Third and final (duh) Red Sox report card of the season. Just a couple of quick notes before we get started …
1. I put almost no weight on the playoffs when it came to grading. I'll take what a guy did over 162 games vs. what he did (or in most cases did not do) over three games.
2. Grades are based on the expectations for a player heading into 2009. If Jonathan Papelbon finished the season with the same stats as Ramon Ramirez, you'd be looking at two different grades, obviously.
Here are the grades (and feel free to let me know what you think at firstname.lastname@example.com) ...
Victor Martinez: A-
I saw where Rob Bradford picked Martinez for the Sox MVP in 2009. I'm not sure I can go that far (after all, he played just 56 games and I'm pretty sure the Sox make the wild card even without making the deal — you knew Texas was going to fade eventually), but I understand the thinking. Huge addition to the lineup and a perfect fit. As with Jason Bay last season, it feels like Martinez has been here for five years.
Martinez's 2009 numbers with the Sox projected to 145 games (as a catcher he won't play 162, but if healthy he'll DH and play first enough to stay around 145-150):
21 homers, 106 RBI, 83 runs, .405 OBP, .507 slugging
Anyone who wouldn't sign up for that from Martinez in 2009? Nothing on the back of his baseball card to suggest that he can't do it, either (though he won't hit .336 again — but he should be near .300).
Kevin Youkilis: A-
My pick for the team MVP this season, and as good a choice as any for AL MVP in the non-Joe Mauer division. Remember, he played in just 136 games this season but still managed to post a .305-27-94 line. I promise not to project you to sleep (no 162-game "what if" for Chris Woodward, for example) but here are Youkilis' numbers if he had played 162 games in 2009:
32 homers, 112 RBI, 118 runs, .413 OBP, .548 slugging
(Not the most important thought, I suppose, but can anyone give me a better candidate for 2009 Boston Athlete of the Year? I think we are going to do that at WEEI.com this year, we gave it to Pierce/Allen/Garnett in 2008. Those guys (along with any other Celtics player) are out. Can't think of a Bruin that is even close. Of course, we'll have to wait and see what the Pats do, but right now I think he's the favorite. If Wakefield had managed to stay healthy and win 20 games he would have been a lock.)
Jason Bay: B+
I was wavering between a B+ and A-, and I decided to give him a slight hit for his no-show in the series with Anaheim (.125 BA). But he had a really solid season (36 homers, 119 RBI, 105 runs) and, gun to my head, I'd guess he comes back and gets the five years.
(Though please don't misinterpret that as an invitation to actually put a gun to my head and make me predict whether or not Bay re-signs with the Sox. Not for my safety, mind you. It's just that my combination of street smarts and the ability to slap on the Camel Clutch from any position makes me the most destructive force the Earth has seen since Steven Segal in 1988. Even a quick glance at my photo will tell you that.)
I just think Theo will look at all the options and come to the conclusion that some guys might put up numbers in Boston but Bay is one player who has proven he can. That fifth year might be tough to swallow (Bay would be 35 years old), but if he's healthy you have to figure it's safe enough to pencil in .280-30-100 for the next four years. The "Will Bay Stay or Go" story is the headliner for the offseason.
Daniel Bard: B
Admit it, you kind of wanted Bard to come out and pitch a third inning on Sunday (not hard to admit, given what occurred, I guess). It never would have happened, of course, and I know it would have made no sense, but how easy did Bard make it look in the sixth and seventh? And I'm not sure I've seen a more dominant frame this season than the one produced by Bard in the eighth inning of Game 1.
Look, he has to cut down on his walks (in 49.1 innings he walked 22) but is there any doubt that, at the very worst, he'll be the eighth inning guy next season? It is really early in this novel but Bard looks every bit a top-five closer-in-waiting.
Jon Lester: B
Quick, what is Lester's career win-loss record? Three, two, one ... Would you believe 42-16? Makes sense, I guess, when you think about it, but I have to admit to being surprised. Obviously he doesn't have the amount of decisions to qualify, but if he did, his .724 career winning percentage would rank second in MLB history.
Maybe I'm hitting him too hard for that shaky start (on May 26 his ERA for the season was 6.07), but this is a grade for the year as a whole. But no pitcher other than Zack Grienke was even close to being in Lester's class over the final four months of the season.
I'm sure it won't be a problem for Lester, but he will enter 2010 with huge expectations. I suspect you'll see his name quite a few times as a preseason Cy Young pick.
Note to every announcer calling a Red Sox game over the next decade: It's OK to retire the "No one believed in him" angle with Pedroia. We get it. Time to move on.
I'm still on board with Pedroia as a real 3,000-hit candidate. Assuming he stays healthy, let's give him an average of 185 hits a year over the next decade (not an unreasonable number, his career 162-game average is 195 hits). That would get him to 2,430 by age 36. If he's still a useful everyday player at that point he'll have about a 50 percent chance of getting to 3,000.
Ellsbury already ranks sixth in franchise history with his 129 career steals. Harry Hooper is the leader with 300, so sometime in 2012 or so ...
I think this was exactly what you wanted to see from Ellsbury in his second full season. His walks were up and his strikeouts were down, he stole 20 more bases with just one more caught stealing, and his batting average, OBP and slugging all went up by about 20 points. His approval rating among Pink Hats even is up from 2008, which I didn't think was possible.
(And yes, 2024 will be a big year for 17-year-old kids named Jacoby asking their mothers why they have that tattoo on the lower part of their back.)
