Post subject: Rethinking the Keyboard for single-switch
Hi All,
The following was written before I watched Will's video. But I think most of it holds up. So I'm submitting it "as is" or "was."
The discussion now appears to be entering into a technical area beyond my comfort zone. Except for checking in once and awhile, and seeing if I can recruit others having needed expertise, this may be my last post on this thread.
Although I have always been driven curiosity about everything, shortly after WWII, when I was about 6 and TVs had yet to become mainstream, I took apart the family's radio. No one knew how to fix it and its replacement cost about a week's savings. To say the discussion which followed was not an encouragement of my tinkering with appliances would be euphemistic.
Now that I better understand the problem, at present I have only one thing to add. It will probably complicate things.
We are creatures of habit. Much --perhaps most of what we do, or at least how we do things-- is the result of our internalization of our culture's adaption to its environment, including the existent technology. We learn it, do it, it becomes the way we do it and, thereafter, we don't think about it. Having habits is efficient as anyone will attest who has had to wait while someone else tries to locate keys or eye-glasses "just left someplace." But occasionally it does make sense to "re-invent the wheel."
Use of the QWERTY keyboard is a cultural habit in English speaking countries. It, and probably every other keyboard, was designed for mechanical typewriters because it had quickly been discovered that people could press keys faster than the springs could return keys to their rest position. To avoid key-jamming keys for several of the most frequently typed letters were moved to awkward locations: that is, unable to speed up the action of the typewriter, they slowed down the action of the typist. When electronic typewriters and computer keyboards came about such hobbling of the typist was no longer necessary. But even the Dvorak keyboard –supposedly more ergonomic-- could not overcome our cultural adaption to QWERTY. Even on Smart-phones, where efficient typists use only their thumbs, the QWERTY keyboard is still deployed.
Except for those having to build it, I would suggest that the optimum solution in providing a keyboard for those limited to one-switch mobility would be to group the keys for the most frequently employed letters of the alphabet to the easiest to locate (first) position on a keyboard. The attached illustration began with that simple goal, but grew as other considerations came to mind. The order of the alphabetic keys is based on the work of Herbert S. Zim, as per Wikipedia:
. According to that source, the following constitutes the English alphabet in order of usage frequency:
In that order, the first 8 letters are those employed 65% of time, and the first 12 constitute 80% of letter usage. The attached keyboard modifies that order to take into consideration factors:
1) per that source, the most frequent letter combinations, in order of their frequency are:
Although the letter "E" is the most frequently used letter, I suspect it achieves that status not because English has many words which begin with "E" but, rather, because "E" is the most commonly used vowel. The letter "H" was moved closer to the beginning of the sequence to reflect how frequently it is used in letter combinations. The order of almost all of the other frequent letter combinations actually arises naturally from the sequence. I don't think Zim considered how often words are separated. But the manufactures of keyboards make the space-bar larger than the others and place it under your two strongest fingers. So I placed it in first position. The delete key was placed on the first row based on my experience attempting to type on a Smart-phone. My guess was that both the period/decimal point and comma are more frequently used that the letters which follow them on the proposed keyboard and I wanted to place them in close proximity to the number keys.
The keyboard is predicated on the assumption that it will be displayed and begin functioning as soon as the operating system has reached "desktop" and that without further intervention, at a given interval, cursor focus will scroll through the keys on the top row. Such scrolling is assumed throughout this suggestion, unless stated otherwise. That scrolling is taking place can be visually represented by changing the background color of the key then in focus. Consequently, to type a key all that is necessary is that the switch be pressed while focus is on that key. Note the "ChngInt" key at the bottom right. My guess is that what constitutes the proper interval may depend on both the individual and the extent of his/her practice with the keyboard. Pressing the ChngInt key will bring up a dialog box with three buttons: Keyboard, Mouse, Exit. Pressing Keyboard will bring up another dialog box showing the current speed and the choices +, -, Accept, Exit. Pressing Mouse will be similar, except that it will show the number of pixel for each standard move. Pressing Accept will bring up a dialog box with the choices Confirm, Return (to previous dialog), and Exit. Note the Mouse-fine button. Pressing it will reduce the length of a mouse movement to a small number (1?) per interval and the mouse movement will, thereafter, be so limited until Mouse-Off or one of the click buttons is pressed.
It should be apparent from the foregoing that I am talking about "re-inventing the wheel". Doing so would require expertise (which I lack) with respect to keyboard codes, Mouse-Routines?, GUI design, and some programming. Can it be done by first deconstructing Magoo? Much of the programming can probably can be done using BASH. The suggested keyboard would require 98 buttons and, of course, a scrolling routine. You'll notice that the "Keyboard" is actually an array. As such, automatic scrolling and several other actions can be accomplished using imbedded Do-While loops, or their equivalent.
The following is an explanation of how the rest of the "keyboard's" functions. Up and Down do what you would expect, move the focus to the next higher or lower row, with Up5 and Up6 returning focus to Row A. [Row names and Column numbers are not part of the keyboard: present only to facilitate consideration and discussion]. Having rearrange the alphabet in a logical but as yet unfamiliar sequence, I've tried to group other keys where they're likely to be recalled through association with similar keys. So I've grouped the numbers and common math function keys together and in close proximity to the period/decimal-point and comma keys. Row F begins with the three Ms: Move, Mouse and Menu. An onscreen keyboard will on occasion be in the wrong location: ergo Move. Mouse, will shift focus from the cursor to the mouse-cursor. And Menu will shift focus to the start button of the menu. The meaning of Left, Right, Up and Down should be obvious, although the subroutines they invoke will differ depending on which of the 3 Ms were pressed.
Prior to the prevalence of the mouse there were both word-processing and web-browsing software that could be completely controlled using the "directional tabs" --i.e. Right, Left, Up and Down. I don't know of any today. But if there are, because of the limitations of operating a mouse via a single-switch, it would be better to use such software and abandon the mouse in favor of "directional tabs."
The "o/o" appearing in some cells indicates an on-off toggle. In addition to Suspend (or hibernate whichever is better) and shutdown the keyboard has a "pause" toggle. Invoking it will simple pause cursor and mouse-cursor movements until it is pressed again. Everyone needs to take a break once in awhile.
The bottom row contains word-processing functions. Depending on the software used –not just word-processing software-- directional tabs could be preferable.
Once the groupings of keys likely to be used in conjunction with each other had been laid out, I filled empty cells with functions I thought might be useful, such as the pause toggle. The volume button would initiate a module to increase/decrease speaker volume. I thought a "Seek Help" key might be of value: pressing it would set volume to maximum and initiate an appropriate call for attention. Lastly, the function key (func o/o) could invoke a number of hot-key actions such as func-o to open, func-s to save. Pressing it would return the cursor to the first row and invoke a subroutine which would respond to the press of a key on a defined list (including func-o which would turn it off), ignoring any other press. Pressing the second key would seek confirmation, then turn off func and initiate the called for action.
As I mentioned previously, an inherent problem with onscreen keyboards is they will occasionally obscure something on the screen. A better solution would be to reserve space across the bottom (or top) of the screen. Excluding the UP & Down keys of Columns 1 and 14, there are 86 keys. It would be frustrating and inefficient for a user to have to wait while the program scrolled through most of the keyboard before focusing on a desired key. So even if the keyboard were aligned across the bottom (top) of the screen, you still would want to divide the keys into groups with each group having its own panel/window and a mechanism for changing focus from one panel to another.

