1908: The End of May
Continuing on with something like a detailed look at the 1908 Major League season, here's a few notes on where things stood at the end of May.
The National League
By the close of May, 1908, the National League began to settle down into those teams that were going to do well and the have-nots. Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh had winning records. Boston, Brooklyn, and St. Louis didn't. The Cubs were in first, 3.5 games ahead of New York, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia. The Pirates were a bit further back at four games.
It was Honus Wagner's year. In 1908 he would put together the greatest year by WAR of any hitter prior to the arrival of Babe Ruth in New York. By the end of May Wagner was at .311 (.840 OPS) with nine steals. He'd end the year at .354/.957 and 53 steals. He obviously got better as the season when on.
The American League
T Cobb (see, he could smile)
The junior circuit saw huge changes in May. At the end of April, Detroit, the defending AL champs, were in last place. By the end of May the Tigers had clawed their way into second place, percentage points behind New York. The Browns, Athletics, and Naps (Cleveland) were all over .500 and fifth place Cleveland was only 1.5 games out of first. The White Sox had a losing record (17-19), but were only three games back, with seventh place Washington only a half game further back. Only the Red Sox were more than five games out of the lead (they were 6.5 back).
Much of Detroit's turn around was attributed to Ty Cobb, who'd gotten his average back over .300 (.302). Of further note, Washington was holding close despite Walter Johnson not yet having pitched. His first game was 11 June.
Next month there are a couple of specifics I want to get into, but this should give you some sense of what's going on 110 years ago.

Gunther Decides He Can Pitch
Main Square Kassel, Germany
Way back in 1970 the US Army decided I could help save the world if they sent me to a little base not far from Kassel, Germany. It was a nice enough place, the duty wasn't hard, the beer was good and so was the fellowship.
There was a baseball diamond on post, but the place also had a ball team so the peons weren't supposed to use the diamond, and thus mess it up, during ball season, so we had to find another place to play. The solution was in downtown Kassel. We'd head over to the place they stored the sports equipment, draw out a set of rubberized bases, a set of catchers equipment, some bats and balls, and pile into a couple of cars the guys had (I didn't have a car) and drive down to Kassel. The town was a nice enough place with several parks. One of them was divided into two sections. One section had trees and paths and benches and small open areas where people could walk and sit and talk and kids could run and play and just do all the things that families and couples and singles do when they're out and about (that enough usage of "and" for ya?). The other side was a long open stretch of grass used for sports. There were a couple of soccer goals, one area where a basketball half-court was set up, and then a big open area where there was nothing but grass. It just called out for a makeshift baseball diamond.
We would get there early, usually on a Saturday, and throw out a diamond and start playing. Generally there were six or seven of us, so we'd just switch off guys hitting and pitching with everyone else shagging flies or scooping grounders. You've probably done this too. It was fun and of course there was no score (heck, there was no base running).
And of course we began to attract the locals. Guys would wander over to see what the "Crazy Americans" were doing. Commentary would follow in German. Most of us knew at least a little German (certainly enough to order a beer or start a conversation with a girl) and a couple of us knew it quite well, so we could tell the Germans were interested in what was going on, but couldn't figure out how it all worked. A lot would head back over to the soccer field while the rest would continue checking out what you could do if you used the hands God gave you to play sports. Eventually this led to inviting them to join us and we'd try to teach them the game. It was great for us because we suddenly had 12 or 13 or 14 guys so we could actually play something like a game instead of just bat the ball around. We'd try to divide teams so that there were roughly an equal number of Americans and Germans on a team. It more or less worked. Eventually most of the German guys could catch some (we'd trade around gloves), could throw it in the right direction, could even swing the bat and make some contact. What they couldn't do, was pitch.
One of the biggest loudmouths among the Germans was Gunther (he made sure we pronounced it Goon-tur, not Gun-thur). He was in his early 20s, a student at the local university, tall, lanky, and absolutely sure he'd figured out the game. He wasn't bad, but Joe DiMaggio was in no danger of losing his place in the pantheon of American sport. But Gunther decided he wanted to be Bob Gibson. So one day the Germans essentially announced they weren't going to play if Gunther didn't get to pitch (always wondered what he'd bribed them with).
It turned out that I hit second that day, so one of the other guys got first taste of Gunther on the mound ("Gunther on the Mound." You could make a flick about something with that title, couldn't you?). He tried to mimic a windup, he tried to throw it hard, he tried to get it near the plate. Well, he got the first one pretty close, the second one he achieved, the third one became "God knows" baseball (God knows where the ball is going). He was wild, he was awful. We tried to convince him that no matter how hard you threw it, if it didn't get anywhere near the plate it was still ball one, ball two, ball three, ball four, take your base. We didn't have an umpire to actually call that, but after a handful of pitches we decided that it was a walk and the guy should go find the appropriate rubberized base.
That brought me up. The first pitch was high, but close to the plate. The second one actually bounced over the plate (we had to explain it still wasn't a strike). Gunter was getting closer. The third pitch finally found a part of the plate and I hit the thing. It went right up the middle toward Gunther who had no chance of either catching it or ducking. Caught him right in the breadbasket. I ended up on first, the other guy hoofed it all the way to third while everyone just kind of stood there watching to see what would happen. Gunther went down in a heap, the ball rolled away, and we stopped play.
Gunther was alright, sore, but alright. We suggested he ought to maybe take an outfield spot until he felt better and let one of the other guys (an American) pitch. He agreed.
We finished the game, gathered up the equipment, stowed it in one of the cars, then wandered over to a local biergarten (beer garden), drank a few, had a few laughs, many at Gunther's expense (he took it well), and headed back to our normal lives. The next Saturday we showed up again, laid out the field, had the Germans come over, and started a new game. Gunther was there as usual. He volunteered to play center field.

1933, the obscure World Series: Mel
Game 5, 7 October 1933
Mel Ott
Game five of the 1933 World Series was the final game in Washington, DC. With the Giants leading three games to one, the Senators had to win in order to keep the Series going. They sent game two starter, and loser, Alvin "General" Crowder to the mound. New York responded with their own game two starter, and winner, Hal Schumacher.
And for six innings it didn't appear that Washington had any chance of sending the Series back to the Polo Grounds. In the top of the second a Travis Jackson single, a walk to Gus Mancuso, and another bunt sacrifice put runners on second and third with one out. That brought up pitcher Schumacher who promptly singled to plate both runs. In the top of the sixth the Giants tacked on another run with a Kiddo Davis double, a Jackson bunt sacrifice, and a Mancuso double to make the score 3-0 with 12 outs to go.
Schumacher got two of them before Heinie Manush singled. He was followed by a Joe Cronin single that sent Manush to third. Up came Fred Schulte who parked a three run home run into the left field stands to tie the game and give Washington hope. Two more singles put runners on and sent Schumacher to the showers. In came Dolf Luque. At 42, Luque was the oldest Giant by four years and the oldest Giant pitcher by seven years. Only Sam Rice of the Senators was older (43) on either team and Rice was, by 1933, a substitute. The old man responded to the pressure by inducing a grounder to end the threat.
For the rest of the regulation game the teams matched zeroes. There were a handful of hits and a walk, but no one got beyond first base. In the tenth the Giants took two quick outs. That brought up Mel Ott. Into the 1960s, Ott was the all time leader in home runs among National League players (and third all time behind Babe Ruth and Jimmie Foxx). So he did what he did so well. He parked a ball in the center field seats to put New York ahead 4-3. A grounder back to the pitcher ended the inning and brought up the Senators for one last shot at sending the World Series back to Giants territory.
Luque got two quick outs, then gave up a single and walked Joe Cronin to put two men on with two outs. Up stepped Joe Kuhel. Luque struck him out to end the game and the Series. In relief, Dolf Luque, the first Cuban player to win a World Series game pitching struck out five, walked two, and gave up only two hits in 4.1 innings of relief. Unfortunately his effort was largely lost behind Ott's game winning homer.
For a five game Series, it had been a good playoff. Two games, the last two, went into extra innings. A third game was 4-2. In an era known for its power hitting, the key blows in the final game were home runs: one by Schulte, the other by Ott. But there were an extraordinary number of runs scored that involved the Deadball Era standard of the bunt sacrifice.
The Giants hitting was fine, finishing with a .267 average 16 runs, three homers, and 47 hits, but the New York pitching had dominated the Series. The team ERA was 1.53 with only 11 runs allowed, and only eight of those earned. They staff struck out 25 with Carl Hubbell going 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA and Luque matching the 0.00 in the biggest relief outing of the Series.
For the Senators, Earl Whitehill won their only game by giving the Series its only complete game shutout. But Lefty Stewart and Crowder both had ERA's north of seven, and the staff as a group had given up 10 more hits than the Giants staff. The team hit only .214 with Schulte's four RBIs leading the team (three on the game five home run).
For the Giants it was the beginning of a decent run in the 1930s. They'd get back to two more World Series' in the decade (losing both to the Yankees). For the Senators it was the end of their playoffs. The next time Washington made the World Series was 1965. By then they were relocated to Minnesota and called the Twins.

