Pitch Talk: Colorado
The Columbus Dispatch - May 10, 2013 11:56 AM
The Crew hosts Colorado on Saturday to close a three-game home stand, and that means we welcome one of our favorite guests back for this week's "Pitch Talk." Nick Groke covers the Rapids for The Denver Post, and you can keep up with everything Rapids-related by visiting their blog, The Terrace, by clicking here. You can also follow them on Twitter at @terraceblog.
You can check their blog later today for some of my thoughts on the Crew as asked by Groke. Now, for the questions:
1. It's been more than a year since these teams last met. Does Colorado bear any
resemblance to the team that opened the 2012 season by hosting the Crew?
The Rapids don't even resemble the team that opened the 2013 season. Ten of the 18 on Colorado's game day roster against Columbus in 2012 are gone (including Jeff Larentowicz and Omar Cummings). So is Conor Casey. And six more are unlikely to play or play significant minutes Saturday. Only Drew Moor and Brian Mullan -- both defenders -- will start again vs. the Crew. And even more, only half the players on the Rapids' opening day roster this season are likely to see real time Saturday. They're wrecked by injuries right now.
2. The Rapids are 3-1-1 in their last five after a rough start. What has started
Despite all their injuries, the Rapids have really gelled on the backline. In recent weeks the Colorado defense has benefitted from the combination of veteran Drew Moor in the middle next to 19-year-old homegrown Shane O'Neill. Moor is the captain in Pablo Mastroeni's absence and he's often a threat to score. O'Neill is getting all the time he can with Colorado now before he leaves for U.S. U-20 World Cup duty in June. Between them, they've kept the team in games.
3. Seven players have scored Colorado's eight goals. Is anyone emerging as a key offensive
threat, or do you see that remaining the case for the rest of the year?
This is the Rapids' biggest problem so far this season -- no player is emerging as an offensive threat. It seemed at first that rookie draft pick Deshorn Brown could be their go-to striker. He notched two goals early. But coach Oscar Pareja relied on him perhaps too much and slowed down after an injury. Edson Buddle scored for the first time last week. If he's back near full-strength this week, he could finally be the Rapids' target striker in the box. They hope. Otherwise, it's catch as catch can for scoring.
4. Who is one player Crew fans should keep an eye on?
That depends on who even plays! Last week, the Rapids used their most make-shift lineup of the season. This week, who knows? It's a new look every week. But rookie Dillon Powers has been a solid-footed box-to-box midfielder. He's sturdy, but still learning to be a threat. Brown is speedy when healthy, but he only played as a sub last week coming back from injury. Martin Rivero is a creative playmaker as the wheel. But he too was a sub last week. For the Rapids, the game will be decided by how well the backline stays in formation, via the Moor-O'Neill combo.
5. How much of a surprise has Clint Irwin been, and can he hold onto the starting
Clint Irwin is among the most intriguing stories in MLS this season. He started on trial as an undrafted player from the Charlotte Eagles of the USL. After regular starter Matt Pickens broke his arm and backup Steward Ceus let in a deciding goal after a major mistake against Dallas, Irwin stepped in and has since shined. He would be a runway rookie of the year contender, but technically he's not a rookie (since he played in the USL). But Irwin is presenting a real issue for Pareja and the team (even if it's a welcome problem). His goals-against average this season is half what Pickens' was in 2012. Irwin started the season as a cast-off trialist filling a bench spot for the reserve team. But with Pickens still weeks away from returning, Irwin has been playing himself into the Rapids No. 1 GK role.

54-29-11 (.633) mark over past five seasons
CEDAR RAPIDS—The Central College women's soccer team allowed a late goal, but held on for a 2-1 win over Iowa Conference opponent Coe on Saturday.
Playing on the Coe football field, the Dutch took the lead in the first period and added to it early in the second. The Kohawks (3-7-1 overall, 0-3-0 IIAC) cut the deficit to one with less than five minutes remaining in the game, but Central held on in the closing minutes.
"I am very proud of our women and how they performed on the road," coach Mike Kobylinski said. "Any win in this league is a big win."
Midway through the first period, forward Britt Hinton (junior, Davenport, West HS) put the Dutch on top for good. Hinton broke free from the defense and headed in a cross by defender Liz Daniels (junior, Oconomowoc, Wis.). It was her sixth goal of the season.
Less than nine minutes into the second period, forward Alayna Bailey (senior, Des Moines, Hoover HS) scored her league-leading 12th goal of the season.
"Britt and Alayna are a big part of our offense," Kobylinski said. "When they are clicking on all cylinders, we are a tough team to stop. Britt hung in there, played her heart out and got the goal. I challenged Alayna to make plays today and she responded."
Late in the first period, goalkeeper Sydney Lunardi (freshman, Bettendorf, Davenport Assumption HS) left the goal line to challenge a Coe forward, forcing an errant shot and preserving the lead. It was one of many big plays Lunardi made on the day.
"Sydney played great in goal," said Kobylinski. "Her saves and punch outs were huge and her game management was a big part of our success."
Coe scored in the 86th minute, but was unable to complete the comeback.
Central led in shots (14-8), shots on goal (7-4) and corner kicks (4-2). Bailey led the Dutch attack with four shots, three on goal and one goal. Lunardi made three saves in goal.
Kobylinski also credited midfielders Daniels, Hannah Davy (senior, Cottage Grove, Minn., Park HS) and Gabrielle Muse (junior, Waukee) for controlling the pace of play.
"We dominated possession, which was extremely important," said Kobylinski. "It is hard to play on a turf field, especially when you are not used to it. Liz, Hannah and Gabbi were all over the field and did very well. We need that to win games.
"Coe is a good team and their coach is taking that program in a positive direction. We saw that today."
Central (8-3-1 overall, 1-1-1 IIAC) is in non-conference action Tuesday at Westminster (Mo.) (2-7-1 overall). The Dutch shut out the Blue Jays 4-0 last season in Pella.

