Jon Rose and Chris Abrahams have been circling one another for decades. Four to be exact. They've worked together on a variety of projects, but never as a duo. That alone makes this recording an exciting proposition for fans of new classical music.
Rose is a violinist who pushes the instrument well outside its conventional boundaries. His collection includes a tenor hardanger fiddle, a violin often associated with traditional Norwegian music. It sports eight or nine strings, versus the standard four.
Given his detailed style, it's not difficult to imagine Rose seeking out violins that offer something more than the standard fare. In fact, his hardanger is specially made with sympathetic strings. Designed to add resonance to his playing, Rose employs non-standard tunings that connect with Abrahams' piano to produce wave after wave of intricate microtones.
Which is not to suggest that Abrahams' performance is in a supporting role. He is every bit Rose's equal. What may be most impressive about this recording is the number of times the two race forward in virtual lockstep, delivering increasingly dense solo performances side by side.
That obvious contradiction in terms is a testament to the talent on display. You could conceivably pull these two mind-blowing pieces apart and find yourself with a pair of virtuoso recitals.
But that is not at all the point. The real beauty of Peggy is in the connection of these two master improvisers. As such, it is a fitting tribute to Australian composer Peggy Glanville-Hicks. Back in 1938, Glanville-Hicks was the first in her country to see her work presented at an International Society for Contemporary Music Festival. In 1949, she joined the New York Herald Tribune as a music critic.
This album was recording during Rose's 2017 Peggy Glanville-Hicks Composer's Residency.

Inequality shatters societies
I write this from outside America; a Londoner, and a European. One thing that has struck me in recent debates about Trump, Brexit, and the wider questions of economics, society, and healthcare is a statement I've heard from several Americans:
"America is a Capitalist country. We are not Socialist."
So the government does not pay for people's healthcare, infrastructure (or whatever we were discussing). This very binary idea of what being capitalist means threatens a slow collapse into social unrest and, historically, revolutions. Once poverty affects life expectancy, you are down to the basics of raw humanity. People get angry and desperate, and being rich becomes uncomfortable.
In the UK, where we all have free healthcare, many people find it bizarre to see such U.S. opposition to basic healthcare for everyone. It seems barbaric, not "Capitalist."
Bottom line: If economic factors keep wages from rising, then the rich who are getting richer need to recognize their responsibility to those who are getting poorer. But none of this will happen while economically ultra-conservative billionaires run America. Instead we will see an increase in poverty, and the death not only of dreams and aspirations, but also of people.
Other voices in the conversation:
- Robert J. Gordon, economics professor, Northwestern University, author The Rise and Fall of American Growth: The political pendulum will swing back
- Darrick Hamilton, director of urban policy, the New School: The dice should not be loaded
- Edmund S. Phelps, Nobel laureate and economics professor, Columbia University: Give us grassroots innovation
- Lyman Stone, agriculture economist, USDA: Resist the taker-state

Corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF) acts via two family B G-protein-coupled receptors, CRFR1 and CRFR2. Additional subtypes exist due to alternative splicing. CRFR1α is the most widely expressed subtype and lacks a 29-residue insert in the first intracellular loop that is present in CRFR1β. It has been shown previously that co-expression of CRFR1β with receptor activity modifying protein 2 (RAMP2) in HEK 293S cells increased the cell-surface expression of both proteins suggesting a physical interaction as seen with RAMPs and calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR). This study investigated the ability of CRFR1α, CRFR1β and CRFR2β to promote cell-surface expression of FLAG-tagged RAMP2. Four different cell-lines were utilised to investigate the effect of varying cellular context; COS-7, HEK 293T, HEK 293S and [ΔCTR]HEK 293 (which lacks endogenous calcitonin receptor). In all cell-lines, CRFR1α and CRFR1β enhanced RAMP2 cell-surface expression. The magnitude of the effect on RAMP2 was dependent on the cell-line ([ΔCTR]HEK 293 > COS-7 > HEK 293T > HEK 293S). RT-PCR indicated this variation may relate to differences in endogenous RAMP expression between cell types. Furthermore, pre-treatment with CRF resulted in a loss of cell-surface FLAG-RAMP2 when it was co-expressed with CRFR1 subtypes. CRFR2β co-expression had no effect on RAMP2 in any cell-line. Molecular modelling suggests that the potential contact interface between the extracellular domains of RAMP2 and CRF receptor subtypes is smaller than that of RAMP2 and CRL, the canonical receptor:RAMP pairing, assuming a physical interaction. Furthermore, a specific residue difference between CRFR1 subtypes (glutamate) and CRFR2β (histidine) in this interface region may impair CRFR2β:RAMP2 interaction by electrostatic repulsion.

St. Patrick's Day is celebrated around the world by Irish and non-Irish alike. Today, the holiday is seen as an excuse to wear green clothes, eat corned beef, drink green beverages and maybe get a little rowdy.
On Monday, millions of people honored St. Patrick's Day with parades and parties. New York City hosted the oldest annual St. Patrick's Day parade and had about 200,000 participants. In the Windy City, the Chicago River was dyed emerald green. Other cities across the country hosted their own parades and parties.
The holiday is worth celebrating, but for more reasons than just sporting Irish pride.
St. Patrick didn't become the patron saint of Ireland because he was lucky. His story is an inspiration to everyone, including college students suffering from the "post-spring-break-blues."
Though St. Patrick is an Irish icon, he was actually born in Britain, more than 1,500 years ago. When he was 16, Patrick was kidnapped by Irish marauders and taken back to Ireland where he was sold as a slave. While in captivity he worked as a shepherd and converted to Christianity.
After six years, Patrick escaped and returned to his home in Britain. However, he received a vision instructing him to return to Ireland and minister to the people there. Though Patrick faced opposition from many of the pagan groups, he converted many Irish to Christianity and built schools and monasteries.
According to legend, Patrick used the three leaves of a shamrock to illustrate the Trinity to the Irish pagans. Because of this story, the 18th century Irish people began wearing shamrocks on St. Patrick's Day to show their pride. This tradition eventually evolved into wearing green clothing.
The holiday is celebrated on March 17, which is supposedly the day Patrick died. It was made an official Christian feast day and a national public holiday in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Patrick's success had nothing to do with luck. His strong faith, patience, perseverance and dedication helped him accomplish so much. He overcame many adversities and his deeds are still celebrated more than a thousand years later.
So next year, don't hesitate to sport some green and have some fun on St. Patrick's Day. Remember the holiday's true meaning. And don't hesitate to take a leaf (or a shamrock) out of St. Patrick's book.

