I have been looking for an opportunity to make Guinness cake, or cupcakes, or brownies for quite awhile, and I finally found it. On Thursday, March 1 at 1:30 eastern time, I am going to be talking about food blogs with Linda Gassenheimer and Joseph Cooper on WLRN, the NPR affiliate in South Florida. I wanted to come up with an easy recipe to share, and this is it!
You can listen in (and find out if they like the cupcakes) by going to www.wlrn.org and clicking on the live audio feed.
Now, back to the cupcakes. St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, and this is the perfect dessert to follow up corned beef and cabbage or any Irish feast you plan to serve. The cake is very light and moist, with a mellow stout flavor that is the perfect complement to the cocoa. They are not overly sweet, so the espresso buttercream is a perfect topper. This frosting has a light coffee scent, but is mild enough for anyone who is not a coffee lover. It is absolutely irresistible on the cupcakes and helps bring out the Guinness flavor.
I just got the name, "O'Hara," by marriage, so if you don't want to take my word for it, my Irish husband cannot stop eating these cupcakes.
Guinness Cupcakes with Espresso Cream Frosting
Cakes adapted from a recipe from The Detroit Free Press via Cupcakes Take the Cake and from a recipe by Dave Lieberman from Dave's Dinners. Frosting adapted from The Betty Crocker Cookbook.
You can find the instant espresso powder for the frosting at specialty stores and many supermarkets. I ordered mine from the King Arthur Flour Baker's Catalogue.
Makes 24 cupcakes
For cupcakes:
1 stick unsalted butter
12 oz. Guinness
½ tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. granulated sugar
¾ c. natural unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. salt
1 ¼ tsp. baking soda
¾ c. sour cream
3 eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fill two 12-count muffin pans with paper baking cups.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, Guinness and vanilla. Stir occasionally until butter is melted. Pour into a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes.
In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, gradually combine with the Guinness mixture in three additions. Beat in the sour cream, then beat in the eggs one by one.
Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pans, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Bake for 22 to 28 minutes (mine took 25) or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Leave in the pan to cool for 5 minutes, then finish cooling on a wire rack. Frost when cooled completely.
For frosting:
3 c. powdered sugar
1/3 c. butter (5 1/3 tbs.), cut into cubes and softened
1 ½ tsp. instant espresso powder dissolved in 3 tbs. water
In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer on low speed to combine. Pour in the espresso mixture and continue beating on medium-high until frosting is smooth and creamy. If frosting is too thick, add water a couple drops at a time to reach desired consistency. Makes enough for 24 cupcakes or an 8-9 inch two-layer cake.

As the design-your-own (DYO) trend continues this year, more and more companies are jumping onboard and attempting to woo the world's crafty tweens. A lap around the arts and crafts section at this year's American International Toy Fair revealed no shortage of bands, bracelets, or buttons just waiting to be adorned.
These are a few of my favorites:
- Crafty Bands (Epiphany Crafts): Designed for kids ages 8 and up, Crafty Bands allow kids to create their own charms using the included Shape Studio Tool. Unlike some other paper punches, this one is super easy on the hands and has a cap to ensure that the newly made charms don't fly away. The Crafty Bands Starter Kit includes the Shape Studio Tool, four Crafty Bands (pink, purple, blue, and lime green), 20 Crafty Snaps, 20 Bubble Caps, and adhesive. beware though, you'll need your own adhesive to adhere the paper to the snaps. I tried a glue stick, but that wasn't quite strong enough. Some quick-dry liquid glue should do the trick. For more information on Crafty Bands, visit www.craftybands.com.
- My Image Button Maker (Choose Friendship): This kit allows kids to turn their favorite photos and graphics into buttons. They can choose from one of 36 preprinted images or upload and use their own on myphotosizer.com or the My Photosizer iPhone and iPod touch app. My Image Button Maker comes with 12 pins, 12 magnets, 12 button fronts, 12 button pages, and six pre-printed image cards. For more information, visit www.choosefriendship.co/.
- Rainbow Loom (Choon's Design): Designed for kids ages 8 and up, the Rainbow Loom allows you to create a "woven" bracelet using rainbow rubber bands. The loom and bands can look a bit intimidating, but the whole endeavor only takes about 10 minutes. It was definitely worthy my time! The kit includes all the supplies necessary to make up to 24 bracelets and more than 600 rubber bands. For more information, visit www.rainbowloom.com. (Check out the cool instructional video below!)

