Separating the World Series Contenders from PretendersSeptember 26, 2012
Separating the World Series Contenders from Pretenders
Things in Major League Baseball are getting real.
Though the season has provided fans with an amazing outpouring of quality baseball, drama and an elongated period of time to pray for your team to claim a wild-card slot, the postseason partygoers have just about all received their tickets to the show.
The problem is, some teams are in for a rude awakening come October. Others will benefit from a long, and increasingly brisk, postseason.
The question that remains now is simply this: Who is legit and who is not? Which teams can actually make it to the big dance, and which ones are just not good enough?
Let's take a look.
New York Yankees
The New York Yankees have been quietly surging at the right time.
After posting just average records in July (13-13) and August (15-13), the Yanks have been playing extremely hot baseball in the month of September, posting a 15-9 record through their first 24 games this month. That includes a stretch of seven straight wins.
What has been particularly impressive about the Yankees' run this season is their perseverance in the face of injuries. Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, CC Sabathia and Mariano Rivera are just a handful of names that have been sidelined for some length of time or other.
However, the Empire continues to strike back. Only the Texas Rangers have a better record in the American League.
Of course, there are weaknesses in the armor. To begin, the team is 11th overall in team batting average at .261. Is that the be-all, end-all for October success? Of course not. However, what should raise a red flag is the fact that they rank 12th overall in team ERA at 3.86. Seven playoff teams own better team ERAs than the Yankees.
What is mildly concerning is the fact that the Yankees are 26-26 on the season against the Orioles, White Sox, Tigers, A's and Rangers. Yes, they've outscored their opponents 249-239, but fans should be cautious of that "it could go either way" record.
In the month of September the Yanks are 20th in team ERA at 4.16 (fifth among AL contenders). They also own a .249 team batting average this month, fourth among AL contenders but just 17th in MLB.
Contenders or Pretenders?
The 2012 New York Yankees are pretenders.
In order for the Yankees to be considered serious contenders, one would need to have faith that CC Sabathia is hitting his stride at the right time.
Quite the contrary. Sabathia had been 0-3 in his last five starts with a 3.60 ERA, but he might be turning it around given Wednesday's eight-inning, two-run effort to get the win.
That's not all. The rest of the starting pitching staff, in 23 games, is 7-8 with a 5.12 ERA in the last 30 days.
Chicago White Sox
There is no debating the fact that the Chicago White Sox are having a great season under new skipper Robin Ventura. The team is 82-73 and held first place in the AL Central for 103 days.
However, the month of September has not been too kind to them, as they own just their second sub-.500 month on the season with a 10-14 record. The first half of the season saw the team go 47-38. The second half has not been as kind, as the ChiSox have gone just 35-35.
They've posted a 26-31 record against the likes of the Orioles, Tigers, Dodgers, Brewers, Yankees, A's, Cardinals and Rangers. In that time, they've put up 229 runs, versus the opponents' 233. Recently, Chicago was swept by the Angels in three games and dropped two of three to the Kansas City Royals.
Paul Konerko, who was a catalyst for the early-season success of the team, has been cold this month. He owns just a .244/.319/.439/.758 batting line.
The team has posted an ERA of 4.31 in September, which is good enough for 21st in MLB.
Contenders or Pretenders?
The Chicago White Sox are pretenders.
Chris Sale, Gavin Floyd, Jake Peavy, Francisco Liriano and Jose Quintana have combined for 25 starts this month. Over the last 26 days, that has equated to a record of 7-13 with a 5.45 ERA.
If your rotation isn't clicking and your bats are cold, the fight won't last long.
Texas Rangers
Everything is bigger in Texas: the hair, the cars...the expectations. After making it to the big dance in 2010 and 2011 and coming up short, the Rangers are expected to win it all this season. Third time's a charm, right?
With a 91-64 record, they are the best team on paper in the American League. They've been in first place in the AL West for 151 days, despite cooling off slightly in the second half.
In the first half, the Rangers posted a 52-34 record, which compelled folks to think this team was easily winning 100 games. The second half of the season has seen the team post a 39-30 record, which is by no means bad, just slightly more down to earth.
The Rangers own a 27-24 record against potential playoff teams this season—Orioles, White Sox, Tigers, Yankees, A's and Giants—outscoring them 295 runs to 269.
However, there is reason for Rangers fans to be timid. Despite the fact that the team owns the best batting average in the league this season (.274), they have been slumping this month with a .249 average (16th in MLB).
The silver lining? Sixteenth in MLB is still third among AL contenders. The team's 4.04 ERA is 16th overall this month and fourth among AL contenders.
