Mark Bowman of MLB.com reported Thursday that the Braves have told some teams they may be willing to trade right-hander Jair Jurrjens and left fielder Martin Prado.
This is no surprise at all, and from our sources, the Braves are committed to finding an offensive left fielder. The price may include Jurrjens and/or Prado to make a trade happen.
Prado played left field in 2011, and while he did a decent job in the field, his offense suffered. His numbers were not what the Braves needed from a left fielder. He can't go back to second base, with Dan Uggla now there. So then the Braves have to answer one more question.
Is Prado the replacement for Chipper Jones at third base? I say no. Prado proved last year that while he can play other positions, he is a second baseman. Prado can play third base, but he'll always be a second baseman playing elsewhere if he remains in Atlanta.
The Braves know they are limited in the positions they can fill. First base, second base, third base, catcher and center field are all pretty much set for 2012. So that leaves left field, right field, and shortstop.
Right field brings up the Jason Heyward dilemma. I do believe the Braves will listen if a team calls about Heyward. It doesn't mean they will pull the trigger, but they'll listen.
Shortstop is another issue. Sources say there is a split in the front office on whether or not Tyler Pastornicky is ready to be the everyday shortstop. There is a good debate going on about Pastornicky's ceiling, with some skeptical that he can be effective as an everyday player.
The Braves might bring in a veteran that could start if needed, but could also move over if Pastornicky proves he can handle the job. It's a similar situation to the 2000 season, when they believed Rafael Furcal was close, but they kept veteran Walt Weiss around just in case Furcal wasn't ready.
So that leaves left field, and the Braves believe they could get someone better than Prado to produce serious offensive production. And that's why Prado may be expendable.
He's two years away from free agency, and it's doubtful the Braves would offer a long-term contract. So this would be the perfect offseason to trade Prado to get something of value.
And Prado would still have value. It's not as great as it might have been last year, but teams that need a second baseman would be (STL, ARZ, LAD, COL, TOR, DET, MIN) idiotic to not look into Prado.
As for Jurrjens, we've jokingly called him "trade bait" for about two years. The main reason is we knew the Braves were assembling tremendous pitching depth, and that eventually if they needed a bat they would have to trade a starting pitcher.
Jurrjens is the perfect candidate. Like Prado, Jurrjens is two years away from free agency, so this is the best time to trade him. He's been hurt, so teams will want some assurances that he's healthy. But remember when GM Frank Wren made a point after the season to talk about how healthy Jurrjens looked in that Instructional League game he pitched the day after Atlanta's season ended?
Jurrjens would probably flourish in another atmosphere. He was terrific last year in the first half, but the injuries ruined his second half of the season. Some wonder if he is too injury prone, while others wonder if he would have some of the injuries in a less-pressured environment outside of Atlanta.
Atlanta's depth allows them to shop Jurrjens. They already have Tim Hudson, Tommy Hanson, Brandon Beachy, Mike Minor, Julio Teheran and Randall Delgado. That's six pitchers, and even if Hanson is slow to return due to shoulder issues, the Braves still have enough starters even if Jurrjens is dealt. And don't forget Kris Medlen, who could start if needed.
If there was a team that needed a veteran, but young starting pitcher Jurrjens would be an ideal candidate. That's why it was no surprise Kansas City was mentioned in Bowman's report.
The Royals need a veteran arm to compliment the young starting pitchers they have in the rotation. Jurrjens would be a solid addition to join Luke Hochevar, Danny Duffy and others (Mike Montgomery maybe) that could come up from the minor leagues.
Kansas City has a lot of great prospects, and they may be willing to part with a couple to get a pitcher like Jurrjens, who would really fit well there. Bowman mentioned that Atlanta has interest in Wil Myers and Lorenzo Cain, two right-handed hitting outfielders.
Bingo. That's exactly what the Braves need. They already have left-handed hitters at catcher, first base, center field and right field. Chipper Jones is a switch-hitter, while Dan Uggla is a right-handed hitter. So the Braves could use another right-handed power hitter.
Both Myers and Cain are southern boy, and you have to wonder if they grew up loving the Braves. Myers went to high school in High Point, North Carolina, while Cain is from Valdosta, Georgia near the Florida border.
Myers is considered a power-hitter in the same mold as Eric Hosmer, who had a great rookie season for the Royals. He came up as a catcher, but he's been moved to left field.
The Braves had interest in Cain last year, when he was still with the Brewers. There even was a Brandon Beachy-for-Cain rumor at the winter meetings in Orlando. The talk was that Braves' super scout Jim Fregosi loved Cain as a potential leadoff man.
Of course, in the meantime, Atlanta acquired Michael Bourn. But he's due to become a free agent at the end of 2012. If the Braves got Cain, he could be a potential replacement for Bourn if they decide to let him leave via free agency.
This was the first real rumor of the offseason. If the Braves are, in fact, putting Jurrjens name out there to see what he could fetch, they'll take their time in weeding through offers. Teams will try and get Jurrjens for $0.80 on the dollar, but if Jurrjens is checked out healthy they will probably be tempted to pull the trigger.
Atlanta should be able to see what kind of hitters they can get if they traded Jurrjens and/or Prado. But either way, they have a serious chance to improve the roster with a trade involving one or both of these two players.
One of the Atlanta columnists this week wondered if the Derek Lowe-to-Cleveland trade would be the only big move of the offseason. Well, that was just wrong. The Braves are being aggressive in finding another significant bat, and left field could be the prime position to find a new bat.
They may pursue a free agent. Michael Cuddyer would actually be a perfect fit. He's a right-handed hitter with power, and he could also play third base when Chipper needs a rest. There will be a competitive market for Cuddyer, and that might limit the Braves interest.
They could look into Grady Sizemore, and despite what another Atlanta writer suggested, Sizemore would be a very good candidate. He's had injury issues, and that might prove Sizemore needs to be in left field instead of center field. He would be worth a good gamble, but again like Cuddyer there will be a huge market for Sizemore's services.
Atlanta will look for a right-handed bat for the outfield, but it might be hard finding a veteran. They could have choices with lefty hitters, like an Andre Ethier possibly. And that's why they may have to find a young prospect like Myers that could develop into a top player and be cheap for a few years at the same time.
The Braves are going to be aggressive this offseason. Sure, they are limited financially where they can't get involved in the bigger free agents. But they have the trade chips to be significant on the trade front.
This Kansas City rumor is probably the first of many we'll hear in the next six weeks. And it also proves that we're in for an active winter, as Wren tries to get the Braves offense back on track.

