Tiffin, Ohio – May 24, 2010 – The nationally ranked Heidelberg University baseball team is represented by eight on the 2010 Mideast Region team announced by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) today, May 24.
Of its eight honorees, six were first team recipients including, senior catcher Steve Decker (Maumee, Ohio / Springfield), junior third baseman Willie Brechun (Canton, Ohio / Canton Central Catholic), junior short stop Jason Lash (Strongsville, Ohio / Strongsville), sophomore right fielder Ricardo Lizcano (Toledo, Ohio / Roy C. Start), junior right-handed closer Andy Lowe (Fort Wayne, Ind. / Carroll) and freshman right-handed pitcher Ethan Holt (Galion, Ohio / West Holmes).
Earning a spot on the second team was junior second baseman Gar Keen (Sparta, Ohio / Highland), while junior right-handed pitcher Brian Koehl (Sylvania, Ohio / Sylvania Northview) was an honorable mention selection.
Its eight honorees is an all-time best for the Berg, topping its six selections from a season ago. Also its six first team recipients is an all-time high for Heidelberg. The six first teamers now move on to the ballot for All-American recognition.
Heidelberg is in the midst of preparing for the Division III World Series set for May 28-June 1 at Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton, Wis. The Berg earned a spot at the World Series after winning the Mideast Regional Championship last weekend with a 6-2 win over Marietta College. Its trip to Appleton is the first ever for the program and the Berg will face Johns Hopkins University in its opening game on Friday, May 28. The Berg is riding a 17-game winning streak heading into the World Series and owns an overall record of 40-6. Aside from its regional title this season, the Berg claimed its fifth Ohio Athletic Conference Regular Season Championship and its fourth OAC Tournament trophy.
Decker is picking up his first all-region honor of his career. The three-year starting catcher also is a three-time All-OAC performer, earning a spot on the first team this season. He has saved his best season for last, batting .408 with 71 hits in 174 at bats. Of his 71 hits he has 20 extra base snags. He has set a new single-season record for hit by pitches at 23. In the field he has thrown out 22 would be base stealers and owns a .992 fielding percentage.
Joining Decker as a first time recipient of all-region honors is Brechun. At the plate, Brechun leads the team with 26 doubles, while sharing the team lead with Lizcano with 88 hits and is second with 65 runs batted in. He has also scored 59 times. At the hot corner, Brechun has a .917 fielding percentage and had helped to turn 11 double plays. His 26 doubles has set a new single season record at Heidelberg and in the OAC. He has already topped the single season record book in hits as well.
Lash is picking up his third all-region honor. He was a first team selection in 2008 and was a third team pick a season ago. Lash ranks third don the team with a .421 batting average. He is second in doubles with 25 and in hits with 77. He stands third in runs batted in with 54. In the field, Lash has helped to turn 30 double plays and owns a .950 fielding percentage.
Lizcano has made an impact from the onset of the season. His first all-region honor joins his All-OAC First Team nod and his selection as the OAC's Jack Rafeld Player of the Year. He has been a mainstay in the starting line up the entire season, spending the majority of his time in right field. At the plate he leads the team in batting average (.456), runs scored (74), home runs (15) and runs batted in (67). He shares team honors with Brechun with 88 hits. In the field, Lizcano owns a .982 fielding percentage in 171 chances.
It is the third time overall that Lowe has been voted to the all-region team and it's the second straight year he has landed on the first team. Joining his all-region nod is his second straight OAC Kent Tekulve Pitcher of the Year honor and his OAC First Team selection. The junior closer has recorded 12 saves on the year, topping his own school record he has tied in each of his first two seasons. He owns a 2.47 earned run average to lead the staff. Along the way he has struck out 48 and owns an overall record of 4-1. Last weekend he recorded a win and two saves to earn Mideast Regional Tournament Most Valuable Player honors.
Rounding out the list of first team honorees is Holt. In just his first season Holt has landed on the all-region and All-OAC First Teams. He leads the Heidelberg pitching staff with 57 strike outs and is tied with nine wins. He ranks second with a 2.60 ERA. Holt has found a spot in the starting rotation from the first week and has started 10 contests and thrown 69.1 innings.
Keen is picking up his second straight nod on the All-Mideast Region team. He is a three-year starter at second base and has landed a spot on the All-OAC First team every year. In his junior campaign, Keen is batting .363 with 70 hits in 193 at bats. He has scored 55 runs, while knocking in 43 of his own. Of his 70 hits, 24 have been for extra bases. On the field, Keen has assisted with 30 doubles plays and owns a .370 fielding percentage.
Koehl has secured his first all-region honor of his career. His all-region honor joins his All-OAC Second Team nod this season and his spot on the All-OAC honorable mention list as a sophomore. For the year, Koehl is an impressive 9-0 on the mound and has 53 strike outs. He has started 10 games and thrown 69.1 innings. Koehl owns a 4.15 earned run

Yes Or Yeah, Which Are You?
by Chris Malone
posted Feb 21 2013 5:07AM
Here we go again, the fine art of finding out about your personality! The way you answer "yes" or "no" questions reveals much about you, says Dr. W. Beryl West, a professor of psychology. "When someone asks you to respond in a positive or negative way, they're asking you to put yourself on one side or the other. This clearly expresses the way you feel," says West. "The way we usually or most often say yes or no definitely reveals our personality."
If you respond "yeah" or "nah," it means you are a casual person, spontaneous and fun-lovin. You enjoy throwing last-minute parties, and always see an easy way to accomplish things.
If you answer "yessiree" or "nosiree" -- or "yo", "yay" or "nay" -- you're generally a happy person, a free spirit. You're extremely flexible, well-liked and have an active social life.
Responding with "yes, sir" and "no, sir" means you're extremely polite, consider manners to be very important and enjoy being in charge. You're good at setting priorities and sticking to them.
If you answer "yes" or "no" you are a precise person. You're always on time. You usually have your days planned in your head. You're very sensitive and always know the proper thing to do or say.
If you respond with "mm-hmmm" for "yes", and "uh-uh" for "no," you're a physically strong person who believes in teamwork and likes people a lot. You also love animals and enjoy having pets.
People who reply "yep" or "nope" are extremely creative and set high goals for themselves, have lots of self-confidence and style, yet are tactful and polite when speaking their mind.

