The Philadelphia Athletics dominated the first fourteen years of the American League, winning six pennants through 1914 under the leadership of their founder and manager, Connie Mack. But beginning in 1915, where volume 2 in Norman L. Macht's biography picks up the story, Mack's teams fell from pennant winners to last place and, in an unprecedented reversal of fortunes, stayed there for seven years. World War I robbed baseball of young players, and Mack's rebuilding efforts using green youngsters of limited ability made his teams the objects of public ridicule.
At the age of fifty-nine and in the face of widespread skepticism and seemingly insurmountable odds, Connie Mack reasserted his genius, remade the A's, and rose again to the top, even surpassing his earlier success. Baseball biographer and historian Macht recreates what may be the most remarkable chapter in this larger-than-life story. He shows us the man and his time and the game of baseball in all its nitty-gritty glory of the 1920s, and how Connie Mack built the 1929–1931 champions of Foxx, Simmons, Cochrane, Grove, Earnshaw, Miller, Haas, Bishop, Dykes—a team many consider baseball's greatest ever.
"Like the man he continues to so capably chronicle, Norman Macht is astute, authoritative, and meticulous. If you want to learn about twentieth-century baseball, you'll have to read this book."—Bob Edmonds, McCormick Messenger
Bob Edmonds
"For any fan of baseball or history—or ideally both—it's worth devoting a few hours to Connie Mack, The Turbulent & Triumphant Years, 1915–1931."—Glenn Miller, Florida Weekly
Glenn Miller
"Between 1914 and 1931, Mack's teams went from the penthouse to the cellar of the American League, and back to the penthouse, as he sold off one group of accomplished players and brought together another, which included such greats as Lefty Grove, Jimmy Foxx, Mickey Cochrane, and Al Simmons. It is a fascinating story. . . . This book will please anyone who likes the hits, runs, and errors of baseball."—R. W. Roberts, Choice
R. W. Roberts
Norman L. Macht is the author of more than thirty books, including Connie Mack and the Early Years of Baseball (available in a Nebraska Paperback).

The company has grown quickly since its founding in 2012: It delivers around 8 million meals per month. A Photographer Gets Old — Over And Over — In 'The Many Sad Fates' By NPR Staff • Oct 1, 2016 A friend of photographer Phillip Toledano once said "He is the most self-absorbed person I've ever met — but he wears it well." The Many Sad Fates of Mr. Toledano is a new short film in which the photographer, with the assistance of makeup artists, fortune tellers, and psychics, disguises himself as the various fates life might one day hold for him: Ending up a homeless alcoholic, a white-collar criminal cuffed and taken away by police, or a lonely senior, feeding a small dog from his plate — and more. In Year Since Water Crisis Began, Flint Struggles In Pipe Replacement Efforts By NPR Staff • Sep 30, 2016 It's been one year since health officials in Michigan warned people in the city of Flint to stop drinking the tap water after a research team from Virginia Tech discovered elevated lead levels. To this day, Flint's water is still not safe to drink without a filter. While funding has been scarce to replace corroded pipes, Congress reached a deal this week that could send millions of dollars in aid to Flint. Decades-Old Housing Discrimination Case Plagues Donald Trump By NPR Staff • Sep 29, 2016 During the presidential debate on Monday night, Hillary Clinton raised a 1973 federal lawsuit brought against Donald Trump and his company for alleged racial discrimination at Trump housing developments in New York. Hear Something, Say Something: Navigating The World Of Racial Awkwardness By NPR Staff • Sep 28, 2016 We've all been there — having fun relaxing with friends and family, when someone says something a little racially off. Sometimes it's subtle, like the friend who calls Thai food "exotic." Other times it's more overt, like that in-law who's always going on about "the illegals." In any case, it can be hard to know how to respond. Even the most level-headed among us have faltered trying to navigate the fraught world of racial awkwardness. Fact Check: First Presidential Debate By NPR Staff • Sep 26, 2016 Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton went head-to-head Monday night in the first presidential debate. NPR's politics team, with help from reporters and editors who cover national security, immigration, business, foreign policy and more, live annotated the debate. Portions of the debate with added analysis are underlined in yellow, followed by context and fact check. Online Trackers Follow Our Digital Shadow By 'Fingerprinting' Browsers, Devices By NPR Staff • Sep 26, 2016 As we surf from website to website, we are being tracked — that's not news. What is news, revealed in a recent paper by researchers at Princeton University, is that the tracking is no longer just about the "cookies" that record our tastes. The researchers surveyed a million websites and found that state-of-the-art tracking is a lot more sophisticated, allowing websites to track the fingerprints left by our devices.

