Vote Set to Begin Gun-Control Debate After GOP Backs Down on Filibuster
Senate Democrats say they are poised to overcome a Republican filibuster of the looming vote on gun control. On Tuesday, a number of Republicans said they would not block consideration of a gun-control package, prompting Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to announce a vote for Thursday. But even if the legislation is allowed to advance, its key components face opposition not just from Republicans, but Democrats in conservative states. The bill already excludes an assault weapons ban after Democrats found it had insufficient support, though it may still come up as an amendment. Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican Sen. Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania are expected to announce a compromise that would water down one of the bill's remaining provisions, expanding background checks. The Manchin-Toomey amendment would exclude more gun buyers from the bill's proposed expansion of background checks, leaving out sales between family members and other transfers.
Newtown Families Lobby Congress for Gun-Control Vote
In the lead-up to a gun-control vote, family members of victims of the Newtown, Connecticut, massacre have fanned out across Capitol Hill to pressure lawmakers. President Obama flew back with the families to Washington after speaking in Connecticut Monday night. Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut expressed optimism their pleas for gun control will impact the vote.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal: "They are a call to action, and we're going to be counting on them to be meeting with our colleagues, many of them undecided at this pivotal time in our country's history. And I'm very hopeful that they will help us overcome the obstacles that have been raised. We can break the stranglehold that special interests, like the NRA, have imposed, if the majority of American people — and the majority want commonsense measures to stop gun violence — are heard and heeded by the Congress. These voices and faces from Newtown are the call to action from this unspeakable, unimaginable tragedy that we have suffered, and they are powerful and eloquent beyond any words that we can command."
Sen. Inhofe: Obama Admin Using Newtown Families for Issue They Have Nothing to Do With
In response to the lobbying efforts of Newtown families, Republican Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma suggested they are being manipulated by President Obama. Inhofe said, "I think it's so unfair of the administration to hurt these families, to make them think this has something to do with them when, in fact, it doesn't."
Biden: Threat of GOP Filibuster on Gun-Control Vote "Mind-Boggling"
Ahead of the gun-control vote, Vice President Joe Biden weighed in on the threat of a Republican filibuster, calling it "mind-boggling."
Vice President Joe Biden: "I mean, it's almost mind-boggling. I served in the Senate for 36 years, and you got 13 senators, including the minority leader, saying, 'I will filibuster proceeding on dealing with this national tragedy.' Won't even proceed. Now, maybe between now and the time it gets to the floor, they will — as my mother would say, they will have seen the light. Maybe that will change. What an embarrassing thing to say!"
6-Year-Old Killed in Accidental Shooting
In one of the latest cases of gun violence involving children, a six-year-old boy was killed on Tuesday after his four-year-old playmate shot him with a gun he had found in his family's home. An uncle and a family friend of the victim, Brandon Holt, spoke briefly to reporters before he died in the hospital.
Daniel Watkins: "This is really difficult to deal with. I mean, this is, you know, something that should never happen. I mean, it's horrible."
Danella Magiera: "They're in the hospital right now. They're waiting for, like, swelling to go down in his brain."
14 Wounded in Stabbing Rampage at Texas College
A suspect is in custody for a stabbing rampage on the campus of Lone Star College near Houston. At least 14 people were wounded, two of them critically. The suspect is a student at the school. Harris County officers said the victims were targeted at random.
Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia: "Some of the details in the call slip did indicate that students or faculty were actively responding to work to subdue this individual. So we're proud of those folks, but we're glad no one else is injured any more severely than they are."
Harris County Deputy Thomas Gilliland: "No motive as of right now. Student were leaving from class and going to class, and it was — attack was at random, and as we follow right now, it went from building to building."
Most Borrowers to Receive Paltry Sum from Banks in Foreclosure Settlement
Federal regulators have disclosed the terms of a major settlement with the nation's top banks for the wrongful foreclosures on the homes of millions of Americans. Around $3.6 billion will be shared among some four million borrowers potentially affected by the banks' misdeeds. About 80 percent of borrowers will receive token amounts of compensation, with payments as low as $300. According to regulators, at least 53 borrowers lost their homes even though they had not actually defaulted on their loans. More than 1,000 members of the military were also wrongfully foreclosed. Those borrowers will receive payments of $125,000. The settlement includes no admission of wrongdoing by any of the banks involved. Federal regulators shut down a review of the banks' practices in order to reach the settlement earlier this year. Recent government figures show wrongful foreclosures were far more widespread than regulators acknowledged, occurring at a rate of nearly one in three.
