Many quality social services are available to residents of California's communities. But due to the fragmented way programs are funded, there is all too often little coordination among programs. Accessing services effectively and on a timely basis can be an extremely difficult task for the general public.
Many of the problems associated with the fragmentation of services are information issues. Not only are consumers in the dark about available services, but often the agencies themselves don't know all of the services available for their clients because no information system has connected agencies to each other. Furthermore, the general public is largely unaware of important related information on topics such as specific disorders, early intervention, prevention, independent living, and advocacy.
The corporate community has for some time now been addressing similar information problems using a variety of Internet solutions. Until now, Web technology has been scarce in diverse, fragmented public systems such as those serving the elderly, people with disabilities, kids at risk, and people with mental illness. However, a revolution is taking place in the public's use of the Internet. Today, an astonishing 60 percent of the public uses the Internet as its primary source of health information - and the number is growing. A way to connect the vast, extensive, easily accessible, nearly universal phenomenon of the Internet to the health and social service needs of the local community is sorely needed.
Trilogy bridged this gap. The Network of Care Web Project is a state/county, public/private partnership that was born of a State of California innovation grant in early 2001. Network of Care (www.networkofcare.org) is a single place for consumers, caregivers and case managers to gain knowledge; quickly find and coordinate community services; store important information, and advocate to policymakers.
Trilogy Integrated Resources worked with Alameda and Sacramento counties to launch the Network of Care for Seniors & People with Disabilities in August 2001, and since then, the sites have rapidly expanded.
The California Department of Mental Health sought to replicate the highly successful Network of Care for Seniors & People with Disabilities with a similar online community for behavioral health services. It chose San Diego County as its inaugural site. The Network of Care for Mental/Behavioral Health now serves counties in many states, including the entire states of Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland, Hawai'i, Nebraska and Montana. The Network of Care for Kids (ages 0-5) was launched in multiple counties in 2003. The Network of Care for Children, Youth & Families (ages 0-18) was launched in California and Ohio in 2004. The Network of Care for Developmental Disabilities and Network of Care for Domestic Violence were launched in 2005. The Network of Care for Public Health Assessment and Wellness and the Network of Care for Probation Services were introduced in 2008. The Network of Care for Service Members, Veterans & Their Families was launched in 2009.

Hi, this is my first post on a Java forum, so please go easy ! (I`m sure you won`t bite !)
OK, I`m learning Java on an Open University Course. I`ve come to a point where I want to "deviate" from the course a little, to test and expand upon what I`ve learned. As usual, I`m running (well, jogging) a little before I can walk properly, but that`s the way I am !
I`m trying to write a Lottery Syndicate Management program for a friend who runs the syndicate that I am a member of. It`s a GUI standalone application that stores and maintains sysndicate member`s details and monitors payments from members, payouts to members and checks our lottery entries against each week`s lottery draw. So far, so good(ish). I have now stumbled upon a programming issue that I`m stuck on.
I have a JPanel with several buttons to invoke different functions for Syndicate Members - Add, Delete, Edit, Payment, Payout, OK and Cancel. Next to these buttons, in the same JPanel, I`m displaying the currently selected member (if there is one). If I click on "Add", the "add" method is called to carry out the procedure to enter a new syndicate member`s details, then add this member to the current syndicate. Depending on current "mode", I enable or disable appropriate buttons. In "add" mode, I disable Edit, Payment etc buttons, but enable OK and Cancel. When the member has been added, the add method finishes by creating a new member and enabling the "Add, Delete Edit etc buttons, ready for the next user request.
Here`s the question !
The "Cancel" and "Ok" buttons need to execute different code/methods, depending upon the current procedure being carried out. If a member is being added, the OK button should check the entered details and create a new member. If a payment is being input for a current member, the OK button will simply invoke code to enter the payment into the member`s details. I`m using ActionListener to detect mouse clicks on enabled JButtons, then call the appropriate method, as below.
If the program is executing "add()", and the user clicks the Cancel button, I need invoke specific code to cancel the "add" operation. However, if the user is using "Payment", the same cancel button will need to invoke different code.public MemberPanel() { //initComponents(); super(); jButton1.addActionListener(this); jButton2.addActionListener(this); jButton3.addActionListener(this); jButton4.addActionListener(this); jButton5.addActionListener(this); jButton6.addActionListener(this); jButton7.addActionListener(this); jButton8.addActionListener(this); jButton9.addActionListener(this); } public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) { Object source = event.getSource(); if (source == jButton1) { this.add(); } if (source == jButton2) { this.payment() } if (source == jButton6) { this.ok(); } if (source == jButton7) { this.cancel(); } }
Any suggestion on what is the best way to achieve what I`m trying to do ?
I`ve thought about creating seperate, specific JPanels for each mode of operation, but that seems like a lot of work, and is probably inefficient.
Could it be that I need to create several "Cancel" buttons, and utilise a specific button for each mode of operation ? What I`ve learned about Java so far, is that it`s more powerfull, yet complex than I thought it would be, and that there are often "clever" ways of achieving certain programming goals.
Oh, and studying Java is interesting, but it sometimes makes my brain hurt.

A Woman Named Paris
Paris isn't a city for a lonely man but I was not alone after all. My father and I were on a private vacation for a whole week. We were joined by my sisters and got to spend such precious time together. Yet in moments of elation, in instances of edification I was haplessly solitary and I missed her by my side terribly.
I came back three days ago yet I'm still living out of my suitcase. The last month or two seem to have been a perpetual trip. I called Fares today from my hotel room in Damascus. He was surprised that I'm not home. He didn't even know that I had left very early this morning. I'm sorry Son, I'll make it up to you tomorrow. The problem is that I've been suffering from PVDS for the last couple of days. Ah, PVDS, that's Post Vacation Depression Syndrome. I'll be very surprised if such a psychological condition doesn't exist. Well, I know I have it in chronic form. Every time I return from a vacation I get utterly depressed. In fact, I was feeling so down yesterday I wrote it on my wall in facebook, a site I wholeheartedly despise. Why am I still there, I myself wonder. I honestly don't have a straight answer. It's one way, I guess, to break the isolation imposed by space and time. A few of my dear friends even got worried about me and I thank them for that. Don't mind me please as I have an indestructible spirit. Falling down becomes a sweet memory once we're up and running again even if we were let down by someone close. I feel sorry already for privately blaming a friend who couldn't defend herself. I withdraw everything she never heard. She was probably acting in what she thought was the best interest of all concerned.
Back to Paris... Ahhh, what can I write about her! She's a beautifully sexy woman in her early forties. Elegantly dressed, hair swept up and clipped at the back, alluring blue eyes, a string of pearls for a smile, a seductive cleavage with small bouncy boobs, a firm butt, perfect legs, tiny feet and pedicured toes walking down the Champs-Elysées with a wake of perfumed dreams lingering in her trail. I've been privileged to meet her finally after the other European cities I visited over the years. Apparently, I've saved the best for last as there isn't any other place that can even come close. Paris is indeed center of the world, splendor of civilization, cradle of democracy, defeater of monarchy, fortress of resistance, gallery of arts, salon of literature... and satin-sheeted wrought iron bed for lovers. I can't recall all the intimate places I touched in her. I had a whole week, seven days of uninhibited love making and I'm glad I've somehow covered every little exquisite spot of her naked body.
Disconcerting how my mind seems to be jumping all over. Bringing seemingly unrelated matters together in one single post. Am I really writing about Paris the city? Am I hallucinating after my depression? Am I celebrating my recovery? Am I for real or am I only babbling senselessly. I mixed a woman with my sadness, a kid with my friends, betrayal with my apology, Paris with my love making in the hope of reaching the truth. I needed to do that, I had to pick up the pieces before I can smile again. Once I start smiling my heart pumps happiness in my bloodstream. And I just felt it, after eluding me for thirty six hours, echoing around my ribcage, my heart is bursting with a fit. My lungs, my belly, my ass, every cell of my body taken by surprise, swept away with contagious laughter. I'm me again.