Contenders or Pretenders?
The Texas Rangers are contenders. The team is getting offense from all over the place. Adrian Beltre is batting .310 this month and has become the late-season MVP of the team.
Michael Young adds a .326 average, while David Murphy is batting .281. Lest we forget, Craig Gentry has averaged .348 this month as well.
As for the pitching staff, the starters have gone 13-5 with an impressive 3.06 ERA in 25 games in September. The likely 1-2-3 men of the postseason rotation in Derek Holland, Yu Darvish and Ryan Dempster are 11-1 in 16 starts.
Detroit Tigers
The Detroit Tigers have been nothing but full of fight this season. They just seized first place in the AL Central with the White Sox with an 83-72 record and have been in first place for 26 days this season.
In the first half of the season, the Tigers were barely above a .500 team, posting a 44-42 record. The second half has seen them play a bit better, posting a 39-30 record, while reverting to the .500 ways this month, posting a 13-11 record.
Against the Orioles, White Sox, Reds, Yankees, A's, Cardinals and Rangers this season, the Tigers are 30-29 and have outscored said opponents 269-267.
Those numbers don't exactly jump off the page at you, do they? However, the Tigers are just now hitting their stride. In the month of September, the team owns a 3.27 ERA, the best of all AL contenders, while posting a .266 team batting average—eighth in MLB this month and second among AL counterparts.
Contenders or Pretenders?
The Detroit Tigers are going to be contenders. Look at it for what it is: The team has Justin Verlander, a perennial Cy Young Award candidate, and Miguel Cabrera, a perennial MVP candidate.
Beyond the obvious, as a whole the pitching staff has been incredible. Anibal Sanchez, Verlander, Doug Fister, Mad Max Scherzer and Rick Porcello have combined this month to start 26 games and post an 11-9 record with a 3.04 ERA.
Let me repeat that...a 3.04 ERA.
As for the offense? Cabrera is batting .315, Austin Jackson is batting .306 and Prince Fielder is batting .277 this month with five homers; it would appear that the offense is doing just fine as well.
Baltimore Orioles
The hashtag #BUCKLEUP seems to be extremely appropriate for the 2012 Baltimore Orioles.
Easily, this team is the best story in baseball this season. From the gutters of 2011, the O's have risen to elite status and are hanging with all the big boys.
Though they are in second place in the AL East right now, the Orioles own a 89-67 record and have spent 51 days in first place. They started the season strong, posting a 45-40 record, and then made everyone believers this half of the season with a 44-27 record, 17 games over .500.
Having an 18-9 August followed by a 16-9 September hasn't hurt all that much either. Against the Braves, White Sox, Tigers, Yankees, A's, Rangers and Nationals this season, the O's are 30-27, even though they've been outscored 272 runs to 245. Unconventional? You bet.
This season, the O's are 15-2 in extra-inning games. They have won 11 consecutive extra-inning games on the road, an MLB single-season record. The team is also 27-8 in one-run games and has won 16 extra-inning games in a row. Only the 1949 Indians won more consecutive extra-inning games, with 17.
Contenders or Pretenders?
Typically it is never recommended to bet on intuition. However, that is how I have to lean here—the Baltimore Orioles are contenders.
The team owns a 3.50 ERA this month, ninth-best in MLB but second-best among AL contenders. Their .267 team batting average is seventh in MLB but first among AL contenders.
As for their starting pitching, the O's front five were only 8-9 this month in 24 games. However, they own a 3.60 ERA. The offense is clicking with Matt Wieters, Chris Davis and Adam Jones combining for a .314 average.
The O's have been good, they've been lucky and they've been exciting to watch. With fall baseball, any game could be had, and if it's a close game, the house money will be on the O's.
Oakland Athletics
The Oakland A's are another amazing story this season. They are 88-67, second in the AL West, and have just hung around all season long.
The A's went 43-43 over the first half of the season. The record was enough to make one raise an eyebrow, but not quite enough to take the team seriously. Then, of course, the 45-24 second half of the season happened. You know, the one that saw the team go 21 games over .500, ignited by a 19-5 July.
Against the Orioles, White Sox, Tigers, Dodgers, Yankees, Giants and Rangers, the A's are just 29-27, and like the O's, they have been outscored, by a total of 241 to 239 runs.
The team has a .240 batting average in the month of September. If you're wondering, that is 22nd in MLB. On the flip side, they also own a 3.72 ERA this month, which is 13th in MLB but third among AL contenders.
Contenders or Pretenders?
