During the predicted severe thunderstorm Tuesday conditions are favorable for potential tornadoes throughout Pennsylvania, the National Weather Service said.
The NWS Storm Prediction Center in Norman, OK, issued a tornado watch for all counties in the commonwealth until 7 p.m. Tuesday
"This watch means that conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms with possible tornadoes. Hail and strong winds are also possible. Persons in the watch area should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings," according to an advisory.
In addition to the tornado watch, the NWS also issued a wind advisory from noon to midnight Tuesday. Residents throughout the Delaware Valley should secure light-weight outdoor furniture and garbage cans.
"The strong wind may bring down tree limbs and utility lines... The wind may also make driving difficult, especially on bridges and on elevated roadways," the advisory said.
On Tuesday evening, the NWS predicted a 90 percent chance of rain for the Philadelphia area, with winds gust potentially as high as 37 mph. Rainfall could amount to between 1 and 2 inches.

Truly Julie got some inside info from the set of Transformers 4. Director Michael Bay was allegedly attacked by two brothers who demanded 13 thousand dollars while he was filming in Hong Kong. Bay recalls the guys as being "drugged up". The director refused to be extorted...and that's when one of the brothers allegedly attacked him a plastic air conditioner.
An insider source, who's on the Hong Kong set, tells Julie that had it not been for the security team on site, the altercation would've been a lot worse. Bay reportedly suffered some scratches on his face...but all is good and he wasted no time in getting back to directing. The inside source also tells Julie that the overall experience of filming Transformers in Hong Kong has been somewhat frustrating due to the overly aggressive Hong Kong paparazzi. In his words..."there's zero respect".
The Transformers team will shoot for 9 more days in Hong Kong then move onto filming scenes in mainland China for 10 days. Transformers 4 also filmed in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Catch the exclusive picture of Mark Wahlberg with the University of Michigan football team on Julie's Twitter feed (@JulieChang) or Instagram (@TrulyJulieChang).
Also hot on the entertainment buzz meter? Dallas Buyers Club! We caught up with the cast at the LA premiere this week. Jared Leto talked about losing 30-40 pounds to portray his drag queen character who's diagnosed with AIDS. Truly Julie caught the pre-screening of "Dallas Buyers Club" and says if Jared Leto or Matthew McConaughey don't get Oscar nods...she will be stunned! "Dallas Buyers Club", which also stars Jennifer Garner, opens in theaters Nov 1st.

Legal action in 1871 by the owner of the original Glenlivet Distillery, J.G. Smith, established that only his whisky could call itself The Glenlivet, and the others had to use the name as a suffix only (MacallanGlenlivet, Miltonduff-Glenlivet, etc).
These are the distilleries which formerly used the name Glenlivet:
Aberlour, Aultmore, Benriach, Benromach, Coleburn, Craigellachie, Dailuaine, Dufftown, Glenburgie, Glendronach, Glendullan, Glen Elgin, Glen Grant, Glenisla, Glen Keith, Glenlossie, Glenmoray, Glen Rothes, Longmorn, Macallan, Miltonduff, Mortlach, Strathisla, Tomatin and Toniintoul.
Only two
In truth there is only two distilleries in the glen, apart from The Glenlivet Distillery itself: Braes of Glenlivet and Tamnavulin. The former was only built in 1973, and the latter was mothballed by its owners in 1995.

malicious animal magnetism Also known to followers of Christian Science as "M.A.M.," this was first postulated by Mary Baker Eddy in her system for divine healing. It was an idea borrowed from Mesmer, who at first thought that he had discovered a form of biological magnetism, but it turned out to be a form of suggestion that affected susceptible persons.
At the age of fifty-six (she gave her age as forty), the founder of Christian Science married Gilbert Asa Eddy, a sewing machine salesman. It was her third marriage. In a stirring court trial, Mrs. Eddy accused her husband of trying to send arsenic, via M.A.M., into her body. The charges, including witchcraft, were dismissed as groundless.
No evidence for any such sort of force has ever been produced, but it remains an article of faith with Christian Science.

Master Dissertation in Clinical Psychology: MARRIAGE AND INDIVIDUATION PROCESS.
Advisor: Professor Terezinha Feres Carneiro
Keywords: marriage, individuation process
Abstract: Regarding the difficult task of conciliating conjugality and individuality, this work aims for a greater comprehension of Carl Gustav Jung's concept of individuation. Pointing out the differences between individuation and individualism, the research focuses on the capacity of marriage to enable the process of individuation. From the archetypal point of view, and taking into account the socially attributed roles, the matters of gender are attached to the Male and Female Principles. The questions raised include the love choice since the oldest trends in history, up to the new paradigms in male-female relationship. Love and infatuation are seen in distinct ways, but both as unconscious psychological relationships, present in each one of us. Infatuation is regarded as an all- absorbing state that brings about creativity, in which the projection of the animus - anima provides the energy to explore the unconscious. The conclusion reached is that marital relationship facilitates the process of individuation of each one of the partners to the extend that, affording to put up with crises, they face their personal and family shadows. In that sense, marriage is seen as a possible relationship of alterity and love.

