An Amtrak train crosses Bridge Street in Richmond on Wednesday, March 6, 2013. Train speeds throughout the state are set to increase Monday, after upgrades to the track and rail bed. / GLENN RUSSELL/FREE PRESS
Crews work along the tracks in White River Junction on Wednesday, August 3, 2011. New England Central Railroad is in the process of replacing old 39-foot sections of steel rail, which were bolted together, with 1/4 mile sections of heavier rail which is welded together (pictured, foreground). The upgrade is intended to decrease travel time across the state.
ESSEX JUNCTION — Seated beside her husband in the cramped Amtrak station, Christina Collette said she was looking forward to their 9 �-hour train ride to New York City.
�I�m actually excited about it,� she said Wednesday morning. �It would be nice if it wasn�t so long, but I thought it would be kind of romantic to take the train down.�
Perhaps as early as next week, the trip from Essex Junction to points south will be not quite so long, with upgrades to Vermont�s rail system allowing for faster travel.

Christina and Ben Collette, who live in Burlington and had never before ridden Amtrak�s Vermonter line, welcomed the development as supporters of high-speed rail. So did Jax Gitzes, a veteran commuter returning to New York City having visited her sister in Burlington.
�I usually take it at least once, if not twice or three times a year,� Gitzes said.
Passenger and freight trains running along the 200 or so miles of the New England Central Railroad between Alburgh and Vernon are currently permitted to travel at 10-50 mph. On Monday, the speed limit will increase to 59 mph from Alburgh to White River Junction, and 79 mph from White River Junction to Vernon, according to the Vermont Agency of Transportation.
That should shave about a half hour off Amtrak�s Vermonter route, which runs from St. Albans to Washington, D.C., according to the office of Sen. Bernie Sanders. Additional improvements made along the tracks in Massachusetts should reduce the trip by an additional half hour, according to the senator.
Amtrak spokesman Cliff Cole said the changes would �reduce travel time,� but declined to elaborate.
�We�re going to be coming up with an adjusted schedule sometime next week,� Cole said.
The Vermonter�s ridership grew 5.5 percent last year, increasing from 77,783 travelers in FY 2011 to 82,086 in FY 2012, according to Amtrak. During that same time, ticket revenue grew 20.2 percent, from $3,961,115 to $4,761,018.
Most of the riders boarding the Vermonter in Vermont do so at the Essex Junction station, according to Village President George Tyler.
�For a lot of UVM students and St. Mike�s students, that�s their connection,� Tyler said Wednesday. �That the trains are going to be moving faster, that really helps.�
The village, he said, hopes to collaborate with Amtrak and New England Central Railroad to spruce up the local station and help it comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Essex Junction staff working pro bono and University of Vermont students working on their capstone projects have already laid some of the groundwork, he said.
�In terms of economic development, we look at the train station as a sort of underutilized asset that we would really want to improve,� he said.
The rail upgrades were made possible with $52.7 million in federal funding by way of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and $19.9 million from New England Central Railroad. The railroad�s contribution consisted of cash and the scrap value of old rail, according to Trini Brassard, assistant director at the Vermont Agency of Transportation.
�This was part of the overall push to improve the Northeast corridor, bringing folks up through D.C.,� Brassard said Wednesday.
The upgrades included heavier, continuously-welded rail and renovations to ballasts, bridges and ties. Freight trains, in addition to being able to travel faster, will also be able to carry heavier loads in each car.
Dozens of railroad crossings have also been retrofitted, Brassard said, with motion-sensing lights from the 1980s giving way to electronically-activated lights. However, �there are still a number of non-gated crossings� that demand �extra caution,� Vermont Agency of Transportation Rail Director Dan Delabruere said in a prepared statement released a week ago.
A 30 percent increase in speed �means significantly less time for drivers and pedestrians to react to an approaching train,� Delabruere said in the statement. �The public needs to stop, look and listen when approaching a crossing. It takes about a mile for a passenger train to stop. Particularly when negotiating non-gated crossings, remember that the lead time you once had is cut by nearly 1/3 (a third) so everybody needs give trains a wider berth out there.�
Delabruere did not return messages left this week seeking additional comment.

