe she still hasn't seen Paris! firstname.lastname@example.com
Kristen Thornton
Maggie Finlayson
The greatest employee of all time, according to Shelley. She enjoys all things teen fiction, cookbooks and long walks on the beach. She's also probably the most beautiful member of the Blue Heron Books. Away at University most of the time, Maggie will find her way back and behind the counter occasionally.
Laurel Crichton-Mailey
A grade 11 student at Uxbridge Secondary School, Laurel is an extra curricular activity aficionado with interests as diverse as rugby and dance. As comfortable on the stage performing musical theatre as she is curled up with a good read, Laurel has proven adept at thinking on her feet and brings with her a depth of reading knowledge. Hunger Games and the Clockwork Angel are two series that have captured Laurel's interest of late. Laurel loves working with the other Blue Heron Books employees where work and fun always seem to go hand in hand. Laurel enjoys the opportunities she has had to meet authors and hear about their books and their journeys.
Caileigh MacIsaac
Caileigh is a grade 12 student at Uxbridge Secondary School. Her greatest love is running, as she spends most of her time training and competing in track and field; most notably in hurdles events. She also has a passion for music; she is classically trained in the flute, and finds fun in improvising on the ukulele. Caileigh is an agreeable and friendly addition to our staff. She loves reading books which feature strong heroines. She enjoys connecting with customers who have come from far and wide to visit the store.
One Response to Staff
congratulations on being recognized as one of the top 10 book stores in Canada. Hard work does pay off.

Because anything Dolan is credited for doing, Burke has done far more consistently and forcefully, particularly in regards to the definition of marriage. Also, Burke has not had a history of...shall we say "discretionary" retreats...at moments when his voice would've been most needed. I am particularly thinking of his performance during the redefinition of marriage in New York, when, where the vote was being taken, he couldn't be found anywhere in the state. He only sent a letter condemning the thing after the fact.
On top of that, he's not felt to be particularly friendly to Tradition as Burke is. He's never done a Traditional Latin Mass (unlike Burke), and there is not one FSSP parish or mission in New York State, much less the city proper. The nearest is in New Jersey. This is kind of ironic when you consider that the only priest (this is an archdiocese of millions, and only one ordination to the priesthood?!) to be ordained by him last year did celebrate the TDM as his first mass.

Menthyl lactate has a mild, cooling, fresh, minty, somewhat burnt sugarlike and sweet menthol taste profile. It is used in minty compounds for various purposes such as toothpaste, chewing gum and tobacco; it is also used in confections, beverages, and as a peppermint booster in oral care products. Menthyl lactate is produced in two forms—a white crystalline powder and fused material; both forms are used in various applications.

Most of you reading this should be well aware of my game, Law of the Board and with how buggy it was in release. Well, I was trying to show off how awesome I'm not at coding to my Calculus Lab Professor (we have a separate professor for lab and lecture due to special time constraints on lecture porfessor) and she pointed out the most obvious thing in the world and I am ashamed to say that I made the mistake in the first place.
The problem was always the switching of turns. The first turn worked beautifully, the second turn, you would always get trackers (objects that tell you where you can move to in the game) created for both people, and it was always white's turn. Well, here is the issue.
proc |
* The comment about the else was just put in today to remind me to fix it.
Looks good at a glance, and if you're not paying particularly close attention to what's going on (like me) you'd think it works. BUT IT DOESN'T. What is actually going on, is the if(Turn == White) works fine, I change the turn (which by the way, don't do it like this. There are a few debugging statements that I have yet to remove to make it "clean") then I do another if statement. if(Turn == Black). Thing is, THAT WILL ALWAYS RETURN TRUE DUE TO HOW I HAVE IT TABBED!
So how is this relevant? Well, I am going to update LotB in about 3 minutes with the fix, and I'm hoping some of you would be generous enough to find a partner and test it. (I have a class in 15 minutes, which is why this is so rushed!) I'm crossing my fingers!