Beyond the everyday problems plaguing the Ventra rollout lies a potentially more troubling fact: The banking partner chosen as part of the Ventra program appears to have a long history of legal problems related to prior participation in prepaid debit schemes and other activities.
The public-private partnership set up to run Ventra includes (at least) four entities besides the CTA: First Data, Cubic Transportation Systems, Mastercard and Metabank.
Metabank, part of holding company Meta Financial Group, Inc., was chosen by Cubic as a partner in the prepaid debit card portion of the program, according to the CTA. Based in Storm Lake, Ia., Metabank was once known as First Midwest Financial and has long been involved in creating and operating electronic payment systems such as prepaid debit card programs, in part through its Metapay subsidiary.
However, Metabank has experienced a series of legal and ethical problems since 2004. Some of these problems are related to issues such as fraud, engaging in deceptive business practices in the subprime lending market and also directly related to operating a prepaid debit card system much like Ventra.
A brief review of Metabank's publicly-available legal history shows:
All of which leads to another key question: What was the selection process the CTA used in selecting its partners for the Ventra program, and what criteria was used in determing Metabank's qualifications? As well, what oversight existed over the creation of the entire Ventra program?
If the Chicago City Council decides to go ahead and hold hearings over problems with the rollout of the Ventra program, as some aldermen want to do, there's likely to be a whole series of questions the council members can ask of officials they call to testify.
Here's another good place to start.
In Part One of Ward Room's series on possible City Council hearings on Ventra problems, we looked at the reasons why CTA entered into a partnership with private companies for Ventra. In Part Two, we examined ways Ventra's banking partner may be profiting from fees.

Two Michigan police officers are recovering after being hit by a car on Interstate 275.
One officer's patrol car was pulled over on the southbound shoulder just after midnight when a second officer pulled behind him, got out and was standing on the passenger side of the first officer's patrol car, according to a release by the department.
A 2005 Pontiac Vibe being driven by a 24-year-old Dearborn Heights woman crashed into the first officer's patrol car, which caused the second officer who was standing outside to be thrown about 15 feet, police said.
Both officers suffered minor injuries and were treated and released from area hospitals.
The Pontiac Vibe driver and a 26-year-old passenger were not hurt.
The incident is being investigated by the Michigan State Police, who will decide whether any charges will be issued.
Police said the patrol cars had their emergency lights on.

Cioppino Reviews
Gourmet | March 2002
reviews & comments (175)
I agree with the others.. what great flavors. I whipped this up using some of the other suggestions - red peppers, shallot. I also only used the seafood I had at home - shrimp, scallops and catfish. I would love to try it with a broader spectrum of seafood. This dish was easy enough for a everyday meal - but also complex enough to serve at a dinner party. Very rich deep flavors - I thought the red wine was perfect. The leftovers were even better the next day - I served over spaghetti squash.
I made this exactly as written and it is fantastic. I wasn't sure about the red wine but it gave the dish more body and worked beautifully. Next time, I will skip the crab (more trouble than it was worth, really) and just add more fish, clams, scallops or shrimp.
I made this dish for my family this evening. We had eaten it at a restaurant a few months ago and I was very excited to find such a good recipe! I did read through the reviews before making it. That really helped me since I'm not that familiar cooking with a lot of the different seafood that goes into this meal. To be honest, I was a bit intimidated but it turned out perfect. This is what I did. I made the strong fish stock(recipe from this site) the night before by using the shrimp shells and a lobster tail. Instead of crab legs I used 1 1b. of crab meat as someone else mentioned. Then followed the rest of the seafood that this recipe called for. Instead of two onions, I used 1 and 1 shallot. I also made sure to sweat the onions, garlic and shallot before adding the spices and tomato paste. I would def. make this again. It's absolutely delicious!
WOW! This was spectacular! My husband had caught a 50 lb halibut so needed something special to showcase it, and this recipe was easy to halve for the 2 of us. Like many reviewers, I used white wine instead of red, red pepper instead of green, used shallots instead of onion and I made my own stock by boiling lobster and prawn shells. We used scallops, prawns, 2 lobster tails and the halibut and served with warm french bread to mop up this wonderful stew. Next time I will add some salmon to the mix and invite friends to share.
Hands down our favorite cioppino recipe! We have made it multiple times with red or white wine. We've decided we prefer the red and use a good tasting merlot. Only changes: use a red bell pepper instead of green and add a healthy dose of mussels instead of the crab legs. Made this recently for 14 people - doubled the recipe and made the 'broth' the day before the event. Next day before dinner we brought the stew up to a high simmer and added the seafood in recommended sequence. It was a huge hit, '...the best cioppino I've ever tasted,' per several guests. This will be a classic in our house for years to come!

