|Immigration debate short on black voices
|African and Caribbean immigrants ignored
|Published Thursday, February 7, 2013 7:22 am
Suddenly pressed by political imperative and rapidly shifting post-election demographic winds, the U.S. Senate �Gang of Eight� huddled intensely over the most daring attempt at comprehensive immigration reform since 2010. It was an aggressive effort, the scope of which rattled many longtime Hill observers. By week�s end, the most ardent pessimists were forced to acknowledge that a potential breakthrough could be on the horizon.
As Democrats and Republicans wrangled over the details in closed-door sessions, one calculation was clear: it was all about who could win the hearts and minds of Latino voters first. Democrats need that vote to continue dominating the presidential election landscape while hoping to retake the House during Congressional midterms in 2014. Republicans, however, are in a more desperate war for the demographic, recognizing they will need Latino voters if they plan on surviving as a viable national political party.
But, conspicuously absent from the immigration reform debate are black immigrants, who account for nearly 10 percent of foreign-born individuals in the United States. It�s an omission that�s prompted many in the black immigrant community to cry foul, with others � including African Americans � pointing to willful Washington ignorance of black immigrants as nothing more than run-of-the-mill institutional racism.
�They�re already dealing with enough black people as it is,� joked a black congressional aide speaking off record to give a candid assessment. �Do you think they want more coming into the country?� gesturing towards a phalanx of approaching white representatives walking down a Capitol hallway.
There is a general feeling among many in the U.S. African Diaspora that black immigrants are at the bottom of the immigration policy totem pole, due to nothing more than the darker shade of their skin. Latino immigrants, while many are illegal, get the media attention, some say. Others point to the disparity in treatment between politically-backed Cuban immigrants and powerless Haitian immigrants, each attempting dangerous trips to Florida shores.
Yet, black immigrants are the most educated compared to their Latino, Asian and European counterparts. Nearly 50 percent of African immigrants from places such as Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra Leone have obtained a college degree. Only 43 percent of Asian immigrants have obtained a degree, and a smaller 30 percent of immigrants from Europe, Russia and Canada have done the same.
But, while black immigrants maintain some of the highest higher education rates in the world, they remain invisible in the larger immigration reform debate. Lawmakers in Washington and state legislatures tend to focus on the vexing Latino problem � a natural reflex given the fact that Latinos, particularly from Mexico and Central America, make up the lion�s share of the immigrant population.
�Obviously the size of the African immigrant population is smaller, and they do not have the coordinated or aggregate political power compared to Latinos,� observes Minneapolis-based immigration lawyer and expert Paschal Nwokocha. Nwokocha, Nigerian-born but now a U.S. citizen, expresses deep concern that the black perspective is left out. As the former chair of the American Immigration Lawyers Association Minnesota/Dakota Chapter, he�s worked closely with legislators such as Congressional Black Caucus progressive Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) on the issue.
�This is a frustrating issue,� argues Nwokocha. �I think a lot of us are left out. And then you have others who don�t want to be identified with the immigration struggle but want to reap its benefits.�
Jeneba Ghatt, a Washington Times commentator and herself an immigrant from Sierra Leone, agrees. �You best believe there are millions of Africans and Caribbeans waiting in the wings, watching and anxious to see comprehensive immigration reform moved because more likely they will benefit.�
�The last time we heard Congress talking about Africans was when the House tried to nix the diversity lottery visa program.�
As the debate rages on, African immigrants seem much more open to an exchange on the mechanics of the reform debate while Caribbean immigrants seem noticeably tight-lipped. When attempts were made to discuss the issue with Rep. Donna Christensen of the U.S. Virgin Islands � a major entry point for many West Indians � the office seemed reticent, with one staffer only commenting that the Congresswoman �was currently working on a legislative proposal.�
Sources on and off Capitol Hill also note that black members of Congress are simply not focused on immigration as a priority, despite the fact many of them represent large pockets of black immigrants.
While African immigrants seemed eager to discuss the issue, calls to other major Caribbean community leaders and organizations went unanswered. An active member of the West Indian community in Washington, D.C. anonymously attributed the silence to �pride.�
�Caribbean people are very proud,� explained the source, clearly perturbed by the question. �They feel that talking publicly about the issue is somewhat insulting or that it lumps them into the same category as illegal immigrants when they all worked very hard and sacrificed so much to become legal citizens.�
Garry Pierre-Pierre, senior editor for the Haitian Times and an active advocate within the U.S. Haitian Diaspora, observes that the Caribbean community is simply satisfied with letting the Latino community handle it. �Other immigrant advocacy groups have been working in the background with the Latino organizations,� said Pierre-Pierre. �The other groups don�t really care about being mentioned, they care about the results that are good for all immigrants seeking a path to citizenship and better working conditions.�

An average woman's menstrual cycle is around 28 days long, although very few women have cycles that are exactly 28 days long. Women's cycles vary vastly, and the best indicator of menstrual cycle health for that woman is cycles of similar length. When a woman's cycles are irregular, she has a difficult time anticipating when she is ovulating, so she cannot estimate her fertile days.
A woman's menstrual cycle starts on the first day of her period, which is when her body sheds the uterine lining and unfertilized egg from the previous cycle. Once her period is over, the woman's ovaries produce a mature egg, which is then released from the ovary into the fallopian tubes. After the egg has been released from the ovary, it can survive for around 24 hours. In order for a cycle to result in a successful pregnancy, the egg must be fertilized soon after it is released. Sperm can survive inside a woman's cervix and uterus for up to a week, so it helps for a woman to know when she ovulates in order to time sexual activity.
A woman can be considered fertile for the seven days before she ovulates. Therefore, if a woman has a shorter cycle, she is considered to be fertile for a larger percentage of her cycle than a woman with a longer cycle. For example, a woman with a 21-day (three-week) cycle is fertile for approximately one-third of the entire cycle, whereas a woman with a five-week-long cycle is only fertile for one-fifth of each cycle.
Statistically, it seems as if the women with shorter cycles have an advantage when it comes to trying to conceive. Those women tend to also be lucky in another way; their menstrual periods also tend to be shorter. Women who have very short cycles may have problems when it comes to fertility, though. When a woman ovulates after a very short period of maturation in the ovary, the hormonal cues in the woman's body may not have enough time to adapt and change throughout the cycle. Therefore, that woman's hormones may not be at levels high enough to maintain and develop a pregnancy. If a woman is concerned that her short cycles are responsible for her lack of ability to conceive, she should see her OB/GYN in order to have her hormones assessed. From there, the woman can discuss options with her doctor in order to create more hormonal balance throughout her cycle.
Women with short cycles can maximize their chances of conceiving by having sexual intercourse continuously throughout her cycle, so as not to miss her time of ovulation, since it may come earlier than anticipated in the cycle. If she finds that her cervical mucus is not thin or plentiful enough, or it does not have the "egg white" texture considered to be the ideal consistency, she can use sperm-friendly lubricant to help carry the sperm into her cervix. A short cycle does not preclude successfully conceiving a child, and can actually aid in conceiving quickly!

