Training camp battles (cont.) |
6. Washington third receiver, Devin Thomas vs. Malcolm Kelly -- Looking to get bigger at receiver, the Redskins weren't content to take a tall rookie pass-catcher in the second round. Instead, they selected two. Kind of like the way they added both Brandon Lloyd and Antwaan Randle El in free agency in 2006, even though both receivers were of similar slight build. With Santana Moss and Randle El still on hand, Thomas (the 34th pick out of Michigan State) and Kelly (the 51st selection out of Oklahoma) will square off this preseason for the rights to the third-receiver role. The good news is there's plenty of three-receiver sets in the version of the West Coast offense new head coach Jim Zorn brings with him from Seattle, so there should be enough work for all four players involved. Based on his breakthrough junior season in 2007, Thomas is expected to have the early edge in his one-on-one duel with Kelly. 7. Giants safety, Kenny Phillips vs. Sammy Knight -- Having lost starting free safety Gibril Wilson in free agency to Oakland in March, New York bought itself some insurance by signing Knight to a three-year, $5.1 million deal as a free agent. But this makes four teams in five seasons for the 12th-year veteran (Miami, Kansas City, Jacksonville and the Giants), and you don't get to be that well-traveled in the NFL without a good reason. Knight's speed, never his strong suit, is now an oxymoron. But he'll likely still be in the lineup early because the Giants prefer to bring their rookies along slowly, the way it took until late in the season last year for first-round cornerback Aaron Ross to start making an impact. Phillips should be more of a factor, and Knight less, as the season unfolds. 8. N.Y. Jets tight end, Dustin Keller vs. Chris Baker -- Draft weekend didn't make for happy viewing for Baker, who already was chafing about his contract and being underappreciated, even before New York traded back into the bottom of the first round to select Keller, the Purdue standout. Baker is upset that despite being the Jets starter, he's making almost a $1 million less this season than his new backup, Bubba Franks. As a first-round pick, Keller too will pass him on the team's salary chart. Having learned their lesson from the Pete Kendall showdown last year, the Jets believe Keller gives them leverage in Baker's contract situation. New York doesn't want to trade Baker, because he's the team's best blocking tight end. But Keller is the pass-catching option, and his role will overshadow Baker's early on in Brian Schottenheimer's offense. 9. Pittsburgh third receiver, Limas Sweed vs. Nate Washington -- The Steelers took Sweed in the second round, 53rd overall, and he walks in the door as the obvious candidate to push Washington for the third-receiver role behind starters Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes. At the very least, Pittsburgh found a very talented replacement for Cedrick Wilson, the veteran receiver who was released this spring after being involved in a domestic violence incident. The Steelers consider Washington a fairly crucial part of their receiving corps and that's why they tendered him at a first-round level ($1.417 million) before re-signing him as a restricted free agent this year. But Sweed is the big, tall receiver (nearly 6-4) that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger requested this offseason, so look for Big Ben to prioritize getting him the ball. 10. Seattle defensive end, Lawrence Jackson vs. Darryl Tapp -- The Seahawks were thought to be in the market for a first-round defensive tackle in the draft, but they couldn't pass on the chance to select Jackson, one of the most proven pass-rushers available. The ex-USC star will compete with Tapp for the starting right end position, even though Tapp's seven sacks in 2007 were third on the team behind left end Patrick Kerney's 14½ and outside linebacker Julian Peterson's 9½. One possibility is to shift Tapp inside to tackle, or perhaps to have the 6-5, 268-pound Jackson start the season playing in a three-man end rotation. 11. Arizona cornerback, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie vs. Eric Green and Rod Hood -- Arizona's projected starters at cornerback are Green and Hood, but the team's first-round pick could change that with a strong preseason. Rodgers-Cromartie has prototypical NFL cornerback size (6-2, 182) and speed (4.29), and the Cardinals love his ability to get his hands on the ball in coverage. Green missed the last five games of 2007 and is entering the final season of his four-year rookie contract. He didn't have an interception last season, although his 12 passes defensed ranked second to Hood's 21. Hood picked off five passes and started every game at left cornerback. 12. San Francisco nose tackle, Kentwan Balmer vs. Aubrayo Franklin -- It's a difficult assignment to ask any rookie to handle the nose tackle role in a 3-4 defense. That's why Balmer might end up replacing the retired Bryant Young at right defensive end more than he truly pushes Franklin for the man in the middle slot. Balmer was a 4-3 defensive tackle at North Carolina and doesn't have much experience at nose, so his rookie season could be a case of using him where he can best contribute. Right now that's as a 3-4 defensive end, and not subjecting him to the double-team blocks that a nose tackle absorbs on almost every play.