Constructivism & Cognitivist Perspective
Considered one of the most prominent and prolific constructivists, Jean Piaget developed the theory of cognitive development around the premise that thoughts, memory, past experience, problem solving and processing information all influence the learner (Doolittle and Hicks, 2012). Piaget's four stages of cognitive development changed the education paradigm from a traditional passive and transference process into one that the individual constructs knowledge and becomes an active learner (Brown and Desforges, 2007).
Piaget's four stages of cognitive development are:
- Sensorimotor stage (birth to 2 years)
- Pre-operational stage (2 to 7 years)
- Concrete operational stage (7 to 12 years)
- Formal operational stage (12 years onward)
Ideas, thoughts and knowledge development that exist in memory according to Piaget are termed schema. The concept of schema theory involves the organised structure of memories, past experience and the knowledge we possess and develop over time (Winn and Snyder, 1996). This constant interpretation and adaption is according to Piaget, the process of adaption and assimilation to the environment. Adaption are the skills to develop cognitively to progress and continually learn, progress and remain challenged. Accommodation is when the new knowledge or the existing schema do not work, the requirement of a different perspective or even changes need to occur for ongoing learning opportunities and development. Assimilation is using new experiences to already existing schema, knowledge and experiences.
To succinctly summarise cognitive perspective learning theory, "learners learn how to learn" (Biggs and Tang, 2007). The cognitive approach requires active participation and educational approaches to encourage interaction to realise potential (Killen, 2012). This educational approach generates meaning from the interactions in learning and the view of one's self and internal organisation of knowledge. The structured learning environment means the teacher becomes a facilitator of learning rather than the provider of information (Killen, 2012).
Central to this cognitive representation and subsequent theories from Piaget's extensive research is the focus of the development and education of children, rather than adults. One element of conjecture with Piaget is the four stages take the learner from birth (sensorimotor stage) to childhood (formal operational stage), but lacks the relevancy for the adult learner (McLeod, 2009).

The ship was gaining a full hour every three days …Source: The Innocents Abroad by Mark Twain
We sent him to the captain, and he explained to him the mystery of "ship time" and set his troubled mind at rest.
The book does not include details of the reverse effects of losing a full hour every three days at the other end of the journey.
I know some people who cherish traveling west even today for the time gained in additional rest and more natural inclinations towards early hours, even if temporarily.

Florida Oceanographic was started in 1964, the year of my birth. When my parents moved to Stuart, I was eight months old. After living with or near my grandparents, the family built a house on Edgewood Drive in St Lucie Estates. As soon as I was old enough to ride my bike, one of the coolest things around was Florida Oceanographic at the mouth of Krueger Creek, where Mr Rand, an eccentric, wealthy businessman lived or had the headquarters to his corporation.
Another part of growing up was going to St Mary's Church. And as a kid I always looked up to the older kids and two of the most prominent were Mark and Chris Perry. Their parents lived in Snug Harbor and looked like movie stars to me. Mark and Chris were simply "cool," while I was a little twerp. My mom always told me Mark worked or helped at Florida Oceanographic, this made me pay more attention to the water and research of such.
In time Mark became the head of Florida Oceanographic. I went away to University of Florida and other places for over 17 years and when I returned the new location of the institution on Hutchinson Island was even more compelling. Mark's leadership had built the institution and given a voice to the Indian River Lagoon and offshore reefs in way never done locally before, inspiring a new generation of people.
To celebrate Florida Oceanographic, is to celebrate the life of Mark Perry. No one has given a lifetime of service to the areas' lagoon and ocean in the way Mark Perry has. Fifty years later and he remains one of the people I still admire most and feel he has influenced my love and protective attitude towards our local waters; I bet he's influenced you too. Go visit today and give Mark Perry a bear hug in the name of the Indian River Lagoon!

Sources report that junior Evan Anderson, who shares a two-bedroom apartment on Catherine St. with senior Doug LaCerva, has been waiting nearly 48 hours for the appropriate time to eat his roommate's leftover pizza.
"[LaCerva] got takeout at Cottage Inn a couple nights ago with some friends and he still hasn't eaten the leftovers," said Anderson. "He never explicitly offered them to me, but there's also no way I'm going to let those last few slices go to waste."
Anderson has reportedly checked the fridge every time LaCerva left the house to see if the pizza box was still in there. "I thought [LaCerva] might eat it for breakfast this morning, but it was still there when he left for class," said Anderson. "The cheese is starting to get kind of crusty, so I'm wondering if he thinks it got too gross to eat. I don't want him to be upset though."
Anderson reportedly plans on giving LaCerva another few hours to eat the leftover pizza before Anderson "lays claim" to it.
"It almost feels like he's tempting me on purpose at this point. He knows I love Cottage Inn's garlic crust," said Anderson. "And besides, if he actually gets mad when I eat it, I can always just yell at him for taking up more than half the fridge."

Chevrolet and advertising agency Commonwealth from Bangkok have released a new hilarious video spot.
The commercial depicts a brand new Chevrolet, gliding in the streets of a city. It spreads the sound of a very powerful engine and everyone in town is impressed with this car. However, the sound comes from the family, who is driving in Chevrolet! Apparently, the car's engine is small, but it is still fun.
Watch the video and have a good laugh.

We all want to permanently remove blackheads from our skin. They are small bumps which are caused by clogged hair follicles. They may be a form of acne which is the easiest to treat. We will present you with this amazing method which will help you remove blackheads from your nose and face by using only a toothbrush, toothpaste, and baking soda.
Mix your toothpaste with baking soda and apply it on your nose, or the most affected area. Let it stay like that for 5 minutes, and then massage the area with the toothbrush with light matting movements. Then rinse it off with warm water and apply a face toner.
Enjoy your beautiful skin.