my dear Abufares, I totally understand your feeling and have experienced PVDS even months after a vacation. I don't blame you. She is beautiful and elegant. I was telling a friend just last night that it's no wonder Paris has the reputation she does. How often do you find such a perfect place where every corner is overflowing with character and history. How did the French keep getting it right in producing such a beautiful city over hundreds of years?
I will never forget being awakened by the click clack of the heals of a beautiful French woman on my first night in Paris. It was perhaps the best wake up call I will ever receive.
- Gabriela said...
Maybe you had to get all mixed up in order to rearrange your own puzzle. I'm pretty sure you are doing better now.
And I guess there is a PVDS!
All the best.
- Dubai Jazz said...
PVDS is real. But it goes away as soon as you settle back into the good old routine, at least that how it is with me. I have a theory: it's probably a sub-conscious reaction to the life-style one is accustomed too. It's your psyche's peculiar way of telling you, after it had come fresh and invigorated from vacation, that no, please don't put me back through the old routine. I could be wrong though.
I like your description of Paris, man, it's probably one of the best tributes written about the city! There's one side of Paris that you had probably kept to yourself. Not out of selfishness, but probably because you opted to promote all the right things about her. I mean, isn't she promiscuous? Wayward and mysterious? I wouldn't know. I haven't been there yet.
- KJ said...
I had PVDS too, but I knew the cause, and thankfully we have parted ways.
Perhaps it is time to NOT settle into the good ol routine, and make your own now.
- Katia said...
Hi Abufares,
I'm glad you're getting over your PVDS. I've been back for a week and I'm still fighting it. But that's me: I PVDS hard and long.
As for Paris, what a tribute! Reading it pushed me towards new resolutions: more spontaneous last minute weekends in Paris for me, just like it used to be. I'll even take the PVDS with that.
Too bad you couldn't make a jump to Brussels!
@DJ: Paris promiscuous? Would you call a successful, confident, flirty woman promiscuous? I'd say definitely not! Just let her live her life head up high, no judgement... and enjoy her while you can ;-)
- Mariyah said...
Ah, Abu Fares, only you could bring together a collection of seemingly unrelated thoughts and make them so intrinsically cohesive - and very beautifully at that. How wonderful for you to have experienced Paris to her fullest! And how lucky for Paris to have had you in her streets, and cafes, museums, and perhaps those lovely, tucked away, places where tourists rarely go. ;) I'm so glad you have beaten down your PVDS, which I think everyone has experienced at least once in their lifetime. I know I have. Welcome back. I hope you find some equally rewarding pleasures in your regular routine.
@Katia: Bravo!! Well said!! :)
- Unknown said...
You know the funny thing is that I just checked online and actually found something called Post Vacation Blues or PTD (Post Travel Depression).
Good. I wasn't imagining then.
Paris is an eternal city with beauty beyond words. No wonder the French are snobby. Over the years I came to discover that residents of primate cities (capitals in general) tend to be snobby ;-) Well, being a Parisian probably justifies it, or at least make it bearable for us, sons and daughters of the provinces to accept...
- Unknown said...
I reshuffled the deck of cards and got a great hand.
I'm on top of the world.
You're absolutely right, we need to gather the loose ends every once in a while to make sense of the chaos.
Thank you dear friend.
- Unknown said...
I know of very few men who manage to get themselves in trouble with women as much as you do;-)
Is it on purpose or you really screw up every time. LOL.
I said what I wanted to say about Paris knowing fully that I can't do her justice. She's pretty beyond my humble words.
I've always been a small town boy and don't feel at home in large cities. But if I were forced to there's no place better than Paris to choose.
Promiscuous??? The girls already answered you :-)
- Unknown said...
I would just love to ... fuck it all. May be one day. Hopefully, one day.
- Unknown said...
I really wish we could've met. Hopefully next time.
Spending weekends in Paris and living in Brussels that would be soooooooo coooooooool.
Drinking Duvel every weeknight then a glass of Bordeaux on weekends...
Life as it was meant to be!!!
- Unknown said...
Only you could make me feel this way when you comment here. I mean if it were not for keeping face in front of all the others I would have melted for you.
How can I answer that: "And how lucky for Paris to have had you..."
Where are you girl??? Wherever, that is, it would be the nicest place in the world for me to be at right now ;-)
And DJ, there's a lesson for you here, LMAO.
- Dubai Jazz said...
Oh my, had I known my comment would elicit such a passionate and intelligent response I'd have been more careful with my wording :)
Katia, atta girl! IMHO though, there's no reason that anybody, be them promiscuous or not, shouldn't hold their head high.
Finally, allow me to dedicate this song to you.
- Dubai Jazz said...
Baseeta ya Abu Fares, you're hanging me out to dry at the first trial even though you've been my mentor for long long time...
No wonder I keep screwin' up..LOL
- Joseph said...
Welcome Back. "Only that, and that is all" .If I may and with all respect.
If I add just one more word Abufares it would be like ugly weed breaking up through Mariyah's beautiful garden.
- Isobel said...
Well, where can you go after Paris? Or is there a need to go anywhere else? It sounds like the pinnacle of destinations!! You describe "her" so beautifully in your own inimitable way, Abu Fares. I'm glad you're feeling better and have been able to regale us with your experiences once again! Perhaps one day I'll be lucky enough to write a comparable post - at least about Paris! :)
- Unknown said...
I couldn't resist the temptation.
Well anyway... It seems that I'm a very bad mentor. You know it's exactly the same as saying that you were a very bad pupil.
lol lmao lol lmao
- Unknown said...
Well I agree with you. Mariyah does have a way of making the whole world more beautiful.
- Unknown said...
Just in case you didn't know. No matter how bad I feel, once I hear from you... I'm on top of the world :-)
A comparable post by you??? You must be kidding. But wait, I have a big surprise for you.
A little wine, a little brie, a stary night, soft jazz, Paris an intoxicating city! ... no wonder you felt down afterwards. The cliche, life is a rollercoster comes to mind, too many ups and downs. But it sure is good to hear that you have managed to stay again on top!
I have been on the down side this last few weeks... I suppose it will pass.
take care,
w.b. yeats
PS. Beautiful pictures : )
w.b. yeats
- Unknown said...
@w.b. yeats
I was starting to worry about you.
I was pinned to the wagon wheel as it tumbled down. Then, it gyrated slower and slower, flatter and flatter until it came to a compete stop. Right side up as far as I'm concerned. I released the straps around my wrists, stood up, brushed off my jeans, smiled and let my heart roar with laughter.
I hope it will pass soonest with you too :-)
- Fantasia said...
I love Paris. I do ... I however, see her more as a Grand Old Dame. Vienna, Barcelona, Prague and Florence .... How I love them too.
I am on Vacation myself. On a tiny rock in the middle of the Carribean - and here I have found a small slice of Paradise.
I am amazed at the world, at it's diverse gems ... at the wonder we can see if we venture beyond our safety zone. So much to take in ... so little time.
But yes, Paris ... She remains one of the must sees in a lifetime.
As I enter my second week of vacation, I know that i will go home too soon and find both torture and comfort in the return. Once again dear friend, you have found words to express what I often can only feel.
- Unknown said...
Have fun on your tiny rock and come back to tell us (almost all).