FOR the second year in a row Warrington Wolves' Challenge Cup dream has ended at the semi-finals stage.
Wolves, victors over Leeds in the 2010 and 2012 finals at Wembley, gave themselves too much to do in the second period after making life very difficult for themselves from the start.
Trailing 14-0 at half time, Tony Smith's side were tremendous in getting back to within eight points twice and had Leeds pinned on the back foot for long periods.
But there was always a risk of needing to take chances and falling foul to a sucker punch.
It was England winger Tom Briscoe's breakaway effort from Simon Grix's dropped ball that eventually proved crucial.
Nervy Wolves took a real pummelling in the hot sun in the opening 15 minutes at Langtree Park, most of which was spent in their own half.
A crazy first kick return from Matty Russell, in which he ran straight into Ben Harrison and caused an obstruction, allowed Kevin Sinfield to boot Leeds into a 2-0 lead from 12 metres after two minutes.
Stefan Ratchford then kicked the ball straight over the dead-ball line from the restart to put his team under pressure, the Wolves stand off then scooping up a grabber at the end of the set as Leeds forced a drop-out.
Leeds earned another drop-out from Danny McGuire's short kick cleaned up by Joel Monaghan as the Yorkshiremen dominated the early possession.
Chris Bridge, Anthony England and Ben Westwood held Carl Ablett up over the try line as Wolves' defence held strong but they could not get out of their half, for at the end of the next set Ratchford's clearance kick ricocheted around and led to England finding himself offside.
And a high tackle from Ratchford on Joel Moon 15 metres from his own line made it 4-0 in penalties to Leeds as they ramped up the bombardment on Wolves' line.
Again, Tony Smith's side resisted and a gutsy life-saving tackle by Ben Harrison, Russell and Ratchford prevented Jamie Jones-Buchanan touching down and knocking on in the process.
On brief excursions into Leeds territory a Ratchford bomb was taken easily over his own line by Zak Hardaker and a chance offload from Richie Myler ended up in Ablett's hands.
It took a 60-metre touch finder from Michael Monaghan to finally look as though Wolves could settle down.
But the next time Wolves got into Leeds' half the last play ended with Joel Monaghan kicking high but straight into touch.
Simon Grix's first touch off the bench resulted in a knock-on around Wolves' 40-metre line as the error count continued to rise alarmingly.
All the pressure finally paid off in the 30th minute as video referee Ben Thaler awarded Ryan Hall a try with benefit of the doubt, squeezing in at the corner flag under the challenge of Joel Monaghan off Moon's pass.
There was a question mark if Hall lost possession in the act of scoring but video replays were unclear and when Sinfield booted over the extras from the touchline Leeds held an 8-0 advantage.
At this stage, Wolves had still not threatened Leeds' line and a promising half break from Russell broke down with his skilful offload to Myler ruled forward by referee Phil Bentham.
A few minutes later, on the next visit to Leeds' 20-metre line, Myler's flat pass to Roy Asotasi was judged to be forward and another error cost Wolves an attacking opportunity.
Wolves' first great chance to score came to nothing when Kallum Watkins got back to intercept Asotasi's long pass to Ryan Atkins in broken play after Hardaker lost a hick kick in the sun and Michael Monaghan had pounced to initially keep the ball alive.
Then, Leeds struck again after Hardaker broke through Paul Wood and Asotasi on a kick return.
With Wolves scrambling, McGuire's long pass from first receiver - that was actually forward - sent England winger Hall over for his second try and Sinfield's touchline conversion pushed them 14-0 ahead after 40 minutes.
The nearest Wolves came to scoring was with the final play of the half after a penalty awarded for interference by Moon.
With the clock ticking down Russell found himself in space on an angled run to the line but Brett Delaney clawed him to the floor and the hooter sounded.
The second half was all about Warrington gaining a fairer share of possession and territory and seeing if they could rack up points on the back of it.
They blew a scoring opportunity two minutes into the second stanza, with Rhys Evans breaking away in a four-on-one opportunity. As Atkins received the inside pass the cover defence closed in and when Ablett hauled him down the Wolves centre blindly offloaded into the hands of Sinfield.
Two minutes later Wolves did get themselves back in the game, with a Myler cross-field kick being taken in the air by Joel Monaghan and his pass allowed Bridge to walk over unopposed.
Bridge's conversion attempt bounced wide off the post but Wolves at last had points on the board at 14-4.
Leeds were starting to look lethargic as Wolves increased the physicality in defence.
And then another hanging kick from Myler towards Joel Monaghan caused Hall to spill under pressure and a scrum created an attacking set that fell down with a blocked Myler grubber.
The counter attack from Watkins paved the way for a further break from Rob Burrow and then swift movement to the left allowed McGuire to put Moon through a huge gap and score a punishing try that went unconverted, making it 18-4 after 54 minutes.
Ratchford's re-start found the dead-ball line with a bounce to give Wolves an attacking platform.
A high tackle on Trent Waterhouse maintained the raid and Chris Hill, sporting a badly bruised right eye and cheek, was deemed to have lost the ball over the line in a four-man tackle as the opportunity went begging.
But Wolves, with Bridge switched to stand off and Ratchford operating in the centres, were not going to give up.
And, with the help of several repeat sets from Leeds ricochets, Ratchford got over from a wonder Westwood offload, following a determined driving run from Atkins. Bridge's extras cut the gap to eight points with 63 minutes played.
The game looked to be over 10 minutes later when a pass from Myler was not taken in by Grix and Briscoe pounced.
He had 60 metres of open space in front of him and although Rhys Evans got to him the fend was strong and the England winger was able to canter the final 20 metres.
Sinfield's goal extended the Leeds lead back to 14 points with 11 minutes, including injury time, remaining.
Although Wolves did finish the game strongly, they were racing the clock.
Three minutes into injury time a bizarre Westwood try from England's offload knocked backwards 10 metres by Leeds kept the contest alive, with Bridge's extras making it 24-16.
But time ran out and Wolves were left to rue one of their poorest half's of rugby in semi-final football in the Smith era.

