US moving on nuke arms cuts decision
Tuesday - 7/3/2012, 2:53am EDT
By ROBERT BURNS
AP National Security Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration is moving toward decisions that would further cut the number of U.S. nuclear weapons, possibly to between 1,000 and 1,100, reflecting new thinking on the role of nuclear weapons in an age of terror, current and former officials say.
The reductions under consideration are in line with President Barack Obama's vision of trimming the nation's nuclear arsenal without harming national security in the short term, and in the longer term, eliminating nuclear weapons.
The White House has yet to announce any plan for reducing the number of nuclear weapons, beyond commitments made in the recently completed New Start treaty with Russia, which obliges both countries to reduce their number of deployed long-range nuclear warheads to no more than 1,550 by 2018. As of March 1, Russia had dropped its total to 1,492 and the U.S. stood at 1,737.
Obama has been considering a range of options for additional cuts, including a low-end range that would leave between 300 and 400 warheads. Several current and former officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, said there appeared to be a consensus building around the more modest reduction to 1,000 to 1,100 deployed strategic warheads.
Officials have indicated that a decision could be announced this month. But given Republican criticism of any proposed further cuts and the heating up of the presidential election campaign, the White House might put the decisions on hold until after November. The administration has indicated it would prefer to pursue further reductions as part of a negotiation with Russia, but some have suggested that reductions could be done unilaterally.
Any reductions are likely to stir opposition among Republicans in Congress, who believe Obama underestimates the importance of a stable nuclear deterrent, even though the cuts probably would save tens of billions of dollars.
"I just want to go on record as saying that there are many of us that are going to do everything we possibly can to make sure that this preposterous notion does not gain any real traction," Rep. Trent Franks, an Arizona Republican who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, said when The Associated Press first revealed the scope of possible cuts in February.
Beyond the argument over numbers are more fundamental questions: What role do nuclear weapons have after the Cold War, now that the threat of all-out nuclear war with Moscow has abated? Do nuclear weapons deter belligerents such as al-Qaida or other terrorist organizations? The administration considered these questions in an internal reassessment of nuclear weapons policy.
James Cartwright, the retired Marine Corps general who commanded U.S. nuclear forces from 2004-07, thinks the U.S. should acknowledge that a large nuclear force is of limited value in deterring today's major threats.
"No sensible argument has been put forward for using nuclear weapons to solve any of the major 21st century problems we face," including threats posed by rogue states, terrorism, cyber warfare or climate change, Cartwright and his colleagues at Global Zero wrote in a report in May. Global Zero is an organization that advocates a step-by-step process to achieve the eventual elimination of all nuclear weapons.
The group argues that the U.S. could safely reduce its arsenal over the coming 10 years to 900 total nuclear weapons _ 450 deployed at any given time and a like number held in reserve. That compares with the current U.S. arsenal of about 5,000 weapons, of which 1,737 are deployed.
Advocates of cutting below 1,550 argue that nuclear weapons serve an increasingly narrow purpose, and that their large numbers undercut the credibility of demands that Iran and other nations forgo acquiring their own. Opponents argue that the U.S. should not risk losing its predominant position in the nuclear arena while North Korea, Iran and other are pursuing their own nuclear ambitions.
Obama himself has made clear in recent statements that he thinks the time is right to break with the past.
"The massive nuclear arsenal we inherited from the Cold War is poorly suited to today's threats, including nuclear terrorism," he said March 26 in Seoul. He noted that last summer he ordered his national security team to undertake a comprehensive review of nuclear forces and policies, which was completed early this year.
"We can already say with confidence that we have more nuclear weapons than we need," Obama said.
Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, said he interprets Obama's views as supportive of keeping only enough of them to deter existing nuclear powers like Russia and China _ not to deter attacks with other types of mass-casualty weapons like biological or chemical arms.

IBM is celebrating 20 years since the launch of its Simon smartphone with a public display at the Science Museum.
The device was launched on 16 August 1994 and, although it is outdated by modern standards, it paved the way for the smartphone-dominated mobile market that now exists.
The device was the first to provide features beyond calls with its built-in software allowing for apps, such as a calendar, and the ability to read emails, and send and receive faxes.
However, the capabilities were ahead of their time and the device's time on the market was short-lived as it was withdrawn from sale after six months. The price would have been an issue too as the Simon cost $899 at launch. It also weighed a hefty 0.5kg and operated only within a 15-state network in the US.
Despite this brief foray into the mobile world, the Simon can be seen as the first ever smartphone and its impact has slowly filtered through to many of the devices millions of us now use to run our digital lives.
Science Museum curator Charlotte Connelly said that because of this, despite not being a commercial success, IBM's Simon remains an important part of the technology industry's history.
"Simon was released in 1994. In the early 1990s personal digital systems (PDAs) were all the rage. They were little devices you carried around that connected to your computer and did things like help you manage contacts and store a few documents – basically [they did] a load of things business people wanted. Then completely separately you may have had a mobile phone," she said.
"This was the first device that put both of these in the same box and, even though it wasn't a commercial success by any means, it was still the first of its kind. That's why it is so important as a part of technology's history."
The Science Museum has taken delivery of an original IBM Simon as part of its Information Age exhibition that will open on 25 October.