North Korea Warns South of "Thermonuclear War"
North Korea continues to make threats of conflict with South Korea and the United States. On Tuesday, the North Korean regime told foreigners to flee South Korea to avoid "thermonuclear war." The regime has made previous threats in the past even though it has no such capability. South Korea meanwhile warned they see a new North Korean missile test as "imminent." In Washington, the commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific, Admiral Samuel Locklear, told Republican Sen. John McCain the United States is capable of intercepting any North Korean missile launch threatening the United States or its allies.
Sen. John McCain: "Do you believe that we have the ability to intercept a missile at — if the North Koreans launch a missile, as is widely reported they would do in coming days?"
Admiral Samuel Locklear: "I believe we have the credible ability to defend the homeland, to defend Hawaii, defend Guam, to defend our forward deployed forces and defend our allies."
Earthquake Kills 37 in Iran
A powerful earthquake has killed at least 37 people and left more than 850 wounded in Iran. The earthquake struck not far from Iran's lone nuclear power station in the city of Bushehr.
Israeli Troops Shoot Palestinian Journalist in Face for Filming Raid
A Palestinian journalist is in recovery after being shot by Israeli troops in the face. Mohammad Waleed Al-Azza was struck with a rubber-coated bullet while filming an Israeli military raid on a refugee camp in the West Bank city of Bethlehem. The Palestine News Network reports Al-Azza was deliberately targeted after refusing Israeli orders to stop filming. An Israeli soldier reportedly pointed his gun at him and fired from close range. Al-Azza has undergone surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.
Kerry to Meet with Syrian Opposition After Israel-West Bank Visit
Secretary of State John Kerry has wrapped up his third visit to Israel and the Occupied Territories in as many weeks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Kerry both claimed progress toward renewing peace talks. To that end, Kerry pledged to work with Israeli and Palestinian leaders to boost economic growth in the occupied West Bank, but failed to offer specifics. Kerry is meeting with members of the Syrian opposition in London today. Ahead of the talks, Kerry said the United States is considering increasing support for Syrian rebels.
Secretary of State John Kerry: "The answer is, yes, I will be meeting with the Syrian opposition in London, and, yes, we will be discussing various means of having an impact on President [Bashar] al-Assad's calculations about where the battlefield is going. We are left with no choice but to try to find ways to get him [Assad] to think differently about what lies in the future. That will be part of the discussion in London and in the ensuing weeks."
Alabama Gov. Signs Anti-Abortion Law; Arkansas Senate Advances New Curbs
Republican Gov. Robert Bentley of Alabama has signed into law a measure forcing clinics to have a state-licensed physician present at every abortion. Such doctors would also have to obtain admitting privileges at a local hospital, a step that can be impossible for abortion providers. The law is set to take effect in July. A similar effort is threatening the closure of the lone abortion clinic in Mississippi, but legal challenges are expected in both states. The state Senate in Arkansas, meanwhile, has advanced a measure that would cut off sex education grants to Planned Parenthood for providing abortions. Planned Parenthood says the measure could affect doctors and rape crisis centers for referring women to the group's services.
Jury Awards $236 Million to New Hampshire for ExxonMobil Contamination
The oil giant ExxonMobil has been ordered to pay a $236 million penalty for polluting groundwater in New Hampshire. On Tuesday, a jury found ExxonMobil liable for contamination caused by the gasoline additive MTBE. The jurors stunned the court by reaching their verdict in less than 90 minutes after three months of testimony. The damages more than double the $105 million awarded to the New York City Water District for ExxonMobil's MTBE contamination in 2009. ExxonMobil has appealed the case and says it will do the same in New Hampshire.
Arkansas Residents File Class Action Suit Against ExxonMobil for Oil Spill
Arkansas residents meanwhile have filed the first class action lawsuit against ExxonMobil for the massive oil spill near the town of Mayflower. A pipeline carrying tar sands oil from Canada ruptured late last month, leaking thousands of barrels of heavy crude into a residential area. The suit seeks more than $5 million in damages for what it calls "the worst crude oil and tar sands spill in Arkansas history."