So my friends at TD are running a new contest: Redefine Retirement, I did actually go enter the contest, but you don't need to (but if you think up a really good 140 letter answer, post it here in the comments as well, love to hear what other folks are thinking).
So what is retirement really?
For my parents, they both retired and lived comfortable lives after working very hard raising 3 sons and both of them working full-time jobs (i.e. I do not resent or have any ill feelings about their retirement, they worked damn hard and deserved a nice retirement (unfortunately health issues did not make it as great as it should have been, but that is another story)).
What do I hope for MY retirement?
- To be in good health and active for as long as I can be. No I don't need to be running marathons, but an ability to walk where I want, lift things and take care of myself is very important (after seeing what my parents went through).
- To be out of debt, but this one may be a fleeting wish for me given I am helping my family out as best I can with education and I have a special needs child as well. I am planning on writing a few articles on the financial costs of having a child on the autism spectrum, but not just yet.
- Have an income where I can do what I want, but that is not to say I want to go on a cruise every year, or such, just do some fun things with my wife and family. My pension should be that basis, so I am less concerned in this area (unless my employer changes this around).
- I want to keep doing the things I love, and if those things include a job with a salary, I am OK with that. I have a lot of "away from work" activities and that is my career now, my job is my salary. This web site is actually part of my "career" (no it doesn't pay well, but you know that already).
- I want to help my kids if they need help (the way my parents and parents-in-law have helped us). This is not to say that everyone will think this is part of retirement, but in my mind being the Grandpa that sneaks their grandkids a $20 bill when their parents aren't looking, will be a good thing.
An active life after work is what I look for in "retirement", but I need to work very hard right now physically (as I already have some nagging health issues) and financially if I want to achieve this goal.
What does retirement mean to you?

The release this morning of Greece's 2nd Quarter GDP coming in at a minus 6.9% should be a wake up call to the central planning mentality in Brussels, but of course it will do nothing but reinforce the mandate from the European Central Bank to increase intervention and pressure on the Athens government. Although the claim that the deficit for the Greek government came in below estimates, the reality is that the rate of contraction will create a larger problem for the deficit issues and debt service than the ECB or Greek politicians dare to admit.
The other problem facing the European authorities is the rapidly increasing rate of Greek unemployment which today climbed up to 16.6% in May from 15.8% in April. If this pace continues, the collapse of the Greek economy will insure a default of unprecedented proportions, not because of the size of the default, but the demonstration that the ECB is incapable of managing a small PIIGS crisis and thus is probably going to fail to stem the issues in the other problem nations. The chart below of the unemployment situation in Greece is only masking the more severe issues about to hit the nation which started the collapse of the Eurozone:
(Chart and data from Hellenic Statistical Authority)
While that chart might look impressive, the bigger problem is the fact that 60%+ of the unemployed are in the 15 to 34 year old age group:
(Chart and data from Hellenic Statistical Authority)
If anyone thinks the austerity protests seen earlier this year and last year were bad, they are deceiving themselves. The government will either have to find a war to plow resources and young men and women into or be prepared for a new, more violent wave of unrest. It is impossible to have a functioning, expanding economy with both a socialist model and the a zero jobs growth for young citizens emerging from the education system into a nation with no economic future. Something will have to give and it will be fascinating to see how the austerity model imposed on the nation of Greece meets the reality of a contracting economy with high unemployment rates in the months ahead.
Because as Greece goes, so shall many of the other nations within the the European Union.

Iowa hoping for big run through Big Ten tourney
IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa knows that it will need to make a stunning run through the Big Ten tournament to earn an NCAA tournament bid.
The Hawkeyes think they're up for it.
Iowa's postseason resume is saddled with a weak nonconference schedule and a lack of quality road wins. But the sheer depth of the Big Ten means the Hawkeyes (20-11, 9-9) could drastically improve their profile before the NCAA tournament field is announced on Sunday.

