Magglio Ordonez's incredibly, monstrously awful start
May 4, 2011, 6:30 PM EDT
Here's a list of all the current major league regulars with the fewest runs batted in per plate appearance this year:
Magglio Ordonez (2 RBI in 83 PA)
Kosuke Fukudome (2 RBI in 82 PA)
Jamey Carroll (3 RBI in 117 PA)
Jason Bartlett (4 RBI in 110 PA)
Michael Cuddyer (4 RBI in 105 PA)
Austin Jackson (5 RBI in 131 PA)
And a similar list using runs scored, rather than RBI.
Magglio Ordonez (2 runs in 83 PA)
Mark Ellis (4 runs in 112 PA)
James Loney (5 runs in 120 PA)
Brad Hawpe (4 runs in 84 PA)
Jorge Cantu (4 runs in 82 PA)
And Ordonez has been that impotent despite hitting third in a very respectable lineup. Brendan Ryan is batting ninth for the Mariners and hitting .177 this season, yet he's still managed six runs scored and seven RBI in 94 plate appearances. Ordonez is averaging a run scored and an RBI every 10 games!
I'm not saying Ordonez is done, and I'm not saying that his poor run and RBI numbers mean much of anything going forward.
I'm just saying he's been really, really, really lousy so far.

Evidence continues to mount underscoring the superiority of HIIT exercise protocols in improving health in a variety of ways. Dr. Jonathan Little at the University of British Columbia has recently shown that HIIT is more effective at lowering high blood sugar for type II diabetics than continuous duration aerobic routines. Dr. Little has shown that 75 minutes of HIIT per week is more effective than 150 minutes weekly of the moderate intensity continuous duration exercise recommended by the American Diabetes Association. Happily, not many of us here need to be concerned with exercising to combat diabetes. But the encouraging implication of Dr. Little's research may be of interest. Presumably if HIIT lowers blood sugar for full-fledged type II diabetics, it is also superior in lowering blood sugar and combatting metabolic syndrome in non-diabetics. HIIT works.

Bowles, SimpsonIt's been a full day since the two co-chairs of President Obama's bipartisan commission to reduce the national debt released their plan--and early returns indicate that it may rank with "Waterworld" in the annals of unpopular debuts.
First, though, let's be clear on what the proposal -- authored by Erskine Bowles, who served as chief of staff to President Clinton, and former Republican Sen. Alan Simpson -- is and is not. The debt commission, which President Obama established by executive order in February, is charged with establishing a framework to curb government spending and bring the federal budget deficit--now some $1.3 trillion, by the estimate of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office--back into some sort of long-term balance.
The Bowles-Simpson plan, which would save nearly $4 trillion, calls for deep cuts in domestic and military spending, a higher federal gas tax, the elimination of some tax breaks (and a reduction of tax rates on high-earners) and cuts to Social Security.
[Related: China slams America's latest financial move]
But this proposal represents only a basis for negotiation among the commission's 18 members. Only if a final plan gains the support of 14 of those 18 -- something many observers see as unlikely -- will it be submitted to Congress for a vote in December. So we're a long way from any final decisions.Read More »from Debt panel chairmen's proposal pleases just about no one

The production of the first of the two huge ferries ordered by P& O Ferries started on the 3rd of March 2009 by cutting its first steel plate on STX Europe's yard in Rauma, Finland.
The roro-passenger ferries to carry freight and cars are scheduled for delivery in 2010 and 2011 for entering into Dover-Calais service. Becoming the largest ferry in the English Channel means a 49,000 GT vessel with the length of 689 ft and having 2,700 lane metres of vehicle space. There will be space for more than 180 freight vehicles and additionally for up to 195 tourist vehicles. The vessel will be capable of carrying up to 1,750 passengers.
The vessels will be the first passenger ferries in the world to comply with the new International Maritime Organization "Safe Return to Port" requirements ahead of the international compliance date. These rules require that, in the event of a ship becoming a casualty, basic services are provided to all persons on board and that certain systems remain operational for safe return to port. Performance standards are stipulated for a wide range of ship systems including fire-fighting, power supply, propulsion, steering and navigation. The requirements come into force for vessels built after 1 July 2010.
The ships will have the Lloyd's Register class notation of PSMR (Propulsion and Steering Machinery Redundancy) which will be assigned where the main propulsion and steering systems are configured to ensure that, in the event of equipment failure, the ship retains availability of propulsion power and maneuvering capability to provide a safe return to port.
The ferries will also be as environmentally friendly as possible, offering significant advances in fuel efficiency through a hydro-dynamically efficient hull form that will optimize vessel performance with minimum fuel consumption.

