Hitting homers is exciting, but not necessary to win
The home run is the bomb. Who doesn't love to watch those missiles rise and land deep in the seats or travel out of the stadium and across the street, cracking car windows?
Babe Ruth made it the weapon of choice almost a century ago, and it remains the single most compelling act in the game in the hearts and minds of a high percentage of fans.
The home run is the bomb. Who doesn't love to watch those missiles rise and land deep in the seats or travel out of the stadium and across the street, cracking car windows?
Babe Ruth made it the weapon of choice almost a century ago, and it remains the single most compelling act in the game in the hearts and minds of a high percentage of fans.
For all the time spent talking about home runs and admiring them on the nightly highlight shows, however, evidence suggests they might just be a bit overrated in the grand scheme of things.
This should be encouraging news for fans of the Cardinals, Dodgers, Pirates, Reds, Yankees, Nationals, D-backs and Royals. Not one of these postseason contenders cracks the MLB top 10 in home runs.
The Orioles, riding the thunder of Chris Davis, lead the Majors with 185 homers. The Blue Jays are next with 164, followed by Miguel Cabrera's Tigers (161), the Braves (160), Mariners and Rangers (159 each), A's (152), Cubs (150), Red Sox (148) and Indians, Rockies and Rays (145 each). That group includes four sub-.500 clubs: Toronto, Seattle, Chicago and Colorado.
The Red Sox, who lead the Majors in runs scored, cracked the top 10 in home runs after Wednesday's eight-homer outburst. The Cards, who rank third in runs scored, are 27th in homers, one slot behind the Dodgers. Only the Royals, Marlins and Giants have hit fewer homers than the Redbirds.
St. Louis is scoring heavily in the clutch-hitting department, producing an astounding .326 batting average with runners in scoring position. Next best, at .284, is Detroit.
"You can't try to hit home runs -- it doesn't work like that," Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday said. "There's no way to explain why home runs are happening at a high rate or not. There's no philosophical change. The strength of our team is that we have good, tough outs. The way to score runs is to get people on base and hit with runners in scoring position. Part of our strength is that we don't have a lot of guys trying to hit home runs and then striking out a lot."
Go ahead and savor those breathtaking blasts. Just don't count on them taking your favorite team to a championship. Home runs are great fun, unforgettable in some cases. But they don't always mean as much as you might think.
The most defining performance of the 2012 postseason had to be Pablo Sandoval's three-home run show in Game 1 of the World Series, right? The first two of those bombs at AT&T Park came off Detroit's Justin Verlander, widely acclaimed as among the elite pitchers in baseball.
From the perspective of the Giants' fan, the second-most dramatic postseason moment was Buster Posey's grand slam off the Reds' Mat Latos in Game 5 of the National League Division Series. Home run thunder is central to the franchise's identity, from Mel Ott to Bobby Thomson to Willie Mays and Willie McCovey to Barry Bonds. Sandoval and Posey authored dramatic new chapters.
But when you scratch past the shiny surface and dig deeper into the numbers, the long ball emerges as the least relevant of all the elements that led San Francisco to a second World Series championship in three years.
The Giants were last in the Major Leagues with just 103 homers a year ago, an average of .64 per game. They were outhomered by the opposition by 39.
But in October, when every pitch counts and every run is big, the timely rally and clutch hit frequently mean the difference between winning and losing.
Pitching, the dominant World Series theme since its 1903 debut, rules -- even as the images of Bill Mazeroski, Carlton Fisk, Reggie Jackson, Kirk Gibson and Joe Carter going deep remain alive in the imagination.
"I think clubs are really trying to build up their bullpens, in particular, to improve their pitching staff," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said, "but also their defense. There's more attention paid to that. The last thing you want to do is give up more than three outs in an inning, and so I think that's true. In our division [the NL West] with the bigger ballparks, it just seems like teams have gone more toward pitching and defense. I know that's what we wanted to do, and it's worked well for us.
"Instead of trying to slug it with the other team ... hopefully you've got a pitching staff that's going to keep you in the game, give you a chance to win. The more often you do that, chances are the more games you're going to win. I think Atlanta showed that in the '90s, all the success they had when you look at the pitching. They caught the ball and they won a lot of ballgames."
The Tigers, for all the attention surrounding 2012 American League Triple Crown winner Cabrera and partner Prince Fielder, were 16th in the Majors in home runs last year with 163. They outhomered opponents by 12. The Cardinals -- one win away from a return to the World Series -- were 17th in homers and among 14 teams averaging fewer than one per game.
Over the past 10 years, the World Series team with the fewer home runs has won five times. On one occasion, in a remarkable coincidence in 2010, the Giants and Rangers each homered 162 times in 162 games. San Francisco outhomered opponents by 28, while Texas was dead even, giving up 162 bombs.
Only once in the past decade has a team that led the Majors in home runs -- the 2009 Yankees -- taken the World Series championship. Those true Bronx Bombers unloaded 244 times, 20 more than their World Series victims, the Phillies. The Yanks went deep 63 more times than opponents during the regular season -- a figure matched by the 2004 Red Sox, who swept the Cards.
One of the most formidable of World Series teams of the past 10 years, the 2003 Yankees, produced 230 homers in the regular season, 85 more than the opposition. Yet they fell to the Marlins, who were 19th in the Majors in homers with 157.
The Cardinals won it all in 2011 and in '06, subduing World Series opponents equipped with more power. The '11 Rangers were second in the Majors with 210 homers, 48 more than St. Louis. The '06 Tigers, with 203 blasts, had 19 more than the Cards, who were outhomered by nine in the regular season.
The 2002 Angels, like those '06 Redbirds and '12 Giants, were outhomered in the regular season, by 17. The '02 Angels were tied for 21st with 152 homers, 46 fewer than the Bonds-driven Giants. But San Francisco fell to the run-and-stun Angels in seven memorable Fall Classic games.
A decade later, the Angels steered a course toward power, acquiring Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton in free agency. The team is 13th in the Majors in homers and 10th in runs scored, but the Halos sit a distant third in the AL West, primarily due to pitching deficiencies.
"We've got to get back to our foundation of pitching and defense," manager Mike Scioscia said. "On-field chemistry is critical. What I mean by that is a pitcher-catcher relationship, making sure they understand what the game plan is. On the defensive side, understanding the situations, understanding who you're working with, where the feeds need to be -- your whole lineup chemistry and how it flows.
"Some of that has been in place. But we've paid a price, because we haven't done it at the level we need to."
The big bang by the bashers is sure to bring fans out of their seats. But when it really matters, it's pitching and all those smart, little things done consistently right that add up to October celebrations.

