Just when it feels like we're adjusting to our "new normal," the curveballs keep on coming. Will our kids adjust to virtual classrooms? What happens when the sunny weather turns to snow? How long will this go on, anyway?
We get it: Navigating this pandemic can be exhausting. While we can't fix your wi-fi during an important video call or magically stock your local store with paper towels… you can count on ERIE to keep doing what we do best: protecting what matters most to you.
Need a refresher? Here are some ways ERIE is (still) here for you.
10 Reasons To Be Glad You're With ERIE During COVID-19
- Customer dividends/relief payments, mailed directly to you in May: In the wake of pandemic stay-at-home orders, ERIE distributed approximately $200 million in dividends (relief payments in New York) to our auto insurance customers with policies in force as of April 1, 2020. We were surprised and delighted to receive more than 1,400 greeting cards, typed letters and handwritten notes in the mail from customers sharing their gratitude. Thanks for the appreciation, and know that brightening your day is reward enough!
- Auto rate reductions for long-term relief: With fewer drivers on the road, and to provide long-term, steady and stable relief, ERIE sought to reduce rates for automobile products by approximately $200 million1. Learn more about our rate reductions, announced April 9, 2020.
- Everyday value (and extra ways to save): You get what you pay for – and with ERIE, that means affordable car insurance that doesn't cut corners on valuable coverage or service. Better yet? You've got your very own local ERIE agent to customize your policy to be just the right fit. Talk to your local agent about how to avoid increases to your car insurance rate and see if you qualify for common insurance discounts2.
- Giving back to our local communities: When the world began to change, our agents and employees stepped up to thank first responders, healthcare workers and others on the front lines. To boost their efforts, we made more than $2 million available to agents and branch offices to support their charitable work in local communities. See some of the creative ways our agents gave back to their hometowns.
- Supporting our employees so they can support you: At ERIE, our employees are our family. While they've been farther apart these past few months, they are still finding ways to come together to serve our customers, agents and communities. Our employees have made masks for local nonprofits and written letters to seniors. Our Workplace Reset team has helped our employees adjust to remote work, aiding in home ergonomics and sending a care package or two. Our employees even have a few work-from-home tips to share.
- A quicker, easier way to get life insurance coverage: September is Life Insurance Awareness Month, an annual effort that helps raise awareness about what life insurance is and why it matters. To celebrate, ERIE Family Life introduced ERIExpress Life, designed to help customers quickly apply for life insurance without having to get a physical medical exam. In most cases, you can complete the entire application process over the phone, waiving the paramedical exam and limiting in-person interactions. Coverage options range from term to whole life policies, with amounts from $10,000 to $500,0003. Learn more about ERIExpress Life, announced August 2020.
- Gift card reimbursement coverage: We all miss the comfort of sitting in our favorite coffee shop or perusing the local boutiques. Buying gift cards is a great way to support your favorite spots, even if they aren't operating exactly like they used to. Erie Insurance added gift card and gift certificate reimbursement coverage to the company's ErieSecure Home® policies. The additional feature, included at no additional cost, would reimburse customers for remaining balances on gift cards for local businesses (located within 100 miles of the customer's residence) purchased within one year of the business permanently closing. This benefit is available for up to $250 per gift card and $500 in the aggregate, per policy period. Learn more about our gift card coverage, announced April 16, 2020.
- Expanding identity recovery services to extended family members living elsewhere: Social distancing directives result in many people staying connected virtually, which may result in increased exposure to cybercrime. ERIE offers identity recovery coverage with all ErieSecure Home® bundles and as an add-on to our Home Protector policies. Through December 2020, we're extending support services to assist in recovering from a possible identity theft at no additional cost to include our customers' extended family members, including those not residing with the policyholder. This includes:
- Adult children (26 or older), their spouse and their children
- Parents, including stepparents and legally adoptive parents
- Siblings, including step-siblings and adoptive siblings
- Flexible payment and billing options: While we may be living in uncertain times, you can be certain that ERIE and your local agent are here to help you through it. From updating coverage options, delaying payment dates, adjusting installments, changing pay plans and waiving penalties and fees. In addition, some billing requests including deferring payments and non-pay cancellations can also be requested through erieinsurance.com/help or through your ERIE Online Account.