This is a tough call, but the Oakland A's are going to be contenders. Yes, the team ERA is not the greatest, and the bats, in general, have fallen silent. However, there is plenty of hope in Oaktown.
Before Wednesday's action, Brandon Moss was batting .357 this month. Cliff Pennington was batting .308, and Jonny Gomes added a .294 average.
Their starting pitchers—consisting of Tommy Milone, Brett Anderson, A.J. Griffin, Jarrod Parker and Dan Strailey—were 13-6 in 24 games with a 3.25 ERA.
That, my friends, is inspiring.
Washington Nationals
The leaders of the new school, the Washington Nationals are 94-61 this season and have spent 142 days in first place in the NL East.
They started the season with a 49-34 record and have added a 45-27 record this second half. The fewest wins the Nats have this season in a complete month was April, when they went 14-8.
Against the likes of the Braves, Orioles, Reds, Dodgers, Brewers, Yankees, Giants and Cardinals, the Nats have gone 32-26 while outscoring opponents by a margin of 282 runs to 217. Looking a bit closer at those totals, facing just NL contenders, the Nats are 30-19 with a 256-185 run differential.
In the month of September, the team is fourth in all of Major League Baseball in team batting average at .281, second among NL contenders. Their pitchers have been OK as a whole with the 11th-best ERA in September at 3.57, fourth among NL contenders.
Contenders or Pretenders?
So, do the Nats have enough Nattitude to make it to the World Series this season? I believe so. The Washington Nationals are contenders.
Over the last 30 days before Wednesday's action, the offense has been powered by the likes of Ian Desmond, who is leading the team with a .354 average, as well as Chad Tracy, Kurt Suzuki, Ryan Zimmerman and Bryce Harper—all of whom own averages over .300 in September.
As for the pitching staff, yes, they lost Strasburg. So what? In 23 games, Ross Detwiler, Gio Gonzalez, Edwin Jackson, Jordan Zimmermann and John Lannan have combined for a 3.68 ERA and an impressive 13-3 record.
Gonzalez has cemented himself as a legit top-of-the-rotation starter. He is 3-1 this month with a 1.08 ERA in four starts. Opponents should be thanking the Nats for shutting down Strasburg.
Cincinnati Reds
The Cincinnati Reds sit just behind the Washington Nationals for the best record in all of baseball at 93-62. They have been in first place of the NL Central for 107 days and counting.
To start the season, the Reds went 47-38 and followed it up with a 46-24 second half to date. In other words, they've been really, really good this season. Oh, and they did it with their MVP, Joey Votto, on the shelf for a large chunk of the season.
Against the Braves, Tigers, Dodgers, Brewers, Yankees, Giants, Cardinals and Nationals, the Reds have gone 30-28 with a bite-size run differential deficit of 204-210. Against just NL contenders, that margin stays about the same: 27-25 with a 179-184 differential.
In the month of September, the Reds are sixth overall in ERA at 3.24, which is second among NL contenders, but they are 28th in team batting average at .229.
That's the lowest of the remaining playoff hopefuls.
Contenders or Pretenders?
Don't be mistaken—the Cincinnati Reds are very much contenders.
In the 30 days before Wednesday's action, they have gotten significant bat support out of Xavier Paul, who is batting .323, Dioner Navarro and his .326 average and, of course, Joey Votto's .315.
The Reds starting pitchers have posted a 12-6 record over the last 25 games with a 3.66 ERA, led by Mat Latos and his 3-0 record and 2.52 ERA in five games.
Across the board, this team has far too much talent to go home early.
San Francisco Giants
The San Francisco Giants dominated the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012. The Giants are 90-65 and firmly in first place in the NL West, a place they've been for 72 days this season.
Through the first half of the year, they were just above average with a 46-40 record. The second half of the season has seen them assert their dominance with a 44-25 record. Throw in their 16-7 record in September, and the Giants look pretty good on paper.
Against postseason hopefuls—Braves, Reds, Dodgers, Brewers, Cardinals, Rangers and Nats—the Giants were 25-25 while being outscored 188 to 205. That should be cause for concern for Giants fans.
In the month of September, the team owns a 3.68 ERA, which is 12th in MLB and fifth among NL contenders. On the flip side, their .296 batting average is first in MLB this month.
Contenders or Pretenders?
Tough call. While offensively Giants fans relish the "Melky who?" mentality, watching Marco Scutaro hit .375, Buster Posey hit .354 and Angel Pagan hit .302 this month can do that to you.
Even looking at the pitching staff, fans should be inspired by the win totals. In the 25 games prior to Wednesday, Madison Bumgarner, Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum, Ryan Vogelsong and Barry Zito are 12-5 with a 4.86 ERA.
