The Huddleston Deluxe 6" Weedless Trout has all the action of the original, just in a smaller, weedless package. Designed by one of the premier lure designers on the West Coast, Ken Huddleston, the Huddleston Deluxe Trout 6" is an extremely versatile bait combining uncanny realism and a subtle swimming action with the correct movement and wobble, the Huddleston Deluxe will entice strikes from even the wariest of bass hiding in the thickest structure.
The soft, hollow head that compresses upon the strike to expose a large, heavy-duty jig hook just in front of the bait's dorsal fin. While fishing, the hook sits in a small recess atop the bait. No detail has been overlooked on this bait. Even the line tie on the lure is recessed in the plastic on the nose of the bait to ensure weedlessness.
The Huddleston Deluxe 6" comes in two different rates of fall, 5 and 12. These numbers represent the approximate depth (in feet) the bait will run on a slow, steady retrieve.

Comments: complete waste of money. everyone of these ive bought runs sideways. ive never had problems with the openhook huds but the weedless ones suck, sure its weedless and wont get hung up but a sideways swimbait wont catch crap so who cares
Comments: Not Happy. Swims sideways. Tried several times to "tune" it. Shouldn't have to "tune" a $17 lure.
From: SB in SoCal
Comments: this bait is killer caught one two pounder and had 4 hook ups and alot of hits no running sideways a little hard to set the hook the way the hook is placed on the bait but its a great bait
From: el califas
Comments: This is an awsome swimbait. I don't know what all you you guys are talking about the bait running sideways. Mine swims perfectly straight. The trout color is really good and swims super realistic on a slowroll. The 6 inch is a big step from the 4 inch weedless shad. Its not that much bigger in lenght, but the girth and height is a lot bigger. Overall this is a great buy. I recommend them. forget the castaic and all the other brands. This is the way to go!!!!!!!Hudds all day baby!!
From: Jason: USA
Comments: I look at this bait like a refined Mission Fish. Its great at getting into tough places and generating strikes from fish that don't get hit as hard by the usual swimbaits. But you hookup ratio will be about 50/50, because the hook isn't exposed. The best thing you can do is up your gear to a broomstick. The 6" Hudd throws great on a rod like the Dobyns 795, but for this bait you need something stout like an OKuma 711 H or XH. Use braid with a leader or straight flouro, rub some scent on to make'em hold on a bit long, and don't hesitate. Hit back hard and fast when they eat it, or they'll get the best of you.
Comments: Threw this bait today. Got tons of hits from big bass. but i only hooked 1 of 8 ); lol. Can someone help me. Do you wait a couple seconds to set it or do you set it immediately?
Comments: I had one swim sideways to. Try tuning it it helped me. i didnt know you could until tackle warehouse customer service told me
Comments: I have had a few run sideways too, didn't matter how slow or fast I realed them and the fins where straight. I tried sticking nail weights in the belly, sometimes helped, sometimes not. They tear rather easy too after a few fish and some hot days, better buy a ton of mendit or hudd bond.
Comments: I BOUGHT TWO OF THESE BAITS AND THEY BOTH RUN SIDEWAYS..I HOPE IT WAS JUST A FLUKE WITH THE BAITS I BOUGHT
From: Cameron: CO
Comments: Super weedless, sits upright on th bottom, ROF 12 doesn't dig nose first into the bottom (a good thing for muck, algea) gets tons of hits, gets larger bass, and I have about a 70% hook up ratio here in the midwest. Have had a few that don't swim upright though...
From: Robert: Davenport
Comments: some of the best baits there are and they look perfect
From: Sam: Mass
Comments: i own many huddleston swimbaits and have been throwing them with great sucess this swimbait is awesome just make sure you use a stout rod as its hard to set the hook with a normal swimbait rod. for most swimbits i use an okuma big bait rod 711H but for this i like to use my flipping stick.
From: Ryan: Maryland, USA
Comments:This swimbait in the (baby bass color) looks great also totally weedless, that is great for the south because we have a lot of structure in our lakes, can't wait to try it out! TW is my go to place for all the new tackle. Thanks guys

By DARREL LEAMASTERCastle Valley Special Service District Director
We tolerated cold winter days with snow laying on the ground most of the winter thinking that at least we would have plenty of water next summer. Now we find out the month of March played a mean trick on us. The warm dry days in March were so enjoyable after the cold winter, but they were a disaster to the mountain snow pack. Much of the mountain snow disappeared by evaporating or melting and soaking into the ground without providing much run off to the streams and reservoirs.
On March 1, the snow water equivalent on our watershed was 97 percent of average and on April 1, it had dropped to 48 percent of average. March really was harmful to our snow pack.
We lost so much of the mountain snow pack that we are now facing water shortages this summer worse than last year. April 1 is considered to be the date of the maximum snow accumulation in the mountains. After April 1, the snow levels begin declining and continue to go down until all of it is melted. A comparison of the snow water equivalents on April 1, this year and last year show that we have much less water this year and we are much lower than the average.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) makes predictions for the April to July stream flows. These stream flow forecasts are based upon the snow pack, soil moisture and other factors. Their forecasts show less runoff this year than last year. These forecasts are as follows:
The lower stream flow forecasts mean that we will have less water than we had last year. This means that the secondary irrigation systems will have restrictions again this year. The restrictions will be at least as tight as they were last year. Each city will determine their own restrictions, but don't plan on watering during the hot daylight hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and expect to be limited to watering twice per week. Each city will notify their residents as to the specific restrictions that will be put in place.
The high hopes that we all had last winter for a good water year were all lost in March. March truly was disaster for the mountain snow pack as the drought continues.