Elderly Protester Halts Construction of Keystone XL in Oklahoma
A 79-year-old woman was arrested in Oklahoma on Tuesday for locking herself to a piece of construction equipment used in building the Keystone XL oil pipeline. Nancy Zorn attached herself to an excavator by placing a bike lock around her neck. She was detained after halting construction for several hours. The group Great Plains Tar Sands Resistance says it is escalating protests against the Keystone XL in Oklahoma following ExxonMobil's tar sands pipeline spill in neighboring Arkansas.
Hundreds of Students Stage Walkout Against Budgets Cuts in New Jersey
Hundreds of students walked out of class in Newark, New Jersey, on Tuesday to protest a wave of cutbacks at their schools. State budget cuts in New Jersey have led to teacher layoffs, school closing and a reduction in extracurricular programs. Defying threats of punishment and chanting "Stand up, fight back," the students marched to Rutgers Law School to protest outside a hearing on Gov. Chris Christie's latest budget.
Kelly Wins Illinois Special Election for Vacant House Seat
Former Illinois state lawmaker Robin Kelly has won the special election to replace former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. Jackson stepped down to receive treatment for bipolar disorder last year and later pleaded guilty to misusing campaign funds.
NYC to Pay Over $350,000 for Damage in Occupy Wall Street Raid
New York City has agreed to pay more than $350,000 for damage to the property of Occupy Wall Street protesters when police raided their encampment in November 2011. The late-night raid brought the Zuccotti Park encampment to an end after capturing global attention for two months. Around $50,000 will cover the destruction of thousands of books in the Occupy Wall Street library. Another $75,000 will compensate protesters for lost and damaged computers and broadcast gear.

For Fellow Explorers Everywhere
Located in beautiful Bend, Oregon, Deschutes Brewery is in the business of daring people to expect more from their beer. That's why we started off in 1988, on the banks of the Deschutes River here in Bend, Oregon, by selling Black Butte Porter at a time when others were sure a dark beer would never catch on. Our brewers love to push the envelope, especially if it makes someone nervous. But for us, the highest praise is a raised glass and a toast of "Bravely Done!"

text: Middle East Middle East Tom Finn on Feb 18, 2011 @ 7:26 AMFeb 18, 2011 @ 7:26 AM PublishedYemen: Protests rage for 9th dayAn anti-regime protester shows the palms of his hands as he and others gather inside the grounds of the Sanaa University in the Yemeni capital on Feb. 16, 2011, on the fifth day of consecutive protests against the regime of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.SANAA, Yemen — Police opened fire on demonstrators in front of Sanaa University on Saturday, marking the first time people were shot at during protests in the capital. Four people were wounded, according to GlobalPost's correspondent in Sanaa, Jeb Boone.Pro-government thugs continued to clash with anti-government protesters after people dispersed following the gunfire, in a clear sign that protests were continuing to gain momentim in the ninth consecutive day.In the past two weeks Yemen has been rocked by some of the biggest anti-government demonstrations the country has seen in a decade. Large-scale protests also took place in other cities across Yemen, including Taiz and Aden. By some reports, tens of thousands in total came out across the country. In the city of Taiz, at least two people were killed during protests after a grenade exploded in the middle of the city's central square. It was unclear who was responsible.President Ali Abdullah Saleh has ruled Yemen for 32 years, first as president of North Yemen and then, after unification with South Yemen in 1990, as leader of the newly united republic.His ruling party, the General People's Congress, holds a large majority in parliament, representing a "big tent" coalition. In addition, the president maintains an extensive informal patronage network of tribal leaders, businessmen and clerics.At the beginning of January, President Saleh proposed a constitutional amendment that would allow him to stand for re-election in the next presidential ballot in two years time.However Yemen's opposition coalition, which includes the Islamist party, Islah, as well as socialist and Nasserite parties have vehemently opposed the proposed amendments. Eyeing protests breaking out across the Middle East as well as increasing dissent growing within Yemen, Saleh promised he would step down in 2013 and that his son, Ahmed, would not succeed him.He also said constitutional amendments proposed by his party would be frozen and parliamentary elections scheduled for April would be delayed in order to allow for electoral reform."No extension, no inheritance, no resetting the clock," he said, making reference to ruling party proposals to abolish term limits that would have allowed him to run again.After three decades in power, Saleh faces widespread complaints of corruption and the concentration of power within his tribal sub-group, the Sanhan clan.Large areas of the country are already in open revolt against his regime, with a breakaway movement in the south, attacks on the security services by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and a de-facto semi-autonomous area under the