Laverock Hill is important
The Chestnut Hill Historical Society is dismayed to learn that Hansen-Lloyd, the developer of the Starr (formerly Simms) Estate in Cheltenham and Springfield townships, has withdrawn the compromise plan, which had been under discussion for the last year, and has reverted to its original plan to build out the Laverock Hill estate and in the process demolish the house and designed landscape on the property. ["Mansion faces demolition despite neighbors' concerns," Aug. 5]
This estate is extraordinarily significant as a design, even for the high quality of our community: the work of nationally important designers – architect Charles Platt and landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman – created a synthesis of house and estate which will be destroyed if the current plan is implemented. In a perfect world, this exceptionally significant estate would remain intact.
The compromise proposal developed by Cheltenham Township would preserve at least the main house, other important historic buildings and the gardens immediately around the house, and provides for a lower density of development in keeping with the character of the surrounding community.
The historical society seeks to manage change appropriately rather than stop development. The unusually high value of the historic design of this property and the open space to the greater community merits exceptionally sensitive treatment.
The proposed development of the 30-acre Sugarloaf site by the Chestnut Hill College provides a model for moving forward. While final agreements have not, as yet, been signed, during more than 10 months of intense negotiation with a coalition of community organizations under the auspices of the Chestnut Hill Community Association, the college has consistently demonstrated a willingness to hear the views of the Chestnut Hill community, to accommodate the concerns of the near neighbors, and to abide by the demanding environmental restrictions related to the Wissahickon watershed.
Significantly, during these negotiations the community sought to retain the existing historic structures. In response, the college revised its master plan to protect the majority of these buildings and their historical landscape, and in doing so, has gained a significant level of community support.
We urge all those who share our support for a compromise development plan to join us at the Cheltenham Township Planning Commission meeting at 7:30 p.m. Monday, August 23, at Curtis Hall, 1250 W. Church Rd. in Wyncote.

As a fairly recent resident of Chestnut Hill (I moved here with my family from Center City last summer), I felt the need to give some feedback to the current "Support Local Business" campaign I've seen mentioned in various local publications and notices around town.
Of course, I find the initiative to shop locally honorable. But, in practice, in Chestnut Hill, it is actually quite frustrating if not amusing. I have to laugh when I see many stores advertising their hours with question marks or the phrase "hit or miss." Also, the fact that many stores close at 5 p.m. (or even earlier) means that after a year of living "on the Hill" I've yet to shop in more than two or three stores.
I understand that Chestnut Hill is striving to maintain a small village feel with a quaint and charming main street – and that it does have. But, if one has a day job, which I do, and doesn't get home until 6, all the charm in the world isn't going to stop someone from purchasing the majority of necessities from the big chain stores in the surrounding areas that are more accommodating to those of us who work.
On Miles Davis, coke, one-note concerts, etc.: I am responding not to what I would expect to be outrage by some that such a gritty article was being foisted upon us by our Local (drug usage, sexual innuendo, OMG!), but that the "great jazz scene" described was so distant. ["Guess who I'm snorting coke with?" by Bob Ingram, Aug. 5]
Right here in our home town, Jim Dragoni, a really talented jazz musician and founder of the Music Studio, has brought (clean) living jazz legends like Mose Allison and Larry Coryell to Chestnut Hill, in intimate venues supplied by Paul Roller and Stagecrafters. These are people who have recorded, and whose music has been recorded, for many years – people of real musical inspiration and accomplishment.
My first experience hearing jazz was back in my home town of Dayton, Ohio, in about 1972, when some friends and I ventured into North Dayton to hear a guitarist named Larry Coryell and his quartet of that time. When I saw his show recently at Roller's in Chestnut Hill, I ran into him at the top of the stairs on my way in, and he said "Hello, how are you?" — just like I was visiting a regular friend.
As our conversation continued, I mentioned seeing him in Dayton and recalled that the keyboard player was blind. He rattled off all the guys who played with him that night, and when I asked, responded that he still kept in touch with them regularly. I asked him how the first show had gone, and he replied "It was a terrific show, and we had some great moments. But those moments are gone, and now we'll have to make some new great moments. Let's go see what happens."
The Chestnut Hill shows, for those who haven't yet attended, are sessions where the musicians often talk freely with the audience during and afterwards about sources of inspiration, history, technique, equipment – the kind of thing you just don't get in a large venue. Coryell also conducted a master session for students the Sunday after the concerts. Future concerts are in the planning; people should be looking for them, and the Local should be publicizing this great effort.
You can catch Jim Dragoni playing guitar certain evenings at Roller's or other local venues. I arrived late one recent evening to find him talking with a group of friends who had stayed after the dinner hour. He introduced us, and we ended up playing music together in several combinations for about two hours as the staff set up the tables for the next day's restaurant operations. Maybe not exactly Tony Williams' "Lifetime," but it's ours. And if enough talented people got together, it could be quite a scene.

(This letter was written last week to Rich McIlhenny, who wrote the article about the late Jules Csatary in the June 10 issue. The writer, Debbie Collier, gave us permission to print it.)
I'm sorry that this letter is so late in coming. I have schizophrenia and am severely technologically challenged. This is only the third e-mail I have ever sent. It is very frightening to me to use a computer.
My birthday is June 10, and the article that you wrote on Jules, which was published that day, was touching and informative. It made my day to have such a tribute to someone I had always been concerned about. There is some evidence that nicotine reduces the symptoms of schizophrenia. I, too, used to chain-smoke and pick cigarette butts off of the street. My lungs are severely damaged, but I quit before I died.
Three close friends who had schizophrenia died suddenly recently. Two were only 40 years old. Today there was an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer on the sudden death of another friend who had schizophrenia. He died due to the heat. His name was John Malkasian.
He, too, was a lovely man, very religious and loving. He had a charity of shaving poor elderly mentally ill men who could not shave themselves.
His death due to heat reminds me of 15 years ago, when I was alone in a rundown apartment during a heat wave with no fan or air conditioner. For some reason all I had was hot water. The temperature in my apartment was 120, and I lost 40 pounds in three months due to lack of food.
Flash forward to today. My 87-year-old father took me out of the public mental health system and paid for a private therapist, and I improved dramatically. Three months ago he purchased a wonderful condo in West Mt Airy and is renting it to me and my boyfriend of 26 years who also has schizophrenia.
It seems too good to be true. We are worried about what will happen in the future if my father should pass, but for now it's like living a dream.
Everybody who is mentally ill has a story. I nearly completed a master's degree in neuropsychology after my diagnosis, but had to quit three courses short because of my illness. I have written three books of short stories and poems, but I just share them with friends.
Again, thank you for your beautiful article. If only I could write something so touching about my friend, John, who recently passed.
Debbie Collier

