Western Front
They Took Their Turn
Nine teams in MLB history have had five pitchers make 30 or more starts in a season. Two of them faced each other in the 2012 NLDS. How have previous teams that accomplished this feat fared the previous and following seasons?
Good question. Let's look.
1977 Dodgers
*GS5 is the number of games started by the team's top five starters. Pct is GS5 divided by the total number of games played by the team (usually 162).
This was a consistent group. Alston and Lasorda used the same five guys for three straight years, with a dash of Bob Welch thrown in at the end.
Others: Bobby Castillo (1), Al Downing (1), Charlie Hough (1), Dennis Lewallyn (1)
When we think of durable rotations, John, Rau, and Rhoden don't immediately leap to mind, but there they are. John, in his second year back after undergoing the experimental surgery that now bears his name, won 20 games. Each of the others won at least 12. Hooton was low-man in that category; he also was the only one to work a game in relief, picking up a save in his lone appearance out of the bullpen. These guys not only pitched when asked, they did so effectively.
As a side note, Dusty Baker started in left field for this team. He also managed last year's Reds. It is perhaps less surprising to see Baker ride his starting pitchers hard when we consider that he spent years watching Lasorda do the same.
The 1978 Dodgers repeated as NL champs. They had four pitchers make 30 or more starts—the same guys from the year before except Rhoden, who made 23 starts (he also was the odd man out in 1976, making just 26 starts). Rookie Welch made all of the team's other 13 starts. Every member of the rotation saw his effectiveness decrease from the previous season. Hooton was terrific again, while the others (except Welch in his limited appearances) were just okay.
Everyone remembers the Dodgers infield from that era, but the same five pitchers missed just 23 starts over a three-year period. This is no small accomplishment, especially given that one of them was returning from a potentially career-ending injury.
1980 A's
Martin clearly had a different philosophy than his predecessor. He achieved remarkable success with it, although at a cost. But then, pretty much everything Martin did came with a cost.
Others: Dave Hamilton (1), Bob Lacey (1), Craig Minetto (1)
Martin took a terrible team and made it his own. This is the most recent of 22 teams in MLB history to have five pitchers work 200 or more innings. Before the 1980 A's, you have to go all the way back to... well, the 1977 Dodgers. But before that, the last team to do it was the 1957 Tigers. Then six teams did it in the 1920s, five more in the 1910s, seven in the 1900s, and on back to the 1898 Reds.
A's starters pitched 94 complete games in 1980, mainly because Martin didn't trust his bullpen. Only two men made more than 20 relief appearances, and "closer" Lacey notched six saves. Langford, the most efficient member of the rotation, has expressed no regrets at being worked so hard.
Still, it is interesting to note the difference between each pitcher's performance through 1980 and their performance after:
These guys were all between 24 and 28 years old in 1980, theoretically in their primes. Sure, McCatty won the AL ERA title in 1981, but this is not a pretty picture.
Starters accounted for nearly 86 percent of Oakland's innings, much higher than the AL average of 71 percent that year. The A's got an inning more per game out of their starters than the AL's next-most heavily-used rotation, Jim Frey's AL champion Kansas City Royals.
1993 Dodgers
Lasorda liked to ride his starters in the '70s. Nothing much had changed in the '90s except the names.
Others: Pedro Martínez (2)
There goes Lasorda again. The only reason 1992's totals are so low is that the Rodney King riots forced the Dodgers to play four doubleheaders in six days. When they recalled Pedro Astacio to make a spot start in the second game on July 3 (one of the strangest games I've attended in terms of atmosphere), Astacio tossed a three-hit shutout and stayed in the rotation.
As for the 1993 Dodgers, they posted the worst regular-season record of our nine teams. This is the "Guys You Forgot Were Dodgers" team: Tim Wallach, Eric Davis, Brett Butler, Cory Snyder, Roger McDowell.
They also had a kid named Pedro Martínez who helped McDowell set up Jim Gott in the bullpen. Lasorda didn't think Martínez could handle a starter's workload (and when we consider Lasorda's definition of a starter's workload, there is a certain logic in his thinking) and shipped him to Montreal for Delino Deshields after the season.
The men in this rotation were durable in general. Astacio and Gross are card-carrying members of Innings Eaters of America. Candiotti was a knuckleballer. Hershiser wasn't the perennial Cy Young Award threat that he had been before his arm fell off in 1990 but still managed to take his turn for several more years. Similar sentiments apply to Ramón Martínez, whose younger brother's career may have been saved by Lasorda's lack of faith in him (nobody got to see what would happen if Pedro had to throw 234 1/3 innings at age 22, as Ramón did).
2003 Mariners
Our first fluke season is also the most spectacular, as Melvin's moundsmen didn't miss a start all year. His team achieved the exact same record as his predecessor's a year earlier, so getting 31 extra starts out of his main five guys didn't help much.
Others: none
This is the last team to use only five starters in a season. By comparison, last year's Padres used three times as many.
Before the 2003 Mariners, we have to go back to the days of the four-man rotation to find a team that made it through a season with only five starters. That would be the 1966 Dodgers, which featured Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Claude Osteen, Sutton, and "fifth starter" Joe Moller. They were swept by the Orioles in the World Series, in case you're wondering.
Before that? Well, there were the 1901 Washington Senators, led by Doughnut Bill Carrick; 1901 Boston Beaneaters, led by Kid Nichols; and the 1904 Boston Americans, led by 37-year-old Cy Young (Bill Dinneen was a member of both Boston rotations).
Anyway, a century later, Melvin landed his first managerial gig and stumbled into the most durable starting rotation in big-league history. Remarkable when you consider what he'd inherited.
García was a workhorse in those days, so no surprise there. And then-40-year-old Moyer, who won 20 games for the second time in his career, doesn't count because he's baseball's version of the cockroach—in a good way, of course.
But Melvin got career highs in starts and innings from Franklin, who broke 100 IP just four times in career and made a permanent move to the bullpen in 2006. Meche was returning from two shoulder surgeries that caused him to miss all of the previous two seasons. Piñeiro established career highs in starts, innings, and wins. He has made 30 or more starts in just three of his 10 full seasons.
2005 Cardinals
The worst of these three teams in terms of rotation durability and wins is the one that brought home a championship. Baseball is funny that way.
Others: Cal Eldred (1), Anthony Reyes (1)
The 2005 Cardinals had the best regular-season record of teams studied. This also marked the first time in history that two teams accomplished the feat in the same season.
Two years removed from shoulder surgery, Carpenter set career highs in pretty much everything. Suppan and Morris were innings pigs by this point, with Marquis about to follow a similar path, taking over for the soon-to-be-finished Mulder (after averaging 30 starts in each of his first six seasons, he would work just 106 more innings in his career).
2005 Indians
Like the 2003 Mariners, this rotation was something of a fluke. It's by far the most stable of Wedge's managerial career.
Others: Jason Davis (4)
Westbrook's most similar pitcher at Baseball-Reference is Piñeiro. You know about Lee and Sabathia: both would later win the AL Cy Young Award in Cleveland before making bank elsewhere. Sabathia also is listed at 140 pounds heavier than a guy nicknamed Doughnut, which is all kinds of awesome.
Millwood won the ERA title. No, I'm not kidding; look it up. Other than that, he's exactly the kind of pitcher we'd expect to find here. He averaged 31 starts and 189 innings a year from 1998 to 2010.
The surprise is Elarton, who has made more than 25 starts in a season just three times in his career and qualified for the ERA title twice. He missed all of 2002 recovering from shoulder surgery and generally hasn't been healthy or effective since. Elarton posted a 5.41 ERA at Triple-A Lehigh Valley last season, so of course the Twins jumped all over that, signing him in December.
Like many of the other rotations we've examined so far, this one featured at least one surprise. The '77 Dodgers had John, the '03 Mariners had Meche, and the '05 Indians had Elarton. At the time, none of those pitchers would have been considered reasonable candidates to be part of anyone's durable rotation. (Though, with the benefit of hindsight, John might have qualified.)
Wedge used the same top three in 2006. Paul Byrd replaced Elarton and was essentially the same pitcher, while Jeremy Sowers and Jason Johnson split Millwood's duties but did not come close to matching his performance.
2006 White Sox
This was a remarkable three-year run, not unlike those of the '76-'78 and '92-'94 Dodgers. Four of the five from '05 returned in '06, and four of the five from '06 did likewise in '07. The only guys outside that core were 39-year-old Orlando Hernández in 2005 and 22-year-old John Danks in 2007.
Others: Brandon McCarthy (2), Charlie Haeger (1)
García and Garland were still in their 20s, when both pitched often and well. If you ever wanted to see the definition of a pitcher aging badly, you could do worse than to look at these two.
García pitches about half as often and not as well as he once did:
Garland just plain broke. He made 33 starts at age 30 and 9 at age 31. All done.
Meanwhile, 2006 is the year Buehrle stunk and folks wondered if his inability to put the ball past hitters had finally caught up to him. Nope, he just had a lousy season. Buehrle is the active leader in seasons pitching 200 or more innings, with 12 (that's more than Jim Palmer, Juan Marichal, and several other Hall of Famers). Actually, he has done it every time he has spent a full year in the big leagues. Not bad for a 38th-round pick.
Vázquez, as was his wont, ate innings. So did Contreras, who made his first and only All-Star team. This rotation, unlike some of the others here, was built to last. These guys were all durable. It's always a surprise when an entire rotation stays healthy all year, but it's somewhat less so when the big risk is Contreras than when it's Meche or Elarton.
Also, the difference between '06 and '07 is interesting. Guillén had the same core rotation, but his offense disappeared, scoring 175 fewer runs. Keeping your starting pitchers off the disabled list is a good feature of winning teams, but you can't back that with the league's worst offense and expect positive results.
Finally, you may notice that García started for the 2003 Mariners. He is the only guy to show up in two different rotations. You want him on your team. Right, Padres?
2012 Giants
This is a nice start. Especially that whole winning the World Series thing.
Others: Eric Hacker (1), Yusmeiro Petit (1)
Finally, we have our first World Series champions. Cain is a horse who has worked between 217 and 223 innings every year from 2008 to 2012, so no surprise there. Bumgarner broke 200 innings for the second time in his career, at age 22. Scary, right? Maybe, maybe not. Here are the 10 pitchers before Bumgarner to work at least as many innings (534) as he had by that age:
I count two guys whose careers ended prematurely (Bonderman, Avery), two Hall of Famers (Eckersley, Blyleven), and six who enjoyed—or are enjoying—fine careers.
Meanwhile, Vogelsong slipped from his surprising 2011 campaign but was still solid. The former Cy Young Award winners, Lincecum and Zito, not so much.
2012 Reds
As noted earlier, Baker played under Lasorda, which may or may not be significant. Two other Baker-led teams just missed our list: The 2002 Giants (Jason Schmidt made 29 starts) and the 2003 Cubs (Shawn Estes made 28).
In a shade more than 3,000 career games, Baker has gotten about 83 percent of starts from his big five, although that number has fluctuated over time. From 1993 to 1997, it was 77 percent. From 1998 to 2003, 91 percent. And from 2004 to 2011, back down to around 79 percent.
Others: Todd Redmond (1)
Redmond kept the Reds from becoming the second team ever to get all 162 starts from five pitchers. He worked 3 1/3 innings in his big-league debut in the second game of a doubleheader on August 18.
Cueto exceeded his previous career high in innings pitched by 31, Latos did the same by 15, Bailey by 76, Leake by 11.
Arroyo? He does this every year; he has averaged 33 starts and 212 innings over the past eight seasons.
Ted Berg notes on Twitter that Bryan Price was the pitching coach for this team and the 2003 Mariners. Price will have his work cut out for him trying to coax 30 starts out of Aroldis Chapman.
* * *
So, what does this all look like? The last thing this article needs is another table, but here's the average three-year profile of the teams we've examined:
Teams got 20 more starts out of their main five and nine more wins in the season studied than in the preceding season. The 2004 Cardinals and 2005 White Sox are the only playoff teams from Season -1. Both got more than 150 starts out of their big five, both went to the World Series. The other team to get more than 150 starts in Season -1 was the 1976 Dodgers, who won 92 games.
Season +1 includes two strike-shortened seasons (1981 A's, 1994 Dodgers). As a group these teams did much worse the year after their durable rotation season. The 1978 Dodgers made it to the World Series, while the 2006 Cardinals won it despite winning 17 fewer games during the regular season.
What does all of this mean for the Giants and Reds? There aren't a lot of teams to study, but we can make a few observations:

Geoff, The article about the A's pitchers always trying to throw complete games under Billy Martin doesn't at all look into the idea of pitch efficiency. When the pitchers talk about getting thru a complete game in about 130-140 pitches, that works out to about 15 pitches an inning. Take a look at Halladay's efficiency numbers when he completes a game, you'll find similar results. I firmly believe it is wrong to look at cumulative pitches thrown. Pitches per inning is much more important and the "magic number" is somewhere in the vicinity of 15. One hundred fifty pitches seems awful these days, but the first question that should be asked is... "did he go ten innings?"

It does so superficially, with regard to Langford's usage, which was what I had mentioned. Here's the relevant quote:

Sorry, I didn't state my point as eloquently as I might have preferred. The sentence you quoted was exactly the one I used to make my 130-140 range. However, the tone of the article (and generally all conversations regarding "sissy pitchers who can't finish games like they used to") is that innings are all that matters. We don't have the pitch count data we'd like to have from that era, so I don't know if they were completing games in 135 pitches. I do know that if you could finish a game in 130 today, you probably should do so.

So I had to see the hub-bub. Watched three ads...hmmmm. They're ok, not great, but fine. Seen better and worse. Not gripping or challenging.
That being said, people are such "baby cats" (can I say pussies?). When will the "Romper Rooms" be ready for the general public? Apparently everyone must love everything, no one can be offended, do not dare make me think and let us all make decisions based upon quick, knee-jerk reactions resulting in greater and greater mob mentalities.
Since our society already shuns anyone that references a genius level IQ (see resume etiquette...apparently), I'm guessing this made too many people feel...ahhhhh "shoot"...feel something...
It was a stupid commercial.
A "Genius" giving advice on doing very basic things...
"Genius" should never been part of the commercial, when a "Genius" doing genius things it would go over most people's head thus waste of valuable commercial time. Should just go back and show how pretty our products are commercial.
Probably wouldn't have been so bad if they had different Geniuses instead of using the same guy in each ad...making it seem like he's always "Genius-ready" at home at 4am or on an Airplane.

