In the end, it seems the only people in Washington being forced to eat their debt limit peas will be Democrats, who found themselves swallowing a bitter political deal forced on them by the White House and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).
When President Barack Obama issued his famous "peas" admonishment, he didn't have just his fellow Democrats in mind. But in the end, it was clearly Democrats — and not Republicans — who were feeling the pain from his agreement.
Hoping to soothe hurt feelings Monday, Obama dispatched Vice President Joseph Biden to Capitol Hill to coax angry liberals — particularly in the House — to vote for the bill.
Although it was widely expected enough Democrats would back the bill in both chambers, Biden had little success in convincing them of the virtue of compromise.
Rep. Raúl Grijalva, co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, dismissed the negotiations as little more than a capitulation by the White House to GOP demands, arguing it was "all give and no take, no back and forth. This is no compromise."
"We're trapped in this tea party agenda. They won, so they should be able to deliver the votes," the Arizona Democrat added.
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), his fellow Progressive Caucus co-chairman, agreed: "We and many more of the Progressive Caucus will be voting 'no.'"
"Come on, any other jokes?" Rep. Peter DeFazio said when asked whether he believed Obama had fought hard enough for Democrats in the weeks-long bipartisan negotiations.
"No revenues, big domestic cuts, the only specified cut is to student financial aid; that's kind of bizarre," the Oregon Democrat said before entering the meeting with Biden. "And the prospect of things getting worse in November. No, I don't think it's a good deal."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other Caucus leaders were quiet throughout the meeting with Biden and Office of Management and Budget Director Jacob Lew, according to a Democratic Member.
No one seemed more devastated over the plan than members of the Congressional Black Caucus, however. Rep. Elijah Cummings, who read to reporters a constituent letter urging him to oppose the deal, said, "A number of Members are concerned that you have a strong tea party, which is at the far right, which is basically holding Congress and the nation hostage, and a lot of people are concerned.
"This is a process, and we just can't make a decision for this moment, we have to make it for years to come," the Maryland Democrat said when asked whether he would support the measure. "The ramifications of this deal ... are going to be long-lasting."
But with moderate Democrats joining Pelosi, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and other leaders backing the measure — however reluctantly — the anxiety about the outcome of the vote dissipated Monday.
As for Republicans, while they faced some opposition from conservatives, they were clearly pleased with Boehner's handling of the situation.
During a closed-door meeting on the deal Monday morning, Majority Leader Eric Cantor (Va.) told Boehner: "Due to your commitment and clarity in setting the goals clearly ... for how we were going to move forward with this debate, for the first time in history, we were going to insist on spending cuts, insist once and for all that Washington doesn't have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. And that we were not going to raise taxes," a participant in the meeting said.
During the GOP Conference meeting, Cantor presented Boehner with a gift of two framed Time magazine covers. One was of Boehner from shortly before he took the gavel from Pelosi. The other was of the late Speaker Nicholas Longworth, who also was a Buckeye State Republican.
Longworth was known, in part, for using the Speaker position to punish the GOP's extreme flank — at the time known as the Progressives — and for working with moderate Republicans and Democrats to pass legislation over his base's objection.
To be sure, a number of conservatives in Boehner's Conference ultimately refused to back the agreement. And outside activists — including Heritage Action for America and the Club for Growth, came out against the bill. Other influential groups, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Americans for Tax Reform, strongly supported the deal and provided Members political cover to vote "yes."
Support for the agreement in the Senate — where a final vote is scheduled for today — was stronger among its Democrats than in the House, but only marginally.
While they will make up the bulk of the votes for the deal in the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-Nev.) Conference was clearly not enamored with the agreement that Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) shepherded in the final stages this weekend.
Liberals worried the cuts were too deep and lamented the lack of any revenues, while conservatives wanted even deeper cuts and, at the same time, are nervous about a trigger that could slash defense spending.
"I feel like I've just met with my doctor, and he's told me what I need to do is diet and exercise," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), who added that she is leaning toward voting for it but isn't happy about doing so.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) predicted a majority of Democrats will back the deal because defaulting is simply unacceptable.
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), a co-founder of the Senate's bipartisan "gang of six," which proposed a much more ambitious $3.7 trillion plan, said it "doesn't get us to the core problem" but that he is inclined to support it.
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) said he was disappointed at the cuts and the lack of taxes in the deal.
"There will never be a long-term solution until we have revenue," he said. And the deal isn't going to do anything to put people back to work, he added.
And Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) ripped the package because nothing would come from the wealthy or from corporations.
"This deficit reduction package is grotesquely unfair, and it is also bad economic policy," he said.
McConnell faced some opposition from his right flank.
But despite dissatisfaction, conservative Senators, including Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah), said they would not block the Senate from voting on the bill.
Paul and Lee, however, said they wanted time to read and understand the bill — even though they are almost certain to oppose it.

Feature Article - The Sydney Olympic Games Update
Most of the direct Games-related travel credits will be concentrated in August to October 2000. Initially, source data will not be available on either the number of Olympics visitors or their expenditures in Australia to enable the direct measurement of this impact.Therefore, the following additional amounts will be included in the initially published estimates in International Trade in Goods and Services, Australia (Cat no. 5368.0):
The above amounts include both the usage of tickets to attend Olympic events and all other expenditures of overseas Olympic visitors while in Australia.
As overseas arrivals and departures statistics become available late in 2000, and as traveller expenditure estimates become available in 2001, these direct-effect Olympics estimates will be revised.
There is $390 million identified in the Games budget in SOCOG's 1999 Annual Report as being received up until June 1999 for television rights. That amount, together with the amounts received during 1999-2000, will be included in the outstanding trade credit liabilities of Australia at 30 June 2000. Further pre-payment liabilities will build up during the September quarter as further payments are made. All of this liability will be run down in September and October as the Games are broadcast. The split of the likely delivery of the services associated with the broadcast rights that will be used in the estimation of audio-visual and related services credits will be:
The exact amounts used in BOP compilation will reflect any revisions reported by SOCOG.
The sponsorship payments received from non-resident sponsors, a component of total SOCOG sponsorship revenue, have been included in the BOP over the past 3 years under royalties and copyrights credits. Final payments will be recorded in the September quarter 2000. These amounts are not separately available.
The trade credit liabilities associated with ticket sales to non-residents are not separately publishable by the ABS. Nor are the Games-related goods imports separately published. The other minor BOP items such as IOC payments were detailed in the article in the September 1999 issue of 5302.0.
All of the Olympics-related credits and debits will be included in seasonally adjusted aggregates in International Trade in Goods and Services, Australia (Cat no. 5368.0). However, some of the Olympics impact will be treated as an extreme irregular in deriving trend estimates of services credits for September and October 2000. For the month of September 2000 an extreme irregular adjustment of $1,473 million will be made to exclude Olympics travel ($450 million) and audio-visual services credits ($973 million) from the trend estimates. In October, $160 million will be treated as an
extreme irregular.
The forward seasonal factors to be used for September and October have been estimated without account for the Olympics and need no further adjustment.
During the 2001 annual seasonal reanalysis, the identified extreme irregulars (re-estimated where necessary) will be taken into account in re-estimating the monthly seasonal factors for services credits.
The other Olympic effects are either dispersed over time, such as sponsorship receipts, or are too small to warrant special treatment in the seasonal adjustment process or in deriving trend estimates.
In the September quarter 2000 issue of 5302.0, the September quarter extreme irregular adjustment applied in deriving trend estimates for services credits will be $1,483 million (including both the September amounts identified above as well as the $10 million to be included in travel in August which does not warrant separate monthly adjustment).
In the December quarter issue of 5302.0, the extreme irregular adjustment to the trend estimate for services credits will be $160 million.
The 2001 reanalysis for quarterly seasonal factors for travel credits and "other" services will account for the relevant components of these extreme irregulars in re-estimating seasonal factors for the series.

