Projecting SP wins: My updated top 10

Like gerben said, use the actual correct way to Exit Waze which is the Switch Off button in the main menu. Otherwise, Waze just runs in the background and then you force-kill it. Not the right way to do it at all.
Using an in app menu is not the normal way to exit an iOS app or any mobile app for that matter. It shouldn't give errors for quitting.
HarveyMRichards wrote:I think sivigamer is saying that the normal iOS way to fully exit an app is to double click the home button, which brings up the recent apps, hold down an app and when the app jiggles, click on the upper left (-) button.
So, when I use the switch off button within the Waze menu, does Waze cease to operate even though it's still active in the recent apps list?

I delete Waze from memory to avoid being tracked at home, at work, etc.
The issue persists even after doing a clean install of the app (deleting, hard-reset phone, reinstall).

Need a quick reply before these are gone! Looking to buy my first set of wheels and tires. Found a set locally...I know these wont fit with my stock suspension height without trimming, but I'd like to grab these if they're a good deal and put them on when I install my lift kit. I'm relatively new to the offroad scene, so I'm not quite sure about pricing all terrain tires and wheel combos yet.
16x8 Ultra wheels in matte black, on 285/75/16 BF Goodrich AT's mounted and balanced. They came off his '07 4x4 Taco, so they are the correct lug pattern. 14/32 still on the tires.
The seller is asking $950 for the set of 4. He's had them up for a few weeks, and claims they're sitting in his garage...what do you think I should offer him?

Thanks in advance!

Publisher's Description
Our world is alive with fascinating new ideas, discoveries, and technologies. But for Christians this can also present problems-especially when the values of postmodernism and secular university life conflict with basic Christian principles. What should Christians do when their beliefs come under attack in the classroom or the public square?
Loving God with All Your Mind shows us that the answer is neither wholesale rejection of intellectual life and culture, nor blind acceptance of it. The answer lies in understanding that Jesus is Lord of all of life and that everything in life must be carefully viewed in the light of what Christ's lordship means. Gene Edward Veith unfolds a dazzling critique of the postmodern intellectual world and culture. He affirms the part that is good and true, but he also shows crucial weaknesses that have such a hold over contemporary thought. This book shows Christians how to survive and flourish in a postmodern world while affirming the truth of the Christian faith.

Posted: Jul 21, 2014 5:47 AM by Meteorologist Josh Eachus
Skies will be partly sunny for much of the day. Any isolated shower and storm activity is expected to keep south of I-10, and really only be prevalent near the coast. A very humid day is ahead as high temperatures warm to the 90° mark.
Look for mostly clear skies tonight with sticky lows in the mid 70s.

403(b) Plan Survey To Benchmark Trends And Best Practices
Millions of people save for retirement in 403(b) plans sponsored by non-profit organizations and public schools, colleges and universities. Those plan sponsors continue to grapple with dramatic regulatory change against a backdrop of a slowly recovering economy.
To bring these organizations essential information on how others are managing their 403(b) retirement programs, the Plan Sponsor Council of America (PSCA) and Principal Financial Group® announce the fifth annual PSCA 403(b) Plan Survey.
Non-profit organizations that participate will receive a free copy of the survey report and an invitation to a webinar that provides an in-depth discussion of the results.
"Last year's webinar was very well-attended because 403(b) sponsors are eager to compare their plans with others across the nation. The survey is the only one that provides the kind of detailed information about 403(b) plans," Bob Benish, interim president and executive director of PSCA. "Strong participation from sponsors will increase the richness of the benchmarking information."
The survey, at http://www.psca.org/2013-403bsurvey, will take less 15 minutes to complete and must be submitted by March 15, 2013. The survey includes a glossary of terms used and a worksheet to help the plan sponsor gather data and fill out the survey. The results will be available in May and will provide valuable benchmarking data on:- Plan education

These shorts, shown on atomfilms.com and now making the festival circuit, are cute but gross little quickies created by Darren Walsh of Aardman, one of the filmmakers who worked on Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run. They draw a crowd both because nobody can really get the full experience from the Internet, and because they are funny with just the right touch of vulgarity.
What's really interesting about the shorts is the clever mix of live action and pixelation (the actor must be moved like a puppet frame by frame), with mask replacement and claymation putting a new head on the body. After more than 40 years, Walsh finally found a use for claymation that really works.