- How to Read a Study Record
|HIV Infections
|Drug: AL 721
|Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|An Open Label, Multiple Dose Ranging Trial of AL721 in Patients With Persistent Generalized Lymphadenopathy and Symptomatic HIV Infection
|Estimated Enrollment:
Although zidovudine (AZT) prolongs life in certain AIDS patients, it is not a cure for AIDS and it also has toxic effects in many patients. Therefore, it is necessary to test other drugs in HIV-infected patients. AL-721 is a mixture of lipids (fats) extracted from egg yolks. Laboratory tests suggest that it might inhibit the infectivity of the HIV. AL-721 has been tried so far in a few patients for short periods of time and has been found to be well tolerated.
Patients receive AL-721 twice daily. The first dose is taken on an empty stomach 1 hour before a fat-free breakfast, with specific instructions given on foods that are allowed; the second dose is taken at least 3 hours after the evening meal. No snacks are permitted after the evening meal or after the evening dose of study medication. The study is scheduled to last for 16 weeks of treatment and 4 weeks of follow-up. Throughout the study, frequent blood samples will be taken from an arm vein. The blood samples are studied to evaluate any changes in the patient's immune system, any toxic effects that might be detected in the blood, and any changes in the presence of the HIV in the blood.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 60 Years (Adult)

I was about as biased as one could be watching that game, but I fail to see how anyone can say he played a "good" game.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
He threw two picks, and as others have said it would have been 5 if not for Ray Lewis tipping those passes.
I have no problem admitting sometimes its better to be lucky then good, but I fail to see how anyone can say he played a good game yesterday.
As for the Ravens making him look bad, they do that to everyone, but at the end of the day all that matters is you won.

TROWBRIDGE based independent financial adviser Brian Hill has been voted number one in Wiltshire by his clients.
Mr Hill, 44, of Hilperton, also appeared in the top 200 Rated Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs) in the UK and his achievement was announced in The Times.
He was selected after local clients reviewed and rated his services on consumer ratings website VouchedFor.co.uk. The site enables people looking for financial advice to find a recommended IFA. You can search for an adviser free of charge based on location and services provided.
Mr Hill, who has worked at Jones Hill in Trowbridge for nearly eight years, said: "There are over 20,000 independent financial advisers in the UK so I'm thrilled to have been voted number one in Wiltshire. What makes it even more special is that I've been selected thanks to my clients. It means a lot that they've gone out of their way to support me and I'd like to thank them all."
Mr Hill moved to Trow-bridge in 2006 after marrying his independent financial advisor wife Lisa, who has worked at Jones Hill since 1995. He joined the company as a mortgage advisor before he became an independent financial advisor five years ago.
He said: "While talking about how to look after your money isn't 'sexy', with the recent negative press about pension charges and underachieving pension funds, I am offering a free 'pension health check' to anyone who wants to establish whether their pension could be working harder.
"Financial advice is all about reducing unnecessary charges or poorly performing funds to make sure you make the most out of money and aren't left short of funds in retirement or on a rainy day."

SNOOKER ace Ali Carter has been diagnosed with a form of lung cancer.
Ali, 34, from Chelmsford, will now undergo an intensive course of chemotherapy.
Carter, a two-time World Snooker Championship runner-up, also suffers from Crohn's disease and last year recovered from testicular cancer to resume his career.
The world number 13 was beaten by eventual champion Mark Selby in the second round of this year's event.
Jason Ferguson, the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association chairman, said: "Ali is the toughest competitor I know and having spoken to him over the last few days I can assure everyone he has the fight to get through the battle ahead."
World champion Mark Selby said on Twitter: "Gutted to hear the news about Ali Carter. My thoughts go out to him and his family at this tough time."
Meanwhile, six-time World Championship runner-up Jimmy White added: "Absolutely gutted for Ali, praying for you mate."
Carter had been due to play today in Gloucester, in qualifying stages for the Wuxi Classic tournament, but has now pulled out.
Ali is a three-time ranking tournament winner. He won the 2009 Welsh Open, 2010 Shanghai Masters and 2013 German Masters.
He but lost to fellow Essex potter Ronnie O'Sullivan in each of his Crucible finals, in 2008 and 2012.

Recently—although it now seems impossibly remote—I was lounging on the back of a boat in the Pacific. A friend from New Mexico, now a boat captain in Hawaii, leaned over and said in a low, rapt voice, "I think they're going to let us do a blue-water swim."
I've spent many years of my life in coastal places, but I'm sure I looked back at her with utter confusion.
"The water is so clear—there's no pollution, no algae, nothing—that it's perfectly blue," she explained. "You can open your eyes underwater, and it doesn't hurt at all."
Sure enough, the captain, a friend of hers, stopped the boat. We were out in the middle of the ocean, bobbing in a way that made our high-powered craft seem tiny. My friend and I dove in before he could finish explaining (to the paying customers) what a blue-water swim was. I just wanted to see that ocean: pure, perfect blue, just as my friend had described it. I dove—eyes open—as deep as I could into the seemingly endless abyss of color. It was silent and magical.
Back on the boat, zooming toward Maui and, eventually, home, I tried to imagine how I would explain what I'd just experienced. "Blue" doesn't touch the color of that water, and "magical" is a poor approximation of the feeling it evokes.
As it turns out, I needed a situation, not a set of words. On the way to work one morning, I looked up, and there it was: that same perfect blue, beckoning with ethereal endlessness from the big New Mexico sky.
It's easy to call Santa Fe what it sometimes is—a small town, a tourist trap, a hodgepodge of fake adobe and low graduation rates and dubious views on the harmful effects of normal things like cell phones. But it's also stunningly beautiful. In these pages, you'll find lots of suggestions for enjoying your summer in Santa Fe. And if you do nothing else, stop for a few minutes to gaze up at that magnificent blue sky.

About Adidas
History and background of Adidas. In 1925, in a small German village, the world got it's first taste of Adidas. It was there, in a village by the name of Herzogenaurach, located 12 miles to the north and the west of Nuremberg, that those simple three stripes were brought to life by adidas' founder, Adolf "Adi" Dassler. Adi created adidas after realizing the need for performance athletic shoes. Read more about Adidas

Hankook Award-Winning Conceptual Tires
To use an egregious pun. . .Hankook Tire designers are on a roll.

To use an egregious pun. . .Hankook Tire designers are on a roll.
So far this year they have received trophies in the International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA), the Red Dot Design Award competition, and the iF Design Award.
The most recent, the IDEA 2104 award in the transportation category, was for two concept tires, the Tiltread and the eMembrane, which were designed with students from the University of Cincinnati's industrial design department.
The Tiltread (left, above) is based on a three partitioned non-pneumatic tires and automatic tilting system. The idea is that the setup will allow high-performance vehicles to corner more readily.
The other concept tire, eMembrane, uses shape memory alloys so that the contact ratio of the tire changes depending on driving speed. That is, when driving at low speeds, the tread is narrower, thereby providing reduced rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency. When at high speeds, the tire patch is wider to help maximize grip.
Funny thing: no matter how many concept tires there are, it always seems that those used on production vehicles look like. . .tires.

