Comparing two of NASCAR's greatest streaks Vote: Who will win at Martinsville? " Play: NASCAR Fantasy Live Editor's note: Kevin Harvick has eight consecutive top-two finishes. The all-time best top-two streak is 11, by Richard Petty. Here's a look at how they compare.
No. 4 dominant again but finishes eighth
Defending series champion extends top-two streak to eight races RELATED: Full race results " Updated series standings FONTANA, Calif. -- Things are going pretty well when people wonder if you are disappointed by a runner-up finish. Such is Kevin Harvick 's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. The reigning Sprint Cup Series champion led 34 laps, contended for the win and ultimately finished second in Sunday's Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway . He didn't hoist the track's cool surfboard trophy and just missed sweeping the three West Coast races by 7-tenths of a second -- Sunday's margin of victory. But Harvick -- who won at Las Vegas and Phoenix -- did extend his streak of finishing first or second to eight consecutive races dating back to last season. The record is 11 set by Richard Petty in 1975. "I'm not disappointed at all," Harvick said Sunday. "I'm just glad to be a part of such a good race there. I'm really happy that all the fans got to come out and see a great finish to a great day. "I'm just really proud of everybody on our Jimmy John's/Budweiser team. You could have flipped a coin as to what the right strategy there was at the end with tires. Just proud of Rodney Childers (crew chief) and the pit crew and everybody for just having a solid day." Another solid day. Harvick trailed his Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Kurt Busch by less than a second in the closing laps, when a caution came out for track debris on the final lap. Harvick got two tires on his No. 4 Chevrolet and race winner Brad Keselowski got four during the ensuing caution. Another yellow flag a lap later forced a second green-white-checkered restart and Keselowski was able to get around both Harvick and his SHR teammate Kurt Busch , leading only the last lap for the win. "Well Rodney (Childers, crew chief) he has a lot of information up there and there were so many cars on the lead lap that you just didn't want to get buried in there," Harvick said of the decision to get two tires. "If you get buried in the middle of the field and you don't get a good restart, you are just going to have a tough time making up ground. We won the championship because of a pit call and didn't win a race today. "I don't think it was because of a pit call, just dumb luck and how many times we had to restart. All-in-all just really proud of everybody." "You just never know how the strategy is going to work out," Harvick said. "You are kind of on both sides of the fence there as to what you should or shouldn't do. If the second restart doesn't come about then two tires is the right call. But you just never know." The effort extended Harvick's championship lead to 28 points over Team Penske 's Joey Logano headed into next weekend's STP 500 (Sunday, March 29, 1 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1) at NASCAR's smallest track, the 0.526-mile Martinsville Speedway .

No. 4 driver also explains why they can't just put his setup in teammates' cars Play: NASCAR Fantasy Live CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Defending NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick says his team will approach today's team test at Charlotte Motor Speedway with caution, and avoid trying to read too much into the details as teams prepare for the series' stops here in late May. In Harvick's view, today's test, which is scheduled to run from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on the 1.5-mile track, "is just a big-ticket item" for his Stewart-Haas Racing No. 4 team. "You've got to really be careful as far as what you think you're learning, for Charlotte in particular," Harvick said Tuesday during an appearance at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. "By the time we go back ... so many things are going to change and evolve. "You cannot be scared to do something different than what you did there last time just for the fact that this sport evolves on a weekly basis," he said. Teams pay close attention to what others are doing, and none are more closely watched than those that are successful. And few have been as successful as Harvick and his team. Fresh off a victory last weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway , Harvick's riding a six-race run dating back to the close of the '14 season that's seen him post three victories while posting three runnerup finishes. That's an average finishing position of 1.5. Eye-popping stuff. Envious stuff. Folks notice. "The next thing you know," he said, "everybody's doing what you're doing and if you aren't forward thinking, you're going to get left behind pretty fast." Crew chief Rodney Childers will tinker, but as Harvick said, so much will change before teams return here in two months. Try "to hit on something that improves what we're doing and not really worry about characteristics for Charlotte," Harvick said, "because it's going to have more grip, it's going to be faster; all those things will be different ... in May." Goodyear conducted a tire test at CMS on Tuesday, with drivers Martin Truex Jr . ( Furniture Row Racing ), Aric Almirola ( Richard Petty Motorsports ), Kasey Kahne ( Hendrick Motorsports ) and J.J. Yeley ( BK Racing ) participating. Those four teams are expected to return today, and will be joined by Harvick (SHR), Joey Logano ( Team Penske ), Jamie McMurray ( Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates), Ricky Stenhouse Jr . ( Roush Fenway Racing ), Clint Bowyer ( Michael Waltrip Racing ), Denny Hamlin ( Joe Gibbs Racing ), Ryan Blaney ( Wood Brothers Racing ) and Michael McDowell ( Leavine Family Racing ). Although no official announcement has been made, it is expected that this year's Sprint All-Star Race at CMS (Saturday, May 16) will feature the 2016 rules package, which includes even less downforce on the cars than the 2015 package. Harvick says that would be a "great way to understand what needs to be changed; you get to see some real racing environment stuff. "It allows everybody to kind of get their arms around was it good, was it bad, was it better?" he said. Thus far this year, a combination of less downforce and horsepower hasn't slowed the