When you walk through a forest, what do you see? Probably trees (if not, then you may not be standing in a forest!), colourful wildflowers, maybe the path ahead, the sky above, splashes of colour and shape. But do you see the smaller creatures, the ones working hard, often behind the scenes, to keep the forest thriving? These include insects, fungi, mosses and other tiny organisms living on logs or in leaf litter and in other tiny hideaways? Most forests contain tiny worlds within worlds and these are the places I like to explore. I live in cool-temperate southern Tasmania (that's the triangular shaped island to the south of mainland Australia) and I frequently go wilding with my wife and three daughters in our local forests, specifically looking for mushrooms and other colourful fungi. Not to eat, just to enjoy! I often photograph the ones that are new to me or that my children happily point out ("Look Dad! FUNGI!"), partly so that I can work out their names later using taxonomic guidebooks (I'm a science buff like that!), and partly because I enjoy capturing these tiny worlds in pixel form. Along the way, I reckon I've learned a few things about photographing fungi, so thought I'd share a few tips with you. I'll mostly talk about mushroom type fungi here, but these tips should apply to most other types you'll find.
Get Down Low!
Almost all beginner photographers take their photos from a head-height perspective as it is the easiest position to photograph from when out and about. But to really try to capture the world of small organisms such as fungi, you need to be willing to bend those knees and hips and get down low! If you're using your camera phone, try placing the lens-end of your phone to the ground or fallen log, and snapping some shots. Play with different angles; what would be an ants-eye view? If you're using a DSLR camera trying placing it on a soft wheat-bag to keep the camera steady and to avoid blurry images. See if you can make a mushroom appear like a giant of the forest!
Hold you camera close to the ground to make a tiny world appear huge!
Follow the Light!
To get a nicely contrasting shot of a mushroom (and most other outdoor objects), it is often good to have the sun at the photographers back. But I've found that sometimes you can create a more interesting mood in your photo when the mushroom is back-lit, especially if the cap (the top part) is nearly transparent. If you have time, try back-lit and front-lit photos and see what conditions work best in a given situation.
Back lighting can create an interesting scene.
Find your Focus!
If you want to take a photo of a wispy mushroom, it can be difficult to get the little rascal in focus. If you're using your phone camera, hold the camera a couple of inches away from a dark solid object and lock the focus (to do this on the iPhone's native Camera app, hold down one finger on the screen). Then bring the camera back to the fungi and hold it around the same distance away from your hand as when you locked the focus previously. It takes a little practice but you'll find you can get very short focal lengths at this instance.
I took this photo in a dark forest using an iPhone, with the help of the focus-lock technique.
Capture the Details!
So you might want to put a name to the fungi that you're looking at. This is often difficult, because many species are still un-named or un-described. Whilst mushrooms can look like simple structures, they may differ on very fine details, sometimes microscopic. A good bet is to take a few shots, one of the top (cap), a side-on view that shows the stem (it may have a ring or particular colouration), and one of the underside of the cap. A little hand-mirror is useful for photographing the reflection of the underside of the cap, to avoid damaging it needlessly. It is also helpful to take a wide-shot that shows what the fungi is growing out of (e.g. wood or soil or something else). You might also like to collect a spore print. There are lots of online resources for fungi identification, and an increasing number of phone apps and guidebooks to help. I find that learning the names of species helps me feel more connected to them; like we've introduced ourselves properly! If you want to photograph for art's sake then fungi are great for that! Try contrasting colours, look for repeating patterns in clusters of mushrooms, capture scale with small against big, or look for reflections of the forest canopy in the the water droplets resting on a mushrooms cap!
Capture different angles to help identification: a) Cap-view, b) Side-view, c) Gills-view and d) Spore print.
Find that Treasure!
Where do fungi live? Well potentially anywhere, but some fungi favour particular habitats. Some great places to look for mushrooms are in wet forests and natural areas, around old and decaying trees and stumps and down amongst the leaf litter. However, you might be just as lucky to find some in the shadier areas of your yard. These ones can be great to observe over time, seeing how they look at different stages of growth and decay. In some places, if you look carefully, you might just see the fringe of a fungus along the edge of a fallen branch; turn it over and who knows what beauty you might find!
This intricate fungi was found on the underside of a twig at ground level.
Compose your Shot!
A small mushroom can get lost in a photo, especially when the background is complex and full of leaves and grass and shadow and light. So if you want your fungi to get the attention it deserves, either get closer to your fungi, or crop the photo to bring out the details.
Fungi lost in the forest
Fungi to the front!
Spending time photographing fungi and other tiny creatures of the forest floor has helped me to feel like a veil has been lifted to the way I perceive nature in forests. I'm now seeing things I would have previously overlooked. I've learned that diversity resides almost everywhere, even the simplest looking natural areas. Happy wilding!

Headphones have been through an incredible evolution over the last 70 years. Since the bulky stereo sets created by audiophile John C. Koss to the ubiquitous pair from Apple, headphones have become as much of an everyday accessory as glasses or timepieces (if not even more prevalent). I've admittedly gone through at least 50 pairs of Apple's white headphones over the last few years – likely the result of friends staking claim over pairs they assumed belonged to them.
Thankfully, a recent email solved my problem. Woodbuds, a wickedly cool brand from across the pond, reached out to me last week to show off their signature product – the Woodbuds In-Ear Headphones. Wooden accessories have been done before but not with this same flair. I opted for the white pair and neon green pair (because we all know I love a little pizzazz)! The reason I liked these so much was because not only will their uniqueness mean friends are less likely to clain them, but they also don't tangle as easily as the generic kind. As an added bonus, Woodbuds are sustainable and offer an incredibly small carbon footprint.
Essentially, this is a win-win all around. Cool noise-isolating headphones mean my playlists get much more eartime. *AMEN*

#MiColours - The Tumbled Blush Collection
Where do you see colour? As part of our new #MiColours movement, we're looking at all the colours and all the inspirations we see every day - every where - in every thing. At Mi-Pac we've always loved celebrating creativity, trying to create bags in every colour known to man in all shapes and sizes. We want to share with you a little insight into our buzzing brains on where we find our inspiration.
The Tumbled Blush is a beautiful shade of pink and cream. There's something very peaceful about pastels. Sometimes all your eyes need is a rest from your computer screens, and all the vivid colours we're seeing. We need something zen, and that's exactly what the blush does. It's a chilled, natural colour.
When we saw these donuts from Sweet Bloom Cakes, we saw the PERFECT food counterpart for the Tumbled Blush. Sweet Bloom Cakes do the majority of their baking in pastel colours and their buttercreams look de-licious.
Artist Marco Evaristti applied food colouring to the geysers in Iceland to create this effect, and is one of the best things we saw in 2015 for inspiration. There was a bit of uproar surrounding it but no damage was done to the local environment, which makes us love it even more.
The Tumbled Blush is new this season but we're confident it'll become popular and memorable as time goes on. The relaxed colourway is available in various Mi-Pac forms including the backpack, coin purse and washbag.