Girls and boys are celebrating the 100th birthday of Scouting this year. Where better to hold a party than outside the British Prime Minister's home?
Downing Street is one of the most famous addresses in the world but that didn't stop 100 scouts moving in for the day to set up an adventure playground outside number 10.
Some people think of Scouting as being a bit old-fashioned, but millions of kids all over the world still think it's pretty cool because they get to have loads of different adventures.
Anyone passing Downing Street - which is in central London - on Tuesday would have had a glimpse of the sort of things they like to get up to.
There was trampolining.....
...an inflatable slide....
...bike stunts...
..and even a crazy climbing challenge.
Alex, 8, said Scouting wasn't just about having fun: "It's about having experiences you can't have if you're just an ordinary person. How many people do you know who can go outside Downing Street?"
There was an extra treat in store when Prime Minister Tony Blair came out to say hello and invited some of the Scouts inside for a spot of lunch.
...but he decided not to have a go on the climbing wall!
Alice, 8, said it had been a really special day.
Scouting is the UK's biggest educational youth group and started in 1907. There are 28m scouts worldwide and this is just the start of their birthday celebrations!

The Premier II program is making progress, with first flight occurring in mid-March. "The aircraft flew on March 13 and performed flawlessly," said a Haw- ker Beechcraft spokeswoman, "and completed all basic control and maneuverability checks expected during a typical first-flight envelope." Key differences between the Premier IA and the II include more powerful 3,000-pound-thrust Williams International FJ44-3AP engines and winglets. Maximum cruise speed will be 15 knots higher–465 knots at 33,000 feet– and the jet will be able to climb unrestricted to 45,000 feet and fly 1,500 nm with one pilot and four passengers. The new engines enable an increase in payload of 530 pounds and 300 nm more range. The Premier II was originally scheduled to enter service this year, but that has been pushed back to late 2012 or early 2013.
In the works: Hawker Beechcraft – Premier II

Economy adds 148,000 jobs; unemployment rate drops
The nation's job report for September suggests employers kept a lid on hiring as the government shutdown loomed, providing more optimism that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to scale back its monthly bond purchases aimed at boosting the economy.
The Labor Department said Tuesday that employers added 148,000 jobs last month, down from a revised 193,000 in August and lower than the 180,000 gain economists expected. The number shows that the job market continued to soften even as it faced fallout from budget wrangling that forced a 2½-week government shutdown and delayed the report.
Temporary layoffs of federal workers and government contractors will probably skew October's job gains. That means a clearer view of the job market may not emerge until the November jobs report is issued in December.
"I don't think this report makes much difference to the Fed," said Gus Faucher, senior economist at PNC Financial Services Group. "They are going to be much more interested in what the October and especially the November reports indicate."
To spur economic activity, the Fed has been buying $85 billion a month in bonds to keep long-term interest rates low. It has pledged to maintain that policy until unemployment falls to about 6.5 percent. The Labor Department reported unemployment inched down to 7.2 percent in September from 7.3 percent in August. By comparison, unemployment in the seven-county Pittsburgh region stood at 6.8 percent in August, according to most-recent data.
Average job growth has fallen sharply in the past three months after a promising start this year. The economy has added an average of 143,000 jobs a month from July through September. That's down from the 182,000 average gain from April through June and well below the 207,000-a-month pace from January through March.
Faucher said he did not think the employment picture would improve enough for the Fed to taper its bond buying until early 2014.
The number of unemployed people in the nation declined by 61,000 last month to 11.3 million, according to the government's survey of households, which determines the jobless rate.
Elise Gould, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute, said the decline in the jobless rate was "not a significant change" because more people should be employed.
The economy still has about 1.8 million jobs to add to catch up with job losses from the Great Recession, said Gould, calling the 148,000 jobs added last month "nowhere near what we need to recover." A healthy economic recovery should generate at least 240,000 jobs a month, according to the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council, a business policy advocacy group.
Gould estimates that September's employment rate would have been about 10 percent, if about 5 million people of working age were still part of the labor force. When people stop looking for a job, they are no longer counted as part of the labor force, artificially lowering the unemployment rate.
The labor force participation rate — the share of the working-age people with a job or actively looking for one — was unchanged at 63.2 percent, and remains the worst in 35 years.
The labor force did rise by 73,000 last month, however, which helped the jobless rate improve "for the right reason," Faucher said. It shows more people were working or actively looking for a job, "which means they feel the economy is improving and are a little more positive about their job prospects."
Employment gains were most encouraging in construction, which added a robust 20,000 jobs in September, the highest in seven months, said the government's survey of employers. The jobless rate for construction, especially hard-hit by the housing crisis, fell to a six-year low of 8.5 percent, according to the Associated General Contractors of America.
"I think we'll see consistent job growth for the rest of this year through 2014 as the housing market continues to improve" and retail and office construction picks up, Faucher said.
Professional and business services added 32,000 jobs; transportation and warehousing, 23,000 jobs; and wholesale trade, 16,000 jobs.
"Broad-based job gains in professional and business services indicates the economy is expanding," he said.
But health care added a mere 7,000 jobs, far below the average monthly gains of 19,000 since January and 27,000 in 2012. Faucher said health care providers might have pulled back on hiring out of caution before the rollout of the Affordable Care Act.
Manufacturing employment rose by only 2,000, or just enough to offset the jobs lost in July and August combined. Most manufacturing job gains this year have been in durables, such as steel and autos, while nondurables have shed jobs, said Alan Tonelson, a research fellow at the U.S. Business and Industry Council.
"It's clear manufacturing job creation has been flat-lining," he said.
The government revised August hiring upward to 193,000 from an initial 169,000. But it revised July data downward to 89,000 new jobs from 104,000.

