Upshaw: If No Deal, No Union
Friday, February 3, 2006
DETROIT, Feb. 2 -- NFL Players Association Executive Director Gene Upshaw upped the stakes in the league's labor dispute Thursday, saying he will recommend to players next month that they begin the process of decertifying the union if no deal for an extension of the collective bargaining agreement is in place.
The tactic would be an attempt to prevent players from being locked out by owners, and could set the stage for an antitrust lawsuit by players if owners were to impose new work rules that the players didn't like.
The league's current labor deal keeps its salary-cap system in place through the 2006 season, then there would be a season without a salary cap in 2007 before the deal expires. Negotiations between the owners and players on an extension have been stalled.
"In '08, if we don't have a deal, knowing the way the NFL works, they will try to implement something," Upshaw said at a news conference. "We will cease to be a union. We will start that process quickly. In our opinion, we'll have to end up in antitrust court, and we like our chances there."
The new league year begins March 3, and the players are scheduled to have an executive board meeting six days later. If there's no labor deal before that meeting, Upshaw and other union leaders said, union leaders will recommend to players that they start the decertification process.
"That process will start on March 9, one way or another. . . . We're not going to be sitting there at the end of '06 not knowing what to do," Upshaw said. "We will make that decision very quickly. . . . It will be addressed with the players, and they will decide what course to take."
The union decertified in 1989, then was re-established as the players' bargaining agent in '93. The current labor deal contains a provision that players can, if they choose, decertify the union again without the owners legally contesting the move, according to Richard Berthelsen, the union's general counsel.
There have been reports of preliminary discussions among owners about the possibility of a lockout to try to spur negotiations. Players would take the decertification step to attempt to avoid a lockout, believing the courts would not allow players to be locked out after decertifying their union.
With the union in place, it would be possible for owners eventually to declare an impasse in negotiations and unilaterally implement a new system consistent with their latest bargaining proposal. Without a union, owners would be left to implement whatever system they wanted, but the players would have the option of filing an antitrust lawsuit if they objected to the new system.
Union leaders said that NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and owners have known throughout the negotiating process that decertification would be the players' likely response if the talks failed to produce a deal. Still, Thursday's comments by Upshaw marked a further escalation in what has been an unusually contentious set of negotiations for a league whose prosperity has, in part, been helped by labor accord.
With the revenues burgeoning because of a new set of national television contracts that will be worth about $4 billion per season, Upshaw has been seeking during these negotiations to expand the pool of revenue from which the players are paid under the salary-cap system. But he has been unable to agree with Tagliabue and owners on what percentage of the expanded revenue pool players should receive. Upshaw has been seeking 60 percent, and owners have been unwilling to offer that much.
Tagliabue, meantime, is trying to get owners to agree to a plan to increase the degree to which the wealthiest franchises would share their locally generated revenues with needier teams. The two sets of negotiations are taking place simultaneously, and Upshaw said the biggest holdup to deals on both fronts is that some owners of the most prosperous clubs are taking advantage of the current system. He said he does not include the Washington Redskins' Daniel Snyder in that category.
"You have to take Dan Snyder out," Upshaw said. "He's completely different. He's got a high-revenue club, and he spends money on his players. We like that. There are high-revenue clubs who are spending less than $66 million on their players, and that's out of $300 million. That's not a fair share."

etour | My OHIO Portal
Last week, the executive staff and academic leadership endorsed a BPC recommendation to delay 2009 spending on base-budget first-year Vision Ohio Implementation Plan initiatives -- including faculty compensation increases -- and raises for all employees rather than only bargain-unit members, whose contracts dictate increases.
But University Resources Committee members opposed holding off on Vision Ohio investments, citing worries about abandoning strategic priorities.
"I don't know how we're ever going to get from where we are to where we want to (be)," said Board Chair C. Daniel DeLawder, who along with others showed particular concern for the initiative to improve faculty compensation.
"I really struggle with delaying compensation increases when we have identified those as top priorities," DeLawder said.
Vice President for Finance and Administration Bill Decatur and Director for Budget Planning and Analysis Rebecca Vazquez-Skillings told the committee that economic indicators at the state level, final admission commitments and recent news about investment projections informed the cautionary recommendation. Due to the latter, the university will need to resolve a $1.35 million deficit before the fiscal 2009 budget is finalized in June.
Decatur and President Roderick J. McDavis stressed that the contingency plan grew out of a campuswide concern that planning units have nowhere left to trim.
"To date, the predominant, almost unanimous feedback across campus is, 'Let's avoid budget cuts and layoffs for next year,'" Decatur said.
Trustees, however, were concerned about delaying investments that would help put the university on stronger footing going forward. They also asked whether the university could capitalize sooner rather than later on cost-saving measures, such as shared services and strategic procurement, or whether partial measures such as reduced annual pay raises makes sense.
"I'm really having a tough time with ... wanting to cut money on the faculty side when there are these other cost-saving measures out there," Trustee C. Robert Kidder said.
McDavis assured the committee that the university was actively working toward such measures -- which Decatur had outlined earlier -- and is in a good position to capitalize on them. However, those savings likely would not come to fruition in time to help with any shortfall in the upcoming fiscal year.
"Once you make a commitment, you can't go back and get those dollars," McDavis said. "If we find strategic investments or strategic procurement in the short term, we are going to do them."
The trustees considered these arguments and applauded the BPC's contingency planning, but ultimately decided that funding strategic initiatives should take precedence over other concerns.
"You're really not talking about dollars and cents. You are talking about principle," Trustee Larry L. Schey said. "If we never get these in the budget, then we'll keep taking them out."
McDavis accepted the committee's rationale, but stressed the serious consequences. "I want to be clear with this group that we are talking about people's jobs," he said.
National Trustee Frank Krasovec countered with concerns about the longer-term consequences. "If you don't do it, you put everyone's job at risk," he said.
The Ohio University Board of Trustees' formal meeting begins at 10 a.m. today.

In May, Andrew and I will be leaving China.
It's a long story, and the most immediate chapter began just when I would have been writing about Advent. It coloured our home leave. It required long silences as we waited to see what there would be to say.
Leaving China wasn't the plan. But it became clearer that it was how it was going to go.
One of the graces of the situation is that our need to leave coincided with a vacancy in a New Zealand church that Andrew was very excited about. He applied for that position, and has been appointed to be the new Vicar of All Saints, Howick. I'm not exactly sure what I will be doing, but some study is on the agenda. And I'll need some income so some kind of work. I'm hoping for the kind of work that I'm passionate about: work that connects spirituality and context, meaning-making, liturgy-loving, multigenerational community kind of work. But that's in the wait and see category!
I have loved China.
Well, more accurately I have loved living in China. I have especially loved being the Co-Pastor of the Congregation of the Good Shepherd.
Leaving is hard. Not just the work of sorting and filing and planning and packing. Leaving this community, these people, this place. In twelve weeks time, we will no longer live in China. In twelve weeks time, we will live in Howick.

The first amendment reads:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The first clause in the First Amendment—"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"—is generally referred to as the establishment clause. It is the establishment clause that grants "separation of church and state," preventing—for example—a government-funded Church of the United States from coming into being.

