It seems the third time wasn't the charm, after all.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has officially rejected the Obama Administration's latest attempt to ensure that women with health insurance get access to no-cost contraceptive coverage without violating the rights of religious employers.
The administration issued the rules last Friday. While other groups that oppose abortion and birth control immediately dismissed the proposal, the influential bishops held back, saying only that they "welcomed the opportunity to study the proposed regulations closely."
Now, however, it's clear that this attempt by the administration doesn't clear the bar for the bishops, either.
The proposal calls for insurance companies — rather than religious hospitals, universities or charities — to provide contraceptive and sterilization coverage. But that's not good enough, said a statement from Cardinal Timothy Dolan, president of the conference.
"It appears that the government would require all employees in our 'accommodated' ministries to have the illicit coverage — they may not opt out, nor even opt out for their children — under a separate policy," Dolan said.
He also complained that while the rules seek to accommodate nonprofit religious employers (including churches themselves, which are exempt from the coverage requirement, along with affiliated entities like educational institutions), they don't relieve for-profit employers of the obligation.
"In obedience to our Judeo-Christian heritage, we have consistently taught our people to live their lives during the week to reflect the same beliefs that they proclaim on the Sabbath," said Dolan, referring to owners of non-religious businesses who are suing the federal government because they say the coverage violates their personal religious beliefs. "We cannot now abandon them to be forced to violate their morally well-informed consciences."
Compared with some of Dolan's previous complaints about contraceptive coverage requirements, the latest statement was more measured. "We welcome and will take seriously the Administration's invitation to submit our concerns through formal comments, and we will do so in the hope that an acceptable solution can be found that respects the consciences of all," he said.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is rejecting the latest efforts by the Obama administration to compromise on the thorny issue of contraceptive coverage. That comes after new rules the administration issued last Friday. And it's part of a long-running dispute over the implantation of the Affordable Care Act.
For more, NPR's Julie Rovner joins us in the studio. Hey there, Julie. So, first of all, refresh our memories. What was the administration's proposal last week?
JULIE ROVNER, BYLINE: Well, remember we're entering a world where just about everybody is going to have health insurance. The issue is here is how to insure that women have access to contraceptives coverage, without requiring religious employers - who object to artificial birth control and sterilization - to have to provide it or pay for it. There have been various attempts to find workarounds to this since pretty much the middle of 2010. And the latest, last week, proposed to make it clear, first, that churches themselves will be exempt. And, second, that religious schools, hospitals and charities who hire people of multiple faiths have insurance companies provide the contraceptive coverage separately through a very complicated and convoluted mechanism that would basically keep the religious entities out of having to pay for or arrange or even be involved in it in any way.
CORNISH: And are all these religious entities Catholic?
ROVNER: No. But the Catholics are by far the most influential players in all of this. If you can make the bishops happy, the thinking goes, pretty much everyone else doesn't matter that much.
CORNISH: So what did the Conference of Catholic Bishops have to say?
ROVNER: Well, last week, they were just about the only important group involved in this that didn't say anything at all. That led some to speculate that may be this two and half-year-old fight might be nearing a truce, but apparently not yet. A lengthy statement issued today by the Conference of Catholic Bishops, president Cardinal Timothy Dolan said, quote, "This shows movement but falls short of addressing the U.S. bishop's concerns."
CORNISH: So what in particular, do they still find troubling?
ROVNER: Several things, a big one and this will come as a big disappointment to the administration, is this very complicated way of trying to spare religious hospitals and universities from being involved in providing contraceptive coverage. It turns out the bishops don't even like the idea of their employees automatically having that coverage. Even if the entities don't have to provide it, bishops seem to want to have an explicit opt-out for employees and/or their children.
The bishops are also sticking up for religious corners of for-profit companies which, they correctly point out, these rules don't make any allowance for. There are currently a couple of dozen lawsuits where owners of everything from arts and craft stores to heating and cooling firms are suing because the owners say having to provide contraceptive coverage violates the owners' religious beliefs.
CORNISH: So what happens now?
ROVNER: Well, the administration's rules provide 60 days to take public comment. The bishops say they'll definitely provide comment. And the tone of the statement was definitely more conciliatory than it was for the last round of proposals on this. So it still looks like there could still be a compromise. On the other hand, there are still a lot of lawsuits out there and lots of people predicting this question will ultimately get resolved only by the Supreme Court.