This old (dangerous?) house
The older your home, the more charming and beautiful it may be — but its age also increases the odds for problems. From lead paint to asbestos, here's what to check for, and what to do if you find a potential danger.
More than 30 million homes — roughly one-third of the homes in the United States — are at least 50 years old. That's a lot of beautiful old houses — with lots of potential problems.
What should you look out for, whether you're the owner of a Victorian painted lady or a Beaux Arts brownstone? We've done your virtual inspection for you and identified seven key villains, along with their solutions, so read on. (Bing Cube: Check out photos of Victorian homes)
1. The villain: Old electrical systems
Why it matters: A study by the Consumer Product Safety Commission in the 1980s found that fires occurred disproportionately more often in homes that are more than 40 years old.
Over time, wiring in these homes can corrode, says Underwriters Laboratories (PDF file). Wires using a rubber compound that was widely used before 1950 are known to become brittle with age and when "they are subjected to bending, abrasion or harsh usage," UL says.
How to know if you have a problem: The only way to really know what kind of problems you have is to hire a trusted electrician to inspect the house, the experts say.
Here are some other common warning signs of electrical problems in older homes, according to the Electrical Safety Foundation International:
- Circuit breakers that frequently trip or fuses that often need replacement
- Dim and/or flickering lights
- Unusual sounds and smells from your electrical system
- Hot switch plates
- Electrical shocks
Article continues below
What to do: Two professionally installed updates to your old home can help reduce the fire danger significantly, the foundation says:
- Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are devices that replace standard circuit breakers in the electrical panel. They detect arc faults and shut down the power immediately.
- Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are specialized outlets that have the best protection available against electric shock. They're found mostly in kitchens and bathrooms.
Read: 30 quick fixes and tips for everyday home problems
The cost: Electrical inspections will vary by location. In the Boston area, for instance, Holt Electrical Co. charges $100 to inspect a home's electrical system (and waives the fee if work results from the inspection).
AFCIs cost $25 to $50; GFCIs cost just $5 to $10.