Slightly off topic today.
It's fair to say I'm not a great traveler. Waiting for planes, dealing with the hassles of travel, etc, etc, all result in me prefering to stay in Orlando as much as possible. But I don't quite have the luxury of not travelling at all, and recently I spent a week in Boston - one of my favorite cities to visit, provided the weather is nice (nice as viewed by a Florida resident). It's a good city for taxi or public transportation, having a car is a pain between lack of parking, toll roads, and even my hotel wanting to charge $30 a day for having a car.
After hours visits this time included my favorite ship the USS Constitution, Faneuil Hall for dinner one night, the Harvard Coop Bookstore (in particular this reminded me of how anemic the computer book sections at most book stores has become), a walk through Boston Common, a great and unexpected visit to the site of the Boston Massacre along with an off the cuff telling of the history of the event by a local attorney we met while walking, and probably the highlight was a fantastic burger at Mr. Bartleys (you have to read the menu!).
An interesting side note was I ran across Warheads at a local gift shop. They are a sour candy I'd seen on a FoodTV show and given that I like Tangerine Sours, thought I would try. Labelled as an extreme candy and correctly so, not for the faint of heart, and not for me either!
I'd like to think that each city has something unique to offer and it's just a matter of finding it, but not always easy when you're there for only a few days and can only wander after 5 pm. A little easier in bigger cities, but still not simple.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — BBC America is bringing the critically acclaimed dramas "Orphan Black" and "Broadchurch" back for new seasons in 2015.
The cable channel said Wednesday that the third season of "Orphan Black" will include 10 episodes. In the eerie drama, Tatiana Maslany plays varied clones of her main character.
Crime drama "Broadchurch" will return for its second season next year with original stars including David Tennant and Olivia Colman. Charlotte Rampling and Marianne Jean-Baptiste will be among the new cast members.
BBC America also announced two new dramas: "The Last Kingdom," an adaptation of writer Bernard Cornwell's "Saxon Tales" franchise of historical novels, and "Tatau," about two friends whose round-the-world trip propels them into dark mystery.
Air dates for the new and returning series were not announced.

The word 'gladiator' has taken on a whole new meaning in our day and age. Although once seen as the warrior in the arena, gladiators now come in all shapes and sizes and can be everything from the people who do hard work to save nature, animals, children; to people who stand up and fight for a good cause that helps others.
When it comes to sports, the term is still used a great deal. But when looking back at the true gladiators that came before, it is the combination of courage, loyalty, agility, and never-say-die attitude that placed them above the rest. Perhaps as the year comes to a close, those are the qualities most everyone is looking for in all areas of life. From disappointments in politics to disappointments in people, the beliefs of the ancient world and the gladiators that fought for it, are being more and more missed as the years of technology move us forward…and sometimes, not in a good way.
Yes, back then you are talking about the ultimate sportsman or athlete. Always armed, the gladiator was ready for violent confrontations in the arena against human or animal in order to entertain audiences of the Roman Empire. Some gladiators were from the category of volunteers, whereas others were the despots who had to fight no matter what their views might have been in order to survive.
The whole point of being a gladiator in the Empire's mind was that the man had to fight and/or die well for the crowds. Either ending would bring to them acclaim and a huge admiration for the risk they took. It is almost beyond difficult to imagine the amount of Twitter followers these gladiators would amass in the 21st Century.
There is some disagreement over when it all began; there are those that say the Roman Empire may have had the most famous, but the gladiators were actually seen far before, back in the third century. This was one athlete that seeped into the human consciousness. In fact, the gladiators became a large part of politics, as well as society in various cultures and worlds. They are the first athletes, as well as the first 'group' that brought high moral characteristics into being – the same that our own military people carry in their hearts today.
There were even cultures that produced gladiator schools in order to educate a slice of humanity that could be focused on the ethical way of life – dying for something they either believed in, or fought for until the very end. The earliest known schools seem to be Roman, which was information discovered from frescoes on the walls of various tombs showing the fighters with helmets on and spears in hand.
The honor of the gladiator came from their sacrifices in the arena, as well as on the battlefield in combat conditions. No matter what side you're on in the debate over these first mega-athletes – whether you see them as exotic and armored warriors, or slaves who were degenerates – the honor of the gladiator has never gone away.
When asking the athletes of today, they will see themselves as gladiators in their own ways. They live to be the honored and admired, and will work hard on a field or in an arena to bring the people entertainment while scoring the points they need to be triumphant. Thankfully, there is no tiger, or lion, or man with a spear waiting on the other side as an opponent anymore. But the heart of the gladiator, the belief that sports is an art form, remains true.
It will be interesting to see in 2014 what gladiators rise from the mist. On the gridiron, what logo will the winner wear: a Seahawk, a panther, a bronco? Will a Tiger once again be the spotlight of the 'greens'? Will a dynasty that's brought love to Boston do it again on the diamond?
It should be a whole lot of fun to watch and see!