Billy Wagner: B
Would've been at the head of the class had he been in Boston all season and put up the same numbers he posted in his six weeks with the Sox. He was great in his 15 regular-season innings, allowing just three earned runs with 22 strikeouts. If he can stay healthy, he'll be a closer somewhere in 2010.
Here's a tip that may help out if you ever confuse Wagner with Mariano Rivera:
Wagner's postseason ERA in 2009 was 18.00. That is the THIRD time in his career he has had an ERA of 18.00 in a postseason (1997, 1998). Throw in a 16.88 (2006) and it's hard to ignore the possibility that the pressure might get the best of him.
This just seemed like it would work when he signed in the offseason. Low-risk (the contract was for a million-and-a-half plus incentives) and just two years removed from being arguably the top closer in the National League? Seemed a no-brainer. This is why I'd never pay a closer huge money. Saito outpitched K-Rod in 2009 (better ERA, K-Rod had a slightly better WHIP but in an easier league) for one-sixth the price. And you know what? That really shouldn't come as a huge surprise if you were paying attention. K-Rod set the record with 62 saves in 2008. Guess what? Saito was nearly as good (his WHIP was better, more Ks per innings, fewer walks). The lesson is that saves mean absolutely nothing. Probably 30 guys could've saved 62 games for the Angels in 2008, including Saito if he had stayed healthy. Just one to grow on when people start throwing out saves in defense of Papelbon as the inevitable debate begins (whether it be this year or next).
J.D. Drew: B
A little more Player A/Player B:
Player A: .267 batting average, .384 OBP, .537 slugging
Player B: .279 batting average, .392 OBP, .522 slugging
Player A? Jason Bay. Player B? J.D. Drew.
J.D. Drew had an OPS of .914 in 2009, 21st in the major leagues. He had a higher OPS than Evan Longoria, Carlos Pena, Justin Morneau, Derek Jeter, Chase Utley, Victor Martinez and Matt Holliday. I'm sure Theo believes that Drew earned every penny of that $14 million this season.
Ramon Ramirez: B-
Raise your hand if you expect Ramirez to contribute much in 2010. Which guy is the one we are going to see?
First half of 2009: 38.2 IP, 2.33 ERA, 27 hits, 27 K, 15 walks, 1.086 WHIP
Second half of 2009: 31 IP, 3.48 ERA, 34 hits, 25 K, 17 walks, 1.645 WHIP
Hideki Okajima: B-
Still a reliable guy out of the bullpen, but there is a trend developing.
Okajima's ERA:
2007: 2.22
2008: 2.61
2009: 3.39
2007: .971
2008: 1.161
2009: 1.262
SO/BB Ratio:
2007: 3.71
2008: 2.61
2009: 2.52
Again, what he gave you in 2009 is serviceable and plenty good enough to have a role in any 'pen. But another step or two backward and suddenly he's just another guy. It bears watching in 2010.
Three things:
1. This is not chest-puffing, because I'm wrong far more than I'm right, but I did first-guess the intentional walk to Torii Hunter. I just think loading the bases to pitch to Vladimir Guerrero is a mistake. The best way to beat Vlad, of course, is to make him hit pitches out of the strike zone (you know he's swinging at anything). With a two-run lead, maybe Papelbon would have taken a few chances, but in a one-run game he's not going to fool around with a potential walk. Hunter is a nice player but he's not the kind of player you have to pitch around. Not a great series for Francona (he also left Beckett in for too long in Game 2) but he's earned a miss or two at least.
2. I can't shake the feeling that you might have seen Papelbon in a Red Sox uniform for the last time on Sunday. And if that is true, it really is a shame that he was booed off the field after giving up the hit to Guerrero. This isn't Calvin Schiraldi we're talking about here. Papelbon is the best closer in franchise history and, until the meltdown on Sunday, had never allowed a run in the postseason. Between the standing ovation for David Ortiz the day he was popped for steroids and this, you have to call this season a big whiff for the Fenway faithful.
3. I don't know if Papelbon is on the decline, but there are some red flags.
More walks allowed in 2009 (24) than in 2007 and 2008 combined (23).
Worst K/BB rate and WHIP in his four seasons as a closer.
But even knowing that, if he returns to the Red Sox in 2010 he'll be a top-five closer. He still strikes out 10 guys per nine innings and was brilliant in the second half of 2009 (.897 WHIP, .274 OBP against.) And I don't think anyone believes that what happened on Sunday will have a negative impact on Papelbon.
Josh Beckett: B-
Cy Young in May, June and July (10-2, 2.43 ERA), and Matt Young for the rest of the season (7-4, 5.31 ERA.)
Clay Buchholz: B-
If the Mariners call Theo Epstein in the offseason and offer Felix Hernandez for Buchholz and Bard, should he pull the trigger? I think the answer is yes, but unlike in August (when the deal was rumored), I would pause before answering in the affirmative. Really, the two players on the Red Sox who "broke out" in 2009 were Buchholz and Bard. Would anyone be stunned if Buchholz went, I don't know, 15-8 with a 3.60 ERA in 2010?
(Of course it is also possible that Buchholz goes 4-8 with a 5.40 ERA and spends some time in Pawtucket. And that is why you make the Hernandez trade. I think Bard is the real thing, but Hernandez could win three or four Cy Youngs in the next decade. Wonder if those talks will pick up again in the offseason.)