MAHNOMEN, Minn. (KFGO AM) -- Tribal voters of the White Earth Nation have overwhelmingly passed a plan to scrap a constitutional rule that says tribal membership is based on blood, not family lineage.
Supporters say the tribes shrinking population will get a critical boost and the outcome makes the Chippewa tribe the first to change the rules for who can be a tribal member as well as revising its constitution.
Tribal Chair Erma Vizenor says she's pleased with the outcome...saying "the people have spoken."

I am taking the time to crawl through this thread from the OP right now.
I don't see how we've covered as much as we have in this thread and The Clash hasn't gotten a post.
I got to meet Joe Strummer a few years before he passed away. He acted like an old friend and reminded me of a friend I had years ago that lived in an anarcho-syndicalist house way out in the canyons of Orange County. Very cerebral and freindly, with a hint of something threatening that you couldn't quite put your finger on. Nothing creepy, just...a 'don't eff with the nice guy' kinda thing.
never loved a shovel, break your back to earn your pay, and don't forget to grovel

A few others I thought would have gotten a post or two by now:
Squares, longhairs, troopers, guitars, it's our way of expression, strychnine space race to the stars
don't be afraid, it's not too late, to save yourself
He wants to be Lief Ericksson - to discover America - but he's not
Sirius XM 41 is mixing in A LOT of OG Punk this Memorial Day weekend...FYI. Just played Aggression: Locals Only.
these are some of my favorite strummer related tunes:
i also saved a photo spread he'd done with GQ magazine in july 2002, shortly before he died. foxy guy for being nearly 50.

Q&A: Is it normal not to have a period after stopping birth control?
After a visit to my doctor in January, I went off birth control pills to try and conceive again. It is now March and there is no sign of my period. After taking a pregnancy test that came back negative. I am wondering if this is normal. How can I conceive if I haven't had a period in two months?
The first period after coming off the pill can be weird—heavy, light, late, or early. You may not revert back to normal for a few cycles. The only warning is if you don't have period after three months (assuming you're not pregnant). That should be reported to your doctor.
Conditions such as a stubborn ovarian cyst or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome can cause this—both are treatable. Thyroid conditions, medications such as antidepressants, and extreme exercise or dieting can also present in this way. You need a pow-wow with your doctor.

