Via Dan Barbarisi, Eric Chavez's injured foot isn't fractured, he just has a really deep bone bruise. The fracture doctors saw in the x-ray was an old fracture from when Chavez was a kid; apparently he had a condition in which he was born with fractures in both feet and had to wear casts as a child. It sounds weird but it happens, I was born with bone spurs in both my ankles for no apparent reason. I didn't have to wear casts though. Anyway, no fracture is good news, though Chavez is still 2-3 weeks away from rejoining the team,
Today in contract non-updates
As the 2011 season marches along, there's one gigantic elephant in the room that everyone's trying to forget about for the time being: CC Sabathia's opt-out clause. The Yankees' ace can skip out on the final four years and $90-something million dollars left on his contract after the season and hit the free agent market in search of greener pastures. Sabathia will be the best freely available pitcher by a mile, and the Yankees desperately need him to stick around.
Brian Cashman said yesterday that the team will not discuss a new contract with Sabathia during the season despite some obvious reasons why they probably should. This is not news though. The Yankees have a long-standing policy of not talking contracts until the current one expires, regardless of the player's status or importance to the team. In fairness, Cashman also stuck to the rule three years ago, when his contract expired and he didn't pursue some kind of extension beforehand. Barring a complete catastrophe, Sabathia will opt out because it's the smartest move he could possible make.
On the open market, CC is going to have a lot of leverage against the Yankees, and I mean a lot. An unprecedented amount, even. But the Bombers won't be completely handcuffed because only a limited number of teams can afford to give Sabathia the monster contract he'll be seeking, and at the end of the day absolutely no one can offer him more than New York. Sabathia has also said "I'm not going anywhere" while noting that he lives in the area year-round and that his kids go to school here. That's just a clever way of not saying he won't use the opt out though. So if/when he does bail on the rest of his contract, CC's choices will be a) come back to the Yankees on a new deal that will pay him handsomely, or b) take less money elsewhere and uproot his family for the second time in three or so years. And be hated by Yankees fans for basically the rest of eternity.
In other contract non-news, Hal Steinbrenner refused to commit to Cashman beyond this season, simply saying that the higher-ups will base the decision on more than just the team's performance this year. Cashman responded by saying nothing, almost literally: "Nothing to respond to." His latest three-year contract is up, and although he was more candid than expected this past winter, he and the Steinbrenners still have a strong working relationship.
The Sabathia opt out situation is sure to be messy, but I think Cashman's will be messier. I figure CC will return after using Cliff Lee's contract with Philadelphia (six years, $150M) as a starting point in negotiations (he's got a much longer track record and will still be younger this winter than Lee was this past offseason). Maybe he'll make all our hopes and dreams come true and decide not to use the opt out, but I would be stunned if that happened. Cashman has some leverage over ownership given the way they went over his head for Rafael Soriano and with Derek Jeter's contract, plus the fact that there's no ready-made, in-house replacement available. These decisions won't have to made for a few months, but ever so often reminders like this will pop up.
Filing Some Complaints
Games like last night's happen throughout the course of a 162-game season, but that doesn't make them any less frustrating. The Yankees are still in first place and (more importantly) still have the second best run differential (+39) in the league. It hasn't been pretty over the last few weeks, so let's break out the old complaint box…
That's what the Yankees are hitting with men in scoring position over the last two weeks or so, since the second game of the Detroit series*. I usually don't put an overwhelming amount of stock in performances with RISP since it's generally a small sampling of plate appearances (just 90 over that time, which is nothing in context of the entire team), but that doesn't mean the Yankees' failures in those spots don't drive me insane. Last night was the epitome of RISPFAIL, as they went just 2-for-16 with men on second and/or third and stranded 15 runners in 11 innings. Just awful.
A-Rod's Slump
The newer, slimmed down version of Alex Rodriguez was a monster at the outset of the season, hitting .385/.500/.821 with four homers in his first 13 games before missing one game and part of another with a stiff back/oblique. He just hasn't been the same since, hitting .194/.260/.269 in his 17 games back. The grand slam in his first game back against the Orioles seems like a distance memory. It's clear that Alex's timing is off at the plate; he's fouling off pitches he should crush and completely whiffing on others he should at least hit hard somewhere.
Other slumps of note: Robinson Cano (six for his last 30), Russell Martin (six for his last 40), and the year-long ugliness of Jorge Posada (.162/.273/.352) and Nick Swisher (.217/.336/.296).
David RoBBertson
I had some fun with David Robertson's knack for pitching out of other people's messes yesterday, but you know what? The guy has a serious walk problem. He's always been a little wild, sure, but this year he's unintentionally walked nine men in 14 innings (5.79 uIBB/9), and that includes eight walks in his last 5.2 IP. Robertson's walked at least one batter in his last six appearances after walking just two in his first ten games. Is it possible that warming up practically every game in April is taking a toll on his arm now? He's never been known as a control freak, but the sudden spike in free pass rate is a nice piece of anecdotal evidence. That leads me to this…
Innings Roles
I hate 'em. Mariano Rivera in the ninth? Perfectly fine with me, no issue there whatsoever. $35M setup man in the eighth? Fine, I can live with that. But having a designated seventh inning guy? Now we're really pushing the envelope of common sense. There needs to be more flexibility with Joba Chamberlain, David Robertson, and even Boone Logan in those spots, if for no other reason than to avoid wearing one or all of them out given all these close games the Yankees have been playing.
How many rundowns have we seen the Yankees botch this season, especially when pitchers are involved? Whatever the number is, it's too many. Rundowns have to be viewed as guaranteed outs, and they've not only failed to convert a number of them, but they've often ended up costing the team runs. We've also seen instances of pitchers forgetting (or being too lazy) to cover first base, or just muff balls grounded to their area. Did they just skip PFP in camp because four-fifths of a rotation is made up of veteran guys? Whatever it is, the sloppy play needs to be cleaned up.
* * *
These are just a few of the more … annoying aspects of the team right now, but there's certainly several others. Those include the heavy use of the sacrifice bunt, Buddy Carlyle's presence on the roster, Logan's general inability to get out lefties, Cano's hackiness, so on and so forth.
* Cherry-picking at its finest.