cars down and in some cases they're actually turning faster lap speeds. "As drivers you obviously realize that the corner speeds are way up this year and the only way to get them down is to make a really big change like they're talking about making," Harvick said. "It's taken awhile to get everybody on the same page when you start taking 600, 700, 800 pounds of downforce off the cars, and ... understanding how that's going to affect the teams, the financial commitment, what will they have to change on their cars to get this rules package to where it needs to be?" Less downforce means it's back to the drawing board for tire supplier Goodyear, which ran its Tuesday tests at CMS with the '16 rules package. Several other tests with the setup are scheduled throughout the season. "When you start taking those corner speeds and slowing them down by 15-20 mph, the tires can do a lot of different things than they do right now," Harvick said. "We've been to Atlanta where corner speeds were up 13-14 mph and Vegas they were up 15-18 mph compared to last year. "I know the track (qualifying) record went down at Las Vegas ... that's just a result of the entry speed not being as great as it was and the corner speeds being up; you can just maintain that entry speed all the way through the corner." While Harvick's team has been the class of the SHR organization, owner/driver Tony Stewart has struggled, posting finishes of 42nd, 30th and 33rd this season. He heads to this weekend's stop in Phoenix 34th in points. Because drivers have different preferences for what they want their car to do and how they want it to feel, it's not as simple as putting Harvick 's setup into Stewart's No. 14 entry, he said. "As you look at the packages and the way we all drive, they're drastically different in throttle traces and steering traces and fields," said Harvick . "Whether it's myself or (teammate) Danica (Patrick) or Tony, everybody wants something different in their car. "So much to do with it is style, and a lot of that is just communication between you and your engineers and everybody being on the same page. If we just put my stuff in Tony's car, it would be hard to just say that that's going to fix all the problems. "I think right now everybody is just in an analyzing phase of really trying to understand exactly what direction we need to go to help and that's what we'll continue to do."

Friendly. Professional. Courteous. Every person I came into contact with made experience pleasant as well as pain-free. Will definitely recommend and use again.
Easy to reserve. Easy to find. Easy access to airport and highways. Lots of large, covered parking spots. Great prices. No hassle. Lots of clean shuttles with really nice drivers. And hysterical ladies working at booth when I picked my car up 7 days later. They ended my trip on a high note. I loved them! Would definitely recommend Pre-Flight to anyone!!!
Very good!!!
The experience from parking, ride to airport, back from airport and then driving away from the parking lot was flawless. The only thing I would comment is to let the customer know either verbally or on the paperwork given where to get the shuttle back from the airport. It was a bit confusing as it wasn't marked anywhere.
The website does not offer a lot of choices in Houston area. Sometimes, it's hard to find a space in the peak season.
Pre flight parking is the best prompt friendly people
I used a different company the first time I used a parking facility. The wait for a shuttle when we returned was painful. Another service had to make a phone call for us. The first time I used your company there was shuttle waiting and on our way to the parking lot I saw multiple shuttles coming and going. Every time since, the wait is within minutes. I am very pleased with your service. I might add, very friendly and courteous drivers.
Excellent service! Park my vehicle and was immediately taken to airport to catch flight. Upon my return, shuttle was waiting to take me back to parking lot to retrieve my vehicle. There was no wait time.
Great service both ways.
Excellent service, my wait time for shuttle pick-up at the airport was 1 minute. Thanks!
Person who answered the phone when I returned was a little rude/short with me, but great other than that.
The staff were all great, the shuttles were on time and quick to deliver us and pick us up. Upon our return from our trip, our battery was dead, so Paul helped us to try to boost it without luck. Why only 3 stars? A full tank of gas was siphoned from our vehicle when we were away. The tank was left bone dry - wouldn't register on the gas gauge - after arriving with 7/8's of a tank. So - good service, horrible security.
Would go back if I get the chance. No waiting and van waiting in the parking lot with no long walking needed. Van also waiting at the airport. Made everything smooth and easy. Love it
I was impressed by the service I received from Preflight Airport Parking. There is no waiting time for the shuttle bus; they take you right to the parking lot where your car parked; they offer covered parking space; their staff are very courteous and helpful; and more importantly, their charge is reasonable. I was especially impressed by the driver, Judith. I will definitely recommend Preflight Airport Parking to anyone without reservation, and will use the service for my future travel needs.
Highly recommend them. No issues at all.
We parked there for 7 days and everything was great. I will park there again.
We parked here for 3 days. Everything went smoothly. The overall service is good.
I have parked here for several times. This is time I landed in IAH at 12:30 am. I think I have to wait a while for the shuttle because it is very late. However, after calling the phone service, the shuttle came to pick me up in 5 mins. Recommend!
Absolutely terrific service. The best offsite parking I have used anywhere. Less than 1 minute wait on each end of the trip. Clean shuttles, nice drivers, super efficient and very fairly priced.

Rugs That Bring the Indoors Out
All-weather rugs make any outdoor space feel more like an extension of your home.
By: Angela Black
Outdoor spaces for living, cooking and entertaining are in vogue like never before, attracting attention to outdoor furniture and decor for livable outdoor "rooms." Stylish rugs that beat the elements are popular embellishments to these spaces. Thanks to fiber technology advancements in durability, this new generation of rugs truly "lives" outdoors.