If you're a college student, you know that your email is many of times a mixture of your first name, last name, and sometimes a weird and random number. We never get a choice in our email address, it just is what it is–probably chosen by an automated computer system.
One student is pretty embarrassed with her assigned email address from her college because, to be honest, it's downright filthy. Megan Finger is a student at Central Washington University–and, but the looks of her name, we already know this is going to deserve a "Congratulations, you played yourself."
CWU assigned her the email: "[email protected]."
THANK YOU Central for my awesome email address and username…… Like really? pic.twitter.com/G6ab4Ikoik

Can you imagine the uncomfortable emails she's going to have to send her professors? Ouch, girl. The school should 150% change her email address, or at least offer her a choice in changing it. Twitter felt somewhat bad for her…I mean, I do, too. Some, however, found it hilarious.
You poor sweet child.

The testimony of Guy F. Rose was taken at 3 p.m., on April 8, 1964, in the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post Office Building, Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Joseph A. Ball, assistant counsel of the President's Commission.
Mr. BALL. Will you please hold up your right hand to be sworn?
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give before the Commission will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. ROSE. I do.
Mr. BALL. Will you state your name, now, please?
Mr. ROSE. G.F. Rose, 714 Hall Road, Seagoville.
Mr. BALL. What is your business?
Mr. ROSE. I am a police officer, a detective assigned to the homicide and robbery bureau.
Mr. BALL. How long have you been with the Dallas Police Department?
Mr. ROSE. Ten years.
Mr. BALL. Where were you born?
Mr. ROSE. I was born in Grannis, Ark.
Mr. BALL. And where did you go to school?
Mr. ROSE. I finished high school in Grand Prairie High School and attended grade school at Shady Grove Independent School District between Irving and Grand Prairie.
Mr. BALL. And what have you done since then?
Mr. ROSE. Well, after I finished high school I went to work for a construction company as a timekeeper and worked until I was 21. Then I went on the police department.
Mr. BALL. You have been on the police department ever since you were 21 years old?
Mr. ROSE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. That was what year?
Mr. ROSE. It was in 1954.
Mr. BALL. On the 22d of November, 1963, were you on duty?
Mr. ROSE. I went on duty shortly after the assassination. At the time of the assassination I was not on duty.
Mr. BALL. Did somebody call you and ask you to come on duty?
Mr. ROSE. No; I came in just as soon as I heard of the shooting--I came on to work.
Mr. BALL. Where did you go to work?
Mr. ROSE. I reported to the homicide office. It's room 317 at the city hall.
Mr. BALL. Where did you go then?
Mr. ROSE. There were some people in the office from the Book Depository and we talked to a few of them and then in just a few minutes they brought in Lee Oswald and I talked to him for a few minutes?
Mr. BALL. What did you say to him or did he say to you?
Mr. ROSE. Well, the first thing I asked him was what his name was and he told me it was Hidell.
Mr. BALL. Did he tell you it was Hidell?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; he did.
Mr. BALL. He didn't tell you it was Oswald?
Mr. ROSE. No; he didn't, not right then--he did later. In a minute--I found two cards--I found a card that said "A. Hidell." And I found another card that said "Lee Oswald" on it, and I asked him which of the two was his correct name. He wouldn't tell me at the time, he just said, "You find out." And then in just a few minutes Captain Fritz came in and he told me to get two men and go to Irving and search his house.
Mr. BALL. Now, when he first came in there--you said that he said his name was "Hidell"?
Mr. ROSE. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Was that before you saw the two cards?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; it was.
Mr. BALL. Did he give you his first name?
Mr. ROSE. He just said "Hidell"; I remember he just gave me the last name of "Hidell".
Mr. BALL. And then you found two or three cards on him?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; we did.
Mr. BALL. Did you search him?
Mr. ROSE. He had already been searched and someone had his billfold. I don't know whether it was the patrolman who brought him in that had it or not.
Mr. BALL. And the contents of the billfold supposedly were before you?
Mr. ROSE. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Were you sitting down?
Mr. ROSE. No; I was standing in the interrogation room.
Mr. BALL. Where was he--was he standing too?
Mr. ROSE. No; he was sitting in the chair.
Mr. BALL. Was he handcuffed?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; he was.
Mr. BALL. Were the handcuffs behind or in front of him?
Mr. ROSE. I believe they were behind him--I don't remember for sure.
Mr. BALL. Who else was present at that time?
Mr. ROSE. Detective Stovall, he was my partner, and I believe both uniformed men were present--two of the uniformed men were present.
Mr. BALL. The ones who brought him in?
Mr. ROSE. Yes.
Mr. BALL. Do you know their names?
Mr. ROSE. I don't remember--I did see McDonald and I did talk to him, but I don't remember whether he was the one that was standing right there at the time or not.
Mr. BALL. After you saw the cards, you asked him which one was his true name?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; I did.
Mr. BALL. What did he say?
Mr. ROSE. He said, "You find out."
Mr. BALL. Did you ask him what his address was?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; but from there, he wouldn't tell me--he just said, "You just find out."
Mr. BALL. Now, did anybody ever tell you that his address was 1026 North Beckley?
Mr. ROSE. Later they did--right then they didn't; no, sir.
Mr. BALL. You didn't know it at that time?
Mr. ROSE. No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. BALL. How soon after that did you go out to Irving--to the Irving Street address?
Mr. ROSE. In just a few minutes Captain Fritz came in and he instructed me to get two men and go to Irving to the Ruth Paine home and so I went immediately.
Mr. BALL. Did he tell you "the Ruth Paine home," or did he tell you to go to a certain address in Irving?
Mr. ROSE. I believe he gave me the address.
Mr. BALL. What was the address?
Mr. ROSE. 2515 West Fifth in Irving.
Mr. BALL. How many men went out there?
Mr. ROSE. There was me, and Detective Adamcik and Detective Stovall, and on the way, we radioed and asked for a county unit to meet us, and we were met by Detectives Harry Weatherford, E.W. Walthers, and J.L. Oxford, detectives for the county CID--we waited about 40 minutes and they came and met us.
Mr. BALL. Did you have a search warrant?
Mr. ROSE. No; we didn't.
Mr. BALL. How did you get in the house?
Mr. ROSE. We walked up to the house, me and Stovall and one of the county officers, and I could hear the TV was playing, and I could see the door was standing open--the front door was--and I could see two people sitting inside the living room on the couch, and just as soon as we walked up on the porch, Ruth Paine came to the door. She apparently recognized us--she said, "I've been expecting you all," and we identified ourselves, and she said, "Well, I've been expecting you to come out. Come right on in."
Mr. BALL. Did she say why she had been expecting you?
Mr. ROSE. She said, "Just as soon as I heard where the shooting happened. I knew there would be someone out."
Mr. BALL. You took part in the search, didn't you?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; I did.
Mr. BALL. What part did you take?