Disabled Rights Activist Advocates for Aid-in-Dying
This is an excerpt of a speech delivered at the three campuses of the University of Alaska.
I am a severely disabled man. At the age of 19, I contracted polio, which left me paralyzed from the chest down. I have used a wheelchair ever since. As a founding member of the disability rights movement, I authored what became the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 in Alaska -- to my knowledge, the first legislation to acknowledge the civil rights of disabled people ever passed, anywhere. I have been active in the movement throughout my adult life.
I am also a member of the National Board of Compassion in Dying (CID), an organization that seeks to ensure that patients, as they approach the end of life, retain control over their bodies and their lives -- their personal autonomy -- until the end. CID holds that a person at the end stage of terminal disease has a moral right to compassion, counseling, hospice care, full and adequate pain medication, and, should this be his/her considered desire, physician assistance in obtaining the medication necessary to control the manner and means of his dying.
As an elderly disabled man, I see my disabled friends dying as disease overtakes their worn out bodies. It is my own firm conviction that persons with disabilities have much wisdom and insight to inject into the public debate over end of life care and physician assistance in dying. We know -- as able-bodied people do not -- that "quality of life" bears no relation to bedpans and wheelchairs. It is not about losing your ability to play tennis or go to the bathroom by yourself. It is bigger than that: quality of life is found in self worth, personal autonomy, the love of oneself and others.
I believe that every human being has a God-given right to control what is to be done -- or not done -- to his or her body. This right to choose extends from birth to death, across the entire span of life. Friends, family, physicians, clergy, society have a right to educate and counsel the person on alternatives and outcomes, but the decision itself belongs to the individual involved. "Nothing about me, without me," is the slogan of ADAPT, the disability activist group. This personal autonomy, the very basis of disability rights, most surely does not diminish at the end of life.
The moral issue assisted dying presents can be stated in two ways: Should the suffering patient have the right to end life when recovery is impossible. Or, Should the physician have the authority to end such a life if so requested.
Whether you approach assisted dying the first way or the second way directly influences how you see the issue. I see it the first way, as a matter of patients' rights. As a disabled person who has fought for my civil rights I see assisted dying as a matter of personal autonomy. I make the decisions. While I do not believe that I would ever make use of assisted dying, I believe it would be a comfort and support, knowing that it is available.
There is some evidence to indicate that most disabled people feel this way. A Harris Poll, taken in 1995, reported that 66 percent of disabled Americans support the option of assisted suicide for persons in severe pain in the terminal stage of disease. This support is six percent stronger than that of Americans as a whole. Fewer than 20 percent of disabled people oppose physician-assisted dying.
The promise of individual liberty and personal autonomy as spelled out in the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights has been repeatedly ratified and affirmed over the last generation by the courts, the Congress and the state legislatures. People with disabilities now hold these rights of citizenship equally and irrevocably -- as do all American citizens, able-bodied and disabled alike. Disabled people have the right, as they exercise and demand the right, to control their bodies, their lives and their destinies. I for one, treasure this liberty above all things and I do not intend to let it go as I pass through the end stage of my life on earth.
Dr. Gallagher is a well-known scholar, writer and disability rights activist. A person with polio quadriplegia since 1952, Dr. Gallagher has fought for the civil rights of disabled people for almost 40 years. Dr. Gallagher is also one the world's foremost experts on the atrocities committed against people with disabilities by the Nazi regime. A prolific writer and commentator on a variety of topics, Dr. Gallagher most recently has concentrated on issues of medical ethics as they relate to disability.