Today's all-weather rugs not only rival their indoor counterparts in looks and texture, but they also create a nonskid surface and maintain floor temperature (i.e., a cool surface in summer or warm surface during winter). Like indoor rugs, they can be custom-designed, hand-woven or machine-hooked and come in a variety of colors. Bland beige and boring brown have been replaced with colors like scarlet, rich chocolate, turquoise and more.
However, before you scout the perfect all-weather rug for your patio or deck, here are some tips for selecting a quality outdoor rug that's resilient, attractive and fits your lifestyle.
Fabrication and Durability
Think about how you'll use the rug. Will the rug be a permanent outdoor fixture or will you store the piece indoors during the winter season? Will it dwell under a covered porch, in a sunroom or in an exposed area like a deck or patio?
While traditional rugs made from natural fibers like jute, bamboo and cork can be used outdoors, "they're not good for an outdoor rug that is exposed all of the time," says Chris Davis, president of the World Floor Covering Association.
If a rug will be a permanent outdoor fixture, the entire rug — including the backing and trim — should be 100 percent polypropylene to withstand harsh outdoor weather, resist mold and mildew, and maintain its size and color. Polypropylene, a plastic, is usually manufactured under a brand name like Olefin or DuraCord.
DuraCord, first manufactured in 2003, was developed for The HammockSource, a North Carolina-based company that specializes in outdoor furniture and accessories. Unlike traditional polypropylene, DuraCord has a "cottonlike texture and feel" says Laurie Rudd, HammockSource creative director. DuraCord also has an ultraviolet resistance, which means it can withstand up to 2,000 hours of sunlight. Plus, a moisture regain of 0.01, means the rug dries quickly. Moisture regain refers to the amount of water a rug will absorb: the lower the number the less water a rug retains. Most polypropylene products have a 0.05 moisture regain.
One of the best things about polypropylene rugs is they maintain their size and shape, even after a cleaning using mild detergent, a scrub brush and a water hose. DuraCord products can also be cleaned with a diluted bleach wash.
Another durability factor to consider with outdoor rugs is color fading. Mohawk Industries, a Georgia-based company and one of the largest rug manufacturers in the world, processes their rugs to retain color. "The rugs are solution dried and (the fibers) are extruded with color pigment. That means the color is part of the fiber, not separate, so it's colorfast," explains Pat Douglass, general manager of tufted rugs at Mohawk Homes, a division of Mohawk Industries. A quality rug will not stain or fade.
Style and Budget
Do you prefer contemporary or traditional motifs? Outdoor rug manufacturers offer a wide variety of styles and prices and each adds new designs yearly. Outdoor rugs are also available at most major home retail and online stores and floor cover retailers. Here are a few companies worth looking at:
- The HammockSource (www.thehammocksource.com) offers mostly contemporary styles and custom designs that are "true works of art," Laurie says.
- North Carolina-based Capel Rugs (www.capelrugs.com) has more than 90 designs with a wide range of motifs including Persian and Native American designs.
- Mohawk Industries (www.mohawk-flooring.com) also has a wide variety of designs from traditional patterns in earth tones to bright geometric shapes in contemporary designs.

The basic method of meta-analysis is to combine data from different studies by assigning weights to those studies by sample size and by information (effect estimates and estimates of error). The result is a common odds ratio and confidence interval that sums all studies, rather than a crude average, or a vote count (e.g. Six studies were positive, three studies were negative). Consequently, meta-analysis has the potential to provide summarizing clarity to a confusing literature (1). Sometimes meta-analysis identifies a finding that was not statistically recognizable in the individual studies, usually because of small sample size (type II error). Other times, as in the paper by Tondo et al. in this issue (2), meta-analysis refutes a common clinical belief (in this case, the belief that anticonvulsants are more effective than lithium for rapid-cycling bipolar disorder, RCBD). In fact, this meta-analysis suggests that RCBD is a globally treatment-refractory condition, in which treatment response (to whatever mood stabilizer) is worse than in non-rapid-cycling bipolar disorder.
Unfortunately, meta-analysis seems a bit esoteric. In fact, it is simply a quantitative analogue to what clinicians and researchers do when evaluating the scientific literature. In light of their experience and of the published evidence they come to believe that a treatment is more or less effective. Instead of personal judgment alone or a merely narrative review of what has been published, a systematic review attempts to assess, in a way that others can reproduce, all the available evidence: a meta-analysis simply adds a numerical dimension where appropriate, without devaluing the narrative approach. Meta-analytical summaries do not constitute meta-physical truths, but instead seek to present the most objective way of reviewing the evidence. Previous articles in this journal are good examples of the benefits of this techinique (3, 4).
Yet meta-analysis has its critics, primarily because of the risk of three biases: the 'garbage in, garbage out' problem, where poorly performed individual studies are seen as not worthy of assessment in systematic reviews; concerns about heterogeneity, where studies with different methods are seen as too different to allow for quantitative summing; and publication bias (the file drawer problem), where negative studies are less likely to be published (5). It is often argued that, because of these biases, meta-analysis of treatment studies should be limited to randomized clinical trials (RCTs), as in the Cochrane Collaboration. Despite the fact that RCTs represent the most reliable way to establish a cause–effect relationship, we believe that this perspective represents a reification of the concept of randomization.
