As we enter 2013, all eyes are on the fiscal cliff for the very short term. Assuming (as we do) that the government will eventually get its act together, it's important to scan the horizon for the likely stronger performers in the year ahead.
Overall, we are convinced that the stock market will have another year of favorable returns, despite anticipated bumps along the way. In some sectors, we expect to see follow-through from successes in 2012. In other cases, we anticipate a rebound from a lackluster year.
The big story for 2013 should be focused on company fundamentals and earnings, rather than on the broad-based macro themes that drove stocks in 2011 and through much of 2012. This focus should impact individual companies as well as sectors.
Our highest conviction is that financial stocks will continue their late-to-the-party success into 2013. Even after a strong 2012, financials are still playing catch-up from the stock market's post-2008-to-2009 recovery. Their business strength is still not adequately or fairly reflected in their stock prices. Importantly, we expect to see that business strength move higher next year, as the housing recovery becomes more pronounced, credit trends continue at attractive levels, and the economic recovery stimulates additional banking-related activities. Next year's stock prices for financials should rise to reflect their continued business success.
Within the financial sector, we believe that companies whose earnings and stocks prices have been hurt by the prolonged near-zero interest rates will rebound strongly. We do not expect a sharp increase in interest rates but think the market will anticipate, and discount, an end to the prevailing environment. Accordingly, these interest-rate-sensitive stocks are likely to begin rising well ahead of a change in the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy.
Some sectors that had poor or lackluster years should see better results in 2013. Energy, for instance, had a conspicuously poor 2012 based on macroeconomic concerns, slowing earnings growth and rock-bottom natural gas prices. Yet oil companies are still earning meaningful profits, raising their dividends and are trading at single-digit earnings multiples. We envision a snapback for energy in 2013, based on our conviction that more bellwether economies will be in growth mode, however modest.
We also project that a rebound is in store for technology stocks. Technology was something of a bifurcated sector in 2012, depending on which companies were seen as the dominant winner in various turf wars. Many of the perceived also-rans were unduly punished, and we think they'll be more favorably appraised next year. The market might take less of a "winner take all" stance and recognize tech companies with durable and highly profitable businesses that have been underappreciated and undervalued.
Similarly, industrials suffered from macro concerns disregarding relative merits and individual company strengths. As the market returns to a fundamental orientation, many industrial stocks are likely to benefit from less fearful valuations. In addition, we think some will be aided by an accelerating economy in China and a bottoming in Europe.
Financials, energy and tech stocks are our favorites for the upcoming year. While other sectors might prosper as well, we believe these three will be the primary beneficiaries of a change in market focus from macro to fundamental considerations. We also believe that they are selling at attractive valuations and are well below their historic norms.
Within these recommended sectors we particularly like:
I want to wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2013. I have enjoyed being a contributor to TheStreet this past year and hope that my work and insights have been helpful. I look forward to helping TheStreet's readers navigate -- and hopefully prosper -- in the upcoming year.

Infectious Diseases
Alcoligenes xylosoxidan; Treatment for
I have been suffering from sinus infections for 6 months. About the time it seems to be clearing up, it bounces back in full force with all the headaches,sneezing, stuffiness, post nasal, chest congestion and coughing. I have been treated with Cipro 1000/mg daily, and Ketek. A ure taken after the second treatment with Cipro grew the bacteria. My doctor had never heard of it and my email to CDC came up empty. Can you reccommend a regimen I might discuss with my doctor? For info, I am in good health, 72 years old, walk for exercise am have no real problems except for persistant skin cancers. I am fair skinned, blond when young, grew up on a farm and sun exposure was daily. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Alcaligenes xylosoxidans is an unusual cause of infections. It can be found as part of the normal bacteria which colonize certain parts of our bodies, such as the ear and the gastrointestinal tract. You did not mention what was ured. I assume it was sputum since you mention chest congestion and coughing. If this is the case it may be that the bacteria was a colonizer, in other words not truly a cause of your illness, but a bystander. On the other hand certain lung disorders can predispose a person to alcaligenes xylosoxidans infections. You should speak to your doctor about a chest xray, sinus X-rays, a repeat ure, and possibly a trip to a specialist if you are still ill.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – Major League Soccer's draw kings were at it again on Wednesday night, with the Chicago Fire and Vancouver Whitecaps FC playing to a lackluster scoreless draw at Toyota Park.
Chicago now leads MLS with a remarkable 12 draws in 20 games. Vancouver isn't far behind, with Wednesday's result giving the 'Caps 11 ties through 21 matches. The league record for draws in a season is 16, set by the Fire in 2010.
The Fire made several changes to the lineup that started their 5-1 defeat at San Jose last week, with center back pairing Bakary Soumare and Jhon Kennedy Hurtado benched, and midfielder Harry Shipp also rested. Grant Ward came in for Shipp, captain Jeff Larentowicz dropped from center midfield to pair Patrick Ianni at center back and Chris Ritter entered at center mid.
The visitors were unchanged from their 2-2 tie with FC Dallas last Sunday.
Chicago's Mike Magee had one of the game's few chances in the ninth minute, when he buzzed a free kick just wide of the right post from 25 yards. Vancouver midfielder Pedro Morales had a look two minutes later, blazing an effort over the bar.
Larentowicz snuffed out a Vancouver chance in the 34th minute, producing a timely tackle to deny Sebastian Fernandez from six yards. Larentowicz had an opportunity of his own in the 38th, when he headed a Magee corner high and wide.
Vancouver had the best chance of the match in the 49th minute, when midfielder Erik Hurtado was denied by a superb Sean Johnson kick save after the Whitecaps forward broke through for 1-v-1 in the right side of the area.
Both sides made double substitutions around the hour mark, with Romanian international midfielder Razvan Cocis entering for his MLS debut after signing with the Fire earlier this month, but he couldn't provide the difference.
Next up for the Fire is a home clash with the Columbus Crew at Toyota Park on Saturday. Vancouver has a bit of time off before its next match, taking this weekend off before returning to action with a home match against Sporting Kansas City on Aug. 10.