2. The villain: Old or leaking oil tanks
Why it matters: Many old homes relied — and still rely — on oil fuel. That fuel is either stored in tanks in the basement or buried in the yard. Typically, the old steel tanks have a life expectancy of just 10 to 15 years, writes Daniel Friedman, an inspector, consultant and author of the exhaustive home-inspection site InspectAPedia.com, which contains oodles of information about dealing with old oil-storage tanks.
- On our blog, 'Listed': Energy-efficient 'Smart Home' mixes technology, vintage pieces
The mess from a leak can range from trivial "to tens of thousands of dollars if oil has leaked from a buried oil tank into surrounding soils or, worse, into nearby waterways or wells," Friedman says.
How to know if you have a problem:
If your tank is inside your house:
- Look for obvious clues, like an oil spot under the tank, Friedman says.
- Know your tank: How old is it? What type is it?
- "We recommend an ultrasound test that measures thickness of the tank steel along its critical bottom section, the area more likely to be corroded and leaky," he says.
- Water is terrible for tanks. Look for signs such as rust and debris in the oil filter or at the oil burner when it's serviced, he says. (Read more about testing here.)
If you think the tank is outside your house:
- First, track down the tank. Look for fill or vent pipes in the yard or sticking out of the house.
- Only a pretty bad leak will be obvious to the eye. Hire a pro. A specialty company can test surrounding soil and do a low-pressure test of the tank to check for leaks. If you suspect any water, have the oil company pump it out.
What to do: If there are no leaks, either an above-ground or buried tank can be abandoned in place, Friedman says. That could be as simple as making sure it's empty and leaving it — or emptying it and filling it (in the case of a buried tank) with something like sand (more expensive).
The cost: An ultrasound test for an above-ground tank is roughly $125, Friedman says. Adding limited-term insurance is roughly $100.
Removal or replacement costs vary widely by location, tank size, etc., but can be significant: Removing an old above-ground oil tank and installing a new one can run $2,000 to $4,000, according to InspectAPedia.com. (This is a job for the pros, Friedman says.)
Luckily, states sometimes offer financial aid to replace aged tanks.
3. The villain: Radon
Why it matters: Radon is a cancer-causing natural radioactive gas that emerges from the ground, according to the Environmental Protection Agency's information site. You can't see, smell or taste it, but it kills about 20,000 people annually in the U.S., the EPA says.
How to know if you have a problem: Radon naturally dissipates into the atmosphere; every home that sits on or in the ground has it, but some homes trap it too well.
Homes with a radon level of 4 pCi/L (that's picocuries per liter) need to be fixed, the government says.
How do you know your home's level? Test. In fact, the U.S. Surgeon General recommends that every homeowner test his or her home for radon.
The test kits are cheap and easily available. Here are a few things that can increase the odds of radon in a home, says Marianne Saulsbury, co-owner of Pittsburgh-based Saulsbury Environmental Consultants:
- A lot of the ground floor is underground. (This is often true of homes in the Northeast, she says.)
- "Any crawl spaces with dirt or gravel floors or porous surfaces; those are potential entry points."
- If the lowest level of the home has double-paned (i.e. well-sealed) windows, or no way for radon to escape the home.
What to do: Get a reading slightly over 4 pCi/l? You might want to do a long-term test through a pro before deciding whether to fix the home, Saulsbury says. If the measurement is a lot over that mark, the home needs to be fixed quickly.
Slide show: 6 ways you may be neglecting your house
One part of a solution usually involves sealing cracks in the foundation. Also typical is a "radon reduction system" — a pipe-and-fan venting system from the basement floor out through a wall. (Check out the EPA's Consumer's Guide to Radon Reduction.)
The cost: A home-test kit often costs only about $20. A pro will charge between $125 and $150 for a test, Saulsbury says. Mitigation costs can vary widely; depending on the severity of the radon problem, a few pipes might be needed. Expect the cost of a fix to be $800 to $3,000, according to the EPA.
lead can cause criminality as these children mature
(Needleman, Allegheny
County PA).
Yes, we were all exposed to the same paint, but it wasn't as deteriorated, and we had better diets then. There wasn't fast food restaurants on every corner until the 1980s where I grew up, so we ate home cooked meals. Fatty foods will accelerate lead absorption into the body. And, like I mentioned, lead is sweet - it was an ingredient in ancient Rome, sapa, to sweeten wine.
Lead paint was advertised as THE paint of choice, and as one commenter said, they do swear by the coverage. Lead is still used in government structures - water towers, bridges, marine; it's only been banned for residential use since 1978 US (1971 NJ). And, the lead manufacturers are more than willing to spend millions of dollars defending their product, instead of using it to help educate everyone on the dangers of lead.
So as a parent who is living the nightmare, a word of caution to all those couples who are buying fixer-uppers during this economy. Lead paint is extremely dangerous to remove - google Lead Abatement to see what all is REALLY involved. It is worth the extra $500 to have the house assessed so you know where the hazards are, and the older the house, the greater the hazards.
Lead, along with mercury, arsenic and asbestos, is extremely
harmful to children. Back when lead was a primary ingredient in paint and
gas, the government failed to protect the public, siding on Big Lead's
side. Lead is a highly toxic element that should never be in the human
body. Lead can cause sterility, low sperm count, impotency, miscarriages
in adults. Lead crosses the placenta and passes through breast
milk. Why is it a problem now? Some of this lead paint has been
breaking down for up to 100 years - it was designed to chalk - that white dust
on your finger when you rub the paint? It's sweet (don't taste it) and just
the powder or dust gets on small children's hands. Any parent with a
teething baby will agree, infants will and do put everything in their mouths,
and lead dust is on the floor, perhaps tracked in from the soil outside, where
the paint has been weathering for decades. Do not plant any edibles
around your drip line if you live in an older home!!! Green leafy
vegetables absorb the most lead. Lead paint is disclosed on Title X forms
for house sales or property rentals, but not levels of lead in soil (a concern
for newer home developments that used to be farming lands - lead pesticides
remain in the soils), or lead in water ( how many communities cannot use their
tap water due to lead contamination - Washington DC is just the latest in the
My son was lead poisoned, and he is not your "stereotypical" child - my husband & I were renovating our 200-year-old home (they have SO much more character!) with a hot air gun and sander, removing up to a dozen layers of old paint. Since neither of us lived in an inner-city, neither of us had ever heard about lead paint. Our house had toxic levels of lead in every room, inside and outside the house, with toxic soil, and since we were homeowners, we had no recourse. The old painted wooden windows rubbed the paint, forming lead dust on the window sill that would blow onto the floor during a breeze. We replaced windows immediately, but our homeowners insurance refused to cover it (like the toxic dry wall of today).
How serious is lead poisoning? My son appeared visually healthy as an infant, but had levels over 4 times what the CDC considers elevated. He went through two rounds of oral chelation, which removes the lead that deposited in his developing bones - lead is similar to calcium and iron in structure. Unfortunately, one decade later, we are now dealing with the effects of lead while he struggles in middle school. The areas of his brain that were developing when he had toxic lead levels are part of the upper-brain functions, which are impaired now that education requires him to develop these areas. IEP, CST - those who know, understand. Unfortunately, ignorance within the education system abounds, and Special Education rates are steadily increasing every single year.
Now, stop and think - how many of your children were tested for lead, ever? If you don't live in the inner-cities, what the government considers to be "at-risk" areas, chances are they probably weren't tested (excluding Rhode Island and Iowa, where ALL children are tested). The CDC considers levels of 10 to be the threshold for lead, yet the most brain damage/loss of IQ points, occurs between 2.5 and 5. During the 1960s, the threshold was 60, and the threshold has been lowered until 1991, it reached 10. There is no safe level of lead in the human body, and yet the CDC opposes lowering the level to zero - there are lead industry sympathizers on the Lead Advisory Committee making decisions on the health and well being of OUR children.
Now, look at society today. ADD. ADHD. Autism. Aspergers. Oppositional Defiant. Nonverbal Learning Disorder. Something is neurologically impacting another generation of children. How many children are on Strattera, Ritalin, Focalin ZR, Adderol for concentration issues in our schools today? Violent crimes, unexplained violent outbursts, school shootings, what if lead exposure is the common element here? Studies indicate that lea
The older homes are well worth the investment. They're not a "cookie cutter" to the house two doors down. The craftsmanship in them is far above anything you can get today. Craftsmen use to take pride in their work. The asbestos from the shingles is not going to be in the air your breathing, unless your on the roof sniffing them. Get real folks. If you're in a home that has not been maintained and still has lead pipes, get ready. You're going to have major plumbing problems in the near future. Nothing lasts forever. Maintain your home and use some common sense.
Even if you think you're pretty smart or have a good memory, your brain is begging you to work it to its full potential. Getting stuck in the same routine, never exercising and eating junk food are all brain killers that decrease good cognitive function and increase your chances of memory loss, dementia and Alzheimer's. But with these 50 tips and ideas for flexing your brain power, you'll be able to boost performance right now and in the future.

There is very little if any lead to found in the piping used on water wells. True, some of the brass fittings COULD have a lead content. However, unless you have very aggressive water the minimal amount of lead in the brass will not be a problem. You are far more likely to have lead in the copper joints and / or plumbing fixtures.
As per federal law, ALL new well pumps made since the mid 1990's are 100% lead free. The best pumps such as Grundfos, Goulds, and others are all stainless steel, the cheaper pumps are made with plastic.