Alex Gonzalez: B-
This is the highest grade I can give anyone with a .316 on-base percentage. I know, I know, he hit .284 and played a great shortstop, but if he returns to the Sox in 2010 (and I bet he will — he has a $6 million club option, pretty good value) don't expect anything close to a .284 average. Coin flip that his OBP won't even be that high. But in a lineup that could include Pedroia, Youkilis, Ortiz, Bay, Martinez and Drew, having a no-hit, good-field shortstop isn't the end of the world.
Mike Lowell: C+
Ran out of steam down the stretch (.324 slugging percentage, just one home run in 81 plate appearances in September and October), but had a passable season, I guess. Almost an exact match of his, well, passable 2008 season:
2008: 58 runs, 27 doubles, 17 HR, 73 RBI, 38 walks, 61 K, .338 OBP
2009: 54 runs, 29 doubles, 17 HR, 75 RBI, 33 walks, 61 K, .337 OBP
Not great for $12 million a year, but not a disaster, either. I think the Sox would be happy with one more season of .280-17-75 before the contract ends and Lowell either A) retires or B) signs somewhere for a year and a couple of million bucks. Think I'll keep more of an eye on those late one-year deals this year — I'm almost sure I didn't even know Bobby Abreu was with Anaheim until a few weeks after he signed on Feb. 12. Didn't count on that move being the difference in an ALDS Sox/Angels series.
Speaking of one-year deals …
What a strange year for Knucksie. Doesn't the whole All-Star thing feel like three years ago? His 2009 season was defined by a pair of glaring spilts:
First half: 11-3, 4.31 ERA
Second half: 0-2, 6.00 ERA
Home: 7-1, 4.13 ERA
Road: 4-4, 5.10 ERA
He'll be back. Sure, he's 43 years old (if you can claim that you played with skinny Barry Bonds and fat Roger Clemens you have some miles on the tires) and missed basically half the season, but he's a bargain at $4 million. As of today he'd be your fifth starter. Would you rather go out in the open market and take a shot on a Brad Penny type for 6 or 7 mil? (And Penny will get that kind of money — do you realize that he was 4-1 with a 2.59 ERA with the Giants? I firmly believe that if Kevin Costner's character in "For Love of the Game" unretired and signed with the Braves, he'd win 18 games. The NL is a disgrace.)
David Ortiz: C
Easiest grade to hand out. If I had asked you, off of a 2008 that seemed to signal the beginning of the end, what would constitute an average season for Ortiz in 2009 you would've gone with something in the .270-20-80 range, right? Well, he didn't come close to that batting average, but the power was there (27 homers and 81 RBI after June 1.) And he was an 'A' player and an 'F' player for nearly the same amount of time in 2009. Ironically, I also gave Esther Rolle a 'C' in my "Good Times" report card for the 1976 TV season.
Manny Delcarmen: D+
Maybe Delcarmen pitches 15 years in the majors and this just turns out to be one of the two or three stinkers in his career. Or maybe his putrid second half (7.27 ERA, 1.885 WHIP) is a harbinger and he's out of the majors in three years. Relief pitching is just impossible to predict.
You know, if the Red Sox sign some journeyman to catch twice a week in 2010 and he puts up the same numbers as Varitek, it wouldn't be a big deal. But there is no reason to have to watch this guy struggle again next year. Just retire, Jason. Your legacy is secure. Move on to coaching, or NESN, or even a little work for WEEI.com (come on — I know you are dying to join the crew. Where else can you make weekly NFL picks that don't include the point spread?) All I know is that no one wants you to play in 2010 and have to battle to hit Matt Roloff's weight.
His final four starts (3-1, 2.22 ERA) saved Dice-K from flunking out. Still not sold on him for 2010, however, his WHIP for those four starts was 1.40, a lousy number. Still has three years and $28 million left on his contract (with a full no-trade.)
Sort of had an impact but still incompletes:
Michael Bowden, Hunter Jones, Jed Lowrie, Gil Velazquez, Dusty Brown, Casey Kotchman, Junichi Tazawa, Michael Bowden, Joey Gathright, Javier Lopez (who did pitch 14 times and could have easily been given an 'F.')
Couldn't think of anything new to write from previous report cards so let's just give them a grade and move on:
Nick Green: C
Rocco Baldelli: D+
Biggest story of the season:
On the field? Daniel Bard. Off the field? Ortiz and whatever it was that he did or did not do.
Biggest non-story of the season:
Do you think if Manny Ramirez were on this team the Sox would still be playing? Me neither.
Three semi-fearless predictions for the offseason:
The Sox re-sign Bay for five years and $75 million.
Papelbon is not traded but (at least once) blasts the front office for not showing interest in signing him to an extension.
Varitek is bought out by the Red Sox and does not choose to retire, instead signing a one-year deal with the Mets.
Pete, Thornton and Price give their final thoughts and predictions for the Super Bowl.
Gabe calls the boys to handicap one of the biggest gambling days of the year - Super Bowl 51! Gabe has all the point spread info down and gets to all of the major prop bets that interest him.
Fauria is still down in Houston and calls live from NRG Stadium to give his take on what will go down later on in Super Bowl 51. He likes the Pats and gives his reasons why, but also gets into the scene in Houston all week, famous people he met and why he is tired out from a wild week.
The NBA trade rumor mill is beginning to swirl as the deadline approaches and Picard is ready to go! He talks about the possibility of Jimmy Butler coming to Boston, why Isaiah Thomas is not getting enough respect and the future of the Celtics.
