Signaling a continued effort by Amazon Web Services to make its cloud more appealing to enterprise users, the company has announced a partnership with storage provider NetApp that will allow customers to have a consistent storage array powered by NetApp on both their own premises and in Amazon's cloud.

AT RE: INVENT: 5 things to watch for at Amazon cloud conference
The partnership marks the first major storage vendor that Amazon has a partnership with, according to NetApp officials. "Enterprises love the cost and agility of the public cloud, but there are certain challenges holding people back from taking advantage of the public cloud as much as they can be," says Tom Shields, product marketing with NetApp. "Whether there is a perceived or real risk around data availability, security and compliance, people want to be able to run business critical apps in the cloud, but the performance of storage just hasn't been up to the task."
NetApp announced the news at AWS's user conference in Las Vegas, in conjunction with Amazon. Shields says the system can be architected in a variety of ways, but one of the most common he expects will be to have a common NetApp storage component that is controlled by the customer residing either in their data center or in a collocation facility, as well as having a second NetApp storage array hosted in Amazon's cloud. They can then be constantly mirrored to ensure they are both consistent, or the common architecture across both sites could allow data to migrate easily from one site to the other as resources are needed.
Shields says he envisions this being used most heavily for legacy applications that enterprises may want to expose to Amazon cloud resources to be able to scale, but they still want to be housed within NetApp storage arrays. Many NetApp customers run Oracle and SAP software in NetApp, for example. Amazon does offer SAP software as a hosted solution, but Shields says some enterprises still want to keep a copy, or even have the master copy of such programs on their own premises.
NetApp plans to distribute the new architecture through its channel of value-added resellers (VAR), such as Abnet, an integration company that works with Netapp, Amazon and Equinix, in case a customer wants to use collocation services.
The move marks the latest appeal by AWS to enterprise customers, which Vice President of Marketing for AWS Adam Selipsky says has been a concerted effort for the company in the past year. "Enterprises have been a focus for us for several years," he says. "Enterprise adoption has accelerated rapidly and enterprises are a significant portion of AWS adoption."
He points to other recent announcements, like the Redshift news, as well as announcement about Glacier - a long-term storage service - as being other indications that AWS is focusing on enterprise-class services.

| 11.5°C Belfast
Bran, Sandor and Khaleesi may not be commonly heard in the classroom yet, but they are all names of characters from hit TV series Game Of Thrones given to babies last year.
Figures released today show that while Oliver and Amelia were the overall most common names given to babies born in England and Wales in 2013, parents are increasingly taking inspiration from fantasy films such as Twilight and Thor.
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), there were 187 baby girls named Arya last year - the same number as called Josephine, while there were 50 Khaleesis - the same that were named Peggy.
There were also seven boys called Bran - as were named Brad, while there were three Sandors - the same amount of boys that were given the name Malcolm last year.
The name Khaleesis is sure to have been inspired by the beautiful and powerful Daenerys Targaryen in Game Of Thrones. She is also known as Khaleesi - the title given to the wife of the leader of a nomadic people known as a khalasar.
Boys named Sandor could have been named after the fictional land of Westeros' most famous warriors - Sandor Clegane. He is nicknamed the Hound after his family crest which features three dogs and his brutal nature.
And those named Bran could have been named after Brandon Stark, a crippled young boy known for his ability as a "warg" - where the youngster can enter the mind of an animal and control its actions.
However, according to the ONS figures, there were no children named after other characters such as the evil Joffrey, Eddard, or Samwell.
While the Royal Family appears to have influenced parents with sons, with William, Harry and George all in the top 10 most popular names, it does not seem to have made such an impact on those with daughters, with 147 girls named Kate and just four named Eugenie - fewer than some of the Games of Thrones characters.
Mia, the name given to Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall's baby, is the 10th most popular name although as she was only born at the beginning of this year she will not have had any effect on last year's figures.
The ONS also said the full impact of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge naming the future king George might not be seen yet as he was only born midway through 2013.
Siobhan Freegard, founder of parenting site Netmums, said unusual fictional characters' names were often chosen by parents in the hope they will make their child stand out.
She added: "But on the other hand, fantasy names inspired by shows like Game of Thrones and the Twilight series are beginning to go mainstream, with babies being named after Bellatrix from Harry Potter, Renesmee from Twilight along with Tyrion and Theon from Game of Thrones.
"For parents who want something different but find fantasy names too extreme, the top option is digging deeper into the past with old names including Ronnie, Seth, Elsie and Eliza all gaining ground, following the trend set over the last few years with names including Alfie and Eleanor."
Other films and series to have had an influence include cult series Breaking Bad, which appears to have led to an increase in the number of girls named Skyler (72) while there were 58 boys called Walter.
And Harry Potter also seems to continue to inspire choices, with three girls named Bellatrix in 2013.
Celebrities such as Victoria and David Beckham remain big influences, with Harper - the name they gave their daughter in 2011 - more popular last year than ever before. More than 300 girls were given the name.
The ONS lists feature variations on spellings, so monikers such as Muhammad (15th most popular), Mohammed (23) and Mohammad (57) all appear in the top 100, but if the three were added together then the total number would be 7,445 making it the most popular boys name overall.
Likewise both Molly (35) and Mollie (71) are included.
Amelia has been in the top spot since 2011, while Oliver replaced Harry as the favourite in both 2011 and 2012.
Oscar and George replaced Alfie and Riley in the top 10 most popular boys' names, while Poppy took the place of Lily in the top 10 girls' names.
There were three new entries in the top 100 most popular girls' names in 2013.
Victoria at number 88 (up 18 places from 106), Darcy at number 93 (up 14 places from 107), and Beatrice at 95 (up 19 places from 114).
Elsie showed the largest rise within the top 100 for the second year running, gaining 23 places to number 47, while Ivy, Violet, Willow, Sofia and Mollie were also high climbers.
Hollie, Paige, Madison, Heidi and Amy showed the largest falls.
There were six new entries in the 100 most popular boys' names in 2013.
These were Teddy at number 86 (up 55 places from 141), Ibrahim at 89 (up 18 places from 107), and Ronnie in 90th place (up 15 places from 105).
Felix was 91st (up 23 places from 114), Austin was 94th (up 14 places from 108), and Albert was 99th (up 10 places from 109).
Theodore showed the largest rise within the top 100, gaining 19 places to reach number 78 while Reuben, Hugo, Elijah, Oscar and Blake were also high climbers.
Callum, Liam, Tyler, Cameron and Riley showed the largest falls within the top 100.