4 stocks that have risen from bankruptcy
Investors often view this category as risky. But many companies take advantage of Chapter 11 to reshape their businesses.
Post-bankruptcy stocks are often undervalued because they are usually ignored by mainstream investors who perceive them (often wrongly) as being of poor quality and very risky.
Investors remember the bad things that happened to the company to force it into bankruptcy. What they don't understand is that many companies take advantage of Chapter 11 to reshape their businesses and balance sheets so that they emerge as very strong competitors.
As a result, post-bankruptcy stocks can provide good returns to savvy investors who are not swayed by their past history but focus on the future prospects.
These companies all emerged from Chapter 11 over the last several years and look to us as though they are still undervalued:
General Motors (GM), one of the world's largest automakers, went through a government assisted bankruptcy in 2009. The company used its sojourn in Chapter 11 to modify labor contracts, rationalize operations and restructure its balance sheet.
As a result, the reorganized GM is a much stronger global competitor. We expect auto sales to continue to rebound and GM's stock to follow suit.
General Growth Properties (GGP) became the largest real-estate bankruptcy in history in early 2009 when it was unable to support its massive debt load.
With a new CEO and board of directors it emerged from court protection in November 2010 as two companies, General Growth, a REIT, and Howard Hughes Corp. (HHC), which focuses on master planned communities.
Today, General Growth's portfolio consists of 123 retail properties, many of them in premier locations. We expect both its asset value and its dividend to rise.
Resolute Forest Products (RFP), formerly known as AbitibiBowater, entered into bankruptcy in early 2009 weighed down by roughly $6 billion in debt.
Resolute is a smaller company today, but it remains a formidable competitor in the pulp and paper industry. The company should benefit from growth in several of its markets, including the recovering U.S. housing market and newsprint demand in emerging economies such as China.
The company took advantage of the Chapter 11 process to become one of the lowest cost forest products companies in North America. As the market for forest products improves, so should Resolute's stock price.
Lee Enterprises (LEE) is a publisher of regional newspapers. Like many in its sector, the company struggled with competition from the Internet, and it went through a short bankruptcy at the end of 2011. Since coming out of Chapter 11, Lee has paid down debt and built up its digital business.
Among those who think that regional newspapers still have a viable niche is Warren Buffett, who owns both stock and debt in Lee. The stock has done well in 2013 but could go a lot higher.

a crappy company will never become anything else than a crappy company.
the attitudes at the top permiate thru to the bottom.
the only way to fix a crappy company is to tear it apart.
while it may make for some interesting or exciting "buy low, sell high" stock, it's still a risky purchase.
just like individuals who declared bankrupcy. they are a very high credit risk.

Hey guys and gals,
Does anyone know if you are able to catch another [Sea Pony] once you have yours? I see people selling them but I don't want to cage mine if I can't get another. I also don't want to spend hours fishing if it's impossible as well... tried googling the answer and found nothing. Has anyone caught multiple of these?