1933, the obscure World Series: on to DC
With the New York Giants ahead two games to none, the World Series shifted locations to Washington, DC.
Game 3, 5 October
Earl Whitehill
For game three, the Senators sent ace Earl Whitehill to the mound against the Giants three pitcher Fred Fitzsimmons. For Washington it was a great choice as Whitehill pitched, arguably, the best game of the entire Series.
The Senators hit Fitzsimmons early. A single, a double, and a pop-up brought up Washington player-manager Joe Cronin with one out in the bottom of the first. His grounder back to the pitcher exchanged an out for the first Washington run. A Fred Schulte double plated a second run to make it 2-0. Washington then tacked on runs in the second and seventh with a pair of doubles (the second inning run) and two singles sandwiched around a stolen base (the seventh inning run).
The initial run in the first was all Whitehill needed. The threw the Series' only complete game shutout. In nine innings he allowed five hits, walked two, and struck out a pair. Four of the hits were singles (Travis Jackson had a double). Only in the eighth inning did a Giants player reach third, and that with two outs.
So now the Senators were down two games to one. Game four was the next day.
Bill Terry
Game four saw game one starter Carl Hubbell back on the mound for the Giants. Washington countered with Monte Weaver. Both men pitched well, although Hubbell wasn't quite up to his game one standard.
For three innings the teams matched zeroes. In the top of the fourth player-manager Bill Terry slugged a home run to center field to put New York ahead 1-0. although Hubbell gave up his first hit in the bottom of the fourth, a single to Goose Goslin, the Senators were unable to take advantage of it. They did take advantage of a Hubbell error, a bunt sacrifice and a Luke Sewell single to score Joe Kuhel in the seventh to tie up the game.
And then it stayed tied. Both teams put men on base and both pitchers got out of it through the eighth, the ninth, the tenth. In the top of the 11th, a Travis Jackson single, a bunt sacrifice, and a Blondy Ryan single gave the Giants a second run.
Hubbell needed three outs to put the Giants ahead three games to one. Two singles and another bunt sacrifice put Senators on second and third with one out. An intentional walk loaded the bases for pinch hitter Cliff Bolton. He rapped one to short and a short-second-first double play ended the game with New York winning 2-1 in extra innings.
Weaver went into the 11th inning before being pulled. He gave up 11 hits, but only two runs, while walking four and striking out three. Hubbell completed the game for his second Series victory. He'd given up only one unearned run (although the error was his), with eight hits four walks, and five strikeouts.
Game five was the next day and became known over the years as a classic.

1933, the obscure World Series: the Polo Grounds
The 1933 World Series began with two games in New York.
Carl Hubbell
For the first game, the Giants sent ace Carl Hubbell to the mound to face Washington southpaw Lefty Stewart. It quickly became the Hubbell show. In the first inning, New York jumped on Stewart for two runs. Leadoff hitter Jo-Jo Moore reached on an error by second baseman Buddy Myer and two outs later Mel Ott drove a pitch into the right field stands. Two innings later consecutive singles by Hughie Critz, Bill Terry, and Ott scored Critz with the third run and sent Stewart to the showers. One out later Travis Jackson's little roller to first brought home the fourth run.
Hubbell allowed one hit through the first three innings. In the top of the fourth, Myer singled, reached third on a groundout and an error and scored on a Joe Cronin force play. That made the score 4-1 and the pitchers took over.
The 4-1 score held up until the top of the ninth when a New York error and bunched singles put a runner on third. A Joe Kuhel single added a second Washington run, but Hubbell then struck out Ossie Bluege for the second out and got a grounder to third that finished both the inning and the game.
It wasn't a particularly well-played game. There were five errors (three by the Senators), but Hubbell had been terrific. He gave up two unearned runs, walked two, allowed five hits (all singles), and struck out 10 to give the Giants a 1-0 Series lead.
Game 2, October 4
Lefty O'Doul with the Giants
In game 2, Hal Schumacher took the mound for New York with Alvin "General" Crowder facing him for Washington. Both men pitched well through five innings. Schumacher had one small blip in the third when he grooved a pitch that Goose Goslin drove over the right field wall for a home run. It was the only run either team scored into the bottom of the sixth.
That was the crucial half inning for the game. A single, a force at second, and a double put runners on second and third with one out. an intentional walk loaded the bases for pinch hitter Lefty O'Doul. It was his first, and ultimately only, at bat in post season play. He used it well, smashing a single that scored two runs and put the Giants ahead. Two more singles scored two more runs, then a strikeout provided the second out. But two men were still on base, and two more singles, one by pitcher Schumacher, brought home two more runs and made the score 6-1.
It stayed that way for the rest of the game as Schumacher allowed two more hits, one erased on a double play to give the Giants a 2-0 lead in the Series. He'd thrown a complete game allowing five hits and walking four, but giving up only the homer to Goslin. Apparently some of the nervousness wore off from game one as there were no errors by either team in game two (as opposed to five in game one).
Game three was the next day in Washington. The Senators would need to win at least two to bring the Series back to New York.