Chicken and Asparagus with Curry Sauce
(Makes 4-6 servings, recipe adapted from Taste of Home Casserole Cookbook.)
4-5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 T olive oil
1 tsp. poultry seasoning to season chicken before sauteeing (I use Penzeys)
fresh ground black pepper to season chicken before sauteeing
1 lb. fresh asparagus
1 can cream of chicken soup (preferably Campbells, not low fat or low sodium)
1/2 cup low fat sour cream (don't use fat free sour cream with added sugar)
1/4 cup mayo (don't use fat free mayo with added sugar)
2 tsp. sweet curry powder (or less to taste) (I used Penzey's sweet curry powder)
2 T fresh lemon juice (or less to taste)
Trim all visible fat and tendons from chicken breasts, season both sides with poultry seasoning and fresh ground black pepper, and saute in olive oil until well browned on both sides.
While chicken cooks, cut asparagus into 2 inch pieces. (Hold one piece by the ends and snap to see where the woody stem is, then trim all pieces to that length and then into 2 inch pieces.) Put asparagus into salted water to cover, then bring to a boil. Take off heat immediately as soon as it comes to a boil and drain well.
When chicken is browned, remove from pan and deglaze pan with 1 T water and lemon juice. Turn heat to very low and add soup, then whisk in curry powder and cook 3-4 minutes. Whisk in sour cream and mayo and heat but do not let it come to a boil.
Cut chicken crosswise into 3/4 inch pieces and place in bottom of casserole dish. Chicken should completely cover the bottom of the dish; if it doesn't use a smaller size casserole dish. Put blanched asparagus in a layer over chicken.
Pour sauce over chicken and asparagus. Bake at 400F for 30-40 minutes, or until casserole is bubbly and top is slightly browned. Serve hot.
I doubled the recipe and made this in a big 15 X 10 glass casserole dish, but I'm giving you the recipe for a standard rectangular glass dish. If you have a bigger dish, consider doubling it; this freezes very well. For best results, thaw in refrigerator, then reheat in the oven. If you opt to microwave it, be careful not to heat it too long or the sauce will separate.

A CBI special court Wednesday ordered the framing of charges against retired high court judge Nirmal Yadav accused of corruption and conspiracy in the Rs.1.5 million cash-at-door scandal.
Justice (retired) Yadav will have to be present in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) special court here Aug 12 when charges would be framed. She had been exempted from court appearance till now.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court was hit by a scandal after a packet containing Rs.1.5 million was found Aug 13, 2008 at the doorstep of the Sector 11 house of a newly-appointed judge Nirmaljit Kaur. She complained to police and got a case registered.
Yadav was also a judge in the high court here when the scandal came to light.
The police later arrested then Haryana additional advocate general Sanjeev Bansal, property dealer Rajiv Gupta and Delhi-based hotelier Ravinder Singh in this connection.
Police claimed Bansal and Gupta told them that the money was meant for Justice Nirmal Yadav.
The two claimed that another packet containing Rs.1.5 million was separately delivered to Yadav at her Sector 24 official residence later, since the first packet was wrongly delivered to the other woman judge, police said.
A case was registered by the Chandigarh Police initially and later the investigation was handed over to the CBI.
Despite objections from Yadav, the Supreme Court had set up an independent enquiry into the case. The high court , in 2011, directed Yadav to appear before the trial court.
Yadav was later transferred to the Uttarakhand High Court from where she retired in 2012.
The CBI filed a charge-sheet against Yadav for corruption, conspiracy, destruction of evidence and creation of false evidence.

