Yesterday was such an exciting day in the sewing room, as I stitched together the last of my filler or connector blocks.
Even though I pretty much knew what this quilt top would look like with all the blocks on the design wall together, there is just something about seeing them up there for real.
It's pretty safe to say this is the scrappiest quilt I have ever made. It's been a lot of work – but not as much as I thought initially. If it hadn't been for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years happening right in the middle of the project, I think I would be finished with the quilt by now.
Today I'll begin stitching all these blocks together. I'm guessing that will take several hours. I can't wait to have the top completely assembled and start quilting. It's beginning to feel real!

ABOUT Green Day
Green Day - vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer TRÉ COOL - were kids from working-class backgrounds who came of age in the underground punk scene in Berkeley. Even though they had released two records prior (1039 / Smoothed Out Slappy Hours and Kerplunk), they announced their arrival with 1994's Dookie, a dynamic blast of exuberant punk-pop that sold 15 million copies and earned the band its first Grammy® Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. Over the years, Green Day continued to top the charts with their subsequent studio albums Insomniac, Nimrod and Warning, while entertaining millions of fans with their frenetic live shows. But it was their landmark 2004 album American Idiot that launched Green Day into the stratosphere.

Veena Malik seems to be getting ready to give a perfect treat for mass audience in her debut Kannada movie Silk Sakkath Hot Maga. The actress' hot photos, which are hitting internet at regular intervals, have not only given good publicity for the movie, but also has made people wait for the release of the movie on their toes.
From the day one, Veena Malik has taken the platforms of social networking sites and her PR agency to publicise the movie. Especially, the photos featuring the actress in revealing outfits have become a big hit among mass audience and netizens. In fact, the actress has shed all her inhibitions for Silk Sakkath Hot Maga.
Probably, in the recent years, no actress in Kannada film industry has dropped clothes to the level of Veena Malik, which has shocked and surprised Sandalwood audience. Well, cine-goers are not complaining rather keenly waiting for the release of Silk Sakkath Hot Maga. Continue reading the story and also enjoy seeing the latest photos of the movie...
Promotions In Online Forums
Veena Malik's Silk Sakkath Hot Maga has been getting good publicity in online forums. In fact, Bollywood websites are carrying news and the photos of her Kannada movie, looking at the massive response from netizens for her film.
Title Issue
Silk Sakkath Hot Maga has been getting free publicity for one or the other reason. To begin with, the movie was making a lot of noise over the title issue, which was earlier called as Dirty Picture: Silk Sakkath Hot Maga.
A Biopic On Sex Siren
Silk Sakkath Hot Maga is a biopic on yesteryear sex siren Silk Smitha. Earlier, Bollywood producer Ekta Kapoor had made a movie on Silk titled The Dirty Picture, which became a massive hit.
Ekta Kapoor Raises Objection
This made Ekta Kapoor raise objection over the movie citing that the makers of the movie are trying to cash in from her movie The Dirty Picture.
Title Issue Landed In KFCC
Ekta Kapoor wrote to the KFCC and asked them to intervene. But the makers of the Kannada film claimed that their movie was not a remake of The Dirty Picture.
'Dirty Picture' In Court
Later, Ekta Kapoor moved the court claiming that the makers of the Kannada movie were using her brand - The Dirty Picture - for the biopic on Silk. Hence, the court should not permit the makers of the Kannada movie to use 'Dirty Picture' in the title.
Ekta Wins
The court gave the verdict in favour of Ekta Kapoor and asked the makers of the Kannada movie to drop 'Dirty Picture' from the title. Hence, they renamed the movie - Silk Sakkath Hot Maga.
Silk In Troubles Again
On the other end, Veena Malik was not welcomed by Sri Rama Sene, a hardcore Hindutva group. Her Pakistani identity made the organisation to raise objection over choosing her as the heroine of the Kannada movie.
Veena Malik's Pakistani Connection
Pramod Muthalik, the chief of Sri Rama Sene, held a protest in Mangalore claiming that the makers of the film should consider his threat seriously as the Hindu group won't let the movie hit the screens.
Rama Sene Fumes
He criticised Veena Malik in strong words by accusing her of having connections with terrorist groups. He claimed, "Many actresses from Pakistan were earlier in the news for having connections with terrorist organisation."
Why Veena?
He added, "The makers of Silk Sakkath Hot Maga have roped in Veena Malik without verifying Veena's background. I still do not understand why they signed the Pakistani actress when there is a good pool of talent in India and especially, in Karnataka."
Silk Sakkath Hot Maga Team Unaffected
However, the makers of Silk Sakkath Hot Maga did not worry about the threat and went ahead with their plans.
Shooting In Last Leg
Silk Sakkath Hot Maga is in the last stage of the shooting. Recently, a song on Veena Malik and her co-star Akshay was shot in Pattaya, Thailand.
Veena Malik Shoots
Despite getting injured, Veena Malik shot the song in Thailand. According to the actress, the song has come out well.

Before Uncharted, Tomb Raider and most other action adventure titles, there was Pitfall, the classic Atari 2600 title where players vaulted off crocodile heads and swung across dangerous lakes in search of treasure.
With the series' 30th anniversary around the corner, Activision revealed a new Pitfall title today for Apple iOS (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch).
The handheld version of Pitfall sports all-new, three-dimensional visuals and several gameplay changes such as the addition of vehicles and mine carts as well as branching paths allowing players to choose where hero Pitfall Harry goes next.
"You're going to find the snakes, scorpions, crocodiles and the swinging ropes," says Gordon Hall, chief creative officer at The Blast Furnace, Activision's new U.K.-based mobile studio. "But what we've done is given it a modern edge by making it into something that could never have been built in 1982."
Hall describes the reincarnated Pitfall as an "infinite runner," sending players on a quest for gold bars and other loot by speeding through a variety of environments.
Along with retro, high-definition graphics, the game will also feature updated controls similar to the hit mobile game Temple Run. Harry automatically runs through the world, as players perform timed swipes for jumps, slides and other moves.
"Pitfall, back in 1982, was a big game for me," says Hall. "I got into the industry two and a half years after that as a teenager. Pitfall was one of the reasons I got into the industry."
Pitfall is the first title from The Blast Furnace, an Activision studio dedicated to creating "AAA interactive experiences" for mobile devices, says a statement announcing the game. The publisher recruited developer Mark Washbrook and Hall, formerly of Grand Theft Auto studio Rockstar Games.
"We're really trying to take a thoughtful approach in how we invest in mobile," says Activision's Greg Canessa on the launch of The Blast Furnace. "We really feel like we've got a lot to add to the space."
Pitfall is available now on Apple's App Store for $0.99.

Hey guys I'm new here, the Bears in my opinion have to pick Derrick Johnson. He's easily the best playmaker in the draft. The guy is a turnover machine, and any offense can put up points when they're constantly in the opposing red-zone. The most ideal scenario would be to trade down in the second and possibly pick up a third. Hopefully Matt Jones is there, and we can pick up a back or maybe another wide out with whatever pick we get from the trade. Imagine Moose and Matt Jones in the red zone. Who's gonna stop that. Now, if DJ's not there take Mike Williams and hope burnett falls to us in the second.

I like DJ, but don't think that he is gonna walk into the NFL and just shutdown everyone. He is a great athlete and a playmaker but he has a lot of work to do to before he's a great player in the NFL. I can't see the Bears using the fourth overall on the Def side of the ball.
If Ronnie Brown drops to us at four - you take him, no questions. Maybe you keep him, maybe you trade him (or TJ)... but you still take him.
If Brown is gone and either Edwards or Williams is gone - then you take whichever WR is left - no questions.
If all three (Brown, Williams and Edwards) are gone, well... now you have a dilema. Someone is gonna want to trade up at this point - maybe St. Louis, I'm not sure. But you can get a middle 1st rounder and at least their 3rd rounder. You take the best WR or RB on the board when your picks come up. There are a million possibilities as to who we would get with those picks, but you are gonna get some very good players (and more of them) - that's for sure.