The problem of rapid-cycling bipolar disorder (RCBD) is exactly the type of question where the need to apply meta-analysis, carefully and cautiously, to observational data is demonstrated. There are basically no randomized data to meta-analyze, and, further, it is likely that there never will be, because of the expense and difficulty of studying this population. Yet, there are many clinical misconceptions, which meta-analysis clears up by correcting two methodological errors. First, there is the 'apples and oranges' error, where one compares results from different studies, based on different samples, instead of only making comparisons within samples. In this meta-analysis, the reader is guided to the four comparative studies in which lithium and anticonvulsants were compared in the same population, and no differences exist. Secondly, there is a lack of recognition of the concept of levels of evidence. As discussed in the evidence-based medicine (EBM) literature, this concept allows one to weigh the evidence, putting more weight on more rigorous, larger, better designed studies. This central classification, primarily based on the epidemiological concept of validity and secondarily on power (sample size), constitutes an indispensable framework to understand the quality of the inferences we draw.
In Table 1, we offer our version of the five levels of evidence, derived from the work of leaders in the EBM movement (6), as adapted by us for the state of the psychiatric literature. The data suggesting benefit with anticonvulsants involve level III non-randomized evidence, and thus carry less weight than the level I randomized data suggesting inefficacy of lithium in rapid-cycling bipolar disorder, precluding definitive judgments of superiority of one agent over another.
|Level I: Double-blind randomized trials
|Ia: Placebo-controlled monotherapy
|Ib: Non-placebo-controlled comparison trials, or placebo-controlled add-on therapy trials
|Level II: Open randomized trials
|Level III: Observational studies
|IIIa: Nonrandomized, controlled studies
|IIIb: Large non-randomized, uncontrolled studies (n > 100)
|IIIc: Medium-sized non-randomized, uncontrolled studies (100 > n > 50)
|Level IV: Small observational studies (non-randomized, uncontrolled) (50 > n > 10)
|Level V: Case series (n < 10), case report (n = 1), expert opinion
Nonetheless, skepticism about meta-analysis of observational studies persists. For instance, we observed a reviewer seriously argue that observational studies should simply be ignored, and that if not enough was known about an issue, patients should be offered randomization where available, or not treated at all. One imagines this academician quite literally flipping a coin at the bedside to decide on a treatment for a particular patient. This kind of extremism, a misinterpretation of EBM, vulgarizes the concept of levels of evidence. It is as if level I was the only important level, and all the rest were equally useless. In fact, the differentiation between levels II to V is meant to indicate that they differ from each other, and that, for instance, large level III non-randomized datasets are much more meaningful than a clinical anecdote from level V. Statistical techniques, like multivariate regression, allow for fine tuning of non-randomized datasets to reduce some (though not all) confounders, thus strengthening the validity of non-randomized data. Indeed there is some evidence that high-quality observational studies may produce results that are similar in magnitude and direction to randomized studies (6). Given the expense and difficulty of conducting randomized studies, especially in psychiatry, where patients and the public are often wary of research studies, it makes sense to make as much use of observational data as possible.
There also are certain philosophical assumptions that underlie this controversy. Those who think that only RCTs provide useful information take a 'frequentist' approach, believing that a single study should be considered in isolation based on its own methods, and further, that a single study can provide either definite confirmation or refutation of an hypothesis. The alternative approach, loosely labeled 'Bayesian' (though there are many varieties of it) holds that no single study is definitive and that all studies serve as modifiers of previous viewpoints (''prior probability'') leading to newer viewpoints (''posterior probability'') (8). Meta-analysis can be thought of as, loosely speaking, a quantitative way to put all studies on a topic into context and then to draw conclusions, much as in the Bayesian conceptual framework of statistics. We think that most clinicians function as intuitive Bayesians (9). They have certain opinions based on their own clinical experiences and their understanding of the scientific literature, and they use new studies to alter those opinions. Meta-analysis is consistent with the practice of clinical medicine in this sense, whereas the frequentist insistence on the ideal perfect randomized study is far from clinical reality. Perhaps it is this division that leads to the wariness of many clinicians regarding EBM (10). This need not be the case, if proponents of EBM avoided reifying randomization, and if clinicians were more aware of the concept of levels of evidence.
We can be scientific physicians, and still humanistic, in the tradition of great clinician/scientists like William Osler. Where feasible, randomized studies will remain the gold standard. But we should not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Hy guys, I started to study cake php framework (version 2.0) and when i finished to read the blog tutorial i tried to do some experiments in particular my problem is "Is it possible to create a query in the model then execute it in the controller and in the end display the result of the query in a view in this way?
this is the file post.php(the model):
class Post extends AppModel {
public $name='Post';
this is posts_controller(the controller):
class PostsController extends AppController {
public $helpers = array ('Html','Form');
public $name = 'Posts';
public $name = 'Articles';
function index() {
//$this->set('posts', $this->Post->find('all'));
$sql="select * from posts";
The Question is if I declare for the second time $name I obtain an error from cake, in this case, Which is the correct name to set a variable that contain a posts arrays (the databse is the same of the blog tutorial) and the second question is How can I display the data obtained from the query in the index.ctp?? in the example I iterate in this way
<?php foreach ($posts as $post): ?>
and to obtain an element I have to write
<?php echo $post['Post']['title']?>
but in my case?
And Is it possible to declare a function tha returns a result of a query in a model, then call it in a controller and display the data in a someview.ctp?