control of northern rebels.The mainstream media has focused largely on the political objectives of the protesters — some of whom are calling on Saleh, who has ruled Yemen for 32 years, to step down. But many protestors are calling for changes in their livelihood as well as political reform."Together we fight against poverty, corruption and injustice," protesters at Sanaa University chanted Thursday, minutes before they were set upon by a swarm of pro-Saleh supporters, mainly middle-aged men wielding batons and cattle prodders."They are here because of poverty," said Hani Al-Maydsma, a 30-year-old employee at Yemen's financial ministry, beckoning towards the students. "People are dying, the economy is dying. Everything is damaged."Ali Tayman, a tribal sheikh from Marib province, said he had travelled to Sana'a to call for the president to step down. He said he refused to accept bribes of allegiance from the government. "Our authority has stolen all the money from our people," he said.One banner hanging on the university gates reads simply: "Look at the gap between rich and poor."For the average young Yemeni, daily grievances are far more important than politics. Graduates hope to find a job. Young men struggle to accumulate enough money to be able to get married. New couples battle with price hikes. Nearly half of the population lives on less than $2 a day and social development indicators — such as child malnutrition, maternal mortality and education — remain extremely poor, according to the United Nation's World Food Program.Yemen is ranked 138 in a list of 179 states on the United Nations' Human Development Index (HDI).Many of those taking to the streets are young unemployed men who, despite making up a large proportion of Yemen's population, find themselves economically and socially marginalised and living at the fringes of society."I came today because I had nothing else to do. I'd rather be here protesting than sitting on the roadside with my friends," said Jamal Al-Fadli, 19, who scratches a living by taxiing people around Sana'a on his motorbike.Yemeni youths like Jamal face daunting economic and political hurdles on the road to adulthood. Nearly half of Yemen's population of 23 million people are under the age of 15, 70 percent are under 25. With youth unemployment currently at over 50 percent and expected to rise further, this youth bulge presents a demographic and economic time bomb.Currently growing at a rate of 3.2 percent, Yemen's population is set to double by 2030."Our economy simply isn't big or strong enough to provide enough jobs for such a rapidly expanding work force," said Abdullah Al-Faqih, professor of political science at Sana'a University."The government has expanded universities and educated a swelling cohort of youth, without laying the groundwork to employ them. The number of graduates has overwhelmed the government's capacity to hire," he said.As well as economic alienation, young Yemenis also face social and political isolation. A 2008 USAID study assessing the state of Yemen's youth across job sectors found that 40 percent of those interviewed expressed frustration, describing the Yemeni job market as one in which only those with connections and power can obtain decent employment.Yemen's young men and women often feel alienated by social expectations like marriage and starting a family that are no longer achievable as a result of the deteriorating economic and political situation.Students have played a major part in the demonstrations and Sana'a University has recently become a hub for protests launched against the government.Amid the recent unrest, governments across the region have announced measures to create economic opportunities. Earlier this week, Saleh announced that he would waive this year's remaining fees for students enrolled in public universities. He also promised to establish a fund to help create jobs for recent university graduates."Waivering tuition fees will not stop students from protesting," said Rudhwan Masude, the head of the student union at Sana'a University. "Anyway most of the students have already paid their fees. There just aren't enough jobs to go round. The best students don't think twice before leaving the country to seek work elsewhere."Students leaving secondary school complain they are not adequately prepared for the world of work."My school education was completely disconnected from the realities of employment, I was taught to memorize theoretical concepts, when I should have been learning English," said Taha Al-Matari, a student of computer science at Sana'a University. "Our education system delivers quantity, but not quality."

So, how exactly did this happen?
The particulars of what took place after the shadows encompassed the pitching mound at Fenway Park late Sunday afternoon seems even more unbelievable as you get further away from it. As it transpired, the impression is simply that of a flurry of hits followed by a quick, 1-2-3 home half of the ninth inning and, ultimately, the Angels celebrating their 7-6, series-clinching win.
But as there is time to slow down that ninth, its construction becomes almost unbelievable.
Two outs, the Red Sox leading by two runs, and Jonathan Papelbon — not only one of the game's best closers, but a pitcher who had retired all but one of the last 17 batters he faced (having hit Toronto's Adam Lind on Sept. 29) — jumping out to an 0-2 count on Los Angeles' No. 9 hitter, Erick Aybar.