Fantasy Focus
Third Base Rankings
Earlier this week we introduced the first basemen and second basemen rankings using the new tiered system built on the recommendation of reader feedback from the past few months. I took a day off Wednesday in order to check out additional feedback and tweak the rankings more to your liking-generally, you are happy with the direction they have taken, and want me to stick with the tiers, but there is a portion of the audience that has made it clear they want to see players ordered within the tiers.
So, going forward, there will be no hard number ranking-the concept of tiers and the fact that the players within the tiers are essentially equal would go out the window were I to do that, as the numbers have less meaning than the tiers. I will, however, use what I will refer to as the "Gun to my head" principle, where I will list the players in the order that, were you to stick a pistol to my noggin, I would tell you who I prefer. This way, those who already like the tiers as is get to keep what they enjoy, while those who are asking for that little bit extra also get their way. Additionally, I will either update the first basemen and second basemen lists on Unfiltered, or just wait until I finish the positions and give you one long, positional player cheat sheet. Tell me your preference in the comments.
When it comes to dollar values and the like, though, we have the Player Forecast Manager. I can only give you one dollar value, it won't cover all types of leagues, and it will be useless to as many people as it will be useful. The PFM and I are meant to complement each other-use both in your draft preparation for the most effective team construction.
The first basemen rankings are here, while second base can be found here. Now, here are the changes to this year's ranking system:
Five Stars Player PA AVG/OBP/SLG R HR RBI SB David Wright 686 .313/.415/.541 101 29 101 21 Evan Longoria 686 .288/.378/.534 97 37 105 9 Alex Rodriguez 595 .288/.403/.578 91 39 106 17 Ryan Zimmerman 648 .286/.356/.508 88 29 90 2
You can't ask for a much better group than this. PECOTA expects Wright to rebound, but even if he doesn't hit nearly 30 bombs, check out that batting average and on-base percentage. He'll pick up over 100 runs and RBI easily, and as a 20/20 guy, he has loads of value in all five categories. Evan Longoria is David Wright 2.0, but with fewer steals-that's about the only separation between the two at this stage. Long-term, I would take Longoria's bat over Wright's-he's that good-but for 2010, those steals keep the Met in the lead.
PECOTA is overshooting Rodriguez's homer total-I would put him down for low 30s-and his stolen bases may also be a handful too high. Otherwise, though, it's hard to argue, and discounting those two stats just means he's behind two of the very best at the position. If Zimmerman stole bases, he would be David Wright 3.0. His projection seems a bit low to me, but it's also weighting in his 2007 and 2008 seasons, so that's to be expected. He had well over 110 runs and 106 RBI last year with 33 homers, and there's nothing in his production that says he can't do that again.
Four Stars Player PA AVG/OBP/SLG R HR RBI SB Pablo Sandoval 610 .321/.366/.529 81 21 81 3 Mark Reynolds 669 .256/.354/.488 91 31 90 13 Ian Stewart 584 .263/.352/.485 81 24 75 7 Chone Figgins 680 .283/.375/.372 93 5 50 44 Michael Young 648 .299/.362/.444 73 15 72 8 Aramis Ramirez 520 .298/.379/.498 63 18 79 1 Chipper Jones 495 .296/.405/.471 61 15 61 2
Sandoval is like a pudgy Nomar Garciaparra. If he hit .360 all of the time, with 25 homers and doubles power, I wouldn't be shocked. Even with the Giants offense to consider, and his lack of steals, he's going to give you plenty of production. It's a shame he won't fit in at catcher anymore. To say I am skeptical of Reynolds would be an understatement, but I've talked it over with some folks I trust in order to get past my bias a bit-the fact that PECOTA doesn't expect him to retain all of his 2009 production, but still put up a worthwhile fantasy season, is also helping. I fully expect him to strike out 300 times and fail to drive in runners all season now, just because I caved in.
Stewart had a .270 BABIP last year, so assuming that returns to normalcy (as PECOTA is doing), you have yourself a realistic expectation of his performance. I would actually pencil him in for a few more homers-he hit 25 in 491 plate appearances last year-and the R and RBI may be a bit low too. When the PECOTA cards are live, I would use his 75th percentile projection. Figgins isn't a four-category player like everyone else in the four-star tier, but he should reach 100 R, hit for a helpful batting average and steal more bases than most. He is nearly 40 steals ahead of the projected average for this list of third basemen, and it's tough to ignore just how far ahead that 44 steals can put you, especially since he isn't useless otherwise.
PECOTA is factoring Young's injury-hampered past into this projection-another season like 2009, even a little below that, makes him a four-star third baseman. Ramirez hit well in limited time last year, but his BABIP was a little too lofty for PECOTA and my liking given his history. Those R and HR totals seem a little low to me, but bumping him up for that doesn't do anything except keep him ahead of the guys I've listed after him. Jones was worse than this projection last year-far worse-but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he can rebound to the point PECOTA has set here, given his well-below Chipper standards BABIP from 2009. If you don't agree, feel free to bump him to the tier below, as PECOTA could be having a hard time properly weighting the seismic shift in performance.
Three Stars Player PA AVG/OBP/SLG R HR RBI SB Kevin Kouzmanoff 632 .277/.328/.463 63 23 90 1 Chase Headley 616 .267/.355/.439 65 17 67 5 Adrian Beltre 564 .275/.325/.455 60 20 71 9 Jorge Cantu 570 .288/.353/.467 64 19 79 3 Edwin Encarnacion 549 .262/.350/.474 67 24 64 5 Alex Gordon 543 .265/.350/.446 62 18 55 11 Mark DeRosa 512 .273/.355/.447 68 15 62 2 Placido Polanco 586 .305/.355/.425 86 9 60 7 Andy LaRoche 595 .254/.350/.408 68 16 61 4 Miguel Tejada 458 .301/.340/.451 65 14 61 4 Jhonny Peralta 664 .268/.337/.425 72 18 80 2
This tier is very tightly packed. Kouzmanoff's OBP is not high enough for him to pick up a ton of runs, but he has good power and lots of RBI potential for the position, and his batting average won't hurt you now that he's out of Petco Park (though he is in the only slightly better canyon in Oakland now). Headley's best value may be in head-to-head leagues where you can use him on road games only, but even with that you have to love PECOTA's forecast for him-it's taking his second half into account with a bit of a power burst. I think the rebound expected for Beltre here may be a little too much, but counting stats-wise he's going to look good, between Fenway Park and the lineup he's in.
Cantu is kind of a boring option, but he gets the job done, and he has first-base eligibility as well. Encarnacion's biggest concern may be Brett Wallace-if Encarnacion doesn't deliver, he may not play long enough to match this forecast. Gordon's 2009 was painful, but if he does what he's supposed to do, then there's no reason he can't match this. I still like Gordon, though not as much as teammate Billy Butler. DeRosa doesn't belong in left field, but he's third-base eligible for now, so take advantage. He's essentially the average third baseman.
Polanco should see a boost in his production by moving to the NL, and in that powerful Phillies lineup you can expect him to pick up plenty of R and even a few RBI. He's the perfect example of a three-star player, and you can use him for about the same value at second base instead. It's not a realistic expectation for the entire season, but LaRoche hit .321/.367/.583 in September last year. Now, I would be silly to suggest that one month means everything is OK, but I do think he showed legitimate improvement that will translate into a better performance. I'm interested in seeing his 75th percentile, because it's probably closer to my expectations for him.
Tejada's R and RBI numbers seem low for that average, slugging, and homer total. It may just be the number of plate appearance he's forecasted for: over 600 plate appearances, his projection looks more like 85 R, 18 HR, and 80 RBI. Say what you want about his production, but Tejada usually manages to stay in the lineup. Peralta, assuming this is now time for one of his good years, is another example of this. He'll pick up some HR and won't hurt you in either R or RBI, but his batting average could use some work.
Two Stars Player PA AVG/OBP/SLG R HR RBI SB Scott Rolen 471 .273/.355/.426 57 10 54 4 Mike Fontenot 474 .273/.346/.435 56 12 50 4 Garrett Atkins 437 .284/.351/.460 51 16 65 1 Jeff Keppinger 539 .301/.364/.430 59 9 51 2 Casey Blake 543 .258/.339/.417 66 17 68 2 Casey McGehee 661 .269/.331/.425 71 19 90 1 Mat Gamel 292 .262/.338/.447 32 9 34 2 Maicer Izturis 382 .286/.355/.427 49 8 45 10 Omar Infante 377 .294/.352/.406 44 5 42 3 Brett Wallace 103 .267/.334/.445 12 4 10 0 Mike Lowell 242 .284/.344/.477 26 10 41 1
Things have taken an unexciting turn for the worse here in the two-star category. It might be easier to simply tell you about the few differences and the reasoning than to repeat myself about these very similar players and projections. Rolen is on top because he has the best chance of being a three-star guy. Fontenot won't play third, but he's eligible, and he wouldn't kill you in a deep league, though you can do much better. Just like with first base, I think Atkins forecast is a bit overstated; otherwise, he would be a three-star guy.
I made a mistake with Keppinger in the second-base list that I plan on fixing when I re-release them-he was projected for far more playing time than I thought, which fits him snugly into a two-star slot instead of one. If you got points for having awesome facial hair (fantasy points, Tommy Bennett, not life points) then Blake would have had his own tier until he shaved off his beard just before the start of spring training. As for McGehee, I'm still not sold on that RBI total. It just seems off, especially given PECOTA's conservative nature related to run scoring this year.
Gamel would be much higher if you could guarantee he would play every day. Izturis might end up with a better season than slated starter Wood, but sadly will not play all of the time, and therefore loses value. Infante should bounce around the diamond often enough to warrant consideration in very deep leagues, or those with MI/CI slots. Wallace's value skyrockets if Encarnacion loses his job, but right now, Encarnacion is set to play. Lowell is a weird one to analyze-he's only useful in games where he is subbing in at third base or DH, and even then, just if they are home games. If he goes somewhere else to play via trade but goes to a park that isn't built for hitters, I'm not sure he comes anywhere near this forecast despite playing daily.
One Star Player PA AVG/OBP/SLG R HR RBI SB Brandon Wood 549 .241/.303/.452 62 25 59 7 Mark Teahen 549 .263/.333/.411 59 13 48 8 Emilio Bonifacio 495 .267/.326/.353 62 3 31 18 Brandon Inge 507 .234/.320/.402 50 16 57 4 David Freese 480 .254/.323/.409 52 12 56 2 Pedro Feliz 458 .262/.306/.402 45 12 67 0 Brendan Harris 325 .276/.340/.412 35 6 28 1 Alberto Callaspo 259 .296/.358/.423 28 4 24 1 Matt Tolbert 259 .262/.319/.377 31 3 22 6
Wood has the best chance to break out of this slot, but since I haven't been optimistic about his major-league performance since 2005 or so, I'm not exactly holding my breath. Teahen will, um, play every day. There's that. Bonifacio brings nothing to the table except for some R and some steals, assuming he plays as often as the depth charts indicate. Inge, Freese, and Feliz are basically The Same Guy according to PECOTA, which is as depressing as it sounds. Harris, Callaspo, and Tolbert are all slated for partial seasons, so none of them will do much for you-if Callaspo was playing daily, I would be more enthused by his forecast.

