On the surface, the A's and Tigers are similar ballclubs. They are two teams which have built their pitching staffs through their system and through trades and have built their offense around a few veteran pick-ups and some homegrown players. They both play defense well. They both have deep pitching staffs and solid bullpens. Neither team runs particularly well or all that often.
However, if you dig a little deeper, you find a lot more differences between the A's and Tigers. The Tigers got the season off to a blistering start and struggled down the stretch, losing the division title on the final day of the year. The A's started off the season slowly, but posted the best record in baseball for the second-half of the season, overtaking the Angels in August and never looking back on their way to the AL West title.
The Tigers are a free-swinging team. On the season, they walked 430 times and shortstop Carlos Guillen was their team leader in walks with 71. The A's, on the other hand, are a very patient club, having walked 650 times. Oakland had three players with more than 80 walks this season, and first baseman/left fielder Nick Swisher led the team with 97 bases on balls.
The Tigers may not walk that much, but they do know how to score runs. They averaged 5.07 runs per game this season, as compared to the A's average of 4.75 runs a game. Detroit may not have a ton of recognizable sluggers in their line-up, but they do hit a lot of homeruns, blasting 203 during the regular season to the A's 175 homers. The Tigers had eight players with double-digit homerun totals. The A's had six.
The Tigers, like the A's, tend to play a station-to-station game. The Tigers stole 60 bases this season and were caught 40 times. Lead-off man Curtis Granderson was the only Tiger with double-digits in stolen bases, having swiped 20. The A's swiped 61 bags in 81 chances, with catcher Jason Kendall and right-fielder Milton Bradley leading the way with 11 and 10 stolen bases, respectively.
Both Oakland and Detroit are good defensive teams, although the A's had the statistical edge this season, committing only 84 errors to the Tigers' 106. The A's infield defense will be hampered during this series, however, as Mark Ellis will be out for the remainder of the playoffs with a broken finger. Ellis set a record for the highest fielding percentage for any second baseman in major league history this season with a .997 mark.
Where Detroit and Oakland really excelled this season, however, is with their pitching staffs. The Tigers out-classed everyone in the American League this season in team pitching, posting an AL-best 3.85 ERA. Their staff was led by rookie Justin Verlander (17 wins), veteran Kenny Rogers (17 wins and 200 innings) and youngster Jeremy Bonderman (200 Ks in 214 innings). Fourth starter Nate Robertson (who is the likely Game 1 starter for Detroit in this series) was one of the toughest starters against left-handed hitters this season. The Detroit bullpen was a strength, led by fireballer Joel Zumaya and veteran closer Todd Jones. Fernando Rodney and Jamie Walker also had very solid seasons for the Tigers out of the bullpen.
The A's are very familiar with Rogers, Bonderman and Robertson, having faced them numerous times over the past few years. Rogers famously "owns" opposing teams when pitching in the Oakland Coliseum. The former A's left-hander was 2-0 at the Coliseum this season, although he did give up seven runs in 13 innings. He is 25-4 in his career at the Coliseum with a 3.46 ERA. Rogers is expected to pitch Game 3 of the series in Comerica Park, but he could be the Game 7 starter for Detroit, a game that would take place in Oakland.
Bonderman is a former A's first round draft choice who was traded to Detroit in 2002 as part of the Ted Lilly deal. A friend and former roommate of the A's Rich Harden, Bonderman has been quoted in the past as saying that he gets particularly pumped up when facing the A's. The A's saw Bonderman only once this season, and he received a no-decision in a game during which he allowed three runs in seven innings. He struck out only one batter in the game. For his career, Bonderman is 3-3 with a 3.77 ERA in seven career starts. He has walked 21 and struck out 19 in 43 innings in those seven starts.
The A's saw Robertson twice this season. He went 1-1, allowing nine runs in 14 innings. For his career, Robertson is 2-2 with a 5.46 ERA in four starts versus Oakland. The A's have seen Verlander only three times. In his two starts versus Oakland this season, Verlander was solid, going 14 innings and allowing only four runs. For his career, he is 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA in three starts versus the A's. Nick Swisher has hit him particularly well, homering twice in six at-bats.
On the flip-side, the A's counter with a similarly deep starting pitching rotation that starts with former Cy Young winner Barry Zito and will follow with Esteban Loaiza, Dan Haren and Rich Harden. The A's finished fourth in the AL in team pitching this season with a 4.22 ERA, despite missing team ace Harden for much of the season and Loaiza for a portion of the first half. The A's bullpen is deep and well-rested, having only worked eight innings during the ALDS. Closer Huston Street has had an up-and-down season, but he saved two games in the ALDS and was on the mound in the third game to seal the A's 8-3 win. Justin Duchscherer was the A's best reliever this season and the set-up man worked four outstanding innings during the ALDS. Oakland will need to get solid performances out of Kiko Calero and Joe Kennedy in this series, as well. If any of the A's starters falter, Joe Blanton and Kirk Saarloos will be available for long relief.
Zito tends to thrive against aggressive ballclubs, so it is no surprise that he has had a lot of success against the Tigers throughout his career. He held Detroit to one run on three hits in seven innings in his only start against them this season and he has a 2.28 ERA lifetime against the Tigers. Zito did walk four in his start against Detroit this year and walks have been a problem for him all season.
Loaiza was awful against the Tigers in his first outing against them this season, allowing eight runs in three innings. He was much better the second time, limiting Detroit to three runs in six innings. During his career, Loaiza has generally pitched well against the Tigers, going 11-5 with a 2.96 ERA. He was also much better at home this season (3.71 ERA) than on the road (6.08 ERA), and his first start should come at the Coliseum on Wednesday.
Haren was also inconsistent against Detroit this season. In his first outing, he allowed seven runs in six innings. In his second start against the Tigers, he was terrific, allowing only one run on four hits and walking none in seven innings. Haren has struggled down the stretch. His September ERA was 5.80 and he has been allowing a lot more hits than usual for him during that stretch. In his ALDS start, Haren was consistently working out of trouble, as he allowed nine hits in six innings, but he was able to keep the damage to just two runs. He could be vulnerable to a Detroit team capable of putting a lot of balls in play.
The A's fourth starter is their biggest question-mark and their most talented hurler. Rich Harden has missed virtually the entire season with injuries. He had two impressive outings after his return from the disabled list in mid-September, but then was very erratic in his last outing on the season's final day. He wasn't needed in the ALDS because the A's swept the series and it is still unclear which Rich Harden will show up in Game 4. He has been working on his mechanics and was scheduled to throw a game at the A's Instructional Leagues today. Harden didn't face Detroit this season, but in his career he is 3-1 with a 3.70 ERA.
Three Keys:
For Detroit:
1) Don't Be Aggressive. The Tigers must fight themselves a little bit and try to work the count against the A's pitchers. Oakland's middle relief could be vulnerable in this series, especially since the A's middle relievers haven't pitched in over a week.
2) Work Overtime. The starters must give Detroit a lot of innings. The Detroit starting staff has been good at working late into games this season, and they'll have to continue to do so. The A's have been good at getting to their opponents' middle relief all season. If Detroit can go right from their starter to Zumaya and Jones, they will be much better off than having to rely on Jason Grilli and company in the middle innings.
3) Get Ahead. Verlander and Bonderman need to stay in the strikezone. Bonderman, in particular, was effective at throwing first strikes against the Yankees in the ALDS. Both pitchers can be vulnerable to occasional wildness and the A's will exploit that if they aren't hitting their spots. If they are, watch out.
For Oakland:
1) Flank Frank. This was a key for the A's in the ALDS, too. Oakland must do a good job of protecting Frank Thomas in the line-up. The A's got production from their third and fifth spots only in Game 3 against the Twins. They won't be able to beat Detroit if that happens again because the Tigers aren't likely to pitch to Thomas if Eric Chavez and Milton Bradley aren't producing.
2) Minimize the Damage. The Tigers tend to collect hits in bunches, especially against the A's. A's starters can't give away any free passes or the base-runners are going to add up in a hurry. Most of the A's starters have been good at working out of trouble this season. They'll need to continue to do that in this series. The A's will also need to figure out how to get out Placido Polanco. He is a sizzling 33-67 lifetime against Oakland.
3) Defend Second. The A's lost arguably their best defensive player when Mark Ellis went down with a broken finger. D'Angelo Jimenez will have big shoes to fill in the field at second. He needs to make the routine plays and be ready to turn the double-play. The A's led the league in double-plays this season, and they'll need to turn their share in this series with Detroit likely collecting a lot of hits.