One more question before I give up on my hardware solution.
Can these people reliably tilt their chin forwards, backwards, left, and right, about a half-inch, without problems?
If this gets into pure software I'll have to bow out. I can probably learn arduino code, but even a linux shell script is likely beyond me right now (although I'll have a look if it becomes necessary).
EDIT: even tilting the chin 1/4 or 3/8 inch, would be enough... just need to be able to do it enough to bump into something is all.

Starhawk, I think your hardware solution sounds awesome so I don't want you to think your efforts were in vain for a second.
It's just that the guys who get the shaft on computer access only have a single motion (that isn't even always predictable). So the only way to delineate it is by steps--move mouse, click mouse, wait for A, etc.
Imagine putting a 10kg-20kg weight around your neck and you could only interact if you could put the part in the right place....and you are disabled.
Thank you so much for your help....no good deed goes unchecked.

Post subject: If the mouse offends thee, pluck it out
Hi standard7452 and all,
Seems I was mistaken about having little more to add.
I previously indicated that I was able to obtain a functioning version of onboard in jejy69's lxpup-aptget-test by using its included synaptic to install the necessary debs. With onboard onscreen and geany opened clicking the onscreen keys sent the keys selected to geany which displayed them. I'm not certain, however, if onboard is entirely functional under lxpup-aptget. I called up its config module and turned on scanning. Thereafter, various sections of the keyboard were highlighted, but (1) selecting mouse as the keyboard device and checking "mouse only" froze the application except to allow pressing the Enter key to uncheck it and (2) after unchecking "mouse-only" clicking a key on the onscreen keyboard while in the scan mode no longer sent key-strokes to geany. Turning off that mode restored onboard's communication with geany. Similarly, unless scanning was turned off, onboard did not communicate with either opera or firefox. Hopefully, that problem is simply because I don't really know how to configure onboard or can be overcome. Exploring onboard has overcome my concern that an on-screen keyboard would occasionally obscure other on-screen windows: its display can be dragged and resized so that it uses only space immediately above the taskbar. Although other windows may extend under that display, there's probably a workaround. Interestingly, when set to "grid" mode, onboard –although it then only displays a "reduced" keyboard and number pad-- appears to arrange the alphabetic keys in some variation of letter use frequency I discussed. I wonder if it's customizable?
Assuming the input problem is not a show stopper, onboard's problem of working with a mouse may be overcome by simply not. I know you youngsters may find it hard to imagine, but there was a time when mice were not only not attached to computers, computers didn't know what to do with them. It was the time of Dos. Apparently there's still enough of us old geezers that someone took the time to create the gleebox addon for Chrome (I think also usable in Chromium and Iron),
/, and the mouseless-browsing addon for firefox,
. Some of opera's functions can be initiated by key-strokes but, unless I missed it, not all.
From a practical standpoint, that leaves only the urgent need for a mouseless wordprocessor. I naturally thought of Wordperfect 5.1 for dos and wondered if it could run under a dos emulator. So I downloaded the dosemu deb from Ubuntu and installed it. [Actually, I turned it into an SFS which, when loaded, successfully ran in any precise-pup, Lupu, Slacko and Exprimo, but not Carolina: missing lib]. I then downloaded and installed WP51 from
The attached screenshot is of WP51 running under dosemu in precise-aptget-test.
WP51 is a complete wordprocessor. It can also create table --small spreadsheets. Although it can use a mouse, all its functions can be called up via the menu or thru keyboard commands, using key-combinations. It can also create and use macros of commonly employed phrases and commonly undertaken actions. If I recall correctly, it can also create datafiles, but if not dataperfect can also be downloaded and used in conjunction with it. It's been awhile, but for two years it was the program I used on a daily basis to write legal briefs and various correspondence. Both Wp51 and Dataperfect are now in the public domain. I'd also note that available from corel via its public files are modules to localize WP51 to most Western European languages. However, although onboard provides a full keyboard currently I have no way of testing whether in scan mode it would accept combination keys.
An alternative to WP51 is the text editor geany which I frequently use to jot down short (for me, probably long for others) notes and clearly sufficient for basic written communications. Although it does not do pretty things like change fonts and spell-check, it does have customizable key-bindings including a "snippet" function. But again the question arises whether Onboard in scan mode can handle combination keys.
And there's the inimitable Vim which its users swear by but which is so robust that, suspecting a long learning curve, I've been hesitant to try. Perhaps it can be toned down?
Rounding out the picture, there are mouseless file-managers, and entire Linux Window-managers for which no mouse is required. Among them are "awesome," "xmonad" and "ratpoison." I don't know whether any of these would work under even jejy69's lxpup-aptget, or which might be the best for our purposes. On the other hand, if onboard in scan mode can handle key-combinations, as Start menus can be controlled via the directional keys once the Start icon is pressed, a key-binding to simulate that press may be sufficient with any Puppy's window-manager.
So, rather than trying to include mouse-usage, which at best would be frustratingly slow, why not avoid its use altogether.
And if not in Puppy, perhaps under one of the Ubuntus themselves?

