About Beaver Creek
Nothing defines "first-class resort" as perfectly as Beaver Creek, with its immaculately groomed slopes, charming village, heated pathways, escalators and some of the best skiing and snowboarding Colorado has to offer. This family-friendly village is just a couple of minutes up the hill from the conveniences found in Avon, but it offers a world-class resort living experience that feels worlds away. The 18-hole premier golf course has some of the most picturesque holes in the valley, while wintertime skiing offers guests a unique village-to-village experience connecting Beaver Creek to Bachelor Gulch and Arrowhead. The Vilar Performing Arts Center attracts big-name acts throughout the winter and summer months, offering a performance schedule so diverse that it rivals what you'd find in large cities. The Resort's slogan, "Not exactly roughing it," captures its elegance and luxury perfectly. Real estate includes condominiums near and around the Village's core, where European architectural influences transport residents and guests abroad. Impressive ski-in/ski-out homes scattered around Beaver Creek's base areas, as well as golf course properties below the village core, round out this gated community that's quaint in size but massive in its beauty, luxury, privacy and charm. Beaver Creek Resort is consistently ranked among the best ski areas in North America. Known for its impeccable service, pristine grooming, steep-and-deep runs, and the Vail Valley's home to World Cup alpine skiing with the annual Birds of Prey men's ski races, Beaver Creek offers a skiing and snowboarding experience that's hard to match anywhere in the country. When bakers serve warm chocolate chip cookies every day at the base of the mountain to boot, who could complain?

The emerald ash borer — a pest responsible for destroying millions of ash trees nationwide — has now been founded in half of Illinois' 102 counties.
Officials at the Illinois Department of Agriculture announced Friday confirmed cases in residential areas of Peoria and Tazewell counties.
The beetles were found in Dunlap and Peoria in Peoria County, and in the village of Minier in Tazewell County.
Both counties are outside the 49-county quarantine area where infestations had already been confirmed.
"These finds are significant because they occurred outside the boundaries of the state quarantine that was established to prevent the spread of the beetles," Warren Goetsch, chief of environmental programs for the Department of Agriculture, said in a statement.
Up to now, said Goetsch, new infections found this year were within the quarantine area. The quarantine is intended to prevent the spread through movement of invested wood and tree nursery products, and through the sale of firewood.
Larvae of the metallic-green beetles burrow into the bark of ash trees, causing the trees to starve and eventually die.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates 250 million ash trees have been killed since the first beetles were discovered in Detroit in 2002.
State Department of Agriculture spokesman Jeff Squibb said Peoria and Tazewell counties would automatically be added to the quarantine, and that it was likely other nearby counties would be added in coming months.
"Later this year, after our trapping work has been completed, the department plans to formally amend the quarantine," Squibb said in an email, "and will consider adding additional counties that haven't yet had a confirmed detection but are likely to be infested because of their proximity to counties that have had a confirmation."

Puritans, Politicians, and Paternalism: Can We Take Back Control of Our Own Lives?
Wednesday, August 10, 2011
Noon (Lunch Included)
Featuring David Boaz, Executive Vice President, Cato Institute.
B-339 Rayburn House Office Building

Download a Podcast of the Event (MP3)
We were promised a government that would protect our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But H. L. Mencken said that Puritanism is "the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy," and politicians on both left and right certainly demonstrate that. In today's world there is practically no aspect of life left free from government intervention — ranging from restrictions on the food on our plates to the cars we drive, where we smoke, what video games we can play, and whom we can marry. Both conservatives and liberals fall prey to the idea that they need to protect us from our own vices and weaknesses. Is the notion of personal responsibility and freedom still politically and culturally viable? What can be done to extend the vision of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to more people and more aspects of our lives? And how can politicians and staffers help get us back on that track?

On the night of April 11, 1912, a mighty ocean liner steamed straight into an iceberg in the north Atlantic. Passengers were thrown from their chairs and rushed in terror to the decks. Although her bow was badly buckled, no one was hurt, and the ship limped onwards, to reach New York in safety.
The clue there is in the date, for the ship in question was a French liner, the Niagara. It was three nights later that the Titanic sank near the same spot.
So why did the Titanic, despite warnings of ice ahead, hit an iceberg herself, and why did she fail to survive the collision? The basic answer is clear: she was going too fast. The conclusion of the official British inquiry remains self-evident. However far away the iceberg was when the lookouts saw it - their testimony was evasive to say the least - there was too little time to avoid it.
It's often suggested that Captain Smith was trying to set some sort of speed record. He could never have captured the Blue Riband for the fastest-ever Atlantic crossing; the Titanic simply wasn't built to outpace sleek rivals like Cunard's Mauretania. Smith knew, however, that if the Titanic arrived ahead of schedule it would attract favourable publicity, and the presence on board of White Star chairman J. Bruce Ismay may well have spurred him on. In fact, it was standard practice for liners to race at top speed through the night, and only take evasive action if confronted by an obstacle.
Not that it was freakish bad luck for an iceberg to be in the Titanic's path. While icebergs were not usually expected that far south, the sea that night was full of them. When the sun rose the next morning, "dozens and dozens" were in sight. Even more to the point, barely three miles ahead the ocean was covered by a colossal unbroken ice field, seventy miles long by twelve miles wide. And the Titanic had been warned by wireless messages from nearby ships.
When First Officer Murdoch, on duty on the bridge of the Titanic, did take evasive action, he did entirely the wrong thing. His attempt to steer around the iceberg, while throwing her engines into reverse, produced the nautical equivalent of a skid. As what's still the leading manual on seamanship advised: "this course is much more likely to cause collisions than to prevent them". On top of that, there's plausible evidence that the helmsman initially turned the ship's wheel the wrong way, losing crucial seconds.
Had the Titanic hit the iceberg head-on, she would probably, like the Niagara, have survived. Instead, she scraped along the side of the berg, which had the twin effects of weakening the rivets that joined the plates of her hull, and of slicing her open, effectively "unzipping" her. The much-vaunted watertight compartments had been designed to protect her against sharp impacts; no one had considered the effects of a prolonged scrape.
So what, or who, was to blame for why the Titanic sank? Rather than the very existence of the iceberg, or the unusual conditions that made it hard to spot - hazards the world's greatest liner should have been able to cope with - it seems fair to blame the design of the ship and the inadequate response of her crew. And to add a special word of condemnation for J. Bruce Ismay, the man who decided not to equip the Titanic with enough lifeboats to rescue everyone on board.
Greg Ward is the author of The Rough Guide to The Titanic, and writes a popular blog on The Titanic. His website details all his work for Rough Guides.

