HBT: How do you get a save in a 21-8 win?

The outcome of last night?s Mariners-Rangers game was never in doubt. After posting 16 runs between the send and third innings, it was all over put the paperwork. Yet, because a pitcher finished the game with three full innings, we get this in the box score:

Yep,?Hisashi Iwakuma gets the save. In a game in which he pitched poorly and which needed no saving whatsoever.

The save is just the worst, least-illuminating stat ever. One that has changed the way in which the game is played as opposed to merely describing what occurs. Or, in this case, is handed out for no reason whatsoever.

To blazes with it, I say. Let it hang out with the Game Winning RBI in the pile of ?obsolete metrics which tell us nothing useful about the game.?

Chuck Kuepfer, Staff Reporter

Woolwich Community Services has partnered with the local Tri-City Chapter of the Jumpstart Program, which helps provide opportunities for disadvantaged children to play organized sports and recreation.

Jumpstart, which was launched in 2005, is a national charitable program of Canadian Tire.

Through the program, children between the ages of 4-18 from low-income families are able to receive financial assistance to participate in a wide-variety of sports and recreation opportunities by covering registration, equipment and/or transportation costs.

?It could be for dance. It could be for karate,? said WCS director of community support, Kelly Christie. ?If you have kids that want to be physically active give us a call.?

Families interested in applying for the Jumpstart program can contact WCS at 519-669-5139 for a confidential income assessment to see if they qualify for the program.

Those interested in the program can also drop by the WCS office at 73 Arthur St. South in Elmira, Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

According to Statistics Canada?s low-income cut off chart, a single parent who makes less than $22,831 (after taxes) annually is eligible to register their child in the program. A family of three must make $28,430 (after taxes) or less per year. For a family of four, the cut off is $35,469 (after taxes).

To support the program, WCS is selling red balls for $2 a piece. The balls can be purchased at locations throughout Elmira, including WCS, the Woolwich Memorial Centre, WCS Thrift Shop, the Kids and I Resource Centre and Pinnacle Fitness.

Also, the proceeds from the Tri-Gator for Kids in Elmira, June 16, will be going to the Tri-City Chapter of the Jumpstart program. Volunteers are needed for the event and those interested can contact Paul Helsby at 519-841-3686 orpaul.helsby@trigator4kids.com.

60 Minutes To Honor Troops For Memorial Day 5/27/2012

60 Minutes continues its tradition of doing a Memorial Day weekend show dedicated to the men and women who serve in our armed forces. Tonight?s show has a one on one interview with Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer, combat vets returning to Iraq to face their tragedies head on, and will highlight 5 sets of brothers who are serving in Afghanistan. This Memorial Weekend show will look at the toll our two biggest ongoing wars have extracted on our brave soldiers.

Being wounded in combat is a very traumatic experience that a lot of soldiers have trouble coming to terms with. Who could blame them as most have seen things that would shake the most solid person for a lifetime. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is real and can haunt a person for many years if not dealt with. Some experts have said returning to the scene of a tragedy can help a person deal with it and move on. Is this what the segment tonight will be about? We can?t say for sure until we see the show. Facing tragedy head on has been proven to help people and if returning to Iraq will help a wounded soldier deal with his or her demons then we should do it more often. Returning will give them a chance to reconcile what happened to them and their friends. This should be a very moving segment.

The next segment will be an interview with Dakota Meyer, who is the first living recipient of the Medal of Honor the marines have had in over 48 years. Meyer made a quick decision to head into a firefight and help out other soldiers. It was aid that he is responsible for returning 4 soldiers who were killed and saving over 20 friendly personnel. He also laid down the ground fire that allowed quite a few troops to get out of a highly volatile situation. Meyer is also famous for suing BAE Systems, a defense contractor he worked for, for making false statements about him because he openly objected to the sale of arms to Pakistan. It got pretty nasty for a while but the suit was settled out of court in December of 2011.

Check back here on CMR for a full recap of 60 Minutes at 8pm eastern time tonight.

PC Software World ? Gaming Computer systems ? The Rise with the ...

The intention of this tutorial is always to give you a primary idea of what you will require to buy to generate gaming achievable on a notebook. Essentially the most essential regions I?ll address are, operating interesting, graphics cards, and CPU performance.

The dilemma that many avid gamers will now consult is, ?Are you nuts??, why pay a top quality for a cheap gaming laptop computer once you can get a deluxe desktop that is only better for the very same money? The actual fact is usually that even if laptops are a great deal less resistant, pretty much not upgradeable, plus much more high priced lots of men and women like them and carrying all around a desktop is solely not a possibility more often than not.