Tomato soup is time-tested comfort food. This recipe calls for canned San Marzano tomatoes and a quick purée with an immersion blender—it requires a small amount of patience but yields an enormously soothing payoff. Needless to say, it cries out for the perfect grilled cheese sandwich.
What to buy: San Marzanos are a plum tomato variety with thick flesh, relatively few seeds, and a sweeter, less acidic flavor than other tomato varieties. Canned San Marzanos imported from Italy have consistently good flavor. They're widely available at supermarkets and Italian groceries.
- 1Place a medium saucepan over medium-low heat and add the oil and butter. When the butter melts, add the onion and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is completely soft, about 15 minutes. (If at any point the onion looks like it's beginning to brown, reduce the heat.) Add the garlic and optional red pepper flakes and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally.
- 2Increase the heat to medium and add the tomatoes and their juices to the pan. Roughly crush the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon and cook until they're hot and beginning to soften, about 10 minutes. Add the broth or water and bring to a simmer. Cook at a medium simmer until the tomatoes begin to fall apart, about 15 minutes.
- 3Remove the soup from the heat and cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Purée the soup directly in the saucepan using an immersion blender, or use a countertop blender, carefully puréeing the soup in a couple of batches until smooth. Return the soup to the burner over low heat and stir in the cream. Add black pepper, then taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed. Serve in warmed bowls, as is or topped with the garnishes of your choice.

Original Java Specification Request (JSR)
Identification | Request | Contributions
Section 1: Identification
Section 2: Request
This JSR proposes the revision of the Java Advanced Imaging API 1.0 specification to version 1.1. The purpose of this revision is to add functionality which has been requested by customers, revise existing functionality in the light of customer feedback, and improve the interoperability of the Java Advanced Imaging API with other Java standard extensions (e.g., Java 3D).
The 1.1 specification will standardize a framework for the development of image analysis prototypes and applications, allowing workers in this area to count on a standard set of concepts, terminology, and features. Developing a more detailed description of the work to be done in this area will be part of the architectural process.
In particular, it is assumed that the Java Advanced Imaging API will most often be used as a 'back-end' engine by Java 3D to process an image data set for inclusion in a Java 3D scene graph. Joint work between the Java Advanced Imaging API and Java 3D API teams will define the necessary architectural features.
This JSR specifically excludes modifications to areas of the architecture not named above.
It is possible that the revisions to the Java Advanced Imaging API may make revisions in the Java 2D API desirable; any such revisions will be negotiated with the Java 2D API team in the proper timeframe.

Forum List » Guru News and Commentaries Guru News, Stock picks and commentaries Donald Smith's Q3 Portfolio Updates: Two New Stocks Are StanCorp Financial and Nabors Industries
Posted by: Dianne Tordillo

Guru investor Donald Smith of New-York based Donald Smith & Co. Inc. investment firm, has reported a total of 31 transactions in its third quarter portfolio updates, consisting of:
Donald Smith follows a strict bottom-up investment approach, investing in stocks that are out of favor, "that sell in the bottom decile of price-to-tangible book value ratios, and that have significant earnings potential over the next 2-4 years," according to Donaldsmithandco.com. The stocks in the firm's portfolio have an average investment holding period of approximately three years. The firm also offers five long-only funds: All Cap Value Equity, Large Cap Concentrated Value Equity, Midcap Value Equity, Small Cap Value Equity and Micro Cap Value Equity. As of the end of the third quarter, Donald Smith's portfolio had a total of 95 stocks, with a total value of $3.3 billion and quarter-over-quarter turnover rate of 5%. The firm's top five holdings are: 1. Ingram Micro Inc. (IM) at 4.9% ownership 2. Dillards Inc. (DDS) at 4.5% ownership 3. Granite Real Estate Inc. (GRP) at 4.5% ownership 4. Micron Technology Inc. (MU) at 4.2% ownership 5. JetBlue Airways Corp. (JBLU) at 4.2% ownership The fund's sector weightings are as follows:
In summary, Donald Smith targets stocks that are out of favor, and have a large margin of safety as well as attractive pricing and valuations, while trying to minimize absolute risks. For the third quarter, he had only two new buys: StanCorp Financial Group Inc. (SFG) and Nabors Industries Ltd. (NBR), stocks that belong in the first and third largest sectors represented in Donald Smith's portfolio. StanCorp Financial Inc. (SFG) Donald Smith's new holding of financial services provider StanCorp Financial (SFG) amounts to 245,856 shares. Headquartered in Portland, Ore., StanCorp is parent to several subsidiaries that offer an array of insurance coverage, marketed as Standard Insurance Company, Standard Retirement Services, StanCorp Mortgage Investors, StanCorp Investment Advisers and StanCorp Real Estate, to name a few. The company has a market cap of $1.48 billion, and is currently trading at $33.09 per share. Ranking in the bottom half of Business Predictability, its revenue growth percentage trends positively at a rate of 9.2 percent in a 10-year time frame, while its operating margin, though having experienced an unstable trend in the last five years, suffers a negative growth trend at a rate of 4.37 percent. Despite its growth margin, along with its operating margin, in a five-year decline, shareholders are seeing growing returns, as well as low P/E and P/B ratios in its trading activity; its P/E ratio is close to its 10-year low and its P/B ratio is close to its 1-year low. GuruFocus ranks StanCorp Financial a 5 out of 10 in Financial Strength and 6 out of 10 in Profitability and Growth. View the company's 10-Year Financials to see where it stands financially. Nabors Industries Ltd. (NBR) Donald Smith's new holding of oil and gas drilling company Nabors Industries (NBR) totaled 70,000 shares. A company worth $3.81 billion, Bermuda-based Nabors Industries provides land and platform drilling contract services for the purposes of exploration and development of oil, gas and geothermal wells, expanding its services worldwide. Nabors is trading at a one-year low of $13.29; it has traded at a minimum price of $13.01 and a maximum price of $16.70. Similar to Smith's StanCorp Financial stock, Nabors shows a rising revenue within a 10-year time frame, at a rate of 12.6 percent, while its operating margin shows less stability with a negatively tilted trend line. In turn, Nabors has a 1-star Business Predictability, as well as a mediocre Financial Strength of 5 out of 10 and a Profitability and Growth Rank of 4 out of 10.