In this alternate universe, there's some kind of system which kicks in after the success of a startup. "Congratulations, you've made billions, you're rich now, but what you've created is so essential to our society that we can't risk it turning into another Comcast, so we're going to run it as a public service which every American gets for free." This would be a very different America.
There's this weird thing in the US where conservatives refuse to believe that the government can do anything well, but also are outraged if you criticize the military or the police. It's as if working for the government is a guarantee of incompetence, but working for the government and carrying a gun is a guarantee not only of competence but also moral superiority. I don't understand it.
But this is just a mental exercise, set in an alternate universe, so humor me. Imagine this alternate-universe America is like Switzerland, where public utilities are run so efficiently that trains arriving three minutes late constitute a political scandal.
So we're in this alternate universe where the US government takes over companies that become so essential to basic everyday life that we can't risk them turning into Comcasts. In this alternate universe, Comcast itself was taken over, and nobody ever has to deal with their shit. It's a different place, but it's a nice place.
The purpose of this mental exercise is to explain JavaScript. Every time a developer from some other language dives into JavaScript, they freak out at the chaos. You can import specific language features from a spec which has not yet been actualized. There's multiple different package managers. You use them to install each other. There's more than one
require() syntax, but there's also really no
require() syntax at all.
This chaos occurs because JavaScript, which was born in chaos anyway, operates by allowing its open source communities to develop solutions for failings in the language, and then folds some of those solutions up into the language itself. ES5 turned jQuery into
querySelector; ES6 adopted
import becomes viable, but not disappear immediately).
Most language communities don't operate this way, but most language communities don't have the enormous size or reach that JavaScript does. Everything runs JavaScript today, and every programmer uses it. Go on a job ads site and search for "JavaScript" — you'll see ads for jobs in every programming language that exists, with a little bullet point that says "oh btw you also need javascript," far more often than you'll see jobs that are about JavaScript. Getting a group as colossal as the JavaScript user base to agree on hypothetical descriptions of their needs, or hypothetical solutions, would be incredibly difficult. Letting this massive "community" splinter into subgroups and compete is a better solution.
I'm not saying it isn't messy. I'm just saying there's a reason.

Lancaster changes
The Lancaster County Parks and Recreation summer swim team program is undergoing exciting changes for the summer season.
The Lancaster County recreation swim program will be divided into two teams, the Lancaster Makos and the Lancaster Tigers.
Dividing the team will help with the length of the swim meets and will help with having equal competition among teams.
The Makos colors are black and gold and the Tigers colors are black and orange.

Netscape Server Application Programming Interface (NSAPI) is a set of C functions for implementing extensions to the server. These extensions are known as server plug-ins.
Using NSAPI, you can write plug-ins and filters to extend the functionality of Web Server. An NSAPI plug-in defines one or more Server Application Functions (SAFs). You can develop SAFs for implementing custom authorization, custom logging, and other modifications to how Sun Java System Web Server handles requests. For more information, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 3 NSAPI Developer's Guide.
The file obj.conf contains instructions (known as directives) that tell the server how to process requests received from clients. Each instruction is enacted either during server initialization or during a particular stage of the request-handling process. Each instruction invokes a SAF.
For example, the following instruction is invoked when the request method is GET and the requested resource is of type text/html. This instruction calls the append-trailer function with a trailer argument of
Served by 7.0
. The append-trailer function returns the requested resource to the client, in this case an HTML file, and appends the given trailer to it.
Service method=GET type="text/html" fn=append-trailer trailer= "
Served by 7.0
"
Web Server has a set of predefined SAFs. It also has a library of NSAPI functions for developing your own SAFs to modify the way the server handles requests. For more information about predefined SAFs, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 3 Administrator's Configuration File Reference . For more information about custom SAFs, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 3 NSAPI Developer's Guide.
The obj.conf file is essential for the operation of the server. If this file does not exist, the server cannot access instructions for how to handle requests. When defining new SAFs, include the header function nsapi.h (which is in install_dir/include) to have access to all NSAPI functions.
To load new NSAPI plugins containing customized SAFs into the server, add an Init directive to magnus.conf to load the shared library file that defines the new SAFs. This directive must call the load-modules function, which takes the following arguments:
shlib— The shared library to load.
funcs— The functions to be made available to the server.
See the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 3 NSAPI Developer's Guide for more information about the following topics:
Directives in obj.conf and how they determine how the server handles requests
NSAPI functions available for writing custom SAFs
Writing custom SAFs
Loading custom SAFs into Sun Java System Web Server by adding an Init directive to magnus.conf that calls load-modules
For more information about the predefined SAFs that are included with Web Server, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 3 Administrator's Configuration File Reference.

Iron Age bronze helmet found on Canterbury farmland
A rare Iron Age helmet unearthed by a metal detector enthusiast on farmland near Canterbury has been described as a significant find by the British Museum.
The bronze helmet was found with bone fragments, and had been used to hold human remains after a cremation, Canterbury Archaeological Trust said.
The finder contacted archaeologists because he was confident he had made a significant discovery, the trust said.
University of Kent experts have found it dates back to the 1st Century BC.
Andrew Richardson, finds manager at the trust, said the person who found the helmet wanted to remain anonymous.
Registered as treasure
A brooch that would have fastened a bag holding the cremated bone was also unearthed, he said.
Julia Farley, Iron Age curator at the British Museum, said it was one of a handful of Iron Age helmets found in Britain.
She said it was not unusual to bury cremated remains in a bag fastened with a brooch in late Iron Age Kent.
But she said: "No other cremation has ever been found accompanied by a helmet."
She added: "The owner of this helmet, or the people who placed it in the grave, may have lived through the very beginning of the story of Roman Britain."
Dr Steven Willis, senior lecturer in archaeology at the University of Kent, said laser-scanning technology had been used to analyse the helmet and establish details of its manufacture, decoration and use.
He said: "The secrets of this helmet are only just beginning to emerge but we will know much more as the work progresses."
Dr Willis also said more or less intact helmets of the era were very rare finds.
He said one was known of in Belgium that had also been used as a cremation container.
The objects have been registered as treasure, reported to the coroner, and will remain at the British Museum, the university said.
But academics said it was hoped Canterbury Museum would be able to acquire the finds so they could be permanently displayed in Kent.

