A small tree and wreaths decorate the bedroom of Ms. Tutt's mother, Marial. Ms. Tutt even has reindeer in the front yard that she lights at night.
When most folks were putting up Halloween decorations, Lillian Tutt was working on her Christmas decorations.
"I start the last of September or early October. I have so many trees and decorations to put up, so I have to start early," she said. "I tell people that I'm very busy during Christmastime."
With more than 15 Christmas trees of varying sizes throughout the home, one can imagine how busy she is.
Trees are themed. There's the "A Very Precious Christmas" tree, inspired by her dog, Precious; the "RHOyal Christmas" tree, dedicated to her sorority, Sigma Gamma Rho; the "Purple and White Pride Christmas" tree, a tribute to her alma mater, Paine College; and a "Joyful Christmas" tree, inspired by her mother.
"Some people come in and they say, 'Oh, this is too much', but to me, it's just right, because each one is special," she said.
She also collects international Santas and angels to place about the home during the holidays.
Even though she enjoys decorating, she said that she can't forget the reason for the season.
"I'm into the decorating, but I also put him first," she said. "It's a time of the year to give thanks for all that he has done for me and to know it was this time of the year that Jesus Christ was born. He is the reason behind the celebration."

THE FAMILY: Lillian Tutt, her mother, Marial Tutt, and her dog, Precious
THE HOME: One story, three bedrooms, two baths; Lillian Tutt has lived in the home since 1972.

Hive webbing is the name given to the substance used by Xenomorphs to construct their Hives. The material is excreted from the creature's jaws.[1]
Composition and Purpose
Webbing is excreted (often liberally) from the jaws of Xenomorphs as a clear, saliva-like fluid. Much like the silk spun by spiders, it is a proteinaceous substance that hardens on drying.[1] In its hardened state, it adopts a darker, translucent color, often varying shades of black, brown and/or green. Once hardened, webbing is relatively elastic whilst still retaining exceptional tensile strength.[1]
It is primarily used in the construction of a Hive.

BARCELONA—There's nothing that catches the eye at a tech trade show quite like a demonstration of robots.
Maxim Integrated used two robots to demonstrate its new three-axis gyroscope, which was announced at Mobile World Congress this week—a clever way to show off a not-so-exciting piece of technology.
Gyroscopes are built into smartphones and help determine the phone's orientation, for instance, if it's being held in landscape or portrait orientation, or how far away from its users' face it is.
Maxim Integrated's MAX21000 gyroscope features a silicon MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) sensor that is ultra-sensitive to temperature, time, and location. The robots were placed in a vertical pendulum position and rocked back and forth on their own; one robot was powered by the MAX21000, and a different gyroscope powered the other. While the motion between the two was similar, if you looked close enough, you could see a rocky stutter as the non-Maxim robot changed course.
The Maxim team designed the gyroscope to be used in smartphones and tablets for mobility apps, orientation, and optical image stabilization.

MIAMI (AP) - Students from Florida International University are walking on water -- wearing water shoes they built -- as part of a class assignment.The students had to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus.
Thursday while wearing the aquatic shoes in order to get an "A" on the assignment. Alex Quinones was the first to do so in just over a minute, earning him $500 and major bragging rights.
A total of 79 students competed in the race that began in 1989.
Architecture professor Jaime Canaves describes the assignment as a lesson in not only architecture, but also in life. He says he wants to show his students that as long as they research and test their work, anything is possible -- even "walking on water."

Interesting drink. It's old

Interesting drink. It's old fashioned for the first half second, then the habanero kicks in and lingers. I love habanero flavor, but it takes some getting used to in drink form. First time I've had one that tasted like this. Definitely worth trying.

Jobs for the boys and girls at the FSA!
12 comments:
- Jason said...
@Rowan :-
What if the government, so far from "caring about financial crime", actively allows it to happen by such appointments?
I don't notice any huge political will to curb the City. Glass-Steagal only got put in place because FDR decided to push it through and place other severe caps on Wall Street functioning. Nothing similar has happened here. The politicians think the "recovery" depends on these institutions and are probably being told the loosey-goosey regs are necessary to that "recovery".
Any thoughts?
- Big Bill said...
From their backgrounds and their utterances I'd assume our leading politicians are in league with the criminal bankers and are supportive in every way of their criminal activities. I doubt we'll see bankers in jail unless it's made plain to them by public uprising that they can do jailtime or hang from lampposts.
- Rowan Bosworth-Davies said...
Jason, thank you for your insights. I too share your observation that there appears to be a lack of political will to curb the City,we have to remember that so many of the people who have made shed-loads of money in the City are very friendly with MPs and ministers, some of whom have dabbled in the corridors of Mammon themselves. There is an incestuous relationship between Threadneedle St and Parliament Square, and the politicos cannot help but admit that they are looking to the City to get us out of the mess they got us into. I do believe that Osborne et al are listening intently to the 'chaps' who are telling them that they mustn't regulate them too heavily otherwise they might just go abroad. I don't think the Government has the wit to be able to look closely at what is going on inside the FSA and ask itself the serious question, '...what kind of fucking people are they employing to do this specialised job...' But then it was always the same with the Civil Service in so many areas of Whitehall, huge incompetence, vast number of jobs for the boys, keep your nose clean, be a safe pair of hands and don't rock the boat and you will get your gold-plated pension, your putty medal and your seat in some cosy non-exec role. So the Government aren't going to intervene at all. Maybe the new Bank of England may have a view, I have a meeting with a B of E man next week, maybe hope to get him to sit up and take notice! Maybe..........?
- Jason said...
Yes you confirm my suspicions.
Unfortunately the City is not going to deliver the recovery.
And if the politicians can't bring any spine to the proceedings, Big Bill is right -- popular uprising is almost certainly on the cards. (As in Greece which I believe to be a preview of our own future, if things go on as they are.)
That also means some other less savoury political parties may step up to do what the current lot refuse to...
- Hawkeye said...
Another interesting piece that seems to shine a light on the FSA complicity.
Are you attending the conference on Socially Useful Banking tonight?
I'm sure you could put a few pertinent questions about fraud to Andy Haldane of the BoE? (He doesn't appear too afraid to rock the cosy little boys club now and then).
- Harry Alffa said...
I was struck a few months ago when the Head of the FSA, the BBCs Robert Peston, and I think some others, said that the public must be persuaded to trust the banks again.
I thought, why not say the present bankers are obviously untrustworthy, which they are, and we must fire/jail them and find bankers who are trustworthy to be trusting of.
Instead the message from the FSA and media shills is: the public must trust the banks again.
- Harry Alffa said...
I'd be interested in your thoughts on the idea from www.bailoutswindle.com, and whether this would be a useful first step, I think it would, in reducing the political power of the financial sector leading to the crin=minal reforms you so rightly point out are required.
- Rowan Bosworth-Davies said...
Harry,thanks for this. I am afraid I find much of these discussions a trifle confusing. I am not an economist and I was brought up with a fairly simple financial philosophy. You cannot spend more than you earn, saving part of your income is an essential idea, live within your means, cut your coat etc, etc. You sense my drift! There was a time when banks performed a quasi-socially responsible function in our society. When we let the Americans and their investment banking practices in, the whole thing turned to ratshit. I trace it back to 1968 and the Big Bang which I can still recall like it was yesterday. My philosophy is simple. Where there is evidence of fraud or financial crime, the state has a duty to prosecute the people who perform those crimes, and where they are found guilty, to lock them up. By so doing, the exclusionary impact of criminalisation will mean that soon, others within the financial milieu will think twice before committing such offences themselves. This isn't rocket science, it is just common sense. So, I am sorry, I cannot comment with any degree of logic on the observations of bailoutswindle.
- Rowan Bosworth-Davies said...
By the way, I was supposed to have a meeting with a man from the Bank of England on Friday. It was all arranged and we were looking forward to a mutually interesting meeting. His secretary contacted me the day before to tell me that he had cancelled the meeting because now was not a good time to meet me just now!!! Whatever could he have meant?