The race to zero
1. Introduction
Stock prices can go down as well as up. Never in financial history has this adage been more apt than on 6 May 2010. Then, the so-called "Flash Crash" sent shocks waves through global equity markets. The Dow Jones experienced its largest ever intraday point fall, losing $1 trillion of market value in the space of half an hour. History is full of such fat-tailed falls in stocks. Was this just another to add to the list, perhaps compressed into a smaller time window?
No. This one was different. For a time, equity prices of some of the world's biggest companies were in freefall. They appeared to be in a race to zero. Peak to trough, Accenture shares fell by over 99%, from $40 to $0.01. At precisely the same time, shares in Sotheby's rose three thousand-fold, from $34 to $99,999.99. These tails were not just fatter and faster. They wagged up as well as down.
The Flash Crash left market participants, regulators and academics agog. More than one year on, they remain agog. There has been no shortage of potential explanations. These are as varied as they are many: from fat fingers to fat tails; from block trades to blocked lines; from high-speed traders to low-level abuse. From this mixed bag, only one clear explanation emerges: that there is no clear explanation. To a first approximation, we remain unsure quite what caused the Flash Crash or whether it could recur.
That conclusion sits uneasily on the shoulders. Asset markets rely on accurate pricing of risk. And financial regulation relies on an accurate reading of markets. Whether trading assets or regulating exchanges, ignorance is rarely bliss. It is this uncertainty, rather than the Flash Crash itself, which makes this an issue of potential systemic importance.
In many respects, this uncertainty should come as no surprise. Driven by a potent cocktail of technology and regulation, trading in financial markets has evolved dramatically during the course of this century. Platforms for trading equities have proliferated and fragmented. And the speed limit for trading has gone through the roof. Technologists now believe the sky is the limit.
This rapidly-changing topology of trading raises some big questions for risk management. There are good reasons, theoretically and empirically, to believe that while this evolution in trading may have brought benefits such as a reduction in transaction costs, it may also have increased abnormalities in the distribution of risk and return in the financial system. Such abnormalities hallmarked the Flash Crash. This paper considers some of the evidence on these abnormalities and their impact on systemic risk.
Regulation has thin-sliced trading. And technology has thin-sliced time. Among traders, as among stocks on 6 May, there is a race to zero. Yet it is unclear that this race will have a winner. If it raises systemic risk, it is possible capital markets could be the loser. To avoid that, a redesign of mechanisms for securing capital market stability may be needed.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
I had a great spot for Tim McGraw's private show Wednesday night (Oct. 31) in downtown Nashville. As in, I set my drink down by his mic stand. So I think it's safe to say that I soaked up as much of his new music — and plenty of vintage material — standing that close for more than an hour.
McGraw was there to showcase the new music from his upcoming album, Two Lanes of Freedom, due out in February. But he devoted about half the show to the hits everyone already knew by heart. "For a Little While" from all the way back in 1998, "How Bad Do You Want It," plus "Illegal," "Everybody Hates Me," "Felt Good on My Lips" and even "Something Like That."
And when he started in on his 2002 hit "Red Rag Top," he stopped for a couple of minutes to explain why he went ahead and made that song even though he knew it might not be welcomed with open arms.
"Every now and then, you run across songs that you know are not gonna be No. 1 records," he said. "You know they're not gonna be something that everybody plays. You know they're not gonna be something that everybody gravitates to. But you know the song's gonna touch people and you know the song's gonna have meaning. You know that no matter what your station is in life and what you believe in life, you can relate to hardships and indecision and frustration."
Most of his new tunes, like the title track and his next single "One of Those Nights" seem destined to eventually climb the charts rapidly. As will "Book of John" and "Mexicoma." But the new one he did that he said he really loved — and I couldn't agree more — was "Nashville Without You." Crediting heroes like George Jones and Willie Nelson, the hook is "Nashville wouldn't be Nashville without you." It's just so country.
McGraw brought R&B singer Ne-Yo to the stage for a couple of songs, too, for "Only Human" and "She Is." Their vocals complemented each other well. But be he ever so humble, McGraw thought Ne-Yo was the better of the two singers. "I'd give my left nut to be able to sing like that," he said.

