Major Section: BREAK-REWRITE
Example Form: :ok-if (null (brr@ :wonp))whereGeneral Form: :ok-if expr
is a term involving no free variables other than state
and returning one non-state
result which is treated as Boolean.
This form is intended to be executed from within break-rewrite
(see break-rewrite).
Consider first the simple situation that the (ok-if term)
is a
command read by break-rewrite
. Then, if the term is non-nil
exits and otherwise it does not.
More generally, ok-if
returns an ACL2 error triple
(mv erp val state)
. (See ld for more on error triples.) If
any form being evaluated as a command by break-rewrite
the triple returned by (ok-if term)
then the effect of that form
is to exit break-rewrite if term is non-nil
. Thus, one
might define a function or macro that returns the value of ok-if
expressions on all outputs and thus create a convenient new way to
exit break-rewrite
The exit test, term
, generally uses brr@
to access context sensitive
information about the attempted rule application. See brr@.
is useful inside of command sequences produced by break
conditions. See monitor. :ok-if
is most useful after an :eval
command has caused break-rewrite
to try to apply the rule because in
the resulting break environment expr
can access such things as
whether the rule succeeded, if so, what term it produced, and if
not, why. There is no need to use :ok-if
before :eval
ing the rule
since the same effects could be achieved with the break condition on
the rule itself. Perhaps we should replace this concept with
? Time will tell.

Should Be Eurfreaka
Trip Start
Nov 10, 2009
Trip End
Dec 18, 2009
Where I stayed
I walk through town looking for a place to eat (I'm skipping around in time). There are neat little book shops, cafes and chocolatiers. I also find those places that sell nautical antiques. Like a lot of the west this time of year, things shut down early. I wasn't buying anything anyway but, the window shopping was fun. There is an anti-war protest going on down the road. Obama is telling everyone that we're actually going to do something that the Soviets and the US have never done before, truly win a war in Afghanistan. People aren't pleased. Have we learned nothing from Rambo 4 or was it 5 I don't remember. Anyway the hippie protest scene is getting heated and I'm hungry.
I hit the CW and hunker down at the bar. An old man who looks like he's from the sea is there talking to an equally old and salty woman. She is telling tales of a man that the had several fits and starts at a relationship with but, somehow it never quite worked. She wasn't there a few times, he wasn't there another few and you can see the sadness in her eyes. He would genuinely like to help her but, he doesn't know what to say so he puts his arm around her like a Chaplain might as if to say It's going to be OK. They have a few drinks he, has a lot of drinks and is getting that Boris Yeltsin look about her. Normally, I'm getting upset about now because the bartender barely recognizes me and the crowd is sparse. I don't particularly care because the story was really good and a very attractive 20 something gal in all black with a jacket that has some sideways zippers enters the bar. She sits has a soup and salad an her hair is perfect. If I wasn't feeling all Heat Miser I might have moved over to her side of the bar but, by the time my food came out (yes, they eventually took my order, I had the maple BBQ pork special) she was gone.
I housed the pork special and feeling dizzy decide to go. It's was the hot head not the gal.
I find my way back to the hotel and start thinking about the next day. I need an oil change in a bad way. I need to figure out where I'm heading next and I need some freaking sleep.
Now back about 5 days ago, I learned a number of important things about the culture of the western middle west. These things I learned from the radio and may be repeating them so bear with me or next entry for you.
The radio stations out here are painfully palid and sadly predictable. Here's what I have heard on the FM dial (the dial doesn't even exist really so you can tell how old I am)
1. Ozzy Osbourne
2. Van Halen (DLR years)
3. Aerosmith
4. Judas Priest
5. Motley Crue
6. Def Leppard (I just added this one in)
I think there is a law that says if you aren't playing country western music where the main themes are I work too hard, I party too much, I cheated on my man, woman, I asked for forgiveness, I am saved by the baby Jesus, I am flawed, I will get in a fight with you at a saloon for no apparent reason, I'm proud of being a redneck, I view redneckism as not actually intolerance, I don't shave, I'm getting older, I'm sad and lonely, I did you wrong and I like ranch sorts of things. Then you must and I repeat MUST be playing one of the five above listed groups. You won't be hearing any Joy Division or New Order out here.
Needless to say the FM dial has not been blaring too much.