That's what scares me. Yes, the team is 15-7 in September, but that has come largely against the likes of the Padres, Diamondbacks, Rockies and Cubs.
I hate to say it, but this season just doesn't feel like the Giants' year. Fire up "Back on the Chain Gang," because the Giants are pretenders.
Atlanta Braves
The Braves have had a fine season for themselves. It is nice to see them playing at a high level for Chipper Jones' farewell season.
The team is 90-65 and has clinched a playoff berth. They've only spent 10 days in first all season long, but with a 46-39 first half followed by a 44-26 second half, the Braves are no easy mark.
Against postseason hopefuls in the Orioles, Reds, Dodgers, Brewers, Yankees, Giants, Cardinals and Nationals, the Braves are 26-32 while being outscored 214-262.
Has it been a fine season? Yes. Are those pretty statistics? Nope. That being said, the Braves have a 2.59 team ERA in the month of September, which is the second-best in all of Major League Baseball. But don't get your hopes up; their .230 team batting average places them 27th in MLB this month.
Contenders or Pretenders?
Martin Prado is showcasing himself as the MVP of this team. At least that seems to be the case over the 30 days prior to Wednesday night, as he hit .351 in that span. Next in line would be Dan Uggla and his .272 average, and if you're keeping tabs on Chipper, he's batting .261.
What I like about this Braves team is their starting pitching. Kris Medlen is 9-1 with a startling 1.64 ERA this season, while Mike Minor has put up an impressive 3-0 record with a 2.12 ERA in his last five starts.
In total, the starting five own an 11-7 record with a 3.60 ERA this month. That should be enough to classify them as contenders, correct? Possibly.
What concerns me is the fact that Atlanta is just 17-20 this season when facing the Reds, Cardinals, Nationals and Giants.
That said, cautiously I say that the Braves are contenders. There may still be some magic in that old Chipper Jones yet.
St. Louis Cardinals
The 2011 St. Louis Cardinals had a magical season. Can the 2012 incarnation rekindle that same magic? At 84-72 and appearing to have the second NL Wild Card tied up, the Cards will at least have a shot to do so.
They have the second-best record in the NL Central and spent 44 days in first place. While their season has not been as hot as some of the other teams in the playoff picture (46-40 first half, 38-32 second half), the Cards keep winning.
When facing the likes of the Braves, White Sox, Reds, Tigers, Dodgers, Brewers, Giants and Nationals, the Cards are 32-28, outscoring the opposition by a total of 264 to 231.
Keeping with the "what have you done for me lately?" theme, the Cardinals own a team .252 batting average this month, which is 14th overall in MLB and fourth among NL contenders.
The 3.47 team ERA is eighth in MLB this month.
Contenders or Pretenders?
The offense is certainly there. Yadier Molina is leading the charge with a .316 batting average (prior to Wednesday), while Allen Craig (.284) and David Freese (.280) are not all that far behind.
The pitching is where fans should have concerns. Jaime Garcia, Kyle Lohse, Adam Wainwright, Joe Kelly and Lance Lynn have combined for 24 starts and an 11-10 victory (aided by two relief wins) with a 4.10 ERA.
That type of pitching won't win you much in this league. Sufficient to say, it definitely won't allow you to win back-to-back championships. The 2012 Cardinals are pretenders.

Ensuring Access To Condoms, Contraceptives, And Other Essentials
What if a woman who did not want a baby couldn't find birth control pills?
What if a man who wanted to protect his partner from infection wasn't able to get a supply of condoms?
These situations are a daily reality for people around the world as developing countries face shortages of sexual and reproductive health supplies. Poor supply-chain management and stagnant financial resources contribute to the problem.
Demand for condoms, contraceptives, essential medicines, and other supplies are growing, and governments must sift through a range of options to be sure they are purchasing the best products at the lowest prices.
With our more than three decades of experience in international procurement, PATH is working with low-resource countries to be sure they can meet the reproductive health needs of their populations. We provide a toolkit to help health officials improve the supply of products; we offer guidance on where and how to buy safe, high-quality supplies;
Without critical reproductive health provisions, women and men face unwanted pregnancies, dangerous abortions, the risk of sexually transmitted infection, and other challenges to their reproductive health. We're working to make sure everyone can access the tools they need for improved health.

We found fresh spy shots of the Audi A7, Audi's upcoming CLS killer. A must see!
