Coaching Style:
I want to have fun and enjoy everything we do as a team. Being a part of a team is a special experience and I want to enjoy every moment by working hard, having high expectations for our team and myself and enjoying the individual personalities of every member of our team. I want to be successful on the court but I also want our players to grow as people and grow closer to Christ as well.
What is special about athletics at Tabor:
Tabor is a decidedly Christian institution which provides its students with great opportunities to grow academically, athletically and spiritually. The athletic department seeks to stimulate Christian growth through providing excellent programs that promote growth. I love having the ability to integrate my faith into my profession.
How do you integrate faith into coaching:
There are many ways we will implement our faith but some simple examples include: weekly devotions, prayer before and after practice, small group bible studies led by team members, various service projects, by competing hard and simultaneously respecting our opponents and officials, loving and supporting team members and using the talents and abilities God has given us to represent His Kingdom.

New England Patriots star tight end Aaron Hernandez is expected to play today, but he will almost certainly be limited to a high degree against the Seattle Seahawks. Wide receiver Julian Edelman has been ruled out for the third straight week after injuring his hand in Week 3, which makes Hernandez a better chance of playing.
He sprained his ankle early in the Week 2 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, and the timetable was set at four to six weeks. If he returns today, then he has basically hit the "best-case scenario" point of the deadline. He will most likely be playing today, and I expect him to get a handful of targets.
Greg Bedard tabbed Hernandez for 15-20 targets and wrote that he will "try to push it", as the star TE is one of the toughest players in the league and will want to make as much of an impact as possible.
A talking point during the week was whether or not Hernandez would even make the trip to Seattle, but he has and is such a talented player that he can make an impact even if in a limited role whilst also being less than 100%. He's going to be a game-time decision, but there is a better chance he plays today than not. In fact, there is a very good chance he plays, but he will be getting around 20 snaps.

Who Really Owns The Internet?
Why are a tiny handful of people making so much money off of material produced for nothing or next-to-nothing by so many others? Why do we make it so easy for Internet moguls to avoid stepping on to what one called "the treadmill of paying for content"? Who owns the Internet?
The People's Platform, by Astra Taylor, was published this week. You can buy it wherever capitalism allows you to obtain books:
• Powell's
Previously in this interview series:
A conversation with Matt Taibbi and Molly Crabapple.
Discussing the labor of sex work with Melissa Gira Grant.
In her excellent new book The People's Platform, Astra Taylor thinks through issues of money and power in the age of the Internet with clarity, nuance, and wit. (The book is fun to read, even as it terrifies you about the future of culture and of the economy.) She brings to bear her estimable experience as a documentary filmmaker—she is the director of two engaging films about philosophy, Zizek! And Examined Life—as well as a publisher and musician. For the past several months, she has been on the road performing with the reunion tour of Neutral Milk Hotel (she is married to the band's lead singer, Jeff Magnum). We spoke over coffee on the Lower East Side during a brief break from her tour.
Can we solve the issues that you talk about without radically reorganizing the economy?
No. (Laughs) Which I think is why I've been so active. I've been thinking about this in connection with all these writers who are coming up who found each other through Occupy, and why all of us were willing to participate in that uprising despite all the problems and the occasional ridiculousness of it.
But the economy can be revolutionized or the economy can be reformed, and I don't discount the latter option. That level of social change happens in unpredictable ways. It's actually harder to think of a revolutionary event that has had a positive outcome, whereas there have been lots of reforms and lots of things that people have done on the edges that have had powerful consequences. Would I like to see an economic revolution? Definitely. But I think there are a lot of ways to insert a kind of friction into the system that can be beneficial.
This book is about economics, and the amazing, probably very American ability to not talk about economics—particularly with technology, which is supposed to be this magical realm, so pure and disruptive and unpredictable that it transcends economic conditions and constraints. The basic idea is that that's not the case.
To a lot of people this is self-evident, but I was surprised at how outside the mainstream conversation that insight was. When money is brought up, there's this incredible romanticism, like the Yochai Benkler quote about being motivated by things other than money. But we're talking about platforms that go to Goldman Sachs to handle their IPOs. Money is here. Wake up!
The people at the top are making money.
In that conversation about creativity and work, there's so much ire directed at cultural elites. And rightly so. Newspapers suck. They're not doing the job that they could do for us. Book publishers publish crap. Cultural elites deserve criticism. The punching bags of this Web 2.0 conversation all deserve it. But when we let the economic elites off the hook, that's feeding into the tradition of right-wing populism. Ultimately, the guys getting rich behind the curtain aren't being treated as the real enemies.
You mention that when you wrote to people who posted your films online, you either received no response or a very angry response.