1933, the obscure World Series: The Senators
Sam Rice
In 1933, the Giants drew the Washington Senators in the World Series. In the mid-1920s (1924 and 1925) the Senators were a formidable team winning a championship with Walter Johnson on the mound. By 1933 Johnson was gone as was most of the pennant winning team (a few remained).
The Senators offense was first in the American League in hits, triples, and batting average; third in runs, walks, and total bases; and fourth in doubles, home runs, and stolen bases. The team contained a nice mix of younger players (Cecil Travis was 19) and veterans (Sam Rice was 43) who tended to bunch in the stats. Six of the eight everyday players hit above .295 and the other two were in the .260s. A couple of bench players hit above .300 and a total of five were above .260. Only two men had double figure home runs (11 and 10) and except for one position (third base) every starter had between 29 and 45 doubles. Every primary starter managed to have more walks than strikeouts.
The infield from first around to third consisted of Joe Kuhel, Buddy Myer, Joe Cronin, and Ossie Bluege. Cronin, who would make the Hall of Fame, was also the manager, making the 1933 World Series odd by having two player-managers (Bill Terry). Cronin hit .309, led the team with both 118 RBIs and 87 walks. He was a solid shortstop and gave his team 7.2 WAR. All that got him second in the MVP voting. Myer, Cronin's keystone crony, had 4.4 WAR, good for second on the team among position players. First baseman Joe Kuhel led the team with both 17 stolen bases and 11 home runs, had 107 RBIs (good for second on the team), and also led in OPS (.851) and was second on the Senators with 281 total bases. Ossie Bluege (his Baseball Reference page says it's pronounced Blue-Jee—-I'll take their word for it) was, at 32, the senior citizen of the infield. He'd been around for the 1920s pennant run and was still productive. He hit .261 with six home runs, good for third in Washington. The backups included Cecil Travis who hit .302 in 43 games and Bob Boken who hit .278.
The outfield consisted of two Hall of Famers and Fred Schulte. Schulte hit .295 with 87 RBIs and was second on the team with 10 stolen bases.. The Hall of Famers were Goose Goslin and Heinie Manush. Manush, one of the more obscure Hall of Fame members, led the team with a .336 average, 115 runs scored, and had 4.1 WAR. The other outfielder was Goose Goslin. By the time the 1933 Series ended, Goslin would become the only man to play in all 19 Washington Senators World Series games (Bluege missed two in 1925 and Sam Rice was a part-time player by 1933). For the season his triple slash line read .297/.348/.452/.800 with 10 home runs, 10 triples (try that on purpose), 35 doubles, a 112 OPs+, and 3.2 WAR. Dave Harris and Sam Rice did most of the substitute work in the outfield. Harris had five home runs and hit .260. Rice, who logged 39 games in the outfield at age 43, hit .294, had -0.5 WAR, and would play one more season before retiring with 2987 hits.
Luke Sewell, brother of Yankees third baseman Joe, did the bulk of the catching. He hit .264 with no power and is today probably best known, if he's known at all, as the manager of the 1944 St. Louis Browns, the only Browns team to win a pennant. Moe Berg, who is also better known for something other than catching (he was a "spy" during the pre-World War II period) hit .185 as the primary backup.
They caught a staff that didn't have a Walter Johnson anywhere on the roster. General (Alvin) Crowder and Monte Weaver were the primary right handers on a staff that was second in the American League in ERA and runs. The primary lefties were Earl Whitehill and Walter "Lefty" Stewart. All had ERA's in the three's and both Crowder and Whitehill gave up more hits than they had innings pitched. Whitehill and Weaver both walked more men than they struck out. Stewart's 1.244 WHIP was best on the team and Whitehill's 4.9 WAR led all pitchers. The primary man out of the bullpen was Jack Russell (as far as I know he didn't have a terrier). His ERA was 2.69 and led the AL with 13 saves. It gave him a 3.5 WAR.
The Senators could hit with the Giants. The question was simply could their pitching keep up with the likes of Carl Hubbell and company. The World Series began 3 October.

1933, the obscure World Series: The Giants
Several years ago I ran a little informal poll on a sports website. I asked people to name the teams, winner first, in the 1933 World Series. They had to promise not to look it up first. Out of about 30 responses, 2 got it right (and 1 admitted to looking it up). It's a terribly obscure World Series, falling between Babe Ruth's last series in 1932 and the Gas House Gang Cardinals of 1934. It needs to be resurrected. You've probably figured by now that I'm about to do just that. First, the National League champs. And for what it's worth, the most common answers to my poll were the Yankees and the Cardinals. Not bad choices for the era.
In 1932 John McGraw laid down the reins of the New York Giants. They hadn't won since 1923, McGraw was old, he was tired, he was done. The next year the "new" Giants won the National League pennant by five games. They were fourth in runs scored, fourth in hits, led the NL in home runs, were fifth in average, and last in doubles. What all that should tell you is that they pitched really well. They were first in ERA, shutouts, runs, hits, second in strikeouts, and otherwise simply dominated on the mound.
The infield consisted of player-manager Bill Terry at first and three guys who are fairly obscure. Terry hit .322, had an OPS+ of 128. The .322 led the team and the OPS+ was second. He managed 3.8 WAR. Hughie Critz played second, hit .246 but produced 3.5 WAR. His middle infield mate was Blondy Ryan whose average was even lower and whose WAR was all of 1.9 (still good for 10th on the team). Johnny Vergez was the third baseman. He hit .271 and was second on the team in both homers and RBIs with 16 home runs and 72 RBIs. His WAR was 3.5. By the time the World Series began, Vergez was laid up with acute appendicitis and couldn't play. His replacement was Hall of Famer Travis Jackson, who by this point in his career was splitting time between shortstop and third. He hit all of .246 with no power and 0.2 WAR. Sam Leslie and Bernie James were the other infield backups. Leslie hit .321 while James hit in the .240s.
The outfield was considerably better. George "Kiddo" Davis played center, hit .258, led the team with 10 stolen bases, made only three errors all season, and got 1.0 WAR. "Jo-Jo" Moore (his name was Joe) flanked him in left. He hit .292, second (to Terry) among starters, had 1.1 WAR, and like Davis, had only three errors. Flanking Davis to the right was Hall of Famer Mel Ott. He hit .283, led the team with 23 home runs and 103 RBIs, and led the entire NL with 75 walks. His WAR of 5.5 led the team's position players. During the season, the Giants made a trade that brought the team a major piece of their pennant run, Lefty O'Doul. He hit .306, had nine home runs, 35 RBIs, 146 OPS+, and 2.1 WAR in 78 games, 63 of them in the field.
Gus Mancuso and Paul Richards did almost all the catching. Mancuso was behind the plate for 142 games hitting .264 with six home runs and 1.9 WAR. Richards got into 36 games as part of the battery and hit a buck-95. He (and sometime third baseman Chuck Dressen) would later become famous as managers.
The heart of the team was the staff, specifically three men: Carl Hubbell, Hal Schumacher, and Fred Fitzsimmons. "King Carl" was at his best in 1933. He went 23-12, had an ERA of 1.66 (ERA+ of 193), struck out 156, had 10 shutouts (the ERA and shutouts both led the NL), and produced a team leading 9.1 WAR to go along with a 0.982 WHIP. All that got him the 1933 NL MVP Award. "Prince Hal" wasn't as good, but he was close. His ERA was 2.16 (ERA+149) with 96 strikeouts, and 5.4 WAR. "Fat Freddie" went 16-11 with a 2.90 ERA (111 ERA+), and more walks than strikeouts. Roy Parmelee is largely forgotten today, but he was second on the team with 132 strikeouts and had, at 3.17 the only ERA over three among the starters. Hi Bell and 42-year-old Dolf Luque were the main men out of the bullpen.
If you look it over closely, you can still see the influence of McGraw. The team was pitching heavy, relied on solid defense, and didn't worry overly much about the long ball.

