Year Inducted: 1989 (BBWAA, ballot #1, 423/447)
Score: 44002
Life isn't always fair, is it? If a player is a right fielder in New York, no matter how great he is there is always the shadow of Babe Ruth hanging over his head. The same could be said of whoever is the catcher in Cincinnati, or the shortstop in Pittsburgh (which it was, unfortunately for Arky Vaughan). The same is true of whoever plays in left field for the Red Sox. Whoever plays there knows that, not only can they never be the best left fielder in Sox history, he can never be the best player in Sox history either, as Ted Williams has that title pretty much for eternity. Yet, when Carl Yastrzemski replaced Williams following Ted's retirement, little could the Red Sox know that they wouldn't miss a beat with him in the outfield.
Yaz played his entire 23-year career with the Bosox, mostly patrolling left field but also playing his fair share of first base towards the end of his career when another future Hall of Famer in Jim Rice came onto the scene. Yaz slashed an impressive .285/.379/.462 with a wRC+ of 130. Every single one of Yaz's 3419 hits came for the Red Sox, a club record. Yaz was a left-handed hitter, but still made great use of Fenway's cozy left field dimensions to collect 646 doubles, 59 triples and 452 home runs. Yaz was almost instantaneously one of, if not the best, hitters in the American League, winning three batting titles and a Triple Crown over the course of his career. A great run producer, Yastrzemski knocked in and scored over 1800 runs in his long career.
While he wasn't a great baserunner (and many big players aren't), he was one of the hardest working players in professional baseball. Yaz was constantly working on improving his game in any facet he thought he was lacking in, and as such became a brilliant outfielder. Yaz was worth 185 fielding runs in his career, including a strong positive amount from when he transitioned to first base (and worked hard to make himself great there).
A great anecdote to underscore how hard Yaz worked occured in 1967. When Yaz won the Triple Crown in 1967, it was the summer of the "Impossible Dream" for the Red Sox. In addition to Yastrzemski's exploits, the Sox had a surprising contribution from Jim Lonborg who would lead the AL in wins and strikeouts. Buoyed also by the early exploits of Tony Conigliaro (and yes, that was the year Conigliaro got hurt) and an excellent bullpen, the Sox took the AL Pennant and faced off against Bob Gibson in the World Series. After dropping the first game 2-1, Yaz was taking a lot of BP after the game. Tim McCarver, the Cardinals' catcher, thought that he was going overboard. After 162 games, he still needed extra batting practice? The next night Boston evened up the series with a 5-0 shutout keyed by two Yastrzemski home runs. Boston may not have won that series, but it wasn't due to Yaz. He had an OPS over 1.300 in the series with three homers and five RBI.
Yaz's work ethic helped him play in over 3000 games in 23 seasons. Because of this, some of his numbers may seem like they are the production of a compiler, but Yaz was worth at least 2 fWAR in all but five seasons, with most years being above 4 (and an 11 spot in 1967). Yaz finished his career with the 17th most homers and the sixth most hits of all-time. His 94.8 fWAR ranked him 19th all-time, with all the players ahead of him either hitting for slightly more power or playing a more demanding position on the diamond. Yaz may not be the best Red Sox player ever, but he certainly was one of the best to ever step onto the diamond.
Stay tuned for the next updates.