Tracking Google's New "Short Fuse" Blogger Shutdown Policy
Lauren Weinstein (UID: 828974) writes | about 8 months ago
Lauren Weinstein writes "Yesterday, in New Info About Google's Blogger "Adult Sites" Deletion Notification, I attempted to provide some clarity to concerns about Google's sudden announcement that adult-content Blogger sites containing ads or other monetization links to commercial porn sites were subject to shutdown starting only a few days later, and I mentioned that apparently all (not just adult-oriented) Blogger sites could be affected.
I noted at the time (based on what I've been told by Google) that the short notice will likely (somehow) be taken into consideration, but there is no formal grace period, and no promises about what will actually happen after the deadline hits this Monday. Nor is there any explanation for why this incredibly short notice is in effect, given the logistical issues involved for users forced to alter their sites in such a rush.
It's the point about all Blogger sites being affected — not just the adult sites — that appears to have triggered more panic among some Blogger users, judging from my inbox this morning. So below are a few suggestions and a request."

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to determine the surgical and clinical outcomes of patients receiving total knee replacement with the same implant using two different types of cutting guides during surgery:
- Standard knee cutting guides;
- MRI generated patient specific custom cutting guides.
Both types of cutting guides used in this study are registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are routinely used for knee replacement surgery. However, it is unknown if one type of cutting guide has risks or benefits over the other.
Condition | Intervention |
Osteoarthritis, Knee |
Other: Instrument |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Comparative Clinical Study of the Vanguard® Knee System Using Signature™ Custom Guides & Conventional Techniques |
Resource links provided by NLM:
Further study details as provided by Washington University School of Medicine:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Patient dissatisfaction following primary total knee replacement. [ Time Frame: Preoperatively, intraoperatively, and at four to six weeks, three months, six months, and one year postoperatively. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Postoperative recovery time following primary total knee replacement. [ Time Frame: Immediate postoperative period (prior to discharge) and at four to six weeks, three months, six months, and one year postoperatively. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Estimated Enrollment: | 165 |
Study Start Date: | March 2010 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | March 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Active Comparator: Standard knee cutting guides
Standard cutting guides use traditional instrumentation to determine knee implant positions. During surgery, a rod is placed in the leg bone and the cutting guide is attached to that rod.
Other: Instrument
Randomization to instrumentation to be used for primary total knee replacement; either standard knee cutting guides or MRI generated patient specific custom cutting guides.
Other Names:
Active Comparator: MRI generated patient specific custom cutting guides
Patient specific cutting guides are custom-made for each patient based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Before surgery, MRI of the knee is done and used to create a cutting guide that is formed to the exact shape of the knee. The patient specific cutting guides have platforms that can be attached to the bone, so the rod does not need to be placed in the leg bone.
Other: Instrument
Randomization to instrumentation to be used for primary total knee replacement; either standard knee cutting guides or MRI generated patient specific custom cutting guides.

This company and a lot of similar companies in Asia also still rely heavily on faxes. From time to time we get long URLs faxed to us on order sheets and inquiries. Needless to say it can be difficult to determine what a URL is at all if the transmission gets garbled or the fax paper is fed in an angle. These are just two real-world examples where I still see URL structure being an issue.
I work in a fairly large Japanese corporation and have noticed a disturbing trend that is lessening, but refuses to disappear. That is the printing of e-mail messages. This is not just older staff that "don't get the Internet". I see staff in their 20's doing the same thing. Every morning they dutifully print out all of their mail (spam included). Links in these messages are then typed back in if access is required. I still get calls from people who can't access a URL and inevitably it's an underscore/space issue.

I like to think I am fairly balanced when it comes to the role of social media in our lives. I find it highly valuable in building relationships and retaining connections, and yet I am suspect of a world that is relationally exposed in a public forum.
What I am wondering though, is how much of the virtual brands that we create of ourselves are truly really us? sure, we post the best pictures of ourselves, tell our best stories, share the things we think are important. In a virtual world, we can craft our identities to be whatever we want.
