Ortiz threatening to jump to the Yankees
David Ortiz is threatening to go play for the Yankees.
"That's something I gotta think about. I've been here on the Red Sox a long time, and I've seen how everything goes down between these two ballclubs," he said in an interview with ESPN's Colleen Dominguez. "It's great from what I hear. It's a good situation to be involved in. Who doesn't want to be involved in a great situation where everything goes the right way?"
Ortiz hit .309 with a .953 OPS this season. He had 29 home runs and 96 RBIs. But would the Yankees actually want him? Ortiz turns 36 next month and has played a total of 12 games in the field the last three seasons.
Jorge Posada, a pending free agent who is likely to retire, was the primary DH for the Yankees this season. But in 37-year-old Derek Jeter and 36-year-old Alex Rodriguez, the Yankees have two players who could see increasing time as the DH.
Jeter was the DH 10 times this season, the most in his career. Rodriguez also was the DH 10 times. Mark Teixeira, who will be 32 in April, was the DH nine times.
In addition, the Yankees have young slugger Jesus Montero, a defensively challenged catcher whose primary contribution could be as the DH next season.
As for the Red Sox, Ortiz said was "too much drama."
"I have been thinking about a lot of things. I don't know if I want to be part of this drama for next year," he said.
Given that the Red Sox are coming off consecutive third place finishes and are apparently beset with chemistry problems, it's uncertain to what degree the Red Sox will go in trying to retain Ortiz.

A rumored alliance with chains makes sense, but poses major challenges.
Retail stores have an Amazon problem. And Google has an Amazon problem. Maybe they can help each other. That's the logic behind rumors circulating online that Google will take orders for retail chains that the chains will then fulfill from their stores, perhaps even the same day.
There is plenty of motivation on both sides to construct an anti-Amazon strategy. Amazon.com Inc.'s online revenue has been growing at roughly 30-40% a year for several years, well ahead of e-commerce sales growth of15-16%, and far beyond store growth of 4-5%. Stores know they are losing sales to Amazon, and fear they will lose even more now that most consumer enter stores with access to Amazon.com and other online retail sites in their pockets, in the form of a smartphone.
Google faces its own challenge from Amazon. A Forrester Research report last year said that 30% of consumers surveyed in 2011 said they began their last shopping-related search at Amazon.com, versus only 13% at Google.com. In 2009, in answer to the same question, 18% said Amazon and 24% said Google. Google can't be happy with that trend.
So how can store-based retailers and Google jointly address their Amazon problem? The idea being circulated is that when a consumer searches for a product—for example, a toaster oven—Google will show results from stores near her, including the price they're charging and whether they have a particular toaster oven in stock. If she sees a toaster she likes at a nearby Target, she can click to buy it from Google, which will then handle payment. Target would deliver the toaster oven to her door, maybe even the same day.
It's a pretty slick idea, and if Google could sign up several major retail chains it could offer a lot of product for fast delivery, which could be appealing to many consumers.
But implementing such an idea would mean big operational issues for the retail chains—and pose a big strategic question for them.
Let's start with the operational issues. Stores aren't set up to deliver items to individual consumers, which means the retail chains would have to set aside space in at least some stores and train employees to pick and pack orders.
Then there's the cost of the delivery. Local courier services would be a likely option, and there's buzz among couriers about how they're acting as the conduit for same-day delivery from retail stores to online shoppers, according to Josh Dinneen, vice president of supply chain at Lasership Inc., an East Coast courier company. He says his company has tested the concept with several retailers and will be rolling out same-day delivery this spring with three retailers, which he declines to name.
But for the cost to be reasonable, Dineen says, the courier would have to pick up a larger number of orders from a relatively few pickup points to deliver in a relatively small area. In that kind of setting the courier's fee might be "mid-single digits," Dineen says. My guess is a delivery fee of $5-$8 is about the best a retailer could expect to pay. A recent Boston Consulting Group survey showed only affluent, young city dwellers have much interest in same-day delivery, and then only 28% of them. And they're willing to pay on average only $8.20. So the cost of delivery will be a pain point for retailers and Google.
Next problem: the store inventory must be accurate. Otherwise, the courier would show up at the store and the item wouldn't be there. Eric Best, CEO of online marketing company Mercent, tells me that's just what happened when a Mercent employee in the San Francisco area? participated in an eBay Now test of a same-day delivery service. The courier who delivered the product said he had to travel to two stores because the first store didn't have the item, though its inventory said otherwise. Improving inventory accuracy for thousands of stores would be expensive, and raising the safety stock level at those stores would be really expensive.
Then there's price. Many retail chains vary their prices by location, and the online price is not always the same as the one in the store. Which price will Google show, and will the consumer be unhappy if she finds that the price she paid was higher than what her neighbor paid when she went to the same chain's store in a nearby suburb?
Those are just some of the operational issues, and while they're pretty significant, there's also the big strategic issue. If this works—and it could if some big chains and Google invest heavily in the idea—then many more consumers will start their online shopping trips at Google. That would make the chains highly dependent on Google and give Google the power to raise the rates it charges for handling transactions. Would the chains have an alternative, after having invested so much in convincing consumers to start their shopping at Google?
I suspect Wal-Mart and Best Buy think Google already has too much power, and takes too much of their marketing budgets. Between their reluctance to become more dependent on Google and the sizable operational investments required, I suspect the retail chains will think long and hard before they go all in on this idea.
On the other hand, if they don't, they're left with their Amazon problem. The devil? Or the deep blue sea? Let's see which option the retail chains select.
P.S. We asked Google if there was anything to these online reports. Here's what a Google spokeswoman said: "We are always working to build a delightful shopping experience for users, in close partnership with retailers, and to empower businesses of all sizes to compete effectively. We will continue to work toward providing technology, tools and traffic to help power the retail ecosystem but have nothing to announce at this time."