I posted:FTM2012 - Parish vs Burials - Clean Up and mentioned that I have changed how I handle Burial Facts. The biggest change is to use the Find-A-Grave cemetery names. This helps get the place naming consistent.
As I am a contributor to the Find-A-Grave website, willing to take photographs of headstones, I have my list of Cemeteries on Find-A-Grave. This is a partial list of my cemeteries. It is a quick list and link to those cemeteries.
It also includes the town, county, state, and county information for that Cemetery. So, IF I am missing a piece of the Place Name in my database, I can pick it up here. I will also do a quick search to see if my person is listed there. If they are, I have some confirmation that my database is right. IF the name is not there, I may have some follow up work to do.
By following this process, I realized that I haven't completely looked that the Find-A-Grave website for other family member. When I do my check for "my person", I will search for the Surname and, in many cases, show me who I missed.
I now have the choice to incorporate that information into my file, or do it later. At the moment, I will do that later. Just looking at about 3 cemeteries, I have located about 5 people who are buried there, that I don't have a Burial Fact for. But, my current task is to get the Place Workspace cleaned up and into the new format.

For this assignment you are to write a program that handles text files. The assignment requires three classes (plus library classes); we've given you two - FreqStudy, the driver, and another class, WordCount.
import java.util.*; import java.io.*; public class FreqStudy{ public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("enter file name"); String fileName = scan.next(); Scanner scan2 = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("enter words to search for"); System.out.println("enter lower case, separated by spaces"); String wordString = scan2.nextLine(); WordFreq f = new WordFreq(fileName,wordString); f.readLines(); f.reportFrequencies(); } }
WordCount class
public class WordCount{ private String word; private int count; public WordCount(String w){ word = w; count = 0; } public String getWord(){ return word;} public int getCount(){ return count;} public void incCount(){count++;} public String toString() { return(word + " --- " + count); } public boolean equals(Object other){ WordCount i = (WordCount)other; return (this.word.equals(i.word)); } }
As demonstrated in the example run above, an external text file name is entered first. Then any number of individual words are entered, all lower case, and separated by spaces. After doing its analysis, the program then displays a chart that gives the frequencies in the text of the indicated words, to four decimal places. Thus 2.42% of all of the words in the Heart of Darkness text file are "I", 1.33% are "he", and so forth. Pretty clearly Heart of Darkness is narrated in the first person, and is mostly about men.
Further requirements and tips:
* you MUST use an array of WordCount objects to keep track of the occurrences of the indicated words.
* Use printf from Chapter 5 to format your output.
* If s is a String, then this String class method call:
s.split(" "); // this is a single space surrounded by quote marks
returns an array of strings that consists of the tokens (separated by white space) in s. For example, given
String s = "i he his she hers";
String[] words = s.split(" ");
Then words is this five element array of strings: {i, he, his, she, hers}
At the course website we've provided some tips for solving this problem, and in addition we've provided some text files that you might want to experiment with. Thus we urge you to check the ProgramNotes link at the course website for further information about the assignment.
In the box below, enter your WordFreq code. Be sure to comment your code. (As usual, do not add/use additional import statements)
This is the code I have this far but I know that it is wayyy offfimport java.io.IOException; import java.util.*; public class WordFreq extends Echo{ private String wordString; private int ct = 0; private String total = ""; private WordCount[]words = new WordCount[8]; private String[]count; private String[]wordString2; private String s; public WordFreq(String f, String w)throws IOException{ super(f); wordString = w; } public void processLine(String line){ wordString2 = wordString.split(" "); s = line; total += s + " "; count = total.split(" "); for(int j = 0; j < count.length; j++){ words[j] = new WordCount(count[j]); } for(int j = 0; j < wordString2.length; j++){ if(wordString2[j].equals(words[j].getWord())){ words[j].incCount(); } } }
CAN'TTT even begin to explain how confused I am. Someone please help!

About the S15 Owners Club
The S15 Owners Club was formed in 2005 by several members of the UK Nissan 200SX Owners Club (SXOC) with the idea of creating, initially, a web forum where English speaking S15 owners worldwide could visit to gain technical, buying and general information about the car. All too often it is a case of having to trawl through other web forums to find specific information and advice on the S15. By having this club/forum, we hope that our members will be able to filter information from other forums and focus the relevant stuff here.
The S15 was only sold in the Japanese, Australian and New Zealand markets. All examples in other countries are specialist imports. Due to a number of our members being in the UK and Ireland, we can offer a good amount of experience and advice as to what to look for and how to go about importing into Europe.
The majority of the club members are based in Australia and New Zealand. This is great, as they live in markets where the car was sold and have an everyday knowledge of the car.
At the moment the club is forum-based, but we hope to be able to expand on that in the future. We have already organised several meets and events and hope to offer some merchandise to our members. If you have any questions about the S15, or even just an interest in the car, please feel free to browse the forum and sign-up.

Lay the stud finder flat against the wall you wish to hang a picture on. Press the button on the side of the stud finder to activate it, and slowly slide it across the wall until the green light indicates there is a stud present. - Mark the stud area with your pencil, then install your picture hanger.