stinging nettles
Is it possibly to deny or confirm that stinging nettles is good for compost anyone? I have read somewhere that it can be utilized effectively in compost tea. If that is correct, would it be equally nutrient rich in solid compost? I am mostly concerned that it will propagate the stinging nettles when I go to use the compost as I get a strong allergic reaction to it and it does send runners which appear to be evasive.
Is this or any other plant possible to identify as a compost accelerant?
I think any fresh, green, leafy plant will help the decomposition process. The way to improve decomposition is the *correct* amounts of greens and browns. I've used blood meal to speed things up but it made the mix too heavy in nitrogen and it became smelly, I had to add more browns. Obviously I used too much.
Nettles have attained a reputation over centuries for making good compost because they were a common herbal used for healing. So people grew them, drank the tea, and also made tea for their gardens and composted them. I'm sure they contain many valuable properties.
If you are concerned with sprouting you could make nettle tea first and use the spent plant material in the compost and the tea as a foliar spray or soil drench.

Karabell: How is Lofton still a free agent?
While Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens continue to make news for off-field transgressions, it's becoming more and more obvious they won't be performing on a baseball field near you anytime soon. I get that. The problem with them is they don't merely bring considerable skills to the table, but distraction as well.
You would be surprised at how many teams could use someone like this. For the record, the major league average for on-base percentage by leadoff hitters in 2007 was .345, a bit higher than that in the AL, a tad lower in the NL. No team finished the season with a sub-.300 OBP from its leadoff men, with Washington and Houston bringing up the rear at .308 and .309, respectively. That's bad, folks. It's so bad that the middle-of-the-order hitters on those teams who didn't accrue the RBIs you might have expected, like Ryan Zimmerman and Lance Berkman for starters, should get some sort of pass.
This season there are seven teams currently floundering with a leadoff on-base percentage on the wrong side of .308, and these teams could use some help. Give Kenny a call! As not just a fantasy baseball owner, but a baseball fan and a simulation league player, I can tell you it's a lot harder to score runs when the leadoff men aren't on base. A great example of how this affects fantasy baseball is what Derrek Lee did for the Cubs in 2005. Lee hit 46 home runs that season, added 50 doubles, slugged a monstrous .662 and finished merely third in the MVP voting behind Albert Pujols and Andruw Jones (51 homers) because he knocked in a "paltry" 107 runs. Andruw Jones beat him out? It was the RBI total, I'm convinced. Lee should have had about 150, but Cubs leadoff men had an embarrassing .299 on-base percentage, thanks to Dusty Baker forcing Corey Patterson, Jerry Hairston Jr. and Neifi Perez into the top spot in the lineup. Hmm, aren't a few of those guys in Baker's current lineup? Meanwhile, I owned Lee the following season on a simulation team, gave him numerous on-base specialists at the top of the order, and he set that league's record with 201 RBIs! What a season!
That wouldn't have happened in the majors, of course, but certainly one reason the mercurial Josh Hamilton is on pace for 169 RBIs in 161 games is because the Rangers are putting men on base. Their leadoff hitters are fifth with a .372 OBP, and the No. 2 hitters are eighth. Meanwhile, Matt Holliday of the Rockies is on pace for just 91 RBIs. Blame Willy Taveras (.304 OBP), and his manager Clint Hurdle for sticking with him in the leadoff spot.
Not every team lacking a good leadoff hitter is a perfect fit for someone like Lofton, but here are the seven teams in baseball with an embarrassingly low on-base percentage (below .308) from that spot. You tell me it doesn't make sense to sign Lofton.
Oakland Athletics: As a team, the A's are actually No. 10 in team OBP, thanks to the Jacks and the Sweeneys. That would be Jack Cust (.434) and Jack Hannahan (.400), as well as Mike Sweeney (.378) and Ryan Sweeney (.343). After that, it's not so pretty. Catcher Kurt Suzuki has more than half the team's plate appearances in the leadoff spot, but let me tell you, it's not working out. His batting average there is .200, his OBP is .265. Travis Buck has posted even worse numbers there. Club leadoff hitters have a .198 batting average and .254 OBP. Look, you signed Frank Thomas to a deal, so you're obviously trying to contend, and you have the pitching to do so. But something must be done about the top of the order. Lofton had a .367 on-base percentage in 2007, and .376 when he was the leadoff hitter, and you have a hole in center field and leadoff. Some catchers have the speed and on-base ability to lead off, but Suzuki isn't one of them.
Minnesota Twins: I thought Gomez was better than Bourn back in March, and I still think so. Gomez isn't drawing walks, either; he's currently on pace for 23 walks and 181 strikeouts. Wow. However, when I watch him play, I see a super-raw 22-year-old, and when I watch Bourn I see a formed Dave Roberts. Gomez is going to get a lot better. He's going to develop power and, like an Alfonso Soriano type, eventually draw some walks. The Twins have nobody getting on base other than Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau. Really, Mauer should be leading off since his slugging percentage is about the same as his on-base percentage, and he has fewer home runs than Brad Ausmus, but the Twins have nobody else to hit second. Why not add Lofton where struggling Jason Kubel and Craig Monroe are eating at-bats?