Steven Tyler Called the Today Show Audience His 'Little Fucks' While On-Air
[There was a video here]
Steven Tyler and those other guys from Aerosmith made an appearance on The Today Show this morning to promote their new album Music From Another Dimension. Within the same three minutes, Tyler managed to forget which morning show he was actually on, shouting "Good morning, America!" and then addressed the crowd as "my little fucks" while still on-air. Today-as Al Roker noted more than once-was the first time that Aerosmith had ever appeared on a morning TV show.
In case you were wondering, Aerosmith's new album will feature the songs "LUV XXX," "Love Her A Lot," and "Can't Stop Loving You (featuring Carrie Underwood)" and can be downloaded for free on the internet (but still probably shouldn't be).

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Isaiah 40:18-31
Thus says the LORD: To whom then will you liken God, or what likeness compare with him? The idol! a workman casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold, and casts for it silver chains. He who is impoverished chooses for an offering wood that will not rot; he seeks out a skilful craftsman to set up an image that will not move.
Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in; who brings princes to nought, and makes the rulers of the earth as nothing.
Scarcely are they planted, scarcely sown, scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth, when he blows upon them, and they wither, and the tempest carries them off like stubble.
To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? Says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power not one is missing.
Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, "My way is hid from the LORD, and my right is disregarded by my God"? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary, his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Mughal art and architecture
IntroductionMughal art and architecture, a characteristic Indo-Islamic-Persian style that flourished on the Indian subcontinent during the Mughal empire (1526–1857). This new style combined elements of Islamic art and architecture, which had been introduced to India during the Delhi Sultanate (1192–1398) and had produced great monuments such as the Qutb Minar, with features of Persian art and architecture. Mughal monuments are found chiefly in N India, but there are also many remains in Pakistan. This article discusses these distinctive forms of art and architecture as they developed under a succession of Mughal emperors.

The Hurricanes host the Highlanders in what could be a high-scoring affair in Wellington on Saturday.
The Hurricanes host the Highlanders in what could be a high-scoring affair in Wellington on Saturday.
With the 'Canes now officially out of the running for a spot in the play-offs – after last weekend's 34-22 defeat to the Chiefs – both these sides will only have pride to play for.
But despite another season of missing out on the knockout stages of the competition, Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett wants to use this fixture and next weekend's clash against the Crusaders – their last match of the season – to build on positives which he identified in that loss to the Chiefs.
"What we got out of last week was for the first time our defence," he told Fairfax Media.
"We got ourselves, in terms of dominant tackles, up to 15 per cent. We've averaged about eight over the year and it's something we've worked hard at through the June window.
"We've also talked about holding onto and maintaining ball. Last week we had more than seven rucks on seven occasions which is really high.
"That came out of detail in the carry and in support play and having that urgency. What we want to get out of it is more of that, but even better stats.
"As you saw last week when we hold onto the ball we score tries. We scored three last week and against even the greatest defences if you hold onto the ball eventually they will break."
The Highlanders will also be working on reaching an important goal over the next couple of weeks. That is to climb off the bottom of the table by claiming a win over the 'Canes and beating the Rebels in their final match next weekend.
They are currently on 22 points from 14 matches while the Kings, who are in second last place on the table, have 22 points from the same number of games.
Things have not gone according to plan for coach Jamie Joseph and his troops in 2013. In their last match – a 40-12 loss to the Crusaders in Dunedin – they had nine All Blacks in Ben Smith, Tamati Ellison, Hosea Gear, Colin Slade, Mose Tuiali'i, Jarrad Hoeata, Brad Thorn, Andrew Hore and Tony Woodcock in their starting XV while two other internationals – Ma'a Nonu and Aaron Smith – on the bench.
Nonu will not be in action for the rest of the season after a receiving a three-week ban for a dangerous tackle on Ryan Crotty while Hoeata will also be on the sidelines this weekend due to suspension. Despite their lack of success, don't expect the Highlanders to deviate from their free-running game-plan but the 'Canes who also like to play expansively, will hold a psychological edge over their visitors as they won the last two matches between these sides.
From 20 previous encounters, the Hurricanes have won 12 times and the Highlanders on eight occasions.
Prediction: Although there will be lots of tries from both sides, the Hurricanes are more disciplined on defence.Hurricanes to win by eight points!
Super head-to-head: Hurricanes captain Conrad Smith has been New Zealand's leading outside centre for quite some time and his duel with Highlanders stalwart Tamati Ellison will be one of the highlights of this clash. Both are slippery customers, on attack, which means their defence will also play a major role if they want to guide their respective sides to victory.
Hurricanes: 15 James Marshall, 14 Alapati Leiua, 13 Conrad Smith, 12 Reynold Lee-Lo, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Beauden Barrett, 9 TJ Perenara, 8 Victor Vito, 7 Karl Lowe, 6 Faifili Levave, 5 James Broadhurst, 4 Jeremy Thrush, 3 Ben May, 2 Ash Dixon, 1 Ben Franks.