1908: The End of April
Orval Overall
In my continuing look at the 1908 season (110 years ago), here's a quick summary of how things stood going into the month of May. By the end of April of the 1908 season, every team had at least 11 games in the bank (with a couple at 15). There were a handful of surprises.
In the American League, 1907 pennant winner Detroit stood at 3-9, the worst record in either league. Ed Summers had two of the team wins with Ed Killian logging the other. Both Ty Cobb and infielder Germany Schaefer were hitting well, but Sam Crawford was at .239 and leadoff man Matty McIntyre was at 1.82. Two of their three wins were extra inning affairs (both went 10 innings). They were dead last in runs scored (48-tied with Washington) and their staff had given up more runs than any team in either league (76). By contrast, the Highlanders (now the Yankees) were in first place with an 8-5 record, followed closely by the Browns at 9-6.
The National League was following form more closely than the AL. Defending champ Chicago was in first, followed closely by Pittsburgh and the New York Giants. As expected, the Cardinals were in last place 3-10 having scored just 29 runs. Orval Overall led the Cubs with three wins (at this point Three-Finger Brown had yet to rack up a win). Chick Fraser had also posted three wins. Fraser would end the season 11-9 while Overall settled for 15-11. Brown did have a save in game one. He would lead the NL with five in 1908 and end up 29-9. Harry Steinfeldt was hitting .310 and Frank Chance was only at .206 (and Joe Tinker was hitting .143 and Johnny Evers .242).
This was to be Honus Wagner's greatest year, leading the league in almost every major category (and a few not so major categories also). By the end of April, 1908 he was hitting all of .233. He would get better.
So that's how it stood at the end of April in 1908. The biggest surprise had to be the Tigers in last place, with the Highlanders leading the AL a close second.

Q: How can I use one image in two bundle (scss) files with webpack and file-loader? The last one of them returns undefined I have an issue with webpack (in combination with sass-loader and file-loader). I refer to an image in two different bundle (scss) files, where I point the background-image url to exactly the same path.
The bundle file that I import first is show properly, but the second files returns an 'undefined' url for the background-property.
Has anybody encountered this issue before?
I have tried various options for file-loader, but none worked so far.
The only option that does work for me is duplicating the image and refer to the duplicate (like referring to two different files).
This is far from best practise, because I load two images now, which are exactly the same.
My webpack.config.js looks like this:
const autoprefixer = require('autoprefixer');
var path = require('path');

A: I had this issue too.
The problem comes from extract-loader (in combination with css-loader) which you are also using.
You could go back a version prior v2.
E.g.: "css-loader": "^1.0.0"

TVA to pay workers $133 million total in 'winning performance' bonuses for exceeding 2019 goals
November 15, 2019 | by Dave Flessner | Copyright © 2022
The TVA building and Market Street are seen from the Republic Centre building in Chattanooga.
Nearly 10,000 TVA employees will soon have an extra reason to be thankful when the federal utility distributes $133 million in "winning performance" payments to workers just ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday in recognition of the utility's record profits and other achievements in the past year.
For the median-income employee at TVA who was paid $134,749 in compensation in fiscal 2019, the yearly performance bonus will equal $6,840. But the amount of the special checks going to TVA workers during the week of Thanksgiving will vary widely from 5% of annual pay for a majority of TVA employees up to 150% of the annual salary for TVA CEO Jeff Lyash.
TVA met or surpassed most of its performance targets in fiscal 2019, earning a record $1.4 billion in net income, cutting TVA's debt to the lowest level in 30 years and providing lower electric charges for many local power companies this fall for the first time in six years.
"So 2019 was a great year for TVA and we look forward to building on those positive results in 2020 and beyond," Lyash told investors during an earnings call today.
Lyash, TVA's new CEO, is the biggest beneficiary of the strong performance with bonus payments swelling his total compensation to a record high of more than $8.1 million, making Lyash America's highest paid federal employee.
TVA SUCCESSES IN 2019
* Cut carbon emissions to 60% below TVA's 2005 emissions and is on pact to reduce such carbon dioxide emissions by 70% from the 2005 levels by 2030.
* Managed the Tennessee River amid heavy rains to prevent $12 billion in flood damage.
* Helped add or retain more than 66,000 jobs from nearly $9 billion in capital investment by TVA's economic development program, earning TVA listing among the "Top 10 Utilities" for economic development by Site Selection magazine for the 14th consecutive year.
* Completed the extended power uprate at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant to add 465 megawatts of additional carbon-free energy from the three reactors at the Alabama plant.
* Delivered power to its customers with at least 99.999% reliability for the 20th consecutive year.
But nearly all of TVA's workers will share in the winning performance payments, which are designed to encourage and reward employee activities that enhance TVA's objectives. TVA's winning performance payments this year will be less than a year ago, when the utility paid a total of $144.5 million, or $7,230 for the median-paid TVA employee.
Sue Collins, TVA's senior vice president and chief human resources officer, said TVA achieved 130% of its targets in 2018 and 116% of its objectives in 2019.
"When we achieve our stretch goals in a year, those often become our basic target goals for the next year as we continue to raise the bar higher for performance," Collins said. "In our pay-for-performance environment, we want to work each year on continuous improvement. That is working as you can see from our results."
TVA employs the consulting firm of Willis Towers Watson Energy Services to survey 37 other electric utilities for employee compensation levels.
Under its congressional authorizing legislation, the TVA board is directed to pay competitive wages and salaries to its workers and executives. TVA officials said its compensation levels help ensure the agency attracts qualified and skilled personnel to run America's biggest government-owned utility, which serves nearly 10 million people in seven Southeastern states.
"We compete in the market," Collins said. "We're not overpaying in the market, but we need to be competitive for the talent that delivers this type of results."

Citing 'brutal attacks,' US says Russia committed war crimes
Robert Sherman, Char'Nese Turner, Cassie Buchman
Posted: Mar 23, 2022 / 05:52 AM CDT | Updated: Mar 23, 2022 / 09:32 PM CDT
KYIV, Ukraine (NewsNation) — Russian forces continued to seize key parts of Ukraine Wednesday, prompting the U.S. to officially allege war crimes by Russia.
"Our assessment is based on a careful review of available information from public and intelligence sources," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement. "As with any alleged crime, a court of law with jurisdiction over the crime is ultimately responsible for determining criminal guilt in specific cases."
"Every day that Russia's forces continue their brutal attacks, the number of innocent civilians killed and wounded, including women and children, climbs," he continued, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin has unleashed "unrelenting violence that has caused death and destruction across Ukraine."
Ukrainian leaders accused Russia of seizing 15 rescue workers and drivers from a humanitarian convoy trying to get needed food and other supplies into the hard-hit city of Mariupol. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russian forces of blocking the aid convoy despite agreeing to the route ahead of time.
"We are trying to organize stable humanitarian corridors for Mariupol residents, but almost all of our attempts, unfortunately, are foiled by the Russian occupiers, by shelling or deliberate terror," Zelenskyy said.

He said Mariupol is being "reduced to ashes" as an estimated 100,000 civilians remain in the city. Before the war, 430,000 people lived in Mariupol.
Wednesday night, Zelenskyy noted the passing of a full month since the invasion began with a video address.
"We all must stop Russia," the caption to the address said. "The world must stop the war. I thank everyone who acts in support of Ukraine. In support of freedom. But the war continues. The acts of terror against peaceful people go on. One month already! That long! It breaks my heart, hearts of all Ukrainians and every free person on the planet. That's why I ask you to stand against the war!"
On Wednesday, the Ukrainian National Guard's Special Forces Unit released a drone video showing the widespread destruction of Mariupol, with smoke rising from some buildings in the burned-out city. Soot and ash cover the ground and buildings stretching to the Sea of Azov.
American intelligence says Russian ships in the sea of Azov are now joining in the bombardment of the city. The official said there were about seven Russian ships in that area, including a minesweeper and a couple of landing vessels.
Addressing Japan's Parliament on Wednesday, Zelenskyy said four weeks of war have killed thousands of people and 121 of Ukraine's children.
"Our people cannot even adequately bury their murdered relatives, friends and neighbors, they have to be buried right in the yards of destroyed buildings, next to the roads," he said.

