Last-Minute Thanksgiving Tips and Tricks
Whip up a fabulous holiday feast in a hurry
By Elaine Magee, MPH, RD
Reviewed By Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD/LD
I don't know how this happens every year, but before I know it, it's the Tuesday before Thanksgiving! Suddenly, I'm stressing about how many side dishes to make, the appetizers that no one really needs, thawing the turkey, making pumpkin pie for the traditionalists plus "something else" for the dessert rebels ...
But remember, the important part of this holiday is enjoying the company of loved ones and taking time to reflect and be thankful. It's not about spending hours making countless Thanksgiving dishes.
You know the saying, "choose your battles"? It works for Thanksgiving dinner, too. When your time is limited, choose which dishes you want to make yourself and which you can pull together using convenient products from the supermarket.
Dressing Up Store-Bought Products
Here are some tips and tricks for dressing up store-bought products so that they'll taste and look special to your guests.
Mashed Potatoes
Add punch to frozen or boxed mashed potatoes by:
Stove-Top Stuffing
Instead of following the directions on the box, use 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine to saute some added vegetables (like 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup finely chopped celery, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, and 1/2 cup finely grated carrot). Then add the seasoning packet and 1 3/4 cups water and bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in bread cubes from the mix, cover and let stand 5 minutes.
Green Beans
Buy a bag of French-style green beans, and you're halfway to a side dish. Microwave them right before serving and dress them up in the serving dish with any or all of the following:
Pumpkin Pie
You have a few options here. You can buy a premade piecrust (available in the frozen food section or as foldable piecrust in the refrigerated section) and just whip up the pumpkin part. Or you can buy the pie already made at your grocery store or a pie shop, then dress it up with some fun garnishes. If you like to serve your pie with Cool Whip, buy Light Cool Whip and stir in a few pinches of pumpkin pie spice and a teaspoon or two of maple syrup.
Cranberry Sauce
Some people like cranberry sauce canned and jellied; others like the fancier types with whole cranberries and maybe flecks of orange zest or raspberry. If you're in the latter camp, cheat a little by warming up a can of whole cranberry sauce in the microwave (to soften it) then whisking in:
There are ways of making gravy quickly, by using products like bottled gravy or gravy packets. My guess is that the gravy packets taste best, because at least you are mixing it up the same day you serve it. The bottled gravy has one advantage, though -- you just heat and serve. It doesn't get much easier than that.
Jazz these up by sauteing some garlic, onion, and finely diced mushrooms or finely chopped cooked turkey (or turkey gizzards if you desire) in a nonstick frying pan with a little canola oil or cooking spray and adding this to the prepared gravy.
If this is not an area where you want to cut corners, make a tasty light gravy using the brown crusty particles at the bottom of the roasting pan (that's where the flavor is, anyway) with a minimum of the fat part of the turkey drippings, but most of the broth part. Cream up your gravy using a little fat-free half-and-half or low-fat milk.
Dress up heat-and-serve rolls with some flavored butters such as:

Kundalakesi en
Kundalakesi is a fragmentary Tamil Buddhist epic written by Nathakuthanaar. It is one of the The Five Great Epics of Tamil Literature according to later Tamil literary tradition, with the other four being Silappatikaram, Manimekalai, Cīvaka Cintāmaṇi and Valayapathi. The first mention of the "Aimperumkappiyam" occurs in Mayilainathar's commentary of Nannūl. However, Mayilainathar does not mention the names of the five epics. The names of the epics are first mentioned in the late 18th century - early 19th century work Thiruthanikaiula. Earlier works like the seventeenth-century poem Tamil vidu thoothu mention the great epics as Panchkavyams. Its time period has been estimated to be before fifth century C.E. [ - ]

Reviews for Ginseng to treat Herbal Supplementation
"I've been taking Siberian ginseng for a week three times a day as I am peri menopausal. I've been experiencing brain fog for nearly a year and complete lack of energy. Having done some research ginseng is recommended for these reasons when trying to tackle the dreaded menopause and I must say today is one of the first days I feel like my old self. I've also combined this with evening primrose oil 3 times a day and calcium supplements and I'm aware I'll probably have to do this for the remainder of my life but it's worth it to future proof my brain and bones and protect my family from my awful mood swings and depression! Definitely worth a try"

Would you put this note in one of your compositions?
Date: February 12, 2012
Views: 2119
British composer Paul Mealor has been advertising for a singer with a very low E in the locker. The note will be within range for some basses at least if you ask early enough in the morning. Listen to this clip for a demonstration.
The highest note in that clip is already in the range where composers start offering alternative notes for baritones. It is even possible to find entire bass parts that are two to three octaves above that lowest note. A greater number still only include the occasional low note at cadences. Parts centred on the 'middle' octave, the octave just above the highest note in the clip, with occasional notes higher or lower, are rare. A favourite example is the last verse of Edward Bairstow arrangement of Jesu, grant me this I pray, which is a chance for basses to enjoy being basses.
Very low notes disappear as the day progresses. They also become harder after singing anything at the very top of the bass register. I would suggest that composers wanting the lowest notes should be willing to let their basses off singing higher ones.
I am interested to find pieces that only ask basses to sing in their lower register. Is it even worth having a new keyword to distinguish them from standard bass parts? I like to think that there are choirs that have needed to promote all their baritones to cover the tenor line that would appreciate some repertoire without high bass notes. Have you written or arranged any pieces that way?
I applaud Paul Mealor's talent for publicity. Writing good music and attracting people's attention are two different though complementary skills. I speak to a lot of people that think his Ubi Caritas was well worth the attention it got. Just in case anyone wants to outdo him with an E flat, here is what it can sound like:
That one was unavailable almost immediately after I recorded it. That's probably just as well.
There's certainly something. Some recording devices start filtering out sounds around that frequency because they think it must be extraneous.
I think the lesson mght be that the lowest notes we can sing well every time are higher than the lowest we can ever sing well and higher still than the lowest we can ever sing at all. But then something similar is true at the high end as well. There's a good case for offering "ossia" if the only reason for omitting a preferred note is that you don't think every choir will have singers that can manage it.