Hi Will,
I have found another free Windows webcam solution which, in parallel with this thread, you may want to check out. It looks really good, covering both mouse control and keyboard input purely with head/eye movements. Text to speech is also catered for.

Post subject: Wordperfect 5.1
Hi mikeslr,
Your mention of WP 5.1 brought back a lot of memories.
I used it for years in conjunction with an add-on (The A-Z of WordPerfect) which made it easier to use than Word. It was in essence a collection of macros covering all features. I may still have a copy on one of my archive CDs. Let me know if you wish me to check.

Hi standard7452,
forum member
has done some fantastic work developing a couple of scripts (attached below) that allow a Puppy to be fully controlled from a single keyboard switch. In their current form the scripts respond to the Pause/Break key that you have requested (and can initially be tested by anyone without having to disassemble the keyboard).
Unfortunately I have not used GOK or Onboard so I don't know if the script will suit your needs with those programs, but I have tested each of them with the xvkbd onscreen keyboard and the combination is very powerful.
The user only needs to run one of these scripts. Although they perform identical tasks they are visually different and it is up to the user to choose which best suits their needs/screen layout etc.
The scripts are as follows:
places a small window at bottom right of the screen and contains a rotating line within a circle. The rotating line determines the direction that the mouse will travel, and the pause key determines the actions to be performed.
places a navigation bar across the top of the screen and uses 8 arrows to display the intended direction of mouse travel, and again, uses the pause key to control actions.
How does a single key control the actions? Both Radar and Navbar alternate between "choose direction" mode and "choose action" mode and the user simply presses the pause key when they see their preferred direction/action highlighted in the control window.
SFR has done a lot of work to make these scripts perform well, but it is important to remember that there are many Pups, many browsers, and a variety of window managers to choose from. Your mileage may vary!! I have been testing with a small number of Pups, and will be testing more combinations, but my first recommendation is that Magoo (which is based on Precise) seems very compatible. There are screenshots below of Radar6 running on Magoo on my netbook. (obviously a bigger screen would suit most users...)
I will describe how I install Radar, but please note that I don't know a lot about the "right way" to do this. (I really don't know all the conventions about where things should go, and how they should be connected together, so I will describe what worked for me). I recommend that you try this script (or any new script for that matter...) on a fresh installation that does not contain important data. The script itself will not cause you any problems but if you are a bad driver and lose control of the mouse you have only youself to blame
If you want to trial Navbar instead of Radar you simply follow the same install steps.
1) Download the attached Radar6 (or Navbar) tar and extract it somewhere. Then place a copy of the extracted folder in /root
2) Click on the radar file inside that folder. You should see the radar window appear at bottom right of the screen. (It should appear on top of all other windows, but if not you may need to shrink other windows enough for it to be always visible)
3) Click the Pause key and you should see the mouse start to move in the direction shown by the radar screen. When you get to where you want to go just hit the pause button again and the radar screen will change to show you the actions you can choose. Just cycle through this process as required
Navbar is similar, but places the control window at the top of the screen so that it doesnt overlap maximised windows below it. At this stage I find radar a little easier to drive than navbar - but both have their advantages.
xvkbd is not a requirement for Radar or Navbar, but it will be a valuable add-on for most users. If the user wishes to type into a document or browser etc you can have xvkbd running in the background, then navigate to the taskbar, select the xvkbd tab (which will bring xvkbd to the front) then click the "focus" key on the xvkbd keyboard, click on the chosen program window, then start typing the text on the keyboard and it will appear in the desired document window. I don't know how xvkbd compares with Onboard but it seems to work well and I found it quite easy to adapt to.
8bit mentioned this post which details the installation and use of xvkbd:
I think the pet will install on most systems, but if not you can manually install the files: Basically you put the xvkbd file somewhere like /usr/bin and click on it when you want it running, or else you can put the file (or a symlink) into the /root/startup folder if you want xvkbd running as soon as Puppy is started.
Some systems also require the two extra libraries mentioned in that post to be added into /usr/X11R7/lib, and then it is necessary to add symlinks with the correct names that xvkbd is looking for. This only has to be done once.
Magoo :
Magoo is not a requirement for Radar or Navbar - it just happens to be a Puppy that I like (targeted at vision-challenged or menu-challenged users) and it seems to work well with radar and navbar. It is available as an iso or a .pet
Now all that's required is to find someone to offer a service grafting 3.5mm mono connectors onto old keyboards so we can tap into the pause key with a footswitch/headswitch or whatever...

I am so excited this is exactly what I needed for this project.
SFR you have no idea how many people you will help with this...it is better than I could have imagined!
WOW, just WOW!
I will move on to testing with some of the people who will benefit and post results / videos.
And try to come up with a way to thank you all for your efforts!

