Reese/Hoover House
(MAP) 72 Cedar Avenue, Hershey Pa. 17033
*** 2003 Preservation Award Winner ***
Honored this year to receive the Derry Township Historical Society's Annual Preservation Award is a single family home on the corner of Cedar Avenue and Linden road. The home was built around 1940 by John and Grace Reese. John Reese was the President of H.B. Reese Candy Company until it was sold to Hershey Foods Corporation in 1963. The original home boasts an all brick exterior, oak hardwood flooring and gumwood doors and trim.
The home at 72 Cedar Avenue was sold to S. Keith and Ten (Reese) Hoover, granddaughter of John and Grace Reese in 1990. The home has been modernized with many remodeling projects since 1990. The recent addition, completed in 2001, includes a master bedroom and bath, large entertaining and dining area, walk-in pantry and mudroom on the first floor and a bedroom on the second floor. The project was in the planning stages for over two years before construction was started. Special attention was given to blending all aspects of the new project with the original architecture of the home.
A large patio and fountain, which have incorporated the original limestone wall and steps, complete the outside entertaining area at the rear of the home. Professionally designed landscaping adds the finishing touch to the entire property.

Marine steps up as next Afghan commander
The call came out of the blue. The defense secretary wanted to see Gen. Joseph Dunford Jr. that afternoon. Soon afterward, it was the president talking with him about taking command of all U.S. and international troops in Afghanistan.
Last week, the Senate confirmed Dunford as the next commander of NATO's International Security Assistance Force. He is expected to take over in February.
The four-star general had some experience dealing with Afghanistan but never served there. His job as assistant commandant was running the Marine Corps.
During his 35 years in the service, Dunford built a reputation as a quick study and steady hand, according to Marines who observed him in combat, during his many years assigned to Camp Pendleton or holding his own in "the tank" with the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Whether it was taking command of an infantry company while he was just a lieutenant, leading the invasion into Iraq when his regiment was summoned on short notice or taking on a three-star job before he had time to pin on his second star, Dunford often was called on to hit above his weight, according to interviews with eight active-duty or retired Marines who have known him for years.
They said Dunford's humble, hard-working demeanor, keen intellect and almost tribal sense of loyalty and duty are combined with an exacting but caring style of leadership. He is one of the most deeply respected and well-liked leaders in the Corps, with impeccable personal values and a deep understanding of the "joint world" of the armed services, they added.
Lt. Gen. John Toolan, head of the West Coast Marine force, has known Dunford since they were both infantry platoon commanders at Camp Pendleton in 1979. "There isn't a single person in or out of the Marine Corps that doesn't agree that he is among our best ever," Toolan said.
Dunford, 56, grew up in an Irish Catholic family in Boston, the son of a Marine veteran of the brutal Chosin Reservoir campaign of the Korean War who later became a cop. After graduating from a Jesuit high school and St. Michael's College in Vermont, Dunford was commissioned as a Marine officer in 1977.
In the post-Vietnam era, the Corps was often short on qualified officers, equipment and morale. Dunford was a standout, said retired Gen. Joseph Hoar, 77, of Del Mar. Hoar, a former head of U.S. Central Command, attended Boston College High School like Dunford and served as his first battalion commander.
Before Dunford became a captain, he was put in charge of a company from an infantry unit returning from Okinawa, Japan. Amid heavy personnel turnover, Dunford "worked very hard at it and, in not too long at all, really pulled that company together. He obviously had a great deal of leadership ability and showed that right from the start" through his focus and drive, Hoar recalled.
Lt. Gen. Thomas Waldhauser was Dunford's roommate in San Clemente when they were both lieutenants and bachelors. In one of many overlapping career moments for them, Waldhauser took command from Dunford in 2010 of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force headquartered at Camp Pendleton.
In the late '70s and '80s, "It was a different Marine Corps. There were a lot of leadership challenges," Waldhauser recalled, from drug use to funding shortfalls. "It took a lot of real initiative and fortitude and innovation just to be able to make things happen in those days."
But Dunford always found a way, Waldhauser said.
In 2003, Dunford was a colonel in charge of the 5th Marines. He worked all night to move his regiment and some 1,700 combat vehicles into the line of attack in Kuwait.
They expected to follow the lead units into Iraq a day or two later. Then-Maj. Gen. James Mattis, head of the 1st Marine Division, asked Dunford if he could be ready in 12 hours. No one expected he could do it, recalled a former member of Mattis' staff, but Dunford and his regiment were ready in nine hours and quickly secured the southern oil fields.
On the march to Baghdad, Dunford directed the attack by weaving in and out of his tanks amid small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades in a soft-skin Humvee with canvas doors. Later in the war when his vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb, he jumped out with the other troops, his pistol drawn.
In Iraq, those episodes inspired his nickname — "Fighting Joe Dunford."
During his Senate confirmation hearing, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., questioned Dunford sharply about whether he was prepared to lead the campaign in Afghanistan.
Neither of the previous two commanders, Gen. David Petraeus and Gen. John Allen, served in Afghanistan before they took the job.
"Our goals are within reach," Dunford told the Senate Armed Services Committee. "But I don't for a minute understate the challenges."
Dunford will step into the war during a particularly uncertain phase, with major decisions in flux on how quickly to draw down the remaining 68,000 U.S. troops, the extent of ongoing military and financial contributions from NATO allies and what will happen after the combat mission's scheduled end in 2014.
Fellow Marines said Dunford will bring a fresh perspective, a selfless willingness to burn the midnight oil and a grounding presence.
"He is calm, cool and collected. I never saw him get angry about anything. He is unflappable," said Col. Pat Looney, his former executive officer during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Dunford is also adept at juggling the political and the tactical, said Retired Col. Clarke Lethin: "He's your statesman general. He is the kind of individual who can deal in multiple worlds very effectively."
During his long career, Dunford has had to fire popular commanders and make other tough calls. Those who know him well said he would not flinch from delivering bad news to the president about prospects for ending the war. "If there is anyone I have ever known who was told to do something that just couldn't possibly be done, he would be the one to (say so)," said a senior Marine official who asked not to be named because Dunford avoids press coverage.
"He's not someone who is thinking of the biography that is going to be written of him later. He is thinking about what is the right thing for our country."
Dunford declined through his staff to comment before he starts his new job. With his low-key personality, Dunford is expected to be the "no drama" antidote after scandals or quick exits for his five predecessors.
"He is a very down-to-earth, businesslike individual. No frills, no fanfare. Let's just get the job done. That's the way he's always been," Waldhauser said. "It's not about him."
Sgt. Maj. Jim Booker went to war in Iraq with Dunford. "He's the real deal, instead of the phony stuff. Some people you hear great things about them and then you get to know them longer and you're less impressed. He is one of those people you meet and grow to respect him more," Booker said.
"All of us are just waiting for him to call up and say 'Hey, we need you to come over there with us.' We'd drop everything."