Good morning all…
I was hoping to get one more look at the hybrid locomotive!
Yes Mayor Armstrong, sometimes the most heinous and vicious killers can put on a friendly and kind facade.
Like one poster said, this confirms Sweaty didn't crawl out of his wrecked car just in time.
good morning all. mayor lost her friend but we're glad he's gone. At least I think so.
I wish I could go back to an earlier time in my life as easily as that!
I enjoyed the Sweatbox story and am excited that Moon Maid will be taking center stage very soon!
The mayor commands the time of Pat AND Tracy proving this was a biggie. Just wait until she sees what a boy scout her buddy Sweatbox really was.
….and some try to keep themselves above suspicion by being public figures, philanthropists and the like. No one would suspect them, would they?
To be fair, it usually works.
Mayor, you need a higher class of friends.
Big-city mayors and "personal friends" are a volatile combination. It's good that Tracy and Patton have each other—and a thick file—to help stand the heat!
I'm so glad we're going to get the info on what happened to all those people he or someone killed.
Hmm…. Didn't someone point out that the Mayor had some crime organization's logo on her computer awhile back? Around the time the Mushroom Lady was taken in and Panda got his?
Back buttons hadn't been invented 78 years ago so I don't have one. I have 'forward' and 'fast forward'.
Apparently Sweaty is dead… maybe…. I guess we will finally find out all the details
Sweaty had a lot of things going for him, but—- athletic prowess like Batman and invulnerability like Superman don't top the list. Even though we saw him exercising like crazy, he was way too out-of-shape to have gotten out of that car after it fell from a cliff and got battered by landing upside-down on the tracks. Getting hit by a train and bursting into flames—- nope, he's dead.

SHERIE CUTURILO, PLAINTIFF,v. JEFFERSON REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER, DEFENDANT.
Presently before the Court is the Parties' Amended Joint Motion to Seal the Case, or, alternatively, to either Seal Certain Documents or Redact Certain Documents (Doc. # 41). For the reasons that follow, the motion will be denied.
Plaintiff, Sherie Cuturilo ("Cuturilo") filed suit against Jefferson Regional Medical Center, ("defendant"), her former employer, on December 22, 2010 alleging violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. § 2601-54("FMLA") and a state law slander action. After being advised by the parties that a settlement had been reached in the matter, the Court administratively closed the case on December 7, 2011.
On January 10, 2012, the parties filed a joint motion to seal the case. The Court denied the motion, explaining that the parties had not identified sufficient cause to justify sealing the case, but afforded them the opportunity to file an amended motion (Doc. # 37). On February 7, 2012, the parties filed an amended joint motion to seal the case, or, in the first alternative, to seal certain case documents, or, in the second alternative, to redact specified case documents.
There is a presumption of access to judicial records. In re Cendant Corporation, 260 F.3d 183, 192 (3d Cir. 2001). A party seeking to override the right to public access: 'bears the burden of showing that the material is the kind of information that courts will protect' and that 'disclosure will work a clearly defined and serious injury to the party seeking closure.' Miller v. Indiana Hospital, 16 F.3d 549, 551 (3d Cir. 1994). In delineating the injury to be prevented, specificity is essential. Broad allegations of harm, bereft of specific examples or articulated reasoning, are insufficient. As is often the case when there are conflicting interests, a balancing process is contemplated. '[T]he strong common law presumption of access must be balanced against the factors militating against access. The burden is on the party who seeks to overcome the presumption of access to show that the interest in secrecy outweighs the presumption.'
In re Cendant, 260 F.3d at 194 (internal citations and quotations omitted).