Mr. ROSE. Well, I was the senior detective that was there, and so I was sort of the spokesman for the group, I suppose, and Stovall wen into the bedroom of Marina Oswald--Marina Oswald's bedroom, and I don't remember where Adamcik went first, but I talked with Ruth Paine a few minutes and she told me that Marina was there and that she was Lee Oswald's wife and that she was a citizen of Russia, and so I called Captain Fritz on the phone and told him what I had found out there and asked him if there was any special instructions, and he said, "Well, ask her about her husband, ask her if her husband has a rifle." I turned and asked Marina, but she didn't seem to understand. She said she couldn't understand, so Ruth Paine spoke in Russian to her and Ruth Paine also interpreted for me, and she said that Marina said--first she said Marina said "No," and then a minute Marina said, "Yes, he does have." So, then I talked to Captain Fritz for a moment and hung up the phone and I asked Marina if she would show me where his rifle was and Ruth Paine interpreted and Marina pointed to the garage and she took me to the garage and she pointed to a blanket that was rolled up and laying on the floor near the wall of the garage and Ruth Paine said, "Says that that's where his rifle is." Well, at the time I couldn't tell whether there was one in there or not. It appeared to be--it was in sort of an outline of a rifle.
Mr. BALL. You mean the blanket had the outline of a rifle?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; it did.
Mr. BALL. Was it tied at one end?
Mr. ROSE. Yes, sir; it was sort of rolled up, but it was flattened out from laying down and tied near the middle, I would say, with a cord and so I went on and picked the blanket up, but it was empty--it didn't have the rifle in it.
Mr. BALL. You brought that in?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; I did.
Mr. BALL. What else did you see?
Mr. ROSE. I didn't make very much of a search of the garage at that time. I came back into the house and talked with Marina some more and talked with Ruth Paine some and was busy trying to make arrangements to get someone to come down and take care of Ruth Paine's children and Marina's children so I could bring them to the city hall and I did assist Stovall and Adamcik in this search, briefly--I didn't do too much.
Mr. BALL. Could I see the report there, please?
Mr. ROSE. Yes--I wrote that report shortly after the 24th--I believe it was around the 24th, but I don't remember for sure what date I wrote it. I wrote it from some notes that I had taken.
Mr. BALL. Now, after you were there for a little while, did Michael Paine come in?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; we had only been there a few minutes and we were in plain cars, so I don't know whether he knew we were there. He didn't appear to know we were there, and he walked up the sidewalk and just walked in the door without knocking, and I was standing just around the corner talking to Ruth Paine and she was standing in his view and he didn't see any of the officers--we were all out of sight at that time, and he walked in and he said, "I came to help you. Just as soon as I heard where it happened, I knew you would need some help." Then he apparently saw us and then he spoke to us.
Mr. BALL. Did Marina Oswald tell you--point to the blanket and say something?
Mr. ROSE. She pointed to the blanket and said something in Russian and Ruth Paine was standing right there beside her and she interpreted for me--she said, "That's where her husband's rifle is."
Mr. BALL. About that time, while you were there, did a Mrs. Linnie Randle come over to you?
Mr. ROSE. She might have come up to the yard and I didn't talk with her--I saw her out in the yard--I didn't talk to her.
Mr. BALL. You didn't talk to her at all?
Mr. ROSE. At that time I didn't--I did later.
Mr. BALL. You brought Ruth Paine and Marina down to the police department, did you?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; we took Ruth Paine and Marina and Marina's two children in our car and also the blanket--I carried it.
Mr. BALL. And the rest of that day you spent in inquiring for and looking around for Wesley Frazier?
Mr. ROSE. Well, we came on back to the city hall and we took Ruth Paine and Michael Paine and Marina Oswald to the homicide office, but it was so crowded that we transferred them to the forgery bureau office next door, and then someone came over and I believe it was the Detective Senkel, to take affidavits from them and I immediately started trying to locate Wesley Frazier. We were told that he would be at Parkland Hospital, but we checked through Parkland and there was no Fraziers there and I started a heck of the clinics and the doctors' offices in Irving, and I located through one of the nurses, I believe, or talked to someone on the phone there that Mr. Frazier was in the hospital there at Irving Clinic, so I called Detective McCabe in Irving and that Wesley was the one that had brought Lee Oswald to work that morning.
Mr. BALL. You took a statement from Frazier that day?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; we got Frazier and brought him in and took a written affidavit off of him.
Mr. BALL. And you also talked to Linnie Randle that night?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; I brought her in, too.
Mr. BALL. Did you talk to Lee Oswald any more during that day except the time you mentioned?
Mr. ROSE. No, sir; I didn't.
Mr. BALL. Were you present at any time that anyone questioned him?
Mr. ROSE. Not that day. I was the next day, on Saturday--I was present when Captain Fritz talked to him.
Mr. BALL. On Saturday morning you went out to Irving again?
Mr. ROSE. Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. BALL. At this time you had a search warrant?
Mr. ROSE. Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. BALL. What did you search on this day?
Mr. ROSE. We made a search of the garage, mainly, on this day since quite a bit of Lee Oswald's property was in the garage.
Mr. BALL. What did you find there?
Mr. ROSE. Well, I found two sea bags, three suitcases, and two cardboard boxes and all of them contained numerous items of property of Oswald.
Mr. BALL. Did you find some pictures?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; I found two negatives first that showed Lee Oswald holding a rifle in his hand, wearing a pistol at his hip, and right with those negatives I found a developed picture--I don't know what you call it, but anyway a picture that had been developed from the negative of him holding this rifle, and Detective McCabe was standing there and he found the other picture--of Oswald holding the rifle.
Mr. BALL. What color were the sea bags?
Mr. ROSE. I believe they were kind of an off white--I would call them--more of a greyish-white.
Mr. BALL. What about the suitcases?
Mr. ROSE. I don't remember the color of those suitcases. I know one of them was real worn.
Mr. BALL. But you brought that property back here into town, did you?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; we did.
Mr. BALL. Now, you say you sat in on the interrogation of Oswald later that day?
Mr. ROSE. Yes; we did.
Mr. BALL. Now, you say you sat in on the interrogation of Oswald later that day?
Mr. ROSE. On Saturday evening--that Saturday evening.
Mr. BALL. What time?
Mr. ROSE. I don't remember--it was late--it seemed like it was around 9 or 10 o'clock, I don't remember.
Mr. BALL. Who was present?
Mr. ROSE. Well, Captain Fritz, Detective Sims, and myself--I don't remember--there was an FBI agent and a Secret Service agent there, but I don't remember their names.
Mr. BALL. Do you remember what was said?
Mr. ROSE. Do I remember what was said?
Mr. BALL. That this took place in Captain Fritz' office?
Mr. ROSE. In Captain Fritz' office--yes. Well, the occasion was--I got back to the office and I took this small picture of Oswald holding the rifle, and left the rest of them with the Captain and I took one up to the I.D. bureau and had them to make me an enlargement of it, and they made an almost 8" by 10" enlargement of this picture and I brought it back to the captain and Oswald was brought in and the captain showed him this picture, and Oswald apparently got pretty upset when he saw the picture and at first he said, "Well, that's just a fake, because somebody has superimposed my face on that picture." Then, the captain said, "Well, is that you face on the picture?" And he said, "I won't even admit that. That is not even my face." I remember that part of it distinctly. I remember him volunteering some information about when he was in Russia.
Mr. BALL. What did he say?
Mr. ROSE. Well, he talked about how life was better for the colored people in Russia than it was in the United States. I don't remember--he just rambled on--he liked to talk about that, but he wouldn't talk about anything to do with the assassination or the killing of Tippit.