MOBILE, Alabama – Jarrod Taylor will continue his long wait on death row after an Alabama Supreme Court ruling on Friday.
Taylor, who killed three people execution-style at a midtown car dealership in 1997, had petitioned the high court to review his records in the hopes of a new trial, but the request was denied. He has been on the Holman Prison death row in Atmore for about 16 years.
Taylor was convicted of triple murder stemming from a burglary-gone-wrong at Steve Dyas Motors on Dec. 12, 1997. According to trial testimony, he and co-defendant Kenyatta McMillan were enacting a plan to rob the dealership when Taylor put a .380-caliber pistol to the heads of Steve Dyas and Bruce and Sherry Gaston and pulled the trigger.
The victims were screaming, crying and begging for their lives when Taylor killed them, according to McMillan, the prosecution's key witness. By testifying, McMillan avoided a possible death sentence, and was instead sentenced to life without parole.
Taylor's attorneys maintained their client was not the one who shot the victims. Dyas was the co-owner of the Government Boulevard dealership and had recently hired Sherry Gaston as a salesperson. Her husband, who was also shot in the chest, was an automobile wholesaler.
According to McMillan's testimony, Taylor "straddled" each victim on a hall floor at the dealership and shot each of them in the left side of the head. The three had planned on attending the company Christmas party hours later.
Taylor and McMillan took wallets from the two men and a purse from the third victim before fleeing in a stolen Ford Mustang convertible. They were apprehended the next day in the car by Selma police.
Taylor reportedly begged for his own life during his trial.
Since he was convicted, the Criminal Court of Appeals has denied Taylor's appeal, and the U.S. Supreme Court turned down his petition.
In denying Taylor's writ of certiorari on Friday, justices Main and Wise recused themselves, while the remaining justices concurred.