Libya says it should be allowed to try spy chief
Libya has formally applied to the International Criminal Court to be allowed to put Moammar Gadhafi's former spy chief on trial in Tripoli instead of sending him to The Hague to face justice, according to documents published Wednesday.
In a lengthy written submission, lawyers representing Libya argued that Abdullah al-Senoussi's home country is willing and able to prosecute him and therefore has precedence over the world's first permanent war crimes tribunal.
The International Criminal Court indicted Al-Senoussi in June 2011 for crimes against humanity allegedly committed during the Gadhafi regime's brutal attempts to put down the rebellion that ousted the dictator after four decades in power.
Al-Senoussi is jailed in Libya. His lawyers argue he will not get a fair trial at home and should be sent to The Hague.
His case runs parallel to that of one of Gadhafi's sons, Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, who also was indicted by the International Criminal Court in 2011 but is being held in Libya amid legal wrangling over the trial venue.
Under its founding treaty, the Rome Statute, the Hague-based war crimes tribunal is a court of last resort, meaning it can step in to prosecute suspects only when the home country refuses or is unable to do so.
Libya's 97-page motion argues that Al-Senoussi is being investigated at home for crimes including alleged offenses he is indicted for in The Hague and that Tripoli wants to try him "as part of its program of building a new and democratic Libya" governed by the rule of law.
"To deny the Libyan people this historic opportunity to eradicate the long-standing culture of impunity would be inconsistent with the object and purpose of the Rome Statute, including its deference to national judicial systems," the lawyers wrote as they asked judges to declare Al-Senoussi's case inadmissible at the International Criminal Court and to quash a court order for Libya to surrender him to The Hague.
However lawyers for both Seif al-Islam and Al-Senoussi have warned the International Criminal Court that the men are unlikely to receive a fair trial in Libya and should therefore be sent to The Hague.
Al-Senoussi's British lawyer Ben Emmerson argued earlier this year that a trial for his client in Libya would "inevitably constitute a flagrant denial of justice, and may result in the imposition and carrying into effect of the death penalty."
Libya countered in its written filing, saying the government in Tripoli, "has no intention of compromising its commitment to the rule of law by holding a rushed trial that does not meet international minimum standards of due process."
The United Nations Security Council gave the International Criminal Court a mandate to investigate in Libya in 2011 following the government's deadly crackdown on protesters. Prosecutors swiftly indicted Gadhafi, Seif al-Islam and Al-Senoussi on charges of murder and persecution for allegedly targeting civilians.
The charges against Gadhafi were dropped after he was captured and killed by rebels as his regime was toppled.

« Breaching the Church-State Wall in Education | Main | The Sunk-Cost Effect on Standardized Testing »
Why Students Become Disengaged
If we are serious about producing lifelong learners, affective outcomes warrant far more consideration than they are given in today's reform movement. These outcomes, which David T. Conley calls "metacognitive learning skills," constitute a higher form of thinking than we recognize ("Rethinking the Notion of 'Noncognitive,' " Education Week, Jan. 22).
One manifestation is student engagement. According to a Gallup poll, engagement diminishes steadily and dramatically each year that students stay in school. Specifically, 76 percent of students are engaged in elementary school. But the percentage drops to 44 percent by the time they reach high school (" 'Anybody? Anybody?' What Ferris Bueller Got Right," The Atlantic, Jan.).
What causes this paradox? Although the conversion of classrooms into test preparation factories is certainly one of the reasons, the drop off preceded the trend. I see the failure largely as the result of ignoring changes in students as they develop physically and psychologically. Leon Botstein, the president of Bard College, has said that the American high school is obsolete ("Let Teen-Agers Try Adulthood," The New York Times, May 17, 1999). He correctly noted that young people mature much earlier than they did when the high school was invented. They are exposed to information and images via the Internet that make so much of what is taught in school seem irrelevant. It's little wonder that they're bored.
But when teachers try to design lessons more in line with the needs and interests of their students, they often find themselves stymied by district policies that prevent them from doing so. I've written before about what happens when censorship is imposed by principals. Their efforts to shield students from the realities of life almost always backfire, leaving students even more disengaged than before. I'm not saying that boring teachers don't exist. They do. They can take the most exciting material and make it humdrum. What they do amounts to reverse alchemy. But they constitute a small percentage of teachers. Most teachers want to make their classes inviting. It's just that their hands are tied. Let's not forget that the courts have ruled that teachers are first and foremost employees who must follow the curriculum.
Frustrated by the constraints, some teachers are switching to charter schools, which are free from most of the rules and regulations affecting traditional schools. It will be interesting to see if a future Gallup poll finds greater student engagement in charter schools. If so, it could provide compelling evidence for far-reaching changes in traditional schools.