Paxton feels good, eyes third rehab start
SEATTLE -- James Paxton said he felt great on Wednesday after throwing three innings in his second rehab start for Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday night, which is no small step for the rookie left-hander.
The first time Paxton went through the rehab process this year following a strained lat muscle, he had to be shut down after experiencing further pain in his shoulder the day after his first rehab start. But he's now two outings into his latest return, and no red flags have been raised.
Paxton said he expects to make his next rehab start Sunday in Tacoma in a 1:35 p.m. PT game against Sacramento, then will see what happens.
"It's a big deal to be able to come back the next day and play catch and have no pain," Paxton said Wednesday after rejoining the Mariners at Safeco Field. "It's a good feeling."
Paxton had a rough first inning Tuesday against Las Vegas and wound up allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits with a walk and four strikeouts in his three frames. But the 6-foot-5 southpaw finished strong, retiring eight of the last nine batters faced, and said things are heading in the right direction.
"The last two innings were really good," he said. "That felt closer to normal for me. The first inning I was aiming the ball a little and it just felt like I was pushing the ball in there a little bit. But then I just tried to forget about location a little bit and just go after guys like I do when I'm feeling good, and it worked out a lot better for me, as the results showed. I definitely made progress in that start and I feel like next time out, I'll keep on making progress."
Manager Lloyd McClendon says Paxton will need at least one more rehab start, but is happy to see positive steps from a pitcher who has gone 5-0 with a 1.75 ERA in six Major League starts.
"I was very pleased," McClendon said. "He got it up to 70 pitches -- 60 in the game and 10 in the bullpen. And he felt good, so that was big."

Astros ride Dominguez's bat, glove past Royals
Third baseman belts decisive three-run homer, starts key double play
HOUSTON -- He's known for his glove more than his bat, and Astros third baseman Matt Dominguez showed why by starting a terrific double play in the sixth inning on Monday. He also reminded the Royals that you can't take his offense for granted, either.
Dominguez answered a three-run homer by Kansas City's Miguel Tejada in the fourth inning by clubbing his own three-run blast in the bottom of the frame to help lift the Astros to a 6-5 come-from-behind win at Minute Maid Park.
"I was scuffling a little bit this last road trip [1-for-22], but I'm trying to figure some things out and be more consistent, and I've been able to get some big hits, and hopefully the average will be there by the end of the year," Dominguez said. "The most important thing is to get the RBIs and the 'W.'"
Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel picked up his first win of the season -- and fourth of his career -- by allowing four earned runs while pitching around nine hits and four walks. He matched a career high with six strikeouts.
"Keuchel did a great job of attacking the zone and being very efficient with his pitches, and did a good job of pitching to both sides of the plate and using his offspeed stuff to induce ground-ball double plays," manager Bo Porter said. "And the defense was tremendous tonight."
The Astros are 2-1 in Keuchel's last three starts.
"He commanded the ball good," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "He changed speeds. He kept the ball down and away really well. He was real consistent."
Keuchel allowed 13 baserunners, but benefited from three double plays to end the first and fifth innings, and the 5-4-3 gem started by Dominguez in the sixth. On that play, Dominguez went to his left for the stop and spun around to throw to second baseman Jose Altuve, who made a nice turn at the bag.
"The ball got to me a little quicker than I thought," Dominguez said. "I had to take a little drop-step back, but I wanted to catch it and thought I had a chance to get two, and Jose made a great turn and it ended up being a good play."
The Astros scored twice in the third to take a 3-1 lead on a sacrifice fly by Altuve and Jason Castro's fourth homer of the season. Tejada hit a three-run homer in the fourth into the Crawford Boxes to put Kansas City ahead, 4-3. It was the first homer by the former Astros shortstop since July 16, 2011 at San Diego.
"A lot of their righties like to extend their hands and get the ball out over the plate, and I did a good job with the cutter in and stuff like that," Keuchel said. "The only pitch I'd like to have back is that changeup that actually cut on me and Tejada put a good swing on it."
The Astros rallied against Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie (5-2) in the bottom of the inning, beginning with a one-out walk by Carlos Pena and a Jimmy Paredes single. Dominguez followed with a homer into the Crawford Boxes -- his fourth of the year -- to put the Astros ahead, 6-4.
All four of Dominguez's home runs have come in the his last nine games after he didn't homer in his first 33 games of the season, and his 21 RBIs are second-most on the club behind Chris Carter's 23.
"This guy is growing up right in front of our eyes," Porter said. "Coming into the year, we all knew what we had defensively, but now you're starting to see a guy who's swinging a confident bat. I've always said that power is the last thing to develop at this level. I think he's gotten to the point where he understands himself and what the league's trying to do to him, and now he's picking his spots. You can see he has the power."
Back-to-back doubles by Eric Hosmer and Jeff Francoeur in the eighth inning got the Royals to within a run, 6-5, but Hector Ambriz stranded Francoeur by getting the final two outs in the eighth. Jose Veras worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his seventh save.
But for Porter, nothing was bigger than Dominguez's home run.
"That's what you call the 'break point,' when another team scores and it's imperative that you come back the next inning and put points on the board," the skipper said. "After you score, it's imperative to put up a zero and get back in the dugout. We did that tonight."

Three Short-Term Volatility Plays
A potentially volatile and profitable combination for a stock is large short interest and price contraction near key resistance. It sets up a platform for the classic squeeze rally, and today I have three potential candidates for this short-term volatility play.
The stock price of the data-storage device manufacturer Fusion-io (FIO) gapped up in August, taking out its 200-day moving average, and continued higher over the next two months. The drop-off that began in October took it back down through the 200- and 50-day moving averages and closed the gap in mid-November. The stock has been trading in a horizontal channel for the last two months, with the channel top currently marked by the nexus of the resistance line and the 50- and 200-day moving averages....288 more words left in this article.

Atlantic & Great Western Ry brass top, bellbottom railroad lantern made by S. B. Underhill of New York in the early 1870's. I suspect that this lantern was actually made by an early predecessor of the Adams & Westlake Co., although it's hallmarked for S. B. Underhill. This frame is identical to frames made by A&W. The cage unit lifts off of the base assembly, which consists of three components, including the fount. This allows the globe to be removed from the base. I've seen one other of these lanterns where the globe was fixed to the base collar by plaster. The globe is a **stunning**, solid red (medium cranberry) color, and pre-dates the process of applying a thin layer of red glass over clear glass, usually on the inside...known as flashing. The flashing process was used to make ruby globes for RR use from the mid-1860's until selenium red glass was perfected in the early 1900's by Corning. This globe is beautifully wheel cut A. & GT. W. RY., and is slightly over 6-inches tall. The globe's base is tapered outward and could be plastered as part of a fixed globe assembly, such as another I've seen. The diamond-shaped, vent hole filigree makes this model particularly eye-appealing.