Cook the Book: 'Yucatán' by David Sterling
I've never traveled to Mexico—it's sad, but true. For years now, I have dreamed of hopping on a plane to Oaxaca to feast on moles or heading straight south from my California home to have Baja tacos in, well, Baja. But then I received a copy of David Sterling's encyclopedic new cookbook, Yucatán.
Sterling is the founder of Los Dos Cooking School in Mérida, the first culinary school in Mexico devoted entirely to Yucatecan cooking. He's a friend of Diana Kennedy, and she encouraged him to publish his impressive cookbook. Kennedy's seal of approval says plenty about the integrity of Sterling's approach to Yucatecan cuisine.
Yucatán is subtitled "a culinary expedition;" indeed, he delves deep into the history of the peninsula, filled with recipes from as far back as the pre-Columbian period, as well as dishes that are made and eaten today. (There is plenty of overlap, as I learned.) The abundant photographs and short essays on nearly every page, giving the book vibrancy and clear sense of place. Most of the recipes are barely adapted for modern American kitchens—yes, you're allowed to use a blender and a food processor, but you're also asked to make copious spice blends, smoke meats (maybe even in a pit), and cook with lots (and lots) of lard.
This is not to say that Yucatán isn't approachable. Many of Serling's recipes are simple one pot meals that will easily fit into most of our cooking routines. The more complex dishes aren't terribly challenging either, but they do require a time commitment. Save those for the weekend; you won't be sorry. Yucatecan cuisine is smoky, tangy, and bright. It's filled with just as many pickles and spicy enriched sauces as it is with hearty, rich meat dishes. There is an earthy, grounded nature to the food—nuts, seeds, and corn are as common as rice and beans. Sterling's adaptations of this food are all deeply, deeply satisfying.
We'll explore some of the Yucatán's best cuisine this week. First, we'll take a stab at steaming large tamales called brazo de reina and mix up a pumpkin seed-filled dip called sikil p'aak. Next, we'll simmer a pot of approachable pollo en bistec and then tackle the classic turkey dish, pavo en escabeche oriental. Finally, we'll end the week with rich papadzules—tortillas and eggs smothered in a magnificently green pumpkin seed and epazote sauce.
Win 'Yucatán'
Thanks to the nice folks over at University of Texas Press, we have five (5) copies of Yucatán to give away this week. All you need to do for a chance to win is to tell us about your dream culinary expedition in the comments section below.

No. 10 Illinois beats Norfolk St., improve to 11-0
Brandon Paul scored 14 points and D.J. Richardson overcame a shoulder injury to add 11 and help 10th-ranked Illinois hold off Norfolk State 64-54 on Tuesday night.
The Illini (11-0) were coming of a win at Gonzaga on Saturday that helped move them into the top 10. Illinois was shooting 46 percent from the field coming in but was just 35 percent (21 for 60) against the Spartans. The Illini were 6 for 23 (26 percent) on 3-pointers and 16 for 27 (59 percent) from the free-throw line.
Rashid Gaston scored 12 points and Pendarvis Williams added 11 for Norfolk State (6-6), which led for much of the first half.
Gaston had a chance to tie the score at 49 with just under eight minutes to play. The forward launched a turnaround jumper in the lane that found nothing but Sam McLaurin's outstretched hand and Illinois clung to its 2-point lead.
A minute later Richardson fired in a 3-pointer from the top of the key that put Illinois up 52-47. He finally secured the win with a layup that put the Illini up 56-51 with just under two minutes to play.
Richardson left the game late in the first half after a collision that sent him to the floor. He skipped second-half warm-ups after what the Illinois sports information director said was a badly bruised shoulder but came back early in the half. He played 13 minutes in the second half and scored 7 key points
The Illini opened a 10-point lead at 39-29 in the second half's opening minutes. Five of those points came on a 3-pointer and a short jumper from Tracy Abrams.
Abrams collided with Malcolm Hawkins in the final three minutes and, like Richardson earlier, limped off the court. He returned about a minute later but had what coach John Groce said was a bruised shin.
The Spartans led much of the first half after opening a 5-0 lead on two baskets by Williams.

Juno was released on DVD today, and as FourFour's Rich brilliantly points out, teenage heroine Angela Chase of My So-Called Life is the anti-Juno. While Juno reveled in her own quirkiness and established individuality — something that is rare, if not nonexistent among teens — Angela dealt with the desperation of "fitting in" and over-thinking every situation in an attempt to try to figure out who the hell she was. Her efforts led to introspective voiceovers that are as hilarious as they are wise: "I thought at least by age 15, I would have a love life. But I don't even have a like life" and "The thought that I might be seeing Jordan Catalano in a few hours was, like, impossible to comprehend. Like when they first tell you about infinity." "It's so weird that teachers actually, like, live places." Clip above.

Indiegogo, the popular crowdfunding site has posted a unique project. The patent-pending Zero Electric Air-conditioned (zeAC) is attempting to raise a flexible financial goal of $250,000 for funding the project which has the potential to revolutionize the conventional and established concepts of air-conditioning.
"We have researched and created a green air conditioning solution that can cool rooms without using electricity," says Anaele Iroh, the person who conceptualized the idea. "The device works by absorbing vapor from the air and brings down temperature by absorption of heat. The crowdfunding campaign for zeAC is currently live on Indiegogo."
The simple and user-friendly zeAC is easy to operate. It involves refilling the tank with water every morning. The system helps create a micro-climate of stable humidity and cool comfort, right through the day and night. The unique zeAC is ideal for use in room admeasuring 100 square feet.
The main component is a cylinder with micro-porous surfaces that can help control the climate. Water evaporates from these surfaces and helps cool down the air inside the room. The added benefit is that the plants absorb the harmful CO2 in the room and release fresh oxygen thus making the atmosphere inside the room healthy and enjoyable.
According to the team associated with developing this unique air conditioner, during the testing process of zeAC in Lagos, the device cooled down room temperature to around 27 degrees Celsius even as the temperature outside was around 35 degrees. With zeAC, users are unlikely to experience any temperature swinging or thermal discomfort.
The device has a heating element that keeps adding heat in small amount to ensure that the air con cylinder maintains a temperature of 36 degrees. This can help bring room temperature to a steady 24 degrees. In tests conducted in winter climate of -1 degree Celsius, the humidity was around 65 per cent according to the developers of zeAC.
The zeAC can be used with a large variety of plants including Peace Lily, Money Plant, Bamboo Palm and Mother-in-law's tongue. It also works well with popular trees like Peepal Tree, Rama Tulsi, Christmas Cactus, Aloe Vera, Snake Plant, Neem Tree, and Areca Palm.
According to the team of developers of the project, zeAC is 100 times more energy efficient, healthy and sustainable than conventional air conditioners. It can be used as an alternative to regular AC units and can be easily integrated with the décor and interiors of any room due to its small size and sleek appearance. The unit can enhance the appearance of any home or office when placed in a flower put accompanied by attractive and colorful flowers.
The crowdfunding campaign for zeAC is currently running at full swing on Indiegogo and has received a fair support so far.
About zeAC:
The all natural, zero electronic air conditioner has been developed by a team of Nigerians headed by the creator, Anaele Iroh. Other key members of the team are engineer Nsude Maduka, designer Octavian Rosu and campaigner, Pui-Ying Iroh. The green solution for air conditioning is running a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to raise fund for the project.

