LOGAN, W. Va., Wednesday—The drive from Lancaster to York, Pa., yesterday afternoon was lovely and through rich farming country. Mr. Laucks had asked us to stay and, since that was impossible, we drove up to his place and I had an opportunity to walk around the grounds. From the terrace there is a most beautiful view of the Susquehanna River. Mr. William Adams Delano, who built the house, has given it the atmosphere of intimacy, which to me is the most charming thing about a French house. As you come in, the wall around the courtyard seems to shut out the outer world. One stout and ageing scottie accompanied his master around and two young and vociferous scotties were chained up near the stable. They wriggled and jumped in their efforts to get free and follow us and, since I can never resist Scotties, I had to go and pat them.
We had a glimpse of a Japanese garden, very charmingly laid out on a hillside with a tiny waterfall dropping into a succession of pools. Off in the distance we had a glimpse of two thousand white turkeys covering a hillside, but I did not have time to see the dairy where Mr. Laucks has some very remarkable stock.
It must be most interesting to have a place of this kind which gives an opportunity for real business management and yet has great beauty. Mr. Laucks kept telling me how much he wanted the President to come to see it. I know the President would enjoy it, but I fear this visit will have to wait until Washington days are over.
In York we passed through some interesting old streets. I was much interested in a bit of history which I probably should have known, namely, that York was the seat of the first meeting of the Continental Congress and that the first national Thanksgiving Day was proclaimed here by George Washington after the Battle of Saratoga. No one seemed to know exactly what date this was. Perhaps that year had some of the difficulties that we are having this year.
Once at the hotel we had a few minutes to unpack. Then came a press conference consisting largely of high school students and a short visit from the local representative of the NYA, who brought me some interesting pictures of their projects.
The sewing project makes costumes for various school activities and for poor children, a toy project reconditions toys of every kind and has reached thousands of children every Christmas. These are projects carried on by NYA and WPA all over the country, so there was no real loss in not having time to go out to visit them.
After the lecture we drove into Harrisburg. We are now on the train for Bluefield, W.Va., from where we drive 96 miles to Logan, W. Va.

Western Mediterrean cruise September 17-24
I have taken 6 cruises and many land vacations. I had look forward to Barcelona but as my planner stated, I should have researched further. Had researched further, I would be on the October 8th cruise with my friend. To kick it up a notch, we could have left on Thursday and enjoyed a full day in Barcelona. But what's done is done. The travel to the port of pleasant, enjoying Barcelona as we rode along. Embarkation was easy, the stateroom was familiar as I had cruised on Liberty of the Seas in 2009. I loved the friendliness of my stateroom attendant. The ship info was presented to us in many languages, making it convenient for all. The excursions were reasonable and the tour guides professional. I loved the service from the staff, efficient and gracious. The entertainment was superb with an abundance of talented performers. The disembarkation was on time and simple. Thank you for a wonderful trip. I am very satisfield with Royal Caribbean and look forward to returning to More
the Western Mediterrean next year and experiencing the next level (seeing Barcelona.) Thank you. Less

I had a inside cabin. Cabins are not very important as I book a cabin by myself and neve spend much time in them. My cabin was always clean and my stateroom attendant was very friendly. I was in cabin 7129 which was ideal as I was close to the elevator.

Review on The Fox Inn
Nestling in an archetypal Cotswold hamlet within easy reach of Moreton in Marsh and Stow on the Wold, this picture-pretty, ivy-clothed inn is a marvellously animated, rambling place with a cracking reputation for hospitality, honest food and splendid drinking.
At the heart of the pub is its central bar with flagstone floors, hop-garlanded beams, bare wooden tables and emblematic fox heads. Dotted all around are several other stone-walled rooms, eating areas and alcoves done out in traditional style; there's also a lovely walled garden for al fresco meals.
The kitchen works to a short, daily menu that plunders the gastro pub repertoire for the likes of honey-roast duck salad with raspberry vinaigrette, salmon and leek fishcakes with hollandaise and fillet of pork with sage mash and Dijon mustard sauce. Desserts are in similar vein, ranging from poached pears with chocolate sauce to autumn berry parfait. Real ales are kept in good order and the admirable wine list has a decent selection by the glass.
The Fox Inn is also featured in: Michelin Guide, Good Food Guide, AA Guide

18-year-old hurt in Hutchinson crossing street
An 18-year-old Hutchinson woman has been taken by air ambulance to a Wichita hospital after a car hit her Tuesday morning while she was walking across a street, police said.
She was being treated at Wesley Medical Center for hip injuries, Hutchinson police Sgt. Brian Hirt said in an e-mail.
The accident occurred at 7:43 a.m. while the 18-year-old was crossing in the 500 block of East 11th Avenue, Hirt said.
A 17-year-old whose vehicle struck the 18-year-old had passed another vehicle that stopped for the pedestrian, Hirt said.
"Speed, texting, alcohol or drugs are not believed to have been a factor in the collision," his e-mail said.

