November 25, 2012 (KHARTOUM) – The ruling National Congress Party (NCP) on Sunday denied reports that the head of its parliamentary bloc resigned to protest the outcome of the Islamic Movement (IM) convention that took place this month in Khartoum.
- Former adviser to Bashir and ex-head of the ruling National Congress Party (NCP) parliamentary bloc Ghazi Salah al-Deen Al-Attabani
The NCP's spokesperson Badr al-Deen Ibrahim said that news of Ghazi Salah al-Deen al-Attabani's departure are simply "rumors" and stressed that he is a member in good standing of the party.
Ibrahim accused unspecified parties of propagating the rumor in an attempt to "fish in troubled waters".
Al-Attabani himself said in press statements that he is still with the NCP and reiterated that he has not been summoned or quizzed in connection with the alleged coup attempt uncovered this week by Sudanese authorities.
The former presidential adviser is seen by many as a symbol of the reformist faction within the NCP which is pushing for separating the NCP from the Islamist movement and embracing democratic transformation as well as promoting new faces to leadership positions.
But Al-Attabani has reportedly withdrew his candidacy for Secretary General of the IM and left the meeting due to what he saw as interferences by influential government figures who pushed through amendments he opposed.
But an NCP figure who closely followed the workings of the convention told Sudan Tribune this weekend that Al-Attabani pulled out after finding out that the NCP leadership have determined to choose someone else for that position.
Al-Attabani's name has been also been linked to the 13 Islamist military and security officers arrested on Thursday night and accused of plotting to overthrow the regime. This included former head of National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) Salah Gosh and Brigadier General Mohamed Ibrahim Abdel-Galil who is better known as 'Wad Ibrahim'.
Wad Ibrahim in particular enjoys tremendous popularity among Islamists and last year he gathered around 1,000 Islamists at his home including Al-Attabani. He is believed to be the leader of the group widely known as "Al-Sae'ohoon" which formed the core of special forces fighting South Sudan rebels during the civil war since president Omer Hassan al-Bashir came to power in 1998 in a bloodless military coup backed by the National Islamist Front (NIF) .
Al-Sae'ohoon is said to be unhappy about NCP leadership abandoning Islamic values and giving too much concessions to South Sudan which became an independent state last year. They have also urged Bashir to sack his defense minister Abdel-Rahim Mohamed Hussein whom they hold responsible for army failures and defeats.
The NCP spokesperson told reporters that anyone calling for change should express their views through proper channels within the party institutions. However he underscored that those calling for reforms should not think that it is "their way or the highway" given differing views.
"There is no problem for the party in hearing [different] views but there may be a problem in that the ones offering opinions want others to succumb to their opinions and points of view" Ibrahim said.
Ibrahim made the statements following NCP politburo meeting held to discuss the alleged coup attempt.
He also expressed concern over growing speculations and false rumors on the plot and those involved adding that only security agencies are responsible for disclosing information on that.
A press conference scheduled by information minister today to offer more details on the plot has been cancelled without explanation.
Many observers and opposition figures in Sudan have appeared skeptical on the government's version of the story given conflicting statements made by officials on whether it was an aborted coup or simply discussions among those accused.
This week NCP's leading figure Qutbi al-Mahdi suggested that Gosh will likely be cleared and released while local newspapers in Khartoum quoting security sources said that he will likely be referred to a military tribunal.

EDMONTON - In the wake of the largest flood in Alberta history, the Tory government announced Sunday a sweeping plan to move homes and businesses out of the areas most in danger and to flood-proof other areas at risk.
But many of the details of the province's initiative have yet to be nailed down, and the impact on communities is still uncertain.
In a rare Sunday news conference, Municipal Affairs Minister Doug Griffiths announced in Calgary that the province will ban new development in floodways — the areas subject to the most destructive flows in so-called "100-year floods."
The province will allow — and pay for — the repair and rebuilding of damaged homes in floodways, but it will not pay for damages from future floods on refurbished homes in those zones, he said. If a property owner chooses to relocate, the province will provide financial assistance for a new home.
Premier Alison Redford said in an interview that the government is trying to provide "the most choice with the least impact," but acknowledged the policy will mean tough choices for some homeowners.
"There are people who have homes on the floodway that they love and we're saying, 'Really, if you want to choose to stay there, you have to understand there are consequences.' That's going to be hard for people to hear, but I also think that most people are going to realize that makes sense," she said.
In flood fringe zones — the portion of hazard areas outside of the floodway — the government will pay for repairing or rebuilding homes affected by the recent disaster, but will require flood-proofing such as berms, water control infrastructure or raising the structure.
The government will pay an additional 15 per cent over replacement costs for flood-proofing measures on individual homes in some cases. In other instances, broader municipal flood mitigation efforts will suffice, but that will only be determined through consultation with municipalities, Griffiths said.
If no flood-proofing takes place, homeowners will not be eligible for disaster assistance in the case of a future inundation. Homeowners in floodways and flood fringe areas across the province who weren't affected by the recent flooding won't be relocated and will still be eligible for assistance in case of future flooding.
Griffiths acknowledged the province has no estimate of the number of houses affected by the new policy — though he says the amount located on floodways is small — or the cost involved. The Progressive Conservative government announced an initial $1 billion for flood relief and reconstruction, but said more money would certainly be needed for a disaster estimated as causing multiple billions of dollars in damage. The floods began June 20.
In Edmonton, some parts of Rossdale and Riverdale are in the flood fringe zone, while some new condominiums in Cloverdale are located in the floodway.
Ward 6 Coun. Jane Batty said while there is not much more land to be developed in Rossdale, Riverdale or Cloverdale, she is unsure how the announcement to ban new developments in floodways will impact housing projects planned for West Rossdale.
"I would certainly have to look at what the province has put in place ... Does that mean some of these projects that we've been working on for so many years are no longer viable?" she said.
Lynn Parish, community league president for Rossdale, said most of the high-risk flood areas are now parkland.
Those who do have homes in the flood fringe won't be surprised after looking at the map the province has released.
"We've always known, anybody who built down here knew, that they were building in a one-in-100 year flood plain, we just know that, and there are specific regulations around where you could put the furnace in your house because of that," she said.
What she is concerned about is a fire station on the river's edge that was recently approved to be repurposed as a river rescue centre.
"Do we want to see pictures of our fire engines stranded in two feet of water if and when we have a flood here?" she said.
She added that city council was warned the fire station is in the floodway.
Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi said there are differences in expert opinion over what areas should be considered floodways and what should be designated flood fringe areas.
"Our city is built at the confluence of two rivers," he said. "We really need to know what we're talking about here. We ended up evacuating nearly 100,000 people, a 10th of our population, and we really need to understand what the province is talking about when we use those terms."
Nenshi noted that both the Bow and Elbow Rivers have carved slightly new courses because of the flood, requiring updates to flood mapping.
Griffiths said the province will use its existing flood hazard area maps, subject to some tweaking, to determine who falls where.
Griffiths could not say whether residents in floodways that choose to leave damaged homes will be compensated for their land, as well as the cost of their homes. He said the province will work with municipalities on a "case-by-case" basis on the issue.
"We fully understand these policies come with extensive considerations and while we don't have all the answers to all the individual situations faced by Albertans today, we're working as quickly as possible with municipalities to finalize the details," said Griffiths.
Griffiths said the province will also require notification on land titles for properties in floodways and those in flood fringe areas that have not been protected against flooding.
Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith, who represents High River, said she wanted to see the government commit to investigating the causes of the flood.
But Smith said she is in agreement with the broad outline of the government's plan.
"But what I worry about is that they're putting almost 100 per cent of the blame and the responsibility on homeowners to solve this problem. In my opinion there are some big, important infrastructure decisions and mitigation decisions that need to be made by the federal and provincial and municipal governments."