We'll see the A7 in autumn 2009 ahead of a showroom debut in 2010. It's based on the next-gen A6 vehicle architecture, which means a new lightweight aluminium structure that uses steel reinforcements to cut weight. Our sources suggest it'll be 4900mm long.
As you'd hope with something that long, the A7 is a four-seater – but you'll buy one for its swoopy looks rather than roomy pews. Audi expects to flog around 40,000 copies a year once sales are in full swing.

Heavy Metal is Only the Beginning
This style of music has been recognized to have a strong metal fan base that following behind it. If the music has lots of distortion, loud guitars and a few deep singing you're most likely listening to heavy metal. Some people say the louder the better. Four and Five members are widespread in the band, but some can range as much as eight or more. Some sub genres of heavy metal will use completely different devices in their music beside the standard guitar, bass and drums.
Playing Techniques and Skills
There are loads of different model of heavy metal. The starting point and basis of heavy metal will still be in the kinds of the different kinds and techniques. The extra experienced and extra gifted heavy metal bands will use techniques like alternate picking, tapping, sweep picking and play at extremely quick speeds.
Recap of How it Start
Heavy metal has been round because the late Sixties and has grown to a huge style of music. Two bands actually got the ball rolling in this style of music, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. The greatest concept of heavy metal is that all songs are angry. There are some songs about rage and anger, however most are make consider and fantasy.
Categorize Sub Genres
With any type of music, there are also sub genres in metal. Black, Death or Conventional are the commonest sub genres in heavy metal. Depending on how the band plays, sings and structures their music, will categorize them in one of these sub genres of heavy metal.
Stereotypes and Styles
Like different genres of music, there is a so known as look that goes with it. Piercings, lengthy hair, tattoos and dark clothes is a typical stereotype in heavy metal music. Even the band performing on stage have developed a certain look to reflect in direction of their music.

What is the hyphenation dictionary supposed to take care of here? Perhaps it would help to describe an expected use case for "word-wrap: hyphenate" and how it would relate to usage of "hyphens". Fantasai meant that the hyphenation dictionary would not mark the position after 'a' in 'a-ppend' as a possible hyphenation point. Dictionary or rule-based hyphenation algorithms would never make that position breakable and so, no hyphenation would occur. word-wrap: hyphenate is telling the user agent to apply sensible hyphenation rules if required to fit the lines of text. There is no implied requirement to break words at the end of line if such a break would read badly. Dictionaries are only one way hyphenation is performed, and in rule based systems you'd find that breaking after a vowel at the start of a word is forbidden in English at least. Alex P.S. The monks that came up with hyphenation hundreds of years ago would be rolling in their graves right now at the suggestion they didn't understand linguistic correctness...Received on Wednesday, 30 March 2011 04:43:09 UTC

In 1997, Joshua Harris kissed dating goodbye, and his bestselling book on relationships shaped by biblical truths kicked off a craze for "courtship" in evangelical Christian circles. The young man who wrote that went on to write several more books, host youth conferences and become senior pastor at Covenant Life Church, a Maryland megachurch that recently separated from its umbrella organization, Sovereign Grace Ministries, in the midst of controversy. Harris lives in Gaithersburg with his wife and three children.
You wrote "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" in 1997. Would you change anything about the book now?
I think that the power of that book was that it was written by a 21-year-old single guy. Yes, I've learned a lot since then, and yes, I'm sure I could kind of chisel off some of the sharp edges of it. But it was very genuine, and it was ultimately a call for people to love God and others and let that transform the way they approach dating. So I would stand by that. But I also have seen ways in which people have applied it in very legalistic ways that are unhelpful. The people who have been helped most by that book are people who say, "Does this challenge anything about the way I'm living?" The people who are least helped by the book are those that have someone else come and say, "You have to do this."
Covenant Life has been through hard times lately. Has this made you doubt God?
The challenges we've faced as a church have been real challenges. My decisions have caused a lot of people to be upset with me, for different reasons. It hasn't caused me to doubt God; it's caused me to see how often my faith is based on my circumstances, instead of realizing that God is sufficient and good even when things around us aren't going the way we would like. A defining reality for me is what Scripture teaches in Hebrews 12, that God is our father, and that a sign that he loves us is that he disciplines us, he takes us through hardship to build character in us that could not be shaped apart from difficulty. So I am trying to, on a daily basis, receive the challenges as expressions of God's fatherly care.
Do you ever just want to throw up your hands and quit?