NYSE Euronext's (NYX) Arca exchange isn't giving up the idea of paying market-making firms to spruce up trading in the surprisingly large number of all-but-unused ETFs.
The exchange operator recently re-filed a plan with regulators for a pilot program to let so-called lead market makers be paid cash incentives to create tighter markets in ETFs that don't trade very much. Critics don't like the idea of creating what they view as "artificial" liquidity, i.e., paying firms to make markets in ETFs they otherwise would ignore.
But proponents correctly note that investors won't even consider an otherwise useful ETF if they don't see it actively trading. Thus, the idea is to solve the problem by temporarily jump-starting a product that begins as a weakling.
As it turns out, the number of ETFs that don't trade much is … huge. The filing says that in the fourth quarter of 2012, there were 609 exchange-traded funds, notes and related stuff that traded fewer than 10,000 shares per day (consolidated average daily volume). That's about 40% of the entire market (not asset-weighted).
Of those, NYSE's filing shows that market quality — meaning tight spreads and low trading costs — is worst for funds that lack a lead market maker. An LMM has special responsibility to keep market quality at certain minimum standards.
NYSE reports that ETFs with with a lead market maker tending to the garden had a spread of 0.79% the quote size, versus a staggering 11.52% for those without. The gap becomes almost negligible once you get over 10,000 shares per day.
Pay particular attention to the black line, which reflects the spreads of orphaned, LMM-less ETFs:

Science Outreach Program Receives $20,000 Wells Fargo Grant
Wells Fargo has stepped up to help GCC address the question of how to get children motivated and excited by science. This is an ongoing educational issue in California, as school programs continue to be cut back even as demand for tech professionals rises. Glendale College has a very special program that brings in 5,000 area students per year to visit the Science Center and our state-of-the-art digital planetarium. This program is benefited by a $20,000 educational grant from Wells Fargo.
Children are taken on "An Afternoon with the Stars," where they visit other planets and fly through space through the 3-D optics of the planetarium's dome. Teachers are invited to bring their students to the Center for a one-hour planetarium presentation, and this has been a huge draw for 3rd and 5th grade classes since the California science standards prescribed the study of the solar system at those grade levels.
In addition to the planetarium presentation, students engage in a one-hour science activity so that theirs is a two to two-and-a-half hour visit. This program, launched in 2006, includes several activities for the teachers to choose from, and they are all hands-on, with kits provided by the Center, and all aligned with the California science standards. The planetarium presenters are faculty members of the college. The activities are led by the Science Center Director and three retired elementary school master teachers, who also handle all the reservations and the coordination with the schools.
Our data shows that 66 percent of our student visitors are from lower income families and school districts that are in critical need of science resources, which underscores the tremendous opportunity to provide a special incentive for the community's children to be inspired by science early in their education.
The Foundation is grateful for the efforts of Liz Chai-Chang, one of our Board Members, and Jonathan Weedman, of the Wells Fargo Foundation, for helping us to continue funding, through this generous $20,000 educational grant, this very special program that touches so many young lives.