Bill Belichick contrasts his first camp in 2000 to current edition
Credit: Matt Stone
Credit: Herald file photo
FOXBORO — The Patriots return to practice today with an eye toward their first preseason game a week from Thursday against Jacksonville. That means things are going to get a lot more serious in the days to come.
"It is challenging but it is going to get a lot harder than this in practice this week," said Patriots coach Bill Belichick during his morning press briefing in the media room at Gillette Stadium. "This is a big week for us here and we have five practices before Jacksonville. We have a lot of work to do with third down and down-and-distance on the field situation, and kicking game and so forth.
"We need to have a real productive week. Got some fundamentals started last week and I feel like we are ready to dig into it this week here and get after it. That's what we need to do. We'll go out and get a good start today and string it together."
Belichick contrasted the Patriots' current state of affairs to his first training camp in 2000. The subject came to light when former Patriots long snapper Lonnie Paxton joined the press conference. Paxton played from 2000-2008 and was the long snapper on Adam Vinatieri's game-winning kicks against the Oakland Raiders in the AFC Playoffs and the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI.
"Well, I mean, I'd say first of all, the biggest difference is in 2000, a quarter of the team couldn't pass the conditioning run, so that wasn't a very good start," Belichick said. "We don't really deal with that now or haven't dealt with that in a while. Yeah, I don't think there was a lot of commitment with that group. We obviously made a lot of changes from 2000 to 2001, and a lot of the guys that we stuck with from that team became pillars of the program, the organization in later years. That was a pretty slow start. I mean, it wasn't a very good football team on a lot of levels. So, we've moved past that hopefully."
Fast forward 17 years and Belichick's operation is to a point where the coach can focus on the types of areas that signify a winning program. As the Patriots enter the second week of camp, Belichick talked about what's on tap moving forward.
"Go back and look at the first week of camp and talk about all those things — the operation, what we got done, if there was anything we were behind in or maybe even a little bit ahead on, kind of how it's going — and then talk about the plans for the next five days, big picture, and more specifically, today's practice and the immediate challenges," Belichick said. "Start to get into things like working players at different positions. We're getting into our sub third-down packages, so it's different personnel groups, so how we want to work the rotations on those, that type of thing. And then at some point, we'll change those up and change the rotation.
"So where we're going to start, and then at some point, what's the next step to give ourselves depth and cross-train some players. So, things like that, look at our overall workloads, what we're doing and how much it is relative to other years and where that needs to go, things like that. I mean, that was after eighteen (holes), a couple hands of gin and a little time on the beach."

Nobody likes to hear the truth
If it somehow makes you feel
Discomfort, unsettled, troubled
Is that really so bad?
Let me tell you something about truth. No one can convince you of the truth of anything without sufficient proof, especially for things that are part of the unseen world unless you can reveal the truth of it and seal it with the fulfillment of what's written before it happens. Thus I have written much for all to see and witness happen, in many different places, through different faces, and in many different times. This time however, what I have written must happen, must happen for your sakes, so that you believe, and so many will fulfill the prophecy of the sign of Jonah. Just as in the time of Jesus Christ, the fulfillment of the old prophecies by Christ is at hand, also the new prophecies by the same Christ through many living prophets today is at hand. Blessed are those who believe and are in Christ before such signs occur. Peace be upon you all. Amen.

I was going through the tags of my blog trying to find this recipe because I could have sworn I'd posted it on here, but it wasn't under "fish" nor was it under "sandwiches" so I must not have made it since my blog's been going. I could have SWORN I had because I remember buying three packages of catfish at the store, one plain and two Cajun seasoned. No, I know I've made this because the recipe calls for broccoli slaw, and I actually used it last time I made it whereas I normally use regular cole slaw mix.
Found it. It's like the one entry that didn't have any tags! At least I know I'm not going crazy! Much easier if I can copy the recipe from a previous blog entry instead of having to find it online. This was originally from Cooking Light.
Catfish Po'Boys
2 tablespoons fat-free milk
1 pound catfish fillets, cut into 2 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (such as McCormick)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fat-free sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Dash of crushed red pepper
2 cups bagged broccoli coleslaw
4 (2 1/2-ounce) hoagie rolls with sesame seeds, toasted
Combine milk and catfish in a large bowl, tossing gently to coat. Remove fish from bowl; shake off excess milk. Sprinkle fish with salt. Combine cornmeal and Cajun seasoning in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add fish to bag. Seal and shake to coat.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish; cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
While fish cooks, combine vinegar and next 4 ingredients (vinegar through pepper) in a medium bowl. Add broccoli coleslaw; toss well to coat. Spoon 1/2 cup slaw mixture onto bottom half of each roll. Arrange fish evenly over each serving, and top with top halves of rolls.
The husband got really excited when I told him this is what we were having. I knew he'd like it, and today was his first day at a new job, so I wanted something he'd enjoy. What can I say, I'm a good wife. :)
Like I said above, I use regular cole slaw mix, not broccoli slaw. I tried it once with the broccoli and didn't like it. I've also used a baguette for the roll instead of sandwich rolls, but I kind of forgot that when I was at the grocery store this morning.
Now to make sure I tag this one...