I have wondered if it wouldn't be helpful to some to post images depicting different aspects of composition. This could be the different types of balance or the different ways that perspective can be utilized. For those who post images, it would be nice if you would describe the compositional considerations that your image incorporates and what you are attempting to illustrate through your image.
I will begin this thread with an image that illustrates asymetrical balance.
For those that may not be aware, asymetrical balance utilizes a planned or constructed imbalance wherein a single seemingly disconnected aspect of the composition balances the remainder.

Players to watch: Deon and Keon SimmonsREAD ONLINE
Partying for family patriarchPublished June 15, 2014 at 12:00 a.m.
It got here before we knew it.
I don't feel worthy enough — or caffeinated, or well-rested enough — to write this, but here goes.
The patriarch of the Keith family turned 90, and we came together to celebrate and honor him.
Months ago, the planning started for my father-in-law's festivities, with my husband's oldest sister, Catherine (Katie to some of us) leading the parade, as usual. She's the motivator, encourager and eternally optimistic one of the bunch.
Now, if you don't know Joe, you might have the wrong mental image. If you think of 90 as a wizened little old man, erase that picture.
This is a 6-foot man who doesn't have much gray (OK, so he doesn't have much hair, but what he has isn't all gray), and on his birthday, he drove to the golf course to not only play 18 holes of golf, but also to beat his two sons and a grandson like a drum, as my husband put it.
Our first round of celebration was last Sunday, when we gathered in Malvern at the early-1900s family home his parents lived in and which had made its way back into the family a few years ago.
In addition to us Conwegians, the relatives came from Maine, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri and Nevada. We hadn't seen some of them in years, our lives too busy and too spread across the country.
We caught up over barbecue, baked beans and the chocolate cake I want as part of my last meal. My father-in-law sat at the table where we sat years ago with his mother, who lived in the house until she was 98. We took family pictures, laughed and listened as my father-in-law got emotional as he told the story of the Honor Flight he took a couple of years ago.
We gave him golf shirts, more golf shirts and golf shorts. What do you give a man who has everything he wants or needs? Eggplant, apparently. He was probably most pleased by his younger daughter's promise to give him the first two from her garden.
On his actual birthday, we gathered at the Malvern Country Club with members of the club; the Malvern Lions Club, where he's been a member for about 61 years; and the First United Methodist Church, where he's been a member forever and for years and years kicked off the Christmas season by singing a solo version of "O Holy Night."
He's helped make that community better by being in it, and people wanted to acknowledge that.
As we ate, one member of the church came up and said, jokingly, to my husband, "Your dad deserves this — he's had to sit next to me in the choir for 30 years. It's not a pleasant experience."
A slide show, which my sister-in-law Sonja and one of her daughters spent hours putting together, played as we talked. Pictures of Joe as a child, teenager, groom, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and our history as a family flashed by on the wall.
My husband had months to plan, so, of course, he got up without any idea of what he was going to say to welcome the guests. He introduced family members, down to the newest member of the family, Aria, whom, he said, was being passed around the room like a "loaf of bread" by her grandmother Jane.
The whole room sang "Happy Birthday" to Joe, (including Joe, who sang "Happy birthday to me"). He clasped his hands together and held them over his head like a prizefighter. He stood and told his friends and family that he couldn't say much without getting choked up, but, "I love you all," he said.
We are a family, not a Hallmark movie, but for this night, we came together and forgot our problems.
After the leftover cake was boxed, the birthday signs were taken down and rounds were made to say our goodbyes, we went our separate ways — back to crazy, hectic life. We have work and wedding plans, doctor's appointments and deadlines.
I hope I have said it before, but in case I haven't, I want to say thank you, Joe, for your calm, wise and steady guidance in our family. Thank you for marrying Dorothy and starting this wonderful family (especially that last son of yours).
As my husband told the audience after he thanked them for coming, "We'll do this again in 10 years."

It's Superbowl Sunday! And two of our biggest reality stars have some stake in today's game. Kim Kardashian's boyfriend, Reggie Bush plays for the New Orleans Saints, and Kendra Wilkinson's husband, Hank Baskett plays for the Indianapolis Colts.
The two ladies appeared on Ryan Seacrest's radio show on Friday to discuss their friendly rivalry. Sniped Kim, 29, to Kendra, 24: "Let's meet up and I'll poison your coffee and you can give it to Hank!"
The two however made it clear that they were just joking and even planned to do some lingerie shopping together for their men.
The E! reality stars also dished on their game-day outfits. Kendra plans to wear "a jersey made that says 'Mrs. Baskett'." Her 2 month old son, Hank Jr. "will be wearing [his father's] jersey."
Kim is however moving in a different direction, as she believes wearing a jersey on game day is "superstitious," so she plans on sporting "Balmain jacket, T-shirt and jeans and some boots…I always wear something in [Saints team colors] black and gold."
I'm a Titans fan, so it's in my DNA to root against the Colts no matter what. So the question of the day is Which Team Are You Rooting For? Any Football Fans Out There?