Jaguar is launching its most economical model ever manufactured, a 2.2 litre turbo diesel XF sports sedan.
At $90,000 the XF 2.2D Luxury provides the entry to the XF model range which has three diesel and three petrol engine variants in 2012.
"This is the best entry price we have ever offered into the XF range," said Jaguar New Zealand's Brand Manager Paul Ricketts. "And with a comprehensive specification and great fuel economy it is a compelling package."
"Our five other models offer various performance and luxury options at different price points," he said. "Compared to our German rivals, Jaguar makes a lot of sense in 2012 and you get a beautiful, fast, refined sports sedan."
The XF 2.2D does not skimp on luxury features, with full leather upholstery and electrically adjustable front seats, and electrically adjustable steering column, xenon headlights, keyless entry and start, Bluetooth, iPod, MP3 and USB connectivity, satellite navigation, rain sensing wipers, rear parking aid, six air bags and traction and dynamic stability control.
This new XF model also has the same revised features that all other models in the XF range have gained with new exterior styling echoing the XJ. Revised automatic levelling Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, a bigger bonnet power bulge, a larger more upright and aggressive grille, new side power vents and new panels forward of the A pillar complete a comprehensive facelift of the front of the 2012 XF.
At the rear there are full LED tail lights which extend onto the boot lid which now has power closing. New paint colours and 17 inch alloy wheels complete the package.
Inside all new XFs have improved seats offering more support, the same 7 inch touch screen with DVD operation as introduced recently on the larger XJ luxury sedan, new instrument panel and satin rosewood veneers as debuted on the C-X75.
While producing an overall fuel consumption of 5.4 litres/100 kms and just 149g/km of CO2 emissions it still has the ability to sprint to the legal speed limit in 8.5 seconds.
The four cylinder motor produces 140kW and 450Nm of torque and complies with the latest Euro 5 emission regulations. It is combined with a new ZF eight speed electronic automatic gearbox – especially adapted by Jaguar engineers to suit the motor – with sequential paddle operation and intelligent stop start to return the outstanding economy figures.
The stop start system shuts the engine down within 300 milliseconds of the car stopping and restarts the motor as soon as the driver's foot leaves the brake pedal.
The eight speed automatic transmission is also used on both three litre V6 engined twin turbo diesel models in the XF range.
The 3.0D Luxury model has 177kW and 500Nm while the 3.0D S version comes with 202kWs and 600Nm of torque. Both cars are Euro 5 Compliant and thanks to the new transmission it returns an improved overall fuel economy of 6.3 litres/100 kms.
The 3.0D Luxury model has the same specification as the new 2.2 diesel model, providing a higher specification than previous years. It is priced at $100,000.
The still higher specification 3.0D S gets adaptive dynamic suspension, a performance brakes package with larger front discs fitted inside 19 inch Aquila alloy wheels and an aerodynamic package that includes a restyled front bumper and black grille, side sill extensions, rear spoiler and sculptured rear valance. This car will retail for $115,000.
The adaptive dynamics offers Jaguar's unique comfort and sporting appeal with shock absorbers that control vertical body movement, roll and pitch rates. The system analyses inputs which determine ride and handling characteristics and adjust the dampers accordingly. Switching to the dynamic mode increases body control, sharpens throttle response and reduces gearshift times for even more sporting performance.
A three litre V6 petrol engine model with 175kW also comes with the same specification as the 2.2D and 3.0D and costs $95,000.
The naturally aspirated 283kW five-litre petrol V8 XF has a $125,000 price tag with 20 inch alloys.
The flagship supercharged XFR with the V8 producing 375kW and 625Nm of torque has active differential control, adaptive dynamics and even bigger brakes than the sport's package fitted to the 3.0D S and the standard V8 model. It can see the high side of 100 km/h in less than five seconds. It has an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h for German autobahns.
The XF is Jaguar's largest selling model worldwide and comes with a three year, 100,000 kms warranty.
The model range is:
|XF 2.2D Luxury
|XF 3.0 V6 Luxury
|XF 3.0D Luxury
|XF 3.0D S Luxury
|XF 5.0 V8 Luxury

Fairfax Media announces major redundancies
- From: news.com.au
- May 07, 2014
STAFF at Fairfax Media's The Age, Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian Financial Review will strike for 24 hours following an announcement 70 jobs would be cut at the company.
Sunday Age senior writer Jill Stark tweeted news staff would strike after holding an editorial stop work meeting. Sydney Morning Herald state political editor Sean Nicholls said the vote in favour of striking was 159 in favour and one against.
And we're on strike. Enough is enough. #Fairfax— Jill Stark (@jillastark) May 7, 2014
SMH stop work meeting has voted to strike for 24 hrs. Vote 159 for, one against #fairfax #fairgofairfax— Sean Nicholls (@SeanNic) May 7, 2014
Earlier in the day an email to staff announced proposed changes that would cut 70 jobs across editorial production, lifestyle and photography departments.
The email, from Australian Publishing Media managing director Allen Williams, said the changes are part of the "continuing transformation" of the company as it tries to become more efficient.
The editorial production team will be reduced by "about" 35 full time employees in Sydney and Melbourne by December 2014, with 10 of these roles moving to newsroom editors.
New arrangements in the Life Media restructure will see 15 jobs lost as the company moves to a "more flexible structure that better suits modern journalism practices." Around 30 photographers will also be made redundant as the company makes more use of Getty Images.
Staff members took to Twitter to express shock at the news.
Sick to my stomach. #fairfax— Jill Stark (@jillastark) May 7, 2014
Lots of sad faces on the floor. Pics and editing integral to what we do. To claim that it ''won't touch the news floor'' is fckt. #Fairfax— Miki Perkins (@perkinsmiki) May 7, 2014
My thoughts are with all the staff who have lost their jobs and those left behind in a ghost newsroom. #Fairfax— Merran Reed (@MerranReed) May 7, 2014
Good luck to all the talented staff at #fairfax as that redundancy rollercoaster goes down again. Diversity and competition still valued.— Sean Parnell (@seanparnell) May 7, 2014
Fairfax has not issued a formal statement, but a copy of Mr Allen's email obtained by news.com.au said he expects the changes to bring the company in line with other media businesses around the world.
Media, Entertainment, Arts Alliance (MEAA) representative Christopher Warren said "the only decision the company seems capable of making is to keep cutting staff."
"When do we reach the point of no return? Why isn't more effort being made to protect and promote editorial quality and utilise smarter ways of working? At what point does Fairfax stop being a news organisation and merely become a commissioning agency that outsources everything it does?"
Later in the day, former New South Wales premier Barry O'Farrell quipped on Twitter:
@SeanNic it will be interesting tomorrow to see if the public notices #justsaying— Barry O'Farrell (@barryofarrell) May 7, 2014
Fairfax Media reported net profits after tax of $193 million in their latest financial results released in February 2014.
Chief Executive and Managing director Greg Hywood said at the time it was a credit to staff resilience the company recorded their first increase in underlaying EBITDA since June 2010.
"It is these strategies that underpin a half-year result that's starkly at odds with the conventional wisdom that traditional media companies face a bleak future simply because reductions in print advertising cannot be immediately offset by increases in digital revenue," he said.
However he also claimed they are running the company for profit and will continue to focus on balancing revenue and cost.
Fairfax previously made 1900 staff redundant and erected paywalls on the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

A photo of a New York policeman giving a pair boots to a homeless man has gone viral.
Tourist Jennifer Foster was visiting the Big Apple from Arizona when she spotted a homeless, barefoot man on a cold winter night.
A few moments later, she snapped a picture of the officer kneeling to put socks and a pair of boots on the man's feet.
"He had boots in his hand and I heard him saying 'I have the size 12 all weather boots for you. Lets take care of you'" Foster recalled. "And the gentleman sat down against the wall, and I'm telling, you his face lit up, and he smiled."
The officer, 25-year-old Larry Deprimo, said he was moved with compassion when he saw the homeless man without socks or shoes on such a cold night.
He decided to purchase the socks and boots at a nearby Sketchers store.
The New York Police Department posted the picture on it's Facebook page. So far, it has nearly 500,000 "likes."