One thing I took away from that experience is that it's almost as though people really believe that the Internet is a library. "I should be able to watch on YouTube a full-length film about philosophy. It's a library, it should be full of edifying, enlightening things!
My response was that I spent two years making this film, and I want a window—I didn't ask them to take it down forever, I asked for a grace period of I think two months. Conceptually, we're not grasping the fact that even though there are private platforms that increase our access to things, first those things have to exist. How have we not thought through how these products are funded?
I empathized with the person on the other end, who wanted these films. I made them because I hoped that people would want them. But I can't invest another two years of my life in an esoteric and expensive production if all I can do is put it on YouTube and pray that it goes viral.
And even if it goes viral, you might not make any money from it.
Right. The whole model doesn't work in that context. And I can see both sides. Especially on the copyright issue. As a documentary filmmaker, you're so dependent on gleaning from the world, gleaning from other people's creations. You're not always the author of the words on the screen. I don't want some closed, locked-down scenario where every utterance is closed and monitored by algorithms who have no ethical imperatives and have no nuance and who don't understand fair use.
Another person I've talked to for this series is Benjamin Kunkel, who said his introduction to Marxist theory is already a bit antiquated because of Jesse Myerson's Rolling Stone article, which recommends, among other things, a universal basic income. As I was reading your book, I was thinking about how a universal basic income might help.
I actually mention universal income in passing, in the chapter that looks at the enthusiasm for amateurism that was actually a bit more prominent a few years ago, when I started writing. "We finally have a platform that allows non-professionals to participate!There were things in that conversation that were so reminiscent of utopian predictions from centuries past about how machines would free us to live the life of a poet. "We'll only work four hours a day.Why didn't those visions come to pass? Because those machines were not harnessed by the people. They were harnessed by the ruling elite.
I was struck by how ours is a diminished utopianism. It wasn't that we would use these machines to free us from labor; it was that now in our stolen minutes after work we can go online and be on social media. How did it come to this, that's that all we can hope for? And the answer is in how the economy has been reshaped by neoliberalism or whatever you want to call it over the last few decades.
The idea of labor-saving devices has been around. Oscar Wilde, Keynes. But it was pretty common in the 1960s, when there was a robust social safety net. So I think you're exactly right, that we need something in the public-policy and social sphere, not the technological sphere, to address these issues.
It's great that people are talking about a universal income, at least in our little tiny circles. You step outside bubble of the young intellectual left of New York, and people will say: What the fuck are you talking about?
We think this idea is getting traction, but it's because we all follow each other online and we're all reading the same magazines. Not everyone is reading Kathi Weeks or Ben Kunkel in their free time. I don't agree with Ben that his book is out of date because of that one article in Rolling Stone. We need to keep harping on these basic concepts.
I think it's a ripe time for it, considering recent research into the employment prospects for millenials. College indebtedness is insane right now. That's why I got involved with StrikeDebt. When the economy is forcing you to separate the romantic idea of what you consider your calling from what you have to do for money since there are no fucking jobs that have anything to do with your degree, you start to think that maybe a universal income might make a lot of sense.
If the economy won't support you to do what you love for a living, you're already halfway there.
Can you talk about Occupy and how you got involved?
I was working on this book before Occupy, and the tech realm was where a lot of our political hopes were being invested. If you think back, there wasn't a vibrant protest movement in the US. Instead, there was this idea of democracy through social media, and technologically-enabled protests abroad. That might account a bit for why I gravitated towards this subject.
Then Occupy happened. If anything, it distracted me from The People's Platform. I wound up putting out five issues of the Occupy Gazette with n+1. Then I got roped into, or rather I roped myself into, this offshoot of Occupy called StrikeDebt that has been doing the Rolling Jubilee campaign.
But my work with the Occupy campaign suffused my analysis more and more. Calling attention to the economic elite fits very well into Occupy's idea of the ninety-nine percent and the one percent. The amount of value being hoarded by these companies is just mind-boggling.
So these projects did go in tandem. Both of them are thinking about power today. In this book, I was trying to think through how power operates in the technological sphere generally, but particularly in relationship to media. So no longer are you just watching what's been chosen for you on television. Now you're supposed to be the agent of your own destiny, clicking around. But there's still power; there's still money.
People will say, "How can you criticize these technological tools that helped people overthrow dictators?We constantly use this framework of the people against the authoritarian dictator. There was a lot of buzz about how social media empowered the protests in the Middle East which mostly turned out to be false. But what about the US? There's no dictator. There's a far more complicated power dynamic. The challenge of our generation is how you build economic association and aggregate economic power when you're not going to be doing conventional workplace organizing, because there are no jobs, let alone stable, long-term jobs.
So, this is depressing. Could you talk about solutions?
