Markel Could Beat Berkshire as Value Pick
Warren Buffett has achieved enormous success with Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B), using it as a quasi closed-end fund. Berkshire garnered a lot of recent attention when it bought back a major block of stock from the estate of a longtime shareholder at near 120% of book value.
Insurance companies find that year-to-year earnings per share can vary dramatically. Buffett believes that long-term growth in book value is the best way to judge his success. Berkshire had a good record in this metric, according to its numbers from year-end 2002 through year-end 2011. Book value rose 145% cumulatively....394 more words left in this article.

AMBULANCE chiefs are urging the public to stay safe during the hot and sunny weather.
West Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust is bracing itself for another challenging weekend with further heat wave alerts issued for Friday (July 18) and the potential for heavy rain and thunder storms on Saturday (July 19).
The service generally reports a rise in 999 calls from patients with breathing difficulties and chest pains when temperatures rise so Trust bosses are reminding people to ensure they only call for an ambulance in an emergency.
WMAS medical director, Dr Andrew Carson, said: "A heat wave poses a real danger to those patients with emphysema, asthma and long term breathing problems.
"The hot weather makes breathing difficult even for healthy individuals. That's why we suggest people with respiratory illnesses should remain indoors as much as possible.
"It is vital that we get to these patients as quickly as possible and would therefore ask the public to assist us by only calling 999 in life threatening situations."
To stay safe during the sunny weather - people are advised to apply plenty of sun cream, wear a hat and light, loose fitting cotton clothes; avoid being out during the hottest hours of the day – 11am to 3pm; drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated (preferably water rather than caffeine based or alcoholic drinks which are dehydrating).
Members of the public are also urged to only swim in supervised swimming pools – not rivers and lakes; ensure barbecues are lit safely and in the correct manner to avoid burn injuries and make sure food is cooked properly to avoid food poisoning incidents. Adults are also advised not to let children play too closely to hot barbecues and to use correct cooking utensils to avoid burns.
Those going for walks in the countryside are advised to wear appropriate footwear to avoids slips and trips; and people planning a road trip are encouraged to take food and drinks on long journeys and to look out for the increased number of bikers on the roads during sunny weather.

Morneau day to day with back stiffness
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Justin Morneau, who was scratched from the Twins' lineup Thursday night after experiencing mild lower back stiffness during his pregame workout, is "day to day," said general manager Terry Ryan.
"His back is OK," Ryan said Friday, although Morneau was not in the lineup. "He's healthy."
Will Morneau be in the lineup Saturday, when the Twins play their final Grapefruit League game?
"I don't know," said Ryan. "It depends on how he feels."
However, Ryan said he does expect Morneau to be in the lineup when the Twins open the season at home against the Tigers on Monday.
Morneau, who participated in the World Baseball Classic, has played in 15 games this spring, batting .267 with three homers and 11 RBIs.

How to Use the Context
Inquiry Question
After the Civil War most Americans wanted to concentrate on domestic concerns. Economic issues dominated society, particularly those that involved the creation of an industrial juggernaut. During this period, the United States increasingly became a nation of industrial cities. Metropolitan areas exploded: between 1880 and 1900 Chicago's population tripled; over the same period New York's nearly doubled. In 1880 fewer than half of America's workers held jobs in agriculture. Perhaps the best way to illustrate the country's development is to point out that by 1890 the value of manufactured goods produced in the U.S. exceeded the combined total of those made in England, France, and Germany.
For the most part, the federal government devoted little time or money to defense and foreign policy issues. During the 1880s the State Department had only 60 employees; spending in 1879 on the Army and Navy Departments was half its level of 10 years earlier. A small group, however, did look outward. Some focused on the Caribbean and Latin America, arguing for a stronger navy to enforce the Monroe Doctrine and even supporting further acquisition of territory. Others concentrated on the European nations, noting their race for colonies in Africa and Asia and the rapid buildup of their navies.
National and international affairs did occasionally overlap. Some businessmen and politicians argued that a stronger military could help the country in at least two ways. A more powerful navy could protect vessels trading U.S. goods overseas, and a stronger system of coastal defenses could safeguard the economic resources in major American cities such as New York. These positions were by no means shared by all, however.