Former Mount Airy and East Carolina football standout Michael Dobson signed with the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday.
Dobson participated in the Seahawks' rookie minicamp in May. The defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks travel to Denver tonight for their preseason opener.
The 6-foot, 191-pound safety joins a Seattle team with a much-heralded secondary — led by cornerback Richard Sherman. The "Legion of Boom" secondary also features Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor and Byron Maxwell. Last season, the Seahawks led the NFL in interceptions, pass defense and total defense on the way to a Super Bowl blowout victory against the Broncos. Seattle finished the season with 39 takeaways.
In December, Dobson started at strong safety his final college game with the Pirates in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl. Dobson recorded 14 tackles and had an interception in East Carolina's 37-20 victory against Ohio. He played as a running back during his first three years with the Pirates before making the switch to the secondary.
Dobson, who played in 50 career games with East Carolina, had 42 tackles his senior season.
Dobson led Mount Airy to a 16-0 season and the state 1A title in 2008 — finishing his senior year with 156 carries for 1,758 yards (11.3 yards per carry) and 35 touchdowns. On defense, Dobson finished his high school career with 12 interceptions. He was an all-state selection his junior and senior season. As a junior, he rushed 153 times for 1,638 yards and 33 TDs, as Mount Airy posted a 13-1 record.
As a junior, Dobson was named the Northwest Conference Offensive Player of the Year.
The most recent Mount Airy native to play in the NFL was wide receiver James Brim, who played three games with the Minnesota Vikings in 1987. Brim graduated from Mount Airy High School and went to Wake Forest University.

From Milwaukee, Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Gov. Scott Walker's book to be released in paperback Tuesday
Madison -- Gov. Scott Walker's book "Unintimidated" will be released in paperback edition with a few new pages.
In a new three-page epilogue to the book detailing the Republican governor's 2011 fight with unions, Walker argues that his policies are still improving the state's budget and economy.
The epilogue reads more like the speeches and statements by Walker and less like most other parts of the book, which was released last year and co-written by author Marc Thiessen, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush.
"So even today, long after the mobs of protesters have left the Capitol in Madison, we are practicing the prudent advice former (Indiana) Governor Mitch Daniels gave me to never stop reforming. And the great news is that our reforms are working," Walker writes.
The new epilogue describes the budget surplus last spring that Walker and GOP lawmakers used to further cut taxes and says that in spite of those tax cuts the state's "revenues continue to grow."
Estimates made by Walker's administration this summer found that tax revenues were dropping slightly in the state.
A spokeswoman for Walker's publisher Sentinel, an imprint of Penguin Random House, had no immediate response to a question about when the epilogue had to be submitted for publication. The long lags sometimes involved in book publishing can leave information in a book out of date by the time it actually appears in print.

This Bella Bracelet is made from the same materials as our original design, but with a wooden wolf charm, instead of the hand-carved stone wolf charm.
Designer's note:Â I designed the Bella Bracelet using a stone wolf charm because until now, I could not find a wooden wolf that lived up to my vision of what was described in "Eclipse." The wooden charms I had examined seemed to break easily, and did not have enough detail to be included in my design.
This wooden wolf is quite detailed, and is stained in a russet color between brown and red, with a hint of burnt orange, just as I imagined the color of Jacob's wolf-form fur.
Twilight fans with an eye for detail will appreciate the little things on this cute standing wolf charm, from the tiny ears right down to the paws. If you are looking for THE ONE piece of jewelry every Twilight fan should own, THIS IS IT!
This bracelet includes a pretty Bella Twilight gift box, and is ready for giving.
A note on sizes: The "average" size of a woman's bracelet is 7.5 inches. Most people will feel comfortable with either a 7 inch or an 8 inch bracelet. Unlike other body measurements, wrist size does not change much with weight, so that's why there aren't many sizes listed. Choose a 7 inch bracelet if you are slim or prefer a snug bracelet. Choose an 8 inch bracelet if you need a bit more room, or prefer a looser bracelet. The 6 inch is for children or very slim ladies. Most adults would feel a 6 inch bracelet is too small.
Although the charm is stained and lightly glazed to protect it from incidental exposure to moisture, etc., please take care not to wear your bracelet during vigorous activities.