Our Carey Russ Reports on Western Auto Journalists Driving (FAST) Days at Laguna Seca
WAJ Media Days Overview
Being that I am an automotive journalist based in Northern California, I'm a member of Western Automotive Journalists (WAJ), a professional organization for automotive journalists based primarily in California, but with members from other areas as well. One of the benefits of membership is Media Days, a two-day event during which a wide variety of cars can be sampled both on local loads and, at higher speeds without damage to one's driver's license at a race track. Most recently, the event has been based in the Monterey,CA area, with the track Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca.
Sponsorship note: I usually ignore sponsor names for venues because all too often corporate sponsorship is done for the benefit of the sponsor, not the entity sponsored.
The case with Mazda at Laguna Seca is different. Mazda is a company of enthusiasts, judging by the employees I've met. Laguna Seca is regarded as one of the finest and most challenging short road courses in the world, with massive elevation change and tricky blind corners like the infamous Corkscrew at the top of the hill. (Aim for the tree and believe…)
It opened in 1957, in the middle of the Fort Ord Army base. Which meant that it could only be sparingly used, originally one or two times a year and later a few more times but never as often as necessary to actually turn a profit. When Fort Ord closed, the surrounding area became a county park -- and a little further off, housing developments.
Upscale, expensive housing, the perfect habitat for people looking for peace and quiet. Yes the track was there first, but you know the story… so Laguna Seca still is limited for race and competition testing dates, and all but a very few of those dates are subject to noise restrictions. As are non-competition events.
Mazda sponsorship was welcomed, and Mazda has put much effort and no doubt money into infrastructure maintenance and development. Mazda also gets to test its cars there, and unsurprisingly they all work very well at the track. Even crossovers, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
The first day's street drive was on highways and backroads to the north and south of Monterey, in mostly rainy weather. Fortune smiled on the second day, at the track, as the rain stopped. Following are impressions of the more memorable cars driven.
Point of interest: as quick and violent as this beast was, it doesn't even begin to compare with an ALMS prototype or Indy Car. With Formula One a ways beyond those… If you think that driving a race car is no different than driving your family car, Not Even.

HOUSTON - Authorities are searching for a male suspect responsible for a recent aggravated robbery at a north Harris County dollar store.
On June 1 at around 10pm, an unidentified suspect wearing a black ski mask entered a dollar store located in the 19700 block of FM 2920. Surveillance video shows the suspect hiding in the back storage room until a female victim, mopping the floors, enters the frame. The suspect then approaches the victim wielding a handgun and demands cash from the store's safe.
Harris Co. Sheriff's deputies say the suspect forced the victim(s) to clear the contents of the safe and cash register, and placed the cash into a trash bag. The suspect then led the victims into a back storage room, where they remained as he fled the scene.
The suspect is described as a black male in his mid 20s, standing approximately 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 240 lbs. The suspect was wearing a diamond earring in his left ear and had one tattoo on his right shin appearing to be the picture of a woman. The suspect also had another tattoo on his left forearm appearing to be a female's face with braided hair.
He was wearing a black ski mask, black shirt and tan plaid shorts during the time of the incident.
Anyone with information about the identity of the suspect is asked to contact Crime Stoppers of Houston at (713) 222-TIPS (8477).
Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for any information called in to the 713-222-TIPS (8477) or submitted online at www.crime-stoppers.org that leads to the filing of felony charges or arrest of the suspect in this case. Tips can also be sent by text message. Text TIP610 plus your tip to CRIMES (274637). All tipsters remain anonymous.