By now you've all presumably read about the latest lousy news to hit technology giant Hewlett-Packard Co.
For those that haven't: The company Tuesday claimed it had been duped into overpaying for one of its largest acquisitions, a U.K. software maker, that will result in an $8.8 billion charge.
H-P said an internal investigation revealed "serious accounting improprieties" and "outright misrepresentations" by Autonomy, which H-P acquired for $11.1 billion in October 2011.
So who is to blame for this? It's likely too soon to tell, but already the finger-pointing has begun. H-P is squarely blaming Autonomy. In a statement, the company said:
HP is extremely disappointed to find that some former members of Autonomy's management team used accounting improprieties, misrepresentations and disclosure failures to inflate the underlying financial metrics of the company, prior to Autonomy's acquisition by HP.
Mike Lynch, Autonomy's CEO at the time, on Tuesday rebutted the allegations, saying that they are "completely and utterly wrong and we reject them completely."
H-P used two accounting firms, Deloitte UK and KPMG, to review Autonomy's financials. But according to Meg Whitman, H-P's chief executive, neither turned up any irregularities. (Spokespeople for both firms declined further comment to The Wall Street Journal beyond noting the allegations, citing client confidentiality.)
And, the big question from where we sit: what about the lawyers who represented H-P on the deal?
Three represented the company on the deal — Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, and Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP — while a fourth, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, represented H-P's board.
Should they have unearthed the alleged problems at Autonomy during their due diligence on the deal?
(Drinker Biddle and Skadden did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Freshfields declined to comment. Gibson Dunn referred us to H-P, which declined to comment on its outside lawyers.)
According to the folks we checked in with, the answer is not straightforward.
One veteran M&A lawyer in New York said that a deal lawyer's job is two-fold: to negotiate all the non-price-related terms of the deal, and to run due diligence that pertains to legal questions. "You have to look at contracts, the structures of subsidiaries, lawsuits the acquiree might be involved in," he said. "But you don't dig into the numbers. You're not paid to do forensic accounting."
Texas Tech University law professor and corporations expert Eric Chiappinelli agreed — up to a point. "It's true that lawyers aren't trained as accountants," but they do "put their nose under the tent."
Added Mr. Chiappinelli: "In a situation like this, if there were significant problems, a lawyer should see a red flag even if he or she doesn't see the whole fraud."

Megan Fox Is Really Bad at Pictionary, Can't Remember What Frogs Look Like

Cannon was paired up with Megan Fox during the latest round of Jimmy Fallon-approved Pictionary, and the pair turned in a ... well, it was a pretty dismal performance.

A DAD found with a £600 stash of cannabis in a car, some of which would have been supplied, kept his freedom.
Burnley Crown Court heard how Arshad Hafeez, 45, had bought the drugs in bulk for about £200.
He would have used some of the cannabis himself and the remainder was to have been shared in a three-way split.
The hearing was told Hafeez had a significant role in the offence.
The defendant, of Brier Crescent, Nelson, had admitted possessing cannabis with intent to supply.
He was given six months in jail, suspended for 12 months, with 12 months' supervision and must pay an £80 victim surcharge.
The court heard how on June 10 last year, Hafeez was driving a car in which there were two passengers.
Police found 59 bags of cannabis, weighing 44.4 grams and worth just short of £600.
The defendant may have to return to court in September for a proceeds of crime hearing, or it may be dealt with administratively.
Passing sentence, Judge Jonathan Gibson told Hafeez he had read about his health problems.
He said the defendant was generally in work and a family man.

Monster's sale
For the past two weeks our church has been preparing for a monster garage sale and silent auction to be held this weekend. Several scriptures immediately come to mind as we prepare for this biennial event. "How long O Lord, how long?" "Get behind me, Satan!" "Your ways are not my ways."
I used to be totally against church garage sales as a way to make money for the church. After all, what about the challenge of good stewardship and sacrificial giving to show our commitment to the Body of Christ, the Church? After observing and participating in the preparation for several sales, I have come to believe that this is not about making money. Sure we make some money, but the true purpose comes in the spiritual education we receive.
At Crosslake Presbyterian we call them "Monster Sales" instead of garage or yard sales. That is partly because of the monstrous size of the sale. It is also because it helps bring out the potential monsters within each of us. Our internal monsters are held in check as the preparation and sales become stressful and exhausting. More people participate in donating to, preparing for, and working at these monster sales than any other single church activity… including worship. We don't argue or fight, but there is much self-control that we each have to learn as we see our very prized possessions devalued by those who are doing the pricing, as well as by those doing the shopping.
Seriously! That beautiful 4'X 3' painting of Jesus holding a lamb was $50 back in 1972 when it was purchased. The frame itself should make worth more than the $3 that some cheapskate church person put on it! After all, those little mold spots which accumulated when it was stored in my garage for 30 years could easily be cleaned off with a little elbow grease. But heavens no, I don't want it and would never hang it in my own home. But it is sure worth more than $3!
Hmmmmm. Anything wrong with this picture? I mean the picture where we don't value things enough to keep them, but think that someone else should value them more. The first lesson we learn as we prepare for the sale is that of humility. You must humbly work this dilemma out in your own heart in order to be part of this event. Working this out is a spiritual discipline. It goes right along with Jesus words in Matthew 6:19 that says "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth… but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven." Another place Jesus essentially says to the rich young ruler, "If your junk causes you to possess, accumulate, and over value... throw it out."
There are few more profound hands-on lessons for the church community truly working together than the preparation for a monster sale. When we go on mission trips, we work on other people's projects and are prepared to do them "their" way. Majority rules when we decide on the color of carpet in the sanctuary. But at the monster sale, we work side by side, trying very hard not to be critical of the person pricing things right next to us; or judging the person who has undervalued the precious items we have donated.
Here we learn true lessons in letting go, humility, kindness, patience, endurance and love. All are values we hear a lot about from Jesus, our example, teacher, and Savior.