Skip to comments.NRA ally Debbie Halvorson could win Jesse Jackson Jr.s Chicago seat
Posted on 01/27/2013 5:09:21 PM PST by Libloather
A white ex-congresswoman with an A rating from the National Rifle Association is the front-runner to replace former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. in a majority-black Chicagoland district with inner-city neighborhoods wracked by gun violence.
At first glance, Debbie Halvorson should have no business winning the Feb. 26 special election. The former Democratic congresswoman was crushed by Jackson in a primary last year. Shes a white Democrat seeking to represent a district in which 54 percent of voters are African-American.
Now, black leaders concerned about Halvorsons position atop polls say theyre prepared to make gun control the central issue in the contest. The goal is to paint her as an NRA ally whos too conservative for the seat and insensitive to Chicagos rising tide of gun violence.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
She has no chance at all of winning that district.
Seems like the perfect place to slot in Chelsea Clinton-Mezvinsky.
Then in 10 yrs Malia Obama can take over.
How long do I have to live there to vote...or maybe don't have to live there?
An AWOL, Bi-polar womanizing candidate who is under Federal investigation would have more of a chance than Halvorson.
Oh, wait...
BTW: The only way that she wins that district is if the urban welfare recipients stay home on voting day, and the far south/soutwest suburban voters show up and vote.
It's very much a black vs. white race in that district. (I live just outside it, thank God.)
"an A rating from the National Rifle Association"
The NRA supports senatewhore hairy reed and used to support senatewhore gillibrand when she was a congresswoman in New York. halvorson will lick obozo's boots anytime he wants her to. The NRA are fools to support any dem-o-rat.
You got that right Brother.
usconservative and ought-six, before declaring that Halvirson has "no chance" in Jesse Jackson, Jr.'s old district, you should consider the fact that at least a half dozen prominent black Democrats will run in the primary, and that IL does not have a run-off if the winner gets below 50%, so Halvorson could win the primary with as little as 25%. That's exactly how the black-majority Memphis district represented by the Fords for over 30 years ended up electing a white Democrat in 2006 (when Ford, Jr. ran for the Senate): several black candidates split the black vote and Cohen waltzed in with maybe 40%.
While it may appear to be a quixotic run for any Republican in that district, GOP primary voters should pick a black conservative with crossover appeal to Democrat constituencies because it would improve greatly the GOP's chances of winning (and if Democrats nominate Halvorson or some other white, who knows?, we may shock the world, since black pols may refuse to lift a finger fir the "white interloper," thinking the odds of a black Democrat reclaiming the seat in 2014 would be much higher if the incumbent is a Relublican than a white Democrat.
"The goal is to paint her as an NRA ally whos too conservative for the seat and insensitive to Chicagos rising tide of gun violence."
Yeah, who cares about solving the problem, as long as she is "sensitive" to it.
Liberals are such idiots.
Gun violence in Chicago? I think I've heard something about that with the wall to wall coverage in the Lame Stream Media! /S
You have to see this:
Many true believers in a firearm fantasy
You are right she damn well could win with the vote so split. I might even bet on it. Low turnout helps her too.
That would make me laugh, hard.
And while I don't know how pro-gun she REALLY is (NRA A means jack, they give Reid an A also while GOA gives him an F-) I don't believe she's a total marxist on the issue.
A Black Republican named Lenny McAllister is running according to politics1.com. I doubt we can win that seat under any circumstances but him versus a White rat would be intriguing.
But Republicans can vote in the rat primary yes? I don't really agree with doing that but it's something for residents to consider since this is just a special election and nothing else is on the ballot. The Jerksons would be sooooo pissed if Halvorson won.
Since 17 Democrats are running, one of them could win the primary with 8% of the vote. I think that Halverson will win with 10%-15%.
I hope that Eric Wallace will win the GOP primary. In the fall of 2009, I worked for his U.S. Senate campaign. He got about 7000 petition signatures. He's a vice-chairman of the Cook Co. Republican Party. He's pro-life and pro-gun rights.
A lot of those Democrats will get 1%-2%, though. I think the winner of the primary will need over 20%.
"And while I dont know how pro-gun she REALLY is...."
Republicans in the CD should vote in the GOP primary and make sure that the best possible candidate (with the "least impossible" chance of winning) gets nominated. But if I were to vote in the RAT primary, I'd probably choose that newly elected state senator who played football at Northwestern and who appears to be pro-marriage.
Napoleon Harris? He's against Adam and Steve?
Cool name, Napoleon. Much better than say, Clarence, or Willem-Alexander.
Napoleon quit and endorsed Robin Kelly.
I guess he feared the election would be his Waterloo.
Napoleon seemed to be the least liberal of the Dems running. Oh well.
That's one fewer black candidate running, so it slightly reduces Halvorson's odds of winning, but I still think she'll win, unless the Jacksons convince a couple of white candidates to run to take votes away from Halvorson. But then again, maybe at this stage Jesse prefers Halvorson to win so that he can handpick someone to run against her one-on-one in the 2016 primary.
I hope that a Halvorson victory convinces black state legislators in IL to (i) push through runoffs when the leading votegetter in the primary gets beliw 50% (or maybe below 40% as in NC) and (ii) not allow white Democrats to draw black districts well into the suburbs to help white Democrats in other districts.
Oops, I meant 2014, not 2016, primary.
The filing deadline is quite passed, it was Jan 9th so there will be no new entries.
I support primary runoffs but I don't think they'd ever push for that.
At least not unless Debbie was reelected a couple times cause they couldn't get their stuff together and field 1 candidate against her. ;) That would have me in hysterics.
She is in for a LOT of hostility if she wins.
The White and Black breeds of Rattus Illini seem about twice as hostile to the idea of sharing a rat hole as the rats in Nashville.
I hope all politicians will decide that we should ignore each candidate's skin color, but that probably won't happen, in Illinois, for at least 10 more years.
So several days ago one of the more prominent Black candidates, State Sen Toi Hutchinson, dropped out and endorsed Robin Kelly, her name will remain on the ballot though. Hilariously, pro-Kelly ads blasting Hutchinson as an NRA supporter like Debbie H continued to air the next day.
I predict Kelly will win.
Whom do you hope will win the GOP primary? I hope that Eric Wallace will win.
Even with Toi and Napoleon dropping out and endorsing Kelly (but staying on the ballot), there are still three other prominent black candidates, so Halverson still might win.
I would go with Wallace also, he's by far the most noteworthy candidate.
We will know in a few hours.
So I'm not really shocked at the size of Kelly's win, the writing was on the on the wall, Napoleon and Toi were obviously forced out behind the scenes.
Apparent GOP winner Paul McKinley spent 20 years in prison for armed robbery amongst other things.
Just the guy to lead our charge against gun control!
But, but, McKinley is no GOP-E. The other candidates once shook hands with someone who was elected to office once, do they must be Combiners. Only a felon can be trusted to be true to conservstism.
Why did so many Republicans vote for a felon? Were they unaware of his crimes, or did they think that the crimes aren't important?
"Why did so many Republicans vote for a felon? Were they unaware of his crimes, or did they think that the crimes arent important?"
For what it's worth, Legal Insurrection has been touting Paul McKinley for months:
And sure, he's a felon, but he's probably not as bad of a Republican standardbearer as were deadbeats Christine O'Donnell or Joe Walsh.
Certainly they were unaware. This was a low turnout and low info primary, in these cases people just choose the name they like best.
He seems like a decent guy and genuinely reformed but still having a former armed robber go up against the new Queen of gun control, you could hardly draw it up worse.

Skip to comments.White House presses for team of nudge experts to sway American behavior
Posted on 07/30/2013 9:49:29 PM PDT by Nachum
The White House has kicked off several federal projects aimed at influencing how Americans react to certain policy reforms, going so far as to solicit behavior experts to join a British-style Behavioral Insights Team to help nudge voters into accepting key political programs. Behavioral sciences can be used to help design public policies that work better, cost less and help people to achieve their goals, a document on the government program states, Fox News reported. The document, emailed by White House senior adviser Maya Shankar and obtained by Fox News, also seeks applicants to join the federal governments behavior modification team.