AJPH News Release
EMBARGOED UNTIL November 18, 2010, 4 PM (ET)
CONTACT: For copies of articles or full table of contents of issue, call APHA Communications at 202-777-2511 or email us.
The articles below will be published online November 18, 2010, at 4 p.m. (ET) by the American Journal of Public Health under "First Look," and they are currently scheduled to appear in the January 2011 print issue of the Journal. "First Look" articles have undergone peer review, copyediting and approval by authors but have not yet been printed to paper or posted online by issue. The American Journal of Public Health is published by the American Public Health Association.
American Journal of Public Health Highlights:
Primary disease prevention is not only good for our health, but also our budgets
In a new study from the American Journal of Public Health, researchers found that primary disease prevention would lead to huge potential national and state medical care savings.
Researchers estimated potential national and state-level medical care cost savings achievable through modest reductions in the prevalence of several diseases associated with the same lifestyle-related risk factors. Researchers used Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component data from 2003-2005 to estimate the effects on medical spending over time of reductions in prevalence of diabetes, hypertension and related conditions amenable to primary prevention by comparing simulated and counterfactual morbidity and medical care expenditures to actual disease and expenditure patterns. Nationally, they estimated that reducing diabetes and hypertension prevalence by 5 percent would save approximately $9 billion annually in the near term. Furthermore, with resulting reductions in comorbidities, savings could rise to approximately $24.7 billion annually in the medium term. They found that returns were greatest in absolute terms for private payers, but greatest in percentage for Medicare. Of note, state savings varied with demographic make-up and prevailing morbidity.
The study's authors stated, "Our estimate that $24.7 billion in excess medical spending would be avoided annually if primary prevention were able to achieve a 5% reduction in only the conditions we examined can be considered a conservative estimate of the investment in prevention activities that could be offset by medical care savings alone." They continued that although additional research is needed to provide direct evidence for large-scale efficacy and costs of this type of intervention, "The large potential savings to government health programs may provide justification for public investments in this research."
[From: "Potential National and State Medical Care Savings from Primary Disease Prevention." Contact: Barbara Ormond, The Urban Institute, Washington, D.C.].
Connections exist between neighborhoods and the risk of chronic disease onset in later lifeA new study from the American Journal of Public Health found the neighborhoods in which we live are associated with chronic disease onset in later life.
Researchers examined associations between multiple neighborhood features and two-year onset of six common conditions (hypertension, heart problems, stroke, diabetes, cancer and arthritis) using a national sample of older adults. The sample included adults ages 55 years and older in the 2002 Health and Retirement Study. Depending on the given condition, the final sample sizes varied from 2,731 to 7,414 for women and 2,780 to 5,363 for men. They hypothesized that all three domains — the economic, social and built environment — would contribute to increased risks of chronic conditions later in life. Researchers found that living in more economically disadvantaged areas predicted the onset of heart problems for women. Also, living in more highly segregated, higher-crime areas was associated with greater chances of developing cancer in men and women.
The study's authors said, "We call for further inquiries into the social and biological mechanisms that underlie these associations and point to promising additions in recent years of biologic measures to national surveys that will make these public health investigations possible."
[From: "Neighborhoods and Chronic Disease Onset in Later Life." Contact: Vicki Freedman, PhD, Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich.].
Urban areas with smaller food markets may be bad for your waistline
Living in an urban environment with smaller food markets may be bad for the waistline, reports a new study from the American Journal of Public Health.
The study's author examined the relationship between neighborhood food environment and adult weight status. Individual-level data on adults from the 1998-2004 survey years of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth was combined with ZIP code-level data on the neighborhood food environment. The study's author found that for residents of urban areas, the neighborhood density of small grocery stores was positively and significantly related to obesity and body mass index. Also, for individuals who moved from a rural area to an urban area over a two-year period, the author found that changes in neighborhood supermarket density, small grocery store density and full-service restaurant density were significantly related in the change in body mass index over that period. It was noted that smaller grocers tend to carry more unhealthy snack foods, and less vegetables and fruits.
The study's author suggested, "The finding that the neighborhood density of small grocery stores was positively and significantly related to the current obesity and BMI of residents of urban areas raises the question of whether policies that offer incentives for food retail establishments to increase the relative availability of healthy food or policies that foster the creation of neighborhood stores specializing in healthy food would be expected to improve food choices and health outcomes for neighborhood residents."

I threw both axes once and they both broke. They should not be advertised as throwing axes. They should be described as ornamental.
These axes are garbage. Don't waste your money.
cheap, dangerous, not worth a plug nickel. everyone who bought this item should get a credit. you all don't need to sale that junk.
very poor quality, heads loose in package, not designed to be able to tighten, all three broke within five throws.
They look good for the price. I can't wait to give them a throw. As always, customer service is outstanding. Thank you SG.
Pretty good for Pakistan products.

When should I plan to leave Newport?
Students should make their travel arrangements to leave Newport on Tuesday, August 12th, the final day of the 2014 program. They will need to check out of their residence hall room by 12 noon. If you plan to stay in Newport beyond this date, you can make a reservation at a local hotel. Visit this link for more information: http://www.gonewport.com/hotels-and-motels
When should I arrive in Newport?
Students should make their travel arrangements to arrive on campus at Salve Regina University the day before their program begins. Our arrivals center will be open for check-in from 11 am - 6 pm on the day before the program starts. Students will not be able to check in prior to this time. If you will be arriving after 6 pm, we will make late check-in arrangements with you.
It's important for all students to be on campus the day before the program begins to allow check-in before orientation begins.
What airport should I fly to?
We recommend that program participants fly to either Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) or Providence Green Airport (PVD)
Students who are flying internationally may prefer to fly to Boston, which is about 120 kilometers from the Salve Regina University campus. Frequent bus service is available from the airport to Newport with Peter Pan Bus Lines, and the cost for a one-way ticket is $31.00. For schedules and reservations, visit http://www.peterpanbus.com/.
For students who are already in the United States, you may also consider flying directly to T.F. Green International Airport (PVD) in Providence, Rhode Island. This airport is approximately 50 kilometers from Salve Regina University. Shuttle service from the airport to Newport is available through Cozy Cab, and the cost of a one-way trip is $25.00. For schedules and reservations, visit http://www.cozytrans.com/.
Where is the program located?
Our Summer Intensive College English program is located on the campus of our partner school, Salve Regina University. The campus is beautifully situated in the coastal town of Newport, Rhode Island. Students will enjoy access to all campus facilities, including recreational areas, the famous "Cliff Walk" along the Atlantic Ocean, as well as nearby beaches. Newport is an ideal location for summer fun and learning. For more information about Newport, follow this link.
Why is there a minimum TOEFL/IELTS requirement?
The Summer Intensive College English has been designed to address the specific needs of students who plan to attend a high school or an undergraduate program in the United States. In order for students to get the most out of the program, they need to have a minimum English language proficiency that will enable them to do the work expected of high school and college students. Students who cannot meet the language proficiency requirement will not be able to follow the English for Academic Purposes curriculum necessary to successfully complete the program.