Does Rush Limbaugh belong on armed forces radio? Criticism mounts.
The Armed Forces Network broadcasts the 'Rush Limbaugh Show.' But Limbaugh's 'slut' comment only reinforces negative military stereotypes about women, leading some veterans to start a petition against the show.
Micah Walter/Reuters/File
Will the Pentagon pull Rush Limbaugh's radio show from the armed forces radio network?
Broadcast to troops in bases throughout the world and aboard US Navy ships, the network's self-described mission is to provide "a touch of home" for service members overseas.
Yet as the furor over Mr. Limbaugh's description of a Georgetown University student as a "slut" reaches troops overseas, US military veterans as well as soldiers serving in Afghanistan are asking the Pentagon to drop Limbaugh's radio program from its lineup.
An organization of some 100,000 US military veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, VoteVets.org, is also circulating a petition calling for the removal of Limbaugh's show from the US military's network, and signatures on it are growing everyday, says Maj. Jon Soltz, the chairman of VoteVets.org.
There are currently more than 11,000 military veterans and family members who have signed the petition.
In denigrating the student, who testified on Capitol Hill in favor of health-care coverage of birth control, Limbaugh "is commenting not on an individual, but on all women," says Major Soltz, who returned from his second tour of duty in Iraq in December. "The government shouldn't be promoting the type of content that essentially disrespects all women in the military who use contraception."

Steve McClaren has two games to save job at Wolfsburg
Steve McClaren is facing the sack at Wolfsburg after being blamed for their poor start to the season. The former England coach has two games to save his job, starting against Hoffenheim today and Energie Cottbus in the German Cup on Wednesday. Under pressure: Steve McLaren Wolfsburg are one of Germany's biggest spenders, but the board expect a return and have lost patience with their summer appointment. Francisco Garcia Sanz, the club chairman, left McClaren looking increasingly isolated as he pointedly absolved managing director Dieter Hoeness of blame. 'We did not envisage being 14th in the table and are definitely not happy,' he said. 'But we still have every confidence in Dieter.' McClaren tried to be philosophical, saying: 'It's natural there will be speculation. I must just try and win on Saturday.' Explore more:People: Steve McClaren Places: United Kingdom, Germany

In their essays, metro-area students show us the simple, heartfelt ways in which they make the world a better place.
These elementary students from across the metro area wrote the winning essays telling how they will "live united."
Photo: Photos by MARLIN LEVISON • firstname.lastname@example.com,
Living united isn't as hard as it sounds.
That's what we discovered when the Greater Twin Cities United Way and the Star Tribune asked local elementary students how they put those words into action.
Hundreds of students in grades three through five from across the metro area wrote essays about how they make a difference by doing things like standing up to bullys, celebrating their differences, donating gloves to a homeless person or Halloween costumes to kids without them.
These simple, everyday acts aren't heroic — they're something even better: caring.
As Kaija Kunze-Hoeg, our first-place winner said, " … just being involved can have a big impact."
For her essay, Kaija will receive a $500 Visa gift card from U.S. Bancorp. The nine runners-up — Holden Scott, Ella Passe, Joey Khoury, Jaiden Williams, Trevor Piehl, Lydia Schmitz, Themi Megas, Carson Berlin and Yones Mahamed — will each receive a $100 Visa gift card.
Poll: If the state's $1.9B surplus were "fun money," how would you spend it?

