ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Scott Baker has found quite a niche with the Texas Rangers, and is winning again after Tommy John surgery.
Baker went five innings in a spot start to win as a starter for the first time in more than three years, helping Texas beat the AL Central-leading Kansas City Royals 3-1 on Sunday to avoid a series sweep.
''It's still special because of the road that I've had to endure as far as injuries,'' said Baker, who earned a win in relief in his previous appearance on Aug. 12. ''It's fun, regardless of whether you're a starter or a reliever. And it's a good team win.''
With Yu Darvish still on the disabled list and Miles Mikolas pushed back a day, Baker (2-3) threw 51 of his 71 pitches for strikes in difficult conditions with the temperature near 100 degrees. The only run on his line was Billy Butler's leadoff homer in the fourth.
''He certainly went beyond the call of duty to have not been out there in 11 days, and to go out there and throw the strikes the way he threw them,'' manager Ron Washington said.
Adrian Beltre put Texas ahead to stay with an RBI double in the first. Beltre had his fifth straight mulithit game, including all three games against Kansas City to extend his hitting streak against the Royals to 17 games.
Baker hadn't pitched since that relief win against Tampa Bay. That was his first victory since a start for Minnesota against Detroit on July 23, 2011, and ended a string of 26 consecutive appearances in losses.
''It's never been an issue, having that many days off from pitching, throwing the ball over,'' he said. ''I've always been able to do that.''
The 32-year-old right-hander missed all of 2012 after elbow surgery. He made three starts for the Chicago Cubs at the end of last season and has started five of his 22 games since joining the Rangers in June. He had made six relief appearances since his last start July 13.
Neftali Feliz worked the ninth for his sixth save in seven chances since reassuming the closer role a month ago after Joakim Soria was traded to Detroit.
Kansas City's Jason Vargas (10-6) allowed 11 hits and walked four in his six innings, but allowed only three runs. The left-hander had walked only one in 25 1-3 innings previously this month.
Texas had five doubles off Vargas, including a run-scoring hit for Adam Rosales in the second. Alex Rios had a leadoff double in the third, and scored on a single by Robinson Chirinos.
Chirinos started after catcher Geovany Soto was a late scratch. The Rangers announced during the game that Soto was traded to Oakland for cash.
Kansas City went 6-3 on its road trip, winning two series and splitting a two-game set. The Royals are 39-29 away from home, matching Baltimore for the AL's best road record. ''Keep winning series, and we're going to be OK,'' manager Ned Yost said.
Baker induced five popups for outs in his first three innings, and one of the hits he gave up was a bloop single. ''We mishit some balls,'' Butler said. ''That's what he thrives on, basically came right at us with fastball, slider. Induced a lot of popups.''
Royals: 1B Eric Hosmer missed his 22nd game because of the stress fracture in his right hand after getting hit by a pitch July 20. He is scheduled for another X-ray Monday when the Royals get home, and that could clear him to start swinging a bat again.
Rangers: LHP Derek Holland, scratched from his scheduled rehab start Sunday because of a muscle spasm in his back, said he was feeling better. Holland hasn't pitched in the majors since left knee surgery during the offseason. He will throw Monday and is set for another start at Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, the last day of his 30-day rehab window.
Royals: Kansas City starts a 10-game homestand on what originally was a scheduled day off Monday. James Shields (12-6) pitches for the Royals against the New York Yankees in the makeup of a game postponed June 9 because of rain. They then have three-game series against Minnesota, Cleveland and Texas.
Rangers: Texas plays Monday night at Seattle in the opener of a 10-game trip before the Rangers play 17 of their last 23 games at home. Mikolas (1-5) starts the opener against the Mariners.