In an interesting slam against the Left-Wing Blogosphere, one time Clinton man, now Time Magazine writer, Joe Klein, hits 'em hard. Left-Wing Bloggers are vile. Left-Wing Bloggers are mean. Left-Wing Bloggers are disloyal. Left-Wing Bloggers jump to wild, unsupported conclusions... So says Klein in a June 6th piece titled "Beware the Bloggers' Bile." But, don't get your hopes up because, while everything he says about the nut-roots is dead on, it all ends up being Bush's and Radio icon Rush Limbaugh's fault, instead of the left's fault -- it's not as if the left could ever imagine anything is ever their fault, I suppose.
Still, for most of the piece, Klein slams his nut-roots followers in just about every which way you can imagine but calling them ugly and having bad B.O. and it's fun to read.
At issue was Klein's blog report that Dem. Congresswoman Jane Harman of California had told him on the record that she couldn't vote against the last military budget because she couldn't vote to deprive the troops of the needed funds.
"Look, I would love to have cast a vote against Bush on this," she told me. "We need a new strategy, and I hope we can force one in September. But I flew into Baghdad [with 150 young soldiers recently]. To vote against this bill was to vote against giving them the equipment... they need. I couldn't do that." I posted what Harman said on Swampland, the political blog at Time.com, along with my opinion that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had changed their positions and voted against the funding for the worst possible reason: presidential politics.
No sooner had Klein posted this on his blog then Harman changed her mind and ended up voting against the bill anyway. As it turns out, Harman really did change her mind. Her original quote to Klein was fully admitted to and Harman apologized to Klein for the fact that she flipped on the issue, a flip-flop that perhaps made his quoting her look misinformed on his part.
But, as Klein reports, that didn't stop the nut-roots from turning on him as if he was part of the great Right-Wing conspiracy.
I was blasted by a number of left-wing bloggers: Klein screwed up! I had quoted Harman in the past tense--common usage for politicians who know their words will appear after a vote takes place. That was sloppy and... suspicious! Proof that you just can't trust the mainstream media. On Eschaton, a blog that specializes in media bashing, I was given the coveted "Wanker of the Day" award.
Even after Klein told the nut-roots that his quote was perfectly legitimate, they pummeled him.
Eventually, Harman got wind of this and called, unbidden, to apologize for misleading me, saying I had quoted her correctly but she had changed her mind to reflect the sentiments of her constituents. I published her statement and still got hammered by bloggers and Swampland commenters for "stalking" Harman into an apology, for not checking her vote in the Congressional Record, for being a "water boy for the right wing" and many other riffs unfit to print.
Ain't it horrible when the monster made turns around to maul its creator? And Klein admits it has happened before to himself as well as other lefty "news" commentators. "This is not the first time this kind of free-range lunacy has been visited upon me", he laments.
I'm SHOCKED that the nut-roots would so horribly attack their pal, Klein.
Well, OK... maybe I'm not so much.
Klein pleads with his readers to have pity on him because, after all, he really is tough on Bush and stuff. And, after all, isn't that the real goal, anyway? Klein seems to be asking the Left-Wing Bloggers why they can't all destroy Bush and the Republicans together without all that turning on each other business?
The last two paragraphs are pretty good in two ways. 1) in it's lament on how bad the Lefty Blogs can be and 2) in the typical inability of the left to take responsibility for their own actions.
But the smart stuff is being drowned out by a fierce, bullying, often witless tone of intolerance that has overtaken the left-wing sector of the blogosphere. Anyone who doesn't move in lockstep with the most extreme voices is savaged and ridiculed—especially people like me who often agree with the liberal position but sometimes disagree and are therefore considered traitorously unreliable. Some of this is understandable: the left-liberals in the blogosphere are merely aping the odious, disdainful—and politically successful—tone that right-wing radio talk-show hosts like Rush Limbaugh pioneered. They are also justifiably furious at a Bush White House that has specialized in big lies and smear tactics.
And that is precisely the danger here. Fury begets fury. Poison from the right-wing talk shows seeped into the Republican Party's bloodstream and sent that party off the deep end. Limbaugh's show—where Dick Cheney frequently expatiates—has become the voice of the Republican establishment. The same could happen to the Democrats. The spitballs aimed at me don't matter much. The spitballs aimed at Harman, Clinton and Obama are another story....
Yes, the Lefty Nut-roots are uncivil, cretins... but it's really Rush Limbaugh's and Bush's fault!
A typical conclusion unmoored from any morally compelling reasoning.
So, THEY are mean and wild-eyed because they perceive their enemies to be mean and wild-eyed. Remember what your parents used to say when you were caught among your schoolyard pals doing something wrong? You would say that little Johnny did it too and they used to reply, "If they all jumped off a bridge, would YOU do that too?"
(Moral of that quip for any morally confused lefties reading this: Just because others do it, does not mean it is right for YOU to do it too!)
Additionally, this is a perfect example of a complete lack of historical perspective on the part of another ill informed Media type. This new arena of the Blogoshpere as a place for vicious attack is only new in its location. In the past the Newspapers served this purpose. As did political tract printing and the plain old town Pub where people got together to yell, scream, carp and complain about government. The Blogosphere is NOT different than any other era in its intense partisanship. It's just a new place to do it in.
But, Klein ends his piece with some good points in the last half of the paragraph I excerpted above. Those points have to be disentangled from his raw, partisanship, of course, but they are points worthy of consideration.
...Despite their votes, each of those politicians believes the war must be funded. (Obama even said so in his statement explaining his vote.) ... But they allowed themselves to be bullied into a more simplistic, more extreme position. Why? Partly because they fear the power of the bloggers to set the debate and raise money against them. They may be right--in the short (primary election) term; Harman faced a challenge from the left in 2006. In the long term, however, kowtowing to extremists is exactly the opposite of what this country is looking for after the lethal radicalism of the Bush Administration.
Now, I won't speak to Klein's claim that the weak on defense Obama and Clinton really do want to fund the troops (as I seriously doubt he is right on his assumption), but the question of just how much weight our Congressmen should give the vocal Blogosphere remains a valid point to ponder. Not just for the Europeanesque type of far Left, anti-Constitution politicians Klein wants to sponsor, but for elected officials of all stripes.
We have yet to realize what final role the Blogosphere will play in our political process. So far, we have seen wild swings from both sides to mollify the Internet, but neither side of the aisle has been able to determine what real, solid meaning there is in the wrath of the Blogosphere. In that, we really are seeing something new.
In any case, it was quite hilarious to see Klein whining about his pals in the nutroots about how vicious they are -- as all the while he was viciously attacking Bush's "lethal radicalism" -- and so darn typical to see him blame it on everyone but his own side. Would it be too much to ask for just a tiny bit of introspection from our pal Joey?
Sadly, it seems to be too much to ask of him or his nut-roots compatriots.
(Hattip to Dervish)