But then the improbable started showing its face.
First, Aybar turned around Papelbon's 97 mph, 0-2 fastball for a single. The fact that the shortstop jumped on the pitch in the zone shouldn't have come as a surprise considering he only took a called third strike twice in 158 0-2 pitches this season and had hit a reputable .222 when putting pitches on that count in play.
Papelbon also had thrown a remarkable high percentage of strikes on 0-2 pitches this year, tossing balls on just 35 of his 93 offerings with such a count.
The Red Sox closer proceeded to come back from a 3-0 count to the next batter, Chone Figgins, and work a full count. At this point, it was clear Papelbon was bring the hard stuff and nothing else, pumping in all four-seam fastballs. But the seventh pitch to Figgins sailed high, resulting in the pitcher's first free pass since Aug. 24 when he walked Chicago's Paul Konerko.
That was 56 at-bats and 263 pitches without a single walk until Figgins came around.
Up next was Bobby Abreu, the hitter who had reached base eight times in 12 plate appearances in the series. Above and beyond any other hitter Papelbon has had to face, Abreu had a talent for working the count against the closer, having drawn more walks vs. Papelbon than any other major league hitter (5). But when there wasn't a free pass involved, the hurler usually had the upper-hand, having retired Abreu in all but one of his seven official at-bats in the matchup.
This time Abreu took the first pitch for a ball before fouling off three straight pitches. Finally, the outfielder got a fastball to his liking, lining it sharply off the left field wall to draw the Angels within one.
Now Figgins stood at third with the tying run, with Abreu representing the go-ahead score at second and Torii Hunter at the plate.
Hunter entered the game 3-for-8 against Papelbon and was coming off an at-bat in which he was showered with chants of "Torii, Torii" prior to striking out against reliever Billy Wagner.
Hunter was perceived as a good clutch hitter, having totaled a .305 batting average this season with runners in scoring position and two outs. He also had hit .353 in "close and late" situations entering the showdown.
The choice was made by Red Sox manager Terry Francona: Walk Hunter and take your chances with Vladimir Guerrero, he of the 2-for-12 history against Papelbon.
The downside of such a decision was that Papelbon had little room for error, and had thrown all fastballs to that point, both facts that weren't lost on Guerrero. The numbers kept piling up — the cleanup hitter had hit .351 when putting the first pitch in play this season, with Papelbon issuing just two walks (and three hits) in 38 career plate appearances with the bases loaded.
Bottom line: If Guerrero was going to get a good pitch out of the gate he was going to swing at it. He did, and he did. The result was a line drive that center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury didn't have a prayer at reaching, leading to another black mark in Red Sox playoff lore.
"It hurts just as much as any other postseason loss. You can't sit there and classify how much this one hurts than any other. … In postseason play, my job is to, when I get called upon is to get all the outs I'm called on to get," Papelbon said. "I think things happened quick, more than anything. I wasn't able to stop the bleeding. Your team fights and puts you in that situation, to call upon you, and you let them down. Your team expects you to pull through and preserve that win for you and then you don't, it's definitely not a good feeling."
There was a bunch more we learned on the day the Red Sox' season died, some having to do with Sunday's turn of events, and others in regards to what lay ahead …
Following the Guerrero single, Papelbon was taken out of the game by Francona and replaced by Hideki Okajima. As the closer walked to the dugout, a smattering of boos infiltrated the stunned silence, the likes of which weren't lost on many of the Red Sox players.
In his teammates' eyes, Papelbon didn't deserve his first-ever negative Fenway Park reaction.
"I don't think he deserves for them to do that," pitcher Jon Lester said. "Obviously it wasn't everybody, you could tell that. But the few people that did I personally think it was uncalled for, but that's the way it goes sometimes, I guess. Hopefully we can come back next year and do better."
Did the fans' reaction come as a shock to Lester?
"Absolutely," he said. "I think it surprised everybody."
The lefty clearly wasn't alone in his take.
"The one thing I didn't agree with was a little bit of the fans kind of booing toward the end. Everything he's done here I think he deserves a little more respect that," reliever Manny Delcarmen said. "You normally don't see that."
Added outfielder Jason Bay: "Yeah, I understand everyone's frustration, but at the end of the day Pap didn't lose that game on his own and didn't have any part in losing the first two,. I think it was a culmination of everybody's frustration, and I'm sure they will be the same people the first save he makes next year they'll be on their feet. Understandable I guess, but from my angle a little disheartening."