Court of Indian Offenses
The first Court of Indian Offenses in the area that was to become the State of Oklahoma was originally established prior to statehood in the Indian Territory in 1886. The original Court of Indian Offenses was created to provide law enforcement for the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache (KCA) reservation. Several prominent tribal leaders served as judges of the court including Quanah Parker (Comanche), Lone Wolf (Kiowa) and several others. An Indian police force provided the law enforcement for the KCA, Cheyenne-Arapaho, and other reservations. Thus, the Court of Indian Offenses pre-dates Oklahoma state courts by several decades.
After the reservations in Oklahoma were opened by land runs to non-Indian homesteading, and federal Indian policy sought to weaken tribal governments and break up tribal land holdings, the courts over time lost their funding and consequently ceased to function. With the void in the enforcement of tribal law, the state began to assert its authority over the remaining tribal and allotted Indian lands even though no jurisdiction properly existed. In recent decades, the Indian tribes have regained the jurisdiction over these lands and have re-established tribal court systems.
The State of Oklahoma once contended that tribal governments had no authority to operate their own justice systems, arguing that the Indian nations had no land remaining under their jurisdictions. Much confusion arose because many thought that tribes only asserted jurisdiction over "reservation" lands. Many people in Oklahoma incorrectly assumed that reservations were terminated at statehood. Recent court decisions have made it clear that tribes assert jurisdiction over all lands that are "Indian country", including reservations, dependent Indian communities, and Indian allotments. These Indian country lands from the basis of tribal jurisdiction today. Since few Indian tribes had operating judicial systems in place in the late 1970's. When tribal jurisdiction was re-affirmed, the Court of Indian Offenses for the Anadarko Area Tribes now the Southern Plains Region Tribes was created. Courts of Indian Offenses are established throughout the U.S. under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), providing the commonly used name — the "CFR" Court". Until such time as a particular Indian tribe establishes their own tribal court, the Court of Indian Offenses will act as a tribe's judicial system. The only difference between CFR Courts and Tribal Courts is the form of laws they enforce.
When the court was re-established in western Oklahoma in 1979, there were four CFR Courts covering eighteen Indian nations. A number of tribes have since established their own systems of justice. Accordingly, the CFR Courts for these tribes have been deactivated. In 1991, a separate CFR Court system was established for Eastern Oklahoma Region Tribes covering eastern Oklahoma, which is headquartered in Muskogee, Oklahoma.
The CFR Court is a trial court and parties present their cases before a Magistrate. Appeals may be taken from the trial court to the Court of Indian Appeals.
Criminal misdemeanor cases involving Indians in Indian country must be heard in tribal courts or the CFR Courts, since criminal cases involving Indians within Indian country are not within the state's jurisdiction. Cross deputization of state and tribal police officers provides for needed law enforcement cooperation, especially in areas where Indian land parcels are mixed in with non-Indian lands under state jurisdiction.
The prosecutor acts on behalf of the tribes to enforce criminal laws and are licensed attorneys hired by contract. Criminal offenses, contained within the federal regulations (25 CFR Part 11), provides the offenses that are applicable in the court.
Criminal punishments may include labor, placement in prison, and/or the payment of court costs and fine. The various constitutions of the Indian tribes provide for civil and procedural rights of persons coming before the court, as do various federal laws including the Indian Civil Rights Act (ICRA). A public defender is available to defend persons in criminal matters who cannot afford a lawyer and for parents subject to proceedings affecting their right to child custody. Persons appearing in the court are entitled to a trial by jury, and other elements of due process under the tribal constitutions and the ICRA.
WHAT CRIMINAL CASES CAN BE HEARD IN CFR COURT? Criminal cases include misdemeanor cases involving Indians that occur within tribal jurisdiction. The areas under tribal jurisdiction include lands defined as "Indian country" under 18 U.S. Code, Section 1511. Indian country includes land within Indian reservation boundaries in the state, dependent Indian communities, and Indian allotments. Felonies involving Indians within Indian country that are federal crimes must be heard in Federal court. Criminal Cases involving non-Indians in Indian country are usually brought in state court.
WHAT CIVIL CASES CAN BE HEARD IN CFR COURT? The CFR Court can hear many different types of civil cases involving Indian or non-Indian arising in "Indian country", where tribal members are defendants. Cases involving Indian and/or non-Indian or non-tribal member are also permitted by consent of the defendant to the personal jurisdiction of the court. The civil matters heard in the court include divorce, guardianship, custody, child support, determination of paternity, name change, business contracts, personal injury, probate of non-trust property, in addition to other civil disputes. To begin a civil suit, a party, or the party's attorney must pay the required filing fee and file the required petition. After that time the court may set the matter for hearing and trial, if required.
DO YOU NEED A LAWYER TO APPEAR IN THE CFR COURT? No. It is advisable to get assistance of an attorney. Defendants in criminal or child welfare cases (involving the termination of parental rights), who cannot afford an attorney may apply to the court to have the public defender appointed to assist in their defense. In other matters, parties are encouraged to hire an attorney who is familiar with the laws and procedures with the CFR Court. The judges and court clerks cannot help parties present cases or act as advocates. Ethical codes do not permit court clerks, judges or other court personnel to assist parties in preparing filings. The Office of the Court Clerk does provide forms and instruction.
CAN ONE APPEAL A CFR COURT DECISION? Yes. Parties have a right to appeal their cases to the Court of Indian Appeals, if they believe that one of the judges of the CFR Court has committed an error or for the relief, such as a writ of habeas corpus, as provided for in the court rules. A notice of appeal must be filed within 15 days after entry of judgment or an order issued by Court of Indian Offenses. Parities must submit a filing fee, insure that the records are transferred to the appeals court within the required time period after the record has been certified and file the necessary petition in error and briefs by the deadlines set forth in the court rules. Failure to abide by the deadlines may result in dismissal of the appeal. Unlike the trial, hearings are held before the appellate court unless the judges agree to a hearing after a party requests one. The decisions are made primarily by reviewing the written briefs and court record of the trial court. The Court of Indian Appeals consists of three judges who review the action of the trial court to determine if the decision made should be upheld or overturned. Generally, a party is limited to discuss issues and evidence presented to the trial court, and cannot submit additional evidence or legal arguments on appeal. Copies of all pleadings and case authority must be mailed to each judge, and filed with the court for proper consideration. If a party wishes to expedite a decision, the party should demonstrate why the court should hear the matter in an expedited manner.
The CFR Court staff is NOT PERMITTED under Ethical Codes and Court Rules to provide legal advice, interpret court rules, or prepare parties documents. Please do not ask the court staff to provide these services. Parties should retain an attorney to obtain legal advice. Please read Assistance of Court Staff.
Form packets are available for your use and are designed to make it easier to select forms required and print the instructions for an action. Information is NOT a substitute for legal advice. For any legal questions, please contact an attorney.