ZENIT News Agency, The World Seen from Rome
Holy See: No Official Line on Turkey in European Union
Says Vatican Secretary for Relations with States
VATICAN CITY, NOV. 26, 2006 (Zenit.org).- The Holy See has no official position on Turkey's entry to the European Union, says the Vatican's secretary for relations with states.
Archbishop Dominique Mamberti today said he believes that the Benedict XVI's visit to that country will show Muslims the esteem he feels for them.
In response to a question by a journalist in the Catholic newspaper Avvenire, Archbishop Mamberti clarified that "the Holy See has not expressed an 'official' position on this question."
"Obviously, it follows the question with great interest and sees that the debate which has been taking place for some time and the positions for and against Turkey's admission to the European Union manifest that what is at stake is very important," said the 54-year-old Vatican official.
"Of course the Holy See believes that, in case of adherence, the country must respond to all the political criteria established by the Copenhagen Summit of December 2002," he added.
With specific reference to religious liberty, the prelate specified that Ankara must respect the conditions established by the decision of the Council of Europe, on Jan. 23, 2006, on the principles, priorities and conditions contained in the Accession Partnership with Turkey.
'04 interview
Before he became Pope, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger gave an interview to Le Figaro magazine on Aug. 13, 2004, in which he gave his personal views on this issue. He said that, historically, Turkey has never been part of Europe.
"Turkey," said Cardinal Ratzinger, "which considers itself a secular state, but with the foundation of Islam, might try to put into practice a cultural continent with neighboring Arab countries and thus become protagonist of a culture, with its own identity, but in communion with the great humanist values which we should all recognize."
"This idea, is not opposed to forms of partnership and close and friendly collaboration with Europe and allows for the emergence of a united force that would oppose every form of fundamentalism," the cardinal suggested at the time.
Archbishop Mamberti acknowledged that, in the wake of Muslim criticism of the Pope's Sept. 12 address in Regensburg, the Holy Father on this trip will show his esteem for Muslims, his desire for dialogue, and "the possibility of collaboration at the service of man and his cause, surmounting incomprehension and misunderstandings."

Three motorcycle police officers were on assignment at this intersection. They seemed to "take turns" enforcing traffic laws. I did see them stop a couple of cars that ran the light. But they did absolutely nothing about the repetedly blocked crosswalk, which posed a hazard especially to individuals with mobility disabilities. It is the City's responsibility to insure people have safe access. The police must be given all the "books" they need to enforce the many and various violations!

If I were Sam I would still pick that thing that Sam had picked. why? Well, because Sam had mention something that is really truly true and I respect that. I like that fact that Sam would just tell the president what she likes about the painting and I think she's right. I think that the project is important somehow because it shows people around the world what they see every day out of their window. I think that it also show that the world is not as perfect as it is like the way other people says it. The painting that Sam pick was a great painting because the painter did really draw what she saw not what she want her world would look like. Everybody should know that the draw comes from what you see not from what you know.ReplyDelete
For me I would pick the painting thing because of course Sam likes Art and Painting so I think that she would enjoy judging the paintings because she knows what painting should look like and how it should be made. For me I would go for the project that Sam would pick because I enjoy art to but I'm not good at it so I would totally pick it, I think that the project Sam had chose is as important as the president because the painting shows what the real world looks like outside my window. I want to let the people know that the painting I have painted is the kind of picture I see outside my window every day.ReplyDelete
Samantha and her family wnt to the White House for concert they had and which also had art contest that will be represented the United States of winner's painting. The president of United States asked Sam to choose which painting is the best among the others in her thought and she chose one of them that the president disagreed with her. Sam had conflicts with the president in front of a lot of people and David took her to somewhere. Samantha really compared Jack and David in different ways and David got mad about it.ReplyDelete

Hibiscus & Ancho Chile sauce – I nearly made a mistake with this sauce. I was about to grill up some shrimp and then serve the sauce as a dipping sauce for them. While this would have been adequate, after tasting the product I decided this wouldn't have been a great pairing. This sauce begs for spare ribs. Slow cooked, either beef or pork, this sauce would be perfect (most likely better with the pork). Imagine having a sweet sauce that initially greets the tongue with sweet hibiscus flavor, only to follow through with a long finish of ancho chile. that dark, smokey and slightly spicey flavor just begs for the slightly nutty flavor of slow cooked pork, or the tender heartiness of well cooked beef ribs. While I don't have any on hand to cook and show you all (I apologize in advance for this) I look forward to a time in a few weeks when I do have this available to make for myself! This sauce would also be great as an addition to a burger, or perhaps a heartier broiled fish, like salmon or potentially even something as strongly flavored as bluefish.ReplyDelete