The Mets: Where Careers Go to Die?
The Yankees are known as New York's number one baseball team. The Bronx has seen 27 World Series titles and has a history of winning. Year after year the Yankees are in the hunt for the playoffs and they always have a shot at winning it all.
But on the other side of the city in Flushing, Queens, the Mets have not had an easy run these past few years. The last time the Mets won a Championship was 1986 and the last time they even came close to a World Championship was 2006. The so-called "Amazin' Team" made it to the National League Championship Series and pushed the St. Louis Cardinals to a decisive Game Seven.
The Mets played their hearts out in that NLCS. That was evidenced by an incredible catch made by Endy Chavez in the final game. In the top of the sixth, Chavez tracked a fly ball (hit by Scott Rolen) to the left field wall at Shea Stadium. He leaped up, stuck his glove out over the wall, and brought the ball back into the park for an out.
He turned a two-run homer into a spectacular double play.
Tied 1-1 going into the ninth inning, the Cards took the lead. Yadier Molina swung his bat and delivered a tie-breaking two-run home run to give St. Louis a 3-1 lead. The Mets threatened in the bottom of the frame, World Series in sight.
What could have been the Mets' dream season ended with Carlos Beltran staring blankly at a disgusting breaking ball thrown by Adam Wainwright.
Strike three called. Beltran out. NLCS over. Cardinals win.
From that called strike three and basically losing the pennant by one pitch, it seemed the Mets never recovered – despite a number of attempts to better themselves. The team from Flushing has gone in a downward spiral; a torturous period of bad luck and misfortune. It just seems as if black cloud has followed the team around since Chavez's catch.
Following the sad ending in the '06 NLCS, the Mets went out and got the best pitcher on the trading block. Then-General Manager Omar Minaya made an offer to the Minnesota Twins and the Mets gave up some prospects for ace and two-time American League Cy Young Award Winner (2004, 2006) Johan Santana.
As the Mets' biggest off-season acquisition, Santana did not have a poor year in '07 (15-13, 3.33 ERA) but he did lead the N.L. in home runs allowed with 33.
But the real story of the year wasn't Santana. It was what has become known as "The Collapse."
For most of the year, the Mets dominated the NL Eastern Division. Into the stretch, they played exceptionally well, as they were 21 games over .500 at 83-62 on Sept. 12.
As they say however, objects in the rearview mirror are closer than they appear – and the Phillies were not far behind the Mets.
Leading Philadelphia by seven games in the division – with only 12 games left to play – the Mets folded and lost six of their final seven games. In a deadlock for first place with Philly on the last day of the season, the Mets were beaten 8-1 by the Florida Marlins.
Meanwhile the Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 6-1 to win the NL East – the same NL East the Mets had a firm grasp on earlier that month. The Phillies were heading to the playoffs and the Mets were going home for the winter.
It couldn't possibly get any worse for the Mets after 2007, right?
Not quite. After the '07 collapse came the collapse of 2008.
Throughout '08 the Mets had problems, as they fired manager Willie Randolph mid-season and they let go of Pitching Coach Rick Peterson. Jerry Manuel, a former Manager of the Year, took over. But even he couldn't guide the bullpen in the right direction, as the Mets' relievers failed them in big spots.
It once again came down to the Mets and the Marlins on the last day of the season.
If the Milwaukee Brewers lost and the Mets won, New York would have captured the NL Wild Card. If the Brew Crew won and the Mets lost, Milwaukee was in.
Lo and behold, the Mets lost 4-2 to Florida on Sept. 28 and the Brewers won, a tragic way to end the final regular season game at Shea Stadium. When it was all over and the meltdown was complete, the Mets of old came out for a postgame ceremony. Players like Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden were on hand to send off Shea Stadium in a nice way.
But to the fans, it felt more like a funeral than a celebration. Two years, two chances for a playoff appearance. And both times, the Mets came up just short at the last minute.
Since then there hasn't been any room for a postseason collapse for the Mets, simply because they haven't been in a playoff race following the '08 meltdown. They attempted to fix their scuffling bullpen by signing closer Francisco Rodriguez prior to 2009. Yet even in trying to build the 'pen, things didn't work out.
Case in point: June 12, 2009.
Luis Castillo, a second baseman the Mets traded for in 2007, botched a pop-up that cost the Mets a game – and not just any game: a Subway Series game against their cross-town rivals, the Yankees.
With K-Rod on the mound, two outs, and the Mets leading 8-7 with two men on base, Alex Rodriguez swung and batted a popup behind second base. Castillo got underneath the ball and readied himself to catch it.
When the ball came down he closed his glove, only for it to pop right out and fall to the right field grass, like a piece of bread exploding out of a faulty toaster. Castillo, obviously without his wherewithal, failed to get either base runner out, throwing the ball to second base rather than home plate.
The Yankees scored two runs on the error and won the game 9-8.
It didn't get any better for the Mets from there, as they ended their first season in Citi Field with a record of 70-92, good for fourth place in the NL East behind Philadelphia, Florida, and Atlanta.
After 2009 the Mets once again tried to land a big-name free agent. Left fielder Jason Bay, coming off a good year playing for the Boston Red Sox, was available and on Minaya's radar. They signed him to be a power hitter in the middle of the lineup, hoping he would produce and drive in over 100 runs for the season.
Bay did anything but that.
He finished 2010 with a batting average of .259 and only hit six homers with 47 RBIs. It wasn't exactly what the Mets had in mind, as he had hit 36 home runs with 119 RBIs in Boston the year before. He was also sidelined for a good portion of the year, as he sustained a concussion in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The unlucky outfielder smacked his head against the outfield wall while tracking down a fly ball.
Bay only played 95 games last year and began this season on the disabled list with a rib injury.
Beltran, who was another big-ticket free agent the Mets acquired, has also had a rash of injuries. He had surgery on his knee in January of 2010 and it sparked controversy. The Mets' organization said the procedure was done without their consent and they stressed their disappointment in Beltran about not consulting them about it first.
Before the Mets signed Beltran before the 2005 season, he gave them – and every other team in baseball – a good reason to seek him out. The centerfielder had slugged 38 homers in '04 for Kansas City and Houston, and put on quite a hitting show in the 2004 NLCS, which the Astros played against the Cardinals. In that NLCS, he crushed four homers, knocked in five runs, and hit .417.
In his first season with the Mets Beltran hit 16 homers, recorded 78 RBIs, and he averaged .266.
Not a bad season by any means, but certainly not what the Mets had hoped for. Beltran had one outstanding season for the Mets in 2006 – ironically the only season in recent years the Mets have been any good. In '06 he clobbered 41 homers, registered 116 RBIs, and hit .275.
Statistically, Beltran's power numbers have declined every year since '06.
The offense has not been the only facet of the Mets' game that has been suffering. Their pitching – namely the hurlers they signed to get the job done – have also betrayed them.
Like Beltran, Santana has had one standout year (2008; 16-7, 2.53 ERA) but other than that season, he has been rather ineffective. He has been hurt for three straight years going back to 2009 and at the end of last year he left his Sept. 2 start early and was ultimately shut down. Later that month he had surgery on his pitching shoulder.
This year Santana has yet to pitch and will not begin the 2011 season until end of June or early July.
K-Rod, who had set the all-time saves record in a single season (62 in 2008) before going to Flushing, has not done anything close to what he did while playing for the Los Angeles Angels. Rodriguez went 3-6 in his first year with the Mets and blew seven saves (35 saves in 42 opportunities). He also had a back injury in 2009, once again an unfortunate happening for a player the Mets put a lot of stock into.
This year K-Rod already has one blown save, but one win. Against the Marlins on Saturday, he blew what would have been his first save of the year. However the Mets rallied and bailed him out, scoring three runs in the tenth to beat the fish 6-4.
The day before on Opening Day, the Mets suffered their first loss of the year, a 6-2 defeat at the hands of the Marlins. A person who works for SNY, the Mets' cable network, played a clip from the TV show "Family Guy" that poked fun at how poor the Mets have played these past few years.
With all of the collapsing, the breaking down, the failure year after year, the injuries to the big stars, the question has to be asked: if you sign with the Mets, are you committing career suicide? No matter what they do, will they ever be contenders again? Is the team, which has basically been reduced to nothing more than a laughingstock, going to eventually turn things around?
This year, probably not. The Mets just do not have the pitching to go toe-to-toe with the Phillies and some of the other teams in the division, such as the Braves. Combine that with the lackluster run production the Mets showcase, they do not stand a chance.
Even though the Mets are failing, Stewie Griffin is poking fun at them, and the state of the team is seemingly in a state of flux, one thing remains constant: the fans.
Mets fans are very loyal. They know that they are doomed to watch their team fall down and never garner enough energy to pick themselves back up. Yet they still go out to Citi Field, and still root for players like Beltran, Santana, Bay, and K-Rod, and others like David Wright, Ike Davis, and Jose Reyes.
I don't know how they put up with losing, but they do. I tip my (Yankee) cap to them all.

