Re: Superman & Batman movie will follow Man of Steel
I think my favorite Lois Lane moment is in
Superman: TAS
's "A Little Piece of Home" by the late Hilary J. Bader. When Clark is exposed to a sliver of kryptonite Lois has, he feels faint and looks sickly, and before Lois leaves to pursue her story, she crisply, curtly instructs the waitress to bring him chicken soup and tea. Her manner is as tough and no-nonsense as ever, but she's instinctively
taking care
of Clark, showing compassion through her deeds if not through her words and manner. And it's just so matter-of-fact and automatic, a throwaway moment that says something profound about her. S:TAS's Lois was very protective of Clark, and there's a charming irony in that.

The prospect of renewed Congressional budget fights helped undercut consumer spending last month, according to a report from First Data.
The $400 million First Heritage Federal Credit Union in Painted Post, N.Y. announced that Justin Michael Dildine has joined as a commercial loan officer. He will be responsible for developing new business banking relationships, including commercial lending, within the credit union's three-county market area.

Five of 2014's Most Compelling Digital History Exhibits and Archives
A Senator's Open Christmas Letter to the Racially Divided City of Boston, 1974
Published in the Boston Herald-American on Dec. 25, 1974 and in the Boston Globe on Dec. 26, this open Christmas letter from Massachusetts Sen. Edward Brooke asked a city divided over school busing to remember its tolerant heritage, and to reach deep to recover an empathetic spirit of cooperation. The letter came after months of bitter strife over school integration in the city.
Hopeful Hand-Embroidered Christmas Cards, Sent Home From the Front During WWI
A recent post on the photo blog The Passion of Former Days alerted me to the Australian War Memorial's large digital collection of embroidered Christmas postcards, sent home from Europe during World War I. The items, which feature cheerful and patriotic messages worked out in silk floss, reminded me of the soldier-stitched sweetheart pincushions I featured on this blog last year.
Blind Kids' Experiences at the Early–20th-Century Museum of Natural History, in Photos
In this group of photographs taken between 1914 and 1927, students who were blind or had diminished eyesight partook of special instruction at New York's American Museum of Natural History. In 1929, the museum's Department of Public Education reported that teachers of public school classes for such pupils had their pick of 10 museum "talks" in "natural history, geography, history, civics, and health." Students could touch and hold the props used in the lectures, and examine them closely. Photographs like these advertised the museum's good works in official publications, like Natural History, which were sent to its donors.
A Vision of the Utter Chaos That Was Early–19th-Century Firefighting
In 19th-century humorist David Claypoole Johnston's cartoon "The Experiment," a Boston crowd watches a building burn, as inept firefighters struggle to get water onto the blaze. Matthew Pearl's story in the Atavist, "Company 8," describes the "experiment" the cartoon critiques: Boston's 1837 move to professionalize firefighting, standardizing an endeavor that had been inefficient at best, and deadly at worst. As Johnston's art shows, not everyone believed that this innovation would work.
The Most Beautiful and Intelligent Historical Coffee-Table Books of 2014
I'd like to sing the praises of large-format, image-heavy historical books that are creative in approach and gorgeous to peruse. I suppose you could call them coffee-table books—they are handsome enough to be used for display—but the ones I like the most also contain great text, and you may find yourself reading them in earnest. I'm rounding up some of my favorites from this year, so that anyone who's still looking for a holiday gift for a history fan might find inspiration.
The Goofy, Anti-Nazi Parody Video That Enraged Goebbels
The "Lambeth Walk" was a popular dance craze in the U.S. and the U.K. in the late 1930s. The song, from the musical Me and My Girl, referred to a street in a Cockney district in London. Dancers strode back and forth, punctuating their "walk" with high kicks and broad gestures. (You can see a rendition from a 1984 production of the musical here. Advance to the 2-minute mark to see the whole cast dancing the Walk.)
A Detailed, Majestic Diagram of Two British Ships of War, From an 18th-Century Encyclopedia
This illustration, used to demonstrate the rigging and interior setup of first- and third-rate British ships of war, appeared in Ephraim Chambers' Cyclopedia, published in 1728. The book was one of the first English-language encyclopedias, and inspired Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert's more famous project, published in France in the middle of the century.
Late-1940s Chicago CSI, in Photos
A new book of classic crime photos from the Chicago Tribune, Gangsters & Grifters, contains a few interesting shots of late-1940s forensic science. In this era, photographers covering crime, Tribune writer Rick Kogan points out in the book's forward, "got up close," allowing for the photographs' "compelling intimacy." (Many of the book's other photos—those of dead and dying criminals, for example—are positively grisly.)
Spin a 3-D Representation of a Beautiful 17th-Century Celestial Globe
The 1603 Sphaera stellifera globe by Willem Janszoon Blaeu showcases cutting-edge 17th-century astronomy in three dimensions. Designed by printmaker Jan Saenredam, it is also stunningly beautiful. It features highly accurate observations of the Northern Hemisphere, and pictures the newly discovered constellations of the Southern sky, offering them as heavenly proof of the success of the Dutch colonial enterprise.