BWW Interviews: Caroline Bowman, SpamalotÂ's Lady of the Lake at AtlantaÂ's Fox Theatre, June 3 - 5.
The Knights who say Ni, Tim the Shrubber, the Holy Hand Granade, and a Killer Rabbit. If these mean anything to you then you are already familiar with the hit cult movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. But even if you aren't familiar with the movie, but love funny, exciting and colorful musical theatre you will soon have the chance to find out more when Theater of the Stars presents Spamalot at the Fabulous Fox Theatre. On June 3, for just 5 performances only, Atlanta audiences will have the chance to go on their own irreverent quest with King Arthur and his Knights and possibly even find their own grail. I caught up with Caroline Bowman who plays the Lady of the Lake.
BWW: Caroline, thanks so much for taking the time to talk with me today. I am excited to hear about the show and I know our readers will be too. We are really looking forward to Spamalot in Atlanta!
Caroline Bowman:You are so welcome!
Let's start by having you tell us a little bit about yourself and your career. Specifically, how did you get into the theatre business??
Well, I started theatre really young. My mom is an actor and she did a lot of community theatre growing up so I kind of got the theatre bug because of her. I took dance classes and voice lessons growing up and then I went to Penn State University for Musical Theatre. Then, between my junior and senior year, I auditioned for Fame: The Musical which was a China tour with Phoenix. I had decided that summer I would just go and audition for everything I was right for, and so I went to New York and only ended up auditioning for two things and I got both of them! I didn't actually think I would get them both, so I had to work things out with school. At first I didn't think I would be able to do it, but my Mom, who is the most supportive and encouraging person in the world, she said I think you can work it out, you should try. So, I ended up somehow working it out through a lot of negotiation, went on tour with Fame, came back and graduated on time. I did Grease with the same company, then Spamalot, and the rest is history!
So, before you got involved with Spamalot were you a fan of Monty Python and/or the show?
Really it was very new to me. I had never seen it before on stage. I had seen a few Monty Python things and part of the Holy Grail movie, and was a fan of Sara Ramirez, and knew of the show, obviously, but I had never seen it. I had to do a lot of research to figure out what this show is all about, and after close to ten months on tour I am still working on it!!
And with the show being based on a very popular cult movie, do you find that creates challenges with being "new"and unique or is it nice to have a fan base to some extent already?
Well, it is really, really amazing, and we know it immediately when we have a bunch of Month Python fans in the audience. We do have a lot of the cult followers who come to the show. It's amazing, because the second the show starts and King Arthur comes out with the coconuts and they go wild, we know then that it is going to be a great show. The challenge with that, mainly for the other actors, is the fact that since we do scenes straight out of the movie, it can be hard to make it their own but stay true to the Monty Python characters that everybody knows and loves. My character is not in the movie, just mentioned, so I have the freedom to go wherever I want with the character. It is a blessing and a challenge for me.
For someone not familiar with the show, in a few words how would you describe it or "sell" it?
I would say that it is a laugh out loud, roll in your seat, sit back and enjoy yourself kind of theatre experience. There are so many words to describe it! It is appealing to a lot of different people, even if you don't know anything about Monty Python or if you know everything about it, just a fun, colorful, wonderful musical.
Let's talk about your character, the Lady of the Lake. How would you describe her to someone who has not seen the show?
I would describe her as King Arthur's guardian. She shows up to help him figure out where to go next on his quest, and in turn it helps her in a way. She has a lot of power, she is a very strong and powerful woman. The director and choreographer told me in rehearsal that she is the only one who knows how this show will end up as long as Arthur takes the right path. She is the only one smart enough to know! She even complains about that in the second act, she is helping everyone on their way but then is not on stage for 30 minutes. It can be a very fun dynamic character.
So, what part of playing the character do you like the most? What do you look forward to the most each night?
I know this sounds silly, but I love everything! I will be having a rough day, not feeling like doing it, but the second the show starts, I feel all better. I get to wear fantastic costumes, every song is completely different and in different styles, so I get to expand my range. I guess one of my favorite parts of it is the fact that it is different and constantly changing. The hard part is not going too far over the top. My favorite song to sing is "Find Your Grail", it is just a ball to sing every night. "Diva's Lament" is great too, who doesn't want to stand in the middle of the stage with a spotlight, it is a dream.
So, Camelot has been referred to as a "silly place", is it? I imagine the cast has a great time together.
Absolutely. We have so much fun on stage every night. They are constantly switching it up on me, and I am switching it up on them, and that is the best. That is really important after so many performances to stay fresh and so funny, so yeah, we are having a ball.
To pull off the off beat humor of a show like Spamalot, I bet it takes good timing and lots of prep. Do you find it more challenging to do a comedic show like this as opposed to a more traditional one?
Well, I think in a way they are similar if you are going to do a dramatic piece vs a comedic piece. The reason why the comedic piece is funny is because we are so serious in such crazy out of this world situations. So, I guess the hard part is zoning out the audience, there are sometimes people cackling in the audience, so not acknowleging them when you are trying to do a serious scene. I think the preparation is the same, trying to figure out why your character is doing what she is doing. There are different challenges in both. In this show I base my performance off of how the audience reacts to me, and in a more dramatic piece you are not as focused on that because you don't hear as much reaction.
Let's talk about touring and being on the road with a show like this. Do you find the audiences are very different from city to city?
For the most part we have been really lucky. Spamalot has sold so well and people really enjoy it. People are walking out whistling "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life" and dancing! Occasionally we get people who have no idea what they are watching, but for the most part we have really great audiences. It is definitely a blessing to do this show.
What is the most difficult part of that touring life? The best part?
I think my main priority while I am on tour is staying healthy. I just make sure that I am drinking a lot of water, getting enough sleep, and eating the right food. It is my job, so I am going to take all that seriously and make sure that I am taking precautions to stay healthy. But it is definitely fun to go to new cities and see different places. Some are better than others, of course, but we are so excited to come to Atlanta!
So have you ever been to Atlanta/performed at the Fox?
I have not, but we have performed at the Fox in St. Louis and I have heard really amazing things about the Fox in Atlanta. I am really excited about that.
So thinking toward the future, do you have a dream role that you would one day like to play?
I have so many dream roles! I want to be on Broadway soon. I am planning on moving to New York after this and really just trying. I would love to play Elphaba in Wicked, I love Amneris in Aida, too many great roles. I am going to New York and pound the pavement and be seen. I want to do everything, I have big plans: Broadway, TV, maybe film eventually!
In closing, I have three, very important questions to ask you:
What is your name?
What is your quest?
To find my own grail
What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
It depends, are they carrying coconuts???
Caroline I really appreciate you taking the time to talk with me today. Is there anything else you would like to share with the readers?
No, I think just that our cast has been waiting to come to Atlanta and are excited to be there and we can't wait to give you guys a great show!!
Monty Python's SPAMALOT, will return to Atlanta for only 5 performances from Friday, June 3 through Sunday, June 5 at the Fox Theatre at 660 Peachtree Street, Atlanta. Tickets range from $20 to $60 and are on sale now at www.theaterofthestars.com.