About the Industrial Land and Watershed Health Working Group
The Industrial Land and Watershed Health Working Group will advise the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability on the update of Comprehensive Plan policies and approaches to meet the economic development and watershed health goals in the Portland Harbor and Columbia Corridor industrial areas. Members of the working group include members of the Economic Development Policy Expert Group (PEG) and the Watershed Health and Environment PEG and other community members.
Meeting Schedule
There is no set meeting schedule for the Industrial Land and Watershed Health Working Group. However, upcoming scheduled meetings can be found on the Meetings and Events calendar. Most meetings will be held at 1900 SW 4th Avenue, Portland. For transit directions, we recommend TriMet Trip Planner. For driving and biking directions, we recommend Google Maps. There is on-street metered parking and a parking garage located beneath the building.
Potential Topics
- Common understanding – Develop a common understanding of why we are fighting so hard for industrial lands and watershed health in this geography. Include discussion of the fundamental principles and rationales in support of industrial growth and watershed health, such as freight hub growth, traded sector growth, economic equity, maintaining and enhancing riparian and terrestrial resource functions, at-risk fish and wildlife species protection, ecosystem services, and Superfund site cleanup.
- New directions – Explore new directions to reduce industrial/watershed policy conflicts, such as emphasis on land efficiency, regional outlook, integrated policy perspective, identification of strategic partnership and implementation strategies. and integrated regulatory and infrastructure approaches.
- Scenarios – Consider scenarios to address projected industrial land shortfalls and watershed health goals. Advise on optimal scenarios and framing explanations and visuals (e.g. maps and photos) to take to public workshops.
- Policy refinements and implementation – Review results of public workshops. Advise on draft policy refinements and implementation approaches.
Many of the members of the working group are also members of either the Economic PEG or the Watershed Health and Environment PEG.

The United States must move to rein in its massive budget deficits or it faces the risk of a bond market crisis, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said Sunday.
"We've got to resolve this issue," Greenspan said of the ballooning U.S. debt levels.
He spoke about the issue as a panel, chaired by former White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles and former U.S. Senator Alan Simpson, is due to deliver a report on debt and deficits by Dec. 1.
A draft report made public last week offered a series of politically tough tax and spending choices that would seek to reduce the debt by $4 trillion by 2020.
The report received a lukewarm reception from some politicians and outright condemnation by others, including House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who pronounced the ideas "simply unacceptable."
Greenspan, who spoke on NBC's "Meet the Press," said he believed "something equivalent to what Bowles and Simpson put out is going to be approved by Congress. But the only question
is whether it is before or after a crisis in the bond market."
He said the risk is that the deficit, which hit $1.3 trillion this year, could spook the bond market. That would result in long-term interest rates moving up rapidly and could lead to a double-dip recession.

Earlier today, word spread via The Daily Mail that The Enquirer had reported that O.J. told Oprah he killed his wife and Ron Goldman. (The Enquirer hasn't put anything online.) Harpo, Oprah's company, is denying it.
Oprah is long said an O.J. confession is her dream "get." She told an industry event, "I have a dream of O.J. Simpson confessing to me," adding, "And I am going to make that happen, people. I don't just want the interview. I want the interview on the condition that you are ready, Mr. Simpson."
The Enquirer's unnamed source claimed Oprah's producer had already contacted Simpson in prison and that he had said, "Tell Oprah that yes, I did it. I killed Nicole, but it was in self-defense. She pulled a knife on me and I had to defend myself." A spokesperson for Harpo was pretty unequivocal: "That's not true."
Incidentally, the Enquirer previously claimed in a widely circulated report earlier this year that Simpson had been beaten by a skinhead in prison, which Simpson denied.

I'm 29 years old and have always sort of felt like I was in a "grey area" sexually, not overwhelming attracted to girls (though I did notice them), but not overwhelmingly attracted to guys on a physical level either (in fact, of the guys I've dated, I've never felt any real physical kind of connection toward them. Before, I thought it was just because we were a bad match, but now I wonder). I've gotten crushes on both girls and guys before but just thought maybe I had the crushes on the girls because I was attracted to a quality of theirs (nice hair/friendly/outgoing/etc.). Lately, though, I've been wondering whether my feelings might actually be because I'm bi or gay. I've never been with a girl before, and, while I like guys, I feel sometimes like I'd be more "myself" around a girl. Problem is, my family is not someone I could ever come out to (they're a little on the judgmental side, to put it lightly) and I don't know how my friends would react. So right now, I'm feeling a little like the feelings I have (I've got a pretty decent crush on a friend of mine who's a girl) are kind of in my head or something.
Short of coming out to people, I don't really know where to go from here, and it's not like I have many opportunities to even kiss a girl to see what I feel like (I know when I see it on TV or in a movie, it makes sense to me and I even like it sometimes, but that's literally the limit of my experience right now). Do you have any advice?
I sure do! About 400 words-worth of advice actually, per my agreement with the RedEye for unlimited access to the office mini-fridge. Diet Mt. Dew, don't mind if I dew!
Though it may scare and excite you in equal measure, it sounds like you should probably make out and sleep with a few girls. You can wonder and think about it and get hot watching girls kiss on TV -- I watched six hours of The L Word recently for that purpose -- but sometimes you can't really know if girls give you the Nether Feels until you, like, actually feel them netherly.
You don't have to take out a billboard ad to announce your possible newfound interest in boobs or anything like that, nor do you have to label yourself or sign up for an REI membership. Though I would recommend you tell at least one or two people who you think are trustworthy and non-judgey, for three reasons: One, it's liberating. Say it to your computer right now: "I like girls!" (Fun, right? Except now your coworkers think you're crazy.) Two, you'll see it doesn't have to be a big deal. And three, it'll take some of the edge off. Right now it's like this Big Secret Whirligig and so you've built it up in your head and are assuming all kinds of things about yourself and other people. But you shouldn't.
Worry about all the other stuff -- if, how, and when to come out to your family, having a latent identity crisis, becoming an REI member, etc. -- later. Now just focus on finding a girl (your crush seems fine, as long as she's not your boss or roommate and doesn't have a boyfriend), make out with her, and see how that feels. Of course, TV and movies make it seem like everyone and their orthodontist is kissing girls in their free time and that making it happen is as easy as saying, "Have another beer, Amber!" Which is actually my strategy for seducing people, and, coincidentally, getting drunk. Anyway, take your crush out for a drink, work Angelina Jolie into the conversation, (or any girl celebrity you think is attractive), but maybe avoid the double mastectomy topic, and then be like, "You know, I've never kissed a girl before and it seems awesome and you are also awesome. Do you want to make out?" And then see how you feel. If possible, do it a few times because nervousness and Malort-breath and crippling insecurity can get in the way of your true feelings. Also homophobia, but especially the Malort.