The Defense Question
Just to make sure this is perfectly clear right up front: defensive statistics for the 2011 season are a long, long, looong way from being reliable. The sample size, 30-something games for all teams, is just way to small for the data to mean anything right now. That unreliability is part of the reason why none of the advanced metrics agree on the Yankees' defensive performance.
The table above, screen cap'd from FanGraphs, shows the advanced defensive numbers for each American League team. I recommend clicking for a larger view, one that you can actually read. The Yankees are third in the league with a +8.6 UZR, meaning they've saved more than eight-and-a-half runs better than expected through 34 games. Aside from the outfielder's arms (ARM), they've been better than average on double plays (DPR), at ranging for the ball (RngR), and when it comes to making errors (ErrR). With positive production in three of the four components, it's no surprise their UZR ranks so high. Then why is their +3.9 UZR/150 just seventh in the league, right in the middle of the pack? It's just a sample size issue, these numbers are very volatile right now.
John Dewan's famed +/- system (DRS in the chart) says the Yankees are a dozen runs below average right now, fourth worst in the AL. Revised Zone Rating (RZR), which measures how many balls hit to a player's zone were converted into outs, says the Yankees are the second best defensive club in the AL at .858. RZR is used in conjunction with Out of Zone Players (OOZ), which is the number of balls hit outside of a player's zone that he turned into outs, but the Yankees are just sixth in the league in OOZ. DER is defensive efficiency ratio, and although it's not in the chart, it's easily calculated. It's just 1-BABIP, telling you how many balls in play are converted into outs overall, regardless of where they're hit. The Yankees are middle of the pack (ranking eighth in the AL, to be exact) at 0.716 DER.
Six different stats (though it's really four since UZR and UZR/150 go together, as do RZR and OOZ) giving us five different approximations about the team's overall defense. Some say it's great, others say it's terrible, others say it's middle of pack. But like I said before, it's just way too early in the season for these numbers to have any meaning. So the question to you is this: what is your take on the Yankees' overall defense this year? Is it good, bad, average, or something else? I think it's been slightly better than average mostly thanks to Brett Gardner, Curtis Granderson, Robinson Cano, Mark Teixeira, and Russell Martin (who's reminded everyone what defense behind the plate actually looks like), but that's just me. What about you?
Bunting is for Opening Day, the World Series, and interior decorators
Hat tipping both Tim Armstrong and Sean McNally for the title inspiration.
Last night's game was infuriating for many reasons. We could spend hours griping about every individual failure, but how productive is that? Instead, I want to examine one aspect of the game, one that has recurred many times this season. In a situation that did not call for it, the Yankees chose to sacrifice bunt. It's not the reason they lost the game; it actually ended up working. But in that specific situation, and in all situations from a general standpoint, sacrifice bunting does not represent sound strategy.
After blowing a one-run lead late in the game, the Yankees found themselves in extra innings. The Royals wasted little time in taking a 1-0 lead, which put the Yanks on the hot seat in the bottom of the 10th. It was hotter, still, because Joakim Soria was on the mound for Kansas City. In the past few years he has established himself as a premier closer, perhaps the best in the league after Mariano Rivera. But this year he has been hittable. It was clear from the first batter last night that he did not have his best stuff, as he walked Russell Martin on four pitches.
We all knew the sacrifice was coming. The Yankees have faced a number of situations this year where one run is of great benefit, and it seems as though Joe Girardi has deemed the sacrifice the correct move in every instance. Brett Gardner showed bunt on the first two pitches, but Soria missed with both. That was six straight balls. Even great pitchers have off nights, and the Yankees appeared lucky enough to catch Soria on one. So what did they do? They kept the bunt on, both on the 2-0 and 3-1 pitches. Gardner did get it down successfully, but to use the term success here is specious at best.