HONG KONG: Individuals and parents, rather than fastfood retailers, are to blame for rapidly increasing rates of obesity in Asia, according to a survey by Universal McCann.
The Global Nutrition and Obesity Study, which polled 11,000 people in eight regional markets over two months, found that in almost every market, people felt that obesity control was a matter of personal responsibility.
These findings resemble those for a similar survey conducted by Universal McCann in the US. Of the eight countries surveyed - Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Taiwan - almost all see lack of exercise as being more to blame for obesity than eating too much. Only Japan differed, with a 50/50 split.
According to Universal McCann executive vice-president and regional director for Asia-Pacific Allan Medforth, the survey has significant implications: "It starts to ask a few questions on what people are looking for.
"It's all about meeting the consumer needs - what does the consumer now expect?"
Australia saw the highest proportion of respondents blaming fastfood retailers, at 10 per cent, compared to seven per cent in China.
The study also zeroes in on parental attitudes to obesity, which Medforth sees as being of crucial importance.
"It helps to understand how mums actually feel on (obesity) because they are usually the gatekeepers in terms of purchasing," he added.

THE TOPLINE: Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) scheduled a confirmation hearing next Tuesday for President Obama's pick to run the troubled Veterans Affairs Department.
Robert McDonald, an Army veteran and retired Procter & Gamble chief executive, will face questions over his plans for reforming the beleaguered agency amid a scandal over fraudulent wait times for patients and new claims the VA mishandled disability claims in a rush to reduce a backlog for benefits.
Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), the ranking Republican on the panel, said he was "ready to take up his nomination and move it and certainly don't see anything that should stand in its way."
The acting VA secretary, Sloan Gibson, though, will find himself on the hot seat Wednesday as he provides senators with an update on the agency's efforts to fix the scandal-plagued healthcare system.
Gibson's appearance before the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee will mark his first appearance on Capitol Hill since being tapped by President Obama to run the department following former Secretary Eric Shinseki's resignation on May 30.
Gibson will discuss the steps the VA has taken after investigations uncovered rampant manipulation of patient data throughout the agency's medical network.
Legislation to reform the VA, though, remains stalled as the House and Senate work to resolve differences in their two bills.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) accused GOP House members of holding up the talks.
"We're having a little trouble getting the House to help us complete the conference," he told reporters. "Just because we want something done when we're in conference doesn't mean it gets done."
Reid said that if negotiations go on much longer, the House "should just take what we've passed in the Senate. "
Lawmakers are divided over how to fund VA reform legislation, with senators wanting the bill paid for with emergency spending and House members demanding offsets.
House Veterans' Affairs Committee Chairman Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) hit back at Reid, accusing him of "purposely injecting politics into what has been a politics-free process until now."
"Conference committee negotiations are going well, and I remain confident we will reach an agreement soon. But the primary focus remains on getting the deal done right rather than getting it done by a certain date," Miller said in a statement.
NO F-35 SHOW AT FARNBOROUGH: The troubled F-35 Joint Strike Fighter will not make its debut at an international air show, the Pentagon announced Tuesday.
"While we're disappointed that we're not going to be able to participate in the air show, we remain fully committed to the program itself and look forward to future opportunities to showcase its capabilities to allies and to partners," Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said.
The Pentagon had grounded the entire F-35 fleet after an engine on an Air Force version of the jet caught fire when taking off on June 23.
Officials cleared the F-35 for limited flights on Monday night, giving air show attendees hope that the Marine Corps variant would show, but the Marine Corps commandant decided against it on Tuesday.
"When we operate aircraft, we look at many factors, to include operational risks, the weather, ground time, maintenance issues. All of these factors were weighed appropriately in making this difficult decision," said Kirby.
Kirby stressed that the Pentagon remained "committed" to the program, and officials expected to restore the F-35 fleet to full operational capability in the "near future."
"This by no means should signal any lack of commitment to the F-35 or to its future in the U.S. military or in those militaries of partner nations [that] want to purchase it," he said.
"It's the next-generation fighter aircraft, and we remain committed to that."
SENATE PANEL SAVES THE A-10: The A-10 "Warthog" received a new lease on life Tuesday when Senate appropriators allocated $338 million to maintain the attack aircraft fleet.
The move was part of a $489.6 billion defense spending bill proposed by the Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee. The bill also contains $59.7 million for overseas contingency operations, or war funding.
The Pentagon had proposed retiring the A-10 fleet, but subcommittee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said he had to evaluate not only the merits of the aircraft, but the "political realities."
"I think the A-10 is a great aircraft. There are those that disagree in the Pentagon. The sentiment among the members is very strong when it comes to the A-10," he told reporters.
The panel also allocated $848.7 million to refuel the Navy aircraft carrier USS George Washington, going against another Pentagon proposal to save money.
The bill would also keep Apache attack helicopters in the National Guard, instead of transferring them to the active Army, Durbin told reporters.
The committee also adopted a Pentagon proposal to only raise troop pay by 1 percent in 2015.
To pay for the programs, the bill proposed 517 specific cuts to programs for $11.7 billion in savings.
"It sets clear priorities, removes $11.7 billion in unnecessary funding and reinvests those funds where they are needed the most," Durbin said. "It also sets out to maintain the U.S. defense industrial base for the long term."
The bill heads to the full committee on Thursday.
-Will Pentagon need a funding stopgap?
-Border crisis puts strain on military budget
-Rep. Cotton: Stop firing soldiers in combat
-Kerry: Wide gaps persist in Iran nuke talks
-Civil liberties groups demand cyber veto

Compacting Databases Via Operating System
This Article Covers
Domino Resources - Part 3
We have a heavily used application which is also available on the web making it
hard to keep everyone out of the application when you need to compact the
database (Roll on R5). You can however compact a database using the ncompact
commmand with the notes server task shut down. On Windows NT run a command
window and go to the winnt directory (or wherever the notes.ini resides) type
the command ncompact.exe <database path and name> and press return. You can
also add switches to the command such as -m switch which I have used to
increase the database to the maximum quota size of 4Gb. Don't use quotes when
typing the command Eg: ncompact.exe doc/log.nsf -m
Monitor the progress of the compaction by opening explorer and watching the
.tmp file that the compact process creates. When finished the .tmp file becomes
the database and the original .nsf is deleted.

