My Vote for 2014 American League Cy Young
Each year there are usually several pitchers from each league that have incredible seasons, making it difficult to choose between them for who most deserves the Cy Young award. This year is no different. The American League saw Garrett Richards, Chris Sale, Jon Lester, Dellin Betances, Corey Kluber and Felix Hernandez all having great seasons. However, in the end, only one player can take home the Cy Young award.
Garrett Richards and Chris Sale both had fantastic seasons, but due to injuries at one point or another that caused them each to miss a few starts, they don't quite make the cut. Richards helped a relatively subpar Angels pitching staff excel, going 13-4 with a 2.61 ERA; Sale performed amazingly for the White Sox, posting a 2.17 ERA and striking out 208 over 174 innings pitched. However, as mentioned, both of their stints on the disabled list hurt their chances. But despite missing out on the award this time around, they each stand a great chance at the Cy Young award if they can post the same type of stats in 2015.
Also making an appearance on my list but inevitably missing the cut is Jon Lester. Going from the Red Sox to the Athletics in July, Lester combined to post some great number on the year, holding opponents to a mere .236 batting average and recording a 2.46 ERA over the course of 32 games started. But although he was great, Lester didn't necessarily dominate the competition, as is usually the case with a Cy Young winner.
Just the opposite, Dellin Betances completely dominated the opposition all season long for the Yankees. Over the course of 70 relief appearances, Betances achieved a mere 1.40 ERA while striking out 135 batters. With it not being all too often that a relief pitcher is even considered for the Cy Young, Betances certainly had a significant season. But unfortunately for Betances, a couple of starters had a better one.
One of the two top choices for the Cy Young award this season is Corey Kluber. While Kluber isn't a household name, even after the great season he had, he is certainly well known to the batters he faced (and fooled) all season long. Striking out 269 batters on the season (second to only David Price in all of baseball) and putting together a 2.44 ERA, Kluber had an amazing season that will definitely earn him a good amount of votes for the Cy Young award. However, he doesn't receive my (unofficial) vote.
For me, the difficult but correct choice for the 2014 American League Cy Young award is the Mariners' star pitcher, Felix Hernandez. In what would be his second career Cy Young award, there's truly no other player that deserves it more. Although Hernandez had a few rough outings, for the most part he was seemingly unbeatable, going on a streak of 16 straight quality starts at one point. With an ERA of 2.14 ERA, due to holding batters to an even .200 batting average for the season, Hernandez surely will receive the Cy Young award for his remarkable year when all is said and done.
My Vote for 2014 A.L. Rookie of the Year
Watching young players succeed upon their first year in the majors is always fun. Though it never guarantees that any given player will carry that early success throughout their career, it's always a good indication of which players are going to be stars for years to come. We certainly had a fair share of those type of players in the American League this season, with players such as Masahiro Tanaka, Collin McHugh, Dellin Betances and Jose Abreu all having seasons worthy of recognition. However, in the end, only one player can win the coveted Rookie of the Year award.
Masahiro Tanaka came over from Japan in the offseason, where he had previously dominated the opposition. Picking up right where he left off for the Yankees, Tanaka put himself well in line to become the starting pitcher for the American League in the All-Star game, and began to be seen as the favorite to win the R.O.Y. award. However, shortly before the All-Star break, things fell apart. Getting hit with injuries, Tanaka wasn't able to return until the very last portion of the year. And therefore, while he should be one of the top vote getters, with his 2.77 ERA over 20 starts, Tanaka will ultimately not receive the award.
Another pitcher who's in the mix for Rookie of the Year, having stayed healthy throughout the season unlike Tanaka, is Collin McHugh. Pitching for an Astros team that had very few standout players, McHugh went 11-9 with a 2.73 ERA over the course of 25 games started. While he had a few poor outings this season, for the most part McHugh had a dominant string of performances. Any other season McHuch would be a top candidate for the Rookie of the Year, but this season the talent level of American League rookies was simply too great.
Dellin Betances was by far the most impressive rookie of the pitchers on my list. Posting a mere 1.40 ERA over the course of 70 games pitched, in which he held opponents to a mere .149 batting average, Betances was one of the most successful players on the Yankees in 2014. In addition to the low ERA, Betances struck out a staggering 135 batters, setting the new Yankee strikeout record for a relief pitcher, formerly held by Mariano Rivera. While I feel Betances should be seen as the top young relief pitcher in baseball, he unfortunately just misses out for top A.L. rookie of 2014.
For me, there's no other choice for 2014 American League Rookie of the Year over the White Sox' Jose Abreu. Getting signed out of Cuba during the offseason, Abreu came to the Sox with high expectations surrounding him. But instead of buckling under the pressure, Abreu thrived on it. Batting .317 on the year, along with 36 home runs and 107 RBI's, Abreu had a season you very rarely see out of a rookie. Although he didn't reach the all-time home run mark by a rookie of 49, Abreu did more than enough to deserve the American League Rookie of the Year award.
My 2014 Postseason Predictions
For the third straight season I made preseason predictions as to how I felt each division would play out, and for the third straight season I was extremely far off. For one reason or another, I'm not very good at making division predictions before a given season begins. However, with that said, last year when I did playoff predictions for the very first time I correctly predicted the World Series matchup of the Cardinals taking on the Red Sox. Unfortunately, I picked the Cardinals to come out victorious, which ultimately didn't happen, but I was still thrilled that I successfully picked the final two teams.
This year, though, I hope to take it one step further and get the World Series winner correct as well. While I'll likely be off, either by a little or a lot, it's always fun to make predictions. Who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky and have a perfect prediction of how the postseason will play out. You never can tell what may happen in October.
WILD CARD GAMES (AL September 30th & NL October 1st)
American League: Royals Vs. Athletics
Winner: Royals
Both the Royals and Athletics have had their share of ups and downs throughout the 2014 season. Neither one has a group of players that makes them definitively better than the other, and that makes it hard to predict the winner of the one game, win or go home matchup. Even so, I'm picking the Royals to pull out the win over the visiting A's. While their offense has struggled at times, their bullpen is one of the best in baseball. If the Royals can go into the late innings with a lead, it's as close to a sure thing as you can get.
National League: Pirates Vs. Giants
Winner: Giants
The Pirates made it to the postseason in 2013 for the fist time since 1992, winning the Wild Card game against the Reds and moving on to the division series only to be beaten out by the Cardinals. This time around, however, I don't even have them making it that far. The Giants are looking to come into town and pick up the win that will ensure a five game series against the Nationals, and I feel that their pitching, as well as their overall offense, outranks the Pirates' team in a one game situation.
AMERICAN LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES (Begins October 2nd)
Angels Vs. Royals
Winner: Angels
Although I have the Royals winning the Wild Card game against the Athletics, I don't see their first playoff run since 1985 lasting past the division series. Going up against a really good offensive Angels team, the Royals will certainly be in for a challenge if they want to prove me wrong. The only question mark for the Angels that would give the Royals a true chance is their starting pitching. With no true ace that you can count on, you never know how the Angels will fare. But I think they will hit just enough to win the series.
Orioles Vs. Tigers
Winner: Tigers
This is going to be a very good series matchup, and I can't really say for sure who will win. But I'm going with my gut that the Tigers will find a way to get the job done, despite their flaws. While the Orioles have one of the best hitting clubs in baseball, with major threats up and down the lineup, their pitching isn't nearly as deep as the Tigers. If they want to make things hard on the Tigers, they'll have to post some great pitching performances. But although that could happen, I see the Tigers moving on to the championship series.
NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES (Begins October 3rd)
Nationals Vs. Giants
Winner: Nationals
The Nationals taking on the Giants would be a good series, but I don't think it will be too difficult for the Nationals to move on. Taking nothing away from the Giants, who are certainly a good team of players, I don't feel they stack up against the Nationals very well at all. The Nationals have very few holes from top to bottom in both their offense and pitching. With five good starters that can go out and win big games when you need them to, it would take nothing short of a disaster for the Nats to get beaten out by the Giants.
Dodgers Vs. Cardinals
Winner: Dodgers
Pairing two of the best teams in the National League against one another, this is by far the best guaranteed-to-happen matchup of the postseason, in my mind. While the other games are sure to be exciting, this series could easily come down to a game five, with either team taking the division series title. With the Cardinals and Dodgers both having amazing teams, it's basically a coin flip for which one will move on. But I have to give a slight edge to the Dodgers — however slight an edge it may be.
AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES (Begins October 10th)
Angels Vs. Tigers
Winner: Angels
As good as the Tigers pitching staff can be, and as bad as the Angels staff can be, it was difficult for me to select the Angels as the winners of the series. But I feel the Angels have a good enough team to beat out the Tigers, should they have any sort of issues scoring runs or pitching well, which I envision them having. Though many people are picking the Tigers to make it to the World Series, with some going as bold with their predictions as to giving them the World Series title, I have that spot reserved for the Angels.
NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES (Begins October 11th)
Nationals Vs. Dodgers
Winner: Dodgers
Another sure to be great series against two great teams, this is yet again a nearly impossible matchup to predict (as many of them are). If the Nationals end up taking on the Dodgers in the National League Championship series as I'm predicting, the baseball world could be in for some extremely thrilling games. Both teams have good pitching staffs and offenses that can seemingly score at will at times. What it will come down to is which of the teams is hot at the right time. For me, I'm putting my money on the Dodgers.
WORLD SERIES (Begins October 21st)
Angels Vs. Dodgers
Winner: Angels
A World Series matchup between the Angels and Dodgers would be incredible for baseball fans everywhere around the country. Not only are the two ballparks a mere thirty miles apart, but this would also be a Fall Classic matchup of two of the best teams in their given divisions. With both the Dodgers and Angels having good lineups, this could be a back and forth series. But regardless of their pitching being an issue, I feel the Angels will find a way to go the distance, coming out on top over the Dodgers.
Leave a comment with who you have winning the World Series. I'd love to hear your picks.