Wannabe complexAssistant managing editor I remember a former senior colleague of mine once talking about a childhood experience of his that made him eager to be a National Assemblyman. One day, he saw an old man struggling as he walked, taking one step at a time, carrying on his back an A-frame loaded with a mound of branches and pieces of dead wood. Still a young boy at the time, he decided to become a politician to lighten the burden for ordinary people. To make this happen, he eventually joined an opposition party based in his home province and ran unsuccessfully for a local government office. Now, he runs a private business instead. On another occasion he talked in passing about the low points in black propaganda during his campaigning days and acted as if he wouldn't ever dabble in politics again. But he took the first chance to get back into the political limelight only to get out of it. Another former senior colleague also tried to push his way into politics but was checked by allegations of taking bribes and abusing official funds. He was cleared of them but his political ambitions are hopefully put on a temporary hold. I once saw the same uncouth honesty in him as in the late President Roh Moo-hyun. I am sure that, given a chance, he would continue to pursue a political career. Henry Kissinger captured it well when he observed, "Power is the great aphrodisiac." Maybe, Kissinger would be under Freudian influence, connecting every human behavior with sex ― either more or less of it. I believe that the two former colleagues are not power junkies, being separate from other political hacks, although I don't want to deny that they both possess an eagerness to stand out from the crowd, mixed up with an altruistic sense of duty for others. Borrowing from Freud, just like most human beings, they have an id, ego and superego competing with each other for supremacy in their psyche. I take it as part of human nature and am willing to settle for whatever Freud said and didn't say. However, I feel dumbfounded by the level of exposure, say, two candidates running in the by-election for Seoul mayor, are putting up with during the ongoing campaign for today's vote. Na Kyung-won, the candidate from the ruling Grand National Party, is accused of having undergone serious makeovers, some blogs showing her photos before and after at a certain point in her career. One post appears to be with tongue in cheek, observing, "A law department graduate from the prestigious Seoul National University can't be so beautifully endowed as well." This reflects a typical Korean case of schadenfreude against those who are blessed with multiple assets. In Na's case, the id may overpower the ego and superego with her driving force being her dissatisfaction about what she sees as public prejudice about her doll-like appearance ― she should be dumb because she can't be smart and pretty. Ironically, the 48-year-old is struggling to calm down allegations that she gets treatments from a famous dermatologist's, with membership fees fetching 100 million won. Now, detractors may argue with partial satisfaction that Na owes her pearl-color complexion to the expensive therapy. Being wealthy is not a good ticket for politicians seeking to get elected. Lee Myung-bak, our self-proclaimed CEO president, has been shifting his policy to fit a fair society for ordinary people as part of efforts to extend the conservative rule. Na was again the target of boos and jeers from organizations of handicapped people for being photographed with a naked child with disabilities she was bathing for campaigning purposes. She has acted as advocate for people with disabilities and her Samaritan work should be taken as a show of noble cause especially considering the affliction of one of her children. Now, attention is being shifted to that child and the rest of her family. In summary, before she bid to become Seoul mayor, she was a beautiful, a competent Princess Aurora but thanks to negative propaganda and personal frisking by the Internet, she is now portrayed to more resemble a manipulating Queen Ogre. As for her opponent, Park, former civil activist, is experiencing his moments of dirty laundry being aired for public view. He is accused of lying about his educational background. He is accused of plotting to dodge his military service from early childhood. He is accused of receiving donations indiscriminately from conglomerates and foreign private equity funds, using his enormous power as the fifth estate. He is seen by some as a pawn of Ahn Cheol-soo, Seoul National University professor and successful IT businessman, as Ahn pursues his own ambition to become the President. If they are asked whether the job of Seoul mayor is worth all the trouble, they will answer yes. But it is not Na, Park and other political wannabes but we, the voters that are the bigger victims of the whole yards of dirty campaigning and vote mongering. Above all, we are well aware of the candidates' flaws but are forced to choose between the two. Picking one from the other can be taken as our endorsement of the flaws of the candidate we vote for. Irrespective of who is chosen, we already know from our experience what little impact it will have on the way the city is run. By this time next year, or, more likely, immediately after the new mayor takes office, we will surely start to feel regretful about choosing the wrong candidate. In other words, the voters suffer from the constant trauma of being forced to choose the lesser of two evils. For that traumatic experience, a new mayor should take psychotherapy for Seoulites as one of his or her priorities. It is a matter of course that the therapy should be provided at City Hall's expense only for those who want it. I am sure that the cost will be less than that for free school meals and can be raised from savings from the slew of beautification projects former Mayor Oh Se-hoon spearheaded a la Lee Myung-bak during his days as mayor before becoming the President. |

The England Under 19 team are set to face their Irish counterparts in a two game One-Day International Series at Grace Road, Leicester on the 18th and 20th July.
Both games will be free entry and provide a chance for keen cricket fans to see England's future stars take on Ireland Under 19s ahead of this year's ICC Under 19 Cricket World Cup in Australia. The games both start at 10.45am.
The approaching ICC Under 19 World Cup later this summer will be staged in Townsville, Queensland with England facing Ireland in their second group match of the tournament. England start their campaign with a match against hosts Australia on 11th August at the Tony Ireland Stadium, Townsville.
England Development Programme Head Coach Tim Boon said: "The two fixtures against Ireland will provide us with a great opportunity to warm up ahead of the World Cup in August. The Ireland team are a very strong outfit and will represent a tough test to the guys before we travel to Australia in August."
Ireland Under 19 coach Ryan Eagleson said: "The players are really looking forward to the challenge of taking on England and the fact that the teams will be meeting again in Australia gives the series added excitement. George Dockrell and Graeme McCarter will be familiar to England fans given their performances with Somerset and Gloucestershire, and in addition we have a number of exciting all-rounders."


text: Jeff G. Holt Harley's Street Bob is a great bike that I feel will be a very iconic machine in a few years. It is a good-looking cycle from the factory and actually a very affordable bike for a big twin. The Street Bob has a great ergonomic layout with its low seat, mid controls, and not-too-tall ape-hanging handlebars. The 19 front and 17-inch rear tire wrapped in Michelin rubber are a great size for this bike, and with my 210-pound 5-foot-10-inch frame, it carves canyons just as well as any other bike in the current Harley lineup. The blacked-out powerplant has a sinister look and it just begs for a few added aftermarket upgrades. I had a '10 Street Bob that I murdered-out all club style and it was my favorite bike I have ever owned. It met an untimely death via a T-boning by a Toyota pickup, but after riding this sparkly red sheetmetal-clad version, I am planning to add a shiny new black denim one to my quiver again sometime this year. Chris Long This latest edition of the H-D Street Bob does not begin with a cheap first impression. With its classic solo seat and low stance, the factory option candy-flake paint draws me in for further inspection. The stylish new black dash console, black triple trees, and fork lowers nicely tie in the blacked-out 103ci (optional) power plant. More noteworthy aesthetics include a change to the side-mounted combo brake and turn indicators, a nostalgic round air cleaner, and a rubber-isolated handlebar clamp gripping the mini-apes. Once mounted and rolling, the ride is as expected from the upgraded 103ci powerplant—plenty of power up through the gears and no issues twisting up to full speed and Sixth gear barreling down the freeway. The combo of the candy-flake paint and blacked-out motor turns drivers' heads while on the highway. It's nice to not only be noticed, but to be "seen." The ergonomics of the seat and optional mid-controls all feel right at home for my lean and mean 5-foot-10-inch frame. Feeling confident while riding your steed during any journey is paramount. The low and agile Dyna heritage of the Street Bob has always lent itself to nimbleness, and this bike is no different. There is plenty of clearance for turns and braking is solid. Overall, this bike is a no-nonsense daily or weekend rider. With 2,000 factory-installed and website-based customizing combinations to select from, this bike is a solution for fans with the fantasy of that out-of-the-box custom Harley.

The MRC Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) is a centre of excellence for clinical trials, meta-analyses and epidemiological studies.
We are committed to strengthening and expanding the evidence base for healthcare nationally and internationally.
The CTU also develops methodology to improve the design, conduct and analysis of clinical studies, and hosts one of the MRC's eight regional Hubs for Trials Methodology Research.
The MRC CTU is a UKCRC registered trials unit.