"Reduce speed, wear seat-belts, use child seats", UNICEF advocates for three key measures to reduce traffic mortality rate in Iran
Tehran, 21 September 2008 – At the occasion of school start tomorrow, UNICEF Iran is appealing to all drivers and other traffic participants in the country to use extra caution on the road when children will return to kindergartens and schools on 23 September.
With 28,000 deaths on Iran's roads every year[1], the country has one of the highest traffic-related mortality rates worldwide. The rate of road accidents in Iran is 20 times higher than the world's average, and 2.5 per cent of all traffic crashes occur in Iran. On average, every 19 minutes one person looses his or her life on the country's roads.
Given these dramatic figures, UNICEF Iran, together with Iran's State Welfare Organisation, Ministry of Health, traffic police and Tehran municipality, is preparing an awareness-raising campaign on road safety and the reduction of traffic accidents for this year's Children's Day on 8 October.
Every driver in Iran can take three key measures to help make Iran's traffic safer:
Ø Reduce speed: Speed is a main factor contributing to road traffic injuries. Reducing speed and driving particularly slow and careful at areas where children are likely to cross roads, such as near kindergartens or schools, considerably contributes to preventing accidents.
Ø Ask children to sit in the back and wear seat-belts: Seat-belts have saved more lives than any other road safety intervention in the event of a crash. They can reduce the risk of all injuries by 40%–50%, and of fatal injuries by 40%–60%. Children should always sit on the back seat and wear a seat-belt.
Ø Install a child restraint: Child restraints, such as infant and child seats and booster seats, have been shown to be highly effective at preventing fatalities among both infants and young children traveling in cars. Child restraints reduce the death rates in car crashes by 71% among infants and by 54% among young children.
"Traffic accidents are the new big threat to the lives of children in Iran," said Christian Salazar, UNICEF's Representative in Iran. "Iran has succeeded to reduce child mortality through vaccinations and a very good primary health care system. Now, it is in the hands of the authorities to find ways to reduce child mortality on the country's roads. However, it will be the general public that has to become more aware of the problem, and act to make Iran's traffic a safer place."
Mohammad Hossein Javadi, Director General of the Children and Youth Department of Iran's State Welfare Organisation, echoed these remarks: "The opening of schools and kindergartens tomorrow will allow for kindergarten teachers and parents to effectively convey basic traffic skills to children. Such training will provide children with simple but important rules on how to behave in traffic, including stopping before stepping off the curb to cross the road, using pedestrian bridges and crossing at pedestrian crossings." Mr Javadi also emphasized the need for parents to install infant and child seats, and to avoid having children sit on the front seats of cars.
One good example for a governmental traffic initiative is the Hamyare Police campaign by the State Welfare Organisation and Iran's traffic police. This initiative, which focuses on traffic education in schools and "traffic parks", was successful in reducing the number of road accidents during last year's Norooz holidays by 15 per cent, according to Mohammad Rouyanian, chief of Iran's traffic police. A total of six million pupils throughout the country worked with the traffic police in the Hamyare Police campaign.

AS a spokesperson for Warrington Green Party and a regular bus user, I would like like to add my voice to the protests against the latest unnecessary fare increases.
Given that the biggest business costs for Network Warrington are fuel and drivers' wages yet neither of these has increased recently, there seems to be no justification for yet another substantial fare rise.
What guarantee do we have that this is the last?
Due to the previous cuts certain areas of Warrington like Culcheth, Warburton and Grappenhall are becoming increasingly isolated.
Let's not forget the council bailed out the bus service last year. Network Warrington's Customer Charter says, 'We promise to offer a good value bus service'.
We're encouraging as many people as possible to come along to the next Network Warrington Customer panel (contact Natalie Fayle email@example.com or call 634296 for details of the next one) and let them know how fed-up we are.

A South Korean official says that a group of European Union officials plan to visit North Korea early next month to assess the need for food aid.
The EU suspended food shipments to North Korea years ago amid disputes over monitoring its distribution.
But a March U.N. report said that more than 6 million North Koreans are now in need of urgent international food aid.
U.S. human rights envoy Robert King traveled to North Korea last week with specialists to examine the severity of the shortage.
The South Korean Foreign Ministry official said Sunday that EU officials plan to spend two weeks in North Korea on a similar mission.
He spoke on condition of anonymity citing diplomatic protocol.
Calls to the EU office in Seoul were unanswered Sunday.

Hump Day Hottie: Macklemore
With the cold winter months approaching, it's time to heat things up. Our new newsletter, Hump Day Hotties, will bring our favorite eye candy directly into your inbox every Wednesday. (Subscribe here!) Feel free to drool. We won't judge.
I can't lie: my Spotify listening of late has been all Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, all the time. Their hip hop album The Heist is the best I've heard all year and that's saying something because it was a good year for music. And it doesn't hurt that Macklemore — aka Ben Haggerty — is easy on the eyes, too. I daresay he looks like a more blonde, masculine version of The Gos.
You've probably heard Macklemore's suddenly-everywhere song "Thrift Shop," which is all about the sweet deals he gets at the Goodwill. But there's more to him than just his threads: he battled a prescription cough syrup addiction, which he raps all about in "Starting Over." Haggerty grew up in the Capitol Hill section of Seattle, Washington, obsessed with rap music but also raised in the Catholic Church. If Wikipedia is to be believed, after this tall drink of water attended Evergreen State College, he ran music workshops at a juvenile detention center.
He's smart, too. In "Ten Thousand Hours," Macklemore raps about his art degree and his love of Basquiat. From songs like "Same Love" (about gay rights and marriage equality), to "Jimmy Iovine" (about how the music industry exploits artists), to "Make The Money" (about how true success comes from within), each and every one of the songs on The Heist is soulful and deep. He speaks out about about sexism and homophobia both in his lyrics and in interviews. What's not to love about lyrics like:
"The greatest trick that the devil ever pulled
Was convincing women that they looked
Better in their makeup"
If you haven't watched the NPR Tiny Desk Concert with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, drop what you're doing and watch it now. SO GOOD.

Leanne Cox, 23, arrived in Thailand just before Christmas and was last seen by friends on Phi Phi just before the water swept in on Boxing Day.
Her father Alan and stepmother Diane said friends told them how they had seen her trying to climb a tree.
They have been searching websites to try and find news about her.
Leanne left England in November 2003 after graduating from university to go travelling with friends.
They spent a year in Australia, then went on to New Zealand and Singapore before arriving in Thailand.
Mr and Mrs Cox said they had spoken to her on Christmas Day when she was very happy and had described it as a paradise island.
Mr Cox said: "What I've been told now is that they'd had breakfast and were dressed and had come back in the room.
"And they just heard this enormous noise which they thought was an earthquake, then suddenly - they were on the beach in a beach hut and the place just seemed to collapse with the water.
"They were then sort of carried along with the water. They were fairly close but then the currents were that strong they just forced them apart.
"As the first wave subsided, Leanne's best friend saw her apparently trying to climb a tree but then she was carried further along."
The couple said they were struggling to get information about their daughter because she was an independent traveller, but had had been looking through websites.
Mrs Cox said: "Unfortunately Leanne falls into a particular group that is unidentifiable, she's an independent traveller.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi! I believe I can be of help with this issue.
I can imagine how worrisome this situation must be for you. You have been taking a very low dosage of Celexa to begin with. 20 mg is really a very low dose as well. However, you are very sensitive to medications so even though 20 mg is a low dosage level, you are concerned.
Because 20 mg is a low dosage level your doctor may want you just to increase your dosage at once. 10 mg is the smallest pill size, but you could discuss with your doctor increasing to the 20 mg by alternating taking 10 mg one day and then 20 mg the next day for 10 days to slowly accustom yourself to the new dosage.
Again, 20 mg is not a high dosage level so it may not be necessary. You've been tolerating Celexa well and that is a good indication you should be able to tolerate the 20 mg level well.
You might also consider adding a behavioral component to your treatment for your depression and anxiety. You've had some life stressors that have increased your anxiety and medications may not be the way to deal with this given your sensitivity to meds. While behavioral treatment requires more effort from the patient than medications and is not as quick acting, it doesn't have the side effects nor withdrawal symptoms of the medications. If you would like to introduce a behavioral treatment, feel free to ask me another question about it. Just write "For Dr. Mark" at the beginning and everyone will know it's for me.
Okay, I wish you the very best!
My goal is for you to feel like you've gotten Great Service from me and the site. If we need to continue the discussion for that to happen, then please feel free to reply and we'll continue working on this. If the answer has given you the help you need, please remember to give a rating of 5 (Great Service) or 4 (Informative and helpful), or even 3 (Got the job done) button. This will make sure that I am credited for the answer and you are not charged anything more than the deposit you already made by pressing any of these buttons. Bonuses are always appreciated! If I can be of further help with any issue now or in the future, just put "For Dr. Mark" in the front of your new question, and I'll be the one to answer it. All the best, ***** *****