I know we didn't get an accurate read of our defense last year with all the injuries and the fact that our offense could not stay on the field, but how many times would teams just run up and down our defense. The friggin' Cowboys killed us. If we pick DJ we solidify our defense as one that should be feared. I hear everyone on this forum talking about getting a playmaker with the fourth overall pick. DJ is the biggest playmaker as he causes fumbles at an alarmingly awsome rate. Ronnie Brown although impressive will not be as much as an immediate impact player as DJ, and I want to win now

You know how scared Mike Vick would be when we played him if we drafted DJ because hed be facing three amazing Linebackers(Lance Briggs Brian Urlacher Derrick Johnson) Vick would actually try to throw it for once.

His senior year DJ casued a fumble every 14.4 tackles on average. Lovie loves the strip. Angelo is smoke screening so hard. That's y he released Terrel (so others would think we would draft a wide receiver) and that's y he is talking up the RB class. The Bears secretly covet DJ. If we can get others to trade up for what we don't really want, then more power to us. Don't be so scared that the Vikings get Mike Williams or Braylon. In my opinion we contained Randy Moss pretty well, and some games we shut him down, and neither of these receivers are as good as he is. DJ is a player that will make an immediate impact, and cause fear in the hearts of all that step foot into Soldier Field

Hey Where'sRaymont? -
The Bears secretly covet DJ
Did you read this somewhere or is that just your opinion? I ask because I haven't heard anything about the Bears coveting DJ anywhere. If it's true I would like to read up on it and see what's going on.
I think that DJ is just not what we need right now - I would love to see him in a Bears uniform, but we really have more pressing needs on draft day other than OLB. The offense was more than sad last year, and it needs a lot more help than our Defense does.
However... DJ would probably have our defense talked about in the same breath with the Ravens... which would be a nice thing! Even if it's only because of his potential.
Overall I'm very happy with the offseason moves they have made, and no matter who we end up taking I think it will be a good move - Angelo and Lovie seems to be on the same page and are working together - and that's a good thing.

In response to GRRlacher this is just who I think the Bears will pick, but supposedly the Bears loved DJ at the Combine. Angelo is notorious for smoke screening and being secretive of his moves. All of his actions this offseason would lead one to believe that the Bears are going to choose a Wr (releasing Terrel and personally attending Mike Williams' workout) or Rb (Angelo is on record as praising the Rb class espcially the top one's, but I find it hard to believe Angelo would tip his hand so early. Thus, I believe DJ is the biggest playmaker, and who the bears will select. Lovie is defensive minded coach, and DJ possesses all the traits that would make him an amazing linebacker in our cover 2 defense. Also, our offense is infinitely better with Grossman playing, the aquisition of Moose, and our strengthened offensive line. Remember, we were ranked about 15th in the league in offense the first three games of the season (the only accurate read of our personnel). Our offense is better with our moves and with DJ we have a top five defense.

Why all the secrecy on Angelo's part? I don't see what point it serves... so nobody has a true idea of who you are gonna pick - big deal. If you think that the three teams ahead of us could give a crap about who we like or need then you are mistaken. Of course they have an idea... but since we are below them it's really of no consequence to them who we take or who we want.
I like DJ... like I said - but we have bigger needs and passing up a possible big time back or WR to sure up a defense that is already pretty damn good just doesn't seem like the type of thing Angelo will do.

Our defense is pretty good, but teams ran up and down the field on us. Do you not remember the second Packer game? Our defense could use the help, or if not the Packers remember Julius Jones running all over our face on Thanksgiving. We are infinitely better on offense with Grossman and the offseason moves. I love running backs, but one can be had for a lesser price, and there are some very intriguing Wr talents later in the draft. Plus, I would hope Jerry Angelo would not let everyone know who he wants, so that teams could trade up and take them before us. Any GM worth his salt is performing some level of smoke screening as far as personnel choices.

The reason that teams ran all over us (IMO) is: because the defense would force a three and out and our offense couldn't sustain a drive, thus they would be on the field way too long. Plus we had way too many injuries to even gauge how well they could've been. It is evident that our D was above and beyond the O, but I don't think we need to get DJ to put the D over the top. I want to see Brown or MWilliams @ 4 and by chance both are gone DJ would be an excellent consolation prize for me.
Thanks so much Scar!!

Our defense was good not great. DJ could put us over the top on that side of the ball. I would have no problem with a selection of Mike Williams or Braylon Edwards, as I think both will be good or even great players. However, I know this is a controversial opinion, but I don't really care for Ronnie Brown. He did not even start for Auburn, and I know all of his great measureables, his great receiving ability, he's a team player blah blah blah. The fact is he did not start for his own team, and if he was better of the two, then he would have. DJ is a rare talent at the outside linebacker position, and could quite possibly be the best prospect in the draft.

I am in agreement with Raymont on Ronnie Brown. I keep hearing good things about him, but the fact is taht Caddilac started every year he played and got 1000 yards each year, I think, maybe i am wrong. So if the Bears had a choice between Mike Williams, DJ, Caddilac, or Ronnie Brown, and they take Brown, I will be upset. Not only are they taking a running back, which isnt our biggest need, they arent even taking the best back in the draft.

I would also be fine with DJ. He reminds me of Derrik Thomas of KC, not so much in playing style but he creates the same sort of havic on the field.
I can see a trade with Washington, I have a feeling one of these runing backs will drop. Any of the three would be good. I am also a little nervous about Brown, I just don't know if he has "it".
I have seen clips of H. Miller TE the guy is awesome. We could take him @ #9.
I also like the idea of trading down in the 2nd.
I think my favorite trade is with Philly.
We could take their #31 #35 and one of their #3's.
#31 Reggie Brown WR UGA
#35 Vernand Morecy OK ST or M Barber Minn or JJ Arrington U Cal
#38 Alex Smith TE Stanford
#77 Donte Nicholson SS OK
#100 Boomer Grigsby LB ISU
#131 Dan Buenning OG Wisconsin
#166 Johnathan Nichols K Mississippi

If u guys haven't go to the draft section of this forum and watch the DJ highlight reel. Now, I know you can make a highlight reel out of anyone (except John Quinn), but u can just see this guy is a baller. You cannot coach that speed or how he just seems to strip everyone. DJ will be a day 1 starter unlike a running back, and would help us much more than a number 2 wide receiver. My point is DJ is the best propect to come out of his position in years, and is just about the most sure thing in this draft. Roddy White might fall to us in the second. If not trade down a few spots pick up Matt Jones (who has more upside than just about anyone in the draft) and hopefully pick up a third.

Outdoor advertising company
Shares in oOh!media were placed in a trading halt yesterday ahead of an announcement about the raising.
Chief executive B
It was not clear yesterday how many new shares would be issued or if oOh!media's two largest shareholders – London-based marketing services giant WPP Group, which has a 31.2 per cent stake, and
WPP, which is the largest marketing services company in the world, wanted to expand oOh!media. One source said it was "very interested" in buying Eye Corp if Ten decided to sell it.
Two of Ten's new shareholders,
Mr Packer and Mr Murdoch each own 8.94 per cent of Ten and will join its board in mid-December. Iron-ore billionaire Gina Rinehart, who bought 10 per cent of the company earlier this month, will also join the board about the same time.
Ten was understood to have made an informal approach to oOh!media about buying Eye Corp last year, before Ten conducted a $138 million capital raising.
"It was an unofficial approach but the price Ten wanted for Eye Corp was too high," one source said. "It was asking twice what oOh!media's executives thought it was worth."
Some Ten directors were believed to still be keen for the company to sell Eye Corp, which lifted its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation by 48.1 per cent to $15 million during the 12 months to August 31.
Media analysts estimated Eye Corp could fetch up to $130 million.
The most logical buyers of Eye Corp were oOh!media and the Australian division of French company JCDecaux, both of which have a 15 per cent share of the local outdoor ad market.
Eye Corp has a 17 per cent share and ranks second behind APN News & Media's APN Outdoor division, which has a 35 per cent share. "It could make sense for oOh!media and JCDecaux to get together to buy Eye Corp," one media executive said.
Last month Mr Cook said oOh!media's revenue had increased 32 per cent in the first nine months of 2010, compared with the outdoor ad market's 20 per cent growth rate.
He predicted it would finish this year with EBITDA of $20 million to $21 million, up from $14.9 million in 2009, and revenue of between $108 million and $110 million, up from $86 million.
The company was built from the acquisition of 13 companies between 2002 and 2008, but had not bought any businesses for more than two years. "There aren't many acquisition opportunities left in the outdoor ad market, apart from Eye Corp," one source said.
"WPP and Macquarie have deep pockets, and WPP is certainly thinking about expanding oOh!media."
Outdoor advertising was one of the most robust parts of the $12 billion media advertising market this year, growing 18.3 per cent to $473 million according to Steve Allen, managing director of media agency Fusion Strategy. In comparison, total media ad spending rose 12.4 per cent.
Mr Allen predicted the outdoor ad category would grow 9.9 per cent in 2011, compared with a 7.7 per cent increase in the total media ad market.