"DODSWORTH" (1936) Review
I might as well place my cards on the table. William Wyler has been one of my favorite Old Hollywood directors for as long as I can remember. One particular movie that had impressed me as a teenager and a woman in my 20s was his 1936 film, "DODSWORTH". However, a good number of years had passed since I last saw it. Realizing this, I decided to view the movie again for a new assessment. ( Read more...Collapse )

Accredited psychologists use scientific knowledge of human behaviour to treat individuals who are experiencing mental disorders, relationship problems, learning difficulties, addiction and eating disorders. They may help patients to cope with short-term issues, manage chronic illness and overcome barriers to success. Many psychologists work as researchers to provide greater understanding about how people think, feel and react to situations, and to develop new strategies to improve psychological functioning. They may focus their research or practice on a specific area of psychology such as cognition, neuroscience, or social and developmental behaviour.

Francois Pignon is the most boring employee at the condom factory, a meek accountant who seems so unnecessary that he's told he'll be fired after 20 years of loyal service. That figures. His wife divorced him two years earlier, his son despises him as a nobody, and at work they snicker about what a nerd he is.
Pignon returns to his depressing bachelor apartment, finds a kitten on the balcony, gives it a saucer of milk and hears a knock at the door. It is his new neighbor, an older man who is looking for the kitten--and sees immediately that Francois is miserable. "Give me a drink," he says. "I'm lonelier than you are." Pignon is played by Daniel Auteuil, the sad-eyed, crooked-nose star of some of the best French films of recent years ("The Widow Of St. Pierre," "Girl on the Bridge"). His neighbor is Belone (Michel Aumont), large, expansive, sympathetic. Soon Francois is pouring out his story. Belone listens and comes up with a way for Francois to keep his job: He must pretend to be gay. That way, the condom company will be terrified of bad publicity if it fires him.
"The Closet" is a new French comedy that turns the tables on "La Cage aux Folles." That was about a gay man trying to appear straight; this is about a straight, conservative, timid man who is transformed in the eyes of the world when he seems to be gay. Belone, who is gay himself, uses his computer to fabricate photographs that seem to show Pignon being very friendly with a leather-clad gay man and mails it to co-workers at the factory. The news spreads instantly, and Pignon's office mates now interpret his inhibited behavior as just a cover-up.
The movie is a box office hit in France, not least because it has four top actors in unusual roles. Gerard Depardieu, the most macho of French actors, plays Santini, a homophobe who stops gay-bashing and tries to befriend Pignon. Jean Rochefort is the magisterial boss of the company. And Thierry Lhermitte is the troublemaker who inflames Depardieu's fears by telling him he'll be fired for his political incorrectness. To understand this casting in Hollywood terms, think of Auteuil, Depardieu, Rochefort and Lhermitte as Tom Hanks, Brendan Fraser, Michael Douglas and Kevin Pollak. (Given the success of the Hollywood remake of "La Cage Aux Folles," we may actually be seeing casting like this before long.) At least two of Pignon's co-workers are intrigued by the revelations about his sexuality. Mlle. Bertrand (Michele Laroque), his superior, found him boring when he was straight but sexy now that he's gay and wants to seduce him. And the rugby-playing Santini, who picked on Pignon when he thought he was a sissy, tries to save his own job by taking the accountant out to lunch and being nice to him--suspiciously nice, some might think.
The movie passes the time pleasantly and has a few good laughs (the loudest is when Pignon rides in a gay pride parade wearing a crown that looks like a jolly giant condom). But the screenplay relies too much on the first level of its premise and doesn't push into unexpected places. Once we get the setup, we can more or less anticipate the sitcom payoff, and there aren't the kinds of surprises, reversals and explosions of slapstick that made "La Cage Aux Folles" so funny. In the rating system of the Michelin guide, it's worth a look, but not a detour or a journey.