Chicago Cubs: This one isn't so easy to solve because Lou Piniella wants Alfonso Soriano to be happy, and Soriano says he's happy only when he's leading off. Center field remains a problem for this team, as Felix Pie just can't hit and Reed Johnson is more of a fourth outfielder than a starter. Jim Edmonds isn't the answer, unless you're looking for a broken-down guy to hit a few home runs. Lofton would clearly be this team's best leadoff and center-field option. Back in March, the division-rival Reds, who had and still have the same problem, contacted Lofton, but the two sides couldn't agree to terms. The Cubs have money to spend, and I'm surprised they'd rather have Edmonds fanning in the seventh spot of the lineup than Lofton getting on base near the top. Overall, the Cubs' leadoff hitters are hitting .225, with a .282 OBP.
Kansas City Royals: The Royals and Tigers aren't in dire straits for Lofton because they have center fielders they like. But those guys aren't off to great starts, and they do have room for Lofton in the outfield or at DH. Kansas City didn't get production when Joey Gathright was leading off (.262 OBP over 80 at-bats), but David DeJesus has been better (.354 OBP). The problem for fantasy owners is that DeJesus has no power and not much base-stealing speed, and on most teams he wouldn't be a starter. But the Royals aren't contending and don't need a 40-something outfielder. All the other teams listed here are either contending or think they should be. As long as DeJesus plays the way he is now, and stays healthy, the Royals will generate more RBI chances for the middle of the order. Whether the punchless Jose Guillen, Mark Teahen and Billy Butler can take advantage is another story.
Detroit Tigers: The Tigers are No. 24 in on-base percentage from their leadoff spot, but like the team just ahead of them (Philly), now that the leadoff hitter is back off the DL, this problem should get better. Then again, neither Curtis Granderson nor Jimmy Rollins is a high on-base guy. They are exciting, though. Regardless, the Tigers are currently using a Matt Joyce-Marcus Thames platoon of sorts, and Lofton gets on base better than those guys. Also, I have doubts as to how long Gary Sheffield is going to last before he's sent to the DL. The Tigers will be fine at the top of their lineup. What they really need is Barry Bonds. Ready for the circus?
Kenny Lofton is owned in about half of my leagues, as owners figure this guy should find work at some point. It might not be with one of these teams, but rather the Padres or Braves or some other team that thinks it should be contending and has an outfield hole. Either way, don't forget about Lofton, as his skill set would still work at his age. What's really distracting is having your leadoff hitter not get on base.

ABC News' Rick Klein reports: Ralph Nader, the consumer advocate and four-time presidential candidate, has tried his hand at fiction, with a sprawling novel that's based on an intriguing premise: What if the fabulously wealthy tried to save the world?
The book imagines a 2005 meeting of some of the world's richest and most influential people — think Warren Buffett, Ted Turner, Bill Cosby and some super-well-heeled friends — who found their own political party.
Their movement slays the corporate beast Nader has spent the last few decades trying to beat.
"Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!" is fantasy — but with Nader's distinct persona and politics.
"Never in America have there been more super-rich people with relatively enlightened views," Nader tells the AP's Hillel Italie.
Nader will be our guest on ABCNews.com's "Top Line" today, live at noon ET at ABCNews.com, and available on the ABCNews.com site, iTunes, and YouTube any time thereafter. Offer up questions for Nader via Twitter @thenote.

COVERING MElANS FOR JOINTS IN ELECTRIC CABLES.Y
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 701,209, dated May 27, 1902.
Application led March l0, 1902.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES LUKE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Milford, county of New Haven, State of Connecticut,
have invented an Improvement in Covering Means for Joints in Electric Cables, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specication, like characters on the drawings reprero senting like parts.
The cables used in circuits for electric lighting and power are united at intervals, and much difficulty is experienced in protecting the cable where spliced, so that moisture and I5 dampness cannot get to the wires or conductors. The central core of the cable is composed of numerous copper wires surrounded by an insulating medium, and the insulatingr medium is inclosed in a lead pipe, and where 2o the ends of the copper wires are to be joined the insulating medium and the lead covering are cut away.
I have devised means for covering water and moisture tight the jointat the ends of` two lengths of cable.
Figure l shows the ends of two lengths of cable united and covered by the means devised by me; and Fig. 2 is a section in the line Fig. l.
The central core A of the cable, composed of any desired number of separate copper Wires, is incased in an insulating medium AQ supposed to be composed of india-rubber or other insulating compound, and the insulating medium is sheathed or incased, preferably, by lead pipe B. Tozsplice the ends of the wires of the cable the insulating medium and the lead pipe are removed to expose the wires that they may be soldered together to 4o act as a continuous cable.
My novel cover C is composed of a metallic sleeve c', having extended from its ends hollow hubs c2 c3, represented as inclined, the holes in the hubs substantially filling the exterior of the lead pipe. Before uniting the ends of the cable the sleeve having its hubs securely attached, preferably by solder or otherwise, water-tight is slipped over the end of one of the lengths of cable, and the ends of 5o the wire are brought in contact, as shown in Fig. l, inside of a metallic ring (l, and there Serial No. 97.532. (No model.)