Highlanders:15 Ben Smith, 14 Kade Poki, 13 Shaun Treeby, 12 Tamati Ellison, 11 Hosea Gear, 10 Colin Slade, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Mose Tuiali'i , 7 Elliot Dixon, 6 TJ Ioane, 5 Josh Bekhuis, 4 Brad Thorn (c), 3 Ma'afu Fia, 2 Liam Coltman, 1 Tony Woodcock.

A new Cato video examines the federal government's credit rating, which was just downgraded by Standard & Poor, and explains that Washington has a debt problem because it has a spending problem:
Downsizing Blog
Fights Over Military Spending Next
The legislation signed by President Obama on Tuesday, as a solution to the debt ceiling debate, includes the possibility of cuts to military spending. But as Chris Preble points out, the legislation guarantees no defense cuts. Republicans will try to dump all the required cuts on non-defense areas. And the White House has already distanced itself from the prospect of any real defense budget cuts, as did Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta. Both support only the first round of cuts, which will at best halt Pentagon growth at roughly inflation.
Solve the FAA Problem by Privatization
Everyone agrees that it's rather stupid for a federal funding dispute to idle about 70,000 workers on airport-related construction. Just as absurd, there have been 20 stop-gap funding bills passed for the FAA since 2007. News stories are digging into the political disputes surrounding the FAA, but they aren't addressing the root problem.
Budget Deals and Tax Increases
Centrist and liberal columnists are lamenting the lack of tax increases in the debt deal. But the hollowness of the deal itself provides a good justification for Republicans to oppose all tax increases in such bipartisan deals.
Debt Deal to Slow the Economy?
The Washington Post reports that spending cuts in the budget deal threaten to slow the economy. The article quotes a number of economists who seem to harbor a rather extreme Keynesian bias in their thinking.
Debt Deal: Spending in Perspective
The following chart looks at total projected federal spending according to the Congressional Budget Office's adjusted March baseline and its score of the debt deal. The chart only considers the reduction in outlays resulting from the deal's cap on discretionary spending, which the CBO says will save $917 billion over the next ten years. It does not consider the $1.2-$1.5 trillion in future "deficit reduction" that Dan Mitchell discusses here.
Budget Deal Doesn't Cut Spending
Republicans and Democrats have come together on a "historic" budget deal that cuts federal spending by more than $2 trillion over 10 years. The Washington Post's lead story calls the cuts "sharp" and "severe."
However, the budget deal doesn't cut federal spending at all.
Boehner's New Plan Doesn't Cut Spending
House Speaker John Boehner has revised his budget plan in response to an unfavorable analysis by the CBO. The CBO has examined Boehner's new plan and finds that it would cut spending by $917 billion over 10 years. Of the total, only $761 billion would be cuts to programs. The rest of the savings would be from reduced interest costs.
Close My Post Office
The USPS is proposing to close 3,700 post office locations across the country, as mail volume falls and the agency is losing billions of dollars.
Boehner Plan Doesn't Cut Spending
House Speaker John Boehner is scrambling to revise his budget plan after the CBO found that it would only cut spending by $850 billion, not the $1.2 trillion promised.

With two of the final six facing elimination, who's left to sing next week?
At the top of The Voice results show Tuesday, Team Blake Shelton, Team CeeLo Green and Team Adam Levine had two players each (Christina Aguilera's team was already eliminated). When two more players were sent home Tuesday night, was another coach out of the game?
RECAP: Monday's performances
Of course, we couldn't find out who was sent home until contenders and special guests performed, Carson Daly grilled the coaches and the top vote-getters advanced, one by one, to the semifinals.
To kick off the show, Ne-Yo took the stage with Amanda Brown for Let Me Love You. After Amanda out-sang Ne-Yo, and Ne-Yo out-danced Amanda, they reconciled in a sexy embrace.
Fun fact learned from Carson Daly's interviews with the coaches: CeeLo is the only coach who pressed his button for everyone who made it to the Top 10.
Terry McDermott and Trevin Hunte joined forces for Feel Again by OneRepublic. Though they both sounded good individually, mixing their rock-and-roll and R&B-flavored voices together made for a confused cross-genre tune.
Emotional moment: Terry thanking his wife for getting him through his mother's death, and for giving birth to his beautiful son.
And then it was time for the first round of elimination. Team Blake's Terry made it.
Performance time! Amanda returned to the stage, this time with Cassadee Pope for Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway. Cassadee got to show off her punk voice on the high notes. "Well, that was nice," said Carson after the song.
Second singer to advance: Team CeeLo's Trevin.
Back to the stage, Matchbox Twenty slowed it down with Overjoyed. Nicholas David and Trevin Hunte joined Rob Thomas, who mentored Team CeeLo a few weeks back, for a few bars.
In the video confessional, the finalists made fun of the coaches, especially Adam for wearing expensive T-shirts. "Very cute and well done," said Carson of the video.
Third singer through: Team Blake's Cassadee.
Another duet: Melanie Martinez and NIcholas David sang Fiona Apple's Criminal, a song Christina recommended for Melanie on Monday night. A solid song from the disparate duo.
Then, Carson announced the first person to be sent home: Team Adam's Melanie.
That left Team CeeLo's Nicholas and Team Adam's Amanda.
Nicholas made it through, which meant Amanda was sent home. It also meant Team Adam was out of singers.
Team Blake and Team CeeLo's performances continue Monday (8 ET/PT, NBC).