Has anyone used Rainbird's new 5000 series rotor sprinkler heads. Think they came out last winter. These are modeled after Hunter's PGP. Went to a Rainbird presentation today. Got some free sample heads. Being a curious one I came home and changed out a few pgp's in my yard and tested them. I was fairly impressed. Seems like they have more even distribution. It got dark on me before I could really make up my mind about them. Just thought I would throw this out to see if anyone had any good or bad experience with them.
Hey Earthworks I installed a few of the 5000 rotors a couple weeks ago. Over all I was pleased with them except for one thing. They come with that nozzle tree that has all those different nozzle that can be changed, but once you insert a nozzle in the head you can't get it back out without tearing it up. I called Rain Bird tech support and asked them how to get the nozzle out because I figured there was a trick to make pop out. Well there reply was "that's a good question" the best answer he could good give me was to put a screwdriver in the spray orfice and pry it out. He said he would pass the problem on to engineering.

Williamsport, PA: On May 10, 1953, police discovered that all 32 people that were in the Grand Hotel on opening night— including guests and staff – disappeared. They vanished without a trace; their possessions left behind. The city boarded up the hotel and swept the story under the carpet. It became an urban legend, a myth, and residents started referring to the property as "Hotel 32." In early 1993, the hotel was reopened and turned into a haunted tourist attraction. On April 10, 1993, three boys—Troy Belger, Rob Laden and Jacob Carr—spent the night in Hotel 32, Jacob Carr was never to be found again. On April 12, 1993, Detective Richard Kaminsky died while interrogating the two boys regarding their missing friend. Shortly after, the hotel mysteriously burned down and "Hotel 33" would become the center of a controversial haunted house tale for years to come.