The second clause in the First Amendment—"or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"—protects freedom of religion. Religious persecution was for all practical purposes universal during the 18th century, and in the already religiously diverse United States there was immense pressure to guarantee that the U.S. government would not require uniformity of belief.

Congress is also prohibited from passing laws "abridging the freedom of speech." What free speech means, exactly, has varied from era to era. It is noteworthy that within ten years of the Bill of Rights' ratification, President John Adams successfully passed an act specifically written to restrict the free speech of supporters of Adams' political opponent, Thomas Jefferson.

During the 18th century, pamphleteers such as Thomas Paine were subject to persecution for publishing unpopular opinions. The freedom of press clause makes it clear that the First Amendment is meant to protect not only freedom to speak but also freedom to publish and distribute speech.

The "right of the people to peaceably assemble" was frequently violated by the British in the years leading up to the American Revolution, as efforts were made to ensure that radical colonists would not be able to foment a revolutionary movement. The Bill of Rights, written as it was by revolutionaries, was intended to prevent the government from restricting future social movements.

Petitions were a more powerful tool in the revolutionary era than they are today, as they were the only direct means of "redressing ... grievances" against the government; the idea of pursuing lawsuits against unconstitutional legislation was not feasible in 1789. This being the case, the right to petition was essential to the integrity of the United States. Without it, disgruntled citizens would have no recourse but armed revolution.

1 dead, 5 injured in school bus crash
Published 6:00 pm, Monday, January 14, 2008
A woman was killed and five students were injured Tuesday when a school bus trying to avoid hitting a tractor-trailer rig slid over car on a two-lane road, Bexar County officials said.
The identity of the woman, who was driving the car, wasn't released pending family notification.
None of the students' injuries were considered life-threatening.
The crash occurred shortly after 3 p.m. just southwest of San Antonio.
A Somerset Independent School District bus was heading north behind an 18-wheeler that was turning left. When the bus apparently failed to slow down quick enough, the bus driver steered the bus away to avoid striking the 18-wheeler, said Sgt. E.M. Conger.
The bus slid over the woman's southbound car and flipped on its right side, Conger said.
Five of the 10 students on the bus were transported to the hospital with minor injuries, he said.
School spokesman Maury Vasquez said in a story on the San Antonio Express-News Web site that the students attend middle school or high school.

Giro bows out in sunny style
Hundreds of thousands of people lined highways and byways in Ireland to bid arrivederci to the Giro D'Italia.
One of the world's most famous cycle races crossed the border from Armagh into Louth around lunch time then whizzed its way along the east coast towards Dublin.
Along the way young and old packed the streets of Castlebellingham, Drogheda, Skerries, Swords, Malahide and Clontarf for a glance of the speeding peloton and the famous Maglia Rosa - the leader's pink jersey.
Many were kitted out in pink ponchos, raincoats and headwear to protect them from the forecasted rain.
But despite threatening weather in the capital earlier in the day, the sun came out to welcome the 200 odd top level cyclists at the end of their 187 kilometre route.
Marcel Kittel was in the pink as he celebrated his 26th birthday in style by clinching victory in the stage three Irish leg.
The German rider collapsed off his bike at the end of a gruelling sprint finish after arriving into a thronged Merrion Square where crowds roared on the competitors outside the Irish Republic's Government Buildings.
"It was close," he admitted at the finish.
"Actually I thought I lost the race already because I was really in a not good position, but when I saw the finish line I thought, 'You don't give up now, you give everything you have.'
"I'm so happy that it was still enough."
The three-week race, which was won by Ireland's own Stephen Roche in 1987, now heads back home to Italy.

PixelOptics to launch 'world's first electronic focusing eyewear'
By Darren Quick
We have previously reported on the development of prototype adaptive focus glasses at the University of Arizona (UA) that were able to switch focus electronically. Unlike manually adjustable focus glasses, such as TruFocals, that place a flexible liquid lens between two rigid lenses, the lenses of the prototype glasses consisted of a layer of liquid crystals sandwiched between two pieces of glass. By applying an electric charge, the orientation of the liquid crystals – and therefore the optical path length through the lens – was able to be changed, resulting in glasses that changed focus electronically. This technology is now on its way to consumers with PixelOptics showing its emPower! glasses at CES 2011.

Inside Malaysia's national big data plan
Malaysia wants its businesses to be more productive, and the Government is helping companies data analytics to stay competitive on the global stage. The country is two years into a plan to become a regional big data hub by 2020. GovInsider caught up with Dr Karl Ng, Director of Innovation Capital, Multimedia Development Corporation – and the official leading this plan. The country has been building up citizens' skills in data science, and the focus this year is on getting businesses to adopt analytics. "Our biggest focus – from the country's perspective – is how can we get different sectors within Malaysia to adopt data analytics because that will be a shift towards digital transformation," Ng says. This year it will launch the ASEAN Data Analytics Exchange, a platform for…

One of the privileges of writing columns like this is that I can say "you" when I mean "I" and pretend that the things I routinely mess up are universal foibles rather than the singular errors of my own stupidity. So: when YOU are a parent, YOU may find that the hours approaching bedtime involve a steady increase in household tension as YOUR hellion children line up their tactics to avoid the duvet deadline. (Gosh, mine too. I'm so glad we understand each other's nightly sufferings.)
Today's news throws an extra gob of fretfulness into these battles: researchers from University College London have published a paper showing a connection between irregular or consistently late bedtimes for children and reduced ability in reading, maths and spatial skills. Or maybe this is an advantage in disguise and can be turned into another weapon in my (sorry, OUR) armoury of go-to-bed threats: "Go to sleep so mummy can watch Parks and Recreation, or no football, no story tomorrow, and you'll have diminished cognitive skills as demonstrated by arbitrary tests."
The study's authors suggest that there could be a direct causal link between the bedtimes and the test scores, and any parent who remembers the agonised sleep deprivation of the baby stage can probably accept that theory. I say "any parent who remembers" because, what with the misery of being woken every few hours for several months by a tiny screaming bag of milk-hunger, it's possible that a few parents forget the early months altogether.
My sense of the first weeks with each of my children are a kind of grey, arrhythmic montage: light and dark, wailing (theirs) and crying (mine) in no predictable order, and definitely no learning on my part, unless you count getting the World Service schedule by heart so I could tell exactly what god-awful part of the night I'd been thrown into without looking at the clock.
Sleep is obviously critical, then, but that doesn't mean the role it plays is definitely the one reported. It's possible that instead of causing the reduced test scores, the erratic bedtimes are a proxy for other issues that might make it harder for children to learn – although when you have a look at the researchers' table showing all the interlinked variables in a child's upbringing, you get a feeling for the problems inherent in measuring the making of a person.
A couple of figures catch the eye though: unsurprisingly, the children with later bedtimes are reported to watch more TV and be more likely to miss breakfast (presumably because they're oversleeping); fathers of children who go to bed early are more likely to say they don't see enough of their kids, and mothers of the irregular bedtimers are more likely to be "often irritated". (Look, it's very stressful being snarled up in a debate with an 11-year-old about whether a goodnight kiss given before YOU turn the light out still counts as an official goodnight kiss.)
But it's hardly obvious that telling parents their children need regular bedtimes is all the nudge they need to create a nation of prompt little pyjama-wearers. Most parents, I suspect, look forward to that short interregnum between child-rearing hours and their own bedtime for its own sake more than any prospect of boosting the kids' IQ.
Long work hours, difficult shift patterns, unsettled home lives – all these things might be reasons for wonky bedtimes, and none of them are easily fixed. We don't even know how many children are affected, so even if sleep patterns are the problem, we can't say yet how big that problem is. What we can say, though, is that everyone should learn to appreciate the pleasure of a good kip – adults and children, and especially (oh please, please, please) my children.