The problem with bunting in that situation starts with simple run expectancy. With a runner on first and no outs, a team has a 44.1 percent chance of scoring a run at some point in the inning. That's not win expectancy, or multiple run expectancy. It is single-run expectancy. With a runner on second and one out, the chance they'll score a run is 41.8 percent. The difference isn't huge, but it does exist. Here is the entire table, for reference, courtesy of Tangotiger (with a hat tip to Capitol Avenue Club, the best Braves blog on the planet):
This is based on historical data, so we do have the true odds of something happening. Of course, when you take the average you have data points both above and below the average. In other words, there are individual instances where having a runner on second with one out is better for a team than a runner on first and none out. It's up to the manager to pick and choose those situations and beat those odds. In this way I still see two issues with bunting here.
1) The Yankees had just three outs until death. This wasn't a tie game, where yeah, it still matters, but failing to score in the inning won't end the game. Either the Yankees scored or went home losers. Why, then, would you give away one of your chances when the odds say you have a worse shot in the new situation? Is Derek Jeter coming up with a runner on second and one out really better at this point than Brett Gardner batting with a runner on first and none out? I don't think that specific situation mitigates the diminished odds. Gardner is going better than most guys on the team right now. Let him hit.
2) It was predictable. Picking your spots means doing it sometimes and not others. Everyone at the Stadium and everyone at home knew the bunt was coming. That makes it seem as though Girardi thinks that bunting is generally a good strategy in that situation. History says this is not the case. Again, you can beat the odds if you choose your spots wisely. But if your strategy is to consistently bet against the odds, you're going to lose more often than not.
Of course, the bunt did work, in that Ganderson singled home Martin. Bad process can lead to good results, and even here the Yanks got incredibly lucky that Martin advanced to third on a Jeter grounder to short. There was no way Martin was scoring from second on Granderson's single. Not with how hard he hit it, and not on Francoeur's arm.
There is no reason to blindly hate bunts. There are situations when they can work out better than the alternative. But as a general strategy, history shows that they're not sound. When a bunt means giving away one of your three remaining outs, it's an even worse strategy. If Girardi is going to use it as an occasional ploy to gain an advantage, that's one thing. But if he's going to bunt in every one of these situations, it's quite another. The evidence is not on his side.
Yankees RISPFAIL their way to crappy loss
I don't want to recap this game any more than you want to read a recap of it. In hindsight, it was probably a bad idea to strand a zillion baserunners. Who knew? Seriously though, they went 2-for-16 (!!!) with runners in scoring position, leaving 15 men on base in 11 innings. The Yankees left two men on base in the third, sixth, seventh, and ninth innings, which is unfathomably bad. Too make matters worse, their pitchers walked (get this) eleven runners. The Yankees beat themselves, there's really no other way to put it. They squandered so many chances and made so many dumb mistakes (bunting when Joakim Soria had thrown one strike out of eight pitches? where's the common sense?) that they deserved to lose. Period, end of story.
So blame whoever you want, blame David Robertson, blame Joe Girardi, blame Buddy Carlyle. I blame the offense, but that's just me. Doesn't really matter though, just move on and forget about this mess. These two teams will play the rubber game tomorrow night, when Ivan Nova takes on Sean O'Sullivan. Here's the box score and WPA Graph if you're so inclined.