Watertown RMV worker offered illegals licenses for fees, police say
Adriana Ferreira facing several charges after arrest
A Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles employee was arrested Friday in Watertown by special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security.
Adriana Ferreira, a naturalized U.S. citizen, was charged in connection with a number of violations of including corruption, bribery and larceny, officials said.
Special agents begin investigating Ferreira in March 2011. The investigation revealed that Ferreira was using her position at the RMV to defraud illegal aliens, police said. The illegal aliens believed they would receive a driver's license for a fee of $2,000.
In this case, it was determined that illegal aliens never received any licenses from the RMV or Ferreira. Ferreira also claimed to have a contact at ICE who had the ability to delay an illegal alien's deportations for a fee.
"The Registry of Motor Vehicles has zero tolerance for any behavior that compromises the integrity of our operations or intimidates our customers," Sara Lavoie, MassDOT press secretary, said,
Ferreira began working at the Registry of Motor Vehicles on Aug. 29, 2010.
Ferreira was held on $50,000 cash bail. If she posts that amount, she must surrender her passport, remain within Massachusetts, have no contact with victims or witnesses in the case and wear a GPS monitoring device.

The first pose for students of yoga instructor Alice Van Ness: putting their cell phones in the off position.
But after a Facebook employee snuck in some phone time in between downward dog poses and Van Ness expressed her displeasure, the yoga teacher is now in the fired position.
Van Ness received a termination notice from Plus One Health Management, which provided yoga classes on the Facebook campus, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. She was fired because "saying 'no' to Facebook employees is a no-no," the newspaper reported.
Van Ness begins every class -- at Facebook or anywhere else -- by asking students to turn off technology and focus on the yoga for the duration of the class. The offending student was asked to turn off her phone but was tuned into her device during class. Van Ness "shot her a look," the newspaper reported, but the student later complained.
The firing cost Van Ness a yoga teaching position at Cisco, the newspaper reported. She had also asked a Cisco employee not to take a photo during class.
Can tech employees be asked to tune out of technology during yoga classes -- and if so, can they be expected to listen? The jury's still out. But so is Van Ness.

DURHAM, N.H. - Phil DeSimone (East Amherst, N.Y.) and Paul Thompson (Derry, N.H.) recorded three points apiece to lead the seventh-ranked University of New Hampshire men's hockey team to Friday night's 5-2 Hockey East victory against second-ranked Boston University at the Whittemore Center.
UNH extended its unbeaten streak to nine games (6-0-3) to improve to 6-1-3 overall and 4-0-2 in Hockey East; the Wildcats also extended its unbeaten streak against league foes at the Whittemore Center to 23 games (16-0-7). BU lost for the first time this season to fall to 6-1-4, 4-1-4.
Thompson scored two goals, including the game-winning goal, and had an assist while DeSimone tallied a goal and two assists. Matt DiGirolamo (Ambler, Pa.) made 20 saves and BU counterpart Kieran Millan stopped 44 shots.
The Terriers took an early 1-0 lead with a goal at 2:26 of the first period. Charlie Coyle won possession in the left corner and moved the puck to the lower-left circle, where Sahir Gill touched the puck back to David Warsofsky and his shot sailed into the upper-right corner.
DeSimone, from behind the net, centered a pass to the low slot and Mike Sislo (Superior, Wis.) swept the puck out of the crease to Paul Thompson (Derry, N.H.), whose shot found the upper-right corner of the net to tie the score, 1-1, at 6:13.
John Henrion (Holden, Mass.) gave the 'Cats a lead they would not relinquish at 8:03 when he intercepted a pass behind the net and curled around the right post. Instead of attempting a backhanded wraparound shot, Henrion turned to his forehand and slid a shot under Millan.
New Hampshire, which recorded 40-plus shots for the fifth time in 10 games this season, extended its lead to 4-1 with goals 24 seconds apart - at 5:05 and 5:29 - in the second period. From the high slot, Damon Kipp (Salmon Arm, British Columbia) blasted a shot over the cage. The puck ricocheted off the glass out towards the left post and Thompson lifted the puck under the crossbar to score the Wildcats' third goal of the night. DeSimone was also credited with an assist on the play.
BU's Joe Pereira broke behind the UNH defense in the slot but was unable to deke DiGirolamo, who stood his ground at the top of the crease to make the save at 5:20. The 'Cats quickly moved the puck to mid-ice and Stevie Moses (Leominster, Mass.) snapped a centering pass from the right dashers to Mike Borisenok (Watervliet, N.Y.) at the blue line. Borisenok flicked the puck forward to Nick Sorkin (Rockville, Md.) and his low shot from the left circle went inside the far post. It marked the first career point for Sorkin, as well as the first point by a UNH freshman this season.
Warsofsky's second goal of the night pulled BU within 4-2 at 11:28 of the second stanza. With the Terriers on a 5-on-3 power play, Alex Chiasson snapped a pass from the low-left side to Max Nicastro on the top-left side. Nicastro swung the puck across the slot and Warsofsky rifled a shot into the upper-right corner of the net.
UNH responded with a power-play strike at 18:45 to reestablish a three-goal lead, 5-2. Sislo initiated the sequence with a pass from the left corner to Blake Kessel (Verona, Wis.) at the near point. Kessel sent the puck back down low to Thompson. He threw the puck to the top of the crease and DeSimone redirected a shot past Millan into the net.
New Hampshire and BU conclude the home-and-home series Nov. 20 (7 p.m.) at the Terriers' Agganis Arena. The Wildcats' next home game is Tuesday, Nov. 23 (7 p.m.) against Brown University. Tickets to the Brown game and all UNH home games are available online at www.UNHWildcats.com.

Horoscopes: week beginning March 10
ARIES: Aries' natives are well positioned to deal with any complications in their career path or in their relationship with superiors or officials during March 10-12. You seem to be very well organised during March 13-16, facilitating progress along your chosen career path or generally, in connection to your life direction.
TAURUS: Taureans are sitting in a commanding position during March 10-12, whether they are studying, negotiating or travelling. It's all about control of the basics. March 13-16 is excellent for research, the acquisition of knowledge, travel, and legal matters. This is a long journey so attention to detail is important.
GEMINI: Written and oral communication skills will come in handy as you are managing financial interests during March 10-12. You'll quickly go straight to the heart of the problem. Gemini's management of minimal financial resources is sound and considered during March 13-16. You'll get great mileage out of your dollars with good planning.
CANCER: Romance is a strongly motivating influence in your life during March 10-12, when you'll delight in the "power of two". A relationship has the potential of changing your life. March 13-16 is a time of strengthened partnerships, as actions taken now are likely to shore up associations and contribute to the stability and longevity of the association.
LEO: You are intent on taking control of various aspects of your life during March 10-12, whether it's the conditions in which you work or aspects of your health. It's a matter of going through the routines and motions where work is concerned during March 13-16. Steady progress and good outcomes can be expected from these efforts.
VIRGO: Your daily routine is changing to include more enjoyable routines. Being creative and productive is important to you and you'll be moving in this direction during March 10-12. There's a strong connection to children during March 13-16, when it is possible to establish good communication with essential parties and to plan well.