Miscues spoil exciting night in Toronto
Reyes records four hits, including first homer, in Farrell's return
TORONTO -- The anticipation had been building for months, but when John Farrell finally made his long-awaited return to Rogers Centre on Friday, the Blue Jays responded with one of their sloppiest games in recent memory.
Second baseman Emilio Bonifacio committed three errors, while Jose Reyes had four hits, but an untimely mistake on the basepaths that likely cost the Blue Jays a run.
It was a disappointing night for the 45,328 fans who showed up to boo Farrell at every opportunity, as the Blue Jays came out on the wrong end of an often ugly, but still exciting 6-4 ballgame.
"We haven't put it all together yet, but too many mistakes tonight," said manager John Gibbons, whose team dropped to 1-3 on the season. "Very rarely are you going to win those kinds of games."
Rogers Centre was almost at full capacity for a date that had been circled on the calendar ever since Farrell parted ways with the Blue Jays after two seasons last October. The boos rained down when the former Blue Jays skipper brought out the lineup card at the start of the game and again whenever he showed his face on the field.
But while the fans enjoyed the antics, they could not enjoy a series of miscues that took place on the field. Bonifacio was the biggest culprit, as he committed two consecutive errors in the fourth inning on a pair of ground balls which eventually led to an unearned run for right-hander Josh Johnson.
Bonifacio struck out four times and committed another error in the top of the ninth, only 24 hours after he made a game-saving play up the middle to help secure a victory over Cleveland.
"It was a tough defensive night," Gibbons said. "Boni had a tough night out there, but he won the game for us last night with his defense. He'll be fine.
"One thing about him, he shows up to play every day, so he'll get through that. We were very short in the 'pen. We still hung in there, big hit here or there we might get a different result. Too many mistakes, you probably shouldn't win the game."
Johnson was relatively effective during his Blue Jays debut despite the series of miscues behind him. He allowed one run in the second and an unearned run in the fourth, but mostly managed to pitch his way out of difficulty when needed.
The lone exception came in the fifth, when Boston first baseman Mike Napoli sent an opposite-field homer over the wall in right. Napoli's first RBIs of the season gave the Red Sox an early 4-1 lead.
Johnson surrendered nine hits while striking out six and walking just two. There was plenty of room for improvement, but he was able to escape most of the dangerous situations.
"Being able to battle, dig down and just find ways to get outs," Johnson said of the positives to take from the game. "It didn't matter what pitch I was going to throw, just make pretty good pitches when I needed to."
The Blue Jays did manage to slowly climb their way back into the game. DeRosa provided the early spark with a sacrifice fly in the second inning and a solo home run in the fifth -- his first homer since April 5, 2010.
The Blue Jays' rally continued that inning, as Maicer Izturis singled and scored on a double by Reyes. The threat likely could have continued, but Reyes attempted to turn the double into a triple and was easily thrown out at third base.
Reyes did atone for that miscue later in the game, when he crushed a 1-0 fastball from Junichi Tazawa and put it into the seats in right field. Reyes' first homer in a Toronto uniform tied the score at 4, but he was still upset about the baserunning blunder after the game.
"That was bad running from me," said Reyes, who went 4-for-5 with two RBIs. "I had the ball in front of me, and in that kind of situation, that can't happen again because that was huge right there."
The final glaring mistake of the night may have cost the Blue Jays the game. With runners on first and third with one out, Napoli hit a groundball to third base.
Izturis fielded the ball cleanly and appeared intent on throwing home to cut down Jonny Gomes, racing home from third. But he tripped and had to settle for the out at first, allowing Gomes to score the winning run.
That spoiled what was otherwise an energetic night at Rogers Centre. The attendance was approximately 2,000 less than Opening Night, but the crowd was much louder and into every pitch, especially as the game wore on.
Farrell's return was the cause, and Boston's manager even had a little fun with the fans as he tipped his cap while leaving the field to a series of loud boos prior to first pitch.
"This game is always going to be about the players," Farrell said. "Given the circumstances, the fans had fun with it. It was a great crowd. The energy they created, it was just an outstanding night. Great atmosphere to play this game in."

A mentor is someone with more entrepreneurial business experience than you who serves as a trusted confidante over an extended period of time, some times free of charge. You may ask, why would they do this? First and foremost it is a way of giving back to their community and to society at large. They may do it to develop their skills as a teacher, manager, strategist, or consultant. And a true mentoring relationship also works in both directions—they learn about new ideas from you just as you learn timeless wisdom from them.
Whatever the benefits to the mentor, the benefits to you, the entrepreneur, are even ten times greater:
To Whom Do You Turn?: You have decided to step out on your own and develop your own Legitimate Online Home Based Business Opportunity! So can you! You no longer have the luxury of having a boss to turn to for advice or counsel and maybe not even an employee to whom you may seek counsel. So you could be flying solo, however you don't have to. A good mentor can be a reliable sounding board, another opinion and even some emotional support.
Been There, Done That: I, as a new entrepreneur, am looking for advice from someone who has made the mistakes and has learned the skills and strategies so I do not make the same costly expenses. Since I'm working in an Internet marketing industry I suggest getting a mentor with some Internet experience since I've found that you can wander around in an Internet dessert if you do not have Search Engine Optimization and ways to market and develop a customer list. Some of my readings suggest that your mentor does not have to be up on the latest trends or technology because you've got other sources for that. I'm uncomfortable with that suggestion since your marketing over the Internet is so critical.
Free Mentoring: While searching the Internet I found some free mentoring services such as SCORE (Service Corps Of Retired Executives) which provide free mentoring. It may be a risky going with SCORE if the mentor does not have some back ground in Internet marketing. However, searching for an Internet mentor for an hour once a week would be very valuable.
Extend Your Business Network: An experienced business entrepreneur mentor will probably bring with them extensive Internet senior decision-makers, that they currently have. My experience has been they will be far more willing to open that network up to you than some casual acquaintance from a networking company.
Build A Trusted Strong Long-Term Relationship: Since your mentor will not be selling you any service or product his major focus needs to be on mentoring. Knowing this should provide an environment for the mentor to combine their experience to build a trusting relationship. Working together over time I know will develop trust that grows even stronger. As the mentor becomes more and more familiar with your business your time will become more efficient. For building a Legitimate Online Home Based Business Opportunity you can expect many rewards working with a mentor and your risk is very minimal and you have very little to lose and everything to gain by finding a good a mentor. Every business entrepreneur should have trusted mentor. Check out an opportunity here!

Humanscale's innovative task lights were designed, like all our products, with performance, simplicity and beauty as their drivers. Our intuitive task lights help to reduce eye strain, improve computer-based reading comfort and reduce energy use and costs. All of our task lights feature a sustainable design and use advanced LED technology, so the user can work in comfort and companies can shrink their carbon footprint.
Humanscale's task lights include Horizon, part of MoMAs permanent collection thanks to its visually striking fusion of form and function, Element Disc, a futuristic LED design, Element Vision, with a clever heat dispersing design and the ultra-efficient Element 790 light.
Overhead lighting is one of the biggest culprits of energy consumption. By placing energy-efficient task lights at every workstation, overhead lighting levels can generally be reduced, slashing energy use and costs. Research has shown that a dual-source lighting system can reduce energy consumption by as much as 67%. Plus, our task lights feature built-in dimmer switches and sensors that automatically shut the light off when you leave the area to save energy.
Because computers, laptops and tablets are backlit, our eyes need as much as 20 times more light when reading paper based documents. Our task lights offer comfortable lighting for every user, and they're simple to adjust too.
All of our task lights were created to offer the user complete ease of use, comfort and longevity.