For Bell, every day is father's day
"Once I hit the catcher, the intensity's completely gone," Bell says. "I let the air out of the balloon."
As for Bell, the father, Nicole sensed she might have the right man when they went on their second date. Nicole was 20, a single mother with a 1½-year-old daughter, Jasmyne. Bell insisted Nicole bring Jasmyne miniature golfing.
"He was so patient with her," Nicole says. "That just reconfirmed my feelings about him."
Heath adopted Jasmyne, who's now 12. Rhett, who's 18 months old, rounds out the four children.
On June 2, the Padres' charter from Atlanta touched down at Lindbergh Field at about 1 a.m. The team bused to Petco Park, Bell stepped into his pickup and drove home, walking into the front door at about 2.
He set the alarm for 4:30, and drove Nicole to the airport as his mother-in-law stayed home with the kids. By 6:15, Bell rustled the three older kids out of bed, blended Jasmyne's favorite breakfast shake, drove Jasmyne to school, returned home, then took Jordyn and Reece to school.
With a game later that night, why not sleep in?
"If I slept in, OK, there's one less day (with the kids)," Bell says. "All I have to do is stay up. I was just on the road for seven days and didn't get to see 'em."
Adds Nicole, "He'll do anything for the kids. It's always the kids first. He never puts himself first."

One routine change in tactics turned everything around for the Bakersfield High girls basketball team on Thursday night.
After switching from a man-to-man to a zone defense at halftime, the Drillers quickly erased a three-point deficit and then went on to beat Independence 51-37 in opening day action of the Stockdale Holiday Round-Up.
Marissa Jones had 18 points and six steals for the Drillers, who outscored the Falcons 28-11 in the second half.
"I pride myself on playing defense, and we had to buckle down," BHS coach Jimmy Henry said. "By going to a zone, it cut off their penetration. If you look at the first half they shot a lot of free throws and made them."
Both teams came into the contest having won their early games on Thursday with ease.
Independence (7-4) started off strong against the Drillers (7-5), forcing turnovers and scoring in transition as it built a six-point lead with 1:05 remaining in the first quarter.
But a 12-3 third-quarter run, highlighted by eight points in less than two minutes by Kylah McMillon, helped BHS take command.
"I knew we were down and that we needed to pick it up a little bit," McMillon said.
McMillon, one of three freshman starters for the Drillers, finished with 10 points. The Drillers' other two rookies, Zharia McCollum (six points, 10 rebounds) and Kynedy Edwards (four points, eight rebounds), also played key roles in the victory.
Erin Cantrell had 12 points and Ebony Sanders chipped in 11 points and nine rebounds for Independence.
The Drillers out-rebounded the Falcons by a wide margin, leading to numerous fast-break and second-chance scoring opportunities.
BHS also held onto the ball much better than Independence, committing nine fewer turnovers (15-24).
Those two factors led to a wide disparity in shot attempts. The Drillers were 22-of-64 (34-percent) from the field while Independence was 13-of-37 (35-percent).
Things were especially one-sided in the second half as BHS had just three turnovers and the Falcons attempted only 10 shots from the floor.
"We just didn't come out the second half with the same intensity, the same energy," Independence coach Val Mancera said. "We got out-worked for loose balls and rebounds."
Henry wasn't surprised by his team's slow start, noting its youth.
"I think a lot of times we get rattled in the beginning, then once the adrenaline sets out we can focus into what we're supposed to do," he said.
Jones played with focus, scoring 22 points in the Drillers' tournament-opening 62-20 thrashing of Delano.
"Tonight was a totally different mindset from this morning," Jones said. "This morning I knew it was kind of an easy game. And with us being tied (for third place in the SWYL standings) with Independence I just knew we had to come out from the beginning and leave it all out on the court."
The Drillers can clinch first place in Pool B of the holiday tournament with a victory over Porterville-Monache today.
That's when the other two four-team pools, featuring local powers Ridgeview, Stockdale, and Garces, will also be decided.