"Out With the Old, and In With the New"..Or?
Written by: Kuki
With the end of year tomorrow, the title phrase of this blog will pass the lips of millions of people; A rather natural expression of sentiment, as looking to the future supplies us the hope for the future, that everything will get better.
In regard to the cruise industry, that also somewhat holds true. The biggest attraction is to sail on the newest ships. We expect that they will have the best innovations and updates in the industry, and be manned by the best crew the cruise lines employ within the company…so we think they must be the best ships to cruise.
But what about the older ships we've previously sailed on, which we enjoyed so much. At this time all the major players in the industry have either moved ship's which can no longer offer the amenities and cruise expectations which meet the demand of today's cruisers to subsidiaries operated in distant and less demanding markets, or sold them off to much smaller operators.
Over the past 15 years, since I first started cruising, there's obviously been some wonderful ships we've sailed on; many of which are still sailing. Because of the nature of what I do, writing for CruiseMates, the majority of the time I'm sailing to report on, and review the newer ships, to help give CruiseMates readers the most update info on the most current ships.
Currently MSC cruises has the youngest fleet in the industry, with Norwegian Cruise Line following a close second. However, in the coming year I'm setting a goal to revisit some of the "older ships" we've previously sailed on, and see if they're still as good as they were.
Currently the major mass market cruise lines are sailing very few ships which were christened before 1995; and the vast majority weren't sailing before 2000. So is a ship 9 or 10 years old considered obsolete?
Some of my absolute favourite early cruises were on Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas, Legend of the Seas, and Vision of the Seas. At the time I thought the had some of the most stunningly beautiful interiors possible. Their gorgeous Atriums, with walls of glass with massive views out to the sea, were the heart of the ship; the place everyone gathered at some point in the day. I can't imagine that has changed in the decade since.
I was never a huge fan of Carnival Cruise's Fantasy Class ships, but most have those have now been upgraded, with Water Works, and several have already also had new balcony cabins added (though from viewing pictures I've seen the additional balconies aren't very aesthetically pleasing from the outside).
My favourites from Carnival's "older fleet" are the Carnival Legend, Spirit, Pride and Miracle. They have the most user friendly layouts, and are small enough it's easy to simply bump into fellow passengers you'd met earlier, without having to search for them.
My all-time favourite from Holland America was the Veendam, which first sailed in 1996. I loved her size, and the simple traffic flow, and of course her Holland America "attitude". Just this past year she received a multi million dollar upgrade, so I would love to revisit her.
The oldest ship in Celebrity Cruise Line's fleet is the Century. She was my second cruise ever, on her second ever sailing. Admittedly, at the time I had some issues with her, mainly due to "new ship glitches", and avoided sailing Celebrity for a number of years. Since her total refurbishment, with addition of balconies earlier in the decade, I did sail her again, and loved her. My only problem with her now is she is running on 4 and 5 day itineraries.
My favourite "older" Celebrity ships are the Millennium Class ships. Though they have had occasional incidents of early bearing wear in their pod systems, creating very rare incidents of missed ports or cancelled cruises to affect replacement of the bearings, I wouldn't hesitate to sail any of the "Millie class" ships again.
Several of the old Princess ships I used to really like are now sailing as apart of the P & O Fleet, but my currently available favourites are the Coral and Island Princess, which first sailed in 2003. They're not a decade old yet, so may not be considered "old" to Princess passengers. But, I'll list them here, as their size and design surely make them my favourites in the Princess fleet.
The thing about most of the cruise line's "older ships" is they can normally be booked "for a song"; unless they are running on more exotic itineraries, the per diems on these "older" ships can easily run at 25% to 50% less than the new ships sailing in the same fleet.
So my advice is, don't necessarily discard the idea of booking a cruise on the "older ships", in favour of the draw of the bling blam boom of the new ships. You can easily find outstanding value, and truly enjoyable trips on the older ships in the cruise line's families.

CBS, The Barack Obama Network
By Kyle Drennen | January 19, 2009 6:28 PM EST
In a 7:43AM commercial break during Monday's CBS Early Show, the network aired a promo for a new episode of the show 'Two And A Half Men,' that used an Obama campaign slogan: "Can CBS show you the funny side of families?...Yes we can." The words appeared on screen in red, white, and blue, soon followed by a flash of the CBS logo in the same colors, looking very similar to Obama's campaign logo.
At the end of the promo, the screen displayed the cast of the show in red and blue, similar to a famous Obama portrait, with the show title and time. The bottom of the screen declared: "Yes We Can Monday."

'Concerned' Woman on Fox News: Reason is what lead to the Holocaust
You know, I know that when I think of Hitler, my first thought is always "Oh my! What a reasonable man he was! So enlightened! And logical! Boy, was he logical!"
Ugh. Ok, so Peggy Nance, the President of "Concerned Women For America" is up on FOX News today talking about how she's just so mad because Anthony Foxx the Mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina (and candidate for Transportation Secretary) declared today a "Day of Reason" for his city. When it is supposed to be The National Day of Prayer!!! Here she is bravely taking a stand against reason, because it led to Hitler (duh):
I'm not going to lie. I love the Concerned Women For America like I love Chick Tracts. They're so reliably insane– and sure, many groups are. But no one combines bitchy Tupperware Party Host/ PTA President like they do. It's like they're real live Stepford Wives. It's fascinating to watch. I cannot possibly recommend the former president Wendy Wright's interview with Richard Dawkins enough. It is just delightful.
Anyway, even before we get to the reducio ad hitlerum, Peggy explains:
"GK Chesterson said that the Doctrine of Original Sin is the only one in which there have been 3.5 thousand years of empirical evidence to back up."
BAM. Take that, Science! The only thing that has ever been really proven is that 6,000 years ago a snake talked a lady into eating an apple and so we all must suffer forever and think it's weird when people are naked. Everything else is a lie. Obviously.
Then, she gets at us with some history. Because, see, people in the Enlightenment talked about stuff like moral relativism and reason instead of the Bible… and then what do we have 200 years later? The Holocaust. Can't argue with that one! That sure is a time line, um, of things that happened.
"You know, the Age of Enlightenment and Reason gave way to moral relativism. And moral relativism is what led us all the way down the dark path to the Holocaust… Dark periods of history is what we arrive at when we leave God out of the equation."
Obviously. I mean, that's why the Spanish Inquisition was such a pleasant time for everybody.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi Karen,
With long use of SSRI class medication, a person can develop anhedonia. This is because these class medications at some point affect the dopamine levels. As a result, you experience what you call "emotionless" state of being.
Often, to counteract this, a physician may add dopamine agonists to your SSRi medications such as Wellbutrin.
Anhedonia is a symptom of depression and if you're experiencing it, your depression is not per se improving. You don't want your base line to be that of anhedonia (emotionlessness) http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/adis/cns/2000/00000013/00000001/art00004