The death of Otto Zehm and subsequent federal trial of Karl Thompson has divided our community for six years and many were hoping for closure from Thursday's sentencing.
Federal prosecutors say our community was so upset about the city's handling of the Zehm case, that's why Mayor Mary Verner lost re-election and David Condon was voted into office. They also believe the Zehm case eroded public trust of the Spokane Police Department.
So the question is do you think Thompson's sentencing brings closure to our community? Can we move forward with trust in the system or are there still lessons to be learned from this case?

Police Chief Joe Treviño said the incident occurred at about 9:15 a.m. when a city employee walked into the city manager's office complaining about something.
Hamlett reportedly asked the man to leave or he would call the police. But the man refused.
So Hamlett called, and Patrolman Chris Haller showed up to defuse the situation.
However, Treviño said, the employee still refused, and at that point he because physical with the officer.
The chief said Haller used his Taser but did not fire the projectile into the employee. He simply pressed his Taser up against the employee's body and set off a 50,000-volt charge, disabling the unruly man.
According to an entry on the BPD's arrest log, 52-year-old José Bernal was taken into custody on a charge of criminal trespass.
The offense is a Class B misdemeanor. If found guilty, the defendant could be fined $2,000 and sentenced to 180 days in jail.

Many people who need long-term services and supports (LTSS) would like more options for receiving services in small residential settings. This fact sheet provides a brief overview of adult foster care, as a more intimate and homelike alternative to institutional care. As states attempt to "balance" LTSS to offer consumers a broader array of services, they need to consider how to develop, regulate, and fund an array of home and community-based services, including adult foster care.

Reaction: Merc, STR, Saub, Lotus
There were points in Brazili for Michael Schumacher, Jean-Eric Vergne, Kamui Kobayashi and Kimi Raikkonen.
- Related Content
Michael Schumacher: "What an exciting and eventful Grand Prix! Strangely enough, my last ever Formula One race began with a puncture which pushed me down the running order. But it's always been my philosophy to never give up - there's always a chance, you just have to keep going and seize it when it comes. It's a strange sort of coincidence that I've ended my Formula One career now in P7, which was my first ever qualifying result at Spa-Francorchamps 308 races ago. It also occurs to me that I was driving with the number seven on my car today and that I have seven world championship trophies in my cabinet. Congratulations to Sebastian Vettel on claiming his third world title in a row. I'm very proud of Sebastian and really thrilled for him. As early as the first lap, I suddenly found him blocking the track facing the wrong way, but then the two of us both staged great comebacks in the race. His performance also showed that you just have to keep plugging away. Even under these difficult conditions, my final Formula One race was tremendous fun, and I would once again like to thank the team and all my fans for their support over the past years. I've enjoyed the time we've spent together very much indeed."
Nico Rosberg: "That was definitely the longest race of my life today! The start was pretty good, and I was running in the top eight. After the puncture however, there was damage to the floor and I lost a lot of performance. So unfortunately I had no chance to fight back from there. It must have been a fantastic race for the fans here in Interlagos and watching on the TV and I hope they enjoyed the show. Congratulations to Sebastian on the world title which is very well deserved. For myself, I am now looking forward to next year and the chance to attack again. Many thanks to the team for all of their efforts this year which saw our first win together, and we can look forward to making further progress and a better 2013."
Toro Rosso:
Jean-Eric Vergne: "It's good to finish eighth, however, I am not so happy with myself, because I made the decision to stay out for a long time on the dry tyres and it proved not to be the right one, costing me a lap. The team gave me the opportunity to run the race as I saw best from the cockpit and I have learned a lot of valuable lessons from today. However, if the rain had stayed away it would have been a great decision! At the restart after the Safety Car came in, I was hanging back to get a run on Glock, but as I caught up, those in front were braking hard and I ran into him and I've already apologised to him for that. My pace on the slick tyres in the damp conditions was very good and it's nice to finish the final race of the season in the points."
Daniel Ricciardo: "The start was quite chaotic with several cars going off the track and people to avoid. I managed to make up a couple of places and my pace seemed okay. I was trying to hang on to those ahead as the conditions changed all the time. By around half race distance, we were looking in good shape, running in eighth or ninth place. More rain came after my first stop for fresh dry tyres, so I had to come in again, which obviously cost me time. In simple terms, it was a case of too many pit stops."
Kamui Kobayashi:
"I had a good start and stayed out of trouble. The beginning of the race was good. Then the track conditions became tricky with the drizzle and I had contact with Mark Webber's car. That was why we had to change the nose cone when I pitted for intermediate tyres after eight laps. At my second pit stop after 18 laps I changed to hard slick tyres. For some reason it was a rather long stop, but nevertheless afterwards I was in sixth again. I think we did my last pit stop one lap too late. The conditions were right for Intermediates again. However, the weather forecast apparently said something different and then we also had a problem with the front left. At the end I was much quicker than Michael (Schumacher) and tried to overtake him, but on the inside it was a lot wetter than on the racing line and I lost the rear. Overall I think it was a really good race. I was able to do my own race and fight. I am happy for the team and for myself that we have scored points in this our last race together. I want to thank Sauber for the good times we have had and now I will try to find myself a Formula One cockpit for next year."
Sergio Perez: "I really wanted to finish the season in a different way. It was a great season with three podiums and I want to thank everyone at Sauber. I wish the team all the best and will now take on my new challenge. I didn't really understand what happened after the start today. I went to the inside to avoid contact with other cars and then people crashed into me."
Lotus F1:
Kimi Raikkonen: "It was a busy race and we didn't have the pace we wanted all the time. There was certainly a lot going on. I went off at the last corner on lap fifty-two as I couldn't see well with my visor being dirty and fogged up. Where I went off you can get back on the track by going through the support race pit lane, but you have to go through a gate. I know this as I did the same thing in 2001 and the gate was open that year. Somebody closed it this time. Next year I'll make sure it's open again."
Romain Grosjean: "I'm a little bit shaken but otherwise not too bad. Everything was nicely under control at the start of the race then it all ended very suddenly at turn eleven. It was a strange one; I could see it was raining a bit more so I was taking it even easier than on the lap before, then suddenly the car just went from underneath me and that was it. I've not had much luck this weekend and that's definitely not the way I wanted to end the season, but overall it's been a good year and hopefully there will be many better days to come."