Title | Enforcing Cap-and-Trade: A Tale of Two Programs |
Author(s) | Lesley K. McAllister |
Start Page | 1 |
Abstract | This Article uses the histories of the ARP and RECLAIM to show that even when monitoring and enforcement provisions for cap-and-trade programs are designed in a similar way, the resulting enforcement systems and enforcement outcomes may be very different. Part I of the Article tells the enforcement story of the ARP. It appears to be a story of regulatory efficiency and success. Part II tells the enforcement story of RECLAIM. While not a failure, RECLAIM enforcement seems to have been full of difficulties that necessitated large amounts of administrative time and resources. This part presents the results of an empirical analysis of RECLAIM enforcement actions from 1994 through 2006. The analysis shows that RECLAIM had many more enforcement actions than the ARP, despite the fact that the ARP was a much larger cap-and-trade program in terms of the volume of pollution regulated. Similarly, the amount of monetary penalties assessed in RECLAIM for non-compliance was much larger than the amount assessed in the ARP. |

Ruffed Grouse
The ruffed grouse is a chickenlike bird with brown, rufous, and gray color morphs. Adults are streaked above and barred below. The tail has a dark bar near the tip, but females lack the dark band on central tail feathers. Both sexes have a dark ruff on the neck. There is also a crest atop the head, though it sometimes lies flat.

Ruffed Grouse
Habitat loss is a primary reason grouse numbers have declined. They require different specific habitats during different parts of their seasonal cycle. MDC is working to assist landowners to provide the habitat grouse need for food, cover, breeding, drumming, nesting, and overwintering.

Bonasa umbellus
Restoration efforts are raising the numbers of this chickenlike bird in our state. Look for brown, rufous, and gray streaks, bars, and bands. A dark ruff on the neck appears on both sexes but is used by the male in courtship displays.

Ruffed Grouse Booming
Both sexes of ruffed grouse have a dark ruff on the neck; the male uses the ruff in spring to display to females. In April, males perform distinctive courtship displays at dawn and dusk, usually standing on a fallen log and making rapid forward wingbeats, creating a low, pumping noise, with accelerating speed.

Ruffed Grouse On Nest
Female ruffed grouse are ground-nesters, usually laying about 6–8 eggs. Habitat improvements implemented to boost grouse populations are good for numerous other species of plants and animals as well.

As part of a new investigative story, Truthout has published two documents written by the former psychologist for SERE, and later CIA contract interrogator for the Bush torture program, Bruce Jessen. Jessen's notes describe an "exploitation" survival course that was "reverse-engineered" to provide a blueprint for the interrogation and detention policies of the Bush administration, which emphasized not just the ways to coercively interrogate an individual for intelligence purposes, but to "exploit" the detainee for a number of uses, including production of false confessions, recruitment of prisoners as U.S. spies, putting on show trials, and medical experimentation.

Roger Aldrich, the Al Qaeda Manual, and the Origins of Mitchell-Jessen |
By: Jeff Kaye Sunday August 16, 2009 4:00 pm |
In parts one and two of this series on the origins of the SERE torture program, we examined how unlikely it was that James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen, relying on entrepreneurial guile and chutzpah alone, convinced a passive Pentagon and CIA, eager to find some way to get terror intelligence, to buy into their "learned helplessness" interrogation paradigm.
Expanding the Investigation into SERE Torture |
By: Jeff Kaye Friday August 14, 2009 4:00 pm |
The first installment of this three-part series on the origins of the Mitchell-Jessen torture program concentrated on the insufficiency of reducing our understanding of the spread of torture during the Bush administration to the interventions of just two men. This is essentially the way the story was presented in a 12 August New York Times article by Scott Shane, leaving the question unanswered:

ESBATech's Antibody Fragment ESBA105 Enters Phase IIa in Uveitis Study
New Clinical Advisory Board Established to Provide Industry Leadership and Ophthalmology Experience
The primary objectives of this study are to assess the local tolerability and safety of topical ESBA105, as well as to evaluate the clinical activity of patients suffering from an attack of acute, unilateral anterior uveitis. With this Phase IIa study in uveitis and recently announced Phase Ib/IIa study in patients undergoing cataract surgery, the company continues to advance a pipeline of novel, antibody fragment therapeutics for local delivery in ocular diseases to ensure safe and convenient patient therapy.
In conjunction with the Phase IIa uveitis study, ESBATech has established a world-class Clinical Advisory Board dedicated to the advancement of the company's uveitis clinical development. Board members include:
Manfred Zierhut , M.D., Principal Investigator of ESBATech's Phase IIa uveitis study and Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Tuebingen inGermany -
James Rosenbaum , M.D., Professor of Ophthalmology, Head of Uveitis Clinic and Director of Inflammatory Research at the Oregon Health & Science and University Casey Eye Institute -
Annabelle A. Okada , M.D., Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at the Kyorin University School of Medicine,Tokyo, Japan -
Emmett T. Cunningham, Jr. , M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H., Adjunct Professor of Ophthalmology atStanford University ,Stanford California . Prof. Cunningham is currently at Clarus Ventures and held several senior industry positions at Eyetech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. where he led the medical strategy team, and at Pfizer, Inc., where he was responsible for clinical development of therapeutic candidates in ophthalmology -
Denis Wakefield, DSc , M.D., MBBS, FRACP, FRCPA, Professor and Associate Dean of Medicine at theUniversity of New South Wales (UNSW) -
Andrea Leonardi , M.D., Professor of Ophthalmology at Department of Neuroscience, Ophthalmology Unit and Faculty of Medicine at the University of Padua,Italy
Peter Lichtlen, M.D., Ph.D., Head of Clinical Development at ESBATech, commented, "The start of this Phase IIa trial represents a major developmental and regulatory milestone. It has been a pleasure to design this study with the continuous support of such an esteemed panel of international uveitis experts that shares our view on the potential of this compound. As our previous work has shown, topically applied ESBA105 effectively penetrates into both the anterior and posterior segment of the eye, in combination with very low systemic exposure. Due to this unique biodistribution profile and the fact that ESBA105 is a potent TNF-alpha inhibitor, the compound holds significant promise for treatment of uveitis, as well as other ocular inflammatory disorders."
Principal Investigator and member of the Clinical Advisory Board, Prof.
ESBA105 is also being studied in other therapeutic indications such as osteoarthritis (OA). Earlier this year, ESBATech initiated a Phase I/IIa clinical study to explore clinical activity of ESBA105 in osteoarthritis of the knee.
About Uveitis
Uveitis refers to an inflammation of the uvea which includes the iris, ciliary body and choroid of the eye. Topical corticosteroids are the main agents for treatment of an acute anterior uveitis. Treatment is started immediately on diagnosis to reduce damage to the eye as well as improve symptoms of pain and photophobia. Steroids carry two key side effects, including raised intraocular pressure and cataract formation during long term treatment, in addition to local effects seen with topical therapy–e.g. delayed wound healing and aggravation of infection. In more severe cases, intraocular injections of steroids or immunosuppressive therapy are also used.
About ESBATech's Antibody Fragment Platform Technology
ESBATech is the first and only company to date that has successfully screened and characterized the entire human pool (1.5 million) of naturally occurring variable immunoglobulin (VH and VL) domains to select highly stable, soluble and monomeric single-chain antibody fragment frameworks applying its proprietary technology platform IMMUNA. ESBATech's unique, scientific approach using its fully-human antibody fragment frameworks has elucidated the drug-like properties of these proprietary single-chain antibody fragments. The company is advancing a pipeline of novel antibody fragment therapeutics for topical and/or local delivery, to ensure safe and convenient patient therapy.

Owls confirm investment talks
Sheffield Wednesday have confirmed they are still in talks with "serious potential investors".
The Owls, given 28 days to settle debts of £550,000 with the taxman after being issued with a winding-up petition by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) earlier this month, turned down one takeover bid from American investment group Club 9 Sports earlier this summer.
A club spokesman said: "We are having on-going talks with serious potential investors and when there is something tangible to report we will do."
Former West Ham chairman Eggert Magnusson has been reported to have launched a rescue bid for the club, who have debts of around £26million, but it is understood the club are not in discussion with the Icelandic businessman.