Been awhile since I posted anything on this forum, I've just kinda been lurking mainly. Anyway here's an update on the ferrets. I currently have 10 some you'll be familiar with, others you won't be so ill post pics of them so you know who's who.
My now oldest ferret is Margo, she's 8 years old and I rescued her a few weeks ago along with Fergie from a farm who had no clue how to look after ferrets properly. Margo was skinny and had irritating looking skin on her nipples so since I was in the middle of a food transition with all my others (switched them all to raw and whole prey now) I thought I'd get her on the new diet right away because she has only half her teeth so finds it difficult to eat the kibble she was on, she's been eating plenty of the new diet and is slowly starting to gain weight now and has grown a beautiful winter coat, it's so soft and glossy too!
Attachment 1387
Then there's Nancy who's been with me since before I was on this forum, she's the 4 year old albino that's half deaf
Attachment 1388
Jimmy is my other albino, he's also been with me since before I was on this forum too. He's my biggest ferret and is the best one to hunt with, he loves it!
Attachment 1389
And Willow you should be familiar with if you've been on the forum for awhile as she's another that I've had since I was first on the forum, I've had her the longest out of all of these, she's the same age a Jimmy, 3.
Attachment 1390
She is the alpha ferret now too!
This is Fergie the other girl I rescued when I rescued Margo. Fergie bites out of fear as she was either abused before I got her or simply not handled enough, whichever it is, she doesn't trust people and is only just warming up to me. She's stopped hiding from me now and will come up to me for a fuss but still bites but not as bad as she did when I first got her a few weeks ago. I think in another couple of months she'll be fully tame or at least fully trusting in me at least.
Attachment 1391
This big silver blaze boy is Watson, he is from another breeder local to me but uses completely unrelated lines to me so his ferrets are compatible with mine
Attachment 1392
I also have Watson's sister Smokii too, she's a silver mitt and I swear she has too much energy as she never sits still. I'm surprised this photo of her isn't blurred to be honest!
Attachment 1393
Next is a really tiny girl that I got from a friend after she rescued her from a bad backyard breeder, her breeder was going to kill her due to her small size but luckily Alison took her and then gave her to me and yes she hasn't grown much but she thriving and is a happy healthy tiny girl :)
Attachment 1394
This is Sherlock, if you've looked on another thread of mine you'll know who he is, he's Willow's son. Not so small anymore now is he
Attachment 1395
And the youngest furbaby if mine is Scylla who is Jimmy's daughter, and her mum died when she was just 3 weeks old so she's lucky that Willow had babies at the time as I don't think she'd be here if it wasn't for Willow taking care of her at the young age she was when her mother Bandit died...... She's grown up to be one of the loveliest ferrets I've ever known :)

Transfer Appliance use case
Data Collection
Many organizations rely on data in order to conduct their business, collecting significant amounts of geographic, environmental medical or financial data for analysis. If you need to transfer data from researchers, vendors or other sites to Google Cloud, Transfer Appliance can move that data for you. Once transferred to Google Cloud Storage or BigQuery your data is accessible via our Google Cloud Dataflow processing service for machine learning projects. Google Cloud Machine Learning Engine is a managed service that enables you to easily build machine learning models, that work on any type of data, of any size.
Data Replication
Many Google Cloud customers are looking to take advantage of hybrid architectures, supporting current operations with existing on-premises infrastructure but experimenting with the cloud. By transferring a copy of your data to Google Cloud you can decommission duplicate datasets, test cloud infrastructure and expose your data to machine learning and analysis.
Data Migration
Offline data transfer is suited for moving large amounts of existing backup images and archives to ultra low-cost, highly-durable and highly available archival storage offered through Google's Nearline and Coldline storage classes. For other structured and unstructured data sets, whether they are small and frequently accessed or huge and rarely referenced, Google offers solutions like Google Cloud Storage, BigQuery or Dataproc to store and analyze that data.
Simple data transfers at enterprise scale
- Fast
- Moving large amounts of data securely with Transfer Appliance can be significantly faster than uploading that data over the network. You can move up to a petabyte of data on a single Transfer Appliance more than 1000 days faster than with a 100Mbps connection.
- Scalable
- Capture up to a petabyte of data on one Transfer Appliance. Or use multiple appliances to transfer more data. All without impacting your outbound network.
- Familiar
- The Transfer Appliance is easily mounted into open rackspace in your datacenter and can be mounted as Network Attached Storage (NAS). A simple user interface will guide you through local data capture, and your Google Cloud Platform console will guide you through decryption and ingestion.
- Secure
- We use tamper-evident seals on shipping cases to and from your data ingest site.

You want to know what is the best place to live. With the Life Quality Index, or LQI, we make it a lot easier to decide which place is better to live.
The LQI is calculated by combining all our data on transportation, safety, health, affordability, entertainment, demographics, leisure and other essentials for everyday life. All our data comes from very reliable sources, like the MTA, NYPD, Google, Socrata, Foursquare and the U.S. Census to offer you the best information to find the right place to live.
You want to be free to go wherever you want, when you want. So in our LQI we use all the available data on public transport, taxi services, parking places and the distance to the city center or the next borough when calculating the livability of a place.
Life is all about the small things, so if you have everything you need nearby, then that is a great plus! When we calculate the Daily Life for the LQI, we take everything into account. Ranging from the distance to the nearest convenience stores and places of worship to Wi-Fi Hotspots and financial services.
You want to feel safe in your new home, so in the LQI you will be able to find all our data on crime levels and the nearest police and fire stations for that particular place.
Health is important to us all. In the LQI we include everything related to your well-being: the proximity to health and medical facilities, but also pollution levels, the proximity you live to busy truck routes or factories, and even the number of noise complaints.
When you have time off, you want to relax and have fun. So the closer to sport facilities, beauty salons and spas, running tracks and interesting places, the better.
Let's face it, what would life be without restaurants, bars, cafes, museums and other entertainment venues? That's why we include it in our LQI.
We use data on demographics to calculate our Life Quality Index. We all want to feel welcome in our community and at home in our neighborhood. Things like average income, education levels, and poverty index are all taken into account to create the LQI.
Place I Live is a functional tool for helping people get more insight about neighborhoods. The map and Life Quality Index ratings can give a better overview including information about safety, transportation and more.

