How much HP is gained for each increased point of compression?
If I'm going from 9.8:1 to 11.1 how much HP gains am I looking at?
Also is there a special cam needed for higher compression? Would I be able to run my current cam and set-up on 93 octane?
Pontiac 455 bored .040 over
Edelbrock Performer intake
Comp XE Cam 240/256 507/510 LSA10
2600 stall,
750 holley, vac snd
stock 6x-8 heads, 3 angle valve job (going to 6x-4 which is going to increase the compression)
stock bottom end
373 gears.
From what I have heard, you can assume around 20 hp per point of compression. This is just an estimate, and will vary. As far as you combonation running on pump gas, the only way that you will have any chance is if you are going to be running aluminum heads, and your quench is right (distace from top of piston to deck of head, should be around .045).
it depends on the rest of the combination....lower RPM engines will have less impact than higher RPM engines as far as total increase in power.
how much hp?
How much gain for each increase in ratio depends on the engine, how its built, head design, etc. There is not hard fast rule on it.
Higher compression shows its greatest effects at higher rpm, where the breathing time is much shorter, and cylinder filling isnt quite so good.
With your engine setup, cam wise, you will probably see some good gains from going to the higher compression. The biggest concern is whether you can run that high on 93 octane, due to other factors like combustion chamber size, etc.
Around these parts, with a steel head engine, about the maximum anyone is running with any big blocks (427 and up) is about 10-10.5:1. Thats with a heavy cam and steel heads.
compression increases also help with large cams in the lower RPM ranges. It helps when the overlap is hurting performance... More compression from a diminished charge will feel like the cylinder is filled more completely than at a lower compression level. It will make large cams seem less radical or enable engines to operate more smoothly at lower RPM. It will also help torque and vacuum slightly as well.
I can't remember the exact specs. I have it written down somewhere. The way it works is you get 4% more power each point from 7:1 to 10:1. From there each additional point nets around 2%. I know that is close enough for what you are asking. If you want I can go digging through the archives and get the article, but I am in the ballpark.
You can't say how much hp. Every engine will gain more or less. That is why it is more accurate with a % of hp.
Thanks for all the replies thanks to everybody for the great help...
Just wanted to know if it is possible to run this set-up on pump gas 93 octane?
Thats gonna be very border line for sure you may have to knock back the timing a bit on pump gas which will take away any gains you made from the increased compression.
Robinson Robin, I think you hit the nail on the head. With iron heads and 11:1 it is not going to run on pump gas (and if it does it won't for long). You honestly need to be in the area of 9.5-10:1 to run iron heads on pump gas (I think that's about the practical max). The slight gain you "might" get from 10:1 to 11:1 will be negated with reduced timing and broken parts.
Bah humbug!!! lol. ANyway I run about 10.5 or 11:1 on the street. I admit I have had someproblems with spark knock, but I think I've got them taken care of, and we noticed the plugs to look a bit lean, so it needs a bit more fuel anyway. That coupled with a new set of 3.73 gears in leu of the 2.73, and I think I'll be fine. It depends a lot on the car and the conditions. I wouldn't want an 11:1 truck motor that will be towing a boat, but in a car, you're much better off. I run 93 and some marvel mystery oil, but I also admit that I've had to come down to that from mixtures of 110. I also haven't CCed my heads, so... who knows. But I think it can be done...
I read somwhere that 1 point increase in comp usually nets an average of 15 hp. I have no proof. But I did read it somewhere in a pile of my old mags.
What you gain from 10: to 11:1 is more vacuum, better throttle response, better gas mileage, and more power.
You have to do your homework before attempting to go over 10.5:1.
How did you calculate your compression ratio? Were the heads cc'd, pistons cc'd, how far is the piston in the hole, how thick is the head gasket? What is your quench? Without actually measuring, which most people don't do or have the tools to do (home builders). There is no way for you to know your TRUE compression. If you buy a set of heads that are supposed to be lets say 64cc, when you actually measure them they can/will be from 63 - 66cc in some instances. The same goes for pistons.
If you are estimating based on what the advertised compression ratio of the pistons are, then you can easily be 1.5 points off. there are a lot of "11:1" engines running around and in reality they are closer to 9:1.
I am not trying to start an argument you, may have very well measured everything. I just have a hard time believing you are running 11:1 with iron heads on 91 octane.
While the engine is new you might get away with it for a while but, once you start building up carbon and the compression goes up slightly this will end the party. Nevermind a bad load of gas.
If your engine is actually 11:1 with iron heads more power to you. I can tell you I have seen first hand what happens to "true" iron headed 11:1 engines on the street (broken ring lands, hammered bearings, poor performance).
Just cause you "have said it a million times" doesn't make it a fact.
Sent you a PM
If not pump gas how about aviation fuel? I have a gas station that sells it for air boats. Aviation fuel is what octane? 110?

During the interactive training, participants key in their responses using keypoint.
April 2012
On March 5, the ABA Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI) and the Philippines Judicial Academy (PHILJA) held the sixth of a series of trainings to familiarize judges with the revised and expanded edition of the benchbook for trial courts. Held at Fort Ilocandia Resort in Laoag City, the latest training was attended by 75 judges from the northernmost part of the Philippines.
Authored by seasoned practitioners and professors, and published by ABA ROLI and PHILJA, the benchbook explains procedures for each type of trial. The Philippine Supreme Court adopted the benchbook in September 2011. Since its adoption, ABA ROLI and PHILJA have trained 469 judges around the country.
Ruben Corpaz, a municipal trial court judge from the town of Bangur, La Union Province, said that the training was the first time he had used the revised benchbook. He had previously been relying on the original edition for guidance on pre-trial and trial procedure—sometimes to his detriment. "The old book can be misleading," he said. Imelda Cosalan, a municipal trial court judge from the city of San Fernando, La Union Province, agreed. Cosalan said, "Cases have changed the law, and judges can end up applying the wrong rules."
One of the most significant additions to the benchbook is the Supreme Court's 2010 Rules of Procedure for Environmental Cases. Under these rules, more than 1,000 trial courts across the country have been designated as 'green courts' and tasked with expediting environmental cases. The new benchbook devotes an entire chapter to explaining the rules and compiling environmental cases.
Corpaz said that although his court had been designated as green court, he had yet to decide a case using the environmental rules. "Now that I have the new benchbook, I will get to know the environmental rules," he said.
The interactive trainings show participants how to find information on rules, case law and proper writing style. They allow participants to use the benchbook as a reference to answer a series of questions, to consider case studies developed by experts from academia and the private sector, and to apply case and court management techniques. Participants said that the training was an excellent educational experience. Corpaz said, "I think it 's really effective."
ABA ROLI and PHILJA will provide similar trainings to judges across Philippines through late May. The benchbook and the trainings are funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development.