UPDATE: BMW Australia comment added, see bottom of article.
BMW has revealed details of its new M Performance range, adding a new triple-turbo diesel engine and enhancements to each model's handling and technical packages.
The M Performance line-up launches with the M550d xDrive in Sedan and Touring wagon form, along with the X5 M50d and the X6 M50d - the latter also debuting in 2012 with a subtle styling makeover.
All four cars are powered by BMW's new triple-turbo common-rail diesel: a 3.0 litre six-cylinder mill that produces 280kW and 740Nm of torque - the latter coming online at 2000rpm.
The new engine represents a gain of 50kW and 110Nm over the 535d, and 55kW and 140Nm over the diesel driving the xDrive40d SUVs.
Matched with an eight-speed automatic Sports transmission and BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system, the engine gives the M550d a 0-100km/h time of 4.7 seconds for the sedan, and 4.9 seconds for the wagon.
Fuel consumption for the M550d sedan is listed at 6.3 l/100km, and the Touring wagon is only slightly short at 6.4 l/100km.
The same transmission and xDrive package shunts the X5 M50d to 100km/h in 5.4 seconds and the X6 M50d in 5.3 seconds, with the X5 listing 7.5 l/100km and the X6 listing 7.7 l/100km.
While all of the M Performance diesel models fall short of their petrol M car counterparts in the acceleration stakes, the much lower fuel consumption should prove appealing to buyers looking to strike a balance between guts on the road and pain at the bowser.
The M Performance range also brings a number of enhancements beyond the huge power boost, including M-tuned suspension, springs and dampers along with modified mounting for the body shell, engine and transmission.
On the styling front, the M550d gains 19-inch light alloy wheels, and the two X SUVs ride on 20-inch hoops. A new styling and aero package has been added to each model, drawing inspiration from the familiar petrol-powered M cars.
In the cabin, all four cars gets sports seats trimmed in black or dark grey, with a constrasting stitch and M logos everywhere. There's also an M steering wheel, paddle shifters, an Anthracite-coloured roof liner, and aluminium highlights.
Lastly, a new audio package has been developed to transmit the engine's noises into the cabin, sent through the car's speakers.
The M Performance range will hit European showrooms in April, and an Australian debut is expected later this year - but not for the M550d.
Speaking with TMR today, BMW Australia's Scott Croaker confirmed that a mid-2012 debut is on the cards for the X5 and X6 M50d models, but the M550d won't be making its way here anytime soon.
"The triple-turbo diesel in the M550d is fitted in conjunction with the xDrive unit, and the xDrive for the 5 Series isn't available for right-hand-drive cars. So the UK and Australia don't get those variants," Mr Croaker said.

Types of Sailboats and Their Uses
Beach Catamaran
These are generally 14–20 feet in length primarily used for daysailing. They are fast boats that require some agility to sail. They have shallow drafts when the dagger boards are up for beaching.
Cruising Catamaran
The larger relative of the beach catamaran, they actually share more in common with a cruising mono-hull. They have accommodation for extended cruising. They are stable platforms with shallow drafts. They are 25–50+ feet in length.
Cruising Sailboat
Generally 16–50+ feet in length, these boats are cabins for extended cruising. Boats larger than 26 feet usually have standing headroom down below. Many of the more popular models have large fleets and are raced or have fleet associations for group cruising.
These boats are generally 14–20 feet in length. They can seat up to 4 passengers. As the name implied they are intended for day use with a small cuddy cabin for storing gear. Many can accommodate a small outboard. They make a great choice for new boaters.
Motorsailers are sailboats that are powered with inboard engines capable of allowing long cruises under power or sail. They have luxury accommodations and usually 35 feet and over. As with any boat that is trying to do more than one thing adequately they are a compromise giving up sailing speed due to a smaller rig and added weight for the engine and larger gas and water tanks.
This is a hybrid of the cruising boat built to accommodate overnight cruising but trimmed with the equipment for competitive racing. They are generally 25 feet and over.
Racing Sailboats
These boats are similar to cruising boats but have more equipment and are built lighter, with Spartan accommodations. They are not intended to be a comfortable ride, just a fast one. These boats are usually 20–70+ feet in length. Just as these are related to cruising boats, there are smaller, faster cousins of sailing dinghies that are also raced.
Sailing Dinghies
Small (Under 15 feet) These boats are usually one or two person boats. These are boats that guarantee a wet ride. There are many large fleets of the more popular models. Many are competitively raced. They are a great choice for those that are new to boating.