text: Huggins not giving up on NCAA hopes By Dave Hickman February 2, 2013 Story Share LUBBOCK, Texas - Well, it was a start. At this point in the season, West Virginia's basketball team can't be picky.You want artistic, go to a museum.You want overwhelming performances, watch Michigan or Kansas.You want easy, go to Staples and push that button from the commercials.West Virginia just wants wins. And Saturday's 77-61 decision over Texas Tech was a win."A win is a win,'' point guard Juwan Staten said. "If it comes on a buzzer-beater, if it comes by 20 points, a win is a win. And we definitely need wins, so we'll take them however we can get them.''Saturday's win over Texas Tech at a beautiful building called the United Spirit Arena was as important as any West Virginia has had this season. Granted, there haven't been many, so the competition isn't all that fierce. But if there was a make-or-break game for the Mountaineers, this was it.Consider that at 9-11 coming into the game, the season was hanging by a thread. This was the start of a five-game stretch in which West Virginia plays the other three similarly-positioned Big 12 teams (in other words, at the bottom of the standings) four times. Texas Tech is just not very good, frankly. The Red Raiders aren't TCU bad, but they aren't very good. And for a while they gave the Mountaineers a fight.Had West Virginia lost, it would be 9-12 today, 2-6 in the Big 12 and tied for the worst overall record in the league. With the win, though, the Mountaineers are suddenly at the top of that four-team jumble that also includes Texas, Texas Tech and TCU. They are a game closer not to joining the mix of six teams at the top of the league (although that's the ultimate goal), but to climbing out of that group of basement dwellers.And, for the second day in a row, it was enough to get Bob Huggins talking NCAA tournament again.Sure, it's still a long, long shot. But as far as he's concerned it's not a dead dream. If it were, he'd be in a real pickle because motivation would be terribly problematic. "Somebody asked me if we were playing to get into the NIT,'' Huggins said.He basically scoffed at the notion."If we can make a run here,'' he said, before his thought rather deteriorated into talk of his team's strength of schedule, the difficult road games and how the NCAA supposedly takes all of that into consideration when drawing up the 68-team field. "If we can get to 17, 18 [wins], play well in the conference tournament, then we're going to have a chance,'' Huggins said. "It's not over yet. At least that's what they tell you to do. They tell you to play a schedule. They want you to play a schedule. So you play a schedule.''Well, indeed West Virginia has played a schedule. The Mountaineers have faced both teams ranked No. 1 this week, Michigan and Kansas. They went across the country to face Gonzaga. They were somehow still in the Top 100 of the RPI going into Saturday's games despite being two games under .500. Their RPI strength of schedule is 17th. They have played fewer home games than virtually anyone else in the country.But the key to playing that kind of schedule, of course, is winning some of the games. To date, the Mountaineers have not. They are 0-8 against teams in the RPI Top 50.A win over Texas Tech isn't going to help those numbers. Nor will a win over Texas at home on Monday or TCU in a week back here in Texas. There's another game with Tech again shortly after that.But the idea isn't to earn an NCAA tournament berth by beating these teams, but beat these teams and build some momentum to have a chance against the teams that could come later. In the final three weeks of the season, the Mountaineers face each of the six teams at the top of the standings - three at home and three on the road. Win the home games in there, maybe steal one on the road and perhaps West Virginia is in that 17-18 range that Huggins points to.Win another in the conference tournament and suddenly the bubble is real. "Obviously we're a long way away right now,'' Huggins said. "But if we can get on a run here, I think we've got a chance.''At this point, Huggins might be one of the few who believes that. Perhaps if the Mountaineers can beat Texas again on Monday, win again down here in Texas against TCU next week and then get things going just a little bit, they might have a chance.Which is why the win over Texas Tech here was the biggest of the season. Without that one, the chance would be gone.Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dphickman1 Story Share Story Share Trending Now 1 Police seek car driven by woman found dead in Kanawha River 2 Facebook founder visits Cabin Creek Health Systems 3 Teen pleads guilty to involuntary manslaughter in Oakes Field shooting 4 Man allegedly cuts father in Rand over argument about sandwich 5 Rhode Island bank claims Justice companies owe $4.2M on helicopter loan Prep roundup: Herbert Hoover boys knock off Sissonville Previous Story Buffalo still trying to measure up Next Story

Chuck Hagel was born in North Platte in a two-room house on the edge of town, on Oct. 4, 1946.
His father, Charles Hagel, had moved to North Platte after World War II, where he served two-and-a-half years in the South Pacific. The Hagel family owned Hagel Lumber Company in Ainsworth. When Charles struck out on his own after WWII, he headed for North Platte. He arrived in December 1945 to manage the Cook Paint and Varnish Store.
A few months later, Charles married Betty Dunn of Grand Island and the couple settled into a small house near the edge of North Platte. Chuck was born at St. Marys Hospital. Six months later, the young family moved to Ainsworth where his father worked at his grandfathers lumber store. They stayed there 10 years. Three more boys were born.
Although Chuck only stayed briefly in North Platte, he recalls it as a kind of magical place.
There is a little romanticism to it, because you are shaped and molded by events and times and people, he told the Bulletin during an extensive interview in 2003, complete with family photos.
My godfather was a dentist there, Hagel said. In fact, he just passed away a few years ago. He and his wife were friends of my parents, and he and my mother kept in touch. They would communicate four or five times a year.
As Hagel travels the nation and the world, he often tells people he was born in the same city where Buffalo Bill, the international showman who introduced the world to the West, had his ranch.
In those years, lumberyards seemed immense to the boy, like Moorish Castles, he said. By the time the family moved to Rushville in 1957, Chuck was 11 and was broadening his interests in the world, reading national and international magazines in junior high. He came across Life and Time magazines and read Hugh Sideys weekly columns on the presidency, enduring chiding from classmates for reading old mens magazines.
I always had an interest in history, he said. I was fascinated with biographies and history and the understanding that it is people who change the world. I was always fascinated with what motivates people and what leads their lives.
Looking to improve life for his family, Chucks father moved to Scottsbluff in 1957, to the Cox Lumber Company near downtown.
In 1958 the Hagels moved to Terrytown, a village near Scottsbluff built around Nebraskas only gasoline refinery. Two years later, the Cox Lumber owners sold the business and his fathers job ended. Charles moved to the E. S. Clark Lumber Company in York and the family followed.
They moved one more time, to Columbus and the Gerhold Concrete Company.
Hagels father died in 1962 when Chuck was a sophomore at St. Bonaventure High School in Columbus.
He graduated in 1964. He said those years shaped him for the better.
Each individual is a product of his environment, he said. We are grounded and anchored in a sureness of values, of standards and expectations, and no where in a finer way than in western Nebraska or those areas that still have the flavor of a pioneering community.
I am a fourth-generation Nebraskan, and it helped give me a strong sense of that spirit, he said. We had to live a hard life, which gave me some self-confidence.
He said not only does small town life teach forthrightness; it develops tolerance of others, despite any differences with them.
You play by the rules, you are what you are and you believe what you believe, and you are not ashamed of it, he said. And, we (in the Midwest) have a certain tolerance. You have to be tolerant of others because you live so near to them; you know so much about them. In the Midwest, you are able to get inside a person a little more, and you respect them. I think Midwesterners are far more tolerant of others than people in any other part of the country.
After high school, Hagel attended Wayne State and Kearney State and followed an interest in radio. He studied at the Brown Institute for Radio and Television in Minneapolis and landed a job with radio station KLMS in Lincoln. In 1968, he enlisted in the Army and served in Vietnam. When he returned, he began working toward his lifes ambition becoming a Senator.
I never wanted to be anything else, he said, not a governor or a representative. I always wanted to be a Senator.
He finished college at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and one day in April 1971, he used a Brandies Department Store credit card to buy two pin-stripe suits and headed for Washington, D.C. to find a job.
He came home one week later somewhat disillusioned that no one seemed to want him, but the trip paid off. Weeks later, Congressman John Y. McCollister from Omaha called and asked him to come to D.C. for a part-time clerical job in his office. One clerical job led to another as he worked for McCollister, and his career in government was underway.
One day it was a perfect, bucolic spring day, he told the Bulletin. There was no wind and little humidity. The flowers were beautiful. I sat on the steps of the Russell Senate Office Building and just soaked it all in. I must have sat there an hour. My heart opened to it; I just fell in love; I couldnt get enough of it. What that trip did was open the world for me. Current events do that; they teach you that you can be part of everything going on in the world.