" Genre: Rock / Artist: The Move / Audio CD released 2012-02-13 at Nova Sales & Distribution (UK) Ltd "
* Prices may differ from that shown
The Move had had three years of hit singles in Britain, two line-up changes and were becoming generally dissatisfied with being seen as merely a pop group on their home patch, when they eventually undertook a long-delayed tour of America in October 1969. It would be their only visit across the Atlantic. Soon after returning to Britain, vocalist Carl Wayne left, songwriter and guitarist Roy Wood reluctantly assumed centre stage as vocalist as well, his friend Jeff Lynne from the unsuccessful band Idle Race joined, and their transition into the more ambitious ELO and later Wizzard soon followed.
In their early days they had issued a live EP recorded at the Marquee in London, more recently reissued with additional tracks. However, this is their only genuine live album - and we only had to wait 42 years to get it. The tapes had been kept by Wayne, who always intended that they should be released as a document to show what the group were capable of on stage. They were all set to come out on record until he passed away from cancer in 2004. The Move 'Anthology' 4-CD set in 2008 treated us to a preview of two helpings, but at last, here's the lot.
Recorded over two nights at the Fillmore West, this 2-CD set features about 100 minutes of music (admittedly with two slightly different performances of three tracks from consecutive nights), plus nearly 11 minutes of drummer Bev Bevan's reminiscences of the tour.
Warning - if you just know The Move from a handful of daytime radio-friendly golden oldies like 'Flowers In the Rain' and 'Blackberry Way', after five minutes of this you'll wonder if it is the same group. If you're open-minded enough to accept a group who could play heavy guitar-based rock in the style of their heroes Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience with plenty of improvisation and lengthy workouts, and are not familiar with their second album 'Shazam' which includes studio versions of five tracks here (I suspect few people apart from diehard fans are), this will come as quite a revelation.
Also, strangely in view of Wood's writing talents, only three numbers here are his compositions - and even then, two of them include plenty of integrated snatches from music by others. The rest are largely obscure covers of American songs. A slightly perverse decision, but then rules are there to be broken.
A few slashing power chords on guitar, a thunderclap on the drums, and a short sharp scream kick off seven minutes' worth of 'Open My Eyes', a song by Todd Rundgren and The Nazz. I'm not normally a fan of overlong guitar solos, but Wood's mastery of the six-string fretboard means there is rarely a dull moment. And his harmony vocals, amounting to almost shared lead at times, are pretty neat as well - even if the balance is a little off-centre and he is sometimes in danger of drowning Wayne out. Not forgetting that bassist Rick Price also contributes harmonies too, though as the 'new boy' I suspect his mic may have been kept turned down lower than those of the other two.
Next, a brief blast of feedback and some crunchy guitar takes us into 'Don't Make My Baby Blue', best known as a Barry Mann-Cynthia Weil song which gave the Shadows one of their few vocal hits. Slow and dramatic, and far heavier than the original, this clocks in at just over five minutes, very short by this album's standards.
At last, a Wood song (make that 'Wood song plus'), with 'Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited'. 'CBC' initially appeared on their first album, with extravagant strings and a tongue-in-cheek lyric about an inmate from a mental hospital (those were less PC days when the term 'loony bin' was bandied about quite frequently and most of us thought nothing of it). Here it is stripped down to basics, guitar, walking bass and shared vocals, segueing into a lengthy 'those you have loved' from the classics. Snippets from 'Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring', 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' (with an insanely catchy if armour-plated bass guitar figure that almost ends up sounding like the theme to 'Roobarb and Custard' at times), and 'Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy' all take a bow. It has to be heard to be believed.
To those of you who know Tom Paxton's 'The Last Thing On My Mind' as a poignant folk song of love and loss, The Move's version will come as a surprise - well, like much of this record. Tasteful guitar intro, vocal harmonies that sound rough yet exquisite at the same time, and some extended guitar stuff on the wah-wah pedal, add up to another eight minutes of standing the song on its head yet still coming out intact.
Finally, hit single territory - with a difference. 'I Can Hear The Grass Grow' (the only early Move chartbuster which stayed in their live set until they disbanded in 1972) clocks in at ten minutes. For the first three, it's perfectly recognisable and punchy, then Wayne takes us into a snatch of Steppenwolf's biker anthem 'Born To Be Wild', after which it's improvisation city on guitar and drums, followed by quotes from 'Peter Gunn' and '1812 Overture'. It stays just on the right side of self-indulgence.
Disc two starts with a marathon (almost seventeen minutes) of 'Fields Of People', originally by Ars Nova - who? - well yeah, this appears to be their sole claim to fame. It sounds like somebody forgot to hit the record button in time, as the intro is truncated and very quiet for the first few seconds. (Ah, the joys of leaving someone in charge of the reel-to-reel tape machine who either isn't paying attention, isn't familiar with the controls, or is...er...slightly high on something). After about seven minutes of mid-tempo song and rough yet spot-on vocal harmonies it almost comes to a halt, followed by a lengthy guitar-sitar solo. On a single CD this really would have sounded self-indulgent, but on a double CD it sounds OK, though you may not want to play it too often.
'Goin' Back', normally associated with Dusty Springfield (a Top 10 hit for her in 1966) and the Byrds, takes a bow with some good accapella harmony singing. Kept to just over five minutes with the minimum of soloing, this is one of the high points. As Wayne notes in the booklet, while they were there they had the image of 'a rock'n'roll Byrds' - no bad thing. The same goes for 'Hello Susie', the third Wood song which Wayne introduces a little dismissively as recently a British hit for teenybopper group Amen Corner. If you are familiar with the breezy brassy AC hit version, this heavy rendition of the song adds a very different dimension.
'Under The Ice', another Todd Rundgren song which stretches out to almost fifteen minutes, is for the most part another exercise in guitar and drum improvisation. Spot the little quotes from 'Matthew And Son', 'Norwegian Wood' and 'Eleanor Rigby'. It's another number which you may play every once in a while, and then skip or press the fast forward button the rest of the time.
Only then do we come to a short introduction from the compere welcoming us to the band onstage. (Maybe it should have been placed at the beginning?). That is followed by second performances of 'Baby Blue', 'Cherry Blossom' and 'Last Thing', and finally Bevan's memories of the tour sharing a bill with Little Richard and Joe Cocker, when they drove extraordinary distances from one venue to another, had to leave after Price's coke was spiked with acid, and were on the plane back to England while a promoter was expecting them to come and play further dates in New York. Naughty, lads.
Throughout the record, Wayne's spoken introductions are rather muffled and only really audible on a good pair of headphones (or is it my ears?). Also, unusually for a live album, there is very little applause to be heard - and what there is is well muted, so as not to interfere with the music too much.
As befits a release for the devoted but demanding minority (i.e. diehard Move fans like me who want more than just two shiny silver discs in a prettily-designed plastic case), the 12-page booklet has been put together with care. Included are several photos from the tour, a few words from Wayne's widow and son Sue and Jack, memories from Wayne, Bevan and Price plus fan-who-was-there-at-the-time Archie Patterson.
It's a kind of warts'n'all record, with rough edges left as they are. But then live gigs are like that, or they were in the days before photogenic, endlessly choreographed pop stars who would never dream of playing instruments on stage, even if they could, and would go on and sing to a backing track, or worse still mime the pesky songs. This has its flaws, the sound balance is not perfect, and it's a tad self-indulgent in places. Yet if you're a real Move nutter, or even a fan of what we used to call underground music at the time, approach it with an open mind. At its best, it is very good. Not quite five stars, but not far off.