HARKER HEIGHTS — In the end, young love won out.
As Harker Heights' fastest couple, senior sprinters Aliayah McDonald and Brandon Hill were torn about where they'd go to college. Making matters more difficult was their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.
"It was a lot of talking," Hill said.
"He got mad at me," McDonald said.
"I was just asking her how serious our relationship was, things like that, and then I'd ask, 'So what school are you going to go to?' — I'd try to slip it in like that every once in a while," Hill added.
But once McDonald, a four-year starter and multi-event record holder at Heights, settled on Arkansas over Southern Methodist, Hill's decision became easier.
"I was going to be happy with Baylor or Arkansas, I told her that and that's why I wanted her to make her decision first," Hill said. "Truthfully, I'm kind of glad she decided on Arkansas, because I believe I'll be happier at Arkansas than I would be at Baylor."
Although not really a package deal, the Heights sprinting duo signed their National Letters of Intents to run track at the University of Arkansas during a joint ceremony Friday inside the Harker Heights gymnasium.
"I'm not just walking in blindly by myself, I have him right there beside me — as friends or in a relationship, it doesn't matter," McDonald said.
"This was like a huge plus," Hill said.
McDonald originally wanted to take their relationship completely out of the picture and make the decision on her own, without any outside influence.
"I made my decision first and I didn't want my decision to affect his decision, so I didn't want to tell him where I was really leaning to," she said. "He played a part in it, but it's really where I wanted to go."
Hill was just happy to have the decision over with.
"It was very frustrating and stressful," Hill said. "The recruiting process is one of the most stressful things I've ever been through. I can even say it's more stressful than grades sometimes."
Now, with papers signed, both can get back to focusing on the important things — like times and gold medals.
"It feels good. I know the college I'm going to, I'm set. I'm performing for me know, I'm not performing for anybody else," Hill said. "It's relaxing."
McDonald originally committed to SMU on Dec. 9 over a partial scholarship opportunity at Baylor, but de-committed and settled on Arkansas early last week after taking an official visit.
"It's almost like a perfect school, and that's what I saw, and I felt like I couldn't turn that down," McDonald said.
Hill really only had two options — the home-state Bears and the Razorbacks, currently ranked No. 1 in the country.
"Arkansas is No. 1 for a reason," he said.
The Arkansas men are currently the top-ranked team in the NCAA indoor track and field standings, sitting 100 points ahead of second-place Florida. The Southeastern Conference holds the top three spots in the rankings with Texas A&M sitting at No. 3.
"It feels good, I feel like a super-athlete," Hill joked of joining the SEC.
"It's nice knowing that pretty much every track meet there's going to be competition there for me, and that's just going to help me get better as I go throughout the season."
The Razorback women are ranked No. 4 and their home, the Randal Tyson Track, will play host to the 2013 indoor championship March 8-9. Arkansas is also the top-ranked women's program in the SEC, which features four of the nation's top seven programs.
And while she didn't really want their relationship to factor in, McDonald couldn't be happier with the end result.
"It usually doesn't happen like this, but I'm glad it did," McDonald said.

What do we want from our favorite team? Are we hoping for consistent, repeatable performances that give us comfort in knowing how our squad will do year to year? Or do we want the excitement of wild fluctuations in the standings—high highs and low lows?
I suppose that depends greatly on the particular team and what win total it hovers around. If you're a Yankees fan, consistency is great, because that typically means a big win total and a playoff berth. If you're one of the few remaining Marlins fans, you have to take the good (1997, 2003) when you can get it, because the bad can be awful.
To get a sense of which teams provide reliable winning percentages and which ones keep us on our toes all the time, I looked at each team's seasonal winning percentage (WIN%) from 1998 through 2013. I started with the '98 season because that's when the last expansion took place, so all 30 teams can be compared on even ground.
The next step was to calculate the WIN% change from one year to the next for all 16 seasons (that's 15 changes) under study. From there, I looked at the average, minimum and maximum WIN% changes for each team. With all these data collected, it's time to dig in and see what we can learn.
Ave ⌂ Min ⌂ Max ⌂ ⌂ range Min WIN% Max WIN% WIN% range Baltimore Orioles 0.033 0.004 0.148 0.144 0.391 0.574 0.183 Pittsburgh Pirates 0.039 0.000 0.092 0.092 0.352 0.580 0.228 Texas Rangers 0.039 0.006 0.148 0.142 0.438 0.593 0.155 Philadelphia Phillies 0.040 0.000 0.130 0.130 0.401 0.630 0.229 Toronto Blue Jays 0.040 0.006 0.115 0.109 0.416 0.543 0.127 New York Yankees 0.040 0.000 0.099 0.099 0.525 0.704 0.179 Atlanta Braves 0.042 0.008 0.088 0.080 0.444 0.654 0.210 Oakland A's 0.042 0.003 0.123 0.120 0.457 0.636 0.179 Miami Marlins 0.043 0.000 0.096 0.096 0.333 0.562 0.229 Boston Red Sox 0.045 0.000 0.173 0.173 0.426 0.605 0.179 New York Mets 0.046 0.000 0.117 0.117 0.410 0.599 0.189 Tampa Bay Rays 0.047 0.003 0.192 0.189 0.342 0.599 0.257 San Francisco Giants 0.048 0.006 0.111 0.105 0.438 0.621 0.183 Milwaukee Brewers 0.050 0.003 0.118 0.115 0.346 0.593 0.247 Los Angeles Dodgers 0.050 0.000 0.136 0.136 0.438 0.586 0.148 St. Louis Cardinals 0.052 0.012 0.123 0.111 0.466 0.648 0.182 Colorado Rockies 0.052 0.000 0.111 0.111 0.395 0.568 0.173 Washington Nationals 0.052 0.000 0.108 0.108 0.364 0.605 0.241 Kansas City Royals 0.055 0.006 0.154 0.148 0.346 0.531 0.185 Minnesota Twins 0.055 0.000 0.191 0.191 0.389 0.593 0.204 Houston Astros 0.058 0.006 0.155 0.149 0.315 0.630 0.315 Cincinnati Reds 0.062 0.013 0.118 0.105 0.407 0.599 0.192 Los Angeles Angels 0.064 0.018 0.148 0.130 0.432 0.617 0.185 San Diego Padres 0.064 0.000 0.157 0.157 0.389 0.605 0.216 Chicago White Sox 0.066 0.012 0.136 0.124 0.389 0.611 0.222 Detroit Tigers 0.069 0.006 0.179 0.173 0.265 0.586 0.321 Cleveland Indians 0.074 0.006 0.148 0.142 0.401 0.599 0.198 Chicago Cubs 0.077 0.006 0.142 0.136 0.377 0.602 0.225 Seattle Mariners 0.087 0.000 0.185 0.185 0.377 0.716 0.339 Arizona Diamondbacks 0.090 0.000 0.216 0.216 0.315 0.617 0.302
The AL Least
The American League East is boring. That's not a major shock, but it's still surprising to see all five of this division's teams among the top 10 least-variable squads. It's almost like the Yankees are always good, the Red Sox nearly the same, the Orioles usually bad, the Blue Jays typically mediocre, and the Rays made a one-time change from awful to awesome with little in between. It's almost exactly like that…
Seriously, Baltimore is amazingly monotonous. The Orioles' average WIN% change of 0.033 is 0.006 lower than the second-place Pirates; that same gap separates Pittsburgh from 10th-place Boston.
And if not for the Orioles' big surge from 2011 to 2012, when their record reversed from 69-93 to 93-69, their average WIN% change would have been 0.025, meaning Baltimore could be counted on to average a mere four-win change from season to season. And since that win total usually has landed on the wrong side of .500, it's obviously been a tough decade and a half in Charm City.
Go big or go home
The western part of the county is home to the biggest swingers in the land—and not just because single-season strikeout king Mark Reynolds used to play for Arizona, though it's actually the Diamondbacks' roller coaster record changes that inspired this column.
As a newborn franchise in 1998, the D-backs performed as a first-year team always does—they stunk, losing 97 games. However, a significant infusion of talent the following winter—most notably Randy Johnson—and a bench that hit particularly well that year led to a 100-win season, which was a record for the quickest ascension ever to a triple-digit victory total and a playoff berth.
That 35-win increase was following by a 15-win drop, and the team has seen other season-to-season swings of 26, 29 and 33 victories (and losses, of course). Arizona might have been diagnosed with multiple-personality disorder were it not for the last two seasons. In both 2012 and 2013, the Diamondbacks have been as mundane as can be, finishing both campaigns with identical 81-81 records.
The next-biggest yo-yo franchise has been Seattle. However, much of the Mariners' variation comes from climbing up—and then falling down—one huge hill. From a 76-85 record in '98, the M's surged to 116 wins three years later. However, another three-season span saw their record suffer a 53-game drop to 63-99.
There was one other big fluctuation for Seattle. In 2008, the team won 61 games, but the '09 squad earned 85 victories. Alas, the 2010 Mariners again won only 61 contests. That surge wasn't climbing a mountain, it was stepping onto and balancing on a razor blade and them slipping and falling on it.
Repetitive redundancy
Nearly half of all teams (13 of 30) have had the same record in back-to-back seasons at some point—including both Arizona and Seattle—though no team has been able to repeat the feat more than once. The squad that came closest to doing so was the Nationals/Expos. In both 2002 and '03, Montreal went 83-79, and in both 2008 and '09, Washington won 59 games.
The wrinkle is that the '08 squad had a rainout that led to the Nats losing "only" 102 games, while the '09 team played its full 162-game slate and dropped 103. The upside is that, by finishing with the worst record in baseball those two seasons, Washington was able to draft Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper.
Biggest single-season shifts
Arizona's 35-game jump is the largest victory shift of any team since 1998. The D-backs also are second with their 33-game dip from '03 to 04. However, Seattle's 30-game drop from '03 to '04 isn't next on the list.
Tampa Bay's 31-game surge in 2008 is tied with Minnesota's 31-game cliff dive from 2010 to 2011 as the third-largest WIN% swing since the last expansion. Detroit is the fifth-most volatile franchise, with its 29-game climb in 2004 from 2003's depths of ignominy, moving the team from historically putrid to merely bad.
That 2003-04 offseason sure led to some major shakeups in the standings, accounting for three of the above-mentioned changes.
Steady as she goes
Some teams prefer to stay the course, year after monotonous year. Looking at the largest year-to-year WIN% changes for each team, Atlanta comes in at the back of the pack with nothing more than a 14-game swing ('08 to '09) from one season to the next.
There also was a 13.5-game swing from 2001 to 2002—owing to a tie in the latter season—and a 12-game drop from 2007 to '08. Overall, this has been good new for Braves fans, since their team has hit the playoffs 11 of the past 16 seasons.
Next on this list of smallest largest changes (?!?!?) are the Pirates (UGH!), Yankees (YAY!), and Marlins (!@#$%^&*).
Highest of highs and lowest of lows
This one is as expected, but it's closer than you might think. The team that has had the greatest variation in WIN% over the course of the last 16 seasons is Seattle, which has won between 61 and 116 games, a 55-game swing. And while it took seven seasons to drop to 61 victories, it took only three years to plummet to a measly 63 wins.
Close behind is Detroit, with a 52-game jump from 43 to 95 wins, which also took only three seasons to accomplish. It's probably more impressive to add 52 wins in such a short time period than it is to misplace that many.
Third on this list is Houston, which has won as many as 102 games (way back in 1998) and as few as half that total, finishing 51-111 this past year. The last three seasons have seen 50-something wins for the Astros, a streak the team and it fans doubtlessly want to see end.
The only other team to have WIN% marks varying by more than 0.300 is Arizona, and its peaks and valleys already have been chronicled.
The big takeaway
I'm not sure there is one. Lots of things can happen over 16 seasons. All 30 teams have ebbed and flowed up and down the competitive cycle, some on small ripples, others on giant waves. I imagine someone could examine—and possibly has—the correlation between these results and payroll, market size, and even per capita peanut butter consumption. (Mine is zero, BTW. Peanut butter … yuck!)
There may be more meaning that can be teased out of these numbers. If you extract additional insights, be sure to share them in the comments below.