Post subject: Great Work by SFR
Hi standard7452,
Yes. Really great work by SFR. No doubt with some encouragement and aiding and abetting by greengeek.
Add the following, per the xvkb site:
"Automatic Click
Set on/off of the automatic click feature and the delay before automatic click is activated. If this feature is set, xvkbd will work as if left mouse button is clicked when mouse pointer is moved on a button and stays long enough. You may want to set Jump Pointer? to OFF to avoid auto-repeating."
I haven't quite figured out how best to use magoo perhaps because I think Magoo-MK129 is broken. (Will email author). But in any event, geany text editor can be run mouseless. I've given up efforts to include WordPerfect for Dos via dosemu since, to make it compatible with Linux apps its native file format could not be used (readable only by LibreOffice, maybe OpenOffice) and if docs are saved as mere text it has little to recommend it over geany.
"A" Magoo modified to substitute geany and other "mouseless" apps would be a very useful interface for this project.
I'm still trying to figure out how to customize xvkb's interface so as to group the most commonly used letters of the alphabet in a pattern of close-proximity to reduce the necessary mouse movement and delay between desired letters. While xvkbd has built in functions to assignments for special keys, they don't handle "standard" keys. However, xvkbd itself must because in addition to the standard "US" keyboard, you can select already available keyboards as diverse as Dvorak or Korean. [The onscreen key must have a label indicating what letter will be sent to the target application, or function called, and "pressing" the key so labeled must have the desired effect]. I'll write to Tom Sato, xvkbd's creator, as soon as I've thought out a keyboard layout using xvkbd's design rather than the rectangular one of the previous illustration.

I think it's a great idea to have an alternative layout of keyboard - those who do a lot of typing might find a real productivity boost if the keyboard had all those "couplets" that you listed on it. Why type one letter at a time when you could do it two at a time?
Maybe even a list of several alternative keyboard layouts? One for maths, one for science, etc etc
And please pass on my thanks for xvkbd - it's neat!

Words cannot express how grateful I am that all of you did this.
I showed my friends this, and they couldn't believe what they saw.
Frankly, I cannot believe what I see.
With a few adjustments to XVKBD everything is done to allow a user to access a computer via a single switch.
You guys could make a fortune billing a government agency with this solution, FYI.
I spend a lot of time trying to help those with disability access a computer. I just don't think its fair that the most vulnerable people need to pay the most.
To me, that is not in the spirit of using a computer or accessing information.
All I can say, is that I am SO impressed you guys have done so much.

Well after trying everywhere ( I even put up a $1000 bounty on guru.com) it was the PUPPY people who came through first (no reward)--and I kind of knew it would be.
I am just so impressed with all of you it gives me goosebumps and tears to my eyes...thank you.

Germany's only Felke spa resort, which is set among vineyards, meadows and forests, attracts many visitors and spa guests to this holiday region.
Bad Sobernheim is associated with unspoilt nature, history and the arts but first and foremost it is known for its Felke treatments, which use curative loam and were discovered by Emanuel Felke. Away from the big-city hustle and bustle, visitors can replenish their energies in the newest official spa resort (1995) in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Active and holistic therapy
The Felke cure, an active, holistic therapy for joint pain, obesity and high blood pressure is used successfully to treat patients at three health and wellness centres. Based on the four Felke elements of air, light, water and loam ('healing earth'), it is combined with physical exercise and a whole-food diet rich in vital nutrients, or therapeutic fasting, to create an effective therapy. The treatments feature Bad Sobernheim's curative loam in the form of loam packs, loam baths and Rasul baths, which aim to detox, purify and restore balance to the body.
On the tracks of Felke
In between sessions, there are lots of places of interest to discover in the town. Felke's life story can be traced at the Priorhof local history museum and visitors can learn how cures were administered 100 years ago in the original Felke hut. In 1992 Germany's first barefoot trail – a 3,500m circuit – was laid out in line with Felke's ideas. Also worth a visit are the large sauna centre, the outdoor pool complex and the ruins of Disibodenberg abbey.

God is Silent…
Send a link to a friend
This time of the year is one of the most joyous
celebratory times of the year…and yet for others it
is one of the most depressing darkest – difficult to
get through times. This past week I had the joy of
attending my two youngest children's (ages 7 & 4)
Christmas program. It was a time of great joy
watching our kids and other children sing, smile,
dance…their faces covered with joy. Yet, as Wendy
and I sat there, I thought about the Christmas
programs that were probably planned in Newtown, CT.
They had songs to be sung…but no children to sing
them. Later, I read what one brother wrote, "What
could possibly be worse than not having gifts under
the tree to give to our kids? Having gifts under the
tree but no children to give them to." For those in
Newtown, CT, there are not words to describe what
they are feeling and facing. In the midst of pain…we
cry out…yet it is at these moments sometimes God
seems to remain silent.
The Bible speaks of a man who knew this pain. His
name is Job. In one day Job lost all his livestock –
God remained silent; in the same day he lost his
entire livelihood – God remained silent; and in the
same day he lost those most precious to him…all ten
of his children – God still remained silent. Job
lost the support of the one closet to him…his wife
told him to curse God and die. Finally Job lost the
support of his friends as they told him he must be
in sin and in need of repentance. Through it all God
remained silent.
Perhaps, this Christmas you are going through a very
difficult time…a time when God remains silent.
Today, I want to share with you some insights that
will empower you to make it through those times in
life when you cry out and it seems as though all you
hear is silence. First we learn what to do by two
things that Job did not do:
Job did not sin nor
charge God with the wrong (Job 1:20-22)
Job did not sin with
his lips (Job 2:10)
We are often quick to do both.
Many of us have been told it is not for us to ask
why. Yet, Job asked, "Why?" six times in Job chapter
3. It is ok to ask why…yet sometimes God still
remains silent.
When God is Silent…
1. Remain Persistent in Prayer
Job kept speaking to God even though all He heard
was a deafening silence!
• Job 7:19-21 – What have I done? Have I sinned?
• Job 9:32-35 – Job desires a mediator showing his desire for any
help in restoring his relationship with God.
• Job 13:18-22 – Job really believes He will be vindicated.
• Job 19:25-26 – I know my redeemer lives…
• Job 23:10-12 – God knows me…when I am tested…I will come forth as
• Job 27:1-6 - …until I die, I will not put away my integrity from
2. Remember the Promises of God
It is so hard to remember the promises of God when life is difficult
and God seems quiet. When God speaks we often remember, but we need
to remember at all times.
Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to
those who love God and who are called according to his purpose."
Phil. 1:6 "being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun
a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."
Job remained persistent in prayer and remembered the promises of
God. Job realized that when God is silent…He has already spoken…and
He will speak again. As a result, God restored to him twice as much
as he had before. God blessed the latter part of Job's life better
than the first.
The first Christmas God spoke by sending His Son – "For God so loved
the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him
will not perish but have everlasting life." This Christmas God is
still speaking – He still so loves the world and He so loves you.
His heart breaks for the families in Newtown, CT. and His heart
breaks for you. Take a moment right now and seek Him…He is waiting
for you. He loves you and so do we!