The 2014 Major League Baseball regular season is in the books. Starting in Australia and ending six months later, this year was one of the most exciting seasons in recent history. But before things begin to heat up with the postseason starting on Tuesday (I'll be posting my playoff predictions either tomorrow or early Tuesday), I wanted to do one final "latest leaders" post to finalize the season leaders in nearly every hitting and pitching category imaginable.

Several Teams On the Outside Looking In
Inevitably each and every Major League Baseball season a handful of teams fail to live up to expectations placed on them at the start of the year. Whether a team simply doesn't play to the best of their ability, or if it's injuries that keeps them from performing well, a few teams always end up short of where they were projected to finish the year.
The Diamondback's, Rangers, Red Sox and Rays are all examples of that from the 2014 season. People from all over the baseball world selected the majority of those teams to make solid pushes at the postseason, but all of them but the Rays are going to finish dead last in their division (the Rays will finish fourth in the American League east). Truly disappointing endings for what were supposed to be promising teams.
On the flip side, a few teams that no one saw coming always go on a major run in any given year, passing big time teams, and leaving many people scratching their heads as to how they're doing it.
But while the winning streaks of underdog teams are always exciting, a lot of those type of teams can't keep up their torrid runs for an extended period of time, subsequently falling back down to their normal levels, and missing the playoffs.
For the Marlins, Brewers and Yankees, they were those type of teams this season. No one saw them doing much of anything with the rosters they had going into the season, but they each went on runs at one point or another this season, proving a bunch of people wrong. None more so than the Brewers, who ended up being one of the biggest rise and fall team in years.
After leading the National League central division for 150 days of the season, the Brewers went into a major, major slump. A slump that caused them to plummet through the standings, currently sitting five games back of the second Wild Card spot. With under a one percent chance of making the postseason according to MLB.com, the Brewers' year is all but over, despite their great efforts.
The Indians and Mariners are a couple of teams that are still in the race for the second Wild Card but are likely going to miss out, even after great runs this year gave their fans something to get excited about. Given under an eight percent chance of the postseason, it's going to take an unprecedented string of events for either of them to make it in. But as has been proven time and time again with baseball, anything can happen.
Yankees Blow Win & Chances of Making the Playoffs
Any shot the New York Yankees had of making the playoffs this season — however small a shot it may have been — was all but officially eliminated on Sunday night at Camden Yards. A blown save by their recently "overused" closer, David Robertson, resulted in a walk off hit by former Yankee, Kelly Johnson, trimming the Orioles' magic number to win the division down to three, and the Yankees' elimination number down to a mere two.
While the Yankees are technically still in the race, with their Wild Card elimination number standing at ten games, it's going to take an unprecedented run like baseball has never seen before for the Yankees to pull off the near miracle of making the postseason.
Just 2.5 games back of the second Wild Card as recently as August 27th, things have simply gone downhill for them ever since.
Now five games back of the second Wild Card, which the Royals currently hold, the Yankees surely aren't going to have an easy finish to the season that would allow for a possible push at the Wild Card, especially with the struggling team they possess.
Playing all American League east teams for their remaining fourteen games — Rays for three, Blue Jays for four, Orioles for four, and Red Sox for three — it's still going to be fun to watch how they finish out 2014.
It certainly would have been nice for Derek Jeter to be able to play in one final playoff run, having won five career World Championships, but it's unfortunately not the way his career will end. With the Yankees losing three of four games in their recent series against the Orioles, the Bronx Bombers currently hold just over a one percent chance of making the playoffs, according to MLB.com; further securing the fact that Jeter's amazing career will come to an end September 28th at Fenway Park, and not sometime in October as was once hoped.
But while the Yankees aren't seemingly playoff bound, and although they're somewhat of an overall disaster, and overlooking the subpar numbers that Derek Jeter has been posting this season, make sure you take the time to watch a Yankees game or two before the end of the season rolls around. The Yankees will be back in 2015, likely stronger than ever, with some offseason additions that will once again make them competitive in the division. But the one thing they're guaranteed not to have is Derek Jeter.
That's one element of the Yankees that you need to enjoy right now.
There's not much more time left to do so.
Jose Altuve Records His 200th Hit of 2014
With a sharply hit ground ball that bounced its way into left field, Jose Altuve notched his name into the record books on Wednesday night, recording his 200th hit of the 2014 season. Just the second Astros player to ever reach that mark, and the first player in Major League Baseball to do so since 2009, Altuve is undeniably having a career season that many players only dream about.
Altuve leads all of the majors in hits (27 more hits than the next closest player), batting average (.336) and multi hit games. In addition, with his 52nd stolen base on Wednesday, Altuve also leads the American League in steals, and joins a rather elite group of players to have recorded 200 or more hits to go along with 50 or more stolen bases in a season, with Jose Reyes being the last to accomplish that feat back in 2008.
Although the Astros' playoff drought continues, having not made the playoffs since 2005, Altuve has been one of the many bright spots on the team, with several players having standout years. While Altuve is having the best all around season of them all, players such as Chris Carter and George Springer are also having great years for the Astros, despite holding low batting averages.
However, low batting average is a major issue with the entire Astros team, with only two other players besides Altuve batting over .250 on the season. That's something that will need to be addressed for next year, but with this being the first year since 2010 that the Astros are going to finish with a record of fewer than 100 losses, things are definitely moving in the right direction.
Jose Altuve reflected that in his comments on Wednesday, stating, "We win this game and get 200 hits and the momentum we're having right now, it's pretty special for me. The team is playing great. I couldn't ask for more. We're going outside, playing hard, we're winning, and I think that makes me feel really good."
While I don't see a playoff push anytime soon for the Astros — playing in the difficult American League west division that includes a good Mariners, Angels, Athletics, and Rangers team (once they return to full health) — they could definitely make things interesting next season. With their offense clicking fairly efficiently, and their pitching doing terrific (Astros starters are now 6-0 with a 1.95 ERA in the team's past 10 games), the Astros are certainly a team to watch.
Having won eight of their last ten games, over which Altuve has recorded 16 hits to make for a .390 average, the Astros are giving their fans something to get excited about for the first time in quite awhile. With Jose Altuve approaching the Astros' all-time hit leader for a season, Craig Biggio, who recorded 210 hits in 1998, Astros fans should be excited about where this team is headed.
Though they may not be raising a World Series trophy anytime soon, they're slowly but surely finding a way to win games against good teams. That's something to look forward to seeing more and more as the seasons go on, with Jose Altuve leading the way.
Latest MLB Leaders (March 22nd – August 31st)
With the first five months of the 2014 MLB season in the books, I thought I'd take the first day of the new month to recap the season thus far. It's been exciting, as well as disappointing — depending on how you look at it, and who you're rooting for.
But instead of talking about the events that have taken place so far this year, I decided to make a list of different categories and beside them name the player(s) that leads that particular category.