- Award-winning financial strength and stability, so you can rest easy: There are many uncertainties in the world right now, but we've weathered some storms throughout our 95 years in business and don't plan on changing course now. We're proud to have received A+ (Superior) and A (Excellent) honors from A.M Best, a company that analyzes over 16,000 insurance companies worldwide based on their financial stability.
While the seasons begin to change, you can be sure that ERIE is here for you. Whether it's community service, customer service or claims service, doing the right thing is what we're all about. Learn more about what makes ERIE different.

Multiple Pregnancy: Twins or More
Topic Overview
Is this topic for you?
This topic is for women who are pregnant with more than one baby. It focuses on the questions that are specific to multiple pregnancies. For information on what to expect during pregnancy, labor, and childbirth, see the topic Pregnancy.
What is a multiple pregnancy?
A multiple pregnancy means that a woman has two or more babies in her uterus. These babies can come from the same egg or from different eggs.
Babies that come from the same egg are called identical. This happens when one egg is fertilized by one sperm. The fertilized egg then splits into two or more embryos. Experts think that this happens by chance. It isn't related to your age, race, or family history.
If the babies you're carrying are identical, they:
- Are either all boys or all girls.
- All have the same blood type.
- Probably will have the same body type and the same color skin, hair, and eyes. But they won't always look exactly the same. They also won't have the same fingerprints.
Babies that come from different eggs are called fraternal. This happens when two or more eggs are fertilized by different sperm. Fraternal twins tend to run in families. This means that if anyone in your family has had fraternal twins, you're more likely to have them too.
If the babies you're carrying are fraternal, they:
- Can be both boys and girls.
- Can have different blood types.
- May look different from each other or may look the same, as some brothers and sisters do.
See a picture of identical and fraternal babies in the uterus.
What causes a multiple pregnancy?
If you take fertility drugs or have in vitro fertilization to help you get pregnant, you're more likely to have a multiple pregnancy.
Fertility drugs help your body make several eggs at a time. This increases the chance that more than one of your eggs will be fertilized. When in vitro fertilization is used to help a woman get pregnant, the doctor may put several fertilized eggs in the uterus to increase the chances of having at least one baby. But this also makes a multiple pregnancy more likely.
You're also more likely to have more than one baby at a time if:
- You're age 35 or older.
- You're of African descent.
- You've had fraternal twins before.
- Anyone on your mom's side of the family has had fraternal twins.
- You've just stopped using birth control pills.
What are the risks of a multiple pregnancy?
Any pregnancy has risks. But the chance of having serious problems increases with each baby you carry at the same time.
If you're pregnant with more than one baby, you may be more likely to:
- Develop a problem that causes your blood pressure to get too high (preeclampsia).
- Develop a type of diabetes that can occur while you're pregnant (gestational diabetes).
- Deliver your babies too early. When babies are born too early, their organs haven't had a chance to fully form. This can cause serious lung, brain, heart, and eye problems.
- Have a miscarriage. This means that you may lose one or more of your babies.
- Have a baby born with a birth defect that occurs when something is wrong with the genes or chromosomes. Certain genetic disorders may be more likely to occur in multiple pregnancies.
Keep in mind that these problems may or may not happen to you. Every day, women who are pregnant with more than one baby have healthy pregnancies and have healthy babies.
How can you tell if you're carrying more than one baby?
While you may feel like you're carrying more than one baby, only your doctor can say for sure. He or she will do a fetal ultrasound to find out. This test can give your doctor a clear picture of how many babies are in your uterus and how well they're doing.
If the test shows that you're carrying more than one baby, you'll need to have more ultrasounds during your pregnancy. Your doctor will use these tests to check for any signs of problems that your babies may have as they grow.
What type of treatment will you need?
If you're pregnant with more than one baby, you'll need to see your doctor more often than you would if you were having just one baby. This is because you and your babies have a greater chance of developing serious health problems.
Your doctor will do a physical exam at each visit. It's important that you go to every appointment. Your doctor may also do a fetal ultrasound, check your blood pressure, and test your blood and urine for any signs of problems. Early treatment can help you and your babies stay healthy.
You're having multiples. Now what?