There are no products in your shopping cart.
In this incandescent novel, a family's superpowers bestow not instant salvation but the miracle of accepting who they are. "Okay, tell me which you want," Alek asks his cousin at the outset of What the Family Needed. "To be able to fly or to be invisible." And soon Giordana, a teenager suffering the bitter fallout of her parents' divorce, finds that she can, at will, become as invisible as she feels. Later, Alek's mother, newly adrift in the disturbing awareness that all is not well with her younger son, can suddenly swim with Olympic endurance. Over three decades, in fact, each member of this gorgeously imagined extended family discovers, at a moment of crisis, that he or she possesses a supernatural power. But instead of crimes to fight and villains to vanquish, they confront inner demons, and their extraordinary abilities prove not to be magic weapons so much as expressions of their fears and longings as they struggle to come to terms with who they are and what fate deals them. As the years pass, their lives intersect and overlap in surprising and poignant ways, and they discover that the real magic lies not in their superpowers but in the very human and miraculous way they are able to accept, protect, and love one another.

More than three years after the crisis: Almost Half of Argentina's Population Still Lives in Poverty
The current situation in Argentina, in terms of its population quality of life, continues to be very difficult. 44.3% of Argentinians live in poverty (all those families and individuals with revenues lower than 50% of the net average income) and approximately 17% is considered indigent. Three years after the unprecedented economic, political and institutional crisis lived by Argentina there is still a long ways to go.
Mission Chief Action Against Hunger in the Country: "Although some political stability as well as an economic stimulus have been achieved, recovery of the de-structured social weaving requires time and much broader efforts. First and third world indicators co-exist in Argentina, which draw an economic and social frame of inequality when it comes to access to basic rights and services, essential to majority of the population, with the northeast and northwest being the areas most punished. This situation continues to negatively impact mainly food security and the population's health." — Barbara Mineo, Mission Chief, Action Against Hunger Argentina
Anemia: The hidden hunger
The poorest homes are the most affected. 74% of children ranging in ages from 0 to 14 years old is poor and almost half live in settlements, villages or neighborhoods without the required infrastructure. According to Action Against Hunger Nutritional Surveys, between 40% and 60% of these children suffer from anemia (iron deficiency) which seriously impact the nervous system development as well as their physical growth while monopolizing their potential and future as adults.