Cuturilo contends that public disclosure of her medical information and the fact that she filed a medical health-related claim against her former employer will likely have a chilling effect on her ability to find new employment. She also claims that she will possibly suffer great embarrassment if the public can access her medical information.
Cuturilo has not established that her need for secrecy outweighs the presumption in favor of access. First, the cases she cites supporting sealing involved matters where the specified case documents included actual medical records, see Eugene S. v. Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, 663 F.3d 1124, 1136 (10th Cir. 2011), In re Zyprexa Injunction, 474 F. Supp. 2d 385, 394 (E.D.N.Y. 2007), and Abbey v. Hawaii Employers Mutual Insurance Company (HEMIC), 760 F.Supp. 2d 1005, 1013 (D. Haw. 2010), or, where the documents sealed were not described with particularity, see Lombardi v. TriWest Healthcare Alliance Corporation, NO. CV-08-02381-PHX-FJM, 2009 WL 1212170, at *1 (D. Ariz. May 4, 2009).
In contrast, here, the complained-of pleadings do not specifically reference plaintiff's medical condition and her medical records are not included in any of the filings. The documents, instead, resemble garden variety filings common to any FMLA lawsuit. As to Cuturilo's claim that certain documents impugn her personal reputation in the nursing field, her anxiety in this regard is no different from the concern any employee would have when they are terminated and then sues their employer. Additionally, Cuturilo does not present any specific evidence that she has experienced any problems seeking employment or that she has suffered any particularized embarrassment.
Cuturilo also requests that, in lieu of sealing, the statements she identifies as confidential and/or damaging be redacted. Plaintiff refers to Fed. R. Civ. P 5.2(e) which provides:
Rule 5.2. Privacy Protection For Filings Made with the Court (e) Protective Orders. For good cause, the court may by order in a case:
(1) require redaction of additional information; or
(2) limit or prohibit a nonparty's remote electronic access to a document filed with the court
The Court initially questions the applicability of this Rule, which pertains to protective orders, at this stage of the proceedings. In any event, the Comment to the Rule reads:
Subdivision (e) provides that the court can by order in a particular case for good cause require more extensive redaction than otherwise required by the Rule. Nothing in this subdivision is intended to affect the limitations on sealing that are otherwise applicable to the court.
Thus, the redaction rule does not trump the disfavoring of restricted access.
In sum, when weighed against the significant public interest in access to judicial records, Cuturilo has made an insignificant showing of potential harm to her privacy interests. She has thus failed to meet her burden of justifying the sealing of the judicial record, in whole or in part, or redaction of the case documents.
AND NOW, this 23rd day of February, 2012, for the reasons set forth above, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Joint Motion to Seal/Redact the Record (Doc. # 41) is DENIED.

Japanese unemployment rate hits all-time high
Japan's jobless rate hit an all-time high of 5.7% last month as deflation intensified and households slashed spending, the government said on Friday.
The previous record for the unemployment figure - which worsened from 5.4% in June - was 5.5%, last hit in April 2003. Japan's key consumer price index, which excludes volatile fresh food prices, plunged a record 2.2% last month from a year ago amid the labour market concerns, official figures showed.

Recent reviews
Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 166 reviews
Centuries old castle beautifully and tastefully renovated ten years ago. Its a very comfortable and pleasurable experience staying in this historical and modern hotel located right in the heart of the center in Kraków.
Very clean hotel. Good air conditioning. Excellent location to square. Will stay again.
I was so excited to stay at this hotel based on the reviews from hotels.com. Working long hours and getting up at 0500, I was looking forward to a relaxing time and sleeping-in before exploring the city of Krakow. I could do neither. Everything about the hotel room was exceptional EXCEPT there are NO curtains on the windows, only 'sheers' that did not block out the light or provide for privacy. They had a bright neon light on the outside that lit up the room at night but they did turn it off when asked. It was impossible to sleep late (even on a cloudy day) and I actually did not want to return to the room at night in fear the neon light would be back on. What made things worse, I glanced outside and right below on the opposite side was another room and I could see a man in bed without clothes....if I could see through his sheers, he could see through mine and that made me very, very uncomfortable. If I could have changed hotels, I would have because as a single and solo traveler, security and privacy are primary concerns. It has been a few weeks since my stay and when I think of the hotel, I think of it with disappointment. If there were curtains on the windows that allowed a good night sleep and privacy protection, it would have been exceptional and I would have endorsed this hotel enthusiastically. However, as a person who needs to feel secure in their environment and get a good night sleep, I can not recommend this hotel.