Prost! Oktoberfest in Nova Scotia
With fall being a beautiful time of year in Nova Scotia, it's not hard to find a reason to get out and enjoy yourself. Nova Scotia has played host to various Oktoberfest celebrations across the province for decades. The Craft Beer industry in Nova Scotia has been doing some pretty great things, resulting in celebrations better than ever!

HARRISBURG — Democrat Ed Rendell won't have to wait long for a lesson in politics, Harrisburg-style.
On Jan. 21, the day Rendell will be sworn in as governor, the Republican-controlled Senate is scheduled to fill 39 vacancies on state courts and on state boards and commissions.
Those 39 people were nominated by outgoing Gov. Schweiker, a Republican, and Democrats are condemning the last-minute moves as a political power grab.

Apple has just updated the second and third-generation Apple TV software to version 5.1 (build 10A406e). The biggest changes include support for Shared Photo Streams, the ability to switch between iTunes accounts and to send audio content from Apple TV to AirPlay-enabled speakers and devices. Apple TV 2 jailbreakers: as always – stay away from this update for now if you don't want to lose your jailbreak.
Splitmo, a company dedicated to creating mobile apps that leverage 'dual screen' technologies, has released its first app called Air Show (free in the App Store). Air Show is an iOS app that lets users preview, select and edit images on their iPhone/iPad screen while simultaneously displaying the more polished view on an HDTV screen.
Remember last week when pod2g tweeted that neither he nor anyone he knows of was working on the Apple TV 3 jailbreak? We asked you to cool down and to never lose a hope since we knew there were people working on this. The confirmation that the work is ongoing on this particular jailbreak came from 9to5Mac, as they have learned that "a jailbreak for the third-generation Apple TV is indeed in the works from someone with close knowledge of the project":
iOS hacker and Chronic Dev Team member pod2g announced on his Twitter that he is not working on Apple TV 3 jailbreak. Even worse, according to his recent tweet, no one he's aware of is working on this jailbreak:
You know the story: p0sixninja left the Chronic Dev Team after selling iBoot 0day exploit to an (ex?)Apple employee (more details here). There was a lot of speculations on whether or not the iBoot exploit could have been used to jailbreak Apple TV 3.
Amazon is selling the new 1080p Apple TV for $89.99 with free shipping. That's the lowest price ever offered by Amazon for Apple TV 3. Get the little hockey puck now, since this offer may not last long.
Although the jailbreak for Apple TV 3 is not available yet, the Apple TV community is working hard to bring it to you as soon as possible.

An Iowa school district is changing its religious liberties policy after protests from secular groups. The Spencer Public School District's policy allowed classes that taught opposing views of evolution and explored the Bible's role in history and literature. The district said it created the policy to ensure students' rights to learn about religion in public schools. Interfaith and secular groups, including Americans United for Separation of Church and State protested the plan, which said the policy promoted Christianity. The school board said it will develop a new policy that will be pre-approved by lawyers, teachers and other groups.

This old pail, straight from Grandma's farm, is such a wonderful size! The pail measures just under 8 ½" wide and stands 6" tall at the top of the body. It retains it's original bail handle and tin lid with wooden knob. This is a heavy old pail with strong riveted "ears"....indicative of early manufacture. There is some light surface rust, mainly around the perimeter and very light scattered surface on the lid. The smokey blue swirl color of the enamel is gorgeous. Overall, this is a fabulous example of early country primitive enamelware straight from the farm, and it would look amazing displayed in your country kitchen cupboard! A beauty!

WASHINGTON (AP) - Fresh off a five-week vacation, lawmakers return to Washington on Monday for a brief pre-election session in which Congress will do what it often does best: punt its problems to the future.
There's a slew of deadlines and the prospect of a debilitating "fiscal cliff" in January. But lawmakers are expected to take a pass on the big issues of taxes and spending cuts and instead focus on doing the bare minimum - preventing a government shutdown when the budget year ends on Sept. 30.
At issue is a six-month temporary spending bill to finance the day-to-day operations of the federal government. The annual appropriations process on Capitol Hill collapsed about midway through the campaign season.
One item of local interest, U.S. Sen Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, said last week that he plans to introduce a bill to restore the pensions of Delphi salaried retirees. Over the past three years, the nearly 21,000 nationwide ex-employees have seen their retirement income dwindle by as much as 70 percent in some cases.
About 1,500 retirees remain in the Mahoning Valley.
In July 2009, a then-bankrupt Delphi surrendered its pension obligations to the federally backed Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp.