It's the last pay per view stop for WWE as we head to Wrestlemania 31 in Santa Clara, CA in late March. Tonight, live from Memphis, TN it's the "Fast Lane" pay per view event (also available on WWE Network for…Free if you're a new subscriber…or $9.99 otherwise). John Cena will attempt to hang the first loss on the Russian super athlete Rusev and take his US Championship. Nikki Bella will play mean girl and defend her Divas Championship against Paige.

- Nikki Bella (w/Brie Bella, c) vs. Paige; WWE Divas Championship
- Rusev (w/Lana, c) vs. John Cena; WWE United States Championship
- Daniel Bryan vs. Roman Reigns; Winner earns the right to face Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 31 for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
- In a non-wrestling segment, Triple H will go face to face with Sting regarding his presence in the company
They open by showing fans entering the arena as Renee Young introduces the show. She is joined by Booker T, Corey Graves, and Byron Saxton on the panel.

Nice, but needs small improvements
Keith Lathrop from North Carolina
I purchased this hot tub from Wayfair through Amazon and the shipping time and price was superb. The following is the review I posted at Amazon.
Eve from Cape Coral, FL
Very nice hot tub- perfect size for 2 people!
Awesome tub
Christine from Sebastopol, CA
We have had this tub for years and it is a wonderful addition to our lives. To be considered, however, is the flimsy siding in relationship to the cover which hooks onto it. The cover is soft material that caves in with rain water, putting pressure on the clasps that are screwed into the siding. Several have broken, ripping right out of the siding. It would be such an improvement if a hard cover came with this tub!
Spa should have been better
Frank from Augusta, ME– Verified Buyer
This QCA SPA seemed perfect on paper to replace our previous 2 person spa - and an excellent value at Wayfair - however, there are a few things other people should note:
Brigitte from Wisconsin
Review this product in 20 words or more...is there a way to get a hard cover for this spa? We love this spa but it is cold here....
my spa
ernest d sanders from anderson island
This spa is the best i have ever had. The smallest ( 150 gal )and takes up very little space. It is just a great 2 person spa.
Love the spa
Tom from Talmage, Pa.
Spa is great! wish opening instructions were easier...opening panel was mean but figured it out. cord does not fit thru the pre drilld hole. Having trouble finding a hard top, help! Other than initial
good power in the jets, nice design
Joanne Murray from Bala Cynwyd, PA– Verified Buyer
The external shell is a bit flimsy, but the functional systems are great. Note: when you first turn it on the jets will run until it reaches temp. In speaking with QCA service, you are supposed to turn down the power of the jets if you need to leave it while it heats. I did not find that in my book.
Very Satisfied
Tina from Matawan, NJ– Verified Buyer
The tub was relatively easy to set up. Its the perfect size for the space. In retrospect we may have wanted to add a couple of more jets for the legs and feet. Over all a great buy.
Just what we wanted easy set up easy to use
Linda Williams from Long Key, FL– Verified Buyer
Just what we expected. a good product only down side was a delay in delivery. Set up was no problem and it's getting daily use. Looks good on our patio!

Chamber Of Commerce Wants To Preserve State Tax Cuts
The Kansas Chamber of Commerce says that in the 2014 legislative session, it will push to protect recently-enacted tax cuts.
The organization released a survey Tuesday of businesses in the state, showing that 57 percent of businesses say the taxes they pay are too high.
Former Kansas House Speaker Mike O'Neal is the president and CEO of the Kansas Chamber. He says some businesses may not have felt the impact of recent tax cuts yet.
"The business man who's looking at the bottom line isn't sitting there segregating out what part is income tax, what part is this or what part is that. It's 'what is my bottom line looking at and what are the components that contribute to that,'" O'Neal says.
A spokesman for the group that conducted the poll says the result may have something to do with the ongoing debate on Kansas taxes in recent years. All the tax talk may have spurred business owners to examine the taxes they pay more closely.

Heathyr, if you have close family and friends, simply ask if they would be willing to bring food. Don't call it a "potluck," because that would be a little over the top. But more often than not people want to help you. Asking a family to bring one or two dishes isn't requesting a whole lot. And if you have enough people to ask, you'll have enough food for your wedding without offending everyone else.