Comments about Osprey ULTRALIGHT RAINCOVER MEDIUM:
Solid accessory. Lightweight construction with a good waterproof membrane on the material. Packs up pretty small in its own pocket. Reflective logo on the front so people know who you carry. My only gripes which are smallish ones and sort of depend on the user. If you plan on carrying a tent or pad on the outside of your pack, you'll want a larger sized cover to go over those extra pieces of gear. If you're using the cover on a pack at the maximum size, it will be difficult to strap anything else on the outside of your pack. But that allows you to learn to pack more efficiently. The material is of great quality but it does tend to snag on branches and rocks. A couple holes here and there after 6 uses is no big deal. I just slap a little Tenacious Tape on there and call it good. Lastly, the rain cover does not cover the area between the pack and the user. That frame area is exposed and I have found water to find its way into the main compartment through this spot. No Rain cover is entirely waterproof but if you're worried, I would suggest a pack liner of sorts for extra protection. Overall, I really liek the color and reflective tones and the lightweight pack protection for most wet weather. I would defintely buy another one in the hi Vis style for Bike Commuting.

My consultation with you will include evaluation of your condition, my opinion on how the condition should be treated and any alternatives you may wish to consider before making your decision. A history, physical examination and photographs will be taken and examples of possible outcomes will be shown via textbooks of surgery. I only perform surgery that I feel I am capable of performing and will treat you as though you were a member of my family. There are no charges after the initial consult for further visits. My secretary - office manager, Pat will be able to tell you the timing and scheduling of the surgery as well as the cost. Pat has been with me since I started my practice in 1980 and can also answer any common questions that have been asked in the last thirty years. She has no qualms in putting us directly in touch with you should the need arise and I am available at all times via my cellphone and answering service.

BALTIMORE -- It was on this date a year ago that Matt Carpenter was wrapping up a 9-for-64 lull that represented his worst stretch of an otherwise exceptional season. He hinted at the time and admitted afterward that fatigue contributed to the brief, but sharp decline in production.
Carpenter did rebound to hit .355/.432/.536 over the final seven weeks of the 2013 season, but this year he vowed to better pace himself so that he could avoid even a temporary production dip.
"I've been tailoring my work around how long the season is, and I think that was the biggest thing I learned from last year," Carpenter said on Saturday. "Having gone through it once, I didn't want to hit that point where I felt like I was wearing down. That happened last year. I want to be as strong at the end of the year as I was to start."
That doesn't translate to Carpenter taking fewer swings or giving up his distinction as being the earliest player to the ballpark on most days. But he is cautious about not overworking himself, and Carpenter has been aided by the fact that he didn't have to pour all those additional hours into learning a new position again over the offseason and during Spring Training.
The rest he got then has translated into freshness now.
"I feel way better than I did at this point last year," Carpenter said. "Obviously, we'll find out if I'm able to get on a tear here and it pays off. But physically, I feel good."
Carpenter, who has started 113 of the team's 115 games, including each of the last 43, has nevertheless gotten off to a slow start this month. In seven August games, Carpenter is 5-for-22. However, he has struck out just once, and his on-base percentage has hardly suffered. The third baseman continues to be the team's best at extending at-bats and drawing walks.
His 63 walks entering Saturday ranked fourth most in the National League. He also remains among the league leaders in OBP (.379) and runs scored (71).

My wife was asking me the other day whether there was ever a disc golf course that was designed by a woman.
Her point being that once that happened, disc golf will have just begun to become a truly co-ed sport.
Anyone know of any courses designed by a woman? Should we work to make it happen, in our local areas?

What can you say about WWE superloser (oops, meant "superstar") Matt Hardy that hasn't already been said? We are all aware of the numerous videos uploaded on YouTube containing the pleas for his release,
as we are aware of the characters of Matt and Matthew. The question at hand is why does the WWE simply not release him and my opinion of why he really wants him freedom.

Gay teen who hanged himself after being bullied has diedPosted: Updated: Feb 3, 2013 05:48 PM
A La Grande teenager passed away at Oregon Health & Science University Hospital on Sunday afternoon after he was taken off life support earlier in the week.
The family of Jadin Bell, 15, spent the last two weeks in the hospital after the teen hanged himself because he was bullied for being gay.
Bell was on life support until Tuesday night when his family removed him from life support.
He remained in critical condition until Sunday afternoon, when officials at OHSU said he passed away.
On Jan. 19, Bell was found hanging from a play structure at Central Elementary School in La Grande.
A passer-by rescued him and he was then taken to OHSU, where he remained on life support until Tuesday night.
A family friend described Bell as a wonderful kid who had a big heart and was full of life and joy.
Friends said they found it fitting that he was a member of the cheerleading team.
At a recent vigil, several hundred people came out to show their support for Bell and send their messages of love.
"Jadin had the ability to walk into a room and with just three or four words put a smile on everybody's face that was down and out. It was amazing," said Bud Hill, a family friend who considers Bell a nephew.
La Grande's School Superintendent, Larry Glaze, said administrators and counselors recently handled a situation where Bell had been bullied at school and he said the issue had been resolved.
However, family members believe the bullying extended from campus onto the Internet.
As a result of what has happened, the superintendent will meet with principals and counselors at his schools to talk about what is being done to deal with bullying and suicide prevention.
In the meantime, Hill plans to start a foundation in honor of the teen he called a nephew.