Happy New Year! Well, I'm finally back. Over the holidays, my family and I traveled to Illinois and Tennessee to visit friends and family. I've decided (again) to refocus this blog. My previous series on Paul Tillich's theology didn't seem to be generating much interest, so I'm going to discontinue that series for now and get back to more current issues, which seem to get more response and interaction. So let's start with New Year's resolutions. Here is an activity I'll be using tomorrow morning at my Sunday service. If you haven't made a New Year's resolution yet, or have already given up…here is an alternative:
How many of you have thrown a coin into a fountain and made a wish? When we do this, we sometimes have a superstitious idea that if we keep our wish a secret, it will magically come true. When I throw coins into a fountain, I usually don't remember what I wished for, and so I don't know if they ever come true or not.
Today, I want to give you an idea for a new way to make wishes. I'm going to give you each a penny. Here it is:
With that penny, I want you to wish something not for yourself, but for somebody else.
Now I want each of you to give that penny to someone else. You just gave them your hopes and dreams, but you just received someone else's hopes and dreams. Now you have some responsibility to help them with their wish, and others have some responsibility to help you.
Pass your pennies around again. And again. And again…
So many wishes and hopes and dreams passing through so many hands. Now you all have to help each other with your wishes….So you have to tell someone what your wish is so that they can help you to achieve it.
Keep these pennies and when you look at them, think of the hopes and dreams that other people have, and how you can help them to make their wishes come true.
When I created and used this exercise about 4 years ago, my son, who was 12 at the time, said later, "Dad, can we switch pennies." I said, "OK," and asked him what he wished for. He said, "I wish Granny [my mother] would stop smoking. My mom had been a lifelong smoker. My father had died several years earlier from lung cancer. I told my son I would help him with his wish. We talked to my mom, which we had done before unsuccessfully, and told her about his wish. On April 1, 2004 my mom stopped smoking and hasn't had a cigarette since.
I think that's how New Year's resolutions should work….
Rev. Matt

MIFFLINTOWN - Mifflintown attorney Randall Zimmerman has agreed to run as the Democratic candidate for Juniata County district attorney in the fall election, according to a letter Zimmerman submitted to The Sentinel.
Zimmerman received 125 write-in votes for the Democratic nomination in the May election, election officials in Juniata County reported. Current District Attorney Cory Snook ran unopposed and secured the Republican nomination.
"I am grateful for the support," Zimmerman said in his letter, emphasizing that he did not seek or authorize his candidacy.
Zimmerman, a Republican, said he decided to accept the nomination after discussing the issue with his wife, children and trusted friends.
One of the reasons the attorney gave for running was a chance to give back to the community by providing "the same competent and zealous representation I have tried to give my clients for 32 years."
He said he also hopes to improve the criminal justice system specific areas. A district attorney should be the chief law enforcement officer in the county who provides leadership to law enforcement agencies in the area, he said.
His other reason for running is because of the Juniata County Republican Committee's "unacceptable" recent politicalization of the district attorney position, Zimmerman said.
He said the office has been used as "political reward for friendship with and the political support of (Rep. Adam Harris, R-Mifflintown,) and others. At 57 years of age, I have yet to run for or hold office and have no experience at running a campaign or playing the political game," Zimmerman said. "I always thought the office of district attorney should be entirely non-political."
Therefore, Zimmerman said, he will not seek public endorsement or accept campaign contributions.
He asked voters to speak with local people who are associated with the criminal justice system to become more informed about the responsibilities of the district attorney.
Zimmerman has been practicing law for 32 years in Juniata and Mifflin counties. He described his legal practice as varied and busy. His experience includes numerous criminal trials and work for a short period as an assistant district attorney.
Zimmerman also promised that he will not neglect his clients during the campaign and will continue to put them first.
He is a graduate of Juniata High School, Penn State University and Hamline University School of Law. He and his wife have been married for 35 years, and they have three children.

SAN FRANCISCO — We've just had a hands-on taste of what might be the future of car audio at an intimate press event in downtown San Francisco — and we think they're on to something big.
At a secretive, intimate press event in downtown San Francisco, Pioneer showed off their new AppRadio, an aftermarket car audio head unit equipped with a capacitive touch screen that interfaces with the iPhone 4 or 4G iPod, and actually becomes the interface. The idea is that you'll shove the iPhone or iPod in a glove compartment, and then engage in hands-free calling, play around with tracks — and even view access all the functions and selected apps like Pandora and MotionX GPS Drive — through the AppRadio, without having to touch your iDevice.
Right now, AppRadio is only compatible with the iPod controls, Google Maps and four third-party apps (besides Pandora and MotionX, it also works with Rdio — similar to Pandora in concept — and Inrix, the hugely popular, free real-time traffic app. But since the device is actually controlled through an app that sits on your iPhone/iPod, all that's required for additional apps to become compatible is for their devs to release an update of the app that includes Pioneers AppRadio API.
Pioneer also seems to have paid serious attention to the issue of road safety. Ted Cardenas, Pioneer's director of marketing and captain of the presser, harped on that fact throughout the presser, saying the idea was to "launch the apps and then really put the phone away." In fact, once connected, the iPhone/iPod's screen is locked out unless the car's parking brake is engaged.
Pioneer said the device will hit the market in late June, at under $500; though they were pretty noncommittal about who's going to sell them. It's also not really compatible right now with anything but the iPhone 4 and 4G iPod; it won't play with the iPad or Android devices — though Cardenas hinted strongly that Android compatibility is coming.
And yes, we carved out a little hands-on time with the unit — check back tomorrow for the juicy first-impression details.

If you can manage it, one of the best tricks to pull at a major exhibition is to announce a major new product halfway through the show so that it doesn't get lost in the flood of first day announcements and gives the attendant scribes something big to write about during the later days - and DEC pulled the trick superbly at UniForum in San Francisco. On Wednesday night, London time, the company pulled the wraps off a multi-user version of its MIPS Computer Systems Inc RISC-based Ultrix line, in the process reviving the hallowed DECsystem name, dubbing the box the DECsystem-3100. Based on the 16.7MHz R2000 version of the MIPS RISC with R2010 maths co-processor, the machine comes with Ultrix licence, X Window, DECwindows, TCP/IP commu nications and optimising C compil er, and is rated by DEC at 14 MIPS, 3.7 MFLOPS on the single precision Linpak benchmark. DEC is pitching the machine at the commercial mult i-user, laboratory data reduction, and engineering simulation and ana lysis markets, and is touting the launch as a price breakthrough in multi-user Unix machines. It costs $20,400 with 8Mb, three 332Mb disks and support for four users, $22,004 with 8Mb, one 332Mb disk and supp ort for eight users, and $55,604 for a 32-user system with 24Mb and three 332Mb disk drives. It is ta king orders now for ships in June.