The Chief, Arbiter and Guilty Spark discover that the Ark is constructing a Halo to replace the one that the Chief previously destroyed. The Chief decides to activate this Halo; the ringworld would eliminate the Flood infestation on the Ark while sparing the galaxy at large from destruction. To activate the ring, the Chief rescues Cortana, who has the Activation Index of the destroyed Halo, from High Charity and destroys the city. Arriving on the new Halo, Cortana warns that Gravemind is trying to rebuild itself on the ring. The Chief, Arbiter, and Johnson travel to Halo's control room to activate the ring. Guilty Spark explains that because the ring is not yet complete, a premature activation will destroy it and the Ark. When Johnson ignores his warning, Guilty Spark kills him to protect "his" ring. The Chief and Arbiter destroy Guilty Spark, activate the ring, and escape the ring's self-destruction on the UNSC frigate Forward Unto Dawn. However, the force of Halo's blast causes the slipspace portal to collapse, resulting in only the front half of Forward Unto Dawn, carrying the Arbiter, making it back to Earth.ReplyDelete

Advertising Age reported that movie studio executives were convinced the release of Halo 3 harmed box office receipts; the week's take was 27% less than the previous year's yield.[81] While some executives decided the disparity in estimated and actual gross for films like The Heartbreak Kid was due more to the film's poor reception, other analysts believed that "the audience on [Halo 3] is the 18-to-34 demographic, similar to what you'd see in cinemas" and that this led to a decrease in receipts.[82] Later research suggested that the Halo 3 players still watched the same amount of television and movies, regardless of the time they spent playing the game.[83]ReplyDelete

A tree is a perennial woody plant. It is most often defined as a woody plant that has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground on a single main stem or trunk with clear apical dominance.[1] A minimum height specification at maturity is cited by some authors, varying from 3 m[2] to 6 m;[3] some authors set a minimum of 10 cm trunk diameter (30 cm girth).[4]ReplyDelete

Woody plants that do not meet these definitions by having multiple stems and/or small size are usually called shrubs, although many trees such as mallee do not meet such definitions. Compared with most other plants, trees are long-lived, some reaching several thousand years old and growing to up to 115 m (379 ft) high.[5]ReplyDelete

A small group of trees growing together is called a grove or copse, and a landscape covered by a dense growth of trees is called a forest. Several biotopes are defined largely by the trees that inhabit them; examples are rainforest and taiga (see ecozones). A landscape of trees scattered or spaced across grassland (usually grazed or burned over periodically) is called a savanna. A forest of great age is called old growth forest or ancient woodland (in the UK). A young tree is called a sapling.

As an exogenous tree grows, it creates growth rings as new wood is laid down concentrically over the old wood. In species growing in areas with seasonal climate changes, wood growth produced at different times of the year may be visible as alternating light and dark, or soft and hard, rings of wood.[3] In temperate climates, and tropical climates with a single wet-dry season alternation, the growth rings are annual, each pair of light and dark rings being one year of growth; these are known as annual rings. In areas with two wet and dry seasons each year, there may be two pairs of light and dark rings each year; and in some (mainly semi-desert regions with irregular rainfall), there may be a new growth ring with each rainfall.[9] In tropical rainforest regions, with constant year-roundReplyDelete

This is cited as dbh (diameter at breast height) in tree and forestry literature.[3][18] Breast height is defined differently in different situations, with most forestry measurements taking girth at 1.3 m above ground,[18] while those who measure ornamental trees usually measure at 1.5 m above ground;[3] in most cases this makes little difference to the measured girth.

One further problem with measuring baobabs Adansonia is that these trees store large amounts of water in the very soft wood in their trunks. This leads to marked variation in their girth over the year (though not more than about 2.5%[20]), swelling to a maximum at the end of the rainy season, minimum at the end of the dry season.