Minor in Latin American Studies
The Latin American Studies minor recognizes the lasting importance of U.S.-Latin American relations. The overriding goal is to encourage students to learn more about Latin America by combining conceptual, area and language studies during their time at USC. The purpose of this 20-unit minor is to deepen students' knowledge of Latin America by offering courses from multiple disciplines within a context of close faculty guidance. The gateway requirement of one 4-unit course provides the student with options in both humanities and the social sciences, and the designated electives are similarly meant to allow students to blend these specialties.
For fulfillment of the requirements for the minor a student must choose four classes outside of his or her major department dedicated exclusively to the minor (which may be the same four classes). After the gateway course, these elective courses must be spread across at least two disciplines and/or departments.

"Sutton's Law" — named after bank robber Willie Sutton (he of the "money" quote) — is an actual term of art in the medical profession. It's used to teach aspiring doctors to look for the obvious when diagnosing, before they start venturing further afield into more costly treatments.
In other words, set your immediate sights on the surest payoff.
According to the wise crowd at Wikipedia, Sutton's Law also applies to other disciplines, such as debugging computer programs and management accounting. So I suppose we should now add assisted acquisition services to Willie's paradigm — in particular, those two centers in the federal government that offer a full line of contract management assistance to overworked and overextended procurement offices.
Our acquisitions expert, News Editor Matthew Weigelt, reports in this week's cover story that both the Office of Assisted Acquisition Services, located at the General Services Administration, and the Acquisition Services Directorate, housed in the National Business Center at the Interior Department, are hitting the pavement these days in an effort to show their wares and gin up new business. Mary Davie of AAS and John Nyce of AQD are visiting current clients and developing marketing campaigns to reach new ones, Matthew writes. They both consider every agency to be a potential customer (Page 24).
What's driving this new activity and competition for business? Well, Doc, look no further than the $787 billion pile of stimulus money standing right in front of you, from which federal agencies up and down the line are expected to both allocate and obligate with lightning speed. The working assumption is that agency procurement officials don't have the manpower, expertise or bandwidth to work through all those contracts in so short a time frame. The only alternative to doing it themselves is to outsource the service to either AAS or AQD.
But the unstated part of Sutton's Law is at work here, too. That's the part that says be careful where you tread because someone is probably watching you. In this case, the Obama administration has promised to impose extraordinary oversight and transparency to the stimulus spending process. Any slip-ups are bound to be exposed and magnified in this new operating theater — at no small risk to AAS and AQD, which have been battling back from negative reviews they each received just a couple of years ago.
So the stakes remain high for everyone involved — not least among them is the beleaguered U.S. economy, the ultimate target of this monumental fiscal prescription. Sutton's Law doesn't help us there. Though he spent a lot of time in jail, Willie never considered the idea that he might be caught in the act.