Need help with Iver Johnson 22 carbine rifle
I was recently given an Iver Johnson 22 carbine rifle. The rifle had been shot only a couple of hundred times then put up in a closet about 25 years ago and not shot since. It looks like new but when you slide the bolt back and pull trigger the firing pin does not engage or if it does it is very weak. I have taken it apart and oiled it and don't visibly see anything wrong. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this kind of problem.
five rivers
sounds to me like all them years of sitting has gummed up the action somewhere.it is a common problem after long term storage.grease and oil turn into dried out sludge.take it all the way down and clean all parts and lightly lube with a good oil.examine any springs for damage from being compressed for a number of years.best i can do for ya with out seeing it and tearing it apart.parts can also be a pain in the ass to get for the Iver Johnsons.what model is it?

Story highlights
- Aaron Hernandez has been charged with three killings
- He has pleaded not guilty
- The weapon used in the death of Odin Lloyd has not been found
If prosecutors plan to argue former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez was the one who fired seven rounds into Odin Lloyd, they won't be able to show the alleged murder weapon to make their case.
That's because the .45 caliber gun used to kill Lloyd has never been found.
"That's a hurdle," attorney and sports analyst Michael McCann told CNN.
Prosecutors have charged Hernandez, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz with first-degree murder, however, more than a year since the June 17, 2013, homicide, prosecutors have yet to definitively say who was the alleged trigger man.
All three men have pleaded not guilty.
Despite extensive searches of Hernandez's home, his apartment, his cars, an uncle's home, the crime scene, woods, dumpsters, and a lake in Hernandez's hometown of Bristol, Connecticut, what happened to the alleged murder weapon remains a mystery.
"To be sure, someone can be convicted without a murder weapon," McCann said. "We know that. But it's harder."
Authorities said in court that they recovered five rounds from Lloyd's body. An autopsy revealed two more rounds went through his body. Those rounds were later dug up from the soil in the industrial park where Lloyd was shot. A shell casing was also found in the rental car that prosecutors say Hernandez drove to the crime scene.
All the rounds are .45 caliber, according to authorities.
Surveillance video from Hernandez's home security system shows the former NFL player arriving back at his house with two other people, according to the district attorney. Prosecutors believe the gun seen in Hernandez's left hand is the alleged murder weapon, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.
"He's last seen with the firearm before he goes down to the basement door," Bristol County District Attorney William McCauley told a judge at a June 16 hearing.
Two witnesses have testified before a grand jury that Hernandez kept a .45 gun in a black metal box in his basement, McCauley told the court.
The day after Lloyd's body was found, Hernandez sent a mysterious "coded" text message to his fiancée Shayanna Jenkins and asked her get something out of their basement, according to search warrant affidavits.
"Go back in back of the screen in movie room when u (sic) get home an (sic) there is a box...jus (sic) in case u (sic) were looking for it!!! ... WAS JUST THINKIN bout that lol wink wink love u TTYL....K"
"TTYL" is common shorthand for "talk to you later."
A home surveillance video shows Jenkins leaving the house about an hour later and carrying something "rigid" and "consistent to a lock box or safe" placed inside a garbage bag and covered with children's clothing, according to the documents.
Jenkins later testified before a grand jury. According to prosecutor McCauley, "She said it was a box ... and it was heavy, it was approximately 25 pounds."
On video, Jenkins is allegedly seen returning home without the "rigid" item. Prosecutors said Jenkins testified she got rid of the box.
"It goes into the dumpster," McCauley told a judge. "Later on when she's questioned about that, she can't recall where she put that. That item or items were never recovered."
Jenkins has been charged with perjury and has pleaded not guilty. Her attorneys have said they will not comment on her case.
In pre-trial hearings, Hernandez's lawyers have argued prosecutors have no evidence as to what was in the box.
"I mean, who knows?" co-counsel James Sultan told the court. "It could be drugs, it could be something that was connected to this crime that he knew about, that he was covering up for somebody else after the fact. There are all kinds of possibilities ... But that's not probable cause that he committed murder."
Authorities did seize other guns from the former tight end's home and apartment, as well as .45 caliber ammunition. Hernandez also has pleaded not guilty to five other weapons-related charges.
Unlike the missing weapon in the Lloyd case, police have found a .38 caliber gun they accuse Hernandez of using to kill Safiro Furtado and Daniel Abreu in Boston in July 2012. Police have not established a connection between the gun and Hernandez.
Hernandez is charged as the sole shooter in that case and has pleaded not guilty.
Can prosecutors persuade a jury in the Lloyd case that they don't need to see the weapon involved?
"Given the large number of TV shows devoted to crime ... jurors are always receptive to the popular defense argument that 'missing evidence' creates reasonable doubt in prosecutor's case," said CNN analyst and former New York prosecutor Paul Callan.
Yet, Callan added, authorities can argue there was plenty of time to ditch the weapon.
"After all we still haven't found Jimmy Hoffa, so explaining away a missing gun is not particularly difficult if other evidence is compelling and persuasive," he said.

Hello everybody, A bit offtopic, but since the attr() came up in this thread, I'd add few cent of my own to the 0 Currently the css functions are used rather statically in the sense that one can not nest them eg. use constructs like: list-style-image: url("/images/" attr(name) ".gif"); In the light of the new and improved attr(x, y) one could for example try and specify color: rgb(attr(r,number),attr(g,number),attr(b,number),attr(a,number)); imo this would make css functions (and specifically attr(X)) much more useful than they currently are, allowing (where appliccable) uses that could greatly improve the overall flexibility of stylesheets.

WASHINGTON — On Tuesday, it was a 4,500-mile round-trip to Boise and Milwaukee to raise campaign funds for two Republican senators facing re-election in 1986. On Wednesday, it was a tete-a-tete in the Oval Office that helped persuade a reluctant former Vermont Gov. Richard Snelling to run against Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D., Vt.) next year. On Thursday, it was a fund-raising dinner for the Republican Governors Association.
In these and other less-publicized ways last week, President Reagan went about fulfilling his role as the day-in, day-out leader of the Republican Party. As one who often has been critical of other aspects of Reagan`s stewardship, I want to salute the man who, more than any other president I have covered, pays his dues and unselfishly aids the growth of his political party.

Avisail Garcia has been great the past few weeks, hasn't he? At this point in the season, I'm here to tell you that it's time to throw projections out the window (defenestration, yo!). This isn't to say that you should expect something completely unrealistic from a player, but it is ok to minimize any worry about regression. For example, can Avisail maintain the .800 OPS he's produced over the past month? Why not? And, am I allowed to answer a question with another question? This is my long way of saying that if a player is on a hot streak, it could absolutely continue for the rest of the season and doesn't "have to" regress. With that out of the way, I'll admit that I'm still deciding how I'll feel about Garcia for next year, but I believe he can be productive for the rest of 2013. Anyway, here are some players who can be better than expected in OPS leagues going forward:Please, blog, may I have some more?