I definitely have been tempted to want to run away at times. But -- this is an odd source of encouragement -- I watched the movie "Rango," where Johnny Depp plays a lizard, and he says, "No man can walk out on his own story." And I thought, "That is a good truth for me." I think something dies inside of you when you start running away from difficulty instead of believing that God wants to meet you in the midst of that difficulty. Several years ago I felt the Lord say to me: "This is your post. I want you to stay here." I didn't understand why that was important at the time, but that has steeled my soul in the last couple years.
Covenant Life has been known for a unique blend of neo-Calvinism and charismatic worship. Do you think the charismatic element is fading away?
I am committed to fighting for it, because I think it is utterly biblical, and I think I'd have to tear pages out of my Bible. It's difficult for several reasons. A lot of charismatic teachers emphasize and teach things that I would not agree with. So the word "charismatic" is somewhat tainted. But what's very clear to me is that God has given us his Holy Spirit, that we can't live the Christian life apart from his empowerment, and that in increasing ways the only way to reach a world that has rejected God is to believe that God is present and powerful and still works in the ways that he worked in the days of the early church. As our church has grown over the years, our celebration of God's sovereignty in salvation -- our reformed theology -- has drawn people from a non-charismatic background. So we do have a clashing of church cultures at times. It takes patience for everyone, and teaching, and a reminder that our charismatic convictions are not just a style, but they're actually rooted in God's word.
At your core, what is one of your defining beliefs?
One of my defining beliefs is that Jesus Christ has taken all of my guilt before God, and that he has been raised from the dead. That gives incredible hope and meaning to every day of my life -- that nothing done in this world is wasted when it's done for him and his glory, and that there will be a day of justice and reward for the entire world. So how I live today matters. And I'm loved by God, amazingly.

Report also available in Japanese and Spanish.
This policy research report summarizes the findings of a multi-year research program on aid effectiveness. Official Development Assistance declined by one-third in real terms in the 1990s. There are a number of reasons for this, but one factor has been a sense that aid does not work very well.
Assessing Aid aims to understand when aid works and when it does not, so that the lessons can be used to make aid more effective. A key theme of the report is that aid is a combination of money and ideas. Money has a big impact, but only if countries have good economic institutions and policies. The ideas—or knowledge creation—side of aid is critical for helping countries reform and for helping communities effectively provide public services: education, health, water supply, and others.
Assessing Aid—What Works, What Doesn't, and Why was written by David Dollar and Lant Pritchett of the World Bank Development Research Group. It culminates a research program on aid effectiveness initiated and supervised by Lyn Squire. Original research for this report includes work by the authors and by Craig Burnside, Klaus Deininger, Shanta Devarajan, William Easterly, Deon Filmer, Jonathan Isham, Dani Kaufmann, Elizabeth King, Jennie Litvack, Luis Serven, Lyn Squire, Vinaya Swaroop, and Jakob Svensson.

Freeport Pennsylvania Golf Courses
|Buffalo Valley Country Club
|Cabin Greens Golf Course
|River Forest Country Club
Featured Golf Course Review:
|River Forest Country Club -- River Forest: A golfer's Golf Course.
|Review by: Bruce Linderman
|Probably one of the most maligned course in Western Pennsylvania, and for good reason: River Forest is a very difficult layout, and not for Patzers who want to roll it up for a par or bogey, and not for long drivers who can find themselves with a 2 stroke penalty quickly. The course seems to have an uncanny, and sometimes eerie ability to locate and humble arrogant and inattentive golfers with triple or quadruple bogeys. Designed by original owner Wynn Treadway in the mid 60's, this classical purist believed in the straight ball and excellent short-game skills. Isn't that what golf should be about? Each par four has a specific landing area for the drives, otherwise one is penalized with line of sight problems or an uneven stance. This is usually followed by small, bunkered greens that require excellent putting skills. Although the par fives give some relief(At this point in your round, it is much welcomed!)the same applies to those greens as well. And these greens are more undulated than usual, to say the least, but that is the central character of this most challenging and beautiful golf course. If you like flat greens and wide fairways for your Jumbo driver, there are plenty of Public courses in the area for you. However,if you are a golfer and want to play the game as it should be played, then River Forest is for you. Just remember to bring your A game, some good wedges and just a little respect for an excellent golf course that, when you play well, it really means something. Beautiful is the word, so make sure you take a lot of time to look at the scenery. This usually has a calming affect that can enhance one's performance. Couple this with an extremely friendly and attentive clubhouse staff, will result in an exceptional golfing experience.

|River Forest Country Club -- Fun Course
|Review by: Dave Sandstrom
|I've been a member of the club for about 5 years and played the course often prior to that. The improvements made over the last few years add challenge and interest. The par 5 #3 is very tough, but fun. I've birdied it and tripled it. You never know what will happen. The signature of the course is its trees. If you don't hit the ball straight, you'll be adding strokes to your score.