New details in a Wauwatosa police report show just how lucky the Milwaukee woman whose vehicle was struck by an oncoming train Oct. 9 was that she and her children walked away from the accident unharmed.
The CP Rail engineer told officers that the 4,075-foot long train had 74 loaded cars that provided an impact of 8,492 tons when it clipped the front of Tonya Swift's Chrysler Pacifica at 70th and State streets.
Swift, 29, stopped her vehicle past the white line by the traffic control signal about 3:30 p.m. She said she saw the crossing warning signals but thought she was far enough away from the tracks. Then the crossing gate came down and struck her car.
She said tried to back up, but couldn't move and could only watch the train approach and strike the left corner of her vehicle pushing it sideways into the crossing gate standards.
However, witnesses tell a slightly different story. The train engineer and the driver of the car behind Swift said there was room and time to back up, but that Swift made no attempt to reverse. The gate came down on the rear of the vehicle because it was so close to the tracks.
Gate arms weigh about 10 pounds and are designed to break if pushed, the engineer said. An inspection of the crossing equipment and railroad tracks showed no problems.
Swift was cited for driving around a railroad crossing gate. Her vehicle was severely damaged, but she and her two children, ages 7 and 6 months, were not harmed.

New report sheds doubt on Apple-Cingular iPhone rumorsCingular is expected to begin partnering with some of the biggest online music services, including Napster, Yahoo Music and eMusic, to launch a music service on its cellphone network that would work with cellphones that double as music players, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The move, which could be announced as early as Thursday (subscription required), sheds doubt on published reports that the No. 1 U.S. wireless carrier has agreed to an exclusive deal with Apple Computer to provide service for its upcoming iPhone.
Cingular's new music service will initially support transferring music from personal computers to cellphones using a cable, according to the Journal. But next year, the wireless provider is scheduled to add an over-the-air downloading component that will feature a menu item on compatible phones that will throw users into a virtual store (similar to the ones customers already use to buy ringtones).
The initiative by Cingular "sets the stage for a battle with Apple Computer Inc., whose iPod dominates the digital-music market," said the Journal. "Apple has sold more than 60 million iPods in the past five years and is rumored to be working on a combination music player and cellphone."
According to the publication, users will be able to transfer music acquired from "all you can eat" subscription services like Napster to Go, Yahoo's Y Music Unlimited or eMusic. Users will also be able to transfer songs ripped from CDs or downloaded in the MP3 and Windows Media formats.
"The Cingular service will include a feature called 'Music ID,' which will let a user hold his or her phone up to a speaker playing a song," the Journal said in its report. "It will then match the song against Napster's database and, if the song is available, offer the user the option to buy the song by clicking a link on the phone. The song will then be sent to the user's computer to be loaded on the phone later."

Ten park staff members worked in the dark to extricate the man from the formation, then wheeled him out in a litter to the trailhead. They reached the Gem Lake trailhead at about 3 a.m.
The man had numerous injuries including a serious leg injury, rangers said.
The man was taken by ambulance to the Estes Park Medical Center.

This is an excellent Moon photo!! . . .
I was pleased…. I shoot more rubbish of the moon, than good ones…. she's an elusive subject…. You should see what i went through to get this…. (and I haven't been able to do it since….)
I can imagine but whatever it took this photo was well worth it . . .
A lot of it was to do with a huge lens I was able to borrow from a Mate… It was shot in "RAW" also…..

Stunning capture.
outstanding example – better than anything I ever did and I made a sincere effort…