Adrian Wojnarowski has been talking about the possibility of the Celtics making a trade with the Bulls to bring Jimmy Butler to Boston. He actually thinks it may be the the marquee deal to keep an eye on this week heading into the trade deadline. Pete and Jerry discuss and give their thoughts on if they would want Butler. Pete thinks it will happen, Jerry thinks Ainge will stay put. The guys get into more Celtics, present and future and if they can battle with the best of the NBA.
Anna Horford, sister of Boston Celtics Al Horford, makes her Boston radio debut. She talks about Twitter and reacting to mean tweets about her brother. She also gives us her thoughts on the city of Boston and racism.
Rob Bradford is joined by Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia to discuss the 33-year-old's longevity, his thoughts on Tom Brady's approach and what the real deal is when it comes to who is the leader in the Red Sox' clubhouse.
Rob Bradford talks with both Red Sox pitcher Matt Barnes, and assistant pitching coach Brian Bannister, about the fascinating project the reliever undertook in the final month of 2016. Barnes explains how he, with the help of others, made a concerted effort to emulate Dellin Betances of the Yankees and how that exercise helped turn around the former No. 1 pick's season.
Bradford checks in from spring training to give us all the media dirt he can dig up...oh, and talk some baseball too.

Planned Strike in Zimbabwe Fails After Protest Leader Arrestedby , , and
Schools, businesses open normally as police patrol capital
Preacher behind strike call remains in police custody
A planned two-day strike in Zimbabwe failed to start Wednesday when schools and businesses opened normally and police deployed throughout the capital, a day after a key protest organizer was arrested and charged with inciting violence.
The government addressed one of the main demands of the strike organizers when it announced that it would pay civil servants their June salaries on Wednesday, a day earlier than planned. The labor action was also called to protest police harassment and the reintroduction of a form of local currency.
Police on Tuesday arrested Evan Mawarire, 39, a baptist preacher and organizer of the #ThisFlag movement, and charged him with inciting violence, after a July 6 strike shut down much of the southern African nation. Police searched Mawarire's home in Harare. He rose to prominence in April when he draped a Zimbabwean flag over his shoulders and recorded a lament on the state of his nation on YouTube.
President Robert Mugabe's administration has faced mounting public unrest as a cash shortage has undermined the government's ability to pay its workers and consumer access to funds to pay their bills. Since abandoning its own currency in 2009 to end hyperinflation, Zimbabwe has used U.S. dollars, as well as South African rand, euros, and British pounds. The government spends about 83 percent of its revenue on wages, according to Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa.
Traffic from most of the capital's townships was heavy as Zimbabweans headed for work, Kubatana, a human-rights organization monitoring the strike, said in an e-mailed statement. Banks, which mostly closed during last week's labor action, opened as usual.
Zimbabwean Home Affairs Minister Ignatius Chombo warned Zimbabweans late Tuesday that anyone fomenting violence would face "the full wrath of the law."

How do you explain to anyone what it is like here in Israel at this moment?
Sirens in surrounding Gaza communities now
That remains one of our hardest challenges - not because we are wrong but because pictures, especially the fake ones coming from Syria that are being used again and again, speak louder than words, even the words that are true.
Because pictures of dead children in Gaza speak louder than terrified children in Israel, even if the deaths of those innocent Gaza children could have been avoided if Hamas had accepted the ceasefire agreement, if Hamas didn't hide behind civilians, using them as human shields.
Sirens in surrounding Gaza communities now
It has become a numbers game - they have 300+ dead, we have 5. Therefore, think the ignorant, we must be to blame; we must be causing a massacre. The vast majority of those who have died, this time like every other time, are combatants - like the one killed yesterday in Israel as he came though a tunnel intending to murder Israelis, like the rocket commander for Islamic Jihad, like the teams of rocket launchers caught in the act, like the 8 who infiltrated near a small village. Again and again, these are combatants...
And yes, innocent Palestinians have died in this conflict. Why? Ask yourself why. Israel has warned civilians away from certain buildings and areas...only to see hundreds of civilians on the roof tops protecting the buildings. Shouldn't a parent hide their children in bomb shelters, not take them on top of roofs?
Anyway, two interesting sites I have found may give you a sense of what it is like in Israel right now:
1. www.whatifgaza.com - Imagine if Gaza were targeting YOUR city, not mine.
2. www.israelhasbeenrocketfreefor.com/ this is the minutes, seconds and if we are lucky, hours since the last rocket attack. Where in the world, other than Israel, would such a site be possible? And worst of all is the sad and chilling reality - this is Israel today.
and then seconds ago, as I type...another attack. How long has Israel been rocket free....
Sirens in communities surrounding Gaza now
Most of the rockets are being fired towards Israeli cities with the desperate home that they will hit. There is, most clearly, an intention to harm civilians.
Again...sirens in surrounding Gaza communities now
We have seen miracle after miracle in the last 12 days, but equally true, our entire population is working to keep this miracle going. My grandson's little nursery class of three-year-olds was taken into a bomb shelter after a "pretend" attack. He came home to describe it to his mother. The sound was like "wee-ooo, wee-oo, wee-oooo" he said in a voice that would be even more adorable if it weren't describing a missile attack.
We have built a miracle in the Iron Dome - a shield that now covers the entire State of Israel. Developed here in Israel by people who knew their work was holy, that they were defending the skies above the heads of their own families.
Ashkelon hearing sirens now
And we have an amazing team of people working hard to spread awareness. This is what is happening now in Israel...hour after hour while we fight a war that has two goals...we are NOT trying to capture Gaza. We are NOT trying to hurt Palestinian civilians or innocents, most importantly not their children.