|This course is beautifully landscaped and the holes are well placed. This is somewhat a difficult course, so if you are a beginner I wouldn't recommend this. Otherwise, it is an awesome course.

electron shell
- Any of the several orbits around the nucleus of an atom, in which electrons may be found. Each successive orbit further from the nucleus has greater energy. Each shell may only contain a specific number of electrons, and those in the same shell have the same energy. Electrons in the outer shell produce a net transport of electric charge under the influence of an electric field. Also called shell (1).

• Amazon: 2880 Super Multi-Track Looper
• Pros: Loads of great functions, familiar controls, and a great sound. All of your files can also be easily transported to your computer as a .WAV file.
• Cons: A tad expensive, and if you're wanting to use it live it'll cost you extra for the Foot Controller. The tracks don't have a lot of independence, so features can only be applied across the board.
• Overall: A great looper. Plenty of memory, loads of opportunity to play around with your recordings, and also a great song-writing companion.
Full Review
The Electro-Harmonix 2880 is the older version of the Electro-Harmonix 45000. The 45000 doesn't have much on the 2880, however, and you might still find yourself a deal on this older model.
The 2880's instantly recognizable layout provides you a degree of familiarity, and even if you have never used a multi-track recorder before, the reason it's layout is used so widely is because it's so simple. It's got an impressive resume too, it gives you CD-quality sound, in stereo or mono, lets you connect up to your computer to store loops, and will even help you keep your loops in time if you want it to.
Each of the four channels has a dedicated level-fader and a pan-pot to control it's volume and allow you to arrange your own DIY stereo mix. There are two extra faders, one labelled "Dry Out," which adjusts the pedals output level, and another, "Mix Down" which is used to gain your desired sense of order (or lack thereof) in the mix when combining multiple loops. There is also another fader used to set or alter the tempo of the recordings.
The 2880's remaining features are accessible through buttons which surround the faders, and they are easy to operate, so you can get the most out of the 2880 without any secret button combinations or in-depth manual reading.
Getting going is pretty simple, just hit the "New Loop" button, which sets the 2880 in Record-Ready mode, then you simply tap the record button, and let her rip. Once you've finished your killer riff or simple chord-based backing, just tap the "Play" button and it will start the 2880 looping and over-dubbing.
You can choose between recording in mono or stereo, the difference being that entering stereo mode will halve the amount of separate tracks you can record. If you tap the "Stereo Mode" button, you will record onto two tracks at a time. The plus side with this is that you can split your recording and adjust the individual levels and fades to personalise the stereo sound.
The 2880 uses a Compact Flash Card for memory, and it comes with a 1GB card, which is good for 31 minutes of recording time. The unit can take up to a 2GB card, which will give you 62 minutes. That's over an hour of recording time in itself, but the unit can also connect to a computer via USB, which means that in reality, memory capacity just isn't an issue with the 2880.
Timing and Quantization
It's time to get recording. First off, you have to decide if you want to use the "Quantize" feature. This is a feature which first off, gives you a 4-beat count in, then when it comes to the end of recording, stops you in correct time. If you press "Play" in the last two beats of a bar, it will end after the bar is up, and if you press in the first two beats, your loop will be cut back to the end of the previous bar. But if you're trying to capture your own special brand of madness, or if you just have immaculate timing, you can keep it switched off.
The "Tempo" slider is the 2880's time-keeper, unless you've got a MIDI clock set up for it to defer to. It can be used to set the tempo of the recording, as well as the unit's metronome. So if you record something with it set at normal tempo, you can amp it up to super fast by pushing the slider up, and slow it way down by going the other way. This also changes the pitch in semitone increments up to one octave. This means you can use "Tempo" slider to record your bass part with your guitar. If you record a guitar part at normal speed, jack it up an octave and then play the bass part along with the playback, when you bring the slider back down, the octave and pace will drop, and you'll have your bass-line. Also, you can mess around with it during recording to produce some wild effects, or gradually slow down or speed up the loop.
You can also do this with the "Octave" button, but it can only lower the pitch and tempo, and doesn't work during recording. It seems a little redundant, but I guess if you're after a quick drop in octave it would be slightly easier than using the slider.
If you're looking to mess around with your creations to an even greater extent, you can also reverse them, and there are no prizes for guessing which button you press. That is something of a reiteration of the fact that the pedal is so easy to use, in that I don't even need to explain how the feature is operated. The only time you can't use the button is when you've recording a brand new loop.
