At halftime, we seniors talked about how this was the last time to play under our lights. We wanted to make it a great memory and so we decided to step up and play Morgan football. —Kyle Stapley
When a football team is struggling, there's nothing better than senior leadership stepping up and leading by example.
That was the case Wednesday night in Morgan as the Trojans overcame a slow start to pummel the visiting North Sanpete Hawks 35-0. With the win, Morgan sets up a clash of 3A North titans next Friday night against Judge Memorial. The Bulldogs trounced Manti 49-20 on Wednesday, and both teams are undefeated in region play.
The Hawks dealt with poor field position and poor decisions all game long, beginning with the opening kickoff. Spencer Applegarth fielded the kickoff at the 5 and managed only seven yards on the return to the North Sanpete 12. After six plays netted only 13 yards, the Hawks were forced to punt.
A short punt and a good return set the Trojans up with the ball on their own 42 yard line to start their first possession. A 25-yard pass from quarterback Ben Saunders to Kade Carrigan moved the ball to the Hawks' 33. After an incomplete pass, Carrigan took a sweep handoff around the right side and scurried to the end zone, giving Morgan the early lead. Dallin Calder's PAT made the score 7-0 just three minutes into the game.
The Trojans' fast start actually was not representative of their success for most of the remainder of the half. The Hawks' next possession started at midfield, but they were unable to penetrate the Morgan side of the field.
Three plays later, Morgan's Matt Murdock fielded a Hawks punt at the Morgan 21 and executed a scintillating punt return 79 yards for an apparent touchdown. However, as has many times been the case for Morgan this season, a yellow penalty marker nullified the score and left Morgan a bit deflated and a long way from the end zone.
The Trojans were unable to put together a drive after that, with penalties, ball security and an interception all issues that stalled Morgan drives. However, the Hawks were even more inept on offense. North Sanpete never entered Morgan territory in the first half, and costly personal foul penalties, poor snaps and quarterback sacks moved the Hawks backward on a consistent basis.
A brief spark of excitement flared at the end of the first half, however, when Morgan received a punt at its own 30 with just 2:05 remaining in the half. Saunders rushed for one yard, and on the next play, lofted a perfect pass down the left sideline where Carrigan caught it in stride and streaked 69 yards for the score. Bridger Streadbeck caught a 2-point conversion pass from Tyler Kelsey, and Morgan took a less-than-pretty 15-0 lead into the half.
That's when the seniors took over.
Kyle Stapley, a senior leader on the offensive and defensive line, said: "At halftime, we seniors talked about how this was the last time to play under our lights. We wanted to make it a great memory and so we decided to step up and play Morgan football."
Head coach Kovi Christiansen agreed that senior leadership made the difference in the second half. "We have a bunch of seniors that are great leaders. Kade is one, Matt (Murdock) leads by example, and so does Stapley on the inside." Behind a stalwart defense and much-improved offensive play in the second half, Morgan added 22 points on two touchdown runs by Carrigan (three yards and 15 yards) and Saunders (one yard).
Meanwhile, the Hawks continued to melt down, not gaining a first down until well into the fourth quarter and only moving into Trojan territory once. Even that was short-lived as penalties and a bad snap moved them back onto their own side of the field before they punted yet again.
For the game, Carrigan finished with 116 yards and three touchdowns on 13 carries, with 91 yards receiving and another score. Murdock added 90 yards rushing. Saunders finished with 114 yards passing and a rushing score. All told, Morgan had 406 total yards of offense while holding the Hawks to just 86 yards total.
Morgan faces a stiff foe in Judge next weekend. "We'll prepare for them like crazy and we'll have a battle Friday night," said Christiansen. "It's a great venue for a Friday night. With the region title on the line, it's Friday night football at its best." Stapley agrees. "We're so excited for Judge. It's gonna be a great game."
Look for Morgan's seniors to rise once again to meet the challenge.

Hello guys,
I just wrestled a Chappee Boiler 100,000 BTU boiler into the basement. I am going to add photos of my furnace and the new boiler. I can plumb just about anything with copper, but never touched a boiler. Any chances some one has photos of how they tied in their add on boiler?
I want the oil to step right in when I go deer hunting and the coal burns out.

Obesity and Weight Management
Any Health Conditions NOT Caused by Obesity?
Are there any health conditions that are NOT caused by obesity? Every time I go to the dr my dr does not even ask any questions or do any tests. She just gives me a lecture about losing weight. So I never go to the dr any more because I already know I am obese. I have been obese for over 50 years and spent most of that time trying to lose weight, obviously unsuccessfully. I don`t need any more "incentives" to lose weight. Obviously if I could, I would. But I used to be able to get other kinds of health care for other things. At least the dr would ask questions or do tests if I went in with a health problem. Now, literally, I get nothing but weight loss lectures. I feel like health care is only for thin people and fat people just get weight loss lectures. Is this really truly the true state of medical science these days? If you`re thin you get health care and if you`re fat you just get chewed out for your body size?
Although I can't speak for the entire medical community, over 50% of our population is overweight or obese, so you are not alone. The medical community is trying to help in every way we can.
Please visit a previous similar question at the link below and do not hesitate to switch doctors if you are not getting the care you need.
Best wishes.