CPA EXAMINATION NOVEMBER 1963 Haskins & Sells is pleased to congratulate the more than 100 staff accountants from 30 domestic offices who successfully completed the CPA Examination in November 1963. An additional 400- plus members of the staff sat for the examination, and most of them completed parts of it. The passing record of those who used the Firm's CPA Examination Study Guide was about 35 per cent better than the record of those who did not. Sixteen of the successful candidates are from the Los Angeles Office, a new record for a single office. Los Angeles had set the old record at 15 in the May i960 examination and tied it the following May. Twenty-three of the successful candidates*, from states permitting all four parts of the examination to be taken at once, passed the entire examination at first sitting. Three of them were among the ten candidates who received Honorable Mention for the Elijah Watt Sells Award of the American Institute of CPAs: John B. Henriksen, Jr. (San Francisco), William H. Smith, III (Boston), and Ronald H. Uthe (Honolulu). Mr. Henriksen received a BA degree in 1961 from Rollins College, where he majored in mathematics and business and served as Treasurer of his class. He earned an MBA degree from Stanford Graduate School of Business in 1963. Mr. Smith has a BA degree from Yale, where he majored in economics and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. When he graduated in 1962, he stood in the top one per cent of his class. Following graduation, he completed the eight-week accounting course sponsored by the Firm for liberal arts majors at the University of Illinois. Mr. Uthe attended Albany (New York) Business College before going on to the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, U n i v e r s i t y of Pennsylvania, where he majored in economics and graduated in 1962 with a BS degree. While serving in the Navy in t h e Pacific area he visited Hawaii and determined to make his home there. The Firm takes special pride in the distinction they bring to Haskins & Sells.

Hi I have a Black Watch territorial badge that I find perplexing. The detail is extremely fine and the weight correct (with other "good" badges) and is quite flat. The colour looks bronze but I have not seen one like it. I have not tried to clean it. I wondered initially if it had been dug up or exposed to the elements?
Any thoughts?

Phils flat against Reds lose 8-2
Losing can get into a team's psyche, Manuel has got some juggling to do. Mix it up here, and there. Howard hit a homerun yesterday but hasn't contributed that much. Victorino hasn't come through, in fact he is batting .130 with only 2 rbi's so far in 6 games. Jenkins will be in center by the end of the month as your everyday center fielder that is for sure, maybe sooner if the flyin' Hawaiian doesn't change things around real soon.
2-4 is the record with one more at Cincy before the Mets look to take a bite at the Phillies anemic offense.

I am curious why you think center field is a "power" spot when most leagues have their "power" hitters and left and right. I'll tell you why this is...speed. Your centerfielder needs to be able to cover that massive hole in the middle and Victorino is the only outfielder who can effectively do so. If you put Jenkins in center field, you are signing your own deathwish. He is a mediocre corner outfielder at best, but a POWER hitter.ReplyDelete
I just hope the Phillies don't sign you as a consultant...you clearly cannot grasp the basics of the game. Aaron Rowand is an exception to the rule, but even he has only had 2 "power hitting" seasons out of his whole career -- he is a somewhat speedy guy who has good range, good arm, and a knack for the big play. THAT is what makes a great center fielder.
Joey I have two words for you:ReplyDelete
Andrew Jones
Most center fielders that I know are 'star' players. I just don't think Victorino is that star player. True he is speedy and I liked him in right, but for my money, he's not my center fielder.