Parents of grown children in New Jersey – as well as the rest of the Northeast – tend to be more lenient when it comes to letting their college graduates live at home, according to a new survey by Coldwell Banker Real Estate.
The Coldwell Banker poll of more than 2,000 people found most respondents said four years after college was too long for offspring to be living at home. But in the Northeast, five years was the breaking point.
Northeasterners were more lenient in other ways.
About 23 percent of Northeasterners said there is no time limit for how long grown children can live at home, compared with 17 percent of Southerners.
In the West, 15 percent said young adults should never live at home, while only 9 percent of Northeasterners held the same opinion.
While 82 percent of respondents agreed the children should pay rent, Northeasterners again tended to be more generous, a lone percentage point ahead of Southerners at 80 percent.
And once the kids get a job, Northeasterners put less pressure on the them to move out: Only 58 percent said they should move on, compared to 68 percent in the West and Midwest and 67 percent in the South.
"In terms of transitioning into independent adulthood, it's almost as if 27 is the new 18," psychotherapist Robi Ludwig, lifestyle correspondent for Madison-based Coldwell Banker Real Estate, said in the report. "Living at home can be a great opportunity for young adults who need some time to get on their feet, but it's only beneficial if the time is used wisely. Our 20s are a very crucial time because the decisions we make and the lessons we learn then influence who we become as adults."
A recent Pew report found that 36 percent of young adults between 18 and 31 were living in their parents' homes – the highest share in four decades and up markedly from before the recession.

CLEVELAND - It's back to normal for Johnny Manziel.
No pool parties with bikini-clad women. No glitzy casinos with the incessant sound of slot machines chirping 24/7 in the background.
Life for Manziel in Cleveland is football practice, a shuttle ride to the team hotel and maybe a visit to a Chipotle. He's yet to find time to check out the nightlife in downtown Cleveland.
Talk about a boring lifestyle. It's nothing like the scene Manziel dove head first into last week in Las Vegas, where he was a guest at a party hosted by Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.
Photos of Manziel partying it up had social media humming last weekend. Critics lined up to question his decision to draw attention to himself in such an obvious way during a break in the Browns' OTA practices.
Manziel spoke to that criticism after practice Wednesday. In a nutshell, he said that he wants to enjoy life and isn't concerned about what people think.
"I don't live my life according to you guys or what other people think of me," Manziel said.
"I'm going to live my life to the fullest and continue to be committed to this game and to what I need to be doing here and trying to earn my place in this locker room
"If I want to go out and have some fun and it doesn't hinder what my main goals in life are, then I really don't care what anyone has to say."
That thinking might change if he's told to tone down his act by Browns coach Mike Pettine or owner Jimmy Haslam. For now, Pettine is supportive of Manziel. Pettine pointed out that several other players left town for the Memorial Day weekend, and no one cared
"We have a saying in the NFL - as long as it doesn't affect your job," Pettine said. "He's a guy that was proactive. He let us know that he was going, and my advice to him was have fun. He's done everything that we've asked. The playbook has not been an issue for him.
"I know a big deal was made of it. We have an expectation for all of our players to act a certain way outside of the building. It's really a non-issue. He's like anyone else. He's a man, and we're going to treat our guys like that until they prove they need to be treated otherwise."
The only surprising element of the Vegas fallout is Manziel's surprise that so much was made of it in all forms of media. As the country's most talked about athlete, he had to know the combination of Las Vegas, parties, young women and cameras would spin out something that couldn't be controlled. This was no mole hill being turned into a mountain.
No matter what Manziel does - here, in his home state of Texas or in Vegas - he will be followed. He's the only athlete capable of putting the Kim-and-Kayne wedding on the back burner.
"I'm really used to it," Manziel said. "It's been life for so long now I really wouldn't know what it would be like any other way. I can't remember back to the days of how it was when I didn't have people tweeting and taking pictures of wherever I was.
"I don't mean that in a way to have a big head. It's just how things go. For some reason, wherever I go, people want to take pictures. They think I'm doing something wild when I'm just living a normal life."
The free-spirited side of Manziel probably isn't going away until the constraints of training camp and the regular season will all but bind him to the team facility. The important thing is for him to remember his place on the roster.
"Right now I really haven't done anything at this level," Manziel said. "I haven't done anything to establish myself or to create this type of buzz.
"I'm just a rookie. Yeah, Heisman Trophy and did some things in college. For me, I'm trying to accept the buzz for what it was kind of like in college, even though I haven't done anything here."
If Manziel maintains that attitude around his teammates, there shouldn't be a problem.

as we known that in various chips their are various functional units which have their own unique address .so in order to communicate with those , it becomes necessary to first identify them at programming level.as an hardware approach,it is just an guess of that location .so addressing mode (in general for any digital device
may be)technically termed as specifying the desired mode of operational task.