text: So, my left side has been sore due to poor latching for the past few days. I tried only pumping on that side so that it will heal. Unfortunately, I developed clogged ducts which I had to let DS nurse on it so he can unclog the ducts. It didn't help the nipple to heal, needless to say and I developed raw/scabs. I went to pump this morning and got 4 oz of bloody milk Such a waste of precious milk! I was really trying to achieve my goal of nursing for a year. My son is 9 months old so I thought 3 more months wouldn't be so bad. I just feel like I don't want to try anymore. During these 9 months, I've had many issues with poor latch, sore nipples, clogged ducts, blisters, etc. Now, I am sore again and just so tired. I would still like to try to nurse while I am at home and use formula on the days he is at the babysitter's. I don't want to pump anymore. I feel a little bit sad, but I think I am ready. Just had to vent here.

The First Iowans to Use the Rivers
Indians Needed Rivers
The first Native Americans came
to Iowa by following the river valleys. Many of the things they needed to
survive could be found by the rivers and streams. A village located next to
a stream always had plenty of water for cooking and drinking. Natives used
the trees along the shores for building shelters and canoes. They used the
stone and clay found along some river banks to make ceremonial pipes and paint.
Indians traveled on the rivers to move between villages or to go on long hunting trips. The river valleys were full of the animals they needed for clothing and food. The beaver with its thick coat lived in the streams. Thousands of ducks and geese stopped at the marshes as they migrated. Fish grew to great size in the rivers, and freshwater clams lay on the muddy bottoms. Deer and buffalo came to the water's edge to drink.
Although the river valleys were good hunting places, the Indians took only what they needed to survive. Indians believed that all parts of nature had souls or spirits, and people had to cooperate with those spirits. Indians told myths and legends about the rivers and streams. Some tribes buried their dead near the rivers. On the bluffs along the Mississippi and Turkey rivers, the Indians made the mounds in the shapes (or effigies) of animals.
An End to a Way of Life
The Indian way of life depended
on the rivers. But in some ways the rivers ended the Indians' way of life.
Rivers made it easier for white explorers to travel to Indian lands. Some
explorers were friendly, like Julien Dubuque. He was searching along the Mississippi
for deposits of lead. The Mesquakies welcomed him and let him mine the lead.
Nearby on Catfish Creek Julien Dubuque began the first permanent white settlement
in Iowa.
Rivers brought European and American fur traders to the Indians. Trappers and voyageurs paddled canoes full of furs down river to the traders. Boats carried the iron tools, blankets and guns that the Indians accepted in trade. The fur trade brought the Indians things they needed and wanted. But it also changed their way of life.
A New Use for Rivers
Europeans and Americans used rivers
in their struggle to control the land. They built forts along the rivers.
They talked tribes into giving up sections of land, and rivers were often
the boundaries of the sections. The tribes were forced to move beyond the
river. They were told they could never cross the boundary again. Thousands
of settlers poured into the land that had been the Indians' homes. Some came
in covered wagons pulled by oxen. Some settlers came in steamboats or flatboats
on the rivers.
The rivers brought change to the Indians and the land now called Iowa. But many of the Indians' names for the rivers and streams in Iowa stayed the same. Explorers translated the words into English or spelled the Indian words in various ways. But the names of rivers still remind us of the Indians that lived here and the explorers who came by river to meet them.

Earth awareness
José is implementing two more programs for the school's second-grade classes, one focused on raised bed gardening and the other on woodland ecology. Last week, beds were built in preparation for planting lettuce mix at the end of April. The children will also fill compost bins on planting day for application later in the season.
Students will harvest baby lettuce at the beginning of June and consume it at school lunch the following day. All facets of the program, from planting to harvest, bed maintenance and consumption will be done by the students. No synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides or herbicides will be used.
The woodland ecology program will feature the sessions "Life Under a Log" and "Who's Been Here?" In the first, students will utilize a woodland study area adjacent to the school where they will locate inhabitants of the underside of rocks and logs. Ecological concepts such as food webs, energy flow, decomposition, habitat needs, predator/prey relationships and physiological and behavioral survival adaptations and the natural history of organisms will be examined and discussed.
In "Who's Been Here?" students become nature detectives, reading natural sign to sleuth out and solve the mysteries of animal evidence such as droppings, tracks, feathers and bones. The activity helps to sharpen skills of inquiry and observation while revealing the "hidden" presence of animals.
The programs complement the school's reading, writing, science and math programs. According to Brennan, the school recently adopted the America's Choice Writing Program, which teaches the craft of writing through various genre—narrative, informational, functional and response to literature.
"The students could take their outdoor classroom experience, and write about it as a narrative piece (what it meant to them personally), an informational piece (what did you learn from the experience), a functional piece (what steps did we follow) and as a response to literature piece (what did I like about the story from the pre-readings).
The reading and writing pieces will be incorporated in the second-grade projects in the spring, while math will be incorporated in the garden project as students learn to take measurements and calculate the perimeter of their garden areas.