Tunisia to Borrow $500 Million with U.S. Loan Guarantee
Tunisia to Borrow $500 Million with U.S. Loan Guarantee
The United States will provide a sovereign loan guarantee to Tunisia, enabling the Tunisian government to raise $500 million from international capital markets at favorable rates.
The guarantee improves Tunisia's ability to implement economic reforms and lay the groundwork for broad-based economic growth, the U.S. Treasury Department said in an April 4 press release.
"We are encouraged by the progress the Tunisian government is making with regard to its political transition, and with the work underway to implement the tough but critical economic reforms that will lay the groundwork for increased investment and job creation," Lew said. "Economic stability is key to political stability. This loan guarantee will complement the efforts of the Tunisian government to provide economic opportunities for the people of Tunisia, and will be important to the region. We are pleased to be partners in this effort."
This is the United States' second sovereign loan guarantee for Tunisia. It backed a loan of $485 million in 2012.

Millions of American teenagers graduate from high school every year without a basic understanding of how to manage their money. As they venture out from under their parents' protection for the first time, what awaits these young adults is an increasingly complex society that asks that they make immediate and sometimes irreversible financial decisions-decisions that will likely impact their livelihoods for years to come. Unprepared by teachers or parents to make those decisions, the consequences can be quite severe. Debilitating debt, clumsy money management, poor retirement planning and even bankruptcy-this is what the financial future holds for many American teenagers because they were never given proper, if any, instruction in the basics of personal finance.
How prevalent is personal-financial illiteracy among America's young people? The answer is startling. In 1997, I designed a personal-finance exam that was administered to more than 1,500 high school seniors nationwide. Students were asked basic personal-finance questions regarding money management, saving and investing, and spending and credit. Overall, students answered just 57.3 percent of the 31 multiple-choice questions correctly. More shocking is the fact that only 10.2 percent of the students scored a "C" or better on the exam. Further analysis revealed that bankruptcy rates were the highest in states where students performed the poorest on the exam, suggesting that financial illiteracy may be a factor in a nationwide increase in personal bankruptcy.
These results indicate that America's teenagers are heading down a path toward financial difficulty, at the very least. Just think about the numerous financial decisions that confront them after high school: Credit card companies are constantly hawking instant credit to students who barely understand the ramifications of interest rates. Young adults entering the workforce are asked to make choices on pension plans without even a rudimentary understanding of the stock market and investing. Car dealerships promote a variety of come-ons aimed at getting first-time buyers behind the wheel of a new car. And the high cost of higher education has forced many students to go into debt for tens of thousands of dollars even before they cash their first paychecks.
A generation ago, most employers offered defined-benefit pension plans backed up by the absolute certainty of Social Security. You had to seek out a credit card, and there were only two ways to legally acquire a car-cash, or a three-year installment loan. Investment choices were far less bewildering. Those relatively simple days are behind us now, replaced by hourly reports on the rise and fall of the stock market, online banking, electronic commerce and vanity credit cards.
What can be done? Unfortunately, it's not enough to simply provide teenagers with "hands-on" experience in money management. As the results of my exam showed, students with hands-on experience with credit cards and/or checkbooks, for instance, were no more knowledgeable about personal finance than were their inexperienced peers. What is needed is for personal finance to become a mandatory life skill taught in all U.S. high schools, with an emphasis on taxes, investing, saving and spending. Currently, just seven states-Illinois, Florida, Kansas, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia-require such a course in their high schools.
Some educators may think that students should learn about personal finance at home, but parents aren't always the best teachers (even if their children would listen to them). A high school classroom seems like the ideal setting for a personal-finance course. After all, we teach sex education, computer skills, hygiene and home economics in high school, so why not personal finance? A recent Stanford University study showed that people from states that require a personal-finance course save more money in their lifetimes than people from other states.
Given the results of this and other studies, it may seem logical that high schools would readily begin to incorporate personal finance within their curriculums. But because educational standards are set by each individual state, a grassroots movement of parents, teachers and business leaders is needed to press legislators into listing personal finance among their state's educational standards. These standards define what a high school senior should be expected to know upon graduation.
One not-for-profit group, the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy-the organization for which I designed the personal-finance exam-is currently assisting in the development of state-level coalitions to spur legislative action in this critical area. Jump$tart's goal is that, by the year 2007, every student will have the skills to be financially competent upon graduation from high school.
For this goal to become a reality, we must realize that in a society where one's happiness is so closely tied to one's financial well being, sending teenagers out into the world without first giving them a sound understanding of personal finance is a bit like pushing them out of an airplane without a parachute.
Our children deserve better.