The cartouche reads THE BARNES FOUNDATION MCMXXIII. "On the lintel are seated female figures of ceramic tile, modeled after figures made by the Senufo peoples of the Ivory Coast and Mali" (

Texas AgriLife Extension Service,
Pesticides are a large, diverse group of chemicals that include insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, insect repellents, animal repellents, mice control products, etc. All of these are chemicals that will kill or inhibit some type of pest, whether it's an insect, weed, disease, or animal.
To protect yourself, your family and the environment, read the label—it's not only the law, it's for your personal safety also! The danger of any product is evaluated not only by its toxicity, but also by the degree of your exposure to the product. As Paracelsus, the "father" of modern toxicology, put it, "The dose makes the poison."
Pesticide labels are federal documents, and it is illegal to use pesticides in a manner not specified on the product label. You must not only read the pesticide label before mixing, applying, and storing a pesticide, you should read the label before purchasing the pesticide. Labels specify what the pesticide may be used on, how to mix and apply it, and how to store the container.
Always make sure all your intended uses of the material are on the label. Even if you are trying to control the same pest, don't assume pesticides used on trees or lawns can also be used on vegetables and fruits. Follow the rate given on the label for the type of plant the pesticide is being applied to. Never exceed the rate on the pesticide label!
Do you know how many days you must wait after spraying a vegetable before you can harvest the crop? For example, for a specific insecticide, the "days-to-harvest" period can be 1 day for a particular vegetable and 14 days for another type vegetable. Do you know how long to wait before making a follow-up application? Do you know if the material is toxic to bees or fish? Check the label for this important information to avoid potential problems.
It is also very important to avoid application or movement of a pesticide onto non-target areas. For example, use precautions to keep pesticides away from ponds, streams, bayous and other waterways. When applying "weed & feed" fertilizers and other types of granular pesticides to lawn and landscape areas, take care to avoid placement on non-target areas such as driveways, sidewalks, etc.
Finally, be sure to protect yourself from exposure while mixing or applying pesticides. Wear unlined chemical resistant rubber or neoprene gloves. Cover exposed skin. Wash thoroughly when you're done and store both the pesticides and application equipment properly.

Use Pesticides Safely During Spring Growing Season
by Dr. William M. Johnson
Galveston County Extension Agent - HorticultureNow that the spring growing season is getting underway, problems may start appearing. There are a variety of ways to manage insects, weeds, diseases, and other problems, both chemically and non-chemically. Throughout the 2009 growing season, keep reminding yourself to consider all available options for managing pests and if pesticides are needed, use extreme caution when using them.
Herbicides or "weed killers" in liquid form must never be applied when windy conditions exist as the spray can drift onto you or your neighbors. Shown above are the newest leaves on a tomato plant exhibiting symptoms of herbicide damage from spray drift. The photo was taken last week in a local home garden.