They pay close attention to detail—all details—from seeding rates to fertilizer to marketing. "There isn't one thing you can point to, but they're a little bit better at everything," says Dale Nordquist, University of Minnesota ag economist. "Saving a few cents here and there on costs may not seem like a lot, but when you add that over all inputs, it makes a huge difference," adds Michael Langemeier, an ag economist at Purdue. "We've pored over the data and conclude that it all comes down to management," Nordquist says. Management includes everything from buying inputs to applying them at the proper rates. Every single cost item is lower for the top 20% of producers compared with the bottom 20%, according to data from the Southwest Minnesota Farm Business Management Association. Overall production costs in 2011were $3.45 per bushel for the top 20% , but $5.36 per bushel for the bottom tier of producers. That's nearly a whopping $2 per bushel difference in production costs. The most significant impact on cost of production is yield per acre, which ranged from 139 bu. per acre to 177 bu. per acre. At $6 corn, the top tier brought in $228 more per acre, or, for 1,000 acres, $228,000 more. While top-tier producers grow far more corn per acre at lower costs for each input, seed costs were only slightly lower. Fertilizer, the second highest input in terms of cost, was about $150 per acre for the bottom half but was $118 per acre for the top group. "What blows your mind is that cash rents are lower for the top group," Nordquist says. It's not that the top group is renting inferior ground, but rather that they are better at cultivating long-term relationships and negotiating. "This, too, is part of management," he says. Overall, direct expenses significantly varied, with the bottom end of the group spending $625 per acre and the top 20% spending $553. Total expenses varied from $745 to $611. Returns to labor and management varied by about $450 between the top and bottom ends of the group, specifically $63 and $509 per acre. Common Results. The range in management isn't isolated to Minnesota farmers or corn farmers. Kansas Farm Management Association data from 2011 shows similar results, as does corn enterprise data from 2006–10. A 22% range in machinery costs is due to the fact that the top third of farms are twice as large as the bottom third, Langemeier says. "They simply have more acres to spread machinery investments over." The top third also has lower interest costs, giving them a $5 per acre advantage. When it comes to marketing, the difference was a 24¢ advantage for corn sold by the top Kansas farmers. For 2011, the top 20% had a 46¢ advantage on marketing, according to Minnesota data. Profitable operations are more likely to monitor prices carefully and truck grain longer distances to take advantage of higher prices, Langemeier says. Back to news

GREENVILLE, N.C. (Oct. 10, 2011) – Freshman Grabrielle Wahl (Heidenheim, Germany) finished tied for sixth on the individual leaderboard and junior transfer Chloe Garner (Somerset West, South Africa) posted an impressive 3-under-par 69 to power the ETSU women's golf team on the first day of the Lady Pirate Intercollegiate Monday at the Greenville Country Club.
The event, which was scheduled for two rounds of action on the first day and will conclude with third and final round play on Tuesday, is being led by No. 40 East Carolina. Wahl, Garner and the rest of the Buccaneers finished the day seventh in the team competition, 15 strokes back of ECU.
Individually, Wahl was impressive and finished the day at 2-under 142 (72-70). She is currently three strokes back of UNC Greensboro's Fannie Cnops, who leads the event at 139. Meanwhile, Garner rebounded from a 9-over 81 during the first round to post a season-best 3-under 69 in the day's second round, and finished tied for 31st.
"Gabriella and Chloe had tremendous second rounds out there," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Shelton. "But the team score is based on four people, not just two. We need a solid team effort to make a move on the team leaderboard."
Other ETSU results included a tie for 42nd by sophomore Sian Evans (Gillingham, England). No other ETSU player finished better than a tie for 62nd.
Fans can follow Tuesday's final round live by visiting Golfstat.com for complete results, and ETSUBucs.com will provide a full recap following the day's play. For more on ETSU women's golf throughout the season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's golf link.