Age and health history can affect the risk of developing bowel cancer.
Both men and women are at risk of developing bowel cancer. The risk is greater if you -
- are aged 50 years or over.
- have a family history of bowel cancer.
- have a personal history of cancer of the colon, rectum, ovary, endometrium, or breast.
- have a history of polyps in the colon.
- have a history of ulcerative colitis (ulcers in the lining of the large intestine) or Crohn's disease.
- have certain hereditary conditions, such as familial adenomatous polyposis and hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC; Lynch Syndrome).
There is emerging evidence regarding type 2 (usually non-insulin dependent) diabetes as a potential risk factor for bowel cancer, however further research is required.
- REMEMBER: However old you are, you should never be told by your doctor that you are too young to have bowel cancer. Whilst bowel cancer is more common in people aged 50+, bowel cancer increasingly affects all age groups.
If you have higher-risk symptoms, do not accept 'you're too young to have bowel cancer' as an explanation for your symptoms - ask your doctor to be referred for further investigations.

Time: Around 7 a.m., or upon first rising
I imagine this might be a sort of "continental breakfast" as we call it here it the US...tea, breads, butter, jelly, etc.
Second Breakfast
Time: Around 9 a.m.
This I see as a more "American breakfast." Eggs, bacon, sausage, oatmeal, pancakes, the works.
Time: As the name suggests, around 11 a.m.
A snack to tide one over until luncheon. Tea, toast and jam, maybe some little sandwiches. Sort of a "morning tea."
Time: Around 1 p.m.
A fairly large, multi-course meal. Soup, a main course of meat, a selection of side vegetables depending on the season, wine, bread, etc.
Time: Around 3 p.m.
Your typical English afternoon tea. Tea (duh!), sandwiches, cookies, pastries.
Time: Around 6 p.m.
I see this as the big meal of the day. Several courses, always some sort of big meat dish (stew, roast lamb, stuffed chickens, etc.). No dessert though, I'm saving that for.....
Time: Around 9 p.m.
A last meal of the day to tide one over until morning. Just some very light dishes, some savory, some sweet. Defintely time for tea and dessert.
I think the times are flexible, and would very likely change with the seasons, as would the content of the meals, with some meals possibly even skipped during the warm summer months. A long time ago, on another board, I had a fun (but hungry!) time putting together a full hobbit menu for an autumn day...if I can dig that up, I can give a better idea of how I define these meals.
What do you think? Any other ideas?
Re: Hobbit Feeding Habits
I think that a lot of this has come out of the scene from FotR with Pippin babbling on about 2nd breakfast and "Elevenses".
Hobbits like to eat, but perhaps not all of these set meals:
"[Hobbits] laugh deep fruity laughs (especailly after dinner, which they have twice a day when they can get it)" emphasis mine. From Ch. 1 of The Hobbit
My take on it is they have four set meals per day: breakfast, dinner, tea and supper, with dinner and supper being fairly substantial, and tea optional for people who are involved in outdoor work - gardening, farming, herding, building. I also assume that no healthy hobbit turns down an offer of food, and that they will have a cup of tea and something to nibble on intermixed with any of these regular meals, when they can get it.
I also suspect they do not eat as much at a meal as we think. These are small, energetic people, who are involved for the most part in reasonably heavy physical labor on most days. They are going to build up big appetites with as much energy as they expend. If they do not eat so much at a single sitting as a Big Person, they may have to eat more often than we do in order to keep their energy levels up.
But are they routinely going to be sitting down to *seven* meals? Perhaps on feast days, or among certain well-to-do families, but not as a rule. The Maggots, for example, eat one large supper, and go to bed:
" 'It's near sundown already, and we are going to have supper; for we mostly go to bed soon after the Sun.' "
which would place that last meal of the day at different times depending upon the season. I think two meals (one large, one more likely just fruit & cheese & a good smoke) in the summer, but only the single meal in winter at the end of the day.
Anyway, my point is just that I think that one scene from the movie is having undue influence on people's perception of Hobbit eating habits. Four meals (three - no tea - if you're out working in the fields) plus a lot of nibbling and snacking over the course of the day. An extra meal, with pipes & ale & good company, always appreciated.