Problems Down the Road? Howard Hopes Not
Ryan Howard has thought about the long-term prognosis about his balky left knee.
He tried his hand at gallows humor to discuss those concerns this afternoon at Marlins Park.
"I guess if I blow up, then I'd be worried about that then," he said.
Howard received a cortisone injection in his knee Sunday in Philadelphia. A MRI exam yesterday revealed inflammation and changes in the meniscus, which essentially means he has tears in the cartilage. That would be a concern for anybody, but considering Howard is in just the second season of a five-year, $125 million contract and $85 million of that is owed following this season, Howard's left leg problems carry a little more weight.
He said he does not know if the knee issue could require surgery following the season.
"I would guess that would obviously be worst-case scenario," he said. "But I mean, right now I think it's too early to tell."
Howard Is Back
Ryan Howard received a cortisone injection into his left knee Sunday in Philadelphia, but he is back in the lineup tonight against the Marlins in Miami. A MRI exam Monday revealed inflammation and changes in his meniscus. The Phillies said yesterday they were hopeful Howard would respond positively to the shot, although they could not be certain it would.
The Phillies face Marlins rookie Jose Fernandez tonight. He has thrown 13 scoreless innings in two starts against the Phillies this season. Can the Phillies finally find a way to score against him tonight? If not, the sad sack Marlins will win just their second series of the season.
Here is tonight's lineup:
- Jimmy Rollins, SS
- Chase Utley, 2B
- Michael Young, 3B
- Ryan Howard, 1B
- Delmon Young, RF
- Domonic Brown, LF
- Ben Revere, CF
- Erik Kratz, C
- Tyler Cloyd, P
Howard's Achilles and Knee Issues Related?
Ryan Howard missed much of last season following surgery to repair a ruptured left Achilles.
He then had a cortisone injection in his left knee yesterday in Philadelphia because of inflammation and changes in his meniscus. He is unavailable to play tonight against the Marlins, but the Phillies said he is day-to-day. They are hopeful he can avoid a trip to the disabled list. They also hope this is not the beginning of a trend of leg injuries for the $125 million first baseman, who has $85 million remaining on his contract following this season.
"Injuries are a part of the game," assistant general manager Scott Proefrock said. "That comes with the territory when you sign these guys. We have a bunch of pitchers on long-term contracts, too. It's just a risk you take. You never know what's going to happen. Chase (Utley) signed a seven-year deal and we lost out."
Howard had an MRI exam this morning in Philadelphia before joining the Phillies in Miami. Phillies head athletic trainer Scott Sheridan said Howard had symptoms in his knee for a couple weeks, but it was manageable. Recently, however, Howard told Sheridan the knee bothered him more.
Could the Achilles injury he suffered in Game 5 of the 2011 National League Division Series be related to the knee injury? It is common for pitchers to develop elbow issues because of shoulder and back issues. As a pitcher's mechanics get out of whack, it causes stress on other parts of the body.
It's Ohio Week In Philly
It's been a while, I know. I took a few days away from the blog to recharge the batteries. But it's back to baseball tonight at Citizens Bank Park.
This week is a good test for the Phillies. They went 4-3 in San Francisco and Arizona and return home to play five games against the Indians and Reds. The Indians outscored the Phillies in two games two weeks ago in Cleveland, 20-2. The Reds swept the Phillies in three games in April by a combined score 16-4. If my math is correct, that's zero wins, five losses, six runs for and 36 runs against. So I guess we'll see if that 4-3 road trip meant anything.
A few random stats to digest:
- From Elias Sports Bureau: Ryan Howard drove in the game-winning runs in the 10th inning Sunday. It's the 13th time Howard has had extra-inning go-ahead RBIs. The only active players with more extra-inning, lead-assuming RBIs are Raul Ibanez (16) and Placido Polanco (15). Adam Jones and Albert Pujols also have 13.
- I took a look in yesterday's Inbox at the Phillies' All-Star candidates. Interestingly, I found Chase Utley's .858 OPS best among NL second basemen. He's third in baseball behind only Ian Kinsler (.911) and Robinson Cano (.895). Among NL second basemen, Utley is first in slugging percentage (.514); tied for first in triples (two) and home runs (seven); second in hits (41) and RBIs (24); third in batting (.289) and on-base percentage (.344); tied four fourth in runs (21) and sixth in doubles (seven). There is no question Utley has been the team's bright spot offensively on a team that has struggled to score runs. (The Phillies' three losses in San Francisco and Arizona were by a combined three runs.) Where would this team be if Utley's knees were keeping him from the lineup?
- The Phillies are 12th in the league with a 4.11 ERA. Remove Roy Halladay and they have a 3.60 ERA, which would rank sixth. I've said this for a while, but I consider the complaints about the Phillies' pitching overblown. Halladay isn't the same and he might never be, despite his optimism. No matter who takes that fifth spot while Halladay is out (right now it's a four-man rotation), it'll be an improvement over his 8.65 ERA. And while the ERAs of Jeremy Horst (5.51 ERA), Chad Durbin (6.17 ERA) and Raul Valdes (7.00 ERA) are scary, we're not really pinning this team's record on three pitchers in the front of the bullpen are we? Typically those guys are pitching when the Phillies are trailing or when the starter has gone less than six innings (again, which means things probably haven't been going well). They aren't pitching in too many high-leverage situations. Clearly, they need to pitch better, but this team's problems fall mostly on the offense, which is 13th in the league averaging 3.54 runs per game. At some point this offense is going to have to get its act together or we'll be looking at a fire sale in July.
Brown, Howard Heating Up
There has been plenty of focus in the past 24 hours on the Phillies' pitching staff (and pitching coach), but I maintain the biggest reason for this team's losing is its struggling offense. They are averaging 3.7 runs per game, which is 11th in the National League and 23rd in baseball.
But a couple key bats have started to show a pulse, which could get the offense moving. Domonic Brown and Ryan Howard have homered in consecutive games. Brown is hitting .382 (13-for-34) with two doubles, three home runs and eight RBIs in his last nine games. Howard has four homers and 12 RBIs in his last nine. He also is hitting .348 (16-for-46) with five doubles, four home runs, 13 RBIs and a 1.090 OPS in his last 13. It goes without saying the offense stands a much better chance if these guys start producing on a consistent basis.
(Ah, for the days when fans complained the Phillies relied too much on home runs. They sure seem to like them now.)
The offense needs to continue to build this weekend against the Marlins. Yes, the Marlins are terrible, but the Phillies need some positive vibes before they fly to San Francisco on Sunday evening to open a seven-game road trip in San Francisco and Arizona. The Giants are 17-12, and tied for first in the National League West. The Diamondbacks are 15-14. Things won't be easy out there. If the Phillies move to .500 with a sweep of the Marlins or split the remaining two games to head West 15-17, it would be another bad sign if they limped back from the trip 2-5 or worse. At some point this team, if it's as good as it thinks it is, needs to go on a run. And that won't happen if they aren't hitting.
Long Overdue: Utley and Howard Split Up in Lineup
Charlie Manuel made a noticeable change to his lineup today at Citizens Bank Park.
He finally split up Chase Utley and Ryan Howard with right-handed-hitting Michael Young.
I think it was long overdue.
Theoretically, it should make life more difficult for left-handed pitchers. Utley entered the game against the Pirates hitting .125 (2-for-16) with one triple, one RBI, two walks and five strikeouts against lefties this season. Howard entered the night hitting .111 (2-for-18) with two doubles, one RBI, one walk and 10 strikeouts against them.
But their struggles against lefties are not coming from a small sample size. Utley has hit .197 with a .634 OPS against lefties from 2011-13. Howard has hit .199 with a .608 OPS against lefties in that span.
They essentially have been automatic outs against lefties for two-plus seasons. Young has not been much better this year, hitting .200 (3-for-15) against lefties, although he has a much more than respectable .832 OPS against them from 2011-13. But simply having a right-handed hitter between Utley and Howard will make opposing managers think a little more late in games. Before Wednesday, managers could just run a left-handed reliever to the mound to face Utley and Howard in succession. Now the lefty will have to face a right-handed hitter, or the manager has to remove him from the game, if he does not want him facing Young.
"I can see how that would be beneficial," Utley said.
It also makes perfect sense to keep this look against right-handed starting pitchers, too, but Manuel was noncommittal.
"I could," he said. "It depends how we match up."
He absolutely should use this look against right-handers, too. By having Utley and Howard hit back-to-back against a right-handed starter the Phillies essentially are banking on getting to the starter in the first five or six innings. If they don't, which often has been the case this season, things get easy again for the opposing manager late in the game.
Howard's Lefty Problems
Everybody knows Ryan Howard has struggled terribly against left-handers, especially opposing managers, who happily run a steady stream of them at him late in the game.
Howard has a mere .604 OPS against lefties from 2011-13, including a 1-for-15 effort with one double, one walk and eight strikeouts this season. His .604 OPS against lefties ranks 170th out of 178 qualifying players in baseball in that span. (Coincidentally, Jimmy Rollins' .605 OPS ranks 169th.) Howard also has nine home runs, 18 walks and 108 strikeouts in 283 plate appearances against lefties in that stretch.
So it made perfect sense to rest Howard against Cardinals left-hander Jamie Garcia tonight at Citizens Bank Park, although Charlie Manuel said Howard did not play because he has tightness in his right groin. Howard is day to day.
But Manuel also acknowledged Howard's struggles against lefties, when he said, "This is a good time, gives me a chance to sit him down. He can pinch hit."
Kevin Frandsen got the start at first base. It is his first start of the season, despite the fact he hit .338 with 10 doubles, three triples, two home runs and 14 RBIs last season, including a .400 (26-for-65) effort against left-handers. Maybe Frandsen can find playing time at first base when the Phillies face lefties.
It would make sense to rest Howard more against lefties. But if I were a betting man, I'd say Howard continues to get the majority of starts against them. He is making $20 million this season and $25 million in 2014, 2015 and 2016 with a $23 million club option or a $10 million buyout for 2017. The Phillies are thinking long game here, and that means keeping Howard an everyday player. But I think a happy medium can be reached. Manuel doesn't have to play him every game against lefties, but he also doesn't have to go into a straight platoon. It would be a good way to get an extra right-handed bat in the lineup, which the Phillies could use. They are hitting just .131 against left-handers this season.
Down Doc, Up Brown
The Phillies returned home last night, and most things in camp went well except for Roy Halladay. I don't include Darin Ruf here because I think people in the organization hoped Ruf would fare well in the outfield, although they did not necessarily expect it. And starting him in Triple-A isn't the worst thing in the world, nor is it a crushing blow to the team's chances. But Halladay's importance is obvious, and the fact he had so many issues and struggles leaves one enormous question mark on the mound.
I said a couple weeks ago I thought the Phillies would jump at the opportunity if somebody told them Halladay would finish 14-10 with a 3.80 ERA in 30-32 starts this season.
I believe that even more today.
I've never seen a premiere pitcher struggle like this in the spring. I mean, I've certainly seen great pitchers struggle in spring training before, but it never looked like this. He labored, he struggled to command his pitches, he lacked velocity, he didn't have a feel for his cutter, which has been a money pitch for him. But if you're an optimist, then you believe each of Halladay's explanations for his struggles following his last five starts. He mentioned "dead arm" March 6, when his velocity dipped for the first time. He said he felt lethargic March 12, when the Tigers battered him in 2 2/3 innings. An extra bullpen session in between starts, plus the rigors of a more intense workout program, sapped his energy, he said. He promised he would pull back before his next start and there would be improvements. But he suffered from a stomach virus March 17, and lasted just one inning against the Orioles. Then last Saturday in a minor league game against Toronto's Triple-A hitters, Halladay allowed 11 of 18 base runners to reach base. He blamed a "mushy mound" for his lack of velocity and said throwing more hard stuff against minor league hitters hurt him. Then yesterday he allowed two runs and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings against the Blue Jays with Toronto picking up three of those outs on the bases. He said he found it difficult to grip the baseball because the balls were not rubbed up with mud properly before the game. The Phillies also said he is still trying to recover his strength following his sickness.
Again, each of these explanations are completely plausible, but coming off last season's struggles it would unwise to take them at face value.
If the over/under on Halladay's ERA this season is 4.19 (average ERA for starters last year) I'd have to take the over.
Conversely, Domonic Brown has been Halladay's polar opposite. He has looked incredible this spring. I wrote earlier how Brown' spring training numbers could indicate a successful 2013. John Dewan said players that show a 200-point increase in their spring training slugging percentage from their career slugging percentage have performed significantly above their career marks in the upcoming season 60 percent of the time. Brown finished the spring with a .675 slugging percentage compared to a .388 career slugging percentage. That is a .287 difference, which puts him in that group. Like I wrote in my story, eight of the 12 Phillies previously on Dewan's list ended up surpassing their career slugging percentages during the regular season. Of the four players that fell short, two were not everyday players (Eric Bruntlett in 2009 and Pete Orr in '11) and one got injured midway through the season (Jim Thome in '05). Maybe Brown will make Dewan 9 for 13.
If the over/under on Brown's slugging percentage is .428 (average slugging percentage for outfielders last season), I'm taking the over.
Ryan Howard also had a great spring, compiling a .663 slugging percentage, but his career slugging percentage is .551 so he fell .088 short of Dewan's mark. But Howard's slugging percentage the previous two seasons is just .468, so maybe he is in line for a bounce back season, too.
Opening Day is three days away.
Predictions for Halladay, Brown and Howard?
Do Big Spring Training Numbers Matter?
Domonic Brown and Ryan Howard have been bashing baseballs since the Phillies opened their Grapefruit League schedule last month.
That's great, but does it really mean anything?
"It's good for someone who we think needs to show us something," Charlie Manuel said following today's 10-6 loss to the Twins at Bright House Field. "That's definitely good. But at the same time, when the season starts we're talking about two different seasons. But it is very encouraging when you see somebody swinging the bat like Brown. I've seen some real big improvement out of him."
But keep an eye on Howard, Brown and other Phillies hitters through the end of spring.
Particularly, pay attention to their slugging percentages.
Baseball statistician and author John Dewan found that players who beat their career slugging percentage by more than 200 points in Spring Training have more than a 60 percent chance at beating their career slugging percentage during the regular season (minimum 200 regular season at-bats and 40 Spring Training at-bats).
It is not a fail-proof predictor obviously, but it is something interesting to watch before the Phillies open the regular season April 1 in Atlanta. Consider for a moment that since Dewan started writing about his Spring Training predictor in 2005, eight of the 12 Phillies on his list ended up surpassing their career slugging percentages during the regular season. And of the four players that fell short, two were not everyday players (Eric Bruntlett in 2009 and Pete Orr in 2011) and one got injured midway through the season (Jim Thome in 2005).
Play Ball
The Phillies open their Grapefruit League schedule tomorrow against Houston at Bright House Field, and Chase Utley will be in the lineup.
Utley, who played in today's intrasquad game, will play in his first Spring Training game since 2010. He missed the previous two because of bad knees. Ryan Howard, who missed last spring following left Achilles surgery, also will be in the lineup.
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel's lineup looks like this:
- Ben Revere, CF
- Michael Young, 3B
- Chase Utley, 2B
- Ryan Howard, 1B
- Darin Ruf, LF
- Domonic Brown, RF
- Laynce Nix, DH
- Yuniesky Betancourt, SS
- Erik Kratz, C.