Heading into the Final Month of the 2014 MLB Season
It's hard to believe, but the 2014 Major League Baseball regular season is almost over. Today marks exactly one month until the final games of the season, on September 28th, and teams are making their final push towards the postseason, with every player doing their best to finish out the season strong. With all of this going on, I thought I'd post an entry on the five main storylines I plan to watch throughout the final stretch.
200 Hits for Jose Altuve
Leading all of baseball in batting average (.332) and with 14 more hits on the season than the player with the second most hits, Jose Altuve is well on his way to recording his first 200 hit season of his career. With 181 hits this year, Altuve should easily make it to what has become a somewhat rare achievement.
The last time any player recorded 200 or more hits in a season was back in 2009, when Derek Jeter, Ichiro Suzuki, Ryan Braun and Robinson Cano all did it. For Altuve, he's set to become only the second Astros player to ever record 200 hits in a season, with Craig Biggio, doing so in 1998, being the other.
Though Altuve is too far back to break Ichiro Suzuki's all-time hit record for a season of 262 hits, it should be interesting to see how many hits he can amass in this final month.
Race for Stolen Base Lead
After Billy Hamilton set the all-time single season stolen base record for the minor leagues back in 2012, stealing 155 bases that year, many people began to proclaim Hamilton as the next Rickey Henderson. Those are some lofty expectations that Hamilton hasn't quite been able to live up to, with Hamilton sitting on 50 stolen bases (the youngest Reds player to ever reach 50 stolen bases in a season) for the season and Rickey Henderson having stolen 100 bags in his first full year.
Hamilton currently sits eight stolen bases back of the leader, Dee Gordon, so he definitely has some work to do if he wants to finish out the year on top. But despite not running away in the stolen bases category like many people initially believed he would, Hamilton has done a phenomenal job of making adjustments this year. After a horrid start to the season, Hamilton has really turned things around, and if he can continue to get on base, he has the potential to rack up a ton of stolen bases in a short period of time.
How Jose Abreu Finishes the Year
Proving to have been one of the most valuable offseason pickups, Jose Abreu is posting one of the best rookie seasons we've seen in years.
Currently sitting on 33 home runs (he has a good shot at winning the home run crown, tied with Chris Carter and Giancarlo Stanton, and one back of only Nelson Cruz), 96 RBI's and a .312 batting average, Abreu has done nothing but produce all season long, leading many to believe that he has the American League Rookie of the Year award completely locked up.
At one point in time, there was a good chance that Abreu would break the all-time home run record for a rookie, set by Mark McGwire back in 1987, when he blasted 49 home runs. But Abreu will inevitably come up just short of that mark, due in part to a brief stint on the disabled list earlier in the year.
Even so, Abeu will likely wind up with around 40 home runs for the season, and will be a major asset for the White Sox for years to come.
American League West Division
It can't much tighter than it currently is in the American League West, as the Angels lead the Athletics by a mere game in the standings. With just a few more weeks of games, this is undoubtedly the division to watch most closely throughout the rest of the season. However, the wild card spots are looking to be just as intriguing, in both leagues.
On the American League side of things, whichever team doesn't win the AL west between the Angels and A's will end up taking the first wild card spot, but the Mariners, Tigers and even the Yankees are going to be fighting hard for that second wild card spot. In the National League, the Cardinals hold a slight lead for the first wild card, but the second one is anyone's for the taking between the Giants, Braves, Pirates and Marlins, if they can keep pace through the month of September. It should be interesting to see which teams get the job done.
Derek Jeter's Final Month of His Career
After having a disastrous 2013 season, in which he was injured and posted measly stats, Derek Jeter announced at the beginning of the year that 2014 would be his last. Therefore, all eyes are on Jeter to see how he performs in the final month of his farewell season. So far, Jeter isn't doing terrible, but he's not doing all that great either, batting just .267 with 3 home runs and 36 RBI's.
But although Jeter isn't producing all that much, he will still go down as one of baseball's all-time greats, with over 3,400 career hits.
The one thing on everyone's mind, however, is whether or not the Yankees can make the playoffs to give Jeter the chance at a sixth career World Series title.
Sitting 2.5 games back of the second wild card, there's still a shot that the Yankees make it in, but it's going to take a good amount of terrific play for them to reach the postseason.
Are the Tigers On the Verge of Disaster?
Heading into the 2014 Major League Baseball season, there weren't very many people around the baseball world who didn't have the Tigers winning the American League Central division. Citing the fact that the Tigers have one of the best starting rotations in all of baseball, in addition to a really good lineup that includes, arguably, the best hitter in all of baseball, Miguel Cabrera, a lot of pre season predictions had the Tigers completely running away with the division. But with around five weeks of games remaining in the season, the Tigers finishing in first place isn't a lock, as it was once viewed.
A game and a half back of the division leading Royals, the Tigers have some work to do to retake their lead in the Central.
Back on July 31st, the Tigers made a move that seemed certain to help them pull away from the Royals. In a three team trade with the Rays and Mariners, the Tigers sent Austin Jackson to Seattle, who in return sent Nick Franklin to the Rays, with the Tigers sending Drew Smyly and a prospect to the Rays in exchange for David Price.
Though Price hadn't been overly dominant before the trade went down, a team with David Price is much better off than a team without David Price. And that has proven to be true in his few starts since the trade.
In Price's most recent outing at his long time home, Tropicana Field, Price had one of his best games of the season. Going eight innings, giving up just a single hit, Price was fantastic on Thursday afternoon. However, Alex Cobb, who was on the mound for the opposing team, was just as good. In the end, despite the amazing pitching performance by Price, he was handed the loss, as the Tigers failed to provide any run support whatsoever.
If the Tigers want to win the division and not be faced with a one-game playoff that comes with a Wild Card spot — a spot that isn't guaranteed by any means, as the Mariners currently sit just a half game back of the second Wild Card — they're, obviously, going to have to start playing better as a team than they have been recently.
The day the David Price trade occurred, the Tigers were in a great spot. Sitting in first place, four games ahead of the Royals, the acquisition of Price looked to only improve their team, which was already seemingly on the way to another division title.
But while Price has done his job for the most part, as has the always terrific Max Scherzer, the remainder of the pitching staff, along with the lineup, has been hit and miss from one night to the next, with their entire bullpen being subpar at best.
Justin Verlander hasn't been the same caliber pitcher he once was in quite some time; Joe Nathan, who they acquired to strengthen their bullpen, hasn't been that great; and although Miguel Cabrera is having a good year, he's currently on pace to finish out the season around 20 home runs and 30 RBI's shy of the unbelievable numbers of 44 home runs and 137 RBI's he posted in 2013.
Those three players are going to have to catch fire for the Tigers to take off in any major way.
With the entire Tigers team underperforming for the most part at the moment, and with the Mariners right behind them, threatening to overtake their playoff chances, the Tigers are experiencing quite a bit of struggles. Though they'll likely find some sort of groove at some point in September, the Tigers are doing extremely poor in comparison to where they should be with the talent they have. If, somehow, the Tigers miss the postseason altogether, it would be nothing short of a disastrous season on their part.