Fantastic hotel. Modern design in a classic building. Great design in all areas. Highly recommend.
The hotel was in a fabulous location just off the main market square. Staff was helpful and courteous. There is a lovely indoor pool with workout equipment. Our room was in the newer part of the hotel, and it was quiet and comfortable. No bathtub in our room so if that matters to you, you should ask.

Most Helpful
I liked this dish, but DS and DH did not. I used colby jack cheese as we are not velveeta fans. I also left out the mushrooms because my boys are so picky. It got 4 stars from me and 2 from them.
I can't imagine this recipe getting bad reviews. I guess some people know how to follow a recipe and some don't, because this recipe is extremely delicious as written! I made with Velveeta cheese, parmesan cheese, and left out the cayenne pepper (personal preference). I used 2 minced garlic cloves in mine too. I used 2 c. sliced mushrooms as we love them so much. I made buttered noodles to go with this and poured the gravy over my noodles. Perfection! Thanks Kitten! Becky
I thought this was okay, but probably won't be making again. I'm always looking for different ways to jazz up chicken which is difficult to do.

The once-thriving population of monarch butterflies that migrate from the northern U.S. and Canada to Mexico each winter is dwindling, researchers said this week. The orange-and-black butterflies would fill up to 45 acres of Mexican forest each year, according to records kept over the past 20 years. But as of December, they filled only 1.6 acres, the smallest area ever recorded. Environmentalists say the decline could be due to a number of factors, including illegal logging and the use of herbicides that have killed off milkweed plants where the butterflies lay their eggs.

Help Children's Home Nepal!
Less than a year before the earthquake we (Lisanne and Violeta) were in the beautiful country of Nepal; surrounded by ancient temples, the amazing Himalayan mountains but also a country with one of the poorest people in the world, who always have a smile on their face.
We volunteered at a children's home with about fifteen kids, South of Kathmandu. Each child had his/her own story. Some had lost one or both of their parents, others couldn't be taken care of anymore by their parents or were even abandoned at birth.
Each week was a struggle and it was often unsure if there would be enough money to buy food or drinking water. And if the school fees and rent could be paid on time. They completely relay upon donors because they don't receive any money from the government. The situation they lived in was not comparable with the life of a child in a Western country. You could have said they had barely anything, but that became so much worse on the 25th of May.
After the earthquake, that startled the whole world, we were able to come in contact with Maya Sen, the founder of the children's home. We were relieved to hear that she, as well as the children were unharmed, nevertheless, the situation they are in now, is immensely critical.
Nobody dares to enter their home again, because they fear for more aftershocks. These aftershocks can occur up to one year after the earthquake. They are sleeping outside on the field, between the ruins of the collapsed houses, because they do not trust the ground under their feet.
Please support the Children's Home (Bal Sewa Griha) so they can at least get a hold on their basic needs and make a start with rebuilding the orphanage. Because all what seems obvious for us, is uncertain for them every day now, and probably for a long time.
We will transfer the money to Maya, the founder of the children's home, so the funds will reach the children and those who take care of them directly!

1950's American Cars
Our index of 1950s American classics showed a 2% gain over 4 months, moving this market sector to a level it hasn't seen since May of 2010. We are still a ways off from the heady days of 2008, and the index is unchanged over three years, but growth is growth.
Only one component car fell (the 1954 Buick Skylark), and by only a point at that. Another eight were stable, with the remaining 10 improving. The star performer was the 1958 Studebaker Golden Hawk, which increased at 17% since January. The model has been climbing steadily, if unnoticed, and is now 44% better off than five years ago, and 25% ahead of 2009 prices.