The solutions aren't that radical: The library model that we project on to the Internet but that doesn't quite fit—we can invent something analogous to it. There are lots of cool things we could be doing. But we're locked into this model that's really stupid and inefficient: the advertising model. That's the most ridiculous way to create these services and platforms. The advertising model is commonsensical because it's common, but it's not sensical.
What would socialized social media—and non-social media—look like?
Ben Kunkel has an essay where he talks a bit about this. But first, we have to get away from the idea that the government is the bad guy. One thing that we've learned in the wake of the NSA scandals is that the public and private sectors are really intertwined; government surveillance piggybacks off of corporate surveillance. It might be less technological and more about funding things for their own sake. If you look at countries with robust cultural policies, under the broadcast model a lot of them instate quotas. There would be a lot of protectionist regulations, and they would invest in their own work.
Quotas are complicated, obviously. But you can look to the model of public broadcasting. Public broadcasting wasn't a government propaganda machine. Liberals and conservatives both worry that this would create something bland. But when public broadcasting came under fire, it was usually for being too edgy and provocative. There are mechanisms that you can introduce to prevent whatever visions of sad iron-curtain art you have in your head.
One thing that comes up a lot in some liberal critiques of Edward Snowden is that he might be a libertarian.
I don't know Snowden, so I can't comment on him. But I think that a lot of us are libertarians. Libertarianism is the default ideology of our day because there's something deeply appealing about the idea of free agents—people on their own in charge of their own destinies. That has to do with the retreat of institutions from our lives, which results in an inability to imagine a positive role for them to play. We're still dependent on institutions; we just don't recognize it or give them much credit.
This ubiquitous libertarianism, particularly in tech circles, was a major target of my book. All of these things you want these tools to bring about—an egalitarian sphere, a sphere where the best could rise to the top, one that is not dominated by old Goliaths—within the libertarian framework, you'll never get there. You have to have a more productive economic critique.
But I also think that if you're on the left, you need to recognize what's appealing about libertarianism. It's the emphasis on freedom. We need to articulate a left politics that has freedom at its center. We can't be afraid of freedom or individuality, and we need to challenge the idea that equality and freedom are somehow contradictions.
At the same time, even on the radical left, there's a knee-jerk suspicion of institutions. When we criticize institutions that serve as buffers or bastions against market forces, the right wins out more. It's a complicated thing.
When I defend institutions in this book, I knew I might provoke my more radical friends. The position that everything is corrupt—journalism is corrupt, educational institutions are corrupt, publishers are corrupt—sounds great. And on some level it's true. They've disappointed us. But we need more and better—more robust, more accountable—institutions. So I tried to move out of the position of just criticizing those arrangements and enumerating all their flaws and all the ways they've failed us. What happens when we've burned all these institutions to the ground and it's just us and Google?
One of my favorite aspects of your book is your emphasis on the physical aspects of the Internet. It reminded me of the scene in Examined Life where Zizek is standing on the garbage heap, talking about how material stuff disappears.
That image we have of the Internet as weightless—it's so high-tech it doesn't really exist!—is part of why we misunderstand it. There are some people doing good work around this, people like Andrew Blum, who wrote the book Tubes, asking what the Internet is. There's infrastructure. It's immense, and it's of great consequence, especially as more and more of our lives move online. The materiality is really important to keep in mind.
We're moving to a place where we have a better of grasp of this. People are finally realizing that the online and the offline are not separate realms. It's not really like I have my online life where I'm pretending to be a 65-year-old man in a chat room, and then I'm Astra at the coffee shop. Those identities are as complicated and as coherent as any human identity has ever been. That can extend towards thinking about objects.
The other night I was re-reading Vance Packard's The Waste Makers—the sort of book that makes you feel like you're just reheated whatever, and that this person did it so much better the first time around. He outlines planned obsolescence, stuff made to break. It's so relevant to our gadgets, our technology. He wrote it in 1960, at that moment where the economy had been saturated, so everybody had their fridge and their car. So how do you keep GDP going up? It's actually patriotic to make things that break.
You talk about Steve Jobs in that context.
Steve Jobs is the ultimate incarnation of that plan. You have to have a new iPod every year. But he presented himself as this artist-craftsman who would never sacrifice quality. That's such a lie.
You talk about how both sides of the Internet debate, if you will, see a radical break with the past, whereas you see more continuity.
I think that that's crucial to understanding where we're at. This standard assumption that there would be a massive transformation blocked us from seeing the obvious outcomes and set us back in terms of having a grasp on our current condition. If we had gone into it with a bit more realism, more respect for the power of the market, less faith in technology's ability to transcend it, we'd be better off.
Could you say more about respect for the power of the market?