Why do a billion people log into Facebook every day with a need to tell their story?
Perhaps our real lives are boring and this is a way to tell a better narrative of ourselves. Maybe we instinctively need to be relational, and for us introverts, this makes it especially easy. Maybe we feel more purpose-driven when we hit the 'like' button on the causes that are important to us. Maybe since we strive to make a difference, we see this as a tool to voice our opinions.
Of course social media really only keeps our identities on the surface. We can only go so far with our avatars relationally, but maybe we want that. Going too deep relationally exposes our true inner selves… and that can get messy.
In the virtual world we can make a name for ourselves, plug-in and leave our troubles behind.

HTC confirms Android 4.1 update for One X, One S, One XL
The Jelly Bean version of Android will be coming to these phones, HTC confirmed to Engadget. The timing, however, is still a mystery.
HTC plans to update its One X, One S, and One XL smartphones with Android 4.1, also known as Jelly Bean, the company confirmed to Engadget today.
HTC confirmed the upgrade plans, but unfortunately didn't provide any specific detail on timing to CNET.
The company also said the updates would come to versions sold by AT&T, T-Mobile, and Rogers.
Related stories
Updates to the latest version of Android have been a sore spot for consumers and handset vendors. They often come frustratingly slow, held up by the carrier approval process, as well as the need to integrate the new version of Android with the custom skin. In HTC's case, it's the Sense user interface that adds an extra wrinkle to the process.
The One series of smartphones is an important component to HTC's comeback plans. The phones are framed as its top line of smartphones, and was an attempt to simplify its lineup into fewer, better products. The company, however, has continued to make other products including the Evo 4G LTE and Droid Incredible 4G LTE.
There was no word on whether those phones would get an update.
Updated at 9:25 a.m. PT: to include a response from HTC.

Enter Harold Hatch, an engineer-turned-insurance agent. Hatch suggested that the insurance companies pay Dr. Garfield a fixed amount per day, per covered worker, up front. This would solve the hospital's immediate money troubles and, at the same time, would enable Dr. Garfield to emphasize maintaining health and safety rather than merely treating illness and injury. Thus, "prepayment" was born. For the princely sum of five cents per day, workers were provided this new form of health coverage. For an additional five cents per day, workers could also receive coverage for non-job related medical problems. Thousands of workers enrolled, and Dr. Garfield's hospital became a financial success.
As the aqueduct project wound down, Dr. Garfield prepared to leave his desert hospital and start a solo practice in Los Angeles. But he got a call from another industrialist. This time, the problem was providing health care to 6,500 workers and their families at the largest construction site in history—the Grand Coulee Dam.
Excited by the possibilities, Dr. Garfield put his solo practice plans on hold. He turned the existing run-down hospital into a state-of-the-art treatment facility and recruited a team of doctors to work in a "prepaid group practice." The method again was a smashing success and a big hit with the workers and their families. But as the dam neared completion in 1941, it seemed once again that the grand experiment was reaching an end.
In the Shipyards
Once again, however, history intervened. America's entry into World War II brought tens of thousands of workers—many of who were inexperienced and in poor health already—pouring into the Kaiser Shipyards in Richmond, Calif., to meet the nation's demand for big Liberty Ships, aircraft carriers, and the like. Now, Henry J. Kaiser had the problem: How to provide health care for this teeming mass of 30,000? Kaiser was convinced that Dr. Garfield could solve his problem, but it took some special wrangling—the surgeon was already scheduled to enter active duty with his U.S. Army Reserve unit in just a few weeks.
But at Kaiser's request, President Franklin D. Roosevelt released Dr. Garfield from his military obligation specifically so he could organize and run a prepaid group practice for the workers at the Richmond shipyards. And so, Dr. Garfield and his innovative health care delivery system came to the San Francisco Bay Area, and formed the association with Kaiser that would imbed itself in the organization and continue until the present day.
Kaiser Permanente Comes Into Its Own
When the war came to an end, the shipyard workforce fell from 90,000 to just 13,000 employees in only a few months. Only about a dozen of the 75 members of the medical group remained. But Dr. Garfield wanted to keep practicing his new form of health care delivery, and Kaiser wanted the plan to continue as well. Therefore, on October 1, 1945, the Permanente Health Plan officially opened to the public. In 10 years, enrollment surpassed 300,000 members in Northern California. In these early years, the success of the health plan was largely the result of support from unions. Two unions—the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union and the Retail Clerks Union—were the driving force behind bringing the health plan to Los Angeles.