Over 1,000,000 Jews in New York and God Weeps!
This shortsighted refusal to go up out of the exile is the primal sin which blocked the path to final redemption already during the Second Temple period. And the sin of Babylonian Jewry is repeating itself today, as exile Jewry sit tranquilly in a foreign land — Heaven help us — in a blind lack of faith and vision.
It was this that the spiritual giant R. Yehudah HaLevi intended in his great philosophical work the "Kuzari" (II:24, in which the Jewish philosopher responds to the non-Jewish king of Kuzar as follows): "You have shamed me, O King. This sin [the Jews' refusal to return to Eretz Yisrael] is what has prevented us from completing what God ordained as the mission of the Second Temple. As it says (Zechariah 2:14), "Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; [for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in your midst, says the Lord]." The Divine plan was ready to unfold as in the First Temple, had everyone agreed to return willingly. Instead, some returned while the majority, including their great leaders, remained in Babylonia, preferring exile and servitude — just so they not be separated from their homes and business interests."
Cyrus, king of Persia, had said (II Chron. 36:23), "All the kingdoms of the earth has the Lord, God of heaven, given me; and He has charged me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all His people – the Lord his God be with him – let him go up."
Had the whole nation gone up en masse when God brought things about that Cyrus gave permission, God would not have destroyed the Temple. Rather, the Divine Presence would have rested there forever, and God would have brought the Messiah, by virtue of their faith. Yet Israel, who were in Babylonia, settled down there and did not wish to return, and only a minority returned to Eretz Yisrael, as it says (Ezra 2:64): "The whole congregation together was 42,360." This is the pitiful sum that returned to Eretz Yisrael, when the vast majority of Israel chose to settle down in the depravity of exile and to scorn the Desirable Land. Later, Cyrus decreed that whoever had not yet gone up would remain behind.
We are descended from people who turned their backs on Eretz Yisrael and prefer the defilement of the exile for the sake of tranquil lives. Our generation, as well, has exchanged the glory of the Desirable Land for the worship of gluttony and drunkenness in the exile, and there is no one to take up the insult to Eretz Yisrael. Quite the contrary, the prominent people of the generation express their approval of exile and abomination. As the brilliant Rabbi Ya'akov Emden wrote in the introduction to his Siddur Bet Ya'akov (Sulam Bet El, letter 6):
"Not one in a thousand is aroused to take hold of it and settle there; only one per country and two per generation. No one pays it any heed or seeks to love it. No one seeks to know its welfare or looks forward to seeing it. We imagine that since we live in peace outside the Land, we have already found another Eretz Yisrael and Jerusalem like the first. This is the reason that Israel, dwelling in peace and great honor in Spain, and other countries during the exile, were beset by so much misfortune… and then banished from Spain until no remnant of Israel remained there."
These words were written by Rabbi Ya'akov Emden in cursed Germany several hundred years ago. Who listened? Who took his words to heart? Rabbi Emden continues, answering those hypocrites who raise empty claims regarding risks and hardships involved in settling in Eretz Yisrael:
"Risks posed by desert and sea crossings surely do not suffice to exempt one from such a great mitzvah… Consider your path through valley and glen. Upon every mountain and hill, rich people and poor run swift as steeds to acquire possessions… What great danger we put ourselves in each day! For a crust of bread you take long strides that dim the luster of your eyesight and shorten your life, yet when it comes to the glory of your Maker and the immortality of your soul, you say, "A lion blocks my way!" (Prov. 26:13). How long, sluggard, will you lie on the bed of laziness? Until the foundations of the earth are laid bare! Why not acquire means of fleeing for your life while you still have the power to do it?"

Exile is of the soul not of demographics. More than half of Israel's citizens are in exile in Israel because the soul isn't connected. Get it right.
Meir Kahane who I happened to see and hear on a couple of occasions was a Jewish version of Adolph Hitler, pushing the same kind of racist chauvinism as There Fuehrer except at a different target. Unfortunately, although Kahane is no longer around to preach his message of hate, the evil seeds he spread have taken root both in Israel and the diaspora. Yzvi Fishman, clearly and proudly one of them.
God is not displeased that Jews are in NYC–but rather that most Jews in NYC are rejecting him in favor of Marxism, other evils and false Gods!
That was a gross mischaracterization–Rabbi Kahane was not in any way the Jewish version of Adolph Hitler!
He was right in wanting most Arabs gone from Israel–if this had been done–much innocent Jewish blood would not have been needlessly spilled!
Hitler's desire was to make Germany Judenrein which is why, before the war, he supported the Haavara Agreement between the Zionist leadership in Palestine which allowed German Jews to emigrate to Palestine, provided they spent their money buying German goods which they were able to sell there after both they and the goods arrrived. As you acknowledge, that was Kahane's position towards Arabs who were born in Palestine. What's the difference?
That should have read "between the Zionist leadership in Palestine and the Nazi regime (administered by A. Eichmann)"

Abstract | The study of the dynamic interactome of cellular ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles has been hampered by severe methodological limitations. In particular, the affinity purification of intact RNP complexes from cell lysates suffers from RNA degradation, loss of interacting macromolecules and poor overall yields. Here we describe a rapid affinity-purification method for efficient isolation of the subcomplexes that dynamically organize different RNP biogenesis pathways in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Our method overcomes many of the previous limitations to produce large RNP interactomes with almost no contamination. |

The Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Awards to be announced Sunday
Nov 2, 2012, 12:30 PM EDT
I'm not always the biggest fan of sponsored awards announced in a made-for-TV presentation, but in a world where people still think Gold Gloves matter, I'm all for this:
From great diving catches in the outfield to acrobatic plays in the infield, the first-ever Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Awards will be announced exclusively on MLB Network this Sunday, November 4 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Hosted by MLB Network's Ahmed Fareed and Eric Byrnes, the Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Awards will name the best defensive player on each MLB club, while also crowning the best defensive player in each league and naming the best defensive team in all of baseball. The award winners were determined by the detailed statistical analysis of MLB Network's "shredder system" used by Clubhouse Confidential, plus input from MLB Network analysts.
Looking forward to Brendan Ryan getting his due.
- rockthered1286 - Nov 2, 2012 at 12:59 PM
The only part of these gems that's better than the actual play itself? The priceless faces caught in freeze frame.
- wshifflette - Nov 2, 2012 at 1:21 PM
Why are you obsessed with Brenden Ryan? His season was statistically worse than JJ Hardy. He is worse than Hardy in every SS category.
- paperlions - Nov 2, 2012 at 3:52 PM
Feel free to provide these "categories"….if you use fielding % or number of errors, you need to find other categories….you know…things that actually mean something.
- wshifflette - Nov 3, 2012 at 11:22 AM
There isn't a single category that Ryan leads over Hardy. NOT A SINGLE ONE.
Def. Games as SS
Putouts as SS
Assists as SS
Total Zone Runs as SS
Range Factor/9Inn as SS
Range Factor/Game as SS
Fielding % as SS
- paperlions - Nov 3, 2012 at 12:09 PM
Those "categories" are all fairly useless, which is why people (including every team) developed new and better metrics to evaluate defense.
For the two metrics that are based on play-by-play video review, which actually evaluates where balls were hit and how fielders performed on such plays compared to other players of the positions, Ryan leads quite easily.
He had 27 defensive runs saved to only 18 for Hardy, while Hardy played nearly 300 more innings (in other words, he saved 50% more runs than Hardy on defense despite playing only 80% as much time there. His UZR150 was also far superior: 17.1 to 10.1.

Wow, congratulations!

Was it a spur of the moment deal, or planned? Did your parents know? I know you are close to them. We need MORE DETAILS!!

POLICE tried to intercept two vehicles after thieves stole an ATM from a Forest Glen food shop this morning.
Police said about 3am, a silver 4WD reversed into a Mons Rd store and the occupants of the car pulled the ATM from the store and put it in the back of the vehicle.
The 4WD and a white station wagon then left the scene, and were sighted by police several times in the area.
Police attempted to intercept the vehicles, but had no success.
The 4WD was last seen on the D'Aguilar Hwy heading towards Woodford.
Police investigations into the incident are continuing.

I didn't get a chance to listen to it either.. so now I missed both references.
I don't doubt it might have sounded like that in the presser, I'll take your word for it. I just hope it's not true. I don't see the benefit when compared to the risk, IMO..
I mean, a couple times is fine.. to me, more than 5 is getting carried away...
The bare bones of it was they talked about situations where you get Cam out on the edge in pass run options. With Stewart or D-Will and Steve Smith on the team this could be absolutely lethal.
He said it wouldn't be him running up the middle like he did in college except on 3rd and short situations and goal line situations.

HD3870 X2 available at ?250
Plain HD3870 sells for €100
ATI's dual-headed HD3870 X2 prices are dropping, and at €250 it's starting to look like a great deal, especially considering the pricing of upcoming 48xx series cards.
The cheapest HD 3870 X2 is currently listed at €229, but it's unavailable at this price. Most retailers are selling the HD3870 X2 at just over €250, but we're expecting the price to drop very soon, following the HD48xx series launch.
You can get a plain HD3870 for €102 or an 8800GT for just €109, and if this is still too much for you, you can go for an HD3850 or 8800GS for just €70.
These are truly ridiculous prices and they will drop even further following the GTX 2xx/HD48xx series launch and the looming price war. Just try to remember what a hundred euro would have gotten you 12 to 18 months ago.