CFP® Professionals and Stakeholders Encouraged to Comment
Washington, DC, August 19, 2011 – Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. announced yesterday that it is seeking comments from CFP® professionals and stakeholders on proposed amendments to its experience requirement for initial CFP® certification and revisions to its Disciplinary Rules and Procedures (Disciplinary Rules).
"These proposed changes to initial certification and Disciplinary Rules are a continuation of CFP Board's ongoing effort to fulfill our mission of benefiting the public by granting and upholding the CFP® certification as the recognized standard of excellence in personal financial planning," said CFP Board Chief Executive Officer Kevin R. Keller, CAE.
"We believe that the proposed changes to initial certification will encourage more people who are providing quality financial planning services to the public, or who want to do so, to attain CFP® certification," Keller said. "And our proposed changes to the Disciplinary Rules will provide clarification to our rules and procedures, strengthen our investigative and hearing processes and incorporate best practices of established professions that have a disciplinary process."
Overview of Proposed ChangesProposed Experience Requirement Amendments
Comment Notice: Comments may be received during a 30-day public comment period, which ends September 17, 2011. Comments received will be posted to CFP Board's website and reviewed by a working group and CFP Board staff. Any final proposed amendments will be presented to the Board of Directors for review and approval in November 2011.
CFP Board's current experience requirement requires individuals seeking to attain CFP® certification to complete three years of full-time work experience related to the personal financial planning process. The details of CFP Board's current work experience requirement are available at www.CFP.net/become/experience.asp.
CFP Board recently convened a working group to review the experience requirement. The working group, composed of a diverse group of CFP® professionals with a broad range of financial planning subject matter expertise, length of experience, business organizational models and academia, considered CFP Board's history with this requirement and other professional certification organizations' experience requirements. After substantive discussions, the group developed several recommendations for revising the experience requirement.
Among the revisions under consideration are:
To review the recommended revisions to CFP Board's Experience requirement, please visit CFP Board's website at www.CFP.net/downloads/CFPBoard_Experience_Proposal_2011-08.pdf.
Those wishing to comment on the proposed revisions should submit written comments no later than September 17, 2011. Comments may be sent to CFP Board by e-mail to email@example.com or by mail to:

Revisions to Disciplinary Rules
Comment Notice: Comments may be received during a 45-day public comment period, which ends October 3, 2011. Comments received will be posted to CFP Board's website and reviewed and considered by CFP Board staff, members of CFP Board's Disciplinary and Ethics Commission, and outside counsel conducting the review of CFP Board's enforcement processes. Final proposed amendments will be presented to the Board of Directors for review and approval in November 2011.
If, based on the comments received, CFP Board determines that significant additional changes are needed to the Disciplinary Rules, it may be necessary to distribute a revised version of the Disciplinary Rules and to schedule a second comment period.
The Disciplinary Rules outline CFP Board's procedures for enforcing its Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility, Rules of Conduct and Financial Planning Practice Standards, which establish standards of ethical conduct for CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals. The Disciplinary Rules also apply to the Fitness Standards for Candidates and Registrants.
As part of a comprehensive review of CFP Board's enforcement process, which is being conducted by outside counsel experienced in securities regulation and administrative enforcement processes, CFP Board is proposing revisions to the Disciplinary Rules and Procedures.
The revisions, which have been reviewed by and are supported by CFP Board's Disciplinary and Ethics Commission, are intended to clarify ambiguities, incorporate best practices of established professions that have a disciplinary process, and generally strengthen CFP Board's investigative and hearing processes. It is not anticipated that the proposed revisions will impact the business operations of CFP® professionals or the firms with which they are associated.
To review the recommended revisions to CFP Board's Disciplinary Rules and Procedures, please visit CFP Board's website at www.CFP.net/downloads/CFPBoard_DRP_Proposal_2011-08.pdf.
Those wishing to comment on the proposed revisions should submit written comments no later than October 3, 2011. Comments may be sent to CFP Board by e-mail to email@example.com or by mail to:

Tony Buser's F-Bomb packs soil and flower seeds into a bomb-shaped and biodegradable PLA shell.
Sure, there are cheaper and more efficient ways to do this… but… pfft… The idea is to stuff it with some compost and seeds and then throw it somewhere that you think could use some color, but you either can't get to it or it's where people wouldn't appreciate seeing you digging around. Then wait for mother nature to dissolve the shell and make some magic.