In 1952, the name of the Health Plan and the Hospitals was changed from Permanente, which some felt had little meaning outside the organization, to Kaiser, which had high recognition nationally because of Kaiser Industries and Henry J. Kaiser himself. The medical group chose to keep the Permanente name, in part to clarify that they were not employees of Henry J. Kaiser.
Thus, the organization known in modern times as Kaiser Permanente was born. We are still a working partnership of two organizations: the not-for-profit Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Hospitals, and the Permanente Medical Groups.

stephen ashworth - AltLd - 01/Oct/13 with john frost
An incredible climb. Led the odd number pitches, including the two 6a pitches. Pitch 5 was definately the crux, which was close to my climbing limit and felt very bold due to the positioning/spacing of the bolts. Falling off was not an option! Some trad gear would definately have helped.Big Lee - AltLd O/S - 24/Jun/13 with Pero Kalugerovich

Recipe by McCormick® Holiday Cooking
"This is America's favorite comfort food--tender macaroni, rich and cheesy sauce and a crisp crumb topping."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons McCormick® Mustard, Ground
1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick® Black Pepper, Coarse Grind
1 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups milk
6 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon McCormick® Paprika
This was a great creamy plain old fashioned macaroni and cheese. The first time I made it I used whipping cream and sour cream in place of all the milk. Wow... creamy, comforting and fattening. I did not use garlic powder because even though I love it, it did not sound good in mac and cheese. I had no ground mustard so I left that out, and the amount of pepper sounded way off base so I only used 1/4-1/2 t until it tasted good to me. I also used crushed corn flakes instead of bread crumbs to the top of the casserole and drizzled the whole thing with another 1/2 cup of melted butter. I baked it about 45-50 minutes, because it was not hot and bubbly in the center at 30 minutes. Definitely use a larger pan if you have one. This went right to the top of my largest oblong glass dish.
Too much flour! The texture was PASTY!! Otherwise, a good recipe. Next time I will use less flour & really didn't need that much black pepper either. Especially when feeding this to little kids.

made this for x mas dinner it was a hit!
We made this with the modification of a few other reviewers by adding bacon bits and green chilies. We added these ingredients because the sauce was very bland and boring and we were trying to dress it up. There is not a nice texture to the sauce: maybe too much flour. It's also possible that there is too much mustard powder.
This recipe is delicious! It has a little to much sauce, but my family loved it.
Dry and bland
Way, way too much cheese sauce. I had to add more macaroni.
Great recipe! I added two cans of diced green chiles and 1/2 cup of bacon bits to the sauce before mixing into noodles. Tuned out fantastic!

"The philosophy of mind is unique among contemporary philosophical subjects," writes John Searle, "in that all of the most famous and influential theories are false." In Mind, Searle dismantles these famous and influential theories as he presents a vividly written, comprehensive introduction to the mind.
Here readers will find one of the world's most eminent thinkers shedding light on the central concern of modern philosophy. Searle begins with a look at the twelve problems of philosophy of mind--which he calls "Descartes and Other Disasters"--problems which he returns to throughout the volume, as he illuminates such topics as the freedom of the will, the actual operation of mental causation, the nature and functioning of the unconscious, the analysis of perception, and the concept of the self. One of the key chapters is on the mind-body problem, which Searle analyzes brilliantly. He argues that all forms of consciousness--from feeling thirsty to wondering how to translate Mallarm�--are caused by the behavior of neurons and are realized in the brain system, which is itself composed of neurons. But this does not mean that consciousness is nothing but neuronal behavior. The main point of having the concept of consciousness, Searle points out, is to capture the first person subjective features of the phenomenon and this point is lost if we redefine consciousness in third person objective terms.