In the issue that begins hitting stands today, I interview Dr. Rick Strassman, who dosed volunteers with DMT, a powerful psychedelic, at UNM in the early '90s.
Tonight, there will be two showings (6 p.m. and 8 p.m.) of a documentary called The Spirit Molecule about his five-year study. Strassman will be on hand at the Guild Cinema to talk about his work and answer questions after each screening.
The article will be available online at alibi.com this evening. But until then, here's a preview:
What would another round of experiments look like today?
I don't know about any more DMT studies. I just gave so much DMT. ..
I think it would be interesting to give DMT to scientists who are doing studies with parallel universes and string theory and dark matter and things like that. I do speculate at the end of the book that that could be the location of this other state, this freestanding, apparently independent state. I think it would be interesting to get their opinion on what this seems like to them based on all of their thinking and their computer models.
Do you see therapeutic potential in psychedelics?
Oh yeah, for sure. That's ongoing right now. There's a study out of Hopkins a few years back causing mystical experiences with psilocybin. There was a study a few years ago by UCLA, giving psilocybin to the terminally ill, and it was quite helpful.
There are some alcoholism studies using psilocybin that are either underway or close to being started. There's quite a few studies of ayahuasca being helpful with psychological problems and substance abuse problems.
Did you ever hear from Timothy Leary about any of your work?
Tim was in Santa Fe for a talk in the early 1990s, and I was living in Tijeras at the time. Someone called and asked if I wanted to meet Tim. It was in the middle of the week. I wasn't that interested in meeting him, to tell you the truth. So I passed.

But what I've noticed lately is how Dooley and Diver have helped people associate me with There's a Newf in My Soup. Just the other morning, Coronado Mayor, Casey Tanaka, called over as he walked into Starbucks, "Hey, are you Denise?" When I replied yes, he said, "I read your blog!" I also met Steve, the man behind eCoronado, Coronado's #1 community website and online newspaper, when he recognized the boys as we walked past his house one morning.
Diver, age 3, 150 lbs, on the left, and Dooley, age 11, 130 lbs., on the right...No, they don't sleep with us, and yes, they shed and drool!
While enjoying my second cup of coffee, which is usually at the office, I like to nibble on a muffin with my yogurt. I made the P90X Plum Bran Muffins, which were good and very healthy, but then came across these Morning Glory Muffins, from Cooking Light. They're not quite as healthy, but are rated outstanding based on five out of five stars by the majority of reviewers. They're also very accommodating if you want to make substitutions in the type of dried fruit and/or nuts to suit your fancy. Some reviewers used Splenda Brown Sugar Blend in place of regular brown sugar.
Morning Glory Muffins
Adapted from Cooking Light(Makes 18 muffins)
1 cup whole wheat flour (about 4 3/4 ounces)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (about 2 1/4 ounces)
1 cup regular oats
3/4 cup packed brown sugar (or 6 tablespoons Splenda Brown Sugar Blend)
1 tablespoon wheat bran (I used oat bran)
3 tablespoons ground flax seed (about 2 tablespoons whole)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain or vanilla fat-free yogurt
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2)
1 large egg
1 cup chopped pitted dates (I used prunes)
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (I used pecans)
1/2 cup chopped dried pineapple
Preheat oven to 350°.
Place 18 muffin cup liners in muffin cups and spray lightly with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together flours, oats, brown sugar, wheat bran, flax seed, baking soda and salt. In a separate, medium bowl, whisk the egg and then add the yogurt and banana. Combine well, and add this mixture to the flour mixture. Stir just until moist. Fold in the dates, walnuts, and pineapple. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until muffins spring back when touched lightly in center. Remove muffins from pans immediately and cool on a wire rack.
Nutritional Information: Each muffin contains 186 calories (21% from fat); 4.4 g fat; 4.2 g protein, 35.2 g carbohydrates, 3.4 g fiber and 190 g sodium.
The Newfs also give these muffins 5 Stars!
Next time you see me and my goofy boys walking down the street in Coronado, stop and introduce yourself! But please...don't ask me if they're Bouviers!