Shyam Sundar, Distinguished Professor of Communications and co-director of the Media Effects Research Laboratory, Penn State. "You are your Facebook, basically, and despite all its "socialness", Facebook is a deeply personal medium."People with lower self-esteem tend to be much more concerned with what others post about them on Facebook, while users with higher self-esteem spend more effort on adding information to their personal profiles on the social network, said Sundar.The researchers, who report their findings at INTERACT 2013 in Cape Town, South Africa, said that people with both high and low self-esteem spend time crafting their online personas on Facebook, but choose different paths in that construction. Individuals with higher self-esteem have a greater sense of agency and spend more time adding information about their family, education and work experience to their profiles, according to the researchers.Signs of low self-esteemUsers who have lower self-esteem continuously monitor their wall and delete unwanted posts from other users, according to the researchers.The findings may also lead to alternative ways to make money for online social networks, said Sundar, who worked with Jiaqi Nie, a graduate student in interaction science, Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea."The more you get connected to Facebook, the stronger you feel that the items you post – the pictures, for example – are part of your identity and the more likely you are going to view these as your virtual possessions," said Sundar.Because both groups of high self-esteem and low self-esteem Facebook users see the social network as an extension of their self-identity, they may be willing to pay for features on social networks, said Sundar. For example, social media and social media app developers may be able to attract paying customers with more customizable walls and profile pages.The researchers studied how 225 students from a South Korean university filled in their Facebook profiles and how the students edited material that friends linked to or posted on their walls.Participants answered a series of questions about whether they added information to 33 categories of personal data, including details about their family, work and relationships. The participants also reported on how frequently they updated and changed information on their walls.To measure self-esteem and self-monitoring, the researchers asked the participants to answer questions, including ones on self-worth and how they choose to present themselves in public.The researchers suggest that future studies may investigate how users of different psychological backgrounds take part in other social networking behaviours, such as how often they update photos and how they set privacy settings.

Hiding built-in apps on iPod touch
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I recently brought an iPod touch and was wondering if the apps that came with the iPod can be deleted through syncing new apps to the iPod. Also my iPod is 8G and that option isn't in your 'Select your model' listing.
- Emma
A: The short answer is no. You're pretty much stuck with the built-in apps unless you want to hack/jailbreak your iPod touch to get at the underlying operating system. However, since iOS 4 now allows you to organize your apps into folders, most users simply take those apps they don't use and dump them into a single folder to keep them out of the way. Some of the built-in apps like YouTube can also be hidden using the Restrictions option found under the General section in the Settings app.
Note that the "8G" that you mention refers to the capacity or size of your iPod touch, which would actually be "8 GB" for 8 Gigabytes. The "G" designation normally refers to the generation of the iPod touch, and at this point there have been four generations, all of which except the third were sold in 8 GB capacities—the 8 GB iPod touch sold alongside the 2009 third-generation (3G) models was actually still the 2008 second-generation (2G) model, which Apple simply continued selling.

Duckduckgo brags of post-PRISM user gains
Search is on the increase
PRIVACY AWARE SEARCH SERVICE Duckduckgo has enjoyed a spike in user numbers ever since the exposure of the PRISM and Tempora snooping programmes.
Duckduckgo said last summer that it had quickly seen a spike in the number of users, commenting that it was dealing with some 2.5 million direct searches a day. That was more than double the traffic it was handling before PRISM was revealed.
Then the firm said that "off-line word of mouth spread in reaction to the news" helped drive up traffic, and added that while other search alternatives might be open to snoopers, it definitely is not.
"We literally do not store personally identifiable user data," said Duckduckgo's founder and CEO Gabriel Weinberg. "So if the NSA were to get a hold of all our data, it would not be useful to them since it is all truly anonymous."
Interviews from that time could be aligned next to spikes in user traffic, suggesting that such comments from the firm were contributing to its gains.
This weekend it revisited its numbers, saying that by the end of 2013 it had dealt with over one billion search queries.
"In 2013, over one billion searches were made on Duckduckgo. Needless to say, it was a great year for us," it said in an online newsletter.
"We're looking forward to similar greatness in 2014. We have a lot of big things planned for this year that we hope will address a lot of the excellent feedback you have been giving us for some time. So please stay tuned." µ