In an article on the 10 most dangerous common kite sites in the US, two of them were in the Bay Area (Crissy and Ocean Beach). I thought it might be helpful to beginner/visiting kiters to have a ranking system.
My recommendation is to have a 5-level rank for the launch/landing, one for the on-water kiting difficulty, and one for the overall that includes the above plus other factors such as tides/currents, water temp, wind quality and reliability, self-rescue options, etc.
To make things easier, I'm using a "typical kiting day" for the site ranking, assuming most kiters know that 35+ winds and 15 ft waves aren't typical for any area sites. Kiters need to educate themselves what a typical day for any given site is.
The list is based on the sites listed in the "Bay Area Kiteboarding Locations and Guidelines" forum section. I only rank the ones I've kited.
Launch/On-Water Conditions/Overall Difficulty:
Tomales Bay:
Bodega, Harbor Side: 1/1/1
Bodega Ocean Side: 2/3/4
Crissy: 1/3/5
Ocean Beach:
Treasure Island:
Waddell: 3/4/4
Dillon: 3/4/4
Emery Point: 3/3/3
Larkspur: 1/1/2

When the 2012 Westminster Fallfest celebration kicks off on Thursday night, Sept. 27, with the annual parade, Woody Higgs will be right at the front.
Higgs, along with five other residents representing Special Olympics-Maryland, Carroll County, will carry the Fallfest banner.
"We're really excited," said Donna McGuire, assistant volunteer coordinator for Special Olympics, and Higgs' mother. "This is our first time in Fallfest."
Special Olympics, along with Carroll Hospice, the Taneytown Lions Club and the Stacey Davis Breast Cancer Fund, was selected to be the partners for this year's annual Fallfest. The relationship is one that aids Fallfest, one of the largest celebrations in the county. But it also helps the nonprofits and community organizations, as they reap some of the proceeds from the four-day festival, this year running Thursday through Sunday, Sept. 27-30.
As in past years, each "partner" group agrees to help during the festival with volunteers and planning. This year, volunteers from Special Olympics will run the popular Kids Court, a section of the festival with games and activities for youngsters.
"There will be a lot of activities geared for all different ages," McGuire said, of the plans for Kids Court. "Every child that leaves will get a little prize."
Volunteers, including parents of athletes, will help man the court throughout the festival hours. A few athletes will also be present.
"It's a fantastic opportunity for Special Olympics to get out in the community and show off our athletes," said Sam Hodapp, regional director for Special Olympics of Maryland. "It's going to be a fun time. We're very, very excited."
For athletes Christopher Anderson, Ralph Gemmill and Higgs, being members of the Special Olympics-Carroll County team means more than just competing in their events. While each participates in a variety of sports — including golf, kayaking, sailing, soccer, skiing and swimming — the three enjoy the camaraderie most of all.
"It's his socialization," said Deborah Gemmill, Ralph's mother and therapeutic recreation specialist for Special Olympics. "He was a poster child for Special Olympics in 1983 when he was 10 years old. ... He did all kinds of things across the state. It helped make him the man he is today."
Funds from Fallfest will help the Special Olympics program grow, McGuire said.
"We want to expand the program and get more athletes involved," she said.
Another charity benefiting from Fallfest for the first time will be the Stacey Davis Breast Cancer Foundation.
"We are pleased they selected us to be a part of it," said Jenny Davis, a committee member.
The Stacey Davis Fund provides financial support for breast cancer patients in Carroll County. In the past, the group's main fundraiser has been the Hair Ball, a dance and celebration that is slated to be held this year on Oct. 20. At Fallfest, the group will have grant information available, as well as breast cancer items for sale. The group will also be running the scarecrow tent.
"We will be there nonstop," Davis said. "We are very excited. We are ready with information to hand out."
This year, the Westminster Fallfest brings back many favorite events, including the parade on Thursday night; Midnight Madness on Friday, the Buffalo Wild Wing Eating Contest; a Westminster dog show; and a karaoke contest.
New this year will be the radio station 100.7, The Bay, which will have a remote location set up during Saturday and Sunday. Members of the Fallfest board hope the station's reach will help spread the word far and wide about the glory of Carroll County, and the fun times in Westminster.
"It really (expands) us out of Carroll County," said Jennifer Mellor, assistant director of recreation and parks, of the station's presence. "Its tentacles reach a lot further. That's good."