Cuckold Recipe
Husband loses job and within two months of unemployment he's depressed, drinking and gambling so wife has to take control. Sounds like you're laying the ground work for your typical "husband loses self respect then wife's and cuckold story". I hope not. I've read so many stories about when roles are reversed but the old values remain the same. Like, the husband is supposed to be the main bread winner, real men don't do house work, taking care of the kids is woman's work etc. The wife starts to feel ashamed of her unemployed, child caring, house husband. Then she is attracted to a more handsome successful man that is better in bed. So, the husband becomes redundant in those categories, as well. He has to accept it and continue running the household or get a divorce and be out on the street with no job, kids, money or place to live. Viola, recipe for a Cuckold. Since you seem to have descent writing skills, from what I can ascertain from this small sample, I'll continue reading just to see if you can think outside the box. Thank you Good luckby Britease08/21/11by MarvinS08/21/11
House hubby
I retired a couple of years ago, but my wife still works. It has been my goal to provide her with a clean house and a hot meal when she gets home. Most of the time the meal happens, but not always the clean house. I actually enjoy being a house husband, but it my case it was by choice.
I am looking forward to the continuation of this story. So far I think it is good.by Anonymous08/21/11
You're Doing It Again
You are about to, setting up another guy, to become a cuck!
Your whole thing is debasing men, ruining marriages, destroying families and insinuating that the guys are weak, submissive and lack in self respect. You make the wives out to be super intelligent, having to deign themselves to associate with their own husbands and then - Justify the wife cheating, after all the husband isn't man enough!
I'm guessing you're a submissive who enjoys cream pies and wears his wife's' underwear - right! Bi-sexual and low self esteem - right!
Oh, you do write your story well but I think they should be in another category. These wives don't turn out to be Loving.by bartolo08/21/11by rjordan08/21/11by EspressoBolus08/22/11
So what?
Any real man is thoroughly familiar with cooking, cleaning, laundry and the other duties of running a household because he never assumes such are solely the woman's empire.
Should be interesting. The closing comment does not bode well. If he truly thinks he was maneuvered into his new role, then the universe is against him!by Chagrined08/22/11
A timely tale. But that is exactly what I don't like about it.
I have no idea where you intend to take this but I hope it is more upbeat than the cases I have seen in real life. I would venture to say the majority of marriages can't stand up to this kind of situation and it would be nice to see one that does.
When so much is going so wrong in so many aspects of life I would like to see something which gives us a little more hope and representative that we are little more than technological monkeys.

the author is one of those UK super wimps
so this is going to be fucking awful. Husband is TINY -- 5 foot 7 inches tall? That is like smaller than 96% of all Human man on the planet for god's sake.
and I am sure has a tinnie weenie cock as well. and of course he cant boil water and becomes a drunk and a gambler... \

Hi Lloyd and welcome to the PC Guide,
First thing any of the gurus will want are all the facts about your computer. What Operating System is it running, XP, W2K, 98? They will need to know why you attempted to do a restore in the first place. Was the computer already slow, was it not booting up? Were you getting error messages, are you running an anti-virus program and firewall? They will really need the low down on exactly what you have and what has gone wrong before they can help.
All the information you have will help.

Just in time to get us dreaming of summer travel comes this quirky but lovely book about out-of-the-way places. Judith Schalansky grew up in East Germany when it was still situated behind the Iron Curtain. Forbidden to travel, she began a lifelong fascination with atlases and maps. The very names of these islands pull you in: Robinson Crusoe, Takuu, Possession Island, Lonely Island, Pagan, and Diego Garcia.

I had a chance to walk out of the War Memorial with Crunch team doctor Dan DiChristina after Friday night's game, and I took the opportunity to get more complete updates on a few key injuries:
- There is no indication that Martin Prusek's current groin injury is going to linger, a la Pascal Leclaire's last year. DiChristina said he hopes Prusek can start skating next weekend.
- Peter Sarno's sore wrist ligaments are something he's probably going to have to live with to some degree for the rest of the season. The good news is that it doesn't look like more surgery will be needed to address the problem. Sarno may have to adjust his game, depending upon when the ligaments flare up.
- Darcy Verot is literally playing shift-by-shift. He has a torn labrum in his right shoulder, something that the Doc imagined is causing Verot quite a bit of pain. Only surgery can fix it long-term. When I asked Doc the chances of that type of injury remaining at a tolerable level for the rest of the season, he got out a coin and flipped it. As in, 50-50.

JACKSON, MI – The Jackson Police Department has released images of the man suspected of shooting a 29-year-old in the leg Saturday, April 26, at a gas station on Lansing Avenue.
Detective Brett Stiles obtained the images from the surveillance system at PS Food Mart, 815 Lansing Ave., and they clearly show the face of the man, wearing a hat and coat and carrying a beverage.
The man is believed to have shot Willie Brown as Brown walked to a vehicle about 7:24 p.m. outside the business. Firing from a silver Chevrolet Impala, the man allegedly shot at Brown three times, hitting him once, Deputy Chief John Holda earlier said.
A friend took Brown to Allegiance Health, where he was treated in the emergency department and released.
Brown and the man had gotten into an argument inside the store, Holda said.
Brown reported he did not know who shot him or why he had been shot, according to police.
The shooter left the store, heading south on Steward Avenue in the Impala, Holda said.
Anyone with information or the identity of the individual is encouraged to contact Stiles at 517-768-8722 or the police department at 517-788-4100.

The Moncks Corner Pitching Machine All-Star team was recognized during the July meeting of Moncks Corner Town Council. The team won its district tournament to advance to the state tournament in just their second year of All-Star level play.
Butch Watson, Berkeley Hall of Fame Class of 2013 and an assistant All-Star coach, thanked the town for outstanding support. "It's great to see these young people do so well and the support shown by the town was fantastic," he said.
Ralph Jones, Park and Rec Director said the crowd support was strong.
"We had a great following on the road," he said. "The support from Moncks Corner was amazing. This is just the second year of machine pitch baseball at the All-Star level for us and we are really pleased with their performance. Not many teams from Moncks Corner make it to the state tournament."
Jones cited travel ball as a challenge for the All-Star teams.
"Travel ball has really affected the post season and the All Stars," Jones said. "Players will finish the regular season and then leave for travel ball and pass on playing All-Stars, especially in softball."
Other Park and Rec programs combine their All-Stars and travel ball either via the placement of travel ball players throughout the league or waiting until after All-Star play has completed before beginning summer travel ball season.
"How can you not represent your hometown in All-Stars?" Jones asked.
The players who remained dedicated to the Park and Rec league's All Star teams hold a special place in Jones' eyes. "These players choose to represent their hometown and there is a great deal of pride in that," he said.
"I've been to other recreation complex sites similar to what we'll have and see the tournaments playing there. The crowds are packed there. Those crowds will soon come here as well."