Tires sidewalls split apart on all four tires. Two tires had severe rips. I could have been in a serious accident. If one of the tires did not go flat overnight I would have never known how dangerous these tires are after 30,000 miles. Stay away to be safe.

Needed to get some tires for my 2009 Escape without adding another $600.00-$700.00 of debt to the ole' Visa card. Went with the Fuzion SUV tires. No regrets here. These tires look, feel, and ride great! Quiet too! If your looking for some inexpensive SUV tires, these are the way to go.

These are the best tires I have bought in a long time. I was pleasantly surprised how they change my truck's handling from OK to great. I enjoy driving my truck again. I bought these just before another winter storm hit. Now I can go through the snow without sliding or getting stuck. The shop had great service, gave me a great price, and installed quickly. Thanks.

2014 BMW 3 Series Wagon, Z4 & M6 Gran Coupe: Detroit Auto Show
- A wagon joins the 2014 BMW 3 Series lineup.
- Subtle changes to the Z4 roadster for 2014
- 6 Series Gran Coupe gets a high-performance M model.
This year's Detroit Auto Show was a busy one for BMW. In addition to unveiling the all-new 4 Series Concept Coupe , the luxury brand also showed off two new 3 Series models, an updated Z4 roadster, and the new high-performance M6 Gran Coupe. All three models will arrive at dealers later this year.
The 2014 BMW 3 Series wagon adds a shot of practicality to the latest 3-Series lineup. Officially the 3 Series Sports Wagon, the new model will be offered solely in 328i guise. That means it will use a 241-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Sprints from 0-60 mph should take around 6 seconds, while gas mileage figures will likely be very similar to the sedan's 23 mpg city and 33 mpg highway.
While BMW has not yet announced pricing for the Sports Wagon, we expect it will carry just a slight premium over the sedan's $35,775 base price when it goes on sale this spring. While rear-wheel drive is standard, available all-wheel drive will increase the wagon's appeal to drivers in snowy northern states.
The Sports Wagon wasn't the only new 3 Series BMW shown in Detroit. The brand also brought an all-new entry-level model to the show. Dubbed 320i, the new model will start at just $33,445 with shipping, making it around $3,400 cheaper than today's base-level 328i. A 200-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder propels the sedan to 60 mph in around seven seconds. Options include all-wheel drive, BMW Assist telematics and an eight-speed automatic transmission in place of a standard six-speed manual. Fuel economy numbers will likely be a tick better than the 328i when the 320i arrives in dealers this spring.
BMW also unveiled a subtly updated 2014 Z4 roadster in Detroit. Changes to the sports car are mostly skin deep, with new headlights and fender vents highlighting exterior revisions. The BMW Z4 also adds three new colors: Mineral Grey, Glacier Silver and the striking Valencia Orange. The latter can only be ordered with the new Hyper Orange interior package, which includes orange contrast stitching, orange seat accents, and orange door panel trim. BMW says the updated Z4 will go on sale this spring.
A high-performance version of the new BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe rounds out their launches in Detroit. The new M6 Gran Coupe shares its basic design with the handsome sedan, adding unique 20-inch wheels and a sporty body kit. Under the hood, it uses the same turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine as the M5 and M6 coupe and convertible. That motor produces an impressive 560 horsepower and 500 lbs-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. The M6 Gran Coupe can reach lightning speeds quickly; BMW says 0-60 mph comes in just over 4 seconds. Upgraded brakes will help bring it to a stop. On sale this summer, the M6 Gran Coupe will likely start around $110,000.
In addition to showing off the 3 Series Sport Wagon, M6 Gran Coupe and Z4, BMW also revealed the 4 Series Coupe Concept in Detroit. The 4-Series will replace coupe and convertible variants of the popular 3 Series when it goes on sale this year.
What it means to you: BMW's ongoing product blitz includes new body styles, new variants and subtle updates, in addition to some totally new models.