Understanding Tradition Eleven and Social Media
The Forum March 2014
The Al-Anon WSO Facebook pages have been quite successful in reaching a broad audience. Because it is a new form of media, members have asked how they can use social media within the confines of the Legacies. A member recently asked if sharing posts is honoring Tradition Eleven.
Tradition Eleven touches on two main topics, attraction versus promotion and anonymity at the level of the media.
Members can easily maintain their anonymity by not mentioning their membership or making comments that imply membership. When people share a post on Facebook, they have the option of adding a comment. To ensure that one's anonymity is not being compromised, members are encouraged not to use this feature.
To understand the difference between attraction and promotion, it may be helpful to remember that attraction is simply sharing information, and then letting go, allowing the other person to learn more at their own initiative rather than trying to convince someone, make promises about what the program will do, or give advice – that would be promotion.
An example of attraction is when members leave copies of Al-Anon Faces Alcoholism, Al-Anon's public outreach magazine, in a doctors' office. If patients are interested, they'll pick up a copy and learn Al-Anon could help them. On the other hand, is it promotion if members try to convince someone to take a copy of Al-Anon Faces Alcoholism, or insist that they should read an article that will "really help them".
Al-Anon's Step Twelve encourages all members to share Al-Anon's message of hope with others who may be suffering from the effects of a loved one's drinking. This would be impossible without attraction.
Would you consider participating in this fellowship-wide outreach project? Find us on Facebook and Twitter by searching for "Al-Anon WSO".
If you would like to learn more about the difference between attraction and promotion, please refer to Al-Anon/Alateen Service Manual (P-24/27), p 107.

Do you think we should we beware of the Ides of April?
April 15 has mercifully passed. Did everyone survive? I hope so. Most Americans remember April 15 as the darkest day of the year because Federal Income Taxes are due. We suspected that its stigma was not unwarranted, but for more reasons than just taxes. We had our crack research team, the Googlamaniacs, check out the date throughout history to confirm our suspicions.
After nanoseconds of intense labor, the Googlamaniacs' research revealed that disastrous events have occurred on that date for quite some time.
For example: on April 15, 1992, Billionaire Leona Helmsley was sent to jail for tax evasion. How ironic. President Lincoln died on April 15, 1865, in Washington, D.C. The Titanic struck an iceberg and sank, in 1912. And President Roosevelt was buried at Hyde Park, New York, in 1945. April 15 has not been a good day in history.
Some radio commentator once said, "That old saying should be "beware the Ides of April" instead of March." He would be correct except for one small error. April 15 is not the Ides of April.
Everyone knows that March 15 is the Ides of March, the day Julius Caesar was assassinated. But most people don't know that the Ides only falls on the 15th of the month one-third of the time, in March, July and October. During the other months, the Ides falls on the 13th.
April 13, the real Ides, was not that bad. President Thomas Jefferson was born in 1743. The Pennsylvania Railroad received its charter in 1847. And The Beatles began their historic seven-week engagement at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany, 1962.
The only bad event was the surrender of Fort Sumter in 1861, marking the beginning of the Civil War.
However, when we reviewed the month of April in its entirety, we found it to be thirty days of historical catastrophe.
• Nazi Germany began its persecution of Jews with a boycott of Jewish-owned businesses in 1933.
• The World War II invasion of Okinawa began in 1945.
• Jesse James was killed by Robert Ford, a member of his own gang, in 1882.
• President William Henry Harrison died in 1841.
• Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., 1968.
• General Douglas MacArthur died in Washington, D.C., at age 84, in 1964.
• Reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes died in Houston at age 72 in 1976.
• Civil War Battle of Shiloh, Tenn. was in 1862.
• The United States declared war on Germany in 1917.
• Henry Ford died at age 83 in 1947.
• St. Bernadette, who described seeing visions of the Virgin Mary at Lourdes, died in Nevers, France in 1879.
• The American Revolutionary War began with the battles of Lexington & Concord in 1775.
• The Spanish-American War began in 1898.
• Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau, Austria in 1889.
• Samuel Clemens, (Mark Twain), died in Connecticut in 1910.
• President Richard M. Nixon died in 1994.
• William Shakespeare was born in 1564. He died on the same day, 52 years later, in 1616.
• Spain declared war on the United States in 1898.
• The world's worst nuclear accident occurred at the Chernobyl plant in the Soviet Union in 1986.
• Edward R. Murrow died in Pawling, New York at age 57 in 1965.
• Adolf Hitler committed suicide along with his wife of one day, Eva Braun in 1945.
And let's not forget about the Branch Davidian disaster, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the Columbine massacre all happened within a few days of each other, but in different years.
Think about this. In our country alone, four significant wars began in the month of April. Hitler was born and died during April. Four presidents passed away (one of them was assassinated), and several of the most diabolical crimes in history were committed. The entire month of March pales in comparison, not just the Ides.
Let's see . . . today is only the 17th. We still have a couple of weeks of April left. This is not good. May is a nice month. But it's so far away. We're right in the middle of the anniversary of one of the darkest weeks in history. We're stuck trying to survive in a system we can't understand.

We are very fortunate to have a team that brings creativity and spirit to their work and is invested in providing each client with a truly custom design. Through our regular Designer's Pick posts, our designers will be choosing their favorite suites to share with you.A huge fan of wood type poster design, our Auburn suite has become one of my personal favorites. Combining casual and rustic elements, Auburn expresses a country-chic vibe with its use of vintage wood type-inspired fonts. The type treatment is so strong that it radiates a cheerful, fun-loving tone sans any specific motifs. The oversized ampersand acts as the focal point – the ideal visual element symbolizing the upcoming union. Another standout detail of this particular variation is the use of three letterpress ink colors. The intentional overlapping of inks (also know as "overprinting") and the crosshatch background pattern give the card extra dimension. Auburn is the perfect design for a fun and artistic couple looking to add some color and history to their letterpress wedding invitations.
To see Auburn in-person, visit one of our exclusive retailers today! You can also find additional inspiration by viewing our Auburn lookbook pages showing all of the pieces in the suite as well as a collection of design variations.