Earlier this year WHO published new guidelines on HIV treatment. These guidelines include ambitious recommendations about increasing the number of people eligible for treatment, and the use of expensive laboratory tests to monitor people on treatment. These new recommendations have not been accompanied by increased funds. National governments need to prioritise which recommendations to implement. The MRC CTU at UCL has published a policy brief examining this issue.

The ICON6 trial has found that a new drug, called cediranib, improves survival among women whose ovarian cancer has come back after an initial course of chemotherapy. Taking cediranib daily during chemotherapy and afterwards for a total of up to 18 months increased overall survival by around 3 months, from 17.6 months to 20.3 months. These results were presented yesterday at the 2013 European Cancer Congress.
On 1 August the MRC Clinical Trials Unit (MRC CTU) became a University Unit at University College London (UCL). The transfer of the MRC CTU to UCL is part of a wider strategic alliance between the MRC and the university which has been agreed so that we can build on and enhance our research and open up new scientific opportunities. The transfer has also provided the impetus for UCL to form an Institute of Clinical Trials and Methodology, with the MRC CTU as the founding member.
The Medical Research Council celebrates its 100th birthday this year. To celebrate, the MRC CTU have produced a series of short films. They explore the role of clinical trials and the MRC CTU, and how trials are developed and carried out.

I took this cocktail to a Christmas Eve party this weekend and it was a hit! I did make a few modifications though: Doubled the recipe using only 2 lbs of pink lady apples, Only used cinnamon stick (6 total), 2 naval oranges, 1 cup apple pucker (in lieu of schnapps), and used a full bottle of passionfruit, mango sparkling wine (in lieu of club soda). I let the mixture sit overnight and in the morning removed the cinnamon sticks. Then, right before the party, I removed the soaked fruit and changed out for 1 lb fresh pink lady apples and 1 naval orange in thin slices. I also added the sparkling wine right before the party. Everyone loved it and raved about the recipe - they said it tasted like a Holiday Sangria and hope that it arrives every year now on Christmas Eve! Enjoy!!

Sugary-sweet Honeycrisp apples balance the spiced wine in this festive drink. Pink Lady or Ambrosia apples—which are slow to oxidize—would make good substitutes.

It's not about telling you what we do; we need to understand what you need, and create solutions that answer your problems. This can only be accomplished by listening, not talking. Oftentimes we're asked what is the "deliverable" that a person can expect to receive from a financial planning engagement? We respond with financial planning is a process and

"He turns 38 next month, but opposing executives believe his knuckleball could sustain him for years to come and I certainly agree. In knuckleballer years, Dickey is probably just 29″
9 year difference because he throws a knuckler? I can understand 33-34 years old, but not 29.
Anyways, Dickey is right in wanting to maximize his value, this is his last big contract.
Of course, there is no way we can afford to pay him, so they should at least aggressively shop him around.

I was able to find a few elements that are able to make this connection possible. I'm guessing the designer used some type of bar-sized element which is made from a different material that is able to compress slightly more than regular ABS. For example, the softer plastic used on some minifig weapons seems to work nicely:
Another option could be flexible ...
They used a "lightsaber blade", more generally called a Bar 4L or some other Bar element. Bar elements are used extensively in SNOT building since they can pass through both Technic axle holes, Hero Factory double holes, open-hole studs, as well as many other elements like the Erhling/Headlight brick with the standard bar sized hole.

A February 2006 trip to Maine by moatway
Quote: Mid-coast Maine (the area between Belfast and Portland) is not a magnet for tourists in the winter... perhaps that's its appeal.
For the shopper, there is Freeport which may be a town of retail outlets, but it preserves much of its old charm. Scattered through the other towns is a plethora of art galleries, retail stores, and good restaurants. Other sites not to be missed are the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, the Owls Head Transportation Museum in Owls Head, just south of Rockland, and the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath. Augusta, the state capital, is less than an hour from Rockland. Both the state house and the Maine State Museum are interesting visits.
Other than that, dress warmly. The wind is off the water, and it can be bitterly cold and damp. If you are a fan of winter sports, you are probably in the wrong place. The two premier skiing locations in Maine, Sugarloaf and Sunday River, are far removed, and you won't want to try to commute. With the exception of Interstate 95, most Maine roads feature varying speed limits as they wind through small towns. It can make for a long day of travel.
Access to mid-coast Maine for the tourist from afar is best made through the international airports in Bangor and Portland—or possibly for tourists using Southwest, through Manchester, New Hampshire.

Restaurant | "McMahon's Rockport Grill (Cody's)"
The restaurant was reviewed in 2006. It changed it's name to Cody's Original Roadhouse within the next few months. McMahon's is part of a restaurant-conference centre that is built around an older, large white house. The barn-like structure attached to the original building is the restaurant and inside is where the barn ends. The interior is extremely pleasant; it appears fairly new and is post and beam construction in blonde wood.
The main level features a bar and salad bar as well as a fair amount of seating in booths and at tables. The booths are all light pine (no cushions) and many are substantial enough to seat six to eight people. The light woods carry through to the table and chairs. The effect, with large windows, is extremely airy. There is often live entertainment and the night we ate at McMahon's, there was a girl playing the guitar and singing.
It's an informal restaurant in everything, including the menu, although some of the dishes are inventive as were the specials. The wine list is presented on a wine bottle which stays on the table and features a nice selection averaging about $24; all the selections are available by the glass at about $5. The menu is fairly extensive: a selection of steaks at $17 to $25, chicken and ribs, seafood (scallops, clams, a combination plate, salmon, shrimp and calamari), and even pizza.
We both selected the special… pan-seared prime rib covered with a horseradish topping. Unfortunately, since we had arrived close to 8, there was only one serving left, so my wife volunteered to have the clams. As it turned out, she was the lucky one. The prime rib was cooked to perfection, and the recipe was inventive, but it was the fattiest, most gristle-filled piece of meat I've ever had. Even the steak knife had a difficult time with it. The clams, on the other hand, were not particularly plentiful, but they were good. I expressed my disappointment to the waitress who informed the manager, apparently, but it was up to me to go over and talk to him. Assuring me that they guarantee satisfaction, he took the prime rib off the bill thereby leaving me with mixed feelings about the restaurant.
Mixed feelings? Well, the atmosphere was pleasant, the singer could sing, the waitress was quite nice, the salad bar was fine, the clams were good, and the coffee was good. The manager was pleasant and cooperative, but that prime rib…