To search the collection you will need to follow this series of links:
⇒ Select the "Browse" link in the initial search page
⇒ Select the "County" category
⇒ Select the "Record Type, Date Range and Volume" category which takes you to the images.
Look at the images one by one comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
Using the Information
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. Add this new information to your records of each family. For example use the date and locality to search for census, land and church records.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname as the deceased; this is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual.
- Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have been in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
- Earlier records may not contain as much information as the records created after 1900.
- There is also some variation in the information given from one record to another record.
- Witnesses in court cases may be close relatives.
Unable to Find Your Ancestor?
- Check for variant spellings of the surnames.
- Check for an index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume. Local historical and genealogical groups also compile indexes to local records.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby counties.
General Information About These Records
Pre-1868 County courts, sometimes called the County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, handled both civil and criminal cases. Minutes contain such matters as estate, land, illegitimacy, apprenticeships, bonds, certificates granting freedom to slaves, and more. Many of the original volumes have been lost or severely damaged. Most surviving volumes are in the state archives. In addition to having microfilms of many county court records, the library also has published abstracts many of the pre-1868 minute books. These publications are indexed.
1806–present: Superior Courts of Law were established in each county in 1806. Though the superior courts acted concurrently with the Court of Common Pleas, they handled more serious or complex civil and criminal cases. In 1868, the Superior Courts of Law merged with the Superior Court of Equity.
1806–1868: Superior Courts of Equity were also created in 1806. Their purpose was to deal with fairness issues. Most cases related to probate and land matters, and records generally listed heirs. In 1868, they merged with the Superior Court of Law.

text: I own a house in Anderson that has dropped in value because of the way the economy has been and that there are a few houses for sale in the same area that are crappy. I just dropped the asking price by 3000$. We have come to the conclusion that we need to drop the price even more to get it to sell. Our realtor discussed that we should drop it again and that if it sold at a lower price that we should expect to have to pay out and extra 4000$ or so at the closing. I asked her if we were to go to our bank that has our mortgage would we be able to continue to pay that down like a loan so we wouldn't have to come up with an extra 4000$ To try to get. She said that banks won't do that. I am going to the bank tomorrow and I am going to speak with their loan officer to see if there are other options that would be better. We just want to get out of the house with the least amount of getting screwed as possible. My wife says we should find another realtor and my brother in law thinks we should rent it out for a few years. I'd prefer not to rent it out because I have a fear of having someone trash the house. Any advice would be great.

Bishwakarma Puja, or Biswakarma Jayanti, is an important festival in Bengal, Orissa and other parts of
Eastern India and is dedicated to Bisvakarma, the divine architect of the universe in Hindu religion. In 2017, the date of Biswakarma Puja is September 17 in most calendars. The festival is mainly celebrated in Eastern parts of India and it is a holiday for the industrial belts in this part of . Kite flying is a major activity on the day. India
In Hindu Mythology, Bishwakarma is the divine architect of the universe. He is also called the divine carpenter and is mentioned in the Rigveda and is credited with Sthapatya Veda, the science of mechanics and architecture.
Artisans, craftsmen, mechanics, smiths, welders, industrial workers, factory workers and workers of all kind worship Lord Biswakarma on this day and pray for a better future, safe working conditions and above all success in their respective fields. Workers also pray for the smooth functioning of various machines.
Special statues of Lord Biswakarma are installed in the workplaces and factories. Nowadays, the statue of Bishwakarma is aptly transformed to match the working place – a factory will depict Bishvakarma like a worker there.
Generally, Bishwakarma appears on an elephant, which is his vehicle.
Special puja is done on the day and fresh fruits are given as offerings. The idol of Biswakarma at the end of the festival is immersed in water.
In homes, women apply vermilion on all the gadgets and pray for the well being of the family. Those who own vehicles clean it thoroughly and apply vermilion on it.
Like in all Hindu festival, there is a special feast on Biswakarma day. Staff associations arrange cultural programs and all family members participate in the various activities.

Peguero replaces Torres in Giants' lineup
SAN FRANCISCO -- Francisco Peguero received a welcome surprise Saturday when Giants manager Bruce Bochy installed him in the lineup, batting sixth and playing left field.
Andres Torres was the original starter in left, but Bochy exercised his executive privilege and switched to Peguero. Bochy figured that with left-hander Paul Maholm starting for Atlanta, this would be an opportune time to assign the right-handed-batting Peguero his fourth start since being recalled from Triple-A Fresno on May 3.
The switch-hitting Torres also would have given Maholm another right-handed bat to face. But Torres entered the game hitting .143 (2-for-14) lifetime against Maholm.
Bochy, who strives to keep each player sharp, sensed that Peguero needed some activity.
"He's done a good job in the outfield," Bochy said of the 24-year-old rookie. "It's tough for these kids that are used to playing every day to come up here and do a role or play once every four or five days. It's a big adjustment for them. I like how he's coming in every day, working and staying ready."

Orthodontist or regular dentist?
When should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that a child be seen at age seven. The reason for this is that some children may have cross bites of the erupting teeth that can be easily corrected and allow for more normal development of the dentition.. There may be some skeletal problems identified which need further study as the child develops. The orthodontist will not start treatment if the dentition does not require it so as not to wear out the child with treatment that could be done later.