I never know what to expect from Jay Bruce on a weekly basis. He's been killing me softly the past month (or really, season), but it always feels like he might turn things around instantly. Is there a term for when a fantasy baseball owner is afraid to bench a great player out of fear of retribution? Or is that simply good old fashioned passive-aggressiveness? I'm not sure if it's better to have "streaky" players in a head-to-head league or not. Theoretically, they could kill your team in a given week, but they could also save it. Maybe it's just about having a good balance. What are your thoughts on "streaky" players? Anyway, Bruce has been alright, but is fairly underwhelming in an OPS league, considering his likely price on draft day. I'm thinking about jumping off the ship next year and letting somebody else grab him, but then he would probably make me regret it. There he goes again with that passive-aggressive behavior! Here are some other players on my mind who may or may not stab you in the back:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Fancy meeting you here, and look at you: all dressed up with no place to go. As the season winds down, some are focused on last-minute playoff help (I try to appease you below), while others are reflecting on the past season. Let's try to focus on the positives and learn a little something. I'm curious to hear which player you think is most deserving of the "OPS League MVP Award". Let's stay away from Miguel Cabrera, who was obviously great, but cost you a high draft pick. I'm looking for guys who provided value that far exceeded what they cost you on draft day and were truly a gift from the fantasy baseball gods. This will ideally help to provide us with a list of potential targets for next season (don't worry; nobody else besides us will see this). Anyway, for those of you fortunate enough to still be in contention, here are some potential targets:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Can I assume that you're still competitive in your league if you're reading this article at this point in the year? Or are you simply looking to find solace from a lost fantasy baseball season? Well, I can't promise that this article will save your team or your spirits but, then again, I can't promise that it won't either. After all, Juan Francisco should give you plenty to smile about, and not just for Brewers fans after a rough season. Following his mediocre .685 OPS across limited playing time in Atlanta, he's thrived with consistent playing time in Milwaukee, posting a .245/.325/.511 line. I've always been one big Juan fan and am confident that he will be much closer to his Milwaukee line going forward. He doesn't have a fantastic OBP, but his slugging will definitely help you, especially if you're hurting at third base. That he's largely available means that he can help you in your playoff push. Anyway, here are some other guys who might be able to save your team:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I'll admit that I rarely write about pitchers, which may not come as a surprise if you knew my long and troubled past. Many years ago, I had a strong affinity for many pitchers on my favorite team (rhymes with Drew Stubbs). Unfortunately the coach – let's call him either "D. Baker" or "Dusty B." – was bent on crushing my hopes. But for you, my favorite readers, I will temporarily set aside my shattered dreams to review how 2013 "OPS against" views different pitching staffs. I'll also include WHIP and BB/9 because I'm just that generous (don't forget humble!). Anyway, here is the list of the worst pitching staffs:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Manny Ramirez is no stranger to controversy removing him from the field, which makes it even stranger that controversy may end up putting him back on the field. The Rangers, who have Manny playing in their minor leagues, have been insistent that they have no need for Ramirez on their major league squad. However, that could change with Nelson Cruz accepting his 50 game suspension. I want to address a larger point in that over-the-hill sluggers are sometimes worth the gamble, even when they seem unlikely to produce. Yes, I'd take the same approach with Alex Rodriguez (Steamer projects a decent .258/.340/.438 line for him). I know it tends to be unpopular because they aren't as exciting as younger players, but, depending on the size of your league, they still have value. If you have any doubts about a player being productive at an unlikely age, I'll give you my Exhibit A: David Ortiz, who is likely well into his seventies. If Manny gets another chance in the majors, I wouldn't expect Ortiz-like production, but something similar to Steamer's A-Rod projection seems reasonable. That would be helpful at removing some of the weight from losing any fantasy baseball players to a suspension. Anyway here are some less controversial players I'm following in OPS leagues:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Drafting Michael Bourn? That's a paddlin'. Focusing on steals in an OPS league? That's a paddlin'. Drafting a SAGNOF who hurts your OPS and doesn't steal bases? Oh, you better believe that's a paddlin'! In all honesty (which implies that I'm rarely honest with you?), I feel sorry for fantasy owners who were counting on him for stolen bases. Don't you feel that way too, Matt Kemp? They had their fantasy teams left cold and ashamed, lying naked on the floor. No, let's not get into Rihanna right now. But I really don't know where to start with Michael, so I'll begin at the beginning and go on till I come to the end, then stop. His current .288/.341/.381 line is fine in OBP leagues, but hurts in leagues that use slugging. The fact that he only has 13 steals is puzzling, considering that he's a guy you would pencil in for 50 a year. Perry Farrell told me to note that Bourn's been caught stealing seven times, a potential indicator of less speed. To make a not-so-long story short, I wouldn't count on Bourn turning his season around. Anyway, here are some other guys I'm watching in OPS leagues:Please, blog, may I have some more?
No worries, fantasy owners: Alejandro De Aza may not speak Swahili*, but this past month his numbers have been music to fantasy owners' ears. With a .350/.418/.567 line in July, a strikeout rate that has decreased every month of this season, and already reaching a career high in home runs, there are many reasons for optimism. Yes, he struggled early on this season, but he seems to be rounding into form with an approach that attempts to hit for more power. And why not? After all, he plays in a park where Adam Dunn bunted for a home run** last year. I, for one (unless I can speak for more than one?), am embracing the slightly more homer-friendly De Aza. If he continues to steal bases, then he will add to the scarcity of players who steal bases, but don't destroy your OPS (you know who you are). For the rest of the season, I believe that he will be able to maintain his current .278/.336/.444 line, which represents a slight dip in OBP with a nice bump in slugging. Anyway, here are some other guys I'm dreaming about in OPS leagues:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Maybe I'm paranoid, but we have to be masters of reality and understand that he won't be able to continue this wizard-like production. I'm not exactly trying to declare war on Yasiel Puig, but, like any new found glory, it's all downhill from here. Don't make me choose my friends over you, Yasiel! He's truly been a fantasy baseball catalyst, but he has a very low walk rate and his strikeout rate is rising to worrisome levels. He will continue to be hit or miss, although I unfortunately see him missing much more often. Let's address the giant Sandoval in the room: his .472 BABIP is preparing him for a head on collision. Another factor is that his hip injury has shown that he's no iron man. I'll temper expectations a bit by saying that a certain player had a comparable 1.105 OPS last June, only to fall to mediocrity afterwards. Shout out to whoever names that player first. I think Puig will be closer to Mark Trumbo going forward, which isn't bad, but isn't anywhere near what he's been this year. On a different note, Terse and I will be doing a Reddit AMA tonight at 7pm EST. Y'all should stop by. Anyway, here are some other guys who are putting up somewhat surprising seasons:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Alex Rodriguez may be a slob like one of us, but I've repeatedly told you to pick up Carlos Quentin this season, so I've already thrown my dignity out the proverbial window (defenestration, yo!). Instead of trying to trade for third base help, I'm saving my money and I'm hella happy that's a bargain! Or something like that. His baby's got sauce, but I'm not going to hold it against him. Instead I'm going to cross my fingers that he is productive for the last couple months of the season. If you're concerned about his injuries, lifestyle choices, or age, I'd like to point to David Ortiz as an example of an oldie, but goodie. A-Rod doesn't have elite production left in him, ahem, but he can still reach a .270/.350/.450 line. All I'm saying is that it's a chance worth taking. Who knows, maybe if he finishes the season strong, owning him will be vogue. Anyway, here are some other guys who have my attention in OPS leagues:Please, blog, may I have some more?