Modern trends are to cite the tree's diameter rather thanthe circumference. Diameter of the tree is calculated by finding the medium diameter of the trunk, in most cases obtained by dividing the measured circumference by π; this assumes the trunk is mostly circular in cross-section (an oval or irregular cross-section would result in a mean diameter slightly greater than the assumed circle).

The oldest trees are determined by growth rings, which can be seen if the tree is cut down, or in cores taken from the bark to the center of the tree. Accurate determination is only possible for trees that produce growth rings, generally those in seasonal climates. Trees in uniform non-seasonal tropical climates grow continuously and do not have distinct growth rings. It is also only possible for trees that are solid to the center.cursos de inglés en MadridReplyDelete

Assessment as to labeling a tree a hazard tree can be based on a field examination. Assessment as a result of construction activities that will damage a tree is based on three factors: severity, extent and duration. Severity relates usually to the degree of intrusion into the TPZ and resultant root loss. Extent is frequently a percentage of a factor such as canopy, roots or bark, and duration is normally based on time. Root severing is considered permanent in time.ReplyDelete

A common misconception is that the oceans are blue primarily because the sky is blue. In fact, water has a very slight blue color that can only be seen in large volumes. While the sky's reflection does contribute to the blue appearance of the surface, it is not the primary cause.[12][dubious – discuss] The primary cause is the absorption by the water molecules of red photons from the incoming light, the only known example of color in nature resulting from vibrational, rather than electronic, dynamics.[13]budget hotel malaysiaReplyDelete

Ocean currents greatly affect the Earth's climate by transferring heat from the tropics to the polar regions, and transferring warm or cold air and precipitation to coastal regions, where winds may carry them inland. Surface heat and freshwater fluxes create global density gradients that drive the thermohaline circulation part of large-scale ocean circulation. It plays an important role in supplying heat to the polar regions, and thus in sea ice regulation. Changes in the thermohaline circulation are thought to have significant impacts on the Earth's radiation budget. Insofar as the thermohaline circulation governs the rate at which deep waters reach the surface, it may also significantly influence atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.ReplyDelete

Cassini's more recent fly-by of Titan offers radar images that strongly suggest hydrocarbon lakes near the colder polar regions.

The Venusian surface was a subject of speculation until some of its secrets were revealed by planetary science in the twentieth century. It was finally mapped in detail by Project Magellan in 1990–91. The ground shows evidence of extensive volcanism, and the sulfur in the atmosphere may indicate that there have been some recent eruptions.[17][18]
About 80% of the Venusian surface is covered by smooth volcanic plains, consisting of 70% plains with wrinkle ridges and 10% smooth or lobate plains.[19] Two highland "continents" make up the rest of its surface area, one lying in the planet's northern hemisphere and the other just south of the equator.
Among these are flat-topped volcanic features called farra, which look somewhat like pancakes and range in size from 20–50 km across, and 100–1,000 m high; radial, star-like fracture systems called novae; features with both radial and concentric fractures resembling spider webs, known as arachnoids; and coronae, circular rings of fractures sometimes surrounded by a depression. These features are volcanic in origin.ReplyDelete

Water is a chemical substance with the chemical formula H2O. A water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at ambient conditions, but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state, ice, and gaseous state (water vapor or steam). Water also exists in a liquid crystal state near hydrophilic surfaces.[1][2] Under nomenclature used to name chemical compounds, Dihydrogen monoxide is the scientific name for water, though it is almost never used.[3]remote control helicopters online storeReplyDelete

The word "magic" is used to translate the Egyptian term heka, which meant, as James P.

The state security police (the KGB and its predecessor agencies) played an important role in Soviet politics. It was instrumental in the Stalinist terror,[44] but after the death of Stalin, the state security police was brought under strict party control. Under Yuri Andropov, KGB chairman in 1967–1982 and General Secretary from 1982 to 1983, the KGB engaged in the suppression of political dissent and maintained an extensive network of informers, reasserting itself as a political actor to some extent independent of the party-state structure,[45] culminating in the anti-corruption campaign targeting high party officials in the late 1970s and early 1980s.ReplyDelete