NFL teams have obviously taken notice that Kentucky outside linebacker Wesley Woodyard has a knack for putting ball-carriers on the ground.
The 6-foot-1 tackling machine, who posted over 100 tackles in each of the last three seasons and led the SEC in 2007 with 139 tackles in 2007, played at roughly 217 pounds during his senior year, but added ten pounds to his frame in time for the NFL Scouting Combine back in February. He wanted to show coaches and GMs that he could add the size he'd need for the pro game without losing much of the speed that helped him cover so much ground so quickly at Kentucky.
And Woodyard did exactly that by running a 4.51-second 40-time in Indianapolis — second best among all linebackers.
"I wanted to run a little faster, because last year my fastest time was a 4.41," Woodyard told Scout.com during an exclusive interview. "But I knew that with a little bit more weight my time would drop a little bit, so overall I was happy with my time.
For players like Woodyard, who obviously showed their speed and athleticism so well during their college career, it could be frustrating to have to go through the timed events and measurements of the Combine, pro days and personal workouts. But he certainly doesn't seem to mind.
"For me, the film does a lot, but this is a big part of me going to the next level," he said. "I was welcoming all challenges and I went to Indianapolis to compete with guys that were ranked higher than me in the draft this year.

"Every chance I get to show people that I'm trying to be the best linebacker I can be, I'm willing to do it. Getting the chance to go up there and compete against the best linebackers, I think helped my chances out."
But one thing that not all of the athletes at the Combine had to deal with was the incredible demand for Woodyard in the evenings when teams would hold formal 15-minute interviews with selected players that they wanted to meet and get to know better. The poised young man met with 25 of the league's 32 teams before leaving Indianapolis. And the questions covered everything from football schemes to his family life and his thoughts on a variety of topics.
"I actually got asked a weird question that one team asked me, which was, if I had to leave a teammate behind, which one would it be," Woodyard said. "My answer was that I wouldn't leave any of my teammates behind, I'd rather leave myself behind. The reason for me saying that is because I felt if anything was wrong on the defense it was my fault. I wouldn't leave any of my teammates behind."
Woodyard had the rare treat of learning from one of the best linebackers to ever play the position professionally, Mike Singletary, for a week while he practiced in Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl under the direction of the 49ers coaching staff. Woodyard said he was simply in awe of the former Bears linebacker and Hall of Famer.
"He told me that I had a great attitude about football and to make sure I didn't lose it. He said he was really happy with the way I played football and that if I picked up some weight I'd be an excellent linebacker in the NFL one day," Woodyard said.
That attitude that Singletary noticed includes a competitive streak that fuels the linebacker to excel at his position.

"Everybody can say that they're a competitor, but me, I hate losing and I'm going to do whatever it takes to make sure I win and can be the best person that I am at my position," he explained. "And I leave it all on the football field."
The Wildcat's top linebacker met with the Dolphins, Patriots and Bengals at the Senior Bowl. And his formal interviews at the Combine included the Bills, Jets, Cowboys, Bengals, Browns, Texans, Colts, Jaguars, Titans, Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders, Giants, Steelers, Bears, Lions, Packers, Vikings, Falcons, Panthers, Buccaneers, Cardinals, Rams, 49ers and Seahawks.
With that much interest in the personable and talented player, don't be surprised to see him be picked higher than expected in the draft because teams know that he's on the radar of so many other clubs and won't be able to afford to wait too long to pluck him off the draft board.
With his speed and size, Woodyard would readily be a good fit for a Cover 2 or Tampa 2 defensive scheme, and he said that the Buccaneers were one of the teams that confirmed that line of thought, saying they liked the way he can move in pass coverage as well. But until the end of April, he'll just have to wait and see which of the many teams that have been showing interest in him puts his name on a card and sends it up to the league's commissioner.
"Even though I get knocked for my size, for the true fans that watch me play, everybody knows that my heart is just as big as anybody else out there on the football field," Woodyard said. "I'm just taking everything in stride and am thankful for the support that the fans have for me, with everybody believing in me."

French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici has underlined the need to make significant improvements to the European Commission's financial transactions tax (FTT) proposal, to ensure that the levy does not harm the future financing of the French economy or adversely affect the Paris financial center when implemented.
In a keynote address at an international gathering in Paris Europlace, Moscovici made clear France's firm commitment to a financial transactions tax at European level, and lamented the current lack of support for the levy across all 28 EU Member States.
In order to achieve the objective of an EU FTT, and indeed to further widen application of the tax, certain "obstacles," arising from technical difficulties in the European Commission's proposal, must first be addressed and removed, Moscovici maintained, alluding to the fact that European Tax Commissioner Algirdas Šemeta has conceded that some elements require fine-tuning.
Highlighting France's commitment to ensuring that the FTT is an "ambitious tax," Moscovici recommended that the scope of the tax be widened to include currency transactions. He also advocated that the "issuance" principle be applied to the tax, to ensure that transactions are taxed in the place where the financial product is issued. This is in contrast to the European Commission's proposal, which favors application of the "residence" principle, according to which taxes are imposed where parties to the transaction are established.
Defending his country's stance, Moscovici explained that applying the residence principle will merely encourage the relocation of financial institutions – on a massive scale – outside of the zone of the 11 participating EU Member States, as occurred in Sweden in the 1990s, with disastrous consequences.
Furthermore, Moscovici recommended that the method of taxing derivative products be adjusted to better take into account "the specificities of each product." The method currently proposed by the European Commission involves the levying of a single rate of tax of 0.01 percent, which is much too uniform and will merely result in over and under taxation, Moscovici said, suggesting that the provision be replaced with a more detailed tax scale.
Finally, Moscovici stressed that "repo" transactions, which play a central role in liquidity balance between commercial banks, should not fall within the scope of the FTT, warning that to include such transactions will simply pose a major risk to the functioning of the credit market, as the European Central Bank has indicated.
Algirdas Šemeta recently signaled that the Commission is prepared to consider suggestions for a lower rate, after Members of the European Parliament recommended a phased introduction plan. A resolution prepared by lawmakers retained the recommended 0.1 percent tax on stocks and bonds, and 0.01 on derivatives trades, but only as an eventual goal rate. It instead suggested that trades in sovereign bonds should be taxed at just 0.05 percent, trades of pension funds at 0.05 percent for stocks and bonds, and at 0.005 percent for derivatives, until January 1, 2017. After that, the full rate could kick in.
Recent updates to the Commission's FTT webpage also hinted that a six-month postponement of the intended January, 2014 start date could be on the cards. Under a section titled "The way ahead," the Commission stated: "Once agreed upon at European level, participating Member States will have to transpose the [Commission's] Directive into national legislation. If agreement is found before the end of 2013, and there is a speedy transposition into national law by the participating Member States, this common framework for an FTT could still enter into force towards the middle of 2014."

The acidity of the tone was so pronounced that Mrs. Carradyne, seated near and busy at her netting, lifted her head in surprise.
The lime-water is for the purpose of correcting the acidity of the milk.
From that time, the moisture must be regulated in proportion to the acidity.

Put in sugar to your taste; it is impossible to make a precise rule, because apples vary so much in acidity.
This will remove the acidity, and improve the bread in lightness.
When the acidity is tempered with age, the coffee can be drunk "straight" which can not be done with many other growths.