Original owner to reopen South StationMarch 31,2014By Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer
Wally Sabotka thinks what Rutland needs is a good steakhouse.
So, the restaurateur who most recently owned Sam's Steakhouse in Ludlow plans to renovate the former South Station and reopen it in early summer as Southside Steakhouse.
"I think it needs to be moderately priced and try to appeal to everybody," he said. "That's what Rutland's all about."
Sabotka was the South Station's original owner, opening it in 1982 and selling it in 2006. It continued under new owner William Gillam until it closed in March of 2013.
"It was very good to me for 24 years," Sabotka said of the South Main Street location.
Thomas Donahue, executive vice president of the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce, said South Station left a hole in the Rutland dining scene when it closed.
"It's one of those places that was somewhat critical to the way things work in Rutland because it was a very busy meeting place," he said. "We haven't had that central small- to medium-size meeting spot for businesses since South Station went out of business."
Sabotka said he has long loved the steakhouse business and saw it as an unmet need in Rutland. He also said he plans to adopt a practice he used in Ludlow — in-house dry aging.
"We age steaks in a climate-controlled meat locker," he said. "It breaks down all the muscles and tenderizes all the steaks, giving it a slightly beefier flavor. Some of our steaks will be aged for a minimum of 21 days. I'm also going to have burgers and comfort foods on the menu and a very aggressive wine program."
Sabotka also said he plans a total renovation of the interior, which will leave the restaurant looking nothing like it did before.
"It's obviously in need of a serious face lift," he said. "I'm expanding the kitchen. ... We're kind of starting over."

World Gym in Bellaire celebrating 15 years
BELLAIRE – The staff at the World Gym in Bellaire is in the midst of its 15th anniversary celebration that is lasting some 60 days.
Opened on April 20, 1998, World Gym has provided local workout addicts, exercise enthusiasts and all manner of men and women with an eye toward personal wellness, from aspiring body builders to the fitness novices and everyone in between.
For the uninitiated, there is a misconception that a World Gym is only for the pros and fitness elite, with free weights dominated by aspiring body builders.
Stacey Baker from World Gym in Bellaire explained that couldn't be further from the truth.
"It's not just for body builders," Baker said. "This is a fitness center. There are all kinds of people here. People are taking kickboxing classes, spinning classes, strength training, yoga … there is a wide variety of classes for everyone that is interested in working out."
World Gym has been celebrating the last 30 days and will continue to do so for the next month by offering promotions and giveaways.
Baker noted the gym has already given away 24, one-month memberships and six one-year memberships. Next month will feature different promotions.
Currently, there is a $70 discount on a three-month membership for the summer.
Baker has been with World Gym in Bellaire for 10 of its 15 years. She's seen a lot of changes through the years, from new equipment and classes being added to an expansion of the facility itself.
One feature you won't find at other fitness centers is World Gym's juice and shake bar.
"We make shakes all day long and that sets us apart from other places," Baker said. "It's easy. You come in and can get a shake on your way in or out. It's a lot easier than making one yourself or navigating the health food or fitness store for the right recipe."
The gym is currently open Monday through Thursday from 5 a.m. until 10 p.m.; Fridays from 5 a.m. until 8 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. Baker noted, however, that beginning May 18, new summer hours will be in place for the weekend, 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., providing longer hours for patrons to get in their workouts.

Wisconsin set a voter turnout record in the Fall 2012 General Election, according to the Government Accountability Board.
Wisconsin's chief election official Kevin Kennedy says 3,071,434 votes were cast for president. That's the highest number of votes cast for a single office in a statewide election in Wisconsin history.
"Wisconsin's turnout rate of 70.14 percent of eligible voters casting ballots in the presidential race was the fourth-highest percentage since records have been kept going back to 1948," Kennedy said.
Voter turnout is calculated based on the highest number of votes cast for one office as a percentage of the estimated voting-age population, as determined by the state Department of Administration's Demographic Services Center.
The Government Accountability Board said other statistics, like the number of absentee ballots cast and the number of people who registered to vote on Election Day won't be available until later in December because municipal clerks are still giving this information to the state elections board.
Kennedy said overall, the general election went smooth at polling places across the state.
"Preparation was key to preventing problems at polling places," Kennedy said. "Our 'Back to Basics' initiative helped ensure election officials were ready for the large turnout and voters had ready access to information about their registration status and polling place location."


text: Hi everyone! My name is Sarah and I have a four week old little boy named Parker. I believe I am dealing with an overabundant milk supply. I will share with you all WHY i think so and maybe you girls can help me! Ok, first of all, when I have a let down the "pins and needles" sensation is really strong, it is almost painful, actually, it is painful. Also, when I let down, the baby gulps and gulps for 1 minute straight until the flow slows down. He doesn't choke or sputter, but you can tell he is working hard to catch up with the flow. Also, Parker is an extremely gassy baby. He spits up and is often fussy when he is gassy. Also, I pump once in the AM to store milk for my freezer stash and pump anywhere from 6 to 10 oz total a session, which I was told is quite a bit. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Also, does anyone know if an overabundant supply lasts the entire breastfeeding relationship? Or does it eventually regulate itself? Thanks everyone for your ideas!