World news
Anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd says it will expand its fleet to South Korea's coastal waters to prevent whaling in the region.
Ian Campbell, from the Sea Shepherd advisory board, said the inaction on whaling has forced the group to extend its activities from the Southern Ocean up to the coast of South Korea.
''We are going to have to find enough ships and enough money to head up to South Korea ... due to the Australian government's lack of action on this over the past three or four years,'' Campbell told the Seven Network in Australia.
South Korea announced plans to resume its whale slaughter at a meeting of the International Whaling Commission in Panama yesterday.
It will allow the hunting of minke whales in its coastal waters by exploiting the same legal loophole the Japanese rely on to conduct their controversial scientific whaling program.
New Zealand's Foreign Affairs Minister called the plan a "serious setback" in international conservation efforts.
"The portrayal of this initiative as a 'scientific' programme will have no more credibility than the so-called scientific programme conducted by Japan, which has long been recognised as commercial whaling in drag," McCully said.
McCully said he hoped South Korea's leaders would consider the concerns of New Zealand and other countries before making a final decision.
"Any action by Korea to commence whaling in these waters following today's announcement will have serious consequences," he said.
He said if they went ahead with it, "I believe there will be strong and public outcry around the world."
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she was disappointed by South Korea's surprise move and has instructed Australia's top diplomat in Seoul to lodge a protest.
But Campbell said it was ''too little and it's far too late''.
''This government, sadly for the whales of the world, effectively pulled up a white flag and entered a truce with the Japanese back in about 2008 when they decided not to have any more votes at the International Whaling Commission.''
While he said neither John Howard's government nor the current Labor government has been particularly successful, he had ''no doubt'' that had Australia maintained pressure on Japan, South Korea would not be planning to resume whaling.
Federal Employment and Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten said the government would be placing pressure on South Korea.
''The first step is what we said we were going to do, which is talk diplomatically and we can - if everything fails in the talks - take them to the international Court of Justice,'' Shorten said.

Upton Park
On Sky
It`s our second consecutive home match with Liverpool arriving at Upton Park for a clash to be televised live by Sky Sports. Hammers fans will be hoping that the TV cameras are a lucky charm and we can replicate our fine 3-1 win over Chelsea, this Sunday against Liverpool. It`d be great wouldn`t it!
Much of the talk this week has been about the possible move to the Olympic Stadium, with West Ham having been granted preferred bidder status. Talking about what it could do for the club, Big Sam pulled no punches when asked if West Ham could be bigger than the opposition this Sunday, Liverpool, remarking,
"Technically, yes."
"You have to judge a football club on its revenue and spending power."
"The Olympic Park has got a bigger facility and it could then create bigger revenues. If you increase your spending power then you increase the size of your football club."
Now that is food for thought!
Big Sam has a few injury problems to contend with. Definitely out through injury are Ricardo Vaz Te, Alou Diarra and Jack Collison. However, George McCartney and the ex-Liverpool player Yossi Benayoun are set to make a return.
Also out is Andy Carroll. Although Andy is injured, the fact that Liverpool are his parent club would have prohibited his participation in this encounter.
With Andy Carroll side-lined, Big Sam needs Carlton to produce the kind of performance he did last week, against Chelsea, every week.
Brendan Rodgers brings his squad to East London without Luis Suarez. The striker has picked up five yellow cards and will be suspended for this encounter. With Fabio Borini injured, this leaves Rodgers without a recognised striker to select from.
Steven Gerrard, who missed the midweek Europa League fixture, is set to return after illness.
The Liverpool captain, despite the advancing years, still has the capacity to influence matches.
Liverpool, as you`d expect considering their history, have the edge over West Ham when it comes to results in Premier League fixtures between the two sides. Of the 32 encounters Liverpool have won 19 and West Ham just 6
With Christmas approaching, both sets of supporters will be hoping for a decent win, albeit the ideal early present. Looking through the record books, West Ham`s biggest home win against Liverpool at Upton Park came in September 1930 when the Hammers won 7-0, whilst Liverpool`s biggest win came in the same month but in 1965 when they won 5-1 at Upton Park.
Referee - L. Probert Assistant - S. Beck Assistant - S. Child Fourth Official - M. Jones
The Premier League table doesn`t lie. It is perfectly correct when t shows us higher in the table than Liverpool, which is a measure of how far we`ve come and how far they`ve slipped.