meatloaf cupcakes. with mashed potatoes as the "icing". Cute idea for a "reverse" dinner. Just need a cake that looks like meat loaf for dessert.
meatloaf cupcakes. with mashed potatoes as the "icing". hahahaha! my favorite foods! Dinner next week? @Nathalie Benito Barger
meatloaf cupcakes. with mashed potatoes as the "icing". LINK IS BROKEN. We had these tonight for dinner and since the link was broken, here is what I did: Spray a Cupcake pan with non-stick cooking spray and heat oven to 350 (I finally cranked mine to 375 as it was getting late and the little guy's were starving) I made a "new" meatloaf recipe that I got bits and pieces of from different recipe sites. 2 lbs of 95% ground sirloin several cups of very finely chopped veggies including carrots, onions, broccoli, and red, green and orange peppers (at least a 3/4 cup of each when it was all said and done~except the onion and I used a bunch of green onions) two eggs (slightly beaten) a palm size amount of Montreal Steak seasoning a few dashes of Worcestershire Sauce and bread crumbs (for firmness) Mix it all together and roll into baseball size balls and press each ball lightly into the muffin tin. *NOTE* The 2 pounds of ground sirloin and the veggies made 12 "muffins" pop those into the oven for 20-25 minutes, check internal temperature of "muffins" and return to oven as needed. Mashed potatoes: Use your regular recipe~or store bought. Tonight, I tried something a little different, just to see if the kids would notice (they didn't) I used three potatoes and half a head of cauliflower. I boiled the potatoes and the cauliflower together and when it came time to mash the potatoes I just mashed it all together. Boys thought they were the best mashed potatoes they have ever had. When the "muffins" come out of the oven "ice" them with the mashed potatoes. I just served the boys the muffins tonight for dinner, no side of vegetable. The Big Guy was still at work and I did not want to fight them to eat the vegetable. Besides, between the cauliflower in the potatoes and the carrots, peppers, onions and broccoli in the meatloaf, I think I had them covered. The Big Guy ate 2 muffins when he got home! 4 Scheu's up for this recipe as well!! PS super easy! PPS We WILL make these again and freeze them!!! for super easy lunches and dinners. PPPS I will probably make some sort of sauce with them next time. Maybe a gravy "glaze"??!!

AGEIA PhysX and Ghost Recon - Gaming at the next level - BFG PhysX Card"PhysX by AGEIA" is designed to take your PC gaming experience to the next level by introducing hardware driven physics.
BFG PhysX Card
The BFG PhysX card isn't very large at all and won't cause any problems when it comes to installing in your system. The blue PCB is the same as we have seen on some BFG graphics cards in the past and the general layout of the card makes it look very much like a VGA card minus the fact that it has no output ports.
The PhysX card actually generates a little bit of heat when running so as you can see BFG have included an active cooling fan on the card. It is the same cooler that is used on the BFG 6600GT, which it doesn't have any trouble cooling.
The fan also has a blue LED for a little bit of bling! We would recommend that you have good airflow throughout your case as it does get quite hot even with the fan spinning away.
The top right hand corner has a 4 pin molex connector to provide the card with the extra power needed as the PCI slot doesn't offer enough.
Moving to the bottom of the card we can see that it uses just a standard PCI connection. One question which was initially being asked was if the card was going to be PCI or PCI Express. AGEIA have made it clear that at the moment the PCI bus is able to offer enough bandwidth to do the physics calculations. Hopefully we do see a PCI Express version though as some high-end motherboards now come with less and less PCI slots and people want to start making use of those PCI Express slots.
The BFG Tech PhysX card comes with 128MB of DDR3 Samsung 2.0ns memory. We don't know what the memory is clocked at the moment but it will be interesting to see if anyone brings out a program that lets us overclock. How will this affect performance? The memory speed must be important otherwise DDR could have been chosen as opposed to DDR3. Only time will tell what we can do with the PhysX card from BFG Tech.
Turning the card over there isn't a lot to look at. There is no memory on the back, all 128MB is located on the front. The cooler is a simple clip in one so there is no back plate either. Apart from a whole lot of circuitry we have the model and the serial number located on the back.
Due to the card being an early sample, we didn't get an official driver CD so BFG simply included a burnt CD with a driver on it. Before we installed though we had a quick look at the BFG Tech website and noticed that a more recent driver was out so we didn't use the one that was provided with the card.
Support List
Currant games out that support the PhysX card is quite limited but the good news is that there is a good number of games coming out this year - some more exciting than others.
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter
Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends
Bet on Soldier: Blood Sport
Cell Factor
City of Villains
Unreal Tournament 2007
Gunship Apocalypse
Sacred II
Fallen Earth
Crazy Machine 2
Arena Online
Warhammer MMORPG
Eye of the Storm
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
Alpha Prime
Some games that really stand out are Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter which is due for release this month along with Cell Factor which has one of the best game trailers we have ever seen. Unreal Tournament 2007 depending how much it utilizes the PhysX card could be the game that really takes this card off. It will be interesting to see how Warhammer MMORPG goes and how the PhysX card works for online play especially in a massive multiplayer environment like Warhammer.