OVER the past 2½ years, all of which he has spent in a military prison, much has been said about Bradley Manning, but nothing has been heard from him. That changed late last week, when the 23-year-old US army private, who is accused of leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks, testified at his court martial about the conditions of his detention.
The oppressive, borderline-torturous measures he endured, including prolonged solitary confinement and forced nudity, have been known for some time. A formal UN investigation denounced them as ''cruel and inhuman''. President Barack Obama's State Department spokesman, retired air force colonel P.J. Crowley, resigned after condemning Manning's treatment. A prison psychologist testified last week that Manning's conditions were more damaging than those found on death row, or at Guantanamo Bay.

I am trying to understand what compelled Obama who campaigned as an Washington outsider, as a supporter of grass-roots power, to go along with this retribution from the military establishment. Manning's actions after all have not aided al Qaeida have they? So is Obama so beholden to the military, or is there another reason I am missing?

October 1, 2007 – Erlanger, KY - Toyota announced today that it has awarded its third local construction contract for its new Highlander vehicle assembly plant in Blue Springs, Mississippi.
West Brothers Construction, based in Columbus, Lowndes County, has formed a joint venture with Livonia, Michigan-based Aristeo Construction for the foundation project for the plant's assembly and body weld buildings. Work for this project will begin in October. West Brothers Construction employs 50 people in the state of Mississippi.
"Many Mississippi companies are actively bidding with outstanding contractors to secure work on our new vehicle assembly plant," said Jeff Caldwell, Assistant General Manager of Production Engineering at Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc. "Their willingness to form partnerships is encouraging to Toyota and solidifies our commitment to doing business with local companies on this project."
Site preparation will continue into this fall and Toyota will select general contractors for the project through November. At peak construction in summer 2008, approximately 2,000 workers will be on site and the majority of them will be from the local area.
In February, Toyota announced that it had chosen a 1,700-acre site in Blue Springs to build 150,000 Toyota Highlander SUVs annually. The new plant represents a $1.3 billion investment by Toyota that is expected to hire around 2,000 team members. Vehicle production is scheduled to start by 2010. The plant will be named Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Mississippi, Inc. (TMMMS).
Contractors, subcontractors and vendors interested in doing business at TMMMS can visit www.ToyotaSupplier.com.

Which is what happened over the recent Christmas holidays. Thankfully, it wasn't a flare that caused the alteration in my plan...but it was lupus related. Here's what transpired:
A few weeks before Christmas, my sister, my niece Emma, Deirdre and I headed to NYC for a girls' weekend. We went up for just one night, but it was plenty of time to pack in two full days of fun in the Big Apple. Before we left, I knew the nap situation for Deirdre and me would be a little dicey, given the small hotel room we'd reserved. But I promised myself that I would be flexible and just let things happen as they needed to. That is, if the room set-up wasn't ideal for us to both take naps, I wouldn't force the issue. I'd let Deirdre's nap slide, and she, my sister, and my niece could go exploring while I took a nap. Deirdre rallies much better than I do, and although we had a big night ahead of us, I knew Deirdre could make it through. I, on the other hand, needed all the rest I could get.
On the way up, Deirdre was asking what we were going to do once we arrived, and we all kept with the idea that she and I would take a nap, and then we'd meet up with Katie and Emma later. We had a chance of getting upgraded to a suite (at least we were the last two times we stayed at this hotel), and if that was the case, then we'd both be able to nap without a problem. We checked into the hotel, and while there weren't any suites available, they were able to upgraded us to a larger room. Great - still a possibility that the room would be configured to accommodate both of us. (Deirdre doesn't nap so well when she can see others napping. She just thinks it's a big ole slumber party!)
We took the elevator up to the room, opened the door, and I took one look at the room and said to my sister something like "Abort mission...if you don't mind, Deirdre's yours for the afternoon." It was obvious that with two beds side by side, with no partitions at all, napping with the two of us in the room would have been a nightmare. And I could have forced it. I could have encouraged Katie and Emma to go exploring while Deirdre and I had some rest time. I could have rigged the computer so that she could have watched a movie and relaxed, or set her up with some books to calm her down. But you know what? That wouldn't have given me the full rest I needed to make it successfully through the quick up-and-back trip. As it was, we had been up early, we would be up late, and I was going to have to nap during our trip back to D.C. the next day. No - I had very little room for error...and so I made an executive decision. Deirdre would get a pass, and I would get my sleep.
Of course, she was thrilled...and I was lucky. My sister didn't have to offer to take Deirdre off my hands. But she did, and I accepted. Sure, I wish I could have given Deirdee the rest time she needed, but I had to think of myself first. Otherwise, I could have spoiled the whole trip for all of us.
My mother-in-law once told me that babies have a way of knowing what their parents need. I'm positive that sweet little Deirdre knew what I needed that day. She knew I needed rest, but she also knew that I needed her to keep it together. Katie said she was a perfect angel during my nap - as she was the entire rest of the trip. No overtired tantrums, no difficult 3-year-old shenanigans running on fumes...she was just as sweet as can be. Which made it so much easier to know that I did the right thing, and that I might just have to do it again some day.
Of course - at just 3 years old, Deirdre's too young to say, "You owe me one." But I know I do. That's why she's my absolutely positively favorite oldest daughter in the whole world. And you can tell her I said so!