Every fanbase has their envies. Houston Texans fans tend to envy teams who have nose tackles of size. That isn't unusual. Pretty much every team would like to have the next Haloti Ngata, a 6'4″ 350 lb demand-a-double-team, massive strong guy in the middle of their defense. But he's a pretty unique talent, and if he were easy to find, every team would have that guy.
In the interesting draft watch series that Alan Burge is doing, he focused on the Texans defensive tackle position in his Dontari Poe post. As he notes, most fans thought the Texans defensive tackles were too small for the position and Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips disagreed. Though the defense played very well last year, the defensive tackle position was not one that anyone identified as a Pro Bowl spot for the Texans.
NFL Draft Analyst Mike Mayock believes that this is a strong draft for defensive tackles in the first round, with around 6 that he gives first round grades. He believes 4-5 may go in the first round. Using unofficial measurements, there's only a few ranked roughly in the top 10 that are plus 320 lb range: Memphis junior Dontari Poe and Washington Senior Alameda Ta'amu.
I joked on Twitter that if the Texans drafted a defensive tackle of size in the first three rounds, I would try to arrange a cheeseburger lunch meetup for Texans fans. Because it seems that whatever is the pet thing that Texans fans want for their team, it never happens. Pre-Wade, the Texans have had some unfortunate drafts involving the defensive tackle position, and the only one of size was Frank Okam drafted in the 5th round in 2008, and was waived before Phillips came to the team.
Do you want the Texans to draft defensive tackle? A look at the Texans run defense.
The Texans ended the year ranked 2nd in total defense, 3rd in passing defense and 4th in rushing defense. Specific to the rush, teams averaged 96 yards rushing against the team. The 49ers led the league with 77.2 yards rushing against, followed by the Ravens (92.6 yards), and the Dolphins (95.6). Most fanbases would be happy to be in the top 5 in all three defensive categories.
When you read the following, don't get me wrong. I would like a top 5 performance in all three defensive categories every single year. But in the spirit of continuous improvement, knowing that numbers can sometimes not tell the whole story and finding truths where they can be found, here's a little more info….
The Football Outsiders website finds total defensive yards to be somewhat misleading. All sorts of factors can go into total yard stats so they look at play to play efficiency, also taking into account opponent strength. Even so, their rank of the Texans rush defense is 6th overall.
Interestingly, if you look to game to game premium stats, the rush defense is all over the place. Against some bad/inconsistent offenses, the Texans had some extremely strong performances against the run which is some ways on average balanced out some poor run defense performances against other teams. According to the Football Outsider's premium numbers:
Above Average Rush Defense Performances
Oakland, Baltimore, Tennessee both times, Cleveland, Jax 2nd, Indy 2nd (Hello AFC South!)
Below Average Rush Defense Performances
Indy 1st, Miami, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Jax 1st, Tampa Bay, Carolina
As a basis of comparison, the 49ers with the best run defense in the NFL had only two below average rushing performances, both were the last two games of the regular season after they already clenched their division.
What my eyes say.
I think the premium numbers confirm what my eyes say. It seemed to me that in some game situations, teams could run against the Texans but sometimes gave up on the run because they were behind in games. Or that the Texans defense was able to force a turnover or long field position that made running difficult. Or stopped the run just enough to get teams to stop running.
Would one of the players in this draft be a difference maker at defensive tackle? A guy that Wade Phillips could transform into a Pro Bowler? I don't know. Defensive tackle can be a hard position to excel quickly at, but the ones that do are special. At the bottom of this article, there's a list of various Wade Phillips defensive tackles. You see someone in this draft that would be an upgrade? As I've said, I really don't have a strong feel for this draft. Maybe things get clearer with the combine.
What I do know is that I want to hear your opinion on this. And also, if I were to arrange a meetup for cheeseburgers, what special places would you suggest in a central Houston location? I don't eat cheeseburgers often, but when I do, I want them to be spectacular. Quality bun, quality meat, and I am unable to resist grilled onions and mushrooms. Places that do 1/2 and 1/2 fries and onion rings with the cheeseburger are a good thing too as an quality accompaniment, though I do not want to become a blogger of size.
I just made myself hungry. Maybe you too? Sorry about that.


text: Air Conditioner Replacement Made Simple with the Experts from Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning Sometimes you just know when it's time to get something done. You may not want to completely acknowledge it, but the time has come to face the truth: your home's air conditioner replacement is imminent. Do not fear, Service Experts is here to make the process go quickly and smoothly. So how do you know when air conditioner replacement is the right decision? Well, we have a few thoughts to consider when you think it may be time to replace your AC: Is your AC more than 8 years old? If so, it could be operating at a much less efficient rate than new money-saving models available now, and monthly payments on a more energy efficient system may outweigh annual repair costs on the old one. Air conditioners that are more than 15 years old generally cause your AC repairs to be more costly and frequent due to the elimination of its R22 refrigerant and as parts deteriorate. Why pay more to fix an old system when the parts are outdated or potentially unavailable? Relying on routine AC repair can cost a fortune in the long run and in the end your AC is not as efficient as it could be. New technology, rebates, and our our easy financing programs may work together to make the monthly cost of a new system close to, equal to, or possibly greater than the utility savings you may experience. In other words, the new system may pay for itself in energy savings. No matter your budget, Service Experts has an air conditioner that will fit your comfort and efficiency needs. Whether you need the latest, greatest, highest-efficiency model or a basic upgrade, we're more than happy to help you decide what makes the most sense for you and your home. Air conditioner replacement can be stressful and a big undertaking, but with the helpful and caring assistance from the folks at Service Experts you don't need to feel overwhelmed. Go ahead and schedule a free appointment with us and we can help get the process started and provide you a free estimate. Whether you prefer the online scheduler, or giving us a call at 866-397-3787, we're more than happy to help make your home the most comfortable it has ever been with our FREE custom comfort analysis.

This is a ready to print eps file for my CNC steampunk goggles. You can find more details, 3d and 2d cad files, photos, and a full list of materials at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3448
To complete the design you will need the parts list I put up on Thingiverse. This requires 3d prints which can be purchased here http://www.shapeways.com/shops/gianteye
I cut my design out of the Ponoko natural russett leather. I then cleaned off the laser cut edges with rubbing alcohol, dyed the leather, conditioned it with neatsfoot oil, and began to stitch. The leather is fairly hard so you'll want to flex it a good bit with your hands to soften it up before sewing.
Good luck!

A New York restaurant manager is waiting on singer Ne-Yo to hand over $800 after he reportedly left the eatery without settling his bill.
The R&B star headed for an evening out with a group of pals at Manhattan nightspot Negril earlier this month, and they racked up a large bill for drinks and food.
But bosses of the restaurant are still waiting for the star to settle the $800 check after he walked out without paying, according to the New York Daily News.
The publication alleges the venue's manager even followed Ne-Yo to a nearby club to recoup the cash but the bill has still not been paid.
A source tells the newspaper, "Someone in the group promised they'd be back tomorrow to pay up."