In the meantime, President Joe Biden is headed to Europe for an emergency NATO summit Thursday on Russia's invasion and increasingly hostile stance toward the West, where NATO members and other European allies are strengthening their defenses.
Biden is traveling to Brussels and Poland, which has received more than 2 million Ukrainian refugees since the Feb. 24 invasion.
He is expected to seek continued unity among Western allies and to announce more sanctions on Russia. One of the options Biden is considering, according to a U.S. official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, is to target hundreds of members of Russia's lower house of Parliament.
On the eve of their summit meeting with Biden, European Union nations signed off on another 500 million euros ($550 million) in military aid for Ukraine.
Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Union's executive arm, said she will discuss with Biden the possibility of securing extra deliveries of liquefied natural gas from the U.S. for the 27-nation bloc.
In the U.S. on Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was set to meet with lawmakers to discuss a possible freeze on Russian reserves of gold.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told CNN that Putin has yet to achieve all he wants in Ukraine. He insisted that the military operation was going "strictly in accordance with the plans and purposes that were established beforehand."
Putin's aims remain to "get rid of the military potential of Ukraine" and to "ensure that Ukraine changes from an anti-Russian center to a neutral country," Peskov said.
In Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, continued shelling and gunfire shook the city early Wednesday, with plumes of black smoke rising from the western outskirts.
Russian news outlet The Insider announced Oksana Baulina, a Russian journalist, was killed while documenting the damage done by the shelling in Kyiv. A civilian also died, and so were two people accompanying Baulina.

Russian forces also bombed and destroyed a bridge in the encircled northern city of Chernihiv that crossed the Desna River and connected the city to Kyiv, regional governor Viacheslav Chaus said Wednesday. Deliveries of humanitarian aid and evacuations of civilians went through that bridge. Local authorities have warned of a humanitarian disaster in the city, with no water or electricity.
Still, Ukrainians are continuing to fight.
"We have seen indications that the Ukrainians are going a bit more on the offensive now," Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said. He said that was particularly true in southern Ukraine, including near Kherson, where "they have tried to regain territory."
Here's what happened to the viral truck caught in Texas tornado
The U.S. estimates Russia has lost a bit more than 10% of the overall combat capability it had at the start of the fight, including troops, tanks and other materiel. Western officials say Russian forces are facing serious shortages of food, fuel and cold weather gear, leaving some soldiers suffering from frostbite.
The invasion has driven more than 10 million people from their homes, almost a quarter of Ukraine's population, according to the United Nations.
NATO estimated Wednesday that 7,000 to 15,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in a month of fighting in Ukraine, with anywhere from 30,000 t 40,000 battlefield casualties in total. A senior NATO military official said the estimate was based on information from Ukrainian officials, what Russia has released, and intelligence gathered from open sources.
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by NATO.
Talks to end the fighting have continued by video. Zelenskyy said negotiations with Russia are going "step by step, but they are going forward."
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he saw progress "coming into view on several key issues," and that the gains are enough to end hostilities now. He gave no details.
However, he said that there were no signs Moscow was ready to compromise.
But not all Ukrainians agree with the plan to negotiate. Ukrainian Parliament member Kira Rudik talked to "The Donlon Report" on Wednesday and said talks with Russia should be off the table altogether.
"I do not believe we can cut a deal with Putin because he's known for not keeping his word and Russia is known for not honoring any kind of deals," Rudik said. "I don't believe we should agree on anything with them. I don't think anything can end this."
Mariupol is a crucial port for Ukraine and lies along a stretch of territory between Russia and Crimea. The siege has cut the city off from the sea and allowed Russia to establish a land corridor to Crimea.
In their last update March 15, Mariupol officials said at least 2,300 people had died in the siege. Accounts from the city suggest the true toll is much higher, with bodies lying uncollected. Airstrikes over the past week destroyed a theater and an art school where many civilians were taking shelter.

This is today's anchor briefing.
"쓰려면 그 열 배를 읽는다. 그게 글쓰기 윤리다." 며칠 전 세상을 떠난 비평가 김윤식 선생에게도 글쓰기는 쉬운 작업이 아니었던 모양입니다. 5년 전 당시, 여든을 바라보는 나이에도 그는 쓰기 위해 수없이 읽는다고 했습니다. 특히나 젊은 작가들의 작품을 평가하기 위해서는 작품당 최소한 세 번 이상씩 읽고 나서야 펜을 들었다는 당대를 대표하는 문학비평가.
"In order to write once, I read ten times. It is my ethics to write." These were the words of renowned literature critic Kim Yoon-sik, who passed away a couple of days ago. From his words, we can detect that writing is not easy work. Five years ago, at the age of 79, Kim told us that despite his old age, he constantly reads so he can write. He even disclosed that in order to write a review for a recently published novel by a young writer, he reads it at least three times before even attempting to write a single word.
"우리에게는 우리의 필연이 그들에게는 그들의 필연이 있소. 뒷방 늙은이가 관여하고 가르치는 건 염치없는 일. 나는 다만 내 일을 할 뿐이요"
가르치려 들지 않았던 그의 가르침은 낮은 울림이 되어 각인되었습니다. 그의 말처럼. 열 배를 투자해 하나라도 얻게 된다면 차라리 그것은 요행한 일이라고나 할까. 조바심의 속도와 변화의 속도는 같을 수가 없어서 사람들은 끝내 체념하기도 하지요.
His wise words of wisdom, which were not meant to educate others, still leave a deep impression on us all. Like his words imply, we are lucky to even earn one thing after investing a tremendous amount in our endeavors. We often worry about why things aren't changing faster. This is why we almost always give up on change itself.
불쑥 내려간 바깥 기온과, 달력으로 기억되는 오늘은 2년 전, 모두의 움직임이 시작된 바로 그날입니다. 우리 정말 대단하지 않습니까? 세상을 바꿔낸 시민들의 말처럼. 작은 촛불이 가져온 변화는 실로 거대했지만, 촛불 이후 2년, 세상은 얼마만큼 앞으로 나아간 것일까. 스스로 대단했던 우리는 여전히 견고한 격차와 편견과 갈등 앞에서 똑같은 일상에 치어가고 있는 것은 아닐까.
Today is the two-year anniversary of when everything started to change. "Have we not accomplished something incredible?" Like the words from the citizens who were present and responsible for it, the change that one small flickering candle brought was indeed incredible. However, two years have passed since then, and we are left asking ourselves: How much has society changed? Are we not still surrounded by the same differences and prejudices that experience in our everyday lives?
However… "In order to write once, I read ten times. It is my ethics to write." The old scholar who could have easily written one book with his eyes closed is telling us that nothing is easily obtainable. Even if something exists, it will never be sturdy enough to last. Like having to read ten times in order to write once, we need to put in ten times the effort in order to take one step forward.

Thus, limitations of exercise ECGs in identifying patients with severe coronary artery disease has prompted research into newer and more sensitive criteria such as the ST/heart rate ratio and evaluation of the systolic blood pressure response during the recovery period.
Recently, the systolic blood pressure recovery ratio (SBP-RR), the ratio of the postexercise systolic blood pressure to peak exercise systolic blood pressure, has been shown to be of diagnostic value in patients with coronary artery disease. We have observed that a SBP-RR which is >1.0, 0.9, or 0.8 at respectively 1, 2, or 3 minutes in the recovery period and further increases from either minutes 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 of the recovery period (f SBP-RR) is highly predictive and more sensitive than diagnostic ST segment depression or angina in the diagnosis of multivessel coronary artery disease. In this case report, we describe the usefulness of an f SBP-RR in the identification of a patient with angiographically proven three-vessel coronary artery disease undergoing exercise thallium 201 scintigraphy.