You don't want to be too deterministic, I suppose, but the market drives the development of these tools. Especially once you've gone public and you're beholden to your shareholders.
There's confusion because we've been here before with the first tech boom. One thing that got me thinking about this—and that confused me—was that I came to New York right at the tail end of that. I didn't work for a startup or anything like that, but I had friends who did, friends who were fired. I followed what was happening in the Bay Area, they lost hundreds of thousands of jobs. You think: okay, we learned from that. We learned that because of the way the market sought investments, they propped up some really stupid ideas, there was a bubble, and it burst. What's amazing to me is that fifteen years later, the same commentators are suddenly back, talking about social media, Web 2.0, and making proclamations about how the culture will evolve. You were wrong then, partially because you ignored the financial aspect of what was going on, and here you are again, ignoring the money. Give the market its due.
Do you have advice for what people—people like me—who write or produce other work for the Internet can do about this situation?
I'm encouraged by all these little magazines that have started in the last few years. Building institutions, even if they're small, is a very powerful thing, so that we're less isolated. When you're isolated, you're forced into the logic of building our own brand. If you build something together, you're more able to focus on endeavors that don't immediately feed into that. That's what an institution can buy you—the space to focus on other things.
What would help creators more than anything else in this country are things that would help other workers: Real public health care, real social provisions. Artists are people like everybody else; we need the same things as our barista.
I quote John Lennon: "You think you're so clever and classless and free. One thing we need is an end to artist exceptionalism. When we can see our connection to other precarious people in the economy, that's when interesting things could happen. When we justify our position with our own specialness…
You talk about how Steve Jobs would tell his employees that they were artists.
Right. How could you ask to be properly compensated, don't you see that you're supposed to be an artist? Grad students were given that advice, too.
That's where this ties in to Miya Tokumitsu's essay on the problems with the concept of "Do What You Love."
Exactly. Now, precarity shouldn't be a consequence of being an artist. Everyone should have more security. But it's more and more the condition of our time. One thing I say in passing is that the ethos of the artist—someone who is willing to work around the clock with no security, and who will keep on working after punching out the clock—that attitude is more and more demanded of everyone in the economy. Maybe artists can be at the vanguard of saying no to that. But yes, there would have to be a psychological shift where people would have to accept being less special.

Allow me to play devil's advocate against myself, since I don't think this is going to get a lot of comments: Do we really have to have public distribution systems in place to properly fund creative and intellectual work? Why can't we just give the NEA like 10 billion dollars, instead of a hundred million, to distribute to small presses, ProPublica, etc?
This idea appeals to me, because it seems maybe possible in the distant future, as opposed to a direct funding scenario, which seems like science fiction.
But for there to be a strong voice for content that is not garbage, it probably needs to be unified. People only want meaningful content as an occasional side dish, and if the money was spread to hundreds of different organizations, the visibility will not be enough in the face of giant corporations giving people what they want, which is garbage.
@TW that is a kind of public distribution system, because lots of that money will go to marketing and distribution, necessarily. But it's one that has it's own benefits and problems.
Those small organizations that are publicly funded (I work for an artist-run centre in Canada that gets a lot of funding from government granting at all three levels, we do artist fees and publishing and special projects and performances and gallery shows etc) have abilities that go beyond larger institutions in terms of responsiveness and transparency etc. But we also don't solve the problem of precarity. We have to write grants every year just to operate. It can be hard for us to take on big projects because of the risk that we'll take cuts after those commitments. And it happens: we got a haircut last year after moving into a new bigger space. We have to make that up somehow, hopefully without compromising our core activities. We do what we can.
Small organizations are great. But I am very aware of our history here, where the Canadian network of artist-run centres was created to fill a void: it was very self-consciously made as an alternative because our institutions were insufficient or compromised or non-existent. We made them at the same time that Institutional Critique became important in art internationally. But it shouldn't be impossible to imagine public institutions that could be committed to responsiveness and transparency and risk-taking as much as we are, and they could be free of these worries. Why don't they exist?
I think if you're going to use the government to do things, you need to come up with a theory which justifies the use of original force to accomplish those things. Otherwise you will be kidding yourself, and you won't know what to support, what to ignore, and — this being one of the powers of the government — what to suppress. By 'justify' I mean connect the use of force with some material, moral, or aesthetic good which balances the cost of coercion. Coercion is a high price to pay if you don't want to be coerced, because coercion has a way of coming around to everybody.
Lest that seem libertarian, I must add that libertarians are perfectly willing to use coercive force to defend their particular ideas of property. Libertarians tend to be shallow thinkers; if they weren't, they would have come to that part a long time ago and dealt with its possible defects.