STEP 1: Sanitize work area, client's hands and your own.
STEP 2: Cut and file nails to desired shape (square or round), push back cuticles
& trim if necessary.
STEP 3: Gently roughen the entire nail bed with a nail buffer to remove the
excess cuticle and shine from the nail bed.
STEP 4: Remove dust with nail brush.
STEP 5: Gently shake powder jar to loosen powder from settling and then open
STEP 6: Apply pH Prep to entire nail bed.
STEP 7: Apply a thin coat of Base Bond and then: dip finger/nail into powder,
tap off excess with another finger (don't tap on the jar as this could cause the jar
to tip over). Repeat this on each nail, one at a time.
You can use a nail brush gently to brush off extra powder on fingers/hands.
Make sure to wait a few seconds after dipping, before brushing away
dust (to ensure dryness).
STEP 8: Repeat Step 7. (If you have very weak/flexible/brittle nails or you are super
tough on your nails, you may want to do 3-4 coats. As long as you apply thin coats
of Base Bond, your end look will still be thin and not look too thick)
You could use 1-2 coats of Crystal Clear powder and 2 coats of color powder
if you did not want to darken the color too much).
STEP 9: Apply Solidify generously to all nails and let dry at least 30 seconds.
Preferable drying time is 1-3 minutes.
STEP 10: Gently buff nails (entire surface) and file edges if necessary. NOTE:
Gently use drill or file as close to the cuticles and sides of nail as possible to
ensure smooth edge grow-out.
STEP 11: Wash hands and dry thoroughly.
STEP 12: Apply Solidify. Let dry 30 seconds.
STEP 13: Apply 2 coats of Glossy Coat to all nails and let dry for 3 minutes. Make
sure to also seal the free edges with both coats. NOTE: Apply one coat to all ten
nails and then immediately apply the second coat to all ten nails. The three
minutes for drying is after the second coat.
STEP 14: After nails are fully dry, apply oil/lotion to cuticles/hands if preferred.
STEP 15: Much later – when thoroughly dry, file again to shape if necessary. That's it! Now you have gorgeous, rock hard, natural looking nails that are super shiny!! Get ready for lots of compliments!!
This lasts 2-3 Weeks and can be re-filled!

Managing Data Management: Getting Started with Data Management Plan Support (for librarians) New
Librarians are used to dealing with data in all its forms but sometimes researchers aren't so sure. Many funders now require evidence from the researcher of how they plan to manage the data they use and collect during the research process and this often has to be tailored to specific guidelines. This presents a great opportunity for library staff to work with the research community but how do they get started?
Join the OSC to learn more about what a data management plan is, why they are necessary, the different information needed, how to complete one and how to support someone in completing theirs. This interactive train-the-trainer workshop will include a mix of presentations and activities with a chance to put your new knowledge into practice.

Weddings can be costly, but you don't necessarily have to go it alone.
More often than not, friends and family are willing to pitch in and help you realize your once-in-a-lifetime wedding vision. Unless you're one of those lucky couples whose parents pick up the whole tab, think creatively about where you can save money by doing things yourself, and where it's appropriate to ask for help.
Your wedding day will be one of the most important events in your lifetime together as a couple, and it's likely that your loved ones will go out of their way to help you make it happen. While you can put out a general call for cash assistance or put a "donate now" button on your wedding website, it is much more subtle to enlist a friend or family member to organize group payment for a specific component of your wedding. For example, your wedding photography makes for a great group gift for an engagement party or shower. Similarly, friends are often willing to chip in to help pay for flowers or a band. Anything with a lump sum you know beforehand, such as your wedding photography package, is easy for loved ones to contribute toward. It is rewarding for them, too, to know they've helped you to create lifelong memories of your special day.
No, that's not a typo — you and your fiancè can have fun pulling off your big day together. In fact, funding your own wedding is very rewarding and makes every moment seem to count that much more. Start by opening a special joint savings account just for your wedding expenses. Then, agree to each put a certain percentage of your monthly salaries into the account and watch it grow. In the meantime, think about what you can do to add more to the pot. Every time you cook in at home together rather than going out to dinner, calculate the cost difference and deposit it into your account. Skip the movie and rent a video, go for a long walk together rather than shopping — you'll end up spending more time together while getting a lot of your wedding planning done in the process.
Sometimes you have no choice but to turn to the bank for help. While paying off your wedding loan can be a very good place for you to start responsible financial habits together, you don't want to start off your married life with a lot of unmanageable debt. So think carefully about how much you want to spend and how you will pay it off. Begin by making a list of your dream wedding components, then figure out the rough costs of each.
If the total is more than you want to spend, which it's likely to be, then begin deciding where you can creatively cut corners or put your loved ones' skills to work. Do you know a musician who could play your processional or whose band might give you a discount on the reception? Know any good bakers who could help pull off a cupcake tier instead of an expensive wedding cake? Know any artistic types who might make good flower arrangers? You could even do your wedding flowers yourself, which gives you ultimate creative control. By thinking strategically, you should be able to come up with a loan amount that you're both comfortable with, and which won't put a dent in your financial future.
It seems counterintuitive, but the more work and creative energy that your wedding involves, the more special and personal your big day will be to the two of you. Friends and family will be happy to help out, and will always feel just a little bit responsible for your happiness, which is a nice gift for them, too.

Mo. governor vetoes three-day abortion waiting period
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, vetoed legislation Wednesday that would have required a 72-hour wait for women seeking abortions, asserting that legislators showed a "callous disregard for women" by granting no exception for rape and incest victims.
Republican legislators quickly vowed to override the governor's decision, and they may have the numbers to do so. The GOP-led legislature approved the plan earlier this year only one vote shy of the supermajority needed to undo a veto.
The bill, sponsored by Republican Rep. Kevin Elmer of the southwestern town of Nixa, would have made Missouri the third state — behind South Dakota and Utah — with a three-day waiting requirement.
"This extreme and disrespectful measure would unnecessarily prolong the suffering of rape and incest victims and jeopardize the health and well-being of women," Nixon said.
Missouri law currently requires a 24-hour wait between when a woman consults a physician and receives an abortion, with no exception for rape or incest.
STORY :Mo. lawmakers pass 3-day abortion wait period
STORY :Missouri students weigh in on state's new abortion law
The new bill would have required women to wait 72 hours between their initial appointment with the physician who will perform the abortion and the procedure itself. The state's only clinic is run by a Planned Parenthood affiliate in the St. Louis area.
Elmer said the purpose of the waiting period is to give women more time consider the severity of their decision.
He said life begins at conception and should be protected regardless of the circumstances under which it begins, even if that includes rape.
Sen. David Sater, one of the sponsors of the measure, said that Nixon was—perhaps unintentionally—placing a lower value on the life of a child conceived through rape than one conceived consensually.
"They're both equal in God's eyes," Sater said.
Paula Gianino, president and CEO of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri Planned Parenthood, praised the governor's veto. She said the legislation "would block access to safe, legal abortion and make it more difficult for women to get the care they need."
Lawmakers could attempt to override Nixon's veto in September.
An override would require a two-thirds vote in both chambers. The measure originally passed the House 111-39, getting two votes more than it would need for an override. The 22-9 Senate vote fell one vote short of that mark, but one Republican senator was absent.
"I'm confident that we've got more than ample numbers to override the governor's veto," said Elmer.