The other thing is that the radio is filled with all manner of conservative talk show hosts. Back east it seems like there is Rush and a few lesser players in the market-space out here there are tons of conservative talk show hosts and they all want to argue with you way more than Dave Peel could ever hope to in 3 lifetimes but, then again they get paid for this so it goes.
The next day (Thursday) I get up early. I'm always up around 6:30 am on the road, I sit there and assess the sponginess and where I stayed that night and where I am going that day and few are clear after said assessment.
I go to the veritable Denny's and get some breakfast. Then I walk across the street to the local mechanic and get the oil done. He is regaling me the perils of small business ownership and how it's like he works for the state. California really soaks their residents and business owners on taxes. It is harsh out here from gas to sales to income. The bastards in Sacramento don't know how to run this glorious place.
He tells me that they have robbed the small business owner so much over the years that he needs to find ways to take money off the books so he can keep his 20 employees that have all worked for him for over 20 years in the black. He feels robbed of free enterprise and is embarrassed to have true business incentives taken from him by the politicians and their taxes. His incentive is his employees. That's where it begins and ends and by the looks of his pants and sweaters he's not living high on the proverbial hog.
While this car oil and lube thing is going on (I later learn that to take the CC off my car would constitute a $25,000 fine for him and that my oil pan is leaking which means eventual head gasket problems and those are 3 words no one wants to hear.)
I go to the gym next door. Its a $7 day pass and I elliptical and lift a little all while wearing jammy pants and hikers and a sweatshirt.
I'm listening to a displaced bleach plant worker. He has been out of work for a while and took up with a family friend doing something but, he couldn't keep him on so he works part time at the gym and is excited about several employment possibilities coming down his pike. Parole Officer, Prison Guard or back to the bleach plant. He's talking about pay between $11 and $15 per hour but, is concerned about stability more than dough.
There is a woman in there in her 30's thin as a bone working out with all the meat-heads. She is grunting harder than they are and looks like she could be a bassist in Black Flag or Henry Rollins' long lost sister.
I've got 15 minutes to check out so I bid you adieu.
Laake, I need to learn how to play black jack at the Casino's in MS or TN so get your teaching hat ready. It's either that or we're knocking off some liquor stores. You can be the driver. I'll be the one looking crazy and saying "Give me what's in the register now hurry up!"
Not really, It's the sponginess talking.

Teaching Old Dogs New Tricks
How long have you been in maintenance management? Ten years? Twenty years? Maybe thirty? And, how did you get to your current management position? Was the career ladder mapped out for you, or did you have to create your own job?
For some fleet maintenance professionals, it's an easy climb to a management position. But once they're there, how do the best managers stay on top?
Many have found an answer in the Certified Automotive Fleet Manager (CAFM) program, offered by the National Association of Fleet Administrators (NAFA). In a profession that has no "official" curriculum, degree program or career track, the CAFM program is a beacon of light for fleet managers who never want to stop learning.
That's how it was with Rick Hilmer, CAFM, fleet maintenance supervisor for Prince George's County, MD, Department of Public Works and Transportation. After over 12 years in fleet management for the County, Hilmer had spent a lot of time networking with other area fleet professionals who had acquired the CAFM and CFM titles (CFM is an earlier version of the same program), and he respected the level of knowledge and professionalism that his colleagues displayed. At the same time, he was a strong advocate of technician certification through the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) for his 12 technicians.
"It was one of those things where I kept saying, 'One day... one day I'll do this,'" Hilmer recalls. "And, a lot of us have put the push on our staffs in recent years, as far as ASE goes: on the one hand, encouraging them to be ASE certified, and extolling the virtues of that, and on the other hand working with our agencies to develop incentives for that… and one day I was giving somebody the spiel on why they should be certified, and it just dawned on me that, 'How can you sit here and tell people all these great reasons why they need to be certified, and there's a certification program for you, and you're not doing it?' It kind of snuck up on me."
When Hilmer made the decision to pursue a CAFM three years ago, while he was with the County's Park & Planning Commission, he planned to proceed at a comfortable pace. But once he began the two year program, he found that many of his preconceived notions fell by the wayside.
The first surprise for Hilmer came when he realized that the program followed a very strict and rigorous schedule.
"Once I sent that application in I was on the clock, because I had to get this done in that period of time," he says. "It was a little overwhelming, because I had this idea in my mind of what pace I was going to be working at, and how I was going to do it. And the program was more structured than I thought previously.