If you believe Kelly's handling of the Alabama offense in Monday's BCS National Championship Game was poor, then his decision making in its aftermath has been abominable.
The coach that has often been lauded for an incredible attention to detail, hasn't devoted much thought to how his decisions throughout this week will be viewed by Notre Dame fans, alumni, administrators, students, and future Fighting Irish players.
This past week should've been about reflection, and ultimately, tremendous satisfaction surrounding the program as it heads into an off-season filled with excitement. Instead, it has been filled with anxiety, shock, and for many, anger towards the coach – and it has absolutely nothing to do with Monday's defeat.
Obviously, Kelly is intrigued by coaching in the NFL, and this is why he chose to interview with the Philadelphia Eagles just hours after being manhandled by the Crimson Tide.
And that is fine.
However, what wasn't kosher with many was how he handled the matter.
If he genuinely wants to advance his career at the highest level, no one can begrudge him of that, it is his career. However, what he couldn't afford to do is to let the matter drag out over the course of a week and negate all of the positive emotions stemming from a national runner-up finish.
Kelly needed to have a conversation with the Eagles and come to a conclusion within 24 hours – one way or the other. His interviewing, then leaving the country and letting the situation take on a speculative life of its own throughout the national sports scene, was a terrible decision for him and his current football program.
There are several Irish recruits expected to enroll at the university on Tuesday and they and their families currently have no idea who will be molding those young lives over the next four years.
In addition, given Kelly's position, he should not have involved himself in the interview process in the first place. If he wants the job, that is fine. Go ahead and talk with the team and lay out your intentions and philosophies. But in being the football coach at Notre Dame, coming off an appearance in the national championship game, he shouldn't have needed to interview.
Nearly 27 million people watched Kelly coach on Monday. The Irish are the most renowned collegiate program in the country, including Alabama. He meets with the media four times each week. There are no questions about how he handles himself and his team that the Eagles could not have already gotten answers to. Kelly and this program have the stature necessary to simply accept or reject the opportunity.
Philadelphia is reportedly spending today interviewing Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley. In addition, the Eagles' leadership will meet with Cincinnati assistant coach Jay Gruden on Monday. As it turns out, Kelly is just one of seven candidates to be granted an interview for this position.
If the Irish Nation feels that Monday's loss was embarrassing, how will they feel when Philadelphia hires Gruden (not that one) over Kelly?
Terrible, is the answer to that question.
Monday's game should have been a defining moment in the life and career of Kelly. Given his actions ever since the clock read zero, it indeed has been.

SUPERMARINE face Minety in Dorset & Wilts 1 North on Saturday looking to set the record straight.
The South Marston side were trounced 38-5 by tomorrow's opponents on home soil earlier in the campaign, putting in a performance head coach Sean Millwaters branded their worst of the season.
However, this weekend they have the chance to get their own back, with victory potentially propelling Millwaters & Co to the top of the table if results elsewhere go their way.
"It's a big game. Minety at our place was probably the worst we've played all year," said Millwaters. "We've lost three games all season, two games by a point – Devizes and Bradford away – and in this game we were taken apart in the first 20 minutes.
"This for us is a tester to ensure it doesn't happen again. We had a really poor 20 minutes that gave Minety the game.
"If the results go in our favour we can be top two or top three certainly. As long as we stay in this group towards the end of the season anything can happen."
Marine's scheduled clash with Devizes 2nds was called off a week ago due to a waterlogged pitch and a similar fate could befall tomorrow's fixture after another seven days of horrendous weather in the region.
If it does go ahead both teams go into the contest a little underbaked, with neither side having played since before Christmas.
Millwaters is convinced the lengthy break will not have affected his players come kick-off, however, and he is eager to get a game in. "No one's got to rearrange those fixtures, it just would have been nice to have a game going into this weekend because we have a top-of-the-table clash but Minety haven't played either and unless it stops raining now I'd be very surprised if we played this week," he said.
"I know our pitches are unplayable and we've probably got some of the best pitches around. Hopefully it will all go ahead because we want to play. It's a big game, though all games are big games in the second half of the season.
"We want to start playing some games of rugby. When we get to the end of January and February we'll lose games to the frost anyway, as we always do."
Elsewhere, in Southern Counties North, Swindon College Old Boys host Milton Keynes. Old Boys are still searching for their first victory of the season.