The couple is off to have a rest at the lake but when they get nude and start swimming, they realize that they place, they thought to be secluded is actually full of horny guys watching them….
When passion absorbs you, there is no way you can resist it, these two lovers have no limits, they are having sex right in the street, in the rain!
Fucking your girlfriend's butt is great, it's even better when she doesn't mind it! This guy has a walk with her girlfriend, he's so hot that he can't hold his desire, as soon as they get back to the apartment, he gets to her butt!

Introducing the 2011 MLB Some-Stars Teams…
Every year. Every year, I join in a chorus of statistical slaves railing against the fan vote, this year witnessed by Derek Jeter (14th in WAR* among AL shortstops, with a paltry 0.2) getting a starting nod. Jeter is at least chasing 3,000 hits. There's even less explanation for Josh Hamilton (1.6 WAR, 12th among AL outfielders.)
But this year, I'm not stopping there. The whole selection process is pretty silly. Bruce Bochy used his managerial picks to give Ryan Vogelsong an All-Star nod, which raised a lot of eyebrows around the league. But Vogelsong (1.9 WAR, 20th among NL starters) isn't even the worst offender. Jose Valverde made the squad despite a 0.4 WAR (38th among AL relievers,) as did Brandon League, who is tied with him.
And then there's Jay Bruce, whose 0.9 WAR ranks him 39th among NL outfielders.
Meanwhile, Bochy snubbed his own third baseman, Pablo Sandoval, who leads all NL third basemen with 2.0 WAR. Sandoval isn't alone; he's tied at the top with Chase Headley, who also wasn't voted in. Neither were Ryan Roberts (1.9) – who wasn't even on the printed All-Star ballot – or Aramis Ramirez (1.6). That's right, the NL's starting third baseman, Placido Polanco, ranks fifth. The reserve third baseman, Chipper Jones, ranks tenth.
The second base situation in the AL is almost as bad. Robinson Cano (2.4, 5th among AL 2B) was voted the starter, and Howie Kendrick (3rd with 3.1) is the backup, leaving Dustin Pedroia (1st with 3.7) as proof that even big-market players aren't exempt. He'll have company watching the game; the Rays' Ben Zobrist is 2nd with 3.6 WAR, and also didn't receive a nod.
David Robertson is tied with his bullpen mate, Mariano Rivera, to lead all AL relievers with a 1.5 WAR, but he'll be sitting at home, also.
But it is what it is, and most of the guys who belong there end up there, one way or the other. But would it kill Major League Baseball to rectify this situation somehow? Maybe give the General Managers a vote? Maybe SABR? I don't know; but I do know that something needs to change. The guys who earn All-Star nods must be allowed to play in the All-Star Game.
I'm all for the idea of the fan vote: Fans should be able to watch their favorite players take the field in July against one another. But if a player out-performs every other player at his position, he should be on that field.
As is my tradition, I've taken the liberty of creating my own All-Star team, based on statistics, while maintaining current MLB rules (i.e. at least one player from each team**).
So, without further ado, my own choices for the 68 Major League All-Stars:
C: Brian McCann (ATL)
1B: Joey Votto (CIN)
2B: Rickie Weeks (MIL)
3B: Chase Headley (SDP)
SS: Jose Reyes (NYM)
OF: Matt Kemp (LAD), Andrew McCutcheon (PIT), Ryan Braun (MIL)
SP: Roy Halladay (PHI)
Cole Hamels (PHI), Cliff Lee (PHI), Clayton Kershaw (LAD), Jair Jurrjens (ATL), Jonny Venters (ATL), Craig Kimbrel (ATL), Eric O'Flaherty (ATL), Mike Adams (SDP), Carlos Marmol (CHC), Ian Kennedy (ARI), Daniel Hudson (ARI), Matt Cain (SFG)
C Miguel Montero (ARI), 1B Prince Fielder (MIL), 2B Danny Espinosa (WSN), 3B Pablo Sandoval (SFG), SS Troy Tulowitzki (COL), OF Shane Victorino (PHI), OF Michael Bourn (HOU), OF Matt Holliday (STL), OF Carlos Beltran (HOU), 1B Gaby Sanchez (FLA), 2B Brandon Phillips (CIN), OF/1B Lance Berkman (STL), 3B Ryan Roberts (ARI)
C: Alex Avila (DET)
1B: Adrian Gonzalez (BOS)
2B: Dustin Pedroia (BOS)
3B: Alex Rodriguez (NYY)
SS: Asdrubal Cabrera (CLE)
OF: Jose Bautista (TOR), Curtis Granderson (NYY), Jacoby Ellsbury (BOS)
DH: David Ortiz (BOS)
SP: Jered Weaver (LAA)
Justin Verlander (DET), CC Sabathia (NYY), Josh Beckett (BOS), James Shields (TBR), David Robertson (NYY), Mariano Rivera (NYY), Jim Johnson (BAL), Aaron Crow (KCR), Sergio Santos (CWS), Felix Hernandez (SEA), C.J. Wilson (TEX), Gio Gonzalez (OAK)
C Matt Wieters (BAL), 1B Miguel Cabrera (DET), 2B Ben Zobrist (TBR), 3B Kevin Youkilis (BOS), SS Jhonny Peralta (DET), OF Alex Gordon (KCR), OF Denard Span (MIN), OF Brett Gardner (NYY), DH Victor Martinez (DET), OF Matthew Joyce (TBR), OF Carlos Quentin (CWS), 2B Howie Kendrick (LAA)
* I calculated WAR by averaging bWAR and fWAR.
** Yankees 6, Red Sox 6, Braves 5, Tigers 5, Diamondbacks 4, Phillies 4, Brewers 3, Rays 3, Reds 2, Dodgers 2, Mets 2, Padres 2, Giants 2, Cardinals 2, Angels 2, Royals 2, Cubs 1, Rockies 1, Marlins 1, Astros 1, Pirates 1, Nationals 1, Blue Jays 1, Rangers 1, Mariners 1, Athletics 1, Twins 1, Indians 1