It is best to anticipate to pay for about two times as much for your notebook rig as to get a desktop. There are numerous low-priced laptop options however you really need to tread really cautiously.

Something to remember in all of this nevertheless is the fact that your notebook is not going to be upgradable except you?ve some considerable competencies. To the most component online video cards and CPU units are soldered into laptops. No popping a whole new video card in there once the cost drops just a little. You may need to do some severe preparing forward for getting what we want for that next couple of several years.

Why two several years? The fundamental lifetime for just a notebook is 2-3 ages, sucks but that?s the way it is. The more modern games that come out shall be have requirements that are simply just not available today or not inside of a sensible expense assortment. Moore?s legislation in this case is effective towards you.

Hardware Things to consider

You should be trying to find close to the prime conclude for each in the next, CPU, RAM, and graphics cards.

Graphics Cards

Graphics cards are fairly basically probably the most significant component of any gaming pc. If you don?t use a great card you don?t have video game. You?ll need to accomplish somewhat investigation to uncover what the best is out there for the time being while it improvements quickly. Require a look specially for Nvidia and AMD as they are the marketplace leaders.

Central Processing Device

There are actually two steps which have been vital when paying for a CPU, clock velocity along with the variety of cores. Recent state of the art bare minimum is about 2.0 GHz. Most game titles in the intervening time really don?t profit from an elevated amount of cores. I count on that that will improve as time goes on. It is a place nevertheless in which you can get a cost gain in the intervening time. Quad core CPUs value about $100 a lot more than double core and for any gaming computer system in the intervening time you most likely isn?t going to need to have the additional cores.

Memory

This is the a person space in which you have the option of upgrading later. This getting reported I propose that you simply obtain a 4GB memory adhere in your notebook. This can let you update afterwards to 8GB and strengthen the render occasions for graphics versus two 2GB memory sticks. Presently 8GB of memory is a big level of memory, it really is uncertain that you will have need for much more than this from the upcoming few of several years.

Manufacturers

The ideal overall brands for a cheap gaming laptop are Asus, Alienware, and MSI. All of them have configurations that happen to be designed for gaming as well as a lot of experience inside the area. You can locate Alienware and Asus on amazon normally for just a pretty good expense. MSI is usually a small more durable to trace down.

Conclusion

For anyone who is going to place out for just a gaming laptop computer hope to shell out twice as much for any personal computer that could last 50 percent as prolonged. If that does not cause you to blinks then you are in your technique to possessing a good portable gaming option. In case you have need to have of it for other programs like operate what?s more, it may perhaps be very easy to justify the price. Ensure even though that though you are attempting to put with each other an affordable gaming laptop you don?t shirk from having to pay for a few with the substantial conclusion parts. Game titles at this time are generating utilization of them plus the long term will only be a lot more intensive not a lot less.

If you find yourself in need of a cheap gaming laptop these are available on Amazon.com and I highly recommend them.

Culinary India, a two-day workshop in Boulder

If you've been a reader for even a little while, you know how I feel about the Indian food served by Indian restaurants that dot the US restaurant scene.?Both you and I know that the essence of Indian cooking has been lost in cream-laden curries that masquerade as Indian food.?Say it with me: There is more to Indian cooking than chicken tikka masala, saag paneer and naan.?There! I feel so much better already!

It has been, and continues to be, my passion to bring home-style Indian food to a wider audience, first by writing this blog, and subsequently, through a series of demos and workshops?? the first of which is here: Culinary India.

Culinary India, hosted by Escoffier School of Culinary Arts Boulder, is a workshop steeped in the traditions of India, using as much local produce as possible. Joining me as instructors are three of the very best chefs, instructors and food enthusiasts I know:

Suvir Saran, who made waves with a grand exit last summer on Bravo TV's Top Chef Masters, needs no introduction! His cookbooks have brought Indian cooking within reach of anyone interested in the flavors of Indian cooking, without overwhelming the cook or the palate.?His cooking embodies his lifelong passion for the traditional flavors of Indian cooking and that resonates very strongly with me. I am particularly in love with his lamb kababs and cardamom roasted cauliflower?(recipe on Cooking Boulder). Suvir has written several cookbooks, the latest of which ?Masala Farm ? is about Suvir's life as an organic farmer, punctuated by recipes that are?light on the fuss and big on the flavor, using Indian techniques and flavors that bring an exciting freshness to the table.?Suvir travels extensively to teach audiences, ranging from home cooks and fellow chefs to physicians and nutritionists. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from a witty and accomplished chef!Ammini Ramachandran?is rather well-known on this blog and for good reason! She is the author of?Grains, Greens and Grated Coconuts, that weaves history with the traditions and culture in which it is rooted. It is my favorite Indian vegetarian cookbook and it was?among the four self-published cookbooks that ranked #76 in Saveur's Tenth Annual 100 List in 2008. It's very difficult for me to pick my favorite recipes from this cookbook as everything I have cooked has been exemplary, but I am partial to her okra kichadi and tomato chutney.?A former financial analyst,?Ammini is a prolific writer and her work has been published in?The Flavors of Asia by the Culinary Institute of America, Flavor & Fortune, Storied Dishes and Cultural Encyclopedia of Vegetarianism. She is also a regular contributor to Zester Daily, an award-winning online publication produced by an international collection of experienced journalists, food writers and wine experts.?Ammini teaches Indian cooking classes at Central Market Cooking Schools in Texas and the Institute of Culinary Education, New York. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from a food historian and meticulous cook!Asha Gomez has taken the Atlanta food scene by storm, not once but twice. She?was the mastermind behind Spice Route Supper Club, an underground supper club,?where she explored the breadth of India?s culinary traditions by serving five-course meals with themes that focused on a region or an ingredient. After a successful year of home entertaining through her Supper Club, Asha opened her own Indian restaurant, Cardamom Hill in Atlanta.?Don't miss this opportunity to learn from a supper club enthusiast who is now a respected chef in Atlanta!

This interactive cooking demonstration will explore and explain eight recipes each day using as much local produce as possible. Saturday?s workshop will be entirely dedicated to vegetarian recipes while Sunday's menu will include meat and seafood. There are limited seats so be sure to sign up as soon as possible so that you don't miss out on this unique experience!

Join us!
Saturday & Sunday, June 16th - 17th
Time: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM on both days

Register for Culinary India

I made another gem from Ammini's cookbook, Grains, Greens and Grated Coconuts, last week before rushing off to the Escoffier Boulder's Spring Thyme Open House. It came together quickly and was the perfect meal for my family while I enjoyed the treats that the Escoffier chefs made for the Open House!

• 2 cups long-grain rice
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• Salt to taste
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup sesame oil
• 1 and 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
• 1 and 1/2 tbsp cleaned urad dal
• 1 and 1/2 tbsp cleaned chana dal
• 2-3 dried red cayenne, serrano, or Thai chiles, halved or sliced fine
• 1/4 cup halved cashew nuts
• 1/4 cup roasted unsalted peanuts
• 1/4 tsp asafetida
• 12-15 fresh curry leaves
• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro leaves (optional)

1. Cook the rice along with salt and turmeric, according to package directions. Transfer to a large, flat serving bowl or dish. Sprinkle with lemon juice and toss well.
2. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and add mustard seeds.
3. When the mustard seeds start popping, add urad dal and chana dal, and fry until they turn golden brown.
4. Lower the heat, and add the chile peppers, nuts, asafetida, and curry leaves. Fry until the nuts are slightly browned.
5. Remove from the stove and pour this spice mixture over the rice. Stir gently to coat the rice with the spice mix.
6. Garnish with the cilantro leaves, if using.

Notes:

• Traditionally, sesame oil is used but it may be substituted with either ghee or vegetable oil. I love the flavor of ghee in this rice!
• I made the mistake of cooking the rice without salt and turmeric powder, which is why my rice is not evenly colored.?I sprinkled turmeric powder and salt on the cooked rice, along with the lemon juice. It did not detract from the expected flavors of lemon rice.?This mistake was a revelation because now I know what to do with volumes of leftover rice!?
• I also like my lemon rice a little more lemony, so I add another tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
• Variations of this rice dish are made throughout southern India. It makes for a great brunch when served with other Southern Indian delights like rasam, thoran, and vadas.

Japan Minister Visits Fukushima Nuclear Plant

Japan?s environment and nuclear minister visited the tsunami-crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant on Saturday to inspect a spent fuel pool at the center of safety concerns and said it appeared to have been properly reinforced.

The visit by Goshi Hosono, apparently aimed at demonstrating the safety of the facility, came amid renewed concerns about conditions at the plant?s No. 4 reactor after its operator reported a bulging of the building?s wall. Nuclear regulators ordered a new investigation and seismic tests of the building and its pool.