As we bid farewell to summer's tank tops, shorts and sandals, designers are already deciding what we'll be dying to wear next spring. I've asked Tracy Reese what she'll be sending down the runway in just a few short days at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City. Here's what to expect:
"For Spring 2013, Reese combines a variety of textures, patterns and details for an effortless collection of versatile silhouettes. Inspired by the rich range of hues found in David Hockney landscapes, Reese's palette focuses on foliage-inspired greens, complimented by cool blues, lilacs, tangerines and neutrals.
'I played with the juxtaposition of organic and technical, soft and structured and sporty and feminine for an unexpected and refreshing collection,' said Reese. 'A quilted silk jacket in pert layered over a black burnout gauze shirt and a mentholescence stretch linen trouser, and paired with fringed sandal and clutch, creates an effortless look that is sophisticated yet relaxed.'"

Offensive performance by position (and the closely related topic of positional adjustments) has always interested me, and so each year I like to examine the most recent season's totals. I believe that offensive positional averages can be an important tool for approximating the defensive value of each position, but they certainly are not a magic bullet and need to include more than one year of data if they are to be utilized in that capacity.
The first obvious thing to look at is the positional totals for 2012, with the data coming from Baseball-Reference.com. "MLB" is the overall total for MLB, which is not the same as the sum of all the positions here, as pinch-hitters and runners are not included in those. "POS" is the MLB totals minus the pitcher totals, yielding the composite performance by non-pitchers. "PADJ" is the position adjustment, which is the position RG divided by the overall major league average (this is a departure from past posts; I'll discuss this a little at the end). "LPADJ" is the long-term positional adjustment that I use, based on 2002-2011 data. The rows "79" and "3D" are the combined corner outfield and 1B/DH totals, respectively:
The 2012 positional RG averages demonstrate a fairly remarkable convergence near 4.8 for a number of positions (third base, the three outfield spots, and DH all between 4.75-4.85). While this is nothing more than a one year data fluke, it's the kind of thing that is fun when you find it. One thing that has persisted is left fielders being outperformed by their stronger armed brethren in right, although 4.8 RG represents a bounce back from their pitiful 4.45 performance in 2011. The other most notable position performance came from backstops, who were close to league average and outhit the middle infielders. For an odd but meaningless fact, note the excellent stolen base record of DHs--their 80 SB% was the best of any position.
Pitchers reached a new low in 2012; their .06 RG is close to breaking linear weights, and their PADJ of 1 represents a new all-time low (the previous nadir was 5). The team pitcher data below (and all of the team data for all positions that follows in this post) are park-adjusted. RAA is baselined against the overall major league average for the position (with left field and right field pooled). It's worth noting that the formula I'm using for Runs Created is limited to the basic categories, so sacrifices are ignored, which could make a difference for pitchers:
An eighteen run range between the best and worst team pitchers is pretty common. Washington's pitchers were clearly the best, leading in both batting and secondary average. Cincinnati's BA was only five points lower and they tied for second in isolated power (behind Milwaukee), but only San Diego's pitchers had a lower walk rate than the Reds. At the other end of the power and overall offense spectrum was Pittsburgh. They were last with a -.7 RG and -8 RAA, but their isolated power was a woeful .003 (the next lowest was Houston at .018).
Pittsburgh pitchers mustered just one double in 290 at bats--I didn't check, but it's tough to imagine any teams in history have topped that. AL pitchers in aggregate came pretty close, though, with just three doubles in 282 AB (.011 ISO). All AL teams had a pitcher reach base safely except the Tigers, but their 0-13 was offset by seven sacrifices to lead the AL. The best hitting pitchers were Cleveland with a .290 across-the-board slash line (six singles in 21 at bats).
I don't bother running a full table for the team leaders in RAA at the positions that actually hit, as these are usually uninteresting (Tigers third basemen were good offensively? You don't say). The leading teams by position were:
I find it a lot more interesting to look at the worst positions (the player listed is the one with the most games played for the team at the position):
Kevin Youkilis takes a bad rap here as he had a respectable 720 OPS in 316 PA as the Chicago third baseman; his teammates combined for 466 in 339 PA. If you endeavor to score 1,000 runs for the season, it might be a good idea to make sure that you don't get the worst offensive production out of two of your positions. No amount of corner power can mitigate that. Although Pittsburgh's left fielders were the worst in total value relative to their position, Seattle's shortstops had the overall worst performance with 2.5 RG. They were actually matched in production by their team's pitchers, who hit a raw .227/.261/.273 for 2.5 RG (the park adjustment should not be applied to AL pitchers because all of their PA--except for rare cases that tend to involve Joe Maddon--come on the road). Obviously the pitchers' performance came over a microscopic 23 PA, but it's a factoid with some nice shock value.
A few years ago I wrote a bit about teams with unusual profiles of offense by position. This topic has been of particular interest to me in recent years because of the way the Indians have been constructed--often they have gotten good production from positions on the right side of the defensive spectrum while struggling at the more offensively-inclined positions. The easiest way I've come up with to express this numerically is the correlation between a team's RG by position and the long-term positional adjustment (I've pooled left and right field but not 1B and DH in this case; pitchers are excluded for all teams and DHs excluded for NL teams, and I've broken the lists out by league because of this):
As I suspected, the Indians displayed one of the strongest inverse correlations between positional expectation and actual production with the most negative correlation in the AL. Cincinnati had the strongest correlation in the majors; contrasting the two Ohio teams should illustrate how these results came about:
The Reds got their best production out of first base and the corner outfielders, and their middle infielders and catchers had relatively low RGs. Only center field produced contrary to expectation in a meaningful way. The Indians, on the other hand, got no offense from first base and left field. While right field was productive as would be expected, the other top positions included the middle infielders and catcher.