The state Department of Natural Resources is bringing an urban forestry restoration program to Pierce County, according to a county news release.
Washington Conservation Corps teams will remove English ivy, Himalayan blackberry and yellow-flag iris from Spanaway Park and Bresemann Forest over the next few weeks in Spanaway.
The Urban Forestry Restoration Project enhances the capacity of urban forests to manage stormwater and improve air and water quality, according to the release, by improving the health and functionality of trees and forested areas in urban settings.
Non-native invasive species have prevented the community from experiencing the full benefits of these forested areas, according to the release. Eventually, native vegetation will be planted after the invasive species are gone.
The Washington State Urban and Community Forestry Program is made possible through a partnership with the USDA Forest Service, the release said. For more information on the program, visit the project website.

View from the Top
In that 20-minute span, he showed why Clevelanders – including the assembled media – can't help but love the guy.
He has incredible civic pride for a city he wasn't born or raised in. He understands Cleveland fans' insecurity and anger. He's infamously impatient with losing and is willing to spend wisely to win. Plus, he's really funny.
I mean, what other team owner can crack up a roomful of cynical reporters, spinning one of the most painful experiences in local sports history into a Zendon Hamilton reference?
After another difficult season for the Wine and Gold, the Quicken Loans founder addressed the question of patience – as in, how much will he have as the club continues its reconstruction.
"You have to be as patient as your choices," explained Gilbert. "You can be an impatient person, but you still have to be as patient as your ability to affect the outcome. And here, you have no choice – you have to be patient for at least a period of time. But I believe we have the right front office and right coaching staff."
The Cavaliers have a painful recent past. After six straight trips the postseason, the Cavaliers have gone 40-108 over the last two years. In 2011-12, the injury bug and a necessary Deadline deal helped derail a possible playoff run. A pair of fan favorites – Anderson Varejao and Boobie Gibson – had their seasons cut short and the squad was forced to dip into the D-League more often than they'd have preferred.
But there were also reasons for great hope – specifically based on a pair of extremely promising rookies, Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson. Irving was hands-down the league's top freshman and Tristan Thompson defied critics to become the top rebounder among first-year players.
And the Cavaliers are about to get another infusion of young talent in this June's Draft. Where their first (of two) first round picks will be selected will be determined in Secaucus on May 30. And Dan Gilbert hopes lightning will strike twice in northern New Jersey.
"We're definitely going to bring (Nick)," asserted Gilbert, referring to his son, who became a household name after last year's stunning success. "I mean, why not go with the momentum, right? We're going to brink Nick to the Lottery. If he doesn't get the top pick, we're going to ground him for the summer."
Gilbert insisted that he's going to bring the entire entourage from last May's Lottery – including Bernie Kosar, Josh Cribbs and Joe Haden.
Last year, the Lottery bore some fantastic fruit – the No. 1 and No. 4 overall selections. This past June's top pick – Kyrie Irving – showed superstar potential this past season. If and when the former Blue Devil blossoms into a superstar, Gilbert has a clear philosophy on approaching the situation this time.
"We want to build a franchise with Kyrie – or with other superstars – not around superstars," said Gilbert. "We think that's probably not a great formula for success or else we'd have rings and a championship trophy. We believe the 'with' is the key here. And we're looking forward to adding more great pieces."
Gilbert has enjoyed fan support since his arrival in Cleveland and has continued to build that bond in Northeast Ohio. And without setting a specific timetable, he understands that – after a pair of difficult campaigns – Cavalier fans are ready for a return to the tournament.
"It's hard really to put a firm timeframe on it," explained Gilbert. "You know it's not more than a handful of years, but you don't want to put too short a timeframe on it. I can't give you exact numbers, but I guess it's always 'as soon as possible' for us. We will continue to do everything that's humanly possible – including spending whatever we need to spend (if that'll affect the outcome)."
In between fielding questions, Gilbert, as always, added levity to the proceedings, answering questions about his sometimes curious Twitter tendencies – including an imposter tweeting a roll of toilet paper, Dan's accidental tweet of a swear word ("I forgot to buy a vowel.") and erroneously tweeting out his own phone number. ("I did that, too.")
He also continued the tradition of breaking his GM's chops, drawing immediate attention to Chris Grant's 40th birthday – something most newly-40-year-olds don't always appreciate.
Gilbert, Grant, Byron Scott and the rest of the Cavs braintrust have a huge offseason that's about to unfold. The Cavaliers owner has been patient to this point, but he sounded ready for a return to the success he's accustomed to.
"Before we had the injuries, we were knocking on the door (of the playoffs) up through the All-Star Break," said Gilbert. "I certainly think that's a possibility, making the playoffs next year. I think we play every year to get in the playoffs, regardless of who's on the court. So I certainly wouldn't rule out or put any limits – I don't think any of us put limits – on where the team can go in any year."
Cleveland fans are used to hearing about "next year." But Cavs fans won't have to wait long to get a taste of what next year might include. They'll get a glimpse of the future when Dan, Nick, Bernie, Josh and Joe try to beat the odds for the second straight season less than three weeks from now in Times Square.