I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

WASHINGTON - Justice Sonia Sotomayor is a proud daughter of New York City, and her adjustment to life in the nation's capital has been rocky. Do not get her started, for instance, on ordering takeout.
''I go to New York, I order food, it's at my door in 10 to 15 minutes. OK?" she said in an interview in her Supreme Court chambers. In Washington, she said, "there isn't a place I call where it doesn't take 45 minutes."
''And then getting the food delivered to the Supreme Court? They've got to stop at security, security has to call you, you've got to go downstairs. By the time you get downstairs you may add another 15 minutes to the 45 minutes. And the food is ice-cold."
There are four justices from New York City these days, each representing a different borough, and it sometimes seems that the court speaks with a New York accent.
Sotomayor, who grew up in the Bronx, recalled getting to know Justice Antonin Scalia, who is from Queens and whose friends call him Nino.
''One day Nino looked at me and said: 'You're a real New Yorker. I love you. You take as well you give,'" she said with a big laugh. "And I understood. You know, we're just out there and up front and fun."
She mentioned a second colleague, Justice Elena Kagan. "I dare say Elena has a little bit of that." Kagan is from Manhattan, and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is more reserved, is from Brooklyn.
''The boroughs are different," Sotomayor said, "and so are we."
The occasion for the chat was the publication of her memoir, "My Beloved World," this week. It is steeped in vivid memories of New York City, and it is an exceptionally frank account of the challenges that Sotomayor faced during her ascent from a public housing project to the court's marble palace on First Street.
Sotomayor turns out to be a writer of depth and literary flair, a surprise to readers of her judicial prose. ("I am a lawyer's judge," she said on hearing the observation. "I write very technically.")
Her chambers are sleek, modern, filled with light and bursting with pottery, art and mementos. There are photographs of her relatives, a group portrait of the four women ever to serve on the Supreme Court and one of Sotomayor with President Barack Obama, who appointed her in 2009.
In a corner, there is a bag overflowing with characters from "Sesame Street," where she has been known to dispense advice. ("Pretending to be a princess is fun, but it is definitely not a career," she said in an appearance on the show in November, offering alternatives: "You can go to school and train to be a teacher, a lawyer, a doctor, an engineer and even a scientist.")
And there is a sign of the sort you might find in the novelty section of a gift shop: "Well-behaved women rarely make history." Sotomayor's book ends in 1992 with her appointment to U.S. District Court in Manhattan. There are only stray references in the memoir to her service there, on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in New York, where she served from 1998 to 2009, and on the Supreme Court.
But her life story, which includes chapters at Princeton, Yale Law School, the Manhattan district attorney's office and private practice as a civil litigator, illuminates her judicial work.
She acknowledged that she entered the Ivy League through "a special door" and that her adjustment was rough.
''I felt like an alien landing in a different universe," she said of her arrival at Princeton.
Her childhood was so urban that she was "known to confuse cows for horses."
''I didn't know what a cricket sounded like," she said.
She was part of a vanguard not always welcomed by the old order. In the book, she recalled letters in The Daily Princetonian "lamenting the presence on campus of 'affirmative action students,' each of whom had presumably displaced a far more deserving affluent white male and could rightly be expected to crash into the gutter built of her own unrealistic aspirations."
''There were vultures circling, ready to dive when we stumbled," she wrote.
She did not stumble. On graduating, she was awarded the Pyne Prize, the university's highest undergraduate award, presented for a combination of academic success and extracurricular work.
Asked if the programs from which she benefited are still needed, she was initially vague, perhaps as a consequence of a pending case about the constitutionality of the University of Texas' affirmative action plan.
''We have to look and ensure that we're paying attention to what we're doing," she said, so "that we don't reflexively institute processes and procedures that exclude people without thought."
Her bottom line, though, was clear.
''We've got a way to go still," she said. "I mean, clearly, we do."
After her second year at law school, Sotomayor spent a summer working at a prominent New York City law firm, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. The vast majority of summer associates at big law firms in those days received offers for full-time jobs, but she did not. She called the experience "a kick in the teeth."
Asked why she chose to discuss the matter, she said: "If I write a book where all I've ever experienced is success, people won't take a positive lesson from it. In being candid, I have to own up to my own failures, both in my marriage and in my work environment." (She married Kevin Noonan, now a biologist and patent lawyer, after graduating from Princeton in 1976. They divorced in 1983.)
Sotomayor's affiliations on the Supreme Court create a complex pattern. She is part of the court's four-member liberal wing, one of its three women, one of its three Yale Law graduates and one of its four New Yorkers. She is also one of its six Catholics.
But she said her experience with Catholic education, at Blessed Sacrament School and Cardinal Spellman High School, was mixed.
''It was a different time and a different generation that believed love was discipline," she said. "Nuns and priests, like every other human being, are products of their environments. I was alien to the nuns and priests, too, because none of them were minorities."
These days, she said, her faith is not entirely conventional.
''I am a very spiritual person," she said, though "maybe not traditionally religious in terms of Sunday Mass every week, that sort of thing."
''The trappings are not important to me," she said, "but, yes, I do believe in God. And, yes, I do believe in the commandments. And, yes, I do believe in their message of 'thou shalt not kill,' 'thou shalt not steal' and the rest of it."
Sotomayor said she started to make her peace with life in Washington after "eight months of grieving." She recalled a morning drive down Rock Creek Parkway that allowed her to see the city fresh.
''I thought to myself, 'This is a really beautiful city,'" she said. "It's a very different life than New York. The pace is really different, and for the breakneck speed at which you live in New York, this could be a little slow at times."
She has moved to a scruffy part of town, near U Street in Northwest Washington.
''It has a touch of the East Village in it," she said. "I picked it because it's mixed. I walk out and I see all kinds of people, which is the environment I grew up in and the environment I love."
In her book, she confesses that she does not always observe the letter of the law.
''I'm a New Yorker," she wrote, "and I jaywalk with the best of them."