Anecdotally, we have heard from a variety of industry insiders that this segment is heating up. We haven't seen the data bear out this new trend yet, but are expecting larger gains through the summer.

Saffron Bee is a character in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. She was the alternate version of Saffron Bee from Dark Mobius.
Saffron's early history was most likely largely the same as her Mobius Prime counterpart's. The point of divergence was when Knuckles became corrupted by his chaos powers and decided to conquer Mobius.[1] Eventually, Saffron joined the countless heroes and villains alike that fell to Knuckles, now having assumed the mantle of Enerjak, and had her Core removed.[2]
Over the years, Saffron's Prelate, Prelate-S, was summoned by Enerjak on a number of occasions for his campaigns, right up until Enerjak's defeat.[2][3][4][5]

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. No. 94 CR 760 Elaine E. Bucklo, Judge.
Before RIPPLE, KANNE and DIANE P. WOOD, Circuit Judges.
In this direct criminal appeal following a guilty plea, Tony Silva challenges the district court's decision to deny his motion to withdraw that plea. He also submits that the court made several errors in the sentencing process. For the reasons set forth in the following opinion, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
A. Facts
Defendant Tony Silva, an internationally recognized expert on rare birds, pleaded guilty to two counts of a multi-count indictment: (1) conspiracy to knowingly import, transport and sell wildlife; see 18 U.S.C. sec.sec. 2, 371, 545; 16 U.S.C. sec. 3372(a)(1),(4); 16 U.S.C. sec. 3373; and (2) knowingly filing a false income tax return for 1988, see 26 U.S.C. sec. 7206(1). Although Mr. Silva gave a radically different account in the affidavit that he filed in support of his motion to withdraw his plea, we set forth here, in abbreviated fashion, the facts that he admitted both in his plea agreement and in the Rule 11 colloquy conducted at the time that he entered his guilty plea. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 11.
Between 1986 and 1991, Mr. Silva conspired with Gila Daoud (his mother), Hector Ugalde, Gisela Caseres, and several unindicted co-conspirators (Horacio Cornejo, Larry Lafeber, Mario Trabaue and others) to smuggle protected parrots and macaws into the United States. Cornejo obtained many of these birds illegally in South American countries and sold them to Lafeber. Lafeber would then ship them to the United States. One of Cornejo's sources was Caseres, who smuggled the birds from Paraguay or Brazil to Argentina. The shipments of illegal birds were commingled with shipments of legal birds. Mr. Silva and Lafeber then separated the shipments at the quarantine station and removed the illegal birds while the United States Department of Agriculture employee was distracted. Mr. Silva then sold them to purchasers who were unaware that the birds had been imported illegally and had not been quarantined.
Between 1986 and late 1988, Mr. Silva and Lafeber sometimes used other South American exporters to smuggle in Hyacinth Macaws, Golden Conures, Redfronted Macaws, Vinaceous Amazons, Toco Toucans and other birds. In 1989, Mr. Silva purchased a number of Hyacinth Macaws that Caseres had captured in the wild and provided the funds for Caseres to keep them and then to bring them to Mexico. Mr. Silva recruited others, including Ugalde, to bring the macaws across the Mexican border without going through customs or quarantine. In April 1989, Mr. Silva moved to Tenerife to serve as Curator of Birds at Loro Parque. However, until at least 1991, he continued his efforts to import into the United States the macaws that Caseres was holding for him.
In his plea agreement, as well as at the Rule 11 inquiry, Mr. Silva admitted that he willfully filed a tax return for 1988 that understated his gross receipts from his business of selling birds. He also admitted to specific relevant conduct between 1989 and 1991: the illegal sale of two Queen of Bavaria Conures, seven Blue-throated Conures, three Crimson-bellied Conures, three Yellow-shouldered Amazons, and two Red-vented Cockatoos; and the underreporting of gross receipts for the years 1986-90.