Great read for the longer tenured fans, even before my time such as Ron and Joe. I've only been a fan since 98 so can relate to some but not the Manning injury etc, so OG fans on this forum enjoy! For the new fans it's a good perspective on loyalty and what goes into investing in a team.
Good article - most of the media is invested in the clippers being a laughingstock - it is hard for them to let go
Been a looong time coming since I've been following them from 1983. It may have taken a while, but when and IF they finally win the big one, it'll make it so much more satisfying. Been though this with the Angels.
I'm a clippers/angels fan too because my father is. Simple as that. My memories are tied up in going to these games. But yes, we have been spoiled the last few years. I just want to see progress with this core. Very disappointing to take a step back last year. Not just that we lost but the way we lost. Getting our butts kicked four times in a row (losing my double digits)
After being up 2-0. Still makes me mad,
It's like the grizzlies decided they weren't going to take it.
We need to mentally be that way.
I've been a fan since 92 since I was a kid. Great read.
Great article, I've put up with a lot during my 15 year's of rooting for the Clippers. But no matter what I stuck with them through thick and thin. And when they finally do win a championship, it will be so sweet to know that I've been through the pain and suffering, so it'll be that much satisfying.
I've been a fan since 2001. I never really watched allot of Basketball as a kid because I was too busy playing it, I would mainly watch to just study the top PG of the game. But in 2001 i started to watch just as a fan and so for 2 weird reason's I gravitated toward the Clippers. But mainly I like to route for the underdogs. It's been Fun as heck so far.
Great read! Been a fan since the 80's!
I'm only 21 but I've been a die hard fan since 1999 I was young but always loved basketball and my team I didn't exactly know the players or anything I was really young. But I knew that the clippers were my team ha ha ha over the years I've been made fun of a lot a lot for being a clippers fan and I've always stood up for them and our players. I've been with them since I could remember and it pisses me off to see all these bandwagon fans who prob don't even remember Kerry Kittles or know who he is.
^That Is the price you pay when you win. The more you win the more bands wagon fans you collect.
I joined the party when LO, Q, and Miles were ballin''. It's been a tough decade. Its an awesome feeling when you can consider the Clippers a powerhouse without turning the Xbox on.
I've been a fan since 1991. We're heading in the right direction but we still have a lot of work to do.
Great article, I have been a Clippers fan since 1997 and it has had it's ups and downs with a lot more downs than ups so I can relate to how it doesn't seem real that the clippers have a team contending for a title!
Most real clipper fans don't know him. He played like 5 games total for us
I remember being stoked for Kerry Kittles. I won't forget Kittles was the recipient of Chris Conan's top play of his life. Caron Butler remembers.
We made the playoffs in my 2nd year (05-06), so I feel like a bit of a cheat.
But then again, Shaun was my favorite player and I was just waiting for him to take the league by storm. When he went down, my girlfriend (now wife) and I mourned like we'd lost a loved one.
Its just annoy me that despite our success as of current. We keep hearing about Lakers dismay. I'm tired of hearing the same story over and over again. Oh yeah, Mason is a douche.
Been following the Clippers since '93, but didn't become a fan until '95. Brent Barry was what got me into them. His rookie year was unbelievable, the things he was doing on the court was a sight to behold.
every clipper fan needs to know the following names:
Ken Norman
Harold Ellis
Bo Outlaw
Hustling on every possession, diving for every lose ball, battling for every rebound, they're the embodiment of blue-collar Clipper ball.
add THE RHINO and REGGIE to that list!

same here
Bandwagon cheater.