Fantasy Beat
Budget Allocations and Pitching-Staff Outcomes
Last week, we reviewed how the experts split their money in the LABR and ToutWars auctions in 2012. While the winners each spent at least 30 percent of their budget on pitching, other teams that spent even more did much worse while some who spent less nearly won the league.
The next step is seeing the theory in action. In a perfect world, the totals needed for each of the categories would be rather stable so we could accurately forecast exactly what we would need to finish within the top three spots of each category at season's end. Since fantasy baseball is never that perfect, we are forced to use the most recent history.
The final standings from the 15-team Mixed ToutWars league are cleanly preserved for us on the OnRoto site. MLB.com's Cory Schwartz easily won the league, placing in the top three in five of the 10 categories and securing a top-five spot in all but one of the rest. The table below shows what was needed to finish a tick above second place in each category, as well as what it took to capture third place.
We learned last week that each of the winners in the LABR and ToutWars leagues spent at least 30 percent of their auction budget on pitching. What we did not see is what that kind of pitching staff would look like on paper, statistically, coming out of the auction. Using the player projection data and auction values from our Player Forecast Manager, we can piece together a pitching staff based on set dollar amounts to see what kind of pitching staff one could put together in a vacuum, assuming everyone held to the same dollar amounts. (Note that the ratios below are approximations, rather than exact computations.)
The 75/25 split:
This pitching staff would have finished no higher than eighth place in any one category. While a team that spends 75 percent of its budget on hitters may have a very strong offense, it has shortcomings that must be addressed during the season either via free agency or trade.
The 70/30 split:
This team would have finished in the middle of the pack across the board, which is not a bad outcome, provided that the offense met or exceeded each of its categorical benchmarks.
The 65/35 split
Note that the final totals for the 65/35 split are not that different from those in the 70/30 split. When teams use a 65/35 approach, they tend to chase a few of the biggest names available. Verlander and Darvish fit that bill as starters, and Kimbrel is the best reliever, according the PFM. But, in order to acquire that trio, owners must spend $72 of the $91 that they have budgeted, leaving just $19 to be used toward the other six members of the staff.
Much like we saw in last week's article, who you spend your money on is much more important than the amount that you allocate.

Your 65/35 roster just highlights a (common) poor allocation of resources. What do we get if we optimize the results by spreading Kimbrel's money to 2 closers and using the money spent on Verlander and Darvish to get 3-4 SP?
Feb 26, 2013 04:59 AM

The short answer is, nothing. With a properly designed value system, once you meet the minimum threshold for points in a category (which in saves, is usually around zero) each $2 spent gives another point, regardless of the player.
Feb 26, 2013 05:58 AM
Are these last year's auction prices? Matt Moore for $5, Shields for $9 and even Price for $24 are a good $5-10 less than I've seen anywhere
Feb 26, 2013 07:52 AM
There's some major flaws in this. First, how many 28+ save closers have there been in recent years with a 5+ ERA, on playoff teams nonetheless?

Good not great pizza. Dough made offsite and they put on clean plate to go through oven rather than on rack. Toppings pretty clear so obvious they don't contain gluten. GF pizzas are 12". Friendly service - nice to change tv to a football game we cared about
They did not know how to handle gluten free options. "Only the crust is gluten free" was the answer I got when I asked about gluten free pizza.
Awesome pizza, great service, and we are a picky group!
Not the best pizza but they have a dedicated menu and deliver.
7340 N Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80920
Their GF pizza crust was thick and tasted like frozen pizza.
407 Mandalay Ave, Clearwater, FL 33767
Great GF pizza & Omission beer. Ate here 3 times in the weekend we visited & bought a bucket of beer to go for the beach. Staff was knowledgeable and checked everything with the kitchen.
200 N Main St, Breckenridge, CO 80424
We ate here on 8/23/17 with our son who is Celiac, and we all had a fantastic experience. We all are the GF pizza and agreed it was the best we had ever had! The rice-based crust is incredible. Our server was highly knowledgeable about gluten and cross-contamination (her mother is Celiac, too), and she did a great job explaining how the GF pizza is prepared. We'd highly recommend this place while visiting Breck!!