U.S. Navy
November 15, 1944
Dearest Mom, Dad and Sis:
Well it is 11:30 P.M. and I just got back from my last class. We had a movie, a lecture and some look out practice. Well I've got a few minutes before I will hit the sack so I am a writing again to let you know that I am thinking of you all of the time. I would a lot rather write to you than anyone because I like your letters so darn much. Well I have been trying to write you everything I can and let you know what I am doing, what it is like here etc.
Golly I sure do wish that you could see some of the places that I have seen done some of the things. Gee I'm not kidding you but I am really seeing the sights. Just think. Who would have ever thought 2 years ago that I would be in the Navy and see the
Gulf of Mexico and now I am almost ready to be put on a big ship and see the ocean. It's really something eh? Just think after this war of all the things that I can tell you. About the things that I have done, and where I have been, about the ocean, the big ships, the different ports. Golly!! Oh, I didn't tell you one thing that I did while I was on liberty.
Now don't get mad at me when I tell you. I wasn't a going to tell you, but heck I can tell my folks everything that I do and not be ashamed of it. Well our whole gun crew got together and Saturday when we went into
we all had a tattoo put on us. ha ha. I didn't get a very big one. It's an anchor with U.S.N. across it. It's really pretty and the scab is just about off. It's on my left arm and you aren't a real sailor until you have one. ha. So now I am a real sailor ha. It hurt a little while the fellow put it on but it don't bother me a bit and it's pretty nice. Now don't get mad please. I'm not a going to get anymore but I always did want a small tattoo on me. ha. Here is what it looks like. Gulfport
This is just a rough sketch of it but this is what it sorta looks like. haha. It looks really nice and I really look salty. ha ha. Please don't get mad or bawl me out now. Will you. Write and tell me what you think about it though. I am writing to you and sucking on some of your candy. Boy is it ever good. I really like your life savers and that is the best kind of candy that you can send me. It's really swell. Well it's about time to knock off and hit the sack, so will close for now. Keep them swell letters a coming and good night and Lots of Love and Kisses.
Note: Dad came home from the war with not just one, but three tattoos. He was just 18 years old when he wrote this letter home.

GLAMABOX Team and Beauty Panel on the latest Revlon Color Burst Lip Butters being released, sharing their love for the lipsticks.
We all had instant makeover using the Revlon Lip Butters! I tried on the shade "Peach Parfait" and it felt buttery and glossy on the lips, it's also very moisturizing.
*Drumroll* The Revlon butters aside, I think GLAMABOX really sets themselves apart by emphasizing the brands they selected do not belong to the mainstream category - let's take a look at the contents in the February (aka Valentine's Day) GLAMABOX!
Enprani is a Korean brand and I'm new to it, the bottled drinks aren't new to the market but I haven't tried them yet. While I'm not sure if I need the Talika Smile & Kiss Treatment at all, Talika is a brand hard to locate here.
Curious about the previous contents of GLAMABOX? You can view here. Previously they included brands like Sleek, GLAMABOX really lives up to their claim by introducing niche brands to fellow beauty addicts. You can have all the latest beauty innovations at just HK$108 per month now!