1932 Ford Roadster Pickup- Nostalgia Just Ain't What It Used To Be
Appreciating The Past Doesn't Mean Living In It
Though it looks as if it's so steeped in the past that it turned green all over, there's nothing antiquated about Mark Murray's pickup. Even Mark will tell you no car from the era it resembles looks quite like it. For example, at first glance it's a '32 Ford roadster pickup; however, this particular style of roadster pickup body didn't exist until a few years ago.
The same goes for the vintage-spec race tires, the world-class five-speed transmission, disc brakes disguised as drums, aircraft-inspired seats, and-gasp!-the billet wheels. They're all modern parts with looks that belie their performance. Engine withstanding, it's an entirely New Millennium creation built to reflect what's going on now, not to repeat what happened then. If anything, it's a modern riding and handling car that just happens to look the part of an old hot rod.
To understand why this car came out this way is to understand that Mark stands at the crossroads of hot rods and sports cars. For the former, "I'd certainly attribute that to my grandfather," he indicated. A gunsmith of world renown named Stan Baker, "He had a chopped-and-sectioned '40 Ford convertible and a '36 Ford three-window he built in the 1940s," Mark recalled. "My dad's still got the '36, and it's unchanged from the way he built it then.
"But, beyond that, I grew up my entire life going to Monterrey for the Historics and Pebble Beach." For that, Mark credits his father, Stan Murray, who campaigns a Le Mans-pedigreed Lotus 11 in vintage events. "I've been doing that since literally before I can remember. The whole era and the event ... everything about it is vintage performance, yet nothing is modern or smoothie or high-tech."
To craft such a traditional-themed pickup, Mark commissioned a rather unlikely shop: Bellingham, Washington's Pyramid Automotive Engineering. Though known for creating pretty progressive machinery for the street rod market, Pyramid's founder, John Barbero, has a traditional side-even if only for the fact that he's built hot rods since the street rod movement's infancy. But, Mark had more grounded reasons. "You hear all these horror stories about geometry, and that's John's deal. That guy can really set up a chassis," Mark indicated. With that, he gave John a set of framerails and a few requests: Make it long, make it low, and make it handle ... and make it do that with an early Olds engine, while you're at it.
Though the Olds mill has an Offenhauser intake now, it in fact started as a real three-carb J-2. A prolonged stay in the rain dictated an eighth-inch overbore, but as any old drag racer will tell you, an early Olds has a block well up to the task. Backing that engine is an adapter from a traditional source, Wilcap; however, there's nothing vintage about the Tremec close-ratio five-speed behind it. "There are people who build period cars that are period-correct to a tee. I respect that, but I'm not one of 'em," Mark said. "I really wanted a driver, and with that engine I really didn't want to risk a three-speed Top Loader. I also wanted a good overdrive."
Ford did actually build a roadster pickup in 1932, but its differs from the one Brookville manufactures. Unless you're a restorer, that's probably a good thing, as the real '32-34 articles don't look anything like any other body in Ford's lineup, and they're certainly shorter on legroom than the Brookville. Pyramid's Kenny Gilmour eliminated the windshield bump to accommodate the boat-style windshield, shaved the door handles, and removed the feet from the flat-style Brookville firewall. Steve Skuhra grafted a '33-34 passenger-car dash to the cowl. Though the bed resembles a stocker, Kenny relocated its wells to center them with the wheels and fabricated panels to fill the gaps between the bed sides and the frame arch. The Kewanee Green that Wilson Johnson and Earl Heyrend applied to the car is a Ford color, but it certainly reflects Mark's sports-car background. In a subtler sense, it's something that identifies the car as a latter-day creation, if only for the fact that American racers of yore generally regarded anything resembling the start flag an unlucky car color.
There's admittedly a bare-essentials appeal to Frank Wallic's aluminum aircraft-style seats, but Mark had these particular ones painted after an attempt to have them plated soured their finish. Cedardale Auto Upholstery's Paul Reichlin trimmed the car, and when a leather supplier couldn't come through, he sacrificed a few of the distressed hides he'd reserved for his own three-window project. He covered the seats, door panels, and the Bell-style steering wheel in hide; the floor, in German square-weave carpet.
Whereas most cars that mingle certain styles do it in aesthetics only, this is a car that's particularly faithful to its influences in the most important way: on the road. The engine grunts in a way only a 400-inch Kettering Olds can, and it can shred the hides when asked to. The lightly baffled pipes rumble as if they're echoing sounds from 1958, and the siren's call of straight-cut spur gears offers the ideal background. In that way, it's a hot rod.
But, the way the car drives is decidedly sports car-like. The Tremec shifts fast and smooth like a vintage Italian gearbox, and each flick of the lever seems to find the engine's sweet spot. The seats cup you in the way Brit-roadster seats do, and the square-weave carpet has that purposeful coarseness common to old Autobahn bombers. Despite riding on what race car engineer Carroll Smith referred to as two dead axles, the car is remarkably compliant and turns well.
From a personal perspective, Mark's car merges his own backgrounds. But, in a greater sense, his car is emblematic of a new generation of hot rods built by a group of enthusiasts who aren't willing to confine themselves to one camp. Generally younger, they aren't necessarily restrained by memories of "the way things used to be"-recollections which tend to be imprecise, anyway.
Not that they're going for historical accuracy, either; it is, for the most part, beside the point. You have to consider that this is the same Me Generation that resurrected bell-bottom pants a few years back without that coarse, plasticky polyester feel.
When they play with cars, as Mark's pickup illustrates, they capture the look yet not necessarily the crude road manners of hot rods built in the middle of the last century. They want their high-tech; they just don't want it to look that way, thank you.
DrivetrainPainted gold to reflect its Golden Rocket status, this Olds started as a vaunted 371ci J-2, but an eighth-inch overbore by Seattle's Action Auto Machine Shop means it measures more like 390 inches nowadays. The manifold is a light-metal Offy, and the 2G Rochesters came from Automotion, but that doesn't mean this engine's a fraud; it's a real J-2, the factory-delivered mill that wore triple induction for 1957 and 1958, exclusively. This one's dimpled rocker covers bear testament to adjustable rockers, requirements for GM-delivered solid-tappet cams. O'Brien Truckers reproduced the Edmunds filter housings; Powermaster supplied the alternator in generator clothes. As it would've had in the day, this engine sports a Wilcap adapter; however, the transmission is a modern five-speed Tremec TKO. Sprouting from this one is a LimeWorks stalk and a Norm Grabowski skull shift knob. Mark's initial plan included hood sides, but the particular clutch linkage Pyramid used precluded conventional headers. Instead, So-Cal Speed Engineering's Rick Carlyle pieced together lakes-style pipes out of Circle City Hot Rods flanges, mandrel bends, and megaphones. Short baffles in the megaphone ends go a long way to prevent headaches.
Though they're reminiscent of Ted Halibrand's cast alloys, the 15x6 and 16x7 Wheel Vintiques Lakester wheels are in fact billet. Vowing to never run a conventional radial ("I just don't like the way those things look," Mark told us), the wheels wear Coker Excelsior Comp V 5.60-15 and 7.50-16 tires, hides originally intended for the vintage racing market. They're bias-ply, but they're nothing like garden-variety maypops meant for grandpa's Lincoln.
Kenny Gilmour shaved the door handles and eliminated the cowl bump and vent to accommodate one of Cam Grant's Du Vall windshields. He also removed the feet from the flat-style Brookville firewall, and he eliminated the secondary lip from the firewall's leading edge, since the aluminum hood top doesn't require as substantial a footing as a full hood. The bed started as a Brookville-supplied reproduction, but Kenny massaged it considerably to fit this highboy application. He's also responsible for relocating the wheel reveals in the bedsides. Wilson Johnson and Earl Heyrend straightened and shot the car in the PPG-mixed British Racing Green. Leading the car is a pair of ultra-rare non-marker Electroline headlights made famous on LaFrance fire trucks for a period. These headlights became incredibly popular for their handsome Deco design. Trailing them are '37 passenger-car taillights sunk into the bed-to-frame garnish. Seattle's Show Quality Metal Finishing plated all the brightwork.

Evan Longoria homered twice, Tampa Bay roughed up Matt Harrison and the Rays beat the Texas Rangers 8-4 Wednesday night to snap a four-game losing streak.
After dropping the last two against the AL-West leading Rangers by one run, the Rays avoided the three-game sweep.
Harrison (15-8) allowed seven runs and 12 hits in 5 1-3 innings. He took a no-hitter into the seventh and permitted two hits in eight shutout innings in his last outing Friday night against Minnesota.
Tampa Bay had scored only 11 runs during their losing skid before breaking out for 16 hits against Texas.
Jake McGee (5-2) pitched a perfect sixth and five Tampa Bay relievers combined for 4 1-3 scoreless innings.
Josh Hamilton hit his 36th home run for Texas.

Heat indexes soared above 110 degrees across the region Friday on the hottest day of the young summer, the second of what could be a stretch of days flirting with 100-degree temperatures.
Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airportreached 103 degrees for the first time since July 22 of last year, with a heat index of 110. Downtown, thermometers at the Maryland Science Center topped out at 106 degrees, with a heat index of 116.
The temperature at BWI would have been a record for any other June day, but the mark for June 29 is 105 degrees, set in 1934.
Temperatures rose quickly during the morning, with the airport recording 94 degrees by 10 a.m. Health officials urged people without air conditioning to visit cooling centers and public libraries through the weekend. Those committed to outdoor activities found ways to cope.
Cheryl Miller sipped icy lemonade under an umbrella as her husband, Mark, found shade under a folding chair with a built-in canopy, his sleeves rolled up and flip-flops kicked off, as they watched their grandson Joshua play in Under Armour's All-America Lacrosse Classic in Towson.
"We know all the accouterments to bring," said Cheryl Miller, of Norwalk, Conn. Her secret weapon, she said, was a battery-powered fan she found at a grocery store. "But who cares what the weather is? You come to see the boys and cheer them on."
Baltimore offered air conditioning, cold drinks and health resources at cooling centers for those less prepared for or more sensitive to the heat. The city's cooling centers will be open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Anne Arundel County will open cooling centers through Monday, and Harford County officials encouraged residents to visit public libraries to cool off.
The Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene received about 20 reports of heat-related problems, including hyperthermia, dehydration and sunburn, in Central Maryland on Thursday, when the high at BWI was 96 degrees. Information from Friday was not immediately available.
No heat-related deaths have been reported this year in Maryland. Friday was the second day this year that the temperature reached 100 degrees at BWI, which last hit three digits June 21.
Baltimore's public works director asked residents not to swim in city reservoirs or open fire hydrants to beat the heat. Alfred H. Foxx also urged residents to conserve water to ensure water presser remains strong for all customers.
At Irvine Nature Center in Garrison, day campers sweated through a game of tag involving "hawks" chasing "baby birds." While the center's focus on learning about nature means most time is spent outdoors, said marketing director Beth Lacey Gill, camp organizers give air-conditioned breaks and encourage parents to apply plenty of sunscreen on their children.
Campers came equipped with water bottles and hats to beat the heat, though the center's "outdoor classroom" is in a wooded area that provides ample shade. Seven-year-old Caden Choi wore a floppy safari hat he got on vacation at Lion Country Safari in Florida, while other boys shaded their brows with Orioles baseball caps.
At the Under Armour lacrosse tournament, some left the sidelines to recover from the heat. Mark and Wendy Raposo of Somerville, N.J., relaxed in lawn chairs and on the grass up a hill from the fields. With one game in the books, they were thankful the tournament wasn't being played on artificial turf, which Mark Raposo said can heat up "like a frying pan."
Like the Millers, they are used to sweating while they watch their son Matt play in summer tournaments. But they were still dreading more heat the rest of the weekend. The tournament ends Sunday.
"Every year we come down here for tournaments, and every year it's like this," Wendy Raposo said.
The National Weather Service is forecasting a high of 100 at BWI on Saturday, which would tie a June 30 mark last set in 1959.