My only response would be ...
Nudge THIS.
On April 22, 2013, President Obama hosted 100 student innovators from more than 40 states for the third-ever White House Science Fair. The event was a celebration of amazing and award-winning student-achievements in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. The cohort of kids included app-coders, algae-growers, video-game designers, city-planners, roboticists, and rocket-scientistsmost of them not yet old enough to drive
Do they eat their boogers?
I can see the public name for these guys...the "swayers".
This is probably one of the comical things I've heard of in the past decade. A guy going off to some university and developing a skill to sway. Then getting a job with the government....to effectively sway people. This might have worked forty years ago.....but in today's atmosphere, with a great understanding of manipulation....the public isn't likely to buy into this concept.
Don't nudge me, bro!
Actually, I see "swayers" as propagandists.
Not funny, at all.
I think you're Jewish cultural background, you'd probably know this detail.. but isn't nudge (pronounced noodj) a Yiddish term for "an annoying person"?
Well, evil people will tell lies. We have a tautology here. What we are lacking is a good grip on God. Let's roll up our sleeves, get Heaven's fists (so to speak) and fight back? Spiritually?
anyone who recycles has already been "nudged." Social psychology is the means.
(And, doing it in God's mighty and crazy love....)
Yep it's also a spiritual problem. Now one CAN be gratuitously wasteful and a few things do recycle well. But the token recycling? It's not needed.
Government of the people, by the people, for the people seems to have fallen by the wayside.
Government has now placed itself above the people. And we have become "subjects"...who need to be "controlled".
This project is, on the one hand, insidious. On the other, it is illuminating -- as regards the plans they have for us.
We saw this coming, folks.
Well of course we do not need to be controlled... except by one entity, God's Holy Spirit. Who is not a robot-maker but keeps us within bounds that are meant to be containers of glory. (As one small example goes, God won't tell you whether to take the blueberry or apple pie, unless it's a bad idea to eat pie at all of course.)
Evil governments will do what evil governments do. The question before us is whether the unique, gospel powered fight of America's people will ever be revived. The good news is that the government's okay is NOT NEEDED to effect such a thing. Serious recognition of our own personal weakness without God, IS NEEDED.
Lordy...you make good posts. I'm in total agreement.
God's love IS mighty, and can be kinda crazy at times. And, I am in awe of it!
Hey call me zealous or whatever. But God is perfectly ready to load any willing person up with more power than that person can even think to do with. But the offering of the person to God has to be voluntary. My dear Calvinist friends notwithstanding [I am something of a Calminian], God won't force somebody to choose, but God will be Johnny on the Spot for someone who is ready to choose. It's both hard (we have to fight through a lifetime of ingrained ego or as the bible puts it, fleshliness) and it's easy (when failing, go back to God for more kind teaching instead of charging on bullheadedly).
"Day of Prayer ruled unconstitutional
Annie Laurie Gaylor loves America, but shes no fan of God.
She must be a very unhappy person. I guess her purpose in life is to make others unhappy. And if she truly loves America, why is she doing her utmost to change it into something it was never intended?
She was thrilled Thursday when a federal judge ruled that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional.
We are ecstatic, said Gaylor, co-president of the Freedom from Religion Foundation, which advocates for nonbelievers. Gaylors group sued to overturn a federal law that requires the president to declare an annual day of prayer each year. United States District Court Judge Barbara Crabb of the Western District of Wisconsin ruled in their favor."

Socialist America
by J. D. Longstreet
Winston Churchill said: Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. In these few words Churchill summed up for us exactly what Obama and the Democratic Party of America are ramming down the throats of the citizens of the United States today.
We watched over the years as the US Democratic Party adopted more and more of the Marxist agenda and slowly transformed themselves from a freedom loving political party to a Socialist/Marxist party. I first became aware of this transformation in the 1960s. Since then I have watched as the Democratic Party has slowly shed its façade until they now proudly proclaim their socialist agenda.
I understand that many Americans STILL have no idea what socialism is and, unfortunately, they have even less understanding of capitalism. At least two generations of Americans have been taught in the government indoctrination centers, we laughingly refer to as the Public School System, and in our institutions of higher learning, that being liberal, being progressive, is the accepted norm for Americans. They bought it. Apparently, nobody told them that words like liberal and progressive were cover words for collectivism, socialism, and communism.
Well, I have news for you. Socialism is not American by any stretch of the imagination. If fact, it is anti-American.
How was this deception introduced into American government? It was a Democrat President by the name of Franklin Delano Roosevelt who introduced socialism to America and embedded it in our government. He said: Here is my principle: Taxes shall be levied according to ability to pay. That is the only American principle. Franklin D. Roosevelt
American, my Aunt Fanny! Thats PURE socialism!
Stanley, Tennessee, and Chumley.
Let them attempt nudging me.
It started well before FDR with Teddy Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson and the Progressives.
THIS is frightening!! Are these the ones that will have ALL OF OUR PERSONAL INFO ON THEM...SSN NUMBERS, TAX INFO>>>>>WHAT COULD GO WRONG?????
> The only thing that comes to my mind is...
Have you ever tried to herd cats?
Yeah. You carry a can of catfood with you and they follow. The WH does it with "free" entitlement programs and Obamaphones.
Revolt is coming.
What country do we live in again?
Obama is creating a Ministry of Propaganda!
Isn't it enough that the entire news media is nothing but a propaganda arm of the government?
First it is important to BELIEVE in God again.
People obviously aren't as smart as their dear leaders.
Another one that Beck was on before anyone else.
I suspect that political prisoners will now have a reason to be experimented upon. Can anyone say Hitlers?
Don't wait for America to show belief before you do. We already got a cloud of witnesses.
How about "North Minehead By-Election"?
Hitler-Cleese is ranting from a balcony as Ribbentrop-Chapman circulates among the rubes observing, "He's right, you know".
Easier to train child propagandists than to pass new laws. Instead of outlawing smoking, have children in restaurants scream "MOMMY, that nasty man is SMOKING!!"
The thread directly below has a pic of the person in "charge".
Federal 'nudge squad' led by 20-something gears up to change Americans' behaviors for our own good
Gov't Knows Best? White House creates 'nudge squad' to shape behavior
Let's just use the correct word here: BULLY! That is all the Democrats are these days.
It is actually a different word. Nudge is an English word. "A Noodj" is a noun meaning pretty much what you described. The vowel is pronounced different. uh vs. oo.

USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service will soon be conducting the 2012 Census of Agriculture. NASS is committed to ensuring that all farms and ranches are counted in the census and to collecting data that accurately represents U. S. Agriculture.
Data from every agricultural operation, regardless of size, is needed for the census. Information from the Census of Agriculture is used in all types of agricultural planning and decision-making.
A few examples of data use include: community planning by county extension offices to ensure availability of needed services, helping companies decide where to put the next feed store or equipment dealer, assisting lending institutions with information to provide sufficient funds for operational loans, and providing USDA with information to determine if its service centers are staffed at appropriate levels to assist farmers and ranchers.
The Utah office of NASS wants to make sure all Utah farmers and ranchers are counted and is asking everyone involved in production agricultural including crop production, animal production, horticulture, bees and honey, horses, pasture land, idle farmland, etc. to be sure to be counted.
Operators are encouraged to contact the Utah NASS Field Office to provide their names, addresses and phone numbers to ensure they receive a Census of Agriculture form. In an effort to include all operators NASS is especially asking for contact information from women and minority operators.
Operators can contact the Utah NASS Field Office by calling (800) 747-8522, faxing (801) 524-3090, E-mailing email@example.com, or mailing to PO Box 25007, Salt Lake city, Utah 84125-9907 or go on line at www.agcounts.usda.gov/cgi-bin/counts and enter their contact information.
The information provided is kept confidential by law, Title 7, U.S. Code and will not be disclosed to any other government or private entity. The 2012 Census of Agriculture data collection is for the 2012 crop year and forms for data collection will be sent out in December 2012.
Results from the 2007 Census of Agriculture are available on the NASS website at www.nass.usda.gov.

QUOTE (JCBizkit87 @ Dec 4 2005, 06:41 PM)
Yes, Nugent has been inconsistent, but that was in the early weeks of the football season. Now, he seems to be getting it together. He has made 5 of his last 6, his only miss, being a field goal that is 53 yards, which you do not get that it is not an easy field goal to make.
Again, I don't care if its not easy. He was brought in to make that very kick. And he didn't do it. Brien was kicked out of NY for missing that kick although hes a good kicker. There is yet no justification to have thrown Brien out and brought Nugget in.

Love thiese boots!
"I don't think these look cheap at all like the other reviewer said. My daughter had these last season, and they held up beautifully. She wore them all the time and never complained about fit. They were her favorite boots, and I was so excited to find them in the next size up (and on sale to boot - pun intended LOL) that I bought them in both red AND black."

London Wasps climbed into the top four of the Premiership standings on Sunday thanks to a strong 29-15 win over Bath at Adams Park.
London Wasps climbed into the top four of the Premiership standings on Sunday thanks to an impressive 29-15 win over Bath at Adams Park.
Two superb tries from Christian Wade and Chris Bell and 17 points from the boot of Stephen Jones helped Wasps move ahead of both Gloucester and Northampton.
Bath made a scintillating start to the game when a superb individual try scored by Nick Abendanon after only 26 seconds put the visitors in front. The England full-back gathered a loose clearance kick on the half-way line before brushing aside several Wasps' defenders to race to the try-line.
A Stephen Jones penalty reduced the arrears before Tom Varndell was yellow-carded for a dangerous tackle on his opposite number, Horacio Agulla.
Bath made the most of the numerical advantage as a powerful forward drive enabled Michael Claassens to snipe in to score in the right hand corner. Stephen Donald's touch-line conversion extended Bath's lead to 12-3.
Two further penalties from Jones and the sin-binning of Bath second row Dominic Day put the home side in the ascendency in this sea-saw encounter.
Wasps' impressive ball recycling and inter-linking play between their forwards and backs allowed Wade to exploit the space and finish off a try of true quality. Jones' successful conversion was the last act of an enthralling first half.
Bath's replacement fly-half Tom Heathcote and Jones traded penalties to leave the game finely poised with 25 minutes remaining. As the game wore on, Wasps composed dominance in all facets was beginning to become more evident as they took control of proceedings.
Bath's soaring penalty-count due largely to the sustained pressure being inflicted by the Wasps forward runners allowed the metronomic Jones to convert his fifth penalty of the game.
Wasps sealed the victory thanks to Bell's try, converted by replacement fly-half Nick Robinson.
In the try-scoring process Abendanon tripped Elliot Daly and was rightly sent to the sin-bin for foul play.
The victory means Wasps have now won their last nine games at Adams Park.
The scorers:
For Wasps:
Tries: Wade, Bell
Cons: S. Jones, Robinson
Pens: S. Jones 5
Yellow cards: Varndell
For Bath:
Tries: Abendanon, Claassens
Cons: Donald
Pens: Heathcote
Yellow cards: Day, Abendanon

Picnic with a Purpose
Field Editor hosts Eastern Star gathering where the proceeds go to local charities
What could be better than a picnic in the country on a pretty summer day? How about a picnic in the country that raises funds for charity?
Betty Abrey of Imperial, Saskatchewan hosts an annual picnic that does just that. Betty is a member of the Saskatchewan Order of the Eastern Star, a worldwide fraternal organization devoted to charitable work.
"It's always difficult to come up with fund-raising ideas," she says. "I enjoy entertaining, so I thought a 'Picnic in the Country' might be appropriate. The first one was such a success that it became an annual event open to Eastern Star members, their friends and family.
"This summer's picnic will be the eighth one I have hosted. They've always been held in my farmyard and home, but last summer I hosted it at a lake."
Betty, who's a Taste of Home Field Editor, plans the entire day, from the picnic menu to games and musical entertainment...and she prepares the food! "I do all the food preparation, but sometimes others contribute as well. Freezers make it easy for me to fix the dessert and homemade buns ahead of time. I make the salads the day before and day of the picnic."
The buffet-style menu includes such dishes as Saskatoon Pie, Black Forest Cake, Shrimp Rice Salad, Oriental Cabbage, homemade baked beans and ham, turkey or beef brisket.
"A $10 fee is charged for the meal, with all of the proceeds donated. Those unable to attend often make donations, too," says Betty. The 1-day event raises about $1,000.
A different charity is chosen each year. The picnic has benefited such groups as the Children's Health and Hospital Foundation, Saskatchewan Cancer Agency and Ronald McDonald House. This summer, the money will go to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. "There are many other charitable organizations that the Saskatchewan Order raises money for throughout the year," Betty notes.
About 65 people attended the first "Picnic in the Country," and each year the numbers have increased.
"The picnic combines the opportunity to socialize with raising money for a good cause," says Betty. "I feel fortunate to play a part in it."