LONGMONT, CO — Craft beer in-a-can pioneers Oskar Blues Brewery and SKA Brewing have come together to create a CANlaboration beer to celebrate the 10 Year CANiversary of Dale's Pale Ale. The Smoked IPA, "oSKAr the G'Rauch", is the first official brewing collaboration between the two breweries that share much of the same Colorado lifestyle. Hell, you can't spell Oskar without Ska.
The two brewers are ColoRADo kindred spirits of sorts, both hailing from inspiring mountain towns that shape their quality of life while doing things their own deranged way. Oskar Blues became the first American craft brewer to brew and can their beer with Dale's Pale Ale in November of 2002 and SKA Brewing moved to can their ESB Special Ale a few months later. The two breweries have been leaders of the canned beer movement ever since. They have ridden the five-day "Tour of Bouldurango" charity bike ride from Boulder, CO to Durango, Co that was organized by Adam Avery. A few years ago Ska purchased Oskar Blues' canning line and the Oskar Blues crew delivered it through a snow storm to help install the machine and turned the adventure into a week-long ski vacation.
"We talked about doing a special beer for our CANiversary and we instantly knew we wanted to brew it with the Ska crew. We're always looking for a reason to get together with those guys." said Oskar Blues beer traffic control freak Jeremy Rudolf.
"We couldn't be more humbled, brewing this beer with the fantastic brewers and our great friends at Oskar Blues. Ten years ago OB took a great leap of faith with their decision to put Dale's Pale Ale in cans, and we followed suit just months later, and have successfully ridden their coattails for the entire last decade." said Ska's Dave Thibodeau.
About the beerÔǪWhat did oSKAr the G'Rauch say to the face? Slap! Aromas of freshly-peeled orange and apricots with a touch ofÔǪÔǪ..smoke? Juicy citrus and fruit flavors dominate but don't overpower the slightly sweet malt structure. Finish is all citrus rind ping-ponging with some smoky phenols. 8.5% ABV. MANY IBU.
19.2 oz. cans of the Smoked IPA will debut at the 10th CANiversary party at Oskar Blues Grill & Brew in Lyons, CO Saturday, November 17th. The celebration will feature FREE LIVE MUSIC (6pm to 9pm) by "Erik The Viking" and "Interstate Stash Express" before a SOLD OUT show by Los Angeles's "The White Buffalo" at 9:30pm to 1am. Get all the details about the Dale's Pale Ale 10 Year CANiversary on November 12th, 2012. https://www.facebook.com/
Limited quantities of "oSKAr the G'Rauch" will be available in 19.2 oz. Single-Serve Cans and 16oz. 4-packs at the Oskar Blues Tasty Weasel Taproom and Oskar Blues locations while supplies last.
About Oskar Blues Brewery:
Founded by Dale Katechis in 1997 as a brewpub and grill, Oskar Blues Brewery launched their craft-brewed hand canning operations in 2002 in Lyons, Colo. They were the first American craft brewery to can their beer. Today more than 180 craft breweries are canning their beers. The original crew used a hand-canning line on a tabletop machine that sealed one can at a time. Oskar Blues Brewery in Longmont packaged 41,000 barrels in 2010, grew to 59,000 in 2011 and is on pace for 90,000 in 2012. While celebrating 10 years of Dale's Pale Ale the brewery has announced it will begin brewing beer in their new Brevard, NC brewery in December 2012. Visit www.oskarblues.com, http://www.facebook.com/
About Ska Brewing:
Based in Durango, Colorado, Ska Brewing was founded in 1995 and now produces over a dozen award-winning beers including the Pinstripe Red Ale, True Blonde Ale and Steel Toe Stout. Four Ska beers are now widely available in cans: ESB Special Ale, True Blonde, Modus Hoperandi IPA and the winter seasonal Euphoria Pale Ale.