McMahon's Rockport Grill 399 Commercial St, (Route 1) Rockport , Maine 04856 (207) 236-4431
Restaurant | "Marcel's (at Samoset Resort)"
It is an attractive room on two levels. On the lower level there is a row of tables at the windows and further in, a series of banquettes. The seating of the latter is plush and in pleasant off-red. The upper level boasts colonial chandeliers, oil paintings and wood beams. All in all, the room is very tasteful with subdued lighting and the notes of a well-played piano in the background. The staff is formally dressed and in keeping with the general aura of high standards, men are requested to wear jackets.
An exploration of the menu, which is available on-line at Samoset dining, offers up an interesting array of appetizers and main courses and relative to other restaurants in the area which can't hold a candle to Marcel's, the prices are quite reasonable. Some of the entrees include a half duckling ($22), filet mignon ($35), salmon filet ($20), pork tenderloin ($21), and beef Wellington ($38), but these are only examples. We chose to have a Caesar salad, followed by a small bowl of clam chowder (which, at $5, was absolutely world-class.), and the Dijonaise rack of lamb for two ($62).
The lamb is one of three dishes, the others being Chateaubriand for two ($70) and Steak Diane ($35), which are prepared, at least partially, at the table. I'm not fond of flaming dishes in my proximity in restaurants, but the girl who did it was typical of all the other staff… unobtrusive, friendly, and efficient. As I looked through the extensive wine list, I found that I was totally at sea as many of the labels were not familiar. I was rescued by the wine steward who suggested that a Chateauneuf du Pape (Telegraphie) ($49) would complement the lamb, and it did… extremely well.
The entire evening was a pleasure: excellent service, marvelous food, and a wonderful ambiance. There are a number of good restaurants in the northern New England states, but you'll be hard pressed to outdo Marcel's.

Owl's Head Transportation Museum Route 73 in Owls Head Oahu, Hawaii (207) 594-4418
Upon entry to the museum ($10.00 adult, 2006), the visitor finds an extraordinary collection of Andrew Wyeth's watercolours dating from 1938 to the 1990's. He is considered one of the best-known and most collectable of living American artists.
The works of his father and of his son, Jamie, are found in the Wyeth Center, a converted church, to the rear of the main museum building. N.C. Wyeth began summering in Maine in 1920 and son Andrew would launch his career there with his first show at the age of 20 and his first museum show at the Farnsworth Art Museum in 1951, thus the link to Maine.
In the Wyeth Center, the N.C. Wyeth Gallery contains a number of works which strike a familiar chord, for Wyeth was an illustrator of books. Scribner's Treasure Island for example, with its 17 illustrations by Wyeth, is still very collectable. The seascapes and country scenes found here are the result of his Maine summers and are a reflection of his desire to be taken seriously as a painter. Upstairs are the works of James Wyeth, who, like his grandfather, prefers to work in oil. The center, with its collection of exceptional works, is a wonderful space and in fact, all the gallery spaces in the Farnsworth Museum are expansive, the ceilings high, the lighting effective… a wonderful place to contemplate art.
In the Maurine and Robert Rothschild Gallery is the museum's permanent collection of works by New England artists who were inspired by Maine and the Maine coast. The collection, Maine in America, is particularly fine and features works that allow the visitor to trace Maine's development from colonial times. Artists included in the exhibit range from the 19th century (Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer and Gilbert Stuart) to the 20th century (George Bellows, Rockwell Kent, Andrew Winter and more). Further galleries feature some of the finest of modern American art, all built around a solid core of artists who live and work in Maine.
Downstairs, in the Tim, Micah and Sam Galleries, we found an exhibition of the works of Maine artist, Frederick Lynch. Although I found his work difficult, it served as counterpoint to the realism of the Wyeths and allows one to consider the diversity in art. In the nearby James Gallery we found a selection of works by Robert Indiana… silkscreens and serigraphs. Included is his most recognizable work, "Love" (1990) which placed him in the middle of the Pop Art movement. The museum has also purchased the sculpted version of the painting which is outside next to the Wyeth homestead.
For more, go to FarnsworthMuseum.