Why do we pay so much for cellphones?
Canadians pay some of the highest cellphone rates in the world. Here's why.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Like many Canadians, Mike Hills is reluctant to open his cellphone bill each month because he doesn't know what to expect.
"I now travel a lot for work, but I didn't when I committed to a plan awhile back," explains Hills, a Toronto-based sales rep for a software company. "Because I'm locked in, I sometimes pay up to $400 each month to use my phone, which is ridiculous."
Hills feels "handcuffed" by his provider because he's told, when he calls to inquire about his high phone bills, that there's nothing they can do to reduce his fees.
No wonder Canadians are registering more complaints about cellphone contracts and billing, according to Canada's Commissioner for Complaints for Telecommunications Services (CCTS). Roughly 52 per cent of them were related to wireless service in July 2010, up from 38 per cent from August of 2009.
A recent report published by Toronto-based UTR Global, a telecom expense and asset management software and services company, confirms Canadians are paying the highest cellphone rates in the world. This finding mirrors another report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
The UTR Global report, released on Nov. 1, claims Canada is the most expensive out of 11 countries when both prepaid and postpaid plans were compared. Citing findings from the New America Foundation's Open Technology Initiative, the minimum monthly postpaid service in Canada — for voice, text and data — was $67.50 (all prices in U.S. currency), compared to, say, $34.05 in Sweden or $12.90 in India, for the same level of service. The U.S. ranked second highest at $59.99.
Canadians often commit to a three-year contract to get the best price on a smartphone, compared to a two-year term south of the border.
UTR Global also says consumers and businesses are unknowingly overpaying millions of dollars every month for "inaccuracies" on their cellphone (and landline) services.
Carmi Levy, an independent technology analyst based in London, Ont., says Canadians have long been "victims of geography and population."
"Canada has a larger land mass than the U.S., so carriers north of the border must spend roughly the same amount of money — billions of dollars, in most cases — to build out their wireless networks," says Levy. "Unfortunately, there are approximately 10 Americans to every Canadian, so carriers here spend the roughly the same as their American counterparts, but have far fewer consumers to make up that investment."
"The unfavourable market-size-versus-coverage equation, coupled with fairly rigid government-imposed rules that dictate who can provide service, where, and under what terms, has also been responsible for the relative lack of competition in this market," adds Levy.
He says this is starting to change. In the last year, Industry Canada's wireless spectrum auction has resulted in the arrival of a number of new providers, including Wind Mobile, Mobilicity, Public Mobile and, in Quebec, Videotron. "These new entrants have begun to pressure the incumbent carriers on the low end of the market, and prices are slowly beginning to ease as the competition heats up," says Levy.
"This process, which is never as fast as Canadians would like, will continue for at least the next three years; that's when the grace period that prevents larger carriers from snapping up smaller ones expires."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Major flood at border forecast
A lot of snow, slow melt blamed
A major flood on the Red River at the Canada-U.S. border is all but certain this spring, based on the latest number-crunching by U.S. flood forecasters.
The U.S. National Weather Service's advanced hydrologic prediction service said Thursday there is a 95 per cent chance of major flooding at Pembina, N.D., at some point during the next two months. The prediction is based on conditions observed Monday.
"We're looking at a 2011-type flood," said Mike Lukes, a National Weather Service hydrologist based in Grand Forks. Although overshadowed by the Assiniboine River flood of 2011, the Red River flood during the same spring resulted in ring-dike closures at 15 Manitoba communities in the Red River Valley, the closure of Highway 75 south of Morris and the second-highest flood crest in Winnipeg since the Flood of the Century in 1997.
A flood of similar magnitude is probable this year despite dry weather in 2012. Heavy rains last fall saturated the top level of the soil, which froze solid early in the winter, Lukes said. The heavy snowpack on top of this crust and the delayed thaw have combined to increase the flood threat. The snowmelt, usually underway by now, has yet to commence.
"There's a topsoil layer of wet, frozen ground. In order for the meltwater to penetrate that, it has to be melted or thawed," Lukes said. "The delayed thaw puts us into the territory where rapid melts could happen, with the possibility of rain on top of that."
Manitoba flood forecasters issued similar opinions earlier this week. They are now incorporating the U.S. data into Manitoba's next flood outlook, due next week, a provincial spokesman said.
The National Weather Service also predicted a 50 per cent chance of major flooding at Grand Forks and a 98 per cent chance of major flooding at Fargo, where 750,000 sandbags have already been filled in preparation for a record Red River crest.
But what happens at Pembina is far more relevant for the Manitoba flood outlook. That's partly because the Red has a much smaller capacity at Fargo, but it's mainly because Pembina sits right at the 49th parallel, downstream from two of the Red's largest tributaries -- the Red Lake River, which enters the Red at Grand Forks, and the Pembina River, which drains a portion of south-central Manitoba before flowing into the Red in North Dakota.
In Manitoba, ring-dike closures and a Highway 75 closure are possible again this year, provincial officials said. A 2011-scale Red River flood would also trigger precautionary sandbagging of low-lying Winnipeg properties, although the city, like the province, is only data-crunching at this point.
What is clear is Manitoba's stretch of the Red River Valley is heading into its third major flood in five springs. Although climate-change models predict more extreme weather for mid-continental areas such as the Canadian Prairies, hydrologists say it's too soon to attribute the recent string of very large floods to human-induced changes to long-term precipitation and temperature patterns.
"Floods do come in bunches. This still could be a random grouping," said University of Winnipeg geography Prof. Bill Rannie. "Whether this is a cluster in an otherwise trendless situation or (the result of climate change), I don't know. If I knew and had some way of proving it, I would be writing about it."
Southern Manitoba has a highly variable climate in terms of temperature and precipitation. A prolonged period of cool, sunny weather could vastly reduce the severity of the Red River flood this spring. A massive blizzard in April could put the Red River Valley in a position similar to that of 1997, but that prospect is remote.
It's not clear yet what will happen this spring along the Assiniboine River, although some flooding is expected. The province has raised the possibility of protecting First Street and 18th Street in Brandon with a row of super-sandbags, a provincial spokesman said.

