MINNEAPOLIS — Hanley Ramirez isn't blaming his recent struggles on his banged up left shoulder. And neither are the Red Sox decision-makers.
So, if it's not that, then what is it?
This is a hitter that hit .293 with a .999 OPS, 10 home runs and 22 RBI in April.
Thus far this month his average sits at .210 for May, while carrying a .511 OPS, not a single homer and just one RBI.
"Just work to June," he said after going 0-for-3 in the Red Sox' 6-4 loss to the Twins Wednesday. "That's it."
Besides bad luck — ("I mean, I keep hitting line drive outs to people. I can't control that. And I've been doing that for, I mean, the whole month. Just right at people," he said) — Ramirez believes a big part of the issue is how careful opposing pitchers are approaching him....
MINNEAPOLIS — The Red Sox announced Wednesday that they have acquired 28-year-old outfielder Carlos Peguero for cash considerations from the Rangers.
In order to make room on the 40-man roster for Peguero — a left-handed hitter who appeared in 30 games for the Rangers — the Red Sox placed reliever Anthony Varvaro on the 60-day disabled list.
Peguero played all three outfield positions for the Rangers, hitting .186 (13-for-70) with four home runs. All of his homers came on Texas' seven-game road trip in early May.
The outfielder had been designated for assignment May 20. He is out of options.
Peguero has shown pop, hitting 30 home runs for Triple-A Omaha last season. For his minor-league career, the Dominican native has homered 167 times, averaging one home run every 16.7 at-bats during his stints in Triple-A.
MINNEAPOLIS ' According to Rusney Castillo, his latest injury doesn't figure to be too much of an issue going forward.
The Red Sox outfielder, who re-injured his right shoulder diving for a catch in his team's 2-1 loss to the Twins Tuesday night, proclaimed himself better and on the verge of returning to action.
"It's tough to say exactly when," Castillo said when asked about a return date. "We're going day-to-day right now. I was ready to go in today, whether it be defensively or to run. I wouldn't have been 100 percent, but I did feel much better as the day went on today. We'll take it day-to-day and see how it feels tomorrow."
Castillo was replaced in the Red Sox' lineup by Brock Holt for the Red Sox' 6-4 loss to the Twins Wednesday afternoon.
He insisted...
MINNEAPOLIS — This is not working out, as the Red Sox' latest loss reminded us.
The pitcher, Rick Porcello, who the Red Sox designated their ace — judging by the $95 million committed over the next five seasons — allowed six runs over seven innings and now has an ERA of 5.37. In his last two starts, Porcello has given up 13 runs in 11 1/3 innings.
The three hitters (David Ortiz, Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez) the team invested in combined $52 million for this season finished off the Sox' three-game series against the Twins with four hits (4-for-35, .115) and two RBI between them.
Most importantly for the Red Sox, the end result of the struggles was a three-game sweep at the...
ESPN baseball analyst Buster Olney joined Middays with MFB on Wednesday to discuss the Red Sox, their status within the American League East and how they can improve. To hear the interview, go to the MFB audio on demand page.
Last week, with the Red Sox seeming to heat up, Olney said that the team had a great opportunity to take advantage of a relatively weak AL East. Since then, the Sox offense has sputtered and the team has lost five of seven. However, Olney maintains that the...