Wise to the Word column
(ah pear uh TEEF)
An apéritif is a small, light alcoholic drink served to spark the appetite before lunch or dinner. The word is from the Latin verb "aperire," which means "to open."
Popular apéritifs include champagne, liqueurs, Pernod, vermouth, and sherry or other fortified wines. In Italy, the signature apéritif is the herbal-based Campari, often served with soda; in France, it is Dubonnet or Lillet, both wine-based.
Most agree an apéritif should be slighlty astringent, never sweet. And it should not contain a lot of alcohol, which can dull the taste buds.

A group of physicians and human rights activist claim that the United States government used shoddy and intentionally biased science in order to downgrade what was considered torture to "enhanced interrogation techniques."
According to the group, much of the research cited in okaying these "EITs" came from training that was used to prepare soldiers to have these same techniques being used on them if they were captured. Also, the training was based on situations where the soldiers would be subjected to the techniques only for very limited time periods, in a reduced manner, had given their consent, and were able to stop their participation at any time. No attention was given to the long term psychological impact of extended interrogation.
They also point the blame at doctors complicit in the situation, for not recognizing the reality that the detainees in their care were being tortured, regardless of what the military might say — a view reinforced by the examination of detainees according to international standards for the medical documentation of torture, which showed clear evidence of abuse.

Yannick Ilunga doesn't dice words when he outlines the message woven through his debut album: "STAY POSITIVE." Yannick is half-Congolese, half-Angolan and was raised in South Africa. The 24-year-old artist known as Petite Noir still lives part-time in Cape Town, close to his family and his spiritual roots and that culture is immediately evident as it bleeds through his music. La Vie Est Belle / Life Is Beautiful, named after an uplifting 1987 Congolese film, is both a beacon and a vessel of inspiration, offering empowerment to those who need it. "Everyone goes through difficult experiences. I'm not the only one," Ilunga begins. "It's about you when you listen to the album, not me. What are you going through? Then it tells you, 'It's going to be OK.'"
Though Petite Noir's musical background ranges from guitar metal to nu-disco, he has since developed into a confident, future-facing singer and songwriter with a wide palette. He discovered the work of Kanye West around the age of 16, and it quite literally changed his life, showing him the importance of breaking musical boundaries. You can hear that fearlessness: The King of Anxiety blended raw post-punk energy with sunny African rhythms and nuanced R&B touches in early 2015, and now La Vie Est Belle / Life Is Beautiful takes that sound to louder, more defiant places. The reasons are self-evident, it seems. "That's exactly how I am feeling at the moment," Ilunga points out. "A lot of things have to be said!" But even as explosive pop songs like "Best" and "Just Breathe" delve into depths of frustration and discontent, they're underpinned with a restless joy. The combination is at once exhilarating and reassuring.
La Vie Est Belle / Life Is Beautiful represents the first full expression of what Ilunga calls "Noirwave," which is more of a concept than a specific sound. Inspired by innovators like Mos Def and legends Fela Kuti and Tabu Ley, Noirwave encompasses a "new African aesthetic," plain and simple. "I think for me, it's just the story their music tells and the sense of freedom," he says of his influences. "I can hear the freedom in the music, the mental freedom." All of which is key to what Petite Noir accomplishes on this, his debut album, expressed with incisive sincerity on "Freedom." Over gnarled bass synths and a moody dance beat, Ilunga sings in his full-bodied falsetto, "Freedom comes at an expense / Freedom comes when you least expect it."
This is Petite Noir's message to the oppressed, and he reflects the ideals with stylistic dexterity, too. Like Congolese-Belgian vocalist Baloji appearing in the album's slinky, slow-grooving title track to deliver a rap in French; whether you understand the words or not, his lines feel evocative and rousing, and flow seamlessly with Ilunga's soft-spoken croon. It's followed by the bubbly, harmonized "MDR", a rare love song amongst the unrest Petite Noir tackles head on throughout La Vie Est Belle / Life Is Beautiful. And the launch track, "Down", ties together funky basslines with piano, synth, and high-stepping drums for a late-album anthem. With footage filmed around the streets of Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo, "Down" blends unrehearsed imagery and joyful sounds to paint a contemporary portrait of Petite Noir's Congolese background and his hopes for the country's future.
Diverse as it all sounds, Noirwave's declaration of "mental freedom" connects the dots with raw emotion and tenacity. "I'm still very spiritual," Ilunga concedes. "I feel like I have progressed spiritually, but the more I grow, the harder things become." He sums up the album however by saying "It's about seeing the positive in dark times. Seeing God". His candor is testament to the honesty this album was written with, which fortifies its 10 charismatic tracks with a complex personality. La Vie Est Belle / Life Is Beautiful isn't just a positive message wrapped in a new African aesthetic, it's a piece of Petite Noir's life.