New For 2014
The 2014 Maserati Ghibli is an all-new model. This four-door sedan slots below the Quattroporte in size and price. A pair of turbocharged V-6 engines provide the power, driving the rear wheels or all four.
Vehicle Summary
Maserati resurrects the nameplate from one of its most beautiful late 1960s coupes/convertibles, Ghibli, for its new four-door sedan. The new entry is one size smaller than the newly redesigned Quattroporte, which itself has gone up a notch in size and price. The 2014 Maserati Ghibli is a critical part of Maserati's plan to become a much more visible luxury marque, but to do so the Ghibli must battle big-name competitors from Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz.
The 2014 Maserati Ghibli in some respects fills the position vacated by the new Quattroporte, competing in the heart of the luxury-sport-sedan market. With its two high-performance engines and sinewy, son-of-Quattroporte sheetmetal, it definitely can hang with the four-door "coupes" rather than their dowdy sedan siblings. Unlike those coupes, the Ghibli can comfortably accommodate adults in the back seat and won't menace their heads as they enter. The interior, though, isn't quite as high style as the exterior, but at least the controls don't present a steep learning curve. You may recognize the navigation system as a Garmin/Chrysler unit, but it functions just fine and is dead easy to use.
For all that, buyers will have to drive this 2014 Maserati Ghibli before they'll be seduced away from the more popular choices in this fine segment. The Ghibli's standard engine is a characterful, twin-turbocharged V-6 that produces 345 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. The Ghibli S Q4 turns up the intensity with 404 hp and 406 lb-ft from the same engine. As its name suggests, the S Q4 also adds all-wheel drive, thereby eliminating one roadblock to Maserati ownership for buyers in the Snow Belt. In either case, a polished eight-speed automatic does the shifting, although you're free to tap the oversize aluminum shift paddles yourself.
The Ghibli is particularly rewarding when the road turns twisty. In a refreshing break from most of the high-zoot sedans in this class, in the Maserati it doesn't feel as if there's a phalanx of computers between you and the road. Credit the wonderfully tactile, hydraulically assisted steering; the Skyhook suspension that has only two (easily accessible) settings; excellent front-to-rear weight balance; and brakes that are both strong and easy to modulate.

The newly promoted Admiral Kirk is placed in charge of a specially created Starfleet division and attempts to defuse a critical hostage situation; Mr. Spock, who, in the midst of a teaching assignment on Vulcan, finds the one thing he least expected; and Dr. McCoy, whose unerring instinct for trouble lands him smack in the middle of an incident that could trigger an interstellar bloodbath.

I think this is the story prior to one of the Star Trek movies. I didn't expect that it will sustain my interest up to the end of the story. The plot is simple, but interesting.
I want to listen to more Star Trek books by Dillard. I also like Nimoy and Doohan's narrations.
I was a Sci-Fi Geek before Big Bang made it cool. Love Mysteries, Fantasy, Horror, Steampunk, Mash-ups, and a Big Dish of Beef Chow Mein!
"A blast from the past"
The Star Trek Audio books with the original cast always takes one back into the past to simpler times. JM Dillard tells a excellent Lost Tale from between the final five year missing and the first motion picture. James Doohan and Leonard Nimoy readings always help to bring the story to you and feel like a missing episode. LLAP
"Storyline did not sync well with the canon."
The rendition of the main characters was poor and there is no mention of this in future Star Trek events.
"Two great storytellers R.I.P. icons"
Wonderful story Ms .Jeanne .I'm happy to find a part of this trek tapestry you have let us create this theater of the mind.! Thanks
"Must read for every trekkie/trekker"
This book fills in the time between the end of the series and the premier of the first motion picture so it answers many questions.
How intensely Spock relied on Kirk
An authoritative view
Highly recommend this book.
"James Doohan is the best!"
I have to say, James Doohan's narration is just supreme! I sort of kept forgetting it was him due to the magnificent voice talent! He really sounded like the characters protrayed! The book is worth a listen just because of him!
As for the rest of the book, the story is fantastic! Really gets the core of the characters and it really feels like what would have happen if this was an episode or a movie! The villian was weak, perhaps because this is an "adapted" version?
Sound effects were a bit loud at times but usually the sound effects and music were great!
"Lost years"
Old Star Trek fan, good to hear a Star Trek story, just like I remembered from days of old. Thanks.
Prince Moloch
"Not a Good Story"
I am a big Star Trek fan and I am looking forward to the many books offered to me via Audible but I must admit that this book was a poor start for me.
The Voice actor made McCoy sound like an old idiot and Kirk like a clues old man. Spock on the other hand I guess because he was voiced by Nimoy himself was great.
The Doctors Friend as well as the Vulcan villain came across as a cartoonish bad guy, with no thought about what he wanted to do.
Over all the story arc was poor, the pacing horrible and the sound affects abysmal. I wouldn't recommend this book to any true Start Trek fan.
Shared account.
"New discoveries peaked interest"
There are many fascinating documentaries on what today's astrophysicist are discovering and what people like Stephen Hawking say might be possible someday. Could traveling past the speed of light be possible someday? The book, it is written beautifully and very gripping. I love every minute. 2 hrs is not enough; I want a series from this author. Call me greedy. Deserves no less than 5 stars.
The writing and sound effects were harmonized perfectly.
"an amusing diversion, but not a quality one"
tarot meets vulcan history in a tale that has more in common with Harry potter than star trek. be warned that the nimoy parts are short clumsy bolt-ons added presumably for the sellability of the nimoy name alone.
but if you need a star trek fix and aren't fussy this'll do.
"Adapted does not mean abridged!!"
I read this book many years ago and it became a firm favourite of mine. This audio version does not do it justice. It has been cut to pieces. There was meant to be chapters about Kirk settling in as Admiral, Spock meant a girl and became engaged, Riley had his own story too. All cut for no good reason. Disappointing

This is funny because Sprint has a chart on their website saying why AT&T and Verizon both fail.
Even though GSM is a lot faster I still prefer Verizon, with AT&T I had dropped calls all the time and couldn't use it in my house at all. With Verizon I never drop calls and have full bars in my house and everywhere else. Depends on the person and location, but where I live Verizon is better for me, even with slower 3G.
I can"t help myself but I have to laugh at this! Why don't they advertise something to really advertise about? OMG Half of the time at my Michigan home my phone drops calls a lot in this area and I have never see the "E" so much in my life and here I pay for 3G? What's that? I can only wish to know what 4G is?
3G.. 4G... 27G?! It's all irrelevant bc you get to the point of diminishing return well below 10Mbps on a mobile device. Faster speeds are great on a laptop with a wireless card if you're gaming or downloading large files but on a mobile phone the most bandwidth you would ever need is 2 or 3Mbps for streaming HD video.
Um AT&T hasn't release 4g yet?.....