Described as a "dragonslayer by temperament," John Searle offers here a refreshingly direct and open discussion of philosophy, one that skewers accepted wisdom even as it offers striking new insights into the nature of consciousness and the mind. [via]

Image segmentation is very essential and critical to image processing and pattern recognition. This survey provides a summary of color image segmentation techniques available now. Basically, color segmentation approaches are based on monochrome segmentation approaches operating in di erent color spaces. Therefore, we rst discuss the major segmentation approaches for segmenting monochrome images: histogram thresholding, characteristic feature clustering, edge detection, region-based methods, fuzzy techniques, neural networks, etc. � then review some major color representation methods and their advantages/disadvantages� nally summarize the color image segmentation techniques using di erent color representations. The usage of color models for image segmentation is also discussed. Some novel approaches such as fuzzy method and physics based method are investigated as well.

Found March 22, 2013 on
Fox Sports Tennessee:
NASHVILLE It could not have been a fun couple of days to be Sergei Kostitsyn.
Last Sunday in a 3-2 loss at Edmonton, the Nashville Predators forward had the bad judgment to give up on a play and go for a line change that turned into a 2-on-1 situation against his team and which resulted in the Oilers scoring a shorthanded goal.
The video went viral. It was broadcast on general interest sports programs that generally dont venture into hockey. His own coach Barry Trotz called it an illogical event.
To hold Kostitsyn accountable, Trotz held him out of the next game, only the second time this season in which Kostitsyn has not played.
This is a player who, two seasons ago, led the Predators in goals with 23 and tied for the team lead in points with 50.
Alas, on Thursday, Trotz inserted Kostitsyn back in the lineup, deciding that five days of shame was enough.
Hes served his time, if you will, and hes going to go back in the lineup, Trotz said before the game.
The coach was rewarded for his faith in the player and the player was rewarded with the second chance in a 5-3 win over Calgary. Not only did Trotz put Kostitsyn back in the lineup, but the coach also elected to reunite him on a line with Mike Fisher and Martin Erat. For most of the last three seasons, that trio has formed the teams top line. They have played together this season, but each of them has run into his own struggles and so Trotz had split them up.
Kostitsyn played 17:17 and while he did not earn a goal or an assist, the line generated two even-strength goals and he finished plus-2, tied for the best on the team on Thursday among the teams forwards.
Life, it seems, had achieved a degree of normalcy again for Kostitsyn.
It felt good that we won last night, he said on Friday. We lost four in a row. I think we didnt play the way we could. We give up two goals on the power play (on Thursday), but still I think we play very good last night.
Trotz said that if he had continued to hold Kostitsyn out of the lineup, it would have meant punishing the entire team. Among the interesting things to come out of Kostitsyns bit of infamy this week is that Trotz has praised his intelligence numerous times.
Sergei made a poor decision but he is one of the most intelligent players we do have, Trotz said. He can kill penalties. He can play on the power play. He can do a number of different things.
From that standpoint, I can punish the group some more, but I felt that we needed him in to win and he served his time. Now, he gets sort of a reprieve to show that it wouldnt happen again and he contributed.
Give credit to Trotz for not playing the guilty-by-association game. Last season, Kostitsyns brother Andrei helped to torpedo the Preds playoff chances by breaking curfew during the second round with then-teammate Alex Radulov. The Predators suspended both players and the situation became a huge distraction. To his credit, Sergei Kostitsyn was not among the players suspended that night and when it came to meting out justice this week, the sins of the brother were not held against Sergei Kostitsyn in terms of prior bad acts.
Sergei Kostitsyn said he tried to block out the furor that raged around him in the media during his few days in purgatory.
Well, I tried not to think about that, he said. Just going out and played the way I can.
When asked if he were glad that his punishment did not extend beyond the one game, he became a bit more uncomfortable.
Well, actually I dont know, he said. I dont know. I wasnt thinking about that.
One could further categorize Trotzs handling of the situation as one of forgive but not forget. While Kostitsyn earned his way back into the lineup, he did not play at all on the power play the situation in which he committed his sin. So lets not go so far as to say he has completely worked his way back into his coachs good graces.
Trotz said the idea of putting Kostitsyn back on the point on the power play where a defenseman usually would play and which can force a forward into defensive situations with which he is not generally accustomed still makes him a little nervous. Nonetheless, Trotz said he is reserving that option.
We didnt do that last night, he said.

What a fish !!