B. Proceedings in the District Court
Trial of this case had been postponed in order to permit the parties to complete their negotiations on the guilty plea agreement. In December 1995, the parties had told the court they were close to agreement; therefore the court struck a January trial date. Nevertheless, when by mid-January the parties had not yet reached an agreement, the court set trial for February 20, 1996. The government proposed a final plea agreement offer to which Mr. Silva agreed on January 30. He pleaded guilty to one conspiracy count and one count of filing a false income tax return. The district court conducted an extensive Rule 11 colloquy and determined that Mr. Silva's plea was knowing, intelligent and voluntary. As we have noted already, in the course of that inquiry, Mr. Silva agreed with the court that the facts supporting the plea were correct. The only matters left unresolved related exclusively to the sentence.
A sentencing hearing was held in due course. After three days of testimony (from Mackman, Ugalde and Lafeber), Mr. Silva moved to withdraw the guilty plea. In his affidavit filed in support of the withdrawal, Mr. Silva asserted that, upon his move to the Canary Islands in 1989, his participation in efforts to bring the birds to the United States ceased. After that time, he claimed, he merely pretended to help smuggle birds for James Mackman, who was a government informant, so that Mackman would not abandon Mr. Silva's birds while he was in the Canary Islands.
After the parties had briefed the issue, the district court denied the motion. In its ruling, the court expressed its belief that the account given by Mr. Silva when he entered his plea was an accurate rendition of what had occurred. The court noted that Mr. Silva had given no reason for setting aside that version, which was corroborated by the testimony of the witnesses who had testified at the sentencing hearing. It found Mr. Silva's later affidavit account to be incredible. Specifically, the court concluded that there was one conspiracy between Mr. Silva and Daoud (the buyers) and Caseres (the supplier) to import birds for profit; "only the method of getting them into the country and the people used to help in the process and the ultimate end buyers differed." R.139 at 13-14. The district court also found no evidence to support Mr. Silva's entrapment claim that Mackman induced him to commit the crimes. With respect to the charge that he had filed a false tax statement, the court found incredible his explanation that the income attributed to him was in fact income received by Lafeber.
The sentencing hearing then continued five more days. On November 18, 1996, the court determined that the government had proved that wildlife of a value more than $1 million had been involved in Mr. Silva's schemes; that Mr. Silva's offense level should be increased by four levels as an organizer of criminal activity involving five or more persons; and that he was not entitled to a two-level decrease for acceptance of responsibility. Mr. Silva's resulting offense level was 27; the court imposed a sentence of 82 months' imprisonment.
A. The Motion to Withdraw Guilty Plea
We review the decision of a district court to deny a motion to withdraw a guilty plea for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Messino, 55 F.3d 1241, 1247 (7th Cir. 1995). The court's discretion is guided by Rule 32(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, which provides that "the court may permit the plea to be withdrawn if the defendant shows any fair and just reason." See United States v. Hyde, 117 S. Ct. 1630, 1635 (1997) (discussing "fair and just reason" standard). In applying this standard, the district court was on solid ground with respect to both its understanding of the governing legal principles and its assessment of the facts. With respect to the governing legal principles, the court realized that a guilty plea, validly entered in accordance with the strict requirements of Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, ought not be lightly discarded. As Justice Stewart put it in an analogous context, "[s]olemn declarations in open court carry a strong presumption of verity." Blackledge v. Allison, 431 U.S. 63, 74 (1977). In United States v. Groll, 992 F.2d 755 (7th Cir. 1993), Judge Cudahy, writing for the court, emphasized that, in evaluating a motion to withdraw a plea of guilty, a district court should evaluate the proffered reasons for the withdrawal against the testimony and other evidence introduced at the Rule 11 hearing, which have "a presumption of verity." Id. at 758; accord United States v. Trussel, 961 F.2d 685, 689 (7th Cir. 1992). Of course, we have never implied that a motion to withdraw a plea that is substantiated by evidence can be dismissed out of hand. In such a circumstance, the district court, depending upon the situation presented by the particular case, must permit the withdrawal of the guilty plea, conduct an evidentiary hearing, or deny the motion with an explanation as to why the evidence is insufficient or incredible. Groll, 992 F.2d at 758.