The Nike Free 5.0 2014 is a lightweight running shoe with extreme flexibility, promoting a natural running experience. It can be used as a daily trainer or a training tool.
Experience the ultimate in flexibility without sacrificing cushioning with the Nike Free 5.0 2014. Inspired by the natural movements of the bare foot, this neutral shoe features deep midsole sipes, allowing your foot its full range of motion through the gait cycle. A seamless upper provides a close, socklike fit for wear-all-day comfort. Lace up the Free 5.0 for your daily training or as a training tool. Ideal for those looking to make the transition from traditional to natural trainers.
Model Number:
Weight: 8.2 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (21mm), Forefoot (14mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
Comments: The feel of these shoes does not reconcile with the description of a "natural" running experience. With the 8mm drop and rear cushioning, they are more fitted for a heel striker. As a mid-foot striker, they feel like an odd combination of a true barefoot shoe but with way too much drop. On the plus side, I like the tongue and lacing design, and they are light and comfortable for everyday/walking/gym. I just can't see any use for them as a serious running shoe.
From: Anonymous. October 31st 2014
Comments: Full disclosure, I got these shoes comped for me. I can't run in them since they're for work and I need to keep them fairly clean; not that I would want to run in them anyway. They fit pretty true to size, and are a touch wider than your typical Nike last. They fit around the forefoot similar to my Pegasus 30's. The heel, though, is a sloppy mess. Its comparable to the lunarracer 3. There's no heel counter and allthough the collar fits well enough and you don't have to worry about heel slip, I still find it anoying. It also doesn't breathe super well, but its a really comfortable shoe regardless
From: Matt, St. Paul, MN, USA. June 11th 2014
Comments: I transitioned to this pair of nikes after wanting a shoe that was lightweight but still with good arch support. I traditionally wear asics but couldn't find any new asics that fit so I purchased these instead. I tested them out on a 6.5 mile run last night and I felt they provide good support. I'm not sure how yet how they will perform for longer runs but I wanted them for my 5 and 10k races this year(1 per month)
From: Ryan, MI, USA. April 16th 2014
Comments: I was a tester for this shoe and it's an awesome nike free shoe. It's 5.0 and if your a minimal runner don't jump to the 3.0 right away. It feels like you have no shoes when you run and gives enough space in the toe box to allow natural spread. I put about 100 miles on em and they were still intact with minimal wear. Used these to train for Bataan death march and got a PR for the race just running in these. I will probably end up buying one of these pairs.

Students from schools all around the state are grouped randomly with a pretty tough task: create a feasible business plan in less than tour hours.
"It's a great way to get high school kids to expand their minds, think outside the box, and think about how I can be an entrepreneur in the future compared to how to get a job working for someone else," said Isaac Collins, owner of the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory store in Williamsburg, Iowa.
Collins is a graduate of Missouri Western and is facilitating one of the groups for the Entrepreneur Challenge.
He is helping his group come up with a business idea that a high school student could create to help pay for school upon enrolling in college.
"They're coming up with all the ideas, I'm just facilitating and answering questions," Collins said. "When they're on an idea I'm expanding their thinking with suggestions like 'What can we do this way?' or 'How is this going to work in this scenario?'"
His group, led by students from St. Joseph and Salisbury, Missouri, has decided they'll design a dorm cleaning service.
"People do want to be clean, but they also want to focus on their studies," explains Salisbury senior Katy Harlan. "It would also help the student who's beginning the business to pay off their college and focus on their studies as well."
In less than 120 minutes, Harlan and her group have to design every aspect of their business from the ground up: marketing plan, market analysis, budget, and everything else in between.
"It's very stressful, you have to work very hard and you have to be very efficient," she said. "And also working with new people you have to get used to their personalities and get used to how they think. Then you have to incorporate your ideas with theirs."
Every group will present their business model to a panel of business owners and faculty members.
The prize: a yearly $500 scholarship to Missouri Western's Craig School of Business.

The 2012 season marked the eighth straight year that the Patriots won at least 10 regular-season games (a feat accomplished by just two other teams in NFL history) and yet failed to win the Super Bowl. It's the first time in NFL history any team has recorded eight straight seasons of 10 or more wins without earning a championship.
After winning three Super Bowls in four seasons from 2001-2004, the Patriots have let multiple opportunities for another crown slip away. A look back at how close the Patriots have come to a fourth Super Bowl title, and where their championship hopes have been dashed:

Bah, the Libertarians are just old school republicans. No third party will ever emerge for more than a few years in America. The Democrats* and Republicans know it is in their best intrests to keep it a two horse race and will continue to block out competition, joining ranks if that is what it takes.
*Well, if the Dems get any more inept maybe one could, but it would likely lean further left than libertarians do.

A.) I know that the three party system is inheritly unfair to one of the candidates.
B.) I feel that if the Democrates where to fall into obscurity then the only possible outcome would be the Republican party splitting into two parties, one being the Libratatian party (since these people tend to be more pro-choice and generally more to the left then the Republican party). Why would an even further left party develope in a country where left ideas have become obscure? This probably wont happen but that's what I think would happen if it did.

ANd I didn't mean farther left than Dems. Farther left than Libertarians, who are not leftist.