The bilge under the engine I would paint using a barrier coat paint, like Interprotect 2000E.. It will help protect the fiberglass from osmosis from the bilge to the exterior. It should be just fine on the fiberglass, given that the fiberglass isn't bothered by the temperature, it shouldn't be either. You could probably use it on the plywood, MDF and underside of the cockpit footwell too, but if you do that, I'd go with the white, rather than the gray.
IMHO, it shouldn't get hot enough to damage the paint, given that it isn't damaging the fiberglass, wood or MDF. You might want to call Interlux and see what they say about using it for this particular project.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Connecticut vs. Syracuse, 03/08/2012 12:00 Point Spread: -6½/-110 Syracuse As last year's NCAAB handicapping champion, I took it up a notch this season and made you a ton of money again. RIGHT NOW I HAVE WON 9 STRAIGHT COLLEGE BASKETBALL RELEASES. Over recent weeks, I have won my BIG 10 GoM, NCAAB GoM, SEC GoM, IVY GoM, MISSOURI VALLEY GAME OF THE YEAR, 100 STAR GAME OF THE YEAR, and yesterday my CONFERENCE USA GAME OF THE YEAR. Today I have my BIG 10 GAME OF THE YEAR. When it comes to Big Games, I am UNSTOPPABLE. Get today's big winner by the proven BIG GAME HUNTER and get paid. Today's FREE WINNER is Syracuse over Connecticut. For starters, Madison Square Garden is Syracuse's second home. You are going to see an ocean of orange in the stands. They have beaten UConn both meetings this season, splitting the games against the number. Connecticut has come alive of late, however, the team depends on sophomore's Napier and Lamb. The Huskies have played 5 games since their loss to the Orange back on February 25th. They have played two games just in the last two days, including a tiresome OT game last night against West Virginia. Syracuse is fresh, only having to play one game in that span, which was a 58-49 victory over Louisville on Saturday. The Orange have won 10 in a row SU. The odds makers were inflating their numbers because they are a fan favorite. My staff and I know this number is short here. Joseph, Waiters, Triche, Fair, and Jardine are a complete, experienced, and unselfish unit. Throw in the mix a 100% healthy Fab Melo in the middle and this team is unstoppable. They virtually are assured a #1 seed in the Big Dance, but a win here will basically guarantee it. Take Syracuse. Thank you. To see more of Joseph D'Amico's plays click here.

Kircher, Philipp and Sandroni, Alvaro and Ludwig, Sandra (November 2009): Fairness: A Critique to the Utilitarian Approach. SFB/TR 15 Discussion Paper No. 288 |
289kB |
We address a basic diffculty with incorporating fairness into standard utilitarian choice theories. Standard utilitarian theories evaluate lotteries according to the (weighted) utility over ?nal outcomes and assume in particular that a lottery is never preferred over getting the most preferred underlying outcome with ertainty. While nearly universally adopted in economics (including behavioral economics) and appealing for choices among consumption goods, this approach is problematic when choices directly affect the payoffs of other individuals. A difficulty is that randomization may in itself be valued as a desirable procedure for allocating scarce resources. We highlight this in two simple choice settings. Individuals can choose between three options: to get more money; to get less money and someo ther good; to flip a coin between these two alternatives. When the good is a regular consumption good like a coffeemug, hardly any of our subjects randomize. When the good is a social good that yields payoffs directly to some other individual,nearly a third of our subjects choose to randomize. Our results indicate that fairness concerns are conducive to behavioral anomalies that the standard utilitarian model cannot accommodate.

Mayhem # 1675349
About MeHello and thanks for stopping by to view my portfolio. I sure hope you enjoy what you see. As you will see, I'm not really interested in doing the standard "Girl against wall" type shoot. I look for something that's more challenging and interesting to not only me, but to the model I'm working with as well.
I enjoy working with models with all experience levels. Each model brings something new to each shoot, and I just love that! I like to provide a no-pressure, relaxed shooting atmosphere with lots of laughter. I like to have fun while we are shooting. I mean why not, right? I guess you could describe me as a very creative person, and someone that likes to experiment with different shots and lighting, and try to stay away from the standard shots, unless that's what's called for. Some shoots are more complex than others. On those occasions a Makeup Artist and Hairstylist would be needed. I work closely with a couple of professional MUA/Hairstylist, which in turn can help get us that photo ready look. I'm always open to ideas and suggestions from both the models I'm shooting, and other photographers that I'm working with. I'll be the first one to admit, some of my favorite photos have come from an idea or a suggestion from the model or one of my assistants. Have an idea for a shoot, I'd love to hear about it. Let's get creative! Friends |

Eliminating Enclosure Condensation
Thu, 09/25/2008 - 11:09am
OMEGA's new electronic hygrotherm senses the ambient temperature and relative humidity in an enclosure with electrical/electronic components and turns on a heater (or alternatively, a fan) at either set point, helping to prevent the formation of condensation in the enclosure. An LED integrated in the active controller adjustment knob lights up when the connected device is in operation. While the product weighs approximately 0.20 kg (7.1 oz.), it is equipped for 35-mm DIN rail mounting and complies with CE standards.