Multiply the width of the wall by its height to determine how many sheets of drywall will be necessary to cover the insulation.
How to Install Sheetrock Over Rigid Foam Board
Rigid foam board insulation is commonly used to help insulate homes. With varying sizes of thickness, this insulation is a great way to save on energy costs. This type of insulation is commonly installed in basements over concrete block, and installing drywall on top of it can give the room a finished and elegant look. Installing drywall over insulation is similar to installing drywall into regular studs; however, there are some added steps to ensure the drywall is properly installed.
Things You'll Need
- Tape measure
- Chalk line
- 1x3 furring strips
- Drill
- Masonry bit
- Hammer drill
- 4-inch long spring spikes
- Hammer
- Drywall screws
- T-square
- Utility knife
- Joint compound
- Taping knife
- Drywall sander
Mark a horizontal chalk line along the foam board 3 inches from the top of the wall, followed by a line 3 inches from the bottom. Measure from the bottom to the direct center and snap another chalk line. Add one more chalk line directly between the middle line and the top line. The fifth and final line will go between the middle line and the bottom line.
Line up the first furring strip on the bottom chalk line. Drill a hole 5 inches deep with a masonry bit and hammer drill through the insulation and into the concrete walls. Begin at one end and drill a hole every 16 inches. Repeat this process for each of the five furring strips. Drive 4-inch long spring spikes with a hammer into each of the holes.
Connect 1x3 furring strips vertically to the horizontal strips. Space the strips every 16 inches on center across the entire length of the wall. Drill in drywall screws spaced every 16 inches vertically.
Line up the first piece of drywall along the wall. If the sheet needs to be cut, use a T-square and cut along the straight edge with a utility knife. Bend the piece of drywall down and it will snap. Cut the back side to break it off completely.
Drill drywall screws beginning at the top left corner into the 1x3 vertical furring strips. Position the screws every 16 inches all the way down the entire sheet. Go around the entire sheet of drywall, screwing into the top, bottom and the other side. Repeat this process for each sheet, cutting to fit when necessary.
Mud over the seams and screws holes with joint compound and a taping knife. Spread out the mud with a knife to cover any gaps. Smooth out the compound by sanding down the area with a drywall sander.

Tips & Warnings
- Sheets of drywall generally come in 4-by-8-foot sheets, covering 32 square feet.

Sad Schefflera
Hello all,
I have a 3.5 year old schefflera that I got from Ikea of all places. After having it's growth stunted by keeping it in the same pot it came in for the first 2 years of its life, I finally got around to repotting it and it grew a little. Then it got some mites or something on it so I moved it outside during the summer and through benign neglect, it thrived out there. We moved at the beginning of the year and since then it's been suffering.
Here are some pix:
I had to snip off the dying stem, but I don't know if I've snipped off enough. There is one stem left that was growing below the amputated part and I left it on, but some of its leaves are now turning black.
As you can see in this photo, there's mold! I think that's my problem here and so I've held back on the watering.
My questions are:
1) do I need to repot this with new soil and if so, what soil would be best?
2) how much more of the plant should I cut off to save it? Or can it be saved? Will the mold or whatever move to the other main stem now?
Teapot...Does your Schefflera still have Mites?
Instead of taking it outside, your plant should have been treated.
Spraying foliage with dish soap and water kills mites. No need for harsh chemicals.
Do any parts feel sticky? Do you see webbs (fine webbing?)
I don't see mold, but it looks like a darkened stem/small trunk.
Wait, are you talking about the white stuff on the soil? Or is it Perlite?
If the white stuff is mold, repot. You can use chemicals, but instead I'd repot in a well-draining soil.
If/When you repot, unless your Scheff is totally rootbound, don't use a larger size.
After repotting, place in medium light, and a drink. Don't re-water until soil is dry.
Mist 'leaves' daily, not soil, only foliage.
Once, or every other week, mist using a couple drops of dish soap in sprayer.
If you plan on keeping the long stem, stake so it stand erect, or prune off.
Keep away from a heating unit.
In Pic 1, your Scheff looks nice and green.
Remove dead/dying leaves, and prune soft or darkened wood.
Mold looks fuzzy. Is it fuzzy? Are the stems soft or firm?
TP - yes, you should repot, even though now is not the best timing. It will give you an opportunity to look at the roots and prune any roots that are compromised back to sound tissue.
It's difficult to determine if you are over-watering or the soil is too water retentive. What determines which side of the fine line you're on is the answer to the question, "Can I water this plant thoroughly, so that at least 10-20% of the total volume of water applied exits the drain hole without having concern about the soil remaining saturated long enough to cause root rot?" If the answer is 'NO', the soil is inappropriately water-retentive. If you can answer 'YES', then the fault lies with watering habits. Obviously there is a fungal issue affecting the roots that has gone systemic and is affecting the stems. It's not likely that will self-correct w/o some intervention on your part.
The 'best' soil is one that is made of predominantly coarse particles, like pine bark, perlite, Turface, crushed granite ..... anything larger than peat/compost/sand/topsoil. How much water your soil retains is directly ind inextricably linked to the size of the particles in the soil. If you want to learn more about soils, the discussion I linked to below (on this forum) will be helpful.
You'll also find that an understanding of the information in this thread about how water behaves in container soils will be a very valuable addition to your tool box. This thread has been active on the Container Gardening Forum since 2004 or 2005.
Here is a link that might be useful: More about soils: if you click me, I'll take you there ....
Thank you so much! I'll post how things go.
Anyway, no more mites. The white stuff on the soil isn't perlite - I'm pretty sure it's mold and my problem was that I repotted the scheff in a pot that was too big and I overwatered the whole thing.
re: compromised roots - do you mean rotting moldy smelly wet roots? I'll look!
Yes, TP. By compromised roots I meant roots that are affected by rot that could spread further. If you find soft, dark, smelly roots, trim them back to what you're sure is sound, healthy tissue & repot into a soil that is durable and drains well. Please do read the links. Let us know how things go, too.
Best luck.