'I'm not disabled': Prosthetics keep amputee Soldiers on active duty
By Demetria Mosley (Fort Jackson)
February 17, 2017
It's day zero and the heat at Fort Jackson in July is sweltering.
A group of new initial entry recruits stand at attention, forming a sea of green in their newly issued OCP uniforms as they wait with looks of anticipation on their faces for the first glance at their drill sergeant.
As Staff Sgt. Christopher Hudec makes his way over to the newest trainees ready to serve their country, the looks on their faces switch from fear of what's to come to pure astonishment.
Just two short months ago Hudec had undergone a major surgery. As he strides toward the Soldiers on crutches, the place where his left leg is supposed to be is noticeably missing.
When his doctor suggested removing it, there was no hesitation. The only thing Hudec fears as a Soldier is failing the mission; if his leg was going to slow him down, he didn't need it.
Hudec meets the gazes of the young Soldiers.
"If you keep staring at it," he yells. "I'm going to put it on you."
Years after the accident, Hudec now has eight different prosthetics that he can attach to his left limb. There's one for everything: swimming, climbing, running, etc.
"There's all kind of stories about how I lost part of my leg. The drill sergeants will tell the trainees to be careful at a course because that's how I lost it," he laughs. "I never lie about what happen. I never pretend I lost it on duty."
In November of 2012, a car pulled out unexpectedly in front of Hudec's motorcycle. He was unable to avoid the accident.
"I heard a snap in my leg and I knew something was wrong," he said. "I kept trying to get up, and I can hear someone say 'Wait! He's moving! How is he alive?'"
The same thing happened to Sgt. 1st Class Kenneth Keith.
"I was on my motorcycle and a truck came at me in a head-on collision," he said. "I have the same exact amputation like Hudec, just on the other side."
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that In 2015 about 5,000 people died in motorcycle crashes, which is up 8.3 percent from 2014.
Although neither one of the Soldiers' legs will ever be the same after the accident, they left the scene with something more important: their lives.
Despite their amputations, Hudec and Keith still live active lifestyles. Hudec participated in the Spartan Trifecta and Keith ran in the Army 10-miler.
"It's a disability, but I'm not disabled," Keith said. "My goal is to do whatever I can do to stay active duty."
About two million people in the U.S. are living with limb loss, according to the Amputee Coalition of America.
"Hudec still out-PTs most Soldiers," said Katie Stauffer, the athletic trainer for 3rd Battalion, 60th Infantry Regiment.
Watching Hudec sprint past him during a PT test motivated Staff Sgt. Darwin Zapata to push himself even further.
"If he can do it with one leg, then why can't I do it with two?" Zapata said. "I definitely pushed myself harder seeing him out there. He's a big motivation."
Hudec, who still kicks his left leg out when he's riding his motorcycle, said he's never let his disability hold him back, and he likes that he's someone who motivates others to push harder.
"Hudec's a walking billboard of the warrior ethos," said Capt. Richard Bradley II the commander of Bravo Company, 3rd Battalion, 60th Infantry Regiment.

|St Michael's Church, Alnwick, Northumberland
Alnwick is a small market village in the north of Northumberland. It is built near and has serviced Alnwick Castle for around 700 years.
Alnwick Castle has been the home of one of the most powerful northern barony of England, the Earls of Northumberland and still is the home of the Percy family and the present day Earl of Northumberland. In was in this village that my great great grandmother Hannah Nesbitt was born in early August 1827.
Hannah is the subject of my third blog in the 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks category "tough woman". Her story starts in the lush green country side of north of England, living in a small village on the outskirts of a castle and finishes in the dry and dusty outback of South Australia living in the small copper mining community of Burra.

Hannah's baptism, at St Michael's Church, Alnwick, on the 3 August 1827 lists her parents as Anthony Nesbitt and Margaret Ramsay. Anthony's occupation was a commercial traveler. Unfortunately, when Hannah was only 7 years old her father passed away. However, her father's will left the family with a reasonable weekly income and Hannah remained in Alnwick until she married Francis Albert Newman at St Paul's Church, Alnwick on the 1 November 1847.
Soon after their marriage Hannah and Francis Newman moved to Sunbury on the Thames, London. Their first daughter Hannah Martha was born in October 1848 and was baptised at St Mary Church, Sunbury. It seems that the family was living in or near one of the local pubs as Francis Newman's occupation is listed as publican on Hannah's baptism record
|Arrival of Boyne in SA 1850
Two years later, Francis, Hannah and their daughter left London (9 March 1950), bound for the Australian settlement of Adelaide, South Australia on the "Boyne".*
Little is known about their first couple of years in the colony of Adelaide, however life in this new colony would not have been easy for Francis and Hannah. Shortly after their arrival, on November 17th 1850, their second daughter Margaret Ramsay was born.
Life was soon to take a difficult turn for Hannah. Francis decided to seek his fortune in the Victorian Goldfields joining the exodus of males from Adelaide to the goldfields around Ballarat and Bendigo. Unfortunately, Francis passed away quite soon after his arrival in the gold field.
His death left his widow, Hannah to fend for herself and their two daughters. Two years later Hannah married William Herbert, and moved to the Burra. In the space of six years, Hannah, a young women of 27 years, had left the quiet life of the small village in Northumberland, married, moved to London, borne two daughters, immigrated to a small colony on the other side of the world, lost her husband and remarried.
|Miners Cottage in Bridge Terrace, Burra
Hannah spent the rest of her life living in Burra where she would lived through and seen the fluctuations of prosperity experienced by Burra community and its copper miners and farmers.
William and Hannah had four surviving sons (William, John, Charles and George) who along with Hannah and Martha (daughters from her first marriage) spent their formative years in the Burra Community. William passed away in 1881 and Hannah continued to live with her family in one of the small miners cottages in Bridge Terrace.
On the 12 January 1913 after a "lingering illness" at the age of 86 Hannah passed away at her home in Burra. Her death was mourned by her two daughters Hannah and Margaret from her first marriage, her sons John, George and Charles from her second marriage and numerous grandchildren.**