China's courts need to show way forward
If Xi Jinping's pledge to promote the authority of the constitution is to be respected, rule of law must be seen to be in action to be believed
Related topics
One key question after the Communist Party's national congress last month is whether the authorities will continue to use the courts as merely a tool for greater control, or allow them to play the role they should as guardians of the rule of law.
A flurry of developments in three high-profile cases in the past week is sending worrying mixed signals.
The one that attracted the most international attention was the sentencing of Chen Kegui, a nephew of blind activist Chen Guangcheng, to 39 months in jail after a brief, essentially closed-door hearing in Linyi, Shandong. He was originally charged with "intentional homicide" for injuring several armed officials with a knife as they tried to raid his home following his uncle's escape in April. The charge was later reduced to "intentionally inflicting harm" but family members and lawyers argued vehemently that he was only acting in self-defence.
Chen Guangcheng, now in the United States, had called for a fair trial for his nephew for months, but lawyer's appointed by Chen Kegui's father did not succeed in meeting the young defendant. Then, on November 30, Chen Kegui was convicted. His parents - two key witnesses to the clash - were barred from attending the hearing.
The local authorities claimed that Chen was properly represented by two legal aid lawyers from Shandong, but family members said he had never accepted their services.
If the trial of Chen Kegui represents continued ignorance of the law by lower-level courts, or the abuse of the courts by local authorities, the latest twists in the case of Beijing lawyer Li Zhuang may offer some welcome news.
Li was jailed for 2-1/2 years in January 2010 after being convicted of perjury for "coaching" alleged triad boss Gong Gangmo to claim that he only confessed because he was tortured. Li's trial took place against the backdrop of Chongqing's anti-triad campaign, a pet project of fallen party chief Bo Xilai, which saw thousands arrested and hundreds tried for engaging in triad activities and was criticised as showing blatant disregard for due process.
Li's sentence was reduced to 1-1/2 years on appeal after he confessed, something he said he did in the mistaken belief that it would secure his immediate release. Li completed his sentence in June last year and filed his first request for a retrial in December. Officials from Chongqing No1 Intermediate People's Court finally met Li on November 29 to hear his claim, the first step in the process that will determine whether he will be granted a retrial.
Meanwhile, the latest development in the case of Zhejiang entrepreneur Wu Ying is a cause for head-scratching. Jinhua Intermediate People's Court held hearings on November 27 on two debt recovery cases in which Wu is the plaintiff, Xinhua reported. The hearings were held in the jail where Wu is serving a suspended death sentence for illegal fundraising with intent to defraud.
She was originally sentenced to death, but her life was spared in May after many people pleaded on her behalf, saying that someone should not be executed for a commercial crime, especially when the borrowing of funds by private entrepreneurs is a murky area.
On the surface the two cases are about Wu's company, Bensi, recovering money from two debtors over the sale of 14 pieces of real estate just before she was arrested. But Wu's father said she was coerced into signing the sales contracts in the first place, and the current proceedings were brought to make her acknowledge title transfer to the debtors once they cleared their debts. Wu's father said she had bought the properties for more than 100 million yuan (HK$123 million) and would not have willingly sold them for little more than 30 million yuan.
How Wu's assets were handled after she was arrested in 2007 has always been a sore point in the case and has raised the question of corruption. Wu's lawyer told the media she did not know about the hearings when he met her on November 25, two days before they were held.
The three cases all highlight the need for mainland courts to be seen to be fair and free of political influence.
On Tuesday, Vice-President Xi Jinping pledged to promote the authority of the constitution and the rule of law and said authorities must "allow the overwhelming masses to fully believe in the law".
That was the rhetoric. Now it is time for action. Allowing the courts to rule according to the law is the only way tobuild belief.

Last year, we got into some bad habits.
If you've been following me for awhile, you would have read my story about when my husband lost his job and we moved in with my parents. I am so, so grateful for the generosity that my parents showed, but when you aren't living in your own space, it's hard to set boundaries. Even hard to keep things normal sometimes.
I think I had a mindset that things were just temporary, and I just needed to do what I needed to do to get by. To bide my time. So we started doing things like having cereal for breakfast every morning. Eating too many snacks. My son developed a chocolate milk addiction. And he also became a very picky eater.
When we moved last November, I made a promise to myself. To my family. That our ways would change and we would get back on track with what we were eating. Well, then there were more excuses. 🙂 We had just moved – things were a mess. I was working crazy hours and was so tired in the mornings that I didn't have the energy to make breakfast, so cereal it was. I guess that's why they call them habits. And sometimes, they are hard to break.
Well, things are changing.
We have been taking baby steps, which is sometimes the only way to go when you have a small family. But one of my biggest things that I wanted to improve was that I wanted to get my kids to love vegetables. But that can sometimes get difficult when you are in the dead of winter. Sure, there are veggies at the grocery store, but how are you supposed to love something that doesn't taste like anything? That's what I think about most produce you can find in the winter – especially tomatoes.
Enter Del Monte® canned tomatoes.
Seriously. These things are lifesavers. Not only are they canned from tomatoes that are picked at their peak of ripeness, but the majority are canned the same day they are picked. You can't even get fresh like that when it's prime tomato season! Plus, 95% of Del Monte's fruits, canned tomatoes and vegetables are preservative free. By stocking your pantry full of canned fruits and vegetables, you have a garden in your pantry with great products just waiting to be used.
For recipes and information about Del Monte, make sure you are following them on Facebook!!
If there is one thing that my kids can't leave alone, it's when mom or dad are dipping chips into anything. And salsa (as long as it's not too spicy) is one of their favorites. During our move, I came across a piece of paper with a version of this recipe on it that I had been given from some girls at church. The youth were doing a fundraiser and selling salsa, and luckily, they handed out the recipe as well, because the salsa didn't last long at all. So when I came across the recipe, I knew I needed to make up a batch for my kids and I to share. I love this salsa recipe because it's perfect year round, and it literally only takes minutes to make.
I also decided to take the healthy-factor one step further and bake some of my own tortilla chips. I love this method because I can make just as many as I need, and I don't have to worry about a whole bag of chips, sitting in my pantry and tempting me. I like to make these simply with some coarse kosher salt, but they are great when you sprinkle them with spices as well.
Now this is a healthy snack the whole family loves!
- 2 (14.5 oz) cans Del Monte diced tomatoes
- 1 (14.5 oz) can Del Monte stewed tomatoes
- 6-8 green onions
- ½ - 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds and ribs removed for less heat
- 1 large handful cilantro
- juice from 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt
- Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and pulse until you reach the desired consistency.
- Arrange the oven racks in the top third and bottom third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Lay the tortillas out on a work surface and brush with oil. Sprinkle with salt. Stack the tortillas, then cut the whole stack into 8 wedges. Arrange on 2 baking sheets in a single layer. Place the chips in the oven and bake for 7 minutes, then rotate the trays and bake an additional 7 minutes, or until the desired doneness.* Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving.

Dish Network gets 1080p, more HD channels
"DISH Network Corporation today set the bar for the next-generation HD standard by becoming the first in the industry to offer high definition programming in 1080p, the highest and best HD resolution available. This new functionality is part of DISH Network's latest and unprecedented expansion in high definition services, which includes the rollout of TurboHD, the industry's first 100 percent, all-HD suite of programming packages. As previously announced, DISH Network will also launch 17 new national HD channels today, surpassing its goal of reaching 100 national HD channels five months ahead of schedule. DISH Network now offers up to 114 national HD channels and plans to expand that line-up to 150 channels by the end of 2008, made possible by the recent launch of Echo XI, the most powerful satellite in the company's fleet."
I Am Legend in 1080p/24
Last night I watched "I Am Legend" in 1080p/24 on Dish.
Before the movie started the screen goes blank for about ten seconds while the receiver does a quick test of your display to make sure it can handle the 1080p signal. Although the video quality was quite good, the audio was clearly not as good as Blu-ray. Once you have been spoiled with lossless/uncompressed, regular DD just isn't the same. So, Blu-ray will remain my first choice for movies available on BD, then Dish HD would be my second choice, followed by regular DVDs.