Re: Hobbit Feeding Habits
However, I'm trying to figure out what would be the proper defintion of ALL the POSSIBLE hobbit meals...not to imply that all such meals would be eaten in the course of one day. For example, if I listed all the possible meals of a 21st century middle-class American, I'd probably include something like "brunch" on the list, even though very few of us eat brunch with any regularity. The definition would be along the lines of "a meal eaten after breakfast but earlier than lunch, usually featuring a hearty selection of breakfast-themed foods, such as eggs. Most popularly eaten on Sundays."
However, now I'm going to have to do some book-digging, because I definitely remember seeing the NAMES of those seven meals in print...NOT just in the movie...and being surprised that the movie had picked them up so exactly. So I don't think that's a complete "Jacksonism."
EDIT: I've done some book-digging and can't find the exact NAMES of those meals, although I'm sure they're spread throughout the book somewhere. I did, however, find this, from "Concerning Hobbits:"
"And laugh they did, and eat, and drink, often and heartily, being fond of...six meals a day (when they could get them)."
Which I interpret as meaning that six meals a day was the preferred way for hobbits to eat, even if that was not always possible.
What I'm mostly curious about is what would be the bigger end-of-day meal: dinner or supper? If I base this on the types of rural European communites that my parents grew up in, the last meal of the day would definitely be the lightest. My father's family, for example, would have a very light breakfast, usually just coffee and bread, an ENORMOUS multi-course midday meal that lasted about two hours, and then a very light "supper" in the evening, sometimes no more than some vegetables or bread and cheese. Regardless of the time of year, no one ever ate a big meal right before going to bed (that's an innovation of our culture, which may explain why so many of us are overweight insomniacs!).
Jo, here's my old menu, which now that I look at it, was obviously composed when I was in a state of acute starvation or, at the least, deprivation. Please note: this menu is for entertainment purposes only, not legitimate fanficking.
French toast topped with butter, whipped cream, walnuts and maple syrup; hickory smoked bacon; tea with plenty of cream.
Second Breakfast
Eggs scrambled with cream and chives served over shredded potato pancakes; maple sausages; tea.
I'm seeing either a hearty soup...potatoes and smoked ham, etc, sandwiches on the side of ham and cheddar on biscuits....or perhaps roast chicken with plenty of roasted potatoes and gravy; apple cider, lemonade or iced tea.
My personal favorite. Raspberry squares. Biscuits. Muffins. Lemon curd. Strawberry jam. Sweet farmhouse butter. Strong, dark tea made thick and sweet with sugar and cream.
This would be the biggest meal of the day, wouldn't it? Start off with soup...squash? Wild mushroom with cheese toasts? Parsnip and carrots? Then how about thick beef stew with turnips and diced potatoes and tiny onions? Or chicken pot pie...diced chicken with mushrooms and potatoes and onions simmering in a creamy sauce and topped with buttery, flaky, thyme-scented crust? Then maybe a "white" salad on the side...escarole and green apples, topped with walnuts and a light, white wine dressing. To drink? Old Winyards, of course!
A lighter meal to end the day. How about a cheddar cheese/ham/potato bake? Mushroom and cheese pie? Chicken and dumpling soup? And NOW it's time for dessert. Oh, baby...country-style plum tart with crumb topping in a sugar-coated crust. Or spicy apple crisp with whipped cream on the side. Or a flaming plum pudding, covered in brandy. Or winter bread pudding in cream sauce. Or mincemeat tartlets with hard sauce. Or....
Before Bed
Not an official hobbit meal, but come on, you can't go to bed on an "empty" stomach...just a little something...warm milk with honey and nutmeg. Or warm mulled wine. Maybe just a couple of gingersnaps. Or shortbread.
Damn it, my mouth's watering.
Re: Hobbit Feeding Habits
Re: Hobbit Feeding Habits
In defense of more meals, however, and going from my memory rather than actually looking things up here, Frodo, Sam and Pippin have one dinner with the Maggots and then turn around and have another right away at Crickhollow, do they not? Also, I'm very sure I saw something recently about someone having a second breakfast. I think it was Bilbo in "The Hobbit", but when I looked for it I couldn't find it...
Re: Hobbit Feeding Habits
Re: Hobbit Feeding Habits
Re: Hobbit Feeding Habits
Another thought hit me, though it may not be directly relevant. This was written before the Green Revolution and the advent of indusdtrial farming which has greatly reduced simple starvation and under-nourishment in the West (we won't get into the bass-ackwards social policies of the US, no we won't Ang, don't go there), when even in a nation like England, hunger was a real and constant issue. LotR was written during WWII under conditions of rationing. It makes a great deal of sense that emphasizing the availability of food - and the sheer enjoyment of eating and having such meals with others - would be a mark of how peaceful and admirable the Shire is.
To me, it is of a piece with how Gandalf was moved by the compassion and care of the Shire Hobbits for each other during times of disaster, like the Long Winter. I get the feeling that Hobbits expect to see many people at the table, not just their family, when they sit down. Relatives, friends, and other genial visitors. Bilbo may have been startled by all the Dwarves showing up on his doorstep, but he would never think of turning them away.