Routine and sameness is an advantage where home and family is concerned, especially during March 13-16. There is much that can be achieved by working together.
SCORPIO: The personal astuteness of Scorpio individuals is an asset in any situation that requires negotiation during March 10-12, making it an excellent time for contractual matters. Plans laid down during March 13-16 are very workable and results are enduring. Great attention to detail and personal effort will ensure quality outcomes.
SAGITTARIUS: March 10-12 is an excellent time for financial issues, whether Sagittarian natives are seeking out new income sources or negotiating a better pay packet. Sagittarian finances are enhanced by a steady attitude and hand during March 13-16. This is a good time to look for work, but better in maintaining the status quo.
CAPRICORN: You feel as if you can change your life during March 10-12, which is pretty close to the truth. Your destiny is in your hands and you know where you're heading. Capricorn natives are very sure of themselves during March 13-16, guided by a certain direction and supported by family. All this makes for the easier achievement of goals.
AQUARIUS: Whilst Aquarian careers are meeting with problems, you are in a position to manage the situation well during March 10-12. You may need to move to a less prestigious position. March 13-16 is a time of treading water and Aquarius is sensible enough to realise this current reality of their life. It's all about maintaining the status quo right now.
PISCES: A strong sense of destiny is guiding Pisceans these days as your objectives are clearly within sight. You'll be moving along this path to success during March 10-12. Pisceans are working steadily towards their long-term goals during March 13-16. Solid progress is made then whilst you find time to enjoy your regular social connections.

Projects Abroad celebrates World Book Day 2016 around the world
World Book Day is celebrated on 23 April and serves as a reminder of the importance of literacy for children around the world. According to UNESCO, an estimated 122 million youth globally are illiterate, and 67.4 million children do not attend school, inevitably leading to illiteracy and further problems later on in life.
Through our many Care and Teaching projects, Projects Abroad promotes literacy rich environments to hundreds of children who do not have access to formal schooling. With the aid of comprehensive management plans and other tools, we are committed to monitoring and improving literacy rates in the schools, care centres and communities in which we work, as well as improving access to education through resources, volunteers and safe learning environments. Through such efforts, we have achieved an increase of over 5.8% in access to literacy materials in 34 schools across 11 countries, in the last year alone.
To mark World Book Day this year, Projects Abroad will be holding events in nine destinations to highlight the importance of reading and writing for children. From mobile libraries to reading sessions and one-on-one tuition, our dedicated staff and volunteers in these countries will work to inspire children with the written word and to encourage a passion for learning.
The following events will take be taking place around the world:
There will be a storytelling session at the National Children's Library in Ulaanbaatar. Volunteers will read for children from our various placements and we will also do a short story/comic book competition for the older children.
We will continue our ongoing work in running reading clubs across 15 kindergartens. We donate these books and the volunteers run el círculo del cuento, or 'Story Circle', with the children every day.
Staff and volunteers will be building a library for one of our village-based schools. We will construct the book shelves and buy new books to go with it. Reading and writing English is very important in Fiji, as it is the common language between the diverse ethnic groups in the country (primarily i-Taukei and Indo-Fijian).
Our mobile library will travel to disadvantaged communities north of Phnom Penh. We will have storytelling in English and will also donate basic literacy materials. Many people in these communities earn less than $3 a day, so large numbers of children do not have access to formal education.
We will take our mobile library to an isolated village primary school, bringing books in French and Ewe to the children. Some of these books will be on loan but we will also donate basic materials. Additionally, we will continue with our weekly reading club at a local orphanage.
Staff and volunteers will repair bookshelves to create a mini library at one of our placements, Wonderful Love. Projects Abroad built this school in the Akuapem Hills and funds it as the only educational facility in the community. Over 160 children attend this school.
We have a long-standing Literacy Programme in Cape Town, providing one-on-one tuition to children who struggle with reading and writing. Volunteers and staff will lead three groups from this project in a story writing workshop; children will read their stories to their peers and a prize will be awarded for the best story. Healthy snacks will be provided.
From our Bring a Book Campaign we have built a library in our IT training centre in Panadura. We will run a Story Time session, where volunteers will create a story book and perform the story for children from the local Montesorri Preschool.
Volunteers will take part in a book donation at a local school near Arusha. The school has an under-supplied library which we hope to fill with books and writing materials.
We wish all staff and volunteers the best of luck and we look forward to sharing many stories and photos from our World Book Day celebrations around the globe.
If you're interested in contributing to sustainable literacy programmes for underprivileged children, find out how you can get involved in our Care and Teaching projects in 30 destinations.

The NBA is BACK baby and so are the daily notes. This morning, fantasy owners were greeted by their players with a trick or treat. Oh LeBron James (26/10/3/2, 2 3PM), a snickers bar! Thank you Rajon Rondo (20/7/14, 9-14 FG), I love butterfingers! Kyrie Irving (29/6/3/0/1, 3 3PM), I can take two?!! Uh Steve Nash (7/2/4/0/1, 1 3PM), a f*cking apple? Are you joking me? Don't you know parents make you throw shit like that away? WTF, and besides who wants an apple?! Sigh. In case you didn't hear the general panic from California, the Lakers lost last night to the Dirkless Mavs. It's OK though, in the spirit of Halloween they let the Bobcats dress up as Lakers and let them play. Such nice guys. The important thing to remember about the first week or two is don't overreact/panic. Don't suddenly trade Nash or give up on Bradley Beal (8/3/3/1, 2 3PM). There were only 3 games last night but here's the other fantasy relevant news from the NBA…
But first, we have yet another Razzball Commenter League open for those of you who really procrastinate! Okay, now on to the relevant news:
Trevor Ariza – The Good: 2 3PM, 3 rebs, 4 ast, 3 stl, 2 blk. The Bad: 9 points. The Ugly: 3-8 FG and 1-2 FT. Besides the blocks, this is status quo from Ariza. If you're punting %'s, he's your man!
Jordan Crawford – 11/3/5/1/1. Tied with A.J. Price (Wizards starting PG!) with the most minutes (29) despite coming off the bench. Crawford should be a factor in fantasy but beware his ghastly FG% (4-13 last night, 0-6 from 3).
Anderson Varejao – 9 points, 23 rebounds, 9 assists, and 2 blocks. I'm taking all stat lines against the Wizards this year with a grain of salt. If you see the Wizards coming up for your fantasy player, rejoice!
Tristan Thompson – See Varejao, Anderson. 12/10/5/1
Dion Waiters – Despite it being against the Wiz, it was good to see Waiters taking the second most shots on the team. Looks like I'm going to have to learn how to pronounce his name after all. 17/2/0/3 with 2 3PM.
Darren Collison – If Collison can torch Steve Nash like this, I think I'd start even A.J. Price against the lakers. 17 points, 2 boards, 4 dimes, 3 steals and 8-12 FG.
Jae Crowder – 8/3/2/1 with 2 3PM. After a very successful preseason he may see limited minutes like last night (20) if Shawn Marion (11/9/4/1/1) continues to be this effective. Oh, preseason.
The Lakers Bench – Absolutely worthless with no one playing over 15 minutes. They're gonna play Nash and Kobe Bryant like it's 2002.
Brandon Bass – Very effective last night going 6-11 from the field with 16 points, 11 rebounds and 1 assist. With Jared Sullinger and Jeff Green competing for minutes, this is a great sign for owners who took Bass with a late round flyer. Could be matchup based though, so be careful.
Mario Chalmers – 36 minutes along with 8 points, 1 board, 11 assists, 3 steals. Norris Cole? 6 minutes.
Ray Allen – Tried to downplay all the leaving Boston hoopla but I think the stat line says it all. 5-7 FG, 7-8 FT, 2 3PM, 19 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists. After the game was over, he ran over to Kevin Garnett and mercifully pulled the knife out of his back. Allen smiled the entire time.