The next-generation Jaguar XK is likely to be bigger after the F-type is presented. According to design director Ian Callum, Jaguar has been considering many ideas on how the XK should change. There's still no final decision. However, Callum thinks that there's a chance for the car to be "a bit more special than a GT" by growing in size and by entering the luxury market. Jaguar can't confirm yet if it will turn to a two-plus-more-than-two or if it will stay as a two-plus-two.
With the launch of the F-type, the XK no longer has to function as an absolute sports coupé and luxury GT. Since the F-type will be Jaguar's dedicated sports car, the XK can concentrate on its luxury GT credentials. It's not probable that there will be a change in strategy for the XK but the XJ is expected to stay as a conventional saloon in its next generation, even with the weakening market for luxury four-doors.
Large luxury SUVs are now selling much better than luxury saloons. However, Callum thinks that the low luxury saloon sales are the result of the weakening global economy instead of a shift in market trends.
But he thinks that the market will be making a return. He explained that the company is "strong" in China while big cars will always stay in-demand in the U.S. Callum has yet to confirm if there will be a large Jaguar crossover to be positioned beside the XJ in its lineup. But he said that Jaguar has noticed the increasing popularity of crossovers and SUVs.

17:32 14th September 2011
So on a chilly but thankfully unblowy night the points end up shared with neither side able to break the other down with both defences firmly on top in front of a lowly 3474 supporters. City lined up: Pidgeley; Jones, Coles, Archibald-Henville, Duffy, Tully; Shephard, Noble, Dunne; Logan, Nichols.
After a fairly frantic opening set of skirmishes, City opened the scoring as early as the 6th minute. A wicked Jones inswinging corner saw everyone it seems have a shot blocked before eventually the ball was played out to Jones who'd stayed wide. Once again he delivered a superb inswinger where Troy rose highest at the far post to butt firmly towards goal. Unfortunately Notts defender Alan Sheehan was unable to deflect the ball away, instead sending it straight past his keeper and into his own net from six yards out to join Troy, Nichols and Bauza at the top of City's league goalscoring charts.
Ten minutes later the scores were all square as Notts fashioned a somewhat fortuitous equaliser. Troy's attempted clearance from inside his six yard area spun off an attacker's shin as he looked to block the clearance and screwed right across the area to the unmarked Ben Burgess who had the easiest tap in from five yards at the far post. In the 25th minute a lightning quick break down the right saw Notts almost take the lead when the ball was whipped in from the right for Burgess to nod down at the far post where Jeff Hughes slammed the ball high over the bar from ten yards.
Noble's 30 yard inswinging free kick was only partially cleared to Jones on the half hour, but his piledriver from the same distance was always too high. As the half drew to a close Noble drew an excellent save from the Notts keeper sending a devilish free kick curling towards the near post from 25 yards forcing the keeper to dive full length to turn it round the post for a corner.
In the fifth minute of the second half Logan did well to shield the ball with his back to goal 20 yards out, however, Dunne rather hurried the lay-off blasting high over the angle of post and bar. Five minutes later Duffy charged down the right driving a low ball across the face of goal, but with a defender airshooting instead of clearing, Logan couldn't react quickly enough and the ball whizzed past him to safety. Notts came back strongly though, and Pidgeley had to be at his athletic best sprawling across goal to palm away a close range shot from Mike Edwards from a ball over from the left.
Again Notts went close to taking the lead midway through the half when a towering far post header from Neal Bishop looped back across goal and off the bar before Tisdale decided to change things around from a 5-3-2 formation to a 4-5-1 formation with Logan and Nichols being replaced by Keohane and Vine. The substitutions almost paid off immediately with Vine showing great strength and determination battling down the left four minutes later before drilling a low cross to the far cormer of the six yard box. Unfortunately Keohane was forced slightly wider than he'd have liked and scooped the ball harmlessly wide.
With two minutes to go City had the best chance of the game. Gavin Mahon got caught in possession deep in his own half and stumbled before being robbed by the busy Keohane. He played the ball forward to Vine who strode into the box looking to round the keeper. Unfortunately his touch was heavy and the keeper smothered the ball at his feet before he had chance to shoot. Then finally in stoppage time Shephard had two great chances but fluffed both - the first from Tully's cut back, although admittedly it was a tad behind him as he rushed in on goal, then the a second again from a Tully ball in from the right that got caught up in his legs.
But I guess a point each was fair enough. Neither side did enough to deserve the win with not enough from either front line troubling their opposing defences unduly. Coles especially had a fine game at the back, as did Dunne charging around in the middle, although a booking midway through the second half - presumably for a cumulation of lesser offences - somewhat subdued his performance. Notts however were always going to be difficult to break down. Big, strong, well disciplined and well drilled, they took full advantage of the relaxing of the rules regarding pushing and were able to shove City players off the ball at will and without censure, making City's task all the more difficult.