The thought of having more than one baby may be scary, but it doesn't have to be. There are some simple things you can do to keep you and your babies healthy.
The best thing you can do is take care of yourself. The healthier you are, the healthier your babies will be.
While you're pregnant, be sure to:
- Go to every doctor's appointment.
- Eat healthy foods. Take in plenty of calories from foods rich in folic acid, iron, and calcium. These nutrients are essential for the healthy growth of your babies. Breads, cereals, meats, milk, cheeses, fruits, and vegetables are all good choices. If you're not able to eat enough because of severe morning sickness, call your doctor.
- Don't smoke, drink alcohol, or use illegal drugs.
- Avoid caffeine.
- Avoid using any medicines, vitamins, or herbs unless your doctor says it's okay.
- Talk to your doctor about what activities are okay for you to do while you're pregnant.
- Get a lot of rest.
After your babies are born, you may feel overwhelmed and tired. You may wonder how you're going to do it all. This is normal. Most new moms feel this way at one time or another.
Here are some things you can do to ease the stress:
- Ask your family and friends for help.
- Rest as often as you can.
- Join a support group for moms with multiples. This is a great place to share your concerns and hear how other moms cope with the demands of raising multiples.
- If you feel sad or depressed for more than 2 weeks, call your doctor.
Health Tools
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
If you are pregnant with more than one fetus, you can expect to have the same symptoms as those of a pregnancy with one fetus (called a singleton pregnancy). But the symptoms may happen earlier and may be worse. A multiple pregnancy is likely to cause:
- Early and excessive nausea and vomiting in the first trimester.
- Extra weight gain.
- Backache.
- A uterus that is larger than expected for your due date.
- More fetal movement than expected during the second trimester and later.
Later in the pregnancy, you are more likely to have:
- Varicose veins.
- Constipation.
- Hemorrhoids.
- Increasing backache.
- Trouble breathing (caused by pressure on the lungs from the uterus pushing up on the diaphragm).
- Indigestion (caused by pressure on the stomach from the large uterus).
- A very large belly
- Gestational diabetes.
- Preeclampsia, a serious disorder of circulation and blood pressure that affects both mother and fetuses.
- Preterm labor.
Exams and Tests
Most multiple pregnancies are now identified during the first or second trimester.
A fetal ultrasound can show whether there is more than one fetus in the uterus. If you have more than one fetus, you will have an ultrasound several times during the pregnancy to monitor fetal growth and amniotic fluid.
Sometimes the first sign of a multiple pregnancy is from a test that was done for another reason. For example, a very high level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), the "pregnancy test" hormone, can be a sign of multiple pregnancy.
Tests used during a multiple pregnancy
- Blood pressure checks at every prenatal appointment are used to monitor you for high blood pressure or preeclampsia.
- Blood testing is used to check you for low iron (anemia). Anemia is a common problem for women with multiple pregnancy, because the fetuses use a great amount of the mother's iron stores.
- A urine test and urine culture can be used to screen you for a urinary tract infection (UTI).
- Transvaginal ultrasound may be used to check the length of your cervix. A short cervix is a sign of an increased risk of preterm labor.
- In the second trimester, you may have an oral glucose screen to check for gestational diabetes.
- Electronic fetal heart monitoring may be used before or during delivery, to make sure the fetuses are doing well.
Tests used to check for birth defects
Fetuses in multiple pregnancies have an increased risk of genetic disorders and birth defects.
There are two types of birth defects tests: screening and diagnostic.
Screening tests show the chance that a baby has a certain birth defect. But they can't tell you for sure that your baby has a problem. Some of the available screening tests for birth defects are not as accurate when used for women carrying more than one baby. Talk to your doctor about your options for screening tests.
Diagnostic tests show if a baby has a certain birth defect. Diagnostic test options may include:
- Chorionic villus sampling (CVS). It uses a tiny piece of the placenta, taken by passing a thin tube through your vagina and cervix and into the uterus. It can also be done through the abdomen with a needle. The sampling and genetic testing are done between 10 and 13 weeks of pregnancy.
- Amniocentesis, which uses a small amount of amniotic fluid, taken by inserting a needle into your abdomen and uterus. The sampling and genetic testing are usually done between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy.