Jameel Abraham: Benchcrafted Tools
This Iowa-born toolmaker, woodworker and luthier strives for perfection.
By Steve Shanesy
Pages 46-52
Family has clearly played an important role in the development of Iowa-born woodworker and toolmaker Jameel Abraham. In 2006, Jameel, along with his brother, Father John Abraham (an Orthodox priest), and their father founded Benchcrafted – makers of a handful of high-quality, primarily workbench-related products including leg and tail vises and a Moxon-style benchtop vise.
But family influences run much deeper than the relatively recent origins of Benchcrafted. Jameel traces his woodworking interests to both of his grandfathers, who he describes as "serious hobbyists." He fondly remembers spending time in the shop with both, and watching many an episode of Norm Abram's "The New Yankee Workshop" and Roy Underhill's "The Woodwright's Shop" with his maternal grandfather. Who knows – this may partially account for Jameel's mastery of both hand and power tools.
There is also a strong tradition of operating a family business. His father started a beeswax candle making business that Fr. John continues to oversee while also helping out with the Benchcrafted business. And until Benchcrafted began to consume all his time, Jameel worked in that business, too. Family influences and obligations aside, the accomplishments of this 38-year-old craftsman are keenly driven by a native sense of engineering and a self-imposed drive for excellence.
Early Woodworking Start
A few years after high school, in the mid-1990s, Jameel began taking woodworking seriously, spending more time in his modestly equipped shop. As his interest deepened he often visited the library to study period furniture. In those early days, he worked with a contractor-style table saw and jointed his lumber with a Stanley No. 7 because, he said, he couldn't afford a powered jointer. Thus he discovered the wonders of sharpening – a revelation from which he never looked back.
His father took note of his son's growing woodworking interest and introduced Jameel to a local cabinetmaker friend who had studied with James Krenov and who was also strongly influenced by Japanese woodworking. This was Jameel's introduction to fine woodworking, including hand-cut dovetails. Prior to that, "I was only learning from my own mistakes," Jameel said.
While working full time in the family candle business, Jameel continued to develop his woodworking skills and became interested in luthiery. And in his mid-20s, he began making a Middle Eastern stringed instrument called an oud, which is related to the European lute (see "Woodworking on the Edge" page 48). He also unknowingly sowed the seeds for the Benchcrafted business when for his own use he developed a magentized tool holder to organize and protect edge tools and plane blades.
You may know it by its commercial name: the "Mag-Blok." Mag-Bloks are narrow lengths of wood embedded with powerful rare earth magnets; they can be hung on a wall or cabinet, and the all-wood surface protects sharp edges from damage – a major improvement over other commercially made tool- and kitchen-knife holders made from magnets and steel.

WASHINGTON -- The country isn't facing an immediate debt crisis, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Sunday, but he argued that Congress and the president must reform entitlements to avert one that lies dead ahead.
"We all know that we have one looming," Boehner said on ABC's "This Week". "And we have one looming because we have entitlement programs that are not sustainable in their current form. They're going to go bankrupt."
Boehner expressed agreement with Obama's statement in an ABC interview the other day that the debt doesn't present "an immediate crisis."
But Boehner took issue with Obama's assertion that it doesn't make sense to "chase a balanced budget just for the sake of balance."

Jig Journal: Coping at the Router Table
Work smart across the grain with a simple push block.
By Robert W. Lang
Pages: 70-71
From the December 2009 issue #180
Buy this issue now
One of the first vehicles I owned was a 1964 Ford Econoline van. I bought it cheap at a police auction then proceeded to over-accessorize it with all manner of mirrors and lights I didn't need. I was young and didn't know any better. It's easy to fall into that kind of trap as you learn something new.
J. C. Whitney saw me coming and took advantage; likewise most new woodworkers are easy prey as they put together their first router table. Miter gauges and miter gauge tracks on router tables are the fuzzy dice and ground-effect lights of the woodworking world.
In the June 2009 issue of Popular Woodworking (#176) we featured an easy-to-make and inexpensive router table that does everything you need to do without any frills. In this issue, we show you how to safely make cuts across the grain; the only thing it will cost you is a trip to your scrap bin.
The problem with installing a slot in a router table and using a miter gauge is that it complicates a simple process. To make a cut across the end of a piece of wood, you need a safe and secure way to guide the wood at a right angle to the fence.
A miter gauge riding in a slot will do that, provided that the fence and the slot are perfectly parallel. This fence-to-slot alignment can be time-consuming and tedious to achieve, and if you need to make a small adjustment to the fence, you are likely to lose the parallel setting.

What exactly do I really need to make on my remaining assignments and assessments to get an A grade, provided the actual grades that I have already made so far? Each and every semester, students are in search of the answer to this difficult question. This simple final grade calculator will find out your grade status in each of current courses, and how good you need to do on your final paper or final exam to get the grade you desire.
How exactly does this Grade Calculator work?
You will have to check out your syllabus to discover exactly how much the final is "weighted", generally teachers could have the actual categories which figure out your grade such as Test, Assignments, Projects, Homework and so on. At this point the final grade calculator will take the weight in Percentage (%)
The formula is :
Value 1 = Your current overall Grade * (1 – Final Exam's worth)
Value 2 = Final Exam Score * Final Exam's Worth
Final Grade = Value 1 + Value 2
Lets hope this grade calculator can help you when preparing for your final exams.