Tutorial: Getting the Most out of Textures
Admit it: sometimes you forget about textures. Effects, overlays, and touch up features have your attention 24/7. Basic edits and frames are there when you need them. But do you regularly go to the Textures tab and exult in the glory that is full-photo transformation? Well, Textures just brought its A game to earn your love. We've got some texture tools to tell you about.
In this tutorial, we're going to show you how to make everyone drool over your profile pic with our electrifying, light-tastic photo textures.
1. Crop your image
Open your photo in the Editor, click on the Basic Edits tab and then click Crop. Choose "Square" for your profile picture. Drag the resize corners and move the square to set the area of the image you want to keep. Profile photos can be as big as you want, because most sites will automatically resize your profile pic smaller.
2. Open the Textures tab
Click on the Textures tab and choose a set of textures you like. When you open any set, you'll see there are now two buttons below your texture images: "Effect" and "Move." When "Effect" is selected, controls for changing the appearance of your texture appear below. When "Move" is selected, controls for changing the position and size of your texture appear below.
3. Size and move textures
First, let's resize the texture we've selected. Click the "Move" button and you'll see a white outline around your image which lets you know you can move the texture. Click on the texture and drag to move it.
Use the "Size" slider to increase the size of the texture. This gives you more room to move the texture and control its position on your image. You can also try flipping and rotating the texture too.
Note: You need to increase the size before you can move Metal, Smudge, and Papyrus textures.
4. Erase areas you don't want
It's lookin' good, but a texture over your face is so 1983 — you need to erase! Go back to the effect mode by clicking the "Effect" button and open the paint palette (if it isn't already open) by clicking the paintbrush button. Be sure the "Original" setting is selected in the paint palette. Click and drag to erase the texture where you don't want it to appear.
Tip: If you have perfectionist issues like some of us (ahem!) you might want to try a smaller brush size or change the brush hardness to clean up those pesky edges. Don't forget you can zoom in.
Extra Tip: If you're a bit messy in your erasing, click on the "Undo" button in the toolbar above your image or click on the "Effect" button in the paint palette and start painting back the texture where you want it.
5. Play more using the same erasures
Did you know that when you erase, PicMonkey remembers where you've erased? Really, it's true — it's like a mask! Say you decide you want to move that texture around just a bit more, make it bigger or even try another image in that texture set; you can easily do that without having to erase again.
6. Adjust saturation
Oh, but there's more! To give you even more flexibility, you can now increase or decrease the saturation of your texture using the "Saturation" slider under the "Effect" button.
7. Layer on more textures
Have fun layering textures on top of each other. Don't be shy about experimenting. Play with fading, erasing, and if you really want to dive in, change your blend mode.
Tip: Many textures like Space and Edifice offer a great way to change the background behind you. Apply your texture and erase the texture over your face. Then change the blend mode to "Normal" and set the fade to 0.
8. Save and update your profile pic
Voila! Welcome to Radville. Population: you.

As you read "The Top 20 Reasons U.S. 12 Is Special" below, you'll quickly understand why travel-tourism - including local residents' own recreational pursuits - remains the single growing U.S. 12 corridor industry from Lewiston to Lolo Pass. You will also quickly realize why turning U.S. 12 into a mega-load industrial truck route would not only be totally incompatible with the corridor but, for both people and place, a tragedy. No politician, port manager, transportation department director, nor Big Oil executive who cares about the rural people of Highway 12 would instigate such a tragedy. Since they apparently don't care, we the people must stand up for ourselves and say NO.
Top 20 Reasons U.S. 12 Is Special
Does Idaho State Government, the Port of Lewiston, and the Idaho Congressional Delegation truly want to see U.S.12 in Idaho become an industrial truck route for gargantuan loads wider than the roadbed and weighing more than half a million pounds?
Are they willing to obligate taxpayers to long-term road repairs that will amount to taxpayers' subsidizing giant international corporations once those corporations' gargantuan shipments have caused road damage on U.S.12 due to extraordinarily over-legal axle weights?
Are they willing to take the cultural, environmental, and economic risks associated with that change in the use of the U.S. 12 scenic byway?