Growing up in poverty or being abused by parents can lead to accumulated health problems later in life, according to research from Purdue University.
"Childhood disadvantage has long-term health consequences—much longer than most of us realize," said Kenneth F. Ferraro, distinguished professor of sociology. "A novel aspect of this study is that childhood disadvantage was linked to the onset of new health problems decades later."
People who earn a college degree before getting married are much less likely to become obese than those who graduate from college after getting married, according to a new study.
Heavily marketed as a safer, healthful alternative to smoking, electronic cigarettes are under fire from California health officials who have declared "vaping" a public health threat, hoping to head off the type of deceptive manipulation that tobacco companies succeeded with for decades, according to researchers.
Daughters of interracial parents are more likely than sons to identify as multiracial, and this is especially true for children of black-white couples, according to a new study in the February issue of the American Sociological Review.
A new study finds that many U.S. adults — roughly one in five — are deeply religious, know a lot about science, and support many practical uses of science and technology in everyday life, but reject scientific explanations of creation and evolution.
Same-sex couples encounter more obstacles to treatment for infertility than opposite-sex couples, suggests a new study that will be presented at the 110th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA).
A new study reveals that individuals in their 60s who give advice to a broad range of people tend to see their lives as especially meaningful. At the same time, this happens to be the age when opportunities for dispensing advice become increasingly scarce.
People who report having spiritual awareness have it vary throughout the day, rather than being constant, according to a study by University of Connecticut researchers.
A new study finds some surprising ways in which women's health at midlife is connected to when they had their first child and to their marital history. Researchers found that women who had their first child in their early 20s didn't report better health at midlife than those who had their first baby as a teen.
In an era where popular culture is increasingly recognized for its impact on lay understanding of health and medicine, few scholars have looked at television's powerful role in the creation of patient expectations, especially regarding pregnancy and birth.

Website translation (otherwise known as 'Website Localisation' involves taking an existing or new website and translating all content from French to Japanese and possibly additional languages as well. To perform a complete website localisation project, many different individuals need to work together as a team to deliver a finished product. Our own in-house I.T. department liaises with the translators from each language to ensure proper web-based typesetting and image edits per language.
With our team of translators that have collectively decades of experience translating websites working in conjunction with developers, graphic designers and typesetters that are fluent in Japanese, we can ensure that the "SEO" of your website is also transmitted into Japanese, and therefore any organic positioning that you have attained in French should, possibly with a little further advice from our internet marketing division, transfer over to your new Japanese almost immediately.
Here at London Translation Services, we would strongly advise caution when contacting other translation agencies that do not have the experience required, as once you have relinquished access to your website, it is possible that you could lose data, or have your databases corrupted. Trust a translation agency that can cite examples of their previous French to Japanese website translation work before proceeding.
Note that we most commonly work with bespoke web designs (as these are often used by corporate clients), but can also work with WordPress, Joomla, Magento, and many other CMS systems.
Further information about our translators and the specific qualifications of our French to Japanese translators that perform website translations can be found here:
Website French to Japanese Translation Pricing
London Translation offers competitive rates for all types of website translation projects, and as with all of our French to Japanese translation services, a free quotation is provided without commitment.
Other French to Japanese translation services
- Legalised Translation from French to Japanese
- Website Translation from French to Japanese
- Certified Translation from French to Japanese
- Technical Translation from French to Japanese
- Medical Translation from French to Japanese
- Standard Text Translation from French to Japanese
Note that London Translation also provides website translation services from Japanese to French.

Freddie Mac is on the attack.
The government-sponsored enterprise (FMCC) sued Bank of America Corp. (BAC), UBS (UBSN), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) and a dozen other banks in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, over alleged manipulation of the London interbank offered rate, which supposedly caused the mortgage giant substantial losses.
Government-owned Freddie Mac accuses the banks of acting collectively to hold down the U.S. dollar LIBOR to "hide their institutions' financial problems and boost their profits," according to Bloomberg, which cites the filing.
"Defendants' fraudulent and collusive conduct caused USD LIBOR to be published at rates that were false, dishonest and artificially low," Richard Leveridge, a lawyer for Freddie Mac, said in the complaint, made public on Tuesday.
LIBOR is the interest rate at which banks can borrow funds from other banks in the London interbank market. The rate is fixed each day by the British Bankers' Association. It is the most common benchmark interest rate index used to calculate adjustable rate mortgages. The LIBOR scandal alleges collusion among big banks to artificially manipulate the rate in their favor, and has rocked firms and governments across the globe, resulting in fines and penalties and the dismissal of key executives.
The news service notes that the complaint lists 15 banks as defendants as well as the British Bankers' Association. They include Citigroup (C), Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBS), the Royal Bank of Canada, Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse Group (CSGN).
Freddie Mac accuses the banks of fraud, violations of antitrust law and breach of contract. The housing financier is seeking unspecified damages for financial harm, as well as punitive damages and treble damages for violations of the Sherman Act.
"To the extent that defendants used false and dishonest USD LIBOR submissions to bolster their respective reputations, they artificially increased their ability to charge higher underwriting fees and obtain higher offering prices for financial products to the detriment of Freddie Mac and other consumers," the company said in the complaint, according to Bloomberg.