Published by Rixstep at Version Tracker.
You're right - all of you. It doesn't work! So don't use it.
What's happened here we don't know; we did not authorise a bump from 0.9 which worked to 1.0 which ostensibly does not work. We did not come here to Version Tracker and announce a new version. For that matter we did not write this application either - we sponsored it. As should be apparent for anyone who took the time to read the coverage at our website. It's not exactly a well kept secret.
Rixstep sponsored this app because the author who is 17 years old was not able to obtain a developers account here at Version Tracker.
Version 0.9 of Trimmit was tested extensively in the CLIX forum and performed admirably for everyone who reported there. It performed much better than Xslimmer and a histogram comparing Trimmit and Xslimmer was published at the Rixstep website. One tester at the forum ran it on his entire /Applications hive (against our recommendations) and recovered nearly 800 MB of disk space - with no hitches.
It seems that the author (lipidity.com) then made changes to the original 0.9 script and bumped the version to 1.0. No notice was given here at Version Tracker; we were aware of the work on a 'new improved script' but also saw there were issues and in no way approved bumping the version.
It's possible the 'tech tracker' crawler found this new version and updated the version information on this page - no one from Rixstep has updated any information here or been aware of any version bump. And we've written to Version Tracker about this anomaly but as yet received no reply. We're into our second day waiting for a reply from Version Tracker in this matter.
In the meantime - and possibly longer - we've taken down our link to this software. What happened was done beyond our control and without our approval - on two fronts. And we have ourselves tested this 'app' in its version 1.0 incarnation and attested it does not work - and in fact seems to be going from bad to worse. We recommend you do not use it even if you can find a link. It's not exactly going to do you any permanent harm; the EULA specifically says 'as is'; but it doesn't work and we see other issues that would have to be addressed before we put our stamp on it again - if ever. What's the real shame is that this thing did perform excellently once upon a time - when we reviewed the 0.9 release.
As for our friend Greg Slepak at kinostudios - use your judgement. Greg has a history of harassing us with bipolar rantings so yes, there's substantial evidence to question his mental health.
May the Force be with you etc. Trim your apps yourselves. It's not that hard - just use the mouse, a decent file manager, and the same techniques we've been using all along before we ship our own products.

FBI Arrests Wife of Orlando Killer
Posted on | January 16, 2017 | Comments Off on FBI Arrests Wife of Orlando Killer
Mike Arroyo of Fox News reports:
The FBI on Monday arrested the wife of the gunman in the Pulse Nightclub massacre on charges connected to the shooting rampage, investigators confirmed to Fox News.
The June 2016 shooting, seen as the deadliest in modern U.S. history, killed 49 people and wounded dozens more. Police shot and killed gunman Omar Mateen after a three-hour standoff, during which he pledged allegiance to the Islamic State terror group.
The charges against his wife, 30-year-old Noor Salman, included aiding and abetting his attempts to support ISIS, as well as obstruction of justice. . . .
In April 2016, Mateen and Salman took their 3-year-old son to Walt Disney World, but their behavior reportedly was alarming enough for Disney officials to have contacted the FBI to alert them that Mateen and Salman appeared to be scouting the theme park as a venue for a potential attack. . . .
During the attack that began around 2:00 a.m. on June 12, Mateen placed 16 calls, an FBI source told FoxNews.com, and communicated by SMS, a texting service.
At least three calls were to 911 and one was to a local news service, during which he pledged his allegiance to ISIS and expressed support for the Boston Marathon bombers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
He texted Salman during his shooting rampage, made posts to his Facebook account proclaiming his allegiance to ISIS and pledging more attacks, and according to an FBI source, used the social media platform Snapchat to communicate with at least one other person.
(Via Memeorandum.) There can be no doubt that the attack in Orlando was an act of Islamic terrorism. It was not, as feminist Amanda Marcotte tried to claim, a crime of "toxic masculinity," and yet Democrats tried to use the Orlando attack to demonize Christians and Republicans.