Pompey offer deal to core players
Thursday 20 May 2010
Portsmouth confirmed yesterday that new contracts have been offered to the England goalkeeper David James, defenders Hermann Hreidarsson and Ricardo Rocha and the veteran forward Kanu.
The Fratton Park club, £138m in debt, are preparing for life in the Championship and hope to come out of administration, which led to them being docked nine points by the Premier League, for the start of next season.
The administrator Andrew Andronikou revealed that the club hoped to retain some of their first-team squad to give Pompey a "firm base" on which to build.
While it remains to be seen whether their manager, Avram Grant, who is a target for West Ham, will be in charge next season, the club stated: "It's hoped the popular quartet will bring a wealth of experience and strength to the Blues' side as they seek to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking."

FSU efforts fail to keep Digital Domain film school in West Palm Beach
- Staff South Florida Business Journal
Florida State University's efforts have failed to keep its film and animation school in West Palm Beach, The Palm Beach Post reports.
The school, the Digital Domain Institute in the university's College of Motion Picture Arts, was a partnership between FSU and St. Lucie-based Digital Domain Media Group, which filed for bankruptcy in September. The school had 24 students.
The Florida Board of Governors voted Thursday to close the West Palm Beach school and is giving FSU until May 1 to submit plans to relocate the program to Tallahassee, according to the Post.
The city of West Palm Beach had given land, which has an estimated worth of $10 million, for the now failed animation school.

Transformed Traveler welcomes Pauline Frommer
in Lifestyle
The Transformed Traveler discusses sensory travel with the incomparable Pauline Frommer.
The Frommer family has made a lasting mark on how we travel. From generation to generation, their family's focus on our enjoyment as travelers has literally changed the landscape of the $15 trillion travel industry.
In 1957, Arthur Frommer, a young corporal in the U.S. Army, wrote a travel guide for American GIs in Europe, and then produced a civilian version called Europe on $5 a Day.[3] The book ranked popular landmarks and sights in order of importance and included suggestions on how to travel around Europe on a budget. It was the first travel guide to show Americans that they could afford to travel in Europe. Arthur Frommer returned to the United States and began practicing law. During that time, he continued to write and also began to self-publish guidebooks to additional destinations, including New York, Mexico, Hawaii, Japan and the Caribbean. Call into 646-727-2255 and talk live with Pauline Frommer.

Simin Behbahani, Iran's most outspoken poet and a Nobel Prize nominee, passed away in Tehran.
Poet Simin Behbahani, a champion of women's rights and free speech whose lyrical verse captured the hopes and disappointments of Iranians since the 1979 revolution, has died on Aug 19 at the age of 87. After nearly two weeks in the Tehran Pars hospital, she died of heart and respiratory complications, according to state news agency IRNA. She was nearly blind towards the end of her life.
Nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1999 and 2002, she earned the unofficial title of the "Lioness of Iran" for what admirers saw as her courage in the face of official censorship. "Until now, I've said what I've had to say, I've always said I'm against death, I'm against killing and I'm against imprisonment," she told the BBC's Persian service in 2012.
She voiced strong opposition to the practice of stoning, a rarely used form of capital punishment. Under Islamic law in force in Iran since the revolution, adultery may be punished by death by stoning, while crimes such as murder, rape, armed robbery, apostasy and drug trafficking are all punishable by hanging.
Behbahani added her voice to those of the demonstrators who rushed into the streets after a disputed presidential election in June 2009 to protest against alleged ballot rigging, by writing the poem Stop Throwing My Country To The Wind, which encapsulated the hopeful and later deflated moods of contemporary Iran after the revolution, using a 1,100-year lyrical form of poetry known as the ghazal.
"It's an amazing index of those yearnings, and aspirations and disappointments following the revolution," Dr Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak, a friend of the poet and director of the Roshan Center for Persian Studies at the University of Maryland, said of her work.
On one occasion in the late 1990s, she was to speak at a poetry session, but security forces took away her microphone, turned off the lights and made noises in order to silence her. "That didn't deter her, she just stood there reading her poetry out loud without a microphone while her supporters protected her," remembered Karimi-Hakkak.
At 82, on March 2010, her passport was confiscated as she tried to board a plane to Paris for a poetry reading. Security forces questioned her and ultimately let her go, but she was unable to attend the conference. Despite the difficulties of living in Iran, she received her inspiration from her homeland and chose not to emigrate.
"She loved Iran and despite the many opportunities she had to go live abroad, she stayed," said Ali Dehbashi, a friend and editor of a compilation of her poems, from Tehran. "She was tied to the land and her biggest fear was that she would die while abroad." – Reuters