So onwards we go, with one more point to our name, as we welcome fellow strugglers Bournemouth to the Park at the weekend. Hopefully we'll fare that one step better than tonight, and hopefully we can be a little more controlled in front of goal. We seemed to create enough tonight without perhaps being clever enough to finish it off - let's see if we can change that this Saturday.

An unfortunate story thus far during training camp has been the injury-plagued start of rookie RB Chris Wells. The main concern regarding Wells coming out of the college ranks was his inability to stay on the field. Wells suffered an ankle injury during his first practice with the Cardinals and his status is now uncertain. Wells hasn't been ruled out for tonight's matchup against the Steelers but he's unlikely to receive expanded playing time due to the injury.
Jerheme Urban
(Stas Yamnitskiy)
As for the rest of the Cardinals' offense, it should be business as usual. The talents of wideouts Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Breaston are well-known and they'll likely see limited action. Second-year RB Tim Hightower should receive a handful of touches but expect to see plenty of backup running backs Jason Wright and LaRod Stephens-Howling out of the backfield.
On defense, several rookies and second-year players will be out to prove their worth. Arizona's starting lineup on the defensive side of the ball is fairly set but numerous backups will be vying for playing time in the rotation. Among those players are LB Cody Brown, S Rashad Johnson and CB Greg Toler. In addition, DE Calais Campbell will have first shot at replacing Antonio Smith and fellow DE Kenny Iwebema is also expected to play a prominent role in the trenches.

Lay the faux snow globe on top of the photo and trace around with a pencil and trim with scissors. 4. Glue the Sparkle with Love stamped label on the photo. 5. Sprinkle a tiny amount of glitter in the center of the photo. 6. Run a bead of white glue on the rim of the faux snow globe and place on top of the photo. 7. Glue the wings to the back of the heart.

UP Groups Join Non-Lead Ammo Movement
Two groups in Michigan have joined a national effort to ban lead from ammunition used to hunt waterfowl on federal lands.
The Upper Peninsula Environmental Coalition and Chocolay Raptor Center in Marquette County participated in a petition to the Department of Interior by the Humane Society of the United States asking for the use of non-lead ammunition.
Jerry Maynard with the Chocolay Raptor Center says there are cases of eagles in the state that suffer from lead poisoning.
He says lead has already been banned from such items as gasoline and paint because of its toxic nature.
Maynard says there was no reduction in hunting when lead was banned from ammunition used to hunt migratory birds in 1991.

The first of a three-phase reconstruction project in downtown Waukesha that will span more than four months began Monday.
During the project, Clinton Street from West Main Street to West Broadway will be closed to through traffic, said City of Waukesha Project Engineer Alex Damien.
But both intersections will not be closed at the same time.
The proposed major changes for the Clinton Street reconstruction project include widening the streetscape area by 3.5 feet, to 11.5 feet wide on both sides.
The streetscape area will be enhanced with decorative concrete pavers; the southbound direction on Clinton Street will be reduced from two lanes to one; new decorative LED streetlights will be installed ;and trees will be removed and new ones planted with the use of a paver grate system.
Phase 1 of the project goes to the end of April. The West Main Street and West Broadway intersections will be closed at times.
Phase 2 is scheduled from the end of April to May 16, which will close traffic from Wisconsin Avenue to West Broadway. The West Main Street intersection will have temporary short-term closures to complete the road reconstruction.
Phase 3 is tentatively scheduled from May 16 to the end of June. It will close Clinton Street from Wisconsin Avenue to West Main Street.
The intersections at West Broadway and West Main Street will be converted to stop control during construction. Pedestrian access to Clinton Street will be maintained throughout the project by phasing the construction of the sidewalks.
Damien said access to the parking lots and driveways on Clinton Street will be maintained as possible.
Important projected dates during the project (subject to change) include these dates for closure of the West Broadway intersection:
· March 6-12
· March 25-31
· Early May and end of June (temporary and short-term for paving)
The West Main Street intersection is expected to be closed on these dates:
· Feb. 24-March 6
· March 12-15
· March 31-April 4
· Early May and end of June (temporary and short term for paving)
Water service disconnection and reconnection (the exact timing will be coordinated) expected dates are:
· West Main Street to West Broad: week of March 24
· Wisconsin Avenue to West Main Street: week of May 19
Substantial completion of Clinton Street between West Broadway and West Main Street is expected:
· Mid to end of May
The estimated final completion of the project on Clinton Street between West Broadway and Wisconsin Avenue is planned for:
· June 27
Questions and comments on the project should be directed to Damien at (262) 524-3907 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