Cranchi Eco Trawler 53 LD
Our boat test of the Cranchi Eco Trawler 53 LD. With a contemporary yet salty look, the Cranchi Eco Trawler 53 LD offers her own appealing set of cruising parameters.
Cranchi 60 ST
Our Boat Test of the Cranchi 60 ST. When a boat brings that Mediterranean flair to everything it can do, it increases the cool factor. The Cranchi 60 ST does just that, but it also brings a livable layout and a surprising amount of onboard space.
Cranchi Sixty Fly
Our first look at the Cranchi Sixty Fly. If you're after "striking," the Cranchi Sixty Fly brings a host of features and amenities together in a daring European design.
Cranchi 43 ECO Trawler
New Boats Notebook: Update on the Cranchi 43 ECO Trawler
Cranchi ECO Trawler 53 LD
Power & Motoryacht's first look at the Cranchi ECO Trawler 53 LD
The ECO Trawler 53 LD from Cranchi is a "fast trawler" that lives up to her moniker. She can cruise efficiently between 14 and 18 knots, and top out at a spritely 22. Interior volume is a strong point for this boat as well, making her highly liveable, with large staterooms and a spacious saloon.
Cranchi M40 Soft Top
Cranchi seems to have a knack for producing midrange express cruisers that keep their customers happy with a pleasant mix of onboard accommodations and on-the-water performance. They have seen much success with their Endurance 41, and now look forward to continued adulation with the M40, a boat that debuted at the 2012 Miami International Boat Show. That continuation of praise wouldn't be all that surprising, since she is at once both sleek and functional, built for play, but also amenable to life onboard.
Cranchi Fifty 8 Fly
Power & Motoryacht's first impression of the Cranchi Fifty 8 Fly With attractive and relatively low-slung lines it's no wonder the Fifty 8 was the source of so much chatter on the docks.
Cranchi Zaffiro 36
Zaffiro is Italian for sapphire, a gem known for its strength; sapphire ranks 9 out of 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness (diamond is a 10). The jewel's strength owes much to its density—there's a lot of material in a compact space. Much like its namesake, the new launch from Cranchi is a tightly packed jewel. But the real feat of the builder is making the boat feel so
Cranchi Zaffiro 36
Making Room
The space-conscious layout of the Cranchi Zaffiro 36 begins in the cockpit, where the L-shape settee flips forward to allow access to the engine compartment. A molded step and and a hollow under the helm give more headroom to the full-beam master stateroom below. The entrance to the interior is to port via a garage-style aluminum
Cranchi Mediterranee 43 HT
In China this is the year of the pig. But in Sweden it's clearly the year of the IPS, as numerous builders in multiple countries introduce models designed to accommodate Volvo Penta's innovative propulsion system. In this regard Cranchi was no exception, having promoted its first IPS model (the Mediterranee 43 Open) for nearly two years prior to its debut earlier this year. Then recently Cranchi
Cranchi Atlantique 50
During the wintertime in Manhattan, I often forget that I'm on an island. Sure, I'm aware the Hudson and East Rivers are chockablock with ferries, tugs, Coast Guard vessels, and myriad commercial boat traffic, but walking along the skyscraper-walled canyon of Madison Avenue tends to skew one's perspective.
Spring can't arrive soon enough. In late May the PMY crew starts spending
Cranchi Mediterranee 47 HT
As I write this, a commuter heading down I-80 in Kearney, Nebraska, may be getting an early-morning eyeful as 47 feet of Italian yacht passes him port to port. The yacht is a Cranchi Mediterranee 47 HT whose odyssey started in a lamination room back at the builder's Lake Como, Italy, headquarters several months ago and will end with Warren and Gail Dent taking possession of her in Seattle. And
Cranchi Endurance 41
The water off Hillsboro Inlet in Pompano Beach, Florida, is not a nice place when the wind and seas are up. On the day James Clayton, Cranchi's stateside rep, and I were to sea trail the Endurance 41, it had been raining for most of the morning.
Did I say rain? How about torrents that quickly produced up to four inches of standing water on the highways and streets? Rain that, when it
Cranchi 33 Endurance
The Cranchi 33 Endurance, a sleek, blue-hulled express cruiser, generated some talk among attendees at last fall's Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show for her streamlined profile, artistic centerline radar mast with arrow-shape top, and centerline helm station. Truly a different-looking boat, she was also reported to dart across the water like a flyingfish. So when I got the call to test her,

The Essential Cardigan
The simpler the stitching on any garment, the easier it is to modify the fit, so this is a great first sweater to custom fit to your own measurements. The pieces of this sweater are interchangeable with the pieces of the Essential Pullover, so some possible changes are already written out for you!
The Essential Cardigan has waist shaping, and traditionally fitted tapered sleeves.
One way to dress a simple sweater up or down is to change the buttons or the edgings. Let those quick additions do the work, and keep the stitching simple.