I loved having someone on the team named Bo. My favorite Bo had left my NFL team and to have another BO to root for was choice. I think Ken would fit well on this squad.
One main reason I love reading yall's post since 2007 is no matter what the nostalgic memories never go away here!!! lol had a great time last night with my Girlfriend(Laker Fan) & 2 yr old son @ the game, best moment was when he would point out Blake on the court he says "Blake" now, When those confused fans would BOO D12 he tought they were screaming "MOOOOOO" like a cow lol, He sat the entire 1st half on my lap & clapped 4 defense, yelled "Shoot shoot shoot" & "Babichu" that is his way of saying Basketball, wearing his lil Blake jersey & Clipps Hat, that was one the greatest feelings in the world, I love this team hate these new fans who we see at games now, who don't even know basketball but can't wait until the playoffs!!!
haha who says no to shaun livingston and sam cassel?
The Lakers sucking and being destroyed by Jim Buss and Kobrick's ego will never get old.
No matter how bad they get, it will always be a Laker town first. Too much history to fight.
They've only been in L.A. For 54 years. The NBA will be around as long as there are humans willing to play it. 54 years is minuscule compared to century's that this game has left to give.
This WILL NOT always be a Laker town.
Loy vaught was pretty good.
Wow this thread turned out amazing. I loved reading all of your stories and even saw some guys I haven't seen post for a long time! I hope you longer tenured fans come more often, because I can definitely speak for this forum when I say we all miss you. We NEED longer tenured fans to give us newer fans perspective at times (myself included).
Every clipper fan needs to know where vaught's spot was
Fan since Odom, Q, Miles era. Was also the first time i travelled to LA to see some clipper games.
Remember World B. Free?
Amazing scorer and had the hatred of playing defense.
I have been a Clipper fan since 1988. When I was 12 yrs old and the Clippers selected. Danny Manning and later traded for a young healthy Ron Harper.
Ken Norman, Gary Grant, Charles Smith, Benoit Benjamin, Bo Kimble, Olden Polynice, Michael Cage and Later with Sam Cassel.
Are Some of my favorite Clippers of all time.
I was at the game when Shaun blew up he knee and I happened to be sitting down low in upgraded seats and was staring right at him when he knee buckled the wrong way. Number 3 on my list of seeing something right when it happened. It was nasty.
This WILL NOT always be a Laker town.
Don't count or bet on it, LOL.
I don't have to. Doc, Chris and Blake already did.
All of those guys bet their careers on making the L.A. Clippers THE team in L.A.
I'm actually quite content with Doc, Chris and Blake being in the same boat as I. There might still be room on the boat if you want to jump ship later on.

Ok, you win if you think it's going to be that easy. Nice arguement though.
I don't recall mentioning anything being easy.

Unzipped: Projecting the AL West
Using baseballreference.com I established a home run rate, strike out rate, and hit rate for each of the starting 9 of the 5 clubs in the AL West. I used mlb.com's depth chart to determine what players would be included. Using these numbers I projected what each player would do with a minimum number of major league at bats (486) if they started every game at that position. I did not include walks or obp because I was using the at bat stat for these projections and not plate appearances.
Instead of posting the actual numbers for each player, I decided to use the numbers to compare the overall output, in regards to these stats, by each team, giving a better idea of where the Astros could end up in relation to the rest of the AL West.
Disclaimer: These numbers are pulled from 2012 batting stats. Small sample size, potential FA signings, and pitching adjustments be damned.
Home Runs:
1. Houston Astros
2. LA Angels
3. Oakland Athletics
4. Texas Rangers
5. Seattle Mariners
Top 3 players home run rate:
1. Josh Hamilton - LA Angels 13.069 AB/HR
2. Chris Carter - Oakland Athletics 13.62 AB/HR
3. Justin Maxwell - Houston Astros 17.5 AB/HR
I found the biggest surprise to be the home run numbers. The Astros and the Angels were neck and neck in the total home run numbers.The Angels line up has more proven AB's while the Astros line up is a projection based on a smaller sample of AB's. So I figure Houston's players may experience greater periods of slumps than the Angels line up. Or maybe they will take some developmental strides and surprise some people. The truth probably lies somewhere in between.
Maxwell, Lowrie, and Dominguez project as the top 3 home run hitters on the Astros.
Strike Outs: (greatest to least)
1. Oakland Athletics
2. Houston Astros
3. Seattle Mariners
4. LA Angels
5. Texas Rangers
Top 3 K rates:
1. Mike Olt - Texas Rangers K/2.5 AB (very small sample size)
2. Carlos Pena - Houston Astros K/2.7 AB
3. Justin Maxwell - Houston Astros K/2.76 AB
Oakland barely edges Houston in strike out totals with Seattle not far behind. The Angels and Rangers show the most discipline at the plate and it's not very close.
Carlos Pena, Justin Maxwell, and Bret Wallace project to have the most strike outs for the Astros.
Batting Average:
1. LA Angels
2. Texas Rangers
3. Houston Astros
4. Seattle Mariners
5. Oakland Athletics
Top 3 Hit Rates:
1. Mike Trout - LA Angels Hit every 3.07 AB.
2. Adrian Beltre - Texas Rangers Hit every 3.11 AB.
3. Craig Gentry - Texas Rangers Hit every 3.27 AB.
Top Astro: Jose Altuve Hit every 3.44 AB
Jose Altuve, Matt Dominguez, and Jason Castro project to have to top 3 batting averages on the club..
The Rangers and Angels team batting average each projected about 25 points higher than Houston's team average, which projects about half as much of that over Seattle and Oakland.
So what can we take from this? Not a ton. This wasn't the most scientific method of projection and later today when Houston's ZIPS projections come out we can get a more precise estimate of how Houston's players will perform on an individual level. This was meant as more of sizing up the AL West in these categories to get a better idea of how Houston will compete in 2013.
2 comments:
A. This required a tremendous amount of work and you should be applauded for your efforts.
B. The Angels hit 187 HR's last year with Pujols and Trout taking the first month off. Then they added Josh Hamilton. The Rangers hit 200, and the A's hit 195. We had 146. In my wildest 2013 imagination we hit 180 and still fall well short of 3rd place.