He is off to a slow start, like some of his teammates and other top liners (see NY Rangers, Flyers, etc.) but that will change.
I've seen every game he's played since his days in the AHL and he gave tje Kings exactly what his acccolades show, a Stanely cup. Something that the Flyers dont' and won't have for years, Ed Snider loves to butcher his teams each year sacrificing youth for a 'quick fix'. Bob McKenzie (June 2012 draft) when asked he'd have traded Richards. "For who? He's a proven winner and pure champion'
I know you're frustrated, and I understand that, I suffered thru that long winter last year too, but nobody can predict an injury. And this season will not be won or lost in the first week.
Winning seems to follow Richards around. There's no disputing that.
The problem is that his play has been declining for a few years now. I'm not really expecting much from him from here on out. I can't see him ever being the player he was in 07-09 again.

At February's Beppu-Oita Mainichi Marathon Olympian Shigeru Aburuya (Team Chugoku Denryoku) ran a disappointing 2:19, leading him to make the decision to hang up his shoes at the end of this season. In his 17th year as a professional runner, Aburuya has chosen Yamaguchi prefecture's Hofu Yomiuri Marathon as the site of his final pro race. "I'm from Yamaguchi, so I feel like it's on home ground," he said. "I want people to see that I haven't given up."
Aburuya was 5th in the 2004 Athens Olympics and 5th again in two World Championships marathons. Two years ago he shifted his emphasis to coaching at [Chugoku Denryoku]. With new responsibilities for athlete recruitment and other obligations of coaching, his own day-to-day training routine became difficult to sustain. "My position [as a runner] is just an ordinary one, so it got difficult to keep it," he said. Aburuya began his serious training for Hofu in early September. Fighting off a body that has become easily fatigued and a spirit that has grown afraid of injury, Aburuya has roused himself for one more challenge.
Along with 2005 World Championships marathon bronze medalist Tsuyoshi Ogata and half-marathon national record holder Atsushi Sato, Aburuya was one of the three pillars that supported the Chugoku Denryoku team through its heyday. Taking pride, motivation and confidence from his training, the quantity and intensity of his workouts increased over time. One of the products of this increased training was the 2003 World Championships. Aburuya, Ogata and Sato all made the five-man marathon team, but they each trained in different places in the lead-up to the championships. Their coach Yasushi Sakaguchi made the arrangement because he felt that if they were all training together it could too easily affect their psychological readiness by causing them to make subtle adjustments to each other during workouts.
In contrast to Sato, who was captain of the elite Waseda University ekiden team, Aburuya did not become a serious runner, "until it I had almost graduated from high school." He played youth baseball until junior high school. Running in an ekiden on the off-season mileage he was doing to stay fit for baseball, he excelled and showed results far out of the ordinary for someone in his situation. As a third-year he won his stage, helping his team take the overall win. Entering Mine Kogyo High School, he joined the track and field team and began to run seriously.
Facing his last run, Aburuya feels that he has one piece of unfinished business left. In thirteen tries so far he has never won a marathon. "I think it would be really cool to retire with a win," he smiles.
The 42nd Hofu Yomiuri Marathon takes place this Sunday, Dec. 18.

Larson earns Service to Mankind Award
Larson earns Service to Mankind award
The Sunrise Sertoma Club presented Jeanne Larson with the "Service to Mankind" award Thursday morning at their regularly scheduled meeting.
The award is presented annually to a non-Sertoman who epitomizes the "Service to Mankind" theme of the club. The award is based on volunteer service provided to the local community, state, or nation.
Larson was presented the award based on her leadership efforts associated with the Feet For Fools 5K walk/run, the Sour Grapes Half & Half Trail Run, and Mud Run Fun for Charity, a fundraiser for Lakes Area Disabilities Ministries.
She has volunteered countless hours with Kinship Partners and the Northland Arboretum where she served as a board member in addition to volunteering with the Weekly Weeders, the Haunted Trail, and organizing a weekly walking group. She has also offered her home and gardens to a wide variety of community groups for fundraising efforts.
Larson is a steadfast community leader who brings out the best in others in terms of effort and giving. Her many successes are due in large part to the friendships she has nurtured and her devotion and commitment to serving others, Sertoma reported. "Jeanne Larson truly embodies Service to Mankind," the club stated.

Re: Janus - Beginnings and Endings
Sufficient time for faith and miracles
We find we cannot fit into our days;
And nothing's left at all that joyous dwells
Inside the heart. The spark of spirit stays
Too small for dreamburst, and all earth may prove
Inadequate for art. No human is
This potent all alone, and fear kills love....
Love kills fear, and alone: all-potent, this.
No human is inadequate for art,
For dreamburst; and all earth may prove too small.
The spark of spirit stays inside the heart
That joyous dwells, and nothing's left at all
We cannot fit into our days. We find
For faith and miracles, sufficient time.