Insert the nail and pound the hanger securely into the wall. (www.ehow.com) Go Green A tip from Treehugger.com on how to green your garden: Sign up for green power: Getting green power may be as easy as checking a box on your energy bill. About 600 of the U.S.'s 6,000 power utilities offer a green power option of one kind or another. In this sort of program, the local utility buys renewable energy (wind, solar, etc.) and then passes it along to customers. It often costs a bit more, but not much, and it helps support the industry for clean, green power. Before you sign up, though, ask where they're getting their power from. If it's a source like waste coal or waste-to-power, you might be better off buying your credits elsewhere. Kitchen Clutter: Set Up a Baking Zone A baking zone in the kitchen is ideal for the cookie-dough enthusiast and allows you to take quick inventory of your baking needs. Devote a counter and upper or bottom cabinet to the following: cookie sheets and loaf pans; a kitchen mitt or hot pads; and flour, sugar and other baking necessities in plastic containers (and placed away from the oven). If your mixer is stylish, leave it out on the counter; otherwise stash it with the mixing bowls. Consider other organizing zones for: beverages, cleaning supplies, mail and recycling and trash.

It gets a patina after a while. It is also a soft metal and will dent if mistreated. If you like the "bright" copper look, either be prepared to do constant polishing or go another route.

News Release
The City of Palo Alto
Communications Department
250 Hamilton Ave
Palo Alto, CA 94301
Subject :
City of Palo Alto Expands Open Government Agenda with Open Data By Default Proclamation
Contact :
Jonathan Reichental, Chief Information Officer 650/329-2121
Claudia Keith, Chief Communications Officer 650/329-2607
Palo Alto, CA
At the Palo Alto City Council meeting on Monday, Feb. 3, Mayor Nancy Shepherd is scheduled to read an Open Data by Default proclamation that firmly establishes the City's long-term aspiration to be a model for open government.
While still in the early stages of its evolution, Open Data requires a sustained effort to build momentum and become codified into the operations of public agencies. To this end, the City is moving forward to be Open Data by Default.
Under City Manager James Keene, the City has committed itself to be even more inclusive and transparent through the launch of an open data platform. This
open data platform
aims to make a range of City data easily accessible to the community, and is hosted in a way that makes it easy for software applications to use.
"Our efforts to support Open Data for the long term must include a vision, a set of principles, and the actions to make that happen," said Keene. "We're taking an important step by proclaiming our commitment to build a sustained pathway to openness and inclusiveness. In addition, there is no doubt that Open Data can contribute to enriching our democracy."
Open Data, first championed by the White House in 2008, has proven to build trust, provide essential transparency into the functions of public agencies, and to spur economic activity.
Since 2012, Palo Alto has expanded its Open Data to include
Open Budget
, a repository and visualization of a five year period of City budget information, and
, an experiment in making City geospatial data more easily available.
For its efforts, the City has been recognized by
California Forward
who called the City, "a model for transparency in California." The Open Budget application has received a state and national award, and the City's work with Open Data has contributed to its designation by the Center for Digital Government as the
#1 digital city in America
in its population size category.
City Chief Information Officer Jonathan Reichental said, "I'm very proud to be part of this effort as we push the boundaries of open government in Palo Alto and create momentum for cities across America to do the same thing. Our Open Data work means innovators, entrepreneurs, and a wide range of stakeholders can use this data to be informed and build solutions. In addition to the important aspiration of openness by default, Open Data can be a contributor to economic growth."
In the months ahead, the City plans to publish many more datasets to its open data platform including data from the recent deployment of

Let the sin continue… Cole Sterling racks up plenty of frequent flyer miles in his sinful style behind closed doors with the women and men of LA.

40 Years of Luxury Lifestyle for Men
"I have a mission: I want to design garments for the wardrobe of a man who already has everything. Nevertheless who appreciates rare and precious materials, sophisticated details, exclusive
prints, unseen shades of colours and a style which is classic but also quite different and personal." -Stefano Ricci
The STEFANO RICCI company was founded in 1972 by Florentine designer Stefano Ricci. Passionate about ties, he decided to create his own designs at a very young age. His creations
were immediately received enthusiastically when he first participated in the Pitti Immagine Uomo fashion exhibit in Florence. In this international setting the STEFANO RICCI tie collection
emerged thanks to the innovative, yet very classic nature of his patterns. Stefano Ricci had transformed the role of the tie from a simple accessory item to a real protagonist of menswear.
The first STEFANO RICCI shirt collection was launched in 1980. In order to achieve a quality as high as the coveted Stefano Ricci tie, the new venture applied the same successful rules: perfect
manufacturing, top quality materials and exclusive designs. In 1993, after reinforcing the brand's presence in the USA, STEFANO RICCI decided to open its first mono-brand store in Shanghai, in a time where China was still being introduced to highfashion. A pioneer adventure that within a few years, begun to have excellent results. In the occasion of the 1997 edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo fashion exhibit, after many years of work and constant research in the field of men's accessories and apparel, Stefano Ricci presented his clothing collection including jackets, suits, sportswear and launched the STEFANO RICCI "Classic" fragrance. This scent will then be followed in 2009 with the "Platinum" essence and bath set, and in 2011 with the "Aureum" fragrance.
While maintaining sartorial indisputable elegance, the Brand stands out for its natural shape of particular lightness, softness and wearability. The STEFANO RICCI menswear collection consists of a wide range of menswear-suits, dress shirts, jeans, polo shirts, casual wear and neckties. In addition, STEFANO RICCI produces exclusive leather goods and following the ancient Florentine goldsmith tradition, Stefano Ricci created a cufflinks collection, using gold, platinum, diamonds, sapphires and other gems. The extreme pursuit of perfection, the selection of leathers and fabrics and the greatest care for details, represent the core values of the Brand. This motivated the company to purchase in 2010 the Antico Setificio Fiorentino, a true historical factory that produces silk fabrics for noble families throughout the world, since 1786, using antique hand looms to this day.
In 2009, the brand's line expanded to include the home with the STEFANO RICCI "Royal Suite Collection", in constant evolution, covering various types of products: porcelain and crystal dinner services, silverware, furnishing accessories, luxury linens and leather goods. In 2011, STEFANO RICCI inaugurated the Moscow fashion week with a runway show dedicated to the Italian dream, in front of an audience of 2500 guests. This same year, the company opened new headquarters on the hills of Florence, in the region of Fiesole. Stefano Ricci has received numerous international awards, highlighted by a significant return in terms of image, combined with steady growth in turnover.
In 2012, STEFANO RICCI S.p.A. celebrated its 40th anniversary in the prestigious Uffizi Gallery Museum, a tribute to elegance and to Florentine heritage, celebrating the brand standing as a
reference point for "Made in Italy" distinction. The STEFANO RICCI garments enrich the wardrobes of the most renowned international celebrities, head of states, industry leaders and royal families and have always been a concrete testimonial of how fashion can become a lifestyle.
In September 2012, STEFANO RICCI wrote a new chapter in its history, presenting a new concept of interiors for Super Yachts. With the support of the Florentine yacht designer Luca
Dini, STEFANO RICCI has developed a project for a 230 feet (72 meters) Mega-Yacht from the Benetti Custom line, designed to cater to the requirements of a high-end clientele and inserted
into the Benetti Design Innovation project. An unmistakable style, made possible by the Florentine House's craftsmanship according to their design codes: Californian briar-root, Tuscan travertine and crocodile skin.
Today, the brand is run by Stefano Ricci, his wife Claudia and his two sons, Niccolò (C.E.O.) and Filippo (Creative Director). They are more than ever committed to bringing Italian fashion
to the world, with 31 boutiques internationally including Beijing, Beverly Hills, Milan, Florence, Monte-Carlo, Moscow, Vienna, New York, Paris, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore and Abu Dhabi.