Perhaps it's my experience as an Indians fan speaking, but I feel that the type of pattern displayed by the Indians in recent years is the most frustrating as a fan. Cleveland has gotten solid production from catcher (Martinez/Santana), second base (Kipnis recently), shortstop (Peralta/Cabrera), center field (Sizemore/Brantley)...and has struggled to find first basemen (Garko/LaPorta/Kotchman) or left fielders (Michaels/Duncan/Damon/etc) who could provide league average (overall, not even relative to position) production.
The following charts give the RAA at each position for each team, split up by division. The charts are sorted by the sum of RAA for the listed positions. As mentioned earlier, the league totals will not sum to zero since the overall ML average is being used and not the specific league average. Positions with negative RAA are in red; positions with +/- 20 RAA are bolded:
Washington led the NL in infield RAA, with excellent performances from first base and shortstop. The Desmond-led shortstops stood out enough to lift the Nats to the NL lead in middle infield RAA, and they just missed leading in corner infield RAA as well. The worst production from corner infielders in the NL was a dead heat between the Phillies and the Marlins. Miami joined Cleveland and Seattle as the only teams with -20 RAA performances from both first base and left field.
St. Louis and Milwaukee boasted the top two outfields in the NL; the Brewers had the best production from corner outfielders in the majors, but St. Louis' average production in center field gave them a higher composite RAA. Cincinnati's offense was a conundrum, ranking fourth to last in the league in park adjusted R/G. Their component performance was better than that, but even so one might have expected more than a composite 20 RAA from their positions. The Reds' center fielders were dreadful, though. Leading the majors in first base RAA may seem surprising at first glance, but much of Frazier's hot stretch came as Votto's replacement (884 OPS in 149 PA). Pittsburgh's middle infielders ranked last in the NL, but at just -15 RAA. Houston was last in the majors in corner outfield RAA and their center fielders were only one run worse than Cincinnati's for a total of -75 outfield RAA, 29 runs worse than the next sorriest outfit. That outfield belonged to the Cubs, who were also last in the NL in corner infield and overall infield RAA.
San Francisco's offense was a wonderful example of above-average balance plus the MVP, enough to rank third in the league in RAA. Chase Headley powered the Padres to the NL's highest corner infield RAA.
New York led the majors in middle infield and overall infield RAA. Boston's outfield was the worst in the AL, and just two above average positions speaks to how poorly their season went. The amount of red on this chart is fairly staggering given the extent to which the media still hypes the difficulty of pitching in the AL East.
Detroit's much-hyped duo contributed a whopping 90 RAA to lead corner infielders, but the black hole at second base gave 27 runs back, and the lack of any other standout positions aside from center once again reinforce just how stupid it was to mention "1,000 runs" and this team in the same sentence. Their corner outfielders were last in the AL in RAA. Minnesota was last in the majors in middle infield RAA, while Cleveland achieved the same with their corner infielders. In fact, despite Detroit's 90 corner infield RAA, the division combined for -11 RAA from corner infielders as only Chicago got above-average production from either position.
Los Angeles led the AL in corner outfield RAA and the majors in total outfield RAA. The lack of offense in Seattle is as predictable as the rain and the votes for liberals, but marveling at it never gets old (unlike the other constants of Seattle life). Their corner outfielders were last in AL RAA and their infielders last in the majors. Only their catchers, led by John Jaso, were above average.
The full spreadsheet is available here.
Switching gears to some technical explanation, the position adjustments I am now using are based on comparing each position's RG to the overall major league average. Previously, the adjustments I used were based on comparing each position to the league average with pitchers removed. The latter comparison is certainly cleaner, but it was inconsistent with how I was actually calculating RAA and RAR, which was comparing each player to the overall league average.
The new method is not perfect either; one could very persuasively argue that pitchers hitting should be removed from the league average for all computations. I've always subscribed to the notion that the league totals for any average-baselined stat should be zero, and that the league average should be the same whether one is comparing players or teams. If you take out pitchers from the league average, but leave them in for teams (and pitcher hitting does factor into actual team offensive output, even if the variance is much lower than for other positions), then you wind up with a league which rates as below average offensively.
Of course, the notion of looking at the leagues as self-contained units made much more sense when they were. Now the AL averages include not only pitchers hitting, but also performances compiled against NL teams. I cling to the notion of separate leagues for computational purposes because the separation is still great enough that it's a better approximation than lumping both leagues together, but both are imprecise.
This is a particular problem for positional adjustments, because the AL average and the NL average include different proportions of pitcher's hitting. In the pre-interleague days, even if one tied themself to using the league average including pitchers, it may have made sense to use a PADJ tied to all positions for the NL and less pitchers for the AL. I choose not to complicate things by using a different set of positional adjustments for each league, especially now that both choices are at least partially incorrect. This imprecision does not cause huge distortion, but I need to disclose it nonetheless.

Hitting by Position, 2012
Offensive performance by position (and the closely related topic of positional adjustments) has always interested me, and so each year I like to examine the most recent season's totals. I believe that offensive positional averages can be an important tool for approximating the defensive value of each position, but they certainly are not a magic bullet and need to include more than one year of data if they are to be utilized in that capacity.

Did you miss me? I have 2+ years of your articles to catch up on.ReplyDelete
I have 2 questions for you:
Do you think pitcher hitting will continue to get worse? And how bad does it have to get for the NL to adopt the DH. We're approaching sub .300 OPS.
Good to see you. Who would have thought that by the time you posted here again, Maryland would be in the Big Ten?ReplyDelete
I don't know if pitcher hitting can get much worse, but given that pitcher hitting has never improved over any appreciable length of time in the entire history of professional baseball, I certainly don't expect it to get any better. I am a big fan of the DH myself, although as long as it remains in the AL I'm not too concerned about what the NL does. There's been speculation that the new interleague format will encourage standardization, and the people who think that standardization would be eliminating the DH are kidding themselves.