The Maine Maritime Museum 243 Washington St. Bath, Maine 04530 (207) 443-1316
Rockland's directory lists twenty art galleries, all of which are open in summer. In winter? Well, your choices will be somewhat limited and that is true of all kinds of shopping and indeed, restaurant options. As we explored the mid-coast, however, we found a number of interesting specialty shops, and even better, some great places for lunch. This selection is a combination of serendipity and subjectivity, but here it is…
SearsportSearsport is the home of Bluejacket Ship Crafters at 160 East Main Street (on Route 1), America's premier supplier of wooden-model ship kits and supplies. Even if you don't plan to build a model, drop into their shop to look at completed examples of their entire product line. There is also a selection of beautiful, completed models at reasonable prices, as well as books and paraphernalia. You can visit the company at Bluejacket.
FreeportFreeport is Maine's shopping magnet… the original outlet town. What sets Freeport apart is that it isn't a collection of mini-malls. The outlets have been integrated into the fabric of an attractive New England community. The Banana Republic store, for example, is housed in a historic, colonial mansion. People come to Freeport for L.L. Bean, and the main store is a real shopping experience for sportsmen and wanna-be sportsmen alike. (And sportswomen and kids, too). From the trout pond to the vast floor-space housing everything from snow shoes to shirts, it has to be seen. (There are actually three separate L.L. Bean buildings in Freeport… it will take a while to see them all.) My favorite store, at 112 Main Street, is The Mangy Moose. You'll find all kinds of moose paraphernalia including antler sheds, as well as decoys, Mad Bomber hats, and stuffed toys. Decorated with stuffed wildlife, it's different enough that you're bound to enjoy it. You can take a look at TheMangyMoose. New in this location at 116 Main Street is Bridgham and Cook, Ltd.. The home of all things British, the shop features everything from groceries… Marmite, Bovril and several brands of marmalade and cereal to beer paraphernalia from England, Scotland and Ireland. You'll find much more including beautiful outerwear from Barbour… yes, you too, can look like a member of the royal family on the country estate.
Otherwise, in Freeport, you'll find all the usual outlets, but for lunch, you might try the The Azure Café at 123 Main Street. The lunch area is uncluttered with light hardwood flooring, colonial windows and simple dark-wood tables and chairs… the menu is Italian and very good. There are salads, sandwiches and wraps as well as ravioli, capellini verdure, chicken marsala, lasagna formaggio, fettucini Alfredo and so much more including a nice little wine list. We really enjoyed lunch there. Upstairs, there are attractive dining rooms for dinner. You can find them at Azure Café. Next door to the Azure Café, you'll find the Jameson Tavern (1779). Apart from the fact that the structure is old, it is the site of the signing of the documentation that created the State of Maine. Now, it features a restaurant and a taproom, the latter being the perfect location for lunch. The taproom is pure colonial tavern with beams, a large bar and a wood-burning stove. It's a friendly, warm room with great service and great food. The lunch menu features seafood, salads, sandwiches, appetizers etc., most in the $8.00 - $12.00 range. I chose a Reuben and Maureen went for the Tortirustica. Well, I thought my selection with home-cut fries and homemade coleslaw was really good, but the tortirustica earned rave reviews. (Google tortirustica and you will go straight to Jameson's.) I can also recommend Dr. Hyde's Angry Ale (Geary's Brewing Co.) which is apparently made particularly for the tavern.
ThomastonLooking for that gift or keepsake with interesting provenance? Try the Maine State Prison Showroom on Main Street (Route 1). Most of the items here are various types of woodcraft, and much of it to quite a high quality. The pine and oak bureaus, bookcases and tables are reasonably priced and there is a large display of wooden toys, the like of which you're not going to find in many other places. There are also ship models, lamps, doll houses and boxes and so much more. It makes for an interesting visit. For lunch, try the Thomaston Café at 154 Main St. (Route 1). It's a nice room bustling with locals who come for the menu, which includes vegetarian dishes, pasta of the day, crab cakes, haddock cakes, etc. With walls decorated with black/white photography (for sale) and with a book case full of volumes for browsing and for sale, it's a charming place.
RocklandRockland's charming Main Street offers a number of interesting stores, but the gem among them is archipelago, the Island Institute store, at 386 Main St. Representing 80 island artists, it sells fine art (oils, watercolours) as well as books by Maine authors, and wood, glass and ceramic work. It's a wonderful place to pick up a special souvenir of Maine. If you're looking for something to read, just north of Rockland center is the Breakwater Bookland and Market Place on the Camden Road (Route 1). It is large enough that you should find something to suit you. You'll find well-priced markdowns and upstairs, there are used books at $4. For lunch, you might try The Brown Bag at the north end of Main Street. The Brown Bag serves only breakfast and lunch and seems to be a local favourite. The lunch menu, written on chalkboards, features an extensive variety of sandwiches, soups and chowders… and believe me, these are serious sandwiches. The room itself features brick walls and light wood tables and chairs… not fancy, but pleasant enough. In Rockland's town center, you'll find a local favourite for lunch, The Rockland Café (441 Main Street). Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, it's an unpretentious restaurant featuring large servings of good food at reasonable prices. Perhaps best described as plain or "down-home", the café will provide friendly service with a Maine accent in a pleasant atmosphere of historic photo-reproductions and a few autographed celebrity photos which attest to the business's popularity. The menu is more than large… it's massive, with something for everyone. Our fish and chips came in at $6.95 each and were really very good… fluffy fish with homemade fries and coleslaw. That was a tiny part of the menu which brags many items up-to-and-including a lobster dinner.
RockportThe State of Maine Cheese Company is at 461 Commercial St. (Route 1) in Rockport. It is Maine's largest cow's-milk cheese company and to check out their product line, you can drop into Maine Cheese.. While you can do your business with them through mail-order, the store is worth a visit. You can watch cheese production or you can browse through a selection of Maine wines (and some California brands as well), souvenirs, soaps, jams and jellies, venison and seafood. Our initial impression was, "Who would have guessed that they made so much stuff in Maine?" Where else can you find a can of "Road Kill Stew… It's Got to be Good, It's from the Hood?"
BathBath's short, historic Front Street has a marvelous kitchen store in numbers 45 to 51. Now You're Cooking features cookware from La Crueset, Anolon, Viking, Cuisinart, All Clad, Chef's Design, Emeril, Endurance and Gourmet Standard. And that's just the beginning… glassware from Reidel, Rosle implements, cook-books, small appliances, wooden salad bowls (running to $399) and dishware from Denby, Nigella, Pillivuy and Emile Henry. There is also a teaching kitchen on site… a serious cook or just a dilettante will enjoy the store. For lunch, there is JR Maxwell & Co. at 122 Front St. They boast that they prepare all their own salad dressings and the lunch menu is extensive in this pub/restaurant with support columns, brick walls, stained glass and beams. It's pub grub with imagination at about
Camden is, without doubt, the premier of the towns on the mid-coast. Incredibly busy in summer, much of the same shopping and lunching is available in winter. A wander around the town will bring you to three businesses that we enjoyed very much… all on Bay View Street. For artwork, try the Duck Trap Bay Trading Company (37 Bay View). There are a number of galleries in town, but it you are looking for a wide selection in all price ranges, this is the place. With two floors of exhibition space featuring everything from reasonable watercolours to expensive oils and some sculpture thrown in for variety, the Duck Trap has something for you. Next door, you'll find ABCD Books(23 Bay View). Old, high-ceilinged rooms are packed with an eclectic collection of used books - mostly in hard-cover. The strength is in history, literature and fiction with a nice collection of children's books. Prices aren't particularly low and first editions demand a premium. Buy or not, it's a great visit for the book-lover (I know, bibliophile). Across the street, you'll find the lovely Once a Tree (46 Bay View). The large shop features beautifully crafted woodworks, everything from salad bowls to jewellery chests, as well as pottery and any number of tasteful and attractive things. Just a wonderful shop.
If your visit has you feeling peckish, then you might try Cappy's which is highly recommended. We arrived only to find out that it was closed on winter Wednesdays and settled for the Village Restaurant next door (5 Main Street). The restaurant is a bright attractive room with a fantastic view of Camden harbour through the large windows. You'll find appetizers including clam chowder and lobster stew, salads ($7.95-$16.95), sandwiches, wraps and burgers ($6.95-$13.95), seafood, chicken dishes and salmon ($8.95 - $13.95). To our dismay, both clams and salmon were unavailable and we both chose the fried scallops ($12.95)… it was a big meal, all very nice and quite well done. If you're from away, this is an opportunity to try Belfast Bay Brewing's Lobster Ale. Not bad, at all.
Belfast may not be the most attractive town on the mid-coast, but its little Main Street features some interesting shopping. Two businesses that grabbed our attention were The Green Store and The Clown. The Green Store calls itself a general store for the twenty-first century and for a while, I wasn't really sure what it was trying to be, but if I were and environmentalist or survivalist, I would have to check it out. But it's so much more than that… eclectic and interesting. The Clown is your place for wine and olive oil… there's more than that, but it does have a good wine selection and the place just makes for a nice visit.