Freaking out about the wrong thingJuly 05,2013I just finished a five-month leave from this column, writing a book with my wife, Sheryl WuDunn, and what struck me while away from the daily fray is a paradox that doesnt seem quite patriotic enough for July Fourth.
But Ill share it anyway: On security issues, we Americans need a rebalancing. We appear willing to bear any burden, pay any price, to confound the kind of terrorists who shout Allahu akbar (God is great) and plant bombs, while unwilling to take the slightest step to curb a different kind of terrorism mundane gun violence in classrooms, cinemas and inner cities that claims 1,200 times as many American lives.
When I began my book leave, it seemed likely that the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut would impel Congress to approve universal background checks for gun purchases. It looked as if we might follow Australia, which responded to a 1996 gun massacre by imposing restrictions that have resulted in not a single mass shooting there since.
Alas, I was naive. Despite 91 percent support from voters polled in late March and early April, Congress rejected background checks. Political momentum to reduce gun killings has now faded until the next such slaughter.
Meanwhile, our national leaders have been in a tizzy over Edward Snowden and his leaks about National Security Agency surveillance of well, just about everything. The public reaction has been a shrug: Most people dont like surveillance, but they seem willing to accept it and much more as the price of suppressing terrorism.
Our response to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and international terrorism has been remarkable, including an intelligence apparatus in which some 1.4 million people (including, until recently, Snowden) hold top secret clearances.
Thats more than twice the population of the District of Columbia. The Washington Post has reported that since 9/11, the United States has built new intelligence complexes equivalent in office space to 22 United States Capitol buildings.
All told, since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion on the military and homeland security, according to the National Priorities Project, a research group that works for budget transparency. Thats nearly $70,000 per American household.
Some of that money probably helped avert other terrorist attacks (although some of it spent in Iraq and Afghanistan may have increased risks). We need a robust military and intelligence network, for these threats are real. An al-Qaida attack is an assault on the political system in a way that an ordinary murder is not. And overseas terrorists do aspire to commit mass murder again, perhaps with chemical, nuclear or biological weapons, and our government is right to work hard to prevent such a cataclysm.
But there are trade-offs, including other ways to protect the public, and our entire focus seems to be on national security rather than on more practical ways of assuring our safety.
The imbalance in our priorities is particularly striking because since 2005, terrorism has taken an average of 23 American lives annually, mostly overseas and the number has been falling.
More Americans die of falling televisions and other appliances than from terrorism. Twice as many Americans die of bee or wasp stings annually. And 15 times as many die by falling off ladders.
Most striking, more than 30,000 people die annually from firearms injuries, including suicides, murders and accidents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. American children are 13 times as likely to be killed by guns as in other industrialized countries.
Doesnt it seem odd that were willing to spend trillions of dollars, and intercept metadata from just about every phone call in the country, to deal with a threat that, for now, kills but a few Americans annually while were too paralyzed to introduce a rudimentary step like universal background checks to reduce gun violence that kills tens of thousands?
Wasnt what happened at Sandy Hook a variant of terrorism? And isnt what happens in troubled gang-plagued neighborhoods of Chicago just as traumatic for schoolchildren, leaving them suffering a kind of post-traumatic stress disorder?
I dont see any glib solutions here, just a need for a careful balancing of risks and benefits. Id say that in auto safety, we get it about right. We give most adults access to cars, but we regulate them with licenses, insurance requirements and mandatory seat belts. In the case of national security and terrorism, I wonder if we havent overdeployed resources.
In the case of guns, we dont do enough. Baby steps, consistent with the Second Amendment, would include requiring universal background checks, boosting research to understand gun violence and investing in smarter guns. A debit card requires a code to work, a car requires a key and a gun, nothing at all.

- Residual stresses and deformations in electron beam melting process using finite element analysis
- Author(s)
- Mohammadhosseini, Afshin; Masood, S. H.; Fraser, Darren; Jahedi, Mahnaz
- Abstract
- The simulation of residual stress in Electron Beam Melting (EBM) process is critical for optimization of process conditions. However, there is no published literature on the simulation of residual stresses in this process. This paper considers finite element modeling of the temperature distribution through transient thermal analysis. The measured temperature and total heat flux from transient thermal analysis are then used as initial input parameters to the structural analysis. Consequently, deformations and residual stresses in structural analysis were measured. The titanium alloy, Ti6Al4V has been used, which is one of the most common materials for biomedical implants due to its high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and its biocompatibility features.

A pre-20th Century linear fish pond once owned by Victor Ward is the inspiration for an open-air plaza that's the centerpiece of redevelopment plans for 60 acres of Kakaako land owned by the Howard Hughes Corporation.
"We knew that in order to create something that's authentic, that feels like it belongs here in Kakaako, we needed to start from understanding what was here before us," said Nick Vanderboom, vice president of development for Howard Hughes.
The company presented its plans for the area during a Wednesday meeting of the Hawaii Community Development Authority. The proposal will transform the plot of land from Ward Centers to Ward Village over a 15-year period.
The Ward Village proposal mirrors a master plan approved by the HCDA before the land was transferred in Nov. 2010 from General Growth Properties to the Howard Hughes Corporation in a deal that brought GGP out of bankruptcy.
The ambitious project envisions 9.3 million square feet of mixed use development, including 1 million square feet of retail space, and two mixed-use residential towers on opposite corners of Auahi and Kamakee streets. There will also be one reserved housing tower at the corner of Ward Avenue and Halekauwila Street, and the IBM Building will be completely renovated. Twenty percent of the 4,000 residential units will be deemed affordable.
Instead of a 16,000 square foot floor plate, which is currently the standard for residential high-rises in Kakaako, new buildings will be about 25 percent narrower.
"Which allows us to pull the buildings back, and not feel like you're walking through a canyon of towers," said Vanderboom. "It creates more intimate buildings (with) fewer units per floor."
The entire build-out proposed by Howard Hughes is expected to create 9,000 jobs and add $1.25 billion of economic stimulus to the local economy. The project could also help keep taxes in check, as Oahu's tax base expands by an estimated $38 million every year.
"The project will no question create substantial, incremental property tax revenues (and) general excise tax revenues to the City and County of Honolulu and to the state of Hawaii," said Vanderboom.
However, some local residents worry about the potential impacts of high-density living, most notably traffic.
"I'm concerned about that with the density of your plan," said Ron Iwami, a member of the nonprofit group Friends of Kewalos.
Vanderboom assured Iwami the Howard Hughes Coporation would conduct a regional traffic study that would examine any and all alternatives to keep traffic flowing through the area, including turn pockets and the timing of traffic lights.
Howard Hughes expects to break ground on the first phase of the project in 2014, but must first receive HCDA approval. The company said it's also very close to gaining approval from the State Historic Preservation Division to begin archeological inventory surveys, which could identify any native Hawaiian burials.
Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu, the head of the Oahu Island Burial Council, testified in support of the Kakaako proposal, saying the company has made a tremendous effort to reach out to various stakeholders in the area.
"They've listened quite intently and kicked it up several more notches," said Wong-Kalu. "Their insight and vision rival some of the best (developers) that we have here in Hawaii, so I look forward to great things from this project and the Howard Hughes Corporation."