- Total Moisture Review by Njsun81 (Posted on 10/28/14)
Quality This was my first time purchasing and all I have to say is wow. I have dry skin especially my elbows and arms this is the best body wash/moisturizer. This is not for the face but a body wash with salt. It feels like your in a spa.
- Love this product! Review by Shelley (Posted on 9/1/14)
Quality I was introduced to this unusual product in the Ahava shop at the Dead Sea in Israel and have been purchasing it in the US since then. I love that it helps with the tiny bumps on my arms and wish I could just walk around in it all day.
- improving lichen planus chronicus - skin problem Review by Noah (Posted on 8/30/13)
Quality I have a condition called lichen planus chronicus. Its red spots on the skin. The liquid salt is slowly getting rid of it. I use a little bit every day in the shower. I leave it on for about 5 minutes - it stings a little. I am sure this is what is helping as I have not used anything else. I even stopped my light treatments. thanks so much
- Wonderful product! Review by AB (Posted on 4/19/13)
Quality This really feels great and has helped with dry skin and acne. I couldn't do without this!
- LOVE IT Review by MELISSA (Posted on 2/12/13)
Quality The best treatment for acne and eczema. For maximum results (body only) keep longer before rinsing (overnight). You will see amazing results.
- Less itching this winter Review by Doodlebug (Posted on 1/29/13)
Quality I just started using this a couple of weeks ago and love it. My skin doesn't feel as dry as it usual does in the winter when I'm just using exfoliator and moisturizer. I'm trying to talk my husband into trying it because he gets eczema in the winter. Highly recommend it.
- Amazing! Review by Lavette (Posted on 7/30/12)
Quality This product is amazing. The liquid sea salt feels like a living gel. It has an electrical zing to it. It gently exfoliates your skin. It is a smooth gel that exfoliates. It left my skin hydrated and energized. This truly makes your skin glow. It has a clean type of spa fragrance to it. Your skin will have a healthy, hydrated, energized glow to it. Note: It has been a month since I first tried this product. I have used it once a week. I cannot stop looking at my skin. It feels so smooth. This is liquid gold. This needs to come in a larger size. You have to try this product. Make sure that you moisturize with any one of the AHAVA body lotions. My skin has truly been transformed.
- One of my favorite body care products! Review by Lynn (Posted on 7/25/12)
Quality Liquid Dead Sea Salt is one of my favorite body care products. I alternate between using this and Fresh's brown sugar scrub, and my skin feels very soft and clean. While it can get a little messy (what I do is to use the product sparingly on different parts of my body), it's worth it.
- Use after swimming Review by Sue (Posted on 6/30/12)
Quality After using sunscreen and going into the pool, my skin needs help. I use the liquid salt or bar of salt, and both are great and make my skin feel natural again. Combine this with the dry oil and my skin looks super moisturized!
- Miracle product Review by iG (Posted on 6/26/12)
Quality The best treatment for acne and eczema. For maximum results (body only) keep longer before rinsing (overnight). You will see amazing results.
- Very Good!!! Review by Nobuko (Posted on 7/3/11)
Quality When you use it on your body, it feels nothing. However,
you could tell the difference afterward. The skin gets
softer and smoother and the effects continue. - Just Ok Review by Bubbletoes (Posted on 6/13/11)
Quality I bought this product at Ulta. I was very excited about it because it seemed like a more user- friendly, practical way to use the Dead Sea salts. I typically buy Dead Sea salt in bulk for baths to treat my eczema and it works great. So I thought that this liquid form would be nice to have for use in the shower. It is easy to use, makes my skin tingle/burn in certain spots. All in all, I have not yet seen any difference w/ using the product on my skin. I have been using it over a week now. I am not sure yet if I would spend the $22 to buy another tube of it.
- LOVE IT!!! Review by MILFNCOOKIES (Posted on 4/17/11)
Quality I ABSOULTELY LOVE THIS STUFF!!! I FOUND IT AT ULTA AND AFTER THE FIRST USE, I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT! IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A "COATING" THAT FALSELY MAKES YOUR SKIN FEEL MOIST AND SUPPLE.. YOU CAN ACTUALLY TELL THAT YOUR SKIN HAS SOAKED IN IT'S GOODNESS! THE ONLY DOWNSIDE IS IT'S KINDA MESSY AND DOESN'T SMELL ALL THAT GREAT, BUT IF YOU'RE LIKE ME.. THE SMELL OF YOUR BODYWASH WILL COMPENSATE :)

13. Rams
14. Chiefs
These are arguable, either in the definte or in the even. Not better than Schaub, though.
1. Niners -- Alex Smith has done well this year but I still don't like him much.
2. Eagles -- I don't think Reid would but I prefer Schaub to Vick or VY.
And that's it.
So about 16. Only 4 teams have a QB who's clearly better than Schaub... as far as I'm concerned. Then you have about 11 teams whose QBs are in the same ballpark and it becomes a beauty contest on those about who you like better and how you judge.