We are trying to stop the rockets and we are trying to discover and destroy the tunnels from which they are attempting to infiltrate our country. One was found in the very center of a small village; more than twenty have been discovered already.
They are built with cement walls - the very cement the United Nations demands we allow to enter Gaza. It's only building materials, not weapons, cry the humanitarian organizations - the very organizations who are ignoring the incessant bombing of six million Israelis.
Sirens in Ashkelon areas - several...and in communities surrounding Gaza now
I posted this picture a few days ago - this is how it looks most days in Israel...this is a google map overlaid with incoming missile warnings. You don't have to read Hebrew to understand much. I will tell you on the lower left portion of the map - you can see "Aviv Yaffo" - the "Tel" of Tel Aviv is covered, along with the city where my parents life, where my sister works. Where several of my clients are located, where many of my friends live. This is the reality of Israel today - these are cities, where people live; not military bases, not areas from which terrorists are firing. And there are no UN schools which suddenly woke up and admitted that terrorists were hiding 20 rockets in their basement.
Do you know how big a rocket is? Do you really think someone could carry 20 rockets into the UNRWA school without anyone knowing?
The truth, the real and honest truth is that the UN knows that just as we targeted their schools last time around, we WILL target it this time again because THEY allow rockets to be hidden in the basements of their schools. They ALLOW their ambulances to be used to ferry terrorists and weapons. They are aiding and abetting terrorists and if they allow their schools and clinics to be turned into arsenals...they are legitimate targets. Apparently, something good did come out of the Cast Lead War...at least the UN understands that small reality.

bummer... I was checking the product page, I thought it was a colour co-ordinated ear-wax remover.
bummer... I was checking the product page, I thought it was a colour co-ordinated ear-wax remover.
For what, elephants?
Well, it's a weird comparison coz while both genders can get pleasure from a Noble product, a man needs to have a certain state of mind to gain any pleasure from a dildo
There's a perfectly reasonable explanation why I don't have them. It's mostly the 8.A's I already own - I really would love to try the 8C though, but at the same time I'm a bit worried that they might be too close to the sound signature of the K10.
Tell you what, If I win the lottery I'll take one for the team, order the 8C and report back, comparing them to the K10 and the 8.A
Traitor's alert...
Probably not a lot of you know that Noble sponsors a wonderful Singer called Charley Macaulay... here is her first ever Music Video from her debut Album... this young Lady is going places & we're pleased to be associated with her... enjoy.
I'm still re-listening to the Roxannes because I just replaced my cables. Will update soon :)
That's on my to-do this, after I pay off December's excess.

The next morning, Isana woke when Lady Veradis opened the door. The pale young healer's dark-circled eyes were even more worn than the day before, but she wore the colors of her fathers house in a simple gown. The young woman smiled at Isana and said, "Good morrow, Steadholder."
"Lady," Isana said, with a nod. She looked around the room. "Where is Fade?"
Lady Veradis entered the room, bearing a tray covered with a cloth napkin. "Being bathed and fed. I'll have him brought in once you are ready."
"How is he?"
"Somewhat disoriented with fever. Weary. Otherwise lucid." She nodded at the food. "Eat and ready yourself. I will return presently."
Isana pushed worry from her mind, at least long enough to wash herself and partake of the sausages, fresh bread, and cheeses Veradis had brought. Once some of the food had touched her tongue, Isana found herself famished, and ate with abandon. The food would be necessary to keep her strength up during the healing, and she should take as much as she could.
A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door and Veradis asked, "Steadholder? May we enter?"
"Of course."
Veradis came in. Three guards bore a healer's tub readied with water. The tub wasn't as large as the one from the day before, and it bore spots of rust and wear that marked it as a well-worn member of its breed. It had probably been stored in a closet somewhere, forgotten until the sudden attack on the city demanded the use of every tub that could be found. The guards set it down on the floor, then one of them drew a low chair over to sit beside it.
A moment later, Giraldi came in, supporting Fade with one shoulder despite his limp and his cane. Fade wore only a long, white robe, his face was flushed with fever, his eyes glazed, and his wounded hand had swollen up into a grotesque mockery of itself.
Giraldi grimly helped the scarred man over to the tub and had to help Fade remove the robe. Fade's lean, wire-muscled body showed dozens of old scars Isana had never seen before, especially across his back, where the marks of the whipping that had accompanied his branding stood out from his skin, as thick as Isana's littlest finger.
Fade settled weakly into the tub, and when he laid his head back against the wooden rest, he seemed to fall asleep instantly.
"Are you prepared?" Veradis asked quietly.
Isana rose and nodded, without speaking.
Veradis gestured to the chair. "Sit, then. Take his hand."
Isana did so. The low chair put her head on a level with Fade's, and she watched the scarred slave's features as she reached down to take up his healthy hand and grip it between hers.
"It isn't a terribly complicated crafting," Veradis said. "The infection has a natural tendency to gather at the site of the wound. So concentrated, his body cannot drive it out. You must dilute the infection, spreading it more thinly throughout his body, where he will have a chance to fight it off."
Isana frowned and drew in a slow breath. "But that will spread the sickness throughout his whole body. If I stop, the infection could take root anywhere. One site is bad enough. I could not handle two at once."
Veradis nodded. "And it could take his body days to fight off the infection."
Isana bit her lip again. Days. She had never maintained a healing furycraft for more than a few hours.