Matt Cooke faces suspension for kneeing Tyson Barrie
Minnesota Wild forward Matt Cooke's knee-on-knee hit will cost the Colorado Avalanche the services of key defenseman Tyson Barrie for several rounds of the playoffs.
Now, the league is looking at suspending Cooke for the rest of the first round and beyond.
The NHL's department of player safety says that Cooke will have a hearing in New York on Wednesday afternoon. A player is offered an in-person hearing if he faces the possibility of being suspended for six games or more.
Barrie grabbed his knee after spilling to the ice and was unable to put any pressure on his left leg as he went straight to the dressing room on Monday. Avalanche coach Patrick Roy told reporters after the game that Barrie has a sprained medial collateral ligament and will miss four to six weeks.
Cooke received a two-minute penalty for kneeing on the play. The in-person hearing doesn't necessarily mean six games or more. Cody McLeod and Maxim Lapierre each got five games after personal meetings, but it's clear that Cooke will sit for a while.
Cooke has been in trouble with the league before, but not during the past three years because he had worked to change the way he approaches hits.
Though he still plays a rugged game, he hadn't been suspended since he got 10 regular-season games and the first round of the playoffs for elbowing New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh in 2011.
However, Raffi Torres also had changed his ways after being suspended for 21 games by the league during the 2012 playoffs, but the league suspended him for the remainder of the second round in the 2013 playoffs for a head shot. The San Jose Sharks were eliminated in Game 7, making the suspension a six-game one.
Cooke had his knee extended as he approached Barrie. The previous kneeing suspensions handed out by the department of player safety, then under Brendan Shanahan, were two games to Taylor Hall and four to Kevin Porter. David Booth suffered a serious injury on the Porter hit.
Stephane Quintal, who replaced Shanahan after he joined the Toronto Maple Leafs' front office this month, is handling suspensions for the remainder of this season.
The Avalanche, who lost 1-0 in overtime on Monday and lead the series 2-1, will be hurting without Barrie. He had a breakout season with 13 goals and had two assists and averaged 23:49 in Colorado's first two playoff wins.

The Queen of Soul is back home in time for the holidays.
Aretha Franklin left the hospital Sunday and is looking forward to seeing a play about musician Sam Cooke in downtown Detroit and an upcoming Dreamgirls performance, the "Respect" singer said on Wednesday.
"My family and friends who brought me home are taking great care of me," Franklin said in a statement to news outlets. "I also have a private nurse who visits on a daily basis."
U.S. & World
Franklin underwent what she called "highly successful" surgery on Dec. 2, after earlier announcing she'd cleared her schedule through May on doctor's orders.
While the soul legend and her representatives have been mum on what ails her, the Detroit Free Press and a handful of other news outlets have reported the 68-year-old singer has pancreatic cancer, citing anonymous sources.
There were no developments on that front on Wednesday.
"The Queen of Soul is in great spirits and very happy to be home where she will be resting in anticipation of spending the upcoming holiday season with her family," Franklin's rep added in the singer's statement.

Kansas jail escapee gets 11 years added to sentence
Alberto Barraza-Lujan fled Ottawa County Jail last year
The third of four inmates who escaped in April 2012 from a north-central Kansas jail was sentenced to 11 more years in prison.
The Kansas Attorney General's Office says 24-year-old Alberto Barraza-Lujan was sentenced Tuesday for aggravated escape from custody. He'll serve the sentence after finishing a sentence of 11 years and four months for previous convictions.
Barraza-Lujan and three others escaped from the Ottawa County jail in Minneapolis. They were being housed at the county jail to relieve overcrowding at the state prison.
Barraza-Lujan was serving time for attempted aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer in 2011. He was recaptured in Ottawa County shortly after the escape.
Two other defendants have been sentenced and the third is awaiting sentencing.