Confession: I LOVE Italian food and I make a lot of pasta dishes. I have always said that any dish with pasta, tomato sauce, and cheese is a dish for me! I am a huge fan of chicken parmesan and have tried several ways to make it. In the past, my go to method of making it was to bread the chicken, then bake it. Unfortunately, I always ended up with chicken that was mushy at the bottom, no matter what breading method I tried. One day, I was watching Food Network and I saw Aaron McCargo, Jr. (aka Big Daddy) make a chicken parmesan where the chicken breast was fried, instead of baked, and it has become my go to recipe for chicken parm!
Big Daddy's chicken parmesan, while incredibly delicious, is also incredibly intensive…pounding the chicken breast until it is thin, breading, frying…what a mess. I do not mind putting in the work the recipe requires on a Sunday night, but on a weeknight, it's just not happening. So, what's a busy mom to do? Improvise of course! I created 'Popcorn Chicken Parmesan' and it couldn't be a simpler dish to make.
Popcorn Chicken Parmesan
1 cup thin spaghetti
1 Jar spaghetti sauce
1 bag shredded mozzarella cheese
½ bag frozen popcorn chicken
Cook pasta according to package directions. Fry, or bake, popcorn chicken (I popped mine in the deep fryer) and cut each "popcorn" in half. Heat the spaghetti sauce in small pan. In a large pot, combine the pasta, sauce, mozzarella, and popcorn chicken. Heat thoroughly, stirring frequently to ensure that the cheese melts. Serve with a vegetable and garlic bread.
The Verdict
This dish was rated five stars by everyone in the house! My daughter says that she likes this dish better than my normal chicken parmesan because she did not have to cut a large chicken breast. Lazy? Of course!
Side note: my husband and I both took the leftovers for lunch the following day and it was just as good the second time around.

In an op-ed in The Financial Times on Monday, Larry Summers sent a wake-up call to Congress: "We averted depression in 2008/09 by acting decisively," he wrote. "Now we can avert a lost decade by recognizing economic reality."
According to Daniel Alpert, managing partner at Westwood Capital, Summers is a little late waking up to reality.
"The difference between me and Larry Summers is I've been saying this for a number of years," Alpert declares in the accompanying video. "Summers decided he'd get religion over the weekend...the truth is he's going with the zeitgeist."
Indeed, just last week Alpert wrote a report entitled The Flight of the Doves, which tackles many of the same themes Summers addressed in his op-ed: Namely, that America is at risk of following Japan's path toward prolonged economic stagnation.
"Merely not plunging off [a] cliff is not the same as finding a bridge across the gorge between current conditions and renewed prosperity," Alpert writes. "It is time to engage in the harder work required to build that bridge."
That hard works includes literally building bridges and other badly needed infrastructure projects that were missing from Obama's $787 billion stimulus package. "We not only need some additional stimulus, we need to be able to target that stimulus on stuff that actually produces employment," Alpert says, calling Obama's stimulus package "basically a pork barrel bill."
Infrastructure projects will not only put people to work but will help close the competitive gap between the U.S. and emerging economies, which Alpert says is at the heart of the real structural issue facing America. Namely, that the end of the Cold War created a "massive supply shock" of cheap labor as 3.3 billion people joined a global economy previously dominated by the roughly 660 million people of North America, Western Europe and Japan.
"There are very beneficial things about uniting the world into a global economy," Alpert says. "Long-term, it's a situation we'll all be signing kumbaya together but that's a long way to come."
In the meantime, "massive imbalances" between the wage rates and standards of living in the developed vs. emerging economies, as well as the huge debt overhang in the G7, will put downward pressure on economic activity and prices.
In other words, deflation.
"Ben Bernanke certainly understand the problem: when he wakes up at 4 in the morning he's worried about deflation," Alpert says. "The folks in the White House, certainly the folks on the Hill have a great misconception on the problems we face."
In the accompanying video, Alpert discusses his policy prescriptions for dealing with these structural issues, which move beyond the ongoing 'austerity vs. stimulus' debate in Washington, as detailed in his report, which can be found at his blog on EconoMonitor.

|Jamaat, Shibir on the rampage again
|[Bangla Daily Star] Jamaat-e-Islami
The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka
The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an
independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...
and its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir
... the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh...
yesterday unleashed terror on police in the capital and elsewhere to mount pressure on the government to stop the war crimes trials.
Once again, their hit-and-run assaults caught the law enforcers off guard in Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Dinajpur, Joypurhat and Satkhira.
The Jamaat-Shibir mayhem left at least 70 people, including 50 cops, injured. A policeman and an auto-rickshaw driver in Chittagong suffered bullet wounds as Shibir activists opened fire.
They smashed around 200 vehicles across the country.
Neither Jamaat nor its student wing had called a programme for yesterday.
But around 10:00am yesterday, the Jamaat-Shibir men brought out myrmidon processions simultaneously in Dhaka, Chittagong and Rajshahi cities, welding firearms, sharp weapons, iron rods, hockey sticks and brick chips.
The activists from one such procession in the capital's Motijheel area started exploding bombs and beating up cops, sending a wave of panic among passengers, pedestrians and employees of roadside offices and business houses.
They gradually spread to Dainik Banglar Mor, stadium market, Paltan, Bangladesh Secretariat, Jagannath University, Dhaka University and Dhanmondi areas and rampaged for over an hour.
Traffic in Motijheel, Paltan and Gulistan and Jatiya Press Club areas remained suspended for over an hour.
Four vehicles were torched and many others vandalised.
Some cops were seen running for safety while some tried to fight back. Those who took shelter in nearby offices were hunted down by armed cadres and beaten up.
Surprisingly, law enforcers did not use newly introduced pepper sprays on the attackers.
Anwar Hossain, deputy commissioner (Motijheel) of police, said they fired more than 250 rubber bullets and 100 teargas canisters. Police also tossed in the clink
I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece!
48 activists with bottles of petrol.
Police also fired over a hundred rounds from Chinese rifles and shotguns.
Following the attacks, Finance Minister AMA Muhith said the violence had proved intelligence failure.
He added, "I thought the militancy has been wiped out, but today's incident shows that I was wrong."
He made the comments after visiting Rajarbagh Police Lines Hospital where Constable Delwar Hossain, a member of the unit that escorts the minister, was admitted. The policeman was severely injured in an attack near Bangladesh Secretariat.
Talking to journalists at the secretariat, Home Minister MK Alamgir did not with Muhith. "I do not find any failure of police or intelligence."
Surprisingly, Inspector General of Police Hassan Mahmood Khandker claimed they already had information on the Jamaat-Shibir plan for yesterday. "As police played due roles, Jamaat and Shibir could not carry out criminals activities completely as per their plan."