Observer review
the observer Sun 29 January 2012
Chad Harbach's The Art of Fielding cross-breeds two genres with limited gene pools, the baseball novel and the campus novel, and comes up with a vigorous hybrid, entertaining and engrossing, though almost absurdly high-minded. There are only a few passages of unrelieved sporting technicality ("Rick O'Shea laced a one-hopper to the Amherst third baseman, who set in motion an easy double play") and even these are supported by the emotional narrative.
The story begins and ends with Mike Schwartz, all-round undergraduate athlete and driven man, and Henry Skrimshander, who can do only two things, namely place his catcher's mitt exactly where the ball will arrive off a player's bat and then throw it with great force and accuracy to where it needs to be. He is a natural genius as a shortstop, possessor of something closer to a superpower than a talent. Henry's profound knack isn't integrated into anything much resembling a personality, so he must learn to function socially and emotionally, and also to deepen his game in areas other than his mysterious gift, his ability to respond to a response almost before it has taken place. All of this Mike Schwartz, unresenting Salieri to this unlikely Mozart of the baseball diamond, makes possible by getting Henry accepted at his own college of Westish in northeastern Wisconsin.
This sort of relationship between young men once attracted no attention by the intensity of its innocence. The feelings it channelled were the ones that powered not just sporting events but armies and empires. Then the Kinsey report was published, and innocence seemed either self-deception or ruse. The buddy movie has never gone away, though recently renamed the bromance, but it can often seem unsure of itself. Even the simplest attitude is mined with contradictions, as when Homer Simpson, unreflecting homophobe, on being informed by tactful Marge that the local antiques dealer prefers the company of men, replies, "Who doesn't?"
One classic way of making it easier to examine non-sexual closeness between men is to include in the story someone who is unambiguously gay (think of Richard Griffiths as Uncle Monty in Withnail and I), reassuringly of a different species. This seems to be happening in The Art of Fielding when a character introduces himself to Henry with the words, "My name's Owen Dunne. I'll be your gay mulatto roommate." Such generically engineered characters are usually solitaries or else in stable relationships, their sexuality safely earthed. That's how it is with Owen, happily involved with Jason, but then the formula mutates and becomes more challenging.
For one thing, Owen tries out for the baseball team and is accepted. His style is fluid, utterly unmacho, but no less effective for that. Then he breaks up with Jason and becomes involved with the college president Guert Affenlight, across a number of boundaries race, age and previous orientation, since Affenlight has never before had feelings for a man. Indeed he has a grownup daughter, Pella, who arrives back at Westish at about this point in the plot, after the break-up of an impulsive marriage that derailed her academic career.
These four principals in the story are all young, in their early 20s, but each has been supplied with some paradoxical element cutting across mere youth. Mike Schwartz's body is already letting him down, his knees above all, since his athletic versatility brings with it continuous punishment. Henry, aside from his gift, is like a reclusive little old man. Owen's intellectual precocity and self-protective fogeyish manner age him, while Pella's precocious sense of failure gives her the complex attraction of the older woman. Then there's always her father, 60 but very spry, to act not as a shortstop but as a longstop for those readers unable to identify with puppies, however wounded.
Henry the genius shortstop has links with Roy Hobbs in Bernard Malamud's The Natural (Hobbs calls his bat Wonderboy, just as Henry calls his mitt Zero), but The Art of Fielding has deeper affinities with William Maxwell's wonderful novel The Folded Leaf, published in 1945, at about the last possible moment before Kinsey's report made lack of definition seem like evasion. Maxwell's heroes, Spud and Lymie, have feelings for the same woman, just as Mike Schwartz and Henry both become involved with Pella.
The book's references, though, are mainly to Melville. There's some pretext for this, since Guert Affenlight as a young man discovered the transcript of a historically unlikely lecture given at Westish by Melville in 1880 (he went on to write a book on, guess what, "the homosocial and the homoerotic in nineteenth-century American letters"), but a baseball trophy is not a white whale and Mike Schwartz, stern team captain though he is, bears no resemblance to Ahab. Henry's surname, Skrimshander, suggests scrimshaw, the whittling of whale ivory as practised by sailors, and his team-mate Starblind recalls Melville's Starbuck. Harbach is shrewd enough to withhold a reference where it would seem to be compulsory, when Affenlight the Melville scholar is surprised by the quality of the chowder turned out by the college kitchen.
The Art of Fielding seems to set out to destroy, singlehanded if need be, any idea that college sport is an overfunded and culturally narrow distraction from the real business of education. When Owen says to coach Cox, "I trust you don't object to having a gay man on your team," he replies, "The only thing I object to is Schwartz playing football. It's bad for his knees," which can hardly be the whole truth. There's a Mormon on the team, too, but he seems equally accepting. Crowds at ball games seem to find nothing funny about a player named Quentin Quisp (conceivably Harbach's homage to Queequeg). To paraphrase a remark made at one point by the chairperson of the Committee for Student Affairs, I know Westish is supposed to be a liberal arts college, but can it really be that liberal?
There are so many references to high culture that college baseball comes to resemble some sort of offshoot of Mensa. Mike Schwartz quotes Schiller in a pre-game pep talk. Owen reads Kierkegaard in the dugout. Introduced to Pella, Schwartz correctly identifies her name as that of a city sacked by the Romans in 168BC. Even Henry's point of view dwells on Homer rather than Homer Simpson. All of this would be laughable if it was done with less conviction.
On the book's first page there's an elementary slip in the point of view, with a reference to Mike Schwartz letting "his huge aching back" relax against a chain-link fence. Any creative-writing instructor would point out that Mike may feel the ache but hardly the hugeness, which is information aimed squarely at the reader. Perhaps Harbach has let it stand with the affectionate confidence of a driver who decides, after passing his test, not to respray the scratch in the coachwork that happened the first time he took the wheel.
Guardian review
the guardian Thu 12 January 2012
Chad Harbach's debut novel of baseball, friendship and late-flowering love has been a great success in America. Enthusiastically plugged by everyone from Jonathan Franzen to James Patterson, John Irving to Téa Obreht, praised to the skies by the New Yorker, GQ, the Oprah Magazine and the Milwaukee Sunday Journal-Sentinel alike, it was also chosen by the New York Times as one of the 10 best books of 2011. In October, Harbach's friend Keith Gessen, author of All the Sad Young Literary Men, gave the publicity campaign a mighty push by publishing a long article in Vanity Fair, now an ebook, which told the stirring story of the book's genesis: Harbach, a quiet, unassuming young literary man from Racine, Wisconsin, had toiled away on the novel for 10 years, while doing the Brooklyn equivalent of starving in a garret working on a small literary magazine and supporting himself as a copywriter while fending off the debt collection agencies. Then, in late 2009, after endless setbacks and rejections, a young agent took on the book, and a bidding war ensued, with Little, Brown stumping up an advance of $665,000. It has been riding high in the US bestseller charts.
It's easy to see why The Art of Fielding has done so well: it is charming, warm-hearted, addictive, and very hard to dislike. The story begins at an amateur baseball tournament in Peoria, Illinois, where Mike Schwartz, an outsized college athlete, notices "a scrawny novelty of a shortstop" the shortstop is a crucial fielding position, right in the firing line of right-handed batsmen fielding practice balls with an almost superhuman grace. He is Henry Skrimshander, the shortest member of an undistinguished team of South Dakota farm boys. Schwartz, a budding baseball Svengali, immediately discerns a "transcendent talent" and decides to bag him for his university, Westish, an idyllic if slightly inglorious (fictional) liberal arts college on the shores of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin. Under Schwartz's tutelage, Henry bears out his promise, galvanising the baseball team, the Westish Harpooners, into its best results in living memory, and personally chalking up the longest streak of error-free games since the great Aparicio Rodriguez (also fictional), the author of a quasi-philosophical tome called The Art of Fielding (sample quote: "Death is the sanction of all that the athlete does").
Henry is on the point of being snapped up by a major league team for a six-figure sum when he falls victim to a sudden, inexplicable and total loss of form. This is heralded in a setpiece scene in which one of Henry's throws goes violently awry, with crucial consequences for the other main plotline: the college president Guert Affenlight, a Herman Melville scholar, realises that after a lifetime as a light-hearted heterosexual shagger, he has fallen desperately in love with Henry's teammate Owen. Meanwhile, Affenlight's daughter Pella has decided to come to Westish in order to escape an unhappy starter marriage with an older man, and falls for Schwartz. All of this happens quite fast, in the first 80 pages; the rest of the book untangles the ramifications.
The Art of Fielding feels like a novel from another, more innocent age. It revels in themes that have been unfashionable in literary fiction for generations team spirit, male friendship, making the best of one's talents. In its optimism and lack of cynicism, in its celebration of the wide open spaces of the Midwest and its confidence in the deep inner meaning of baseball, it is a big American novel of the old school. Both Schwartz, the self-made man from south central Chicago, and Henry, the super-talented son of a metalworker from Nowheresville, South Dakota, are embodiments of the American dream, just as the Harpooners, a harmonious whole made up of prep school boys, Jews, Asians, Latinos and African Americans, is an idealistic microcosm of the republic. The great thing is that, by and large, the book makes all these potentially hokey themes convincing, even to decadent Europeans with no knowledge of baseball. The sporting detail poses some incidental problems ("Cut two, cut three, cut four, third to first, first to third, 5-4-3, 6-4-3, 4-6-3, 1-6-3, 3-6-1, charge bunt, charge bunt, charge bunt," runs one heroically impenetrable line) but is mostly easy enough to follow.
According to Gessen's article, the story began as a postmodern tale in the vein of David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest hence, presumably, the outlandish central conceit, and the long, silly names and later re-emerged in a much simpler style, looking dangerously like a Disney film. The final version is somewhere in between the two, comparable to a US indie film: an old story originally told, heartfelt but offbeat, with sharp dialogue, likeable protagonists and amusing minor characters.
The plot perhaps cleaves too closely to the generic conventions of the team sports movie, right down to the climactic scene where everything depends on one moment's play. And the characters tend towards the wish-fulfilment end of the spectrum: the heroic mentor, the quirky, brilliant friend (Owen introduces himself with the surprising words "I'll be your gay mulatto roommate"). The prose occasionally descends into tired journalese or bog-standard sports filler: "Rick had saved his butt. They were ahead 2 to 0 " But in general the effect is pretty much irresistible. Harbach's writing has been frequently compared to Franzen's, and shares an intelligent, unaffected directness. The Art of Fielding also has a similar post-postmodern, post-ironic appeal to Franzen's novels: it creates a richly peopled world that you can fully inhabit in your mind, and to which you long to return when you put it down.