WASHINGTON — Who needs leafy greens and carrots when pizza and french fries will do?
In an effort many 9-year-olds will cheer, Congress wants pizza and french fries to stay on school lunch lines and is fighting the Obama administration's efforts to take unhealthy foods out of schools.
The final version of a spending bill released late Monday would unravel school lunch standards the Agriculture Department proposed earlier this year. These include limiting the use of potatoes on the lunch line, putting new restrictions on sodium and boosting the use of whole grains. The legislation would block or delay all of those efforts.
The bill also would allow tomato paste on pizzas to be counted as a vegetable, as it is now. USDA had wanted to only count a half-cup of tomato paste or more as a vegetable, and a serving of pizza has less than that.
Nutritionists say the whole effort is reminiscent of the Reagan administration's much-ridiculed attempt 30 years ago to classify ketchup as a vegetable to cut costs. This time around, food companies that produce frozen pizzas for schools, the salt industry and potato growers requested the changes and lobbied Congress.
School meals that are subsidized by the federal government must include a certain amount of vegetables, and USDA's proposal could have pushed pizza-makers and potato growers out of the school lunch business.
Piling on to the companies' opposition, some conservatives argue that the federal government shouldn't tell children what to eat. In a summary of the bill, Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee said the changes would "prevent overly burdensome and costly regulations and ...provide greater flexibility for local school districts to improve the nutritional quality of meals."
School districts have said some of the USDA proposals go too far and cost too much when budgets are extremely tight. Schools have long taken broad instructions from the government on what they can serve in the federally subsidized meals that are given free or at reduced price to low-income children. But some schools have balked at government attempts to tell them exactly what foods they can't serve.
Reacting to that criticism, House Republicans had urged USDA to rewrite the standards in a bill passed in June. The Senate last month voted to block the potato limits in its version, with opposition to the restrictions led by potato-growing states. Neither version of the bill included the latest provisions on tomato paste, sodium or whole grains; House and Senate negotiators added those in the last two weeks as they put finishing touches on the legislation.
The school lunch proposal is based on 2009 recommendations by the Institute of Medicine, the health arm of the National Academy of Sciences. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said they are necessary to reduce childhood obesity and future health care costs.
USDA spokeswoman Courtney Rowe said Tuesday that the department will continue its efforts to make lunches healthier.
"While it's unfortunate that some members of Congress continue to put special interests ahead of the health of America's children, USDA remains committed to practical, science-based standards for school meals," she said in a statement.
Nutrition advocate Margo Wootan of the Center for Science in the Public Interest said Congress's proposed changes will keep schools from serving a wider array of vegetables. Children already get enough pizza and potatoes, she says. It also would slow efforts to make pizzas — a longtime standby on school lunch lines — healthier, with whole grain crusts and lower sodium levels.
"They are making sure that two of the biggest problems in the school lunch program, pizza and french fries, are untouched," she said.

Saint Baudolino (c. 700 - c. 740) was a hermit who lived at the time of the Lombard king Liutprand in Forum Fulvii (now Villa del Foro), a locality on the lower reaches of the river Tanaro in north-west Italy. He is said to have been the son of a noble family, but to have given all his wealth to the poor before moving to a miserable hut near the river. He is the patron saint of the nearby city of Alessandria, where his feast is celebrated on the Sunday following 10 November.
He is first mentioned in the Historia Langobardorum (English: History of the Lombards) which was written some forty years after his death by Paul the Deacon. Baodolinus is described there as "a man of wonderful holiness...who was distinguished for many miracles", and as having been endowed with the gifts of clairvoyance and prophecy. One specific miracle is recorded. When Liutprand is hunting in the forest near Forum, and his nephew Aufusus is accidentally injured by an arrow, the king sends to Baodolinus asking him to pray for the life of the boy. But the messenger receives the reply: "I know for what cause you are coming, but that which you have been sent to ask cannot be done since the boy is dead." Aufusus had indeed died and Liutprand understood that Baodolinus had the spirit of prophecy. Baudolino died around 740 and was laid to rest at Forum Fulvii.

We have been hearing a lot about the 18-year-old kid who was shot by a police officer in Ferguson. It seems as if all the blame is being placed on the policeman. But whenever we have these accounts either on TV or in the newspaper, we usually do not get the whole story. If the policeman did shoot the kid without cause, he should be prosecuted. However, it also seems that the black communities cannot accept the idea that the kid may have been somewhat to blame himself. It would be nice to learn the whole story.

In 2009 designer Gianluca Gimini started asking friends and strangers to draw a men's bicycle from memory. While some got it right, most made technical errors — missing fundaments parts of the frame or chain.
The exercise is similar to psychological tests used to demonstrate how little we know compared to what we think we do. However, for Gimini this isn't about proving how dumb we are but, rather, how extraordinary our imaginations can be! Having now amassed a collection of 376 drawings from participants ranging from 3 – 88 years of age, Gimini has started building realistic renderings of the bikes based on these sketches, in a 3D program.*

A play on the mightiness of words over weapons, Colorado-based artist Ravi Zupa's series of machine gun sculptures are made from staplers and typewriters picked up at estate and garage sales.