Rated 5 out of 5�by akkesses Great Purchase My daughter sprained her ankle recently playing volleyball and after trying on what seemed like every brace sold in two cities, she decided on this one. To her, it was no contest. The Active Ankle Volt gave her the support she needed by not allowing her ankle to move laterally while still allowing forward and backward movement for serve receive and transitioning off the net. She has worn it for a week and a half now and has had no problems. Hopefully, this will be the only injury she has and we won't need it again, but it has held up well so I know it will ready if she does. September 16, 2014

Rated 3 out of 5�by Bunny Replaced Twice I bought two in March, replaced one in July and replaced the other one in August. Dick's Sporting good was good about replacing. I don't know if they will replace the replaced ones if something happens to the replaced ones. Let's hope we don't have to. September 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by bigdaddy Solid ankle protection I bought these as a requirement for my daughter's high school volleyball team. She said they are comfortable and make her ankles feel very sturdy during play. They are a little pricey at $50/foot but worth the investment for an injury free season. August 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by txaggiemom3 Had to replace TWICE! I've had to purchase two of these braces in the last 2 months--one for each of my daughters. They both snapped in half in the exact same place--the straight piece of plastic that runs perpendicular to the foot. I don't know what the deal is, but they're too dang expensive to constantly replace. I'll be looking for a completely different brand when these wear out. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Volleyball Volt Ankle Brace Good product - only wish it lasted longer for the price. We typically get about a year out of a pair playing year round volleyball. August 16, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by clare4199 Horrible Blisters I got these for my sophomore year playing volleyball because my coach wants all hitters to have active ankles but these are very uncomfortable and have me horrible, horrible blisters but after the first 2 hours of wearing them, you get used to the pain and can play through it but I would recommend a different brace. June 25, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by anonymous Do not last long A year ago, I bought two of these for high-school volleyball for more support when jumping in the front row because I had many friends suggesting Active Ankles. They worked great and were comfortable because the foam on the sides formed to my ankles after only a few practices. That winter, I played club volleyball and at a practice, the side plastic going up the side of my heel (the piece holding the upper support) snapped in half. It wasn't fixable but luckily my club coach had an extra one and gave it to me. About a month ago, I was playing at my high-school for an open gym and my ankle brace snapped again in the same way. The plastic on the side is flexible but weak. I am very disappointed as two have broken and they were $50 each. I'm no longer buying active ankle and have switched to Ultra Zoom Ankle Braces which I like much better and have more confidence that they'll last for a lot longer. June 12, 2014

Red Hot Chili Peppers Singer Anthony Kiedis -- Brawl with Bodyguard Outside Four Seasons - Watch More Celebrity Videos or Subscribe
Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis got caught on video fighting with a security guard who was trying to stop him from getting too close to the Rolling Stones at a hotel in Pennsylvania. TMZ posted video of Kiedis was walking into the Four Seasons in Philadelphia as the Stones were leaving. That caused confusion with security and they blocked Kiedis from getting in. He had been trying to walk in with a female friend, but security thought he was a fan just trying to get a closer look. Video showed 50-year-old Kiedis arguing with bodyguards. The brawl had to be broken up by police. No comment from Anthony or his people except Kiedis later told TMZ, "I love the Rolling Stones," without any comment about the altercation.