The first phase of a long-term project to 'green' a historic walking route between Holbeck and the city centre is now under way.
The Green Corridor project will focus on the route from the centre of Holbeck, from St Matthew's Church, through Holbeck Urban Village and into the centre of Leeds. It will transform areas of derelict land into green spaces.
It involves a range of environmental improvements including the planting of plain and ornamental pear trees along Sweet Street and sowing wild flower meadows at five locations in and around Holbeck.
New lighting will also be introduced along part of the route, and overhead lighting will be installed in the Holbeck Viaduct tunnel.
Community three planting
People living in the area are also taking part in the project. An education activity day was recently held for pupils at Ingram Road Primary School in Holbeck at one of the first meadow sites, a demolition site at Brown Lane East.
The site is a short walk from the school and children and parents will walk by the meadow on the way to and from school. Children aged between seven and 11 took part in several sessions with the Green Estate Shire horse, Big Lad, to prepare the land and sow meadow flower seeds into the soil.
There are also plans for community tree planting, an evening walk and a community clean-up day in partnership with local groups such as The Cupboard Youth Group and Holbeck Elderly Aid.
The 'greening' work will also form part of this year's 'Holbeck in Bloom' event, which sees members of the community working together to produce a 'blooming' route including Shafton Lane Allotments, St Matthew's Community Centre, the 23 trees planted alongside Sweet Street, as well as the Green Corridor meadow sites, ready to enter the Yorkshire In Bloom competition 2011.
Beeston and Holbeck councillor Angela Gabriel said:
"The Green Corridor project will help reconnect the communities of Beeston and Holbeck to the city centre and Holbeck Urban Village.
"We hope that the 'greening' will help to transform the area so that residents and workers alike can enjoy the south side of the city. The meadows and trees will help to soften the physical barriers and reconnect Holbeck to the city centre and I hope that people will realise what a short walk it is from Holbeck into to the city, and that it will become a route which is both better used and enjoyed.
"The council has already invested to improve the main arteries which connect the area, with the transformation of Neville Street into a sound and art installation and a vibrant gateway into the city, the re-opening of Sweet Street and development of Holbeck Urban Village.
"This project is the next step to helping local people feel connected throughout the area not only physically, but socially as it will open up the route and provide a safer environment for people walking to and from the city centre."
Much of the first phase of the project has been funded by Section 106 money, a council fund that developers in the area pay into and which contributes towards the improvement of public spaces. The additional funds have been provided by Yorkshire Forward.
Holbeck Urban Village has appointed Green Estate, a Sheffield-based social enterprise company, to undertake the first phase of the Green Corridor landscape improvements.

text: Normally, I am the first to embrace the "P/E of Bristol Myers" argument. I say "normally," though, because all last week I said I was willing to miss the last couple percent of this rally because of the parabolic moves that so many stocks have made, and that I wanted to stay away from the almost-daily new highs and cycle into less elevated stocks. Still, I would be wrong to say I saw this one coming, and that's a real danger, because if you didn't see it coming it is hard to say, "OK, now this is what I have been waiting for." I was worried about a Fed-induced correction, and now if you buy Monday you have to be worried about a double-whammy come Wednesday. In other words, after the run we have seen in the market, we were due for a negative event, and I fear that event could be a one-two punch of both Cyprus and the Fed. Let's pull these two apart, though, and make some sense of them as distinct entities, and then overlay them on the charts that I studied this weekend. First, I think Cyprus has a rogue banking system. I don't like the idea of making smaller depositors pay anything, even though Cyprus had offered a juicy and unsustainable 5% interest rate on deposits, which meant that the whole banking system was like that of the hot-money-seeking savings-and-loans banks from the S&L bailout era. That's when the certificate of deposit rates varied widely, and the weaker banks paid through the nose to get deposits. Many of them ended up failing when that hot money departed. That's how the Cyprus banks look to me now. You would no more blow out of your own local bank because of that S&L crisis than you would take your money out of Santander ( SAN) because of Cyprus. We did see huge bank runs in Spain during May of last year, but that was forestalled by the government, and then later by the "by any means necessary" words from the European Central Bank's Mario Draghi.

Homemade liqueurs are the ultimate gifts that keep giving. They continue to mellow and improve over time, and always trigger fond memories of the gifter when the recipient takes a little post-prandial tipple.
I've been making whatevercellos for years now. Limoncello is the most famous, of course, made from large, pungent lemons from Italy's southern region, but almost any citrus will do. I prefer stronger fruit, and grapefruit is my favorite. (Pompelmo is Italian for grapefruit, hence my fauxtalian name for the liqueur.) Bergamots and citron also work very well; meyer lemons I find to be too mild in flavor. I prefer to grate the rind as opposed to just zest as I like a slightly bitter edge. I also dial down the sweetness of the syrup just a bit.

See the First Photos of Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen in Their 'Age of Ultron' Costumes
It was just last week that Marvel released concept art showing what its two new Avengers, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, would look like. Now we get to seem them in action, IRL. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen were photographed on the set of Avengers: Age of Ultron filming what looks like a battle scene.
As previously reported, Taylor-Johnson and Olsen play the brother-sister pair (they're twins, to be specific) of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. His power is that of super-speed and hers is the use of hexes to alter probability.
Click through the gallery to see them in action. What do you think? Do they look good? Does Quicksilver look kind of like Julian Assange in a wetsuit?