When I saw that Pico Iyer had written a self-examination of his long fascination with and links to Graham Greene, I knew I'd have to read it. Iyer's work evokes Greene for me sometimes—the outsider's adventures in extreme and theatrical cultures are the stuff of movie swashbuckling or gritty documentaries. But the exploits cast another kind of filter over the events that I knew as well. There is a sharp and bitter loneliness in not belonging. There are shadows, a knife-edge of introspection, a heightened awareness of what is—and what you are not. It's easy to become someone else when you travel beyond your own social boundaries but, paradoxically, it's impossible to avoid yourself.
The Man Within My Head covers territory not often encountered in travel writing. Iyer digs into his bifurcated childhood as an Indian boy in a British boarding school with regular trips home to Santa Barbara where his parents' academic lives were immersed in the culture of the 60s and 70s. Pico Iyer's boyhood public school experiences were similar to those of Greene—and his subsequent wandering around the globe duplicated patterns of Greene's journeys as well. Greene became for him a kind of surrogate father, a fictional counterpart to the real father, a distinguished Gandhi scholar, who regaled college students with his brilliant syntheses of East and West, classical and contemporary.
The book is not a linear narrative. Scenes emerge, fade, veer off, double back like hairpin-turn mountain roads—the kind with single lanes, sheer drops and white crosses marking fatalities. Trips to Ethiopia and Bolivia seem foolhardy with explicit danger. In Sri Lanka, an explosion of violence makes leaving the relative safety of a hotel room unappealing. In Cuba, the trips are research for an eventual novel, Cuba and the Night, that is very thinly fictional. Our Man in Havana places Greene in eerily similar circumstances. In fact, Greene's books ghost through Iyer's travels from Indo-China to the Caribbean. Greene's spiritual dilemmas engage Iyer in an enduring argument, even as Iyer turns his back on his world and upbringing, searching for some spare truth in his own peregrinations.
A surprise in the recounting of the life of a writer I have always sought out (Iyer, although I could claim the same thing about Greene), Pico Iyer is a good friend of Bernie Diederich. I knew Bernie and worked with him in Miami—he is the grand old dean of Latin American and Caribbean coverage and has written brilliant books on many of the region's legendary dictators—but, in all the time I knew him, I never suspected he was close to Iyer. A small world just got much smaller. Made me nostalgic for the days when any bag I carried contained a passport, a reporter's notebook, a pair of Raybans and some cash for the currency exchange.
Iyer's trek inside his own mind isn't an extended essay and it isn't a memoir—more like the puzzling of a Zen koan or a long meditation on a literary and personal influence. Graham Greene was, and remains, a strong presence for him. The Man Within My Head examines the convergence of their lives and work, pulls out pieces of Iyer's life and holds them up to the light, reveals as much about the author as it does about the real and fictional fathers who haunt him.

- nails: red or white longitudinal bands often extend to a notch at end of the nail
- mucous membranes: smooth papules inside mouth or anogenital mucosa
Associated findings:
- nervous system: neuropsychiatric abnormalities occur in some families
Age at first appearance: usually second decade, sometimes later
Long-term course: spontaneous relapses and remissions are common, but generally tends to worsen over time; heat and sun exposure are known causes of exacerbations; superficial bacterial infections are common and herpes simplex virus infections can become widespread
Diagnostic tests: skin biopsy shows characteristic changes; analysis of cellular DNA
Abnormal gene: calcium transporter gene ATP2A2
Clinicians seeking to confirm a diagnosis should visit FIRST's TeleIchthyosis site to submit a case to experts in ichthyosis.

At The Plate – The Cubs really had nothing going all night against the Sky Sox as they were blanked 5-0. The Cubs could only manage four hits in the loss, and were o-for-1 with runners in scoring position, a rather uninspiring effort. Dave Sappelt owns triple A (tiny bit of sarcasm here), he was 1-for-3 in his debut with Iowa tonight. Luis Flores, Nick Struck, and Edwin Maysonet had the other hits for the Cubs, all singles, and Struck was the starting pitcher, like I said, not a good night.
On The Mound – 2012 minor league pitcher of the year Nick Struck, is finding 2013 not as comfortable as last year. Struck worked 5.2 innings giving up five runs on eight hits while walking three and striking out six, his record fell to 0-3 with the loss. Yoanner Negrin was solid out of the pen going 1.1 scoreless innings while walking one and striking out two. Zach Putnam also had a scoreless appearance, he worked an inning and struck out one.
At The Plate – No that is not a typo, yes that was the final score, and yes they only played five innings. The official reason was wet grounds for the shortened game, but I think it might have also been a slaughter rule. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this was and will be the worst game by the Smokies all year. The Smokies couldn't push across a single run, what's worse is they only had four hits and made three errors, yikes. Ty Wright, Christian Villanueva, Rafael Lopez, and Elliot Soto were all 1-for-2 with a single in the shellacking.
On The Mound – Look away, or just avoid this part if you are squeamish. Matt Loosen got the start, and you guessed it, the loss as well, his first of the season. Loosen went 2.1 innings giving up seven runs on four hits while walking three and striking out two. A.J. Morris was beat up out of the pen, sort of, Morris went 1.1 innings giving up six runs, all unearned, on three hits while walking two and striking out one. Tony Zych wasn't much better, he worked 1.1 innings giving up three runs on four hits while walking one and striking out two. New game tomorrow, forget about this one.
At The Plate – Just an awful night all around the minor league system tonight as Daytona was crushed as well, at least they managed to score three times. Daytona could only manage six hits, and three runs in the loss, they also made two errors, seemed to be a theme for every team tonight. Javier Baez was 1-for-4 with his sixth home run of the season, an RBI, and a run scored. Jorge Soler was 1-for-4, as was Ben Carhart, Carhart scored a run as well. Taiwan Easterling was 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI's in the loss. Javier Baez and Jorge Soler each made an error in this one, Baez his twelfth, and Soler his first.
On The Mound – Just a rough night from the D-Cubs pitching, Ben Wells got the start and saw his record fall to 3-2 with the loss. Wells went five innings giving up five runs on seven hits while walking one and striking out two, what's more disturbing is that Wells gave up three home runs, he's now given up four all year. Sheldon McDonald was the lone bright spot for the D-Cubs as he worked a scoreless inning out of the pen. Starling Peralta continues to get hammered, he worked one-third of an inning giving up five runs on two hits while walking two. David Cales was also roughed up, that is a rarity for sure, he worked 1.2 innings giving up three runs, two earned, on three hits while striking out two.
Thanks for reading,
– George

We've had "Due Date" in our crosshairs for some time. With Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis in director Todd Phillips' follow-up to "The Hangover," this one looked like a lead pipe cinch. But the first trailer? Not so much.
The film has Galifianakis (sporting a perm) as an aspiring actor who is traveling to Los Angeles with Downey, who is desperate to get home for the birth of his child.
The trailer isn't bad, there are plenty of genuinely funny moments -- it just doesn't live up to the promise of the talent behind it.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The film is stacked with a great supporting cast featuring Juliette Lewis, Michelle Monaghan (if you haven't seen her and RDJ in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," rent it today), Jamie Foxx, Alan Arkin, RZA and Matt Walsh, who played the doctor in "Hangover" and gave a nice turn as Katherine Keener's fiance in the criminally overlooked "Cyrus."
"Due Date" comes out Nov. 5.