Four stars.
Feb 25, 2010 09:37 AM
You don't think Youkili's numbers will be very close to Zimmerman's? He's has been a better AVG man and on-base machine, hits in a great lineup, friendly park, etc. He's certainly fatter and more of an injury risk, though perhaps playing all year at first base will mitigate that. I don't see the separation between him and Zimmerman being all that significant.
Feb 25, 2010 11:15 AM
I'm a bigger fan of Youkilis than his weighted-mean projection, but I'm pretty enamored with Ryan Zimmerman, yes. I think Zimmerman's ceiling is about Wright/Longoria minus the steals.
Feb 25, 2010 12:00 PM
Marc - sounds like you're convinced Wallace will play 3b for Toronto but I seem to recall the talk out of Blue Jay camp focused around a 1b future for him. If Encarnacion flops, are you saying the Walrus mans the hot corner (woo-hoo keeper value) or that some other lineup iteration will result in more PAs headed his way? Bautista to 3b and Wallace at DH most likely?
Feb 25, 2010 09:32 AM
Richard Bergstrom
Need to rethink the mulitposition valuation a bit. McGehee's listed as two stars at 2B and at 3B while his numbers are playable (though not elite) at either position, especially 2B. Being able to flip a player between two positions when the regular starter has a day off is a huge edge in daily league transaction games like Yahoo. Either way, he should've gotten three stars at 2B or maybe in the last list, you can focus just on multi-position players.
Feb 25, 2010 09:38 AM
Where would Kevin Youkilis rate if he has 3B eligibility?
Feb 25, 2010 10:13 AM
Answered above, but just in case you don't see, four stars.

I applaud your patience. I've been laughing at the comments and questions coming from people who are not reading and waiting for a reply laced with the F word but you are hanging in there. I'm still betting you crack before the SP rankings come out but I'm impresssed you've made it this far.
Feb 25, 2010 13:16 PM
No one said it except you.
Feb 25, 2010 14:09 PM
I was talking about how I answered that same question earlier in the comments. I'm building these from the depth charts, where Youkilis is not listed as a third baseman, and it caused me to miss him. There are 42 others there, and I immediately--twice even--replied with Youkilis' value at third. I even answered questions as to why he is there to fill in what is not in the article. You can give me a hard time if you'd like, but c'mon :-)
Feb 25, 2010 14:17 PM
I don't like to do it, trust me. But "eligibility" is based on the depth charts? Why? How about basing it on what fantasy leagues base eligibility on? I mean... c'mon. You don't have to have played in leagues for very long to know that most ones that are worth their salt determine initial position eligibility based on games played in MLB the prior season (typically either a 1-game, 5-game, or 20-game threshold). Such that Gordon Beckham, e.g., is eligible *only* at 3B in pretty much every fantasy league that has... you know... rules. And Kevin Youkilis qualifies at 3B under any such standard (having played, I believe, over 60 games there last season). The latest edition of the PFM addresses this issue (with a customizable "minimum games played" position eligibility input), so I'm not sure why you would choose to ignore it.
Feb 25, 2010 15:19 PM
Richard Bergstrom
For the future, I'd rely on last year's games played charts instead of future depth charts (for non-rookies, anyway). Some drafts force you to fill out a positional roster based on last year's appearances regardless of projections unless that player is a rookie or was injured the previous year.
Feb 25, 2010 15:44 PM
Where would Gordon Beckham rate on your list since he still has 3B eligibility in many leagues.
Feb 25, 2010 10:21 AM
Low four-star ceiling this year, high three-star more likely. I feel like he's right at that cutoff point in talent difference.
Feb 25, 2010 10:45 AM
Moreover, Beckham has *only* 3B eligibility in many leagues, or indeed, all which base initial roster eligibility (as they should) on a player's games played by position in the prior season. Beckham did not play a game in MLB at another position last season.
Feb 25, 2010 11:45 AM
You really think Atkins is only a bit overstated? He hasn't come real close to that projection for the last 2 years, he will be 30, and he won't be playing 1/2 his games in Coors field next year.
Feb 25, 2010 11:43 AM
How is PECOTA overshooting ARod's HR total? He hit 30 last year in 444 ABs last season. Wright is the top 3B??
Feb 25, 2010 12:15 PM
seriously Marc, thanks for your patience and willingness to please. above and beyond ...
Feb 25, 2010 13:21 PM
how close is sandoval to 5 star? the numbers look pretty close...
Feb 25, 2010 13:42 PM
Marc, this list format is like Josh Hamilton at the Home Run Derby in Yankee Stadium. Out of the park!
Feb 25, 2010 14:27 PM
Benjamin Harris
Just a suggestion, but it might be a good idea to cross-reference your list with a list of positional rankings on Yahoo or something before you post the article. It may save you some stress. Man, I get frustrated reading some of these comments, can't imagine what you must feel.

Which Zimmerman is the one we will see in 2010? I'm having a hard time tracking his development. In 2006 he had a GB/FB = .76, an ISO of .184 and SLG of .471. In 2007, he hit more grounders (GB/FB = .81), had a slight bump in ISO (to .191) but slight drop in SLG (to .458).

It means that the complex of two office blocks, a 56-bed Premier Inn hotel, clergy buildings, and cloister garden is on timetable for completion in 2016.
The Old Police House, in King Street, has been demolished for the final phase of Blackburn's orbital road, linking in the £12million Wainwright 'Bridge to Nowhere'.
It will connect Bolton Road and Preston Old Road, and go from Freckleton Street to Montague Street by the end of this year.
Removing the Boulevard bus station is now complete, but the completion of roadworks in Railway Road, to divert underground services away from the construction site, will continue for several days after tram tracks and a service pit were unexpectedly discovered.
Next month, hoardings will go up so work can start on the Clergy Court, the Cathedral's new residential buil- ding which includes offices and a refectory open to the public.
Jubilee House was built as an office building during the 1930s on the site of the former Jubilee Street gas works complex.
Constructed of brown-red brick and moulded tiles, it is the former home of Blackburn with Darwen Council For Voluntary Service and Nightsafe.
It will become the car park for the adjacent new hotel, and overflow parking for the new development.
Work on the new £5million bus station on the Old Market site, in Ainsworth Street, is also due to start at the end of this month, for completion by the end of December.
Cathedral Canon Andrew Hindley, overseeing the development for the Blackburn Diocese, said: "I am delighted that it is all going ahead. It is all on target and on timetable."
Council regeneration boss Maur-een Bateson said: "The Cathedral Quarter development is progressing well. The remaining bus stop on the Boulevard is coming down and all the street furniture has been removed.
"Preparations are now underway to demolish Jubilee House."