FOUR WORKS, FOUR YEARS, EIGHT WEEKS: Julian Schnabel Returns to the East Village
A larger than life figure, Julian Schnabel personifies - and slyly critiques - what it is to be a successful contemporary artist. He has achieved art world stature and mainstream celebrity through his art, his films, his commentary, and his well-documented lifestyle. Nevertheless, even cognoscenti are often unable to immediately conjure mental images that speak to the full scope and depth of Schnabel's work, with the exception perhaps of his figurative paintings incorporating broken crockery. While this myopia could be attributed in part to the artist's refusal to adhere to a single signature style throughout his four decade-long practice, public recognition of Schabel's numerous contributions to painting also have been obfuscated by his stardom.
With this contradiction in mind, Oko will present Julian Schnabel 1978-81, a pointed study of Schnabel's early work via a rotating exhibition of four emblematic paintings made in a period of explosive change for both the artist and the New York City art scene. Selected by independent curator Alison Gingeras, the four paintings will be shown sequentially beginning February 5, 2013. Each work will be presented individually in Oko's space for a two-week period in order to spotlight the artist's mastery and the development of his ideas and techniques in a seminal moment. The exhibition sheds light on the fearless experimentation of Schnabel's early career and suggests the profound influence he has had and continues to exert upon other artists.
While the four paintings in Julian Schnabel 1978 - 1981 have been widely reproduced in books and included in Schnabel's museum exhibitions outside the United States, they have been exhibited only rarely in New York City. Each one represents a distinct body of work or material gesture that Schnabel initiated during a time of breakthrough in his practice. Exuberant experimentation is a common denominator between the modeled wax surfaces of the veiled self-portrait "St. Sebastian" (1979); Schnabel's very first abstracted mosaic of ceramic shards and sculptural picture planes in "The Patient and The Doctors" (1978); the use of a soiled drop cloth as a pictorial ground in "The Mutant King" (1981); and the layering of fabric in the monochromatic "Blue Abstract Painting on Velvet" (1980).

MSNBC " Morning Joe" - Transcript
MR. SCARBOROUGH: Senator, when you said that Republicans weren't used to smart people being around them, were you talking specifically about the Republicans that voted for me in primary elections?
SEN. BIDEN: Oh, Joe --
MR. SCARBOROUGH: I kind of took it as a personal attack.
MS. BRZEZINSKI: Don't make him say that.
SEN. BIDEN: Joe, anybody who voted for you is smart as can be. I was obviously making -- poking a little fun here, but you know the truth of the matter is that it's amazing how the very people, Joe, who, in fact, were the ones that John McCain deplored in his 2000 primary race in South Carolina, the very race where I called him up when they attacked his character, I said, John, where do you want me? I'll publicly testify for you. These very people, some of them John has now hired and they're running his attack ads on television against Barack, misrepresenting Barack. And independent news organizations are saying it; not Joe Biden and the point I was responding to is the misrepresentation that's going on about Barack Obama.
MR. SCARBOROUGH: I think it's safe to say there are a lot of McCain people that know the man that, no, he's not really comfortable with what's going on right now.
Explain to America the difference between running for U.S. senator and running for Vice President of the United States. You've said a couple of things self-deprecating to get the audience sort of to laugh. You talked about Hillary Clinton being a better vice presidential nominee than yourself. You talked about Sarah Palin being --
MS. BRZEZINSKI: Good looking.
MR. SCARBOROUGH: Good looking, but it was like, hey, compared to me, she's good looking. That's what you can do in a race and get everybody laughing at you, but on this stage it gets cut up and turned around, doesn't it?
SEN. BIDEN: Well, look, it does, but it was even worse than that. A woman my age yelled at me and said you're good looking, senator, and I said, no, I said Sarah Palin is good looking and that was the context. But it doesn't matter. The point you make is everything you say gets sliced and diced and now, look, that's part of the game and, hopefully, I don't say too many things that, in fact, are able to be taken out of context, although Joe I'm fully capable of it.
MR. SCARBOROUGH: Oh, come on, senator.
MS. BRZEZINSKI: Now, senator, the Republicans want you to release your earmark list. Are you going to do that?
SEN. BIDEN: Yeah, I have released the earmark. They said I love this earmark thing, don't you? Look, John is going to balance the $400 billion deficit this administration is going to leave the next president for one year and he's going to do it by earmarks. Take every single solitary earmark out; it's $18 billion of real money, but it doesn't balance the budget. At the same time, John thinks that he's going to add $300 billion a year in tax cuts on top of the tax here that exists for corporations and people making over $250,000 a year and the middle class, once again, in the neighborhoods we grew up in, Joe, the middle class is going to stay there holding the stick, man.
I mean -- I don't get this. I don't understand why, you know, John is a real Navy man and he's real. We ought to stand by the old rule, man. If you're the captain of a ship and it goes up on the rocks, you're responsible. Who has been in charge the last eight years, man? Who has been in charge with this policy?
MR. SCARBOROUGH: And that ship is up on the rocks.
MS. BRZEZINSKI: Yeah.
SEN. BIDEN: It is on the rocks right now.
MS. BRZEZINSKI: Definitely on the rocks. Senator, I'm curious, how would you characterize your counterpart, your opponent, Sarah Palin? And are you doing anything different to prepare for the debates?
SEN. BIDEN: I wouldn't characterize her, number one, and I won't characterize her.
MS. BRZEZINSKI: You know better.
MR. SCARBOROUGH: Smart move.
(Cross talk.)
MS. BRZEZINSKI: Very good. That was my Charlie Gibson trick question.
SEN. BIDEN: Well, I'm slow, I'm slow. But even I get it once in a while. But look, the truth of the matter is I honest to goodness don't know Sarah Palin. I don't know what her record is. I hear all these things, some of which apparently panned out to be true and some not true. I don't know what -- I assume her positions are the same as John McCain's. I assume that on the major issues that affect whether or not people are going to be able to keep their job, keep their home and be able to send their kid to college, I assume that all those things that people talk about the American dream are views that she has are the same as John, and until it's shown otherwise, I will go in that debate and I'll debate the McCain-Palin policies and how they're going to help us or not and the Obama-Biden policies.
Mika, I have shared your view. I think family should be flat off record. You've never heard once in my career ever me attack anyone based on anything that --
MR. SCARBOROUGH: Exactly.
SEN. BIDEN: Look, you know, by the way, every one of us and every one of our families, there is something out there that you wouldn't want posted in the public view. That is irrelevant to whether or not you can lead. But what is relevant is what are they going to do about the fact that this economy is in trouble? And you know John, God love him, keeps talking about the American worker. Well, the American worker -- I have no doubt about the American worker. What I have a doubt about is what the government has done to make it difficult for the American worker.
MR. SCARBOROUGH: And Murphy, do you want to say hi to --
MR. MURPHY: Hi, senator, Mike Murphy on the gang --
SEN. BIDEN: Mike Murphy, how are you? Here we go.
MR. MURPHY: I got to ask you a politician question. No, no, no, it's not too bad.
MS. BRZEZINSKI: We're in trouble.
MR. MURPHY: We had fun this morning with the flat rock tape and I felt for you because you were on stage and they brought out the local slugger there and did the bucket of fluff line and I could see you walking away and turning your back -- who was that? Who was the local there?
MS. BRZEZINSKI: What the heck?
MR. MURPHY: That was your comment and I won't hold you accountable for that one.
SEN. BIDEN: No. No. It was a woman who lost her job and I met her for the first time and she feels very passionate about the state of affairs out there.
MR. SCARBOROUGH: I bet she does. I'm sure it's very personal to her and kudos to you. Here he goes, Senator Biden turning his back and walking out of the camera. That was a good move.
All right. Senator Biden, we love you. Thanks so much for being with us.
SEN. BIDEN: Well, thanks for having me. Thanks for having me.
MR. SCARBOROUGH: And good luck out there.
SEN. BIDEN: Thanks an awful lot, Joe.