As a new Samwat year begins tomorrow on Diwali, the stock market is looking up to prosperous gains after an increase of over Rs 5 lakh crore in the overall investor wealth over the past year.
A new Hindu calendar year, Samvat 2069, will begin tomorrow on the occasion of Diwali, which is celebrated as a festival of lights and prosperity and is marked with people worshipping the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi.
Since last Diwali, the stock market benchmark has recorded a gain of about eight per cent, while the overall investor wealth, measured in terms of cumulative market value of all listed shares, has risen by over Rs five lakh crore to nearly Rs 66 lakh crore.
Out of this, the 30 Sensex companies alone have seen their market value grow by about Rs 2 lakh crore to near Rs 30.5 lakh crore currently.
Market analysts expect this Diwali to bring even better luck to the Dalal Street. The markets would conduct a muhurat trading to mark the beginning of a new Samvat.
The Samvat year 2069, which would commence from tomorrow, is expected to be positive due to festive mood and the Sensex would trade around 18,700 level.
The 30-share benchmark index currently stands at 18,683.68 points, a surge of around 1,400 points or around 8 per cent since last Diwali, when the Sensex had scaled at 17,288.83 points during its muhurat trade on October 26, 2011.
Experts are optimistic about market scaling a new peak next year on account of smart corporate earnings in the second quarter. The market benchmark Sensex is currently nearly 2,500 points away from its record high level of 21,206.77 points (in intra-day trading), scaled on January 10, 2008.
Incidentally, the Sensex had scaled its highest ever closing level of 21,004.96 points on Diwali day two years ago on November 5, 2010. This is the only time when Sensex has closed above 21,000 level as yet.
"We are expecting that Sensex would touch a new high because of good quarterly earnings," CNI Research Kishor Ostwal said.
Another analyst Destimoney Securities MD and CEO Sudip Bandhopadhyay said, "Market would continue to be volatile till the end of the calender year 2012 but still I hope that Sensex would touch 19,000 level by that time. Investors would reap benefits only in stock specific investment."
"Sensex should be around 24,000 level by next Diwali," Ostwal said.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Undergraduate students in the Penn State Smeal College of Business put theory into practice last fall, developing integrated marketing plans for Webster's Café and Bookstore located in downtown State College, Pa.
Assistant professor of marketing Karen Winterich incorporated a real-world client into the project for her Marketing 422: Advertising and Sales Promotion Management class to enhance the students' experiences. "Not only is it more motivating and valuable for students, but it also provides an opportunity for our students to give back to local businesses by sharing their skills," she said.
Early in the fall semester, Webster's Café owner Elaine Meder-Wilgus visited the class to give students background information on her business and its needs. Over the course of the semester, students did more research on their own.
"We went to Webster's a couple of times and got a feel for it," said Smeal marketing student Jenn Mahon. "Then we picked a target market: what kind of students would this appeal to?"
The semester-long project culminated with student teams presenting their ideas to Meder-Wilgus, who said she was impressed with the students' final results. The proposals incorporated design elements, promotional strategies and public relations plans, including a lot of focus on social media and making connections with student groups.
"The students really seemed to pick up on ideas revolving around community and creativity," which, Meder-Wilgus said, are some of the themes that differentiate Webster's from its competition.
According to Winterich, these kinds of real-world learning activities give students a chance to exercise their knowledge in a practical way. Working with a client willing to use the best ideas gave students extra motivation.
"In general, when students know their work is for an actual client and has the potential to be implemented, they are much more motivated to invest their energy into the project and submit their best work," Winterich said.
"I didn't really feel like I was in a class; I was actually working for a client," Mahon said.
The partnership between Winterich's Marketing 422 class and Meder-Wilgus was facilitated by Linda Feltman, senior business consultant at the Penn State Small Business Development Center (SBDC). Feltman felt that Webster's Café, an ongoing client of the SBDC, could benefit from the students' perspectives with regard to marketing.
"These ideas will help Elaine run more efficiently and become a stronger business," Feltman said. "It ended up being a win-win for everybody."

Groom Surprises Bride With Choreographed Dance to Beyonce, BSB + More [VIDEO]
It's tough enough to try to convince some men to dance at weddings, but this groom wanted to show his new bride just how lucky he is by convincing his groomsmen to join him on an epic wedding dance.
Shirin Rajaee, a reporter for ABC affiliate KEYT news, posted this video last week showing her brother, Sean Rajaee, surprising his bride with a choreographed dance he planned for his new wife. Rajaee enlisted his groomsmen and planned a series of dances set to some of his new wife's favorite songs.
Rajaee and his friends first busted a move to Beyonce's 'Crazy in Love,' followed by 'Bootylicious' by Destiny's Child. They then broke into Backstreet Boys' 'I Want it That Way' before going into a Persian song and dance. Finally, they end with Bruno Mars' romantic ballad, 'Marry You.'
We're really impressed with their planning and display of their moves. Click on the video above to watch their amazing routine!