Topic: The Passing of My Wife, Cindy Andrews
Hi, I'm Lanny Andrews the husband of Cindy Andrews. Cindy passed in our home Feb 5th after a courageous 23 month brawl with intrahepatic CC. We married the month after high school graduation, (1974) and would have been married 39 years this June. I miss her more than words can describe. Reading thru some of her old posts, her spirit is obvious, rarley talking about her struggles but encouraging others.
I noticed her last post was in Sept. 2012 shortly before she elected to start a clinical trial, which was absolutely the sickest I ever saw her. The trial had no effect and hospice was recommended shortly before Christmas. She waited until the holidays were over to start in home hospice wanting Christmas at our home to be as normal as possible. The two year battle with CC was "our battle". I took her to every appointment and toward the end was giving her shots daily for clots in her lungs and draing the fluid from her abdomen every other day. I thank God that we were in the financial position that I never had to be away from her during "our fight". As close as we were the first 37 years of our marriage, the two years we fought CC together brought our relationship to an entirely new closeness.
I will always keep her in my heart and see her in the face of our 6 year old grandson Noah, he was Mammys boy. She also leaves grandsons 15 month old Colton and 8 month old Nolan and we are committed to keeping Mammy in their lives.
Lana (daughter), Zane (son) and myself sent her home with maybe the coolest funeral ever with two beautiful picture DVDs and over 400 minutes of her favorite music which included Led Zeppelin, Gregg Allman, Warron Zevon, Allman Brothers, Simon and Garfunkel, Eric Clapton, The Beatles and on and on...she loved her music and she loved it loud, we were children of the late 60s early 70s after all. I am guessing at least 500 people paid her a final visit.
Her service opened with Kris Kristofferson signing "Loving Her Was Easier Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again" and closed with Judy Collins beautiful version of "Amazing Grace".
I have donations to the CC Foundation, collected at her funeral, and will be getting them in the mail soon.
Thanks to all who conversed with Cindy, offering prayer and encouragement.
Lanny Andrews

This vintage bottle opener is from Korea. My former father-in-law, a Korean War veteran, brought it back. The opener is about 8 inches long, made of steel and has Korean text on each side. As you can see, one side is red, the other blue.
Does anyone know what is written in Korean or anything else about this stout bottle opener?
This is by far the best bottle opener I've ever used. It is a favorite with friends and family when it comes to opening export beer bottles!

Once there was a night watchman who had been caught several times sleeping on the job. The boss issued the final warning. On the next night he was caught with his head on his hand and his elbows on the desk.
"Aha, I've caught you again," exclaimed the boss. The watchman's eyes popped open immediately and he knew what had happened. Being a quick thinking man, he said one word before looking up at the boss. The boss apologized profusely and went home. What was the one word?
HintSorry, no hints. :)
AnswerThe one word was "AMEN", thus making the Boss believe he was praying rather than sleeping.
What Next?

Turtle Wax claims the innovation will provide consumers with a time, money and water saving method to ensure clean and shiny vehicles. Turtle Wax - the official "Car Appearance Care Company" of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show - said the Rinse Free Wash & Wax will change the mindset of consumers as it introduces a new way to wash cars. "Turtle Wax Rinse Free Wash & Wax is one of our most exciting innovations to date, completely reinventing the way we wash cars, saving the consumer time while having a positive effect on the environment. Turtle Wax is proud to lead the way," said Mike Schultz, senior vice president of product development for Turtle Wax. "This product uses special polymers that surround the dirt so you can simply wipe it away without rinsing." The all-in-one formula can clean a variety of exterior surfaces - from plastic and rubber to paint and glass - without the need of a hose or rinse. The innovative biodegradable technology traps and lifts dirt from the vehicle's surface, scratch-free. Turtle Wax touts an environmentally-friendly message as less water is needed in the vehicle cleaning: only one bucket is needed per wash. Turtle Wax Rinse Free Wash & Wax will be available in stores beginning in February for a suggested retail price of $7.99. Back to News

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Chronic Fatigue: Antidepressants
Antidepressants do not cure CFS. They may relieve symptoms
such as fatigue, sleep problems, difficulty concentrating, and pain. But they
will not affect the course of the illness or the speed of recovery.
Antidepressants that are commonly used to treat
chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) include:
When these medicines are used to treat CFS, they may be given
in lower doses than the amounts used to treat depression.
choice of medicine may depend on the symptoms that are most bothersome, because
each medicine has somewhat different side effects. For example:
If depression has been diagnosed along with CFS,
antidepressants may be used to treat depression also.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an advisory on antidepressant medicines and the risk of suicide. Talk with your doctor about these possible side effects and the warning signs of suicide.
Do not suddenly stop taking antidepressants. These medicines
must be gradually tapered off under your doctor's supervision.

Beyond the technological fix. [Detrimental and unforeseen side effects]
Both technological and social fixes are likely to bring with them deterimental and unforeseen side effects. Although the perceived side effects of nuclear energy can undoubtedly be ameliorated by improved technology, a permanent institutional infrastructure will probably also be required. It is pointed out that confinement of nuclear energy to relatively few large sites rather than many small sites may be a first step toward creating this permanent institutional infrastructure.

New Puppy Alert! Welcome, Bo (Obama)
Finally comes the day we've all speculated about, discussed, and debated . . . and it seems that day is Tuesday. This lil furball is Charlie, the soon-to-be first dog entering the White House tomorrow. Seems Sasha and Malia have settled on an appropriate name that the whole family can agree on, so meet "Bo."
The re-homed Portuguese water dog was returned to a breeder and will be gifted to the Obamas. The Texas kennel is the same one frequented by Ted Kennedy and family, and will be presented by the Kennedys as, you may recall, that family also keeps Porties as pets. Seems the pup had a meet-and-greet a while back and, tomorrow, I hope to have even more information and photos of the six-month-old. 'Til then, join me in a hearty "Welcome, Bo! It's grrreat to finally see you."