Rivaling Tom Seaver as the finest pitcher of the 1970s, Steve Carlton won the National League Cy Young Award in 1972 and 1977, before capturing another two trophies during the early portion of the ensuing decade. One of the greatest left-handed hurlers in the history of the game, Carlton trails only Warren Spahn in victories for a southpaw, with 329. He also ranks fourth on the all-time strikeout list with a total of 4,136. The first pitcher to win four Cy Young Awards, Lefty, as he came to be known, surpassed 20 victories on six separate occasions, winning at least 16 games another four times. Over an 18-year stretch beginning in 1967, he failed to post at least 13 victories just once. During that same period, he also finished with an earned run average under 3.00 a total of eight times, struck out more than 200 batters eight times, and threw at least 250 innings 13 times. Carlton remains the last National League pitcher to compile as many as 25 victories in a season, as well as the last pitcher from any team to throw more than 300 innings in a season.
Born in Miami, Florida on December 22, 1944, Steven Norman Carlton developed his pitching skills while playing Little League and American Legion baseball in his home state. After graduating from North Miami High School, he attended Miami-Dade Community College. The 18-year-old southpaw signed with the St. Louis Cardinals as an amateur free agent while still a student at Miami-Dade in 1963.
Although scouts initially expressed concerns over whether or not Carlton had the ability to throw hard enough to succeed at the major league level, the 6'4" lefthander advanced quickly through the St. Louis farm system after instituting a rigorous workout regimen that enabled him to build himself up through the use of weights. Having developed a decent curveball and a well-above-average fastball, Carlton joined the Cardinals at the start of the 1965 campaign, appearing in a total of 15 games for the team over the course of the season without recording a decision. He received a more extensive look from the club the following year, compiling a record of 3-3 in his nine starts.
Carlton became a regular member of the St. Louis starting rotation in 1967, helping the Cardinals win the first of two consecutive National League pennants by going 14-9 with a 2.98 earned run average, while striking out 168 batters in 193 innings of work. Although Carlton lost his only World Series start to Boston, he allowed the Red Sox just one unearned run and three hits in six innings pitched. After another solid season the following year, Carlton developed into one of the National League's dominant pitchers in 1969. Experimenting for the first time with a slider, which eventually became his signature pitch, Carlton posted a record of 17-11, an ERA of 2.17, and struck out 210 batters, topping the 200-mark for the first time in his career. The big lefthander's 2.17 ERA placed him second in the National League rankings, earning him a start in the All-Star Game. Carlton had arguably his most dominating performance of the year against the eventual world champion New York Mets on September 15, striking out a then-record 19 men, despite ironically losing the contest, 4-3, on a pair of two-run home runs by Ron Swoboda.
A contract dispute with the Cardinals made Carlton a no-show at spring training in 1970, leading to a horrendous 10-19, 3.73 ERA campaign by the 25-year-old southpaw. After having difficulty controlling his breaking pitches all year, Carlton relied more heavily on his fastball in 1971, bouncing back by compiling a record of 20-9.
Carlton subsequently asked the Cardinals for a $10,000 raise to $65,000 during the off-season, raising the ire of team management. Instead of granting the pitcher's request, St. Louis traded him to the Philadelphia Phillies for right-hander Rick Wise. Although Wise was a fine pitcher in his own right, the deal ended up going down as one of the worst in Cardinals history. Bing Devine, the St. Louis General Manager who dealt Carlton at the behest of Cardinals owner Auggie Busch, later explained his thinking at the time: "We hadn't been able to sign Carlton. There was no free agency, so he didn't have the freedom to say, 'Sign me or else.' He was being very difficult to sign for the ridiculous amount of $10,000 between what he wanted and what we'd give him. Many times Mr. Busch gave me a little leeway in the budget, but in the case of Carlton, Mr. Busch developed the feeling that Carlton was a 'smart-aleck' young guy,' and I'm not used to having smart-alecks tell me what to do."
Carlton later shared his recollections of the trade that made him a member of the Phillies: "Auggie Busch traded me to the last-place Phillies over a salary dispute. I was mentally committed to winning 25 games with the Cardinals and now I had to re-think my goals. I decided to stay with the 25-win goal and won 27 of the Phillies 59 victories. I consider that season my finest individual achievement."
Carlton's 1972 performance has to be considered one of the finest ever turned in by a pitcher. By going 27-10 for the last-place Phillies, the lefthander established a major league record by compiling 46 percent of his team's victories. In addition to leading all National League pitchers in wins, he topped the circuit with a 1.97 ERA, 310 strikeouts, 30 complete games, and 346 innings pitched, en route to winning the pitcher's version of the Triple Crown, his first Cy Young Award, and the Hickok Belt as the top professional athlete of the year. Carlton performed so magnificently that he also placed fifth in the league MVP voting despite Philadelphia's distant last-place finish.
Carlton attributed his success in 1972 to his grueling training regimen, which included Eastern martial arts techniques, the most famous of which involved twisting his fist to the bottom of a five-gallon bucket of rice. His brilliant campaign also resulted from the further development of his three primary pitches – a rising fastball, a long looping curveball, and a legendary slider that he relied on more heavily than ever before. The last offering typically broke down-and-in to right-handed batters, making it virtually impossible for them to make solid contact with the ball. Tim McCarver, who made a career out of catching Carlton, first with the Cardinals and later as a member of the Phillies, noted, "When I played for other teams against Steve, I could hear the right-handed hitters saying, 'He may have gotten me out, but at least he didn't throw me the slider.'"