Last year I spoke to noted non-steroid user Henry Aaron about baseball players whose muscles and career statistics were obviously chemically enhanced, and his response was the verbal equivalent of taking a rip at a fastball.
Quoting: "My feeling has always been the same – the game of baseball has no place for cheaters. There's no place in the Hall of Fame for people who cheat." (For the rest of that column, click here.)
Well, Aaron is getting his wish. So is everybody who wants the baseball Hall of Fame free of cheaters.
Lower profile than the news that Bert Blyleven and Roberto Alomar were elected to the Hall of Fame was the word that Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Jeff Bagwell and Juan Gonzalez weren't. They're the first four players from the steroid era — and suspected steroid users — who've been on the HOF ballot.
The contempt most voters have for suspected cheaters is obvious. McGwire finally admitted steroid use last year, just as he was re-entering public life and being hired by the St. Louis Cardinals as their batting coach. But, almost amusingly, he received only 19.8 percent of the vote this year, which was down from 23.7 percent a year ago.
Bagwell received the highest percentage of votes among players from the steroid era at 41.7 percent, followed by Palmeiro (11 percent), Gonzalez (5.5). Enshrinement requires 75 percent.
It was McGwire who famously went mute at the Congressional hearings on steroid use, saying he didn't want to discuss the past. Palmeiro told the committee he had never used drugs, and punctuated his remarks by pointing his finger. But he was identified by former Texas teammate Jose Canseco in the book, "Juiced," as a steroid user in 2005, was subsequently suspended by Major League Baseball for 10 days for a positive test and in 2007 was named in the Mitchell report as a steroid user.
Palmeiro now claims a vitamin B-12 injection he received was tainted.
At one time, I believed players with perceived Hall of Fame numbers would get into the Hall of Fame anyway. Now, I don't think so. That includes Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa. At the very least, players would have to publicly admit past transgressions and apologize to have even a chance of buying public support and swinging voters.
My view had been that if I thought a player would've had Hall of Fame credentials without performance-enhancing drugs, I was going to vote him in. But Aaron changed my mind. I figure his opinion carries more weight than mine.

The unfortunate part about all of this is that the NON users are being punished as well. Fred McGriff is the classic example. His career is undervalued and overshadowed because of the users like McGwire, Bonds, Palmeiro – and votes for Crime Dog went down (21% to 17%). So essentially the writers are punishing both the users and non-users. Here are some McGriff stats to chew on:
HRs OBA SLG BA
Fred McGriff 493 .377 .509 .284
Orlando Cepeda 379 .350 .499 .297
Harmon Killebrew 573 .376 .509 .256
Willie McCovey 521 .374 .515 .270
Eddie Murray 504 .359 .476 .287
Tony Perez 379 .341 .463 .279
Fred is one of 18 players all-time with 10 or more 30-homer seasons…of the 17 others who have done it, nine are in the Hall of Fame and seven aren't yet eligible…that list included only four first basemen (must have played half the games that season at 1B).
Most 30-Home Run Seasons, All-Time, First Basemen
Jimmie Foxx 12 1929 – 1940
Carlos Delgado 11 1997 – 2008
Mark McGwire 11 1987 – 2000
Fred McGriff 10 1988 – 2002
Lou Gehrig 10 1927 – 1937
Fred is one of seven first baseman all-time to record eight 100-RBI seasons (must have played half the games that season at 1B)…those eight 100-RBI seasons are as many as Hall of Fame first basemen Willie McCovey, Orlando Cepeda had combined at that position.
Most 100-RBI Seasons, All-Time, First Basemen
Jimmie Foxx 13 1929 – 1941
Lou Gehrig 13 1926 – 1938
Carlos Delgado 9 1998 – 2008
Rafael Palmeiro 8 1993 – 2002
Fred McGriff 8 1991 – 2002
Jeff Bagwell 8 1994 – 2003
Johnny Mize 8 1937 – 1948
Fred is one of only 13 players all-time with 15 or more 20-homer seasons…Of the 12 others on the list, 10 are in the Hall of Fame and the other two aren't yet eligible … Fred had 14 20-homer seasons at first base, most all-time (must have played half the games that season at 1B.)
Most 20-homer seasons, all-time
Hank Aaron 20 1955 – 1974
Barry Bonds 19 1987 – 2007
Frank Robinson 17 1956 – 1974
Willie Mays 17 1951 – 1970

Reggie Jackson 16 1968 – 1985
Ted Williams 16 1939 – 1960
Babe Ruth 16 1919 – 1934
Ken Griffey, Jr. 15 1990 – 2007
Fred McGriff 15 1987 – 2002
Dave Winfield 15 1974 – 1993
Willie Stargell 15 1964 – 1979
Mel Ott 15 1929 – 1945
Most 20 homer seasons, First Basemen, All-Time
Fred McGriff 14 1998–2002
Mark McGwire 13 1987–2001
Eddie Murray 13 1978–1993
Lou Gehrig 13 1925–1938
In 50 postseason games, Fred batted .303 with 10 home runs and 37 RBI…only 3 other players have a .300 career batting average in the postseason with 10+ home runs and 35+ RBI: Lou Gehrig, Derek Jeter and Albert Pujols.
In 1994, McGriff was working on what would have been one of the greatest offensive seasons in major league history; unfortunately it was cut short by the work stoppage. He played in 113 of the Braves 114 games that year and batted .318 with 34 home runs and 94 RBI. In a full season that would have translated to 48 home runs, 134 RBI and 85 extra base hits.