Other rafters eventually freed him and got him to shore, administering CPR to no avail.
Sheriff's deputies and members of the Swiftwater Search & Rescue unit arrived but also were unable to revive Moody.
Sheriff Jerry Jorgensen urged water sports enthusiasts to exercise extreme caution when on the river below the dam, noting that water volume this week is running high due to increased releases from the reservoir.

Herbal remedies have gained new popularity thanks to the release of scientific evidence validating their effectiveness. Hibiscus may have only recently become popular as an herbal supplement, but it does have strong benefits to offer. Just a few hibiscus effects are:
• Lowered Blood Pressure
• Cholesterol Reduction
• Weight Loss
• UTI Prevention
Scientists are researching the potential for further benefits from hibiscus, but what we know of hibiscus establishes it as a highly useful herb.
Hibiscus is best known for its effect on blood pressure. Several studies have examined its effects, and have observed that hibiscus lowers systolic blood pressure by an average of 7%, and in some cases as much as 13%. This is comparable to most standard blood pressure medications. Although the secret to hibiscus' efficacy has not been identified, scientists have proposed two theories. One theory holds that hibiscus can prevent constricting of the arteries by preventing the release of certain enzymes that increase inflammation. A second theory holds that the anthocyanins found in hibiscus can improve blood vessel function and strengthen collagen, providing a sturdier structure to the blood vessel walls. Whichever proves true, scientists are confident of hibiscus' ability to relieve blood pressure.
Alongside its ability to alleviate high blood pressure, hibiscus improves health by managing cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. One study conducted recently on hibiscus benefits noted a significant reduction in the level of harmful LDL cholesterol, as well as a drop in triglyceride levels. On the reverse side, hibiscus actually encourages the production of HDL cholesterol, the body's natural cholesterol, capable of clearing plaque from the bloodstream. The cause seems to be hibiscus' content of anthocyanins, which are known for their effect at regulating bad cholesterol and boosting good cholesterol. Hibiscus also offers an antioxidant, which clears free radicals from the bloodstream and prevents them from combining with cholesterol to form plaque.
Hibiscus is equipped with a few qualities that may assist with weight loss. Hibiscus can inhibit the release of a certain enzyme called amylase. This enzyme is responsible for the breakdown of complex sugars and starches, which can then be stored as fats. Preventing this process stops the sugars and starches from being absorbed into the system, thus preventing weight gain. Hibiscus also has a micronutrient called phaseolamin, which early studies imply can suppress the body's fat absorption.
Hibiscus has shown significant effect in reducing a urinary tract infection (UTI), particularly in cases where the patient experiences relapses. Hibiscus has been shown to both treat these infections and protect against them. A study conducted on women prone to eight or more infections a year tested hibiscus' effectiveness versus a placebo. Women taking hibiscus saw a 77% reduction in the appearance of infections over a six month period, dropping an average of four infections to one or even none. Hibiscus has several properties that are responsible for this outcome. It is a high source of vitamin C, a known immune system fortifier that promotes the body's natural infection-fighting ability. Hibiscus also contains antimicrobial compounds, including polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins and chorogenic acid. These four compounds are capable of not only eliminating bacteria, but of preventing infection by acidifying the urine, which makes it impossible for bacteria to remain in the urinary tract. Scientists also believe that acidifying the urine can protect against the formation of kidney stones.

PLAYERS: Hutson Mason, Aaron Murray
TEAMS: Georgia Bulldogs
TEAMS: Georgia Bulldogs
The first word on Hutson Mason'Äôs reaction to Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray'Äôs decision to return for his senior season has come from Hutson Mason himself; while he admits to being 'Äúfrustrated'Äù, he states he isn'Äôt considering a transfer 'Äîat least not yet. 'Ķ'ÄúCoach Richt is a straight up honest guy. He can'Äôt make Aaron'Äôs decision for him. Nobody promised me anything.'Äù 'ÄúI'Äôve enjoyed my time learning and (playing) behind Aaron. He'Äôs a classy guy and I only wish him the best in whatever he does. 'ÄùThis scenario is actually a main reason why Mason redshirted last season, to make sure that he guaranteed himself at least one year of eligibility post Murray. In his three years with the Bulldogs, the 6-foot-3, 200 pound Mason has seen limited action, playing in eight games, completing 27 of 47 passes for 356 yards and three touchdowns.¬ÝHis last action was a fourth-quarter drive against LSU in the 2011 SEC championship game Mason, the Georgia High School single-season passing record holder