16 Great Bites from the Outside Lands Festival, San Francisco
Three years ago, during the first Outside Lands Music Festival, much was made of the fact that Radiohead would be rocking out in Golden Gate Park, for the first time in San Francisco history, long after the sun went down. Well, at least until 9:55 pm. I learned that this does feel late when you end up in the Outer Richmond, unsure how to get home and eating a calzone in an Italian restaurant run by Koreans. Did I eat anything at the festival? I honestly can't remember.
Oh, how three years can change things. Outside Lands has evolved from a music festival with a slight identity crisis ('90s rock tribute? Jam band base? Indie mecca?) in the foggy outer lands of the city to a full blown celebration of San Francisco: the best bands, new and old come together; comedy acts and art installations are spread throughout the grounds; and food has taken its rightful place as a main act.
What's New On Serious Eats
Where better than San Francisco, champion of local sourcing and authentic ethnic cuisine, should a festival of music coincide with a celebration of food? Our chefs are rock stars, our food carts are Off the Grid, and as a city we cannot get enough of the new, the fresh, the porky and the fried.
The food selection at Outside Lands started stepping up in year two, most memorably with boxes of fried chicken and waffles from Farmer Brown's Little Skillet. My hands sticky with syrup, I looked up through the dusky twilight and streams of people migrating towards the main stage for Pearl Jam and thought, "this could not possibly taste better."
Arepas, maize'wiches, yucca chips and plantains at Pica Pica.
Farmer Brown is still going strong at Outside Lands, and has been joined by an enormous assortment of San Francisco food providers, with offerings from sit-down restaurants like Maverick and Straw to food carts like Senor Sisig and El Huarache Loco.
A food truck forest held court in the trees with the fairy tale-like Choco-Lands residing just up the hill, where you could find creme brulee pops, cupcakes and cookies. Philz Coffee fresh brewed by the cup, should you find yourself too drowsy after tastings in the wine tent. A gathering of farms selling enormous slices of melon and juicy-sweet tomatoes put many a farmers' market to shame.
And then, of course, there was the music: three straight days, artists to suit every taste, plus a number of nighttime shows at small clubs around the city. It was impossible to see every great band, just as it was impossible to try every delicious bite the festival had to offer. But, as one does at festivals, we crammed in as much as we could in three days.
We left with ringing ears and full bellies. And as I remember Arcade Fire's set closing the festival, I'll forever remember having a porchetta sandwich in one hand, a pernil maize'wich in another. And thinking to myself, "this could not possibly taste better."

I have seen "32.4 Externalizing Graphics" in the Tikz manual, which explains how Tikz images can easily be exported as PDF images using pdfLaTeX.
However, I am persuaded I saw somewhere a way to export a Tikz picture to 'raw' (primitive?) Latex code in
picture environment syntax (i.e. using
\line, etc.) - but I may have mixed this up with
dpic/M4 Circuit macros :)
In any case - if
tikz images get 'compiled' to (La)Tex code as an intermediate step - is it somehow possible to export/externalize/convert Tikz picture code to (plain?) LaTeX code?

After 36 consecutive days of stellar selections, our pal and Canadian mentor, John "cruj" Gartshore, saw his streak snap thanks to Albert Pujols' 0-for-4 performance.