By Ronald Radosh - Special to The Washington Times
The Jury isn't out on Angela Davis the Black radical is among honorees on D.C. court wall.
Potential jurors reporting for jury duty in the D.C. Superior Court building
have of late been passing a photo exhibit celebrating renowned black
women in a series of posters, each featuring portraits of trailblazers
exemplifying greatness in their respective fields.Included among
the posters, hung for Black History Month on the walls outside the
jurors' lounge, is one in which the D.C. courts — the federally funded
judicial branch of the D.C. government — honor eight "Black Women Paving the Way to Greatness in Politics."One might quibble with some of the choices, but most of them are women who indeed deserved to be celebrated. They include: Shirley Chisholm, the first black congresswoman and the first black woman who sought to run for president; Carol Moseley Braun, the first black female U.S. senator; former National Security Council adviser and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the first black female to hold both offices; Patricia Roberts Harris, the first black female Cabinet secretary, U.S. ambassador and law school dean; and our current first lady, Michelle Obama.
One of these personifications of "greatness," however, comes as a shock,
especially in the context of a court of law. It is none other than Angela Davis, a black activist who came to prominence in the 1960s as a leader of the Communist Party U.S.A. and the radical black group the Black Panther Party. Ms. Davis was such a high profile communist in the latter days of the Cold War that she was awarded the so-called "Lenin Peace Prize," given to her in a
Moscow ceremony by Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev himself.Of course, Ms. Davis, too, was a trailblazer in her own way.
She was the second black woman to make the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. She earned that distinction as a fugitive wanted on murder and kidnapping charges stemming from her role in a notorious attack on a courtroom in Marin County in California.On Aug. 7, 1970, a black 17-year-old named Jonathan Jackson, toting a small arsenal of guns, entered the courtroom of Judge Harold Haley, where convict James McClain was facing murder charges in the death of a prison guard. Brandishing a gun, Jackson halted the proceedings and then armed McClain, after which they together armed two other convicts, who'd been called as witnesses in the case. Jackson and the three freed prisoners then took Judge Haley, the prosecutor and three female jurors hostage, bargaining chips in their effort to force the release from prison of older brother George Jackson, an armed robber who also was under indictment on murder charges in the death of another prison guard.A career criminal turned Black Panther prison organizer, George Jackson
was the author of "Soledad Brother," a collection of his militant
prison letters. The abductors fled with their hostages — Judge Haley
now with a sawed-off shotgun taped under his chin, the others bound
with piano wire — in a waiting van. They didn't get far before reaching a
police roadblock, where a shootout erupted, leaving Judge Haley, Jonathan Jackson and two other kidnappers dead, the prosecutor paralyzed for life and a juror wounded.It was quickly established that Angela Davis had purchased at least two of the guns used in the deadly attack, including the shotgun that killed Judge Haley,
which she had bought two days earlier and which was then sawed off.
California law considered anyone complicit in commission of a crime a
principal. As a result, Marin County Superior Judge Peter Smith charged Ms. Davis with "aggravated kidnapping and first-degree murder" and issued an arrest warrant for her. Instead of surrendering for trial, Ms. Davis went into hiding. She was captured by the FBI almost three months later at a Howard Johnson motel on 10th Avenue in the heart of New York City.Ms. Davis
claimed that she was innocent, and her case became a cause celebre, as
the international communist movement bankrolled her defense and
organized a worldwide movement to "Free Angela."
Eventually, she was acquitted in 1972, despite her proven ownership of
the murder weapons and a cache of letters she wrote to George Jackson
in prison expressing her passionate romantic feelings for him and
unambivalent solidarity with his commitment to political violence.As in the O.J. Simpson trial, however, many remained convinced of the defendant's guilt despite the jury's verdict. Ms. Davis
was acquitted, wrote author and ex-radical David Horowitz for his Front
Page website, "in part because of the difficulty the prosecution had in
establishing in court the real connections between Davis and Jackson,
and in part because the jury was stacked with political sympathizers
like Mary Timothy, an anti-Vietnam [War] activist," who, according to
Mr. Horowitz, would later become the "love interest" of Bettina
Aptheker, a prominent Communist Party activist and organizer of the
National United Committee to Free Angela Davis and All Political Prisoners.There is a further irony in the homage to Ms. Davis' "greatness" displayed for jurors in the D.C. Courthouse, the scene of people tried for actual crimes who might go to prison: Ms. Davis
is these days a driving force in the prison-abolition movement and
founder of a group called Critical Resistance, which is dedicated to
smashing what she calls "the prison-industrial complex."Ms. Davis
holds that any black serving a prison sentence in the United States is
in reality a "political prisoner," whatever offense they may have
committed. In her lexicon, those convicted are only victims of "masked
racism." As she wrote in 1998, the poverty in which blacks are
"ensconced" causes them to be "grouped together under the category
'crime' and by the automatic attribution of criminal behavior to people
of color." The purpose of prison, in her eyes, is simply to "disappear"
people who come from "poor, immigrant and racially marginalized
communities."Ms. Davis
imputes to the American ruling class what she terms "racial assumptions
of criminality," which enable the nation to lock up the innocent under a
veneer of legality and "disappear the major social problems of our
time." As she explains, most people "have been tricked into believing in
the efficacy of imprisonment," even though "prisons do not work." Ms. Davis
envisions linking her struggle against this "complex" with other
"strands of resistance" to build a new "powerful movement for social
transformation."In the D.C. Courthouse, as juror selection takes
place, lawyers for both sides daily strive to winnow out even subtle
biases that could impinge on a jury's impartial hearing of trial
evidence. With her blanket dismissal of evidence as irrelevant in trials
of (automatically innocent) minority defendants, Ms. Davis indicts the entire American legal system as a rigged farce.Did it occur to anyone in the D.C. court system that honoring her for the benefit of its jury pools might send a mixed message?
While Ms. Davis
proudly wore the badge of political prisoner, and applies it to any
black person who is held in prison, even when she was awaiting trial she
steadfastly backed the imprisonment of Soviet political dissidents,
whom she called common criminals. When Russian tanks and troops
intervened in Czechoslovakia in 1968, she proudly defended the Soviet
invasion. Nobel Laureate Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn told the AFL-CIO in 1975
that given her own campaign on behalf of her freedom, it was more than
hypocritical for her to oppose an appeal made to her for freedom by
Czech dissidents. Ms. Davis has denied the claim.Is Angela Davis,
one must ask the federally funded D.C. Courts, really the kind of
person to honor in their halls of justice as an esteemed person of color
for jurors in the nation's capital to emulate and look up to?• Ronald Radosh is an adjunct fellow at the Hudson Institute and a columnist for PJ Media.