russia. comey. leaks. lies. collusion. Reading the obsessive reports constantly spewing forth from the nation's capital, you might be tempted to think that the Trump administration's blundering and babbling are all that matters—that the tales of palace intrigue and possible criminality are all the news that's fit to print. And, to be fair, the tales are engrossing, like a sweet and steady delicious morphine drip that brings relief to an excruciating situation. As the leaks pile up, the pain dissipates in a haze of schadenfreude. Perhaps we don't have to fight this regime so relentlessly after all. Perhaps it will simply self-destruct.
Thankfully, millions of Americans aren't giving in to Russiagate-induced complacency—and they aren't leaving anything to chance. As Trump tweets and rages, as his administration teeters but doesn't fall, they are building movements and getting creative, finding new ways to challenge injustice and inequality. They are winning elections, fighting plutocracy, and pushing back against the dictates of right-wing governors. They are, in short, working hard to make this country a kinder, better place—Donald Trump be damned.
Cities Push For Impeachment
Donald Trump be damned, indeed! That's the message the Los Angeles City Council sent in early May when it passed a resolution calling on Congress to investigate whether the president has committed crimes or misdemeanors that could lead to impeachment. The resolution, which passed on a 10-0 vote, makes Los Angeles one of the latest cities to urge an investigation into Trump's docket of potentially impeachable offenses. Other municipalities, including Richmond, Berkeley, and Alameda, California as well as Cambridge, Amherst, and Brookline, Massachusetts, have passed similar resolutions in recent months.
It's no accident that cities are making pro-impeachment pronouncements. For months, activists aligned with a group called Impeach Trump Now have been quietly pushing their local elected officials to pass such resolutions. In the case of Los Angeles, an Impeach Trump Now affiliate called West Valley Resistance brought the idea to City Council member Bob Blumenfield, who co-authored Los Angeles's resolution. Similar organizing is happening all over the country, says John Bonifaz, a Massachusetts-based attorney and one of the leaders of Impeach Trump Now.
The dream goes something like this: If enough cities call for Trump's head, driving up pressure on elected officials, then perhaps Congress will be forced to take action.
"It will only grow over time," Bonifaz forecasts. "We will see many communities taking this up in the weeks and months ahead."
Fighting Plutocracy, City-Style
Even before Trump and his coterie of kleptocrats arrived in DC, much of the work of fighting inequality fell to cities. Now, as Team Trump crafts a budget for the 1 percent, gutting social programs while slashing taxes for the rich, the fight for financial fairness falls even more heavily on local governments. Thankfully, they are rising to the occasion.

Penn State adds SMU transfer Jordan Dickerson
Penn State adds SMU transfer Jordan Dickerson
Jun. 20, 2013
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Seven-foot center Jordan Dickerson has transferred to Penn State from SMU.
Dickerson will have three years of eligibility left after sitting out the 2013-14 campaign in accordance with NCAA transfer rules. The team announced Thursday that Dickerson had enrolled at Penn State.
He played sparingly in 26 games last season as a freshman for the Mustangs, averaging 3.5 minutes per game.
Dickerson will be a welcome addition at Penn State, which is in the midst of a makeover. Six players left the team including the unexpected offseason transfers of guard Jermaine Marshall (15.3 points) and backup center Jon Graham.
Penn State is adding four incoming freshmen this fall, and Pitt transfer John Johnson will become eligible in December. Lead guard Tim Frazier is also expected back from a left Achilles injury.