28th Annual Ma & Pa Kettle Days held
LaVern and Vivian Larson honored as Ma and Pa Kettle
The 28th Annual Ma and Pa Kettle Days officially kicked off with the Friday night Kettle River Fire Department Steak Fry held at the firehouse. Steak cooked to order along with slaw, garlic bread, and baked potatoes had everyone anticipating the dinner. As usual, there was a long line. About 500 steak meals were served.
Following the steak fry, the Miss Kettle River 2012 coronation was held in the American Legion Hall. The master of ceremonies was Cathy Rudebeck. She presented the candidates and their escorts — Joyce Zanol and Brendan Wilson, Bridget Standage and Eli Plews-Keinanen, and Alexis Metso and McKayla Lentsch.
Each of the candidates were asked a question:
– Zanol: "What do the Olympics symbolize?"
"They symbolize communities, people join together to have a good time and show their skills," said Zanol.
– Metso: What is your best experience in running for Miss Kettle River?
"Selling the buttons, I've been seeing all kinds of people I haven't seen for a long time. I get to wear this cool skirt for dancing," said Metso. (She sold 236 buttons.)
– Standage: What kind of new business would you bring to Kettle River? "
A grocery store. You have to drive seven miles to buy bread and milk. We need a store," said Standage.
Honored in the Ma & Pa Kettle Days parade as grand marshal was Violet Heiskari. She is a longtime resident of Automba and was a co-founder with Bernice Leino of the Kettle River Days celebrations.
Named Ma and Pa Kettle were LaVern and Vivian Larson. They recently celebrated their 60th anniversary. The Larsons moved to the Kettle River area in 1966. Vivian was employed at the Moose Lake State Hospital first as a tech, then as an LPN, and lastly in the recreation area. She is well known for her interest in art and as a water color artist. She takes part in the annual Autumn Winds artists tour. Vern was employed as a full-time mechanic at the Moose Lake Coop Station.
Winners of the 5 and 10K walk and run were:
– Men: Kyle Smith of Wright, 34.08 minutes, 10K Run; Mick Koenig of Floodwood, 17.39 minutes, 5K Run; Gordon Beck of Moose Lake, 45.32 minutes, 10K Walk.
– Women: Jaclyn Granfars of Kettle River, 56.31 minutes, 10K Run; Kelly Pechous of Hastings, 20.38 minutes, 5K Run; tie, Chantel Peterson of Moose Lake and Brenda Harteau of Saginaw.

Name: Melissa Lynn Riedell, 15
Found: On own bed
Agency: Colorado Springs Police Department
Date killed: March 7, 1986
Cause of Death: Strangled and stabbed repeatedly
Suspect: None identified
Diana Ladd called her daughter Melissa Riedell at 2 p.m. on March 7, 1986, to make sure she was getting ready for an appointment with a psychologist.
When she unlocked the front door of her apartment at 4750 Nightingale Dr. in Colorado Springs an hour later, and walked into her daughter's room, her girl was sprawled out on her bed with a knife sticking out of her chest.
"It was horrifying," said Ladd, 65, who recently retired in Menifee, Calif., from a career in education and health care.
Ladd said she tried to pull the steak knife out of her daughter's chest but she couldn't. She called police and said she thought her daughter may have killed herself.
What followed would add to her trauma. She learned that she was the primary suspect and eventually had to take a lie detector test to clear herself.
An autopsy revealed a ligature mark around Melissa's throat, according to Colorado Springs police. A news story at the time said police believed the killer used an elastic tube top, which was found at the scene, to strangle her.
Melissa had been stabbed multiple times, police say.
There was also no indication of sexual assault, authorities say.

CDN ProAccurate Quick Tip Waterproof Pocket Thermometer, $18This one is small enough to stash in a drawer; when you're ready to use it, make the handle longer by snapping the sheath onto the back end.
Taylor Connoisseur Digital Instant-Read Thermometer, $20Another traditional model that aced our tests: the Taylor Connoisseur Digital Instant-Read Thermometer, which has a prominent display for easier reading.
Maverick Voice Alert Thermometer, $30Program the Maverick Voice Alert Thermometer to tell you when your beef reaches a certain temperature or degree of doneness. The tool also gives you incremental alerts to let you know when there are, say, 20 minutes of cooking time to go. How it's set up: The probe sits inside the meat and the wire connects it to the "brains" of the gadget, outside the oven.
Acu-Rite Wireless BBQ Thermo-Timer, $50The Acu-Rite Wireless BBQ Thermo-Timer is similar to the Maverick, but it doesn't "talk." It does, however, come with a portable pager that goes off when the "done" alert sounds — so you don't have to stay near the stove while the chicken is roasting (you can rove up to 100 yards away).
Taylor Weekend Warrior Digital Fork Thermometer, $18Stick the Taylor Weekend Warrior Digital Fork Thermometer into a thick steak without getting your hands near the grill's hot surface. Plus, the sturdy prongs can double as a barbecue fork.