Heading up the lake for the weekend, gotta get some solid picks lined up form fri-sunday. Looking for some help….right now ive got:
fri: pedroia (was thinking helton, but livan is doing it this yr)
sat: ethier (had werth, but changed)
sund: werth (had m. cabrera but changed)
Just wondering if anyone had some stats or info that Im missing or waht other ppl are thinking. Worried about ethier jsut cuz i havent picked him yet and he cant go on hitting like this forever, can he?
Cubs back at Wrigley Field v. Pirates
Wind blowing W15 mph toward right field. Koske Fukadome may hit one out and I've got him im HR BTS.
Eitheir v. Garland – both are hot
I'm going with Ichirio.
Rocks in Survivor
Good Luck to all today
Grand Amigo – Great "Godfather" movie reference in your commentary today – keep up the great work! Does Lebron play baseball?
As Cruj's younger brother, I have to take the time to commend him on the impressive streak….it was a helluva run bro! But often in life, the elder sibling passes the torch to the more youthful member of the family. I thank you for the opportunity and will now run with it….a mere 33 more consecutive correct picks is needed to meet you atop the leaderboard. I'm ready!!
PS- Youkilis to end my remarkable W3 streak today.
MLB Survivor now officially has more active players without streaks than with streaks. Yesterday, the MLB Terminator infiltrated and wiped out 83% of the entire field; leaving about 17% with streaks and the rest licking their wounds. I don't recall seeing anything like that in the past years. Gotta be one of the all-time disasters in that game.
as a tigers fan i can say taking pedroia today is a good pick and ive been watching the phillies games all year and werth has been very hot so hes a good pick but i dont know about ethier i dont watch or pay any attention to the dodgers. i just know hes been hitting very well
Schenk, thanks for the input. I am a twins fan so I dont pay much attention to the N.L. I like picking phillies cuz they have been pounding the ball all yr but like you, I dont pay any attention to the dodgers. I dont think they got any better in the off season. Just hard not to go with the hot hand. M. Cabrera has been a solid so far this year. Tough to pick any twins players as they usually crap the bed in the bronx. Looking forward to a very tight race all year in the A.L central. Should go down to the wire.
Hey guys, I have Ethier tonight but I'm not too sure. He's hitting awesome at night so I like him for tonight but willing to listen. I was thinking also either Helton, Cabrera, Werth or somebody completely different. Any suggestions or should I stick it out with Ethier?
Cruj, nice run! I'm envious of your success – it must been so amazingly awesome to be in double-digits! I dream of doing that…some day.
lets go mags. get me my 2nd 10 game streak this year.
Maybe it's me being a cubs fan, but I'm taking Byrd today. He's batting second,, he's facing a lefty and even though he's 1-9 (including 0-3 this year) against him, he's batting 450 against lefties this year and over .350 at home. He's still hot too.
Drag, Koske is not in the starting lineup, you might want to change.
Ive got nothing going after yesterday so im gonna go with Soriano this afternoon, PHI in survivor. Good luck to all.
Going with Pujols tonight against my better judgement — I just think he can't go hitless in 2 in a row
jagx, also a cubs fan here (and also in Cubs Rule group), I'd be more tempted to pick Theriot. Lefties pitch to his strength: opposite field singles. But Cubs don't hit well against Burress normally and I opted for a different game for my pick; hopefully Cubs get 20 hits today!
hey dragbunt104….I'd love to join your group but I need the password….email me at email@example.com.
Good luck today!
Frosty, you can join us all in the public group. Look for Bloggers under the group thing and join.
Vinny, I'm holding off on Ethier until tomorrow. Garland looks pretty tough of late (8 hits over his last three and 4 straight wins). In fact, I settled on Chase Headley of the Padres, although Ramon Ortiz is kind of an unknown factor.
Going with Ludwick in HRBTS.
i dont play the homerun streak game but ive never understood why if someone is going to take a player to hit a homerun then why not take him in the hit streak. if you think hes going to hit a homerun i just feel you should also then think he will extend your hit streak but thats just my opinion
forcook – The group is the bloggers and you should be able to join without password as it is a public group.
Schenk, I did that a few times and every time I did I lost my hitting streak because I picked the same person. I think it's the kiss of death of you choose the same player for both.
My error for some reason "The bloggers" group is set so that you have to be invited to join. Check your email as I invited you to join. Easy to do from there. If anyone else wants to join put your email address in a post and I will invite you to join.
"The Bloggers" Prize – There should be some kind of prize for the blogger who posts the longest streak of the year. Any ideas?
maybe the blogger with the high streak wins tickets to a game of his or her favorite team. the rest of the bloggers can pitch in some to get the tickets.
I picked Cabrera. Was thinking Austin Jackson but he's on a mini "slump" since he's hitting .316 over the last 7 days.
Not sure if Braun is playing today, so going with my 2nd favorite Brewer to pick, Casey McGehee, against soft-tossing Moyer.
Going with Pujols tonight against my better judgement — I just think he can't go hitless in 2 in a row
wow 16.7% on alex rios. thats a gutsy pick especially with the way the white sox offense has been this year
Going with Mauer….he tends to be a little streaky but matches up well against Burnett….although Yankee Stadium scares me…..Braun would have been my next pick…Watch Braun go 4-4 against Moyer.
Thanks for the invite dragbunt….is there anyway for the group to email each other?
Well if we all exchanged emails Frosty than yes that is possible. My email is email@example.com to start.
Congrats Cruj, I was running neck and neck with Cruj for a while, til I picked BTS deathman Derek Jeter to bust my 26 game streak. Mccutchen just extended me back to 9 games, Ill be back. I have a feeling Alex Rios will go hitless tonight with 17% taking him. Hey Cruj dont forget you still have a good shot at winning $10,000.
I was just looking at the leaderboard and I saw something quite strange. Dantesthunder made no selection with an 18 game steak going, hmmm what a waste.
if you scroll through the 1st few pages of the leaderbaord you will always seem to find a handful of no selections. ive never understood how you can go that many days in a row and then somehow forget to make a selection but i guess some people just dont have well functioning brains in their heads
I think they don't make a selection because they have them picked for 10 days and forget what day it is supposed to end and than don't make a selection and don't realize they have a long streak.
I forgot to mention that Jeter got hit with a pitch yesterday and his pinkie is hurting so I don't think he's going to start tonight to give him rest for one day but I'm not sure not. He's listed as Probable for this series with Minnesota.
true i never pick until the night before that way i can pick based off the way the players are playing at the moment cause a lot can change in 10 days. i do have my jumpstart pick available if anything goes wrong with my computer and i cant get on
Send me an invite to the group.
Email: \/ \/ \/
joseph you just need to search bloggers in the group directory its a public group. if you search the blogers it doesnt seem to come up but if you leave of the word "the" you will find it
Joe is in the group because I checked it and he is listed as being in the group.
NO INVITE is needed to join our group.
the bloggers doesnt work, but bloggers by itself does work. I have yet to figure that one out
I had McCutchen on Wed and he has an 0-fer v. Reds Homer Bailey who did pitch a great game. Today I watched the Cub game and McCutehen goes 5 for 5 with a walk.
I an snake bitten!
Come on Ichirio.
It's ok Drag. I can't seem to catch a break either but I'm hoping my fortunes turn over the next few days and OneHeartBeatAway what a pick with McCutchen.
6 game hit steak now !
Albert Pujols just hit a home runnnnnnnnn.
Only 51 more hit's in a row now till I win the $ 3 million.
mags with a single and i am at 10 games for the 2nd time this year. hopefully this time my streak will continue pass 10
If the rays, Orioles, and the Giants all lose tonight, then the current highest win streak for Survivor will be like only 8.
"MLB Survivor now officially has more active players without streaks than with streaks.