The Passwords
A man worked for a high-security institution, and one day he went in to work only to find that he could not log in to his computer terminal. His password wouldn't work. Then he remembered that the passwords are reset every month for security purposes. So he went to his boss and they had this conversation:
Man-"Hey boss, my password is out of date."
Boss-"Yes, that's right. The password is different, but if you listen carefully you should be able to figure out the new one: It has the same amount of letters as your old password, but only four of the letters are the same."
Man: "Thanks boss."
With that, he went and correctly logged into his station.
What was the new password?
BONUS: What was his old password?
HintIt is nine letters long. Also, a "password" can be more than one word...
AnswerThe old one was : Out of date
The new one is: Different
He said: My password is "Out of date." And the boss told him the new one when he said: "The password is different."

SANFORD, Fla. - The man and woman stole about $1,000 worth of stuff from the Victoria's Secret at Seminole Towne Center in Sanford, according to the incident report.
"All of the items on the floor, the main floor, those are the items they had taken," said Ronny Neal with Sanford Police.
The burglars swipe the lingerie right off the shelves of Victoria's Secret. In total, 20 bras worth around $1,040.
"That's a lot of money worth in merchandise for somebody to think they can just walk in and take," said mother Courtney Milroy.
She says they are just bras, so she wonders what the thieves plan to do with them.
A big clue came from Facebook, the Sanford police report states just before the two crooks went in to steal the bras, the woman wrote going "shopping" to "Victoria's Secret", "place your orders."
Lilliana, who works at the mall, said, "I think people need to watch because right now with Facebook, a lot of people, a lot of things going on."
"Even not just with this case, but they go online and they sell them and sometimes they do it locally within communities and that's how we catch them," Neal said.
Sanford police haven't found the crooks yet, but investigators also want to know if they are behind another incident where a thief made off with 75 bras and panties at the same store.
Employees say they've seen the two before and that is actually how they found one of their Facebook pages under a street name.
"I think that's pretty bold of people to walk into a store and take whatever they think they deserve," Neal said.
There is no surveillance video of the incident. When investigators looked for the Facebook page, they were not able to find it.

Hope for passing a measure to double Alameda County's transportation sales tax to a full cent dimmed Monday with the latest election results that left the tax increase trailing by more than 4,200 votes.
The Measure B1 sales tax increase was trailing with 65.79 percent in support — short of the 66.66 percent required approval — after the county counted more than 93,000 more ballots over the weekend.
The race isn't over because tens of thousands of additional provisional ballots are not yet counted.
But the totals released Monday include all ballots cast at the polls and nearly all mail-in ballots, minus a few still in various stages of processing because of damage or mismarking, said County Registrar of Voters Dave Macdonald. Provisional ballots are being processed now and will be finished in the next few days.
The percentage of votes favoring Measure B1 nudged up slightly — by 0.41 percent, but transit officials were disappointed that they still have so much ground to make up.
"You can imagine this dampened spirits," said Tess Lengyel, deputy director for the Alameda County Transportation Commission, the agency that proposed the tax increase. "It's still not over, though. We are going to continue to watch the results until the counting is finished."
As of Monday afternoon, the measure was supported by 318,089 votes — more than 4200 votes short of reaching the two-thirds threshold.
Measure B1, touted as relief for traffic congestion, would provide $7.8 billion over three decades for roads, freeways and public transit.
In other races:
Assembly District 18
Rob Bonta became the first Filipino to win a seat in the state Assembly by beating Abel Guillen, a Peralta Community College District trustee. The race for Assembly District 18 was close on election night. But mail-in ballots gave Bonta, an Alameda City Council member, a decisive win with 69,282 votes. That accounted for a little over 51 percent of the vote. Guillen received 66,407 votes, just under 49 percent. Assembly District 18 includes most of Alameda, San Leandro and most of Oakland.
Assembly District 20
Further South, in Assembly District 20, former Hayward City Councilman Bill Quirk was barely edging out optometrist Jennifer Ong in the race to represent a wide swath of territory, from Hayward to North Fremont. Quirk, a retired scientist, received 62,416 votes versus Ong's 60,884.
The latest vote totals did not alter the landscape in Oakland where two City Council candidates retained narrow, but almost certainly decisive leads after the most recent ranked-choice voting tabulations. In District 1, Dan Kalb continued to lead Amy Lemley 52 percent to 48 percent. However, Lemley on Monday was not ready to concede. In District 3, Lynette Gibson McElhaney retained a 6 percent lead over Sean Sullivan, who has already conceded.
Voters narrowly rejected Measure S, which would have prohibited sitting on sidewalks in commercial zones from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The measure, which was supported by Mayor Tom Bates and merchant groups, was trailing by 1,583 votes. In a closer race, it appears that voters are also likely to reject Measure T, which would allowed for more development in West Berkeley. The measure is trailing by 440 votes.
Councilman Bill Harrison continued to lead Steve Cho, slightly increasing his margin of victory after the latest batch of votes were counted. Harrison has 34.1 percent of the vote, while Cho — who trails by 1,384 votes — has received 31.9 percent. Councilwoman Anu Natarajan is third with 26.2 percent, Aziz Akbari is fourth with 5.5 percent and Linda Susoev has tallied 2.1 percent.
San Leandro
In the race for the District 2 seat on the City Council, incumbent Ursula Reed came out on top in ranked-choice voting. Reed had 50.96 percent of the ranked-choice votes; Morgan Mack-Rose had 40 percent.
The Measure L parcel tax, as of Monday afternoon, was within a percentage point of garnering the two-thirds votes needed to pass, with 65.93 percent in favor and 34 percent against.
San Lorenzo
In the school board race, Norman Fobert pulled 50 votes ahead of Jim Sherman for third place. In first place was Penny Peck and in second place, Helen Foster, with three votes separating them.
Castro Valley
Newcomer Charmaine Banther won third place, with 19.52 percent of the vote, over Kunio Okui, who had 18.43 percent. John J. Barbieri captured first place, with 26.25 percent, and Jo A.S. Loss was in second, with 19.72 percent.

The WillSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
Detective Tannaj was looking at the dead body that lay sprawled on the ground. She noticed that the man had a great collection of Greek mythology ornaments. He had huge crystal statues of Zeus and the other gods and goddesses. A policeman handed the man's will to the detective. The will read:
"I, Thomas Moore III, do give all of my land, my home, and my beautiful platinum statue of Venus to my Daughter Cynthia Cordelia."
That night Cynthia Cordelia was arrested for murder and forgery. Why?
AnswerThe man was a great collector of GREEK mythology. When Detective Tannaj saw that the statue was referred to as "Venus" in the will, she got suspicious. Surely the old man would have known that Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of love, not Venus (who is the ROMAN goddess of love).