These rock-ribbed journalistic values were conveyed in attacks on Politico, the outlet that had broken news of the sexual harassment complaints that Cain had generated when he was head of the National Restaurant Association. Campaign spokesperson J.D. Gordon played the role of campaign journalism professor. As he explained to Geraldo:
"These two sources aren't even named in the piece and it was a third party."
"These are thin allegations, this is non-sourced, right now we're trying to put this in perspective for you that this is not even...]a] sourced allegation."
"The international media already passed on it because they knew there was nothing to it."
Then came Wednesday, and it was time for the Cain campaign to practice some investigative journalism of its own. It chose to air its story on Fox News. High-ranking Cain adviser Mark Block presented the campaign's findings to Fox's Bret Baier: An adviser to the campaign of Rick Perry had leaked the story to Politico. When asked for evidence, here's what Block said:
"In 2003, Herman Cain ran for the Senate. He hired a general consultant, Curt Anderson. Mr. Cain divulged the NRA claims at that time to his general consultant, so the campaign at that point would be prepared if the issue surfaced. It did not. Approximately two weeks ago, as you know, Mr. Anderson went to work for the Rick Perry campaign. What else happened about two weeks ago? Politico began this smear campaign, citing anonymous sources, claiming Mr. Cain acted inappropriately."
Hand it to the Cain people. There's no hypocrisy going on here. They hammered the Cain campaign for relying on anonymous sources and they're practicing what they're preaching. There are no anonymous sources whatsoever behind their accusations that the Perry campaign tipped off Politico. Not one single dastardly nameless source.
And that's because there are no sources whatsoever.
Just a timeline, some possibly suspicious circumstances, and a supposition. No documents, no quotes, no...information.
Add to that a flat denial from the central player in the story. Anderson yesterday said this about the Cain offensive:
"I've known Herman Cain for about 7 years. I was one of several consultants on his Senate race in 2004 and was proud to help him. I'd never heard any of these allegations until I read them in Politico, nor does anything I read in the press change my opinion that Herman is an upstanding man and a gentleman. I have great respect for Herman and his character and I would never speak ill of him, on the record or off the record. That's true today and it's not going to change."
So that's one dramatic comedown for the Cain campaign — in the space of three days it falls from the dean of journalism ethics to conveyor of tabloid-style sleaze. Its "scoop" on Anderson and the Politico tip would be laughed out of every newsroom in the United States, except, perhaps, the New York Post, where it would be published immediately.
Ever since this thing started, people have been pressing the question about whether Politico had gotten tipped off by a rival campaign. MSNBC's Ed Schultz, for instance, pressed Politico reporter Ken Vogel on the matter earlier in the week and got nowhere. Just as well. It's the results of the tip, not the origins, that matter. Given that we now have a third accuser coming forward, that tip appears to be panning out. Had the Perry people indeed passed along the information, they wouldn't have been engaging in gutter politics. They would have been doing a public service.
An inquiry to the Cain campaign regarding any further evidence for its Anderson claim is pending.

Gaming enthusiasts should be pleased with the teaser, which shows a number of scenes that seem to clearly and intentionally evoke the Doom gaming experience. And the film's tone appears to be true to the original game and its two follow-ups.
Particularly noteworthy are the movie's creatures, suitably reminiscent of the baddies you've gleefully blown to bits in the game, and skillfully realized by make-up effects master Stan Winston and his creative team - the same studio that created the monsters for Alien, Predator and many other creature features.
The Doom movie, in case you've been gaming so intensely that you haven't heard, follows John Grimm (Karl Urban), a Marine nicknamed "Reaper," who travels with his squad to a Martian research facility where all hell is breaking loose.
Sarge, played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, leads the team to the facility, owned and operated by the Union Aerospace Corporation, where researchers have just discovered the final 10% of the human genome... but with unexpected side effects. Specifically, residents are turning up dead or missing, frayed and bloody lab coats are found, and severed limbs are discovered. It seems that the project has somehow unleashed monstrous, infernal beings and now it's up to John to destroy them and save the day.
Watch the Teaser! [3] Woohoo!

Benji Bolsenbroek funeral set two months after death
The funeral of a man who died after a night out to celebrate the birth of his son is to take place more than two months after his death.
Benji Bolsenbroek, 23, was fatally injured during a disturbance at the Park Hotel pub in Middlesbrough in October.
His funeral will take place on December 20 in the town.
Cleveland Police said 14 people remained on bail in connection with Mr Bolsenbroek's death.
It is still being treated as "unexplained".
Detectives identified 62 people who were in the pub at the time of the "large-scale" fight.

Stretching, Tightness and the Dancer
As dancers we stretch to improve flexibility and allow for greater range of motion. The body has to be able to move in every direction possible for the demanding lifts, spins and drops. But the body also has to have the strength and control necessary to prevent injury. The stretching that we have been taught to do in order to gain flexibility is not an effective way to achieve the critical balance between strength and flexibility.
If muscles of one limb or side of the body are more tensed than muscles on the other side, you may have an interruption of a nerve signal or misaligned bones. For example, a twisted pelvis will cause one hamstring to be more tensed than the other. Stretching overly tensed muscles cannot fix the cause of their abnormal tension. While stretching may make you feel better temporarily, it will not remove a potential cause of injury. This is why stretching and especially static stretching, before performing or exercising does not prevent injuries.
If you compare the body to a bridge and the muscles are the cables, when all the cables are strong, working properly, the bridge functions as it should. But if a cable becomes weak, all of the cables surrounding the weak one have to take on an extra burden. The extra strain on these cables makes them tighten and could make one break. So, in the body, if one muscle is not contracting effectively, the others have much more work to do. What we experience as muscle tightness in one area is most likely the result of weakness in another.
Typical strength training exercise will not help either. This will overstress the overly tensed muscles, or will bypass the weak ones recruiting others to do their job.
To correct such problems you need the help of a muscle specialist that has the expertise to identify the location and cause of the problem.
Not massage or chiropractic care, a muscle activation techniques specialist utilizes a systematic checks and balances approach of testing, treating muscles and take home prevention moves for each individual.

When I get a book on asset allocation in the mail, I say to myself, "Another book on asset allocation? What is there to say that is new on the topic?"
Tonight I review two decidedly different books, and end up praising the conventional book, and dissing the unconventional book. Since I am not a fan of most conventional asset allocation, I am personally surprised by this result, but now let me explain why I reached this conclusion.
Where's the Meat?
I don't know about you, but personally, I hate books that talk big, and don't reveal any of the significant details of their theories. Can I figure out approximately how they did what they did?
Now, I am not looking for simple rule-based books either — "Follow this simple formula and make money!" But there should be enough to allow someone reasonably well-attuned to the markets to be able to say, "Yes, this is reasonable. I don't know all of the details, but I have some reasonable idea of how they did it."
I don't have that reasonable idea with The Flexible Investing Playbook. From what I can gather, they propose Dynamic Asset Allocation that is rather aggressive, trying to catch turns in markets. I say aggressive, not because they advocate large moves; they don't. But the efforts to catch turns is a difficult endeavor, and they don't give me enough grist for the mill, that I could set up my own approximate model for switching, if I wanted to do that.
One strength the book has is identifying alternative asset classes that can smooth the ride for investors. Sadly, they don't offer easy ways for investors to pursue these strategies.
On the other hand
7Twelve is static in asset allocation, urging investment in index funds (or active funds if you must), and rebalancing regularly. The book urges investment in 12 index funds, which gives a very diversified mix. The reason for the book's name, is that the 12 funds have a limited track record, lasting from 2000-2009. But an approximation to the 12, with only seven indexes, has a track record that goes from 1970-2009.
The twelve asset-subclasses are:
- Large, Medium and Small US Stocks
- Developed Foreign Stocks
- Emerging Foreign Stocks
- Natural Resources Stocks
- Commodities
- REITs
- Barclays's Aggregate Bonds
- Inflation-protected Bonds
- Foreign Bonds
- US Cash
And the seven asset classes are:
- US stocks
- Foreign stocks
- REITs
- Resources
- US bonds
- Foreign bonds
- US cash
And the book shows how in the past, an equal weighted blend provided better total performance, and even better when compared to return volatility.
One additional note, the clever cover art helps prove that seven is half of twelve at least if using Roman numerals. No wonder Rome fell.
In 7Twelve, there is a lot of "past is prologue." It ignore the factors that made 1970-2009 a special environment:
- General peace.
- Declining volatility
- Increasing globalization.
It also ignores that not everyone could follow such a strategy because there would be scaling problems. We would run out of small and midcap stocks, and emerging market stocks, and REITs and commodity stocks. Even commodities would run up in price, and then provide subpar returns.
But if few follow such a prescription, such diversification could be wise, so long as there is no major war. WW III can't happen, right?
Who would benefit from these books:
I am not sure who could benefit from The Flexible Investment Playbook. As for 7Twelve, those lacking a sound diversification strategy could benefit. The strategy is simple enough to implement.
Both books provide significant and clever commentary in investing, if that is enough to commend buying books.
If you want to, you can buy either here: 7Twelve: A Diversified Investment Portfolio with a Plan, or The Flexible Investing Playbook: Asset Allocation Strategies for Long-Term Success.
Full disclosure: I received each book from the publisher; I don't think I asked for either one.
If you enter Amazon through my site, and you buy anything, I get a small commission. This is my main source of blog revenue. I prefer this to a "tip jar" because I want you to get something you want, rather than merely giving me a tip. Book reviews take time, particularly with the reading, which most book reviewers don't do in full, and I typically do. (When I don't, I mention that I scanned the book. Also, I never use the data that the PR flacks send out.)
Most people buying at Amazon do not enter via a referring website. Thus Amazon builds an extra 1-3% into the prices to all buyers to compensate for the commissions given to the minority that come through referring sites. Whether you buy at Amazon directly or enter via my site, your prices don't change.