Hickey, Lawson, Hanson Also Earn All-Ivy Recognition
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The Yale University baseball team placed four players on the All-Ivy League Team, and senior captain Chris Piwinski (Folsom, Calif./Jesuit) was named to the All-Ivy League First Team, the League announced on Thursday.
In a vote of the Ivy League's head coaches, junior starting pitcher David Hickey (Darien, Conn./Darien) and freshman third baseman Brent Lawson (Newport Beach, Calif./Corona Del Mar) were named to the All-Ivy League Second Team, while junior shortstop/relief pitcher Cale Hanson (Katy, Texas/Katy/Loomis Chaffee) was an All-Ivy League Honorable Mention selection.
Piwinski, Yale's captain and primary catcher in 2013, appeared in 36 games with 34 starts behind the plate. He hit .262 overall with 27 hits in 103 at-bats, including two doubles, nine RBIs and eight runs scored. However, he excelled in Ivy League play, batting .339 (20-for-59) with six runs, a double and three RBIs, while recording a .992 fielding percentage behind the plate. That performance against Ivy League competition helped Piwinski earn his first career All-Ivy accolade.
"This is a well-deserved honor for Chris," Yale head coach John Stuper said. "He was a force on defense beyond his throwing arm. He handled the pitching staff extremely well and really stepped up offensively this year."
Hickey also earned his first All-Ivy honor after posting a 4-2 overall record with a 2.15 earned run average with a team-best 35 strikeouts. He also lifted was at his best against Ivy League competition. He was 3-0 against Ivy opponents with a 0.00 ERA with two shutouts, three complete games and one save. Of his 35 strikeouts this season, 30 came against Ivy League hitters.
"If you would have seen David's first two starts, you would not have thought that this award would have been possible," Stuper said. "He persevered and turned in a brilliant season. Not giving up an earned run in League play is a remarkable achievement. I look forward to him being with us for another year."
Lawson appeared in 37 games with 35 starts, including 30 at third base, in his rookie season at Yale. Among the team's regular starters, Lawson was second in hitting (.281, 36-for-128), slugging (.336) and total hits (36), with a team-high seven doubles. He also had 13 RBIs and 17 runs scored. Against Ivy League competition, Lawson led the Bulldogs with a .361 batting average (26-for-72), with four doubles and 11 of his 13 RBIs.
"Brent is one of the great young players in our league," Stuper said. "He was playing a new position (3B) and he just got better and better. He got better and better at the plate as well. Hitting .361 in Ivy League play speaks for itself."
Hanson, Yale's captain next season, was the Bulldogs' starting shortstop in each of his first two seasons, but an injury limited his role this season and he spent most of the time in the bullpen as one of the team's top relievers. Overall, he was 1-2 in 12 appearances this season with two saves and a 3.79 ERA. In Ivy League play, Hanson was 1-1 with one save and a 2.25 ERA, picking up 11 of his 16 strikeouts.
"Cale had a tough year," Stuper said. "I felt going into the season that he was simply the best player in our league. He broke his wrist and could not hit or play the field. He was disappointed to be sure, but he concentrated all his efforts on helping us on the mound. He was sometimes dominant and always dependable. He will go back to the field next year, but his pitching days are certainly not over."
It is the second straight season that Hanson was honored by the Ivy League. He was an All-Ivy League Second Team selection last season.

New Home Sales Rebound In March
New home sales have rebounded strongly indicating home building activity will remain strong this year.
New homes sales rose 8.9 per cent in March, following a 5.3 per cent fall in February, according to the Housing Industry Association.
Detached house sales jumped 7.0 per cent, while multi-unit sales leapt 16.3 per cent in March. HIA economist Diwa Hopkins said the positive result was consistent with Australian Bureau of Statistics building approvals data in previous months.
"The current level and trajectory of new home sales and approvals provides a strong signal that new home building activity in 2016 will remain strong," Ms Hopkins said.
"Tuesday's cut to the (Reserve Bank's) official cash rate (to 1.75 per cent) will also provide additional support to the residential construction sector."
Sales of detached homes rose in Queensland, Western Australia, NSW and Victoria in March, with Queensland the strongest market, recording a 13.2 per cent rise in detached house sales.
SA was the only mainland state to post a decline in March, with sales falling 6.9 per cent. While new home sales in the March quarter increased 2.8 per cent over the December 2015 quarter, they were 1.7 per cent lower than the March quarter of 2015.
The HIA report said Victoria recorded the strongest growth in detached house sales over the March quarter - up 11.2 per cent on the previous quarter. SA recorded the biggest drop in quarterly detached house sales with a 5.7 fall, while NSW was down 4.0 per cent.