May 2014
NOTE: to read the full newsletter with pictures, click HERE!
Greetings in the name of our Lord,
Before we knew it, summer arrived here in Alaska. The ice has gone out on the Tanana River and the trees and fields all around us have turned green. With the possible exception of the mosquitos, we are so thankful for the renewal of life that this season brings to our part of the world.
As we began this season of busyness one of the foremost issues on our mind was the replacement of the base insulator that electrically insulates and holds up the bottom of the KIAM Tower. We had noticed that it was cracked last fall and although it had survived the winter storms and winds, we knew that we had to replace it ASAP or risk losing the tower and transmitter building.
The only problem was that we had no idea how we would do this. The tower is 300' high and weighs over 15 tons.
The task of lifting up and/or disassembling a 300' tower is expensive and dangerous; not something we really could or should have attempted ourselves. The cost of hiring a professional tower service company to do the work was well beyond what we could afford. We had several people offer to help with the project, but without professional guidance we were very nervous about embarking upon this task. So we prayed.
No sooner had the snow melted, God, in his perfect timing provided for this need. A friend of the ministry heard of our plight and put us in contact with a ministry called Towers for Jesus. They were preparing to depart for Haiti to repair a tower for a radio ministry there, but after seeing the photo of our insulator they postponed their trip for a week and came up to Nenana to perform the replacement. The only cost to us was their expenses and the parts.
God even provided this, all at just the perfect time. The tower crew found all the parts and materials laying around our property to build what they needed to lift the tower. We also received donations that covered most of the cost.
So, we are rejoicing in God's provision and are so thankful for everyone who prayed for this need. KIAM reaches a significant part of the central interior with the gospel, and this wonderful blessing is a powerful confirmation to us that God wants it to continue.
VFCM held our annual meeting on May second and third, and the board and staff had a time of fellowship and rejoicing in what God has done in the last year as well as seeking His direction for the future as we serve Him.
The month of May has also brought several comings and sadly some goings as well. One of our missionary families in Big Lake, Victor and Brandi LaMie have sensed that God is leading them back to Illinois and they will be departing for home around May 15th. We will miss them. Please be praying with us that God guides and directs them as they seek His will for their next steps in ministry.
This month as well, we had two volunteers come to Nenana, one for a week and one for three months. Lola Weinreis, who has volunteered at KIAM several times in the past came to spend a week with us and brought her friend Kelsie Anderson who will be serving at KIAM until August. We are trusting that the summer months will see God move in exciting ways as we trust Him to supply our needs and to show us opportunities to serve Him.
Do be in prayer as we seek to recruit new missionaries to serve with VFCM. As well, pray for those who have volunteered to help with some of our summer projects. God has blessed us with most of the materials and equipment to complete them, pray for schedules and weather to cooperate.
We have had some financial challenges as well, but God has supplied our needs as they have arisen and we are so thankful for the prayers and support of His people. A 19th century missionary by the name of Hudson Taylor stated that, "God's work done God's way will never lack God's supply". It has been such a privilege and blessing to to see God work in this manner as we seek to honor and glorify Him.
Thank you for your part in bringing God's word and His message of hope and salvation in Christ to the people of rural Alaska. May God abundantly bless and encourage you as you serve Him.
Blessings in Christ,
Art Thompson
VFCM Executive Director.

An internet commenter who's gained notoriety in recent weeks for making appearances in the comments section of a gossip blog — and dropping some very disturbing insider dirt about Hollywood — has more or less outed himself as being Robert Downey Jr. And it he went out in a blaze of glory.
A certain anonymous commenter has become internet-infamous in the last few weeks by dropping some incredibly detailed, disturbing and very insidery gossip about Hollywood — regarding incest, pedophilia, and secret call girl rings that allegedly involve young starlets like Hayden Panettiere and Amanda Bynes — in the…
Your Monday morning sad: Dame Judi Dench says she's losing her vision and now needs people to read scripts to her. Diagnosed with macular degeneration, a condition that damages the retina and can lead to blindness, she can't see faces in front of her and needs lenses, glasses and bright lights to help her – at one…
The 25th American Cinematheque Award recently honored Robert Downey Jr. for his "life work" and he wanted to use some of that time to encourage us to forgive Mel Gibson for, well, you know —the alleged abuse, death threats, rantings, what have you— because he says Gibson has been a very good friend to him:
Between Christian Bale's turn as a slapstick Jesus, whatever the hell was going on with Helena Bonham Carter, and one celebrity's areola on display, there was a lot to take in during the subtle moments of last night's Golden Globes.