Honeywell has been designing intelligent flightdecks for decades, but the next generation of technology will see them become even more intuitive and connected - to help the eventual transition to single-pilot and eventually fully autonomous aircraft
From the early days of aviation, Honeywell and its legacy businesses have played a leading role on the flightdeck, leading the evolution from electromechanical instruments to cathode ray tube displays and then to liquid crystal display (LCD) technology. The introduction of the Primus 1000/2000 glass cockpit for business and regional aircraft in the 1980s helped drive the transition from analogue, with flight data displayed on easy-to-read screens rather than on numerous separate dials and indicators.

Honeywell has been a leader in cockpit technology for many years
Today, Honeywell Aerospace continues to lead the way in avionics – displays, information management systems, and flight management systems – for commercial, military, and business aircraft, and is preparing for the next likely cockpit change: the advent of single-pilot passenger transport operations. Although this is some way off being agreed by the regulators – cargo flights might come first – Honeywell wants to be ready. "We are preparing ourselves for that next revolution in architecture," says Mike Ingram, vice president of cockpit systems within Honeywell Aerospace's electronic solutions strategic business unit.
That transition will require a "more intuitive, connected cockpit, where potentially the ground or eventually the avionics can take over if something goes wrong," he says. That might include technology that is able to monitor the behaviour of the sole pilot, providing warning signs of incapacitation, excessive stress or fatigue. There will also need to be an industry-wide campaign by regulators, airlines, airliner manufacturers and avionics suppliers to convince the public that getting on board an aircraft with one pilot is perfectly safe, adds Ingram.
In the meantime, many of the technological innovations that will eventually open the way for single-flightcrew operations will also make for an easier day at the office for current pilots. "It's about making the cockpit more compelling, with higher-resolution images, touchscreens, more colours, better graphical interfaces," he says. "Our job is to make the cockpit more intelligent and intuitive, ensuring that the pilot is being shown the right information at the right time, and countering information overload."
Recent launches, including the latest Surface Indications and Alert System (SURF IA) that gives pilots indications of potential runway incursions, are already being incorporated into Honeywell's avionics offering. SmartRunway and SmartLanding are two other software enhancements for the Runway Awareness and Advisory System feature on Honeywell's Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System that improve safety and increase situational awareness during taxi, take-off and landing.
When it comes to future developments in avionics, artificial intelligence will also "start to enter into things", with technology on the horizon that "understands" what the pilot intends to do and reduces menial tasks, suggests Ingram, who hints that the next 24 to 36 months could see revelations of progress Honeywell has made in this area. "We have a number of projects in development but nothing that we can talk about just yet," he says.
Although Honeywell flight management systems and other software are present in a number of Airbus, Boeing and other types in air transport, it is business aviation that dominates the company's forward-fit integrated cockpit activities. Honeywell addresses the market down to superlight jets and large turboprops such as the Pilatus PC-12 NG under its own brand, with BendixKing (see Page 10) serving the general aviation segment. Today's Primus family includes latest versions of the Epic (for two-crew business jets), Apex (single-pilot turboprops or light jets), and Elite integrated avionics systems.
With the biggest manufacturers, such as Dassault and Gulfstream, Honeywell has collaborated to design bespoke cockpits based on its Epic design, the EASy in the case of the Falcon family, and PlaneView and Symmetry with Gulfstream. The Symmetry cockpit that features on the G500, G600 and still-to-fly G700 flagship is one of the most advanced in business aviation, with integrated touchscreen controllers aimed at making displays "more intuitive, integrated and significantly more user-friendly".
Other attributes include SmartView synthetic vision, which improves the pilots' situational awareness by providing a large, 3-D, colour synthetic image of the outside world; a Next Generation Flight Management System that Honeywell says is optimised for future air traffic management functionality and to improve fuel efficiency, 2-D and 3-D moving maps showing runways, taxiways, airport structures and signs at many airports in two dimensions, while a 3-D moving map integrates the synthetic vision system for an "out the window" view of the airport on the primary flight display.
The Primus Epic for Dassault's EASy cockpit on the Falcon family of business jets incorporates large-landscape flat-panel displays and patented graphical flight planning functionality for modifying flight plans quickly, as well as monitoring weather, terrain and air traffic. Honeywell says that the imagery offers "scaleable window views so charts, maps and electronic engine instrumentation images can be presented for easier viewing".
While the technology itself is impressive, Ingram says there are two main drivers behind Honeywell's declared mission to develop avionics solutions "that help manufacturers design aircraft that can go anywhere, go anytime, and go for less". One is to make flying safer, by reducing pilot workload, distractions and stress, and the other is to save money for the ultimate customer by making their operations more efficient. "Ultimately all operators want to get their costs down," he says. "And with the industry facing a shortage of experienced pilots, they will achieve that if they can reduce the number of pilots they employ."

Things to Consider When Seeking Accounting Services.
All business organizations require the services of an accounting firm in handling their finances. The function of the accounting firm is to provide financial advice to the business organizations. Individuals also hire accounting firms to help in different situations such as acquiring and selling a property. The growth in the number of accounting firms had been contributed by the demand for accounting services. The high number of accounting firms has, in turn, contributed to the difficulty in choosing a company that will be able to offer the accounting services that you need efficiently. Therefore, before hiring an accounting firm, you should consider certain important factors so that you can hire the most suitable firm. I will, therefore, use this article to enlighten you about some of the important factors that you need to consider when hiring an accounting firm.
The qualification of the accountants is a major factor to consider. Accountants are persons who are equipped with relevant accounting knowledge and skills from an accredited learning institution. There are several levels of qualification as an accountant, and therefore you should go for the most qualified. After ascertaining the qualification of the accountants you should ensure that the firm is recognized by the accounting bodies. The quality of services that the accountants will be able to offer depends on their qualifications.
Another factor to consider is the number of the services that the firm will be able to offer. The accounting services required vary from one organization to another. The most common accounting services include financial management, cash flow analysis, and verification. Hence, you should hire an accounting firm that can render the accounting services that you need to avoid the costs associated with hiring different accounting firms. The firms should also be able to provide you with documents that prove their capability to offer the required services satisfactorily.
The firm should provide the accounting services at an affordable price. Hiring an affordable firm will help in cutting your operational costs thereby increasing your profit margin. The firm should also be in existence for an extended period of time offering the accounting services. An experienced firm will be able to deliver services of better quality than the ones that were established recently.
The firms should be able to offer timely services. The firm should always be at your disposal so as to avoid time wastage. Accounting involves putting your finances in the hands of a stranger; therefore, trust is crucial. The firms should be able to protect your financial records from access by unauthorized individuals. Therefore, you should conduct a research and establish the reliability and the trustworthiness of the firm before you make the hiring decision.