Niche Market | Welding Supplies
New York is a city of specialists from foodies to academics, laborers to shopkeepers. Every Wednesday, Niche Market takes a peek inside a different specialty store and showcases the city's purists who have made an art out of selling one commodity. Slideshow below.
McKinney Welding Supply
600 W. 52 St.
New York, NY 10019
Ever wonder where those huge nitrogen gas canisters on the sidewalk come from?
In most cases, they originate from McKinney Welding Supply, and the giant cans are purchased by Verizon. "We pump nitrogen underground at a very low pressure to keep the phone signals dry," said Al Dickon, 53, McKinney's store manager.
McKinney, the only welding supply shop left in Manhattan, is a hub for people who keep the city ticking — those who erect skyscrapers, those who maintain the infrastructure and those who roam the streets. The door, between 11th and 12 avenues in midtown, swings open constantly, and large men, with well worn boots, walk in and out.
A recent scene: a Con Edison worker searched for heavy cable. He was interrupted by loud-mouthed Marcel Bochi, a steam fitter supplier on his first visit of the day "for acetylene, nitrogen tanks, and to bust balls." A driver for an air conditioner company swapped an empty gas cylinder for a full one off the truck parked out front and paused for a few minutes to make jokes. Throughout it all, there's a steady stream of food cart vendors brandishing a wad of $13 in cash to purchase 20 lb propane gas tanks that will help cook everything from chicken gyros or donuts.
Handling the motley crew of customers, always with a smile, is 83-year-old Nick Mattiace, president of McKinney. The people, he said, are what keeps him young. The work is just too much fun to stop.
"They'll have to carry me out of here. At this stage in my life, I don't think about retiring, I'll just go on until I can't," he said. "I love it, I never get bored with it. Because people come in and out all the time and I've known some of these people for years."
Behind the counter, on Mattiace's left, sits Dickon, his nephew. Mattiace has owned the welding supply business for a staggering 49 years — and it's truly a family affair. He has a slew of offspring and relatives working at his three locations, in Manhattan, the Bronx and Westchester.
The patriarch grew up in Hells Kitchen and started working part-time at McKinney when he was only 16 years old. After a break for military service during World War II, he took a job as a driver at the company, then worked his way up to ultimately buy the business from the original Mr. McKinney in 1962.
McKinney's bread and butter has evolved over the years — as manufacturing decreased in the five boroughs and other industries grew. Gas has always been a component of welding, but Mattiace expanded that aspect of the business so he could sell to the medical industry (oxygen to hospitals, laughing gas to dentists), and the entertainment industry (he may be the one filling your helium balloon). Construction still makes up a big part of the pie, and Mattiace predicted the World Trade Center project, in particular, will keep them busy for a few years, since the buildings have steel frames. "Every building you see go up, somebody's welding in there. Whether they're plumbers, steam fitters, iron workers, you name it," Mattiace said.
Interview with Nick Mattiace, President of McKinney Welding Supplies:
How has the business changed over the years?
New York is a service industry now, more or less, and we do a lot with the service industry. The business has really changed. New York is an entertainment town. We sell a lot of helium to balloon people and party people. We do some hospital business. It used to be strictly welding supplies at one time, but it has evolved into more than welding supplies. But a big part of our business is construction and when construction is busy, we're real busy. Right now, with the economy being what it is, construction is down a little bit, but there are a couple of big jobs going on — the trade center being the biggest — things seem to be picking up a bit. Can't complain at all.
Besides construction, is there a lot of welding that happens in the city?
Oh yes. Every building you see go up, somebody's welding in there. Whether they're plumbers, steam fitters, iron workers, you name it. Welding is a big part. We have a lot of people as hobbyists too. We have sculptors who come in and buy their equipment, we have schools, welding schools.
What's some of the specialized equipment that you sell?
We sell welding machines, we sell cables that go with the welding machines, we sell welding rods to weld with, we sell torches and regulators for the gas tanks — you can't just take gas out of a tank and use it — you have to have a regulator, you have to have a hose, you have to have a torch, all those things we sell. And we sell goggles and glasses, helmets, jackets and all the clothing that go with it, we sell an awful lot of gloves — welding gloves, work gloves.
Why did you have to move from your original location five months ago?
In 1970, eminent domain, the city took over our property, paid us $100,000 for it, and we were paying rent to the city from 1970 up until this year. Supposedly for subsidized housing. Somewhere along the line they gave it to a private builder. What they're doing with it now, I really can't say for certain. But they took the property and more or less told us it was time to get out, which we did. We knew someday it was going to happen. In fact, I never thought we'd be there for 40 years and we were. So it's nice that we have this store here so people can still come and pick up. Otherwise, they'd have to go to another vendor in Brooklyn, in the Bronx — where we are now — or in Long Island. So this is very convenient. We have a lot of contractors who come from out of the city — from Jersey, from way out in Long Island, from Westchester, and they come here because we're so centrally located, because most of the work is in Manhattan. The rest of the boroughs are not doing so well as Manhattan in construction.
What's the best part of the job?
Meeting people, talking to people and seeing how the business has grown over the years. We do as much now in two weeks as we used to do in a month. It's done quite well. It's been good to our family. I have also two daughters who work part-time in the business. Two sons, two daughters, a nephew, and a son-in-law in the business — it's really a family affair.