He has played in Major League Baseball since 1995 as a member of the New York Mets, Minnesota Twins, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants, Baltimore Orioles, Colorado Rockies, New York Yankees, Houston Astros, Milwaukee Brewers, and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Hawkins was drafted straight out of Gary West high school by the Minnesota Twins in the 1991 amateur draft, and spent the next four years in the Twins' minor league system. His major league debut early in the 1995 season was a disastrous start against the Baltimore Orioles, where he gave up seven earned runs in only an inning and two thirds of work. During his brief stint in the Majors during 1995, Hawkins made 6 starts with a 2-3 record and an 8.67 ERA. Hawkins bounced between the big league club and Salt Lake of the PCL between 1996 and 1997, compiling a 7-13 record in those years.
By the 1998 season, Hawkins was inserted into the Twins rotation. He led the team with 33 starts but also led the team in most runs allowed (126), walks (70) and the worst WHIP among Twins starters (1.53). He was the opposing starting pitcher during the perfect game by Yankees pitcher David Wells on May 17, 1998.
In 1999, Hawkins suffered one of the worst statistical season in the Majors and in his career. His 6.66 ERA was the worst in the Majors among starters with at least 30 starts. He was tied with Brad Radke for most losses on the team and allowed the most home runs on the pitching staff.
By the year 2000, Hawkins was in the Twins bullpen, appearing in 66 games while sporting an ERA of 3.39 along with 14 saves.
2001 saw Hawkins revert to poorness, having one of the worst statistical seasons for a closer in the history of the MLB. He led the Twins in saves (28) but he had 5.96 ERA while having a WHIP of 1.91 in 61 games.
Hawkins rebounded the next two seasons, combining to pitch in 139 games while being replaced as closer by Eddie Guardado. He also had ERA's of 2.13 and 1.86 respectively.
Hawkins became a free agent after the 2003 season.
Hawkins drew interest from a number of teams before signing a three-year, $11 million deal with the Chicago Cubs after the 2003 season. Hawkins was signed by the Cubs to pitch the 8th inning to set up for Joe Borowski, but Borowski went down with an injury early in the season, and Hawkins took over closing duties. On September 11, Hawkins struck out the side on only nine pitches in a game against the Florida Marlins. Despite a better-than-average ERA of 2.63 on the year and 25 saves, Hawkins blew 9 saves on the year, including two during a late-September skid that cost the Cubs the wild card. These blown saves earned him the ire of Cubs fans, who made a habit of booing him loudly at Wrigley Field when he came on in relief.
Hawkins appeared in 21 games for the Cubs in 2005 before being traded to the Giants. When Hawkins came back in 2005 as a member of the San Francisco Giants the Cub fans chanted "Hawkins Sucks! Hawkins Sucks!" which angered then manager Dusty Baker and first baseman Derrek Lee.
On May 28, 2005 the Cubs traded Hawkins to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for pitchers Jerome Williams and David Aardsma. Upon arrival in San Francisco, Hawkins was initially converted back into a set-up role, with the team cautiously optimistic about a return to form. However, Hawkins only showed brief flashes of his previous ability en route to a league-average performance for the Giants.
Between the Cubs & Giants, Hawkins 2005 record was 2-8 in 66 games. He had more hits than innings pitched while having a WHIP of 1.46.
Following the 2005 season, Hawkins was traded to the Baltimore Orioles for left-handed reliever Steve Kline. He spent one season with the Orioles, going 3-2 with a 4.48 ERA in 60 games. He became a free agent after the season.
On December 5, 2006, Hawkins signed a one-year, $3.25 million contract with the Colorado Rockies. On July 8, 2007, Hawkins was the only Colorado player to help the groundskeepers and the entire Philadelphia ballclub with the tarp during a heavy storm in Denver.[1] Despite pitching in the hitter-friendly Coors Field, he posted a 3.42 ERA in 62 appearances, including a scoreless 7th inning in the wild card playoff against San Diego. Hawkins gave up only one run and two hits in five innings of postseason work for the National League champions. Hawkins was part of the Rockies team that went to the World Series for the first time ever but ended up losing the series to the Boston Red Sox after only 4 games.
On December 9, 2007, Hawkins signed a one-year contract with the New York Yankees, reportedly worth $3.75 million. He became the first player since outfielder Paul O'Neill to wear the jersey number 21 for the Yankees. [2] However, after returning from a road trip on April 16, he changed his number to 22 in response to the fans' booing, yelling, and calling O'Neill's name when he took the field.[3]
On May 20, 2008, during a game vs. the Baltimore Orioles, Hawkins threw a head-high pitch over left fielder Luke Scott. Hawkins was ejected by home plate umpire Chuck Meriwether and Scott accused him for throwing the ball over his head. Hawkins was suspended for 3 games and fined an undisclosed amount.[4]
Hawkins was designated for assignment on July 26. During his time with the Yankees in 2008, Hawkins made 33 relief appearances going 1-1 with a 5.71 ERA.
On July 30, 2008 the Houston Astros acquired Hawkins from the Yankees for minor leaguer Matt Cusick.[5] Hawkins was an integral part of the Astros' late-season run, pitching 21 innings out of the bullpen and allowing just one earned run over that span (good for a 0.43 ERA). Hawkins signed a 1-year deal with the Astros to return for the 2009 season.[6]
Hawkins continued his success in Houston, sporting an ERA of 2.13 in 65 games, the lowest ERA he had since 2003. He also saved 11 games. After the 2009 season, Hawkins left as a free agent.
On December 16, 2009, Hawkins signed a deal with the Milwaukee Brewers for 2 years and $7.5 million.[7]
In 2010, he was 0-3 while only appearing in 18 games due to injury.[8]
In 2011, he was 3-1 with a 2.42 ERA in 52 games.[9] Through 2011, he was third of all active pitchers in career games pitched (823) behind Arthur Rhodes and Mariano Rivera.[9]
The Angels and LaTroy Hawkins agreed to terms on a one-year contract for the 2012 season.[10] Hawkins earned three million dollars, going 2-3 with a 3.64 ERA.
LaTroy Hawkins signed a minor league deal with invitation to spring training with New York Mets on January 31, 2013. He ended up making the team, playing in 72 games and ending the season with a 3-2 record and 13 saves (his most since 2004 with the Cubs) with a 2.93 ERA.
Hawkins signed a one year, $2.5 million contract to return to the Colorado Rockies on November 19, 2013, pending a physical.[11] The contract became official on November 22, 2013.[12] Hawkins was named the Rockies' closer for the 2014 season. On September 27th, 2014, Hawkins made his 1,000th career appearance vs the Los Angeles Dodgers and promptly got Darwin Barney to fly out to right field.