I'd like to share a new and very cool feature found in the OC client for the 2007 release.Scenario: Say you are using Office Communicator's (OC) audio/video capabilities with your peers and your discussion is directed at a document found on your machine. You are editing the document during the conversation and it would be beneficial for everyone to see edits as they are made. From OC, with a click of a button, you start a Live Meeting (LM) session and everyone in the OC conversation is automatically invited. Each OC participant can join the LM session to view the document you screen shared while still maintaining Audio and Video in OC. This is all done without ever leaving the context of your conversation and can be done from a person to person, multi-person, ad-hoc, or scheduled OC conference!Possible from the Server or Service: This scenario can be achieved whether your company uses an on-premise Office Communication Server (OCS) or utilizes Microsoft's hosted Live Meeting Service. If your company utilizes both, either option could be available to you and will be offered if your LM settings are configured appropriately. If your company only utilizes the Server or the Service, you'll automatically get that as your only choice. Below I describe the steps to initiate the scenario for both Server and Service. Steps to connect to LM from OC to are the same for both but a few end results vary between Server and Service.Where to find the OC escalation functionality: My first screenshot shows an audio, video and instant message (IM) conversation I am having with Bill. To the right of our names are icons representing IM, audio, and video, respectively. After our initial discussion in OC, we are ready to simultaneously view my document from Live Meeting. This can be done with (Note: It is not possible to start in LM and directly connect to OC.)
There are 3 places you can connect to LM from inside of OC.
How do I determine my escalation option/s?: OC automatically determines which Live Meeting User Account settings are configured on your machine. For example, since I have both Live Meeting Server and Service user accounts available and configured correctly, both Server and Service escalation options are available to me and I could choose either based on whether I want a Server or Service meeting. If your company only utilizes one or the other, you will only be given the available option.Escalating into a Server Meeting: The "Share Information Using Live Meeting" option tells the LM client to connect to the OCS Server. As the initiator of the escalation when selecting this option, LM will automatically launch and you join a new OCS meeting as the presenter. The OC Conversation Window will show an extra icon representing the new connection between OC and LM.
All others in the OC conference then receive the below message in their IM window.
Once OC participants choose to join the meeting, they will be told they have accepted the invitation. If they have the LM client installed they will join the meeting directly as attendees. If they do not have the LM client installed, they will be prompted for installation options. Once you and those you have invited have entered into the Live Meeting, both OC and LM will be opened with OC maintaining existing IM, Audio, and Video. With Audio still in OC, if you receive another call you can answer it and the existing conversation will automatically go on hold. Moving forward, LM will manage any imported or shared data. From this one click of a button, collaboration can continue seamlessly utilizing both OC and LM!Experience in Live Meeting: To import your document into a Live Meeting, open the Content pane, click the "Share" dropdown menu and select from the "Upload" or "Share" options.
Content will be added to the Content pane and can be selected for viewing by all in the meeting. Once the document review is complete all participants can choose to exit the LM and continue on within OC.It is possible to transfer Audio and Video to LM but, as mentioned above, your current Audio session will not auto hold when answering incoming calls (which happens by default when in OC).With this said, to transfer Audio from OC to LM, go to the LM Voice & Video pane and you will see the option to "Join Audio".
After clicking the "Join Audio" button your voice will move from OC to LM. During this transition, others in the meeting will not hear you; normally this lasts for only a second or two. You will still be able to hear others during this transition. It is worth noting that with this transition, though your audio will stop in OC and move to LM, your video will also stop in OC, but will not auto start in LM. To start Video in LM, return to the Voice & Video pane, access the Video dropdown menu and selecting "Show Main Video". At this time video should display in your meeting if others are transmitting to you.
At this point both Audio and Video have effectively moved from OC to LM for you. (IM conversations cannot be transferred to LM. If you have a group chat in OC and you want to continue, do so from OC.) At this time you could effectively close your IM window and have Audio, Video and Data exclusively in LM. For others in the meeting to also switch to LM, they would follow the same directions.Utilizing a Service Meeting: The "Meet Now Using Live Meeting Service" option tells the LM client to connect using the Microsoft hosted Service. The steps to connect OC to LM are the same across Server and Service so I won't detail them, but there are 2 end result differences between Server and Service I will cover.It is necessary to first understand the "Meet Now" feature and how it differs between Server and Service since "Meet Now" is what is used when you connect to LM via OC. The "Meet Now" feature is a way in which users can enter a Live Meeting without having to schedule it beforehand.
So if you want a clean meeting to join, make sure all past content in your Service "Meet Now" space has been removed or always join a Server meeting.The second difference between connecting to a Server vs. Service meeting from OC comes into play when looking at Audio functionality.
I hope this information has spurred on your interest to try out this new feature! Happy escalating!Samantha WoogerdProgram Manager Published Monday, March 03, 2008 10:03 AM by octeamFiled Under: Conferencing

Then came the second half in which I closed in on Sundberg; to begin with I thought it was his ploy to induce me into making a mistake. I had the chance to overtake him at the first curve of the home straight but I was too hasty because I thought I still had a few minutes in hand. This is where my inexperience played a part because I didn't see the last lap signs. Instead the chequered flag came out and the race was over".