I don't think a lot of the Republicans in charge are very Republican though. They don't seem to worry about keeping government small and being smart about budgeting and fiscaly conservative. We are in a weird starge where one party is shifting around and forcing a lot of other people to change too, so while I hope things get better than what they are right now, I don't have the foresight to guess at where everything is leading.

And I agree about Iraq coverage, it has gotten to be a lot like the media's coverage of Israel and the Paestinans ("People got blown up today, that is all). There is so little real information about what is happening in either place that it I don't think a casual American could make an informed opinon on the issues.

you guys are really talking it up. all of you guys are quite literate and can reaLLY express yourselves , a great command. and in just a few posts you have gotten right to the point.
BELIEF the hardest thing to overcome in this world.these posts which the topic is about government or more precisley SATANS government IS the whole point. he is a liar,cunning,deceitful and death and destruction is his way.
A lie can not exist with out a thread of truth. some of you respectful don't believe In a GOD but when Jesus SAID IN THE GOSPEL WHICH MEANS GOOD NEWS he said believe in the gospel and you will be saved. he was telling mankind all about how his rule will come into being that he was GOD and that SATAN rule was defeated by his death and resurrection.I am not really preaching here just trying to get it into prospective.so there is a problem here you have truth and lies, GOD and SATAN and belief and unbelief.life or death.And you live in the infomation age.

Why do we care what Mr. Bush did in the National Guard? We didnt give a crap with Mr. Clinton? He took his sorry ass to Canada. Has any of you folks served this country? If you haven't, why do you care about Iraq? It is like everything in America, If it doesn't affect you, who the hell cares. Bottom line is the president doesnt have 100% of the power....
I have served for 11 years now in the US Army, I have missed the last 4 Christmas's and the birth of my twins, along with countless significant family events. I have served in 4 different combat zones. I was just injured during my 2nd tour in Iraq. I see the news on TV and all that is ever talked about is the negative things. Soldiers killing injured Iraqis' soldiers doing this, that. All negative. There are never stories of the positive things that are going on.
Maybe Iraq was a bad idea...I mean Sadam was as peacefull innocent man..he never wanted to hurt anyone....If you think that he had/has no weopons of mass destruction over there, your are on some good stuff....You should pull convoy security with me for an hour....you will change your mind... ...
In this day in age we have to understand a few things...there is alot of things that go on that everyday civilians could not fathom..
..but if my service in Iraq, Afganistan, Bosnia and Africa mean that our country will not have a repeat of 9-11-2001.....I will do it all over again....and I don't want any 'Thank You's'....Just make sure it never happens again....

Commissioner Drew Sitterud welcomed Alex Buxton to commission meeting on Feb. 20, he is the financial representative who takes care of bonding issues for the county. Buxton said, "Last November in a special election the Emery County voters overwhelmingly approved the swimming pool project. A 0 percent interest $5 million loan was acquired from the Community Impact Board. Commissioner Sitterud is on that board and that amount was substantially larger than any pool project to date.
"There will be a notice of the issuance of bonds in next week's Emery County Progress. The first payment on this loan is due in January of 2009. This 0 percent interest rate will save the taxpayers $2.4 million over the life of the bond," said Buxton.
The bonds will be issued in time to begin the swimming pool project in early May.
The commission also approved the issuance of bonds by the Castle Valley Special Service District for their projects. Darrel Leamaster, director for the CVSSD said the money will be used for streets, curb and gutter and drainage projects; $1.4 million will be used on the street projects and these will be in all communities. The taxpayers approved $12 million in a bond election a few years back and when these bonds are let, then $8.5 million of the $12 million will be used. There will be $3.5 million left. The CVSSD must have authorization from the county commission for the issuance of bonds.
The closing on the loan will be March 28 and is being handled by Chapman and Cutter, bond counsel.
"The construction projects this year will consist of some new street construction and paving the parking strips on streets which have recently received curb and gutter. The road next to the pool will also be done as well as a new road (one block) in Huntington," said Leamaster.