[July 16] State Department warns employees about new website highlighting Top Secret facilities. The State Department is bracing for a potentially explosive new feature on the Washington Post website that would publish the names and locations of agencies and firms conducting Top Secret work on behalf of the U.S. government, according to the copy of an email obtained by The Cable.
The Diplomatic Security Bureau at State sent out a notice Thursday to all department employees warning them to protect classified information and reject inquiries from the press when the new web feature goes live. "The Washington Post plans to publish a website listing all agencies and contractors believed to conduct Top Secret work on behalf of the U.S. Government," the notice reads. "The website provides a graphic representation pinpointing the location of firms conducting Top Secret work, describing the type of work they perform, and identifying many facilities where such work is done.
" According to the notice, the Post used only open-source information to compile its site. Here's the full notice: [July 19] Acting Director of National Intelligence, David C. Gompert, reaction to the Washington Post series. [July 19] Intelcrats' Awesomely Bad Pushback to 'Top Secret America' This, for instance, is how the top intelligence office responds to the "myth" that intel contractors perform "inherently governmental" activities: The Intelligence Community does not condone or permit contract personnel to perform inherently governmental intelligence work, as defined by OMB Circular A-76 revised, and reinforced recently in Intelligence Community Directive 612.
Core contract personnel may perform activities such as collection and analysis; however, it is what you do with that analysis, who makes that decision, and who oversees the work that constitute the "inherently governmental" functions. Allocating funds, prioritizing workload, and making critical decisions remain strictly within the purview of government employees. See? We're not hiring corporations to make the government run!
Then there's this attempt at contextualizing the volume of data collected: That sure sounds impressive. One more. I know. Credit: Air Force See Also: [July 20] Intel Chief: Don't Get 'Shrill' About Spooks-for-Hire. Some of America's spy agencies probably rely too much on outside companies.
But don't freak out about spooks-for-hire just because of a newspaper article or two, Director of National Intelligence nominee James Clapper told the Senate intelligence committee Tuesday afternoon. It's an understatement to say that the Washington Post's series on the sprawl of the intelligence community hung over Clapper's nomination hearing.
Most senators on the panel asked Clapper, the current chief of defense intelligence and decades-long intel veteran, about how he'd exercise control over one of its key themes: what Senator Olympia Snowe called the intelligence "mega-bureaucracy." But Clapper wasn't so thrilled with the series. "I think there was some breathless[ness] and shrillness to that that I don't subscribe to," he said, adding that he's "very concerned about security implications" after the Post revealed the (not-so-specific) locations of companies contracting with the intelligence community.