Public meeting Wednesday on GHS remediation plan
Updated 11:36 am, Wednesday, September 18, 2013
Education and town officials will hold a public meeting Wednesday night to discuss the town's draft remedial action plan for soil contamination at Greenwich High School. The meeting will be held in the high school's auditorium from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
In a statement, town and education officials said they intend the meeting to provide the Greenwich community an opportunity to learn about the planned remediation at the high school and ask questions about the proposed plan drafted by the consulting firm AECOM. That work is estimated to cost between $13 million and $20 million and take two to three summers to complete. The clean-up project would remove polychlorinated biphenyls and other contaminants found in the ground at the high school when site work began in July 2011 on the school's musical instruction and auditorium complex, which is under construction.
At the meeting, an open house forum will be held from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at which residents can ask questions directly of school, town and state officials. Poster displays will present information about the draft remediation plan and related environmental studies. Board of Education Chairman Leslie Moriarty, Superintendent of Schools William McKersie, Department of Public Works Commissioner Amy Siebert, MISA Building Committee Chairman Joe Ross and officials from the Environmental Protection Agency, state Department of Public Health, and state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection will be available during that time to discuss the clean-up plan and answer questions. Tables will be set up to address attendees' questions.
A presentation of the remediation plan will be made at 7 p.m., followed by a question-and-answer session. Those unable to make the meeting can still submit questions online using the following link:
To conclude the event, an open-house forum will continue in the Greenwich High foyer until 9 p.m.

Sully's Court: This is Tennessee's chance to beat Kentucky
A look at the games I want to see this weekend while considering all the NCAA implications.
(All games in order of tip-off not importance)
Kent State at Ohio: Ohio needs to assert itself with that loss to Akron still stinging. Always like to see Ohio point guard D.J. Cooper play.
Xavier at Dayton: Dayton hasnt won at Xavier since forever so they need this one at home.
BC at Florida State: Its never easy for the young Eagles, but another chance to grow up.
Virginia at North Carolina: This game will be a measuring stick for both teams.
Pitt at Marquette: This has to be a close game, right? Id be really surprised if it wasnt.
Kentucky at Tennessee: The Vols have improved and a victory over the hated Wildcats would be huge. On the other hand, we get to see how the Wildcats function without Nerlens Noel. BTW, interesting how John Calipari had to put Noels injury in context with his coaching career? Egocentric, to say the list.
Saint Josephs at LaSalle: Love the Big Five games.
Oklahoma at Oklahoma State: Based on its performance earlier this week, Okie State might be ready to break out. The Sooners would love to put the kibosh on that.
Purdue at Indiana: Its as big a rivalry as there is, dont sell the Boilers short. Brings back memories. I watched this matchup in a bar in Indianapolis last winter with the place packed and split down the middle. Great fun.
Army at Navy: As far as rivalries go, it doesnt get more intense than this even if it isnt football.
Creighton at Evansville: The Bluejays, a personal favorite, have fallen apart. They need to refocus on the road against an opponent that can beat them.
Butler at Fordham: Just need to see how the Bulldogs are doing without Andrew Smith. They didnt fare well against Charlotte the other night.
Colorado State at Air Force: Love the Mountain West. I think Air Force could be the most underrated team in the country. Colorado State is unbeatable at home, but defending its first national ranking in 59 years is going to be difficult in this game.
Georgia State at George Mason: Just want to see GaState freshman R.J. Hunter, who torched Northeastern a few weeks ago.
Western Illinois at South Dakota State: A big, big Summit League game, but also a chance to see South Dakotas great guard Nate Wolters.
Saint Bonaventure at Richmond: Im predicting three overtimes.
Temple at UMass: Hopefully, the Minutemen can recover from that disastrous second half against VCU Thursday night. Hours before that, the Owls had an inexplicable home loss to Duquesne, which prompted a great quote from coach Fran Dunphy: Were a good team, just not good enough. Id say this is a must-win for both teams.
Duke at Maryland: Since this is in College Park, it could be interesting.
Charlotte at Saint Louis: I believe Saint Louis is the best team in the A10. Charlotte continues to exceed expectations.
Murray State at Eastern Illinois: I cant believe how far the Racers, another personal favorite, have fallen. They lost to SIU Edwardsville Thursday night. Unacceptable. They should win here, but Eastern is coached by Jay Spoonhour, son of the great Charlie Spoonhour. Its his first season and its been a rocky one, but based on the little bit Ive seen I think he can coach and will have great success in the future.
Baylor at Kansas State: Big stakes for both these teams. K State cannot afford to lose this home game.
Princeton at Harvard: Its clear these are the two best teams in the Ivy League. Harvard has to hold serve at home.
Texas at Kansas: The Longhorns have point guard Mych Kabongo back from suspension and it should help make this competitive.
Arizona State at Colorado: The Buffs beat Arizona Thursday night and will try to make it a home sweep of the desert schools.
San Diego State at UNLV: Another tremendous Mountain West matchup. San Diego State wont be intimidated on the road. Inconsistent Vegas needs to protect home turf.
Ohio State at Wisconsin: Winner gets to dance at center court (like Minnesota did after beating the Badgers Thursday night). The Buckeyes could really use this one.
Minnesota at Iowa: After the big victory over Wisconsin, the Gophers need to take care of business on the road. It wont be easy.
Miami at Clemson: The Hurricanes are tremendous to watch, theyre playing great team basketball.
Illinois at Northeastern: The meeting of underachievers, but that can sometimes be a recipe for a good game.