With pinch-runner Reggie Willits representing the tying run at first base and two outs in the eighth inning, Papelbon drew on an old friend to get him out of the jam. For the third time in his career he picked a runner off first base.
It was also the second time Papelbon had delivered with a pickoff at a monumental moment, having nabbed Colorado's Matt Holliday in Game 2 of the 2007 World Series. And like that one, much of the credit has to go to bench coach Brad Mills, who called the execution of the play.
"Terry and I had discussed it and he said, 'Go ahead and do it here,' but I already had the sign up so I didn't have to do anything," Mills explained. "We just thought it was a good time."
Papelbon has worked diligently on improving his ability to hold on runners, having thrown over to first base 25 times this season, 15 more than a year ago. He has also learned to mix things up, as it was also just the third time this year he has executed a pickoff attempt on an 0-2 count.
Coming into the game, the Angels had three stolen bases this season against Papelbon, the most vs. any Red Sox pitcher other than Tim Wakefield.
Coming into the eighth the Red Sox were holding a 5-1 lead with Wagner on the mound. The first batter, Abreu, hit a seemingly harmless grounder which ate up first baseman Kevin Youkilis, bouncing into the photographer's pit for a leadoff double.
The play could have been ruled an error on Youkilis, who had already made one fielding miscue on a pickoff throw from Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz earlier in the game. He has never made more than one error in any game throughout his career.
After getting Hunter to strike out, Wagner walked Guerrero on eight pitches, giving Wagner nine free passes on the season, one shy of the reliever's total for the entire 2008 season (45 games).
Then came one a moment lost on many, but not Dustin Pedroia.
With runners on first and second, Kendry Morales hit a bounding grounder to Pedroia at second. But upon its arrival the ball took a bad hop, forcing the second baseman to collapse to his knees and smother it just enough to get the inning's second out at first.
Some, including Pedroia, felt like — especially with Guerrero running at first — there was a legitimate shot at an inning-ending double play when the ball left the bat.
"It took a bad hop," Pedroia noted. "Our infield sucks. It's the worst in the game. I'm not lying about that. That is true. It took a bad hop. I just tried to put my body in front of it to get an out.
"I think about those things, too. That stuff upsets me. My job is to take 1,000 ground balls a day and the other guy's job is to get the field perfect so we can play baseball. But it happens. That's the way it goes."
Once the Red Sox got to the bottom of the ninth, down by a run, they found themselves facing closer Brian Fuentes, a lefty.
Leading off the inning, Francona chose to pinch-hit Jed Lowrie for Alex Gonzalez, who was 1-for-6 in his career against Fuentes, and had one hit in six at-bats in the series.
Lowrie had said his surgically repaired wrist didn't bother him when hitting right-handed, although the infielder had experienced a limited amount of at-bats since returning to the majors in early September, having gone 2-for-12.
The result was a fly out to center field to lead off the inning.
Two weeks before, the at-bat would have most likely gone to Rocco Baldelli, who finished his season with the Red Sox having hit .290 against left-handers. But because of an injured hip flexor, Baldelli was not on the roster, leaving Lowrie, Jason Varitek and Brian Anderson as the only right-handed options off the bench.
Bottom line: Francona and the Red Sox were handcuffed by injuries, with the ninth inning magnifying that.
Lowrie will be heading back out to Arizona to have his wrist checked out once again by specialist Dr. Donald Sheridan. Meanwhile, Baldelli jogged Sunday for the first time since his injury and said he fully expected to be ready to play if the Red Sox reached the ALCS. He is so confident of his recovery that he has already signed up to play on his friend's recreational basketball league team, which starts in less than a month.
In other injury news, Wakefield met with doctors following the game to discuss when he could have surgery on his herniated disc. It is believed that a procedure will take place as early as this week.
It wouldn't be a Red Sox playoff game without some sort of legend to pass on, and that came courtesy of Figgins.
Figgins watched from his defensive position as a door next to the 379 marker in center field opened during the bottom of the ninth inning, after the Angels had taken their 7-6 lead. A conversation between Figgins and Red Sox third base coach DeMarlo Hale ensued.
Said Figgins: "It's funny, we saw that door open, and the third base coach tells me, 'You know the ghosts just opened the door.' And I said, 'Nah, not this time.' I was like, 'Close that door so we can close all this. Get three outs and let's take it home.' "
A short time later, the door was officially closed.