The email went out from the volunteer office of the SPCA Serving Erie County on Feb. 16, a day after the first of its veterinary teams entered the door of the SPCA of Wyoming County: "Volunteers are needed." I responded. This would be my first experience in the field.
I've been an SPCA of Erie County AdvoCAT for four years. Cats in shelters whose only contact with humans is for veterinary and kennel care can become sick or develop behavior problems. The job of the AdvoCATS, all volunteers, is to provide attention, affection and play in order to preserve cat health and sanity. Human affection seems essential to feline well-being.
When I arrive on site that Friday afternoon, I don a haz-mat suit and get to work cleaning and preparing cages for cats processed by the veterinary team, which consists of Dr. Helene Chevalier, a veterinary technician and a handler. Each cat's heart and lungs are checked. Its mouth is examined for dental health and indications that diseases not dental might be present. Blood may be drawn. Vaccinations are given. Three women in haz-mat suits enter data into computers. Approximately eight cats are processed per hour. Kennel staff and volunteers clean and clean. We all look like space aliens from Planet Squalid, but things were worse on Wednesday. There were more than 400 free-roaming cats in a small ranch house and few litter boxes. Some cats were so stressed they had pulled clumps of their fur out.
Today this is a scene of controlled chaos. Working in fairly tight quarters, we bump into each other. Supplies are being carted in. Several cats are still on the loose. A black cat that darts by has two gouges on his left side the size of golf balls. Cat coughs and sneezes punctuate the air from every direction. In a short line, personnel from other animal welfare organizations wait for cats to transport to their own shelters. By the end of the day, 90 cats have left the premises.
When I return on Sunday, I find that several fellow AdvoCATS have arrived bearing toys: washable plastic balls with bells inside. We begin distributing these and assessing temperaments, taping notes to cages. Most cats seem indifferent to the toys, but one pounces the second I roll a ball into his cage. Many don't want to be touched, and some recoil violently from my extended hand as if contact equaled sudden death. If they aren't visibly frightened, they seem listless and disinterested, detached, withdrawn. Many of these animals are unsocialized or undersocialized: contact with humans has been minimal.
In one cage we find a calico whose tail and rear end are covered in feces or dirt, or both. Underneath we see red, raw flesh. It's as if the fur and skin have been burned away. She must be in excruciating pain, and the veterinary staff won't return until the next morning.
I move downstairs to the basement. Cat cages have been placed in kennel runs for dogs. It's cold and dark down here, and the lighting is inadequate to illuminate the space, but there is simply no place else to put them. AdvoCATS begin covering the cages on all sides except one with blankets found on site and laundered in the commercial washer and dryer on the first floor. The coverings will contain the cats' body heat for warmth during the night. My companions have to leave, so I continue by myself. Although the cages have recently been cleaned, none of them has a "bed." I make repeated trips to the laundry room for towels and small blankets.
Something wonderful happens. As soon as I put soft fabric into a cage, the cat goes to it and settles in. Some begin grooming. I keep up a steady stream of reassuring talk and pet the ones that will allow me to, continuing the socialization process begun today. I'm touched that something so simple, a soft spot to lie on, has created contentment, even here.
That night I have difficulty getting to sleep. Those cats are on my mind. Once asleep I'm jolted awake three times, my own cat snuggled against me, thinking about the calico. In the morning I shake off the remains of something akin to post-traumatic stress syndrome. When I describe this reaction to a seasoned investigator, she says, "So now you know "
Besides the emotional toll on humans and animals, there are other costs. Thirty-four cats were assessed as untreatable and euthanized, among them the black cat and the calico. The monetary costs have not yet been calculated.
The recent events at the SPCAs of Niagara and Wyoming counties raise several issues. First, both organizations seemed overwhelmed beyond their resources, and this state of affairs is influenced, in part, by the unchecked reproduction of domestic animals, specifically, cats. People simply must spay and neuter their animals. People can also support their local animal welfare organizations through donations, by volunteering and by adopting a pet through them. Second, municipalities should consider a licensing program for cats similar to the licensing of dogs. Third, rescue organizations can be monitored. Fourth, laws regarding domestic animals can be changed. At present these animals are regarded as property, not much different from a sofa or a child's teddy bear. Laws should take into consideration that pets aren't stuffed animals. They have nervous systems and can feel pain and suffer.
Last, mental health professionals and communities must continue to confront hoarding. Hoarding has a 100 percent recidivism rate. In other words, even if animals are taken away, hoarders will begin to collect them again unless there is some intervention and treatment, and like addicts, they probably are never "cured" but will always be in recovery.
The entire Attica project, from the time the SPCA of Erie County arrived on site to the relocation of about 500 cats, took 10 days. It was a remarkable rescue. More information about the Attica rescue, updates and other SPCA projects and news may be found at YourSPCA.org.
Nancy Barnes, of Williamsville, is retired from the English Department at Erie Community College City Campus. She has been a volunteer at the SPCA Serving Erie County for the past four years.

Luna Theater's crackerjack production of The Pillowman, Martin McDonagh's terrifying, almost-funny play, adds to Luna's roster of profoundly edgy, creepy shows. Luna has carved out a niche market for itself that is much like McDonagh's, whose grotesquely weird and grim entertainments such as The Lieutenant of Inishmore, The Beauty Queen of Lenane, and The Cripple of Inishmaan have become staples of the contemporary stage.
"The first duty of a storyteller is to tell a story," Katurian Katurian says to his brutal interrogator in an unnamed police state. There has been a series of child murders imitating events in Katurian's gruesome stories, and the writer and his brain-damaged brother are being held under suspicion. The play is a puzzle, brain-teasing us, flirting with big questions about, say, the moral responsibility of an author to the public, or whether there is a causal relationship between violence and creativity, or whether all art is political, or whether life is even worth living in McDonagh's cruel world.