Washington Falls in 100th Apple Cup
Nov. 24, 2007
SEATTLE (AP) -Alex Brink threw for 399 yards and five touchdowns, the last a 35-yarder to Brandon Gibson with 31 seconds left, and Washington State (5-7, 3-6 Pac-10) came from behind to win the 100th Apple Cup 42-35 against Washington on Saturday night.
Brink completed 27 of 40 throws in his 40th and final start. He became the first Cougars quarterback to beat the Huskies three times while setting a record for passing yards in an Apple Cup game. Washington State's career leader in all major passing categories finished his career fourth in Pac-10 history in passing yards.
Redshirt freshman Jake Locker returned from a scary neck injury two weeks ago to rush for 103 yards and two touchdowns - including a go-ahead, 1-yard run that gave Washington (4-8, 2-7) a 35-28 lead with 12:18 remaining.
Locker also threw for 224 yards and a touchdown for the Huskies, which will now try to spoil Hawaii's undefeated season and quest for a Bowl Championship Series bid next week in their finale.
Locker threw two interceptions, the final one in the end zone by Alfonso Jackson as time expired. The Cougars then ran from their bench into an impromptu mosh pit in front of their roaring fans behind the end zone. Gov. Chris Gregoire walked into the throng to present Washington State with the Apple Cup trophy for the third time in four seasons.
Down 35-28, Washington State was about to be backed up with a third-and-20 midway through the fourth quarter, but Washington freshman safety Nate Williams was called for defensive holding. On the next play, Brink found Gibson running free across the field for a 40-yard touchdown to tie it at 35 with 7:29 left.
On WSU's final drive, Brink found Michael Bumpus for 18 yards and then 22 yards before his decisive throw to Gibson, who had six catches for 137 yards and two scores while setting the school record for receiving yards in a season.
Washington was going mostly nowhere - down 28-20 and with 23 total yards on its last four drives - when WSU's Jackson lowered his helmet into the chin of Marcel Reece after a pass soared high incomplete. The personal foul erased a third-and-10 and woke up the Huskies.
Locker found Reece all alone for a 63-yard touchdown. Locker then threw a dart across his body while getting shoved out of bounds on a 3-point conversion try. Reece caught that, too, to tie the game at 28 late in the third quarter.
After WSU went three and out, Locker ran three times for 37 yards and three first downs - including on third-and-6 in which he juked four Cougars to get to the WSU 6. The dynamo then took a shotgun snap on fourth-and-1 and barreled over right guard to end the 16-play drive and give Washington a 35-28 lead with 12:18 left.
Locker's second rushing score of the day was his 12th of the season, tying Mark Brunell's school record for quarterbacks. It also gave him 879 yards rushing, most in a season for a Pac-10 QB.
The Cougars took a 28-20 lead six minutes into the second half when Jeshua Anderson blew past flat-footed cornerback Byron Davenport for Brink's third touchdown pass, from 28 yards.
Washington State rallied from deficits of 10-0 and 17-7 to take a 21-20 lead at halftime, thanks mostly to 222 passing yards from Brink and two touchdown throws to third-string tight end Devin Frischknecht.
Chris Ivory ran for 114 yards and WSU's other touchdown in the first half.

By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and WeptBook - 2015
Elizabeth Smartâe(tm)s passionate fictional account of her intense love-affair with the poet George Barker, described by Angela Carter as âe~Like MADAME BOVARY blasted by lightning âe¦ A masterpieceâe(tm).
One day, while browsing in a London bookshop, Elizabeth Smart chanced upon a slim volume of poetry by George Barker âe" and fell passionately in love with him through the printed word. Eventually they communicated directly and, as a result of Barkerâe(tm)s impecunious circumstances, Elizabeth Smart flew both him and his wife from Japan, where he was teaching, to join her in the United States. Thus began one of the most extraordinary, intense and ultimately tragic love affairs of our time. They never married but Elizabeth bore George Barker four children and their relationship provided the impassioned inspiration for one of the most moving and immediate chronicles of a love affair ever written âe" âe~By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Weptâe(tm).
Originally published in 1945, this remarkable book is now widely identified as a classic work of poetic prose which, seven decades later, has retained all of its searing poignancy, beauty and power of impact.
From Library Staff
LPL_AdultServices Sep 18, 2018
Banned in Canada from 1945-75 under the influence of Smart's family's political power due to its sexual documentation of Smart's affair with a married man.

"I prefer corncobs to the genitals of men" (pg. 134). Some books can ruin themselves, and this one was ruined by that shocking obscenity (warmed up by reference to "darkie porters" on page 133). There are unannounced shifts in point of view and many shifts in mood (in the grammatical sense of the word), with abundant use of the imperative. It was an entrancing book up till then, never too clear, always keeping one on one's toes, and keeping one off-balance. The obscenity allowed me to think of the author: if a person who just happened to be born with male genitalia were to stalk and scheme (for three years!) to hook up with a woman he was obsessed with, merely from reading a book, we would consider him a super-creepy pervo-loser. If anyone doesn't believe that Miss Smart is a super-creepy pervo-loser, female version, it reveals their sexism.
I found reading this book problematic. The writing is beautiful, very poetic use of language. I recognise that Smart is in one sense a feminist icon, in terms of claiming her sexuality and defending her choice to follow her heart in the face of social disapproval. I found myself continually thinking "but what about Mrs. Barker's pain?", and being annoyed with Smart appearing to think that her great love allowed her to override that and disregard the other woman's feelings.