Are "Best Practices" Dragging Your Organization Down?
Are "Best Practices" Dragging Your Organization Down?
Written By:
Khudsiya Quadri
August 27 2010
When APICS invited me to be part of next October's
international conference on best practices
for global supply chain and operations management, I started exploring ideas revolving around best practices, including this deceptively simple question:
a best practice, anyway?
Many organizations fail to understand the true meaning of "best practice," erroneously treating this term as synonymous with "staying ahead of the competition."
In fact, these organizations are simply following standard practices. After all, what organization is not aiming for increased competitiveness?
To make true industry leadership possible, organizations need to continually evolve, and that includes evolving their so-called best practices: standing still does not make an organization the best at doing whatever it is doing (it takes only one innovator to leave you in the dust).
The miserable truth is that a whole industry exists around the notion of process improvement, and this industry has been oversaturated with the use of "best practice" as a pure buzzword. My point: If you are guilty of "best practice" behavior and are not trying to enhance your processes, you are already behind the eight ball.
So, What Is a Best Practice?
Best practices are practices that others have already tried and implemented in order to enhance processes or to eliminate redundant/ineffective process tasks. According to
APICS' Operations Management Body of Knowledge (OMBOK) framework definition
, best practices are "techniques, methods, processes, activities, or other actions in conducting business that are most effective at delivering a particular outcome."
This is in opposition to an innovative practice, which is a practice that has not been tried or proven by other organizations, and that aims to improve existing processes.
Both best practices and innovative, largely unproven practices need to be present in order to drive organizational evolution.
How Do We Get to a Truly Best-practice Level? The Great One Knows.
Former hockey star Wayne Gretzky famously innovated by "going where the puck will be." Business translation: a best practice may not in fact be a best practice if it's used indiscriminately. The danger of adhering to best-practice orthodoxy is that it may limit organizational stimulation and stifle improvement.
Gretzky's point was that stardom consists of aiming toward the spot from which the
"game-changer," or best practice, will emerge. (See also: the
Rogers Adoption curve

Vote no for Con-Con long story short the state wants to tax your pension.
Printable View
Vote no for Con-Con long story short the state wants to tax your pension.
Excuse my utter ignorance, but what on earth does the State Constitution have to do with pensions?
What does it have to do with Pensions?
If the vote to call for Con Con is successful it will give the opportunity to rewrite the laws of Illinois. With that the Article 4 section (our pension laws) can be disimated. They could take away the defined benefits wording and insert defined Contributions like a 401K. YES, just like the IML is pushing. That would be a disaster for FF all over the state. Your pension benefit would be based on how well your investments do over your career. I myself like the guarantee of 30/50= 75% of my salary.
I have not heard one good reason to call for a Con Con.
All Firefighters and Police Officers need to vote NO for Con Con
I'm not really sure what the comment about side jobs was about but: I'm all for protecting my benefits in the downstate Article 4 pension fund as I'm sure every firefighter in the state outside of Chicago is concerned about.
If the Con Con is approved it virtually opens everything up including our pension plan. The article 4 plan could be eliminated and replaced with a defined contribution plan ie 401k.
Police, Fire and Teachers should all be voting NO
There hasn't been a constitutional convention in this state since 1970.
The state constitution could use some upgrading.
Everyone has their reasons for opposing that. Everyone has their self-interests.
But, the only way we are going to clean up politics in this state is to start there by giving state legislators the right to throw out the governor or anyone for that matter.
I saw the notices on the pension issues and it made me wonder if it wasn't a scare tactic since the Democrats want to stay in power and they know if this issue gets a fair look, it could change the way that they do politics. Historically, the unions are behind Democrat candidates, so...
Is it much ado about nothing or is it legit?
Can someone steer me to the definitive article on it?
Hi, Art, haven't seen you for a while.
Sure the Democrats want to stay in power, but who wants another one like Blago? The problem in Illinois isn't with the constitution, it's with the politicians. The governor doesn't seem to care about the constitution, he tries to do what he wants regardless of what it says.
We just need a new governor that can get along with the legislators.
El Presidente:
Yeah; I have been somewhere else.
Anyway; I am for an express lane for corrupt politicians or at least the ones merely collecting a pay check and getting them out of state government.
However that is accomplished, count me in.
I am told that it would take a change to the constitution.
If they really want to fire people up, tell them that they are going to take their guns.
That would end it right there.
Hey Art, pension issues aside, there are 100 million reasons not to conevene a CON CON. That is what it will cost to throw that shindig. Add the shenanigans that will occur while electing delegates and it wont really change what is fundamentally wrong with Illinois politics. The constitution can be amended without opening Pandora's Box. It is true the last time it convened was 1970 but that is a mere pittance when compared to the U.S. Constitution.
Not defending Blago, but who wants another Governor like George Ryan ? In this state, dems and republicans are like comparing apples to apples.
It would probably cost alot less than that if the contract didn't go to one of Hot Rod's buddies. Got to pay the other "consultants".
Anyway; if it was so easy to amend the current constitution, one would have to wonder why it hasn't been done, wouldn't one?
Same deal with your pension language. Couldn't that be changed at any given time, as well?
In my mind, no pension should be open for the governor or anyone else to sweep. That money should be untouchable, except for payouts to retirements as it was intended.
Hey; did I tell you that I'm running for my county board?
Edgar was a good governor.
Well, the guy that I had pegged as the next governor decided to run for the 18th Congressional District seat.
Aaron Schock would make a great governor.
Even if he's only 24 years old. President of the Peoria School Board at 19.
State legislator at 21.
Now, he will be a Congressman at 24.
He definitely has it going on.
So adjusting the state constitution is a Good Thing???
No Way, First off the monetary hardship alone would be a reason not to vote, for a state that is supposedly broke who is going to pay?? You, me and our $$$ base for our budgets. Thats all we need more $$ coming out of our pockets to possibly fatten the pockets of the politicians and their backers.
To hear that a recall is the bright light in all of this is CRAP!!! Just vote the bums out. A recall wouldn't even affect BLAGO anyway since he'll won't get re-elected anyway and Emil Jones is retiring. Two of the biggest lumps downstate there is. The state of Chicago is controlled by Daley's cronies so send him the message by Voting them out.
What people aren't realizing is Chicago and Cook will get roughly 45% of the power to control the Con-Con if it gets passed. So you think the state is a democratic stronghold now just wait.
Use your vote wisely and don't bypass the issue. VOTE NO FOR THE CON-CON
Well at least something I voted on went my way :D. GOOD RIDDANCE CON-CON.
Yep, shouldn't have to worry about that for another 10 years.
Mikey, your Chicago guy got elected - you should be happy about that.
Actaully its 20 years Jack..And I voted for McCain. Oh yeah, one more thing. Nice traffic jam on I-57 2 weeks ago. Right at I-64. Over 1 hour to go 3 miles. Screwed up the great time I was making to New Orleans !
I hear you, Mikey.
I missed getting a seat on the county board by 500 votes.
I guess it wasn't a good year to be a Republican.
Our school referendum failed AGAIN.
People want a school, they don't want to consolidate, yet don't want to fund their school.
What kind of a message are we sending the kids?
Just another reason to resent the "older" generation.
Oh well; now, I have to get ready for trustee election next year.