The New York Jets drafted Quinton Coples in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft, hoping he would be part of an effort up front to generate more of a pass rush without having to blitz. The Jets have relied on their secondary since Rex Ryan's arrival, unable to pressure the quarterback without exotic blitz schemes that leave them vulnerable to surrendering big plays. With Darrelle Revis out for the season and the defensive line unable to get to the quarterback, the Jets are going to be forced to pick their poison.
The injury to cornerback Darrelle Revis will leave the New York Jets with a decision to make. The Jets were able to survive without much of a pass rush when their secondary included Darrelle Revis, along with Antonio Cromartie, LaRon Landry and others. Now, one of the top receiving threats on the other team will be covered by Kyle Wilson. Not to knock on Kyle Wilson, but he's not one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL. If opposing quarterback are allowed to sit in the pocket, he will be exposed.
On the other side of this issue, the Jets can't create pressure without bringing extra blitzers. There was talk that the Jets might be able to generate a pass rush with just their defensive line this season. That hasn't come close to happening. That will force the Jets to either go all-out and send lots of extra pressure on the quarterback, which will open them up to surrendering some big plays. Or the Jets can sit back in coverage and watch opposing quarterbacks sit in the pocket, and sit in the pocket, and sit in the pocket until someone finally comes open or a defensive lineman finally breaks through.
Having followed Rex Ryan for a while now, expect him to do the former. The loss of Darrelle Revis will make Rex Ryan (and Mike Pettine) more aggressive in calling blitzes and trying to get after quarterbacks. Rex Ryan's father, Buddy Ryan, believed in attacking the quarterback, as does Rex. Even if Darrelle Revis were healthy, there's a good chance the Jets would be turning up the heat right now given their issues getting to the quarterback. Without him, there's no doubt they will.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"But the angel reassured them. 'Don't be afraid!' he said. 'I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.'" (Luke 2:10 NLT)
Knowing God is for you will change your whole perspective on life. You'll stop thinking of God as someone looking down from Heaven, ready to yell "Gotcha!" any time you mess up.
God is for your success in life; he created you for a purpose and he wants you to succeed. It is God, your Creator, who will measure your success in life, and no one else.
This is extremely good news!
It means you don't need to be afraid of God because God is for you. Yet, some people are so afraid of God they get nervous just talking about him. Do you know why? They feel guilty, and then they start thinking, "If I get close to God, he's going to lecture me. He's going to remind me of all the things I've done wrong, and then I'll feel even worse!"
Nothing could be further from the truth of God. Jesus said, "I did not come into the world to condemn it, but to save it." In effect, Jesus is saying, "I didn't come to scold you, I came to save you."
And if God is for us, who can be against us?
Jesus came to save us, not to scare us. That's why when the angel was telling the shepherds about the birth of Jesus, the first thing he said is, "Don't be afraid!"
In fact, when God sends a message to people in the Bible, it's not unusual for the first words to be: "Don't be afraid." There are 365 messages from God in the Bible that begin with a phrase like, "Fear not!" In other words, every single day of the year you can read a message from God that says, in effect, "You don't need to be afraid. I am for you; I am with you; I love you."
We celebrate Christmas because of this good news from God!
How would your life change if you deeply believed God is for you? Ask God to help you in your unbelief.
Watch a short video sample from Pastor Rick on the importance of love. Saddleback Resources offers 40 Days of Love, a six-week, video-based study for small groups or individuals that searches the Scripture for what love is, the characteristics of love, and how our relationships can be transformed by love.
Rick Warren is the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., one of America's largest and most influential churches. Rick is author of the New York Times bestseller The Purpose Driven Life. His book, The Purpose Driven Church, was named one of the 100 Christian books that changed the 20th century. He is also founder of Pastors.com, a global Internet community for pastors.

Team Health Reports
Baltimore Orioles
C Javy Lopez: He was used quite a lot last season and the lack of a credible backup hurts Lopez's outlook. The plan to use him at DH makes sense, but it will make it impossible for the team to field their best offensive lineup. A Todd Pratt-type would look good here.
1B Jay Gibbons: Let's see...chronic back problems, chronic hip problems, and his OPS never topped 800 in the first place? Here's a red flag if I ever saw one. Worse, the treatment for his hip flexor was rest; with the back, well, they're considering one of those psychic surgeons in the Philippines. Andy Kaufmann gave them some names.
3B Melvin Mora: Sure he's had some hamstring problems, but he's still something of an unknown quantity in many places. Get to know him.
LF Larry Bigbie
CF Luis Matos: Metal. Rod. Those aren't words you want associated with your speedy, slap-hitting center fielder. It is what Matos had inserted in his right shin late last year. The lack of options gives him the job, but it can't keep him out there unless he hops really well.
RF Sammy Sosa: Sosa's at an age where things either break down completely, or the player is such a physical specimen that he can bust the curve of normal aging. Sosa's had injuries, but almost all have been either fractures or flukes. Expect a motivated Sosa to stay healthy.
DH Rafael Palmeiro: Palmeiro passed the 500-home-run mark through consistency more than anything else. Like Henry Aaron, Palmeiro showed up for work, hit his 35-plus homers a season, and went home. If Canseco's telling the truth, Palmeiro's one of few players who has had no side effects from steroids, though I guess it could put those Viagra ads in a new light.
SP Sidney Ponson: Big. Fat. Consistent. Not consistently good, but at 28, the potential is still there. Making 30 starts will give him a lot of chances to have good things happen.
SP Bruce Chen: Consider this a holding spot for Matt Riley. Of course, Riley's had shoulder problems off-and-on throughout his Tommy John recovery, so while I wouldn't advise Chen to take out a mortgage, he doesn't need to keep his bags packed, either.
SP Daniel Cabrera: He's inexperienced and was pushed up early, but his workload wasn't horrible. At 24, he's not really that young. Worry if he gets above 175 innings.
SP Erik Bedard: Bedard suffered a lot of stress (as defined by PAP) last season. His mechanics give him electric stuff, but electricity can shock. He's right on the verge of a red light; I'm more worried than this rating indicates.
CL B.J. Ryan
If there were a Redbook this year (and there's not) you'd find the Orioles right in the middle of the pack. Not average--that's skewed by a couple of freakish results the last few years--but median. Think "mediocre" and that's pretty much what you've got as far as results. The O's, on the field and in the training room, seem to have all the parts. Richie Bancells and his staff are well-regarded by their colleagues, yet their numbers are never high or low.
There's certainly something to be said for consistency, but it also shows that they're not preventing more than would be expected by luck. They don't really have much to work with, with some older established players like Palmeiro and Tejada and some younger guys who've had problems already, like Bedard and Riley. The worst news has come from the minor leagues, where hard data is tougher to come by.
The case I look at most is Javy Lopez. A premier free-agent signing, Lopez was actually a pretty good player last year. The problem was, he really wore down under the workload of only 125 games. He complained about fatigue regularly, yet there's not much help behind him. The front office says they want him to spend some time at first base or DH, but if Geronimo Gil makes 40 starts, this team has no hope of chasing down the Yankees or Red Sox.
On a pure risk profile, this isn't a bad team. The likely injuries they have aren't damning and they have some reasonable depth and flexibility with David Newhan and Mora. In the end, they'll probably end up in the middle of the pack again. Not that there's anything wrong with that; it just doesn't show a lot of ambition.
The first BP Pizza Feed and Book Signing in Las Vegas will happen Thursday, March 3. Joe Sheehan and Will Carroll, along with ESPN 720 personalities and special guests, will be on hand to talk baseball, sign books, and have some fun. It's Vegas, baby!