I don't recall seeing anything like that in the past years. Gotta be one of the all-time disasters in that game."
I don't get that, because 2 of my top 3 strongest analyzed games won yesterday?
But I do know that 89% of the field was eliminated either last summer or in 2008.
" I like picking phillies cuz they have been pounding the ball all yr"
Outside of Werth, most of the Phillies' bats are cold right now.
"i dont play the homerun streak game but ive never understood why if someone is going to take a player to hit a homerun then why not take him in the hit streak. if you think hes going to hit a homerun i just feel you should also then think he will extend your hit streak but thats just my opinion"
Because there is a completely different analysis going into one contest VS the other.
For example, a player could be 2 for 12 with 2 HR off the opposing pitcher career and that might be a good HR pick, but not a good hitting pick.
Also, people sometimes go with extreme HR types like Mark Reynolds who had 40+ HR last year, but just a .240 batting average.
but if you think someone will hit a homerun that means you think they will get a hit so you might as well then take the same person. thats just my opinion but since i dont play that game my opinion really means nothing
"true i never pick until the night before that way i can pick based off the way the players are playing at the moment cause a lot can change in 10 days. i do have my jumpstart pick available if anything goes wrong with my computer and i cant get on"
the jumpstart pick only works for streaks at 3 games or less though right?
I have yet to figure out why they restrict it to 3 games or less for?
"If the rays, Orioles, and the Giants all lose tonight, then the current highest win streak for Survivor will be like only 8."
Why would anyone put a long streak on the Orioles for? Don't they have the worst record in the majors?
"but if you think someone will hit a homerun that means you think they will get a hit so you might as well then take the same person. thats just my opinion but since i dont play that game my opinion really means nothing"
well, for example, the best hitting picks generally don't hit a lot of HR.
for example, Ichiro just hit his 1st HR of the season last night.
"the jumpstart pick only works for streaks at 3 games or less though right?
I have yet to figure out why they restrict it to 3 games or less for?"
No they restrict it to only working for up to 3 days that you missed making a selection. so if your streak was at 54 and you forgot to pick the next 3 days you would still have a chance to get to 57 if your jumpstart player got a hit those next 3 days. the length of your streak has no bearing on whether you can use a jumpstart pick or not
"but if you think someone will hit a homerun that means you think they will get a hit so you might as well then take the same person. thats just my opinion but since i dont play that game my opinion really means nothing"
"well, for example, the best hitting picks generally don't hit a lot of HR.for example, Ichiro just hit his 1st HR of the season last night."
I see your side of it but your still taking the person to hit a hr just because you think he will get a hit. you wouldnt take that player in hr beat the streak if you thought he would go hitless so you still think he will get a hit
I just hope that Cabrera gets another at bat in that game. 0-3 and my 4 game streak is on the line since I switched from Ethier.
I just didn't feel Mags since his average isn't that good and Cabrera was the hottest Tiger. I knew his hitting streak had to end eventually but I didn't think it would be tonight. I know I'm mad as I can't get back to 5 or even 10 but I'm hoping I can go on a nice long run with Ethier starting it off tomorrow.
vinny you took the wrong tiger today. mags was the best choice against buchholz
im not sure which player i want to take tomorrow. either braun or polanco. braun has the higher avg but polanco has been hot the last week and is hitting lefties very well this year
Alex Rios grounds out in 8th and this is probably his last AB.
KC leads ChiSox 6-1. MCabrera also has an 0-fer!
I can't get back on track for iiisshhh! Am I the only one that always goes really cold in this game after a streak of a week or two?
rip2thecompetition – Welcome to the club. I've iced over also – can not make a good decision. Hanging in there though as each day can be the 'new streak." Make a few crazy picks to break out of it. Cubs DLee would be a crazy pick today. He is batting about .225 but had a hit on Friday and faces a lefty today at Wrigley Field.
who does everyone have today. im still debating between polanco and braun
I like Marion Byrd of the Cubs – has 48 hits already and hits almost .500 vs. Lefties.
Avoiding Braun for now seems prudent until his elbow heals.
im settling on polanco. blanton has struggled in his 2 outings but i can see him having a good game today while narveson struggles against the hard hitting phillies offense
Going with Victorino in HRBTS although Soriano is tempting since his last HR came off Maholm, but they might pitch around him and Shane's been swinging a hotter bat.
Where have you gone Joe Dimaggio? Watching the Cub game and anouncers mentioned that today is the day 5/15
that Joe began his legendary 56 game hitting streak. Also mentioned that after he was held hitless in what would have been game 57, the next day he began a new 21 game hitting streak – so he hits in 78 our of 79 games.
Wind blowing in toward home plate today at Wrigley Field
it's a pitchers kind of day. HR will be few if any. Wind has already knocked down 3 potential HR's including one by Alphonso Soriano. Leader board is about as bare as the Mohave Desert.
there you go polanco 1st inning single and my streak is at 11
Damn, Ryan Braun is 0-3 so far.
Lol, Ryan Braun singles in the bottom of the 8th inning on the 10th pitch of a 3-2 count to end the day 1-4. The Giants also beat the Astros 2-1.
So I got a 7 game hit streak and a 2 game win streak now.
I'm feeling a thaw in the ice that is my unlucky streak.
—-DLee of Cubs, my crazy pick of the day on Sat., got a hit.
—-Ichirio got 2 hits v. my old nemisis, "Big Game" James of Rays.
I like Jayson Werth on Sunday in BTS and HR BTS.
I'm at wits end in Survivor!
Hey guys, I have Ethier to try to start my streak all over again and I have Teixeira tomorrow. He kills the Twins and Blackburn especially and I said May is the month he turns his season around and that is what he is doing.
Hope I didn't talk you out of Ethier yesterday, Vinny. Good luck with him tonight.
Sunday – Zimmerman and Teixeira look good
today was a great day for streakers. none of the top 15 picks went hitless. i cant remember the last time that happened
taking austin jackson tomorrow against lackey. jackson hasnt gone hitless 2 games in a row this season and is hitting .395 versus right handed pitchers
Tomfootball knows of which he writes. He began the season with a 17-game streak, a Levi Ghetto Cat record. He's up to eight with Byrd's hit today. But he gave me a loser in the Preakness Stakes and he's a Cardinals fan (and I a Reds), so we're currently not speaking. For you Super BTS Nerds who play the other games, the Reds are a One Foot in the Grave and the other on a Banana Peel Dead Solid Abner Doubleday Lock of a Lifetime to beat the holy living cow **** out of the Cardinals on Sunday.*
?Professor Pete
*bear in mind that I'm biased by hope and realize I just guaranteed the equivalent of the result of a coin flip. Also, please forgive my language, Ms. Manning
I had Phillies and Jayson Werth, but I changed it up to the Yankees and Mark Teixeira because I didn't want to wait for the 8 o clock game.
Hopefully it works out.
"today was a great day for streakers. none of the top 15 picks went hitless. i cant remember the last time that happened"
And yet I go 0 for 4 with Soriano, the only starting Cub to go 0 for.
I can see putting in that hour and a half is necessary, rather than just glancing at the probables.
Went with Ike Davis today.
Cub Report – wind again blowing in over the right field wall toward home plate. Fly balls will be knock down. Choose another game for HR BTS. champion_88 – stay away from Alfonso Soriano – his is "freaky streaky" and you never know what he will do. Professor Pete – I'm NOT taking the Reds today to give them a chance to win in Survivor.
Actually ngedc you did talk me out of Ethier on Friday. I picked Cabrera and he ended my streak on Friday. I wonder why Ethier didn't play as I checked the starting lineup before the game and he was batting third. Than when the game started he wasn't playing. Something must of happened to him to be taken out of the lineup. Very odd. I have Tex today to restart my streak again and Pujols in HR BTS but may change that and I have the Phillies in Survivor today.
Going with Polanco today vs. the good hit, no pitch Brewers and should do the same today. Look for 5 ABs for Placido today so like his chances.
The Reds- Cards has been a thriller with two great finishes. Saw both, thanks to the local cable which shows most Cardinal games.
vinny i was watching espn last night and they reported that ethier broken one of his fingers during batting practice. the dodgers arent sure how long he will be out but just stay away from him for awhile cause he wont be playing and when he comes back he will probably be rusty
going with hanley ramirez today what do u think?
I found out after I posted Schenk but thank you anyway. Schenk who do you have today in BTS? I have Teixeira like I said and I'm sticking with him but just curious to see who you have. I can't believe Ethier broke a pinkie during BP. I had him against Garland later this week but switched him to Kinsler.
Mark Teixeira just got a hit in the 3rd and the Yankees are winning at the moment.
FYI: I was wondering how one gets a handle/nickname so that your email address doesn't show up when you post (potential spam scenarios). Well, by accident I figured it out.
Open GameDay or At Bat, jump to bottom of window and find Support Forum link, click on it, provide a nickname when prompted. Now that will be used in your BTS, Survivor, HR streak games and here on the blog. You will now see my nickname of LaVolpe below vs. my complete email address.
I'm at 8 hits now since Tex just got a hit.
Hopefully the Yankees win, too.
There on TBS.
ive got austin jackson. he hasnt gone hitless 2 days in a row this year and has hit well in day games. also lackey has settled down a bit but the hit totals hes allowing is still high. texiera is a good pick with how hot hes been this month. im also taking the tigers to beat the redsox in survivor. i know that pick itnt anywhere near a lock but galarraga has been pitching well in AAA and i see that continuing today and after the way last nights game ended i can see boston coming out with no energy
vinny your not alone with teixiera today. goodluck with your pick
vinny your not alone with teixiera today. goodluck with your pick. well jackson isnt in the starting lineup for the tigers. now i have to pray i dont see him come in at all
Thanks man. I hope he doesn't pinch hit either for you. I like Tex and he made an out in his first AB but he will come through.
he should blackburn will throw a good game but he will give up 7 or so hits during his few innings you got plenty of innings left. this is the 3rd time during my current streak where a player i took isnt playing. the last 2 times the game was rained out
Well Tex just hit a single so I'm back up to 1 and hopefully it goes for the next month or so. Going to stick with my current picks no matter what unless I know somebody is injured.
thats what i try to do. im a tigers fan so i take tiger players as much as i can. i didnt read anything saying jackson would sit today which kinda frustrates me. usually leyland lets the media know who will be in the lineup right after the prior days game
tigers up 5-1. i think that keeps me safe from seeing a austin jackson pinch hit at bat. im hoping i dont want to see my 11 game streak end that way
the mccutchinator extends my streak to 11. Quite a bit of people on the front page taking a phillies hitter tonight. I have a feeling the phillies will get no hit tonight. I felt the alex rios bomb coming when 17% picked him. Never put a streak over 5 games in the hands of Alex Rios. I joined the bloggers group last night, they reset my streak to 0 on there so im guessing my current streak and longest streak doesnt carry over. So whats the winner of the bloggers group get, may I suggest a giant lego chewbacca.
my 11 game streak may come to an end. jackson came in to replace damon. he will be up 5th in the 8th inning so im praying for a 1 2 3 inning by the tigers batters
Damn, Yankees lost. Back to 0 wins.
luckily the tigers went down 123 and jackson did not come up to bat. on to tomorrow with my streak still alive. looking at miggy or billy butler
oneheartbeataway – When you join a group you start out at zero for that group. Your streaks continue in the regualr BTS game. Pitching change tonight for Milwaukee it is now Bush as Davis has a heart problem. He give up alot of hits so I'm hoping that Werth come up with a hit.
Vinny – Who looks good on Monday?
drag/vinny – thinking about Miguel Cabrera for tomorrow – what do you think?
Nard/Drag, I have Jeter for tomorrow as he is hitting .379 at home and he hits Dice-K at a .429 clip. One of the problems I see is that Dice-K is very inconsistent. Will he have a good game tomorrow or a very bad game tomorrow? Another problem I see is that Jeter is hitting .180 over the last 7 days so I'm still trying to see who to pick. Cabrera could be a good pick but I lost a streak with him on Friday so I'm staying away.
I will say that Ichiro is hitting Oakland at a .179 clip for the year so I would stay away from him and he is also hitting lefties at .214 and a leftie is pitching for the A's tomorrow so use him at your own risk.
going with scott podsednik tomorrow. no real reasons behind it except that hes hitting well and bergesen is giving up a ton of hits this year. watch the forecasts. it looks like rain can be a factor in a few of the games tomorrow