JAWS and the 2013 Hall of Fame ballot: Bernie Williams
Bernie Williams would be the fourth Yankees centerfielder in the Hall of Fame, joining Earle Combs, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle. (John Iacono/SI)
The following article is part of my ongoing look at the candidates on the BBWAA 2013 Hall of Fame ballot. For a detailed introduction to JAWS, please see here.
The turn-of-the-millennium dynasty in the Bronx began with Bernie Williams. As the Yankees emerged from a barren stretch of 13 seasons without a trip to the playoffs from 1982 to 1994, and a particularly abysmal stretch of four straight losing seasons from 1989 to 1992, their young switch-hitting centerfielder stood as a symbol for the franchise's resurgence. For too long, the Yankees had drafted poorly, traded away their homegrown talent for veterans, and signed pricey free agents to fill the gaps as part of George Steinbrenner's win-now directive.
With Steinbrenner banned by commissioner Fay Vincent in 1990, the Yankees' day-to-day baseball operations were put in the hands of general manager Gene Michael, allowing promising youngsters to develop unimpeded. Williams, who was signed out of Puerto Rico as a 17-year-old in 1985, reached the Yankees in July 1991, but split his first two seasons between the minors and majors.
When Michael traded centerfielder Roberto Kelly to the Reds for Paul O'Neill in November 1992 — a steal of a trade on its own merits, as it turned out — centerfield was freed up, and although Williams was not yet a finished product, he would eventually emerge as a key force in helping the Yankees recapture their glory.
Bernie Williams
Avg HOF CF
Williams put himself on the prospect map with a .335/.449/.487 season in the A-level Carolina League at age 19 in 1988, and when he held his own at Double-A Albany-Colonie the following year, he cracked Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects list at number 77. He struggled at Triple-A late in the season, however, and the Yankees sent him back to Double-A the next year, but he rose to number 11 on BA's list for 1991, and debuted in the majors on July 7 of that year, the last game before the All-Star break.
Williams hit just .238/.336/.350, and in the words of the New York Times' Buster Olney was "a natural target, bespectacled, awkward socially, quiet and introverted." Veteran outfielder and future convicted sex offender Mel Hall took aim at the rookie, taping "Mr. Zero" to the top of Williams' locker and interrupting him with "Zero, shut up," every time he tried to speak. Michael warned Hall that he would be traded or released if he didn't cease.
Hall departed for Japan and his eventual ignominy after the season, while Williams played just two games with the Yankees in April 1992 before being sent back to Triple-A until August. He secured his claim on the centerfield job with a .280/.354/.406 showing accompanied by solid defense over the season's final two months, then hit .268/.333/.400 in a full 1993 season with the Yankees who finished 88-74, their first winning season since 1988.
During the strike-shortened 1994 season, both he and the Yankees took steps forward; Williams batted .289/.384/.453 and finished with more walks than strikeouts for the first of five times in his career, and the team went an AL-best 70-43 before the players walked out in early August. He hit .307/.392/.487 with 18 homers in 1995 while helping the Yankees claim the AL wild card, including .359/.445/.536 from Aug. 1 onward, and stayed hot in the playoffs, hitting a searing .429/.571/.810 with a pair of homers — the first of 22 he would collect in October — in the team's five-game loss to the Mariners.
Building on that great finish, Williams blossomed into a star in 1996, hitting .305/.391/.535 with 29 homers and 17 steals, good for 6.1 WAR. Bolstered by the emergence of a few other homegrown players — Jeter, Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera — and led by new manager Joe Torre, the Yankees went on to win their first World Series since 1978. Williams was on fire for the first two rounds of the playoffs, hitting a combined 471/.548/1.000 with five homers, including a walkoff in Game 1 of the ALCS against the Orioles (the Jeffrey Maier game); he earned ALCS MVP honors.
The 1995 season was the first of eight straight in which Williams would post a True Average — a measure of a hitter's runs produced per plate appearance, adjusted for park and league scoring levels and expressed on a batting average scale — of .295 or better, the last seven of which were above .300. He hit a combined .321/.406/.531 during that eight-year period while averaging 4.9 WAR per season; his 39.5 WAR ranked 11th among position players during that span.
He earned All-Star honors from 1997-2001, Gold Gloves from 1997-2000 (though his defense was actually well into the red according to multiple metrics) and the 1998 AL batting title, with a .339 average. He received down-ballot MVP support in six of those seasons, though he never finished higher than seventh. The Yankees won five pennants (1996, 1998-2001) and four titles during that stretch. Following the 1998 season, Williams nearly defected to the Red Sox; only after a face-to-face meeting with Steinbrenner did the Yankees increase their offer from five years and $60 million (essentially what they were offering to Albert Belle at the time) to seven years and $87.5 million.
The Yankees won another pennant in 2003, but the 34-year-old Williams went into decline, hitting just .263/.367/.411 and missing a quarter of the season due to surgery to repair a meniscus; Hideki Matsui covered centerfield in his absence. Concerned about his flagging defense, the Yankees brought in free agent (and 2013 ballot-mate) Kenny Lofton the following season, and Williams spent 50 games as the team's DH. It didn't help his flagging bat; though his 22 homers were his most since 2001, his .262/.360/.435 made it clear that his skills were waning.
In 2005, he was again displaced by Matsui, this time as part of a shuffle that brought Robinson Cano up from the minors and sent Tony Womack to leftfield. The Yankees also tried Womack, rookie Bubba Crosby and a very green Melky Cabrera in center at various points before conceding that Williams was their best option; even so, his .249/.321/.367 suggested he was done. In January 2006, the Yankees signed free agent Johnny Damon, and bumped Williams — by then earning a base salary of $1.5 million plus incentives following the expiration of his big contract — to rightfield for the bulk of his playing time. Just prior to the July 31 deadline, they snared Bobby Abreu from the Phillies, turning Williams into a part-timer for the remainder of his days.
Williams, who turned 38 in September 2006, couldn't bring himself to officially retire, but wouldn't listen to overtures from teams besides the Yankees, who made it fairly clear they had no spot for him. A classically trained guitarist, he pursued a musical career, and stayed in shape long enough to participate in the 2009 World Baseball Classic for Puerto Rico. It would take him until February 2011 to acknowledge that his playing career was complete.
For as strong as his prime was, Williams winds up with the same JAWS score as Dale Murphy, albeit with a lower peak but a higher career value. Like Murphy, he had an outstanding, extended stretch of excellence bookended by mediocrity or worse; from 2003 onward, Williams hit a combined .263/.346/.412, and never embraced the types of roles — backing up first base and pinch-hitting — that can keep an aging player around long past his prime.
Williams was actually a full win below replacement (-1.0 WAR) during that stretch thanks to horrendous defense according to multiple metrics. In terms of Defensive Runs Saved, which is used in Baseball-Reference.com's version of WAR from 2003 onward: 17 runs below average in 2003, 20 below in 2004, 26 below in 2005, 11 below in 2006. That's 74 runs below average via DRS, about halfway between a more charitable −53 during that span via Total Zone (and −118 for his career) and a more brutal −93 via Ultimate Zone Rating. Baseball Prospectus' Fielding Runs Above Average puts him at just −15 for that 2003-2006 stretch, an outlier relative to the other three, and even there he came up 11.3 JAWS points shy in last year's evaluation of his candidacy.
Williams does have something beyond WAR going for him. His .275/.371/.480 line in 545 postseason plate appearances was quite good, essentially replicating his regular season performance against even tougher competition. Helped by the introduction of the three-round playoff system in 1995, he's all over the postseason leaderboard: first in RBIs, second in plate appearances, runs, hits, doubles, total bases and homers — behind Jeter in all but the latter category, where he trails Manny Ramirez. But even while crediting him for being an up-the-middle starter on pennant-winning teams, and for winning four Gold Gloves in years where he actually provided negative defensive value , his Hall of Fame Monitor score of 134 is hardly off the charts, and he never really made a dent in the MVP voting.
Ultimately, Bernie Williams doesn't have enough to justify a vote for the Hall of Fame, and after receiving just 9.6 percent of the vote last year, he's likely to fall off amid a larger crowd of qualified candidates. That may seem like a harsh judgment, but it does nothing to detract from his role as a crucial part of the Yankees' dynasty who will always be revered in the Bronx.

I attended my first Presbyterian service on Saturday night. Of which branch or denomination of the Presbyterian Church I attended, I am not sure. At the end of the service, the pastor asked the congregation to recite "The Apostles Creed." It sounded great until the part about believing in the Holy Catholic Church. Why was this in the passage? I don't understand. I appreciate any help you can give me.
Thank you for your question. Relax. The Apostles' Creed refers to "the holy catholic church" (notice "catholic" spelled with a small "c"). That is different from the Roman Catholic Church (notice the capital "C"), which claims to be the only true church since it claims a direct descent of popes from the Apostle Peter to the present pope.
Of course, their claim is not historical. But this ancient ecumenical creed (the Apostles' Creed) uses "catholic" in its original Greek meaning -- "according to the whole." The meaning of that phrase in The Apostles' Creed is "the true body of believers over all the earth." Similarly, the Nicene Creed confesses "one holy catholic and apostolic church," which is far better. And that creed was written before what is now called the Roman Catholic Church, though not by the apostles themselves.
And Presbyterians, along with many other Protestant churches, have the biblical understanding of succession. I am an Orthodox Presbyterian minister. My ministerial credentials do not depend on ordination on a long chain of ministers leading back the apostles, or as I like to say with tongue in cheek, "laying fat fingers on bald heads."
The catholicity of historical Protestant claims depends on adherence to apostolic doctrine. And that apostolic doctrine is found in the Word of God, especially the New Testament Scriptures which claim Holy Spirit inspiration and infallibility. That does not mean that we downplay the Old Testament, since those Scriptures prepare for the coming of Christ, the Messiah, and the New Testament reveals Christ come and the establishment of the present order. The New Testament was written either by Christ's apostles or those associated with the original apostles, making the Bible from Genesis to Revelation the Word of God. And "catholic" is a good word, in spite of the fact that the Roman Catholics have usurped it to support their doctrine of salvation by works.
Just another word of difference between Protestants and the Church of Rome. Protestantism holds Scripture to be supreme over the church. Even to join the church, and as well to become a minister, I had to affirm the Bible to be "the Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice." Rome places the Church (particularly the Pope and his Cardinals) to be over the Bible, that is, whatever the Bible says, the Church, through its councils and the Papacy, give the correct and only true interpretation of the Bible.
That was a long answer. But sometimes one word needs a long interpretation. I hope you have the answer that quiets your mind as to "the holy catholic church." Please feel free to come back with further questions.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