Pitching Practice
By Bob Byrd for TheCompletePitcher.com
Baseball pitchers of all ages must become proficient at fielding their position. Pitcher's fielding practice (PFP) is a very important part of pre-season practice. These are easy, routine plays but it is vital that the pitchers get to the point where it is second nature to them and they make no mistakes.
Covering first base on all ground balls hit to the right side of the infield. Don't forget it is the catcher's responsibility to call out loud and clear, "Get over there!"
Comebackers with no one on base. He must field the ball, get a four-seam grip, set his feet and throw a strike to the first baseman.
Mistakes here are made because the pitcher throws flatfooted or rushes the throw. As Roy Campanella once said, "You know your can't outrun that ball." Take your time.
Comebackers with a runner on first base or first and second. This is an easy 1-6-3 double play and it should be made every time. Coaches should demand perfection on this play in practice.
Mistakes to look for are not closing off the glove-side shoulder to second base, not moving the feet or hurrying the throw (usually resulting in throwing from a low arm slot and the ball sails). Also the pitcher must have in his mind where he will throw the ball with runners on first and second. He should not try for the lead runner here. He should throw to the SS to begin the double play. Do not even practice throwing to third. Even if you are successful you probably won't be able to get the DP.
Bases-loaded comebackers. The ball should immediately be thrown, chest high over the plate to the catcher to start the double play.
Mistakes here are usually mental. The pitcher didn't run the scenario in his mind before the pitch.
Bunted balls. These are usually routine and are dependent on the pitcher's athleticism, technique and mechanics. (Does he have solid mechanics in that he is facing the catcher after ball release? If he falls off one side of the mound or the other he will not be able to field all bunted balls. The opposing team will easily recognize that and you can be assured they will bunt on your pitcher.) After a pitch to the catcher the coach, in the batter's box may underhand a ball on the infield for the pitcher to field. Tossing balls for bunts is more accurate than hitting fungos
Line your pitchers behind the mound and have them take multiple turns for each play. They may simulate a pitch to the catcher if it is a rest day or they may throw fastballs to the catcher, working on accuracy.
PFP should be a high-speed, intense drill with coaches teaching and correcting at every turn. Successful PFP will pay many dividends during the season.