Apparently the FBI has had a lot of troubles when trying to monitor Gmail, Google Voice, and Dropbox in real-time. They have been getting shot down due to the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, which does not force ISPs or phone companies to install surveillance equipment for these types of services. Monitoring email, cloud, and chat services is essential, because "Those communications are being used for criminal conversations." The FBI is going to push with all of their might to fix that this year, making it a "top priority." Because you and I send email to each other via Gmail's servers, which are using SSL encryption, it doesn't make it easy, but not impossible, to monitor. Instant access is what they want!
Despite the pervasiveness of law enforcement surveillance of digital communication, the FBI still has a difficult time monitoring Gmail, Google Voice, and Dropbox in real time. But that may change soon, because the bureau says it has made gaining more powers to wiretap all forms of Internet conversation and cloud storage a "top priority" this year.

The Trauma ICU of a Level 1 trauma center is the setting for this thought-provoking novel, which reveals the ruthlessness of medical education and practice. James Fleming recounts a day in the life of a resident in emergency medicine at an urban teaching hospital. The novel's title, which translates loosely as I thirst, echoes the Christ of St. John. Tengo Sed's protagonist, however, known only as Hovercraft because he is always around, always feeling on edge, is not a savior but a hapless resident with a tendency toward mysticism. Through Hovercraft's sleep-deprived eyes we see patients and their families, doctors, and nurses, and we share Hovercraft's increasingly nightmarish perceptions of a world in which things are not going right.

"ER Intern, No Sleep, & A Coffee Diet"
What could go wrong?
Emergency room: urban desert hospital— meet a young ER intern nicknamed Hovercraft. He's thrown into a world about which he had no idea.
Written like a memoir, by an emergency room doctor in Albuquerque this novel doesn't let up. Every time you think you know what really goes on in triage, the story will throw you for another loop.

Yes, thankfully only one.
It's good that you've not noticed... it means we must be doing a decent job of keeping on top of the situation.

Version 2 of the AWS Mobile SDK
- This article and sample apply to Version 1 of the AWS Mobile SDK. If you are building new apps, we recommend you use Version 2. For details, please visit the AWS Mobile SDK page.
- This content is being maintained for historical reference.
Amazon DynamoDB is a fast, highly scalable, highly available, cost-effective, non-relational database service. Amazon DynamoDB removes traditional scalability limitations on data storage while maintaining low latency and predictable performance.
The AWS SDK for Android supports Amazon DynamoDB, and this article discusses a new AWS SDK for Android add-on library that enables you to map your client-side classes to the Amazon DynamoDB tables. The individual object instances map to items in a table, and they enable you to perform various create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations on items, and to execute queries. Please review the User Preferences sample app to familiarize youreslf with using Amazon DynamoDB and Token Vending Machine (TVM) with the AWS SDK for Android.
The complete sample code and project files are included in the AWS SDK for Android. A link to the SDK is available at the end of this article.
In Amazon DynamoDB, a database is a collection of tables. A table is a collection of items,
and each item is a collection of attributes. For this app, each item in the table
represents an individual user. Each item has multiple attributes, which include the
user's name and preferences. Each item also has a hash key�in this case,
userNo�which is the primary key for the table. This item in
Amazon DynamoDB will be mapped to a
UserPreference Java object, and developers can
directly manipulate the item through the
UserPreference instance.
The app demonstrates how to add, modify, and remove users, and retrieve their preference data using Amazon DynamoDB OM. The Amazon DynamoDB object model (OM) does not provide APIs to create, update, or delete tables. Only the low-level APIs enable you to perform these operations. The User Preferences article discusses how to use the low-level APIs with the AWS SDK for Android.
Creating an Amazon DynamoDB Client and Mapper
To make low-level service requests to Amazon DynamoDB, you need to instantiate an Amazon DynamoDB client. In order to use the Amazon DynamoDB OM, you need to instantiate a DynamoDB Mapper object with the Amazon DynamoDB client. The code below shows how to create an Amazon DynamoDB OM using the stored temporary credentials from the TVM.
AWSCredentials credentials = AmazonSharedPreferencesWrapper .getCredentialsFromSharedPreferences(this.sharedPreferences); AmazonDynamoDBClient ddb = new AmazonDynamoDBClient(credentials); DynamoDBMapper mapper = new DynamoDBMapper(ddb);
Defining Mapping Class
You can map a class in your client app to the TestUserPereference table as shown in the
following code example. The code snippet defines a
UserPreference class and
uses the annotations that are defined by Amazon DynamoDB to establish the mapping.
@DynamoDBTableidentifies the target table in Amazon DynamoDB.
@DynamoDBHashKeymaps a class property to the hash attribute of the table.
@DynamoDBAttributemaps a property to an item attribute.
NOTE: The DynamoDB OM provides the
@DynamoDBVersionAttribute annotation type that you can use to enable optimistic locking that ensures that the client-side item that you are updating (or deleting) is the same as the item on the server-side. For more information on how to use optimistic locking with the DynamoDB OM, please read this Developer Guide. For a complete list of the annotations that the DynamoDB OM offers for you to map your classes and properties to tables and attributes, go to this topic.
@DynamoDBTable(tableName = "TestUserPereference") public static class UserPreference { private int userNo; private String firstName; private String lastName; private Boolean autoLogin; private Boolean vibrate; private Boolean silent; private String colorTheme; @DynamoDBHashKey(attributeName = "userNo") public int getUserNo() { return userNo; } public void setUserNo(int userNo) { this.userNo = userNo; } @DynamoDBAttribute(attributeName = "firstName") public String getFirstName() { return firstName; } public void setFirstName(String firstName) { this.firstName = firstName; } @DynamoDBAttribute(attributeName = "lastName") public String getLastName() { return lastName; } public void setLastName(String lastName) { this.lastName = lastName; } @DynamoDBAttribute(attributeName = "autoLogin") public Boolean isAutoLogin() { return autoLogin; } public void setAutoLogin(Boolean autoLogin) { this.autoLogin = autoLogin; } @DynamoDBAttribute(attributeName = "vibrate") public Boolean isVibrate() { return vibrate; } public void setVibrate(Boolean vibrate) { this.vibrate = vibrate; } @DynamoDBAttribute(attributeName = "silent") public Boolean isSilent() { return silent; } public void setSilent(Boolean silent) { this.silent = silent; } @DynamoDBAttribute(attributeName = "colorTheme") public String getColorTheme() { return colorTheme; } public void setColorTheme(String colorTheme) { this.colorTheme = colorTheme; } }
NOTE: Please note that
userNo is primitive, and
vibrate, and
silent have nullable types. Primitives and nullable types behave differently with the DynamoDB OM. Nullable types that haven't been set will not be sent to the Amazon DynamoDB on a
save(); on the other hand, primitives that haven't been set will be sent to the Amazon DynamoDB as their default values. Also, the version attributes must use nullable types. For this example app,
userNo is a hash key that always has a value, so it's defined as a primitive value.
vibrate, and
silent are defined as nullable types so that it's easier to change their default values in the future. In general, using nullable types is recommended.
Creating Users (Item Creation)
For each user, we'll create an item in the table. An item is a collection of attribute/value pairs. For each item, we'll have three attributes:
firstName, and
lastName. With the low-level API, these are added to a put item request in order to create the item. With the Amazon DynamoDB OM, you instantiate a
UserPreference object and set its attributes; then you can persist the object into the Amazon DynamoDB table by calling the
save method on the DynamoDB Mapper. This simplifies the code and makes it more readable.
|Low-level API
|Amazon DynamoDB OM
UserPreference userPreference = new UserPreference(); userPreference.setUserNo(i); userPreference.setFirstName(Constants.getRandomName()); userPreference.setLastName(Constants.getRandomName()); mapper.save(userPreference);
Deleting Users (Item Deletion)
Removing a user from the list means deleting the corresponding item from the table. With the low-level API, we specify the item we want to delete using the hash key for the item. With the Amazon DynamoDB OM, you can simply call a
delete method and pass a
UserPreference object to the DynamoDB Mapper object.
|Low-level API
|Amazon DynamoDB OM
Key primaryKey = new Key().withHashKeyElement(targetValue); DeleteItemRequest request = new DeleteItemRequest() .withTableName(PropertyLoader .getInstance() .getTestTableName()) .withKey(primaryKey); ddb.deleteItem(request);
Listing Users (Table Scan)
We can retrieve a collection of users with a scan request. A scan request simply scans the table and returns the results in an undetermined order.
The list returned with the Amazon DynamoDB OM is lazily loaded when possible, so calls to DynamoDB will be made only as needed. When you need to download all of the dataset in advance, you can call a
size() method on the list to fetch the entire list.
Although the List returned in the low-level API is modifiable, the returned list in the Amazon DynamoDB OM is unmodifiable, and any attempts to modify the list will result in an exception. You may need to create a modifiable List object and move all of the data in order to use the result as a data source for a modifiable user interface component such as an editable
Scan is an expensive operation and should be used with care to avoid disrupting your higher priority production traffic on the table. See the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide for more recommendations for safely using the Scan operation.
|Low-level API
|Amazon DynamoDB OM
ScanRequest request = new ScanRequest(); request.setTableName(PropertyLoader .getInstance() .getTestTableName()); ScanResult result = ddb.scan(request); List
DynamoDBScanExpression scanExpression = new DynamoDBScanExpression(); PaginatedScanList
Retrieving a User's Preferences (Item Retrieval)
Knowing a user's
userNo, the hash key of the table, it is easy to find the item for the user.
This next snippet shows how to get all the attributes for an item using the hash key.
|Low-level API
|Amazon DynamoDB OM
AttributeValue userNoAttr = new AttributeValue().withN(String .valueOf(userNo)); Key primaryKey = new Key().withHashKeyElement(userNoAttr); GetItemRequest request = new GetItemRequest() .withTableName(PropertyLoader .getInstance() .getTestTableName()) .withKey(primaryKey); GetItemResult result = ddb.getItem(request); Map
UserPreference userPreference = mapper.load(UserPreference.class, userNo);
Modifying User Preferences (Item Update)
With the low-level API, a collection of attribute/value pairs are added to an update item request. With the DynamoDB Amazon DynamoDB OM, you update attributes on a
UserPreference object, and then you can simply call the
save method on the DynamoDB Mapper.
|Low-level API
|Amazon DynamoDB OM
AttributeValue av = new AttributeValue().withS(value); AttributeValueUpdate avu = new AttributeValueUpdate() .withValue(av) .withAction(AttributeAction.PUT); Key primaryKey = new Key() .withHashKeyElement(targetValue); HashMap
updateUserPreference.setAutoLogin(isAutoLogin); updateUserPreference.setVibrate(isVibrate); updateUserPreference.setSilent(isSilent); updateUserPreference.setColorTheme(colorTheme); mapper.save(updateUserPreference);