I think back to the years of the Suffrage and Equality movements in the United States and other western nations and I am continually surprised at how, in comparison, calm it actually turned out. Yes, there were protests, preachers, reverends and other notable men of the period spoke out against women, tried to prove through bizarre scientific logic or scriptures or under the guise of protecting women from other men and themselves that women could not be equal. I say "in comparison" as in comparison to the movements of women in many Islamic nations.
This article may require registration, but it was an excellent read: Women's Work.
This article should help you understand in many ways what we are up against in the reformation of the Middle East and, hopefully someday, the removal of anti-liberal, violent ideas of the Islamists. Even in a country that has had three years to move towards democracy, it is still a very difficult path because we are not just overcoming a government or system of laws, but an entire way of living that is based on the medieval concepts of honor.
In this system, women are chattel. There are no other words for it. They are owned, controlled and bartered. They're still nameless and faceless. What these women are up against is the equivalent of Joan of Arc trying to lead forces in the service of the Dauphin in the 15th century and, when she has outlived her usefullness or caused such a stir among the "traditionalist" men that she was betrayed into the hands of the enemy who then found her guilty of "heresy" because she dared to say that she had a personal relationship with God, because she wore men's clothing, because she did a man's work. For these "crimes" she was burned at the stake.
In reality, what women face in Afghanistan and all over the Islamic world is tantamount to Susan B. Anthony showing up in the French court along with Joan of Arc, wearing a pair of pants, demanding that the peasants be given the right to vote and that she be allowed to run for the position of king. I'm quite certain she would have been imprisoned as insane or burned at the stake even sooner than Joan. That is what the women of Afghanistan face, even in the "modern" Afghanistan where democracy is now en vogue.
The problem starts, of course, with failed states. In failed states where the government cannot enforce laws and the economy is so disasterous, people automatically revert back to the systems that held them together and allowed them to survive for centuries. This is typically a form of tribal fuedalism. Look at any country that is teetering on the edge or has made the complete plunge and you will see that tribal fuedalism with all it's intended compulsions where men are needed to secure the existense of the immediate tribe so the birth of a boy is celebrated above a girl, where affiliation through marriages become a contract of fialty and marrying women young and "pure" becomes a matter of, not just honor, but the survival of the tribe which is bound up in the notions of purity, virginity and honor to ensure the bloodlines of the young.
This is an Islamic state. This is Afghanistan. Aside from democratic principles, a whole new idea of a "social contract" and must be able to see that survival is not endangered by other liberal ideas of equality.
I've long thought that the difference between Western culture and Middle Eastern culture was the outgrowth of the value of women based on ideas of chivalry. Not that medieval Western culture did not have it's problems with treating women as souless Eve's ready to lead men astray and only worth their value as virgins and child bearers with a dowry, even as chivalric love was being advanced, but the idea that they should be protected and were weaker played into the notion of knightly honor meant a strong man would not stoop so low as to beat a weaker person, much less a woman.
Not that beatings didn't happen. I simply mean that the idea, the concept, eventually became more than just an idea, but had been repeated often enough that it became a part of the social structure that eventually led to the ability of women to confront inequality in public without fear of being hung or stoned in the public square for losing an imaginary honor. For sure, our ancestresses got a lot of flak and were called whores among other things, but I believe that the protection of law and the advancement of the social contract helped protect them.
Possibly other contributors were women during the pioneer period literally became their husband and father's helpmates in a struggle for survival where your nearest neighbor was a day's ride and any other help might have been further. In some respects, this may have leant to a change in men's attitudes considering the need to cooperate between the sexes to survive harsh winters on a prairie or long treks across a nation where the next bend in the road could take you face to face with hostile forces.
Maybe it was the "age of reason" where the idea of a capable man changed from simply brute strength to a man that used his mind? Maybe this was only possible through advancement of machines, scientific theory and the dessimination of printed books and pamphlets which allowed more leisure time, more time to learn and more time to associate?
Maybe because strong women continued to stand up and say that they were worth something? Because they proved that they could think "like a man"? Because women like Queen Elizabeth I or Czarina Catherine pushed men out of the way and actually ruled entire empires? There must be something said for women with power who can have your head cut off at their leisure that makes a man ever slowly change his mind about the ability of women.
I can't say exactly what thing or what mix of things, if not all of them, eventually led to women being able to campaign for equal treatment without fearing for their lives? Not that even today can a woman campaign against foul treatment by men without men accusing her of being unfeminine or something worse, but there is a unique difference since we do not have to fear public stonings or (largely) being assassinated for our views.
Whatever these things are, it has not developed the same in Middle Eastern and East Asian countries. After brief spurts of social growth and women's rights in these nations, as soon as they became failed states, every inch of advancement was quickly gone and tribal fuedalism was quickly re-instated.
Leaving that will be a long road.
Please read this article. I hope that you find it as interesting and informing about the social structure we are trying to build democracy in and inspires you to support these women even more because, in many ways, they exhibit a bravery beyond the ken of men.