New products and changes introduced over the last week include a new arbitrage fund from Touchstone Investments and a new program from Commonfund.
In addition, AllianceBernstein added a new share class and revamped the retirement section of its website.
Here are the latest developments of interest to advisors:
1) Touchstone Investments Launches Arbitrage Fund
Touchstone Investments recently announced the launch of the Touchstone Arbitrage Fund (TMARX), which is subadvised by Longfellow Investment Management Co. TMARX seeks to achieve positive returns regardless of market conditions over the long-term. It primarily invests in securities of companies that are involved in publicly announced mergers and other corporate reorganizations that have been defined and disclosed. Non-deal arbitrage and fixed-income complement the fund's merger arbitrage investments. TMARX will be offered across several share classes.
The fund's portfolio management team includes Barbara McKenna, who is managing principal and portfolio manager; Alexander Graham; David Stuehr; and John Villela. Collectively, the team brings more than four decades of arbitrage investing experience to Touchstone.
2) Commonfund Launches Multi-Asset Program, Announces New Appointments
On Thursday Commonfund formally announced its multi-asset program, which is designed to increase investment solutions and support for the company's mid-sized (under $50 million in assets) non-profit clients. The firm also announced three new appointments.
Steven Snyder has been appointed to the position of managing director and head of the program. A 15-year veteran of the firm, he is currently managing director, head of client services.
Michael Strauss, current chief investment strategist and chief economist, will team with Snyder to communicate the firm's points of view to investors in the program. He will also work with Snyder to construct new investment strategies.
Marc Bernhardt, currently a relationship officer serving program clients, has been appointed to the role of director, portfolio strategist. Reporting to Strauss, he will direct the investment team's efforts in support of all clients of the program.
3) AllianceBernstein Launches Z Class of Retirement Shares, Enhances Website
AllianceBernstein L.P. announced Wednesday that it will now offer a new nonrevenue share class, Z shares, for a select group of mutual funds. Z shares will be the lowest-priced share class for the firm's funds. They became available for purchase on Wednesday for the following funds: AllianceBernstein Core Opportunities Fund (ADGZX); AllianceBernstein Discovery Value Fund (ABSZX); AllianceBernstein Equity Income Fund (AUIZX); AllianceBernstein Global Bond Fund (ANAZX); AllianceBernstein Growth and Income Fund (CBBZX); and AllianceBernstein High Income Fund (AGDZX).
Z shares are offered without 12b-1 fees or subtransfer agency fees and there is no minimum initial investment requirement. In addition, the firm will not make distribution services and educational support payments in respect of Class Z shares.
AllianceBernstein has also introduced a series of enhancements to the retirement section of its website. The newly revamped Retirement Leaders website provides tools and resources for retirement-focused advisors, including a personalized home screen with access to retirement practice-management resources, industry trends, interactive tools, recent legal and regulatory updates, tools to help build investment menus and other topics.

President George H.W. Bush shaves head to support boy with cancer
Son of Secret Service detail member battling leukemia
President George H. W. Bush has joined members of his Secret Service detail in shaving his head to show his support for the 2-year-old son of a detail member who is being treated for leukemia and started losing his hair.
The former president shaved his head earlier this week after learning, and seeing, that many members of his security detail had already gone under the razor to show their support for young Patrick, whose father Jon is a member of the Bush protective division.
Bush's protective division has also launched a website called Patrick's Pals to help with the boy's medical bills.
They have organized Patrick's Pals Motorcycle Benefit Run on Aug 10 in Kennebunkport. The 50-mile motorcycle ride through Maine will be followed by lunch and a silent auction to raise money for Patrick's treatments.
In addition to shaving his head, President Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush made a donation to Patrick's Pals.
The Bushes lost their second child, Robin, to leukemia at the age of 4.

After being deluged with comments against its plan to end a 5% threshold on commissions and markups, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority is giving broker-dealers yet another chance to weigh in.
As part of the process to develop a new, consolidated rulebook—merging the NYSE rule book with FINRA's—FINRA released a second request for comment via a Regulatory Notice on Thursday regarding its proposed rules governing markups, markdowns, commissions and fees.
FINRA initially sought comment on the proposed rules in Regulatory Notice 11-08, issued in 2011.
The regulatory agency said that in response to the first round of comments received, it is now proposing several changes to the proposed rules, including amendments to retain the 5% markup policy in NASD IM-2440-1 (Mark-Up Policy); revise certain of the relevant factors used to determine the reasonableness of markups and commissions; eliminate the requirement to provide commission schedules for equity securities transactions to retail customers; and extend the proposed markup rules to transactions in certain government securities.
Comments are due to FINRA by April 1.
Securities lawyer Patrick Burns of The Law Offices of Patrick J. Burns in Los Angeles told AdvisorOne on Tuesday that the industry was "surprised" by the 5% threshold when the regulator originally proposed it because FINRA "examiners have been saying 2% to 3% was acceptable during exams." Says Burns: "There appears to be a disconnect between this proposal and what FINRA's position is during exams."
Indeed, the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) told FINRA during the first round of comments that "NASAA wonders what deleterious effect the 5% cap would have and why FINRA would attempt to abandon 70 years of public policy through a notice for rule consolidation." The study cited by FINRA in its consolidation proposal, NASAA said, "found the average markup/commission falls between 2-2.2%. Therefore, the cap does not appear to be excessively burdensome to ordinary commercial interests but rather serves as a legal backstop to more extreme practices in the industry."
The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) told FINRA during the first round of comments that FINRA had said it would "provide future guidance on what percentage markups, markdowns and commissions would warrant additional regulatory scrutiny." SIFMA said in its March 2011 comment that while it "agrees with FINRA that the Five Percent Policy should be withdrawn, we believe that FINRA should withdraw the Five Percent Policy only in conjunction with issuing the new guidance, so that member firms may fully evaluate the potential consequences of the proposal. It is difficult for SIFMA to fully embrace giving up the Five Percent Policy without knowing what may replace it." Jon Henschen, president of Henschen & Associates, a broker-dealer recruiting firm, told AdvisorOne on Tuesday that the language in the proposal that says FINRA seeks to "determine reasonableness of markups and commissions" is "another way of saying 'we want to make it more difficult to charge the full 5%.'"
As noted in the current proposal, FINRA also wants to "extend the reach of the 5% rule to other types of securities," Henschen says. "This seems to be a continued effort [by FINRA] to wage war against commission business."
However, FINRA's proposal to eliminate the requirement to provide commission schedules for equity securities transactions to retail customers is a good idea, Henschen says, as "commission schedules to the client are a layer of disclosure that we can do without; clients don't track or read those disclosures anyway."