Major League Lacrosse announced Thursday the signing of players for the 2012 MLL season, including several Ohio Machine players. Check out what a few of those players have to say about the Machine's inaugural season!
Max Schmidt (University of Maryland) - D:
"I'm looking forward to playing with a exciting group of guys who all have one goal in mind this season – to win an MLL Championship. And for a lacrosse player, it's a dream come to true to have the opportunity to play in front of my hometown crowd at the highest level possible. Every kid dreams of being a professional athlete and even more being a professional athlete in your own backyard. I am extremely blessed to have the opportunity to play for the Ohio Machine and I intend to make the most of it this season!"
Brian Phipps (University of Maryland) - GK:
"I am very excited to be a part of the growth of this sport and Major League Lacrosse into the Midwest as we start to get ready for the 2012 inaugural season with the Ohio Machine. It is wonderful to see more teams being added to the league, and looking forward to helping make this team a contender for the championship. We have an extremely talented group of guys that will be dedicated to winning and helping the Machine excel in its first MLL season."
Kevin Ridgway (Notre Dame) - D:
I think one of the things I am looking forward to most this season has to do with the buzz that has been created about the Machine for this summer. From what I have seen fans are extremely excited to have us playing in Ohio, so I can't wait to get out there and compete in front of a boisterous home crowd. When you have great support behind you, it makes games that much more fun. I love playing in an atmosphere where it's loud, people are having a good time, and they genuinely care how well you perform on the field. Personally, it gives me that little extra edge and I can't wait to experience that this summer playing for the Machine.
Dan Groot (University of Maryland) - M:
"As a player I couldn't be more excited to compete for the Machine this summer, an expansion team with a lot of excitement surrounding the organization. Adding a pro team to the Midwest is a great thing for this League and I am really looking forward to playing with some old teammates, Rattlers and Terps included, as well as new teammates who are all focused on the same goal, winning a championship in the Ohio Machine's inaugural season."
Eric O'Brien (The Ohio State University) - FO/M:
"Being given a second opportunity to play in the League, I couldn't ask for anything more. I'm very much looking forward to playing for the Machine this spring in front of the hometown fans! They are my fuel and push me harder each week as we approach the season. After graduating from high school, the big stage at the time for lacrosse in Columbus was the Buckeyes. Now I have the opportunity to take it a step further with the new team in town on an even bigger stage! Training camp will be like Christmas…not knowing what to expect from the organization. I can't wait until that first training camp weekend in April! Playing box lacrosse leading right up to training camp couldn't be any better. Tuned skills, in shape, ready to "meat" some opponents around on the field. I'm excited for the 2012 season in Columbus!!!"