Whoa, baby!
A mother in New York City ended up giving birth in a busy Manhattan crosswalk after her little one apparently couldn't wait to make her debut.
The woman was already in labor when she stepped out of her apartment to catch a cab Monday.
But the baby couldn't wait.
"She was like, 'Oh my God, the baby's coming,'" one witness told New York TV station WNYW. "And then I could see the baby's head coming out."
A large crowd gathered around the woman, with several passersby stopping to help.
The baby's father made it to the scene too eventually.
The woman was smiling as she was loaded into an ambulance, and she and her baby girl were doing just fine.

The only thing simpler than fishing with a plain hook and bait is using a jig. There is really nothing more basic. You can find them in most tackle stores in bins where you can mix-and-match a few jigs by size, weight and color for a buck or so.
Of course, there are upgrades. Some jigs have premium hooks or are made of exotic metals like tungsten. Some jigs can be purchased dressed with feathers, plastics and tinsel. Noted Lake Geneva guide and tournament angler, Doug Becker, markets his "Defender" jig, a big football headed model, loaded with options. Lindy's Fuzz-E-Grub is probably the most famous of the many premium jigs.
The basic jig is a round lead ball with a hook on one end and an eye sticking out near the front. I have every color imaginable resting in my tackle box, but my best days of walleye fishing on the Fox Chain have come with the late Darrell Baker using an unpainted jig tipped with a piece of nightcrawler or a small minnow. It truly doesn't get any more basic than that.
I'm not saying that color in jig selection isn't important, just that there can be times when it doesn't matter. I always have to have a couple of chartreuse and orange jigs with me and, for some reason, blue works well for me on rivers. I'll rotate my colors until I find the one that the fish prefer at times when the color makes a difference.
More important than color is weight. You should always use the lightest weight jig that you can, as long as you can get it down to the bottom. If the jig is too light and you can't feel the bottom, then move to the next heavier one. If the jig is too heavy, you'll snag the bottom an awful lot and the fish will drop your bait as soon as they feel the weight of the jig. You want to be as stealthy as possible.
Another option that makes a difference is the shape of the jig. I like the football shape when using very heavy jigs. The omnipresent round jigs are good for most applications. I am using jigs that are made to stand straight up when dragged across the bottom more often than not lately. These jigs keep the live bait or plastic that I put on them to be the most visible to the fish for the longest amount of time. Jigs with pointy heads are perfect for swimming them back through weeds. These jigs cut through the weeds and snag up much less.
As artificial presentations keep getting more exotic and more expensive, nothing has been able to replace the simple jig. It works for most species of fish and is definitely cost effective, as well.
Notes: Dave Kranz from Dave's Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: "Fishing in ponds and lakes that are open has been good for bass and crappies. This week we have seen a good jump in water temp and this is getting the fish active. Waxworms, small minnows or Berkley Gulp plastics will work for crappies. The live bait of choice for bass would be golden roach minnows or a nightcrawler. Senkos, spinnerbaits or shallow running crank baits will work for artificial lure users. Catfish are hitting cut bait." Call 815-455-2040 for updated reports.

Minimum definition of identity
By saragates on May 26, 2006
I was at an event recently that Sun hosted with PWC and a number of top companies that we are working with in the Pacific Northwest. Several people were asking me about living in Austin, and one of the gentleman asked me for my opinion of Vince Young. I told him, "I don't know who that is." It was one of those moments (much like the old EF Hutton commercials -- however people were not hanging on my every word for insight but rather fell silent as they waited for me to either tell them I was joking or to let their horror unfold). Apparently this was especially surprising given that I live outside of Austin, Texas. Anyway, I did not know who Vince Young was.
This got me thinking about identity (well, just about everything gets me thinking about identity) and the set of attributes that make up an identity. We are having a lot of conversations with customers these days about "minimum authorized access" as a definition of identity as companies leverage identity management to help with security and compliance demands. Other days, when we are talking with companies who are using identity management for customer-facing application to drive service levels up and to establish trust, we talk about "maximum allowed access" as the definition of their identity. The interesting thing is, there is no difference between "minimum allowed" and "maximum allowed." It's all the same -- or it should be.
As you go through life, there are people you know, hobbies you enjoy, authors you read, things you care about that are part of your identity at that moment in time. These change. Things fall away, new things come online. The same is true of a network identity. Your role changes, responsibilities get added, projects end and our identity unfolds over time. There is no real need for maximum or minimum definitions, only the need for accuracy at the moment. As the edge becomes the new core, identity management and user-centric computing will increasingly offer this real-time definition of "who are you and what are you allowed to do" across buildings, network access, applications and data.
Now I sort-of know who Vince Young is, and while this story has become part of my identity, at least for a little while, knowledge of and an opinion on this gentleman has not.