Precarity of some sort is inevitable in a capitalist social order, regardless of whether it has an Internet or any other form of communication. That is because capitalism requires a class structure and scarcity. Those at the bottom of the class structure experience the greatest scarcity and precarity. The Internet made some things less scarce, like music and texts, but for the most part it hasn't affected the price of material goods like food, housing, and other necessities, so in spite of the great wealth of clowns like Zuckerberg, Jobs, and Gates, it's pretty frothy. I'm not at all sure it will prove economically significant in real terms for some time. The fact that a few hundred people have become fabulously wealthy is about as significant economically as a few hundred people winning the lottery.
Nice article. Just a small correction: Ms. Taylor's husband's name is Jeff Mangum (not Magnum!).
Finished it! So good. Must read for any freelancers, writers, developers, editors, bloggers, musicians, everyone who's affected by the internet or has to work with the internet in some way, etc. It makes me appreciate more the Awl Network and some other little online magazines that have cropped in the past year and have great content. Also makes me stop reading and clicking on certain online news sites where the money gets pooled to the CEO and analysts, not the people who create the content….. All in all, thank you, it's great!
Excellent article. Very interesting to read. I really love to read such a nice article giochi gratis. Thanks! keep rocking!

It might be the most cringeworthy few seconds in TV history -- Kathie Lee Gifford asked Martin Short how his wife is doing ... one small problem ... she died 2 years ago.
Martin appeared on "The Today Show" this morning to promote his new movie, "Madagascar 3" -- when Kathie asked, "And you and Nancy have one of the greatest marriages of anybody in show business. How many years now for you guys?"
Martin doesn't know how to respond, saying, "We ... have ... married ... 36 years."
Apparently Kathie didn't get the memo -- Martin's wife Nancy Dolman died in August 2010 from ovarian cancer.
The clip gets even worse -- you have to watch.
Kathie later apologized on the air -- saying, "I feel so badly ... my apologies to him and his family."
Everyone makes mistakes....however, Kathie Lee is a reporter that should have done her HOMEWORK!!! What an idiot!!
Kathy Lee should be taken off NBC, ASAP! What a disgrace!!!! Martin is such a class act....
What a sweetheart Martin Short was to try and make HER feel better. It was just a mistake and God knows she is kicking herself. I always knew he was a classy guy.
OMFG, time for this dumb bitch to stop all the drinking on the show and start doing some fact checking on the guests she has. she should feel lower than monkey sh|t. what a buffoon!
Wow .. either someone needs fired for not getting the hosts up to speed on their guests or someone needs to smack Kathy Lee upside the head for not screening the bios. No matter what, Kathie Lee needs smacked upside the head whether it's her fault or not.
Ovarian cancer is horrible.
Whether you like Kathie Lee or not, she would NEVER intentionally say something hurtful like that. Haven't we ALL made blunders such as that in our lifetime???? I am sure Martin Short will forgive her for that mistake a lot sooner than most of the people on this web site. It was an honest error. I am sure she was mortified. He handled it as well as can be expected. Why don't we all do the same???
Listen, whether you like Kathie Lee or not, she would NEVER say something hurtful like that on purpose. Haven't we ALL made blunders such as this???!!! I think so. I'm sure she was mortified. And I'm sure Martin Short will forgive her errror much qucker than most of the people posting on this site. Why don't we all stop being so mean-spirited??
she should be fired. when your job is to interview people live on TV then you are expected to do your research before you ask stupid questions or say hurtful things!
Not her fault. Up to Producers to make sure all guests are researched so they can give questions and topics to the hosts (like asking about their latest projects or maybe a congratulations is due for some other accomplishment). Bet she felt awful after the show was over even though it was an innocent mistake.
I remember seeing him on Law and Order.. man he got the Pyschopath character ON POint.
Kathie Lee has always been a stupid mannequin but it cracked me up when "Mr. Ed" Hoda jumped right in to try to save her azz. Just finish your bottles of wine and go away.
Two words - COMMERCIAL BREAK!
Either she could care less to read about and/or be briefed about guests or the big budgeted major network could give a crap to make sure she was.
He's a class act!
Wow. What grace he showed both with dealing with the question and with pulling her aside afterwards..

The palate is fine and elegant, supported by a racy acidity. The calcareous rock gives the wine a strong minerality associated with an aromatic nose. The residual sweetness is almost comparable to a VT, but the evolution of this wine (low botrytis and high acidity) should be closer to a non-VT. Should keep extremely well.