"It isn't a very good way to help him," Veradis said quietly. "It is, however, the only way. Once you begin, you cannot stop until he has won through. If you do, the garic oil will corrupt his blood entirely. He'll die within an hour." She reached into a pocket and drew out a soft, supple cord, offering it to Isana. "Are you sure you wish to attempt this?"
Isana studied Fade's scarred face. "I can't tie that with one hand, lady."
The young healer nodded, then knelt and, very carefully, bound Isana's hand loosely together with Fade's. "A very great deal will depend upon him, Steadholder," she murmured as she worked. "Upon his will to live."
"He will live," Isana said in a quiet voice.
"If he so chooses, there is hope," Veradis said. "But if he does not, or if the infection is simply too great, you must end the crafting."
Veradis continued as if Isana had not spoken. "Depending on the progress of the infection, he may become delusional. Violent. Be prepared to restrain him. Should he lose consciousness altogether, or if he bleeds from the nose, mouth, or ears, there is little hope for his life. That's how you will know when it is time to break away."
Isana closed her eyes and shook her head, firmly, once. "I will not leave him."
"Then you will die with him," Veradis said, her tone matter-of-fact.
I should have, Isana thought bitterly. I should have twenty years ago.
"I strongly urge you not to throw away your life in vain," Veradis murmured. "In fact, I beg you. There are never enough skilled healers during war, and your talents could prove invaluable to the city's defense."
Isana looked up and met the young woman's eyes. "You must fight your battle," she said quietly. "And I must fight mine."
Veradis's tired gaze focused elsewhere for a moment, then she nodded. "Very well. I will look in on you if I can. There are guards in the hall. I have instructed them to serve as attendants, should you need food or any kind of assistance."
"Thank you, Lady Vera-"
Isana's words were suddenly drowned by a titanic booming sound, so loud that it shook the stones of the citadel and rattled the glass in the windows, cracking it in several places. There was a second boom. Then, much more faintly, a rumble of drums, a series of clarion calls of military trumpets, and a sound like wind rushing through thick forest.
Lady Veradis drew in a sharp breath, and said, "It's begun."
Giraldi stumped over to the window and peered out. "Here come Kalare's Legions. Forming up near the south gate."
"What was that sound?" Isana asked.
"Knights Ignus. Probably tried to blast the gate down, first thing." He squinted for a moment, then said, "Cereus's Legions are on the walls now. Must not have taken the gate down."
"I must go," Veradis said. "I am needed."
"Of course," Isana said. "Thank you."
Veradis gave her a fleeting smile, and murmured, "Good luck." She departed on silent feet.
"To all of us," Giraldi growled, frowning out the window. A series of smaller detonations came rippling through the predawn air, and Isana could actually see the light of the fires reflected against the glass.
"What's happening?" she asked.
"Kalare brought his firecrafters up. Looks like they're blasting the walls."
"Aren't they too thick to blast through?" Isana asked.
Giraldi grunted in the affirmative. "But it creates rough spots to help troops climb ropes and ladders. If they get lucky, they might crack the wall. Then they could bring in watercrafters and use them to widen the break or undermine the wall."
A brilliant glow suddenly poured through the windows, the light a cool, bluish color rather than the orange-gold of dawn.
Giraldi grunted. "Nice."
He glanced at her over his shoulder. "Cereus let the firecrafters go to town until he could tell where most of them were. Then he moved his Knights Flora to the walls and turned on every furylight and lamp in the city so they could see to shoot."
"Did it work?"
"Can't see from here," Giraldi said. "But the legionares on the walls are cheering them on."
"Perhaps they've killed Kalare's firecrafters, then."
"They didn't get all of them."
"How do you know?"
Giraldi shrugged. "You never get them all. But it looks like they've given Kalare's forces something to think about."
Isana frowned. "What happens now?"
Giraldi frowned. "Depends on how bloody they're willing to get. Cereus and his people are on their home ground, familiar with the local furies. It gives them an advantage over Kalare's Knights. They tried a lightning assault and failed. Now as long as Cereus keeps his Knights intact and uses them well, Kalare's forces will get massacred if they charge in against Cereus's Knights."
"If they want to storm the city, they must destroy its Knights," Isana said. "Is that it?"
"Pretty much. They've got to know that time isn't on their side, too. They've got to take the city before reinforcements arrive. The only way to do it fast is to do it bloody." The old soldier shook his head. "This is going to be a bad one. Like Second Calderon."
Isana's memory flashed back to the battle. The corpses had been burned in bonfires that reached forty feet into the sky. It had taken most of a year to clean the blood and filth from the stones of Garrison. She could still hear screams, moans, cries of the wounded and dying. It had been a nightmare.
Only this time, it would not be a few hundred noncombatants in peril, but thousands, tens of thousands.
Isana shuddered.
Giraldi finally turned from the window, shaking his head. "You need anything from me? "
Isana drew in a deep breath and shook her head. "Not now."
"I'll leave you to it, then," Giraldi said. "Ill be right outside."
Isana nodded and bit her lip.
Giraldi paused at the door. "Steadholder. You thinking you can't do this?"
"I... " Isana swallowed. "I've never... I don't think I can do it. '
"You're wrong," Giraldi growled. "Known you for years. Fact of the matter is, you can't not do it." He nodded to her and slipped outside. He shut the door behind him.
Isana bowed her head at Giraldi's words. Then she turned back to her patient.