I also wish that the ATL sportswriters would start actively campaigning for McGriff considering all he did for Braves baseball in the 1990's. No World Series win without him. He had remarkable postseason numbers for the Braves…

The problem with the whole mess is because reporters like you never did your job and just rely on rumor and innuendo, you have no proof that Bagwell ever used steroids. Yet, you lump him in this article with the known cheaters and I would assume you didn't vote for him because of that assumption. That is a travesty for Bags and other innocent players to be judged by a lazy, wanna-be comedian who coulda cared less while the actual juicing was going on.
January 5th, 2011
5:24 pm
Without a list of players who failed a drug screening, writers CAN judge more than numbers.
I'm sure the Hammer played against many a player on many forms of speed, also known by many a writer at the time society wouldn't have considered it a story.
Tough call for those with a ballot, I'd just go with a player a liked.
January 5th, 2011
5:25 pm
Bagwell falls into the "eye test". He admitted to using Andro; played and worked out with Ken Caminiti (who was an admitted user). His body got abnormally large during the height of PED use and his power numbers increased. At the age of 37, his body shut down on him (as many do after abandoning use).
Charlie Hussle cheated, too. Just in a different way.

5:30 pm
I couldn't agree more with Hank Aaron – or this article, Jeff. There is no place for these guys in the Baseball Hall of Fame. For those claiming Jeff Bagwell's "innocence," while he didn't testify before Congress, there has been plenty of discussion related to his possible use.
I'm also 100 percent for Fred McGriff – a class act whose numbers (thanks, KB) are as good, if not better, than guys already in the Hall of Fame.
January 5th, 2011
5:44 pm
I strongly suspect the HOF already has steroids users, but I couldn't vote for anyone who played since 1980. I knew high school football players doing steroids in the 70s and it would be absurd to think it wasn't already in all professional sports by then. You want to reach the highest levels in sports today, grab your syringe. Sad, but true.

I think the Bagwell argument illustrates the best argument for why you can't exclude players who might have used steroids from the HOF (not saying that's my position, just saying there is an argument to be made for that viewpoint). There's only a handful of players that we KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt took PEDs. Anyone else is suspected. While there's better cases for some than others (Bonds), there's no proof.
In a recent article on ESPN.com, Bags said he came into camp one year and Hampton looked at him and said, "Dude, what's wrong with you? You're so skinny, you look like you're on crack." According to Bagwell, that prompted him to started lifting weights like a bodybuilder (of course, how many bodybuilders are on PEDs). Not saying I believe that story, but, like I said, no proof one way or the other.
Over on the DOB blog, several of us were arguing earlier today with a guy who was insisting that Chipper had used steroids. While I would hope most HOF voters would think this guy was crazy, there is a danger that every hitter from this era gets painted with the same PEDs brush.
The one argument against this line of thought, though, is there is a way for someone who doesn't get voted in by the writers to make it into the HOF. I don't know of any process to remove someone from the Hall. Perhaps by the time these guys get to the veterans committee, we'll have a clearer picture of what actually happened and who did what.

KB – Good work. Looking at those numbers, how can McGriff be denied. It is surprising that guys who have HOF votes don't know this stuff. What then are they basing their votes on?
Also, how shameful would it be that a guy with Bonds' career numbers never sees the Hall. I wonder how his ego will handle that.
January 5th, 2011
6:04 pm
Oh, btw, Aaron suggested players who are only suspected of steroid use go in with some kind of asterisk. He then said, "If it's proven that you took any kind of drug or substance, then you shouldn't be there [in the Hall]. Like I said, the game has no place for cheaters."
January 5th, 2011
6:08 pm
Bagwell's numbers were able to garner at least 40% of the vote. What will a guy like Barry Bonds, even with all the controversy swirling around him, draw from the voters?

Outside Observer -
I think one difference there is the innuendos and suspicions around Bonds are much greater than the ones around Bagwell. That may counterbalance his bigger numbers. Not sure how much this will come into play either, but, from everything I've seen, Bags was a very likable guy. We all know Bonds wasn't particularly well liked. Not that that should factor in, but, when you're asking writers to make a subjective judgment about whether or not a guy used PEDs, it could.
January 5th, 2011