HIPS (Support material)
Temperature Celsius Min Max Extruder 220 240 Build Platform 100 120
HIPS, or High-Impact Polystyrene, is a petrochemical synthetic polymer. PS is often found in our everyday lives as styrofoam containers and yogurt containers, to name a few. HIPS has undergone a process to make it more rigid, and can hold its own as the main structural element in a print. However, because it is very easily dissolved in limonene (a household chemical), it is mostly used to print out structural supports on objects with complex geometries so that they can be removed easily. It is non-toxic, but non-biodegradable. Print in a well ventilated environment.
Filament weight: 1000g (1kg)

Penguin Books, 1992 - Fiction - 256 pages
This fascinating book contains probably the most expert stories of espionage ever written. For a period of time after it was first published, the book became official required reading for persons entering the British Secret Service.
During World War I, Maugham enlisted with an ambulance unit, but was soon shifted to the Intelligence Department. Although these stories were based on the author's own experiences as a British agent during the war, he emphasized that they were written purely as entertainment, at which, indeed, Ashenden succeeds. Maugham's clarity of style, the perfection of his form, the subtlety of his thought, veiled thinly behind a worldly cynicism, has made him an international figure.

In eighth grade I wrote a poem about Jose Reyes, the Miami Marlins' new shortstop. The poem wasn't so good. I wrote it in Reyes's gregarious broken English, in which every third utterance is "you know" or "man." But I had to write something quickly for a class, and in April 2005, nothing captivated me quite like the Mets and their dynamo, the sinewy kid who hit ropes and slung bullets from his ear.
2005 was the first year I followed a good Mets team, and it was the first year Reyes crossed over from the hypothetical into the real. He had gotten hurt in 2003 and 2004, his age-20 and age-21 seasons, and the team had sucked both years. He sprained his ankle. They moved him to second base for Kaz Matsui. He hurt his hamstrings. They sent him to a running guru named Mackey Shilstone who was supposed to charm his hamstrings. The guru made him run like a toy robot with overloaded circuits. But in 2005 Reyes played in 161 games and led the National League in plate appearances. He didn't walk but he stole 60 bases and hit 17 triples. He ran like he wanted to and stayed healthy.
We can't think about Reyes too long, though, without also pondering David Wright, who remains on the Mets. Wright was the player Mets fans were supposed to love. He would be Piazza's heir and Derek Jeter's, too—a high-average righty who would drive the ball to the opposite field, a handsome, homegrown franchise face who would own New York for the next decade. He was the star most teams dream about, polished (save a few fielding hiccups) from the moment he was called up. Reyes, who was a little younger and couldn't walk or hit anything offspeed, would be the second coming of Rafael Furcal, a nice second fiddle on the Yankee-like club the Wilpons would build in Queens. They hired Willie Randolph, who had wanted to manage the Yankees, and Carlos Beltran, who had wanted to play for the Yankees. This all made enough sense in 2005.
That year was also David Wright's first full season, and he played much better than Reyes did. He finished fourth in the NL in offensive WAR, between Derrek Lee (who chased a Triple Crown that year) and Miguel Cabrera. While Reyes was a fawn, his game still rough and full of untapped potential, Wright looked like a franchise cornerstone. Today, the poles have flipped. Reyes is a well-compensated Marlin, and Wright is, improbably, the project he never was, even as a call-up. In the good years, Mets fans had the luxury of choosing between the two. Whom you chose said a lot about what you wanted most out of a baseball team—reliability or lightning. Now? Mets fans have neither.
* * *
Reyes got really good in 2006, and so did the Mets. He hit 17 triples again in 2006, and stole 64 bases instead of 60. He also hit 19 homers, instead of 7, and walked 53 times, instead of 27, and scored 122 runs, instead of 99. He made the All-Star team. He finished seventh in MVP voting. This was about the time the media started damning Reyes with selective praise, stumbling over themselves to call him baseball's most exciting player while simultaneously anointing Jimmy Rollins and Hanley Ramirez as the superior shortstops. Those voices were wrong, of course: Reyes had a better WAR than Hanley and Rollins in 2006, and he was really fucking fun to watch while doing it.
They were confused because Reyes came to the majors a raw, unfinished product with injury problems, and everything they had watched beforehand suggested he would remain that way. Few phenoms appear so flawed. David Wright hadn't. But Reyes arrived on the Mets at 19 years old with barely any time in AAA. It makes sense that he got better.
During the 2006 season, watching a now-blossomed Reyes, some of us learned that we could root for the Mets as outlaws. The team didn't need to look like the Yankees. They were better than the Yankees. Actually, both teams went 97-65 that year, and they split the Subway Series. Nonetheless.
Those outlaw Mets didn't necessarily need David Wright. We had Carlos Delgado, the man who wouldn't doff his cap for "God Bless America," and Paul Lo Duca, the gambler who was sleeping with a 19-year-old. We had Pedro, and El Duque, crotchety elders who finished first and second on the staff in hit by pitches despite neither throwing a full season. And we had Reyes, whose elaborate high-fives irritated the rest of the league. (We can't know whether opponents and media types who complained about the Mets' celebrations were really complaining about the team's Latinness, but I took all of the complaints that way, because fuck them.)
And although Wright looked like he was supposed to play for some patrician iteration of the Mets that never showed up, he raked anyway in 2006. During one week in August, the Mets extended both Reyes and Wright. Wright's deal was longer, which made sense at the time. Then came the collapses of 2007 and 2008, and rooting for outlaws became tiresome, as it always does. There's a reason The Replacements' Let It Be is only 33 minutes long.
* * *
A lot of people will tell you that Reyes's smile had dimmed by 2008. I'm not sure this happened. I do recall a few things. He stopped doing the Professor Reyes in-game segments on the video board where he'd teach the bridge-and-tunnel crowd how to speak Spanish, gently chiding them along the way. He got a spiderweb tattooed around one of his elbows. He stopped stealing as many bases as he used to. He bulked up. He got married. He walked more. He seemed less like a freakishly gifted kid and more like an awesome professional, which I suppose made sense. He was, after all, 25. Grown up, like Wright.
I have a tougher time remembering 2007 and 2008 than I do 2005 and 2006 because baseball never means as much to most of us as it does during our early teenage years. We find other things to do on summer nights. We find new interests that carry the novelty baseball once had. We get a little more tired of losing. And it doesn't help that, when we do pop back in, our favorite players look more wizened than before.
Reyes played only a month in 2009—the year Wright's power vanished and he struck out 140 times—and he had a middling 2010, with a 103 OPS+ and only 30 stolen bases. He missed more time with injuries. It wasn't a sure thing that the Mets would pick up Reyes's 2011 option: Omar Minaya's regime had been canned and replaced with Sandy Alderson's braintrust, the same braintrust that made the presumably fiscally responsible decision not to re-sign Reyes yesterday.
But they picked up the option and Reyes played like the player we had all gradually come to think he would never be. He won the batting title. He had the highest slugging percentage of his career, despite playing in Citi Field. He walked more than he struck out, which boggles the mind, considering what used to happen with breaking balls thrown at his feet. Sure, he missed games, but he returned healthy and aced the end of the season. That's more than Wright can say for himself. He hit .254 and never looked right.
At a press conference last night, Sandy Alderson was "particularly strident" about not trading David Wright. The Mets have an expensive ballpark and Jason Bay's contract to finance, and they need people to go to games. Wright's star may have dimmed but he still looks like a star. Moreover, the Mets' arbitrage-happy executives would never trade David with his value this low. He's stuck as the team's designated star in part because he played so poorly. And Reyes is leaving, never to question Wright's position as the brightest star, because he played so well.
It's painful but true that the Mets have cast their lot with Wright and a small-market-style rebuild instead of paying Reyes. The roster has its share of overpaid slop, so Alderson finally took a principled stand, about three mega-contracts too late. And Wright will earn only $15 million next year, so, with a comeback season and any luck, he'll give the Mets better bang for their buck than Reyes would have. But parsimony never inspired any poetry, you know, man.