Yet another project -- Philadelphia Wi-Fi -- has shriveled and is about to die, as beleaguered EarthLink alerted customers it would terminate service June 12.
EarthLink, which had entered into an agreement to finance, build and manage the wireless network and share revenue with the city's Wireless Philadelphia initiative, failed to reach an agreement that would have transferred the infrastructure and operations to the city and nonprofit group.
EarthLink claims the network is worth $17 million.
EarthLink rolled out Wi-Fi networks in five U.S. cities in 2006 and 2007, but most have since failed. It reached agreements with Corpus Christi, Texas, and Milpitas, Calif., to take ownership of networks in those cities as it had hoped to do in Philadelphia. New Orleans is in the same straights as Philly.
A joint effort with Google and the city of San Francisco to provide municipal Wi-Fi there died in August 2007 when EarthLink backed out as its financial status appeared gloomy.
Philebrity, a source of all things City of Brotherly Love, offers the most thorough and flavorful account of the episode. Philebrity's tech writer, Brian James Kirk, reported that EarthLink CEO Rolla Huff put the blame at the feet of municipal officials, saying cities expected to have their cake and eat it too.
"It quickly became evident that we would have a really difficult time changing the perception by some of the cities that we owed them a free network rather than the city stepping up to make the business model viable for both them and for our shareholders," Hoff told reporters and interested parties during a conference call announcing the end of the ISP's wireless efforts in Philadelphia.
But the truth, according to astute news readers, is that a free network is exactly what EarthLink promised Philadelphia in 2005 when it won a public bid for the project. The city's former CIO cited EarthLink's offer to shoulder the construction cost as the reason it won the bid. It was only later that EarthLink and the cities involved realized how expensive and taxing the projects would be.
EarthLink is probably correct. Government may need to step up and throw some skin in the Wi-Fi game if the network will be a public utility. But EarthLink shouldn't pretend that it said otherwise at the beginning.

Tobin Heath Scores Twice, and Carli Lloyd, Megan Rapinoe and Whitney Engen add a Goal Apiece; USA Moves to 2-0-0 and Wraps up Group A Play Monday Against Haiti in Washington, D.C.
BRIDGEVIEW, Illinois (Oct. 17, 2014) – The U.S. Women's National Team moved a step closer to securing a spot in the semifinals of the 2014 CONCACAF Women's Championship with a 5-0 victory against Guatemala in Group A play at Toyota Park.
A resurgent USA squad scored four second-half goals. Tobin Heath led the way with two goals, while Carli Lloyd, Megan Rapinoe and center back Whitney Engen each tallied a goal.
The USA moves to the summit of Group A with a 2-0-0 record. Earlier in the day in Group A action, Trinidad & Tobago defeated Haiti 1-0. At 1-1-0, both Trinidad & Tobago and Haiti are fighting to also move on from group play, while Guatemala has been eliminated with a 0-2-0 record.
The U.S. wraps up Group A play against Haiti on Monday, Oct. 20, at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. (7:30 p.m. ET; FOX Sports 1). A victory or draw would guarantee the USA first place in the group and a top seed to face the Group B runner-up in the semifinals. The U.S. can also win Group A with a loss against Haiti if it retains superior goal differential.
Key Saves and Defensive Stops:GUA – Londy Barrios, 36th minute: Carli Lloyd worked the ball down the left side and crossed in toward Alex Morgan at the six-yard box. Barrios quickly got in the pathway and deflected it out for a USA corner kick as Morgan would have had a clear scoring chance at the near left post.
GUA – Alicia Navas, 41st minute: Megan Rapinoe's free kick from the right side lined up with both Whitney Engen and Sydney Leroux. Engen just missed getting a flick-header touch, but Leroux was in the way of Rapinoe's kick and shot toward the goal. However, the ball went directly to Navas, and the Guatemala goalkeeper secured.
GUA – Alicia Navas, 69th minute: Rapinoe's shot from the left side was destined for the far right post, and Navas stayed on top of it with the save and did not allow a rebound with Sydney Leroux lurking.
Carli Lloyd now has 52 goals in her career, the most for a WNT player exclusively to play as a midfielder. Lloyd is ninth on the USA's all-time goal scoring list and is now just one goal behind eighth-place Carin Gabarra (53 goals from 1987-96).
Lloyd notched her 29th-career assist and Megan Rapinoe her 28th assist. They rank 14th and 15th, respectively, on the U.S. WNT's all-time assists list.
Hope Solo added to her U.S. WNT record with her 75th-career shutout.
The U.S. WNT wraps up Group A play in the 2014 CONCACAF Women's Championship against Haiti on Monday, Oct. 20, at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. The game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. ET.
The USA is now 12-2-3 in 2014.
The U.S. WNT is 3-0-0 all-time against Guatemala. The USA has outscored Guatemala 27-0 in its three meetings.
U.S. head coach Jill Ellis made three changes to her starting lineup from the tournament opener against Trinidad & Tobago. The returning defensive starters included Hope Solo in goal, right back Ali Krieger, left back Meghan Klingenberg and center back Becky Sauerbrunn. Whitney Engen made her first start, getting the call ahead of Christie Rampone.
The midfield included returning starters Lauren Holiday and team captain Carli Lloyd, while Megan Rapinoe dropped back to the midfield against Guatemala. She had been in the front line in the last match.
Lloyd wore the armband for the first time since the USA's 2-2 draw against France on June 19 in East Hartford, Connecticut.
The USA's three starting forwards in their 4-3-3 formation featured returning starter Alex Morgan, and Sydney Leroux and Tobin Heath made their first starts, while Abby Wambach and Christen Press came off the bench.
In the 37th minute, Morgan collided with Guatemala defender Londy Barrios in a shoulder-to-shoulder sequence in Guatemala's defensive third. Morgan injured her left ankle, attempted to put pressure on it on the sidelines but was eventually forced to exit the game. She was ruled to have sprained her ankle, and Press replaced her in the 42nd minute.
The USA thought it had a two-goal lead heading into the halftime break when Meghan Klingenberg crossed from the left and connected perfectly with Press in the 45th minute. However, on the Press header, she was ruled to have fouled Marilyn Rivera and the goal was called back.
Kelley O'Hara was brought into the game for Krieger to open the second half.
In the 68th minute, Ellis used her final sub with Amy Rodriguez entering for Klingenberg. Heath dropped back to Klingenberg's spot at left back.
Lloyd and Rapinoe each scored their third-career goals in the CONCACAF Women's Championship.
Press and Sauerbrunn are the only USA players to have made an appearance in all 17 games this year.


As we close the books on 2018, we look back at all of the exciting initiatives that have been launched and progress made in providing technical assistance tools and training resources through WorkforceGPS. We started publishing Innovations in Action write-ups and now provide Executive Summaries of all ETA webinars.
We simplified the navigation of WorkforceGPS by combining Communities of Practice and Collections into a single "Communities" tab, and we spotlighted several Communities and the great work they are doing. In addition, we improved search by updating the layout, making it easier to find the resources you need. Finally, we started curating content on specific hot topic areas starting with resources addressing the opioid epidemic, resources to assist in setting up apprenticeship programs, and this month's focus on licensing and credentialing. We look forward to 2019 and plan even more improvements to your WorkforceGPS experience – all designed to help you in your everyday work with employers and job seekers.
Many challenging and well-paying occupations do not require an associate or baccalaureate degree to show expertise or competence in a job. Instead, a credential in a particular field can be just as important as a traditional academic degree, or more so in some areas. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) defines "recognized postsecondary credential" as a credential consisting of an industry-recognized certificate or certification, a certificate of completion of an apprenticeship, a license recognized by the State involved or Federal Government, or an associate or baccalaureate degree.
There is a great deal of research and work being done by many organizations and government entities on credentials and licensing. To help you navigate this space, we have identified a number of resources, websites, tools and promising practices in one resource page. We hope that this will give you a good starting point of references to better understand this topic and growing body of research and information to help you in your work with employers and job seekers.
The Workforce Innovation Cohort on Disability and Employment has been launched with 18 states to address disability and employment issues. The state or local teams are comprised of a cross-section of WIOA core program partners and other key stakeholders that will focus on three topic areas: Accessibility; Customer Service; and, Employer Engagement. Even if you are not part of the effort, check out some of the leading resources referenced by the cohort as they all work together to increase the prosperity of people with disabilities.
Toolbox for Success: Program Design and WIOA Resource Spotlights: In 2014, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was authorized, with the law taking effect in 2015. As the implementation continues, there are new opportunities and challenges facing YouthBuild programs. This resource page will help you plan and strengthen your program with a wide range of tools and examples of best practices, particularly related to program planning, program management, and performance outcomes.
Soft Skills and Disability Employment: Soft skills refer to a broad set of skills, competencies, behaviors, attitudes, and personal qualities that enable people to effectively navigate their environment, work well with others, and achieve goals. While soft skills is an important ingredient for success for everyone in the labor force, the list below primarily highlights specialized research and resources focused on the disability population.
Strategies for Promoting Successful Transitions to Adulthood, Higher Education, and the Workforce: Highlights six education and workforce policy strategies used in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin to explain young people transitioning to adulthood matters and how it predicts economic success; and examines the challenges and effective and promising strategies that leverage funding and partnerships to support improved outcomes for youth in the Great Lakes region.
LMI Training Gateway: Learn about LMI and How to Translate Data into Decision-Making: ETA has collected on this page numerous resources for helping you learn about LMI, what data sources are available and how to use various types of intelligence and workforce information in service delivery as well as decision-making activities in workforce development. This is your Gateway to LMI Training Resources!
America's Promise Apprenticeship Toolkit: This toolkit intends to inform America's Promise Grantees about strategies to develop and implement an apprenticeship program.