In the early hours of April 2, someone made an attempt to enter my home. The back door was jerked abruptly open with enough force to break the chain locks. I admit, my response was one of panic.
This is in response to the letter to the editor, "Classmates dispute Marsh's claim of racism," in the April 2 edition of The Lancaster News.
I'm really embarrassed about a mistake in the Wednesday edition of The Lancaster News and I'd like to apologize to our readers, advertisers and my co-workers for it.
I've been so busy for the last month that I haven't been reading the Bible very much. But, trust me, it is still relevant and reliable as it was 2,000 years ago.
Here, I'll prove it.
Ecclesiastes 4:9 talks about how "two is better than one because they have a good return on their work."
Lancaster is a town divided. Seemingly it has always been this way: conservatives vs. liberals, Baptists vs. Presbyterians, traditionalists vs. progressives, "haves" vs. "have-nots." Clearly, it's not just our little corner of the world, but, sadly, it is true that derision is overwhelming our fair city right now.
If you have been following the political news recently, you already know the current topic of derision.
I'd like to make a few comments about the City Council's decision to go against the grievance committee's vote to reinstate officer Pat Parsons. Why does the city have a grievance committee if it disregards its findings?
The grievance committee figured out from the facts that the verdict was excessive.
How do you get young people trained to fight fires? Well, it's not easy.
It requires 300 hours of training to be certified by the state as a firefighter.
And that naturally takes time – time that not too many people can commit to a job that, in most cases, is a volunteer job.
Lancaster County Emergency Management Director Morris Russell has an innovative idea about how to get more young people interested in the fire service. He wants the schools to develop a two-year, four-hour elective class for the county's high schools.
Talking about the census and the 29707 ZIP code, it doesn't help much when businesses like our local telephone company still list residents of Indian Land in the Fort Mill, York County, directory. We have complained for three years and haven't gotten anywhere.
The S.C. House of Representatives is now debating the 2010-11 budget.
Debating and prioritizing the wisest use of your tax dollars is the single biggest responsibility you place on us as legislators.
As a conservative, I start any budget with the premise that we are not spending the government's money, we are spending your money.