Bill Finger Award Recipients Announced
Bill Finger (1914-1974) is an unsung hero of comics. Finger is the uncredited co-creator of Batman and placed his mark on numerous other DC Comics characters, including the Golden Age Green Lantern, Wildcat, Superboy, and Challengers of the Unknown.
The Bill Finger Award for Excellence in Comic Book Writing honors the memory of the writer. The award was instituted in 2005 at the instigation of comic book legend Jerry Robinson. Each year, the awards committee selects two recipients, one living and one deceased. This year's recipients are Steve Gerber and Don Rosa.
"The premise of this award is to recognize writers for a body of work that has not received its rightful reward and/or recognition," Evanier explains. "That was what Jerry Robinson intended as his way of remembering his friend, Bill Finger. Bill is still kind of the industry poster boy for writers not receiving proper reward or recognition." Evanier also notes the appropriateness of this year's selections: "Steve Gerber was one of the most influential writers of his day, and his work has stood the rest of time. Don Rosa is now retired from producing his acclaimed work with Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge. He also drew the comics, but we honor him for the excellence of his stories, which will forever be reprinted around the world. Also, we liked the idea of having an 'all-duck' Finger ceremony."
Steve Gerber got his start in fanzines, worked in advertising, and then found his way to comics in 1972 when he was hired by Roy Thomas for a staff job at Marvel. Gerber wasn't suited for staff work, but by the time Marvel realized that, they'd discovered the value of his quirky imagination as a writer. Before long, he was distinguishing himself with scripts for, among others, Daredevil, The Defenders, Sub-Mariner. and Man-Thing. It was in the Man-Thing feature that he developed his most popular, lasting character, Howard the Duck. Somewhat autobiographical and wildly popular when written by Gerber, Howard was a unique presence in the Marvel Universe that is fondly remembered by many fans of the era. They also hailed Omega the Unknown, which Gerber wrote and co-created with Mary Skrenes. He parted ways with Marvel over a contract dispute in 1978, though he would return later. Thereafter, he worked for DC and Eclipse and in TV animation, story-editing and writing shows including Thundarr the Barbarian, G.I. Joe, and The Transformers. Gerber died in 2008 from pulmonary fibrosis.
Don Rosa also got his start in fanzines, with "The Pertwillaby Papers," a comic strip for his college newspaper in Kentucky. An avid collector of comics, he chose for a time to write and draw as a hobby and to make his livelihood in his family's tile business. In 1986, though, he had the opportunity to write and draw stories of Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge, his favorite characters when in the hands of the legendary Carl Barks. His meticulous, carefully researched work caught on big, at first in America and then overseas, where he was hailed for expanding on the foundation laid by Barks. Particularly popular was a 12-part series he began in 1991, "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck," which filled in many details of the character's past. That series, along with Rosa's other tales, has been reprinted around the world as much as any comic book of the last quarter-century. Rosa has now retired from creating new stories, due to failing eyesight and disputes with his publisher over compensation.
In addition to Evanier, the selection committee consists of Charles Kochman (executive editor at Harry N. Abrams, book publisher), comic book writer Kurt Busiek, artist/historian Jim Amash, and writer/editor Marv Wolfman.
The 2013 awards are being underwritten by DC Comics (the major sponsor), along with supporting sponsors Heritage Auctions and Maggie Thompson.
The Finger Award falls under the auspices of Comic-Con International: San Diego and is administered by Jackie Estrada. The awards will be presented during the Eisner Awards ceremony at Comic-Con on July 19.

Philosophers of science have moved away from the belief that science brings us absolute truth. Three models for the relationship between science and religion are described. The third model takes both sicence and the Bible as valid sources of truth." ...heart and intellect must bow before the great I AM" (SC 110).
A statement from the Geoscience Research Institute, based at Loma Linda University, affirming evidence of intentional design in nature and the Bible's account of creation in six days.
Final report of the organizing committee of the Faith and Science Conferences to the Annual Council (2004).
This lecture was the keynote address at the North American Division Faith and Science Conference, 2003. It is a theological reflection from an Adventist perspective on the interaction of faith and science; its benefits and dangers.
Here is the summary of a book which shows respect for both science and religion. The book demonstrates that the two disciplines can be mutually enriching. Issues in biology and paleontology are discussed in connection with the biblical account of origins.
How can the origin of life be explained without a creator or intelligent designer? Is the spontaneous formation of a living cell under proper conditions inevitable?
Seventh-day Adventists have always taught that God created the world in six days. In recent years, however, theistic evolutiion has gained entrance into the church. The article traces the history of these developments and the church's response to it.
When we discuss creation we normally turn to Gen 1 & 2. This article shows that the New Testament contributes a lot to the creation debate and contains fresh insights that supplement the Old Testament understanding of this doctrine.
The creation account in Genesis 1 raises issues of serious theological and scientific interest. Is the 'earth' in Gen 1:1 the same as the 'earth' in Gen 1:2? What is the deep that was covered with darkness, and how should we understand the relation between the light in Gen 1:3 and the subsequent creation of the heavenly bodies in Gen 1:14ff? Did the Bible writers really believe that the firmament was a solid vault? These issues are discussed in this article.
Darwinism is commonly presented as if it is supported by abundant empirical evidence while evidence is lacking that life resulted from a process involving more than natural laws and chance. Although denied by Ayala design in nature is well supported by evidence and while belief in the creation does not provide all the answers, it does provide some very good ones.