My Marchie is circumcised and his foreskin has been really dry and red for a week or so. He's not complaining, it just is obvious when he runs around the house naked (frequently!). This morning he woke up and there were a few red bumps on the stem (?) of his penis and it looked slightly swollen. I checked to see if a hair had accidentally wrapped around but there was nothing. He's not complaining of pain, can pee just fine. I rubbed some coconut oil (natural antibiotic and moisturizer) all over his penis twice this morning. He doesn't like it when I do that, but he tells me it doesn't hurt which I believe him.
He is potty trained except for night and nap. Either is pantsless or wears short or pants w/ no underwear.
Anyone dealt w/ something like this before? It looks like three or four dry, scaly patches of skin on the circumcised part and two red bumps (almost like angry pimples?) on the base or stem of his penis.
I know it would be helpful if I posted a pic BUT I might get in trouble for that! :)

Black carp
|Black carp
|Scientific classification
W. K. H. Peters, 1881
|M. piceus
|Binomial name
|Mylopharyngodon piceus
(J. Richardson, 1846)
The black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) or black Chinese roach is a species of cyprinid fish and the sole species of the genus Mylopharyngodon. It is native to lakes and rivers in East Asia, ranging from the Amur Basin, through China, to Vietnam.[1] It is widely cultivated for food and Chinese medicine. The black carp can reach up to 1.8 m (5.9 ft) in length and 35 kg (77 lb) in weight.[1] It generally feeding on snails and mussels. The average length is 60-120 cm (24-47 inches). Black carp, together with bighead, silver, and grass carps, make up the culturally important "four famous domestic fishes" used in polyculture in China for over a thousand years, and known as "Asian carp" in the United States. Black carp are not as widely distributed worldwide as the other three.
In China, black carp are the most highly esteemed and expensive foodfish among the four domestic fishes,[2] and partly because of its diet and limited food supply, is the most scarce and expensive in the marketplace.[3]
Black carp in the United States[edit]
The nature of the black carp's diet has led to its use in the United States in the control of snails in aquaculture. Snails are obligate alternate hosts of trematode pests that can cause substantial losses to aquaculture crops. Some state aquaculture laws require the carp to be bred as triploids, to render them sterile, and thus minimize the potential for the fish to escape and create self-sustaining populations. However, the use of triploids does require the maintenance and use of fertile diploid brood stock at least at some location, for production of the triploids.
No state allows the intentional release of black carp, sterile or otherwise. However, the United States Geological Survey reported seven confirmed black carp were caught in the Mississippi River basin. Rivers where black carp have been captured also include the White in Arkansas, the Atchafalaya and Red in Louisiana, and the Osage in Missouri. Some of the captured fish have been confirmed to be diploid and assumed fertile; one has been confirmed to be a triploid and assumed sterile. In Louisiana, many other reports by knowledgeable fishers of their capture have not been verified by biologists.[4]
Black carp are considered to be a serious threat to mollusks native to the United States, many of which are critically endangered. In 2007, the black carp was listed as an "injurious species" under the Lacey Act.[5] It is thus illegal in most cases to transport live black carp, whether sterile or fertile, into the United States or across state lines. In states where legal, black carp can still be possessed.

negotiations between the white house, the house of reps, and clown prince harry are nothing near like the attitude queen nancy had. I'm sorry you can;t see the difference.
I think you're confused on who believes in keeing the poor poor. The dems created an underclass who are dependent on the dems in the government to take care of them so they will vote to re-elect the dems. If the poor were able raise themselves out of their dependent nature, the dems would lose an important constituency.