My husband Bill remembers being grabbed by his mother as a young child. He was headed for a water fountain marked "Colored." He thought it would be interesting to see rainbow water. It never occurred to him that color had anything to do with someone's race. She pointed him towards the fountain marked "White." That was even more confusing. Who ever heard of white water?
That custom and many like it no longer dominate the social landscape of the South. Their eradication is largely due to the life of the man we honored with a national holiday last week.
For the first time in my 26 years in Henderson County, I attended the community event honoring Martin Luther King Jr. -- this despite the fact that I lived through the desegregation of the public schools in South Carolina and realize the importance of the occasion.
Most of us do not take advantage of opportunities to step out of the box, and broaden our horizons by meeting people of different races and backgrounds. But the longer I live, the more I see the need for greater understanding among the people of our diverse world. If you have never attended the MLK Unity Breakfast, it is an event worth your time, and the proceeds benefit a local scholarship fund.
King was assassinated when I was 16 years old, and I could not fathom the hatred that brought him down. I remember getting into emotionally charged arguments with friends before this tragic event took place. There was a lot of misunderstanding about his mission. For many of my generation, his murder was another blow to the end of innocence.
Baby boomers may remember other customs from childhood that we no longer see in our society. When I went to the doctor as a junior high student, white folks went in one waiting room, black people in another. It was OK for children to call a black woman by her first name, but considered extremely rude if they did not use "Mrs." when addressing a white woman.
What most of us do not remember are the days of "no service" signs in restaurant windows; or when hate groups were not just embarrassments that occasionally showed up at parades but were very active organizations that terrorized and hurt innocent people. Nor do we recall firsthand the days when voter registration workers could make it impossible for black people to vote. Today's generation may not realize the sacrifices that Martin Luther King Jr. and others made to outlaw these social inequities.
If we think that racism was never a real problem in this country, revisit the story of Emmett Till. Emmett was a 14-year-old Chicago boy visiting relatives in Mississippi in 1953. He was dragged from the relatives' home and viciously murdered by two white men. His crime was making a comment a female white storekeeper found inappropriate. After a sham of a trial, where the men were acquitted despite eyewitnesses to the kidnapping, they sold their story to a national magazine confessing to beating the boy, shooting and burning his clothes and shoes. You can read more about this at pbs.org.
We do not ever want to go back to days like those.
Just who was this eloquent leader, Martin Luther King Jr.? He was the son of a Baptist minister and took his faith to heart. He was also an incredibly bright young man who skipped both the ninth and the 12th grades. At the ripe age of 15, he entered Morehouse College.
In addition to his degree from Morehouse, he attended Crozier Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania, was an ordained Baptist minister and earned a doctorate in theology from Boston University. He met his wife Coretta, a music student, while in Boston, and they raised four children. He eventually authored five books.
The King family settled in Montgomery, Ala. His beliefs led him to start a faith-based movement of nonviolent protest. It was there that the Rev. King helped organize the renowned bus strike of 1955 where Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus. His house was bombed by his opponents, but with great courage he kept on with his peaceful protests. In 1956, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled for equal seating in the bus system.
The year of 1963 was a turning point. News clippings of the Birmingham police hosing down peaceful protesters are still haunting today. Gifted with words, King stirred the country with his "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington. Largely due to his efforts, the Civil Rights Act that was proposed by the Kennedy/Johnson administration passed in 1964. This made equal opportunity in employment and education the law of the land.
That same year, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, but still he kept working. During a peaceful march from Selma to Montgomery, Ala., the police force brutalized the crowd with clubs and tear gas. The outcry led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act that same year.
King was only 39 years old when a murderer's bullet ended his life in 1968, but the impact of his death propelled more reform. The Civil Rights Act that addressed anti-discrimination in sales and rental of housing was enacted within months.
All across the country this week, we honored King, who espoused nonviolent reform. I cannot help but wonder what King would think of our policies and plans concerning Iraq.
Why are we capable of building skyscrapers, writing symphonies, sending men to the moon, inventing e-mail and the Internet but still have no better way to solve our problems than killing each other? I think King would tell us we have to find a better way.

I am not now nor have I ever been Glenn Beck.
Please, please believe me!
I am NOT Glenn Beck!
Such was the tone of the unintentionally hilarious article in The New Republic by contributing editor John McWhorter. Apparently his "thought crime" in the eyes of Jim Sleeper writing in Talking Points Memo was agreeing with Glenn Beck on the social toxicity of Frances Fox Piven:
One of Beck's targets is Professor Frances Fox Piven, as today's New York Times reports. When Beck started in on Piven last year, the clever, sad writer John McWhorter joined in, as did the right-wing provocateur David Horowitz.
...In March The New Republic sounded one of these alarms about the curse supposedly cast on African-Americans by the Piven and her late husband Richard Cloward, who were said to have tried to bring down capitalism by flooding the welfare rolls in the 1960s.
The purveyor of this long-exhausted half-truth at TNR was McWhorter, a young black linguist-turned-conservative racial bargainer. He cast Piven and Cloward among the crackpots he'd love to erase from public memory: "Rarely in American history have people with such a destructive agenda [as Piven and Cloward] had such power over the lives of the innocent....., helping to ruin the lives of, for example, some of my relatives."
EEK! Sleeper called McWhorter a (GASP!) conservative which caused the New Republic contributing editor to go into an absurdly funny defensive mode by establishing his liberal bona fides as well as to let us know that he is NOT Glenn Beck:
Now: Of late, Glenn Beck, for reasons of his own, has mounted a crusade against Piven (Cloward is deceased) which has resulted in death threats against her as a Marxist threat to our nation. This chills and disgusts me. I have never advocated witch hunts of this kind against anyone whose views I disagree with, and have had no interest at all in painting even openly Marxist views like Piven's as inherently "unAmerican." I entirely respect Piven's right to express her views.
What chills and disgusts me even more, however, is Jim Sleeper's claim that in criticizing Piven and Cloward I was taking a page from Beck. Sleeper has made a blithe, messy assumption on the basis of chronology: Beck started in on Piven a year ago this month, and my blurb in these pages on her and Cloward – in fact one of ten blurbs about assorted people, not a concentrated hit on Piven and Cloward alone – appeared in March. Sleeper has it that I "joined in" with Beck, then.
What Beck did to cause alleged threats against Piven, McWhorter doesn't say but Mediaite sheds some light on the matter:
...she tells the Times she is receiving death threats, and that Beck's site, The Blaze, allegedly sports anonymous comments like "Somebody tell Frances I have 5000 roundas [sic] ready and I'll give My life to take Our freedom back" (they are typically taken down within a short period of time). While Piven has said she has received email death threats, she has not produced them. Piven says she has taken security measures, but nothing that would interfere too much with her daily life.
And just in case Jim Sleeper or anyone else dare "tarnish" John McWhorter for being a conservative, he makes sure we know where he is coming from politically:
Sleeper's sense of me is clearly based on not having engaged a word I have written since Losing the Race, given that he is obviously bright enough to process that someone who supports Barack Obama, reviles the War on Drugs, supports gay marriage, never voted for George Bush and writes of Black English as coherent speech would be rather infelicitously cast as a "conservative movement water-carrier."
Okay, we got your point, John. You are NOT conservative and you are NOT Glenn Beck. However, please allow your humble correspondent to note the odd fact that you and Glenn Beck have never been seen together in the same room. Hmmm.....