08.11.06 - by Ernesto Morales - The Kid was only 5 years old when his dad, Don Goyo, had him sparring with his two very talented, older brothers EVERY DAY! Gregory Jnr and Frankie were both good enough to turn pro at early ages and had a combined 34-7-1 record. Gregory as an amateur represented Puerto Rico a couple of times in international competition, turned pro at 16 and won his first 10 pro fights before losing 2 razor thin boooooed decisions before calling it quits. One loss came to eventual Alexis Arguello conqueror; the more experienced Vilomar Fernandez, then 11- 1. He got disgusted and helped his father train his other brothers, sparring with them on a daily basis.
Frankie turned pro at 15 years old and won all but one of his first 24 fights. After losing 2 straight, one to the vastly experienced 32yr old Chris fernandez, who had 2 recent wins over yet world champ Saoul Mamby, who also defeated Doc McClendon twice, Angel Robinson Garcia, future 147lb world champ, Angel Espada and future world WBC 140lb champion Miguel Velasquez Fernandez, all in his opponents home turf. He also went the distance losing close decisions to Bruno Arcari and Ken Buchannan..
Frankie's other loss came to experienced Josue Marquez, who two years earlier lost a 15rd split decision to Antonio "Kid Pambele" Cervantes, one of the best 140lb'ers of All Times. Frankie was ONLY 18yrs old!!! But drifted away from the gym and would fight sparingly, often ill trained or over weight.
Wilfred was forced to spar with the other young hard-hitting stars of the Benitez stable, Esteban DeJesus and Alfredo Escalera. Both Esteban and Alfredo were bitter enemies. After an altercation while jogging at the Sixto Escobar Stadium, Escalera left Don Goyo's stable and split for New York and later New Jersey.
As a 12yr old Wilfred was already too talented for most 15-16yr old amateurs. His father continually had him sparring with grown men or experienced pros. These pros refused to be humiliated and fooled by the hard to hit, fast handed Kid, who was nicknamed "El Radar". They had to hustle to keep up with Wilfred. They tried to hurt The Kid, trying to keep him humble. The Kid couldn't block them all. Hard, heavy, experienced blows of ADULT FORCE would land on his still very young and still fragile head and body. No effects were noticed. The Kid only got better and better and at the super tender age of 17yrs old, still a boy, Wilfred became a champion in a mans sport.
Former Commission MD, Dr Amuary Capella along with Dr Hugo Ramirez, an old friend of our family, once sat with Don Goyo after his win over Carlos Palomino and expressed their concern of "El Radar". They said that Wilfred had taken a lot of 'blows by his brothers and by the other older/ bigger young men as an infant. The young child had absorbed 'Adult' punishment and blows at a tender age. Since winning the 140lb title his training sessions had intensified while his dedication had dwindled. They advised Goyo to prepare The Kid for a short career, save and invest all that they could. They warned that although Wilfred hadn't taken any serious punishment in any particular fight, the accumulation of the blows he's already received, to both head and body, was enough. Don Goyo, with more greed than concern, looked at them with a, "What do you guys know" look, smiled and walked away. Later Dr Hugo told this to both my dad and me as we watched the Duran fight.
Wilfred had a love/hate relationship with his father. You got to understand the younger of the Benitez boxing clan was a 17yr old champ with very little formal education when he took the title, TOO YOUNG to sign contracts, TOO YOUNG to control his finances, TOO YOUNG..... "Daddy Dearest" had full control. Wilfred "sparred" more with his father over money than he did in the gym. When The Kid wanted to buy a motorcycle.... they fought
a car.... they fought
.a gift for his girlfriend.... a trip to New York.... they fought and fought and fought. A month before his fight with Leonard he wanted to know "How much advanced money?" was given by the promoters and demanded half. His father denied the facts but he knew his Dear Ol' Dad was lying. The Kid didn't have much schooling but he KNEW his dad and he also had proof so he walked out of the gym and refused to fight, refused to make another dime for his father. The press became very aware of The Kid's absence, day after day, one week going on two. Where's Wilfred??" the press and media asked. So did the fans. Practically ALL of Puerto Rico wanted to know. This was one of the usual ploys "El Radar" would resort to get even with "Daddy". He knew "Daddy" was spending money on Cervezas, Bacardi, Women.... and HORSES. He even went partners on a stable of 4 legged losers.
Sadly, the MDs had been right and Wilfred is now in a nursing home. Rarely taken out for anything, not even boxing functions. He's really out of it. He accomplished what no other fighter has. ONE World Title at the tender age of 17yrs old, TWO World Titles at 20, THREE World Titles while still only a very young 22!!!! All this when winning a title REALLY MEANT something! Back when there were only TWO sanctioning bodies, unlike the watered down FOUR we have these days!!........ Too bad his "Daddy" didn't listen. "Daddy" is no longer around. He passed years ago. He died broke. Wilfred is destined to die a similar death.... penniless.
I was there in the crowd when he won his first 2 titles and witnessed him KO Maurice Hope on TV
and I was there just a few short months ago at the Centro Medico Hospital
..What a contrast...... What a fighter
.but no longer the young 17 year old kid who created history
Boxing can make grown men cry but it will forever be indelible in the hearts of all fight fans.
He once said they [his brothers] were never asked if they wanted to be fighters, his father decided that for them. His father knew at least ONE of them had to make it, make it BIG, "that ONE" was The Kid, El Radar, Wilfred Benitez. Peace.