That's all we can say about this magnificent catch of our German consultant Christoph Lautenschlaeger. The different approach used during that session has been really effective as we can see, while fishing with 2 rods in the prebaited area, Christoph decided to place the third rig few meters from the rod tip near by some big weed bed using a single tigernut balanced with one fake corn from our ArtBait artificial baits range.
winter surprise for Robert
Our Dutch consultant Robert Bloemraad sent us this lovely mirror pictures which was quite a surprise for him : "It was caught 2 weeks ago on a Cream Dream Popup. I fished a small lake in the northern part of the Netherlands, prebaited the spot only one night before. We managed to catch 9 carps on this single morning with temperatures just above zero degrees Celsius and a chilly Eastern wind. Although I fish there a lot in wintertime I never caught a single mirror before. To my best knowledge there were only commons swimming here. So great was the surprise when this beautiful scaled mirror got at the surface. Not the biggest but for me the most beautiful fish this winter. I tricked her with a 20 mm Prologic Ready made Cream Dream popup, dipped in Cream Dream X-raise liquid. Hook size 6, XC2. "
Red Beast readymades again !
Our Italian consultant Kevin Zanetti seems like is not feeling the winter this year. He keep on feeding his spot every second day with a very limited quantity of Red Beast readymades, and fishing few hours after works. This strategy seems to be extremely effective as we can see, also this fish was caught using a single 20mm Red Beast rigged on XC4 size 4 hook and Gladio Link coated 30lbs. Well done Kevin !
Great news for all our friends from Ukraine
Starting from this season our product will be distributed all over the country from IBIS, one of the biggest wholesales of the country !
Good start for Liam !!
We have just received a cool report from our UK team member Liam Benson, a young carp angler with a bright angling future ahead ! " A one nighter on a pressured day ticket water (which wasn't fishing very well) lead to the prologic dd bait range doing the business along with Prologic N-tackle.
A short supple blow back rig did the damage attached to a Prologic quick link, and lead clip drop off setup on the tungsten range.
One of two low doubles came in the afternoon and one early morning. Not only battling the fish but the Ice! Minus 4 degrees wasn't the nicest, but the first and second fish of the season was!
Back next weekend for more. " Well done Liam !
Winter success for Cristoph and Bastian
Our two German consultant spent few days on a big reservoir in the south of France, catching sone really nice commons despite the water temperature was dropping extremely fast. Bio Red readymades and some home rolled bolies based on our Food Powder Artic Krill Meal and Soluble Fish Protein was the bait used
Nice postcard from Milan
Our friend Milan Markovic was out fishing with his brand new C.O.M. rods, pretty good catch for this time of the year. Good job Milan !
Our Italian consultant Stefano Incerti had another great day on his favorite river. Despite water temperature at 5.5 degree he managed to land 4 carp in a day session, the spot was prebaited 2 time before with Experience readymaeds RED BEAST, and all the fishes was caught using RED BEAST hookbait rigged on XC5 size 1 hook and Link Rex 50lbs which have worked perfectly on this swim where big rocks are normally a big problem for most of the hooklink materials.
Winter beauty
This immaculate 15kg common was caught few days ago from our good friend and professional photographer Salvatore Perrone. During this session he landed several good fish from the same small spot prebaited with our BioLiver e.o. readymades from the Experience range. This boilie based on a amino acid rich mix plus essential oils and spices has shown to be simply the most productive bait when the temperature drop !!