Yesterday, I saw the most amazing videos. These are called Mandelbulb videos, and half the fun of watching them is understanding the science and mathematics behind them. If you don't want to learn how these are made, you can skip to the end of this article.
What is a Mandelbulb?
It's a type of mathematical entity that's based on ideas behind Fractals which were discovered in the 17th century. Fractal mathematics describe geometric patterns that repeat at ever smaller scales to produce irregular shapes and surfaces that cannot be represented by classical geometry. Fractal patterns are often seen in nature, such as in snowflakes. Here's an example of a Von Koch curve, which is one of the simplest forms of a fractal.
When a fractal shape is calculated, it is calculated in steps, or iterations. You can see the shape change, above, as it goes through each iteration.
Here's another example of a complex fractal which was generated by the GoogleLabs JuliaMap Generator.
If you follow that link to Google Labs, your web browser will generate a fractal. One of the unique properties of fractals are that you can zoom in on the patterns and see even smaller but very similar patterns.
Over the years, many mathematicians have tried to determine the formulas for true 3D fractals. Finally, in 2007, an amateur fractal image maker, Daniel White, came up with some formulas that seem to generate these 3D fractal shapes. Daniel started his work by using one of the most famous fractal types, called the Mandelbrot set. The resulting shapes are called Mandelbulbs.
A couple of months later, some software hackers and fractal enthusiasts got together to work on software to render Mandelbulbs on computers. The Mandelbulber Project has been a success, and as you'll see below, it's also resulted in some very fantastic images and videos.
Here's a screenshot of what the software looks like, running on a Linux PC. The software is Open Source, completely free to download and also runs on Windows PCs.
Here are a few screen-shots of Mandelbulber's artificial worlds.
Finally, we have reached the video. As you'll see, Mandelbulber can create entire virtual worlds that can be explored. In fact, it can create an infinity of different worlds and some of them are almost scary in their complexity.
Video: Trip to center of hybrid fractal
Here are more Mandelbulb videos from XLACE. It's interesting to see how his videos have evolved over the years, and how Mandelbulber has suddenly changed the world of fractals forever. Someday, I expect to see these artificial worlds appear in movies. If you need an alien place for a Sci-Fi movie, it's pretty easy to see where you could get one.

DAY 1 - April 9
Dave and I decided that the 4-pitch Geronimo would be a good route for our first day. Although it is a relatively new climb, it has quickly become a popular route. (There were at least 4-5 parties on the route the day we climbed it, but we discovered that morning that thinking that Vegas is on Mountain Time is an effective technique to being first on route.) The climb has it all: face, crack, stemming, and exposed arete climbing, often with incut ledges and jugs that are a joy to climb. However, the rappel descent is notorious for snagging ropes. We got our ropes stuck twice, and even had to reclimb the final two pitches to unstick the rope. Fortunately the final two pitches are worth climbing twice.
|Geronimo, Jackrabbit Buttress
(4p, 5.6, 500ft)
DAY 2 - April 10
Olive Oil is one of the best Red Rocks moderates with its excellent, varied climbing on great rock. Plus, the descent is a 3rd class walk-off, which Dave and I appreciated after the previous day's rope-sticking issues. It was a really fun route providing a spicy level of exposure and challenge. The only negative part of the awesome route was the fact that the final chimney was a bit painful to our freshly sunburned skin.
|Olive Oil, Rose Tower
(6p, 5.7, 600ft)
|Las Vegas Adventure
The Las Vegas strip is a mere 30 minutes drive from Red Rocks. Dave and I headed there the second evening of our trip for an adventure of a different sort. My friend had given me a $20 with explicit instructions to gamble rather than shove it under my mattress, so we headed to the Bellagio to test my skills at the slot machines. I soon discovered that the only skills involved in slots is an ability to sit for a long time and repeatedly press either the "Bet 1 Credit" or "Play 3 Credits" buttons. Somehow, I ended up getting up to $114 within a few minutes. Perhaps if I had more skills in sitting for a long time I would have either ended up rich or destitute, but as it was I decided to quit while I was ahead. My winnings were about the value of a new #4 cam!

DAYS 3/4 - April 11/12
Although the route sort of ends mid-face on Mescalito, Cat in the Hat is one of the more popular routes of its grade at Red Rocks. The route is full of good stuff: steep walls with awesome cracks, jugs, and a bit of slabby face; consistent climbing, big belay ledges, and an easy rappel. On our first attempt at the route, winds and rain encouraged us to bail when we were only half way up. (A testament to the route's popularity is that there were about 5 other parties on the route despite the dreary weather.) But the climbing had been so fun that we - and at least 6 other parties! - decided to return and climb the route in its entirety the next day. It was a great climb to end the trip with.

What a fun trip! I'll definitely be back.

Ill. governor seeks to overcome pension setback
After singling out Illinois' worst-in-the-nation pension crisis as the most important issue of his governorship, Pat Quinn could only watch this week as his latest self-imposed deadline evaporated with almost no progress in a Legislature over which he has little sway.
The governor suffered perhaps the worst fallout from this week's lame-duck session, which ended when his surprise plan for an independent pension commission was derided as desperate. The Legislature, controlled by fellow Democrats, didn't even call a vote on it.
He has been widely praised for good intentions and efforts, but now it could be more months without movement and no promise of a solution on his signature issue as Republicans - and even a few fellow Democrats - begin angling to challenge him in the 2014 governor's race.
Quinn just shrugged it off Wednesday as a new General Assembly was sworn in, effectively restarting the process.
"You have to have deadlines in life," he said. "Sometimes you make those deadlines, and sometimes you have to keep working, keep running. That's what long distance is all about. You never stop working on something until you get to the finish line."
Since he proclaimed last year that he was "put on Earth" to solve the pension crisis, Quinn has isolated the problem above other priorities such as paying bills, legalizing gay marriage and enacting broader gun control. He has called a special legislative session, overseen a pension working group, released studies, discussed it with students and even tried a more lighthearted approach with a Web campaign and its cartoon mascot, "Squeezy the Pension Python."
In the waning hours of the lame-duck session, his staff said he talked with dozens of lawmakers to secure votes on a proposal. He testified before a committee and floated last-minute legislation tasking a commission to come up with solutions by April.
But none of it rippled into action on a final solution, something that experts say damages him on this particular issue and on his broader image.
"Every time he tries and loses a fight it just makes him weaker for the next one," said David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.
The unsolved pension problem has further agitated Quinn's already contentious relationship with unions, a key voting bloc he needs, particularly if a fellow Democrat makes the bold decision to challenge the sitting governor in a primary. Former White House chief of staff Bill Daley, the son and brother of two of Chicago's former mayors, says he is seriously thinking about it and has condemned Illinois' lack of leadership on pensions as a reason.
Quinn also is locked in a legal battle over union pay raises and pushed to close prison facilities to save money at a time when prisons already are overcrowded and workers have safety concerns. Also, the undertone to pension talks is that state workers will have to pay more toward their own retirements or receive reduced benefits. A coalition of unions has criticized Quinn and asked for a pension summit so they could participate in the discussions.
"What he's done is angered the unions ... he's attacked the retirement security," said Henry Bayer, executive director of the Illinois chapter of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. "This does not endear him to our members, to their families or the broader public."
A solution to the pension mess would win Quinn widespread praise and likely neutralize union opposition. There's no doubt that Quinn, like many governors, was handed a tough situation with the state's leviathan financial problems, but his defenders credit him for keeping the governor's office scandal free after his two immediate predecessors went off to prison.
For years, Illinois failed to properly fund its five pension systems, leading to a $96 billion hole that Quinn says grows by $17 million a day. His line of reasoning is that Illinois' obligation this year - about $6 billion - will eat up revenue leaving less money for schools, health care and public safety.
Quinn had set Wednesday as a final deadline for an overhaul, stressing urgency after talks in previous months stalled, but fellow Democrats who run the Legislature were less determined to rush a solution through the lame-duck session with so much disagreement over the details.
Officials on both sides of the aisle praised Quinn for how relentlessly he pushed the issue, even though he couldn't close the deal by his Wednesday deadline.
DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin, a Republican and former state senator, commended Quinn for being a "very strong and earnest advocate" after the two met last week on the issue.
"He doesn't have a magic wand. He's a mortal," Cronin said. "I think he's shown great leadership."
Legislative leaders also applauded Quinn, though his background as a political reformer and outsider put him at a disadvantage.
"I give him credit, first of all, for prioritizing it and working," said Senate President John Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat. "It's not his strength passing legislation in the General Assembly. He's never really been in the General Assembly."
But the issue of his leadership, and a continued holdup on pensions, is likely to become fodder for Republicans who have their eye on 2014. And some expected challengers already are criticizing him.
"He tends to do quirky things like start silly websites that just further degrade the respect he needs in order to accomplish things. And then he waits until the last minute," said Republican Sen. Bill Brady, narrowly defeated by Quinn in the 2010 race. "I don't know if it's his nature or in his past but you've got to confront these issues head-on and stay focused on them and not allow any time to waste."
Treasurer Dan Rutherford, another potential Republican candidate for governor, called his independent commission a "Hail Mary" attempt that just "kicked the can down the road."
Quinn's spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said the governor doesn't consider the session a failure at all.
"I don't think anyone with a straight face can say that Gov. Quinn has not gone to extraordinary lengths, starting from taking the political risk of placing this volatile issue front and center," she said.