"So in other words, they had me on a timetable," he continues. "I just thought I'd take a class or two a year and sooner or later I'll get there, and that's not how it was. There was a six-month period of time in which I had four courses to complete, and they were pretty tough."
The structure of the program is dictated by NAFA's "Education Competency Model," according to NAFA director of education Joe Dunne. "The Education Competency Model is divided up into seven disciplines, and one of those disciplines is maintenance management," he explains. The other disciplines are: asset management, business management, financial management, fleet information management, risk management, and vehicle fuel management.
"They gave us these giant binders for the four courses that made up a semester," Hilmer says, "but that didn't work for my way of thinking, so the first thing I did was I disassembled the whole thing and put them into individual course binders."
Hilmer flips through the course binder he put together for his maintenance classes, showing off the detailed technical sections dealing with such topics as 'Gas vs. Diesel,' 'Alternative Fuels,' 'Spec'ing Trucks,' and 'Maintenance Shop Operations.'
"A lot of the classes have a broad focus, like 'Principles of Supervision and Management,'" he says, "but then they add onto that more specific things, where they talk about current issues in fleet management, so you can start to relate some of the principles that you've learned to specifics."
There are currently over 160 CAFMs working in the fleet industry, according to Dunne, who oversees the CAFM program, and works with the certification board to make sure that the course content is relevant, comprehensive and up-to-date.
As Dunne explains, many people enroll in the CAFM program because their employer requires it, while many others pursue it for the knowledge and experience they hope to gain. Some CAFM candidates are technicians with a high level of vehicle expertise but no management experience, while others are experienced managers who are completely new to the world of vehicle management. Indeed, as Rick Hilmer points out, "really and truly it's amazing that there are people who have the exact same job title in this business, whose jobs look nothing like each other, and they have very little in common in terms of how they work and what they're responsible for."
"We're providing them the broadest, most comprehensive training program we can, specifically because we know that there are different kind of fleet managers, different kids of fleet administrators," Dunne explains. "Some are going to be more concerned with asset management, some are going to be more concerned with maintenance management. Some are going to work for government fleets that have their own shops, some are going to work for corporate fleets that are outsourcing almost all of their maintenance. But, whatever the emphasis in your job, you're going to find value in our program."
Over the two-year study plan, CAFM candidates take a total of eight courses, in two groups of four, and are tested on those. Usually that comes in the form of a proctored examination at a local community college.
When Hilmer went through the program, that test was followed by a "case study" exercise, in which he was presented with a real-world fleet management issue and then tasked with writing a detailed report on how to address that issue.
Although NAFA has recently reworked the CAFM program and replaced the case study with a new study module, it's still worth looking at the challenges Hilmer faced in doing what he describes as "the most work I've done on anything since college."
"They give you a package of information, and essentially give you a challenge," Hilmer recalls. "The idea is that you're in a working environment, and your boss has given you an assignment to research an issue and provide a well-organized position paper. In other words: this is where I think our organization needs to go on this issue, and here's all my background information and my research and here are my findings of fact, and here is my recommendation.
"The first thing that popped into my mind as I read through that was that I knew the answers to every one of those things," he says. "He wants to know whether we should do A or B? Well, we're going to do A."
But a funny thing happened when Hilmer started to research the problem: he found that none of his assumptions were correct.
"I had to throw my assumptions out; it didn't work," he admits. "It was like a wake-up call to me. This forced me to recognize that I am set in my ways in some fashion, and that I do have certain assumptions, that may be based on some amount of experience. But this business is always changing, it's always evolving."
After throwing out his initial attempt, Hilmer tried again, producing a 50-page report that ultimately earned him the CAFM.
On a practical level, NAFA changed the case study to allow more frequent testing and quicker turnaround. But on an educational level, Dunne explains, the new Education Competency Model demanded a more comprehensive study exercise than the very specific case study model would allow.
"Our program now, we feel, is more comprehensive, and of more value to fleet managers," Dunne explains, adding that the challenging learning experience Hilmer praises in the old model will still be present in the new one. "The curriculum is research-based for all seven of the disciplines, so rather than have that effect simply for one specific area, we're hoping to produce that effect across the seven disciplines."
While the educational experience remains the same, the new model is changing the way students can integrate the program into their working lives. Courses are now available online or on CD, and will eventually be online exclusively and updated every four months, to coincide with testing dates in February, May and October of each year.