What Made Joe Terranova Like This Refinery Company
Shweta is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Joe Terranova, chief market strategist for Virtus, recently said that amidst the current ongoing tension in the Middle East and with the strong movement in crude oil prices, he prefers refinery stocks--especially Tesoro (NYSE: TSO). This news made me have a look at Tesoro's stock performance, and I was very impressed with its growth of ~49% in just the last five months. However, Tesoro is not the only company with good share price gains; its other two competitors have also shown decent growth. Valero has shown an increase of ~31% and HollyFrontier has grown by around 25%.
Let's have a look at its peers:
Valero has been one of the top picks by various hedge fund managers. Recently, billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller has also increased his investment in the company. It is working towards increasing its Port Arthur plant's production capacity to 95,000 bpd from 85,000 bpd by the end of this year. Although the company recently faced an unplanned shutdown of this plant, after 10 days the company again started production at its normal rates. Also, it is expanding capacity in its Louisiana refinery, which is expected to be fully operational by mid-2013. With these expansion plans, Valero will continue to be the largest US refinery company.
On the other hand, HollyFrontier is also looking promising, although it didn't see good revenue growth against its other two peers; however, it has a higher margin of 15% against the industry average of 11%. One of the main drivers of its high margin is the locations of its refineries. It has plants in Rocky Mountain and Plain states as opposed to the Gulf Coast, which provides it the extra cost advantage. It also has a good balance sheet, with a debt/equity ratio of ~0.21 and a current ratio of 2.23. Another point that makes this stock more favorable is its high dividend yield of 5.6% in last year.
As for Tesoro, the company has some very good deals that would help it on to the higher growth path. Tesoro announced that it will acquire BP's Carson Refinery for ~$2.5 billion in Aug. 2012. However, the company faced some resistance from Consumer Watchdog, which asked the government to block this deal. But it is expected that this deal would be finalized in 2013. This addition would help the company reduce Chevron's lead in production capacity in California. With this deal, Tesoro is expected to save $250 million annually.
Apart from the deal, there are various organic growth avenues, which should benefit the company in the future. Tesoro recently completed expansion plans of its Mandan refinery; with this expansion, the total production has reached 68,000 barrels. Looking at the growing demand of diesel, I think the company has taken a very wise decision. Additionally, the company recently started sending crude oil from Bakken to its Anacortes refinery; this would also help it to improve its revenue in the future.
Lastly, the company also has very good balance sheet the current cash available after 3Q 2012 is ~$1.37 billion. Furthermore, its cash available improved after the company recently sold its Anacortes Rail facility to Tesoro Logistics, which helped it get ~$180 million. Overall, I think this stock provides a very good opportunity for am investment looking at its strong growth prospects and solid balance sheet. I would recommend buying this stock for long term growth.

In fact, the report says several former officials "empowered" Jerry Sandusky to continue his abuse, and investigators say legendary head football coach Joe Paterno could have stopped the attacks had he done more.
In a statement released Thursday along with the 267-page report, Louis Freeh, the former FBI director and federal judge who spearheaded the review, blasted several top former officials at the school, accusing them of forging an agreement to conceal Sandusky's attacks.
"Our most saddening and sobering finding is the total disregard for the safety and welfare of Sandusky's child victims by the most senior leaders at Penn State," Freeh wrote. "The most powerful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized."
He went on to name four former school officials -- former President Graham Spanier, former Vice President Gary Schultz, Paterno, and former athletic director Tim Curley -- saying they "never demonstrated, through actions or words, any concern for the safety and well-being of Sandusky's victims until after Sandusky's arrest."
Their failure "to protect against a child sexual predator harming children" lasted "more than a decade," the full report says.
"They exhibited a striking lack of empathy for Sandusky's victims by failing to inquire as to their safety and well-being, especially by not attempting to determine the identity of the child whom Sandusky assaulted in the Lasch Building in 2001. Further, they exposed this child to additional harm by alerting Sandusky, who was the only one who knew the child's identity, of what (Mike) McQueary saw in the shower on the night of February 9, 2001."
Then-Penn State graduate assistant McQueary reported to Paterno that he had seen what appeared to be a sexual attack involving Sandusky and a boy in the shower room on that night.
The report also says the four men, "unchecked by the board of trustees that did not perform its oversight duties, empowered Sandusky to attract potential victims to the campus and football events by allowing him to have continued, unrestricted and unsupervised access to the university's facilities and affiliation with the university's prominent football program. Indeed, that continued access provided Sandusky with the very currency that enabled him to attract his victims. Some coaches, administrators and football program staff members ignored the red flags of Sandusky's behaviors and no one warned the public about him."
The Penn State board of trustees issued a statement saying it is reviewing "the findings and recommendations. We expect a comprehensive analysis of our policies, procedures and controls related to identifying and reporting crimes and misconduct, including failures or gaps that may have allowed alleged misconduct to go undetected or unreported. We will provide our initial response later today."
The board added that it is "convening an internal team" to analyze the findings.
The report says investigators conducted 430 interviews of "key university personnel and other knowledgeable individuals."
"We tried to speak to Sandusky; he did not want to speak to us," Freeh said at a news conference.
More than 3.5 million "pieces of pertinent electronic data and documents" were analyzed, the report says.
The report found that janitors who were aware of the abuse took no action, out of fear.
"They witness what I think in the report is probably the most horrific rape that's described," Freeh told reporters. "And what do they do? They panic." One janitor, a Korean War veteran, said it was "the worst thing he's ever seen." He and other janitors were "alarmed and shocked," but were afraid that if they reported it they'd be fired.
"They said the university would circle around it. It was like going against the president of the United States. ... If that's the culture on the bottom, God help the culture at the top."
The review casts a dark shadow over the school's storied football program and over the career of Paterno, who was widely beloved for bringing Penn State football to national prominence. He died on January 22.
Attorneys for Spanier, Schultz, Curley, Paterno's family, and Sandusky did not immediately respond to CNN's requests for comment.