XX Front Derailleur
The SRAM XX Low Clamp Front Derailleur is not a triple chainring front derailleur. It's not a compact double front derailleur. It is its own thing.
And while it's designed to handle up to a 15-tooth differential between the big and little rings, its cage is shorter and narrower than a triple-specific front derailleur. This is great news for those who fear clearance between their rear suspension and their front derailleur. The aluminum links that shape the travel of the cage are extremely wide, increasing the distance between the pivots, for greater stiffness. The increase in stiffness plays to XX's superior gear-changing ability. The derailleur cage itself is made from steel for maximum durability.
SRAM claims the XX front derailleur will work on just about any bike. That's because they have both high and low clamp versions in four sizes each and four different direct mount versions (and there are three different clamps for each chain ring configuration within the direct mount line). Here's a PDF chart so you can determine exactly what you need. In addition, both the high- and low-clamp versions use a thin, flexible steel band clamp that holds quite well at relatively low clamping pressure -- a safe recipe for carbon fiber frames.
The SRAM XX Low Clamp Front Derailleur is available configured as either top or bottom pull. The 34.9 clamp size is adjustable and, with an included shim kit, can be used with frames that require a 31.8mm clamp.

Earlier this year, when Steve Carell first made mention of leaving "The Office" after next year, I said the show could survive and perhaps thrive without his lead character, Michael Scott. This was because Scott had become so stupid, so socially stunted, and so comically inept that any semblance of realness to his character (on a show that thrives on realistic interaction between people) was all but gone. For a while now, the comedic heart of this show has been Rainn Wilson's Dwight Schrute. And now executive producer Mindy Kaling (who plays Kelly) tells Entertainment Weekly that she hopes Schrute takes Scott's job on the show.
"I'd love to see Rainn Wilson in that position… Dwight has become so nuanced — you actually care about him now. I think if we did a good job laying the groundwork this coming season, he would be a fantastic boss.
"But that's my dream," she adds. "It certainly hasn't been approved by people that are more powerful than me and who make those kinds of decisions."
Chances are, NBC won't let Carell leave the show without trying to replace him spiritually with another notable actor, one who would make a splash and give the show some added attention and curiosity. But Kaling is right. "The Office" has a long history of taking seemingly bit players and growing them into fully fleshed out people (Creed being one of the best examples). Schrute's character has evolved on the show, from a repellent slimebag to an oddly lovable nutjob. The show, frankly, has suffered when Wilson hasn't been on screen, so it makes sense to promote him to the lead role and get him in front of the camera more often.
What may happen is a solution that splits the difference, adding a new character but also expanding Wilson's role on the show. Whether or not that works remains to be seen, but "The Office" has been long overdue for a breath of fresh air, and Dwight Schrute as boss provides that in spades.