That is probably the reality of the situation. This was based on home run rates from last year and a lot of the houston lineup was based on a smaller number of at bats. The totals i got would mean a healthy jed lowrie for a full season and a full season of production at that level from j max and b. Wallace ect. So lots of ifs involved. I also dont think Domnguez homers at the same clip as he did in his time at the major league level last year but i still think he produces the 3rdhouse most jacks for the ball club.

Workshop and discussion that addresses the issues of communication and disconnection in activist groups and professional organizations. Disconnections impact our working groups and cause division, discord, isolation and oppression. Workshop facilitators ground their work in relational-cultural theory, which sees the goal of development as one that should not be about forming a separated, independent self, but rather the ability to participate actively in relationships that foster the well being of everyone involved. It follows that in creating mutually empowering connections we can transform all the institutions in our lives, from school to workplace to home. We plan to discuss connection, disconnection and the sociopolitical context within which we live. We will work together to help all people/groups/allies feel engaged, empowered and connected to each other and their visions for social change.

text: I recently acquired a short Datsun UK press release relating to the NRVII (Nissan Research Vehicle II) from 1983 which lead me to take a closer look at this concept. This car was a pretty advanced project for its time which featured all sorts of technology that today is commonplace such as a navigation system, automatic lights and wipers, tyre pressure warning as well adaptive cruise control. Based on a B11 Sunny (Sentra), the RVII ran a methanol powered turbocharged 1.3 (E13 engine) which put out 120bhp. Along with the weight savings (over an already light car!) afforded by the use of plastics for things like the windows, fuel tank and even the wheels, this must have been a pretty lively performer!

More about joining the Parkinson's Unity Walk
The Parkinson's Unity Walk is about much more than the 1.4 mile Walk route. It is held one day in New York City's Central Park but participants work to raise funds all year round for research.
When you join the Parkinson's Unity Walk, you will know you are not alone in this fight, as you will experience the support of the Parkinson's community. You'll be one of the hundreds of teams and thousands of individuals who have chosen to participate and support someone they care about. You'll also be encouraged as you begin to ask your friends and your networks to support you by joining and giving money towards Parkinson's disease research. On Walk Day, you'll be walking amongst other families who are making a difference.