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMMY), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary and novel sterile and topical drug formulations, today announced that it has come to an agreement to acquire Pharmacy Creations LLC (www.pharmacycreations.com), a premier, state-of-the-art compounding pharmacy located in Randolph, New Jersey. This acquisition would permit the Company to make and distribute its patent-pending proprietary drug formulations and other novel pharmaceutical solutions.
Imprimis Pharmaceuticals and the team at Pharmacy Creations have been working together since last summer when the Company became aware of and subsequently acquired the intellectual property for its suite of ophthalmic formulations from Pharmacy Creations' co-founders, Scott Karolchyk, MS, RPh, DNM, FIACP and Bernard Covalesky, MS, RPh.
"We believe this acquisition represents a critical stepping stone toward achieving our vision of building a national footprint able to deliver our proprietary and other novel formulations to Americans. Even more than the physical Pharmacy Creations facility, we are ecstatic to have their incredibly skilled and knowledgeable employees join the Imprimis Team," said Imprimis CEO Mark L. Baum. "After extensive diligence, we believe the acquisition of Pharmacy Creations will support our mission to solve unmet patient needs through the development and commercialization of proprietary and novel sterile drug formulations. Importantly, this transaction will also bring new and exciting intellectual property assets to Imprimis that we expect to add value to our business, particularly in ophthalmology."
"Our team is thrilled to join Imprimis and collectively build on our shared values of integrity, innovation, safety, quality and evidence-based development. Together, we believe that Imprimis and Pharmacy Creations are going to raise the bar and set a higher standard in quality and innovation," stated Bernard Covalesky, Pharmacy Creations co-founder.
"I've been in the healthcare field for nearly 30 years and strongly believe that Imprimis Pharmaceuticals and its innovative approach and unique business model have the potential to revolutionize the way the market approaches personalized medicine. Collaboration with physicians and pharmacists can produce incredible innovation. The ability to take that innovation, validate it and make it available to the market quickly - for the benefit of patients and physicians - is powerful," added Scott Karolchyk, Pharmacy Creations co-founder.
Pharmacy Creations was established nearly 15 years ago and has created a deep formulation portfolio, well-established relationships and a dedicated and tenured staff. Through an unrelenting focus on meeting physician and patient needs, Pharmacy Creations now achieves multi-million dollar annual revenues.
This transaction is expected to close on or before March 31, 2014, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. Additional details can be found in the Company's 8-K filing (www.sec.gov).
San Diego-based Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMMY) is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary and novel sterile and topical drug formulations.

Hands on with the Nikon 1 J1
With the announcement of the Nikon 1 series of compact interchangeable-lens cameras, Nikon became the first of the "big two" DSLR makers (the other being Canon) to introduce a mirrorless-system model. Rumors and a countdown clock amped up the excitement surrounding Nikon's camera announcement, which finally happened in New York earlier this week.
After Nikon's unveiling, journalists left with early production units of the Nikon 1 J1 (the Nikon 1 V1 is still in preproduction) and a trio of lenses. I tested the J1 at a shoot set up by Nikon, complete with glam models and a dancer.

Weekend Meditation: Time
Summer's over and the days where lunch is just a matter of few sliced tomatoes and a lug of olive oil or placing a bowl of fresh peaches and a knife on the table for dessert are gone. We've entered into the season of roasts and braises and long-simmered pots of beans. The vegetables we crave (squash and potatoes and turnips) need plenty of time in the oven in order to be edible and dessert is likely to be a pie or crumble or even a frosted cake. The food we want to eat now is food that takes time.
This fits nicely with spending a little more of our lives indoors, as the weather turns chilly and cold rains fall. It also fits in with the agrarian timetable, when the bulk of the planting and harvesting is behind us and there might be a few extra minutes to spend at the stove. Most of us aren't on that timetable anymore but still, it beats in our blood, and we quite naturally find ourselves falling into its rhythms. If you're like me, you feel a little rush of pleasure when waking up on a Sunday morning with the thought of putting together a nice, hearty soup for dinner.
The time and effort we spend on things reveals our deepest heart, for we cannot labor long at something that isn't important to us. Look at what you choose to do and you will see who you are. Me, I'm a slightly introverted haus frau, at least for today. Cold weather cooking gives me an excuse to be a little fussier than normal, to chop and dice and mince my way into a quiet, contented feeling. I want to spend more time close to the stove where it's warmer and promises of a delicious supper rise up like steam from a freshly baked dinner roll.
I'm old-fashioned in that I've come to value the things in my life that have an enduring, time-invested quality to them, like the well-worn wooden spoon that belonged to my mother or the soft wrinkled linen of an old tea towel. I've got nothing against bright, sparkly newness but in the end I treasure most the worn smooth surfaces of things that have been around a while: an old dutch ovens glazed with the patina of countless stews, a sweater with an unravelled hem, a favorite mug with a little chip in the rim that feels pleasingly rough on my lip.
Fall is the season where time reveals a deeper truth, a more settled and seasoned way of knowing, the wisdom and delight of the imperfect.

This is so beautiful! It brought a little tear to my eye...it was so nice to wake up to this morning. I love Fall!
This is lovely!
Gillian Welch is awesome. Just felt the need to put that out there. Also - you are making me want to make soup today! But I'll maybe settle for bread instead...
this is beautiful & completely encompasses how i feel about cooking & fall...thank you dana!
Lovely. This line especially, for me:
"The time and effort we spend on things reveals our deepest heart, for we cannot labor long at something that isn't important to us."
Well-said. And true.
Such truth here Dana! Thank you. I have always believed that in order to really "look" at yourself you have to move slowly and quietly, because who we are really speaks so softly that it's hard to hear in a rush.
I am indeed making an apple crisp today!
$3.50 a pound for pears? I hope they're the most delicious pears, ever
How soulful this post is! It's what my heart intends but I could never have expressed so beautifully. Thank you.
Your description of fall is right on the button! I am still mourning the end of summer produce, but fall comfort foods certainly help ease the loss. I spent the better part of the weekend baking apple crisp and slow cooking a double batch of black bean soup. Mmmm...
just pleasantly lovely. Thank you