She had treated infected wounds often, both in her capacity as a steadholt's healer and during her term of service in the Legion camps. Standard practice was to encourage increased blood flow through the site, then to painstakingly focus on the afflicted tissues, destroying the infection a tiny piece at a time. Once Rill had severely weakened the infection, the patient's body itself could eliminate whatever sickness was left in the wound.
She'd done it with training injuries in the camps, for young legionares too foolish to properly clean and care for a minor cut. She'd done it for holders and their children, even for livestock. Infections were a tricky business, requiring both delicacy, to finely control the actions of her fury, and strength, to assault the invading fevers. It had rarely taken her more than half an hour to render such a wound manageable once more.
Isana sent Rill gliding into the tub, surrounding Fade with the fury's presence. Isana's senses, extended through the water fury, usually felt the presence of an infection as a low, sullen, hateful kind of heat. Exposure to it was unpleasant but bearable, on a scale somewhat similar to being burned by a long day in the sun.
But Fade's wound was different. The instant her fury touched upon the battered man's wound, Isana felt it as a searing blaze, hotter than an oven, and she flinched back from it by pure reflex.
Fade groaned in his sleep and stirred before settling down again. He was in the grip of a fever dream. She felt his confusion as a series of flashes of one emotion, then another, none of them remaining long enough to be clearly understood. Isana set her jaw in determination. Then, focusing again on Rill, she pressed her senses back into the waters of the tub and reached for Fade's wounded hand.
As she touched upon the wound, she felt every muscle in her body grow suddenly tight, as the pulsing, malevolent fire of the garic-oil infection seared its way into her perceptions. She held herself against the pain, marshaling her thoughts and her focus, and pressed harder against the wound site.
She saw at once why Veradis regarded this crafting as a difficult and dangerous one. Infections had life of their own, and Isana had encountered several different breeds, attempting to spread through the body of the victim, like the freemen of a steadholt marching into a new wilderness to make it their own.
The garic fever, though, was no mere steadholt of settlers. It was a Legion, a horde, a civilization of tiny, destructive creatures. That was why the usual, uncomfortable heat was so much more intense and painful. The fever was already destroying Fade's hand, corroding the veins and vessels, working its way in threads and tendrils to the bones of his hand and wrist. If Isana attempted the usual course of action, attacking the fever directly, it would tear apart Fade's hand, allow the infection to spread to different areas of the body while maintaining its painful and dangerous density, send him into shock, and likely kill him. She could not simply attempt to crush it.
Instead, she would have to lay siege to the fever in the stronghold it had made of the wound. Attacking it by inches, she should be able to chip slowly away at the teeming mass of infection to wash it out through the blood in pieces small enough for Fade's body to combat them successfully. As she did so, she would simultaneously have to keep pressure against the infection, to keep it from fracturing into larger pieces as she undermined it, chipping it away.
But there was so much of the fever. It could take days for her to finish the job, and all the while, it would be attempting to grow, spread, and destroy. If she worked too swiftly, freeing masses of infection too large, Fade's body would not be able to combat them, and the infection would spread with lethal consequences. If she worked too slowly, breaking off pieces too small, the fever would breed faster than it could be destroyed. And all the while, she would be forced to endure the pain of proximity and keep her focus on the task.
It seemed almost impossible. But if she allowed herself to believe that, she would never be able to help him.
Giraldi was right. Isana would rather lose her own life than stand aside and watch as a friend died.
Isana tightened her fingers on Fade's hand and prepared to call out to Rill. She closed her eyes and tried to ignore the sounds of drums and trumpets and far-distant shouts of the wounded and dying.
Isana shivered. At least Tavi was safe and well away from this insanity.

I like the idea behind assisting teachers in creating their own classroom environment. However, the interactive classroom did not appear to function as I could not set up the virtual classroom. Perhaps once corrected, this may be a useful tool for education students looking to experiment how the design of a classroom can increase the productivity within a traditional classroom environment.
Deborah Watry (Faculty)
This would be useful if teachers were creating a new classroom; however, most classrooms already have computers and furniture already in place. New teachers may find this useful as they create their own classroom environment.
Look for current articles to support technology use in the classroom.
Technical Remarks:
Some of the links are inoperable and should be reviewed/adjusted to keep current. I enjoyed reviewing the websites that do work.

Project Report
November 2012
This report covers September through November 2012. Mila Yatan Pika Pte Oyate Okolakiciye (Knife Chief Buffalo Nation Organization) continues to provide a pasture/home for members of the Pte Oyate (Buffalo Nation) and the community continues to reap the benefits in terms of spiritual and physical nourishment from them.
We had two major events during this period, here's a brief overview of both:
Mila Yatan Pika Pte Oyate Okolakiciye (Knife Chief Buffalo Nation Organization provided a Wiping of Tears ceremony for the community on September 1, 2012 at the Porcupine Pow-wow Grounds in Porcupine, SD on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. This ceremony has been handed down through the generations to the Lakota people as a way of addressing grief due to losing a relative. It is meant to provide strength to continue the path of life despite the physical absence of the loved one. It is not intended to signify the end of the mourning period is intended as a way to comfort and acknowledge the loss of the mourners. There is another ceremony associated with releasing the spirit of the departed one after one year; this ceremony is not to be confused with that.