That Girl

Big story: 140 Towns Unaccounted For? Maine GOP Chair Charlie Webster Calls the Win Anyway. When he receives push-back from the media and local officials, he sticks to his guns saying they will discuss it in March (after Super Tuesday of course) to decide if they will include the neglected votes.
Side story: Totals reported found to be incorrect on multiple occasions as reported by Caucus leaders, either due to addition errors, or just plain wrong information. See breakdown below.
Side side story: Some officials in Maine are speaking up. Washington County commissioner Chris Gardner is pushing the GOP to count the votes there. State Senate President Raye is demanding the votes be counted. Charlie Webster is insisting they will not count toward the official total.
Update: 2/18/2012
The GOP in Maine has released a new set of results. I've compiled a spreadsheet to more easily compare the results: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3169366/Maine_Results_Comparison.xlsx
County by County Problems List
- Androscoggin
- No problems I'm aware of
- Aroostook
- Results not broken down by town so we have no way of knowing if some towns were not counted like in the other counties. Aroostook was the only county Ron Paul won in 2008. He won again this year but we cannot verify that there were not towns missing without the results broken down as they should be.
- Cumberland
- Baldwin, Casco, Frye Island, Long Island, Pownal (25 votes total in 08), Sebago - zero votes reported by GOP
- Portland - According to an article published by the Washington Post, a caucus in Portland Maine mysteriously ended up with 19 more ballots in the stack than they should have had. So what did they do? Vote again? Tally what they had? Try to figure out which 19 ballots were bogus? No. They voided the entire caucus. Sounds like someone can slip in some extra ballots and get an entire caucus voided?
- Franklin
- Avon (2 votes in '08), Carthage (2 votes in '08), Coplin, Dallas, Eustis, Madrid, Phillips (2 votes in '08), Rangeley, Sandy River, Wilton (10 votes in '08) - zero votes reported by GOP
- Hancock
- Amherst, Aurora (6 votes in '08), Castine, Cranberry Isles, Eastbrook (2 votes in '08), Franklin, Frenchboro, Gouldsboro, Great Pond, Hancock (19 votes in '08), Lamoine, Mariaville, Osborn, Sorrento (5 votes in '08), Stonington (3 votes in '08), Sullivan, "T3 ND Part of"?, Waltham, Winter Harbor - zero votes reported by GOP
- Apparently 10 towns in Hancock were also postponed just like they were in Washington County. Hancock county as a whole received 263 votes in 2008. There are already 315 votes in Hancock being reported indicating a much higher turnout in the county this year.
- Kennebec
- Clinton, Rome (3 votes in '08), Vienna (1 vote in '08), Waterville (53 votes in '08), Wayne - zero votes reported by GOP
- Waterville - +16 votes for Paul? - From a facebook comment on a Bangor Daily News article: " We were robbed of votes in waterville also! Doctor won the place by 16 votes but maine resiults shows 0! Now you guys be the judge and decide whether there was proven voter fraud in GOP Maine!"
- China - Official vote total was Romney - 6, Paul - 11, 1 - Santorum, 0 - Gingrich, 0 - Other. WatchTheVote.com totals had a different result: Romney - 3, Paul - 13, Santorum - 1, Gingrich - 1, TOTAL: 18 (Source)
- Knox
- Isle Au Haut, Matinicus Isle, North Haven - zero votes reported by GOP
- Was this the town with a delayed caucus or was that hancock?
- Loncoln
- Boothbay (18 votes in '08) - two line items on GOP sheet, one is all zeros. Were there two caucuses in boothbay or was this just a typo?
- South Bristol (14 votes in '08), Whitefield (6 votes in '08) - zero votes reported by GOP
- Oxford
- Albany (7 votes in '08), Byron, Gilead (2 votes in '08), Lincoln, Magalloway, Milton (2 votes in '08), Newry (3 votes in '08), Otisfield (15 votes in '08), Stoneham, Stow, Sumner, Sweden, Upton - zero votes reported by GOP
- Penobscot
- Alton (2 votes in '08) - Total is wrong. Two votes for paul, one vote for 'other' but a big fat zero in the total column.
- Bangor - Again Paul bests romney by 10 votes, but the totals column is zero.
- Burlington, Carroll, Corinth, Drew Plantation, Edinburg, Enfield, Kenduskeag, Kingman, Lakeville, Mattawamkeag, Maxfield, Mount Chase, Passadumkeag, Patten, Penobscot, Plymouth (10 votes in '08), Prentiss, Seboeis, Springfield, Stacyville, Stetson (2 votes in '08), Veazie (10 votes in '08), Webster, Winn, Woodville - zero votes reported by GOP
- Piscataquis
- Abbot (4 votes in '08), Greenville (3 votes in '08), Kingsbury, Lake View, Shirley, Wellington (1 in '08), Willimantic (2 in '08) - zero votes reported by GOP
- Sagadahoc
- No problems I've heard of
- Somerset
- Anson (4 votes in '08), Brighton, Caratunk, Cornville (2 votes in '08), Dennistown (3 in '08), Detroit (1 in '08), Highland (1 in '08), Jackman (1 in '08), Mercer (2 in '08 both for RP), Moscow (1 in '08), New Portland (2 in '08 both for RP), Moose River (1 in '08), Pleasant Ridge (1 in '08), Rockwood Strip, Starks (4 in '08, 3 for RP), The Forks, West Forks
- Waldo
- Belfast - +7, +9 or +21 votes for Paul (I've seen this in 3 places with different numbers) - votes from Belfast (largest caucus including 22 towns) . Ron Paul won with 71 votes according to Matt McDonald, the Chairman of the Belfast Caucus. He called the State office and their numbers had Romney winning. By the way, the votes in the Belfast caucus were read publicly.
- Belfast (37 in '08), Belmont (3 in '08), Brooks (5 in '08), Burnham, Freedom, Islesboro, Jackson (2 in '08), Knox (11 in '08), Liberty (11 in '08), Lincolnville (7 in '08), Monroe (6 in '08), Morrill (4 in '08), Prospect (2 in 08), Searsmont, Searsport (8 in '08, 5 for RP), Swanville (4 in '08), Thorndike, Troy (5 in '08 3 for RP), Waldo (3 in '08), Winterport (14 in '08) - zero votes reported by GOP
- Washington
- Washington was postponed due to imminent snow. Turns out the snow storm was miniscule, dropping only a dusting on Washington county, but nevertheless the Caucus totals should still be counted toward the winner right? Wrong. Charlie Webster refuses to allow the final tally in Washington county to count toward the official "winner" of the nonbinding straw vote that has been already been called for Mitt Romney.
- York
- Acton (14 in '08) - zero votes reported by GOP

How many patients did the Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital treat in 2010 with an orthopedic diagnosis?
584 patients were treated in 2010 with an orthopedic diagnosis.
Are all the patients in my age range?
69 yrs old is the average age of patients treated with an orthopedic diagnosis.
How long will I be a patient at Sinai?
8 days is the average length of time spent as an inpatient for patients with an orthopedic diagnosis. However, the length of stay is dependent on the patient's needs and progress toward achieving his or her goals.
What can I hope to accomplish by getting rehabilitation at Sinai?
Functional improvement is our specialty. We establish reasonable goals for improved function with the patient and work as a team to accomplish those goals. We use all of our clinical resources to assist the patients in accomplishing their ultimate goal of return to a functional, meaningful lifestyle. Based on the Functional Independence Measure, which tracks functional gains from admission to discharge, the orthopedic patient progressed 2.88 functional points per day.
Where will I go when I leave Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital?
92% of our patients with an orthopedic diagnosis return home after their rehab stay. They often go on to participate in home or outpatient therapy as needed to maximize their function. Those who need continued inpatient services are referred to the next appropriate level of care, however, this is a very small portion of patients with an orthopedic diagnosis. Many patients return to Sinai for additional services, both inpatient and outpatient.
What do former patients of Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital report?
96% of our patients recommend us to others. We receive many commendations from our patients on a regular basis!