OK, I'm back from my whirlwind Philly/Boston trip, which was terrific. Met lots of Shapelings, sold lots of books, had lots of fun. Am also lots of tired.
I'll have photos (and more content) soonish, but for now, please enjoy a dark cameraphone pic Lesley got during the Boston event yesterday. Yeah, I'm totally drinking wine at like 2 p.m.
Also, please note the new thingers on the sidebar over there to the right — the "Fatospherebook" Twitter feed, which will keep you abreast of news about the book, and the upcoming events widget, which ought to be self-explanatory.
And since I know people are going to ask, my wrap dress is from Kiyonna, and Marianne's awesome secretary dress (which did not show up well in this pic at all) is from a Lane Bryant outlet in Orlando or thereabouts. Her tights are from We Love Colors, don't know about her shoes. My shoes are these, except I got them for $45 at Alamo Shoes and am really not sure they're worth $99.
Thank you SO MUCH to Marina of Big Moves Boston, who got the Philly event together for us; Gina at The Rotunda, who hosted it; Ally Day of the Center for New Words, who got the Boston one going; everyone at Lir Irish Pub, who hosted that and got that glass of wine in my hand; Lesley and Julia for giving readings of their kickass essays there; and of course, all the awesome people who came out and bought books!
Oh, and I did not fall once the whole weekend! Though I did have to buy an emergency pair of flip-flops at a CVS in Philly, because my bag went on to Boston without me, and the shoes I wore on the plane were giving me blisters after 20 minutes. (I flew to Philly Saturday morning and Boston Saturday night, didn't realize the dude who checked me in at O'Hare had treated it as a connecting flight rather than two discrete trips. I did bring comfortable shoes, I just couldn't access them.) So I'm still figuring out the whole book event footwear thing, but it's getting better.

On the 27th February 2012 Emperor Group held their annual dinner in Hong Kong.
Kylie Minogue, Will Smith, Pele and Jackie Chan have been lined up to run with the London Olympic Flame, the Mirror can reveal.SOURCE: MIRROR.CO.UK
The A-listers have been identified by organisers as the ideal celebrities to raise the profile of the UK abroad by taking part in the hugely popular relay, which starts in May.
Tourism chiefs sent out invites to carry the Flame in the last few weeks as they bid to capitalise on worldwide interest in Britain during the Games.
A source said: "This is one of the biggest events that Britain will ever host, and only the biggest stars in the world will do.
"We need people who are cultural icons in their own country to really make an impression - and who better than these ambassadors?
"They are loved in their home countries for all the right reasons, and that is exactly what is needed.
"The Torch Relay will be a real highlight of the whole Olympic campaign and with the calibre of people expected to run, it will be an amazing spectacle."
Tourist board bosses know the eyes of the world will be on the Flame as it makes the 8,000-mile journey around Britain to the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, east London.
And they are determined to make the most of the occasion by recruiting A-list stars from the worlds of sport and showbiz to run across the UK with the Flame.
Today marks just 150 days until the Opening Ceremony on Friday 27 July. The 70-day Torch Relay begins on May 19 and will take in 1,019 places and be carried by 8,000 Torchbearers.
Pop queen Kylie, 43, is considered the ideal Australian to carry the Flame and will be cheered on her way by her thousands of dedicated fans.
US actor and rapper Smith, 43, is best known for his roles in blockbusters such as Independence Day, Men In Black and Bad Boys.
Brazilian Pele, 71, is widely considered to be the best footballer in history and won the World Cup for his country three times.
And action man Chan, 57, started his career as a martial arts expert but has forged a role as one of Hollywood's highest-earning action men, starring in hit movie series Rush Hour.
London 2012 organisers have planned the route to allow the Flame to come within 10 miles of 95% of the population.
It will pass through every English county and every local authority area in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and even visit Dublin on a unique one-day trip.

FAYETTEVILLE — Zack Hocker realizes the irony of his final preseason camp.
The Russellville native said it seems like yesterday former coach Bobby Petrino brought him to Arkansas to compete for the punting job as a freshman. Hocker couldn't beat Dylan Breeding for the job in 2009, but managed to find his way on the field elsewhere by becoming Arkansas' place kicker that season.
Now, the senior is getting the chance to "go back to the original reason I was brought in here" this preseason: Punting. And he wants make the most it.
"I'm going to treat it like I'm expected to be called on," Hocker said. "If I'm put in a situation and they say 'Zach, here it is. Here's all three,' I've been ready for that moment ever since Dylan graduated last year."
Hocker, who will continue his place kicking and kickoff duties, is working to add punting to his resume as he prepares for 2013. Hocker is competing with signee Sam Irwin-Hill for the punting job and appears to have a leg up on his competitor after impressing the coaches in practices and scrimmages so far.
Locking up the spot would signify a rare feat for Hocker and create a unique situation for Arkansas' staff. Coach Bret Bielema and special teams coordinator Charlie Partridge said they've never had one player handle all three kicking duties.
But they're not concerned about it stretching Hocker too thin in his final season.
"I wouldn't if we handle it the right way," Bielema said. "I think I've never had that before. I've researched to two head coaches that I competed against that I knew they had a guy that did all three. … Zach has got a very, very strong leg and when he hits it, he's stroking that baby pretty good. I think he's comfortable with his holder, his snapper. He's going to bring a lot of weapons to the table that I think are unique."
Hocker showed some of his potential during Arkansas' first open scrimmage.
He received one of the biggest applauses of the day before the scrimmage even began, booming a punt well over 50 yards during a special teams portion of the practice. Hocker did even better with his regular duties a little later, going 2-for-2 on field goals. It included a 57-yard field goal that earned another ovation.
"Right now Zach is performing at a high level in all three areas," Partridge said. "He's punting the ball well. He's kicking off well and he's hitting field goals well. If he stays on that path, we've got to be really smart about his training regimen. … We have to be really careful and make sure his leg is the same in October as it is now."
It's not a simple task. But Arkansas has formulated a plan it hopes will ensure Hocker doesn't wear down if called upon to handle all three duties this season.
Arkansas specialists aren't asked to task their legs during the week. Bielema said they only kick four days a week during fall camp, taking Wednesday, Friday and Sunday off. It will be a similar schedule when the season begins, basically taking Sunday, Monday and Friday off to make sure they recover and are fresh for games.
Hocker said it is helping so far as Arkansas moves to the midway point of camp.
"A lot of coaches may know special teams schemes and stuff, but as far as a specialist unit goes, they're very experienced in that," Hocker said of Bielema and Partridge. "Coach B completely understands when we're called upon to perform at our peak, the only way we're going to do that is if we have a couple days throughout the week to recover and get our legs back underneath us. He's just been really awesome throughout this whole training process as far as keeping our legs underneath us."
It's important to Hocker who also is on a mission to put 2012 in the past.
The place kicker went 37 of 46 (80.4 percent) on field goal attempts his first two seasons on campus. But Hocker was a puzzling 11 of 18 (61.1 percent) in 2012.
Hocker chalked the problems up to a lack of concentration in a year swirling with problems for the program. He wasn't alone in turning in a disappointing season and intends to make amends this fall.
"The confidence going into this season is incredible," said Hocker, who is working with long snapper Alan D'Appollonio for the third straight year and holder Matt Emrich for the first time. "I'm ready to get the first game behind us and get going."
The first preseason scrimmage was a sign Hocker is at least off to a good start.
Arkansas still hasn't finalized its punting plan for 2013. But Bielema and Partridge are confident Hocker can handle the responsibility if needed.
"I don't know if there's a guy that's more engaged with what we're doing around here than Zach Hocker," Bielema said.
A Closer Look At … SPECIAL TEAMS
Best of the Bunch: PK/P Zach Hocker — The senior had a down year by his standards in 2012, making just 11 of 18 field goals. But he remains one of the SEC's most talented specialists. Hocker may be a triple threat as well, getting a chance to add punting duties to his busy resume in addition to place kicking and kickoffs.
Watch Out For: PR Nate Holmes — The position remains open, but Holmes is a leading candidate to return punts this season. If so, the sophomore has the speed, agility and explosiveness to be a dangerous return man. Arkansas just has to find a way to make sure Holmes – who has muffed punts – holds onto the football.
Biggest Strength: Hocker may not have been a sure thing last season, but the Razorbacks are confident he'll continue to deliver in 2013. The senior enters his final season with a chance to break the school mark for career field goals (12 shy of Todd Wright's record of 60) to go along with his records for PATs made (143) and kick scoring (287 points). Oh yeah, Hocker is on track to punt as well.
Biggest Question: Will the big plays return? Arkansas was impressive on special teams in 2011, which was a big reason for its 11-2 finish. But every unit struggled last season and played a part on the program's downfall. Arkansas must find ways to make big plays again on special teams if it has any hope of reaching a bowl game.
Projected Starters: PK – Zach Hocker, Sr., (11 of 18 on FG attempts in 2012); P – Zach Hocker, Sr., (Stats N/A); H – Matt Emrich, RS-Fr. (Preparing for first season as holder); LS – Alan D'Appolonio (Entering third season as long snapper); KR – D'Arthur Cowan, So., (Averaged 17.6 yards on 10 returns in 2012); PR – Nate Holmes, So., (Averaged 6.4 yards on 11 returns in 2012)
That Figures: 42 — Arkansas' longest return – kick or punt – in 2012. The struggles came one season after the Razorbacks scored six touchdowns on returns that spanned 50 yards or more in 2011. The lack of explosiveness on special teams was one of the many reasons Arkansas limped to a 4-8 record.
Quotable: "He's definitely got great leg speed. He's got great power. What he's going through the growing pains of now is the consistency with all these eyes on him. He's never had cameras around him that are filming everything. He's never had coaches right there, players right there. So he's just going through the normal growing pains of coming into a program like this. But he is getting better every day." — Partridge on Sam Irwin-Hill, who is competing with Hocker for the punting job.

Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly and Company announce positive top-line pivotal Phase III data results for empagliflozin
INGELHEIM, Germany, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced top-line results for four completed Phase III clinical trials for empagliflozin, an investigational sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor being studied for treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In all four studies, the primary efficacy endpoint, defined as significant change in HbA1c from baseline compared to placebo, was met with empagliflozin (10 and 25 mg) taken once daily.
These four pivotal studies from the empagliflozin trial program are:
Study 1245.20 (n=986) evaluated 10 mg and 25 mg doses of empagliflozin as monotherapy versus placebo for 24 weeks.1
Study 1245.23 (n=1,504) compared 10 mg and 25 mg doses of empagliflozin as an add-on to metformin and metformin plus sulfonylurea versus placebo for 24 weeks.1
Study 1245.19 (n=499) assessed 10 mg and 25 mg doses of empagliflozin as an add-on to pioglitazone and pioglitazone plus metformin versus placebo for 24 weeks.1
Study 1245.36 (n=741) evaluated 25 mg dose of empagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes with mild, moderate or severe renal impairment, and 10 mg dose in those with mild renal impairment versus placebo for 52 weeks.1
Incidence of adverse events was similar for placebo, empagliflozin 10mg and 25mg. Genital infections occurred more often with empagliflozin (both dosages) compared with placebo. This safety information is consistent with findings reported in the Phase II study results for empagliflozin.2
Empagliflozin is part of a class of drugs being investigated for the reduction of blood glucose levels in adults with T2D. In clinical trials to date, SGLT-2 inhibitors have been shown to reduce blood glucose.
"Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly are encouraged by the efficacy and safety results for empagliflozin," said Prof. Klaus Dugi, Corporate Senior Vice President Medicine, Boehringer Ingelheim. "Many patients with type 2 diabetes are not meeting their blood sugar level goals, and alternative treatment options are needed for them. We believe we are now one step closer to bringing a new treatment option to these patients."
"We are pleased with the results for these Phase III clinical trials for empagliflozin," said Enrique Conterno, President, Lilly Diabetes. "Diabetes is growing at a tremendous rate across the world. Patients and their physicians need more treatment options in order to help improve their blood sugar levels and reach their treatment goals."
Empagliflozin is being investigated in adults with T2D in a Phase III clinical trial program that will enroll over 14,500 patients.1 In total, this program comprises eight multinational clinical trials, including a large cardiovascular outcome trial.
The pivotal studies for empagliflozin completed in 2012, and Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly anticipate filing for regulatory review in the U.S., Europe and Japan in 2013. Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly plan to present detailed data disclosures for many of these studies at scientific medical meetings and publications in 2013 and 2014.

hello stranger
Hello.....Where did this Summer go?. I was a fool to think I would be able to keep on top of things, gallery, deadlines, commissions, parenting.....We all got the flu and my baby became a little boy. They grow quickly in the fresh air don't they? He has lots of words....apple, egg, iggle, tractor and Hermione being his favourites. The latter being his current girlfriend. Exciting things happening here so stay tuned. I visited an amazing studio recently of a ceramicist and got studio envy times a billion. Photos coming tomorrow.The little man has been helping us in the gallery this week while his Mormor is on holiday and we have deadlines so he came to work with us. His material of choice is felt tip pens, mine of course acrylic, and he has enjoyed adding the final touches to my paintings?!?!?!?!?!?!
Have you all had a good Summer? I look forward to catching up with some blogs this week, I've missed you and this little space.

Sveum can relate to injured Louisville star
ATLANTA -- Cubs manager Dale Sveum cringed when he saw the replay of Louisville guard Kevin Ware breaking his leg during the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
In 1988, Sveum's career changed after a freak collision with Brewers teammate Darryl Hamilton. Sveum was playing shortstop and chased a pop fly down the third-base line, crashing into Hamilton, who was playing left. Sveum broke his left leg, which had to be re-fractured a year later because it didn't heal properly.
Seeing Ware go down brought back lots of memories for Sveum.
"I felt horrible about it," Sveum said of Ware, who is in Atlanta with his Louisville teammates for the Final Four. "I went through the same thing. It was kind of a freak accident. His was even stranger to come down and do something like that in such a horrific way. It makes you nauseated, that's for sure. It was one of the more horrible injuries, if not the most horrible injury, we were able to see and witness. Hopefully, he can come back. I don't know if he can come back from something like that. That was eye opening to say the least."
Sveum recalled his injury immediately.
"It's a flashback, knowing exactly how much pain you're in when something like that happens," Sveum said. "You basically kind of go into shock. It's something you'll never forget. I flashback every time [Darwin] Barney or [Starlin] Castro go down this line for a popup.
"It's such a traumatic incident that you'll never forget it," Sveum said.