Flames All-Time Top 10 Draft Picks: #6 Gary Roberts
Ryan Pike
January 08 2013 04:20PM
If there was one event that cemented the stellar reputation of general manager Cliff Fletcher, it was the 1984 NHL Entry Draft. The names the Flames acquired that summer ranged from solid contributors to future hall-of-famers: Gary Suter (180th overall), Jiri Hrdina (159th overall), Brett Hull (117th overall), Paul Ranheim (38th overall), and the best pick of them all (for the Flames purposes anyways), first rounder Gary Roberts (12th overall).
Pugilist and Sniper
Before he was a fitness and diet guru, Gary Roberts was a great hockey player. Jumping to the NHL two years after the draft, he became part of an up-and-coming core of players that included Joe Nieuwendyk up the middle and Theo Fleury on the right side. Throughout the 1990s, that trio basically encapsulated the Calgary Flames. No matter how bad things got, the Flames always had that one great line of players.
Granted, that did not last, but it was enough to get the club its first (and only) championship in 1989.
On the ice, Roberts was a force to be reckoned with. He had over 200 penalty minutes in his first five full seasons (and complemented that grit with 20 goal seasons in four of those five years). Oddly enough, his best statistical season with Calgary was the club's worst – he put up 90 points and scored 53 goals in 1991-92, best known as the only season he spent in town when the team missed the playoffs.
The Decline and Rebirth
Roberts' rough-and-tumble style eventually caught up with him, as he developed a nagging and recurring neck problem. Due to the Flames' insane travel schedule, Roberts requested a trade following the 1996-97 season. The Flames shipped him and goaltender Trevor Kidd to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for forward Andrew Cassels and future Conn Smythe winner Jean-Sebastian Giguere. Cassels eventually left the Flames as a free agent and Giguere was sent to the Ducks for a draft pick.
At the time, there was a sense Roberts wasn't going to stick around the NHL for too much longer owing to his chronic injury issues. In fact, he had sat out the year before being dealt to Carolina, having announced his retirement from hockey at just 30 years old. His unlikely return, and subsequent 20 goal, 49 point effort in 61 games, nevertheless showed he had a bit of gas left in the tank.
And by a bit, I of course mean "a lot". Owing to his new found obsession with fitness, nutrition and training, Roberts would ironically go on to play another 10 seasons in the league, eventually retiring in 2008-09 at 43 years of age.
Gary Roberts was all that you hope a first-round pick will turn out to be. The best player in Flames history to wear the number 10, he put up 505 points with the club (8th in franchise history), won a Stanley Cup and left the team gracefully. He also pummeled a lot of the bad guys on a nightly basis to boot.
The Rankings
|Gary Roberts
Flames top-10 Picks of All Time
- 6 - Gary Roberts
- 7 - Hakan Loob
- 8 - Mike Vernon
- 9 - Dion Phaneuf
- 10 - Sergei Makarov
I think Roberts is the reason a lot of people are constantly going inexplicably gaga over marginally decent prospects like Mark McNeill and Curtis Lazar. Everyone wants to find that special power forward, so they see them in every draft.
January 08 2013, 04:37PM
Yeah. Everyone dreams their guy is going to be Roberts or Milan Lucic (cough Mitch Moroz cough). Of course, a lot of guys just prove to be marginal grinders at best.
January 08 2013, 05:42PM
Because Gary was probably the absolute best player available at the #12 overall draft position, he belongs on this list. With the benefit of hindsight, in '84 anyone would take Mario first overall. But after him a strong case could be made for Roberts as the 2nd best player drafted that summer(Kirk Muller was OK too). Great Pick.
I was a privileged patron at the Dome the night that Gary Roberts returned from his rehab on his neck injury. I recall that he scored a hat trick against Buffalo.
He is a player that I admire. He always strove to improve and make himself better. That neck injury and his concerted effort to come back from it likely resulted in his deeper dedication to training and fitness, something that has become his trademark.
I always thought it was a joke that Sidney Crosby wore the C for the Penguins when Gary Roberts was still there. He was the true leader on that team - experience, grit, heart, and character. Crosby didn't learn much from him.
Good all around guy and player. Definitely belongs on this list.
So completely off topic but this is from Freidmans blog post:
18. Mike Milbury on John Gaudreau: "He's Datsyukian." Gaudreau's got a lot of fans who hope he can take those skills to the next level.
If Milbury is high on Gadreau that means he is going to suck :(