I think the DSNews makes the titles change on purpose on this website.
On the general DSnews website the title is:
'GOP: New Obama budget-cutting offer too small'
And yet, when you click on the article it changes too:
'White House agrees to $6.5B more in budget cuts'
Which is it?
Here's my response to the GOP complaints about debt...
*'Bush Administration Adds $4 Trillion To National Debt' - Posted by Mark Knoller - CBSNews - 03/04/10
'With no fanfare and little notice, the national debt has grown by more than $4 trillion during George W. Bush's presidency.'
In case you were not aware, that is double what the debt was previously.

@Lost in DC: I actually agree with your last sentence, but please explain how the poor can "raise themselves out of their dependent nature" without a little help. We can argue until we're blue in the face about who wants the poor to be poor, but they cannot overcome what they do not have without a little help. I believe if you and I were to sit down and talk about this - can't be done through a limited forum like this - we would actually agree about what the final outcome needs to be for the poor, which needs to included taking away entitlements at some point. However, it is not a problem that can be solved overnight; and taking away what little they have now is not a good solution. There is no American dream for the poor, and that needs to change. By the way, I am about as liberal as they come - I know it's hard to believe - but I would agree that the poor are typically more prone to vote for the dems. However, I would probably disagree as to your theory as to why that is so, all the way back to slavery.

A Cornish Vessel from Farthest Kent
Gibson, Alex, MacPherson-Grant, Nigel, Stewart, Ian, Antiquity
During excavations by the Canterbury Archaeological Trust on behalf of Kent County Council Highways department in advance of the proposed A253 road improvements at Monkton, Thanet, prehistoric burials and ritual monuments were discovered in three main groups [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED]. Within these three cemeteries were 10 ditched barrows, as well as a number of other prehistoric burial features (Stewart in prep.). Ringditch X, located in Barrow Cemetery C, to the eastern end of the development (NGR TR304657), appeared to comprise a single-phase monument consisting of a continuous ring-ditch within which lay a severely plough-truncated cremation burial associated with Deverel-Rimbury pottery.
The sub-circular ring-ditch had an inner diameter of 9 m. It survived to a depth of I m below the present surface of the chalk; the ditch had an upper width of 2 m and a lowermost width of 0.12 m. The lowest fill of the ditch comprised a primary deposit of discoloured chalk-dust silting. Above this, occupying the lower third of the ditch, was a loosely packed layer of chalk fragments eroded from the side of the ditch. The upper two-thirds of the ditch silts comprised a layer of compacted brown silts with chalk fragments and above this, sandy brown loam with chalk flecks. These latter layers represent the final slow silts of the ditch.
In the eastern arc of the ring ditch, immediately above the primary silts and below the loosely packed chalk fragments, lay the crushed remains of two-thirds of a Trevisker Urn, the spectacular find which is the subject of this report [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 2 OMITTED].
The vessel's form, decoration, strap cordon and internally crossed base clearly place the vessel in the middle Bronze Age Trevisker tradition of southwestern Britain. Petrological analysis (by Alan Vince) has confirmed the writer's macroscopic identification of a Cornish clay source and this petrology, combined with the style of the vessel, leaves little doubt that this pot was imported to Kent from the southwest peninsula. At 60 cm high and with a rim diameter of 27.5 cm, this barrel-shaped vessel would have had a capacity of over 30 l (c. 7 gallons). Its style must have been unusual to the prehistoric population of Thanet and, when taken with the size and fineness of the vessel, this pot must have been a prestigious item.
Around two-thirds of the vessel survive but the breaks appear fresh and suggest that the vessel was only recently broken prior to its deposition. The fabric averages 8 mm thick, it is hard and well-fired and the patchy black/ grey-brown surfaces have a pink core. Both surfaces are well-finished with traces of burnishing marks and there are large arcs of concentric finishing scratches on the interior. Traces of ring or coil joins may be seen in the fabric breaks. The outer surface bears carbonaceous encrustations and has horizontal burnishing marks particularly on the rim and around the cordon.
The rim is everted, externally rolled with a flat, undecorated internal bevel 30 mm wide. A large applied strap-cordon 35 mm wide overall is located c. 130 mm below the rim. The cordon, which is particularly burnished, stands 3-4 mm proud of the underlying vessel surface. The vessel's outer surface is particularly carbon-encrusted on and below this cordon and is currently undergoing absorbed residue analysis by Dr Richard Evershed at Bristol University. Fingernail marks above the cordon represent marks resulting from the application of the feature; they have been burnished over but imperfectly erased.
The neck of the vessel between rim and cordon is decorated with 1.5 lines of deep and well-defined herring-bone incision. The lines start with a top-left to bottom-right diagonal slant and are all broad and shallow with internal scratch lines visible in the bases of the incisions. A large applied cross-rib is located on the base of the urn. Like the outer cordon, this has been applied. …