Right now "freedom of expression" with regards to religion has f*** all prominence in my own or anyone else I know's Hierarchy of Needs.
Well tbh it should. Booms and busts are unfortunately an economic certainty. As sure as night follows day practically you get em. Then the cycle starts again.
Losing things like free speech, liberty and human rights are an altogether different thing, and are much harder to get back once lost, than money or possessions.
Although I think that it is highly obnoxious and rude to attempt to rile people up by blaspheming against their belief system in their presence it isn't the job of Government to argue as to what is rude or what isn't.
I would support altering the Public Order Act too so that people can't be moved along and / or arrested for offending a large amount of people in an open space irrespective of how obnoxious I or others might find it. It isn't a right to not be offended, there is a right to free speech.
Some other posters have argued that the Government should influence societies culture, Teclo and Dr Gallen in particular. Personally, I don't think the State should reflect anyones culture. The State should legislate in terms of ensuring that people for the most part can live in liberty and to ensure that those liberties don't infringe on others. Both Teclo's approach, and Dr Gallen's approach seem to be getting the wrong end of the stick. Personally, I'd rather not have the State try to shove a particular ideology down others throats whether that be religious or not.
The idea that a secular state should promote secular values and culture is absurd to me. Who says that secular values and culture are any better than theistic forms of values and culture? Why should the State argue for this? All the State should do is be impartial towards peoples opinions, beliefs and whatever else have you and allow them the expression to communicate those beliefs in public.
I agree with phil. the end cometh!!!
And when do you think would be a good time to look at it? When we have 100% employment and a balanced budget? If that was the way we thought about everything, nothing would get done at all.
This is why we have numerous Government departments. So that stuff varying importance and urgency can be dealt with simultaneously. Having someone deal with the blasphemy law would't necessarily have any impact on any of the other things going on.
I don't think anyone is saying to drop everything and deal with it, but there's no harm in getting it on the agenda.
It's pretty high up Tarek Mehanna's hierarchy of needs, who has just been convicted in the US basically for expressing his admittedly extreme and pretty repulsive opinion and who is now facing possible life imprisonment.
For government authorities increasingly worried about the growth of the English-speaking extremist community and the possibility of homegrown terror, the Mehanna conviction may provide what is, in their view, a salutory chilling effect. For civil libertarians concerned about the government being able to prosecute ugly speech as a crime, that chilling effect is anything but salutory, because it could end up curtailing the rights of other critics of the US government, not just those who commit crimes based on their beliefs. It's hard to escape the conclusion that at some level the US government is now in the business of policing which views are appropriate to express.
I think you are reading me wrong, or else I'm not being clear.
i was responding with regard to the above exchange.
JD would claim that we have bigger things to be worrying about than this leglislation, and what it stands for.
Gizmo's opinion (and the one that i share) is that free expression is of paramount importance.
JD then responds as above, stating that it's not top of his list of things right now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but thats likely a reference to the economic climate we find ourselves in, and how that should be the be all and end all of everything.
I was simply replying to JD that, things like the curtailment of liberty and free expression should be much higher up on the "list" no matter how bad times are.
I would agree that the state has little role to forcing an ideology (religious or otherwise) on the people. I can only assume that you are picking up on a previous comment I made in response to Teclo, who to my mind tried to say that a secular state would be less able to to reflect the values and the history and culture of the country than one with religious dogma in the constitution. Thats something I wouldn't agree with, but don't take that to mean that I think the state should be interfering and imposing their own version of a dogma upon the people.
Protecting freedom and liberty for all is the role of the government alright, and thats were it should more or less stop.
More importantly, what happened to the changes to abortion laws the gvt has to make following the European court ruling?
Personally in favour of the law, not from a moral standpoint however but for the practical reason in that it would be a usefull legal tool if somebody decided to start burning Korans or other actions that could severly hamper this states (and its people) interests, and as other posters have pointed out there would be outrage if this law was applied inappropriatly.
We don't have free speach here anyway due to the Libel laws and laws about incitment to hatred etc, and long lists of proscribed organisations, and the gangland laws, so to me this is really a non-issue.
Let public order acts deal with this type of situation. The ideal for me is a pluralist secular society where religion is kept out of legislation. Keep it simple and you will have less unforseen complications in the long run.
If I had an ideal to strive for in respect to church - state relations it wouldn't be to keep voices quiet in society. Everyone should be allowed to speak, but decisions should be determined on the basis of merit rather than on what creed they come from. I don't agree with telling religious voices to simply shut up on the basis of social issues, I just don't agree that they should be favoured (or disfavoured) because they are of a particular faith grouping in society. All ideas should be considered on an equal basis.
A quote that I found particularly useful on this was from the former PM of Australia Kevin Rudd:
Wow, that's quite an assertion. Are you suggesting that a secular society cannot have values? Culture? History?
Firstly you're telling me what I should think important. Sound familiar? Not very 'free' of you.
Secondly, quality of life involves more than just "money and possessions" yet can be affected by the current recession.
I think one of the big problems with discussing "secular society" is that there's misunderstanding of what the term means. Some people assume secular means "anti-religious", which isn't the case. Secularism isn't about keeping voices quiet, it's about insuring that religious organisations (not religious people in the population) don't have an undue influence on the state. It's also about insuring that religious minorities, or those of no religion, aren't discriminated against.
The Mother and Child scheme crisis of 1950's is an example of undue influence by the Church (as an organisation) in the Government's affairs. The Church were presented with the scheme for approval, and when they disproved, Minister for Health Noël Browne not only had to abandon introducing the scheme, but had no option but to resign as a result. In his resignation statement he said:
The State gave in to Church teaching on the matter.
The Church also effectively threatened Browne with excommunication if he pressed ahead with the plan. In 1950's Ireland, that would have been a serious (extra-judicial) punishment, so he had no choice but to relent. This was an appalling interference in democracy and republican government by an unaccountable force. It would be a bit like the Government abandoning a Criminal Justice bill on pressure from a crime gang.
Thankfully, things aren't so bad now. But that's only thanks to the slow march of secularism. And it is slow. The Catholic Church still has an undue influence in the administration of public policy and the provision of public services in this country.
In 2005, Liz O'Donnell from the Progressive Democrats made a speech in the Dail calling for an end to the State consulting with the Church on medical issue such as IVF, and stem cell research. We have a situation in Ireland at present where there is no regulation of assisted reproduction because successive governments have been afraid to confront the Church on their opposition to these matters, so we have the typical "Irish solution to an Irish problem" of pretending the issue doesn't exist, and do nothing about it. Fertility clinics are therefore operating in Ireland as best they can without proper guidelines, and can't provide some services to couples with fertility problems that are routine in most other EU states.
This, by the way, was Berty Ahern's Reply to Liz O'Donnel's complaint of undue influence from the Catholic Church on the Government:
We also have a bizarre situation where the Catholic Church controls about 90% of the state's primary schools, despite the fact that the state pays for them. Basically, we're outsourcing our public education system to a religious monopoly.
The Church also has a hand in running many of the public hospitals in this country - again basically outsourcing much of our health service to a single religious organisation. In 2005, the Matter Hospital in Dublin (run by the Sisters of Mercy) suspended a trial of lung cancer medication because the program involved the use of contraception by female patients, contrary to Catholic teaching. So even non-Catholic lung cancer patients of the hospital couldn't take part in the trial.
So we have a situation where a majority of public schools and hospitals have various State rules and guidelines that govern them, but then they an "ethos" (Catholic teaching) that often takes precedence.
If these were private institutions, that would be fine. They could have all the ethos they wanted.
Secularism isn't about silencing the religious views or convictions of the population. People are perfectly free to defer to their religious beliefs when voting in elections or referendums, and rightly so. It's not about "state atheism". It's not even about stopping the Church from expressing it's views and teachings.
What it is about is removing an undemocratic and unaccountable direct religious influence, (in the form of any religious organisation, but in Ireland's present case, this means the Catholic Church) from public policy and services. We're a democracy, and the power of the Government should come from the people alone - not diluted by the unelected executive management of one particular denomination of one particular religion.
phutyle: I'm simply saying that secularism doesn't mean drowning out faith-based voices in society or ignoring them. Rather it simply means that all belief systems should be regarded equally by the Government. I'm supportive of that general principle. I'm not supportive of when people argue that faith has no role in society, or that people arguing from a faith based perspective should be ignored. That's going beyond the definition.
An example would be that if a Jewish politician brought a piece of legislation inspired by the Talmud to the parliament, if the idea had merit and was indeed useful, I wouldn't reject it, I'd welcome it. Likewise in terms of the Qur'an or the Bible or any other document, or indeed if an atheist or agnostic presented legislation that was useful for society. I'd welcome that too. Ideas should be considered on merit, things should only be dismissed on validation.
As useful as the above post was for a general runthrough of where Ireland is, it wasn't really tackling my point.