Spaghetti squash with veal meatballs, Maudite and San Marzano tomato sauce
Serves 6
- 1 spaghetti squash
- 1 bottle 12 oz. of Maudite
- Olive Oil
- 2 sweet onions
- 1 zucchini
- 5 large white mushrooms
- 12 cloves of garlic
- a sprig of fresh thyme
- 1 can of San Marzano tomatoes
- 1 lb of ground veal
- 1 tbsp Worcester sauce
- 1 tbs Dijon mustard
- 1 head of lettuce
- 1 egg
- Caesar dressing (or fresh, see below)
- Hot sauce to taste
- Rosemary to taste
- Salt and pepper
- Chop all of your vegetables and mince the garlic while the oven is warming to 375F.
- Cut your spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and core the seeds as you would a pumpkin.
- Fill a roasting pan with about a 1/4 inch of water, and lay the squash halves in flesh side down, seal it tight with foil, and let it roast for 40 minutes.
- In a tall pot, on medium high heat add 4 tbsp of oil and about 3/4 of the onions that you have chopped. Sauté these for 5 to 7 minutes until they have become slightly translucent, then add the zucchini, mushrooms, 3/4 of the garlic, and the thyme. Mix this up well and continue to sauté.
- Mince the remaining onions, and mix them in a fresh bowl with the remaining garlic, mustard, Worcester, rosemary, salt, pepper, hot sauce, egg and the veal. Use your hands to ensure and even and smooth mixture until you can easily create dense meatballs.
- Get a large sauté pan warming on medium high heat with oil, place the meatballs one at a time in the pan and let them cook. Turn the heat down to medium after 5 minutes, and turn the meatballs.
- Add 1/2 cup of the Maudite to the veggies and let it reduce off slightly. After 5 to 7 minutes, add the can of tomatoes. The tomatoes will be soft but whole, so with an immersion hand blender puree the entire mixture together creating a smooth sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste, and then blend again. Turn the heat on your pot to low and let it cook away.
- Remove the squash from the oven, uncover, and let them cool on a cutting board flesh side up. This may take about 10 minutes, so lay a dry cloth or a few paper towels next to the squash, and tend to the meatballs. When they are ready add them directly to the sauce.
- The other thing you can add now to the sauce if you want is some cheese. Anything will work.
- When the steam has stopped pouring off of the squash, with a fork and an oven mitt (they will still be hot) peal back the flesh lengthwise along the squash – you will see it very easily split into spaghetti like strands. Place all the now forked spaghetti'd squash on to the towel to dry a bit. They will be full of water, and if you don't pat them dry slightly they will dilute your rich tomato sauce too much.
- With that done, simply add the spaghetti'd squash to your sauce, mix and let rest at low heat. Now we can prepare the Ceasar. Using any type of lettuce you prefer, and a dressing of your choice, create your own salad to accompany the meal and place it at the ready for hungry guests. If you want to make your own Caesar dressing it is easy. Blend together 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, 3/4 cup of olive oil, 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 1 clove of garlic, salt, pepper and splashes of hot sauce to taste. Thats it. If you have anchovies a couple in there will really kick it up a notch.
- The spaghetti squash pasta and meatballs is done now and you are ready to serve dinner. The only thing you are missing is a nice snifter or tulip of the Maudite. The Maudite has a rich caramel malt flavor to it with tingling spices and a smooth but crisp carbonation. Touches of herbs and earth along with a powerful aromatic aroma make this beer a perfect match for the pasta and veal!

By The Associated Press
NEW YORK — David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays and knuckleballer R.A. Dickey of the New York Mets won baseball's Cy Young awards on Wednesday.
Price barely beat out 2011 winner Justin Verlander for the American League prize in one of the closest votes ever. Dickey was an easy choice for the NL honor in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
The 38-year-old Dickey became the first knuckleball pitcher to win the Cy Young Award, an achievement mentors such as Hall of Famer Phil Niekro are quite proud of.
"I am not a self-made man by any stretch of the imagination," Dickey said on MLB Network. "This is a victory for all of us."
Runner-up two years ago, Price was the pick this time by the slimmest of margins. He received 14 of 28 first-place votes and finished with 153 points to 149 for Verlander, chosen first on 13 ballots.
Other than a 1969 tie between Mike Cuellar and Denny McLain, it was the tightest race in the history of the AL award.