What does your checkbook say about you? Chances are that if you are reading this book you believe that you are a Christian who has given his/her heart totally to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Probably everyone can easily pass that spoken test because it is simply a question of what do you say about your relationship with Christ. I pray that each of us passes that spoken test every day, but have you ever put your level of commitment to the checkbook test? It is a very simple and easy to complete test that will instantly tell you how devoted you are to the cause of Jesus Christ. All you have to do is open up you checkbook and write down on a separate piece of paper the amount of your weekly contribution to the work of the Lord's Church. The test is now over. To grade yourself look at that number which you wrote down on the piece of paper and compare it to the amounts you spend on other things in your life on a weekly basis. Whatever that number is gives you a prime indicator of how devoted you are to Jesus Christ and His Church. This simple checkbook test is what Jesus told his followers about in Matthew 6:19-21 when he said, "Do not lay up for yourselves treasure upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do no break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." You are as committed to Christ as your checkbook says you are.
What would you think about a man who proclaimed an undying love for his wife and children, but when he got paid he spent all his money on a boat for himself instead of buying clothes for his wife and shoes for his children? You might think a lot of things, but one of them would be that he didn't really love his family. His checkbook simply would not support his claim. When Paul wrote to the Corinthians to encourage liberal giving for the contribution in 2 Corinthians 8 he said in verse 8, "I am not speaking this as a command, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity of your love also." (Emphasis mine, W.H.) To paraphrase, Paul told them that he knew they proclaimed to love the Lord, so he was giving them an opportunity to prove their love by putting their money where their mouth was. Every time that collection plate is passed on the first day of the week we each have an opportunity to prove the sincerity of our love by putting our money where our mouths are.
When my wife and I were dating I didn't have a lot of money, but what I did have I spent mostly on her. I bought flowers, clothes, meals, movie tickets, etc. Every birthday or holiday was a day for which I would plan months ahead what I wanted to get for her. Why did I and every other boy trying to win the hand of a girl do that? She had my heart wrapped around her little finger. Wherever you find the heart, you will find a man placing his treasures there. I wanted to prove the "sincerity of my love." No one ever doubted for a minute how I felt about Shelley Simmons. In contrast, think about the young man who does not have his heart wrapped around the finger of that special someone. He can take all of this money and buy a nicer car or finer clothes for himself because he is not trying to demonstrate his love for someone. I want the whole world and God to never doubt that He has my heart and that I am head over heals in love with Him.
How did you do on that checkbook test? I remember in school how, when I would get an A on a test, I would proudly lay that paper on my desk for the entire world to see, but when I got a bad grade I was so ashamed that I would hide that paper. Some people need to be ashamed of how much they give. Wendell Winkler tells of a little boy who, seeing the collection plate getting closer and closer, also saw a well dressed woman next to him not making a move to give anything. The boy said to the woman, "Here lady, you give my nickel and I'll crawl under the seat." If you feel a need to crawl under the seat, the great thing is that you can take the test again next week. Just like the student who must go back and study harder, you must make some changes in your giving if you are to pass the checkbook exam next week. Don't be a Christian who just talks about how much he loves the Lord. Put your money where your mouth is and "prove the sincerity of your faith."