I concur – no drug users in the Hall.
January 5th, 2011
6:38 pm
I'm on the fence with this topic. I agree with Mr. Aaron that cheaters do not belong in baseball, BUT…..Athletes have been using so many things to get an edge forever. I'm sure there was a time when caffeine was used for a quick burst of energy. Was that cheating? What about vitamins? Would they have made one player better than another at one time? Weight lifting? Wonder who decided that bulking up would make them a better athlete? I know those are silly comparisons, but if some of these things were legal at the time, what makes them so wrong that athletes used them to get an edge? A line needs to be drawn somewhere.
People like Bonds put up phenomenal numbers, yet could be denied the HOF. They still keep the numbers so what is the difference? I think if these athletes get to keep the numbers/titles, then they should be eligible for HOF based on those numbers/titles, even if obtained in a not so noble manner. If the cheating keeps them out of the HOF, then strip the athlete of the numbers/titles as well. At least ** them.

good, glad they were denied. too bad their rookie cards aren't worth squat now
January 5th, 2011
6:45 pm
Angela, I think your best comparison would be "greenies" (amphetamines), the use of which has been widespread in baseball for ages. I do have to wonder how many players already in the Hall used them, what difference there is between the advantages they might have given and the advantages steroids may have given and why steroids are looked down on so much more, other than steroids are far more recent and the use of "greenies" has been common for long enough that it's just accepted.

We all say give someone a second chance. We gave Vick one, we gave Alomar one after spitting on umpire, so why can't we give Pete Rose one. He played the game the way it should have been played and his betting had nothing to do with the outcome of games. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

And for Angela and other sitting on the fence about this topic please remember the Baseball Hall of Fame Motto: "Preserving History, Honoring Excellence, Connecting Generations".
It says nothing about statistics but "honoring excellence," in my opinion, encompasses both on and off the field behavior. It just has to, otherwise you could have a rapist or murderer with a great batting average that qualifies for the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Use your vote, Jeff, to preserve history and honor excellence!

Jeff – I think you are correct about the players who have retired and are suspect for taking steroids not making the Hall of Fame. What about current players who still have a chance to try to "redeem themselves" in the eyes of the voters? I am thinking in particular of a certain SS for the Yankees.

Talking about Cooperstown – as someone who went to plenty of Braves games in the early 80's, I'd love to see Dale Murphy get in, but I don't think it is going to happen.

They can take the Hall away from Pete but they can't take away all those hits, wins and his reputation of how he played the game. Like Remembering the Titans, he is a Hall of Famer in my book!

Murph didn't hit 400hrs…..but I agree with you he got junk to hit and he still hit hrs to the opposite field…..Murph was soo strong…nobody pitched to him…and he still had good numbers….

Hey Jeff, why won't you take may comments about Pete Rose? You know he deserves to be in the Hall.

If Jerks were not allowed in then Hank Aaron would be left out! My friend and I and our boys traveled a few years back to see the Braves play a game on the road! The boys who were nine at the time approached Aaron and very politely asked him for a autograph! He would not even look at them! They once again addressed him as Mr. Aaron and said please and again no response. And while standing there some other kids walked up and he gave them a autograph and talked to them and when they left he looked at our kids and walked off!
My son and his friend to this day say that they wouldn't take his autograph if someone paid them! And they threw away the baseball cards they had of him!
Strange how the mind of a child can never forget some things! And sad to say….. I had no excuse for him! So no we don't listen to anything he has to say!

If you "thought" a player could have gotten in the hall without steroids? My goodness, my friend, since they were juicing, how in the world would you have any, remote, faint idea that they could have performed to that level without the dope? We know that a) they compiled some outstanding numbers, and b) they were on steroids or HGH when they did it, and c) therefore we will never know, it is impossible to know, that they could have done it otherwise. Grow up. Sportswriters are not omnipotent.

I agree with Hank, but it is a slippery slope. What about Gaylord Perry and our Don Sutton and their uses of foreign substances. Is that cheatin?

If you're standing at the St. Petersburg Shuffle Board Courts you might not notice there's another sport waiting in the wings. In a small storage space, by the courts, the St. Pete Bike Co-Op has set up shop.
For Allen Loyd, it's been a labor of love, and a long time coming.
"I started commuting by bike in the 70s," Loyd said. "When I moved to Tampa I rode my bike on and off Davis Islands to my high school which was on the University of Tampa campus."
Loyd, along with other members, volunteers to work the co-op. You can bring your bike to the shop, and they'll teach you how to fix it. They'll even tell you where to get the parts.
"Eventually we'll make it so people can build their own bicycles from the ground up if they want," Loyd said. "Or you can come in and buy a bike that's been donated and fix it up."
The co-op has only been up and running for a few weeks. They already have almost 500 fans on Facebook. The concept of the co-op isn't new. Tampa already has one, and St. Pete has tried in the past. Loyd hopes this time it'll be different, and he can encourage others to hop on their bikes.
"It's a great way to sense the world," Loyd said. "You can hear the birds and see what's growing. You get a completely different sense of the city."