Skip to comments.Defense rests; Zimmerman won't testify in murder trial
Posted on 07/10/2013 12:46:07 PM PDT by SopaterEdited on 07/10/2013 1:25:19 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
George Zimmermans defense team rested its case Wednesday, after using its final day of testimony to paint the neighborhood watch volunteer as a wimp who was getting pummeled when he shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense, at one point commandeering a mannequin introduced by prosecutors in order to re-enact its version of the fight. Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/07/10/zimmerman-defense-winding-down-case-wednesday/#ixzz2Yfzctpuu
Hope the jury comes back within 10 minutes. 15 max.
Let the looting begin.
What kind of joke did Zimmerman's stupid attorney rest with?
rebuttal witness time.
We got to get through closing argument deceits first.
There is still the prosecutions rebuttal witnesess, defense sur-rebuttal, closing arguments and final instructions to go through before the Jury retires to deliberate. They won't start deliberations until tomorrow at the earliest.
Pray for a major rainstorm in south and central Florida. The panhandle, I'm not to worried about. They are armed to the teeth.
Should do an over/under in minutes if the jury gets the case early Friday Afternoon.
Good... I haven't had a chance to LaL...
I'm in Ks, but better safe than sorry.
Of course, this should have never gone to trial in the first place. Self defense is just that.
In spite of George Zimmerman's vote for Obama, which he must now regret, he appears to be a good, decent man. I hope he's now seen the errors of liberalism and will join the Conservative movement to restore traditional American values.
Can someone tell me why some trials move this quickly, while other trials take years?
Lock and load.
Judge Nelson is "transgendered," right?
God I hate libtards.
This case is so open and shut if this jury has an IQ above 10 they should be back with a Not Guilty verdict in 5 minutes..if they are borderline stupid it will take them longer but this should have never been brought to trial..race baiters like the DOJ and Jackson and Sharpton wanted it
No, he's not.
This case is so open and shut if this jury has an IQ above 10 they should be back with a Not Guilty verdict in 5 minutes..if they are borderline stupid it will take them longer but this should have never been brought to trial..race baiters like the DOJ and Jackson and Sharpton wanted it
That depends if any of Eric Holder's people are on the jury...
What a battle ax.
Lets see now, over by Friday? = Riots through the weekend "For Trayvon"???
He should have taken the stand, I think he made a big mistake in not doing so.
I'll be damned if that judge doesn't look jut like Cousin Earl! Well, okay, he doesn't wear glasses...
Ugly is the best remark I can make of her.
What do you do with an elephant with 3 balls ? walk him and pitch to the Rhino
Hopefully the jury can git 'er done in the time it takes to play the long version of the soundtrack:
Is the jury sequestered?
I suspect he will be found guilty but this will be an appeal. The judge made some seriously bad calls.
If the jury was not present when she asked, she wasn't out of order. There have been criminal cases where a defendant didn't testify, was convicted, and then argued on appeal that "my lawyer didn't let me testify." So it's not uncommon for the trial judge to ask the defendant personally if he wants to testify, to preclude that kind of later argument.
Looks like John Gooodman
(1) The prosecution has very little evidence to offer, period.
(2) The defense was not allowed to offer much evidence because of judicial interference.
(3) If you are guilty, you file motion after motion to delay a verdict. If you are not guilty, you do not engage in stalling tactics.
They need to wrap this up before the NAACP can finish busing their rent-a-mobs to Orlando for the convention next week.
Prosecution has a couple of witnesses to rebut testimony from defense before this is over. It may all be over shortly.
Zimmerman is going to prison for a long time. Obama, Holder, Florida Governor Scott have invested too much time and effort for this not to happen.
The prosecution is going to bring in witnesses to rebutt some of the defense's witnesses.
If you had to draw a picture of an American liberal woman...That would be her
The fix is in. The judge asked GZ if he plans on testifying BEFORE the defense rested. That is unheard of as far as I know.
Give the leftist media its due. It's worked long and hard promulgating lies and misrepresentations in its quest to see Zimmerman behind bars for using a gun to defend himself against an unarmed, black, street thug wannabe.
You may be right... Here is a photo of Hal Smith (the town drunk Otis from Andy Griffith) in drag for comparison sake...
So it's not uncommon for the trial judge to ask the defendant personally if he wants to testify, to preclude that kind of later argument.
I thought the Jury was present. If the jury was present it would have been a different story.
You are right.
Judge stated defense & state had copies of jury insructions and she didn't. Who wrote these?
I can understand how Obama and Holder will fight for injustice. It's part and parcel of their very nature and is reflected in the entire corrupt cabal they've put into place.
But I don't get how Florida Governor Rick Scott is involved. From afar (here in Texas), he seems to embrace Conservative and Christian values. If that's so, how can he be on board with George Zimmerman being jailed?
My fear: The jury will convict on the lesser charge of manslaughter, unaware of the fact that in Florida manslaughter of a minor carries virtually the same sentence as second degree murder.
If she asked that with the jury present, she was WAY out of line, and probably committed reversible error.
He listened to his incompetent AG Pam Bondi and appointed a special prosecutor who is essentially a political animal. He should have let local authorities handle this as they would have any other potential crime, but he bowed to political and media pressure instead.
Awesome - I'm going to be in far north Wisconsin for the next 5 days..
Stay safe out there - if you're in a city.

Valero Energy Corporation
Valero Energy Corporation is a major source of Dirty Energy Money for Congress, with over $2.8 million in donations since 1999 and more than $250 million in the 112th Congress alone. As America's, and the world's, largest independent refiner, Valero is often front and center of regulatory battles over clean air and climate change.
In 2010, Valero was the ringleader of an attack on California's climate change legislation. Known as Proposition 23, the energy industry, led by Valero, spent millions of dollars urging Californian voters to suspend implementation of legislation that curtails greenhouse gas emissions. They failed when, in November 2010, voters defeated the proposition.
Valero is also at the center of the ongoing fight over the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. If the pipeline ever gets built, Valero will be its biggest customer and its Port Arthur refinery has invested billions of dollars to convert the heavy sour crude from Canada's tar sands primarily into diesel for export.
Valero has given 83% of its contributions to Republicans who have in this Congress proposed dozens of bills and amendments that would favor Valero. These include bills aimed at restricting the EPA's ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and several attempts to fast track permitting of the Keystone XL pipeline.Go to profile