FIFA banned Iran football coach Carlos Queiroz for two matches for insulting South Korean captain during Iran's 1-0 win over South Korea in October.
Photos: Iranian Football Team's Practice Session
The Portuguese was accused of insulting the South Korean skipper in Tehran's Azadi Stadium during the 2014 World Cup qualifier.
Queiroz was sent off in the match after he attacked the referee. He believed that the Singaporean referee Abdul Malik Bin Abdul Bashir had to show card to the Koreans for elbowing the Iranian players.
The Iranian Football Federation (IFF) has lodged an appeal against the two-match ban awarded to Queiroz, Iran's semi-official news agency ISNA reported.

The memorial with inscriptions in four languages reads, "In memory of the victims of the air disaster of March 24, 2015" is seen in a field near the French Alps in the village of Le Vernet, March 27, 2015. A young German co-pilot barricaded himself alone in the cockpit of Germanwings flight 9525 and apparently set it on course to crash into an Alpine mountain, killing all 150 people on board including himself, French prosecutors said on Thursday. The pilot Andreas Lubitz, 27, who crashed a plane in the French Alps had received a sick note from doctors showing he suffered a health condition that would have prevented him flying the day of the crash, which he apparently hid from his employer, German prosecutors said.

Employees at Lean & Green, an organic cafe off Prospect Avenue in La Jolla, could set their clocks by Sarah Rich's three-times-a-day visits. Rich, a modeling agent originally from Australia, starts her day with a berry antioxidant shake. She returns promptly at 11:30 for a $9 wrap sandwich stuffed with tuna, sun-dried tomatoes and avocado, and a vegan chocolate chip cookie.
Fans of eating organic have always believed that organic fruits and vegetables packed a bigger nutritional punch than conventionally grown produce. But until pretty recently, hard scientific evidence has been lacking. Studies that seemed to prove the theory often turned out to be poorly designed – the organic and conventional crops weren't grown in the same area or weren't the same variety, for example.
Saveur magazine has released its annual "Saveur 100," a list of the staff's favorite people, places and things from the world of food.

Derek Paravicini
This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2014) |
Derek Paravicini | |
Derek Paravicini at the keyboard, 20 April 2008.
Born | 26 July 1979 |
Nationality | British |
Known for | Music ability |
Derek Paravicini (born 26 July 1979) is a blind English autistic savant and a musical prodigy. He lives in London.
Paravicini was born extremely prematurely, at 25 weeks.[1] His blindness was caused by oxygen therapy given during his time in a neonatal intensive care unit. This also affected his developing brain, resulting in his severe learning disability.[2] He also has autism.
He has absolute pitch and can play a piece of music after hearing it once. He began playing the piano by the age of two when his nanny gave him an old keyboard. His parents arranged for him to attend the Linden Lodge School for the Blind in London. On his introductory visit to the school, in the music room he broke free from his parents, then headed straight for a piano being played, and then pushed the player, Adam Ockelford, aside to take over. Ockelford encouraged him and arranged first weekly and then daily lessons.[3][4] Aged seven, Paravicini gave his first concert in Tooting Leisure Centre in South London.
In 1989, at the age of nine, Paravicini had his first major public concert at the Barbican Hall in London when he played with the Royal Philharmonic Pops Orchestra. In that year, he appeared on Wogan and was the main subject of a documentary called Musical Savants.
When he was older, he was presented with a Barnardo's Children's Champion Award by Diana, Princess of Wales for his performances at age seven and nine.[2] More opportunities followed, including playing at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club.[4] Paravicini lives in London.
Paravicini's first album Echoes of the Sounds to Be was released on 27 September 2006. His official biography, In the Key of Genius by Adam Ockelford, was published in the UK by Hutchinson (ISBN 978-0091796129) on 3 May 2007.
He was featured on an episode of Channel 5's Extraordinary People in an episode titled "The Musical Genius", which showed his journey to Las Vegas to play in a charity concert with another savant, Rex Lewis-Clack. He was interviewed twice by Lesley Stahl for 60 Minutes.[3] In 2009, he was one of the subjects of the NOVA series' episode "Musical Minds", featuring neurologist Oliver Sacks, on PBS.[5] He was featured a second time by 60 Minutes on 14 March 2010.[6] In 2009, he performed for the former Chancellor Alistair Darling, when he unexpectedly played Big Spender.[2]
On 13 May 2010, Paravicini made legal history when the United Kingdom's last remaining secret court was opened for the first time to discuss his future care. The Court of Protection, which controls the future of adults incapable of managing their own affairs, appointed Paravicini's family to look after his welfare and commercial future. Until that legal decision was made, the Official Solicitor from the Ministry of Justice had been looking after his affairs, rather than his divorced parents, Nicolas Paravicini and Mary Ann Parker Bowles.[2]
On 26 August 2010, Paravicini was featured on the History Channel's Stan Lee's Superhumans. On the show, he was subjected to testing which verified his savantism and musical ability. After Paravicini improvised at two pianos with the composer Matthew King, for a radio programme made for BBC Radio 4, they collaborated on a new Piano Concerto entitled Blue which was first performed with the Orchestra of St John's in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London in September 2011. This is believed to be the first concerto ever composed for someone with learning disabilities.
Paravicini is the son of Nicolas Paravicini and Mary Ann Parker Bowles, the former sister-in-law of Camilla Parker Bowles, who later, by her marriage to the Prince of Wales, became the Duchess of Cornwall.[2] He is a great-grandson of author William Somerset Maugham. His stepmother is Susan Rose "Sukie" Phipps (born 1941), who was brought up by Fitzroy Maclean, one of the models for James Bond. His cousins include the food writer Tom Parker Bowles and his sister Laura Lopes.[7]