CVS and amniocentesis both have a slight risk of miscarriage. You may want earlier CVS results if you have to make decisions about treating or continuing a pregnancy.
For more information, see the topic Birth Defects Testing.
Treatment Overview
Always be sure to take extra good care of yourself when you are pregnant. When carrying twins or more (multiple pregnancy), be sure to eat a balanced and nutritious diet of quality calories. And make sure that you get enough calcium, iron, and folic acid.
You can expect to gain weight more quickly than you would with one fetus. With each additional fetus a woman carries, her range of weight gain will increase. Your range of healthy weight gain will also be different if you started your pregnancy underweight or overweight.
Prenatal care during a multiple pregnancy
If you are pregnant with twins or more, good prenatal care will help you and your health professional prevent and watch for problems. You will have more frequent checkups than you would for a pregnancy with one fetus. These checkups are important both for monitoring your own health and your fetuses' health and for giving you and your health professional time to build a working relationship.
Because you are more likely to deliver early, be sure to plan ahead. Ask your health professional about making arrangements to deliver at a hospital that has facilities for emergency cesarean delivery and a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Watch for problems
Possible pregnancy problems that can be more likely when you are carrying twins or more include:
- Preeclampsia and high blood pressure. Treatment depends on how severe your condition becomes. It may include medicine, bed rest, fetal monitoring, and early delivery. For more information, see the topic Preeclampsia and High Blood Pressure During Pregnancy.
- Problems with the placenta, such as placenta abruptio or placenta previa. For more information, see Placenta Abruptio and Placenta Previa.
- Anemia, which is treated with iron-rich foods and iron supplements. If this doesn't help, you can be tested for other problems that can cause anemia.
- Too much amniotic fluid in the uterus (polyhydramnios). Treatment can include medicine and removal of amniotic fluid.
- Urinary tract infection (UTI), which is treated with antibiotics.
- Heavy blood loss after delivery (postpartum hemorrhage), which can require a blood transfusion.
- The need to deliver by cesarean section (C-section). You will likely need a C-section if your babies (fetuses) are not turned head-down in time for birth (breech or transverse fetus).
Any pregnancy can have these complications, but there is more concern about them happening during a multiple pregnancy.
Preterm labor is more common in a multiple pregnancy than in a pregnancy with one fetus. If you go into preterm labor and premature delivery is likely, your health professional may recommend taking one or more precautions, such as:
- Limiting your activity level.
- Staying in the hospital. This is often so that you can receive steroid medicine to help your babies' lungs develop faster. In some cases, tocolytic medicine is used in an attempt to delay preterm birth. You are closely watched if you are treated with a tocolytic medicine.
For more information, see the topic Preterm Labor.
Possible problems for the babies (fetuses) during multiple pregnancy can include vanishing twin syndrome, twin-to-twin transfusion, twins that share one amniotic sac (monoamniotic twins), and locking twins.
Early pregnancy decisions about triplets or more
When there are three or more fetuses in the uterus, their risks of disability or death are higher with each additional fetus. If you are carrying triplets or more after infertility treatment, your doctor may offer the option of multifetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR) near the end of your first trimester. A successful MFPR increases the chances of healthy survival for the remaining fetuses and reduces risks to you. But MFPR sometimes leads to miscarriage.footnote 1
The decision to have a multifetal pregnancy reduction is difficult and may be traumatic. If you are faced with this decision, talk to your doctor about your personal risks from trying to carry multiple fetuses to term compared to the risks of choosing MFPR. Also consider discussing your decision with a counselor or spiritual adviser.
Home Treatment
A multiple pregnancy can make morning sickness worse during the first months of pregnancy. You can treat your symptoms at home, unless you have become dehydrated or are not getting enough to eat because of vomiting.
Learn the signs of preterm labor. They may include:
- Cramping similar to menstrual cramps.
- Abdominal cramps, possibly with diarrhea.
- Contractions of your uterus that don't go away, about 6 or more in 1 hour.
- Pressure in your lower back, especially if it comes and goes.
- An increase in your usual amount of vaginal discharge.
Call your health professional immediately if you have symptoms of preterm labor.
Call your health professional or go to the hospital if you begin bleeding from the vagina or if your water breaks.