So how are those New Year's resolutions working out?
You know. Joining the gym. Paying off those credit card bills. Unloading a yearlong load of accumulated stress like Christmas morning's wrapping paper?
Broken? All of 'em? Already?
Yeah. Us, too.
But 2014 is still just a screaming infant, metaphorically speaking, and there's still time for us to work up a "Resolutions 2.0" list. And this time, we're going to ignore all of those unrealistic, overly broad resolutions we made the first time around — seriously, how would we ever find time to get to the gym? — and, instead, focus on a few simple, easy-to-remember and easy-to-do things that'll actually fit into our daily lives.
For help, we asked a few experts for a bit of advice. If you follow their suggestions — and, seriously, you can — you're sure to end 2014 a bit healthier, a bit wealthier and a bit less stressed-out than you are today.
Both are common resolutions and worthwhile, says Joanna Gorman, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator at University Medical Center in Las Vegas.
Problem is, they're both pretty broad, pretty mushy and pretty overwhelming to accomplish. So forget the weight-loss books, the obsession with counting calories and the rigid diet programs.
Instead, buy a scale. A good one can be had for $10 or $15, Gorman says, and each day, first thing in the morning, get on that scale and see how much you weigh.
But here's the thing: Don't fret over a pound or two gained or lost from day to day. Instead, Gorman says, use your daily weigh-in to detect trends. If you notice that your weight is trending upward, it's time to take action. If you notice that it's skewing lower, congratulate yourself and keep it up.
This way, you can deal with problems before they spiral out of control.
Gorman notes that many of her clients don't even realize that they have gained weight until they're 8, 9 or 10 pounds over what they should be. Stopping the trend at 5 pounds is more manageable.
Now, to get those numbers where you want them to be, resolve to make better food choices during 2014. Begin, Gorman says, by simply eating one fruit and one vegetable every day. A banana purchased at a convenience store. A carrot munched on at lunch. A microwaved bag of something or other (but avoid canned veggies, Gorman adds, because they tend to be high in sodium).
"I ask people, 'How many fruits and vegetables did you have yesterday?' and the No. 1 answer I get, usually, is 'zero,'?" she says.
After adding one fruit and vegetable a day, people may discover it's not that difficult and work up to the multiple recommended daily servings of each.
Finally, begin to take better control of everyday dining choices. Try, Gorman suggests, reducing your portion sizes a smidgen — some people find that dining off of smaller plates helps — avoiding fried foods and fast foods, and making simple lower-calorie substitutions for sugary, high-calorie sodas and juices.
Gorman notes that cutting just 100 calories a day out of your diet will mean 10 pounds lost a year from now.
"The No. 1 issue I work with the most is overstressed people or people who are not managing stress," says Donna Wilburn, a licensed marriage and family therapist.
Stress can affect one's health, one's job and one's family relationships, she says. And, certainly, signing up for a yoga or meditation class is one way of trying to reduce stress during the coming year.
But here's a simple option: Set aside 15 minutes each day to consciously relax.
Wilburn says guided imagery programs can be found for free on YouTube, and guided imagery apps also are available for smartphones. The systematic instructions found in such programs — to imagine yourself on a beach, to breathe deeply, to let your muscles relax — can put one into "a very healthy, relaxed state," Wilburn says, "and now you can address those things like kids and work."
As an alternative, find a quiet spot — a bathroom with the door closed, for instance — close your eyes and just breathe, rhythmically, slowly and deeply, for 15 minutes.
Wilburn says some of her clients protest that they don't have time to take advantage of a stress-reduction break each day. But doing so will allow for greater productivity and focus, while a stressed-out brain, in contrast, "can be distracted, disorganized and frustrated."
Purchase a gym membership and burn up the treadmill if that's what works for you. But Sharon Jalene, a lecturer in the University of Nevada, Las Vegas' Department of Kinesiology and Nutrition Sciences, notes that even a moderate increase in daily physical activity can bring about major health benefits.
So: Walk just a bit more each day.
Begin by walking 2,000 more steps every day. Jalene says the average person walks about 5,000 steps a day, and adding 2,000 could translate to a loss of about 8 pounds over a year's time.
So take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park farther away from the mall entrance. Take a stroll around the block, or around the parking lot at work during your lunch hour.
Or, walk the dog twice a day. Jalene notes that, because dog owners tend to be more physically active than nonowners, "one of the best things you can do is buy a dog."
You don't even have to walk the extra 2,000 steps all at once. "They can be broken into intervals of five minutes at a time," Jalene says.
Some walkers find that wearing a pedometer provides an incentive to track and then increase their daily step total. If you're a gadget fan, similar devices can connect with smartphones or laptops and allow walkers to share their step totals with one another. Walking with, or competing with, others can make walking fun.
Eventually, you may feel moved to increase your step count to 10,000 each day, which would offer greater protection against cardiovascular problems and even some cancers, Jalene says.
"Walking is brilliant," Jalene says. "There is a lot of good research that says walking 150 minutes a week will help to decrease massive health risks."