One of the best GF pizzas that I've eaten since being diagnosed with Celiacs! The ingredients were fresh and the crust/sauce was delicious. When I told them about my allergy, the waiter got the owner and he spoke with me, ensuring my allergy was the top priority. That's amazing service!!

Really good gf pizza and terrific salads.

Our gluten free Pizza was excellent, staff was aware of celiac and the precautions to take

Saw the place here, when we arrived the menu mentioned the gluten free crust multiple times so we were very excited. Tried to order it and they said they were sold out. Strange for something advertised so prominently. waitress also forgot another whole pizza. I ran out to get my daughter some gluten free food and bring it back so she wouldn't feel left out and could eat with us.

Called to make sure they actually served gluten free and the manager assured me I would not get sick& they had a separate preparation area. Get there only for him to say it would be a risk for me to eat it since they only wipe down the counters. At least they paid for our drinks.

Gluten free crust, vegan cheese, separate ovens, separate utensils, and knowledgeable staff.
1419 S Fern St, Arlington, VA 22202
The gluten free crust is delicious. Be sure to confirm all the toppings on your pizza are gluten free.
407 Mandalay Ave, Clearwater, FL 33767
Excellent pizza. I've lived in DC, San Diego and Vegas- and this is the best gf crust I've ever had. Zero stomachache from the pizza. Win! Not sure if safe for celiacs, but safe for people with wheat allergies. They also have Omission beer. If you can have that, all the better.
200 N Main St, Breckenridge, CO 80424
Best gluten free pizza we've had! They were even able to do half and half so we didn't have to order two deprecate pizzas like many places due to pre-made nature. Would definitely recommend!

GF pizzas are cooked in the same oven as wheat dough pizzas without separate tray. Ended up ordering salads instead to try to avoid cross- contamination. Disappointing. (Also attached to some strange sideshow attraction zoo thing. Very strange.)

Pizza was very good and they use special cooking utensils.
407 Mandalay Ave, Clearwater, FL 33767
Excellent crust and overall great pizza! Service was excellent too 😃

Worst gf pizza I have ever eaten.
7340 N Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80920
It's hard to find good gf pizza so when they told me $25 I hesitated but decided to give it a try. Not worth the price. The crust is soggy and the toppings and sauce have no flavor. To top it off they forgot to bring the parmesan and crushed pepper I requested.
200 N Main St, Breckenridge, CO 80424
Our son is asymptomatic celiac so it's always hard to judge a place. However, we feel our son was very well accommodated. Or server Aaron did an amazing job! He made sure they cleaned up an area to work on our son's pizza, that it was cooked on a pan and had it covered with foil to reduce cross contamination. Our son said the crust was super good as well. My advice would be that if you are celiac, avoid busy times (which we always do anyway) and give this place a try!
1310 Celebrity Cir, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
A very friendly staff plus their pizza is amazing! My kids enjoyed their traditional crust and my husband and I had their gluten free crust and I can honestly say its the best gluten free crust we have ever had!
407 Mandalay Ave, Clearwater, FL 33767
Very knowledgable, great crust and fantastic choice of toppings so what with really cool server makes for five stars !
1310 Celebrity Cir, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
Two out of four of us dining there are celiac. Pizza was excellent gf. No reactions. Server advised they take gf seriously. Already went back a second time on this vacation and likely two more times before leaving. Clean. Best gf pizza I had and was 12" so lots to enjoy. Only about $3.00 more for gf.
1888 Northwest 188th Avenue, Hillsboro, OR 97006
Nicest people ever. I ordered (by phone) pizza for the celiac family and wings for my gluten eating husband. The manager called me back to be sure we wouldn't be eating the wings and went to great lengths to keep everything separate. So kind!
407 Mandalay Ave, Clearwater, FL 33767
Probably the best gluten free pizza I've had! I ordered a personal cheese with ricotta...yum. The bartender had great knowledge of Celiac disease and we had a long conversation about it! She was able to recommend lots of gluten free drinks for me too! Highly recommend
407 Mandalay Ave, Clearwater, FL 33767
I was excited to try this place as it came highly recommended on the app. The pizza was good and the crust was crispy. However, I got sick :( ordered the bigger pizza for leftovers too. $20 pizza and it all went in the garbage
407 Mandalay Ave, Clearwater, FL 33767
Excellent gluten free crust and a huge variety of toppings. Highly recommend it!