The Domaine Zind-Humbrecht was created in 1959 by the merging of two families, that on Zenon Humbrecht, viticulteur in Gueberschwihr, and that of Emile Zind, viticulteur in Wintzenheim, with the marriage of their children, Leonard Humbrecht and Ginette Zind. Before this date both families produced and sold their wines separately. Domaine Humbrecht had been passed from father to son since the Thirty Years War (1620). The vinification is now in the hands of Oliver Humbrecht, son of Ginette and Leonard. In 1995, Robert Parker called Oliver's 1993's "The wine of a genius".

Antoni Gaudi's La Segrada Familia cathedral is one of the most genius works of architecture in all of time. He was known and obsessed with doing things that no one had ever done before— this church is part and parcel of that fact. La Segrada Familia is of Neo-Gothic design and is still unfinished due to its extensive plans that were left after Gaudi's unexpected death by tram. Without its completion, it has already been ordained a minor basilica and several donations are given (as well as your entrance to see the cathedral) to the restoration/completion of it.
The influences of Modernism, Gothicism, Art Nouveau, and pure color are what characterize and continue to define all of Gaudi's architectural works and ideals, but the most predominant influence on Gaudi was nature itself. Incorporated throughout the cathedral are sculptures of animals and plants, as well as vaults of tree leaves and a four part branching that holds the entire cathedral up.
Nature as the starting point of originality because of its simplicity and sense of the all-known.
Architectural designs of Parque Güell.
These ginger-bread house like structures are what you see when you first enter Parque Güell. This park which is also a beautiful garden and work of Antoni Gaudi's architectural design is on top of the El Carmen hill in Barcelona, Spain.
Colorful mosaics like these are characteristic of Gaudi in their incorporation of nature and Art Nouveau.
The Casa Museu Gaudi gives tourists the opportunity to see where the genius worked for a few years of his life. This house is located within Park Guell.
After visiting the CaixaForum for a Francisco Goya exhibition, we came to the Magic Fountain. Music was played along with the movement of the fountain, providing for an intimate connection and a moment for us to tear up and realize how magical of a city Barcelona really is.
More street art of Valencia.
These architectural elements are part of the garden complex of the Parque Güell. The use of stairs, large columns, a roof for many to walk on, mosaics, and sculptures are just a few of the things to see crafted by Gaudi.
Architectural designs of Parque Güell.
Not sure if the lamp is of Gaudi's design, but it is clear that the mirror carries his curvilinear, modernist characteristics.

The Toronto Blue Jays have been a surprising contender this season, being in and out of 1st place in the always tough AL East and currently sitting 3.0 games back of the Baltimore Orioles. A big reason for their success has been a career year from Mark Buehrle, who has gone 10-6 with a career best 2.60 ERA en route to an All-Star bid. But can Buehrle continue this career resurgent season?
The simple answer to that question is no, Buehrle is likely to regress, as many stats indicate he has been lucky. First and foremost is that Buerhle has an abnormally high strand rate at 81.2%, well off his career mark of 72.9% and 73% league average. Basically this means that he is leaving runners on base at a higher clip that he should be, and 10% of these runners should really be coming around to score. Another indicator of Buehrle's luck is his low HR/FB ratio, which sits at 6.4% despite Buehrle's career 9.8% and a league average of 9.8%, as well as the fact that Toronto is generally a hitter's park. About 3.4% more of the flyballs that Buerhle allows should go for home runs, but they have not. Another indication of a bit of luck is that Buehrle's BABIP against sits at .285 while the league average is .295, though that is not a very significant difference. Basically these three stats are the most common indicators of luck in baseball, and each one indicates that Buehrle has been a product of luck.
Because of these, pitching metrics like FIP and xFIP say that Buehrle's ERA should be much higher than the 2.60 mark he has put up so far. FIP says that he should have a 3.74 ERA, while xFIP says it should be 4.25. Now, these metrics are fairly speculative, and they are by no means the end-all-be-all of pitching statistics. However, never in Buehrle's career has he put up such a large disparity between his actual ERA and his FIP and xFIP, which is even more indication that he is likely to regress this year.
All of that said, Mark Buehrle remains a valuable pitcher to the Toronto Blue Jays. Thanks to exceptional command and deception, he has been a successful pitcher over his career, never dazzling, but always putting up solid numbers. He also is underrated for how much of a workhorse he is, as he has thrown more than 200 innings 13 seasons in a row, and with 121.1 innings this year he seems on pace to do that again. However, Buehrle has gotten lucky this year, and his ERA is too good to be true. More than likely we will see stats like his strand rate, HR/FB ratio, and BABIP start to trend closer to league average, and that will result in him giving up more runs. Expect his ERA to sit somewhere in the low-mid 3.00's by season's end- still an impressive mark for a 35-year old pitcher in the ultra competitive AL East.

Sylvia Akin chosen editor of The Heritage News
Happy New year!