This Week in Bunting to Beat the Shift, 6/13
In April, I started a season-long series devoted to tracking bunts for base hits with the infield shift in effect; this is the ninth installment. To bring you up to speed on the series' premise and methodology will take but two brief excerpts. Excerpt one:
And excerpt two:
And now you're caught up. Today we'll cover the games of June 5–11; as always, the list of bunts comes courtesy of Inside Edge. I have five new bunts against the shift to show you, plus the latest research from Chris Mosch on how defenses are counter-adjusting to the threat of the bunt. Let's get started.
Date: 6/7
On an 0-0 count, Cabrera, a relatively prolific anti-shift bunter, attempts to drop one down but sends it foul.
The Rangers' defense didn't adjust, so on the very next pitch, Cabrera tried it again.
That's bad bunt, right back to the pitcher, but Cabrera gets points for persistence.
Date: 6/7
Not a great bunt, but Utley almost made it work. He's a smart player who likes to play the percentages, so it's surprising that he doesn't do this more often. Could it be because of one memorable time when he tried it, fouled the pitch off, and immediately afterward did something that must have made him very happy that he hadn't gotten the bunt down? Think back to Game One of the 2008 World Series:
Ever since then, maybe whenever Utley has considered bunting to beat a shift, his next thought has been, "But if I don't bunt, maybe I'll hit a home run that proves to be the game-winner in a World Series game!" See? Now it makes sense.
Date: 6/9
A catcher running, a great fielder fielding, and still the A's are powerless to prevent the single.
Date: 6/9
"We've all be waiting for Davis to drop one down the third-base line against the shift," Eduardo Encina wrote in The Baltimore Sun after Davis picked up this single. When he finally dropped one down, he looked like he'd been doing it for years. The umpires made the right call after reviewing the replay.
Things haven't gotten very well at the plate for Davis this season—thus far, he's been a big win for PECOTA, who projected him to a tee—and this successful bunt attempt might be a manifestation of his frustration.
Date: 6/9
Fielding bunts barehand is hard.
Season Totals
Bunt Attempts/Threats
To that effect, here's the latest list of threatened/attempted bunts from the past week that led to fouls or taken balls or strikes. Eventually, we'll have a large enough sample to say something about how often bunt attempts give birth to bunts.
After the (Bunted) Ball
Lucas Duda
Duda came to bat with the bases empty in just one other at-bat during this game, and he fell into an 0-2 hole before either broadcast showed Philadelphia's infield alignment. The Phillies acknowledged Duda's newfound bunting prowess the next day but didn't seem overly concerned. Prior to A.J. Burnett's first pitch to Duda, Jimmy Rollins is closer to the line, but still playing fairly deep…
Two weeks ago, I introduced the idea that some teams were going from playing nearly straightaway to using a full overshift once the count went to two strikes against certain pull-heavy lefties whom they deemed threats to bunt. This was inspired by the Orioles using a two-strike overshift numerous times against Michael Bourn and the Pirates doing it a couple of times against both Denard Span and Danny Espinosa. Last week, I found two new candidates, as the Orioles did this twice to Leonys Martin and the Yankees tried out the concept a few times against Coco Crisp.
Both announcers are taken back by what Inside Edge reports is the first full overshift ever used against Holt, with Remy saying, "Now with two strikes, they're going to play Holt to pull. They're going to put the infield in a shift. … It's kind of unusual because in most cases, hitters get very defensive with two strikes, or they should be. And a lot of times they slap the ball to the opposite field, but they're playing this just the opposite."
It's for this reason that I didn't immediately throw the "threat to bunt" label on Baltimore's rationalization to use a two-strike shift against Holt. However, after looking at the situation more closely, there are a couple reasons why I believe this is the case with Holt.
So it appears that Holt is fully capable of laying down a bunt for a hit and would probably do so with relative ease if he were given the whole left side of the infield to work with. Sure enough, the Orioles went back to the two-strike shift against Holt the next day.

text: Are the numbers in yet? I only know a few other Eleven Warriors members personally and they claim to visit the site a lot less since the changes (don't like the new format). I honestly like the original look and usability as well. Just wondered if the numbers/site traffic/posts and responses are up or down since the switch and compared to this time last year?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/6/2013 (1523 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG -- Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach Tim Burke said this morning he's more than willing to live with Thursday night's 52-0 exhibition thrashing by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats because it helped him accomplish one of his biggest goals of the CFL pre-season.
"I'm more concerned about us being healthy and fresh going into the first game against Montreal," Burke said, having just returned from Guelph, Ont., site of the one-sided loss in which the Bombers used nearly a full roster of only hopefuls, depth and bubble players.
"I don't think it'll leave a mental mark on our team because our starters were all left at home. They had nothing to do with it."
Burke said that examination of Thursday's events didn't leave any kind of hopeless feeling.
"I've watched the offensive film and I thought all three quarterbacks had some really good moments, particularly Justin Goltz," the coach said. "I thought he moved the team pretty well."
Goltz, too, was quick to write off Thursday's outcome.
"The pre-season doesn't determine where we'll be at the end of the season," he said, having played the entire first half on Thursday. "It has no (bearing) on how our playoff chances turn out, anything like that.
"At the same time, you'd like to take away positives, you'd like to see a lot more positives for the fan base and the organization and we didn't give them a lot to be hopeful about.
"Hopefully we'll turn things around in the next couple of weeks with our full team."
With Thursday's game video front and centre, Burke and staff will spend the next day or so making their roster decisions and starting the preparations for next Thursday's season-opener against Montreal at Investors Group Field.
"Some guys definitely aren't going to make it, we feel like there are guys that are going to make it and then we feel like there are guys right on the bubble and those are the guys we'll be talking about all day long in our meetings," the coach said.

A study reports that a reading teacher with little math background produced greater progress with her students in solving mathematical word problems than did a math teacher with little reading background. Richard Culyer (Coker College, South Carolina) suggests that teaching strategies common to reading can sometimes be used to improve student performance in mathematics.
Comprehension overlooked in later grades
Students must be able to recognize basic sight words in order to understand directions and deal with written math problems. This need is clear at the 1st and 2nd grade level but, perhaps, is overlooked in teaching older students.
Culyer recommends using index cards to study words which appear in math assignments. Where possible, words are taught by picture or diagram. Otherwise, simple sentences are used with the target word appearing near the end of the sentence so that the student can make use of content cues. Words should be presented several days before they appear in assignments.
Apart from knowing how to read words, students must understand what the specific math vocabulary means. Research shows that mathematics vocabulary is the most difficult of all content areas. Math vocabulary includes words specific to the study of math as well as words which have different meanings when used in a math context (such as set or product). Abbreviations and symbols need to be considered as vocabulary also.
Give strategies for solving word problems
In order to improve the students' strategies for attacking word problems, Culyer recommends a procedure similar to one used to check reading comprehension:
1. Read the entire problem twice.
2. Decide what the problem is asking for and in what form the answer must be expressed.
3. Estimate the answer.
4. Solve the problem showing all your steps.
5. Change the units if necessary.
6. Compare your answer with your estimate.
7. If the answer is very different, rework the problem without looking at your first attempt.
8. When the answer is satisfactory, label it.
In summary, there is a need to recognize that effective strategies in reading instruction can be appropriate for mathematics as well. Ensuring that children are able both to read words they encounter and to understand specific math vocabulary will increase their ability to comprehend directions, explanations and word problems, and will thereby improve their performance.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- On Wednesday, after the markets close, the financial world will learn the latest earnings news on a company that's received little fanfare.Cohen & Steers ( CNS) may deserve a place on our "watch list" for a number of reasons. Since its inception in 1986 the New York City-based firm operates as an investment manager in the United States, Japan and elsewhere internationally. It has offices in London, Brussels, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Seattle and serves institutional and individual investors around the world CNS focuses on global real estate securities, global-listed infrastructure, real assets, large-cap value stocks and preferred securities. It primarily manages institutional accounts, open-end mutual funds, and closed-end mutual funds. None of its ETFs seem to be that popular with investors. Yet, when you check out the CNS Web site you'll find the company knows a lot about REITs (real estate investment trusts). Also there, one of the company's officers, Executive V.P. Thomas Bohjalian, offers a great article titled "REITs: Building on Success," which is a must-read for serious investors.
The parent CNS also manages alternative investment strategies such as hedged real estate securities portfolios and private real estate strategies for qualified investors. In addition, it provides distribution services for its funds and advisory consulting services to model-based strategies accounts. The company also manages its sponsored open-end and closed-end mutual funds, U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, endowment funds, foundations, and sub-advised funds for other financial institutions. It has an impressive array of ways to make revenue flow and grow. Before looking at the analysts' projections for Wednesday's earnings and revenue numbers, take a look at one of the company's ETFs, the Cohen & Steers Global Realty Majors ETF ( GRI), which recently hit a 52-week high and, as of March 30, yields 6.68%. GRI has an appealing three-year average annual return of nearly 14%. If dividends were reinvested at that return rate, $10,000 would turn into $20,000 in a little over five years!