Finding new species in remote locations. A team of Hawaii scientists spent a month exploring the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument.
Diving deep into the Northwestern Hawaiian Island waters, Hawaii divers encounter a serene, pristine underwater universe.
"these regions are completely unexplored," said Randy Kosaki, Papahanaumokuakea Deputy Superintendent. "We don't have good maps of these areas. We have better maps of the moon than the ocean floor even on Hawai'i."
With new closed circuit re-breather diving gear, a team of scientists were able to explore a new depth of sea-life and coral in the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument.
"Most of the research on coral reefs have been done at comfortable scuba depths like 20 - 80 feet," said Kosaki. "Yet coral reef habitats go down past 300 feet. All of the coral reef research that's been done today has been done in the shallower third of the habitat."
During their month long expedition, divers discovered giant moray peeking out of the rocks, a rare Rainbow Angelfish swimming in deep waters and large school of ulua dominating the ocean.
Scientists recorded 40 different types of fish never seen before in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and Johnston Atoll.
"it's biodiversity that we haven't documented. A lot of these coral reef systems, especially deeper ones, are under threat due to climate change and sea water saltification." Kosaki added. "So essentially we stand to lose some of this biodiversity before even knowing that it exists."
And researchers believe some of the fish and algae could be a completely new species all together. However researchers need six months to thoroughly verify any finds.
And the exciting part, they say this is just the beginning.
"There are many, many years of work ahead of us to fully characterize the deep reefs."

#1 Germany defies calls for stimulus03-13-2013, 11:43 PM
By Quentin Peel in Berlin, Hugh Carnegy in Paris and Peter Spiegel in Brussels
Germany has ignored calls from its eurozone partners for more economic stimulus by tabling plans to cut spending and balance its budget ahead of schedule on the eve of an EU summit dedicated to growth.
Wolfgang Schäuble, German finance minister, said on Wednesday that his budget for 2014, involving spending cuts of more than 5bn to trim the total below 300bn, was a strong signal for Europe.

If they could get rid of the Euro they would stand a chance of becoming a booming economy someday. It looks like we will become the Wiemar Republic.The difference between pigs and people is that when they tell you you're cured it isn't a good thing.

WEST POINT, NY — "United we stand; divided we fall," a phrase originally attributed to Aesop in his fable "The Oxen and the Lion," and later to Patrick Henry in 1799 as he denounced the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions, has resonance when it comes to team efforts in sports. While teams are comprised of individual players, their unified and unselfish dedication to the team effort is what produces success. In track and field, a sport that is often perceived as an aggregate of individual efforts, the most salient example of teamwork is manifested in relay races.
Traditionally, indoor track features 800, 1600 and 3200 meter relay races, each run with a team's four fastest runners at those distances. The 800, also known as the 4x200, features sprinters, as does the 1600 relay, while the 3200 relay summons the added stamina of middledistance runners. Any relay team is only as strong as its weakest leg. Teams that use their fastest runner for the opening leg may secure a lead but if the next three are not fast enough, that lead is likely to be lost. Similarly, to have the best runner as the anchor works when a team is ahead, even or only a bit behind. But even the strongest anchors usually cannot make up a huge deficit, particularly in the shorter races. That said, some ultrafast runners have closed the gap over 800 meters making for stunning relay race finishes. Relay races can be the difference between winning and losing track meets, as winning teams garner 10 points for a first-place finish in larger meets.
This past weekend featured the West Point Relays, a non-scoring developmental meet bolstered by the addition of shuttle hurdle relays, sprint medley and distance medley relays. In the shuttle hurdle relay, each team deploys a trio of 55 meter hurdlers who run in sequence. The sprint medley relay features two 800 meter, one 400 meter and one 200 meter leg. The distance medley relay featured 1200, 400, 800 and 1600 meter legs. These relays, along with the traditional 800, 1600 and 3200 relay, rendered this meet a highly collaborative effort. Some events were run as individual endeavors. Those included the high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault, shot put, weight throw and 1500 meter race walk. Sullivan West, Tri-Valley and Monticello participated in the January 26 edition of the relays. Other Section 9 teams went at it the night before. Eldred was at the New Balance Games at the New York Armory. Sullivan County medalists included the following. The number preceding the team or individual's name indicates the place of finish
Boys: 800 meter relay: 2. Monticello 1:41.2; 1600 relay: 3. Tri-Valley 3:52.2; Distance medley: 2. Tri-Valley 11:32.8; Shuttle hurdles: 3. Tri-Valley 27.8; Shot put: 1. Aric Boyes (TV) 46-4.5; 3. Trevon Rainey (Mont) 39-5.5; High jump: 1. Mitch Paciga (SW) 6-4 (a lifetime best). Girls 3200 relay: 3. Tri-Valley 11:25.8; Distance medley: 3. Tri-Valley 13:42.8; Shuttle hurdles: 1. Tri-Valley (Mareena DiMilia, Vicki Tingley and Alli Reynolds) 28.7; Sprint medley: 3. Tri-Valley 4:40.9; Shot put: 1. Mareena DiMilia (TV) 33-10.5; 2. Sarah Coney (TV) 27-11; 3. Claire Tierney (TV) 27-5; Long jump: 1. Mareena DiMilia (TV) 15-9.25; Triple jump: 2. Alex Brooks (TV) 29-0; High jump: 1. Laura Doherty (Mont) 4-10; 2. Katlynn Greffrath (TV) 4-8; 3. Rosa Martinez (SW) 4-6; Weight throw: 1. Shannon Smith (TV) 30-0; 2. Sarah Coney (TV) 28-4.5.
Since this past week was Regents week and all school activities were cancelled on one of the few days of competition due to snow, track was practically the only thing on the athletic docket. This coming week features a resurgence of basketball, wrestling and skiing. Track coverage will return following the Section 9 championships slated for February 8 and 9, and the Sullivan County Championships, which will be held on February 11 at Sullivan County Community College.