The Wiping of the Tears ceremony involves gathering those who have lost a loved one within the past year and having a spiritual leader provide prayers for them; having an Elder give them words of comfort and encouragement; having a designated person feed the mourners with spiritual food (wasna – a mixture of dried buffalo meat and chokecherries and chokecherry juice) and tobacco and the community (in this case, Mila Yatan Pika Pte Oyate Okolakiciye- Knife Chief Buffalo Nation Organization) provides a meal. The significance of the ceremony is to provide prayers to nourish them spiritually; spiritual food to nourish them physically and words, hugs and handshakes to comfort them emotionally. Drummers and singers provide Lakota songs for encouragement as well. One participant's words were especially moving – "wopila (a Lakota expression of appreciation) for doing this ceremony for my children, they cry for their mother all the time and this will help them…" Due to the spiritual nature of the ceremony, no photographs were taken. As the ceremony was held prior to the Porcupine Pow-wow starting, I took a photograph of a beautiful little Lakota girl who was dressed to dance at the Pow-wow:
On October 19-21, 2012, in Porcupine, SD on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, a group of young women, their older (and some younger) female relatives gathered to learn about traditional and contemporary teachings on becoming a woman. Topics included putting up a Tipi and the significance of the tipi, leadership skills, Lakota relationship protocols, the importance of a Lakol Caje (Lakota spiritual name), the traditional and contemporary role of a Lakota woman, the impact of trauma, Lakota cultural responses to trauma, instruction on completing a Lakota crafts project, Lakota dancing and the changing female body to name several. During the cultural camp, one young woman received a Lakota name and one the last day of the camp, two girls went through the Isna Ti Awicalowan Pi ("They sing for her that lives alone"), a Lakota ceremony that marks the passage from being a girl to a young woman. This gathering involved many volunteers and was done in partnership with Tasunke Wakan Okolakiciye (Medicine Horse Society), which provided the facilities and grounds for the cultural camp. We thank the volunteers, Tasunke Wakan Okolakiciye, Pahin Sinte Owayawa (Porcupine School, who provided the shower facilities and a donation for food/supplies) and all those involved.
Mila Yatan Pika Pte Oyate (Knife Chief Buffalo Nation Organization – KNBO) entered into discussions with Western Buffalo Services (WBS) and came to an agreement on sharing resources. WBS will provide financial capital to assist with fencing supplies and KCBN will provide pasture and buffalo for future harvesting in exchange for their investment.
We plan on having a Koskalaka Wicayuwita Pi (Young Men's Gathering) cultural camp at the end of November. This camp will focus on traditional and contemporary teachings on being/becoming a Lakota man. The agenda is attached to this report. We look forward to reporting on it in the future.

We extend a heartfelt appreciation to the people who have supported our efforts whether financially, physically or spiritually. Your support is truly appreciated and we especially appreciate the Tunkasila (spiritual entities) for their continued support and guidance. We also acknowledge the Pte Oyate (Buffalo Nation) for what they inspire in us and their teachings – protection of the young, conservation of the land and the strength and fortitude to endure whatever comes. Lila Wopila Tanka!! (We thank you all very much). We ask you the general public, our friends and relatives, what you think we should do to expand our work so that others can learn from the teachings of the buffalo nation? We are very interested in hearing from you!

Direct operatorial tau method for pantograph-type equations. The Lanczos tau method is applied to find Chebyshev polynomial approximations for the solutions of pantograph differential equations. The results are accompanied by an error analysis. Numerical examples, calculated by our Matlab package Chebpack confirm the theory and prove the importance for practice of this approach.

Shug McGaughey isn't one to be afflicted with Derby Fever, but the
Hall of Fame trainer admits that he's excited about the prospect of
running Fountain of Youth (G2) victor Orb in the Kentucky Derby (G1) on
May 4.
"Like I said after the Fountain of Youth, I wake up every morning
thinking of winning the Kentucky Derby. I wish I'd won it a long time
ago so I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore," McGaughey said
Thursday morning. "The reason I don't get Derby Fever is that I want to
take the right horse. Maybe I made a mistake or two not taking them, but
I really can't look back and say that I did. I'm looking forward to the
experience. I'm looking forward to two Saturdays from now."
Orb, who earned enough qualifying points (50) in the Fountain of
Youth to make it into the 20-horse Kentucky Derby field, is training for
a start in the $1 million Besilu Stables Florida Derby at Gulfstream
Park on March 30. The son of Malibu Moon, who breezed a half-mile on
Monday at Payson Park in 48 2/5 seconds (second fastest of 16 recorded
at the distance), will seek his fourth straight victory (third at
Gulfstream) in the Florida Derby.
"Not that I didn't think that he had a chance to be a decent horse,
but it's just how quick he's become a decent horse," McGaughey said.
"After he broke his maiden, he just put it all together. Winning and
growing up and getting his gate experience behind him, it just sort of
mentally came together."
After breaking his maiden at Aqueduct on Nov. 24 in his fourth
start, Orb captured a 1 1/8-mile allowance, followed by his half-length
upset over heavily favored Violence in the Fountain of Youth on Feb. 23.
McGaughey had a similar experience of a 3-year-old suddenly coming into its own at Gulfstream Park in 1997."I had a filly one time who had finished second and third in stakes as a
2-year-old and when I put blinkers on her and brought her down here,
she won everything she ran in," McGaughey said.
Glitter Woman captured the Forward Gal (G3), Davona Dale (G3) and
the Bonnie Miss (G2) at Gulfstream before capturing the Ashland (G1) at
Keeneland.McGaughey has saddled only six horses for starts in the Derby since
1984 and none since 2002, when Saarland finished 10th. Easy Goer
finished second behind Sunday Silence in both the Derby and Preakness
before winning the Belmont in 1989.