The building was damaged by an explosion and fire soon after the Fukushima plant was hit by a massive magnitude-9.0 earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. The pool, located at the top of the building above the reactor, remains one of the plant?s biggest risks due to its vulnerability to earthquakes.

Reader Questions: Military Families when SHTF

Ryan,

I?m 64 and doing well on prepping. New home in Idaho is almost ready and will be able to sustain myself/wife, son # 1 family (3 people) and son #2 (3 people).

Son #1 lives in Seattle and is 1.5 tanks of gas away. He always has extra gas so, with any warning, he can make it to my place fine.

Son # 2 is a?CPT at Ft. Carson, Colorado and is 3+ tanks of gas away.

Having served in the Army, I know that during extreme times, Son #2 will be required to stay with his unit and he will comply. Even with some warning about a SHTF event, sending his wife and small child alone to Idaho is not realistic if the gas supply en-route could be in any way compromised. Sending me down to pick her up, needing 7 tanks of gas for the round trip is not realistic either.

Other than bugging in, or getting lucky with lots of warning so your family can drive to safety, how do military families deal with this?

I?m not sure if your readers would be interested in your answer, but feel free to publish this letter.

Ron

TOR here:

Well Ron, You bring up an interesting question. I see it breaking into 2 distinct pieces; bugging out and the military component. Addressing them separately and then touching on how one affects the other makes the most sense to me.

I am generally pretty skeptical about plans that require really long drives. Obviously closer is better but if it is a serious social/ population/ setting change you need 5 (or sometimes even 50) miles? will not cut it. I would be mildly concerned about a plan that required driving 250 miles and pretty concerned about one that required driving 500. Admittedly those numbers are somewhat arbitrary though they could be broken down to 1 and 2 tanks of gas. In any case.

It should go without saying that you should be ready to leave quickly if circumstances permit, have ample (2x what it normally takes seems prudent if arbibtary) fuel on hand and multiple routes planned.

In addition to sheer physical difference we have to do some?route analysis. I could talk about military acronym's here as they are often how I organize my thinking but I don't really feel like it. So let's just keep it simple. Population centers and choke points are bad. Wide empty roads through the middle of nowhere with lots of bypass routes are good.

For example in the case of Son #1 since I am more familiar with that area. His chances of success increase?considerably if he gets out of Seattle, which is a nightmare with all of it's bridges, exponentially when he gets?over the Cascades and are looking pretty good (if he goes that way which is likely) after crossing the Columbia river.

Son #2 obviously has a pretty long drive. Without a lot of personal knowledge of that area or doing any research I would say the drive could be better and could be worse. On the plus side the population density is pretty low but on the downside there may be some real terrain issues with choke points, particularly in winter.?

I hesitate to use the word luck but there are certainly risk factors inherant of such plans. While carrying enough 5 gallon cans to make the drive is possible it is a long way and I would at least look at setting up a cache or two along the way. Also keep PLENTY of cash on hand, who cares if gas is $50 a gallon if you can drive the whole way. Assuming sufficient fuel is? available from storage/cache/purchase, the weather is not an issue and that things are not totally crazy with every municipality setting up road blocks and gangs of roving criminals ambushing cars this sort of plan stands a fair to reasonable chance of success.

As to the military and how it relates to this whole thing. There are a couple posts in my head which address larger issues so this will be relatively narrow in scope.

Whether he would be ordered to stay on duty would depend on a lot of factors.?If he should decide to comply with these orders or to desert is another question with it's own set of factors. For the sake of this discussion let us briefly hit the high points of each options.

He stays on duty. This is the most realistic answer for most situations.?This may mean staying local or it is quite likely that he may leave to be part of some sort of military response. This means that his family can either stay in the area bugging in at home or on post or bug out without him.

He deserts. If things get totally absolutely crazy nobody is going to come looking for him any way. He comes home with the family. Then agan if things get that bad it might not be the time for a 1,500 mile family?road trip. Staying with a huge cohesive group of well armed and trained individuals might not be a terrible way to go anyway.

As a middle ground he might be able to wrangle a period of leave or a pass to run the folks up to you and then come back. If his boss likes him and the area is quiet it might work and is certainly worth asking about. Should he happen to?infer that one way or another he is driving the fam up to Idaho they may like the option where he comes back afterword.

In any case getting out of Dodge before things go nuts is seriously advisable. Waiting long enough makes a decision by default. The fam can always go up for a "vacation" if some of your warning signs start getting met. At least they would be secure and he could reassess and decide what to do for himself down the road.