Eileen KINNICK
75 yrs agoWeek 3 - Jan 18-24, 1937
My mother, Eileen KINNICK (maiden name), kept a diary from 1932 until her death in 1999. In Feb 2005, I created a website of her 1936 diary, the year she graduated from high school. During the latter half of 2011, commented weekly on these entries.
For 1937, I am transcribing the daily entries, currently, at The KINNICK Project surname blog.
In this weekly blog post, I will make summary comments and observations, and perhaps add a photo, from time to time.
Setting: The family lived in a farmhouse a couple of miles out of town (Coon Rapids, Iowa). Older brother, Leo, lived at home; his girl friend, later wife, Ida, visited regularly. Younger brother, Buzzy (she often wrote Bussy) was 9 years old. Pete Smith is her 'boy friend' - fourth month starting Jan 1 (they do marry, in Mar 1938).
Week 3 (Jan 18-24):
When was the last time you received two hand written letters in the same week? I got one from Uncle Buzzy, that I reported last week. Today (Monday), I got one from 94 year old Uncle Leo. They were both young men in the home 75 years ago, during Eileen's diary entries. Leo and Ida married in Oct 1937, and continued to live on the farm with the family for a short period of time, he mentions in the letter.
I had asked about the dead red mule, named Eileen, from the diaries. He said: "I did have a team of mules, but I don't remember an Eileen. However, I did have one drop dead as I was driving them west up the road to get a piece of machinery I had just bought on a farm sale. That was quite an event for me. I had to get the live one unhitched from the dead one & went back home & got a horse & hitched it up with the mule & got the piece of machinery home. I farmed the next year with a horse & a mule." I have read that mules did that. Work so hard, for so long; then, one day, just drop dead. Appears that happened a couple of different time, over two or three year period, in this case.
I also asked about the two cars: the Ford V8 and the Chevy they had then. His reply: "When Dad bought that Ford V8 I thought it was wonderful. It had more power & ran so quiet compared to that 29 chevy [first I had picked up it was a 29!] we had been driving. The only trouble we had with it was if you hit a bump in the road too hard the rear shock (cannot read the word) would open too far & would stay that way. Then I had to jack it up & push it back where it belongs. Those were our 2 cars for a long time & Dad gave me the 29 Chev when I got married. Changing a tire on it was a real job. The spare was just the rubber tire & a rim you had to take apart, slip the tire on & put the two together & then pump it up with a hand pump. I had to do that several times."
What fun! From Buzzy I learned the V8 was a Ford; from Leo I learned the Chevy was a 1929. Do you suppose the 1929 Chevy looked anything like this one, below?
Comments welcomed!
Families are Forever! ;-)
This Blog focuses on Ancestor Stories, both the stories themselves about my family's ancestors and discussions of where they come from and how to prepare and share them. These stories may be non-fiction or fiction – we will always tell which is which, of course. Also see my KINNICK blog and The HOMEPLACE Series Blog, left sidebar, scroll down.

If there can be a common basis, let us see it; give us something more than the negitivity of "clearing the path" of those things you think are impediments.I already indicated where there can be a common basis. Beyond that, compromise only obscures. Acquiescing to untenable theories results in woolly-minded, vague, and muddled relativism. As I've previously mentioned, there is no need for consensus, nor should consensus even be desired.tiltbillings wrote:Obviously there is no compromise, no room for finding a common basis.
And in the process it looks like you are telling us that in these thing you think that should be cleared away and those things that you think that do not really have much to offer that's especially interesting or important there is no value in their practice, implying that they do not lead to any significant insight into the Dhamma.