So, yes, there were some Utah connections to Oscar weekend — and not just Ellen DeGeneres' trivia drop that Bruce Dern's grandfather was governor of the Beehive State.
• The documentary-feature winner, "20 Years From Stardom," made its world premiere on the opening night of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Several of the film's subjects — backup singers who finally got the spotlight — appeared on the Eccles Theatre stage. However, Darlene Love (who belted out a song from the Oscar stage last night) was a late arrival to Park City and missed the opening-night screening.

I took the pic while at work at night (around midnight). I tried using a flash but it didn't work so well either.
In spite of everything I still had to do some editing with Paint Shop Pro to get the car to stand out better against the store.
Unfortunately it just snowed, and it's going to be really cold this week... I don't wanna freeze the doors shut giving the car a bath right away. I'll take a daytime pic soon, tho.

Police Officer Hit By Falling Tree During Traffic Stop
Police dash cam in Centerville Iowa caught this.
A woman was pulled over for driving with her headlights off and as the officer approached the suv a giant oak tree fell hitting the officer and suv.
The Centerville police chief issued a statement saying there was no wind in the area that night and the owners of the tree said they had no idea it had rotted because it appeared healthy and continued to sprout green leaves each season.
The police officer and driver had minor injuries.

Carson Tops
HI THERE ANY HELP ON COVERING A CARSON TOP? I BUILT A TOP FROM TUBING AND CHICKEN WIRE FROM AN ARTICLE I GOT FROM ROD AND CUSTOM THE PROBLEM IS I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO COVER IT. FOAM.GLUE.SHAPEING FOAM ECT . PLEASE HELP. thanks for your time guys have a great weekend.
I dont even know where to start, its a process that is kinda hard to explain....Do you know how to sew?
carson top
no dont know how to saw well not with a sewing machine anyway . but how do they sew around the chickem wire and how tothey get an headliner there too
THe top is sewn off of the frame and chicken wire, then stretched over it. Some small attachment points should be made on the bows to attach a piece of wood for the headliner.
carson top
hi thank you very muck for your time and knowledge. the frame ive built it is not designed for windows. so the top material can roll around. could it be possible togue a 1/4'' sheet of closed cell foam to the chicken wire. do any minor shapeing, then glue the material over the foam. and roll it around the tube and glue it. i understand that the material will not be wideenough so i would have to have someone stitch the top together first. will that work? thank you i truly do thank you for your time this thing has been driving me nuts.
In order for the chicken wire to not show through the foam and material, youll need to layer it. Id try a layer of open scrim cloth, then a thin layer of open cell, hen the closed cell, then the top material. This should give a nice pad to the top, and not allow the pattern of the chicken wire show through.
carson top
thanks. should i use the same glue that the pros use to glue vinyl tops? also the closed cell faom can be shaped right? with a da sander with 80 grit sanding disc?
For a top, yes, use a commercial/industrial grade spray adhesive. Landau top foam/closed cell foam can be shaped and sanded. I would sand it by hand, a DA sander would sand right through it in seconds if your not careful. Definitely practice sanding on a scrap piece of it before you sand on the actual top.
carson top
cool. so once i get the foam where i want it then glue the stayfast to the foam? then pull it around the tubeing and glue it to the inside of the top?.
That sounds pretty good. Cant think of anything else to say about the process now, if i do, ill let you know.
carson top update
well krist you gave me some great advise i have the top coverd with closed cell foam and shaped pretty well,. that foam great to work with messy though. foam allover the place wifes going nuts. anyway. another question should i use a softer faom for the finish layer. it may get rid of a few of the highs and low spots for do i just keep sanding like on body work . also when the final top is ready to go on bye the way i bought the stayfast hotrod line concord grape looks great. do i glue the entire top or just the egdes pull and stretch then roll under. so in other word the top has no glue just the edges that roll under into the interior? thanks guy your a life aver to this board. bye the way if i was to do it over again i wouldnt i would let the shop do it. its just my stuborn nature to beable to say i did it thanks guys mark

As if the "Broadway Diet" didn't offer enough reason to re-route away from West Broadway, the Missoula Police Department will be conducting a "Traffic Enforcement Event" along the 2100 block of that thoroughfare today from 6 to 9 p.m.
From the official release:
The purpose of this temporary roadblock is to promote traffic safety awareness. The Missoula Police Department encounters thousands of drivers each year with registration violations, insurance violations and driver's license violations. This is an effort to bring more drivers into compliance with those state laws and with municipal traffic codes. Local law enforcement has used this enforcement strategy in the Missoula area before with positive results.
The checkpoint will be clearly marked with signs, lights and uniformed officers. Officers will use marked vehicles and will be checking for current driver's licenses, registrations and insurance. Drivers will experience minimal delays and should have the proper documentation with them — proof of insurance, driver's license and registration.
Highway Technologies and Iron Horse Towing have agreed to donate services to assist the Missoula Police Department in this public safety event. The Montana Highway Patrol will also assist the Police Department.