Aiden Bettine, History
Aiden Bettine spent two years working alongside others (including Grinnell College Visiting Assistant Professor AJ Lewis) to plan the LGBTQ Iowa Archives and Library, but he didn't expect a pandemic to provide the final push they needed to bring it to life. As COVID-19 spread in 2020, Aiden and his co-founders recognized that the queer community was in an especially precarious position due to many queer community members' roles as essential workers and LGBTQ folks' often fraught relationships with health institutions, among other factors. If ever there were a time to preserve intergenerational knowledge and queer Iowans' histories, it was now. If anyone would be in a position to identify the value of community archives, it would be Aiden. Read more . . .
Abylay Zhexembay, Actuarial Science
Abylay Zhexembay has been drawn to math since middle school, but actuarial science was nowhere on his radar. He first learned about the field as he left his hometown in Kazakhstan to pursue his bachelor's degree in the United States. While he had little exposure to actuarial science growing up, his experiences with the field in college have led him to study it on an advanced level in his program now at Iowa. Read more . . .
Ariana Shahnazi, Communication Studies
After someone is diagnosed with breast cancer, they can face countless hurdles to treat their disease. Even after treatment is complete, however, survivors are many times left with lasting and unexpected symptoms and changes to their bodies. Many breast cancer survivors experience debilitating fatigue, severe fear of cancer recurrence, depression, anxiety, and a now unfamiliar body, amongst other setbacks in the transition.
Recognizing these adversities, Ariana Shahnazi focused her dissertation on analyzing the various challenges survivors face and the types of support that can help them better cope with these challenges. Read more . . .
Alaine Reschke-Hernández, Music Therapy
People with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) face a range of issues related to changes in memory and thinking. These may limit their functionality in many other aspects of life. While there is no magic cure to reverse cognitive decline, one treatment option has the potential to facilitate social engagement and emotion regulation in these patients: music therapy.
Alaine Reschke-Hernández has been recognized with the Graduate College's 2020 D.C. Spriestersbach Dissertation Prize in the Social Sciences. She focused her time at Iowa on research establishing an effective model of music therapy for patients with ADRD. Read more. . .
Brett Bahle, Psychology
As the old saying goes, many people see the eyes as windows to the soul. One young scholar in psychology, however, views them as windows to the brain.
Dr. Brett Bahle's research examines how we focus our attention on objects within the visual field. The eyes are one of the primary ways we gather sensory information about the world – we move them about three times per second on average – so understanding the factors behind eye movements could provide more knowledge on sensory processing and attention.
"Some of the most important tasks that can be life or death in our society are actually visual search tasks," says Bahle. "You can think of radiologists looking for dangerous things like cancer in medical images – that's a visual search task. If we can better understand how people natively conduct visual search tasks and their visual search behavior in general, then we can use that information to better train them in catching mistakes."

Serena (Banu) Gumusoglu, Neuroscience
Research has shown that preeclampsia in mothers is correlated with increased risk for children to be born with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning deficits, and other cognitive dysfunctions.
While pursuing a doctoral degree at the University of Iowa, Serena (Banu) Gumusoglu and her lab colleagues hypothesized that developmental disorders could be traced to inflammation and dysfunction in pregnancy. They studied the embryonic brains of mice to gain a molecular understanding of what disrupts mechanisms in preeclampsia and other inflammatory exposures during pregnancy to result in developmental brain disorders and psychiatric conditions in offspring.
"I think it's really important to look at things during the prenatal period because it sets the stage for the rest of development," Gumusoglu says. "If you're able to interact with the developing child in a proactive way, you can prevent some of these long-term effects that are really costly both emotionally for families and financially for health systems."

Sonos Controller for iOS Gains Lock Screen Controls, 3D Touch Support
Today, Sonos has released a big update to its Controller app for iPhone and iPad that improves user experience.
Sonos Controller for iOS finally adds support for lock screen controls, in addition to embracing Apple's 3D Touch on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. With the new version of the Sonos Controller app for iOS released today, the company is bringing playback buttons to the surface with lock screen controls.
Start playback, then lock your iPhone, and when you next turn on the display you'll see album art for the current track, how far through it you are, controls to skip forward or back, play/pause, and a volume slider. A small legend tagged onto the album art shows which zone the music is playing in, and there's an icon to show what service it's streaming from, such as Spotify.
The company has also added support for Peek and Pop, Apple's pressure-sensitive features of 3D Touch, which allows you to control playback and jump into search directly from the Sonos icon on the home screen.
Sonos has also made improvements to streaming quality from Rhapsody and Napster.
Sonos Controller is available as a free download from the App Store. The app requires any device running iOS 7.0 or later and has been optimized for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.

This pretty pink Poinsettia is part of my 50 Watercolor Flowers Painting Project. I have always had a really hard time painting Poinsettias, this is the first one that turned out how I had hoped it would. This is painting number 4 of 50 in the series.
The trick is to leave enough light shining through while still achieving lots of deep color and contrast. Because most of the time the flowers and leaves on Poinsettias are very matte looking and do not have any shine to them. It is natural to want to place the paint solidly all over each petal but then you loose the light and dimension.
I suggest making a quick pencil sketch before starting your painting and marking each petal with D's for dark and L's for light, this way as you paint you can keep track of where you want your darkest and lightest areas to be. Your mid-tones will be created by the natural spreading and blending of the watercolor wet-on-wet washes.
Above: You can see that in this case I made a very pale pink wash to go all over most of the petals before I added the wet-on-wet wash to the petals. This is because there was some light varigation on the reference photo I was using and looking carefully I could see it was actually a really light pink and not fully white.
Above: This picture above shows the painting with all of Step 1 completed which is the wet-on-wet washes. I use a 3-Step approach to most of my botanical paintings to make things systematic, it also creates a very consistent style. I hope to create a little guide that goes over my 3-Step painting apprach soon to share with you!
Check out my 50 Watercolor Flowers Painting Project post to see a list of the 50 flowers I will be painting and posting about for this project. As I complete each painting I make a blog post about it and link it in this main post.