I have celiac disease and had an extreme reaction after eating their gf pizza. I suspect that this kitchen has some cross contamination. I almost had to go to the hospital.
1310 Celebrity Cir, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
I had the best pizza since celiac diagnosis. Great menu with many pizza choices. I had the Pandora's Box pizza with artichoke hearts, spinach, fresh basil, sundried tomatoes, feta, mozzarella, garlic and oregano. The staff and manager were wonderful. I went with four of my gluten eating friends and we all loved it and can't wait to return! Two had regular crust pizzas and two had different types of calzones. It is a nice, clean, friendly restaurant with plenty of tables inside and outside with great food on the lagoon at Broadway at the Beach.
1140 Exposition Boulevard #200, Sacramento, CA 95815
Pleasantly surprised by this small casual place near Costco. The GF only comes in one size large enough for 3. The staff was knowledgeable enough to suggest avoiding sausage and meatballs and as a result of their diligence I didn't get sick. Pizza was good, but the crust steamed on the pan and was a bit soggy after the first piece or two.
200 N Main St, Breckenridge, CO 80424
They have a delicious GF pizza crust and the server notified the kitchen I was a celiac so to please make sure the cooking surface was cleaned. It was good and had no reactions.
1419 S Fern St, Arlington, VA 22202
Reasonable price, had no issues with cross-contamination.
407 Mandalay Ave, Clearwater, FL 33767
Really delicious- great pizza - stuff very friendly and to a good price
407 Mandalay Ave, Clearwater, FL 33767
Best GF crust ever & I've tried many! A little thicker than normal GF & crispy. Available in two sizes. Waitress came out three times after I placed my order to check/verify ingredients with me. Hope to return before I head home. Other 3 family members liked their normal pizza just as much.
104 Vintage Way A9, Novato, CA 94945
Have both ordered delivery from this location AND dined in. Always delicious, never sick. I actually called to thank the manager for providing a product that was safe for us to eat AND tasted great!
3700 San Pablo Avenue, Hercules, CA 94547
Was a super busy night everyone was waiting an hour and a half to 2 hours for a pizza, we came from 6 flags and was starving for their lack of gf options, drove 15 minutes here, not the best crust for gf but the staff assures us they bake and cut it in a separate pan, overall the crust was crispy thin style if ur starving a good fairly safe place to eat
407 Mandalay Ave, Clearwater, FL 33767
we ate here twice while in Clearwater. The staff is great and very friendly. the gluten free pizza is absolutely delicious. Nice atmosphere as well.
11653 West Broad Street, Henrico, VA 23233
great gluten free pizza but they wouldn't let me use the Entertainment Book ecoupon
3204 College Avenue, Berkeley, CA 94705
My daughter has Celiac and all the Extreme Pizzas I have been to have been knowledgeable and helpful.
1730 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA 94115
I had the bunny slope (no goat cheese). The pizza was delicious and I liked the GF crust. the price was insane, 28$ no drinks .... but my friend and I shared so it wasn't bad. good food, the GF is pricy
11653 West Broad Street, Henrico, VA 23233
Average gf pizza, customer service leaves something to be desired. Like previous reviews, place is very overpriced for product. In this area, CPK has better tasting gf pizza for much less money.
1888 Northwest 188th Avenue, Hillsboro, OR 97006
I have celiac disease so I was nervous about trying the gluten free pizza. I grilled the person taking my order over the phone. They work hard to minimize the risk of cross contamination. I enjoyed the LARGE gluten free pizza. I've eaten here twice and will eat here again.
851 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94600
Delivery was almost on time, but having delivery is a huge + It is very tasty gf pizza. The salads are fresh, quality greens and good sizes for the price. We were so happy to not have to go out and find a gf restaurant.
407 Mandalay Ave, Clearwater, FL 33767
They had the best gluten free pizza I have even eaten! The crust was very tasty and the waiters are very quick on their feet. We got our meal in 20 minutes of sitting down. The gluten free pizza is $20 for a medium.
1140 Exposition Boulevard #200, Sacramento, CA 95815
I ordered their gluten free pizza with railroad grade toppings. It was a thicker crust...surprised me because most gluten free crusts are so thin. Only problem was that it soaked up the pizza sauce and tasted almost dry. Next time I will ask for extra sauce. Otherwise it was good and I didn't get sick!
7340 N Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80920
They have changed their crust in the last couple of years and it isn't nearly as good. I have gotten ill the last couple of times we ate here so sadly we don't dine here anymore. And it used to be our favorite.
1062 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
seriously this is the only gf pizza that delivers and is edible. I've had hit or miss with others types of pizza, but the gluten free raging rooster is their best, never a miss on this type!
201 North Market Street, Wilmington, DE 19801
GF pizza was available, but the quality was very low. My daughter has celiac and could barely finish a slice. Those of us who were non GF were also Extremely disappointed in the quality of the food. Decent place to go for a drink but I would not recommend eating here to anyone GF or not.
1062 Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
Hit and miss! I've had 3 gf pizzas in total from Extreme. First was delicious, and no reactions, second two were not the best and neither was my stomach after. Perhaps cross contamination needs to be looked into and consistency in the pizza. Shame as I thought first time I was going to be a customer for life.
7340 N Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80920
I am not sure what the last two reviewers are on about. I can't stand the Udi's crust that most pizza places use (like Domino's). This was considerably better. I wouldn't say its the best GF crust I have had (which was in Portland) but it's far better than the average fair.
7900 Shelbyville Rd, Louisville, KY 40222
They have an allergen list posted on the glass of the food preparation area, listing all of the pitas and their allergens. However this does not mean you can get an allergen-free pita. You can only get the ingredients of the pita in a salad. Too bad the sign doesn't say this and the employees were even confused.
851 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94600
I'm not entirely convinced there's no cross contamination here, but it's one of the better GF delivery pizza services around. Occasionally it's worth the risk if you're feeling lazy at home