A new effort by churches and a synagogue in Cedar Rapids and Marion is offering another shelter option for homeless families in Eastern Iowa.
13 area churches are participating in Family Promise of Linn County, the local affiliate of a national program that organizes churches to shelter and feed homeless families. Family Promise also provides support for parents' job-hunting and other efforts to get back on their feet.
"In the past six months, I've only had two single beds available because I've had so many families," said Larissa Ruffin, manager of the St. John of the Cross Catholic Worker House. "I have a family of six moving on Friday, and I have seven people ready to move in. There's no end to it in sight."
Ruffin said she reserves 18 of the 20 beds at Catholic Worker House, 1027 Fifth Ave. SE, for families.
One family's story
After the violence of Chicago began to threaten the lives of their children, Vincent and Monique Nelson decided they needed a different future for their family. They gave away all of their belongings, and with four kids and seven suitcases, they came to Cedar Rapids, knowing they would be homeless once the bus ride was over.
On Dec. 21, after nearly two months in the Catholic Worker House, the Nelson family found their own home in Cedar Rapids with the help of caseworkers. Before they had fully moved out of the shelter, workers were getting another family and several individuals to fill their room.
The couple said it was painful to hear other families calling for space while their family was staying there.
"When you hear that phone ring as much as you do, it hurts," Monique said.
"I am out on the streets with my family, with my wife in the streets just like the next person." Vincent said. "But to hear that phone ring all day, and they always say, "We're full, please call back at a later time, a later date." We had to get out there and take care of our business. I´m so grateful to be able to give up that room for another family."
Ruffin said she has regular contact with families facing a night on the street.
"I've had a lot of people call in and say they're sleeping on the streets, there's nothing they can do," she said. "(Family Promise) might eliminate that problem."
"We keep the families intact," said Stefanie Munsterman-Robinson, president of the local chapter's board. "A lot of shelters for safety reasons have to separate the children from the parent."
Eastern Iowans in need
The most recent survey by the Linn County Continuum of Care Planning and Policy Committee found 87 children homeless the night of July 25. Children were 24 percent of the 362 homeless counted that night, consistent with previous counts conducted every January and July.
"We don't generally find families in the street because they are many times given priority to get in a shelter," said Ann Hearn, the county's deputy director of community planning. "They might get into trouble with DHS (the state Department of Human Services), so they're going to do everything they can to get them into a shelter."
"It's a huge commitment for a congregation, but it's a blessing," said the Rev. Jim Langley of Echo Hills Presbyterian Church in Marion. "I think it blesses the congregation as much as the people who stay here."
Family Promise will shelter families for up to 120 days — long enough for a parent to find a job and save enough for rent, deposit and utilities.
"For some families it may be much shorter than that, but realistically it could start stretching out to that 90- to 100-day window," said Becky Knudson, the local affiliate's executive director and case manager.
Host churches prepare a secure, private space for families to spend the night and provide breakfast, a brown-bag lunch and dinner. During the day, families are provided transportation to Family Promise's day center at First Presbyterian Church. The church, at 310 Fifth St. SE, provides showers, a laundry, and a mailing address and telephone for job hunts.
Family Promise also provides job counseling and help with planning and goal-setting.
"This may be an empty place many days, because we hope they'll be working" while children attend school or day care, Knudson said. "We're trying to make this as homelike as we can."
Shelter duties are rotated among participating churches. Organizers estimate a church would host a family every three to four months.
At Echo Hill, "we basically converted classrooms into hotel rooms," Langley said. "We want people to feel at home when they come in and we want them to consider the facility as their own."