"We're aware that the shelf life of a lot of the information changes quite quickly, and we're interested in being ahead of the curve," Dunne says, adding that NAFA will be announcing more training and certification news later this year.
Today, Hilmer is thinking ahead to his CAFM recertification, required every five years. By March, 2009, he has to earn 80 "credits" in areas such as community service, making legislative contacts, writing articles for publication, attending local NAFA educational programs, and attending the NAFA Fleet Management Institute.
"I have to be out there participating in the fleet world, not just sitting here in my shop doing things the way I think they need to be done, thinking I don't need to talk to anyone else," he says.
For Hilmer, the CAFM has benefited him in countless ways. "The knowledge gained from the program has really helped me to be able to communicate intelligently with folks in Legal, Finance or Risk Management about specific situations," he says. "They often seemed to be surprised that someone from Fleet is familiar with their areas of expertise, and it has given me credibility when I have issues which need to be resolved."

Don't think CAFM is for you?
If the CAFM program from NAFA doesn't suit your needs, there are two alternatives, offered by the North American Transportation Management Institute (NATMI), of Denver, CO.
Joel Morrison, director of business development for NATMI, describes the two fleet maintenance certification programs offered by this not-for-profit organization:
"In the maintenance area, we offer two programs. The first one is Certified Supervisor of Maintenance and Equipment, the second one being Certified Director of Maintenance and Equipment.
"Certification validates a skill set, but the benefits are different for everybody. Most people will say, "I want to improve my managerial or technical competence," or, "I'd like to have a credential that advances my career, but I'm also looking for something that establishes my professional reputation," or, "I want to improve my on-the-job performance." Some folks come to us because they want their credential recognized in courtroom testimony. The real value, from our perspective, is performance improvement.
"In maintenance, it's one thing to learn how to fix the equipment; it's another thing to learn how to manage the operation of maintaining it. This program fills in those gaps."
"The difference between our Supervisor of Maintenance Certification and our Director of Maintenance Certification is that one person implements policy, the other person writes that policy. Our certification program takes into account how many years of experience the person has. For example, the Supervisor of Maintenance Certification requires that they have a minimum of two years of experience in the maintenance field. The Director of Maintenance Certification requires five years in the maintenance field, or four years with a four year college degree. There is also certain expertise that is also taken into account.
"The Director of Maintenance Certification candidate is a full-time administrator, demonstrating their capability of handling a position which involves establishing programs, writing policy, setting standards, developing materials and providing leadership to achieve goals set in the shop.
"The Supervisor of Maintenance Certification candidate is typically going to be someone who was on the shop floor and has been made a supervisor now, at the shop level. It's taking that person and transitioning him from a technician to a supervisor role.
"The Supervisor of Maintenance Certification candidate implements the policy written by the Director. Those supervisors are the people who have the ability to carry out policy and program directives. They are expected to administer programs, provide leadership at the shop level, and engage in the development of programs that are established by their managers.
"Some of these people come up from the shop floor and they feel a lot of pressure. They say, 'I'm not a supervisor. What am I doing here?' The fleets are finding it hard to give these people the skill sets they need to be effective as supervisors. And the core of our programs give these folks those skill sets."
"From a maintenance perspective, a lot of it is about lowering vehicle maintenance costs, and that's really where we start with the two certification programs we have for fleet maintenance. Though the overall professional development aspect is the crux of why people come to us, the positive impact that our programs have on the company bottom line is usually why the company stakeholders want them to go through our program. So the returns are pretty significant.
"What sets us apart is that all of our programs are University accredited. These are college degree level programs, built on very rigorous course design standards. NATMI itself was established in 1944 at Penn State University, however today we are affiliated and accredited through Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Center for Integrated Transportation Safety and Security (CITSS). They're the ones who oversee our certification process, and accredit the NATMI training programs. They administer our certification exams, and they're also that third objective party that oversees the granting of certified status. They also monitor our course development to insure they meet university-level instructional design standards.
"We're partnered with 33 of the State Trucking Associations. The courses are all instructor-led, and they're scheduled pretty regularly through the State Trucking Associations. We also have some national partners, like the American Trucking Associations (ATA), American Bus Association, American Moving & Storage Association, and the Truckload Carriers Association."

Looking for Speaker Wire?