We were saddened by the recent deaths of friends Irene Newsom and Louise Randolph. We send our love and sympathy to their families.
Thanks to Rev. and Mrs. Steve Wilson for the nice gift they left at my door. He is pastor at the Bethlehem Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. (I love them.)
Ken and Haven David of Huntsville, Ala., spent Christmas with her parents, Kerry and Lela Hale and family in Potts Camp. On Dec. 26, they brought gifts to my home for me and my daughter, Betty Greer.
The former Ella Jones Sanders, who grew up here, called me from California on Christmas Eve. She and her brother, Louis Sanders, grew up here. They are children of the late Janette Lakey of Potts Camp. Ella Jones enjoys The South Reporter. I was glad to hear from her.
Joe Dickey and family of Oxford spent a few days during Christmas with his parents, George and Dorothy Dickey. The 2-1/2-year-old, great-granddaughter said "hello" to me on the phone.
Lena Faye Work was glad to spend Christmas with her family at home. She is a patient at a nursing home in New Albany.
Rodney Whaley, Potts Camp banker, visited in my home with a sack of nice, useful articles. I thank him!
Sylvia Akin of Memphis, Tenn., a special friend, has been chosen for the editor of The Heritage News by the Marshall County Genealogy Society. Sylvia grew up in our town. When she came to the funeral of Irene Newsom, she visited me. I was happy to see her! Congratulations to her!
The family of Joyce Clayton were her Christmas dinner guests. They are Merion and David Hunsucker of Ashland, Lynn and Martha Goolsby and children Hannah and Jamie from here, and a granddaughter, Kensey and daughter of Myrtle.
"Living for Jesus" is probably the wisest decision anyone can ever make! It will completely change your life. He fills your life with joy, peace, thanksgiving and love.
"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled." Matthew 5:6.
"Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." Matthew 8:6.
Remember the old hymn — "It just makes you love everybody. It's good enough for me!"
"Faith and prayers are the keys to knowing God better."
New Hope
When everything seems hopeless and life is hard to bear, just find a little corner and say a little prayer. Ask God to give you strength to see you through the day. For He alone can help you; He alone can pave the way.
Believe in Him and trust Him, let Him be your guide. Miraculous things will happen when He is on your side. Once your cross is lifted and you find that you can cope, be sure to thank almighty God for giving you new hope.
During the early days of our town, late in the afternoon hours you could see a long line of wagons drawn by horses, with barrels to fill with water at the overflowing well near the railroad tracks. There was also a trough for the horses to drink from.
Dr. F.D. Boatner and A.Q. Greer, town leaders in 1916 and 1917, got our town changed from a village to a town so money could be borrowed to put down a deep well and water could be piped to the homes in Potts Camp. We thank them. Potts Camp had concrete sidewalks and running water before any other town.

• If you're interested in helping relief work in Haiti and getting your community mobilized too, why don't you hold a bake sale?
• Here's a great go-to weekend dinner: Lemon garlic chicken. And here's another: Easy oven-braised short ribs. Cheap and meaty!
• Wintry fun: Foods to eat while wearing mittens, and how to make maple taffy on snow plus more snow-inspired treats.
• Winter vegetables: Spinach crowns with sesame dressing, lots of roasted vegetables, and winter salads. Oh, and fennel salad.
• Le Creuset goes purple!
• Some quick weekend kitchen improvement projects: Keep your incompetent cabinet doors closed with a cheap gizmo, and good ways to store your utensils.
• Phone home for cooking advice (and a nice chat) this weekend.
• Eggs for breakfast! Deep-fried eggs with hot sauce, and eggs baked in potato skins.
• An online index for your cookbooks.
• Small space solutions: Rolling pantry shelves
• What to do with a plethora of jams.
• A discussion of concrete countertops: their pros and cons.
• Another weekend project: Plan your garden and order seeds.
• Handmade goodies: Beautiful linen tablecloths and napkins, and great bowls for soup.
• More weekend breakfast: Cinnamon bun bread, mocha crunch oatmeal, and totally scrumptious lemon pull-apart bread.
• What are your most fun kitchen tools?
• Sukiyaki!
• A really beautiful grey kitchen.
Have a wonderful long weekend!

I feel like broiling a flank steak with lemon, italian marinade and slicing it thin across the grain. A fresh melon and yogurt sounds like a mini-summer vacation. Yumm...
I've been hearing so much about roasted and mashed celeriac this week that I'm on a quest to find it at the farmer's market so I can try it. Other than that, I have a dinner date on Saturday with a friend who has been on an epic vacation, and I'm hoping like crazy she's in the mood for Korean hot pot!
I'm planning on making Ina Garten's Spinach Gratin-we'll be eating off of that for several days.