after by usual solder or brazing material d is applied to the ring CZ and the wire and the electrical junction of the wires is effected. This done, the sleeve is moved along the cable into the position Fig. l, and if the movement of the sleeve was in the direction ot` the arrow the hub c2 was passed over the end of the lead pipe at the left of the junction ofthe cable. Vhen the sleeve is in proper position and the sheath or covering is of lead pipe, the sleeve is locked iirmly in place by means of locking means e, shown as prongs carried by the hubs, said prongs being struck and their ends inturned, as shown at the left, Fig. l, to enter the pipe more or less, to thus iix the sleeve and hubs with relation to the pipe. After this I may apply solder to the inclined outer ends of the hubs c2 o3, as at f, the solder running down the inclined surfaces at the ends of the hubs and filling the pipe, thus making a water-tight joint between the hubs and the pipe. I mayalso fill the spaces left by inturning the prongs e with solder, as shown at f'. The sleeve is provided with two open holes S et. Any suitable insulating medium may be poured into the holes 3 until the sleeve is iilled, the insulation surrounding the lead pipe and the wire of the cable, the air escaping through the hole 4.. After the sleeve has been lled the holes 3 and 4 maybe closed by solder or otherwise.
The connection shown may be applied to the cable quickly, and it affords complete protection against water or moisture getting to the cable, and, further, it acts to prevent longitudinal movement of one part of the cable with relation to another part that might put strain on the joint made in the ring d.
The hubs c2 c" are reduced externally to enter the ends of the sleeve and about a shoulder G, each hub abutting a shoulder of the sleeve.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. Covering means for spliced joints. of sheathed cables, comprising a sleeve having extended fixed hubs embracing the sheath of each cable at opposite sides of the junction of the ends of the wires of the cables, leaving the ends of the sheaths inside the sleeve that IOO said ends and the Wires of the cables may be inclosed by an insulating medium run into the sleeve.
2. Covering: means for spliced joints of sheathed cables, comprising a sleeve having` extended Xcd hubs embracingr the sheath of each cable at opposite sides of the junction of the ends of the Wires of the cable, leaving the ends of the sheaths inside the sleeve that said ends and the Wires of the cables may bev inclosed by an insulating medium run into 'the sleeve, the ends of said hubs being' inclosed and soldered tc the sheaves of the cables.
8. Covering` means for spliced joints of sheathed cables, comprising a sleeve having extended 'fixed hubs to embrace the sheaths of the cables at opposite sides the junction name to this specification in the presence of 3o two subscribing witnesses.

Then via the motorway to Tarifa. Glimpses of Africa as we drove, and of Gibraltar. The countryside down here is green, a surprise after so much "desert".

Did laundry this morning - I definitely need to look into how to wring out clothes so that they aren't dripping wet when I'm done, which makes them take forever to dry. Luckily these guys should have one and a half warm and sunny days in which to evaporate, but it should take less. Thank goodness for my towel though - it always dries in about two hours ...

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Trending that caught Doug's eye... Top TV moms
Tomorrow is Mother's Day, and I think we all know what that means.
It means it's time to open our hearts and tell our moms exactly how we feel about them.
Are you ready to do that? You are? Ha! The mere fact you think you're ready is proof you couldn't be less ready to pay tribute to that most noble of women.
Hey, it's not like she's done anything important, is it? I mean, all she did is bring you into the world, keep you safe, put those little heart-shaped cookies in your lunch bag, sit up with you all night when you were burning up with fever, and make you feel like the most important, most loved person in the world.
So maybe we could all use a few tips on the proper way to say thanks to our moms. We could do a lot worse than follow the lead of Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant, who on Tuesday was named MVP of the NBA and delivered a speech that was an awe-inspiring mix of humility and raw emotion.
When it came time to thank his mother, a tearful Durant brought down the house when he looked at his mom, Wanda Pratt, and choked out the following words:
"We weren't supposed to be here. You made us believe. You kept us off the street. You put clothes on our backs. You put food on the table. When you didn't eat, you made sure we ate and (you) went to sleep hungry. You sacrificed for us. You're the real MVP!"
Sniff! OK, in honour of all our moms on the eve of their special day, let's take a look back at some superstar mothers, specifically Doug's Top TV Moms of All Time:
5) The mom: Lorelai Gilmore (2000-2007)
The show: Gilmore Girls
The actor: Lauren Graham
Why she's tops: The passion viewers had for this show rivalled the over-the-top loyalty many female consumers have for IKEA. In our house, if you made a noise when this show was on -- for instance, digging around for the last potato chip at the bottom of the bag -- you would be physically thrown out of the den. A constant source of grief for her own overbearing mother, Lorelai was the hip, cool, beautiful, stand-on-your-own-two-feet mom that all teenage girls wish they'd had growing up. The daughter of wealthy parents, Lorelai got pregnant early and went out in the world to raise her daughter, Rory, on her own in the quirky but tranquil community of Stars Hollow. If the show was about anything, it was about this mother-daughter twosome swapping endless pop culture references and nurturing a bond that shielded them from the hardships of the world. Gushed Us Weekly magazine: "Lorelai Gilmore is the ultimate cool mom. The one you can tell anything to -- then raid her closet."