Dec 12, 2013 5:05 PM by ASSOCIATED PRESS
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - Law enforcement officials have unsealed three federal indictments charging 24 alleged gang members and their associates with operating a widespread narcotics network throughout the Southern California area.
The announcement and 12 arrests on Thursday capped an 18-month multi-agency drug trafficking investigation dubbed "Operation Rose Bud." The arrests are in addition to two suspects already in custody, two who were deported, three still under investigation and five remaining fugitives.
The operation targeted the Varrio Pasadena Rifa street gang, which allegedly sold and distributed crystal methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin in the San Gabriel and Antelope valleys. Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez says the drugs came from the Mexican Sinaloa Cartel.
Investigators seized meth, heroin and cocaine with a street value of $2.5 million.

It is easy for designer clothing to lose their identity over time as they become more and more worn, but the Vanish Power Stain Remover ad campaign ensures one way to keep them as fresh as possible. Instead of describing the blue Tommy Hilfiger shirt as the Campbell Soup one or the Calvin Klein jeans as the ketchup pants, people will be able to continue to focus on the brand and nothing more.
The Vanish Power Stain Remover ad campaign was conceived and executed by the advertising school Escola Cuca based in São Paulo, Brazil. Art directed by Felipe Racca with copy writing by Leo Razera, the print ads are clever and simple, getting the message across in a way that is both straightforward and creative.

There are too many space/future games.
The farthest into the future I would want to go in the COD franchise would be WWIII, set around 2010-2020. So it wouldn't be too future, with space BS.
Im actually happy COD 5 is going back to WWII. I personally LOVE WWII. Dont get me wrong, COD 4 was amazing, but you cant really continue that story.
Another thing the video game industry lacks is Vietnam War games. I think COD: Vietnam would be a great title and a must buy. Ok, I can live with COD5: WWII again, but I really hope COD 6 is a near future WWIII or the Vietnam War.
And guys, give Treyarch another chance.
Yes COD 3 was fail, but they put that together in less than a year. Theyve had lots of time to put together COD 5 and it really looks good. The graphics compare to COD 4, considering it uses the same engine, and the gameplay looks good. The only thing its lacking is the assault rifles. :D

Consumers Businesses
Note: Firm phone number changes, Firm out of business.
Originally issued May 9, 1995; Last Revised January 22, 2008
(301) 504-7908
Release # 95-118
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and 11 bunk bed manufacturers jointly announced today a recall program for more than 320,000 wooden bunk beds. The bunk beds have openings on the top bunk which may present a potential entrapment hazard to young children. The spaces can be large enough for a child's body to pass through, but small enough to entrap the child's head. This recall program is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury and death.From 1990 through 1994, CPSC received reports of 24 children who died from becoming caught in bunk beds with similar spaces in the top bunk. Nineteen of those children were ages two and under, and four were three years of age. Neither CPSC nor the manufacturers are aware of any injuries or deaths associated with the products listed below. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) voluntary standard for bunk beds requires that, in addition to having guardrails on both sides of the top bunk, any spaces between the guardrail and bed frame, and in the head and foot boards on the top bunk, be less than 3.5 inches. Bunk beds currently made by the companies listed below now meet the spacing requirement of the voluntary standard. The companies are also placing permanent labels on their beds to warn that children under the age of six be prohibited from the upper bunk. CPSC and the manufacturers continue to urge parents and caregivers not to put children under the age of six on the top bunk.The recalled beds were sold nationwide through furniture and specialty stores. The manufacturers and importers listed below are participating in this recall to improve the safety of these beds and to meet the requirements of the voluntary standard.Consumers should stop using the recalled beds immediately and call the company or contact the retailer for a replacement guardrail, retrofit kit, or instructions that will eliminate the potential entrapment hazard. If this cannot be done (for example, firm out of business), the product should be destroyed or discarded. If consumers are not sure of the bunk bed manufacturer or have any questions about this recall, they should call CPSC's Hotline at (800) 638-2772.