Men want lovely shaped shoulders and Fat Freezing fat loss treatment from LA Lipo Luton can target the area to isolate the deltoids and give amazing results every time. Call us today!
Tone and shape your shoulders men
LA Lipo Luton offers targeted Cryolipolysis treatment specifically for men. Cryolipolysis is a specialist treatment that is most commonly known as cool sculpting in the US, or fat freezing, here in the UK. This non surgical treatment removes fat from those troublesome areas of the body, including the shoulders.
When undertaking a healthy diet and exercise regime, it can be incredibly difficult for men to remove excess weight from the shoulders. Exercise can help to tone the muscles in the shoulders, but removing excess fat is more troublesome.
LA Lipo Luton offers Cryolipolysis treatment that reduces fat in the shoulder area by up to 20 percent. Toning and shaping the shoulders can be a difficult task just by diet and exercise alone.
When you combine a healthy lifestyle with Cryolipolysis , then you will be able to achieve toned and well defined shoulders.
Body image is important to everyone, as we all need to look and feel good about ourselves. A positive body image helps to achieve good mental health and wellbeing.
What LA Lipo offers is a realistic fat freezing treatment that will allow you to specifically target your shoulders that will help to boost your confidence when wearing no top in those summer months spent on the beach.
We recommend that you have several sessions, in order to achieve the absolute maximum results. The treatment that we provide is non surgical and non invasive, meaning that needles are not needed.
Our fat freezing technique works in pretty much the same way as liposuction, but we use cold temperatures to 'freeze' the fat cells, that are then naturally removed from the body, as opposed to needles that 'suck the fat' out of the body.
Our targeted weight loss Cryolipolysis service is provided by fully trained, professional and friendly staff.
Treatment can be carried out in one of our many UK clinics, or if you prefer we can come to your home.
A shoulder session will typically take between 30 minutes to an hour, and results are fast and effective, with up to twenty percent reduction in fat cells. You will also be able to carry on with your normal day after treatment, as you will be pain free.
Men deserve to look their absolute best, just as women do. If you are worried about the appearance of your shoulders, and feel that you need to lose weight from this area, then please do get in touch with us for a friendly, no commitment consultation.