Shedd is an unincorporated community in Linn County, Oregon, United States on Oregon Route 99E.
In 1858, a community and gristmill was established about a mile and a half east of the present town of Shedd and called Boston, probably because one of the founders came from Boston, Massachusetts.[1][2] Boston was platted in 1861 with a New England-style town square.[2][3] The town became a stagecoach stop, and Boston Mills post office was established in 1869. Efforts to get the Oregon and California Railroad, which was being built south from Albany, to come through Boston Mills were unsuccessful. When the railroad was instead built through the nearby town of Shedd's Station in 1871, the post office was moved and the name changed to Shedds, after Captain Frank Shedd, on whose land the community was started.[1][2] All of Boston's buildings, except the mill itself, were also moved west to the railroad.[3] In 1899 the railroad changed the name of the station to Shedd, but the name of the post office didn't change until 1915.[1]
East of Shedd at the former site of Boston Mills, on the Calapooia River, is the National Register of Historic Places-listed Boston Flour Mill (aka Thompson's Flouring Mill), Oregon's oldest continuously operating water powered mill, part of Thompson's Mills State Heritage Site.[4] It is one of the four remaining gristmills in the state, and one of only two mills still in operation.[5]

Pitching by the Numbers: Special K relieversMichael Salfino at Yahoo Sports 6 days ago
We have enough of a sample now to look at relievers given that it takes only about 70 at bats for a pitcher's K-rate to stabilize. The stat we're interested in with them is primarily saves but also their ability to generate surplus Ks. My formula is keeping their K-rate at a solid 9.0 per nine innings (a winning number in innings-capped leagues) and giving the surplus Ks from that reliever to the rest of your staff.
Basically now we have a closer ranking that includes this surplus strikeout statistic: Chapman, Miller, Robertson, Allen, Kimbrel, Tolleson, Grilli, Storen…..
Pitching by the Numbers: Harvey climbs the chartsMichael Salfino at Yahoo Sports 13 days ago
We did our draft do-over at Roto Arcadeand were limited to two starting pitchers each. Let's look at some of the pitchers whose value has changed the most since our Friends and Family draft back in March.
1. Clayton Kershaw (1) 2. Max Scherzer (2) 3. Felix Hernandez (4) 4. Matt Harvey (11) 5. Johnny Cueto (14) 6. Corey Kluber (9) 7. Madison Bumgarner (7) 8. Chris Sale (6) 9. Gerrit Cole (15) 10. Zack Greinke (8) 11. Stephen Strasburg (3) 12. Jake Arrieta (20) 13. Sonny Gray (36) 14. David Price (5) 15. Jacob deGrom (19) 16. Cole Hamels (12) 17. Chris Archer (52) 18. * Danny Salazar (51) 19. * James Shields (18) 20. * Carlos Carrasco (23) 21. Jon Lester (13) 22. * Dallas Keuchel (64) 23. Michael Pineda (53) 24. Shelby Miller (77)
Pitching by the Numbers: Nelson an off-speed aceMichael Salfino at Yahoo Sports 19 days ago
Let's look at 2015 MLB play-by-play data to assess which pitchers have the best off-speed pitches according to the hitters — meaning they swing and miss at them the most.
I firmly believe that it's the fastball that's the foundation for all successful pitching. If you can't evade hard contact with that pitch you cannot get ahead of hitters and set up these secondary offerings. But once you have the count in your favor, and especially with two strikes, you need to finish hitters with pitches that wrinkle.
So this is a 2015 skills analysis. I have a high confidence level that these numbers are bettable, however injury always looms for hurlers and that's typically going to impact these pitches the most.
All of these stats are current as of Wednesday, May 13.
Nelson clearly has an out pitch. My numbers are generally down on him. But this is a big plus and suggests that he may be closer to dominance than his current stats indicate (8.0 Ks and 3.0 BBs/9).
Strop has closer stuff when you combine his curve with his 95 mph fastball. The good thing about curveballs is that they show the lowest platoon splits.
Alright, let's move on to the slider:

Pitching by the Numbers: Getting ahead
Last week we looked at pitchers' ability to compete when behind in the count by getting outs anyway. But the league average rate of outs on only 51% of these counts last year made it clear that Job 1 for starters is not falling behind in the first place.
Remember one of the things we found last week with our "getting outs from behind in the count" stat is that the trailers were close to the league average. That meant that the leaders were hardly ever falling behind and the trailers were thus taking up the great majority of the "fall-behind" situations. And Scherzer was a trailer but we can see that not getting the outs at a good rate when behind didn't matter so much for him because he was, more importantly, REALLY good at not falling behind.
Pitching by the Numbers: Falling behind
I'm very pleased that so many of you last week liked the deployment of my unconventional but easy-to-understand stats that help us better assess pitchers. And starting pitching is where the profits are made or lost and thus where our fantasy championships are decided.
As I detailed last week when addressing how batters are mostly in control of outcomes, we have to be wary about randomness (how hitters happen to generally hit against a pitcher) heavily influencing pitching stats. One way to check this is to see which pitchers appeared on this leader board in both 2013 and 2014.
Pitching by the Numbers: Special K
Fantasy baseball has increasingly become a game of efficiency and strikeouts, which don't seem to go hand in hand.
Efficiency is necessary to increase the probability of wins, handing the ball over to the dominant late-inning guys instead of the iffy middle-innings ones. It's a product of our national obsession with pitch counts.
But strikeout guys have to throw more pitches because you need at least three to register one and often more than three. But what if we isolated the efficient strikeouts, those that come on four pitches or less, as a percentage, not of total strikeouts but of all outs.
That's not only efficiency but even more pure dominance. What's more in your face than dismissing a batter back to the dugout with the bat on his shoulder in a handful of pitches?
Using MLB play-by-play data from last year, we've calculated this rate of outs on strikeouts of four pitches or less, as well as the league-wide average (13%).
Not surprisingly, relievers who can let it all hang out on every pitch lead the list. So I cut them off at 20%, but I charted all pitchers with at least 1,000 pitches who were well above average — 17% was the cutoff.
Pitching by the Numbers: Weak contact
Let's talk about the starting pitchers who were best last year in limiting hit quality while also having playable K rates in 12-team mixers.
[Baseball 2015 from Yahoo! Fantasy Sports: Join a league today!]
Notice first that the ERAs of these pitchers seem to have less connection to BABIP. And 15 of 25 outperformed their FIP ERA, which is really hard to do. While BABIP is not technically a part of the FIP formula, the practical result is focusing on BABIP because it assumes league average performance in converting balls in play into outs. But I don't like how BABIP ignores homers and how FIP ignores double and triples. So if I'm going to pick one of these stats to supplement my (K-BB)/IP, it's going to be ISO allowed.
Pitching by the Numbers: Tiering up
The assumption in fantasy baseball is that we need to project players in order to find hidden value beyond last year's stats. Because, of course, any idiot can just pay the freight for the players' prior-year numbers when they have similar roles and health.

Family appreciates expression of sympathyPublished 6:08pm Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Dear Editor:
The Family of J.P. Cain deeply appreciate and gratefully acknowledge your kind expression of sympathy, love and respect for J.P. You touched his heart and career in a very positive way he never forgot and he touched yours. This genuine love was shared, grief though heart-rendering cannot take love away. Love is forever.
The many deeds shared back and forth live on, the smile and handshake, a 5-year-old great-grandson, Will, said to Kate, another 5-year-old, "Kate, did you know Pop went to heaven"? "Uh-huh," Kate replied, "My daddy told me." Will added, "Think we better play (the piano) a little more softly"? Two 1-year-olds played quietly, maybe dozed in their parents arms, another placed his arms around his parents as they listen to music and beautiful words about their Pop, six grandsons were pallbearers, four granddaughters carried long stem red roses for Pop.
You tremendous friends shared with us as you did so often through the years, coach, teacher, mentor was I know pleased at the gentle breeze, the kind of day he really liked. You could feel the great love for this good man who loved and appreciates you each and everyone.
Love one said, "Wherever a beautiful soul has been … a lasting impression remains."
Thank you friends, we love you,
J.P. Cain's Family