By PAULA WELLNITZ
G.K. Chesterton's quotation, "If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly," makes sense when one realizes no one does anything perfectly. How often have you put off doing something because you cannot do it as well as you would like to; as well as you think someone else can do it; or it won't have the full effect you would like it to have?
Whether you think of your family, your local community or the world, this applies. We are continually faced with choices of doing things that will not result in the complete outcomes we'd like. For example-You don't teach your daughter to sew because you don't think you do it well yourself; You have time to do the church posters, but think it won't look professional; You are concerned about starving people in Africa, but do not write to your legislators because you feel you don't know what to say or it won't make any difference.
The one step taken to do something can set in motion a whole series of other, often hidden, things for a fuller, happier life for yourself and others. These are part of the surprises life gives us. But someone who must be able to do something perfectly or nearly so, keeps him/herself from having these surprises.
Perhaps you have heard of the "Butterfly Effect." This refers to the idea that when a butterfly flaps its wings, the energy of that moves a very small bit of air. Yet the addition of that to other air current sources brings about a storm in another part of the world unknown to that butterfly.
So take that chance. Complaining doesn't effect anything except to make all miserable. Try whatever seems important to do in your world. Even if it seems to have no effect on whatever or whomever else is involved, it will have an effect on you.

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (AP) — Democratic candidate for Congress Michelle Lujan Grisham is part of the next generation of college-educated, middle-class Latino congressional candidates. Unlike many of their early predecessors, the new Latino candidates don't come from labor backgrounds, and some are seeking seats outside of predominantly Hispanic districts.
They are the beneficiaries of civil rights gains, demographic changes and new congressional seats created by recent redistricting. They include a former astronaut, a medical doctor with three degrees from Harvard, college professors, attorneys and children of immigrants and civil rights pioneers.
Together they have the potential to make history as the largest class of Latinos ever to enter Congress, in the largest increase in seats held by Latinos in a single election. Depending on how many win, their numbers in the House of Representatives could bring the percentage of House seats held by Latinos nearly on par with their representation in the U.S. population. Latinos now number about 53 million in the U.S., about 17 percent of the population, with some 24 million eligible to vote.
"That diversity has been missing in Congress," said Lujan Grisham, 53, the granddaughter of the first Latino chief justice of New Mexico's Supreme Court and a distant relative of former New Mexico Republican Rep. Manuel Lujan, who held the seat she seeks.
While only about half of Latinos eligible to vote are expected to cast ballots, many are in battleground states that could help decide key races, including the race for the White House.
A total of 49 Latino candidates — 32 Democrats, 16 Republicans and one without a declared party as allowed under a new California law — are seeking House seats this year, according to the bipartisan National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials. Those numbers don't include Latinos running in third parties.
At least 27 are likely to win on Nov. 6, including 22 incumbents or Latinos who would replace other Latinos, NALEO said, and if they prevail in four additional, competitive races, the total could rise to as many as 31.
While campaigning, they not only speak of reforming immigration law, but also expanding college access, the future of Medicare, the economy and fighting terrorism.
"These are people who aren't political animals," said Arturo Vargas, NALEO's executive director. "They didn't start out in politics but instead, spent time in other professions after going to college at some of the nation's top universities."
Vargas said he thinks this crop of Latino candidates is less ideologically entrenched and ideally could help bridge some efforts at bipartisanship. Those who support immigration reform may make it easier to get an immigration bill passed.
Lujan Grisham faces former state Rep. Janice Arnold-Jones, a Republican, in New Mexico's 1st Congressional District. It was historically Republican until 2009.
"It's a generation on the rise," said Texas Democratic Rep. Charlie Gonzalez, retiring chairman of the Hispanic Congressional Caucus and son of the late Democratic Rep. Henry B. Gonzalez, one of the caucus' founders. "They are continuing what everyone before them started, but in their own way."
Gonzalez said when his father was in the House, between 1961 and 1999, Congress regularly had only a handful of Hispanics as representatives. "It would be amazing if we could get to 30, when there used to be only a few I could count on one hand," he said.
Juan Gomez-Quinones, a history professor at the University of California at Los Angeles, said previous generations of Latinos who were sent to Congress came mostly from the southwest and had trouble navigating East Coast-based power structures.
But population changes have meant more congressional seats in the southwest. "They're no longer outsiders," said Gomez-Quinones, author of "Chicano Politics 1940-1990."
The new generation "is a sign that the Latino vote, Latino candidates, the makeup of the demography of the Latino candidates is changing with the times," said Maria Cardona, a Washington-based Democratic consultant.
It also reflects the youth of the Hispanic population, whose median age is 27, compared to 37 for the nation overall, while capturing the integration of children of Latino immigrants into American society. Three of the candidates in California are U.S.-born children of immigrants who overcame poverty and highly successful in their careers.
All three House districts in New Mexico, the most Hispanic state in the U.S., have Latino candidates. California is expected to nearly double the number of Latinos in its congressional delegation from 6 to 11.
In Florida, a state with three Republican Latinos in Congress, has one competitive race between Rep. David Rivera and Democratic challenger Joe Garcia in the state's 26th District.
Los Angeles City Councilmember Tony Cardenas and California state Sen. Juan Vargas, both Democrats, are running in open seats where Latino voters have a strong chance to determine the outcome.
Two Democrats, Jose Hernandez and Raul Ruiz, and a Republican, former California Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, are running in districts where they must also win non-Latino votes. All three are children of farmworkers and at least one immigrant parent with "rags-to-riches" stories that appeal across communities and parties.
Hernandez, 50, is challenging Rep. Jeff Denham, a Republican, in California's newly created 10th Congressional District. He stresses his educational background and dreams of going to space as a child.
"I'm not a politician," he says in the ad. "I'm an astronaut and an engineer."