Fresh: Perhaps a touch on the corny side and undeniably broad, Kid is a ridiculously rewarding drama that puts pure sincerity to marvelous use, inflating a mild underdog story into an inspiring tale of education and developing friendship.

Fresh: Avildsen crafted an inspired movie with the perfect mix of 80's bravado and 70's artistic integrity.

Audience Reviews
There won't every truly be a movie like this, it's about as close to Rocky as teen movies will ever get. With a combination of bloodthirsty villains (Cobra Kai) that only the 80s could produce and wisdom from Mr. Miyagi, you're truly in for a ride of your life. Nice guys don't come more clean cut than Ralph Macchio, he's very much the Sly Stone of teen stars. You just feel so much compassion for his character, maybe because he's such an underdog. The story itself is so powerful and uplifting that it's impossible to not fall in love with. On top of that it's beautifully shot and executed in a way that few movies at the time were. It's a fun and serious movie at the same time.

"Wax on... wax off. Wax on... wax off." A handyman/martial arts master agrees to teach a bullied boy karate and shows him that there is more to the martial art than fighting. REVIEW Dont know too many who hated this, the story of toothpick sized kid (Macchio) from Jersey who gets a daily beating from Valley boys after moving to California. A harmless looking handyman surprises the hell out of Macchios' tormentors one night, and one of the most memorable relationships on screen was created. Mr. Miyagi and Daniel, the older oriental and the young teenager are two of the best characters you'll ever see. Everybody will forever remember "wax on, wax off," Morita's many "Daniel-sans!," or one of the most recognizable poses ever, the Crane Technique. The climax is extremely uplifting and unless you're horribly unemotional, you'll smile everytime.

KRK Systems® Releases ERGO™, Powerful Room Audio Correction System
Hollywood, Fla. – (January 31, 2008) – KRK Systems, a leading manufacturer of studio monitors and recording control room solutions, is proud to announce the release of ERGO, a digital room analysis and correction system. ERGO (Enhanced Room Geometry Optimization) is compatible with all recording and monitoring systems and improves any studio mixing space by correcting for "real world" acoustic problems. At $799, ERGO delivers the most sophisticated room correction at a fraction of the cost of traditional room treatments.
The ERGO connects to a PC via Firewire when it is performing its room analysis, but since all correction processing resides in ERGO, no overhead is needed from the computer audio system. This means that ERGO can function in pure analog systems since it can work as a stand-alone room correction/speaker control unit after room analysis is complete. The ERGO hardware contains a thousand precision filters to control the audio environment, adapting and correcting virtually any mixing space, from home-based digital audio workstations to professional recording studios. In short, ERGO makes any monitor system more accurate by reducing "bad" room sound, resulting in mixes that translate well to any listening environment.
In developing ERGO, KRK teamed up with the acoustics experts at Lyngdorf Audio and integrated their patented "Room Perfect" 3D room analysis and correction algorithms to provide the best room correction solution available. The technology analyzes and compensates for undesirable room acoustics which can negatively impact audio mixdowns. "Lyngdorf is the world-leader in room correction technology," says Tony Rodrigues, Vice-President of Technology and Business Development for KRK Systems. "ERGO melds this technology into a real-world form factor with controls that are relevant to any recording or audio processing environment."
In addition to world-class room correction, ERGO also acts as a speaker switcher and master volume control and creates a seamless full range monitors-plus-sub system with subwoofer integration. ERGO is also a 4-in, 6-out Firewire audio interface that easily interfaces with PC and MAC hardware and audio software, ERGO provides high-quality audio through its use of 120dB SNR digital-to-analog converters and phase-accurate signal processing. KRK further incorporates Firewire and S/PDIF input for digital connections to DAWs such as Pro Tools and other systems. A high quality analog volume control and headphone output are also provided in the system.
"Getting audio to sound great in different environments is the true measure of a user's craft and monitoring system, "contends Tony Rodrigues "Adding ERGO to a mixing environment is one of the best ways to ensure mixes translate to different surroundings while getting the most out of recording monitors". "
With an MSRP of $799, ERGO, due out in April, will be a cost-effective and valuable tool in any recording artist, enthusiast, or professional sound engineers' audio arsenal.