If the Red Sox did hold on, there was no doubt who would have pitched.
Daisuke Matsuzaka, the pitcher thought to have a chance to pitch Game 4 at one point, warmed up in the Red Sox bullpen throughout the game, and as early as the second inning. That left only one option for the potential next game — Lester, who had pitched on three days rest just once before, Aug. 23, 2008.
So, how did he feel heading toward Monday?
"It doesn't matter now how I felt. It really didn't matter to begin with," Lester said. "I was going to pitch."
One player who also regretted not getting another chance to take advantage of some momentum was J.D. Drew, whose fourth-inning, two-run homer was eerily similar to the kind of swing that had manufactured so many positive postseason memories — most notably his grand slam in the '07 American League Championship Series.
"I don't know if it's exactly the same swing, but similar to the one off Carmona, a pitch down and over the plate, stayed inside the ball and put a good swing on it," Drew said. "That's the thing I felt like there were some good swings today and was hoping to be able to battle again tomorrow, but it didn't work out."
One subtle aspect of the game that went noticed by the players were the shadows looming over the Fenway field throughout the game. Because of the 12:07 p.m. start time and early October date, the sun and stadium combined for a unique pattern all over the diamond.
"From the fifth inning on there was a big difference in the way you see the ball," said Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell. "Fielding it actually got easier. With the noon start there were a lot of white shirts, but as the shadows came in it kind of darkens so defensively it actually gets easier. But hitting got hard.
In the fifth and sixth I think it was toughest, when the pitchers in the sun and you're in the shade you almost see two different colored balls. You can lose it halfway. When the pitcher's in the shade and you're in the shade, it's maybe a little easier but the backdrop is still in the sun and that's what kind of throws you off. I didn't see [Scott] Kazmir my third at-bat as good as my first two."

Franklin Residential has purchased Keswick Village in Glenside, reports Natalie Kostelni at the Philadelphia Business Journal. The historic mixed-use property, she writes, was designed by Horace Trumbauer and consists of the following Tudor-style structures:
• A pad with a Susquehanna bank
• A two-story, 18,000-square-foot building with six retail stores and 11 apartments.
• A three-story, 38,000-square-foot building that has seven stores and 15 apartments. Those structures will be rebranded as Keswick Commons.
According to Kostelni, Franklin Residential will "spend nearly $2 million to renovate the interiors and exteriors of the existing retail and residential spaces," followed by a new housing construction:
The second phase involves constructing 65 to 80 age-restricted apartments on top of two to three stories of parking. That estimated $14 million project still needs to go through the local approval process and likely won't get underway for a couple of years.
• Keswick Village sells for $6.2M, gets new owner [Business Journal]

2008 Canada $350.00 Pure Gold.99999 Purple Saxifrage For Sale
Canada's youngest floral emblem—
Nunavut's purple saxifrage
At first glance, the harsh Arctic tundra may seem
barren, but every spring, one of the world's great
botanical beauties makes a stunning, yet short-lived
appearance there. It is the purple saxifrage (Saxifraga
oppositifolia), also known as French-knot moss or
aupilaktunnguat in Inuktitut, the aboriginal language of
Nunavut, Canada's youngest territory that adopted this
flower as its floral emblem on May 1, 2000.
Without its blooms, the purple saxifrage looks decidedly
unkempt; one would hardly guess this brownish mat
growing in the dust could ever produce such gorgeous
star-shaped flowers. But it does—and every year, a great
carpet of purple blooms will cover exposed ridges and
hilltops as if to defy the northern bleakness. Each
blossom is only 1 cm (.5 in) wide but looks large against
the tiny (3-6 mm or .1-.2 in) pairs of overlapping greygreen
leaves that appear scale-like.
Unfortunately, few people get to see this northern
beauty at its best; by the time the weather is warm
enough to attract tourists, its purple blooms are long

Water Fight
Recorded: Friday, March 7, 2014
Senior Fellow Randy T. Simmons, co-editor of Aquanomics, looks at the battles over water in the western United States. Thirsty citizens of growing cities, farmers, factories and environmentalists are in a fight for a natural resource that is priced arbitrarily. Its value is determined not by the free market, but by bureaucrats. Outdated government reclamation projects and water policies have put residents of the Golden State at the mercy of the weather, and of government's mandatory regulations.