Staying in the current library building for the next 10 or 20 years will require significant repair and maintenance to the current building. This document summarizes our investigation into the cost of simply maintaining a library at the current site. As detailed below, the result of this cost turns out to require a substantial reduction in what we presently offer, due to accessibility permitting requirements.
We asked an architectural firm, Johnson Roberts Associates, to estimate the cost of repairing and maintaining the current library building. We also have a description of each repair item. The problems go back to 2005, as shown in this earlier report of the building's systems.
In the updated estimate, we asked the architect to divide the costs into three categories: essential repairs, modifications for accessibility, and basic maintenance.
The first category is essential repairs. These are generally structural problems that involve safety or where a failure to address them will result in bigger problems. In 2011, the cost for these repairs was estimated at $3.35 million.
The second category concerns accessibility. If the total cost of repairs in a 36-month period exceeds 30% of the assessed value of the building, we are required by the state Architectural Access Board (AAB) to make the building fully accessible. This is required to get a local building permit to do the repairs.(Details are available at the AAB web site, specifically section 3). We should, but perhaps would not, do this work otherwise.
The assessed value of the building is $6.4 million, so the 30% threshold is $1.9 million. Mandatory repairs easily exceed that amount, so it seems that we must make the building accessible if we do the repairs needed to stay in the building. The cost of AAB repairs is estimated at $1.13 million.
Unfortunately, our current bookshelf configuration does not meet AAB requirements. Getting a permit, if AAB accessibility requirements are imposed, would require that we reconfigure our shelving and, as a result, lose about 30% of the open space in the library. This will result in a significant reduction in programs, reading areas and space for materials.
The cost of expanding on the current site to avoid this reduction in space has also been studied before. It would be more efficient to tear down and rebuild on the current site than to renovate and add on to the new building due to site restrictions. The earlier study materials are available at this link.
The last category is basic maintenance. These problems can be put off, but will require replacement or updating if we are to continue to have a livable library. This includes repairing the front steps, and replacing 20-year-old carpeting and asbestos floor tiles. The cost of these repairs is estimated at $2.34 million.
The cost estimates are based on the minimum work to address currently identified problems. For example, due to low space in the ceilings and the concrete floor, HVAC replacement will continue to be a patchwork of small and large units, instead of a central system. There is no contingency for problems that arise for systems that the study did not identify as already past their useful life but which could nevertheless fail.
The cost is estimated at between $4.4 million (for repairs and mandated AAB modifications) to $7 million (including minimum maintenance). This is not an estimate for a renovation, but for simple repair and maintenance on a building that is now 50 years old, without updating along the way.
The result of this work will be updated infrastructure with 30% less usable space.

The partnership, known as Philadelphia Entertainment and Development Partners, proposes building a $300 million casino on a vacant, 16-acre waterfront parcel east of Christopher Columbus Boulevard between Tasker Avenue and Reed Street. The facility would open with 3,000 slots, restaurants and entertainment venues and could eventually expand to accommodate 5,000 machines and additional retail outlets.
The tribe's commercial expansion entity, Foxwoods Development Co., announced Wednesday that the partners had submitted an application to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. The board is set to issue 14 licenses, including the two in Philadelphia, that will enable gaming operators to install some 61,000 slot machines throughout the state.
Some of the Mashantuckets' partners have agreed to donate their share of profits to charity in a unique arrangement they hope will win them favor as they vie with at least four major gaming operators for the coveted licenses. The Mashantuckets, who are seeking to diversify beyond their gaming empire in southeastern Connecticut, would manage the casino in exchange for 30 percent of profits.
In addition to Jones, the partners include Billy King, president and manager of the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association; developer Peter DePaul; former Philadelphia Phillies centerfielder Garry Maddox; Atlantic City racetrack owner Robert Levy; Temple University women's basketball coach Dawn Staley; local attorney and businessman Fred Tecee; A.J. Agarwal, a senior managing director of The Blackstone Group; Sylvia DiBona, wife of the late Blue Cross executive Fred DiBona Jr.; and local businessman Alan Steinberg.
The licensing application filled 40 binders, said Gary Armentrout, chief development officer for the Foxwoods Development Co. He said the company has been looking at sites and talking to potential partners for the past 14 months. Pennsylvania authorized the slots last year and expects to issue licenses –– at a cost of $50 million each –– next summer. Wednesday was the postmark deadline for applications.
The Gaming Control Board was not releasing applicants' names Wednesday, but industry observers said some of the other applicants for Philadelphia slot licenses include Trump Entertainment, Midwest Gaming and Entertainment, Pinnacle Entertainment and a consortium headed by Planet Hollywood.
Armentrout said the Mashantuckets decided on the partnership based on the strength of the local partners and the site, which was once targeted by Caesars' Entertainment for a riverboat casino.
"We would not be involved unless we thought the partnership, the site and our association with this project would be successful, and if we didn't think the facility would be profitable," Armentrout said.
After paying the state tax of 54 percent and operating costs, the local partners would take 70 percent of profits. More than 60 percent of that would be held by a consortium of not-for-profit charitable groups, including the Rubin Family Charitable Foundation, the Silver Family Charitable Foundation and Ed Snider, chairman and part owner of Comcast Spectacor, whose holdings include the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League and the 76ers.
"That's part of the reason we were interested in this project," Armentrout said. "Our partners' primary motivation for entering into this development is philanthropic. They have committed in our partnership agreement and in the application they have filed today to contribute the majority of their profits in this operation to local charities."
Armentrout said the Mashantucket Pequots, owners of Foxwoods Resort Casino, have the gaming know-how to make it work.
"We believe with our expertise in operating the world's largest slot floor, we certainly have the people and the procedures in place to operate a 3,000-slot facility," he said.
Connecticut's other gaming tribe, the Mohegans, jumped into the Pennsylvania gaming market soon after slot machines were authorized last year. The tribe purchased the Pocono Downs harness racetrack and five off-track betting facilities in October 2004 and had hoped to be operating a temporary slot facility by now. The tribe is investing about $500,000 in the out-of-state venture.
Pennsylvania's newly minted gaming board has encountered delays, and spokesman Nick Hays said Wednesday that the summer of 2006 is the earliest possible date for awarding slot licenses. The Mohegans have an option to terminate the $280 million agreement to purchase Pocono Downs from Penn National Gaming if licenses are not granted by July 1.
The tribe is not likely to make a decision until the termination date is imminent, according to William Velardo, chief executive of the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority.
"We're still hopeful that conditional licenses may be awarded as early as June," Velardo said. "We probably won't make a decision until that time."
The gaming board is deadlocked over whether to issue regional or statewide licenses to the local distributors who will serve as the middlemen between slot manufacturers and casino operators. The distributor licenses must be in place 90 days before conditional licenses are granted.
"We believe this is the last hurdle," said Robert J. Soper, president and CEO of Pocono Downs. "If they can clear the supplier hurdle it will clear the way for them to start issuing these gaming licenses."
Meanwhile, the Mohegans are working on the first phase of improvements at Pocono Downs and are on schedule to complete the project in the spring, Soper said. Article UID=8917c7e6-3c90-4868-a8fd-5838882b418b