Start shoppingVideo: Monster Speaker Cable
Learn about some of Monster's popular speaker cable lines, and get tips on choosing the right kind for your system.
Steve: Monster Cable is practically synonymous with speaker cable. They've spent over thirty years researching and refining their cable designs for better sound. They're frequently used by musicians and in recording studios.
Dave: Right. And Monster Cable is also quite popular in homes, but it's not always the least expensive speaker cable option.
Steve: And we know that not everyone believes that speaker cables can make a difference. Some people have never heard that difference, and admittedly it's easier to hear on some systems than others. But if you have a high-quality system and you want to get the most out of it, speaker cables can be one of your most cost-effective improvements.
Dave: In this video, Steve and I are going to offer some advice on choosing the best speaker cables for your system.
Steve: Monster Cable's first speaker cable design is called Monster Original, and it's a great all purpose heavy-gauge cable — works pretty much with any system, and it can handle high power.
Dave: Yeah. One of the first times that I ever heard an improvement in the sound of my system that wasn't the direct result of adding a new component was connecting Monster Cable's Original cable. And like most people at the time, I was using just regular old lamp cord.
Steve: Me too.
Dave: Didn't know any better, and as soon as I put that Monster in my system I immediately was surprised by how much better the bass sounded and how much louder my system played.
Steve: Monster also makes a cable called XPHP. It's physically smaller that Original but it has a lot of the same performance. It's actually designed for smaller rooms and smaller systems.
Dave: And the décor friendly Monster XP cable is also good for small systems, and it comes available in a red or paintable white.
Steve: And if you want a cable that really blends into your room, Monster also makes a cable called SuperFlat™ Mini that's also paintable white and is super flexible. And it might look thin, but it actually has over three hundred strands, so it's no sonic lightweight.
Dave: You'll notice that some cables come with the connectors already attached. Good connectors are important because they make your cables easier to hook up, and they give you a more secure connection. If you need custom links for your cables you can buy separate connectors from Monster.
Steve: And there are several different kinds of connectors. The ones we're showing here are especially easy to attach because you don't even need any tools.
Dave: You can learn more about cables at crutchfield.com/MonsterCable.
Steve: Or you can talk, e-mail, or chat with one of our experts here at Crutchfield.

Thanks gma. It's 8 months today and now I'm looking forward to my 9mth chip. Time is just flying lately. I just finished my 5th and I must say it wasn't as wonderful as I thought it would be. Now I'm working on my defects. This part seems alot more grueling than the 4th and 5th. This is the part that is really opening my eyes.
I need a kick in the pants though. The longer my recovery progresses the better my life has become so much better but it makes less time for meetings and I know that's a mistake that a lot of people make. I'm lucky to get to 2 meetings a week now. But there is a noon meeting that goes on everyday about 1/2 from here so I'm going to look into that one so when I know I can't make it at night there will be one I can go to during the day.

Scene Info
Donny Wright is fast asleep on the couch when Jocks Exclusive Jimmy Fanz tiptoes into the room and wakes him with a tender kiss. Lean, furry muscle collides with more of the same as Donny responds with a smile and reaches over to pull the t-shirt off of Jimmy. Donny then slides out of his shorts to give Jimmy full access to the hard on their kissing has also awakened. Jimmy's mouth, tongue and hands go to work full-time: sucking, licking, tapping Donny's balls and massaging his taint, coming up periodically for air and more kisses. Then it's a slow strip for Jimmy, who, now naked, throws one of his legs over Donny's head and goes back to sucking, giving Donny the cue to put his mouth to work on Jimmy's dick and ass. Jimmy's invitation to 'fuck my sweet hole' needs no encouragement. The sound of flesh slapping flesh is punctuated by competing groans of satisfaction. Donny's thrusts are met with the flexing of Jimmy's hips and the squeezing of his muscled butt. Then, in good old-fashioned jock spirit, they stand side by side and squeeze out monster loads onto the couch pillows.

Known for its southern charm, the Atlanta food scene is as diverse as its residents. Atlanta restaurants feature traditional American and southern cuisine, but those who venture out into the city's different neighborhoods will find a variety of ethnic fare as well. With over 300 eating venues in the downtown area alone, everyone from foodies to families are sure to find something that tastes great.