Private sector eyes increased role in funds
A global shift towards relying on private savings, and away from state provision, should be positive for the financial sector – but the shift is neither uniform nor rapid, and developing nations are sure to favour their domestic financial industries first.
All else being equal, private pension funds help to develop domestic capital markets, and are usually willing local buyers of government debt. They also help guard citizens against the risk that future governments will change the rules – a point that some UK public-sector pensioners, whose incomes were cut in 2011 after the government tied them to a lower rate of inflation, can appreciate.
Elizabeth Corley, chief executive of Allianz Global Investors, one of the world's biggest fund managers, said: "On a long-term view, there is a structural shift towards private occupational pensions. For our industry, pensions and retirement savings are definitely an area of growth."
According to research by Allianz, state provision is shrinking in almost all developed economies. Corley said: "Even if you look at Germany and France, which are close to the top of the league table for state spending on pensions, it has reduced."
In Germany, the state pension system accounted for 78% of average retirement income in 2000 but, by 2010, this had fallen to 70%. In France, it dropped from 80.6% to 73.2% in the same period.
Some governments are even making private pension savings compulsory. In Australia, occupational DC schemes became mandatory in 1992. All employees currently pay in 9% of salary and this is being gradually increased to 12% by 2020. As a result Australia has built up pension funds worth A$1.6 trillion, around the same size as the country's GDP – a total predicted to grow to 180% of GDP by 2033. Others are now following Australia's lead, notably the UK.
Such vast pools of assets represent an obvious business opportunity for asset managers. There is a similarly large opportunity for insurers as well, because DC pension pots are usually converted to insurance contracts called annuities upon retirement. Steve Webb, UK minister for pensions, told Financial News in September: "We are putting six to nine million people into DC pensions over the next five years, so there will be a hell of a lot of annuitisation going on."
Webb is pressuring UK insurers to facilitate greater shopping around in the annuity market, and considering fee caps for asset managers running the money. Stricter regulations for providers are also being introduced in Australia.
Some previous pensions privatisations have not worked out as planned. Argentina renationalised its system in 2008, Hungary did so in 2010.
In the past few months, Poland has embarked upon a similar move – though it stopped short of full renationalisation. In February, it will cancel all Polish government bonds owned by pension funds – about 51% of their assets. The remainder, invested in equities and other forms of debt, will remain with the private sector funds and managers.
Dariusz Stanko, of the International Organisation of Pensions Supervisors, said these moves did not amount to "stealing" pension assets, because they have effectively been replaced with paper "IOUs". The Polish reform will reduce public debt by about 8% of GDP, he said, but will also increase reliance on foreign lenders, who now account for a larger part of the bond market.
According to Michael Herrmann, economic adviser to the UN Population Fund, privatisation might not even be economically necessary everywhere. He said: "I am not a big fan of completely private systems. In some countries, schemes are only buying domestic government bonds, so why have a private system at all? The only people to benefit are the intermediaries."
Herrmann argues that public pay-as-you-go systems can stay affordable even as longevity rises, provided the country's output per worker grows faster than the number of pensioners per worker. He said that, on this basis, "Germany and Japan can finance their ageing populations – but Portugal, and Greece, and Italy, and Spain might struggle".
Some countries have reformed public pensions without involving the private sector. Italy embarked on a radical restructuring in 2011, moving the state system to a model known as "notional DC", a pay-as-you-go system that reduces payouts if life expectancy keeps increasing.
For the finance industry, the largest potential opportunity lies in the emerging markets. The two population giants, India and China, are both moving in the direction of funded, invested pension schemes – but progress is likely to be slow.
China introduced a funded element to its state system for urban workers in 1997, with contributions worth 8% of salary diverted into individual DC accounts. About $394 billion has been saved in this system so far, according to Hong Kong-based consultancy Stirling Finance. Despite problems with some provincial governments "raiding" the accounts, they could be worth as much as $1.8 trillion by 2030.
Stuart Leckie, chairman of Stirling Finance, said: "Currently, individual account assets have to be invested in Chinese government bonds or bank deposits. We have argued for a long time that they need to get exposure to real assets. Our solution is they should permit up to 15% of the money to be invested into ETFs or index funds, invested in the Chinese stock market."
The Chinese system also includes a $175 billion reserve fund, known as the National Social Security Fund. This is intended to act as a model for pension investment in China, and has begun employing some foreign fund managers in order to invest abroad, as well as taking on the management of individual-account money from several provinces.
India, meanwhile, reformed its civil service pension scheme into a DC arrangement, known as the National Pension System, in 2004, and began offering it to non-government workers in 2009. The government offers a 1,000-rupee ($16) incentive known as the Swavalamban Scheme to encourage the poor and rural workers to contribute.
The NPS now has about five million members and about $5 billion under management. According to Kavim Bhatnagar, a former Indian civil servant who helped design the system, its investment rules are being liberalised. The eight authorised NPS fund managers are all India-based groups, and must contend with management fees capped at 0.25% of assets. But DSP BlackRock Investment Managers – a joint venture between BlackRock and the local financial group DSP – joined the list in October last year.
Allianz Global Investors' Corley said: "It's quite right that emerging economies should want to stimulate their local industries first, rather than have it all go offshore. We will always be competing with local players."

FAIRBANKS — Water is an important coffee ingredient, which is why Alaska Coffee Roasting Co. is trucking water to its new coffee stand location inside the Museum of the North.
The coffee house began operating a coffee stand July 1 inside the University of Alaska museum. Unlike its predecessor at the museum, the business hasn't been satisfied with using a filter to remove the minerals from the university water.
FAIRBANKS — Fairbanks City Hall is now dedicated to a man who devoted his career to keep the city running.
A plaque renaming Fairbanks City Hall to Patrick B. Cole City Hall was unveiled at a midday ceremony Tuesday.
Cole, a chief of staff for eight Fairbanks mayors, liked to work behind the scenes. Ironically, he would have hated the idea of having the city hall named after him, Cole's younger brother, Dermot Cole, told the audience at Tuesday's dedication.
FAIRBANKS — Henry the outreach reindeer likes to play in water sprinklers, sample lichen from the hands of children and prance around the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus on a leash.
Thanks to his charisma, bystanders come to him from all sides to see him. They leave more informed about the Arctic's unique domesticated species thanks to Henry's handler Jennifer Robinette.
FAIRBANKS — Many of the Alaskana scenes that have gone up around metal railings in Fairbanks recently come from the same place: Alaska Ornamental Iron's workshop off Chena Pump Road.
Bears, moose, miners and mountain climber silhouettes fill a computer file in the workshop of business owner Warren Flynn. The scenes built from these images get transferred to metal sheets by means of a plasma cutter, a tool that cuts through metal with compressed air heated to very high temperatures.
FAIRBANKS — If energy and passion alone could build a roller skating rink, Floyd Terry would have long ago blanketed Fairbanks in family-friendly skating venues.
Since 1998, when Fairbanks' Polar Roller closed (it later switched to ice skating), Terry has worked to get a roller skating rink back in Fairbanks, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported.
FAIRBANKS — Richard Oehrig spends his lunch hours laying railroad track and carefully gluing pieces of scale-size gravel along the tracks. Sometime he's so busy with his project that he doesn't eat.
"When you're modeling there's always something you can improve on or make better," he said during a tour of his new O-scale model railway. "The thrill for me is you have to know something about everything from carpentry ... to mechanics."
KODIAK — Anchorage has been described as Alaska's largest village, so it makes sense that it's become a second home for the native language of the Kodiak archipelago.
KODIAK — One man's bonfire is another man's raw material to build an Adirondack chair.
About six months ago, Andy Hathcock began using recycled wooden shipping pallets to make chairs, benches, cubbies, chests and other types of furniture. What started as a way to keep occupied has grown into a handful of commissioned jobs as word of his work has spread around the island.
His recent work includes the benches at the Java Flats coffee shop in Bell's Flats and the tables at Hope Community Resources, where his wife works.
FAIRBANKS — Kristen Sullivan didn't think homemade dog biscuits would take over her life when she made her first batch in 2009.
As she remembers it, she began experimenting with baking dog treats when it was 40 below outside her small cabin off Goldhill Road. She named the snacks after her dog Ruby, who later died when she was hit by a car. Early batches were based on ingredients Sullivan researched on the web.