Our cemeteries are chosen as the final resting place by families seeking comfort in knowing their loved ones will rest in peace. Mount Hope Cemetery Mount Hope, dedicated in 1838, is America's first municipal Victorian cemetery. Set in a picturesque landscape shaped by retreating glaciers, the cemetery contains priceless pieces of art and rare horticultural specimens. It is the final resting place of many dignified and internationally known individuals, including Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, and is on the National Park Services National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. Mount Hope is listed in the New York State Register of Historic Places and National Register of Historic Places, featuring 83 mausoleums, soaring Egyptian obelisks, a Florentine cast-iron fountain, two stone chapels in Gothic Revival style, a Moorish gazebo, a Victorian Gothic gatehouse, and infinitely varied tombstones marking 350,000 graves across 196 acres. The cemetery is also a National Wildlife Federation Certified Habitat and a historic site on Rochester's portion of the Genesee Riverway Trail. Riverside Cemetery Riverside Cemetery was constructed in 1892 to be a natural arboretum. With its rolling hills and natural beauty, the cemetery was designed to provide a serene landscape that is not only pleasing to the eye, but also conveys an assurance of permanence. Unique local legends and heroes are laid to rest within a horticultural dream, resplendent with untold varieties of trees, plants and flowers. Riverside and Mount Hope Cemeteries are currently under the management of the City's Department of Environmental Services Bureau of Buildings and Parks.

What to do While You Wait for the Trip to End
Today is a sad day. Dock Ellis is dead. Now, to be completely honest, I had no idea who Dock Ellis even was but his greatest accomplishment makes him more than a Hall of Famer in my book. Not only did he throw a no-hitter, he did it while tripping the lights fantastic under the influence of LSD. That, my friends, is impressive. I think my favorite quote from his description of the game is, "They say I had about
three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a
ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit
hard and never reached me."
That's the beauty of drugs. Things are never quite what they seem. We expect a little bit more from our politicians, though. For instance, this whole Blago corruption case is slowly turning into a long and really bad trip. Is he a big d-bag? I think that one goes without saying. Is he guilty of corruption? Well, that's kind of open to debate. But will it be over anytime soon? Only if you consider Easter to be soon.
So what do we do in the meantime? If you live in the Midwest, there's a pretty simple answer. You get out your snow shovels and try to figure out where you parked your car. If you live in DC, you continue debating the relative merits of renting out your apartment for the inauguration or sticking around for one of the most historic events in our nation's history. And if you're a Steinbrenner, you keep trying to recession-proof MLB by throwing money around like it's going out of style.
However, you could also follow Dock's example and drop some acid while hoping you don't suddenly find out that you're involved in a major sporting event this evening. Your choice.

Hmmm – the choices, the choices! Well, we need our shovel in New England, we have a couple of State reps who were indicated recently and currently I'm only under the influence of red wine. Does all of that count?
Wow, a no-hitter under the influence of an illegal substance that isn't steroids.. pretty awesome achievement right there.
About that Steinbrenner bit.. I honestly can't believe how the heck spending $160 million on a guy [$9 million of which he gets for just his signature on the contract] while the country's economy is in the toilet and NYC is planning to put taxes on everything from the bridges to sugary soda to overcome their huge debt, isn't a crime.

Why I thought the posting from July 9th was new is beyond me. Maybe the smell of the bouquets presented to the spouses of C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett have started to kill my brain cells like in "I Am Legend". I'll be vampiring it up soon if I'm not careful.
It would be a mastercard moment indeed hearing all the booos at Manny's homecoming reception. Kinda like the ones Johnny Demon will always get.
Interesting about Ellis and throwing a no hitter while under the influence of LSD.
Down here in Florida, in the meantime, I can go to the beach, although I wish I was in the midwest shoveling snow because I absolutely love snow.
Julia, we'll count the red wine as being under the influence. And sorry for leaving out New England on my list of things to do. I'll add one now: Pahk ya cah in Hahvahd yahd. Better?🙂
V, I tend to think most of what the Steinbrenners' do is criminal, especially molesting squirrels. That's just sick.
P, no shame in commenting on old posts, especially if they're good ones. Which means you might want to be a little ashamed this time.
E, I'm with you on the snow. I head to Michigan tomorrow and I'm betting there's a ton. However, it's only nice when you have to deal with it for a short period. After a couple weeks, it's not so much fun anymore.
Who-hoo! I see box seats at Nationals Park in my future…
Al, I heard that.
Aaron, that's good news😉
Allen, there's an article in today's NY Times sports section that mentions your guy Trammell as deserving to be in the HOF. I don't have the link right this sec but I'll look for it. And since we're doing weather reports, it's cloudy here in California with temps WAY DOWN in the 60s. Brrr🙂
Jane, don't believe the hype. And oh, btw, I woke up to ANOTHER five inches of snow on top of the ten we got on Friday. Lovely.
Well I could very much picture someone throwing a NO NO after smoking marijuana as one of my teammates did in high school. But to do it after dropping acid or whatever is truly incredible.
I had the wrong link saved, haha. Although that link is very good too.
AWESOME, JOE! Apparently smoking and commenting on blogs has its benefits too! Great link!
Thanks for the link, Jane. I'd love to see him in the Hall but I don't think it's going to happen. You never know, though. Maybe that will be my Christmas miracle! Now, if you'll excuse me I need to go write a last minute letter to Santa Claus, care of Macy's 34th Street.