I am working on a quilt for an injured soldier this weekend. I hope to get it quilted early next week. Tomorrow I am going to a small quilt show at a church with friends.
Are you sewing or quilting this weekend? Linda OH |
Follow-Up Postings:
I finished quilting a good-size wall hanging yesterday so I plan to put the binding on it this weekend. Not sure what the next project will be...I have several more tops that need quilting and I plan to make some things for the quilt show boutique soon. Hubby is off tomorrow (supposed to be), so I don't know if he has plans that include me or not! :) Donna |

I have a Saturday class with Freddie Moran doing a pineapple block and should be back to my machine on Sunday. I hope the class inspires me to start something, from a teacher who claims red is a neutral! She's done some wonderful, wild pieces you wouldn't believe. I have painting and plumbing to do yet so might not sew till Monday. |

I finally have the center of the Tie quilt placed and ready to sew. After that, it needs to be squared up, the corners put in and then the binding. WHEW! SharonG/FL |
I needed a mental health day so took today off and sewed. Worked in a trip to Joann's to use up some coupons, a romp on the golf course in the rain with the big collie dog (the sheltie HATES rain), a leisurely lunch and even a short nap. Life is good. In between I've done one more mini quilt and sorted out fabric for another mini (paper pieced chickens!). I've been thinking about retreat and what I want to bring to work on there. I know it's early but I believe I'll put aside my Moda Ruby jelly roll and bring that along. I have a mental plan for the design of that quilt and it's simple enough so I only need one ruler and a small cutting mat. Speaking of cutting... I treated myself to a new rotary cutter today!!! I was only going to buy blades but Joann had all their rotary stuff 50% off and I fell to temptation. This one has a better blade guard. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Kate |
LOL, Kate, I kinda did that yesterday. Got to work and the power was out. They thought it could be several hours to fix it, and my office has no windows, so I couldn't even do non-computer stuff, so I headed back home. I called in about 11:30 and the power had just come back on, but I told my boss if she didn't care I'd just take a vacation day! So I quilted, went to Best Buy to check out Kindle Fire vs Nook Tablet, had lunch out... I really enjoyed my day! Donna |
I thought I had plans, but they fell through, so I now plan on finishing the baby quilt I posted about earlier...and weeding. After the steady rain we had today, they should pull right up. |

I put together two of the block lotto square I had won in past years - they turned out nicely. Today, I hosted my neighbor quilt group and we cut & pieced a Quilt of Valor top and have the pillow case cut out. We started at 10 this morning and were done by 4:30 - including snacks, lunch and chatting! It was fun - there were only 6 of us here, but it turned out great. I need to get a picture uploaded, and will post it on another thread. One of the gals will borrow a friend's long arm and quilt it, then another gal will do the binding. WOOHOO! Tomorrow will be an outdoor day since it's earth day and supposed to be 80. DH said we may go look at a couple of condo/townhomes too. After being gone for 3 months, I think he is wanting to downsize and not have maintenance! Sue |
It was a rainy, windy, cold day here, so I felt no guilt at all about quilting all afternoon and evening. I have finished all nine of the large leaves from the Frieda Anderson's Blushing Aspens table runner. Now I have 15 small ones to do. It's turning out really well. I can't wait to start quilting it; I think it's really going to be fun. Last night I bound the neutral-colored Simple Log quilt that I picked up from my LAQ last Sunday. I wrapped up in it today while watching TV since it was so damp and chilly. Tomorrow is our chorus's spring concert. We are singing The World Beloved; a Bluegrass Mass by Carol Barnett. We will sing with a great local bluegrass band called Monroe Crossing. It was very hard to learn, but it's so much fun to sing and so incredibly beautiful. I hope the audience enjoys it as much as we do. |

It is raining here today, so maybe I can get my 15 mins of sewing in. I need to cut more fabric for the border for the Red & White Sampler top I made from the Lotto Blocks I won, but it will probably take me 1/2 hour to clear off a spot on my cutting table......grrrrr...... Lois, I'm sure your audience will love the concert - and more important that "you" love it! :) Enjoy! |
I got the border of SBQ "unpinned", straitened, pressed and basted. Then marked for quilting. There are 24 motifs and quilted one this morning. It will be such a blessing to get that finished, then just the binding. yah!!! |