Peterson is always a delight to read...I enjoyed the entire book.
— Jay Mathews
Saving Schools traces the story of the rise, decline, and potential resurrection of American public schools through the lives and ideas of six mission-driven reformers: Horace Mann, John Dewey, Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Shanker, William Bennett, and James Coleman. Yet schools did not become the efficient, egalitarian, and high-quality educational institutions these reformers envisioned. Indeed, the unintended consequences of their legacies shaped today's flawed educational system, in which political control of stagnant American schools has shifted away from families and communities to larger, more centralized entitiesinitially to bigger districts and eventually to control by states, courts, and the federal government. Peterson's tales help to explain how nation building, progressive education, the civil rights movement, unionization, legalization, special education, bilingual teaching, accountability, vouchers, charters, and homeschooling have, each in a different way, set the stage for a new era in American education. Now, under the impact of rising cost, coupled with the possibilities unleashed by technological innovation, schooling may be transformed through virtual learning. The result could be a personalized, customized system of education in which families have greater choice and control over their children's education than at any time since our nation was founded.
Peterson is always a delight to read...I enjoyed the entire book.
— Jay Mathews
[An] excellent history of American education...[It] explores the reasons why public schools have stoutly resisted efforts to introduce choice and competition to education...If we're ever going to reform our schools successfully, we need to know why American education remains largely a centralized monolith. School reformers will find a great deal of valuable information in Mr. Peterson's thoughtful and informative book.
— Martin Morse Wooster
Peterson is at his best when he chronicles the history of the major ideas that have underpinned modern education reform...Over the course of his long career, Paul Peterson has made major contributions to the cause of education reform—and he's had ample opportunity to become discouraged. Yet he believes that we will, in the not-too-distant future, renew American public education. Let's hope he's right.
— Marcus A. Winters
American public schools were inspired and created largely using the ideas of six education reformers: Horace Mann, John Dewey, Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Shanker, William Bennett and James Coleman. In Saving Schools, Paul E. Peterson shows how their dreams went wrong; how public schools became a political football with families and communities on one end of the field and states, courts, and federal governments on the other. Peterson sees virtual learning as the solution—technology could be used to reinvigorate the personalized approach that public education's founders and philosophers dreamed of.
— Susan Salter Reynolds
The best books show you a new way of thinking about a familiar issue. Paul Peterson's Saving Schools: From Horace Mann to Virtual Learning offers a new way of thinking about education reform by recounting the histories of reformers...I encourage you to read it. It is full of insights and nice turns of phrase. Peterson is an able writer, graceful rather than powerful. Happily, the book lacks condemnations, sanctimony, or dewy-eyed platitudes, which puts it in rare company.
— Daniel Willingham
Compelling and enlightening...Saving Schools brings numerous aspects of education history out of the clouds and into focus with excellent context and background. And it's an enjoyable read.

Posted May 17, 2010
Peterson's book is all about Saving Schools Hoover Institute style. In this book he basically bends educational history to the sacred tenets of the Hoover Institute, School vouchers and choice. He blames the decline of public education on an increasingly litigious society (the lawyers) and the liberal boogeymen (ACLU). He also blames the decline in public education on teacher unions who, according to his dictates, are only selfishly looking out for their interests. Another cause for the decline of American public education is the push for more funding when, just as it is decreed in Hoover Institute dictates: "Schools have enough money, they just don't spend it wisely." This book showed promise of having original ideas and thoughts in it, but instead you get the same old tired Hooverian arguments for what amounts to doing away with public education. I'm afraid this one will go to the yard sale table for 25 cents, if I can sell it for that much.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Top four teams in college hoops
Updated: February 14, 2011, 4:12 PM ETBy Dick Vitale | ESPN.com
After Ohio State's loss at Wisconsin, the debate is on: Which team is No. 1 in college basketball? The beauty of the sport is that we determine a national championship with a tournament. That's what makes March Madness the greatest three weeks in sports, baby! You will hear cries from several campuses that their team is numero uno. Whether it is Columbus, Lawrence, Austin or Pittsburgh, it really is interesting. But here's how the VBDI (Vitale Bald Dome Index) sees things right now:

The NSLM endeavors to provide basic reference services to visitors in person and off-site. However, our staff is small; if you have topics that require extensive research, you may consider planning a trip to the Library or hiring a professional researcher.
In an effort to provide the best possible and most efficient service, we ask that anyone with a basic reference or research question to fill in a Reference Request Form and mail or fax it to the Library. Research performed by Library staff in response to a request is limited to 30 minutes per request.
The NSLM sells and rents photographic reproductions of items in its collection. Digital images (on a CD) are available for a three-month rental for reproduction and/or publication puposes.

Please note that the Library's sale of a reproduction does not grant authorization to publish it. It is the patron's responsibility to obtain written permission for publication or reproduction of texts and facsimiles from the Library and the copyright owner. For requests of this nature, please submit a Photographic Reproduction Request Form. Contact Librarian John Connolly at 540-687-6542 ext. 18 or email@example.com for more information.