With large homemade lanterns hanging from their necks and spears in their hands, the fishermen keep their eyes peeled for whitefish.

Kevin Breitenbach runs the bike shop at Beaver Sports in Alaska's second-largest city. Aboard a fat bike, he makes his way down a trail that winds through a forest as wet, quarter-sized snowflakes drop from the sky. Visibility is low, and the snow hides the roughest spots on the trail.

With Congress unable to agree on an alternate plan, the mandatory cuts from the sequester are now taking effect. Are you concerned about the effect they'll have on the nation's economy, or do you support the cuts? Facebook users react:

"We've probably made offers to 10 to 15 people who said, 'OK, but we can't move (into Allen County). We're a technical organization, and we need people with special skills," said City Utilities Director Kumar Menon, expressing what seems to be the city's chief rationale for ending its current policy, which requires employees to move into Allen County within six months of their hire.
As any employer knows, the ability to attract and keep good workers is critical. That is especially true in fields requiring hard-to-find skills. So when Menon says the city has been forced to pay contractors to provide engineering services at its waste treatment plant because it can't find someone to fill the job, it pays to listen.
But hasn't the city been spending millions to make itself more attractive to would be residents? Yes, but Menon said a new ballpark, restaurants and other amenities can't overcome family considerations that make a move difficult if not impossible: the need to care for an ailing parent, the desire to keep children in school, the employment needs of a spouse.
If the city can't land top-notch workers, or if it must pay contractors a premium, the loss of tax revenue that would come with a lack of local residency could be offset by the increase in talent and efficiency, it might not be a bad trade. Especially when, as Menon noted, those employees will be buying things (and paying sales tax) locally and might eventually move here should their family considerations change.
The city's public-safety employees, in fact, are already allowed to live in contiguous counties. They alone are allowed to take city vehicles out of the county, and the new ordinance would not change that. But Menon said few non-safety employees have city vehicles anyway.
According to Governing magazine, residency rules were originally used by city political bosses to limit jobs to their friends and supporters. The progressive movement of the early 1900s eliminated some of them, but the regulations made a comeback in the 1960s and 1970s as some cities were looking to boost their economies and provide opportunities to the poor and minorities. By the mid-1990s, the rules were falling out of favor again as the middle class continued its migration to the suburbs. Even today, Menon said, governments are eliminating residency rules.
The results have been mixed, Governing reports. More than half of Detroit police officers live outside the bankrupt city, but it is not clear whether any of that was a result of the Michigan Legislature's 1999 ban on city residency rules. In 2009, the Ohio Supreme Court upheld that state's ban on residency rules, and Cleveland feared an exodus. But spokeswoman Maureen Harper said "I think that, for the most part, city employees . . . . found it valuable to live and work in the same place, to live in the community in which they serve."
That sense of community, in other words, can benefit employer and employee alike. When I worked as a reporter in Valparaiso for two years after graduation, I came back to Fort Wayne almost every weekend – more like a homesick college student than a professional journalist paid to know what was happening where I worked and lived.
That kind of connectedness is more important in some jobs than others, however, which might be why Councilman Tom Smith, R-1st, seems open to the change. "It's a want, not a need. But if the mayor thinks it's the best thing, I won't second-guess him," Smith said.
Neither will I, but city officials might want to think twice the next time they try to justify annexation by arguing that people who live just outside Fort Wayne should pay city taxes because they benefit from city roads, businesses and other opportunities.
The same, after all, could be said for city employees.