West Baden Springs Hotel
Built in 1902, the same year as the rival French Lick Springs Hotel a short distance away, West Baden Springs Hotel is a National Historic Landmark. The soaring atrium was for sixty years the largest of its kind in the world, and it still takes your breath away. The hotel was closed for many years and in a serious state of decay. Now, after more than $30 million in renovations it is still far from being completed. However several opportunities are available for the those who want to see this magnificent and unique treasure. We took the tour on a Sunday afternoon and found it an experience not to be missed. Check the website below for tour times.
- Architecture
- Historical Travel
French Lick Springs Resort & Spa
Unlike the resort in neighboring West Baden, the French Lick Springs Resort & Spa survived the Great Depression and is still a functioning hotel.
Like the spa in West Baden, it had mineral springs believed to cure all kinds of ailments. All but one of the springs was capped, the surviving spring is at French Lick.
Although we did not stay here overnight, we did pop into the hotel for a look around. Neither the interior or exterior is as grand as the West Baden Resort but the 471 room hotel is still impressive.
Indiana Railway Museum
We didn't have enough time to go inside the museum but outside the museum there are several trains on display including some cars from the South Shore that my husband remembered from when he was a kid.
There's no charge to take a look at the trains outside.
Love it here!
My wife and I come to West Baden Springs Hotel 3 to 4 times a year. We absolutely love it here as a quick getaway (we live in Indianapolis). The hotel is breathtaking and the rooms are gorgeous with exceptional dining. We like to spend time at the casino which has a great single level layout. We also like to spend time at Patoka Lake or driving up to Gashtof Amish Village for the absolute best authentic Amish buffet we have ever had. While you are here don't forget to do some wine tasting at the French Lick Winery, they have some pretty awesome flavors. French Lick is a small town and true there is not a whole lot to do here but for us that is the attraction, peace and quiet.
- Wine Tasting
- Spa and Resort
- Casino and Gambling
There are many, many things to do in French Lick!!
There are many things to do in French Lick: You could go to the new hotel/indoor water park, you could spend a day out on Patoka lake, there are two marinas on the lake, explore the hotels, go bowling in the springs hotel, game room in the water park and springs hotel, Three golf courses: The Valley Course which is a 9 hole, The Hill Course, and the new Pete Dye Course, explore the downtown area, go shopping in the West Baden Hotel, Horse back riding, go to the new Casino, rent a house boat on the lake or wave runner, play tennis or hit balls at the driving range provided by the Valley Course which is located by the Casino, you could take a train ride (not recomended for children, very long and hot). There are many fun, exciting, historical things to see and do in French Lick, IN. I hope this review helped you decide to go to French Lick for your excursion!!

Traditional Vendors Out, New Players Emerge in Cloud Testing
Every recession over the past 30 years has proven to be a forcing function for significant technological change. In good times, corporations can get a bit careless or lose focus. However, in bad times, corporations go to great lengths to find new levels of cost efficiency in their operations . . . even if it means changing processes and technology that they had used for many years. This recession is no different, change is beginning to happen, and traditional software vendors are the prime targets. The traditional "License" model employed by traditional software vendors is officially dead with this recession. The "Software as a Service" business model or even more specifically, the "Pay for Use" model, have emerged as clear winners. IDC recently raised its 2009 projections for the SaaS market. They now expect this segment to grow by more than 40% this year. This business model shift, coupled with the emergence of the new deployment platform of Cloud Computing will make it very difficult for traditional vendors to maintain their thrones.
Take my business, the test marketplace. Our market was long dominated by Mercury Interactive which was bought by HP several years ago. Mercury's LoadRunner was the ideal tool for testing client-server applications in the late 80's and 90's, and its success drove Mercury to its leadership position under a license-based model. However, a license model that was very expensive ($30k/Test Hour). Today, the world has changed for HP/Mercury. We are all now developing and deploying new and much more dynamic Web applications for consumers around the world. Mercury's technology, business, and deployment model are looking a bit like Tom Jones performing at a Beyonce concert . . . a little out of place. New test vendors are beginning to emerge as the new leaders of the Cloud Testing market. This includes new players like SOASTA that deliver a "pay only for test time used" ($1k/Test Hour). Companies like these are greatly reducing the cost of testing while even enabling more and better quality testing. This is an example of another changing of the guard, made possible by another down economic period and a requirement for greater reliability.

Syrian Government Accused Again Of Using Chemical Weapons
By editor
Originally published on Wed August 21, 2013 4:38 pm
Anti-government activists in Syria are accusing President Bashar al-Assad's forces of deploying a chemical weapons attack on the suburbs of the capital, Damascus. The government denied the attack, but the allegations have prompted the United Nations to call an emergency meeting. Melissa Block talks to Washington Post reporter Loveday Morris for more.

According to an interview with the British edition of GQ, the "House of Wax" and "Simple Life" star will forsake sex for a calendar year, opting to limit her range of social intercourse with members of the opposite gender to merely kissing. Hilton perhaps hopes this relative degree of abstinence will lower her Internet purity score.
"People think I sleep with everyone, but I'm not like that," Hilton tells GQ. "Kissing is all I do ... The reason so many of my relationships don't work is guys are like, 'Hey what's going on? It's been like four months and I'm only getting a kiss here.'"
In addition to revealing her new sex-free lifestyle, Hilton also informs the magazine that although she's been linked to a daunting assortment of men in recent years, she's only slept with two people in her entire life.
No word on who the second guy was -- Stavros Niarchos?
I never received a dime from it," she says. "It's just dirty money and he should give it all to some charity for the sexually abused or something."
So far so good, her sexless life is pretty hot, Paris says in the magazine's September issue.
"I feel good about it," she gushes. "I like the way guys so crazy when they can't have sex with you. If he can't have you, he stays interested. The moment he has you, he's gone. Unless he is really in love with you."