I've been bent over the sewing machine all day piecing blocks for a quilt I'm making to use on my own bed.... Not following a pattern, just kind of doing my own thing... using a lot of bright colors and mixing batiks with regular material.... just 4 inch squares so it's really simple... took a couple hours to lay out all the pieces and get a design I was happy with... didn't have enough of some fabric, too much of some of the others, got the pieces laid out and the cat ran through them as he usually does and messed it all up... it's been a fun day, I haven't sewn in months and I really missed it. It was all I could do to tear myself away from the machine and turn on some laundry and dishes... I really improved my sewing life today by doing something new... I set up a small table with a towel on it and used my small vintage travel iron so I can press without running back to the ironing board every five seconds and I can reach the iron from the sewing chair now.... I don't know why I never did that before! Glad you all are getting something done too :o) |

The day is winding down, and I'm feeling good about the quilting I've gotten done. My main project this weekend was to get my crazy quilt done, and I only have to sew on the binding tomorrow, and it'll be finished. A while back I got this crazy idea to make a crazy quilt out of sections of fabric I had already quilted but never used. I dug them out, cut a few into squares, triangles, and odd shapes, and pinned them to the quilted backing I was using. Instead of making crazy-quilted blocks, I did the whole quilt at one time. Joann's carries quilted batting which has fabric on both sides, and it was perfect for this project. When I sewed each piece onto the quilt, I was also doing my quilting, doing two steps at once. I rather like how it turned out, and if I can find a way to put it all in one picture I'll post one tomorrow once it's finished. I made it into a longer queen-sized quilt. The only bad part about it all was trying to fit all that quilt into my little singer sewing machine when I needed to get into the middle of the quilt to sew a seam. But, even though I had the "help" of my two cats, I prevailed and it's done. I think I'll wait awhile before I try this idea again...lol! |
Saturday I went to the quilt show with friends and had a good time. We HAD to stop at a quilt shop before coming home! More fun! Today, Sunday, we went to Dayton to see the new grandson. We needed our baby fix for the month. He is 5 weeks today and is growing so quickly. We probably won't see him again until Mother's Day weekend. They are bringing him here for his first visit. I did get the soldier's quilt put together and the borders are cut and ready to be added. Linda OH |

I think I do better if I don't tell you all what I expect to get done, but just after the fact, what I actually did get done!! We're in the middle of hockey playoff season, so that tends to take priority, and I can't watch that and quilt at the same time:( I had my "Going Green" quilt in the works on the quilt frame, so I got that finished!! Then I loaded my Fall embroidery quilt and dithered around for awhile getting quilting stencils made. Got 5 of the 8 patchwork blocks quilted with the stencils...hope to finish those today and maybe I can start the stippling on the embroidered blocks. Have to find a vine/leaf pantograph for the borders. Have a challenge quilt that is sitting on my creation table partially cut out waiting for me... I guess it's not due for another month! it will wait a bit longer. I think I'm afraid to start! |

I committed myself to hosting an engagement party for a wonderful couple we know, so I spent most of the weekend trying to get ready for a house full of almost 100 people on the 5th. So, I don't plan on getting to much sewing done in the next 2 weeks. I did get one block done on my Dear Jane and appliqued a little on another (it's almost done, too). Robbi |