Although Carlton led the National League with 18 complete games and 293 innings pitched the following year, he also topped the circuit with 20 losses, while seeing his ERA almost double to 3.90. While occasional soreness in Carlton's left elbow was at least partly responsible for his relative ineffectiveness, articles began appearing in the Philadelphia newspapers questioning his somewhat unusual training techniques, as well as his fondness for fine wine. Growing increasingly indignant over his treatment by the members of the press corps, Carlton severed all ties with the media at the conclusion of the 1973 campaign, vowing to never again answer their questions. Looking back at his acrimonious relationship with the media, Carlton later suggested, "It (not talking to the media from 1974 through the end of his career) was perfect for me at the time. It took me two years to make up my mind. I was tired of getting slammed. To me it was a slap in the face. But it (his silence) made me concentrate better."
Still bothered by occasional pain in his pitching elbow, Carlton posted a combined record of 31-27 from 1974 to 1975, leading the league with 240 strikeouts in the first of those campaigns. Healthy again in 1976, he helped the Phillies capture the N.L. East title for the first of three consecutive times by going 20-7, with a 3.13 ERA. Carlton won his second Cy Young the following year, leading the league with a record of 23-10, while also placing among the leaders with a 2.64 ERA, 17 complete games, 283 innings pitched, and 198 strikeouts.
After winning a total of 34 games the previous two seasons, Carlton captured his third Cy Young Award in 1980. The lefthander's 2.34 ERA and league-leading 24 victories, 304 innings pitched, and 286 strikeouts helped lead the Phillies to their fourth N.L. East title in five years. Carlton then performed brilliantly during the postseason, winning his only decision against Houston in the NLCS, before going 2-0 with a 2.40 ERA during Philadelphia's six-game World Series triumph over Kansas City.
Carlton pitched extremely well during the strike-shortened 1981 campaign, compiling a record of 13-4 and a 2.42 ERA, before winning the Cy Young Award for the fourth and final time the following season. Lefty finished 23-11 in 1982, leading the N.L. in wins for the fourth time. He also topped the circuit with 19 complete games, six shutouts, 296 innings pitched, and 286 strikouts, while posting a very solid 3.10 ERA.
The 1982 season turned out to be Carlton's last big year. He pitched well enough in 1983, leading the National League with 284 innings pitched and 275 strikeouts despite finishing the campaign with a record of only 15-16. He also acquitted himself quite well in the postseason, winning his two starts against Los Angeles in the NLCS, while posting an outstanding 0.66 ERA. Although he lost his only World Series start to Baltimore, Carlton allowed just two earned runs in 6 2/3 innings of work. He had another solid year in 1984, going 13-7 with a 3.58 ERA. However, the 39-year-old hurler clearly appeared to be nearing the end of his career, since he completed only one of his 33 starts.
Carlton went just 1-8 in his first 16 starts in 1985 before being placed on the disabled list for the remainder of the year. After he began the 1986 season just 4-8 with a 6.18 ERA, the Phillies asked him to retire. Carlton, though, refused to do so, forcing the team to finally release him. Carlton then broke more than a decade of silence in the media to voice his reasons, and to thank the Philadelphia fans for their support. The lefthander split the remainder of the 1986 campaign between the San Francisco Giants and the Chicago White Sox, experiencing little in the way of success, before failing again the following year with both the Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins. He ended his career early in 1988 after being released by Minnesota.
Upon his retirement, Carlton ranked second only to Nolan Ryan in career strikeouts (he has since slipped to fourth). Over 24 major league seasons, he compiled a record of 329-244, an ERA of 3.22, and 254 complete games. Carlton led the National League in wins four times, ERA once, strikeouts and innings pitched five times each, and complete games three times. In addition to winning the Cy Young Award four times, he placed in the top five in the league MVP voting on three separate occasions. Although Carlton spent most of his career not speaking to them, the members of the BBWAA acknowledged his greatness by electing him to the Hall of Fame in 1994, the very first time his name appeared on the ballot.
Former Phillies outfielder Richie Ashburn served as a broadcaster for the team throughout Carlton's tenure in Philadelphia. Ashburn expressed his admiration for the lefthander by saying, "Lefty was a craftsman, an artist. He was a perfectionist. He painted a ballgame. Stroke, stroke, stroke, and when he got through (pitching a game) it was a masterpiece."
Author Peter Golenbock wrote in The Spirit of St. Louis (2000): "Carlton was not your normal guy. Communicating with him was not always easy. On the mound, he would tune out all distractions. Off the mound, he did the same. If he considered you the distraction, he'd direct at you an icy stare. Teammates considered him to be a recluse. He hated to sign autographs. He refused to talk to reporters for long stretches at a time. He was devoted to the martial arts. He studied Far East religions. He was a wine connoisseur. He pissed people off with his stand-offishness and arrogance. Carlton was also the finest left-handed pitcher of his generation. In a career that would last 24 years, he would win 329 games, ninth all-time, with an ERA of 3.22. His 4,136 strikeouts were second all-time only to Nolan Ryan. Unfortunately, most of his career was not spent in St. Louis but rather in Philadelphia."
After retiring from the game, Steve Carlton waxed philosophical about his career, saying, "Everything I was, physically and mentally, that's what I put on that field....So what I did on the field was the essence of what I am. Remember me like that."