MLB.com Columnist

Savvy signings put teams in playoff contention
While Trade Deadline nears, several deals have already made an impact this season
With Thursday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline mere days away, the hunt is on for impact acquisitions. But it's important to remember some of the impact acquisitions that helped put teams in contention and on the "buy" side of the trade equation in the first place.
Here, in retrospect, were some of the savvier signings and swaps made before the 2014 season got underway.
Scott Kazmir, A's
Oakland's midseason swap for Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel goes a long way toward making the club a legit World Series threat, but where would the best team in baseball be without having taken that two-year, $22 million gamble on Kazmir? The contract made some people in the industry nervous, because Kazmir had not exactly been a workhorse (158 innings) in his comeback season in Cleveland, and he had multiple starts in which a trainer was summoned to the mound. But Kazmir has been a durable All-Star arm this season, posting a 12-3 record and a 2.37 ERA in 21 starts. He could reach the 200-innings mark for the first time since 2007.
J.D. Martinez, Tigers
This was the biggest steal of the spring waiver wire. Martinez was released March 23 by an Astros team that didn't really have any room for him and simply wasn't patient enough with the major swing modifications he brought into Spring Training. The Tigers grabbed him, knowing they could use some depth in power bats, especially after the offseason trade of Prince Fielder. By late April, Martinez was back in the big leagues. And by the All-Star break, he had hit 13 homers, had an OPS of 1.035 and paired with that other Martinez -- Victor -- to give Detroit a dazzling duo supporting Miguel Cabrera.
Joe Smith, Angels
Deals of three years or longer for free-agent relievers are notoriously wrought with risk, but the Angels could not be happier with the first year of Smith's three-year, $15.75 million contract. He provided a rare bit of reliability within Los Angeles' otherwise erratic relief ranks in the first couple months of the season, briefly taking over the closer's role from the struggling Ernesto Frieri. The Halos have since rebuilt the bullpen with trades for Huston Street, Jason Grilli and Joe Thatcher, but Smith, with a 2.08 ERA in 49 appearances, remains a key cog.
Mark Reynolds, Brewers
Hey, say what you want about the .209 average and the 98 strikeouts in only 287 at-bats. Well, actually, you can say plenty. But Reynolds is tied for ninth in the National League with 17 homers, and the defensive metrics actually rate him as one of the more reliable first basemen in baseball this season. So for a measly one-year, $2 million contract, the Brew Crew has gotten good value out of Reynolds. Milwaukee, therefore, is not expected to seek out an upgrade before this week's Deadline.
Doug Fister, Nationals
This one wasn't exactly under the radar, and most analysts seemed to view the Fister trade as a steal for the Nats when it went down in December. But when he turned up with elbow inflammation in Spring Training (and Tigers acquisition Robbie Ray won his first start in May), you had to wonder if that was really the case. It will be years before we have a fair gauge of the trade, but Fister, once off the disabled list, has proven to be everything Washington expected him to be. After Sunday's win over the Reds, he's now 10-2 with a 2.69 ERA in 14 starts.
Nelson Cruz, Orioles
Pretty simple. Wait until Spring Training to sign the guy who sits suspiciously untouched to a low-risk $8 million deal, and watch him hit 29 homers and drive in 75 runs in his first 103 games while you rise to the top of the American League East, and you've pretty much won the offseason. Delmon Young has also been a decent bat off the bench, compiling a .323/.348/.465 slash line in limited playing time. The O's signed Young to a low-risk Minor League deal over the winter.
Justin Turner, Dodgers
A Minor League invitee, Turner made the big league club, and he has provided solid defense and a valuable bench bat for Don Mattingly's crew. He was particularly valuable in June, when he hit .389 with 10 RBIs in 54 at-bats while the Dodgers rose up the ranks in the NL West.
Michael Morse, Giants
You don't go from 10 games under .500 one year to title contention the next without several impact acquisitions. The ageless Tim Hudson (2.65 ERA) has been a key rotation piece after signing a two-year, $23 million contract, and J.C. Gutierrez has been a key bullpen piece after he was non-tendered by the Angels and signed to a Minor League deal by San Francisco. But Morse has probably been the biggest surprise and the best bargain after his miserable 2013. On a one-year, $6 million contract, he's provided a .275/.327/.476 slash line, 14 homers and 26 doubles -- production about 29 percent better than league average.
Aaron Harang, Braves
Rotation desperation led the Braves to Harang near the end of spring camp, after the Indians decided they didn't have a spot for the veteran right-hander. Atlanta picked him up and watched him post a 0.85 ERA over his first five starts. That ERA has since risen to 3.31, but Harang has really only had two clunkers all season. Take an April 30 blowup against the Marlins and a June 18 blowup against the Phillies out of the equation, and he's got a 2.31 ERA in 19 starts. Not bad for a guy plucked off the scrap heap.
Pat Neshek, Cardinals
Jhonny Peralta has been a big help to a St. Louis offense that has needed every bit of it, and his defense has come better than advertised, too. But Neshek's rise to All-Star prominence has been one of the better stories in baseball this season. The A's released him from a mopup role late last season, and the Cardinals extended him a low-risk Spring Training invite. Turns out, he's been far more than the right-on-right specialist they envisioned, posting a sparkling 0.85 ERA with 42 strikeouts through 42 1/3 innings.
Yangervis Solarte, Yankees
Yes, the veteran Minor Leaguer, given his first shot in the bigs, turned back into a pumpkin after an astounding April/May in which he had an .834 OPS. But he was, on measure, an impactful piece for a Yankees team that needed third-base help, and New York has hung around in the East, despite less-than-expected returns from high-profile acquisitions Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran. And after the bloom fell off the rose for Solarte, he became trade bait for Chase Headley, who has also been an impact acquisition early on. So Solarte is the gift that keeps on giving.
Edinson Volquez, Pirates
This one's all about perception. Because very few, if any, of us expected the Pirates to get even meager returns out of their $5 million investment in Volquez, given that he had a 5.09 ERA and a 1.529 WHIP, among other ghastly stats, from 2011-13 in Cincinnati and San Diego. For the Bucs to get a 3.87 ERA and a ballpark-adjusted ERA just shy of league average out of the 31-year-old Volquez is a credit, in part, to pitching coach Ray Searage, the architect of several reclamation projects in Pittsburgh in recent years.
Chris Young, Mariners
Obviously, Robinson Cano came aboard to change the equation for the M's. But after blanking the Orioles on two hits over seven innings on Saturday, Young is now 4-2 with a 2.12 ERA and 43 strikeouts over his last seven starts -- a remarkable surge for a guy who was pondering retirement mere months ago. Young missed all of 2013 because of shoulder pain, and the Nats released him this spring. Seattle picked him up off waivers, and he's been a rotation mainstay on a club in strong pursuit of an AL Wild Card bid.

Laurence Bowers, Missouri's leading scorer who hasn't played since Jan. 8 because of a sprained knee, is expected to make his return to the lineup Wednesday at LSU.
Missouri coach Frank Haith told ESPN that Bowers, who is averaging 16.8 points and 6.9 rebounds, had a strong practice Monday and will be ready to go Wednesday.
The Tigers have struggled in the five games without Bowers, losing to Ole Miss and Florida but beating three of the worst SEC teams (Georgia, South Carolina, Vanderbilt).
Bowers dressed for the game Saturday against Vanderbilt, a 81-59 win, but Haith said he wanted to give his senior a bit more time.
"I think if we pushed it, he probably could have got out there a little bit today," Haith told reporters Saturday. "But I really want him to be really comfortable, as I did with Keion (Bell). Keion probably could have played the other night. We've just got to weather the storm, so to speak and get those guys back feeling good."
No. 17 Missouri is 15-4 overall (4-2 in SEC play) heading into Wednesday's game.