Use seed beads, bicone beads and memory wire to create this pink and black bracelet.
- 9mm pink square 2 hole beads—17 (a)
- 5mm black faceted bicone beads—17 (b)
- 2mm round silver beads—54 (c)
- 11º matte black seed beads—34 (d)
- Beadalon Bracelet Memory Wire 6"-8" pieces—3
- Beadalon 5mm memory Wire End Caps—6
- Beadalon 3 Hole Strand Spacers—2
- BeadFix
- Beadstorm Chain Nose Pliers
- Measuring tape
Measure your wrist, add ¼" and cut the memory wire to this measurement. Cut three pieces. To cut memory wire hold it at the point you wish to cut it with your pliers and bend it back and forth until it breaks—usually a couple of times. Do not use a wire cutting tool as the wire will damage it.
To make the bracelet glue an end cap to one end of each piece of wire and hold a minute or so until the glue sets.
The pink beads are domed slightly on one side. You will need to reverse every other bead front to back as you thread them on. The holes go diagonally through the corners. To start bracelet thread one wire through the center hole of one of the strand spacers. Then thread on 1 c, 1 a, 1 c, 1 a and so on until you get to the other end of the wire being sure to alternate sides of the pink beads. Finish with a c bead. Thread wire through center hole of second strand spacer and glue and end cap on the end.
Thread second wire through one of the remaining holes of the strand spacer close to a pink bead. Thread on 1 c and pass wire through second hole of first pink bead. Then thread on 1 d, 1 c, 1 b, 1 c, 1 d and pass through third pink bead. The second pink bead will be threaded on the first strand. Continue adding the five bead pattern between the pink beads to the other end. Because there are an uneven number of pink beads you will end that wire with 1 c bead. Pass through the strand spacer and glue an end cap in place.
- For the remaining wire thread it through the strand spacer and pick up 1 d, 1 c, 1 b, 1 c, and 1 d. Pass through a pink bead. Continue around the bracelet. End with the five bead pattern. Pass through the strand spacer and glue on an end cap.
Note: The sample bracelet measures 7" and the instructions are written for that measurement. You will need to adjust bead amounts for smaller or larger bracelets. Beads will be referred to by the abbreviations given in the materials list.

On February 8, 2012, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued an OIG Alert warning physicians to exercise caution when reassigning their right to bill the Medicare program. According to the Alert, "[p]hysicians who reassign their right to bill the Medicare program and receive Medicare payments by executing the CMS-855-R application may be liable for false claims submitted by entities to which they reassigned their Medicare benefits." The OIG indicated that it had recently reached settlements with eight physicians who had allegedly violated the civil monetary penalty law by causing the submission of false claims for claims submitted to Medicare by physical medicine companies to which the physicians had reassigned their Medicare billing rights in exchange for medical directorship positions. According to the OIG, the physical medicine companies billed Medicare for services that were not actually performed or performed as billed. The physical medicine companies, using the physicians' reassigned billing numbers, falsely certified to Medicare that services performed by unlicensed physical therapy technicians had been performed or directly supervised by the physicians, when such was not the case.
The Alert states that physicians have an obligation to monitor billing and other records to ensure that claims using their reassigned provider numbers are billed correctly. The OIG noted that physicians who reassign their billing rights to an entity have a right to access the entity's billing and claim information for the services that the physicians are alleged to have performed.

The eFX Nautilus went on sale today. If you were at the D23 Expo, you may have seen it. It's amazing. Does anyone have any thoughts on it? I went to the site about six times today and ALMOST "pulled the trigger," but have to give it some more thought for $1,699 and the size. But, man, is it amazing.
I've seen it several places on the web, including here: 2009 Holiday Geek-Gift Guide, Part 3: The best presents for Trekkies, Jedi knights and fanboys | Hero Complex | Los Angeles Times
And of course Sue Kruse's column here:
MiceAge.com - A different look at Disney...