Officials release name of North Richland Hills worker killed in Hurst wreck
Authorities have released the name of the North Richland Hills city employee who was killed Friday when the dump truck he was driving crashed on a ramp leading to southbound Northeast Loop 820 in Hurst.
Adam Elkins, 42, of North Richland Hills was identified Wednesday by the Tarrant County medical examiner's office.
According to an obituary published in the Star-Telegram, Elkins was married and the father of four sons.
Elkins was driving the truck to a landfill when the wreck occurred at 1:50 p.m. on a ramp near Northeast Mall, police said. Witnesses told police that Elkins lost control of the truck, and it landed on its side, spilling its contents.
Traffic on the ramp was shut down until about six hours.

The cloud has changed the fundamental nature of computing and how business gets done and it will continue to do so through 2020. In fact, IDC predicts that by 2020 clouds will stop being referred to as "public" and "private" and ultimately they will stop being called clouds altogether. It is simply the new way business is done and IT is provisioned. IDC research also shows that the global cloud infrastructure is super-scaling and becoming the launch pad for infrastructure innovation and as a result, hardware vendors' innovations are shifting to "cloud first".

Protests in Belfast Ahead of Obama's Trip to G8 Summit
(BELFAST, Ireland) -- Belfast's City Hall was the site of a march on Saturday, ahead of next week's G-8 summit.
According to BBC News, the rally was organized by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. The march took the group from the city's Custom House square to City Hall.
The protesters believe that capitalism and the policies of the G-8 leaders have led to global poverty, BBC News says.
A second protest, consisting of loyalists against a restriction on flying the union flag at City Hall took place at the same time.
The G-8 leaders, including President Obama, will meet in Belfast on Monday and Tuesday.