The trick to keeping a resolution to exercise comes down to finding a physical activity that you enjoy, Jalene adds. "A lot of people think 'exercising' means going to the gym and getting on a treadmill. But maybe you hate the treadmill, so it's not going to be successful for you.
"So find something you enjoy. Maybe you enjoy dancing to AC/DC in the living room, or going to Zumba class. Make it social. Play with the kids in the park. Sometimes we don't even think of things as being exercise, but they are, in fact, movement, and we are designed to move."
Here's the thing: It took you a while to get into debt or to create (or not start) that anemic retirement account, so don't expect to completely resolve things over the course of, even, a full year.
But you can start in 2014.
Begin by tackling your credit card debt, says Deborah Danielson, a certified financial planner.
Consumers often "pay the minimum payment and they're going nowhere," she says. "So you just need to make a resolution to add to it and to keep paying down more than the minimum."
How to free up a few extra bucks to do that? Start by simply taking a look at where your money is going right now.
"It's a few less Starbucks, a few less pizzas and takeout and maybe cooking at home a little more often," Danielson says. "It's maybe nixing some of your entertainment and doing some movies at home."
One simple change: Brown bag it to work. That $8 a day not spent on fast-food lunches will give you close to $2,000 a year from now that could be redirected toward your credit card debt.
Or, Danielson says, find a part-time job and devote all of the money you earn to your debt.
"Those are simple things that give you extra money," Danielson says.
Also take a look at expenses you may not even realize you're paying. For example, look at your cable TV package and your cellphone plan to see if the features you're paying for are worth it.
So now that your simple efforts are saving a few bucks, and you're putting extra money toward retiring your credit debt, don't forget to invest for your future, too.
A key, but easily made, change: "If you have a 401(k) match at work, figure out ways to at least put aside enough to earn the match," Danielson says.
A 401(k) match is "free money," she adds.
Sign up for automatic payroll deductions that will direct money directly into retirement accounts and, if you're saving for the kids' education, college accounts. "That way you set yourself up to win, not to fail," Danielson says.
Most of us tend to deal with medical or health issues as they arise. But New Year's is a great time to get a few simple things in order for the coming year.
First, says Dr. Mitchell Forman, dean of Touro University Nevada College of Osteopathic Medicine, take a look at heath-related issues that arose during the past year and make sure your medical insurance is adequate for things that may come up this year.
Address health issues that may be ongoing, Forman says. Schedule any necessary follow-up visits or procedures.
"This includes things like immunizations, screenings and tests that need to be done," Forman says. "And part of that, too, is making the necessary appointments for dental care."
Survey your medicine cabinet to make sure everything's current and that the cabinet is secured from children, Forman says. While you're at it, make a list of medications you take, including dosages for each, and keep it in your wallet just in case.
Finally, Forman says, remember that moderation is a good prescription for just about anything.
For Rabbi Yocheved Mintz of Congregation P'nai Tikvah and other members of the Jewish community, the new year — the year 5774, to be exact — arrived in September with Rosh Hashana.
Still, Mintz says, "for many of us living in a secular world, we get a wake-up call about this time of year to remind us to put ourselves back on track."
Whatever the faith tradition, resolving to reconnect to and strengthen one's spirituality often can begin with simply reminding ourselves to be thankful, Mintz says.
In Judaism, one prayer that is to be offered before getting out of bed gives "thanks to God for returning our souls to us," Mintz notes.
"But the clincher of this particular prayer is the way it ends. It's: 'How great is Your faith,' and 'your" with a capital Y. Not 'How great is my faith in You, but how great is Your faith in me,' which reminds us that God has faith that we have potential. So it's up to us to begin this day to work toward that potential."
"Starting the day with an attitude of gratitude," Mintz says, is "a good and simple way" of incorporating into our daily lives "the strength that the spiritual life can give us."

My 2nd great grandfather and I share the same birthday, albeit some 193 years apart!
Nelson Harris was born in Saratoga Co., NY on July 16, 1822. He and his family moved to Pierpont, OH when he was 11, and then to Indiana in 1837. Few details about those early years are known. They made their way to Manitowoc Co., WI, probably in 1850. Nelson worked as a carpenter in the shipyards there.
Envisioning the lumber and saw-mill business as a profitable venture, he moved his family to Cato, WI (which was once known as Harrisville – named after Nelson), in 1853. He built a saw mill there in 1856, which he continued operating until all the oak was used up. It was the town's first industry. Once established in the lumber and saw-mill business, Nelson began laying away choice pieces of lumber and timbers for building a home in Cato. He meant it to be the finest in all of Manitowoc County. Much more about the Harris home in Cato can be found by clicking the link below.
In 1873, he built a boarding-house and mill in Forest Junction. This was the first business in that town.
Because of the weather, Nelson and his wife, Louisa, moved to Waldo, FL in 1881. He owned a mill in Waldo and spent the rest of his life there.