Self-care for multiple pregnancy
If you are pregnant with twins or more, it's important to:
- Get enough nutritious calories, folic acid, iron, and calcium to nourish you and your babies (fetuses).
- Avoid things that could hurt your babies, such as:
- Talk to your doctor about what type and level of activity is safe for you. Your doctor may recommend that you stop physically demanding exercise.
- Get plenty of rest.
- Consider whether you need to change your daily work activities, based on how well your pregnancy is going. Be sure to follow any advice to reduce your activity level.
- See your health professional often. Beginning in the 20th week of pregnancy, you may be checked every other week. Beginning at the 30th week, you may be checked more often.
For more information on what to expect during pregnancy, labor, and childbirth, see the topic Pregnancy.
After the babies are born
Coping. Having a multiple pregnancy and caring for two or more infants at the same time can be overwhelming and exhausting. Lack of sleep, the increased amount of work, less personal time, and trouble maintaining the home are common sources of frustration for parents of multiple infants.
With multiple newborns to care for, it is common to feel frustrated or guilty about not managing your life as easily as before. This is normal. Get extra help for as long as possible after your babies are born. Rest as often as you can during the day. Accept help from friends and family. They can bring meals, go grocery shopping, do household chores, or care for your children while you take some time for yourself.
Some women feel sad or depressed after having twins or more. If you feel depressed for longer than 2 weeks or if you have troubling or dangerous thoughts, see your health professional. It is important that you get treatment. For more information, see the topic Postpartum Depression.
Consider joining a support group for parents of twins or more. Sharing your experience with other people who are in a similar situation may help you with the demands of caring for your babies. For more information, see the Other Places to Get Help section of this topic.
Breastfeeding?Breastfeeding more than one baby can be challenging, but it helps to build the bond between you and each baby. It gives your babies excellent health benefits. If you plan to breastfeed your babies, seek out support and information from your health professional, the hospital, or a lactation consultant before and after the birth. For more information, see Breastfeeding and Bottle-Feeding.
Parenting. Look for your new babies' personality differences and help them build their own identities over time. Give each of your children time alone with you. If you have an older child or children, schedule individual time with them too.

Why you should add Andorra to your Indie/RTW trip
- The tiny principality of Andorra, in an area tucked between France and Spain, wins the award for best skiing in the Pyrenees.
- Over 85% of the GDP of the country comes from you and me taking our skis and boards onto the slopes each year or lacing up our boots and hiking through the mountains in the summer, so the whole country revolves around the mountains.
- Vallnord and Grandvalira are both interconnected series of several resorts that have combined with each other to form mega resorts where the snow-riding options are pretty close to endless.
- In the summer, most of the visitors to Andorra explore on foot the same territory that they explore on skis and boards during the winter. Hiking trails snake out over the tops of mountains in every direction and the roaming is unbounded.

Leaks in August about plans al-Qaida leaders were supposedly making to attack American interests abroad have "caused more immediate damage to American counterterrorism efforts than the thousands of classified documents disclosed by Edward Snowden," some "government analysts and senior officials" tell The New York Times.
Those officials, according to the Times, say that since the August leaks there has been "a sharp drop in the terrorists' use of a major communications channel that the authorities were monitoring." The Times adds that:
" 'The switches weren't turned off, but there has been a real decrease in quality' of communications, said one United States official, who like others quoted spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence programs."
Reports about what al-Qaida operatives were said to be planning surfaced in early August in stories by McClatchy Newspapers, the Times and The Daily Beast.
As we wrote at the time, among those stories was the Daily Beast's somewhat confusing initial report that U.S. intelligence had learned about al-Qaida's plans from "a call" involving 20 al-Qaida operatives. The Daily Beast subsequently said it didn't intend to imply that the intelligence was gleaned from a telephone conference call, though that was the impression many readers came away with.
When U.S. officials issued travel warnings and closed diplomatic posts in countries across the Middle East and Africa in early August, officials told NPR and other news outlets that there had been communications picked up between Ayman al-Zawahri — al-Qaida's leader since Osama bin Laden's death in May 2011 — and Nasir al-Wuhayshi of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.
Now, writes the Times, "the sharpest decline in messaging has been among the Qaeda operatives in Yemen, officials said. The disclosures from Mr. Snowden have not had such specificity about terrorist communications networks that the government is monitoring, they said."