I am very happy with these headers! They are built very well. I have aftermarket SOLO Performance Mach 44 cat back exhaust and they have made the exhaust sound even better than it did previously. I installed myself and would say it wasn't too difficult, maybe took 4-5 hours total to install by myself. Note: I did not have to remove the dipstick tube or steering column on the drivers side. The header easily lifted in from below without any issues.

|Beneteau Yachts is renowned worldwide for its construction of sailing boats and yachts, with a long history of wins and awards. In 1884, Benjamin Beneteau, a qualified ship building worker, decides to build fishing trawlers and opens Beneteau Boatyards in the town of Croix-de-Vie in France. In the mid sixties Benjamin's grandchildren Annette Bťnťteau Roux and her brother Andrť Bťnťteau introduced a line of fiberglass boats. Madame Roux is still active in leadership. Today, the locations where Beneteau boatbuilding occurs are five factories in the Vendee area of France, and one factory in Marion, South Carolina. The Beneteau group includes other yachting companies of CNB, and Wauquiez. Beneteau yachts lead the yacht building industry in offshore miles. Beneteau builds several lines of sailing boats/yachts, including the First line of 21 to 48 foot cruiser/racers, the Oceanis Clipper cruising line from 32 feet to 46 feet, and a custom series of 50 and 57 foot-long yachts. Beneteau has five factories in the Vendťe department of France and one US plant in Marion, South Carolina. The Beneteau USA plant opened in 1986; since then the factory has nearly doubled in size to about 250,000 square feet (23,000 m2), with roughly $25 million of total capital invested in the US. This is considered to be an advanced marine factory; it is newer than most of its competitor's factories.

Lindsay Lohan is a mess after her breakup with Samantha Ronson.
"It's absolute hell," says the starlet in an Us Weekly interview.
Ronson broke it off with Lohan last Friday and even had security bar her from a party at the Chateau Marmont. Lohan claims that it was "humiliating" because other stars who walked past were unkind as well. Nicole Richie supposedly said, "Uck," while Drea De Matteo challenged, "Come at me, bitch."
"Everyone's turned on me," laments Lohan who adds that she's "so alone" without her girlfriend.
Later, Ronson changed the locks on her home and even inquired about a restraining order, which she didn't pursue.
Ever since, Lohan has been distraught, so much so that friends and family fear she might hurt herself.
The actress denies threatening to kill herself, but acknowledges, "I'm just really hurt. The whole situation is sick."
Meanwhile, Radaronline.com reported that on Monday night, Lohan was back to her old, pre-rehab habits, chugging vodka straight from the bottle at a Hollywood nightclub.

Posted on 05/08/2013 8:58:20 PM PDT by Windflier
Police have started searching properties near the home where three missing women were imprisoned for a decade after one of the victims told police there could be other girls, it has emerged.
Michelle Knight, who was found at the Cleveland home on Monday after being held against her will for more than 10 years, said that there was another girl at the home around 10 years ago.
But Knight, who herself was kidnapped in 2002, said the victim then disappeared.
In police interviews she added that she did not know how many other women were in the house because they were all locked in separate rooms, Fox News reported.
The details could give hope to the family of Ashley Summer, who was 14 when she vanished on July 6, 2007 in the same neighborhood from where Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus were taken.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
"Kidnap victim reveals there was ANOTHER girl being held at the house before she vanished - sparking police to search other properties"
Was one of them best friends with the guys daughter? Or was that someone else. So many news clips I half paid attention to.
The poster boys for immigration reform and amnesty
- Here in the US over fifty (50) years
When did they start voting democrat?
Are they actually legal US citizens?
Are they living using gravestone names and info?
Were all these women used to collect welfare, get housing benefits, food stamps, etc?
- and the two other brothers "knew nothing"
That is a crock - is the DA trading for an easy conviction?
I suggest the Tm Jefferson Virginia Crime Plan solution -
- confiscate all assets!
- draw and quarter the bastards!
They were born here, which makes them US citizens. It would be the same, even if they were born in Puerto Rico, which is a territory of the US.
WTF is happening to our society.
Apparently, you aren't knowledgeable about U.S. civics. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, and Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens since 1917.
You got me. First I've heard of that.
There are a bunch more articles on this story at the link. Way too many to post here tonight. Lots and lots of information is coming out about all this.
maybe it was an interview with someone who knew the victim back when
aren't they handsome?
Yup - PR citizens
But the MSM said they were here for 50 years
The reliable MSM
They could have been from any number of countries.....
Like -
The Man of a Thousand Social Security Numbers
What do we really know about Obama
He could pass for being born in San Juan
Puerto Rico is known transit spot for illegals to grab a plane to NJ with an alleged midwife birth from some rural area
Like Muzzies from Mexico now
Americans need a State Birth Certificate
Others - not so
Barry Hussein Opansy
Yes, one of them was, Gina DeJesus.
They're Porta Rican...legal citizens.
<......"WTF is happening to our society".....>
People without God or conscious....when restraint is gone the depravity of men "grows" more and more.
Further there are no consequences....prison is as if staying in hotel rooms...and first offenders and more keep on walking.
Handsome? You think they are handsome?! They are sick looking. The only thing more sick than how they look is their sick twisted inhuman souls. How could you even possibly think they are handsome?!!!!
Obviously I was joking
Ah yes.....I do believe I did see a passing reference to Gina DeJesus having been a friend of Castro's daughter.
That's why she accepted the car ride from him, and wound up as his prisoner. She trusted him because he was her friend's father.
How does he kidnap his daughters friend and nobody notices? How can he keep them for years and nobody else know?
I really really doubt that noobdy else knew.
They should go back to between 2000-2002 to see what women might have disappeared in the area..I had heard yesterday that inside the basement where these women were being held hostage, on the wall it says RIP and the name of a woman
- I am here to confuse & offend
Hordes brought in from Puerto Rico to work in truck farming in South Florida
They tend to go for the belly with a knife on Saturday nights - while the baracks wanted to "just leave my mark" on your face
But what do I know.....
He kept the women locked in a 1,200 square foot basement for years before transferring them to the second floor.
In either case, that house is over a hundred years old, and built so solid that noise inside was easily concealed. There was also the beatings and terror he inflicted on these women for so long. They were terrified he'd kill them if they tried to escape, or did anything to try and tip off outsiders.
One article even said that he'd installed some sort of heavy storm door inside the house. I presume that door led to some area where the women were held captive.
Apparently, the authorities are doing just that, hence the posted article. I have a feeling that before this is all over, Castro's going to start singing like a bird, and lots more will come out.
The three freed women will probably help investigators tie the loose ends of unsolved missing persons cases to this guy. This thing is just getting started, I'll bet.
Give it a rest, will ya?
It's been established that the three Castro brothers were born here. It's their father who originally moved to the mainland from Puerto Rico.
the basement is that big?
I think you've been hanging out with Jack Daniels tonight.
A Freeper who's very knowledgeable about the old houses in that area ran it down on another thread tonight. They basically had a full floor underground.
That is interesting. Could be zombie proof?
Doubt it. Zombies would set the house on fire and the whole thing would cave in on you.
Need reinforced concrete roof.
I guess Stockholm Syndrome doesn't work well when you beat them and kill their babies.
I heard today on Greta that this schmuck has been "Smirking" a lot in prison..seems to be enjoying himself..wrote a suicide note a few years ago blaming the victims for "Getting into his car" and his horrible childhood..oh boo boo..just fry this guy..make him into a crispy critter..oh and I can pretty much guarantee this jackass has kidnapped more women before, you don't wake up one day in 2003 and decide to snatch someone off the street
I do not care how well built the house is. You cannot tell me that nobody in the family knew about this. So yeah they had a 1200 foot basement. So what?
Nobody ever asked "Hey dad, why can't I go down there in the basement with you where you spend so much time?"
Nobody ever asked "How come it looks like we buy food for three or 4 more people?"
Sorry no buying it. Somebody knew. They may have been frightened or abused or something but somebody knew
I think I heard that Gina DeJesus was a friend of Ariel Castro's daughter.
Read yesterday in an interview with the 30+ year old son, that the Mother moved the son and two sisters out in 1993 after years of abuse. The son said he'd hardly be back at the house, maybe a few times a year for short visits. So, it's not like the scum's family was living there all this time he had the women in the basement.
Not only was he the father of her close friend, but he was also her bus driver.
I think the mother and kids had moved out.
But yeah, I understand your skepticism. There's another story where he so tortured his ex-wife that she went and the kids went to live with her new boyfriend's family. Then the father put the daughters up to accusing him of sex abuse.
It took the son, the one who had written a news story about the abductions, to clear the boyfriend's name by testifying that the father had just made it all up.
Oh, and then the FBI suspected the boyfriend of the abductions. He told them that Castro was the real monster, who with his pattern of chaining and abusing his wife was the one who should be checked out—but the FBI declined to investigate him.
There is so much ignorance around in the media today. I was listening to the press conference yesterday while driving home. I was literally cringing over the questions. I find myself cringing over a lot of posts by people who have not been paying attention or taking ten seconds to find out the true story.
It's almost not worth reading comments anymore.
Because the family lived in another house.
Please do some reading before being indignant.
Get some sleep, take a sip of coffee and look up the meaning of "sarcasm" and "irony".
It's so absolutely implausible that the other brothers knew nothing or were innocent. BTW, how many sets of fifty something brothers do you know who all live in the same house? How the hell could they not know? If I was the DA, I'd be more inclined to indict the mailman than free the brothers.
I got it.
Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens
- draw and quarter the bastards!
Only one of the three was involved; the other two were clueless according to a report last night. Draw and quarter only those involved.
Last I heard, they did not live there with their brother.
The two brothers didn't live with their kidnapping brother. That's been stated in news reports numerous times.
The only reason they were arrested, is that they just happened to be with Ariel Castro when he was captured.
I know you were. I was trying to be funny but it might not have worked. Sorry. Again, I knew you were joking.
I only forgot to add the sarcasm tags myself. I got it.