Lerato Mbeki; Africa
'I'm very sorry Ma'am but Miss Luna cannot take your call right now.' The man on the other end of the video link looked slightly nervous. My reputation for determination and always getting what I wanted had obviously spread beyond my own country.
'And what is so important that she cannot make some time to speak to me?'
'I'm afraid I cannot give you that information.' I began running my hands through my hair, thinking.
'Well, when Galaxa isn't so busy tell her this. The Earth is falling in chaos and war is imenent. Galaxa might think she is untouchable up in her spacestation but believe me when I say that no-one is safe. If she wants to survive then she cannot afford to make enemies on land. I can help her with that. Do you understand?'
'Yes Miss Mbeki.'
'Good, then let her know that.' I cut off the connection and the screen went black. I collapsed back in my chair, letting out a massive sigh.'
'What is it?' Tefari took the chair next to me, a look of concern on his face.
'I think we're too late.'
'What do you mean 'too late'?'
'The big countries are destroying each other and we have on-one who will ally with us. Asia is moving in on Europe and launching rockets into space to take the moon. Africa will be crushed if we can't find another country to support us.'
'Who says you need another country to support you? Lerato you have pulled this country out of it's worst period in history. You have made sure every child gets an education where before only the rich could afford to. You have made a health service where everyone can get treatment, no matter what their background. You've done all that without any help, surely taking your place on the global stage isn't going to be too hard.' I thought about it and a smile spread across my face.
'Get me the minister for war, we need to start planning our first move.'

How to guides
How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.
Buying guides
Buyer's guide to wallpapering tools
Wallpapering can sometimes be a more complex task than you might imagine, but having all the right tools will make it far simpler and the result much neater.
Types of tools
Paste brush
You can use any 100mm or 125mm paintbrush to apply paste, but a paste brush has a thicker wedge of soft bristles, which makes it easier to use.
Paper-hanging scissors
These scissors have extra-long blades that make it easier to cut your wallpaper in straight lines.
Wallpaper table (pasting table)
Higher than a kitchen table and just wider than a roll of wallpaper, this lightweight folding platform is perfect for measuring, cutting and pasting paper. W-leg tables are more stable than cheaper versions, but plastic ones are the sturdiest of all - as well as being the simplest to clean and store.
Plumb line/chalk line
Want to make sure you hang your wallpaper straight? Use a plumb line (a weight on the end of a string) to get a perfectly straight vertical line. And if you need to draw a straight edge on most surfaces, snap a chalk line.
Wallpaper scorer
When you soak wallpaper to prepare it for stripping, score the surface first with a rotary scorer as it helps the water to penetrate. Then just use a scraper to lift the paper off the wall.
Paper-hanging brush
The soft bristles on this brush are designed to smooth wallpaper by squeezing out any air bubbles and excess paste. Wash the bristles in warm water when you've finished to keep it fresh and usable.
Wallpaper steamer
Steaming is the fastest way to strip wallpaper. It makes good sense to buy a steamer when you have a lot of paper to strip, or need to do the job quickly.
Seam roller
Smooth the seams between lengths of wallpaper with this tiny roller - but make sure not to use it on embossed or fragile papers.
Combination smoother/cutter
After you've smoothed your wallpaper in place, simply cut around any obstructions with the retractable snap-off blade. But don't press too hard on fragile papers, or they might tear.

SHANGHAI: The yuan closed slightly weaker on Friday, with traders citing a re-emergence of Chinese corporate demand for dollars, as the central bank set a weaker official trading range for a second day running after the yuan's record high earlier in the week.
The yuan closed at 6.2356 to the dollar, weaker than Thursday's close of 6.2334, 0.17 percent off the record high of 6.2252 struck on Wednesday.
The central bank set its midpoint at 6.2945 per dollar versus Thursday's 6.2905. Under China's managed float regime, the exchange rate can diverge 1 percent either side of the midpoint fix, set by the central bank each day.
The yuan never hit its strong-side limit on Friday, the first time it has failed to do so in the last 14 trading days.
"The central bank's consecutive stronger fixes have buoyed demand for dollars, and even clients who before were steering well clear have warmed back up to buying the currency," said a trader at a large state-owned bank in Shanghai.
"Given (the weaker midpoints) in the last two days, I can't see the recent steep appreciation of the yuan continuing."
Earlier in the week, trading had begun to dry up, as quotes concentrated on the strong side of the yuan's daily trading band, without finding dollar buyers.
Traders were unsure what lay behind the revival in corporate dollar buying on Friday. Some said their re-emergence may be a sign that the yuan's rally since late July may finally be waning. At its peak on Wednesday, the yuan had gained 2.7 percent from late July.
Others noted the central bank was capable of quietly moving behind the scenes to encourage state-owned players, who dominate trade, to buy dollars, but the most overt signal to the market comes from the daily midpoint fixes.
"We're looking to the central bank for where the rate will go next but in the short term things aren't very clear," said a trader at a joint-stock bank in Shanghai. "People trading on their own account don't really want to get involved, we're just waiting to see what happens next."
Better-than-expected trade data in October suggested exporters would have dollars to sell, giving the yuan more fuel to firm, but while some traders see pressure on the yuan to appreciate remaining through December, almost all were agreed that the rally is likely to end by early 2013 as the market gradually absorbs excess dollars.
The Chinese currency is currently 0.9 percent stronger than where it started the year against the dollar.
Data from the Bank for International Settlements show the yuan also strengthened in nominal trade-weighted terms in October, the first time it has done so since July.