An Investment Opinion
by Rick Aristotle Munarriz
Dis Engage?
Today, Engage (Nasdaq: ENGA) becomes engaged to the stock market with its initial public offering. While Internet nuptials are destined to live out rocky up and down marriages, this should prove to be one honey of a honeymoon.
Engage is in the online "cookie" business. Its high-tech bakery includes a database chock full of online user profiles from more than 30 million anonymous cybersurfers. As you enter an Engage-enabled website, it tracks your browsing habits and updates your preferences. By knowing where you've been, and probably where you're going, it becomes an invaluable tool for advertisers to effectively target their marketing messages.
Today's IPO is yet another feather in the cap for Internet incubator specialist CMGI (Nasdaq: CMGI). While CMGI has been successful in taking stakes in Lycos (Nasdaq: LCOS) and GeoCities when they were young and profiting greatly when they went public, and in making back its venture capital investments several times over by selling subsidiaries to America Online (NYSE: AOL), Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), Engage is CMGI's first wholly owned subsidiary to go public.
Rather, it was wholly owned until today's six million share offering. CMGI will still retain an 82% stake in the company. It has been a hot entity in its pre-market days, with pricing set at $15 per share after initially being targeted in the $9-11 range. The heat is understandable. Even at $15 a share, this values Engage at just $700 million. That's a far cry from the $3.5 billion that competitor DoubleClick (Nasdaq: DCLK) is commanding.
With CMGI announcing its purchase of AltaVista from Compaq (NYSE: CPQ) last month in a deal valued at $2.3 billion, it poses an interesting scenario where Engage may eventually inherit the juicy AltaVista portal cookie deal that accounts for 40% of DoubleClick's sales. While DoubleClick has gone on its own buying spree (NetGravity, Abacus Direct) to help absorb the possible lost business, the Engage offering today has not helped matters much. At midday DoubleClick is off $6 15/16 to $87 7/8, while CMGI is down $1 1/4 at $100 1/4.
Granted, DoubleClick reported less than stellar earnings yesterday, but the negative sentiment tied to the relative value of Engage seems daunting. Engage's client list is already filled with big names like Dell (Nasdaq: DELL), CNET (Nasdaq: CNET) and SportslineUSA (Nasdaq: SPLN) as well as CMGI-connected companies like Lycos and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT).
In a battle of cookie monsters, Engage appears to be the one to watch. So, do you like Engage's chances? If you do, odds are Engage knew it all along as well.
Online health information services firm Healtheon (Nasdaq: HLTH) advanced $5 5/16 to $64 3/8 after agreeing to develop an online prescription services pilot program for physicians with a high concentration of patients served by Merck's (NYSE: MRK) Merck-Medco pharmacy benefit management unit. Under the deal, Healtheon will provide the software to physicians while Merck-Medco will provide the prescription application and physician sponsorships.
Oil and natural gas exploration and production firm Enron Oil & Gas Co.

EOG expects the transaction will add to its cash flow per share "immediately" and will reduce international uncertainties by focusing its business on North America.

Air carrier Continental Airlines (NYSE: CAL) climbed $1 1/2 to $42 15/16 after Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette raised its rating on the company to "buy" from "market perform." Yesterday, Continental reported Q2 EPS of $1.80, topping the First Call mean estimate by $0.07.

Cracker Barrel chain parent CBRL Group (Nasdaq: CBRL) crumbled $2 to $16 after announcing that it expects earnings for fiscal Q4 ending July 30 to be between $0.21 and $0.25 per share. That's significantly short of last year's EPS of $0.56 as well as the analysts' mean estimate of $0.37. The company said same-store sales have not met expectations, and expenses have risen as the company increased store management staffing levels.
Software giant Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) softened $4 3/8 to $94 this morning. The company posted a 39% gain in fiscal fourth-quarter revenues from the year before, but warned that it expects revenue growth rates to fall in fiscal 2000. The company anticipates the decline will result from slowing PC demand, uncertainty surrounding the Year 2000 problem, and volatile global economic conditions. Margins are not expected to improve further. For more on the news, head back to this morning's Breakfast With the Fool.
Customer relationship management (CRM) software company Firstwave Technologies (Nasdaq: FSTW) gave back $2 25/32 to $5 27/32 after rocketing up $6 3/4, or 360%, yesterday on news that Microsoft chose its Netgain Sales Web-based CRM system for its embedded systems group.
Glass products maker Apogee Enterprises (Nasdaq: APOG) was shattered for a loss of $1 15/16 to $12 1/16 on news that it expects to turn in Q2 EPS of between $0.18 and $0.20, down from last year's $0.33 and well off First Call's three-analyst mean estimate of $0.38. Returns at the company's auto glass division, hurt by price pressure and sagging demand, have been disappointing and have in turn hurt glass services revenue.
Personal care products network marketer Nu Skin Enterprises (NYSE: NUS) molted $2 5/8 to $16 5/8 after reporting Q2 EPS of $0.25, flat with last year's results and $0.06 below the First Call estimate. Operating margins fell because of higher distributor incentives in the U.S. and increased overhead related to recurring amortization charges and the impact of consolidating its private affiliates. The company also closed its $37 million purchase of privately held e-commerce technologies firm Big Planet.
Seismic data acquisition and oilfield services company Petroleum Geo-Services (NYSE: PGO) leaked $1 1/4 to $20 on news that the company plans to sell 10 million American depositary shares and and $200 million in senior notes. Proceeds from the sale are expected to be used to pay off bank debt.
Semiconductor fabrication equipment company PRI Automation (Nasdaq: PRIA), which reported a fiscal Q3 loss of $0.17 per share, retreated $5 13/16 to $32 5/16. "We are very encouraged by the increase in bookings activity and business outlook," said CEO Mitch Tyson. "Our book-to-bill ratio was again above the industry average. We believe we are finally in the upturn.'' Merrill Lynch nevertheless cut its near-term rating on the stock to "neutral" from "accumulate."
Software developer Cognizant Technology Solutions (Nasdaq: CTSH) fell $1 15/16 to $27 1/2 despite reporting Q2 EPS of $0.27, better than last year's $0.15 and First Call's three-analyst consensus estimate of $0.25. Year 2000-related revenue fell to 20% of total sales from 26% in Q1. "Despite some evidence that the growth of IT spending has slowed down due to the Y2K lockdown," said CFO Gordon Coburn, "we are confident that we will continue to meet expectations for the rest of 1999."

Do they make font books anymore? I've made use of them in the past, from my library in Ukiah, California, but from my few visits here in Washington to some local libraries, it seems like they' ve gutted out much of the old books, and I'm afraid they may not have any.
I've tried some Net research, but most seem to refer to on-line sources that have be downloaded and installed in your wordprocess…

I would really like to give a shout out over to my friend Stephen at his blog Happy-Medium.net . Stephen is a type 1 diabetic who BRAVELY took on the challenge of eating the diet a person with celiac disease has to follow- a strict, gluten free diet, including watching for cross-contamination risks.
He did his homework, and WOW is he doing a wonderful job. Please go over to his site and check out his day by day chronicle of his eating gluten free experiment.
When he first presented me with the idea, I thought it was great, and I offered to help in anyway possible. I gave him some initial basic information that he would need to begin his gluten free week. If you are curious about the diet, you can certainly ask me, a "seasoned" strict GF celiac, or you can also read Stephen's blog to hear about what it's like to be a brand new celiac who is trying to figure out what to eat. It's very interesting!
I was asked earlier and yes, all wine is gluten free, and there are many gluten free beers available and other drinks. I always refer to an online GF drinks and spirits list to find out what is GF.
Stephen will be embarking on day 3 next, and I'm very excited to read about it! Keep up the good work, Stephen!
About Me
- Nikki
- I'm a glass-half-full type of girl. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, grave's disease and celiac disease in 2010 and life-altering allergies in 2013. I believe having a positive attitude is the only way to live with dis-ease. I also believe that life doesn't have to be PERFECT for it to be WONDERFUL. Dis-ease is expensive, so I live a frugal yet healthy lifestyle. This is just my blog; my day-to-day story.