The downtown area of Atlanta is home to some of the finest restaurants in the state, such as BLT Steak in the W Hotel or South City Kitchen in the midtown area. Holeman & Finch offers eclectic dishes in a more casual environment. Those looking for traditional soul food should try the Busy Bee Cafe or Gladys Knight's Chicken and Waffles.
The Buckhead neighborhood is the place to see and be seen after the sun goes down, and it's a place where nightclubs, Irish pubs and restaurants coexist in peace. Steak aficionados usually head to Bone's Restaurant or New York Prime, and Chops Lobster Bar is the place for seafood lovers. Aria and Cafe Jonah & the Magical Attic are known for their tasty and unique desserts.
Ethnic cuisine is one of the highlights of all things culinary in Atlanta. One Flew South is known for its quality sushi, Peasant Bistro is the place to go for French and Mediterranean cuisine and La Grotta Ristorante Italiano is the go-to Italian restaurant. Those who can't make up their minds usually wind up eating at Babette's Cafe, where the menu includes French, Belgian, Central European, Italian and Mediterranean dishes, as well as a large assortment of tapas. One of the best overall ethnic Atlanta restaurants, however, is Fogo de Chao, an authentic Brazilian churrascaria. Dining at Fogo de Chao is as much of an experience as it is a meal, but those who walk through the doors should have a good appetite, as it's an all-you-can-eat restaurant.

Social Security Chaining to CPI is interesting! But, to be fair, shouldn't we include Federal and State Government pensions as well? After all, President Johnson robbed Social Security and yet it's always been fungible. The Federal Government on the other hand; in the short history of Federal Pensions and State Pension has numerous times been bailed out with tax payer money!
Let's have the President and other Federal Officials get skin in the game! LET"S INSIST ON IT! Federal and State Government employee pensions should be the same Chain as Social Security!!

One hundred years ago, the Grindstone train wreck on July 28, 1911 involved William Linton Duncan and his son Alexander Noel Duncan. The Duncans were traveling on the train, playing with the Presque Isle Band, and were both injured on the excursion train that had carried passengers to the coast of Maine for a day in the sun at the sea. The train returned late the same night on a stormy trip that ended in one of the worst train accidents in New England, killing nine men mostly from Aroostook County. "The Grindstone Disaster of 1911″ was written by Thomas Clark and clearly describes what happened for those of us far removed from the familiarity of train travel. This centennial remembrance of the disaster helps us to consider the devastating influence the loss of life and health has on community, even many years later.
A shorter version of the article appeared in the August 3, 2011 issue of the Star Herald, Presque Isle, Maine's local weekly newspaper.

She's always been a daddy's girl, and that's fine and that's sweet when he's here but the problem is that he is so often Not Here. And then she's inconsolable. If she is generally kept happy everything proceeds smoothly but as soon as she's tired or her sister won't trade chairs on her whim or I deny chocolate milk because it's too close to bedtime, she begins to moan.
Daddddy. Daaaadddyyyyyyy.
She sounds like a ghost, except that she sits right in front of me as she cries.
It used to be worse because now she is, if this is a consolation, at least old enough that she understands that he is absent. Until recently his departures meant that she'd scream for him, expecting her cries to pull him back into the room.
So these piteous, heart-wrenching moans are a big improvement.
She asked this morning if we could call him but I had to say, "we can't, love, he's in a meeting right now." She responded, but I need to talk to him. I want to tell him he is taking TOO LONG to come home.
Last night when she was upset about his absence at bedtime I found a small framed picture of M from his childhood and I put it on her nightstand. This brought her some comfort, knowing he was looking over her while she slept.
Tonight it wasn't enough. She cradled the picture frame itself, sharp aluminum corners and all, as she moaned about his absence. I tried to remove the print from the frame but she insisted it be kept intact. I thought I'd sneak it out of her arms once she fell asleep but when I just checked on her, she was still hugging it.
Two more days, sweet girl. Two more days.
(For this trip.)

Lester, Francona share special bond
Jon Lester hadn't pitched particularly well during the 2007 season. He returned from chemotherapy treatment for anaplastic large cell lymphoma and pitched 63 innings with a 4.57 ERA during the regular season.
When the postseason started, the southpaw made two relief appearances, giving up two earned runs in 3 2/3 innings. Needing a starter for Game 4 of the World Series, however, then-manager Terry Francona turned to Lester.
After 5 2/3 innings of shutout ball by Lester, the Red Sox finished the sweep of the Rockies and captured their second World Series championship in four years.