About Veils
About Veils
- Aim for the exact shade of your gown, or a shade lighter; avoid anything darker
- For a voluminous look, choose a veil with more than one layer of tulle, or look for one with a lot of tulle gathered along the comb
- Consider pairing a simple, short veil like this one with any longer veil of your choice if you are having a traditional ceremony; wear the shorter veil over your face as you walk down the aisle. Or, shop our collection of veils with blushers
- Try wearing a sparkly pin with your veil. Distinguish your ceremony and reception looks by removing your veil at the reception; let the pin shine!
Where to place
- Fasten veil into your hair at one o'clock (see diagram above); this creates a pretty A-line from head to floor which complements your dress and overall silhouette
- For outdoor (read: windy) ceremonies, consider loosely wrapping veil around one arm, similar to a stole or sash
- Since blusher and birdcage styles vary so much it may be a good idea to consult your hairstylist
Shop by length
How to fasten
- For the most secure hold, fasten your veil by first flipping its comb upside-down (teeth facing up); if you're doing it right the "U curve" of the comb will also curve away from your head
- Gently slide the comb upward so that it grabs a bit of hair and then flip over so that the "U curve" correctly cups the back of your head; wiggle into place
- Hang up your veil when you first receive it to naturally loosen wrinkles
- After a few days, gently steam out remaining wrinkles. DO NOT use an iron; this can discolor or damage the veil
- Store it hung and away from sunlight until your wedding day
still not sure which
veil to wear?

Ubi to publish other Midway games? Doesn't sound like it
Both Ubisoft and Midway have told VG247 today that overnight talk of Ubi scooping up more Midway licenses is far-fetched.

Weave in and out of traffic, engaging in intense vehicular warfare through the winding streets of Barcelona." […]
Midway's Wheelman delayed, demo announced
Kotaku sends word that Midway's Vin Diesel-centric open worlder has hit a snag. Originally scheduled for February 20, it's now dropping exactly one slightly truncated month later on March 20. Fortunately, a pre-release demo has been squeezed out of Midway's emaciated form, though when it'll actually ooze onto Xbox Live and PSN is anyone's guess. […]

Midway Las Vegas Gamer's Day round-up
Midway's Las Vegas Gamer's Day's now been and gone and there are lots of words on the internet about it.

Here's what […]

It's a Feeding Frenzy for Keyword-Rich DomainsBlog Post: February 01, 2010
I've read this article and posts, along with others, and I'm still not sure which direction to go with one of my clients. They rank well for their key phrases, have owned the main domain name for over 10 years, it is strictly their company name with no keywords in it. They own 4-5 extremely keyword rich domain names they purchased 3-6 years ago. Nothing has been done with these names. One of the key phrases is a common term for their product in Europe. I really want to help them use these domain names effectively. I'm not really looking to trick Google or do anything unethical (Although what I am proposing in general may be seen as unetheical). I'm leaning towards a one page site with unique content and product details that is clearly sponsored by my client, maybe even some uniqie articles on the product type, not specifically their patented product. I planned on having it all on the same server, same registrar data, etc. Any thoughts on this? Am I just asking for trouble?

Old Testament
The Old Testament is first of the two divisions of Holy Scripture. It is the writings of the old covenant or agreement and contains law, prophecy, history, poetry, stories, sayings, prayers, letters and symbolical visions to record of God's revelations .
The Orthodox Church also numbers among the genuine books of the Old Testament the so-called apocryphal books, meaning literally the secret or hidden writings. Other Christians put these books in a secondary place or reject completely their being of divine inspiration.
The first part of the Old Testament is called the Pentateuch which means the five books. It is also called the Torah, which means the Law. These books are also called the Books of Moses. They include:
The events described in these books, from the calling of Abraham to the death of Moses, probably took place sometime in the second millennium before Christ (2000-1200 BC).
Although scholars believe that the Law was not written by the personal hand of Moses, and that the books show evidence of being the result of a number of oral and written traditions and time periods, the Church connects the Law with Moses, the great man of God to whom "the Lord used to speak ... face to face, as a man speaks to his friend" (Exodus 33:11).
Historical books
The next set of books cover the history of Israel from the settlement in the promised land of Canaan to the first centuries before Christ. They include:
- Joshua (Jesus Navi)
- Judges
- Ruth
- I Kingdoms (I Samuel)
- II Kingdoms (II Samuel)
- III Kingdoms (I Kings)
- IV Kingdoms (II Kings)
- I Paraleipomenon (I Chronicles)
- II Paraleipomenon (II Chronicles)
- Ezra
- Nehemiah
- Esther
- I Esdras
- II Esdras
- Tobit (Tobias)
- Judith
- I Maccabees
- II Maccabees
- III Maccabees (English Bible )
In the canon of the Orthodox Church, which is generally that of the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, 1 and 2 Samuel are called 1 and 2 Kings, and 1 and 2 Kings are called 3 and 4 Kings. Also, the so-called apocryphal books, listed above after Esther, are considered by the Orthodox as genuine parts of the Bible. The Old Testament apocrypha is a body of writings considered by the non-Orthodox to be of close association with the Bible, but not actually part of its official canonical contents.
The historical books of the Bible were written well after the events described in them actually took place.
Wisdom books
The Wisdom books include Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon, as well as the Wisdom of Jesus, Son of Sirach, also called Ecclesiasticus, and the Wisdom of Solomon from the so-called apocrypha.
- Job
- Psalms
- Proverbs
- Ecclesiastes
- Song of Solomon (Song of Songs or Canticle of Canticles)
- Wisdom of Sirach (Wisdom of Jesus, Son of Sirach, also called Ecclesiasticus)
- Wisdom of Solomon
Although not technically a wisdom book, The Prayer of Manasseh from the so-called apocrypha, is a penitential prayer of the King of Judah, which for the Orthodox is part of the Bible. (It is included in the Great Compline service of the Orthodox Church.)
16 books in the Old Testament are called by the names of prophets, although not necessarily written by their hands. A prophet is one who speaks the word of God by direct divine inspiration, not just one who foretells the future.
Major prophets
Four of the prophetic books are those of the so-called major prophets:
Minor prophets
The books of the 12 so-called minor prophets:
Some Orthodox Churches include:

As a follow up to our previous article regarding Quiznos and the importance of legal representation, the QuiznosSucks.com owner posted his (claimed) financial results from owning a Quiznos franchise:
Topic: How much a Quiznos earns
Posted by: XXXXXXX
Date/Time: in 2005
I am a Quiznos franchisee. Here is a breakdown of how much a franchisee can potentially earn — or not earn.
The figures are not necessarily BAD, I guess I just wish someone gave me these hard figured BEFORE I bought one.
If a store earns $40,000 / month: 7% Royalty $ 2,800 1% Local Advertising $ 400 3% national advertising $ 1,200 20% Labor $ 8,000 29% Food $ 11,600 3% Paper $ 1,200 .3% Accounting/Payroll $ 300 10% Rent/CAM $ 4,000 2.75% Insurance / Misc. $ 1,100 5% repay SBA loan $ 2,000 4.5% misc bills (utilities, etc) $ 1,800 .5% Spoilage $ 200 1% Supplies $ 400 1% Promo Food $ 400 1% Comp Food $ 400 2.9% Credit Card Fee $ 1,160 .4% Coupons $ 160 .5% Food Waste $ 200
No one has any control over %. They are fixed and that is that. So if a store is lucky enough to earn $480,000 annual, the owner can expect to walk away with a profit of
9.4% = $45,120[edit by Ryan Knoll: I believe this should be 7.15% = $34,320 based on the numbers provided]. No one is going get rich off of that. Of course if an owner can get cheaper rent, and increase sales, it will be of great benefit.
The average store seems to be about 1,500 – 1800 sq ft. and the going rate is $17.50 – $30.00 sq ft + $5.50 – $8.00 CAM.
That looks reasonable to me and should be considered by anyone buying an existing or new franchise. People often forget the expense of promos and coupons, credit card fees, insurance, and payroll expenses. The pretty picture the franchise sales rep paints for you often is the "best case" scenario.
Well, you might think, "That's a 18% return on my investment of $250,000! I'll take it!". That's not an accurate reflection of your actual return. Those results assume you are working at the franchise full-time and do not include your or your manager's salary. So, if you think your year's effort is fairly compensated at $45,000, then your real return on your investment is ZERO (actually it's negative because you could be making 4-5% in bonds).

By Nathan Petrashek
Over on Twitter, Jim Breen of Bernie's Crew is terribly impressed with an article by Rob Neyer. It seems Neyer doesn't take kindly to the Cooperstown voting style of MLB.com's Terrence Moore, and Neyer just won't tolerate a baseball writer who won't vote for Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.* Neyer takes Moore to task for his invocation of the so-called "character" clause, asserting that not even the legendary Mickey Mantle, with all his intoxication and womanizing, would have made it in the Hall. To prove his point, Neyer concocts a fictional twenty-year MLB veteran named Joe, whose body begins falling apart in the midst of a wild card race. Joe applies an unknown white substance recommended by a friend for a week to speed his recovery time. Relating "Joe" to Mantle, Neyer asks whether a player who routinely drinks himself into a stupor and shows up for work half-drunk should make the Hall over a player like Joe, who will do whatever he can – steroid use included – to play as well as he can.
As a blogger, I like Jim Breen's work. He's normally a very logical, thorough guy. Which is why I'm shocked that he couldn't see through Neyer's hatchet job.
The "character" clause states that Hall of Fame voters are to consider a player's "integrity, sportsmanship, [and] character" in addition to the player's record, playing ability, and contributions to his teams. It does not assign a weight to any particular factor, though obviously playing ability and records have come to dominate our discussion of what makes a very good player worthy of Cooperstown.
In fact, the character clause is deeply engrained in the Hall of Fame voting process. The battle over the clause was largely settled in its favor way back in 1991, when the Hall of Fame voted to exclude any person on a permanent ineligibility list maintained by the MLB. The rule change was a direct response to the case of Pete Rose, whose Hall of Fame case was otherwise undeniable. As a practical matter, the vote operated as a de facto exclusion on character grounds.
Despite the character clause, the Hall of Fame has its fair share of members with, shall we say, dubious moral records. As Neyer points out, Mickey Mantle was a drunk and a was famous for arriving at the ballpark hung over. Babe Ruth's infidelity didn't stop voters from naming him one of the first inductees in 1936. Orlando Cepeda, who was inducted by the Veteran's Commitee in 1999, has been busted for marijuana possession several times.
But there is an important distinction to be made here. No one has ever argued, to my knowledge, that a player's career was helped by their excessive intoxication, or infidelity, or recreational drug use. The fact that some members did these things does not speak highly of them, but the fact that they were able to succeed in spite of these failings says something about their abilities.
Unlike these human errors, steroids and other similar substances are taken for one reason: to give a player a competitive edge. They're designed to make you faster, stronger, durable. And their roots extend so deeply beneath the numbers of some otherwise Hall-worthy players that it is virtually impossible to create a composite of the player had they not used such substances. Because of the veil of secrecy that surrounds steroid use, there is no meaningful "before" and "after;" no way to tell who a player truly would have been absent the drug use (though some may try). This is the most pernicious thing about baseball's steroid era; even when you know a player was dirty (and figuring even that out is a difficult task), it is impossible to tell how dirty they were.
I, of course, find some sympathy for Neyer's fictional Joe. Hell, I would vote for Joe for the Hall of Fame, if the numbers were there. Should a man's legacy be for all time tainted because of one bad decision, made from noble intentions? But the occasional user does not, by and large, personify what we conjure up when discussing steroids in baseball. Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire were not one-time users who suffered an ethical lapse in the midst of a playoff race. Their alleged use was repeated, sustained, and deliberate; their denials amidst the growing evidence utterly unbelievable.
The most compelling argument that the pro-Hall bunch can muster again analogizes PED users to current Hall of Fame members, but this time the focus isn't on hangovers or weed. It's about amphetamines, stimulants that according to certain reports were rampant throughout baseball well into the first decade of the 21st century. If baseball writers have voted in known amphetamine users, the argument goes, why draw an arbitrary boundary to exclude steroid users?
But pointing out the failings of other Hall of Famers doesn't make a case for the inclusion of PED users. As Joe Posnanski has noted, if we're talking about playing records, the argument that "X player is in the Hall, and so Y player should be too" can be used to justify nearly anyone for inclusion. Pointing out the ethical lapses among current members does nothing more than make the case against inclusion for those members. It does not bolster someone else's case for getting in. No, the current crop of alleged PED candidates – Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire – will have to make their case on their own, regardless of what Ralph Kiner did with some greenies in 1953.
For most of the upcoming Hall of Fame players who have admitted using PEDs (or for whom there exists a sufficient factual basis to conclude that they used), there's no good way to separate what they did from what they put in their bodies. There are, to be sure, some players whose use may have been so fleeting that it should not bar them Cooperstown, but of course we have no idea who those players are. In any event, past history with Bonds and McGwire almost assures that a player's denial will never be believed.
It is a sticky and troubling situation to which there is no good solution. I am thankful that I am not (and probably never will be) a Hall of Fame voter, for they are in the unenviable position of cleaning up the mess the Steroid Era left in baseball's kitchen. And so my only advice is for voters to use both their head and their conscience when evaluating steroid use on their Hall of Fame ballot. The fact that Jeff Bagwell – a clear-cut, no-doubt Hall of Fame player – received only 56% of the vote based largely on unsubstantiated and baseless suspicions of PED use shows the writers need to use their heads more. But for the Bonds and McGwires of baseball, I certainly won't fault guys like Moore for voting their conscience and taking full advantage of the "character" clause.
*Alleged steroid users, the both of them. Nothing has, as with most things steroid-related, been proven.