Technical Communication Journal Coming To Tech, Aug. 18, 2008
By Roger Renteria
SOCORRO, N.M., Aug. 18, 2008 – Dr. Julianne Newmark, assistant professor of English, is bringing Xchanges to the New Mexico Tech Humanities Department. Xchanges is an interdisciplinary technical communication and writing journal.
Newmark helped launch Xchanges in 2000 when she was a student at Wayne State University in Detroit. She was named editor of the journal while she was a master's student. The journal is a venue for undergraduate and graduate students to submit scholarly articles that are peer reviewed and published online.
Newmark and her student technical communication intern, Patrick Smith, recently completed moving the entire Xchanges website to New Mexico Tech servers and are working on a new design for future journal publications.
Newmark says that many publications, such as IEEE or Technical Communication, are for professionals and the purpose of Xchanges is to allow students an opportunity to submit articles for peer review and have real-world visibility.
Originally, the journal was linked with the American Studies program at Wayne State and it was a good fit for the interdisciplinary aspects. Now that Newmark is at New Mexico Tech, she wants to change gears and link it to the Humanities and Technical Communication programs.
"The ideal goal is to eventually attach it to the Technical Communication program as a client project and have students staff the journal," she said.
Newmark would remain editor and would manage the journal's team of student editors and handle the submissions. The aim is to publish interactive electronic works on various topics related to technical communication, composition studies, and rhetoric and writing.
"There is a lot of potential for us to reshape the journal in a way that fits the humanities department and the larger Tech community," says Dr. Julie Ford, associate professor of Technical Communication and program director.
Newmark hopes to model the journal after two prospering scholarly technical communication journals — Orange Journal and Kairos — which publish their articles online. Orange Journal is a peer-edited student publication from the University of Washington. Kairos is a refereed journal from Texas Tech University.
"They are admirable models," says Newmark. "Xchanges would focus on undergraduate and graduate students, emerging professionals, and professors to writing about writing."
Additionally, she sees Xchanges as an innovative platform for "new scholarship on the intersections of community and technology made possible by audience-specific and purposeful communication."
Newmark said the project will continue in the fall with Smith finishing work on the journal's website. She hopes to publish articles online by fall 2009.
"In order to make the journal a success, I hope to involve students with the journal who are dedicated to online interdisciplinary publication and Technical Communication," she said.
Back issues of Xchanges can be found at http://infohost.nmt.edu/~xchanges. Anyone interested in being involved should contact Newmark at email@example.com.

How to Use the Context
Inquiry Question
For centuries these tribes had controlled large sections of what became Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. However, their authority diminished rapidly in the first part of the 19th century because state and territorial governments rarely prevented settlers from encroaching on the land reserved for the tribes. After 1800, many Native Americans, frustrated by these violations, reluctantly left their lands and relocated across the Mississippi. In the 1830s, President Andrew Jackson's policy of Indian removal forced new treaties on tribal members still in the Southeast; these required the five nations to give up virtually all of their remaining holdings. Though some Native Americans moved elsewhere within the region, most unwillingly traveled west. These migrations led to much suffering and many deaths, most notably the Cherokee "Trail of Tears" during the winter of 1838-39.
By 1860 the five nations had created new lives in the Indian Territory. They had built towns, reestablished tribal governments, planted orchards and fields, and expanded their herds of beef. A small percentage continued to hold black slaves, a practice they had followed in their old homes. Available statistics indicate that by the start of the Civil War about one Native American in 50 in the Indian Territory owned slaves. The federal government assisted the tribes by providing annual payments and stationing troops who worked to keep the peace among tribes and to prevent encroachment on Native American lands. Travelers from the east occasionally appeared, passing through in search of fertile land elsewhere, driving cattle from Texas to Kansas or hiding out from the law in remote areas.
In the months following Abraham Lincoln's election to the Presidency, both the North and South increasingly courted tribal leaders. Each side recognized the Indian Territory's importance in controlling the Trans-Mississippi West and its role as a buffer between free state Kansas and slaveholding Texas. Southern leaders also wanted to be able to draw on the area's resources: food, minerals, and manpower. As the tribes received this attention, however, they also realized that this conflict might yet again disrupt their lives.
Setting the Stage was compiled from Grant Foreman, The Five Civilized Tribes (Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 1934); and R. Halliburton, Jr., Red Over Black: Black Slavery Among the Cherokee Indians (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1977).