The 'Paper Doll' singer comes up with an idea to have 'people nominate their friends, and they go through a series of evaluations to determine if they're actually funny or not.'
John Mayer wants to pitch a new reality TV show. According to Us Weekly, the singer/songwriter who made no secret of his love for reality series has an idea for a show called "My Funny Friend" and wants celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain as a host.
"His concept is: Everyone things they have a buddy who's so hysterical, he or she should be in comedy," a source said. "So people nominate their friends, and they go through a series of evaluations to determine if they're actually funny or not."
He "thinks it has a great human-interest angle," the insider explained. "John says it's a show about 'dreams.' He's telling people, 'Think how much joy there is in seeing a friend happy!' "
Back in 2012, the Grammy winner told Ellen DeGeneres that he'd been watching "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" since "the Brad Womack year." "I don't even feel like it's my fault for liking it," he said. "It's not a guilty pleasure. It's designed to be a pleasure."

By Don Potter,
Editor-In-Chief of NewSeniors.com
I lived over a mile from the elementary school I attended from kindergarten through the eighth grade. During the '40s folks called it grammar school. Those years represented a happy and innocent time of my life, as I suspect they did for most pre-boomers.
The walk to and from school was an exciting time. We started out with the older kids, because they were supposed to watch out for us. But once we rounded the corner, each age group went their own way. I had several friends my age and we made the trip together. We never took the exact route twice, at least not in the same day. And that was a bit of a challenge, since we made the roundtrip twice each day: Because we had an hour and a half for lunch, everyone except those with working mothers went home at noon.
A typical day had us taking a shortcut up a few stairs and around the driveway of the house at the end of the block. We might climb a backyard wall at the next street and have to run like the dickens because an unfriendly dog was out in his backyard and didn't like intruders. Cutting across a vacant lot, we hoped to spy something of value but usually didn't, because this was one shortcut everyone seemed to take and anything worth having wouldn't be laying around for a band of boys to pick up.
After climbing up the lawn of the Presbyterian Church, we stepped over the rocks on the top of the stone wall surrounding the property until we were within a block of the school. If we didn't dally too much along the way, we stopped in the penny candy store and bought something when we had any money. Usually, we didn't have a cent between us, so we just looked in the glass cases and fantasized about what we liked best. Then it was off to the schoolyard to drop off our bags and play tag or catch until the bell rang. It's a wonder we weren't tired after such a busy journey, but we had no trouble repeating the routine three more times on any given day. The final trip of the day always took longer because there were sword fights, snowball throwing, having battles using pea shooters, and all kinds of other activities to engage in on the way home.
Going to school on trash pick up days always gave us the chance to look for things to recycle before anyone referred to it as that. Our parents called us scavengers. We thought of ourselves as treasure hunters. And each season of the year, there was something new for us to enjoy. In winter, the milk that wasn't homogenized would get so cold the cream would rise and pop through the paper top on the glass bottle. We'd snap off that cylindrical piece and share the best tasting Popsicle I ever had, before or since. Come spring, the pussy willows were out early and we'd gather some to take home and there were flowers to pick as it got warmer. The fall offered piles of leaves dotting the tree lined streets, and they were great fun to dive into.
There was so much more for a boy to enjoy on his way to school, which I did until about the fifth or sixth grade. Too bad these adventures can't happen today, but at least I can remember those days and share the experiences with my grandchildren after they get picked up at school or come home after a planned play day.

BY DONALD GILLILAND firstname.lastname@example.com
NEW YORK – The really big – and to some, surprising – shift in the electoral map last night was Pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes going to Donald Trump.
Here's my back-of-the-envelope analysis with three hours sleep:
It wasn't Philly and the collar counties. They turned out for Hillary Clinton in numbers roughly analogous to those Barack Obama garnered in 2012.
Trump won Pennsylvania by roughly 63,000 votes, and three-quarters of those votes can be attributed to shifts in four counties: Luzerne, Lackawanna and Northampton in the North East and Erie in the North West.
In other words: Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, Bethlehem and Erie – all former industrial powerhouses fallen on difficult times.
The remainder can be attributed it appears to enthusiastic turnout in traditionally red but less-populous counties.
Call it the revenge of the Rust Belt and Rural counties.
Luzerne is the big one: Obama took it by five points in 2012; Trump took it by 20.
Obama took Lackawanna by 27 points in 2012; Hillary retained it with only 3 points.
Erie went for Obama by 17 points in 2012; this year they went for Trump by 2.
Obama took Northampton by 4 in 2012; Trump won it by 5.
A lot of people are going to be talking about enthusiasm – particularly Clinton failing to perform as well as Obama in 2012. She didn't, but that's not the real story.
Clinton got 177,000 fewer votes than Obama in 2016, and yes, that's bigger than Trump's winning margin. BUT… Trump got nearly 207,000 more than Mitt Romney did in 2012.
That's the enthusiasm story.
Some people weren't as thrilled by Clinton, but many others were energized by Trump, particularly those who live in the Rust Belt and Rural areas.
That's a tectonic shift in Pennsylvania politics. But it seems to me it's also Trump specific, all top-of-ballot stuff: Democrats won all the state row office seats.
Multiple polls showed voters most interested in change and the fact Trump is not a politician. They responded enthusiastically to his promises to change Washington. What remains to be seen is how successful he'll be making good on those promises.
NOTE: This post has been updated from the original to reflect updated 2016 state totals and correct the spelling of Lackawanna.