Spikes Come From Behind; Morris Wins #5 With Curve
Not a lot of action for the lower minor league affiliates today.� The West Virginia Power and the GCL Pirates had a scheduled day off, and the Bradenton Marauders were rained out — they will play two games on Monday.
State College Spikes� 7,� Auburn Doubledays� 6 (box)
SS Walker Gourley and LF Pat Irvine led the Spikes with 3 hits each as they came from behind to erase a 6-run lead.� It was the largest deficit overcome for a win in the team's history.
Zack Dodson pitched 4 innings and gave up 6 runs (5 earned) to give Auburn the early lead.� A triple, a single, and a 3-run homer gave Auburn a 3-0 lead in the 1st inning.� Dodson retired the side in order in both the 2nd and 3rd innings, but got into trouble again in the 4th.� A double, a throwing error by 3B Andy Vasquez, a single, and a wild pitch brought in one run.� A passed ball and another single added two more runs, and Auburn had a 6-0 lead.
The Spikes had runners on base in 5 of the first 7 innings, but were not able to push any of their base runners around to score.� They had the bases loaded with one out in the 5th, on a single by Vasquez, a walk to CF Mel Rojas, and a single through the hole into right field by Gourley.� A strikeout and a grounder force out ended the inning without a run scoring.
Then the Spikes got going in the 8th.� RF Adalberto Santos led off with a triple, and 1B Matt Curry walked.� Pat Irvine singled, scoring Santos.� Curry had moved to second base on a wild pitch, then on to third on Irvine's single, and he and Irvine both scored when DH Chase Lyles smashed the second triple of the inning.� C Matt Skirving doubled, bringing in Lyles, and Andy Vasquez brought in Skirving with a sacrifice fly.� The Spikes had moved to within one run of Auburn, 6-5.
Walker Gourley started the 9th inning rally with a bunt single.� In a strange play, Santos grounded up the middle and was safe at first base, but Gourley, who tried to reach third base on the play, was ruled out because he'd missed touching second base as he was running.� Spikes' manager Gary Robinson argued, but to no avail, and he was ejected for his efforts.� Santos advanced to second base on a balk, and he scored the tying run when Irvine doubled into center field.
Sandobal Septimo had pitched one scoreless inning, and Trent Stevenson gave the Spikes 3 more scoreless frames.� Jhonatan Ramos came on to pitch a 1-2-3 bottom of the 9th, sending the game into extra innings.� With one out in the top of the 10th, Vasquez dropped down a bunt and beat it out to first base.� A wild pitch moved him to second base, and both Rojas and Gourley walked, loading the bases.� Santos popped up, and was called out on the infield fly rule, but Matt Curry was the hero, with a single to short that allowed Vasquez to score the go-ahead run.� Ramos kept the Doubledays from scoring in the bottom of the inning, and the Spikes had their come-from-behind win.
Marauders and Spikes Win Shut-Outs
Sunday afternoon and evening with the Pirates' minor league affiliates…..as usual, the GCL Pirates are off today.� The West Virginia Power and the Hagerstown Suns apparently did not have any sun, and their game was postponed.� They will try for two on Monday.
Altoona Curve 6,� Trenton Thunder� 4 (box)
The Thunder thundered early, but the Curve stormed back with 6 runs in the 5th inning for the win.� C Kris Watts and LF/CF Anthony Norman each went 2-for-3, and Norman picked up 2 RBI.�� Starter Tony Watson lasted only 3 innings, and he gave up runs in each of those innings.� A hit batter and an RBI single gave Trenton one run in the 1st inning.� A lead off� home run began the 2nd inning, then a single, a ground-rule double, and a sacrifice fly added 2 more runs in the 2nd.� Another lead-off home run in the 3rd gave the Thunder a 4-0 lead.� Jared Hughes relieved Watson and pitched 5 scoreless innings, scattering 3 hits and 2 walks.� He was credited with the win, since he was the pitcher of record when the Curve took the lead.� Derek Hankins gave up a triple in the 9th, but left that runner stranded to earn his 5th save.
The Curve had posted only 2 hits over the first four innings.� Then came the fireworks in the 5th, when the Curve sent 10 batters to the plate.� DH Brandon Jones opened the inning with a walk, then singles by RF Miles Durham and Watts loaded the bases.� Norman bounced a ground-rule double over the wall in right field, scoring Jones and Durham.� 3B Josh Harrison singled, bringing in Watts.� Norman scored on a throwing error when the Thunder tried to pick-off Harrison.� The Thunder got two outs at that point, 1B Matt Hague singled, plating Harrison.� Hague stole second base, and scored on 2B Jordy Mercer's RBI single.� The Curve had only one hit in the rest of the game, a single by Norman, who was then caught stealing second base.
Irwin: 7 No-Hit Innings; Marauders Drop Two
A few roster notes:� RHP Teddy Fallon and LHP Justin Ennis were both promoted from State College to West Virginia.� Fallon was the Pirates' 43rd pick in the 2009 draft, and Ennis was the 33rd round pick in this year's draft.� RHP Tom Boleska has been promoted from Bradenton to Altoona.
Altoona's Bryan Morris has skipped a start, which the Pirates are calling just a "breather".� He has struggled in his last few starts, but has also stacked up the innings so far this season (103) and the Pirates want him to stay below 140 innings this season.
West Virginia Power� 9,� Hagerstown Suns� 1 (box)
Phillip Irwin pitched 7 no-hit innings for the Power tonight, before he had to be relieved due to his increasing pitch count.� Irwin struck out 8 batters in his 7 innings, and he allowed 2 walks.� He got off to a strong start when he struck out the side in the 1st inning, then struck out 2 more in the 2nd.� The first walk came in the 3rd inning, but that runner was immediately erased when the next batter lined right to 1B Aaron Baker, who stepped on first base for a double play.� The next 7 batters went down in order, until the 6th, when that same batter, C Sandy Leon, walked again.� This time Leon was forced out at second on a grounder, and another ground out ended the inning.� Irwin wrapped up his amazing evening with two more strikeouts in the 7th inning.