Introduction to Voice over IP (VoIP)
One important step into adopting VoIP is to choose a VoIP service, which will allow you to make and receive cheap or free local and international phone calls. It is important to choose the right type of VoIP service. Your needs and the way you will communicate should help you decide which type of VoIP service to choose. The list below shows the existing types of VoIP service, and helps you decide which type suits you best.
PC (computer) Based VoIP Service (Software)
Computer-based or software-based VoIP service is the most common among VoIP users. This type of VoIP service can be used for free in most cases, especially when they involve PC-to-PC communication over the Internet. You only have to download a VoIP application (called a softphone) that the VoIP service provides and install it on your machine, register for a free account, and talk. The calls are unlimited and free when you talk to people using the same VoIP service on their computers. Calls to mobile and landline phones are charged, but cheap. A headset is the minimal hardware required.
SOHO/Residential VoIP Service
This type of VoIP service is the one to replace your existing phone line at home or in the office. On signing-up for the VoIP service, which you can do online, you are sent an ATA (phone adapter) that you plug, on one side, to your broadband or satellite Internet link and on the other to your regular phone set. The cost includes a once-off subscription fee and monthly fees, which are most of the time flat rates. Calls can either be made unlimited locally or towards certain destinations, or the service can cover a limited number of minutes (depends on VoIP provider).
Mobile VoIP Service
If, like anyone else, you are wondering how to cut down the cost of your mobile communication (and even make a free calls from your mobile phone!), a mobile VoIP service might be the solution. Cost is not the only thing about mobile VoIP – it also allows you to carry all the benefits and features that VoIP offers. Read more on mobile VoIP services and how-to's
Business VoIP Service and Solutions
You might have a network-centered business in which you want to deploy VoIP as an internal and external communication solution; or you might have a small enterprise with a small number of phones. Business VoIP service has solutions as packages, or tailored to your needs. If you want something simple, you can go for the business plans of residential VoIP services or consider more specific and business-oriented VoIP solutions.
Below the line
Anyway's if you are not on VoIP yet for for voice communication, then you are most certainly using the good old phone line (PSTN – Packet-Switched Telephone Network) or a cell phones. On a PSTN line, time is really money. You actually pay for each minute you spend communicating on the phone. International calls are much more expensive. Since VoIP uses the Internet as backbone, the only cost you have when using it is the monthly Internet bill to your ISP, but many of them are fixed rates per month. Of course you need broadband Internet access with proper bandwidth on it and other parameters must be good (ping, latency, packet loss).
In fact, unlimited 24/7 Internet service (ADSL, FFTB, FTTH, satellite links) is what most people use today, and this causes your monthly cost to be of a fixed amount. You can speak as much as you wish on VoIP and the connection cost will still be the same.
Studies have shown that, compared to using a PSTN line, using VoIP can potentially make you save up to 40 % on local calls, and up to 90 % on international calls.
Using VoIP also means benefitting from its abundant features which can make your VoIP experience very rich and sophisticated, both personally and for your business. You are thus better equipped for call management. You can, for example, make calls anywhere in the world to any destination in the world with your VoIP account. Features also include Caller ID, Contact Lists, Voicemail, extra-virtual numbers etc.

For position player the Reds drafted #1 have produced the following numbers in MLB
25,377 trips to the plate, 7158 hits and 2230 extra base hits. Barry Larkin is responsible for 32.6% of those ab's and 32% of the ebh's and 31% of those ab's, the other ten players who made it to the show own the rest.
Worst? take your pick, almost anyone who didn't make it or player who didn't sign would be a start
As for pitching the Reds peaked in the draft as far as arms are concerned in 1969 when they picked Don Gullett in slot number 14. This was after choosing Wayne Simpson and Gary Nolan. The 3 of them combined for 255-15 record and 3702 innings.
Since then the Reds have drafted 18 pitchers for their first pick, the combined total of their contribution to the pitching community is a record of 193-219 and 3449 innings pitched. At this juncture Brett Tomko is on the path to becoming the Reds draft choice to throw the most innings in the major leagues since the draft started.
That speaks volumes about Reds inability to get pitchers from the draft to the mound in Cincinnati.
During the Howsam years you would think that the Reds would have created some nice number one picks, only one player drafted number one in the 70's ever made it to the big leagues and that was Nick Esasky.