Its crysis and refusal by the theorists and composers of the "modern music" (Arnold Schönberg, Igor Stravinski, Ferruccio Busoni and their fellowers) inaugurate a period of intense experimentation and research, lasting until today. Opposite to this loss of centre, Weber's attitude is twofold. From the one side he cannot accept it quietly, because of the danger of an irrationalistic decay, while, from the other, he recognizes in the modern music the signs of a deep distress, which pervades the "civilization" at all and not only single personalities. So in his Rational and sociological foundations of music Weber defends the key-principle and the tonal harmony, as a value that conveniently reflects the character and the historical dignity of Western culture and music. But at the same time he doesn't condemn the modern music as anarchical or degenerate, because of the rationalistic rigour, mastering the efforts of its conceivers.

The author discusses the dicothomy between sanctity-of-life and quality-of-life doctrines, in order to show that the opposition between the two perspectives is not altogether convincing. Seen in the light of the metamorphosis of the notion of life ( reconstructed here following Arendt's analysis of the Modern Age), this opposition proves to be the superficial manifestation of a deeper issue, which amounts to social reproduction's imperatives.

"Anyone who claims to be in this light while hating his brother is still in the dark." 1 John 2:9 (CJB)
When we think of sins, most think of the big ones such as murder, adultery, pornography, and drunkenness. Hatred towards our fellow man, in particular towards our brothers and sisters in Christ is a sin we often overlook. That is unfortunate given the Apostle John in 1 John 2:9 equates hatred towards another as akin to walking in darkness. Those who claim to be followers of Christ should not live in hatred towards others. Walking in the light in an attitude of love is incompatible with walking in darkness in an attitude of hate.
Given that one manner in which the world will know we are followers of Christ is by our demonstration of love for one another (John 13:35), to have an attitude of hatred is not in keeping with what God expects of His people. In order to understand what this hatred is all about, let's spend some time unpacking the short but powerfully important passage of 1 John 2:9.
The first half of this verse notes there are those who make the claim they are in the light. The Greek word translated as light in 1 John 2:9 is phōs. It has a variety of meanings all related to something giving off light. We find in Scripture those who walk in the light are the righteous. This begs the question as to what is the source of this light we are to walk in as God's people. Psalm 119:105 reminds us "Your word is a lamp for my foot and light on my path." In order to walk in the light, the follower of Christ must walk according to the precepts and instructions found in God's Word which is the light that shines on the path of life, determining for us how it is we should live.
We also find that all of God's commands found in His Word are rooted in loving God and loving others (Matthew 22:36-40; Mark 12:30-31). Loving God and loving others are behaviors that encapsulate all of God's commands to us throughout Scripture. This means to walk in the light is to walk in the truth of God's Word which commands us to walk in love towards God and others at all times. If we claim to walk in the light and if we claim to have Scripture as the light and foundation for our life, walking in love will be a hallmark of our life.
The Apostle John notes in 1 John 2:9 that walking in love is not always the case for most people. There are many who claim to walk in the light yet continue to hate their brother. John declares that hating your brother is not walking in the light but is rather walking in darkness. The Greek word translated as dark or darkness is scotia, meaning "the darkness due to want of light." It is often a metaphor used in Scripture to describe those who are ignorant of God's Word and His commands. This term is often specifically related to the wicked and those in bondage to sin.
Of further note is what is meant by the word hate. John uses the word miseō which means "to hate, pursue with hatred, detest." We can clearly see that such an attitude is one that is demonstrated by a pursuit of hatred, a continued attitude towards our brother rooted in detesting the very sight of them or even the sound of their name. This means hatred is an active problem and rears its ugly head in a number of ways in our lives each and every day.
As followers of Christ, we have been delivered from bondage through the shed blood of Christ. With that said, we still have to deal with the sin nature. One element of sin that continually entangles us is that of hatred. When we claim to walk in the light yet allow a root of hatred and bitterness to maintain its hold in our lives, we are not allowing the light of God's Word to penetrate the darkness that still remains and wants to still grab hold of us. In order to deal with the root of bitterness, we have to allow God's Word to sink into every fiber of our being. God's Word is "at work and is sharper than any double-edged sword — it cuts right through to where soul meets spirit and joints meet marrow, and it is quick to judge the inner reflections and attitudes of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12). When we walk in the light of God's Word, it will shine into those dark corners of our hearts, cutting through that root of bitterness and hatred.
Hate can be demonstrated in so many ways. We may think that hate is simply snippy words or a bad attitude or grinding your teeth and rolling your eyes when someone's name is mentioned. While those are certainly indications of hate, walking in a spirit of sinful hatred towards others is actually quite more. Glenn Barker aptly notes, "Whenever a brother has need and one does not help him, then one has despised and, in fact, hated his brother."[1] That reality certainly puts us all in the category of walking in a spirit of hate more often than we would like to admit.
Dealing with hate in our lives is a must. Walking in hate towards another, whether they are a brother or sister in the Lord or someone outside the household of faith is akin to walking in darkness. Walking in darkness is equated all throughout Scripture as sinful behavior. Thus hatred is sin and sin in all its insidious forms must be dealt with through the work of the Holy Spirit. When the light of God's Word permeates our hearts and minds, we can walk in the light which is love towards God and others. Being obedient to God's commands is the very definition of walking in love. John Calvin comments "the love of God teaches us to love men, and we also in reality prove our love to God by loving men at his command. However this may be, it remains always certain that love is the rule of life. And this ought to be the more carefully noticed, because all choose rather almost anything else than this one commandment of God."[2]
If you are struggling in this area, spend time in prayer and in passionate study of God's Word. Pray that the light of God's Word and His love would shine through in all areas of your life and in your dealings with others. Pray that God through the work of the Holy Spirit would uproot the sin of hatred in your life and that He would replace it with love and compassion.