YOU are very kind... and a great source of support. ThanksReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing the great post that Stephen wrote, Nikki! I've not been very knowledgeable about celiac and gluten-free until recently, when my wife started experiencing some issues and began GF eating. Not easy to endure, and I'm just looking at it from the outside. Thanks for all the posts you're doing to raise awareness and share your story! Very appreciated.ReplyDelete

behavior issues with a 7 month old
I got my girl when she was 10 weeks old, she just turned 7 months old and is spayed. I'm having some annoying issues with her. First off, I did take her to obedience training and she passed just fine but at home she behaves a lot worse. She'll listen to her commands to sit/stay/free/down but thats its. At 7 months shes is still mouthing\biting. I managed to get her to stop biting everyone else in my family when she wants to be petted by them but she bites me all day long.
I just want to mention that I'm with her almost all the time, since the day I got on her X-mas eve I dropped my work hours to twice a week and only 5 hours each day. I have no life so I'm home all the time with her. I've had her on a leash in the house since day 1, I have 4 older dogs, small breeds 5-12 years old. None of them want anything to do with her. she is nice to them but they'll attack or growl at her if she gets within a few feet.
Besides the fact that she won't quit trying to eat me I'm also annoyed that I still have to keep her on a leash all day, when I drop it she goes bat **** insane running around, trying to jump on top of the other dogs and chewing anything she can. Is this normal at 7 months for a GSD? I had a GSD\Rottie mix for 15 years but he was the laziest most laid back dog ever made.
Oh, I also want to make it clear that while at 7 months her mouthing and biting really, really hurts she NEVER had broken skin so I think that she just might not realize what she's doing. =\ She is such a sweetie but has some problems.
I walk her 4 times a day for 20 minutes each, I also take her out back a few times a day to toss sticks for her to chase since she loves them. The problem with this is I have to keep her on a 15 foot leash, my yard is fenced in but if she really wants to I'm sure she could climb\jump it. 2 months ago when she was much smaller she was just standing next to the kitchen table and jumped right on top of it without even needing a running start.

You only have to be read your Miranda rights when you are arrested (or detained in manner equivalent to arrest) and you are being questioned by a police officer. That said, it sounds like there might be some issues with the officer's investigation here. You should speak to an attorney to find out more about the strength of these issues.See question
I had a blood and UA done at the hospital. Should I wait to get an attorney?
The toxicology lab seems to be taking longer than usual (due to, I assume, a recent court of appeals case). That said, courts don't HAVE to wait for the blood test results, and you could be charged at any time. Even if you don't retain an attorney right now, I would certainly begin talking to some local attorneys so you are not in a rush when the you get the summons to court.
Plus, at a free consult, you could get these types of questions answered in depth, at no cost to you.See question

Probably the easiest answer is to get a lawyer involved to call the two company up, determine what the issue is, and take the appropriate action on your own. It seems like you have exhausted the options personally available to you. I agree, however, that it may be a good idea to call the Department of Licensing. You might also try Volunteer Legal Services at the King County Bar or Tacoma Pierce County Bar.See question
I had a deferred in WA in 1993. Will it matter?
If this case was in Washington, your prior deferred prosecution under RCW 10.05 makes you ineligible for a subsequent one, as you are only allowed one per lifetime. However, since your subsequent charge is in Arizona, Arizona law controls. Thus, I defer to previous responses on the availability of deferred prosecution in AZ.See question

Your question is dependent on the law of the state where you were convicted. You mention New Jersey (NJ) and Pennsylvania (PA). But, the conviction state is unclear. You may want to try to post this question to the appropriate location for more helpful answers.See question
My brother got a dui in his home state Pennsylvania 2 years ago. He just got another one out of state in Maryland. I know that when they send the conviction into Penndot they will consider it a second offence on his driving record. But what I'm...
Generally, states will consider out-of-state DUIs as priors. Maryland law controls, so your brother should retain a lawyer there (and you may want to repost or change this question's location to Maryland).See question

It seems like the officers believed you were operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs. Whether the officers' belief was reasonable depends on what they observed. Obviously, the blood test results will also be an important factor. With these unknowns, it is impossible to estimate the strength of the case against you.
Retaining an attorney to make this assessment and advise you on the appropriate course of action is the next step.See question
In 2012, while visiting California and driving a rental car with a Washington state driver's license, I got a DUI. My privilege to drive in California was suspended. However, after completing the suspension, fine, community service, and alcohol ...
I agree with previous answers. You can check the status of your license here: https://fortress.wa.gov/dol/dolprod/dsdDriverStatusDisplay/ and here: https://fortress.wa.gov/dol/dolprod/dsdreinstatements/See question
this accident he was in was in Feb 2014. all the blood work has come back so we are assuming a warrant will be issues soon..?
A second DUI will result in mandatory jail time in most states. When jail time, and the collateral consequences of jail time, is at stake, it is all the more important to hire an attorney as early as possible. An attorney can look at factual and legal issues to argue/negotiate for a amended charge or dismissal. If it goes that far, good facts can mean an acquittal at trial.See question

Despite late start in growing season, North Country's blueberry picking season soon to be here
By JOHN KOZIOL
Sunday News Correspondent | July 12. 2014 7:33PM
In anticipation of the July 14 start of the 2014 season, Sheila Fabrizio on Wednesday inspects the incoming blueberry crop at Windy Ridge Orchard and Christmas Tree Farm in North Haverhill. There are 1,000 pick-your-own, high-bush blueberry plants, divided among five varieties, on a two-acre parcel at the orchard which is also well known this time of year for its blueberry pancakes and blueberry wine. (John Koziol/Sunday News Correspondent)
At Windy Ridge Orchard, blueberries - which are pick-your-own - extend the earning season by a month and a half, said Fabrizio, this allows the family-owned business to also sustain its efforts in the Cider House Café and The Vineyard and Winery at Seven Birches, the signature wine of which is blueberry flavored.
The vertical, high-bush plants make it easy for just about anyone to pick blueberries, said Fabrizio, which at Windy Ridge Orchard include the Blueray, Patriot, Northland, Jersey and Bluecrop varieties.
On Wednesday, as she got ready for the July 14 start of the blueberry season, Fabrizio said all indicators were positive.