Mixing Your Loops
The other major feature is "Mix-Down." This allows you to create a mix of your four loops, working the pedal like a multi-track recorder. This comes in two separate forms, "Normal" and "Constant Tempo." The difference is that "Constant Tempo" gives you the option of editing the mix using the functionality of the "Tempo" slider. The "Mix Down" functions of the 2880 obviously suit it's layout to a tee. Even if you've never used a multi-track before, you'll have no trouble picking it up. Soon you'll be adding sporadic bursts of high octane metal into ambient soundscapes for your own amusement or spending hours trying to perfect the masterpiece of the day.
In use, the pedal works well, with no hiss on the signal and no effect on your sound that you don't tell it to do. The 2880 simply gives you a lot of tools to experiment with to create whatever type of music you want. It'll be beneficial to your playing, as all loopers are, and it gives you lots of options to tweak your sound. You can sync up to a MIDI clock, so it is suitable for use in the studio, and it's perfect for use at home, as it allows you to create a library of your own music on your computer.
The 2880 falls down when it comes to live use. You would literally have to sit it in front of you on a chair so you could operate everything correctly, without buying the 2880's Foot Controller, that is. The controller has six pedals, to start a new loop, record, play, reverse, use the "Octave" function and select a track. Without the pedal, the 2880 could be disastrous live. So if that's what you're after, be prepared to shell out another hundred dollars for the pedal.
There are just a few gripes with the 2880. The memory system, as I mentioned earlier, is great, but for some reason, you are only allowed to store one loop on it, even if it's a single second in length. This seems simply irrational, because it is a limitation on the memory of the card for no good reason. It prevents you from storing your loops as groups, meaning you have to mix your saved version into the "Mix Down" track.
There also could be more independence for the channels, "Reverse" and "Octave" should be applicable to an individual loop, as opposed to being a blanket rule for all loops. It could also do with a mute function for each loop, allowing you to bring in a new part more efficiently.
The 2880 is also missing the vital "Undo/Redo" facility. This means that any mistakes you make can't be simply taken off without "Punching In" to edit or starting a "New Loop." It is sorely missed, but it isn't too much harm to wait to Punch In and correct your mistake, unless you're performing and should be moving on, that is.
Overall though, the 2880 does a great job. It's faults are very minor, and have very little weight when compared to the unit's features. The main area it could fall down is with live use, but I think looping is like an iceberg, in that the majority of it is unseen. And if you happen to be one of those who pokes their head out of the water, you just have to buy the additional foot controller. It'll run you an extra hundred dollars, but if that's what you want to do, it just might be worth it.

Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to raise awareness about the grave atrocities committed by Kermit Gosnell against innocent lives at his Philadelphia abortion clinic. Witnesses called the clinic a ``house of horrors'' and described a procedure known as ``snipping,'' in which the backs of babies' necks are cut with scissors to ``ensure fetal demise.''
Abortion clinics across our Nation take the lives of 1.2 million babies every year. This is murder, and it must be stopped. We have the responsibility to protect the unborn, as well as the sanctity of all innocent human life.
These wholesale murder clinics continue to take innocent lives. The prosecution of Kermit Gosnell is a positive step toward stopping our Nation's slide toward unrestricted abortions.

Pacific Rubiales Reduced at Raymond James on 'Geopolitical Risk'
A new investment in Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. (PREC) demands a "tolerance for some geopolitical and geological risk," Raymond James Ltd. said as the brokerage firm cut its rating on the stock.
To such investors, the shares look attractive after tumbling since March 13, when the company said it would have a fourth-quarter charge because of an adverse court ruling, Raymond James analysts said today in a report. The analysts, Rafi Khouri and Ana Wessel, cut their rating to "outperform" from "strong buy."
The stock's price doesn't reflect the potential for Pacific Rubiales to increase production and reserves, the analysts said. That possibility is "a free option," they wrote. Raymond James cut its price target for the Canadian-traded shares by 7.7 percent to C$30.
The shares fell 2.6 percent to 38,400 pesos today in Bogota. The stock has tumbled for eight straight days, for a total drop of 14 percent. The company's Canadian-traded shares fell 1.9 percent today to C$21.80.
Pacific Rubiales posted a quarterly loss after an arbitrator ruled in favor of Colombia's government-owned oil producer, Ecopetrol SA (ECOPETL), in a dispute over the split of royalties from their shared Quifa SW oilfield. Pacific Rubiales has said it's evaluating alternative remedies under Colombian laws and applicable international treaties.