CPR in children older than 12 months
What is CPR?
CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This is the lifesaving measure you can take to save someone who shows no signs of life (consciousness or effective breathing).
CPR uses chest compressions and "rescue" breaths to make oxygen-rich blood circulate through the brain and other vital organs until emergency medical personnel arrive. Keeping oxygenated blood circulating helps prevent brain damage – which can occur within a few minutes – and death.
CPR isn't hard to do. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Check the child's condition.
Is the child conscious? Tap on the child's shoulder and call out. If she doesn't respond, have someone call the local emergency number. (If you're alone with the child, give two minutes of care as described below, then call emergency yourself.)
Swiftly but gently place the child on her back on a firm, flat surface.
Make sure she isn't bleeding severely. If she is, take measures to stop the bleeding by applying pressure to the area. Don't administer CPR until the bleeding is under control.
Step 2: Open the child's airway.
Tilt the child's head back with one hand and lift his chin slightly with the other. This will open his airway.
Check for signs of breathing for no more than ten seconds.
To check his breathing, put your head down next to his mouth, looking toward his feet. Look to see whether his chest is rising, and listen for breathing sounds. If he's breathing, you should be able to feel his breath on your cheek.
Step 3: Give two "rescue" breaths.
If the child isn't breathing, give her two breaths, each lasting just one second. Pinch the child's nose shut, place your mouth over hers, and exhale into her lungs until you see her chest rise.
If her chest doesn't rise, her airway is blocked. Give her first aid for choking, described above.
If the breaths go in, give the child two rescue breaths in a row, pausing between breaths to let the air flow back out.
Step 4: Do 30 chest compressions.
Kneel beside the child's upper chest. Place the heel of one of your hands on the child's sternum (breastbone) at the center of her chest. Place your other hand directly on top of the first hand. Try to keep your fingers off her chest by interlacing them or holding them upward.
To do a chest compression, push the child's sternum down about 2 inches. Allow the chest to return to its normal position before starting the next compression.
Do 30 chest compressions at the rate of 100 per minute. Count out loud: "One and two and three and...," pushing down as you say the number and coming up as you say "and." (The song Stayin' Aliveis the right rate!)
When you complete 30 compressions, give the child two rescue breaths (step 3, above). (Each cycle of chest compressions and rescue breaths should take about 24 seconds.)
Step 5: Repeat compressions and breaths.
Repeat the sequence of 30 chest compressions and two breaths. If you're alone with the child, call emergency or the local emergency number after two minutes of care.
Continue the sequence of chest compressions and rescue breaths until help arrives, you find an obvious sign of life, an AED (automated external defibrillator) is ready to use, the scene becomes unsafe, or you are too exhausted to continue.
Even if the child seems fine by the time help arrives, a doctor will need to check her to make sure that her airway is completely clear and she hasn't sustained any internal injuries.

By Maybelle Morgan, 25 August 2017
Trends come and go, but the white shirt is your style staple that will stay loyal long after the leopard-print tabard has had its day. This season, the classic form has gotten a new lease of life, bringing the heat to your wardrobe in four souped-up versions. See how to wear them here…
Bare essentials
Off-the-shoulder fun has been on the agenda for a few seasons now and there's nothing like some peekaboo detailing to bring the cheeky to a tailored classic. Play with silhouettes and match the cropped shirt with sweeping high-waisted denim flares. Elevate with chunky platforms and show off bare shoulders with some gold bling.
The shirt dress has also had a super-dramatic evolution and, yep, we dig it. Renaissance-style ruffled detailing, a midi length and a drop-waist hem get the thumbs up. Dark circle shades and slogan sliders give the dress a low-key, cool monochrome look.
Arm candy
The charm's all in the arm, don't ya know? In this case, oversized silhouettes make for the perfect mini dress and 2017's obsession with the 80s gets a nod in the form of some extra-puffed balloon sleeves. Complement the extra shape with chunky platform trainers, plus a quilted metallic mini-bag.
That whole dresses-over-trousers trend gets a shout-out here, but opt for a longline waterfall hem shirt over a pair of raw-edge jeans for a cooler Scandi substitute. Choose super-technical, white sandals and XXL graphic earrings for the dreamiest end-of-summer outfit.

Orioles' Roberts – Nice Guys Bat Last
It is reputed that baseball legend Leo Durocher is the originator of the famous adage that "nice guys finish last." Factual substantiation of that claim yields results about as diminutive as the former Cubs manager. And hey, look no further than the 2012 Orioles to see that the statement is not a timeless truth.
But, do nice guys bat last? Well, for the 2013 Orioles, the answer is "yes." It has been announced that Brian Roberts will hold down the number nine spot in the order for the foreseeable future. In a clubhouse of likeable personalities, Roberts may be the prize nice guy of them all. And beyond that, no less than this writer believes he will appropriately occupy and excel in the nine hole!
Feb 22, 2013; Sarasota, FL, USA; Baltimore Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts (1) at the Orioles clubhouse. Mandatory Credit: Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports
Before we analyze that, let's pause for a second to simply reflect upon this moment in time where Brian Roberts is back with the team in what certainly appears to be full health. What were the odds of this? Well, not impossible, but neither were they certain – probably better than "that one in a million talk" … to quote the famous film Dumb and Dumber. I am not shocked, but I would not have actually anticipated Roberts having this very fine spring – playing frequently, while posting a .310 batting average. The man deserves all the credit in the world for his hard work that has brought him to this place.
Over the years, Roberts has been the prototypical leadoff hitter – working pitchers, getting on base, stealing, and in a whole variety of ways setting the table for those coming behind him. There remains an active fan club of Roberts-as-leadoff enthusiasts. These are people who will state the points above, and who see Nick Markakis as having less speed and a bigger bat. But it is difficult to argue against Nick's success as a leadoff hitter, and it is where I have long believed he best contributes for this lineup.
As it stands, speculation (as listed on 3/28 on the Orioles mlb.com site) is that the top four in the lineup will be Markakis, Nolan Reimold, Adam Jones, and Matt Wieters. I sure hope this is true, as that looks formidable to me. It is a fact that the leadoff batter is actually only the leadoff hitter for sure just once in a game. And so, for those who believe Roberts should leadoff and Markakis hit second, you will actually have this happen about 75-80% of the time as the lineup turns over throughout the game. This is a significant point, as the number nine hitter is critical in turning over the lineup to get the top of the order back at the plate with people on base. This is HUGE for any team.
MASN writer Steve Melewski wrote briefly on this subject Saturday morning. Steve's columns are often filled with unique statistics seldom reported in other places. He pointed out that the AL batting average for ninth place batters is .232 with an on-base-percentage of .294. Even a sub-par Brian Roberts should be able to blow away those numbers, and that is a HUGE advantage. Yes, logically, if the seventh and eighth hitters are totally dreadful, then this advantage is largely negated, though I do not think that will be the situation with Orioles – not with people like Hardy, McClouth, and Machado in those spots.
So where do you readers fall out on this? Roberts? Markakis? McClouth? Reimold?