Students Review
Arthritis is a condition that affects many clients in the UK and as a fitness professional there is a strong chance that at some point in your career you will work with a client who suffers with it. There are two types of arthritis that people can suffer with:
Osteoarthritis - this is where there is damage to the cartilage of a joint most commonly due to wear and tear. This is normally localised and common in hips and knees, or any joints that have seen excessive use. The condition will greatly affect movement and results in pain, leading in many cases to a loss in the level of functional ability. It is generally localised to the joints affected and does not spread. This condition is brought on by obesity, repetitive movement patterns, impact through the joint, or trauma.
Rheumatoid arthritis - this is a progressive degenerative autoimmune disorder where the body attacks the cartilage in a joint because it sees it as an invader and something that needs to be destroyed. This then progresses through an ever-increasing number of joints in the body, with the ultimate result being a loss in function. This condition can eventually start to affect the wider systems of the body and result in the failure of organs. Currently there is little known about the true causes of this condition.
In both cases there will be a loss of function around the affected joints, with swelling, pain and muscular weakness occurring. This, in turn, can lead to the individual feeling less mobile which may have a large effect on their lives. A fitness professional can help to reduce the overall effect of this condition and help the individual maintain mobility and function. There are some guiding principles when it comes to the prescription of exercise for arthritic clients.
Aerobic Fitness – it is recommended that clients take part in aerobic activity three to five days per week, working at around 60-80% of maximum heart rate. It is recommended that this should done for 5-30 minutes per session, progressing slowly from a short session in the early stages of training. Non-weight bearing exercise would be preferable in most cases as this will reduce pressure on the affected joints.
Resistance Exercise – it is recommended that clients engage in some form of resistance training on two to three days per week. This should be done using a 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps. Resistance machines and an emphasis on circuit-style training works well with these populations. Machines can be a safer alternative to free weights in the early stages of training. The use of exercises that might help with functional ability should be considered.
Flexibility – a regular stretching routine should be implemented to help maintain and improve range of motion. A full stretching programme should be carried out 2 to 3 days per week aiming to improve usable ranges of motion, with daily routines to maintain the developments gained.
Functionality – functional training should be carried out on a daily basis. This should be aimed at maintaining independence for as long as possible. Key areas to be considered are the prevention of falls and the maintenance of gait. Again, the ability to maintain a good walking pattern will help to keep the individual moving and functional.
The key precautions are as follows:
Working with arthritic clients can help to improve movement patterns, but most importantly can improve functionality and outlook. This can really improve the quality of life that the client experiences. As a fitness professional it is well within your power to change some people's lives. When people have higher levels of functional ability, they are much more likely to keep moving and this in itself can be an important part of the treatment pathway for arthritis.
If you would like to know more about working with people with a range of conditions, have a look at the TRAINFITNESS Exercise Referral course.
The Inclusive Fitness Initiative (IFI) was set up in the early 2000's by the English Federation of Disability Sports (EFDS) in response to some research which identified that disabled people were being excluded from the opportunities of regular participation in facility-based fitness and sports activities.
Therefore since 2001 the IFI has worked towards an ambition of providing every disabled person in England with access to an inclusive fitness facility (a suitable distance from home). This was helped between 2001 and 2006 when the IFI received £6 million from the Sport England Lottery Fund. In 2007, IFI launched a new programme which was given funding of £1.95 million by the National Sports Foundation to encourage more grassroots sports access for disabled people.
Therefore since the late 1990's-early 2000's, there has been a steady growth in the diversity of populations frequenting our fitness facilities. This has led to a significant shift in the type of participant and overall perception of those who use our fitness facilities across England – possibly peaking after the 2012 Paralympic Games. There is now a wide spectrum of gym users ranging from healthy adolescent and adults, looking for health and fitness gains to those with conditions referred by their healthcare professional as well as those with varying disabilities.
Osteoporosis is an increasingly common condition, exercise and lifestyle interventions can greatly help to improve the functionality and therefor the lives of sufferers. This short article outlines the basics that a personal trainer should be aware of in order to help an osteoporotic get the very most from their exercise regime in a safe and productive environment.
Asthma is a common condition that personal trainers come across in the fitness environment. In many cases asthma is viewed as a non-condition and ignored, this should not be the case. Personal trainers should be aware of the implications of asthma and how to make sure that their clients are screened effectively prior to the start of an exercise routine. This screening should then form the basis of any exercise programmes generated to make sure the programme is not just effective but safe.
So what exactly is asthma, well it is a condition where there is a temporary and reversible narrowing of the airways. This is signalled by shortness of breath, wheezing a tightening in the chest and on some occasions a cough. Asthma attacks can vary massively in terms of severity, with extreme cases requiring an ambulance. Eventually the condition can lead to the onset of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder) or become classed as chronic asthma.
With the growth of the Internet and the ever increasingly diverse amount of information, understanding how to program effectively for clients seems to be becoming more confusing rather than less. In fact, visit most commercial sites and you'll find articles talking about the conjugate method and it's value in strength training, post activation potentiation (PAP) and it's importance for power development and the importance of rest periods specified to the nearest second to maintain metabolic stimulus.
One of the unique features of all the
TRAINFITNESS programmes is the ability
of the instructor and/or personal trainer to modify the workouts to suit their clients.
When the programme developers put the programmes together, they don't know who you
will have in your classes and workout sessions. The intensity level of the workouts is
therefore set at an intermediate to advanced level.
Wellbeing initiatives are fast becoming a major part of employee benefit packages in companies across the UK. This scene has become a area where personal trainers and fitness professionals can look to use their skill and knowledge to improve health, fitness and wellbeing. In this article I will explore some of the benefits of corporate wellbeing and types of initiatives that can be put in place. I hope that this article gives the fitness professionals....