Fear Itself
With Game One of the American League Championship Series looming and the Yankees in a position they haven't been in since 2004, the Bronx Bombers are set to square off with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Friday night.
And I have to admit, I am a little scared. But I suppose as a wise man (namely F.D.R.) once said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
The Yanks eliminated the Twins in the first round of the playoffs twice before in recent years (2003-04) and history repeated itself in 2009. The Yankees also had the Twins' number during the regular season, beating them seven times without losing.
It's safe to say the history vs. the Twins proved that the edge went to the Yankees in the ALDS. But the Yanks' history vs. the Angels for the ALCS…not so much in their favor.
In 2002, the Halos took care of the Yankees in four games in the ALDS while in 2005 they took out the Yankees in five games. Not to mention the Yankees are 44-56 vs. the Angels since 2000 and have only won four season series against the Halos since 1987.
The Angels have not been very kind to the Yankees in the past, that's for sure.
Consider this: in 2002, the Yankees took game one of the ALDS from the Angels, but after that totally disintegrated. Andy Pettitte had one of his worst postseason starts in game two, and in game three Mike Mussina was beat up and smacked around, blowing a 6-1 Yankee lead.
The Angels had all the momentum after game three, just lit up David Wells in the fifth inning of game four, and went on to knock the Yankees out of the playoffs in the first round. It was also the first time the Angels won a postseason series and they went on to win the World Series in '02, beating the San Francisco Giants.
There's no questioning the fact that the Angels just walked all over the Yankees in 2002.
In 2005, the Yankees relied heavily on old and injured players, along with a little bit of an inexperienced outfield. After trading victories in the first two games, Randy Johnson gave up five runs in the first three innings of game three.
The Yankees made their way back to a 6-5 lead, only to have it squirreled away by relievers Aaron Small and Tom Gordon. The Bombers obviously lost game three.
Game four was a thriller; the Yankees won by scoring two runs in the seventh inning with RBI singles from Derek Jeter and good, old Ruben Sierra. Then it was time for the decisive game five.
In the final game, Mussina followed the lead of the Big Unit in game three, allowing five runs in three innings. Plus, center fielder Bubba Crosby collided with right fielder Gary Sheffield, costing the Yankees big time. Bad defense hurt the Yankees in game five and they were never able to catch up.
I'll never forget the words after that series ending, 2005 ALDS game five loss; one of the announcers said something like, "The Yankees' $hundred million payroll comes up just a couple bucks short."
I hated that quote. It infuriated me.
But in all honesty, the Angels outplayed the Yankees in the '05 ALDS. They outscored them 25-20, out-hit them 46-42, and the Yankees made six defensive errors in that series. The Angels only committed one.
I hate to say it, but the Yankees had no business winning that series.
If you check your calendar though, it's 2009, not 2005. And only 11 players from those 2005 rosters remain with the Yankees and Angels.
Along with the history, there are still numbers standing in front of the Yankees. Jeter has a measly batting average against two of the Angels' four starters; against Scott Kazmir, Jeter owns a lifetime batting average of .111. Against Jered Weaver, the Yankee captain is .118.
That's not very good, especially considering Jeter is the leadoff hitter, or "table-setter" for the Yankees.
And then there's CC Sabathia, who will be making quite a few starts in this series since the Yankees have opted to go with a three-man rotation. If skipper Joe Girardi sticks with his idea of a three man rotation, Sabathia would pitch games one, four, and seven. (Game four he would be throwing on three days rest)
I think if the Yankees lose this series, everyone will jump on Girardi about the decision to go with a three-man rotation. It will be under heavy scrutiny, no matter what.
Sabathia is 0-2 with a 6.08 ERA vs. the Angels in 2009 and is 5-7 with a 4.42 ERA vs. LA lifetime. That's not a promising sign, if you ask me.
But also think about some of Sabathia's numbers against individual hitters. Gary Matthews, Jr. (one of the Angels' key players) is 5-for-26 lifetime vs. the Yankee ace with 10 strikeouts. Vladimir Guerrero, another hitter who makes the Angels go, has not hit Sabathia well. Guerrero is just 3-for-15 lifetime against the big lefty.
Sabathia is also 7-2 with a 3.17 ERA at home this year, which is good because the Yankees have home field advantage in the ALCS. If the series reaches a game seven, he would make the start at Yankee Stadium.
Game two starter A.J. Burnett is 2-2 with a 4.43 ERA in six career starts against the Angels, and the last time he faced the Halos on Sept. 23, the tall, lanky right hander went 5 2/3 innings and allowed two runs while fanning 11 batters.
There's a stat that works in the Yankees' favor.
The Angels will most likely send Joe Saunders to the mound for game two. Although Saunders has not pitched since Oct. 4 (the last day of the regular season) he went 7-0 with a 2.55 ERA in eight starts after coming back in August from a shoulder injury.
Even though the Angels have dominated the Yankees in the past, the Yanks' hitting has done some good work against the Angels in the past, too.
Although Jeter has not had much success against the Angels' expected game three starter (Weaver) Alex Rodriguez has dominated him. In his career, A-Rod is 5-for-15 with four homers off Weaver. And Girardi should keep Eric Hinske in the back of his mind, as Hinske is 4-for-11 with a homer off Weaver.
Game three will take place at Angel Stadium of Anaheim with Pettitte starting against Weaver.
Pettitte struggled this year, going 0-2 with a 7.84 ERA at Angel Stadium. Not good, especially since game three is in Anaheim. The Yankees also need to watch out for Mike Napoli, Erick Aybar, Guerrero and Matthews, who all own averages well over .300 lifetime vs. Pettitte.
On the bright side, Pettitte is 12-10 with a 4.70 ERA against the Angels in his career, six of those wins coming in Anaheim. Oh, and by the way, he is 6-1 with a 3.92 ERA in the ALCS. Pettitte is what everyone says he is: a big game pitcher in the postseason.
Kazmir is expected to start game four and is 2-1 vs. New York this year, but the only loss came after he was traded from Tampa Bay to Los Angeles. He will obviously be facing Sabathia, in accordance to the Yankees' three-man rotation.
So despite some negativity in history and numbers that work against the Yankees, there is some positive history and numbers that work for the Yankees.
This year the Angels and Yankees split the 10 games they played against each other; the Yankees won five against the Angels and vice-versa.
But I'm sure Girardi and his Yankees are not thinking about the past or the history between their team and the Angels. They are focusing on the task at hand, which is beating the Angels and then reaching (and hopefully winning) the World Series.
It's going to be tough. The Angels and Yankees were the two best teams in the American League all year, so I think it's only fitting that they meet in the ALCS. There's more margin for error in this series, it being seven games and all. But still, I hope to see the Yankees come out on top when the smoke has cleared and the dust has settled.
After all, the Angels finally stopped their playoff losing streak vs. the Red Sox, beating them in the ALDS. Maybe now it's the Yankees' turn to stop their playoff losing streak vs. the Angels in the ALCS.
"To be honest, I think they look down on us. They have had their way with us for some time and now we have something to prove to them. It's not the other way around."–Yankees' GM Brian Cashman
Looks like even the Yankee management knows what's at stake here.
Well, see you Friday for ALCS Game One (Weather permitting; Friday's forecast for the Bronx: a high of 45 degrees with an 80% chance of rain…I hope they can get this game in!)
Until then, Go Yankees!!!

So, incase you guys haven't heard, I'm joining Kendi's Winter 30 for 30. It pretty much scares the poop out of me, so I'm going to need lots of smiley faces and cupcakes to keep me going. Sorry if these aren't the utmost best pictures of all time. But you guys should know that you will be seeing MUCH more of these pieces over the next 30 days, so we will get well acquainted. Scouts honor. It's also a bit awkward to stand in your yard arranging and photographing your clothes. I'm sure the neighbors have called the funny farm on me by now. I'm working on my speech for the men in white suits as we speak. I better go fix my hair and get out of my pajamas.
Soak in the last bit of your weekend folks!
P.S. How obvious is it that my wardrobe is composed of neutrals with a few pieces of red in a desparate attempt to be more colorful?
Saturday, January 29, 2011
So, today was my last day of shopping freedom. And golly gee was it a good one. Goodwill was feeling generous today my friends. Unfortunately, it was mostly Spring (I got a Brooks Brothers dress for $6...no kidding). But I did score a little beauty that you will meet soon for my 30. Speaking of the 30, Dusty called me today when I was in F21 buying accessories because I neeeeded them. Yes. Needed. I told him I was shopping and he said, "you better buy up some good stuff, you know you've got the 30 for 30 coming up." I really love that guy.
And since we love each other and all, we decided to take each other on a picnic for dinner. We have been blessed with a fantabulous weekend weather wise! So we headed our little selves to Publix where the nice man in the seafood department cooked some shrimp for us in Cajun butter (another notch folks). And we stole some napkins and forks from the deli. And we took our goods to a local park where we sat up on a hill and watched the sun set as we downed our weight in shrimp and bread. This is five star baby!
I will be posting my 30 for 30 picks tomorrow even though I will probably forgo clothes in my study fest. Until then!

And that makes pretty much everything right in the world. Because on Fridays, you do nice things. Like spend the morning taking pictures of two twin little pink nuggets. And then editing them all afternoon. And thrift shopping, which is oh so fun. Even if you don't buy anything. Just because you know you have signed your life away to the 30 for 30 and will not be able to buy anything for 30 days. But today, you could have, because you still have three more days of shopping bliss. And the sun is just so glorious, and you can bask in it's most glorious rays as you skip from thrift store to thrift store. And tonight is enchilada night, so you plan to don your comfies and snuggle up to the tele. And snuggle with that guy you love a whole lot. And eat more than you should because you will be Zumbaing in the morning. Yeah, I just said that.
Yup, Fridays make everything just jolly.
I like Fridays.
How 'bout you?

It's a Cupcake and Hot Chocolate Kind of an Afternoon
I don't really know why. I suppose just because I can. So I did. Because as previously stated, the house is chock full of ridiculously sinful baked goods including these mini delightful cupcakes. And hot chocolate is a must when baked goods are involved. Because I said so. And we all know you do as I say. Right.

I had to quote Pretty Woman. Because I watched it this weekend. And I know every line.
It rained today. All day long. But it was Color Brigade Day with Kileen,so I had an extra uber awesome excuse to wear my rainboots. I also had to squeeze in some stripes because Everybody Everywear is wearing them! Duh! And I had to rock the Carrie bun. Because Sex and the City reruns are on E every night and thus plagues my tv every night from 8-9. And my hair has zero tolerance for humidity. 5% and my little baby hairs start screaming and standing on end. We had 100% humidity today. My hair had a hay day.
We made cupcakes tonight. Because aparently it's eat so many deserts that by Friday your butt looks like two enormous cinnamon buns are fighting to get out of your pants week. Aparently. They have cream cheese frosting.
Ok, Sex and the City is calling.