LETTER XXIII.Magnificent Signori: —The accompanying letters of yesterday and the day before will inform your Lordships of all that has occurred here since my last of the 18th, sent to you per express through the Pandolfini. I repeated the whole briefly in a letter which I have given to Messer Ennio, envoy of the Duke Valentino, who has sent him to your Lordships for the reasons given in mine of the 18th. I sent that letter by Messer Ennio, so that, in case he should arrive in Florence before the present letter, your Lordships may fully understand how matters are here, and may be able the better to decide the questions in relation to which he comes. Yesterday, at the twenty-second hour, I received your letter of the 17th, from which we learn that Faenza is at the last extremity. And not to fail of his duty, his Eminence of Volterra sent your letters to the Pope, who was greatly agitated by the intelligence, according to what the Secretary of his Holiness reports. So soon as day dawned this morning, the Pope sent for his Eminence; and, complaining to him of the conduct of the Venetians, asked what remedies he could suggest. His Eminence replied, that, seeing these evils steadily progressing, it seemed to him that the remedies contemplated by his Holiness were insufficient, and that it was necessary to resort to stronger measures; that he ought immediately to make the Legato della Marca move forward with his cavalry, and that he must appoint another Legate in Romagna, who ought to be a cardinal, and a man of good character and reputation, who has the honor of the Church at heart, and whose duty it should be to keep those in obedience who are faithful to the Church, and bring back to their obedience, by force if necessary, those who have strayed from it; and that then he ought to call together the ambassadors of all the nations, amongst whom there should be the Venetian envoy, and that in his presence he ought to complain of the wrongs done to the Church, and ask for counsel and assistance; and that, moreover, he ought to send briefs everywhere, conforming to the language he had held to the assembled ambassadors. His Eminence reminded his Holiness that Pope Clement V. had rescued Ferrara from the hands of the Venetians, who had seized that town; and that Pope Sixtus IV., his predecessor and father, had stirred up all Italy against them. He added, that, notwithstanding these new measures, he thought his Holiness should not neglect the old ones, and should start the Bishops of Tivoli and of Ragusa to hold and maintain the other towns, supposing that Faenza was lost. The Pope approved the suggestions of his Eminence as good and true; nevertheless he would not decide to avail of them as yet, saying that the circumstances seemed to him not to warrant the employment of measures that would at once irritate the Venetians; and that he preferred to carry out his first idea of sending the Bishops of Tivoli and of Ragusa, to see whether the Venetians would not by agreement restore to his hands what they had taken from him by violence. His Holiness seemed not altogether far from believing that the Venetians would do so, and that there was good reason to hope for it; although it was only yesterday that he declared that he would call all the ambassadors together, and protest to them against the acts of the Venetians. Now his Holiness wants to wait for an answer from the deputies whom he has sent to Dionisio di Naldo, from whom as yet nothing has been heard. His Eminence could not induce the Pope to any other course; and whilst his Holiness seems to him, on the one hand, dissatisfied and disposed to remedy the evil when, in his opinion, the proper time shall have come, he finds him on the other hand more circumspect and lukewarm in the measures he proposes than what he ought to be; and therefore he could not induce him to come to any other conclusion. Later, at the seventeenth hour, the Pope sent again for his Eminence, and told him that he had not been able to sleep on account of the state of things at Faenza and in Romagna, and that he had thought it might be well to sound the Duke Valentino again in regard to placing in the hands of his Holiness the castle of Furli and the other fortresses or places which he still held in Romagna, with the promise to restore them again to the Duke at a later moment, deeming it preferable that the Duke shouldoccupy them rather than the Venetians. He therefore begged his Eminence of Volterra to take the trouble of going as far as Ostia to see the Duke, and try to conclude such an arrangement with him. His Eminence agreed to do whatever might be agreeable to his Holiness, who in return promised to let him know if he should finally decide upon this course; charging him, meanwhile, to confer with the Cardinal d'Amboise, and to find out how he was disposed in this matter. This plan, that the Duke Valentino should hand these places over to the Pope, with the understanding that they shall be restored to him later, was proposed some days ago. The Duke consented to it, but then the Pope objected, saying that he did not want to break faith with any one; and being unwilling that any one should be master there, he refused to entertain the proposition. Now, however, he is willing to adopt this plan, unless he changes his mind again, being constrained by that necessity of which you are aware. He thinks that this is the most efficacious and excusable proceeding that he can adopt towards the Venetians, deeming it well not as yet to declare himself openly their enemy. At dinner-time his Eminence was again sent for by the Pope, who made him stay to dinner and detained him until near the twenty-fourth hour. His Eminence informed me that the Pope had sent to Ostia to ascertain whether the Duke had left, and if not, to make him delay his departure; as in that case the Cardinal will go early to-morrow to see him, and on the Cardinal's return we shall know what conclusion has been arrived at. But if the Duke has left, then it would be useless to entertain the project any further. His Eminence told me also that they had talked of the mission of the