It has been widely reported that in times of a recession, people tend to get engulfed in a wave of nostalgia and revert back to practices and products of times gone by. This sentiment played on my mind as I opened a jar of Pond's Cold Cream, a classic cleanser that I'm sure nearly all our grannies have used at some stage of their lives.
The smell immediately brought me back to childhood – to weekends spend with my grandmother, playing with the limited array of cosmetics on her dressing table and watching her tend to her skin. Many people I asked were full of praise for this timeless product, citing their grandmother's smooth skin as a result of a lifetime of a Pond's Cold Cream skincare regime.
I don't know whether the formula has changed (but it does come in new, modern packaging) since our grannie's day, but it does contain liquid paraffin and synthetic wax among other ingredients, which some may not want to use on their skin. Personally, I found the cream to be calming and soothing as it is applied to the face. It will take off even the most stubborn of make-up too, without drying out your skin. For best results, apply in circular motions, then remove with a warm face cloth for the ultimate cold cream experience. After a while it smoothed out the dry patches on my face, efficiently removing my make up and eliminating the need to moisturise in the summer months.
With a celebrity following – Kylie Minogue is rumoured to be a fan – it's an oldie, but a goodie, and definitely worth a try. Ponds Cold Cream costs £4.49 and is available nationwide.

Using old-fashioned stats, advanced metrics or simply your eyes, Ryan Zimmerman has had a rough year at third base. This is no secret, of course. He ranks 17th in defensive runs saved and last in UZR among big league third basemen. He has made 19 errors, 14 of them on throws. In the wake of offseason shoulder surgery, his throwing motion has vacillated between serviceable and painful to watch. Sunday afternoon, he forgot to cover third base in a crucial situation.
Zimmerman's season has led to discussion about the possibility of a move across the diamond to first base. If it happens, the experiment will not begin this year. The Nationals have no plans to play Zimmerman at first base at the end of this season.
The Nationals still believe is in the final stages of recovering from the shoulder surgery that repaired an inflamed AC joint and fraying in both his rotator cuff and labrum. Manager Davey Johnson said Zimmerman played much of this season in "no-man land," essentially even with the base. The positioning made the throw to first shorter, but it also cut down on his range.
Since the middle of this month, Johnson said, Zimmerman has been playing a step or two further back at third base in order to give himself more range, a sign of increased confidence in his arm strength. Since the all-star break, Zimmerman has made five errors in 32 games.
Moving Zimmerman to first base next year, if the Nationals wanted to, would prove complicated. First of all, Zimmerman would lose a lot of value as an offensive player. At third, he's in the top tier of hitters at his position. At first, he would be a little above average. His six-year, $100 million extension starts this offseason. He may still be worthy of it if he can revive his value at third. At first base, he would have to become a different caliber of hitter, something that doesn't seem plausible at this stage of his career.
And that's just a look at Zimmerman in vacuum. The Nationals already have a first baseman, Adam LaRoche, under contract for $12 million for the 2014 season. In his age-33 season, LaRoche has essentially been a replacement-level player. Because of a sudden crash in both offense (.238/.325/.417) and defense that earned him a Gold Glove last year, LaRoche's WAR is 0.5 per Baseball-Reference and 0.4 per FanGraphs. He is not a player other teams are going to be lining up to trade for.
The Nationals could eat his contract, but with their payroll certain to go up as so much of their core advances in arbitration, it seems more prudent to hold on to LaRoche and hope he bounces back. He did finish sixth in NL MVP voting just last year.
Even if the Nationals could move LaRoche, it would not provide a clean solution to their infield problem. They would move Anthony Rendon to third base, and Rendon has made 15 errors in 78 games as a rookie. Most of those errors have come after the Nationals wedged him into second base, which he last played with any consistency in Little League. With an offseason and spring training to mature and focus on one spot, Rendon would surely improve. But Rendon at this point is not obvious, immediate defensive upgrade.
The Nationals would also then face a hole at second base. Danny Espinosa is still searching in the minors, possibly due to a shoulder injury both he and the team insist is not the problem. The Nationals already passed over Steve Lombardozzi for Rendon this season, though Lombardozzi has played better in the second half. Would they throw money at the problem in free agency? Roll the dice that Espinosa can put himself back together again at that plate, at least enough to get his glove back in the majors? Again, no clean solution.
If the Nationals even considered shifting Zimmerman across the diamond in 2014, they would realize they're kind of backed into a corner. This does not even consider the intangible implications of shifting a franchise player to a new position in what should be the prime of his career, in the season his huge contract extension kicks in.
For many reasons, trying to upgrade the Nationals' infield with sweeping change may seem attractive. But standing pat is simpler and probably more sensible. At 28, Zimmerman still has age on his side for a couple more seasons.
Zimmerman attempted a major change to his throwing motion for the third straight season on the fly. He could not throw across the diamond this year until midway through spring training – the surgery he had in November is still causing a ripple effect. He is such a gifted natural defensive player that, even after several maddening seasons, the combination of returning arm strength and an entire winter of throwing may correct, or at least diminish, the problem.
Counting on Zimmerman at third in 2014 carries risk. But so does moving him to first. It would be more sound for the Nationals to bet on Zimmerman, at least for one more season, than making all the other moves it would require to bet against him.
James Wagner examines whether or not Bryce Harper has become a target for opposing teams.
Syracuse 15, Rochester 5: Danny Espinosa went 3 for 6 with no strikeouts. Corey Brown went 1 for 3 with a home run and three walks. Jeff Kobernus went 2 for 5 wth a double and a walk and is hitting .324. Ryan Mattheus allowed no runs in one inning on one hit, striking out one.
Harrisburg 12, Altoona 5: Brian Goodwin went 3 for 4 with two doubles, a triple and a walk. Billy Burns went 3 for 4 with a double and a walk. In 23 games at Harrisburg, Burns, 23, is hitting .330/.438/.364 with 11 steals.

"Pure Michigan" Awareness May Expand
A Michigan House committee this week will consider a bill that changes the name of Michigan's scenic and other special highways.
Current law designates roads that are considered to be scenic, recreational or historic, as Michigan Heritage Routes.
But that would be changed to "Pure Michigan Byways" under a measure before the House Transportation Committee on Tuesday in Lansing.
The bill is sponsored by Michigan House Republican Peter Pettalia of Presque Isle.