In this all-digital era, do you still use paper notebooks and planners? Raise your hand if you still do! I'm a HUGE fan of paper and pencil and I can't quite imagine life without them yet. I'm the type of learner and do-er that recalls things better by writing them down of rather than chomping away on my laptop or phone.
My 6am essentials
Two months ago, I've made a big decision: I decided to shift my masters degree programs. From MBA Juris Doctor, I weighed all aspects, dropped the bomb, and approached my bosses for a recommendation for my admission to MA in Language and Literacy. Unless we've been friends forever offline, you probably didn't know that I hold 1 degree and 2 diplomas: BSBA in Info Services Management and Diplomas in Pre-school Education and Culinary Arts. I work full time in corporate and I volunteer as an assistant teacher (I haven't taken the LET yet) when time and bandwidth permits. My courses are not related at all (LOL) and they've helped me a whole lot in hacking this tricky thing called LIFE. *wink*
Now that I'm pressing myself to take my masters seriously (Lord help me with all my commitments at work and outside!), I need to be on point and focused on everything. I have several trips lined up until mid-2016, big projects at work that needs a lot of TLC, and my schooling is adding up to the toll. Keeping tabs on every single detail is a must and for the past two months, I've been getting good help from my new planner from Stradmore Notes.
Can I just say — how chic is my planner? It's perfect to go with my daily palette thanks to Laureen Uy who's partnered with Stradmore Notes to come up with this black, white, blush, and gold stationery. While it's designed for students (as it starts on June), it's also very fitting for yuppies who want a little help and dash of fun on their daily hustle.
There are 2 covers and I have both! 🙂 One is purely for work (stripes, a PR gift) and the other one is for school and other commitments (dots, purchased at National Book Store for Php 499.75). The in-between months sections are super shala.
Oui my birthday month!

Climatic Determinism: Then and Now

Announcement ID:
Climatic Determinism: Then and Now
National Hellenic Research Foundation
Athens, 18 – 20 July 2011
Climatic determinism has a very long and checkered history. It gave a framework for thinking about the relationship between the human and natural environments by making the climate a demiurge of social universe. In the past, climatic determinists put forward a species of political ethics whose self-serving claims about the environmental determination of virtue, value and privilege have long been subject of debate and criticism. Most problematically, the idea of climate as a key force in social development has naturalized existing forms of cultural domination, political hierarchy, economic dependency and racial inequity. While most of such thinking has been discredited, in recent years, the omnipresence of anthropogenic climate change has caused a resurgence of similar ideas, causing scholars and commentators to ask if these represent a revival of climatic determinism and, if so, with what consequences?
This question is especially relevant in today's policy domain, in which we see climate change as the most prominent environmental issue and one of the key forces in shaping of international politics, global economy and social theory. In this context, we have all become gradually aware that climatic trends, past and present, have a lot to do with the history of energy, political power, and technological innovation as much as they relate to distribution of goods and services and the legality of resource use and exploitation of fossil fuels. Furthermore, as scholars in geography and science studies argue, the nature and location of climate change are continually being negotiated, interpreted and produced through practices and knowledges, none of which can be said to dominate others, none of which can be called a master discourse.
And yet, paradoxically, much of environmental thinking, planning and doing these days is framed within a deterministic and reductionistic master discourse as a response to the unitary agency of climate change. In such a discourse, climate is seen as an external force that impacts the economy, affects countries, harms national security, hurts the world's poor, and potentially leads to global conflict. The UNDP Human Development Report, for example, calls for a 'fight against climate change,' while BBC and the Met Office say that 'tackling climate change will be one of the most important things this generation does.' In some instances, visual imagery designed to alert policy and popular audiences to climatic change, including the 'Burning Embers' image and the 'Tipping Points' lean towards an environmental deterministic interpretation of the climate change impacts. This framing of climate change rhetoric presents climate as more than just a trend of environmental change. Instead, it constructs it as an independent, self-contained and self-perpetuating mechanism with power to shape everyday life and structure the way we think about our common future(s).
Do such views constitute a revival of climatic determinism? How does the role of climate in today's world compare to its earlier roles in geography, earth sciences and political theory? How can historians and social scientists contribute to the scientific and political discussion of climate crisis?
Our 2-day meeting in Athens encourages historians, philosophers, sociologists, geographers, literary historians, and cultural theorists to reflect and debate about reductionist readings, deterministic explanations and the putative obviousness of the climate crisis in both the academic and the public spheres.
Abstracts will be reviewed by the Committee consisting of Georgina Endfield (Nottingham), James R. Fleming (Colby), George Vlahakis (Athens) and Vladimir Jankovic (Manchester).
Submission deadline: 1 April 2011.
Please send 200 word abstracts and a brief CV to