Spider-Man, Scott Pilgrim and Witchblade Reenact Scenes from 'Star Wars'
It's the unofficial "Star Wars Day" and despite the fact that it stems from a horrific pun ("May the 4th be with you"), there's plenty of cultural significance as well given that every SW film from "A New Hope" in '77 to the CGI "The Clone Wars" in '08 have opened during the month. Unnecessary justification aside, there are plenty of ways to celebrate the holiday, including comedy site Jib Jab's new "Star Wars" movie generator that allows users to cast their own SW short by uploading fresh faces that are grafted onto modded movie footage.
We decided to gave Jib Jab's moviemaker a spin using a few disparate icons from around comics. Our casting call includes Japanese Spider-Man as Han Solo, Scott Pilgrim as Luke Skywalker, Witchblade as Princess Leia and Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury as Lando Calrissian. If anything, this crew proves the fundamental power of "The Empire Strikes Back's" storytelling (and reinforces the quality casting of the originals).
You can give our maddening video a view here, or just create your own. Either way, happy Star Wars Day![JibJab via Techcrunch]

SAYING thank you to its local supporters is the reason one Weymouth company has donated to the Echo Christmas Toy Appeal.
Family-run Fish 'N' Fritz, in Market Street, has given £100 to ensure that underprivileged children across Dorset will not have to go without on Chris-tmas Day.
Owner Paul Hall said: "We receive so much from our customers, old and young throughout the year.
"This is a way of showing our appreciation to the local community and giving something back to it.
"We really feel, as we always have, that £100 is such a small price to pay for something that does so much good in the local area.
"We try to give as much as we can to charity, particularly when it goes towards local children."
Paul added that he likes that the Echo Toy Appeal benefits children of all ages.
He said: "It doesn't matter how much you give, the money raised is going to give a merry Christmas to babies and teens alike."
The Echo is appealing for more businesses to donate to the appeal and ensure that every child who has signed up receives a gift this Christmas.
Paul said: "To make sure that there's a smile on a child's face on Christmas morning is an unbelievable feeling."
• THERE are just a few days left of the Echo Christmas Toy Appeal and we urgently need more generous donations to make sure no child goes without.
Toys can be donated at a number of locations across the county to ensure every child that has signed up receives a present this Christmas.
Echo promotions manager Debbie Hellaby said: "Businesses backing the appeal have been great and have boosted the appeal.
"Our thanks go to them and to anyone who has donated toys already.
"But we really need people to dig deep and donate toys just as soon as they can as time is running out and we will struggle otherwise.
"We want to make sure every child has a toy on Christmas Day."
Please only donate new, unwrapped gifts and please no cuddly toys.

Single Casks of fine non-filtered, non-coloured single malt whiskies are nowadays becoming rather hard to track down. Indeed, casks of some of the more celebrated and powerfully flavoured are becoming like hen's teeth to get hold of. But when you do manage to track down one of these rare masterpieces... wow! Then you know what you have been missing.
Blackadder has managed to source a supply of just such casks which we are bottling as Blackadder Smoking Islay. But to ensure our supply we have to be a bit secretive about exactly what is contained in each cask. Perhaps that's part of the fun in enjoying a glass or two of Smoking Islay - trying to guess what is in it! It's certainly very smoky and peaty and with a surprisingly long, sweet smoky finish.
If you love smoky, peaty Islays then this is for you! Please feel free to post your guesses about what is in your bottle of Smoking Islay on our comments page. Your views about our whiskies are always welcomed - good or bad.

Overton v Whitchurch.
Whitchurch only had a short distance to travel to Overton for their opening County 3 North game, however they returned defeated by the smallest of margins.
After losing a toss both captains were desperate to win, Tom Trinder's Whitchurch side were put into bat and immediately found runs hard to come by.
Ollie Williams was unlucky to be run out without scoring and was shortly followed on his debut by James Bevan, who was trapped LBW for 19.
With the veteran Richard Osmond joining Trinder at the crease, 'Church rebuilt and Osmond brought up his 50 with a six onto the Kingsclere Road, however a regular batting partner was hard to find. With the lower order chipping in, Osmond brought up his century with another boundary, and 'Church finished on an above par 195-8, with Osmond 104 not out.
Whitchurch set about restricting the home side and Bevan made the breakthrough with his first ball in the Hampshire League. Regular wickets fell, as the visitors were lead by Jim Hayward (3-27) and soon had the home side on the ropes. However a ninth wicket stand of 75 brought the home side back into the game, but it took until the penultimate ball for home skipper Andy Galvin to break 'Church hearts with the winning runs.
Whitchurch hope to bounce back, as Redlynch are the visitors to Parsonage Meadow this weekend.

Oscar Whisky already has a couple of Grade One wins from his days as a high-class hurdler but he was required to dig pretty deep in order to earn his first over fences in the Betfred TV Scilly Isles Novices' Chase at Sandown.
Lambourn trainer Nicky Henderson knew what he would be getting when he brought the nine-year-old down to Esher and conceded that many of his other leading names would not have been risked in what were particularly arduous conditions.
Oscar Whisky, though, whose previous three chasing starts had been at his second home of Cheltenham, was apparently in dire need of another outing before he takes up his only Festival entry in the JLT Novices' Chase.
Sent off the 1-6 favourite against just a couple of rivals, he was made to look a distinctly sloppy jumper by the slick Manyriverstocross, who put him under some pressure and Geraghty needed to chase his mount along to keep pace.
But Dai Walters' gelding, who has drawn a blank at the Festival so far, was good enough to land two Aintree Hurdles and managed to get the upper hand by the final fence to draw a slightly flattering nine lengths clear up the hill.
"It was hard work, we went very quick," said Geraghty.
"Choc (Robert Thornton, on Manyriverstocross) travelled brilliantly and was throwing on the coal from early and I was struggling a lot of the way.
"I always felt coming away from the Railway fences there was a little bit there when I needed it.
"He was good at the last, he was very quick, and that made the difference, I delayed my challenge a little bit as he'd been sluggish through the race, there was no point getting involved too early.
"Cheltenham will be totally different. He has coped with soft ground but in top company he's better on good to soft."William Hill eased Oscar Whisky to 10-1 from 8s for the Festival.
Clerk of the course Andrew Cooper had made a late decision to allow the meeting to take place and he was given deserving praise.
Henderson said: "It was hard work but it was always going to be, they've done well to race.
"He's a stuffy devil, and while I would never run Bobs Worth or My Tent Or Yours on this you've just got to keep this horse going.
"He kept taking blows all the way through and he looked big, but that race will have been good for him and we are very much on schedule for Cheltenham - he loves the two and a half miles round there."