That relationship between Lester and Francona was strong, and as Lester takes the mound in Thursday's series finale, that bond won't be forgotten.
"It's going to be a little weird," Lester said. "I look forward to it, catching up a little bit. I haven't seen him in a while, but yeah, it's definitely going to be a little awkward seeing him in that Indians uniform rather than the Red Sox. Now he's on the other side, so we have to do the same thing he taught us to do -- go out there and not worry about that stuff and try to compete and win."
Before handing the ball to Lester in the World Series, Francona talked about why he had faith in the then-23-year-old lefty.
"Jon has a way, as a lot of young pitchers do, of kind of maybe working himself into trouble," Francona said in 2007. "What's sort of special about him is, he has a way of working himself out of trouble."
Lester worked himself into plenty of trouble in 2012, when he set career highs in ERA (4.82), losses (14) and home runs allowed (25). There hasn't been much trouble evident in 2013.
Through three starts, Lester has gone 19 innings, allowed three walks and three runs on 15 hits (no homers), while striking out 18. His fellow starting pitchers have excelled, too, as they've allowed no more than three runs in any of Boston's first 14 games, a club record to start a season and the longest such streak in the American League since the 1990 Brewers, whose starters also went 14 games before allowing more than three runs.
Opposite Lester will be Zach McAllister, the former Yankee who was traded to Cleveland in 2010 as the player to be named for Austin Kearns.
After struggling at Triple-A in 2011, McAllister found success both in the Minors and Majors in 2012, when he hurled 125 1/3 innings for the Indians and posted a 4.24 ERA.
McAllister is 1-1 with a 2.19 ERA and nine strikeouts with no walks in 12 1/3 innings over two starts this season.
Red Sox: Where was Carp?
First baseman/outfielder Mike Carp, the forgotten man on the Red Sox's roster this season, made his first start on Wednesday, playing first base while pushing Mike Napoli to the designated-hitter spot.
Carp beat out Lyle Overbay, among others, for one of the last spots on Boston's roster and was 0-for-3, all in pinch-hitting appearances, before Wednesday.
With his 3-for-3 performance, which included two doubles and an RBI triple, Carp, who has 18 home runs in 551 career at-bats in the Majors, could force himself into the lineup again soon.
"We need to keep everyone involved as best we can," said manager John Farrell. "This is an opportunity to do that with the string of right-handers were going to be facing in this series and it looks to be the three right-handers we'll get with Kansas City as well, so I think we've had an opportunity to rotate everyone through in this series here."
While Napoli has been at first, Daniel Nava and Jonny Gomes have split the majority of at-bats at DH. David Ortiz could return to reclaim his starting spot as soon as Friday.
Indians: Opportunity for Brantley
With Michael Bourn on the 15-day disabled list, Michael Brantley went 0-for-3 with a walk in the leadoff spot.
Brantley has spent more time out of the top-spot in the order than at any other position in his career. Entering Wednesday, he had hit .267 with a .314 on-base percentage at leadoff. Overall, Brantley has a .330 on-base percentage.
"He's just a good hitter," said Francona. "He doesn't have to change his approach. We need to change some things sometimes, because we have some injuries, but he just has to be the hitter that he is."
Drew Stubbs, who has a .323 on-base percentage in 782 at-bats out of the leadoff spot (and a .311 on-base percentage overall), could also see time there in Bourn's absence.
Worth noting
• John Lackey is scheduled to throw off a mound Thursday for the first time since injuring his right biceps April 6. Farrell said it won't be long before Lackey will see game activity, either with a Minor League rehab assignment or in a simulated environment.
• Indians designated hitter Jason Giambi hit his first home run on Wednesday, launching a pitch off Alfredo Aceves into the right-center-field bleachers. The 42-year-old Giambi, who has hit home runs for four different Major League teams, had just one homer in 89 at-bats with the Rockies last season. Giambi has started twice this season.
• With Jason Kipnis resting a sore left elbow, Cord Phelps made his first start of the season at second base Wednesday and went 0-for-4 at the plate.
• Andrew Bailey recorded his first save for the Red Sox Wednesday. He's filling in for injured closer Joel Hanrahan, who is on the 15-day disabled list with a sore right hamstring. Hanrahan's injury isn't thought to be serious and he's expected to return when eligible.