* IMF board to consider tranche in late March
* Raises GDP growth forecast to 3.1 pct in 2013/14
* Economic situation very difficult but sees improvement
* Says central bank needs to be vigilant on inflation
* Eurobond issue on track - Fin Min
* May be followed by sukuk, depending on demand (Adds quotes, details, background)
By Martin Dokoupil and Nadia Saleem
DUBAI, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Pakistan appears to be on track to receive a third loan tranche worth $550 million from the International Monetary Fund later this year as the country goes ahead with economic reforms, the IMF's mission chief to Islamabad said on Sunday.
"The IMF mission...is encouraged by the overall progress made in pushing ahead with policies to strengthen macroeconomic stability and reviving economic growth," Jeffrey Franks told a joint news conference with Pakistan's finance minister in Dubai.
He was speaking after consultations between the IMF and Pakistan. They took place in Dubai because of security concerns after 21 people, including the IMF's top representative in neighbouring Afghanistan, were killed in a Kabul suicide attack last month.
"The authorities' reform programme remains broadly on track with the government meeting all of the quantitative performance criteria by end-December 2013," Franks said.
He added that two exceptions were targets for the central bank's net swap/forward positions and the ceiling on government borrowing from the central bank, but that authorities had reaffirmed their commitment to adopt corrective action.
The IMF's executive board is tentatively scheduled to consider in late March whether Pakistan will obtain the third tranche of its IMF loan programme, Franks said.
Last September, the IMF saved Pakistan from possible default by agreeing to lend it $6.7 billion over three years. In return, Pakistan must make good on reforms such as a longstanding promise to privatise loss-making state companies. Franks said the IMF was not imposing privatisation on Pakistan but was very supportive of the process.
The IMF raised Pakistan's gross domestic product growth forecast to 3.1 percent for the fiscal year 2013/14, which started in July, from the previous prediction of 2.8 percent, because of better performance in services and manufacturing.
Franks said Pakistan was still in a very difficult economic situation but that the IMF saw signs of improvement as reforms in the electricity sector seem to be bearing fruit, with electricity shortages and unscheduled load-shedding declining.
Finance Minister Ishaq Dar described the country's economic growth as "encouraging", adding that tax collection had risen 26 percent in January and that the IMF seemed to be more or less satisfied with the central bank's net asset reserves.
Decisive efforts to broaden the tax net through elimination of tax exemptions and loopholes granted through statutory regulatory orders are critical to the future of Pakistan's economy, the IMF also said.
The IMF and Pakistan differ on inflation expectations, with the Fund projecting a 10 percent rate in the current fiscal year. Dar said: "Based on the moderate rate of inflation of 7.9 percent during January 2014, we expect that inflation for the entire fiscal year would remain within a single digit."
The Washington-based body encouraged Pakistan's central bank to be vigilant in coming months to guard against a rebound of inflation. It would like to see price growth in a 6-7 percent range on a sustainable basis, Franks said.
Pakistan is "well on track" in the process of issuing a eurobond, and expects the process to be completed by the end of March, Dar said.
He told reporters that he did not expect the cost of the issue to be over 6 percent, and that it should be around the "usual" benchmark price.
"There is a huge demand for this bond and it may be followed by an Islamic bond or sukuk. I'm not sure because it depends on the interest - but so far we are very positive."
Bankers not involved in the transaction told IFR, a Thomson Reuters service, last month that Pakistan had mandated a U.S. dollar bond offer to take place sometime in the first quarter.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Peaceful aboriginal protests, temporary blockades crop up across Canada
Banner-waving, drum-pounding First Nations protesters and supporters blocked bridges, slowed transport trucks and stalled rail traffic across the country Wednesday as the Idle No More movement flexed its muscles in a public show of solidarity.
Amid pleas from aboriginal leaders for civility on both sides, peaceful protest appeared to be the order of the day, but motives varied. Some groups spoke of their own land claims, others decried the federal government's changes to environmental oversight. Still more spoke of the need to honour all First Nations treaties.
In a message on their Facebook page, Idle No More organizers said their goal was to resist government policies in a peaceful and respectful way.
"It can be done," the post said. "It can be done without aggression or violence. This is an energetic, exciting and transformative time."
Tempers appeared to flare briefly in Edmonton, however, where a group of protesters slowed traffic to a crawl on the busy highway artery that connects the capital city to Calgary.
At one point, the driver of a pickup truck tried to slowly push through the human blockade, prompting protesters to lean on the front of the truck. One even jumped up on the hood as onlookers shouted at the driver to stop.
The pickup was eventually allowed to pass and no one was injured.
Perhaps the biggest crowd of the day materialized in Windsor, Ont., where hundreds of people gathered at the Ambassador Bridge to temporarily snarl transport-truck traffic at the busiest border crossing in the country.
At one point, trucks were lined up for about a kilometre. Police said one entrance to the bridge was blocked, but a second remained open.
A group of people also set up a blockade on a rail line near Belleville, Ont., about a two-hour drive northeast of Toronto. Via Rail said the blockade halted the movement of trains between Toronto and Montreal and Ottawa. By Wednesday night, OPP said the blockade had been cleared.
In downtown Toronto, about 100 people sang songs, played aboriginal drums and belted out anti-Harper slogans as they slowly made their way through the city's core, snarling traffic as they marched towards Dundas Square.
"It's a new year and we want a new relationship. What kind of relationship do we want?" protester Wandsa Nanibush asked the crowd.
"Nation to nation," came the enthusiastic reply.
"The lands, the waters, everything that is the lifeblood of ourselves, our country and our people," Nanibush said. "We're in this together and we have to stand side by side as nations to nations. That's the only way this country can go forward."
Rebeka Tabobondung told the gathering that the government is trying to silence their traditions and culture.
"We want Canadians to know that we're asking you to listen," Tabobondung said.
"To listen to these teachings that we have, and to learn from them and to inform the structures of your government based on values systems that are so beautiful, that are about living in balance with a connection to the natural world."
Merv King, a member of the Timiskaming First Nation who lives in Toronto, came to the rally to support the Idle No More movement and its tactics.
"I believe it's time to take actions now," King said.
"Closing the roads, maybe the railroads — some of these things need to be done because if we don't do these things then nobody pays attention. So, you've got to take some drastic action to get some results."
In B.C., about 100 protesters gathered outside community hearings on the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline in Vancouver, which organizer Frank Brown — a member of the Heiltsuk First Nation near Bella Bella, B.C. — said would lead to oil tankers passing through his nation's traditional waters.
"We know that this current government has not been receptive. We know that there's a spirit of denial in dealing with our aboriginal peoples," Brown said.
"Our people have been ignored, our rights have been ignored and that's why our people are rising up. They're tired of being ignored."
About 200 First Nations protesters also took part in a 45-minute highway blockade north of Victoria. Protesters were also blocking the Canadian National (TSX:CNR) rail line through Kitwanga, in northwest B.C.
A rail blockade was also established for part of the day on a CN rail track west of Portage La Prairie, Man., where the tracks cross the Yellowhead Highway, said Terry Nelson, former chief of the Roseau River First Nation.
"This is all about the businesses in Canada that depend on CN and their product being there on time," said Nelson, who described the protest as an effort to make business leaders stand up and take notice of the dispute.
Nelson had said the protesters planned to block the line until Saturday, but the group of about 20 demonstrators left the area after CN obtained an injunction against them which was served by police.
Elsewhere across Canada, a handful of flag-waving demonstrators stopped a train on a rail line an hour west of Winnipeg, while marchers were also on hand to temporarily divert traffic from a main bridge in Miramichi, N.B.
About 150 people rallied outside the residence of New Brunswick Lt.-Gov. Graydon Nicholas. They pounded drums, sang and waved signs as they walked from the St. Mary's First Nation and marched through Fredericton
In Quebec, about two hours northeast of Ottawa, the Algonquins of Barriere Lake also slowed traffic along Highway 117.
In northern Alberta, members of the Lubicon Lake Nation staged information checkpoints on roads through the oilsands region.
"We're not out blocking the roads and shutting things down, we're not at that point," Coun. Bryan Laboucan said of the demonstration.
"All we're doing here today is taking a few minutes to talk to people visiting our territory, whether for work or just passing through, and educate them on our situation."