Contained Places
Abingdon , also known as Abingdon on Thames or Abingdon-on-Thames, is a market town and civil parish in England. Historically it was the county town of Berkshire, but has been in the county of Oxfordshire since 1974. Abingdon is one of several places that claim to be Britain's oldest continuously occupied town, with people having lived there for at least 6,000 years.
Abingdon is 5.5 miles (8.9 km) south of Oxford and 5 miles (8 km) north of Didcot in the flat valley of the Thames on its west (right) bank, where the small river Ock flows in from the Vale of White Horse.
Historically, Abingdon was made up of two ecclesiastical parishes: Abingdon St. Helen and Abingdon St. Nicolas. It was a municipal borough in Berkshire until 1974, when it was transferred to Oxfordshire along with a large part of northern Berkshire. Before 1835 it was known as an ancient borough.
From The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868), transcribed by Colin Hinson ©2003 and found in GENUKI
[This is the start of an extensive article on the history of Abingdon as seen from the middle of the 19th century.]
For more information about the 20th and 21st century in the town, see the Wikipedia article Abingdon-on-Thames.
Research Tips
Online Historical References
Nineteenth Century Local Administration
English Jurisdictions is a webpage provided by FamilySearch which analyses every ecclesiastical parish in England at the year 1851. It provides, with the aid of outline maps, the date at which parish records and bishops transcripts begin, non-conformist denominations with a chapel within the parish, the names of the jurisdictions in charge: county, civil registration district, probate court, diocese, rural deanery, poor law union, hundred, church province; and links to FamilySearch historical records, FamilySearch Catalog and the FamilySearch Wiki. Two limitations: only England, and at the year 1851.
During the 19th century two bodies, the Poor Law Union and the Sanitary District, had responsibility for governmental functions at a level immediately above that covered by the civil parish. In 1894 these were replace by Rural and Urban Districts. These were elected bodies, responsible for setting local property assessments and taxes as well as for carrying out their specified duties. Thses districts continued in operation until 1974. Urban districts for larger municipalities were called "Municipal Boroughs" and had additional powers and obligations.
Poor Law Unions, established nationally in 1834, combined parishes together for the purpose of providing relief for the needy who had no family support. This led to the building of '"union poorhouses" or "workhouses" funded by all the parishes in the union. The geographical boundaries established for the individual Poor Law Unions were employed again when Registration Districts were formed three years later. In 1875 Sanitary Districts were formed to provide services such as clean water supply, sewage systems, street cleaning, and the clearance of slum housing. These also tended to follow the same geographical boundaries, although there were local alterations caused by changes in population distribution.

Plans to build 54 homes on a flood plain near the railway line in Cross Hills have been withdrawn.
Harron Homes was seeking to build a range of one, two, three, four and five-bed detached, semi-detached and terrace properties on land at Ashfield Farm, off Skipton Road.
The controversial application, which was submitted in January, has been withdrawn by the developer.
A Craven District Council spokesman said: "Insufficient information had been submitted to fully assess the application." She said the information concerned the sequential test, which steered new development to areas with the lowest probability of flooding.
Ward councillor Philip Barrett (Ind) said: "I'm very pleased that this contentious planning application for 54 houses at Ashfield Far has now been withdrawn.
"To even suggest building on a green field site in this location, which is on a flood plain, was totally wrong.
"The increased traffic generated from the housing would have also exacerbated the serious traffic congestion at the level crossing that already exists and jeopardised the future option to bridge the railway line and reopen the station.
"I hope the developer now walks away from this site."
And fellow ward councillor Coun Graham Beck (Ind) said: "A new development would affect any future plans for a strategic level crossing and railway station.
"You have to think about that going forward, but there is also flooding and the ridiculous traffic congestion for local residents who live down there."
Harron Homes refused to comment on the application.

I just read Business Solutions writer Matt Pillar's upcoming feature article on POS startup Congruity Solutions. If this article -- which will appear in our May issue -- doesn't serve as a wake up call for POS dealers, I'm not sure what will. Here's the gist: Chris Pace, CEO of Congruity Solutions was a business analyst for a healthcare organization when his friend, who operates a coffee shop, asked Pace for help in getting a new POS system.
Pace did some research and settled on ShopKeepPOS for the software and iPads as the hardware. His friend liked the solution. In no time, Pace was taking calls from other small businesses looking for similar solutions. That was less than two years ago. Today, Pace now has 40 retail and hospitality customers in his area and he reportedly holds the distinction of being ShopKeep's leading VAR in the country by volume.
"One of the beautiful things about falling into the mobile POS business is that there's no investment to speak of but time and expertise," he says. "The initial hardware investment we made was little more than an iPad to demonstrate the solution."
This is what you old school traditional dealers are up against. Pace isn't a third generation POS dealer. He didn't grow his business off of big hardware margins. He's a new breed of POS dealer offering low cost software and hardware. His growth strategy is built on recurring revenue from a SaaS model, upselling various card processing products, and online ordering. What's your growth strategy built on?

As I note, "The Conjuring is a remarkably traditional film in both style and content; once again exorcism and possession are ramped up for the usual thrill ride, complete with objects flying around the house, children in peril, a possessed mother, ghosts from the past tormenting the living, with special effects that seem remarkably similar to William Friedkin's The Exorcist (1973), the film that really kicked off the whole trend nearly half a century ago. Indeed, the film itself is set in the early 1970s, and everything about it seems linked to the past; one might easily imagine that it was shot in the 1970s, as well. And, of course, it's based on a true story!
Roger and Carolyn Perron (Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor) and their five daughters move into a crumbling isolated house in the middle of nowhere because it's the best deal they can get; they don't have much money, and the house is a real fixer-upper. Having gotten the property from the bank in a foreclosure proceeding for a song, they haven't really inquired too closely into the house's past – like, for example, the fact that it has a walled off cellar that apparently no one ever told them about, or that several murders and suicides have taken place on the grounds, but hey – a bargain is a bargain."

Stardust on My Pillow Stories to Sleep onAuthor:
Clairmont, Patsy
Pub Date: 2000
Publisher: Doubleday Religious Publishing Group, The
Summary: Best-selling Author and Beloved Storyteller Patsy ClairmontTakes an All-New Approach to Her Message of Encouragement, Healing, and Hope. From "Boxed In," the story of a woman making a startling discovery about a distant aunt she never really knew, to "Cloistered," the tale of a severely phobic woman being gently wooed back into life, popular speaker and writer Patsy Clairmont has crafted a beautiful and impressive fi...rst collection of short fiction. Through the fourteen tales featured in Stardust on My Pillow, Patsy sensitively explores the themes of compassion and kindness, holiness and hope, while providing beautifully written inspiration for all of us who desire to spread a little stardust of our own. Quotes: "Patsy Clairmont has a sensitive and compassionate voice as a storyteller." -Francine Rivers, author "I rarely read fiction, but when I do it had better be good. Well, let me tell you, friends, this is good. It incorporates Patsy's extraordinary communication skills with her unique ability to weave a charming and fantastic story. Plan to stay up late and be dazzled by stardust." -LuciSwindoll, author and speaker "Like a vase holding a spring bouquet, Patsy's book holds a wonderful variety of stories, each one with emotional color and a lingering fragrance all its own." -Ken Gire, author "As endearing as Patsy herself, these honest, poignant tales bring home messages of grace, truth, and above all, hope." -Liz Curtis Higgs, author and speaker "Patsy's short stories are sure to warm your heart and soul. Simply one of the most delightful reading experiences I've had in a long time." -Shelley Breen, Point of Grace Short Stories to Bolster Your Spirit Petite, playful, and profound. These words help to describe Patsy Clairmont's size, message, and humor. Gifted with both a quick wit and a sure command of God's Word, Patsy can simultaneously bring laughter to her audiences while imparting deep, life-changing insights. Known today as a best-selling author and popular speaker who addresses thousands of women at national conferences, Patsy once suffered as a prisoner in her own home because of agoraphobia (fear of open spaces). Her experience has given her a deep appreciation of God's healing power. In Stardust on My Pillow, Patsy courageously and skillfully breaks new ground, offering her message of God's grace for the first time through the medium of short fiction. In fourteen touching and tender tales, she explores the mystery and faithfulness of God's goodness and love, as experienced and demonstrated by his people. [read more]