Purpose: Genome wide association studies have identified common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with breast cancer risk. Many of these SNPs have an unknown biologic significance. Hormonal risk factors may mediate the relationships between these loci and breast cancer risk. We explored the relation between breast cancer susceptibility loci and menstrual factors using data from two population-based studies. Methods: In the first dataset, composed of 1328 women ages 20–74 years without a breast cancer diagnosis who participated in an established population-based study conducted in three U.S. states, we used linear regression to assess the associations between 13 previously-identified breast cancer loci with age at menarche, age at natural menopause and the reproductive lifespan. The reproductive lifespan is defined as the time between age at menarche and age at natural menopause, excluding time for pregnancy, oral contraceptive use and lactation. A polygenic risk score created as the sum of the number of risk allele copies in the SNPs was also evaluated for an association with menstrual traits. Significant results were then evaluated in the second dataset comprised of 1353 women ages 43–86 years recruited as part of a cohort study based in Beaver Dam, WI. Results: Polygenic score and 13 loci were not associated with either age at menarche or reproductive lifespan. Two SNPs were associated with age at natural menopause; each increase in the number of copies of the minor allele (A) of rs17468277 (CASP8) was associated with a 1.12 year decrease in age at natural menopause (p = 0.02). The minor allele (G) of SNP rs10941679 (5p12) (p = 0.01) was associated with a 1.01 year increase in age at natural menopause, although these results were not replicated in the follow-up study (p = 0.14 and 0.98, respectively). Conclusions: We did not find evidence to support the hypothesis that breast cancer susceptibility loci are related to menstrual factors.
The following are the 18 highest scoring abstracts of those submitted for presentation at the 37th Annual ASPO meeting held March 10–12, 2013, in Memphis, TN.

mile 2
I walk away from work on the trail
beyond the place where the snow plow stopped
fenced in on government property
with lots of trees
just up the hill from the river
across which is the mouth of a coal mine
oh industry
it's not quiet
but I am still
animal tracks in the snow
to and from
my commitment to comfortable shoes
pays off
for the first time in months
it seems
I feel the pound of my heart
in my head
I don't want to go back
mile 3
meetings going too long
missed a walk with Fran
then later missed another
in the hopes of getting one item
off my desk
so I can send the request
for permission to take a day
to use my earned leave time
spend a day
having fun
a truck blocking the way to the gym
the kids insisted
it's not far! let's walk!
in the snow, falling on the ice
we laugh, we slide our way

This past week has been the craziest time since the fall of 2004 when Dave and I (weary and post-partum) moved cross-country with a 6-week old, a 19-month old, and a dog.
The difference is that the craziness then was happy crazy. We were coming home. This time it was scary crazy with fires raging and consuming my hometown, and a new job that requires 10 - 12 hour shifts during emergencies. It was all so overwhelming and exhausting that by Thursday morning I simply cracked.
And, truth be told, my family and I had it pretty well given the state of our community. We evacuated early to my sister's house (beautiful, comfortable, safe and great fun for my kids and dog). Dave's work simply closed up for the week, so he was able to stay home and care for the girls while I worked some CRAZY hours. Rachel and Alex treated it like a little vacation 'sleep over' at Aunt Janie's. They had a ball in a house w/ my sister's 6 cats, her dog, Chewy and our Ollie. And we were never truly worried about our own house - though we were very worried for some of our closest friends.
In the end, though, it was a tremendous strain to be away from my kids and Dave during this crisis. Working in the EOC at such a critical time with just 4 weeks on the job was almost overwhelming. Things were moving so quickly and, in the beginning, I wasn't too clear on my role. Unfortunately, I inherited a media relations program that is virtually non-existent. Consequently, I was less effective in my role as external communications manager than is really acceptable in a situation of this magnitude. The aftermath of that has been more frustrating than you can imagine. After being apart from my life and working crazy hours w/out breaks or lunch (which was catered in so no one 'needed' to leave) I wondered "Is this worth it?"
Apart from my family and my sister's generosity, one of the real blessings in all of this has been the team I work with. If it hadn't been for the camaraderie, strength and professional excellence of my boss and co-worker (& all the people in the EOC) I think I may have quit sometime Thursday morning.
And now it's over and we're all just mopping up. At home we're spraying down the house and sweeping up the ash that has gotten into every nook and cranny of everything. The entire county now smells like an old campfire that's been doused with water. At work, we're sending out our final communications and trying to identify what went right (most of it) and identify the holes (unfortunately - a few big ones) and get back to 'normal.'
In all, more than a dozen fires have raced across more than 503,000 acres - the equivalent of 786 square miles. At least three people - and possibly as many as seven - have been killed by flames. About 1,700 homes have been destroyed, damage estimates have surpassed $1 billion, and the fires are still burning.