Apartment dwellers often subjected to neighbors' tobacco smoke
Noisy neighbors and broken-down elevators are common downsides of apartment living. You also can add unwanted tobacco smoke to the list of hazards, according to research presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in Boston.
Studies have shown that tobacco smoke can seep from one apartment into another. The extent to which this happens, however, is unclear.
Researchers from the American Academy of Pediatrics Julius B. Richmond Center of Excellence surveyed a nationally representative sample of adults living in apartments to examine factors associated with unwanted tobacco smoke. The center, named for a former U.S. surgeon general, is committed to protecting children from tobacco and secondhand smoke.
Apartment dwellers were asked whether they experienced smoke incursion, which was defined as smelling tobacco smoke in their building and/or unit. They also were asked if they had children and if their apartment building had any smoking restrictions. Only respondents who reported that no one had smoked in their home for the previous three months were included in the study.
Results showed that nearly one-third of the 323 eligible respondents reported smelling tobacco smoke in their buildings, and half of these residents reported smelling smoke in their own units. In particular, residents with children were more likely to smell smoke in their building than those with no children (41 percent vs. 26 percent).
Survey results also showed that 38 percent of those who reported smelling smoke said they did so weekly, while 12 percent smelled smoke daily.
"A significant number of residents of multi-unit housing are being unwillingly exposed to tobacco smoke, in some cases on a daily basis, and children seem to be especially vulnerable," said lead author Karen M. Wilson, MD, MPH, FAAP, section head, pediatric hospital medicine at Children's Hospital Colorado and assistant professor of pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine. "This exposure could put children at risk for respiratory diseases and illness if it is persistent or if the child has a significant respiratory illness such as asthma or cystic fibrosis."
"A smoke-free building protects the shared indoor air that all residents, including infants and children, are forced to breathe. Every parent needs to hear about this research because it could be their infant or child who is exposed next," said Jonathan P. Winickoff, MD, MPH, FAAP, associate professor in pediatrics, MassGeneral Hospital for Children, Boston.
Residents receiving government housing subsidies also were more likely to smell smoke.
"Options for such housing are limited, and residents forced to experience smoke exposure in their buildings may not have the option to move to a smoke-free complex," Dr. Wilson added.
Partial measures, such as limiting common area smoking, appeared to be ineffective at protecting nonsmokers from exposure in their own units. As long as smoking was allowed in the individual units of a building, higher rates of exposure were reported. Only completely smoke-free buildings were associated with lower incursion rates.
"This finding supports grassroots efforts by multi-unit housing resident groups, apartment managers and owners to make buildings smoke-free for the comfort, health and safety of their residents, and because of the far lower costs associated with managing nonsmoking apartments," Dr. Wilson concluded.

On the block: JFK's gee-gaws up for bid
Furniture, artwork, and knickknacks from the homes of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis will be auctioned in February, Sotheby's announced Tuesday, December 7.
The auction, to be held February 15-17, is more modest than a 1996 Kennedy auction at Sotheby's that brought in $34.5 million, including $2.5 million for an engagement ring from Aristotle Onassis. The latest auction features some 600 lots including art, books, and photographs.
Many items have presale estimates as low as $200, though the Kennedy mystique could drive prices up.
"We never know,'' said Chapin Carson, a senior vice president at Sotheby's. "When we estimate things, we don't add in any extra value for the provenance. That's sort of for the market and the buyers to decide.''
The property was consigned by Caroline Kennedy, who in an introduction to the catalog says she has given everything of historical significance to the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation and kept the things that mean the most to her and her children. She says a portion of the auction proceeds will go to the library foundation and other charities.
The auction includes furniture from the private family quarters of the White House as well as from the Kennedy and Onassis homes in New York City; Hyannis Port, Massachusetts; Martha's Vineyard; Peapack, New Jersey; and Middleburg.
A 1910-1911 oil painting by Augustus John, "Portrait of the Artist's Wife Dorelia Before a Banner," from the Martha's Vineyard house, carries a presale estimate of $20,000 to $30,000. A 1968 portrait of Jacqueline Kennedy with her two children that was painted in the living room of their Fifth Avenue apartment is estimated at $8,000 to $12,000.
Several items reflect her love of riding, including horse blankets, bits, a bridle, and various equestrian artworks.
The property will be exhibited at Sotheby's Manhattan galleries February 9-14.

I was thinking about entering the race at kettlewell tomorrow as a first race.
Couple of questions - is this an ok first race? Short but with what seems like a decent amount as ascent.
I'be got full FRA kit ready, but it's all massive/dead heavy (mountaineering hardshell etc, will probably have to wear a backpack as no bumbag). But when I see race photos, no one is ever wearing a pack/bumbag. Are the requirements often waived for shorter races like this? I know it's forecast for rain but with reasonable temps.