Snowden's revelations, reportedly most prominently by The Guardian and The Washington Post, have exposed the extensive efforts of the National Security Agency to gather data on phone calls and other types of electronic communications.
"The Snowden stuff is layered and layered, and it will take a lot of time to understand it," a "senior American official tells the Times. So, "there wasn't a sudden drop-off from it. A lot of these guys [suspected terrorists] think that they are not impacted by it, and it is difficult stuff for them to understand."

Dormition of St. Anna, mother of the Theotokos
The Mission of The Orthodox Church in America, the local autocephalous Orthodox Christian Church, is to be faithful in fulfilling the commandment of Christ to "Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…"
St. Anne Orthodox Church is part of the Diocese of the West, which is presided over by The Most Reverend Benjamin, Archbishop of San Francisco and The West. Our mission is bringing the joy of Christ's resurrection to those who have never heard the Good News, and to strengthen and encourage the faithful who reside within Corvallis and the local area.
The Holy Scripture is a collection of books written over multiple centuries by those inspired by God to do so. It is the primary witness to the Orthodox Christian faith, within Holy Tradition and often described as its highest point. It was written by the prophets and apostles in human language, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and collected, edited, and canonized by the Church.
Holiness or sainthood is a gift (charisma) given by God to man, through the Holy Spirit. Man's effort to become a participant in the life of divine holiness is indispensable, but sanctification itself is the work of the Holy Trinity, especially through the sanctifying power of Jesus Christ, who was incarnate, suffered crucifixion, and rose from the dead, in order to lead us to the life of holiness, through the communion with the Holy Spirit.

Saber Tooth Tiger 20''L (4885)
Animal Facts:
Age Group:
The Recommended age for Hansa animals is 3 and up to comply with ASTM93 safety standards.
Portraits in Nature is a hand-crafted collection of realistic plush animals. Artists working in a socially responsible and environmentally responsible studio create each Hansa animal from portraits of the creature in its natural habitat.
The Hansa Story
Artisan hand sew the animals "inside out", an old world tradition that results in the mininization of seams, and their bodies are carefully "sculpted" to create "musculature" and "features" like movement in a walking or sitting position that are unique to each creature. On average, there are 42 separate pieces required to make each animal, that must be combined by a team of truly creative artists to create the distinctly realistic features that characterize HANSA animals. (Some animals have as many as 240 different parts!) Each animal is individually hand sewn, to give it a unique "personality", there are more than 860 different fabrics and man-made furs from which the "coat" and "hides" are made, along with over 6000 sets of different eyes, whiskers, claws, noses, and related accessories allocated for creating these wonderful plush animals. Stuffing emphasizes careful attention to the placement of the highest quality man-made materials.
When you hold these wonderfully "life-like" animals, you will see and feel HANSA's emphasis on quality, which is a result of careful attention to design, custom fabric selection, cutting, sewing, stuffing, eye placement, feature creation, framing, air brushing and finishing. Since each animal is hand sewn, there will be slight variations in appearance.

OK, the baseball post-season is not quite settled. The Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Rays will fight for the final playoff spot in a game tonight. The post-season of the New York Yankees is settled: There is not one. The Yankees failed to make it into the playoffs for only the second time in the last 19 years. And that means one of the most successful careers in baseball history has ended. Mariano Rivera has officially pitched his last game. And with that exit, NPR's Mike Pesca has this remembrance of his signature pitch: the cut fastball.
MIKE PESCA, BYLINE: Poignant, professional and poised: These are the words of praise that have been laid at the feat of one of the game's greats. And Mariano Rivera earned those words. There is another set of adjectives that likewise obtain: Feared, devastating and nigh-un-hitable. Those words apply not just to pitcher, but to pitch.
ROB NEYER: I think it's the most dominant pitch of all time.
PESCA: Rob Neyer is co-author of the "Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers" and the baseball editor of SB Nation. He ranks Mariano Rivera's cut fastball - or cutter - above, say, Nolan Ryan's fastball or Sandy Koufax's curve for one reason: like a finely marbled steak, it needs no accompaniment.