Haha, I'm quite sure my idea would never happen, but if we're going to dream we may as well dream big, right? And yeah, my speculation was kinda dark, but I think pokemon has been dealing with real world isues since it started. I get where you're coming from on that though.
...was the pokemon I missed Budew? I could have swore Budew was pure Grass, but I nonetheless had doubts.
Also, I imagine a Poison/Psychic type would be safe from itself if only by virtue of just being Poison/Psychic. I mean, Lanturn are perfectly healthy despite their typing, and all of those Grass/Poison types are still around. Even if we were to go at it with types, both Psychic and Poison resist Poison attacks, and Psychic's resistance to itself nullifies Poison's weakness. Poisonous creatures generally have an immunity to their own venom in some form, and psychokinesis is more often based around extreme discipline and focus than it is wild untamable power. It shouldn't be too difficult for the Psychic to make sure his own powers don't tear himself to shreds, and even if the poison was dangerous there must be some sort of trick to make it not dangerous. Maybe autohypnosis... yeah, maybe it is immune because it actively purges the knowledge that its body is dangerous from its mind... mind over matter and all that.
Edit: I couldn't help but notice that Cascoon isn't listed in the list of Poison type pokemon on the front page... not that I think anyone would particularly care, but wasn't it a poison type too?
Back after long, unwanted, unforseen Hiatus... Nothing worth noting in signature as of yet... : <

A group of Lancaster parents of school-aged children calling themselves Parents for Quality Education have organized an informational meeting for Nov. 21 about the controversial Common Core curriculum and its related standardized testing.
Presenters include Eric Mihelbergel, founder of NYSAPE.org, a statewide organization of education advocacy groups.
"Parents need to be aware and educated on the ruinous effects that a nationalized curriculum and excessive testing will have on our children for generations to come," said Heidi Indelicato, a Lancaster parent and meeting organizer, who is urging parents to attend and become a voice for their children.
The Nov. 21 meeting is from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Lancaster Municipal Building, 5423 Broadway. Free babysitting will be available.
On another note, volunteers from Vets HERD and Erie Community College's Red, White and Blue Team helped Saturday to re-roof the garage of Vietnam veteran Lee Burns on Brandel Street. Home Depot also donated to help the effort.
Burns served in the 123rd Transportation Brigade from 1964 to 1965. He suffers from a heart condition and service-related issues that have left him 50 percent disabled. The volunteer effort is part of community events honoring Veteran's Day and those who served.
Also this week:
• The Town Board is expected to vote on the proposed 2014 budget when it meets at 7 p.m. Monday in Town Hall, 21 Central Ave. The board first meets at 6:30 in a work session in council chambers.

Triazole™ represents a REVOLUTION for the sports nutrition industry. Never before has an anti-estrogen been so potent. The Triazole™ formula is based on a powerful all natural aromatase inhibitor in addition to being a strong liver protectant and powerful anti-oxidant! Triazole™ has been researched, developed and thoroughly tested by DS for two years in order to create the perfect product for size and strength. Triazole™ is the HPTA equalizer and here's why it can make a significant difference for your physique.
Estrogen is not all bad like many have been lead to believe. In fact, estrogen has SEVERAL beneficial effects for bodybuilders when it comes to packing on size but a balance has to be established. Too much estrogen and you open yourself up to estrogenic-related side effects including the DREADED "GYNO". Too little and you can hinder gains and even stop your sex drive dead in its tracks. This is where previous estrogen-controlling products went wrong – some completely annihilated estrogen, and others opposed the actions of testosterone in the brain leaving users with a libido so low they felt like they had been castrated. This is where Triazole™ differs.
Triazole™ the Estrogenic Equalizer!
Aromatase is the enzyme that converts androgens like testosterone into estrogens and is the main way that males generate estrogen.
Triazole™ introduces a BRAND NEW compound to the industry that we call pZole™. pZole™ is a NATURAL aromatase inhibitor (AI) found in the shrub Brassaiopsis glomerulata. Brassaiopsis glomerulata has been shown to contain several natural AI, of which, pZole™ has been shown to be the STRONGEST. In fact, during a comparison study with the leading, potent AI prescription drug there was NO STATISTICAL DIFFERENCE between it and pZole™ with regards to aromatase inhibition!
Triazole™ also introduces CAPE, an all-natural SERM (selective estrogen receptor modulator) found in bee propolis extract. While propolis contains many constituents, it is only CAPE that has been shown to DISPLACE estrogen from the estrogen receptor. If CAPE is occupying the estrogen receptor, then the estrogen hormone has no way to bind to it itself making CAPE a novel SERM! In addition, CAPE has been shown to down regulate estrogen receptor expression, or in other words, reduce the amount of estrogen receptors!

if all longs have limit orders in...sells will out number buys like 4 to 1...possibly spooking other longs and driving prices lower.
is it possible to see that the sell orders are ridiculous though? Wouldn't that give them a heads up?
Looks like a classic trap !
I see the same thing you do, and with tasr tanking the last few days I am surprised no one else sees what is going on here. Are you short? I am short 1700 shares. I just keep looking at the 2 month chart, wow what a BS climb to here. Money in the bank
I took you advice and sold all 210k shares, thanks for the info.
BS! I use scottrade and have 1700 short.
Looks like you may be right. I am guessing this after noon we will see 27 again. The only reason it is up now is short covering in the first palce.
I just tryed to see if it would take and you can't get anymore, give them a call captain dip
I see small deal size ,every time it tick up I see higher volume sold , I guees there are many new short position being open right now !
I am seeing the same thing. The only thing holding this up is amateurs holding on to false hope.
you still short on this thing?
it will only spook shorts if they cannot short my shares
a sell order at limit at **$150 GTC** is a good thing for a long
I can't wait for tomorrow morning, after todays transactions settle, so I can short some more