4) The mom: Marge Simpson
The show: The Simpsons (1989-)
The actor: Voiced by Julie Kavner
Why she's tops: Given the number of years this animated icon has been playing on the small screen, some of you younger readers have known Marge and her scratchy voice and big blue beehive for almost as long as your real-life moms. But it's unlikely your mom had to deal with the zany antics of Marge's unruly brood -- Bart, Lisa and Maggie -- as well as her tubby hubby, Homer. Loving, thoughtful and endlessly patient, Marge is the moral touchstone and grounding force of this wildly eccentric family, the sole voice of reason in a cartoon world gone mad. Marge appears on almost every list of the top TV moms of all time. She was rated No. 9 by Ranker.com, No. 6 by the readers of People magazine and, in 2010, a survey selected her as Britain's favourite TV mother, citing her long-suffering patience with Homer's failings. In 2010, Inside TV magazine picked her as the best TV mom, "a modern day June Cleaver." How can you not love a mom who, without a hint of irony, can blurt: "I don't hate you for failing; I love you for trying." Awww, thanks, Marge.
3) The mom: June Cleaver
The show: Leave It to Beaver (1957-1963)
The actor: Barbara Billingsley
Why she's tops: When you think of supermom, you think of soft-spoken June Cleaver, the matriarch of the Cleaver clan -- Ward, Wally "and Jerry Mathers as The Beaver" -- the idealized suburban family of the mid-20th century. When Wally and Beaver came home from school, there was June decked out in pearls and high heels baking cookies or vacuuming the carpet. She was the quintessential stay-at-home '50s mom, always around to gently but firmly guide her cute but troublemaking kids through the minefield of childhood. According to a Harris poll conducted in 2012, June was the ultimate TV mom, the one we all wished we had while growing up. Here's what the Christian Science Monitor had to say: "Yes, June wore pearls around the house. And high heels. But her real trademark was her loving but no-nonsense approach to rambunctious sons Wally and Beaver. She met misbehaviour with a knowing look and even tone, making surrender the only option."
2) The mom: Clair Huxtable
The show: The Cosby Show (1984-1992)
The actor: Phylicia Rashad
Why she's tops: In a TV universe populated by dysfunctional families, Clair Huxtable was one of a kind, one of the classiest and loveliest women to ever grace a sitcom. She raised five kids while juggling the pressures of a career as a New York City attorney and keeping an eye on her goofy husband, Dr. Cliff Huxtable (TV's No. 1 dad, as played by Bill Cosby), he of the wisecracking sense of humour and sweaters so bright and gaudy they could be seen from outer space. Wise and beautiful, with her own unique sense of humour, Clair was TV's iconic strong working mother and caring disciplinarian. In an open letter to the character, Dana Oliver of The Huffington Post gushed: "Clair Huxtable, no other TV mom has lived up to your iconic beauty or brains... As a firm yet fabulous wife, mother of five and attorney, you introduced America to an image of a black woman that shattered racial stereotypes -- long before Michelle Obama moved onto Pennsylvania Avenue."
1) The mom: Carol Brady
The show: The Brady Bunch (1969-1974)
The actor: Florence Henderson
Why she's tops: You all know the lyrics, so let's sing loud and proud: "Here's the story/Of a lovely lady/Who was bringing up three very lovely girls/All of them had hair of gold/Like their mother..." You know the rest: Carol, the mother of Marcia, Jan and Cindy, married Mike, father of Greg, Peter and Bobby, "and that's the way we all became the Brady Bunch, the Brady Bunch!" Despite that earworm of a theme song, which most of us can't get out of our heads, Carol Brady is arguably TV's most memorable mom. She started as a stay-at-home mother but ended up a Renaissance woman -- sculptor, singer, freelance writer, real estate agent and political activist. With her trademark shag hairstyle, permanent smile and sunny disposition, Carol was the iconic mom to an entire generation. Did Barry Williams, who played her eldest stepson, Greg Brady, love her a bit too much off-screen? Florence dismisses that rumour: "Barry did have a serious crush on me... Let us just say that if he had entertained a roll in the hay with me, I would never have done it." Thanks, Carol, we needed to hear that.
In conclusion, with a nod to Kevin Durant, we'd like to end with this heartfelt message to all you moms out there: You're the real MVPs! Now can we have a cookie? Pretty please!

This site was created for my father that owns C&C Rentals in Paris, Tx. I created it using the Foundation framework for the styling along with some of my own styling.
It is a very simple HTML and and css site that has google maps API and an inventory page with descriptions of the different equipment that is available for rent.
My friend, Taylor Charman, loves photography and was interested in having a website. I created it using PHP and MYSQL to make it dynamic. For the styling I used Foundation framework.
She has the ability to upload photos in a blog format, give them a description, and a tag. You can sort by the tags in collections page. The collections page is also paginated so it only loads ten pictures at a time.
A client needed to sell three of her houses and instead of trying to go through a realtor she came to me for a website. This website was created using Fullpage.js for the scrolling fullscreen pages, and Skipper.js for the slideshows.
This a side project of mine that I created using node js, you can create an account, log in, message, post to a public wall and comment on it. I used socket.io for real time updates and notifications, the mongoose npm package for data organization, and mongodb for data storage on a seperate server.
This is an overlay site that utilizes the Reddit API to pull information from the Reddit website and format it in a more discreet and user friendly way. I did not start this site myself, the credit goes to Gvda solutions on Github. I added functionality like the NSFW toggle function, autocomplete, and hash URL functionality. For more info, please refer to the github page.
This is a simple messaging application that uses sockets to try to achieve the most seamless experience. It uses mongo extensively as both database and session control with cookies. This is a WIP.
This is a site that I made to act as a boilerplate for later work. The goal was to put as much functionality in one site as I could come up with using the express framework.