Standing 9 1/2" tall this classic double gourd shaped Tiffany has bright iridescence. I was drawn to its color combination. Its a great example of the glasshouses' commitment to quality even very early in production. Made circa 1895-1899 best guess. This piece is unsigned with a paper label. Under high magnification, the label appears to be silkscreen printed, not digitally reproduced. Before we purchased this piece, the seller very graciously allowed us to show it to four friends who are experts and long time collectors of Tiffany. They agreed the piece is Tiffanys Corona. I still love Loetz glass but that doesn't mean a piece of American art glass can't turn my head every once in a while. I'm gonna need another cabinet :-) Thank you Frank, Jack and Mike.

Wow, has this story been in the news lately?!? Maybe you've heard about it? It's about Henrietta Lacks. She was stricken with an aggressive cancer more than 60 years ago. In 1951 she was treated at Johns Hopkins Hospital. It was later found out that the doctor took and preserved cells from her tumor without her knowledge. Although that was a common practice at that time, it continues to haunt the family because the scientific industry has continued to use the information gained from Henrietta, herself, and also other family members. They have made this information very accessible and until recently continued to do so. Her cells have been used around the world and they continue to contribute to some major medical advances and financial gains. These cells were named the HeLa cells and are called that till this day.
The book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot tells her and her families' story. It was published in 2010 and still remains on the New York Times Book Review Best Sellers list. Currently, it is #4 on the Nonfiction Paperback Best Sellers and although KPL has several copies they are often either checked out or on hold. The book tells about Henrietta, her life and how she died, and how the use of her cells has advanced scientific research. It also talks about the misuse of scientific studies done on her family without their permission, and how money has been made at her families' expense. Rebecca Skloot can take credit for the exposure that her book has given to the HeLa cells. It has perked some interest and some results in the medical arena. There have been acknowledgements and just recently some laws have been passed that will hopefully prevent and protect families from going through what the Henrietta Lacks family has gone through.
If you get a chance pick up the book The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks and delve into this fascinating story.

Go west little piggy
18 July 2011 § 9 Comments
This weekend, This Little Piggy herded the grass-fed family and went to Pakatan Farmers' Market in Upstate New York.
I was determined that for once we did not arrive just as everyone was packing up, and so for the first time in a long while, we made it to a Farmers' Market before noon. You'd think it would be easy getting two four-and-a-half-year-olds into a car, wouldn't you? Or perhaps you wouldn't depending on your knowledge of twin toddlers…
The market is set in the beautiful rolling hills of Delaware County, NY — the perfect backdrop for the big, round, red barn that provides the focal point for its vendors.
The market grows all the time with new farmstands appearing with each new visit. As well as fresh, locally grown produce and plants, there were crafts – ranging from scarves, soap, jewelry, the obligatory tie-dye (I do wonder if anyone specifically goes out to buy tie-dye) to cute little felt drinks coasters with bears on.
Of course there was the usual array of tempting snacks — ice creams, waffles and several bakeries plying their wares — but one thing struck me as odd: no doughnuts. A farmers' market without doughnuts? How can that be? That said, the smell of the burnt sugar from the waffle stand more than compensated for the doughnut-free zone.
The Ladies™ were extremely happy petting a tray full of yellow ducklings. These cuties drew every market attendee under 10 years of age to Lilac's farmstand. When asked how soft they were to touch, The Ladies™ replied: "softer than a puffy pillow" and "softer than a fluffy cloud." What more proof do you need?
All the while, Tundra Brewery – rookie brewmasters from Stamford, NY, kept King Marv happy with their free beer samples and the six-pack he took home.
We bought a pound of grass-fed ground beef from Sap Hollow Farm to make burgers (see recipe below). I spent some time chatting to the very wonderful Shannon Hayes who runs the farm with her husband. She is a writer and farmer and an expert on grass-fed beef. I bought a copy of her book The Grassfed Gourmet because, as a former pescetarian, I needed to brush up on my meat cooking skills. Her book not only offers lots of delicious recipes and advice on how to handle and cook grass-fed meat, but also the simple reasons why you should buy it over the ubiquitous bland, processed, corn-fed variety.
Best beef burger recipe ever below….keep reading…
Other goodies we came away with were fava beans, black raspberries and tiny perfect round plums. The kind duckling lady from Lilac also gave The Ladies™ her last two zucchini flowers.
There you go that burger recipe (from The Grassfed Gourmet Cookbook)
Best-Ever Beef Burgers
Makes 4 hamburgers
- 1½ lb ground beef preferably 80% lean (20% fat)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tsp oyster sauce
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried, minced onion
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup fresh breadcrumbs
Place the beef in a mixing bowl. Whisk together the egg, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour over the ground beef; add the bread crumbs. Using your hands, lightly mix all the ingredients together.
Grill or fry over a medium-high heat. Leave the grill uncovered while the burgers cook. 2 ½ minutes on the first side and 3 minutes after flipping will yield a medium burger.
Don't press the burgers with your spatula while you are cooking – you'll squeeze out the juices.
Serve in a toasted bun.
Pakatan Farmers' Market is open from 9am to 2pm every Saturday throughout the summer. Located on Rte 30 just south of Roxbury, NY in Delaware County.
Well worth the trip and not just for the stunning setting.

Love the photos, and thanks for coming to see us at the Market!
Ohhhh. Your photos are terrific; they make me want to visit. And ducklings? I love'em!
Thanks for sharing!