In ancient Scotland, the ancestors of the name Lochearde lived in the Kingdom of Dalriada. In those days the name Lochearde was used to indicate a person who person who was brave. Lochearde is a nickname surname, which belongs to the category of hereditary surnames. Nicknames form a broad and miscellaneous class of surnames, and can refer directly or indirectly to one's personality, physical attributes, mannerisms, or even their habits of dress. The surname Lochearde comes from the words loc and hardy, which mean lock and brave or hardy.
The surname Lochearde was first found in Lanarkshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Lannraig) a former county in the central Strathclyde region of Scotland, now divided into the Council Areas of North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, and the City of Glasgow, where this distinguished family acquired the estates of Carnwath, Cleghorn, Birkhill, Kirktoun, and Leigh.
The Lockharts of Leigh [1] trace their descent from Sir Simon Locard whose name some claim was derived from the territorial name "de Loch Ard." The family estate was centered at Lee Castle, originally built c. 1272 and was expanded in the 19th century.
Sir Simon Locard accompanied Sir James Douglas on his expedition with the heart of Robert the Bruce, which after Douglas' death brought home from Spain and buried in Melrose Abbey. This incident was the reason of the Arms' "man's heart within a fetterlock."
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Lochearde research. Another 108 words (8 lines of text) covering the years 1296, 1689, 1658, 1646, 1658, 1674, 1621, 1675, 1652, 1630, 1689, 1685, 1686 and are included under the topic Early Lochearde History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
The translation of Gaelic names in the Middle Ages was not a task undertaken with great care. Records from that era show an enormous number of spelling variations, even in names referring to the same person. Over the years Lochearde has appeared as Lockhart, Lockhard, Locard, Lockard, Lockheart and many more.
Notable amongst the family at this time was George Lockhart of Tarbrax (died 1658), Commissioner of Glasgow in the Parliament of Scotland (1646-1658); Sir James Lockhart of Lee (d. 1674), lord of the Court of Session, he held the judicial title Lord Lee; Sir William Lockhart of Lee (1621-1675)...

Some of the Lochearde family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.

The descendants of the Dalriadan families who made the great crossing of the Atlantic still dot communities along the east coast of the United States and Canada. In the American War of Independence, many of the settlers traveled north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. Clan societies and highland games have allowed Canadian and American families of Scottish descent to recover much of their lost heritage. Investigation of the origins of family names on the North American continent has revealed that early immigrants bearing the name Lochearde or a variant listed above include: Robert Lockhard settled in Virginia in 1777; Gaven Lockhart settled in east New Jersey in 1685; Robert Lockhart settled in New York in 1820; Hugh, Isaac, Janet, John, Nicholas, Robert Lockhart, all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860..

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer
Locally advanced prostate cancer is cancer that has grown through the outer wall of the prostate gland and into neighboring tissue. Locally advanced prostate cancer has not spread into lymph nodes or to other organs.
Experts do not know the exact cause of prostate cancer, but they believe that factors such as age and family history increase a man's risk of developing the disease. Prostate cancer usually is a disease of older men.
Prostate cancer may not cause symptoms. Possible symptoms of locally advanced prostate cancer are:
Locally advanced prostate cancer is diagnosed through physical exams and tests, including a digital rectal exam, a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, and a biopsy.
Locally advanced prostate cancer may be treated with radiation therapy, surgery to remove the prostate (prostatectomy), hormone therapy, or surgery to relieve symptoms (transurethral resection of the prostate).

This is Nyjer Morgan. He still has the puck he scored his first WHL goal with, one of two goals he scored in 1999-2000 with the Regina Pats. He played only 7 games, but managed 20 penalty minutes. He played with current NHLer Derek Boogaard (who had 17 PIMs in 5 games).
Anyways, according to an old Dodgers broadcast I was re-watching this morning, Morgan started playing hockey because it was his passion. Morgan's a black kid from San Fransisco: the only thing less likely than a black man from California being passionate about hockey is a black man from California voting against Proposition 8. (insert rim shot here. pun intended).
"Most definitely my best asset is my speed. I was blessed with natural speed. I never ran track before, none of that stuff, I've just got it in my genes, I guess," said Morgan, whose first name is pronounced as NIGH-jer. "It was my biggest asset in hockey, too."After hockey, Nyjer went to Walla Walla College, and in 2002 was drafted in the 33rd round (!!) by the Pirates, where he has been since (in the system that is: he spent most of 2008 in the AAA Indians farm club).