Ryan Kelly relieved Irwin and pitched the final two innings.� He allowed one hit, but it was a solo home run.� He also walked a batter in the 9th, and struck out 2 batters.
The rest of the team was busy giving Irwin and Kelly plenty of run support.� They piled up 16 hits, with everyone in the lineup reaching base at least one time, and all but SS Benji Gonzalez picking up at least one hit (Gonzalez had a walk).� 3B Elevys Gonzalez, Aaron Baker, and LF Rogelios Noris each had 3 hits.� Baker led off the 2nd inning with a solo home run.� CF David Rubinstein followed the homer with a double, and Noris added a single to put runners on the corners.� C Jairo Marquez lined a single into center field, scoring Rubinstein to give the Power an early 2-0 lead.
They boosted that lead in the 3rd inning, as they sent 11 batters to the plate and scored 7 runs.� Six of the first seven batters reached base safely:� 2B Jarek Cunningham and RF Jose Hernandez began with back-to-back singles, and Baker's double scored Cunningham (#1 run).� Rubinstein's sacrifice fly brought in Hernandez (#2).� Noris and DH Kyle Morgan goth singled, and Baker scored (#3).� Marquez doubled in Noris and Morgan (#4, 5), and sent the Hagerstown pitcher to the showers.� Benji Gonzalez flied out, but Elevys Gonzalez singled, plating Marquez (#6).� A fielding error on that play moved Elevys G to second base, and a wild pitch put him on third.� Cunningham's second single in the inning brought in Elevys G (#7), before a line out ended the inning.
The Power put at least one baserunner on in all but one of the remaining innings, but none of them were able to come around to score.
Three Hits For Avila, Three RBI for Noris
Wednesday, with games going on all afternoon and evening….
Bradenton Marauders� 3,� Tampa Yankees� 1 (box)
A 3-run 5th inning was all it took from the Marauders' bats this afternoon.� The inning began with 3B Jose De Los Santos reaching base on a fielding error.� RF Robbie Grossman singled, moving De Los Santos to third base, and LF Quincy Latimore doubled, scoring De Los Santos.� Both Grossman and Latimore scored on 1B Erik Huber's single into right field.� Huber stole second base, but was left there when the inning ended on a fly out. All three runs were unearned.
Those three hits were half of the Marauder's total for the game.� Latimore and Huber also singled in the 2nd inning, and C James Skelton walked, loading the bases, but three consecutive strikeouts ended the inning with all three runners still in place.� CF Austin McClune singled to lead off the 6th, 2B Adenson Chourio reached on a fielding error, but a double play ended the inning with Chourio forced out at second.� The Marauders went down in order in the last three innings of the game.
The only run the Yankees scored was also unearned.� Bradenton starter Aaron Pribanic pitched 5 innings and scattered 4 hits.� He came back out to begin the 6th, but was relieved after giving up a single and a walk.� Tom Boleska struck out the first batter he faced, then Skelton threw out the second runner as he tried to steal second in a double steal.� When the next batter reached on a throwing error by De Los Santos, the runner (who had stolen third base) scored from third.� Boleska pitched a scoreless 7th.� Tyler Cox allowed a single and a walk in the scoreless 8th.� Diego Moreno, who has finished his organizational suspension and has been reassigned to the Marauders, pitched a scoreless 9th, allowing just one walk.
Reliever Mike Colla has been promoted from the Marauders to AA Altoona, trading spots with Moreno.
Two Homers For Trinidad; Three Hits For Lyles and Grossman
Monday's action with the Pirates' lower minor league affiliates.� The West Virginia Power have a a scheduled day off.
GCL Pirates� 11,� GCL Braves� 3 (box)
The Pirates got in on the recent hit-o-rama fun the minor league teams have been having.� This afternoon, the Pirates collected 20 hits on their way to 11 runs.� 2B Kevin Mort went 5-for-5, all singles.� SS Jorge Bishop had 4 hits, including a double, and 2 RBI.� 1B Michaelangel Trinidad had 4 hits, two of which were home runs, and he knocked in 7 of the Pirates' 11 runs.
The fun started with 5 runs in the 2nd inning.� Trinidad's first homer was for 2 runs after Mort's first single, and it was followed by a walk to CF Chih-Wei Hsu and three doubles, by 3B Eric Avila, Bishop, and LF Exicardo Cayonez, for 3 more runs.� Trinidad blasted another 2-run homer in the 3rd inning, following another one of Mort's singles.� Bishop led off the 4th with a single, and he scored on two more singles, by RF Gregory Polanco and Mort.
Polanco, Mort, and Trinidad hit three consecutive singles in the 6th to add another run.� The Pirates' final two runs came in the 7th, on singles by Cayonez, C Elias Diaz, and Mort, with a 2-RBI double by Trinidad.
Vincent Payne pitched 4 innings in his 5th start for the Pirates.� He scattered 3 hits, and only one counted — a solo home run in the 4th inning.� He did not walk anyone, and he struck out 2 batters.� Bryton Trepagnier made his second pro appearance and earned his first win.� He gave up a single to the first batter he faced, but erased him with a double play, and retired the rest of the batters he faced in two innings.� Joan Montero also gave up a single and erased the runner with a double play in the 7th.� He also gave up two runs (one earned) on a single, a walk, a passed ball,� a wild pitch, and an RBI ground out in the 8th inning.� Dinesh Patel pitched a scoreless 9th inning, allowing only a single.