Vikings pickup preseason performance with win
December 12, 2012
The Vikings stuck to the game plan Saturday, and it paid off in a 59-46 non-conference win against Argonaut High School.
The boys put in work on their free throws and by the end of four quarters they had 67 percent from the line to show for it. Increasing their number of shots and hoop drives are also part of the game plan, and the Vikings did not disappoint. South Tahoe threw up 55 shots in the win.
"I was very proud of the team to keep focused and follow our game plan even though most everything else was not going our way," head coach Chris Proctor said in email.
Defense and rebounds were also looking sharp for the Vikings. It was great defense and transition lay-ups that saved South Tahoe from a 1-for-14 performance from the three-point range, Proctor said.
Brandon Cramer kept the Vikings in the game early on as they adjusted to the officiating and tried to get a handle on fouls in the first quarter.
Cramer went 7-for-8 at the free throw line and led the team with 20 points and three steals.
Recommended Stories For You
Hayden Bronken provided rebounds and put-backs at key moments to keep the momentum rolling. Bronken grabbed four rebounds.
John Cefalu took charge in the third to fuel the Vikings to the win. Cefalu went 3-for-3 on free throws and put up 11 points.
Kyante Wilson led the team defensively. He came away with 13 rebounds, four blocks and two steals.
The boys are now 1-3 in preseason play. They will hit the road Friday to play Elko at 7:30 p.m. as they continue to warm up for league play.

A refreshing perspective on the European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme went largely unnoticed last week, when organizers of a conference call to discuss a new study commissioned by the German Marshall Fund of the United States canceled the event due to a lack of registrants. The cool reception might have seemed rather odd, given the stakes and the widespread lack of understanding of the issues at hand. Then again, few have shown much interest in really engaging in any thoughtful debate on the subject.
Funny, though, that even the Obama Administration has said so little about the ETS issue lately. Granted, it has taken a position against a unilateral move by the EU, and has espoused the popular notion that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) should serve as the forum for any agreement. It knows full well, however, that 15 years of fruitless debate in ICAO has only delayed what legitimate climate change experts agree needs doing. The EU, to its credit, has taken the more principled position, one that it knew would draw condemnation from much of the international community and, indeed, from Europe's own airlines.
Although the European law allows for exemptions for jurisdictions that enact similar measures, politicians in the U.S. and elsewhere characterize the ETS as a power grab on the part of the EU and even as a means to help settle its members' mounting debts. Yet, if the math cited in the study comes close to reflecting some semblance of reality, the annual revenues the EU's countries stand to collect through ETS— something like .0021 percent of the continent's public debt–hardly merits mentioning. Furthermore, as the study notes, the EU adopted the law four years ago, well before the European debt crisis emerged.
Meanwhile, the popular argument that the EU law infringes on other countries' national sovereignty simply doesn't wash because international aviation rules allow nations to regulate flights into and out of their territory as long as they don't discriminate against foreign carriers. The report rightly points out that the U.S., for one, regulates foreign carriers by mandating reinforced cockpit doors and limits on liquids and gels on all airplanes flying into and out of its territory. It also requires that security checkpoints at foreign airports hosting flights to the U.S. meet its particular standards.
Outside the realm of aviation, overseas transactions by foreign companies stand subject to U.S. anti-corruption and anti-terrorism laws, as long as the company in question does business in the U.S. Similarly, U.S. law allows for the prosecution of foreign nations for acts such as torture, genocide and piracy committed outside U.S. borders, even against non-U.S. interests or citizens.
Perhaps the most legally sound argument against the ETS rests with the assertion that it constitutes an extraterritorial tax prohibited by the Chicago Convention. While the court of justice of the EU believes it does not, reasonable people can disagree. Sadly, few in the U.S. Senate appeared willing to seriously consider the legal merits of the European argument when that hallowed body unanimously passed a bill banning U.S. airlines from participating in the ETS.
In fact, the bill compels U.S. companies or individuals to, in effect, break the laws of other sovereign states within their territorial boundaries. That, in itself, seems to pose a legal dilemma. In recognition of that small detail, the Senate bill requires the U.S. government to support the operators it requires to break the EU law, ultimately laying responsibility for paying the fines on the U.S. taxpayer.

This is unusual - an adult, rational and sane commentary on just why including aviation in the EU ETS is also rational, adult and sane.
Let's hope those FAA and US State Department officials who are busy quoting the "Law that isn't"- the Thune-sponsored anti-aviation ETS bill - at very high levels to EC officials in recent days as yet another stick with which to beat Europe over the head with, also find time to read, mark and inwardly digest this succinct blog post!

Tell me what the ETS does to curtail emissions. The only way to curb emissions is to either not fly or use engines that produce lower emissions. This whole "scheme" is nothing more than a tax that will produce no real change in lowering emissions. Comparing the ETS to requirements like reinforced cockpit doors and limits on gels all due to security concerns is like comparing apples to oranges. To single out the US in the article is interesting as well. Lets not forget the other countries that are crying foul in this debacle. Is everybody wrong in criticising the EU for their scheme? And the legal merits? Does the writer and commenter truly believe it is legal for the EU to charge an aircraft operator for the entire portion of a flight that originates thousands of miles outside its territorial boundaries? If so, then I say tax every European aircraft that flies into and out of other countries thousands of miles away the same sort of tax. Wake up, this does "nothing" to curb emissions.

The next big question is what ICAO will come up with. Everyone is pointing to the global solution as a reason EU ETS should be tossed. It would be interesting to think about the different scenarios ICAO could come up with and how much that would cost the industry. Greg, you are so good at this type of analysis, I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with. After all they've been talking about this for many, many years and have pledged to come up with a proposal this time next year. So a snapshot of what delegates are thinking might be interesting. Either way, it will be seen as an addition cost on a beleaguered industry.