Found 4 Mentors.
Mentor In: German, Soup
Why I want to be mentor: I have made my repertoire of German recipes over and over again, always with delighted complimentals
Lesson Learned: I cook with the freshest ingredients possible. I stick with authentic recipes, being careful not to \"Americanize\" the German food that I grew up with-- I did live there early in my childhood, too.
Tip: Read the recipe careful and prepare your ingredients ahead of time, so you don't find out you're missing something when it's too late!
Mentor In: German
Why I want to be mentor: I want to share my passion for this type of cooking. It is like art to me. When I cook this way and serve it to happy guests that makes me happy. I also can and preserve a lot of my own food so that gives me a deeper sense of appreciation on how I was taught to cook this way.
Lesson Learned: Good things take time! Especially when cooking \"amish\" style. Amish do not have microwaves so there isn\'t much room for short cuts when cooking this way, however I have found a few tricks of my own that I am able to incorporate. If you have patience, this type of cuisine is outstanding!
Tip: Use, real cheese, use real potatoes, use fresh produce and grow your own if possible.
Central PA
Mentor In: German
Why I want to be mentor: I noticed no one had taken this category, I waited to see if someone more experienced would take it, but hated to see no one as a mentor.
Lesson Learned: Be open minded and try new things. You might be surprised.
Tip: Don't be afraid to adjust recipes to your taste!
Mentor In: German
Why I want to be mentor: I figured, ppl. would like to get help from an \"insider\" :-)
Lesson Learned: German Food can be very high in fat and calories. I have learned to subsitute ingredients to create healthier meal choices.
Tip: Just ask. I have too many to list.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
The Emery High Lady Spartans believe they are ready to play in this week's opening round of the Utah State 2-A girls basketball tournament after a pair of blowout wins last week to close out the region season. Emery defeated Grand on Tuesday night in Castle Dale 52-20 and then traveled to Wasatch Academy on Thursday night and defeated the Lady Tigers 72-31 in a game that was not this close.
Emery will now face Rockwell this Friday evening at Orem High School in the first round. The game is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. Emery closes the season with an 18-3 record while Rockwell possesses a record of 6-15. While it is always tough to use score comparisons as a basis to figure who will win and lose, it is interesting that Rockwell barely defeated Wasatch Academy three weeks ago 44-41 after having lost to them earlier in the season.
Senior Hannah Dyer was the leading scorer in the two games this week, as she often is. Dyer scored 16 against Grand and followed that up with 27 against the Tigers. Ashlynn Allred gave the Lady Spartans a great one two punch as she scored 9 and 17 points in the two games.
At Wasatch Academy Emery led 29-12 after the first quarter and then extended the lead in the second period by winning that quarter 23-3. They led at the half 52-15. As I said, the game wasn't that close. Also scoring in the game were Camrey Johnson with 8 points, Bailey Rasmussen with 6, Ashton Bell with 5, Aniston Curtis with 4 and Bayler Griffin and Lexi Huntington with 2 points each. Kelsie Cox scored one point.
In the Grand game, Bell and Johnson each scored 5, Huntington, Cox and Rasmussen each scored 4, Paytn Jeffs scored 3 and Cassidy Labrum scored 2. Emery led in this game 39-9 at the half as this also wasn't a close game.
After finishing second at last year's 2-A tournament, the Lady Spartans are expected to give everyone else a run for their money in games this season. Without coming right out and saying the Lady Spartans are the favorite, you can take it at face value and come out and support this team in their journey. The state tourney will continue the following week Feb. 27-March 1 at the Sevier Valley Center in Richfield.

Jones glad to have Vidic back
Manchester United defender Phil Jones expects the return of captain Nemanja Vidic from injury to provide a huge boost over the festive period.
- Related Content
- Profiles
Vidic made his first appearance since September in the second half of Saturday's 3-1 win over Sunderland at Old Trafford as United maintained their six-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
The Serbian's recent knee injury was the latest in a string of fitness problems which have limited the centre-back to just 14 appearances since August 2011.
Fellow defender Jones believes the skipper's return will lift Sir Alex Ferguson's side and says he is relishing the added competition for a spot in the team.
He said: "It's a fantastic boost for us to have Nemanja back. He's a fantastic player, a great captain and it's important he's back for the busy festive period.
"I enjoy the competition for places, it's great to have a number of players battling for the same position.
"It keeps people on their toes and keeps us fighting for the shirt.
"We see it in training - the sessions are intense, there's a good atmosphere."