COIMBATORE: In an attempt to curb the rising incidents of burglary in the city, the police department has decided to up personnel on the streets during night hours.
An additional 100 policemen including more than 40 personnel from the armed reserve and men from other police units have been deployed on night patrol. The police have also decided to focus on curbing burglary and chain-snatching since there has been a rise in these crimes recently. The city force is probing into 32 crime cases that have been registered since last fortnight.
"We have intensified our patrolling system to ensure there is a police presence during night hours since chain snatching and burglaries are likely to be committed during this time," said AK Viswanathan, commissioner of police, Coimbatore city.
The city police have mobilised 34 patrol vehicles, 10 anti-snatching teams (AST) and 24 two-wheeler patrol squads in the city to prevent and detect criminal activities. Special vehicle-checking teams are being deployed during evening, night and early morning hours in an attempt to nab chain snatchers. Senior police officials claim that majority of the snatchers operate during these hours using stolen motorcycles.
"We are focussing on burglars and chain snatchers. We are sure that the increased police presence will help nab burglars and resolve pending cases. This will automatically act as a deterrent to criminals," said T Senthilkumar, deputy commissioner (Crime and Traffic), Coimbatore City Police.
Police personnel are compiling a database of profiles of known chain snatchers and burglars along with their modus operandi and nature of operation to be used as reference for its crime detection team.
Women police personnel will be deployed as decoy targets on streets where multiple incidents of chain snatching have occurred in the past to nab chain snatchers. A separate 'lurking' team will also be operating in the city in plain clothes in select areas scanning for potential criminals who often conduct a daytime recce to fix particular residences to strike during the night.
"Residents should also remain alert and co-operate with our team to curb crime. They should take all necessary precaution and safety measures in their homes," Viswanathan added.
The crime units of the city police have registered 249 cases this year alone till April 30 out of which 184 have been detected with an overall recovery rate of 68 percent. In 2011, 979 cases were registered out of which 695 cases were detected with 71 percent recovery rate. The city police have identified Peelamedu, Saravanampatti, Singanallur areas as the most crime prone areas under their limits. The city police are also expected to formally introduce new provisions using mobile SMS and email to alert the police whenever residents go for a prolonged vacation.