Here, the district court, presented with the motion to withdraw in the midst of the sentencing hearing, chose, prudently we believe, the latter course. First, the court found that Mr. Silva's statement that he pleaded guilty to the tax charge because he had been given false information was incredible. The court noted that the receipts in issue were his own and that Mr. Silva had given no credible reason as to why he could not have known at the time he entered his plea that the statements were false. Similarly, the district court found incredible Mr. Silva's assertion that there were actually two separate conspiracies, the earlier of which was now barred by the statute of limitations. He had admitted the contrary in entering his plea of guilty--a plea entered only after a long period of negotiation and consultation. For the same reason, held the district court, any defense of entrapment, in addition to being supported by only the assertions of Mr. Silva, was too late. See Trussel, 961 F.2d at 690. The facts were known to him at the time that he entered the guilty plea. There was no indication that the defendant's initial plea was the product of circumstances that would undermine confidence in the voluntariness or intelligence of that plea. See United States v. Coonce, 961 F.2d 1268, 1276 (7th Cir. 1992).
Notably, in evaluating Mr. Silva's motion, the court did not rely only upon the weakness of his assertions but also on the fact that his account was contrary to all the other testimony that the court had heard. We must, of course, defer to the district court's estimation of the weight to attach to the evidence. See id. at 1275.
The district court was not dealing here with a serious allegation of newly discovered evidence or of a previously unknown or unavailable defense. Serious allegations of that character often require a more plenary examination. See United States v. Morrison, 967 F.2d 264, 268 (8th Cir. 1992). Here, Mr. Silva's petition is more properly characterized, as the district court recognized, as a belated misgiving that he had overestimated the strength of the government's case. A defendant is not entitled to withdraw his plea merely because he has misapprehended the strength of the government's case or, upon reevaluation of the situation, can conceive of an arguable defense. See Brady v. United States, 397 U.S. 742, 757 (1970); United States v. Nichols, 986 F.2d 1199, 1203 (8th Cir. 1993). We will not "degrade the otherwise serious act of pleading guilty into something akin to a move in a game of chess." Hyde, 117 S. Ct. at 1634.
The decision of the district court to deny the motion to withdraw the guilty plea was hardly an abuse of discretion. It was grounded in a common-sense evaluation of the representations made in the motion in light of the unchallenged testimony presented at the Rule 11 hearing and of the witnesses heard by the court during the sentencing hearing.
B. Sentencing Matters
Mr. Silva submits that the district court erred in its determination that he was the leader or organizer of the conspiracy and that he ought not be given a reduction in sentence for acceptance of responsibility. Upon examination of the record and the arguments of counsel, we cannot accept these contentions.
At the outset, we note that Mr. Silva's concern that the district court improperly relied upon untrustworthy hearsay without sufficient corroboration is without merit. It is clear that the district court was well aware that, although hearsay is admissible in sentencing procedures, the court ought to scrutinize carefully hearsay that is particularly suspect and not corroborated.
According to Mr. Silva, the court erred in deciding that he was an organizer or leader of the operation. He characterizes his role as merely a seller of birds and a helper in Lafeber's quarantine station. He also notes that he was an interpreter-intermediary between the English-speaking Lafeber and the Spanish-speaking Cornejo. The district court's determination as to the role played by Mr. Silva was based on the testimony of eight days of witnesses at the sentencing hearing. It is for the district court, not this court, to make the appropriate credibility determinations.
Mr. Silva next claims he had accepted responsibility for his criminal activity and therefore deserved the decrease permitted by U.S.S.G. sec. 3E1.1. The district court, after hearing the argument of counsel, determined that the reduction was not warranted. The court concluded that, despite his plea of guilty, Mr. Silva denied his guilt in seeking to withdraw the plea *fn1 and to shift the blame to Mackman and the government for having entrapped him. *fn2 The court further found that he had not been truthful in his own testimony during sentencing and in his version of the offense submitted to the probation office. *fn3 The district court was entitled to make the credibility determinations that it made. They are supported by the record. The district court's decision not to award the reduction was well "within a zone of reasonable responses to the facts." United States v. Gomez, 24 F.3d 924, 926 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, 513 U.S. 909 (1994); see also Koon v. United States, 116 S. Ct. 2035, 2046 (1996).
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.