Hello all,
In your words, either "Anglo" and "Saxon" refer to England ...
The Germanic tribe of the Angles (in German: Angeln) lived in the
current German Schleswig-Holstein area where, near city of Kiel, until
today still exists a region called "Angeln" (meaning "land of the
Another Germanic tribe, the Saxons (in German: Sachsen), lived south
of the Anlges in the Holsatia (in German: Holstein) area north of Elbe
river. Over the centuries, they moved south to the flat countries
until the central German mountains and allied with the akin tribes
living there, as there were (by their Latin names) the Chauci (German:
Chauken), the Chamavi (Chamaven), the Amsivarii (Amsivarier) and some
more smaller tribes. Together they united to the powerful people of
the Saxons, and so a wide area is still called Lower Saxony
(Niedersachsen) today. Only the Frisian people, living west of the
Saxons, kept an independent status, until today, and also
The third tribe, the Jutes (in German: Jüten), lived north of the
Angles on the Jutland peninsula (still called Jütland after them, in
Danish: Jylland), the northern part of which nowadays belongs to
In the 4th / 5th century, more or less larger divisions and clans of
these three tribes (the majority of their population have stayed in
their homes on the mainland) moved to the Britannic island, supposedly
because of a series heavy natural disasters which made live harder and
harder there and caused people to move anywhere not to starve to
death, or maybe they had been called by Britiannic rulers - after the
fallback of the Romans and lost of the shelter of Rome - to help them
against invaders from the north, the Picts, or against pirates from
the shores (which tells us the story of Hengist and Horsa, two famous
but legendary leaders).
The Saxons settled in the south from east to west from estuary along
River Thames until Dorset and Somerset (the Dorsaetas and Somorsaetas
- Old Saxon "saetas" means "people settling, living there"), the
Angles stayed east and north in coastal areas until Humber river and
the Jutes settled on the Isle of Wight and in Kent. Altogether they
founded some, through the ages more or less short-lived, uniting and
dividing famous kingdoms, as there were for the Saxons Wessex (= Land
of the Western Saxons), Essex (= Land of the Eastern Saxons),
Middlesex (= Land of the Middle Saxons) and Sussex (= Land of the
Southern Saxons), for the Angles East Anglia (= Land of the East
Angles) with its divisions Norfolk (= Land of the northern part of the
people) and Suffolk (= Land of the southern part of the people),
Middle Anglia (= the Middle Angles) and the South Angles (east and
south of The Wash) and in Kent the Kingdom of the Kentishmen (the
Jutes). You can find a lot of maps showing these frequently changing
kingdoms, their come an go over the centuries until Alfred the Great
happened to unite the kingdoms.
It was mainly the former territory of the Anglian countries which was
annexed by the Danish later in the 8th century and later, and at many
coastal areas settled Norwegian people.
The name "England" has its origin in the Saxon and Old English term
"Aengelland" = "Land of the Angles", latinized to "Anglia". Also in
German, over centuries the name for England was "Engelland", and in
Danish still is Aengelland.
The developent of the English language: First there wer the similar
dialects of the Saxons (Old Saxon), the Angels (Old Anglian) and the
Jutes from the 4th / 5th century. In the 8th century, the west Saxon
(Wessex) dialect of Winchester already was a common language, called
Old English. And in spite of 500 years, Old English until 1066 still
was that similar to the Germanic dialects on the continent that people
from the island and the continent could communicate without major
Differences in British English dialects of today are mainly based on
the generally similar, but slightly different Germanic dialects of
these tribes. These Anglo-Saxon people must have kept intensive
contacts to their homeland and the related clans in northern Germany
and Jutland during a lot of generations, as archeologists and
linguists found out.
But then, in 1066, came the army of the meanwhile french-Romance
speaking Normans, lead by William the Conqueror. 300 years ago, these
Normans were Germanic Vikings of Danish origin who settled in
northwestern France in an area until today called Normandy after them.
They brought their Norman-Old French language to England which first
became the language of the upper class then, and the Saxon idiom first
remained the language of the lower, the conquered people. After the
time of conquest over some generations, these two very different
languages melted to Middle English and then to New English from the
16th century on. This is the reason why the English language since
then has a vocabulary of about 50 % Romance words (i. e. of Latin
origin) and of 50 % Germanic words. For instance, English has two
different words for the animal and its meat: The meat of the wether is
named mutton (French: mouton = wether), the meat of the pig is pork
(French: porc) and the meat of a cow is beef (French: boeuf = neat,
cattle), the meat of the calf is veal (French: veau).
<< The Germans when griping about the American/English economic model
would probably drop "Saxon" from the adjective Anglo-Saxon when
talking about the "roughness" of these non-continental ways of doing
things. >>
No, we don't. Besides this, the English and the American economic
models are indeed very different ...
"Anglo-American" for us first of all means the difference between the
languages: Anglo-America, Latinamerica, French speaking America
(remember Cajun Country or Acadiana!). "Anglo-Saxon" is only a term
for the origin of the English language, nothing more. So the
Anglo-Saxon world today means those countries speaking English. The
Francophonie is the French speking world.

Betreff: Re: [yDNAhgI] Addional Tests
It is said that "England" is an adaptation or modern evolution of
"land of
the Angels" Hopefully we have a scholar on the list who knows "Old
and some of the early usage forms. I think Anglia, a region of
also comes from this fundamental tribal name.
However, most would interpret "Anglo-American ties" to be reference to
USA-UK ties of one sort or the other, rather than connections like my
ancestry in which my mother with ancestry directly from Schleswig
married my
father with ancestry directly from 1635 Essex, Massachusetts, in part.
it is easy to transfer "Anglo" to mean England.
The Germans when griping about the American/English economic model
probably drop "Saxon" from the adjective Anglo-Saxon when talking
about the
"roughness" of these non-continental ways of doing things.

On behalf of the AP U.S. history students and parents of Tokay, Lodi and Bear Creak high schools, I would personally like to thank Vinewood Church for hosting our annual "Wizard of Oz" evening lecture and its connection to the Populist Party of the 1890s. The generous use of Vinewood's wonderful sanctuary made for a memorable evening enjoyed by all.
In particular, a special "thank you" to Pastor Rod Suess, Maria Kelly and Kevin Horst for the time they spent helping organize this educationally entertaining event.
Vinewood's commitment to the Lodi community, its youths and to our schools is to be highly commended.

BRUSSELS, May 9, 2009 (AFP) – Belgium's top cyclist Tom Boonen admitted he had a "problem" on Saturday after a second positive test for cocaine threw his career into serious jeopardy.
News of Boonen's positive test was confirmed by the public prosecutor's office earlier on Saturday after widespread coverage in the Belgian media.
Quick Step rider Boonen, who recently claimed a third victory in the prestigious Paris-Roubaix one-day classic in April, tested positive two weeks after the race.
Speaking on Belgian TV show Sporza on Saturday night, the 2005 world champion admitted that he had a problem.
"The night before the drug test, I went out," he said. "I stayed for a while and I drank. At some stage I must have taken something. Then I had a blackout.
"I think I have a problem. After spending three to four months working, when I go out I probably over-step the mark and I become someone else.
"For 364 days a year, it's perfect. I try to be an exemplary citizen. But the day that I drink too much, something that I don't do often, I change. I will now seek help."
Stunned team manager Patrick Lefevere has spoken to Boonen, and he hinted that the Belgian star's future was now hanging in the balance.
"I really don't know what to say. I'm certainly not at home dancing around my living room: I'm very disappointed," Lefevere, who signed Boonen from Lance Armstrong's US Postal team in 2003, told Sporza.
Quick Step subsequently announced that Boonen was suspended from racing.
Boonen also tested positive for the recreational drug in May last year and although he managed to escape criminal charges, he paid in sporting terms by missing the Tour de France – one of his biggest goals of the season.
At the behest of race organizers who were worried about the negative impact Boonen's presence might have on the 2008 race, Quick Step promptly pulled the Belgian star off their race roster.
News of his latest positive test led prosecutors on Friday to order a raid on Boonen's home. No details have been released, but the possession of cocaine in Belgium carries a punishment of between three months and five years in prison and a fines of 1,000 to 100,000 euros.
Boonen has since faced questioning and despite the unlikelihood of a sporting ban – cocaine is not forbidden outside official competition by the sports authorities – he is likely to face criminal charges.
He avoided charges last year only on the condition there would be no repeat of similar incidents inside three years.
Boonen's lawyer, Luc Deleu, told Sporza that he feared the worst of outcomes for the 28-year-old Belgian.
"In legal terms this test is a problem because it has effectively violated the terms of last year's ruling, which virtually suspended any kind of sentence. The consequences could be disastrous," Deleu said.
Boonen is one of the biggest cycling stars of the past decade and was in such demand in Belgium that he fled the country to live in Monaco several years ago. He only recently returned home.
As well as winning notable races like Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders, Boonen has also won the Tour de France green jersey, for the sprinters' points competition, in 2007.
That was one of his main goals of this season, however the rest of Boonen's season – if not his career – now seems seriously compromised.

Great idea making a bracelet. Some people tape them to their water bottle. I make a laminated card small enough (2"x3") to carry in one of the pockets of my Race Ready shorts. I have posted photos of my pace card for a 5:30 finish.
It has info on both sides in bold font (I am 71 years old). I omit the incline info and even the mileage. All I am interested in is my time at each point and am I ahead or falling behind my scheduled finish times and will I make the cutoffs. Some runners include two finish times (4:30 and 5:00) on one card.
I also include more checkpoints than are on Matt's Pace chart. All of the points on my card are readily identifiable on race day. Mine are for 5:30 but you an interpolate for other finish times.