Every hitter knew the cut fastball was coming, knew it traveled about 93 miles an hour, knew it was indistinguishable from a fastball until it seemed to break a bit to the right at the last second, and knew he had almost no chance of hitting it. Here's Rivera breaking the saves record as called by Michael Kay of the YES Network.
PESCA: Rivera was a fine pitcher before he even acquired the cutter. His first save attempt came in 1996, before the cutter was even born.
PESCA: There you heard Yankee Radio announcer John Sterling refer to Rivera's spectacular numbers. Rivera was, even then, a great set-up man. But soon, he would acquire one of the most lethal weapons the game has ever seen. Rivera developed the cutter by raw luck. He was playing catch, and found if he held the ball in a certain way, it had this late break. Huh. He relied on the pitch on the way to 13 All-Star Game appearances, five World Series victories, and certain entry into Cooperstown.
PESCA: These cheers that Yankee Stadium rained down on Rivera in his last appearance on Thursday in the valedictory lap around so many parks in baseball. That is all eulogy for the man. But for the pitch, it is a sadly tinged elegy.
Rob Neyer.
NEYER: We've never seen a cutter than good, and we might never see another one. Because it seems to be some sort of freak of nature that sprung from his body, his arm, and apparently, it can't be taught.
PESCA: Sports are supposed to be meritocratic - well, meritocratic among those blessed with unbelievable size, strength and arm speed. As Yogi Berra once said, baseball's 90 percent mental, the other half physical.
The cutter explodes the Berra Equation. Call it luck, alchemy or providence, but there was an otherworldly element to the Rivera Cut Fastball. It seared through the Major Leagues, through hundreds of bats, and through page after page of the record books from 1997 through 2013. As almost every hitter of this generation can tell you: It will be missed.

The article deals with the need to control obesity and being overweight through information about how to make the proper food choices. The article identifies some specific types of food that help a person to lose weight. These food types also have medicinal properties that can help a weight watcher get rid of other ailments.
In no particular order of importance these were – sculptress Rebecca Warren who was the fancied hot favourite with many bookies, "billboard artist" Mark Titchner – and finally film maker Phil Collins…(No not him of Genesis fame!).
When the judges cast their votes however it was Tomma Abts who came out on top. She won twenty five thousand british pounds and of course the Turner Prize itself. I am sure the money will come in handy – however its the exposure that Tomma will get from winning thats the really important thing here.
What does Tomma Abts do? Well she actually paints abstract art; usually in oils or acrylics. – something of a novelty for the Turner Prize – some would say! Tomma Abts was originally selected for her solo art exhibitions at Kunsthalle Basel, Switzerland, and Greengrassi, London.
- Tomma Abts has been praised by no less than the Tate Gallery who describes her canvases as "intimate" and "compelling" .
- They also comment on Tommas "consistent" and even "rigorous" method of painting.
- In addition the Tate states that Tomma Abts "enriches the language of abstract art" .
- With such praise heaped upon her head its no surprise to me that she won the prize.
- However I actually feel that Tommas abstract artwork isnt "knock out" but it definitely is OK.
The images or paintings of Tomma Abts are created by the repetiton of various geometrical shapes on a base of rich colour. Personally – I dont think that Tommas approach to painting is particularly original. However I have to admit that while not being "knock out" I find some of Tommas images pretty compelling and touching. I have to say that this does surprise me.
48 x 38 cms – exactly. These are the dimensions of every Tomma Abts painting. Im not sure quite why Tomma selected these dimensions. Obviously she finds them appealing and I suppose they make for a very compact painting.
When creating titles for her paintings apparently Tomma simply plucks one from a dictionary of German first names! Titles like "Veeke" for example were created in this way. In my view this is surely only slightly more interesting than numbering each picture!
All in all I think that Tomma Abts creates abstract art that is pretty accessible to the public at large. This is something that perhaps could not be said about the artwork of previous Turner Prize winners! I base my opinion of course on Tommas prize winning paintings. I would go further and state that I cannot conceive of a Tomma Abts creation offending anyone – even slightly.
In the end its just my personal opinion but I do believe that its entirely posible that Tomma Abts will go on to become a household name – within her own lifetime…Of course she could also disappear without trace from the media – and our minds in the blink of an eye, for precisely the same reasons.