Bishop of Ragusa, who has been named Governor of Bologna and of the entire Romagna, with instructions to do all he possibly can to rescue those places from the hands of the Venetians, and bring them back to their obedience to the Holy Church. This Bishop has orders to stop at Florence and thank your Lordships on behalf of the Pope for the efforts you have made thus far, and to confer with you as to whether it be best to go to Faenza or Furli, or to enter Romagna from some other direction. He is to act according to your suggestions, and to avail himself in all other respects of your Lordships' good offices. He will leave to-morrow or next day. "As to Citerna and the two hundred ducats, etc., about which I have written, your Lordships wish to know the grounds for such a payment, and the advantages that would result from it. In explanation of this I reply that these fortresses are distributed amongst the Cardinals by lot, and whoever receives one of them has to keep twenty men there as a garrison, for which he is paid by the treasury. But instead of twenty men they keep only ten, and the difference is their profit. These gains enable the Cardinals to find persons who purchase these fortresses from them; and as San Giorgio has found some one who offers him two hundred ducats for Citerna, he will not part with it for less to any one else, and I believe we shall have to pay him that sum if we wish to effect the proposed exchange. As to the advantages to be gained thereby, it seems to me necessary that, inasmuch as we claim to be the defenders of the Church, we should not prove ourselves her despoilers. Nor is there any other more suitable way; for if San Giorgio is content, the matter will remain quiet for at least one year, and within that period we shall find some other expedient. This is the plan proposed here, and we shall endeavor to carry it through, although San Giorgio has drawn back and will not explain himself. But I shall not cease to keep an eye on him, and beg your Lordships meantime to reply upon this point." Your Lordships desire further information as to how matters are going on here, and what the opinions and conjectures in relation to them are. I imagined that up to the present time I had written in such manner that, if your Lordships take my letters in hand, you will find in them a complete history of all that has taken place here. To recapitulate them briefly I must, as regards the Pope, refer again to what I have written about him in my letter of the 11th; for his Holiness seems to me still bound by the same obligations and considerations which I then communicated. As to the Duke Valentino, you will have seen what I wrote subsequently, and more especially what I said in my three letters on the subject of his affairs; from which your Lordships, with your habitual sagacity, will be able to judge how his affairs will probably terminate, and what his own end is likely to be. Respecting Romagna I cannot yet tell your Lordships more than I have already done in my previous letters as to what is generally said here on the subject. From these your Lordships will also have learnt the attitude of the Pope and of the Cardinal d'Amboise, and the doings of the Venetians, real as well as pretended; how fate prevents the French from being able to resent them, and how the Pope finds it convenient to feign to believe them. Thus your Lordships cannot in this state of things hope that either the French or the Pope will aid you against the Venetians with either men or money; and that you will have to rely upon anything else rather than upon the men and money of others. As regards the Spanish and French armies, the latter have so entirely obtained the control of the Garigliano, that the Spaniards could not prevent their crossing the river, nor afterwards drive them from the positions which they hold there. As to their respective forces, I can but repeat what I have said before on that point, and what is generally admitted; namely, that the Spaniards, being inferior in numbers, cannot venture to give battle, and therefore withdraw behind difficult passes and strong places; as was seen first at San Germano and now on the Garigliano, where, having been driven from the river-bank, they have retreated about a mile, and by means of intrenchments and redoubts present fresh obstacles to the advance of the French. The bad weather also hinders the French from moving forward; for the country being low and swampy and the rain incessant, both French and Spaniards are obliged to confine their operations to guarding the redoubts which they have thrown up in front of each other, leaving the rest of their armies to disperse and seek shelter in the neighboring hamlets and places, being mutually protected against each other by the water and the weather. Yesterday the sky cleared a little, but to-day it rains again, and it is feared that the wet weather may continue for some time yet. Both armies suffer from want of forage and provisions; but the French suffer most, as the country around their camp is wasted to a greater degree. This exposes them to some disaster unless they can advance; on the other hand, the power of money, of which the French have abundance, may give them the best of the game, and may cause the Spaniards, who are short of money, to lose. It is believed that Bartolommeo d' Alviano has joined the Spaniards, but only with a small force. The Cardinal d'Amboise, on the other hand, sent the Savelli and the troops of Giovan Giordano to the French army, who consider themselves as having been badly served by Gianpaolo Baglioni in not having moved with his cavalry when he was ordered, and when they urged him to march. Taking all things together, I am really at a loss what conclusion to come to as to the possible issue. Your Lordships can form your own conclusions better than any one else. I will only say this, that the general opinion is that, considering all things, the French have more money and better troops, but the Spaniards have more good fortune and a better commander. I recommend myself to your Lordships. Niccolo Machiavelli. Rome, 21 November, 1503. |