19 fun car road trip activities
Turn an ordinary drive into a world of fun adventures and possibilities. more
Your child's toddler years are defined by a natural curiosity about life that will occasionally and inevitably lead her into trouble - while she's learning about the world through experimentation, she will need guidance from you to learn what's right and what's wrong. Discipline at this age, needs to be all about focussing on positive reinforcement.
Sometimes, in order to win the war, you have to lose a battle or two. Don't tussle over every little thing with your toddler. You'll both be miserable. Instead pick the battles you need to win, for example, teaching her to hold your hand when crossing the road every time, and then be prepared to concede in more trivial affairs - she wants to wear a bikini and tights to daycare… you think she looks silly, but will anyone be hurt if she gets her way? Hard to admit, but probably not.

Sounds dumb, right? West is way better than the East. But would you rather be the favorite and have to play lets say the Suns, Clippers, and Spurs and have a very tough road. Or is it easier to have to go through a fresh Miami in the ECF and be the under dogs after series against weaker teams like Atlanta and Chicago? In my opinion it is very close. I would take our route probably given the opportunity, but I believe it is a tough one to answer.
Thought it'd be fun to ask the board what they thought.

ORGANISERS of Oxfordshire's longest-running festival of new music have announced the line-up for this year's event, declaring it as the best yet.
Indie-rock bands The Cribs and White Lies will headline this summer's Truck festival, which takes place at Hill Farm, Steventon, on July 18 and 19.
They will be joined by an array of rock, pop and folk acts, including Oxford band Stornoway, Worcestershire indie-rock group Peace, pop six-piece Los Campesinos, Welsh rockers Kids In Glass Houses and hard-rocker Andrew Fetterly Wilkes-Krier – better known by his stage name Andrew WK.
Also booked are Swim Deep, Cerebral Ballzy, Itch, Eliza And The Bear, Lonely The Brave, Darlia, Circa Waves, Flyte, Nothing But Thieves, Nordic Giants and Black Moth. More names are yet to be announced.
- White Lies
Festival organiser James Goodall said: "I think this could be the best Truck on record.
"We have just unleashed this brilliant line-up but we still have many more things ready to be announced, so watch out."
He said a record number of early tickets had already been sold, and predicted another sell-out.
The Cribs, formed around the nucleus of twins Gary and Ryan Jarman and younger brother Ross, are no strangers to Hill Farm, having played the festival 10 years ago.
The band, which previously featured former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, are currently touring in Florida.
Truck festival will host six stages offering everything from rock and hip-hop to folk, blues, reggae and roots.
This year's event will also see the return of the Veterans and Virgins Stage, programming favourite acts from former Trucks and up-and-coming bands.
New bands are voted for on the Truck Facebook page – more than 600 submissions have already been received.
Truck festival was established in 1998 by musician brothers Robin and Joe Bennett, from Steventon.
It is now organised by the team from Derbyshire's Y Not Festival.
Stornoway are a perennial Truck favourite, having made their name at the festival.
The band's Oli Steadman, said he was delighted to be returning after a three-year gap.
Speaking to the Oxford Mail from Istanbul, where the band performed two shows, he said: "We are delighted to be going back to Truck, and it's great to be so high up the bill.
- Stornoway
"To see The Cribs playing is also going to be a real treat as I'm a huge fan."
He added: "It's a real pleasure to be playing Oxfordshire again – the last time was Oxford Town Hall a year ago.
"It will also give us a chance to showcase some brand new songs."
"We owe a lot to Truck. It was the first break we had and the Oxford music scene still has an innate link with it.
"Even though it has changed, the energy of the festival continues and it is an annual event for Oxford musicians who get to go and see what each other are doing."
- Tickets are £74 from truckfestival.com

With Ross on DL, Lavarnway makes first start
ST. PETERSBURG -- With catcher David Ross sidelined for the next few days following a concussion, Ryan Lavarnway made his first Major League start of 2013 on Tuesday against the Rays.
Lavarnway got the start against lefty phenom Matt Moore.
"I'm looking forward to him being able to carry over the work he's been doing in Triple-A, both in terms of handling the game, throwing people out," said manager John Farrell. "And he's been swinging the bat much better over the last three to four weeks. He's going to be called upon to produce."
The Red Sox also face a top-notch lefty on Wednesday in David Price, but it sounds like Jarrod Saltalamacchia will be back in the lineup for that one.
Hitting lefties is not a strength for the switch-hitting Saltalamacchia, but Farrell sees other reasons to start his No. 1 catcher against Price.
"We balance it with the way he and Jon [Lester] have worked together. We balance it with the different style with Moore and Price," Farrell said. "Moore is more of a high fastball pitcher, and Ryan is more equipped to handle that type of guy. Salty is a guy that has handled some left-handed pitchers when they're down in the zone, so right now there's every indication that Salty will be behind the plate [Wednesday]."
Though Ross is eligible to come off the disabled list by Sunday, the Red Sox know that you can never rush a concussion.
"We're still taking this very much day to day," Farrell said. "He'll get reexamined in Boston over the next couple of days before rejoining us in Minnesota. There's no template on these, when the symptoms start to progress. Yesterday was a tougher day for him with some of those symptoms, so we've got to work off him in this. He'll be fully evaluated in Boston. Where we go from there will be dependent upon the diagnosis and the recommendations of the doctors there."

Jean Grosperrin -1990- Cognac Fins Bois COGNAC DE COLLECTION
Collection Cognac – Artisan Vintage
Nice mahogany hue. Classical nose, well balanced and pleasant. Tasted straight, the effect was very tannic ; mouth-drying and somewhat bitter. Water brings the oily notes forward (adding liqurice), introduces some white flowers notes. After a few minutes, the white flowers notes turn into fruity notes. Viscous, even waxy mouth-feel; some sweetness to start and then spicy (nutmeg, liquorices, cloves) and bitter (wreck wood). Finishes long and nervous.Learn MoreExcl. Tax: €97.50 Incl. Tax: €117.00