As to the military's particular challenges as it relates to this discussion. We move all over the place. If I wasn't in the Army we would live in the quiet and empty part of the PNW which would make a lot of things much simpler. To further complicate things we move often which necessitates changing or reinventing plans every few years. This is just a hassle and complicates the time and expense of things. Let us say that Son #2 was a home depot manager or whatever?in Colorado for the long term or essentially permenantly. Son #2's emergency plan is to come to your place. He plans some routes and buys a couple of conveniently located but discrete pieces of junk land along the way. With some time and energy you could probably do it for a couple grand. He stashes a bunch of fuel, some fluids, water, food and ammo at them. While the long bug out problem is not fixed it is greatly simplified because you do not need to haul everything for the trip or (a long shot) buy it enroute. See where I am going? Doing that once wouldn't be a big deal but every 2-3 years?it might?get a bit crazy.

At some point, a point I think Son #2 is?approaching but not quite at, you have got to be realistic that getting home is not a plan with a reasonable, let alone good, chance of success. Getting from FT Drum, New York to Arizona is not likely. Getting from FT Lewis, Washington to South Carolina is not likely. In this sort of situation I would put time and energy into developing plans that are in ones current region. While that isn't a fun answer it is probably reality.

Anyway those are my thoughts on that. I hope it helps or at least drums up some useful conversation.

Damien Oliver: Champion Australian Jockey

Perhaps more than any other sport where one competitor depends on the performance of a teammate, horseracing makes us ask the question: who deserves most of the credit, the jockey or the horse?

Sometimes this question is easily answered as in cases where either a horse has an exceptional record regardless of who steers it, or a jockey posts exceptional results on a lot of different horses.

A prime example of the latter instance, where a jockey wins repeatedly on a variety of horses, is well represented by the record of Damien Oliver.

Damien Oliver, born 22 June 1972 near Perth, has the racing record, prize money statistics and recognition acquired over the course of a career that has featured consistent high performance for more than 20 years.

Oliver is one of the few jockeys that can claim ownership of the grand slam of Australian horse racing by winning the Melbourne Cup, Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and adding the Golden slipper stakes in 2007. In fact, he would need only one more Golden Slipper Stakes victory in order to lay claim to two career grand slams.

His record to date includes over 90 group 1 wins, almost 1000 victories and close to $94 million in prize money. At a stage in life where many hoops have chosen to hang up the boots, Oliver's 2010/11 season has already produced 54 wins, and it's not entirely inconceivable that he could equal or surpass the 115 wins he posted in 2008/09.

He has ridden and produced all over Australia, New Zealand, Britain, Ireland and Hong Kong. His skills on Australian turf feature almost 200 wins at Mooney Valley, 122 at Flemington and 129 at Caulfield. Since 2002, he has ridden five winners in one day on no fewer than six occasions and four winners in one day ten times. He has had two-win days on so many occasions that it hardly bears mention.

One measure of the jockey's reputation is represented by how he is regarded by the trainers for whom he rides. Oliver obviously fulfills this criteria by having won almost 200 races for Lee Freedman, over 60 for Mick Price, 30 for Peter Moody and 23 for Tony Mc Evoy.

Another that tips the balance in favor of the jockey as to which is the more important cog in the wheel is the number of victories obtained on any particular horse. Oliver's near 1000 wins have been distributed over a wide range of thoroughbreds. Only one, Alinghi, has accounted for ten.

Finally, awards and recognitions granted by peers and others knowledgeable in the field of horse racing bear a great deal of weight in the analysis. Oliver has been on the receiving end of no less than six Scobie Breasley medals. He was also inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame in 2008, one of fewer than 30 jockeys granted that distinction in the entire history of Australian horse racing.

Other noteworthy achievements include winning the apprentice Jockey Championship in 1988/89 with 66 wins, and taking home six Melbourne Senior Jockey Championship trophies.

No story about Damien Oliver would be complete without some mention of the adversity his career has sustained. Both his father Ray and his older brother Jason were jockeys who lost their lives to the sport.

Father Ray Oliver was killed in a fall in 1975 at Kalgoorlie when Damien was just three years old.

Brother Jason was killed at Belmont Park in 2002, dying scant days ahead of Damien's scheduled 2002 run on Media Puzzle in the Melbourne Cup, a race he went on to win, providing a drama that touched the hearts of punters worldwide.