New York, New York, a Helluva Town, the Angels Were Up, Then the Angels Were Down
Friday, the Angels reached stop number two on the Four Corners Road Trip and returned to Interleague play with a bang. Joel Pinero notched his 100th career win as the Angels bested the Mets in a tight four to three victory. Both teams played well and the outcome was a question mark right up to the last pitch. The Angels bats were out in full force and clutch with men in scoring position. Torii Hunter, Maicer Izturis and Howie Kendrick all had a multiple hit game. Mark Trumbo, Peter Bourjos and Vernon Wells also contributed to the hit parade. Most importantly, every time the Mets scored, the Angels were able to score in response. That hasn't exactly been a given this season, a big part of the reason we're still below .500.
The defense was pretty good as well. Another highlight reel Bourjos catch up against the wall in center. A couple of great plays at first. We have got to work on keeping the other guys from stealing though, even though players like Jose Reyes are smart, fast and dangerous on the base paths. Fortunately, Pinero had a good start and kept the sinker ball down and the Bullpen did their thing with only minimal hiccoughs. Jordan Walden had us all on pins and needles when he walked the first two batters, but then he let the ice water back into his veins and struck out the next three in a row to earn the 16th save of his rookie season.
So what happened Saturday? Well, let's just say there are a lot of very satisfied goats walking around the Bronx right now. (Note to self, "if my husband laughs" is probably not the best barometer there is for appropriate. 😉 ) Without the benefit of the DH option, in order to get Bobby Abreu back into the lineup (good idea), we put our weakest outfield configuration on the field (bad idea). Abreu, Wells and Hunter all alone in that giant Citi Field outfield without Bourjos' speed? Very bad idea.
Then, Russell Branyan replaced Mark Trumbo at first in the starting lineup for reasons unbeknownst to me – can't we declare Branyan a cheap, failed experiment already? – and Erick Aybar proceeded to have one of those, fortunately rare, games when you wonder where his head is at and what joker oiled his glove with Vaseline. The official record shows only one error, but I watched every play and the Mets scorekeepers were extremely generous in this regard. Dan Haren had a bad night and the umpire's strike zone was doing him no favors. And with few exceptions, the team could not hit – Mark Trumbo, a late innings replacement going two for two with one deep homerun to right center, was our only highlight.
"Which is more important, a strong offense or a strong defense?" is one of those questions whose answer varies with every team and every season. For the Angels this season, the offense doesn't seem to be in a position to weigh in on that argument no matter what tweaks Scioscia might make to the lineup. In this situation, every single run is a big deal. Ours and theirs. If we aren't going to give the pitchers run support then we absolutely have to put the best possible defense out on the field every day. No more Branyan at first and leaving speed out of the outfield…oh, and when Aybar is having one of those games? Pull him. So, on to the rubber match, where I hope to see a lineup that reflects our best defense, and then on to Miami:

Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful dads out there, and especially to mine!
Daddy, softball coach, friend, confidant, giver of hugs, encourager of dreams and occasional shoulder to cry on, like most fathers, mine has worn many, many hats, and all of them much better than he will ever know. My father gave me my head for trivia, my irreverent sense of humor, my stubborn streak, my love of music, John Steinbeck and Mark Twain, my blue eyes and freckles and so much more. He taught me the value of working hard, the power of a good laugh and if the ball falls into your glove, never look surprised. And my love for the game? Well, as with so many things that are wonderful, I owe that to both my father and my mother. Thank you does not even begin to cover it, but it will have to do.

Orioles - 000 200 000 - 2 10 0David Ortiz clubbed a three-run home run to dead center in the first and Adam LaRoche went the other way in the eighth for a two-run Monster dong to lead Boston to victory. Lester (7.1-8-2-2-9, 109) had another strong outing and the Red Sox are now 1.5 GB in the East.
Red Sox - 310 100 02x - 7 10 1
Other good hitting news: Jacoby Ellsbury had two doubles and two RBI and Jason Bay singled, doubled and walked. Daniel Bard (.2 IP) and Ramon Ramirez (1 IP), both of whom have had little work since the break, finished up for Lester.
Jeremy Guthrie (5.12, 89 ERA+) / Jon Lester (3.87, 120 ERA+)
Adam LaRoche will likely get his first start in a Red Sox uniform tonight.
[Update: He's at first base, batting 7th, wearing #23. However, Kevin Youkilis has the night off, so Mike Lowell remains at third.]
LaRoche, on his expected playing time:
I've talked with Tito a little bit, but we haven't discussed whether it's going to be a platoon situation, or once a week, or never, or every day. I have no idea. I told Tito that I'm pretty easy, and I'm not going to complain much. You tell me when you want me to play, and I'll be out there.And:
To come over and play for this club and have a chance to move forward in the playoffs is something that, when it happened my first two years in Atlanta [2004-05], I think I took it for granted. We haven't been anywhere close the last few years with Pittsburgh. I can handle not playing as much if we have a chance to play in October.Lester has allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of his past nine starts. He has not allowed an earned run to the Orioles this year: seven shutout inning on both April 19 and June 29. ... Guthrie has given up 22 home runs this year, the most in the American League; he's actually tied with Joe Saunders. ... In five games since returning from the DL, Mike Lowell has hit .412 (7-for-17).
Also: A's/Yankees at 1 PM.