Victor Hugo (1802-1885). Les Miserables. (The Wretched.) A Novel. Richmond: West and Johnston, 1863-1864.
The "new translation, revised," quickly proved to be widely popular and also gave rise to a marvelous bit of dark humor applicable to the times and the particular spirit of the title. Supposedly, so the widespread story went, a woman in the summer of 1863 entered the Richmond bookshop of West and Johnston in search of "a copy of that book about Gen. Lee's poor miserable soldiers faintin'." The befuddled clerk, after struggling a bit to discern what she might mean, cautiously asked if she was, in fact, looking for a copy of Les Miserable: Fantine, the title of the novel's first part. No doubt flustered, she insisted that something so odd could not possibly be the book in question, refused to buy it, and left the shop.

The perfect couple: U.S. and UAE healthcare relationship is growing
A new report, released on Tuesday by the U.S.-UAE Business Council, finds that the UAE healthcare sector has made significant strides through partnership with U.S. companies. As outlined in the country's federal diversification plan, UAE Vision 2021, the UAE will continue to invest and partner with best-in-class companies to build a first-rate healthcare infrastructure while growing expertise and services to fulfill its citizens' needs and expectations.
The report, "The UAE Healthcare Sector," analyses the comprehensive healthcare relationship between the two countries. The report found that in 2013 alone, UAE healthcare spending reached an estimated $16.8 billion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 16 per cent through 2014. The report also highlights specific areas of opportunity for US companies including education and training, diabetes and other chronic non-communicable diseases, information technology challenges, updating policies regarding pharmaceuticals and medical devices, and healthcare insurance improvements.
"The United States and United Arab Emirates are rapidly expanding trade and commercial partnerships to meet economic diversification, foreign direct investment, and export promotion initiatives underway in both countries," said U.S.-UAE Business Council President Danny Sebright. "The healthcare sector provides unique and dynamic opportunities for US companies and providers to support the UAE's evolving domestic healthcare infrastructure."
The report provides a snapshot of all federal and Emirate-level healthcare organisations in the UAE, as well as highlighting the significant growth of hospitals and the amount of beds in each individual Emirate over the last forty years. Current U.S.-UAE partnerships are also highlighted, including the new Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, and advice for incoming US healthcare companies on best practices is provided. Numerous factors are cited in the report as contributing to the growth of this bilateral healthcare relationship. Among them is the UAE's emergence as the Middle East's centre for business and commerce, a deepening U.S.-UAE bilateral relationship, and the significant investment in and development of the UAE's health care sector.
"This report provides a glimpse of the vast healthcare sector opportunities for US-UAE private and public sector stakeholders," said Sebright. "The UAE has attainable ambitions to become a medical hub for the entire Middle East North Africa region and the U.S. is in a good position to support this goal."