Q: How can I add 'view mode' to screen options for pages and cpts? The 'screen options' for posts has a view mode option, enabling switching between 'list' and 'excerpt' view (in which for the latter the except appears below the title).
How can I add such an option to pages (support for excerpts is enabled) and cpts which support excerpts?

A: Currently the excerpt view is limited to non-hierarchical post types.
We are able to filter the view mode in the Screen Options:

with the view_mode_post_types filter, introduced within ticket #22222 in changeset #35357:
/**
 * Filters the post types that have different view mode options.
 *
 * @since 4.4.0
 *
 * @param array $view_mode_post_types Array of post types that can change view modes.
 *                                    Default hierarchical post types with show_ui on.
 */
$view_mode_post_types = apply_filters( 'view_mode_post_types', $view_mode_post_types );

but because of this check in WP_Posts_List_Table::column_title():
if (
       ! is_post_type_hierarchical( $this->screen->post_type )
    && 'excerpt' === $mode
    && current_user_can( 'read_post', $post->ID )
) {
     echo esc_html( get_the_excerpt() );
}

we're not able to modify this check directly to add support for hierarchical post types.
There are some hackish workarounds possible but I didn't explore it further, as the ones I have in mind, might not be stable here.
ps: I think there's a typo in the inline documentation:

Default hierarchical post types with show_ui on.

should be

Default non-hierarchical post types with show_ui on.

because the default ones are src:
$view_mode_post_types = get_post_types(
    array( 'hierarchical' => false, 'show_ui' => true )
);

Update: The documentation for the filter has been fixed by ticket #41730

Christmas: Ugwuanyi declares free transportation for Enugu indigenes nationwide
Posted by Charles Iwuoha, Enugu | 13 December 2017 | 2,068 times
•Governor Ugwuanyi
Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has offered free transportation for indigenes of the state residing in other parts of Nigeria, who intend to return home to celebrate the festive season with their loved ones.
Announcing the welfare package, the Managing Director, Enugu State Transport Company (ENTRACO), Mr. Bob Itanyi, stated that the gesture was borne out of Gov. Ugwuany's magnanimity and enduring resolve to ameliorate the sufferings of the people of the state as well as give them a sense of belonging as the true heroes of democracy.
Mr. Itanyi explained that the free transportation exercise, which commences on Tuesday, December 19 and ends on Saturday, December 23, will be carried out in states of the federation that are far from the state, such as, Abuja, Lagos, Jos, Ibadan, Kaduna, Kano, Minna, Gombe, Ilorin, Sokoto, Jalingo, Bauchi, Nasarawa, Port Harcourt, among others.
The Managing Director stated that the beneficiaries must be those who are duly registered with the Enugu State Town Union in their respective states of residence, adding the company is coordinating the exercise with the leadership of the unions in the affected states, for accountability and effective result.
He disclosed that the returnees on arrival will be formally received by the State Commissioner for Transport, Hon. Vitus Okechi, the MD of ENTRACO, and others, at the former main depot of the company, opposite the state headquarters of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), Enugu.
"His Excellency, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, as a God-fearing and humanitarian leader has graciously given us approval to convey Enugu indigenes resident in almost all other states back to the state free of charge this festive season.
"This time around, it will not be business as usual. We are going to bring back Enugu State indigenes in body and not ghost indigenes. Nothing will be hidden during the exercise. The leaders of the Enugu State Town Union in the respective states have been mobilized to ensure that our people benefit from this welfare scheme, which the state government has extended to the people of the state.
"We, therefore, sincerely thank the governor for this gesture, which has once again demonstrates his love, kindness and passion for the wellbeing of the people of Enugu State," the MD said.

This is a slightly belated follow up to "Thoughts on Front End Development in late 2016". The idea is to chronicle thoughts I've had between the last time I wrote about front-end development by quarter. I like to pretend this blog is about front-end development and not random hacks for emulators, pining for new Mac Pros and audio gadgetry.
I finally used Docker on a project and its wonderful (I'll admit I did not do the tooling to set up the container). It'd be interesting to try and fold in the front end techs into a docker container.
Chrome is kinda glitchy again when dealing with React. I've had better luck with code injection on Safari the past few weeks.
• I set up Webpack for our two apps at my company. Webpack is mysterious (unlike piping in Gulp) but damn if it isn't necessary for React. I even saved the day for a coworker with custom fonts. It turned out to be configuring MIME types for font loading. It really shouldn't be this hard, but it is.
I started on another side project like CSSFilterGenerator.com, and it'll be on React.
I'm happy to work on another Django project. I wish I had more projects with Django.
Drupal 8 should be headless and do away with its own goofball templating. Ship it with popular templating options.
For the first time I'm (almost) full stacking a site (at my current job), with Expression Engine.
The next step for React and me is getting into Redux.
Windows 10 S makes me sad. It means Edge will gain market share. It's also pretty much an anti-pattern, desktops are open, and Windows best strength has been: its huge library of software. Limiting it to the Windows Store is pretty much terrible, sure its $50 to "unlock" it but if I were Apple, I'd be laughing myself to sleep.
I wish Node apps idled better.
Changing OS X to target tabs instead of new windows really has been a surprisingly big change in my day-to-day.


These Cofresh Spicy Chick Peas seem like a perfect alternative snack to spicy chilli nuts or chilli flavoured crisps. These Spicy Chick Peas were fried in rapeseed oil and then had chilli powder and salt added to them. They sounded pretty simple to prepare (he states in ignorance) and there was plenty of them in the packet. Certainly enough for a good snack sharing evening of entertainment in front of the box whilst watching Strictly Come Dancing. I do like the dancing and all round cheerful nature of the programme. Anyway, these Spicy Chick Peas had a light curry flavour to start with, and then after a couple of mouthfuls the medium chilli heat filled my mouth pleasingly. Very nice, very tasty, but you don't need a fire extinguisher with these chick peas. The only problem was the size of the bag. There is only three of us, and for the size of bag you need a big party of people. However, if Cofresh put these in lunchbox 'peanuts' sized bags, I'm sure they'd fly off the shelves like... Well, like hot Spicy Chick Peas!