Gregg, I'm not necessarily opposed to EU-ETS, but what I'm not for is the Europeans taxing aircraft emissions outside their airspace, just as I'd be opposed if they decided to charge air navigation fees outside of their airspace. To me, this is a sovereignty issue.
Let's use a non-stop flight from Los Angeles to Paris as an example. Under EU-ETS, the operator would be charged for aircraft emissions from startup in LA to shutdown in Paris, even though the majority of the flight takes place in U.S. and international airspace. In addition, 100% of this tax would go to the EU's coffers, with none of it earmarked toward green energy, planting trees or anything else that would offset the carbon emissions from the flight (but that's another story, entirely). The main question is why the EU can tax aircraft for flying over the U.S. and international waters and then keep all of those revenues for themselves. Shouldn't they be allowed to charge the carbon tax only for portions flown in their airspace, just like they can for air navigation fees?
Even worse, a non-stop flight from New York to Dubai that overflies Europe will emit much more emissions but won't pay a dime in EU-ETS fees because it didn't take off or land in Europe. How fair is that?
The EU can charge all the carbon taxes they want, but it should only be while using their airspace. This would also apply to overflights like the above NY-Dubai example.

Reader Mr. Trautvetter should have written the article. He accurately and simply explained the objection that all non-Europeans have against the EU-ETS. The original author completely missed (or ingored) the point. It is extremely unlikely that the EU are going to send money to plant trees in Ohio to mitigate the emissions of that LA to Paris flight.

This is so sad! First let us understand a few facts. Global warming or climate change began with the creation of our universe, however that happened. Next micro data does NOT equal macro out come. Therefore, unless we have a global nuclear war, man hasn't done ANYTHING that has, is or will seriously harm the planet that it can't recover from. ETS IS a tax scam that has no meaningful purpose other than to make money by taxing people's "feelings" about the environment with no visible outcome! The people of the world need to get the government out of trying to make the world a better place to live, because social engineering is destroying us and limiting our ability to find practical solutions for what in the big scheme of things, are small problems! Creativity ALWAYS beats government intervention!

Part of our mission at Vermont Woods Studios is forest stewardship and a big part of that is protection of endangered species that call the forest their home. We have a particular soft spot for cats. Did you know that all of the worlds "big cats" are critically endangered? In the case of tigers, experts estimate there are as few as 3,200 tigers left in the wild. Three subspecies have been driven to extinction in the past century alone.
One of our favorite non-profits, the World Wildlife Fund is trying to save the tiger. With the Chinese lunar calendar having just rolled us into the Year of the Tiger, they have developed a plan to secure a future for these magnificent big cats.
Check out Tx2. The goal is to double the number of wild tigers by 2022, the next Year of the Tiger. If you want to help, read more about it here and take action to save this iconic species of the forest.

Yes, yes, I know … The GOP field of 2012 presidential candidates is supposedly a "weak" one. But today is Thanksgiving and everything acquires a rosy glow when you're overcome by tryptophan. So, here I am, counting my blessings that the field is no worse than it is. And, as it turns out, our seven diligent presidential pilgrims supply me with plenty of reasons to give thanks:
1.) Every single candidate at one time or another has professed his or her intention to work toward a repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Some of the candidates have more effectively intimated their awareness of what it will actually take to do that than others (i.e. they've acknowledged it can't be permanently eliminated by an executive order), but not one has suggested he or she thinks Obamacare should be here to stay. Meantime, the legislation remains unpopular with the general public and that unpopularity will presumably be a driving force in the congressional elections, as well.
2.) In the present conservative political climate, it's considered an insult or an attack to accuse another candidate of supporting amnesty for immigrants who have entered the country illegally. That suggests all the candidates respect the rule of law as foundational to the functioning of our government — or, at the very least, it suggests that the base is cognizant enough of the rule of law issues at play to force the candidates to pretend to prioritize them.
3.) As a group, the candidates appear to understand the importance of energy independence — and to recognize its feasibility in the near future. As with Obamacare, not one seems to think Obama's anti-energy policies should remain in place permanently. They're generally supportive of opening up more federal lands to drilling and of eliminating unnecessary or counterproductive regulations — while leaving in place those rules that ensure basic safety. They know that, by taking steps toward independence, we'll also take steps toward toward lower unemployment and greater homeland security.
4.) They've initiated important discussions about tax reform and the need to eliminate crony capitalism. Herman Cain's 9-9-9 plan might not be the tax reform I'd favor, but no question he inspired the electorate to consider the promise and pitfalls of a national sales tax. Nearly all the candidates have displayed the basic understanding that the federal government shouldn't pick economic winners and losers — and those who supported TARP never tout it.
5.) They're a family-oriented bunch. Collectively, they've racked up 229 years of marriage to their present spouses. Just one has been divorced. Among them, they have 33 children — an average of 4.7 each. What a beautiful testimony to openness to life — and what incontrovertible evidence that a large family need not drain a person of all energy! In fact, because I'm in a particularly charitable mood, I might as well add that I'm mighty thankful the Obamas, too, provide a positive example of marriage and family life.
6.) After 14 debates, the candidates have produced just a handful of gaffes — despite MSM moderators' best attempts to disgruntle them. Even Rick Perry's "oops" moment — which quickly entered the annals of the most embarrassing campaign moments in history — became a means for him to display grace and humility. And, while we're on the subject of those debates, I'm actually even kinda grateful we've had so many — and are only to the halfway point. We've had ample opportunity to get to know our candidates — and, on the whole, they're likable.
7.) Every single one wants to make Barack Obama a one-term president — and are willing to put money, sweat, tears and time into the effort. It surely can't be easy to run for president — and it must often be tempting to quit. But these seven are indefatigable and their efforts to spread the conservative message have not been in vain, whatever the outcome in November 2012.