Jaguar E-Type 50th Anniversary Convoy
Specifications ----
1/4 mile
0-62 mph
Top Speed
(from Jaguar Press
Release) CONVOY OF 50 E-TYPES CROSSES LONDON TO MARK E-TYPE
The unusual sight of 50 Jaguar E-types greeted Londoners today as a
fleet of privately owned vehicles travelled in convoy through the
Capital to the 2011 Motorexpo in Canary Wharf, marking 50 years of
the sports car in style.
Organised by the Jaguar Drivers' Club, the convoy started its
journey under police escort at Forbes House in central London, home
of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). The route
took in landmarks including Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square
before arriving at Canary Wharf where the cars lined up on display.
Leading the convoy was a team of professional cyclists joined by
ex-Formula One World Champion Nigel Mansell, supporting Motorexpo's
chosen charity, UK Youth.
The Jaguar E-type was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March
1961. When launched its mix of daring design, advanced engineering
and the ability to hit 150 mph caused a sensation. The intervening
years have seen it become one of the most acclaimed and desirable
sports cars of all time.
The same spirit of innovation and emphasis on design lives on in
Jaguar today, with the latest XF, XK and XJ models making their UK
debut at the Motorexpo. Also present will be the fastest Jaguar
production car ever created, the 550 PS XKR-S.
On arriving at Canary Wharf, Graeme Carver, CEO of Motorexpo
commented: 'It's been a terrific day and a fitting tribute to the
E-type � we are incredibly grateful to the police and all the owners
for providing their support to make it possible. We all feel
honoured to have taken part in such a key celebration of what was,
and remains, a landmark car.'
The Motorexpo opened today and runs through to June 12. For more

There are an estimated 6.8 million undocumented immigrants from Mexico living in the United States who are closely watching the new immigration push from the Obama administration and Congress.
Yet the Mexican government has remained relatively silent on the issue.
The country's foreign ministry put out a press release welcoming "the principles that have been set out." Other than that statement, the Mexican government has maintained its formal position of watching the immigration debate from the sidelines.
"In 2000-2001 the Mexican government was quite active and vocal about immigration reform, and many feel it backfired, and the quest for the 'whole enchilada' failed," Shannon O'Neil, a senior fellow at the Council of Foreign Relations, said in an email to Fox News Latino.
She said the government this time changed its approach – by just releasing a statement.
"[The government is now] saying they hope for change, but also see it as a domestic policy issue in the United States, letting the domestic debate take its course bolstered though this time by the activism of grassroots advocacy groups and an increasingly important electoral demographic in Latinos," she said.
The Mexican Embassy in Washington did not return phone calls by Fox News Latino seeking comment.
The last Mexican president to really broach the issue of comprehensive immigration reform in the U.S. was Vicente Fox.
Fox pushed then-President George W. Bush for a reform plan that included both a guest worker program and increased border security. While Bush supported the plan and it was approved by the Senate, a joint punch of the House rejecting it and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks drowned any hope of comprehensive immigration reform in Bush's first term.
Fox continued his efforts for immigration reform in the U.S., but the U.S. focus on the border dealt more with security than reform in the post-9/11 world. In the Calderón and now Peña Nieto administrations, Mexico appears reluctant to give anything more than tacit support for immigration reform, claiming that it is a domestic policy issue of the U.S. and not part of Mexico's foreign policy.
"Mexico is trying to be careful in terms of how it gets involved in the immigration debate," said Christopher Wilson of the Mexico Institute of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington. "It will talk about border security, trans-migration, issues like that, but Mexico will weigh its involvement in immigration very carefully."
Before inauguration, Peña Nieto did say that he would support any move by the Obama administration to pass immigration reform during a meeting with the U.S. leader back in November. Their talk, however, focused more on border security and Mexico's ongoing struggle with the country's drug cartels.
Peña Nieto has remained more or less mum on his drug policy, instead touting education, fiscal and energy reforms. On Monday, he told a summit of Latin American and Caribbean leaders in Chile that he wants Mexico to focus on being a player in solving world and regional problems.
The Mexican government did urge a U.S. court in December to block a part of Arizona's controversial immigration law that prohibits the harboring of undocumented immigrants.
"México cannot conduct effective negotiations with the United States when the foreign policy decisions of the federal governments are undermined by the individual policies of individual states," lawyers for the Mexican government said in a friend-of-the-court brief.
Despite their plea to the U.S. court, Mexico does not appear to want to discuss immigration on a national level.
Some experts say that while Mexico has remained silent on the immigration debate, it doesn't mean that the country is not concerned with reform.
Remittances from the family member in the U.S make up a huge amount of many Mexicans incomes and comprehensive immigration reform could ostensibly make cross-border travel for work much easier, said Petra Guerra, the associate director of the Chicano and Latino Studies program at the University of Wisconsin.
"The Mexican government will welcome immigration reform because it will help many people out economically," Guerra said. "But they're staying out of it because it's not foreign policy issue for them."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — President Barack Obama is urging college students in Ohio to vote early, noting that the state's registration deadline is just hours away.
Obama is telling young voters at a large rally at Ohio State University not to wait or delay their vote, directing them to buses that are waiting to give them rides to early voting locations in one of the nation's top battleground states.
The president says, quote, "everything we fought for in 2008 is on the line in 2012."
Tuesday is the state's deadline to register to vote. Obama was campaigning in Ohio as a new poll showed his edge in the state narrowing against Republican Mitt Romney. A new CNN poll shows Obama leading Romney 51 percent to 47 percent among likely Ohio voters.