End Of February 2010
Ok, first I have to apologize, we have been 100% booked and I haven't had the energy to tap away at the keyboard after fishing/fueling/cleaning. So here is a recap of the last part of February. February was an awesome month, and with it came a lot of great times! A few stick out. One was this snook that we caught that might have been a world record if I had it weighed. I promise, the only photoshop used on the fish was to shrink it down for the web. That thing was huge! At the dock after the trip, all the mates were holding it up to have their picture taken with it, and I can't wait to see the mount! Another fun story was the 10 year old who reeled in this sailfish all by himself. He was super attentive and listened to everything Rudy said. The sailfish didn't come in easy either, but was jumping and doing everything it could to spit the hook or pop the leader. But thanks to a little bit of Yo-Zuri Floro leader (pink of course), and a great listener on the reel, we won the battle and the picture got taken! Offshore has been great with lots of double sails, usually one of the spinning rod per trip! Inshore has been especially insane as well, with between 15-35 fish a day. Inshore we averaged 4-8 Snook and 5-10 Roosters and at least one Dog Faced Snapper per day. And as you can see from the photos, the fish here are HUGE!
February 11
Lots of sails out today! I had a young couple out today and we really wore them out today with sails. On a side note, we have gotten at least one double sailfish hookup and at least one spinning reel sailfish hookup per trip now for the last 7 trips! Well, instead of me telling the story, I'll just show you some pictures and let you read the email I received after the trip!
Cant thank you enough for the best fishing trip we have ever been on!!!!!!!!! I am going to email you all of our pics from the trip and will be happy to recommend you to anyone I hear that is headed that way. We are seriously looking into moving down there, thanks again man!
Best Regards,
Capt. Ryan
February 5
Great day out, sailfish were everywhere! I lost count but we got either 6 or 7 to the boat, with literally hundreds of sails jumping around and swimming by the boat. And these weren't baby sails, they were monsters! The best was a double with one on the spinning. There is nothing more fun and challenging than reeling in a 125 pound billfish on a spinning reel spooled with 30 pound Mono! So we hit the first sail, he was wanting to eat the teaser. After a little bait and switch, we had the spinning reel screaming and the fight was on! As the sail was getting close, we saw that it was bringing up another one so we hooked that one too on the Tigra 30. It was some great fishing! Here's some awesome pictures! And yes they are enormous, and the pictures are of different fish!
February 3
Great day fishing. I fished with these guys yesterday & today and the sails were thick. We hooked 6 sails yesterday and 3 Dorado. Some of those were on small spinning reels as well, and I think overall we probably spent more time reeling than trolling. As a result of that some of the guys were a bit worn out today when we started out early! So about 12 O'clock today, we had already boated 3 sails and 3 nice Dorado, and the guys decided they couldn't handle anymore action! On a side note, it has been 4 days since a sail has come behind the boat and not gotten hooked. Many times you hear people say we went 2 for 7 on sails. Not on the Sterss Reeliever. Every fish gets a hook, and then the battle is between the customer and the fish. Even if we are reeling in another fish, fish beware ... as happened today ... So we had hooked this sail on the spinning and once again it was almost to the boat. Rudy was holding the leader on the sail and a Dorado just leisurely swims past. Customers are shooting photos and I hear, " Hey look at that Dorado". I couldn't let a fish come that close to the boat and get away!!! So without a word to Rudy, who is trying to get ahold of the sailfish, I throw out a bait on the 30, run up the tower and throw the boat in gear. Then I fly down the ladder and hook the fish while the boat is on Autopilot (figuratively, not literaly) and then run back up the tower and take it out of gear! Poor Rudy was halfway in the water with the sail and was yelling, "Who's driving the boat!" and "What the heck are you doing?" but he figured it out when I got the hook!!! Afterwards we had a good laugh though and he said I earned my third stripe(whatever that means)! And then we took the pictures of the sail while the Dordo fight was on! Today was all reeling and no breaks! Another great day out in the beautiful and warm Quepos Costa Rica Blue Waters!
Where Did Rudy Come From?
I get alot of questions about where I got Rudy and how he knows so much about fish. So I thought I would let the secret out of the bag and show you guys the photos of where I discovered him! Apparently, he drifted out to sea at a young age and was raised by sailfish! Neat story. It may be true, but that's not really where these pictures came from. Actually this was a tired sailfish after a battle with our spinning rod. It wasn't sure if it could go on with life, and Rudy, loving fish and never having hurt a sailfish in his life, jumped out to give the fish swimming lessons and whisper in its ear! I would have backed the boat up to the fish, but that just wasn't fast enough for Rudy! Ahh, I guess you can't hate him for his enthusiam! I'm planning on going back sometime mid-February to check on him and see how old Rudy is making out!

Mayor Pat Jones, after opening the September city meeting made a presentation to Cindy Nielson, City Treasurer, who recently became re-certified as a Utah Public Finance Administrator. She received her original certification five years ago.
Mayor Jones made a similar presentation to Ruanne Leeflang City Recorder from the Utah Municipal Clerk Association. She is now a Certified Municipal Clerk. To achieve these honors, Nielson and Leeflang took classes over the past five years to become certified. The mayor then complimented both employees for their accomplishments.
Celeste Lute, Chair person for the Advisory Council of RSVP, made a request of the city, on behalf of Volunteers of America and the Retired Senior Citizens Volunteer program. She requested that RSVP a non-profit organization be allowed to use the City Hall or the Orangeville community center without charge. They will be training people in the CERT program and training first responders in preparation for emergencies as well as holding other meetings.
She also requested that RSVP be included on Orangeville's list of nonprofit organizations.
Her request was approved as long as it was scheduled around other uses of the buildings. The present Orangeville annexation policy does not have a time limit. A six-month time limit and a fee of $750, which would cover publication of the proposed annexation was suggested. The time limit could possibly be extended when necessary. Carole Larsen and the Planning and Zoning Commission were given the assignment to revise the annexation policy.
Larsen searched other cities that have skate parks for the ordinances they use to control activities in the skate park. The Orangeville skate park has posted rules at the entrance to the skate park, however, the city has been informed that if the rules are not in an ordinance they are not enforceable. Larsen was given the assignment to draw up an ordinance for the skate park.
Larsen proposed an ordinance for the Orangeville City Park regarding smoking. The city does not have a policy regarding smoking within the park at the present time. The suggestion was made that there be no smoking within the park and no smoking within 50 feet of the park. Larsen will study what other cities are doing with regards to smoking in city parks and report at the next meeting.
The Orangeville skate park is causing a problem for some of the neighbors living close to the skate park due to excessive noise. The noise is being caused because of the metal ramps used by the skateboarders. It was proposed that the underside of the metal ramps be coated with an insulation to reduce the noise.
Jeff Tuttle has received prices for this undercoating of the ramps for sound deadening and they range from $7,000 to about $22,000. It was decided to hold off on this undercoating until spring.
Cindy Nielson reported: The Orangeville days celebration was within the budget. Tuttle reported that the irrigation water for farmers would be shut off Sept. 15 and the secondary water would be shut off by Oct. 15.
Mayor Jones said he met with the city engineer and the special services district where the discussion was about the projects the city had submitted for next year which comes to $552,000. Funding is down this year so they wanted us to cut back about $50,000. "We can accomplish that by cutting a couple of projects. Such as a drainage project, cemetery trees and a section of curb and gutter," said Jones.
The contract for the city copy machine is ending. The Sharp company doesn't want to renew the contract for the old copy machine, because the copier is more than 10 years old. They propose the city lease a new machine that has several new features on it. The copies per minute would be slightly slower than the machine the city has now.
The present machine puts out 33 copies per minute. The new machine would put out 28 copies per minute. The bottom line is that we would pay $83 per month for 48 months for the new machine. Their service contract is built into the price. The council approved the purchase of the new Sharp copier under the state contract.

Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: The above numbers are estimations only. Please take into account garment size, lining and fabric width.