Federated Department Stores Inc. and the Dayton Hudson Corporation, two large retailers, reported quarterly earnings yesterday that were higher than expected, aided by the economy's strength, which spurred sales of home goods and clothing.
Federated, the department-store company whose chains include Macy's, Bloomingdale's and Burdines, said net income rose 7.7 percent in the fiscal fourth quarter, which ended Jan. 30. Dayton Hudson said operating earnings jumped 27 percent as sales rose at its Target discount chain and rebounded at its Mervyn's midprice department stores. Net income rose 19 percent.
Record employment and rising wages left consumers flush with cash to buy brand-name goods at bargain prices during the holiday season at Target and other discount chains. And a late burst of holiday shopping and demand for marked-down clothes in January increased sales at department stores.
''It's a good sales environment for both companies because the consumer is really driving this economy,'' said Timothy Ghriskey, senior portfolio manager at the Dreyfus Corporation, which owns shares in both retailers.
Profits received a further boost from the retailers' efforts to hold down inventory and operating costs, offsetting the price cuts that were needed to spur sales of coats, sweaters and other winter clothing during the holiday season.
At Federated, which is based in Cincinnati, net income in the quarter rose to $408 million, or $1.88 a share, from $379 million, or $1.66 a share, a year earlier. Analysts had expected a result of $1.82 a share, and Federated's shares gained $1.4375, to $40.0625, on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday.
Revenue grew 2.9 percent, to $5.21 billion from $5.06 billion, aided by a 4.1 percent increase in sales at stores open at least a year.
Dayton Hudson's profit from operations rose to $453 million, or 97 cents a share, from $356 million, or 76 cents a share. The results exceeded forecasts by 7 cents a share. The Minneapolis-based company's shares closed down $2.25, to $61.875 on the Big Board.
Gains and charges related to a change in the company's income tax rate, the hiring of an outside company to handle data center operations and the redemption of long-term debt resulted in net income of $423 million, or 90 cents a share. There were no gains or charges a year ago.
Revenue rose 13 percent, to $10.1 billion from $8.95 billion. Sales at stores open at least a year rose 6.1 percent.Continue reading the main story

Tonight is the final debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Video of the debate is 'live here, followed by post coverage.
Boy, that SNL train keeps right on chugging today. Following word that Lin-Manuel Miranda (and maybe Emily Blunt) would follow Margot Robbie as this weekend's Season 42 premiere host, there's even more breaking news. Jack Donaghy himself, Alec Baldwin will take over the role of Donald Trump, with the first debate promo already online.
One of the major headlines this weeks involves Donald Trump, which isn't exactly shocking. However, many people believe that his comments about 2nd Amendment folks stopping Hillary Clinton was a call for violence towards his opponent.
As the looming political race only darkens, it's nice to know Donald Trump doesn't leave everything he touches a pile of ash. So benefits Arnold Schwarzenegger in the first poster for the action hero's takeover of NBC's Celebrity Apprentice, looking as magnificent as ever.
Remember the little clubs we would have in grammer school? The one kid that was louder and didn't use a large vocabulary? Well, according to a recent poll bythe Boston Globe Donald Trumps speeches are at a low level of intelligence. Now before you get angry at me for saying that and send me email, we hear and understand him better because of that.
Donald Trump is making a big push to win the Wisconsin primary this Tuesday, and he's doing rallies all over the state, including one in Superior.
The Simpsons obliquely anticipating future events has become a common phenomenon, though never quite so regrettably as a 2000 episode that referenced "President Trump" in our future. Now, writer Dan Greaney looks back on the unfortunate premonition, noting the line was intended to envision an America that "went as bad as it possibly could."
The presidential campaign is only going to get more crazy and heated, so now is the perfect time for Donald Trump to unveil his first official campaign ad for TV.
Everyone else in the house was in bed on Friday night, when I caught the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Normally, I don't get to stay up this late, but I'm sure glad I did on Friday.
In a lot of ways, it's become a prerequisite to running for the highest office in our country: You're required to attend the Iowa State Fair and - more importantly - eat something on a stick. While it says nothing at all about the qualifications these candidates posses, it somehow makes them more like us.