|Easton Express, 15APR1964, pg 38
Because we all have collateral information surrounding those obituaries and news articles we copy for our records. Let's share them and hope that they benefit someone researching their genealogy.
"Mrs. Harry Gibbs
The funeral of Mrs. Lydia H. Gibbs, of 780 S. Tamiami Drive, Port Charlotte, Fla., formerly of Stewartsville, was held this afternoon in Stewartsville Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Gibbs was the widow of Harry Gibbs.
Rev. Earl D. Davis assisted by Rev. M.H. Loololan, former church pastor, officiated. Interment was in Stewartsville Presbyterian Cemetery. The pallbearers were George Baylor, George Cole, Ernest Hagerty, Frederick E. Hans Jr., James Csovelak and Delroy Smith."
OK...I cheated for this one a little. Since Lydia had a memorial on FindAGrave, I used her birth year (1892) in my search. I found her and her husband, Harry, in the 1930 census with their 3 children, Cora, William and Doris. According to FindAGrave her name was Lydia Hanna Gibbs nee Smith.
Rest in peace Lydia.

The rapid growth of Nuevo Vallarta has resulted in a delightful offering of vacation rentals in every conceivable size, locale and assortment of amenities. Large oceanfront resort condos, private seaside haciendas and golf villas provide family-friendly accommodations with seaside balconies, gourmet kitchens and easy access to sterling golf courses.
With a mix of contemporary and Mayan-influenced designs in a gorgeous natural setting, Nuevo Vallarta has blossomed into one of the most popular, luxury tourist destinations on the Mexican Pacific. Sleek yachts and sailboats line the modern marina with some available for wonderful family excursions to watch the dolphins swim alongside in the Bay of Banderas and Pacific Ocean. From December to March, humpback whales are frequently seen by the pampered "sailors", who mix sightseeing with lunch and drinks on board. Whether you choose a boat tour along the river or rent your own small boat, there's an abundance of sights and experiences to enjoy. Choose from several golf courses – El Tigre and Flamingos are two popular courses to challenge your game. Tour centers provide guided excursions and day trips to surrounding cities, through the mountains and to secluded beaches. You might even try your hand at kite-sailing!
Naturally shopping in this upscale resort includes designer apparel and jewelry, but local handicrafts and fine leatherwork and silver creations are popular, as well. Dining choices cover the spectrum from posh resort steakhouses and beachside seafood to off-the-beaten path Ernestos Good Grub for local color and cuisine. For late night romantic dining outdoors, try the scenic Insu Sky Bar and Pool Lounge. The nightlife in Nuevo Vallarta picks up the wild pulse with everything from elaborate resort and Marina discos to bars and restaurants with a decidedly Latin flair.
For genuine luxury and pampering, your family would certainly enjoy a 5,000-square-foot home with a sparkling pool and even a personal chef available. For couples and families, one to four bedroom beachfront condos place you at the center of activity. Whatever your choice, the privacy, space and complete amenities vacation homes offer benefits you simply won't find in hotel stays.

Readers of this column will recall from last month Sir Birnie, the aristocratic landowner whose bequests used geometry to define his heirs' inheritance. When his first great-grandchild, Emma May, came of age, there was again great excitement. The fortunes of the family had risen and his eldest grandchild, Johanna, had been able to buy out the southern neighbor, so the entire property shown in the original map now belonged to the family—although only after the former neighbor to the south had heavily logged his portion. YZ was now clearly marked and the property extended a full kilometer to the east of the intersection and a half-kilometer to the west.
The new letter read as follows:
My dear first great-grandchild,
With luck, your parents' generation has regained lost land and fortune. To do that, my first grandchild would have had to be an excellent geometer. You, however, have the possibility to capture a vastly larger treasure, enough to put you among the first families of the Kingdom. For this, you will need to be an even more formidable geometer. With that hope in mind, I will call the XR line Euclid and the YZ line Pythagoras in the following map.
Now measure out a point W that is 400 meters to the west of the intersection and E that is 200 meters to the east of the intersection.
If you walk north from the intersection of Euclid and Pythagoras, you will find a large pine P, and if you keep walking you will find a large maple M. Let L be the point of intersection between WM and EP and let R be the intersection between WP and EM. Now draw a "crossing line" through L and R until it reaches Euclid. That is where the treasure lies.
Emma May walked Pythagoras, but found several pines and maples as well as many stumps from the neighbor's logging. She was worried that she wouldn't know where to dig.
After some thought, however, she determined the exact spot where the treasure should be. Where was it and how did she determine the location?

Wow - I didn't realise it was going to be that big! It's a gift for a young member of the family - I think he'll be thrilled as he's a tractor fanatic at 6 years old. A practical gift too. The towel has a smoother upper side so it'll be more comfortable to sit on at the beach. It seems to have a thick absorbent power so no usual skinny beach towel.
Irregular abstract in warm orange with blue, gray and white. Original is 20 X 30 X 1 inches on stretched canvas.