I'm going to try the baked eggs in potatoes for breakfast tomorrow-I am intrigued by the recipe/method! Looks SO yummy!
Well, I accidentally picked up a can of coconut milk (i thought i was getting artichoke hearts! silly) so I'm going to be experimental with that and some langostino that I bought at trader joe's, despite never having eaten them or cooked with them! A weekend of experimentation!
Anyone know anything about how to cook with either of these ingredients?
langostino: treat em just like shrimp. the coconut milk can be used as a poaching liquid. If you've got some thai curry paste: perfect. whisk the two together, add some pineapple, red pepper and the langostino. Serve over jasmine rice. or you can mess around with what ingredients you have. but i would hang around southeast asia or the tropics, flavor wise.
*I* will be practicing my mayonnaise by hand this weekend. hope my arm holds up.
Clams with chorizo and tomatoes tonight, probably felafel tomorrow night. Three day weekend, woohoo! Going to make pizza dough and flatbread dough, too.
I made homemade pizza with the crust from Peter Reinhart's Napoletana Pizza Dough Recipe(can find it here: http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/001199.html). I made a tomato sauce from just cooking down diced tomatoes that gave with basil and garlic already in the can. And then topped it with fresh mozzarella and spinach. It turned out decent though a little wetter than I expected because of the fresh mozzarella. Perhaps I need to squeeze out the water a bit before using it next time.
Think I'll look for a good muffin recipe as I got a muffin tin for Christmas and have only made banana nut muffins thus far.
I wound up getting turnips at the market yesterday, so I'll probably wind up roasting those (or mashing them up with a potato). I also got an enormous and ugly kabocha squash I'll have to attack. Last but not least, carrot cake for my boyfriend's birthday!
i love weekend cooking!
did loaves of buttermilk maple bread
so for lunch it was sandwich time- with lettuce, sprouts from the farmer's market, cucumber, and TJ's yogurt cheese!
cooked up some kale in diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, and some other spices.
doing a lima bean soup- i promise it's so good!!
and more kale
and a grannysmith daikon raddish 'slaw.
Woke up to a rainy and gray morning. Decided to make Curry butternut squash soup with coconut milk garnished with pistachios. The most time-consuming part was roasting the squash, which I did a night before.
Excitement: I'm not at work today!
Roasting potatoes, onion, and sweet potatoes right now. Next, I'm going to make a barley pilaf and then, after my boyfriend gets milk during halftime, I'm going to make potato soup. This is going to be a great week of bringing in food for lunch.
And yes, it is the perfect rainy grey day for cooking.
i subscribe to a local CSA so this recipe i created was inspired by my latest winter produce basket....and it's DAMN good!
I cooked octopus from scratch for the first time - and it was really tender.

Quilcene man shot after chase involving heisted Port Townsend truck, Pacific police car
In this King County Sheriffs Office photo, a police car in Pacific is shown crashed into a Hummer following Thursday nights pursuit.

4th UPDATE: 2 reported dead in Marysville school siege — including shooter who was a homecoming king [Tomorrow's Clallam Bay game canceled.]
2ND UPDATE — Authorities lose track of high-risk child rapist during pursuit in woods south of Sequim
King County sheriff's spokeswoman Sgt. Cindi West said the man was from Quilcene but would not identify him because he has not been charged with a crime.
West said Saturday the man was in critical condition but is expected to survive.
The King County Sheriff's Office gave the following account:
The chase began at about 10:40 p.m. Thursday, when a police officer in Pacific, a city southeast of Federal Way, tried to stop a truck that had been reported stolen from Edensaw on Wednesday.
Instead, the driver of the truck took off, leading the officer in a pursuit through a residential neighborhood.
Edensaw is a well-known Port Townsend supplier and millworker of high-end marine plywood, domestic and exotic lumber, wood veneer and other fine woods.
The man bounced over sidewalks and lawns until he stopped in the driveway of a house in the 200 block of Sunset Drive.
Then he got out and ran.
The officer pursued him on foot.
The Quilcene man circled around, running around a house, and climbed into the patrol car that the officer had left running.
The officer caught up to him, and they struggled before the man drove away in the officer's car.
The officer fired several shots, West said, and hit the driver, who crashed the patrol car into a Hummer that was parked in front of a nearby house, shoving it back into the house's garage.
The officer was not injured.
Edensaw owner Jim Ferris said he noticed his company's Toyota T100 truck was missing Wednesday and reported it stolen to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
He said the truck was filled with material for a client.
Although Ferris had seen media reports of the chase, he had not been contacted by police about his truck as of Saturday.
Capt. Ben Stamper with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the truck in the chase was the same one taken from Edensaw, 211 Seton Road, Port Townsend.
