Child Nutrition Programs:
Reauthorization Issues

GAO reviewed the findings and recommendations from several of its recent reports on the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and the school lunch programs.
GAO noted that: (1) the WIC program provides lower-income pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age 5 with nutritious supplemental foods, nutrition education, and referrals to health care services; (2) in the past, Congress has raised concerns about the amount of federal WIC funds that states had not spent by the end of the fiscal year (FY) and were required to return to the Department of Agriculture (USDA) for reallocation in the following fiscal year; (3) these unspent federal funds totalled about $137.5 million of the @$3.5 billion appropriated for the WIC program in fiscal year 1995; (4) state officials disclosed a variety of reasons for these unspent funds; (5) in September 1997, GAO reported that the states have used a variety of cost-containment initiatives to control the costs of the WIC program; (6) local WIC agencies have taken a variety of strategies to improve access to WIC benefits for working women; (7) the Food and Nutrition Service requires the states to operate a rebate program for infant formula; (8) by negotiating rebates with manufacturers of infant formula purchased through WIC, the states greatly reduce their average per-person food costs so that more people can be served; (9) the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to more than 26 million children each school day at a federal cost of about $5.2 billion in FY 1997; (10) the students participating in the NSLP tended to waste a higher percentage of nutrients in their lunches--calories, protein, saturated fat, and total fat--than those not participating in the program; (11) authorities using food service companies had about the same situation regarding budget deficits as those that did not use food services companies, but they also reported lower levels of student participation in the NSLP; (12) the school food authorities' contracts with food service management companies varied in content and compliance with the federal requirements governing these contracts; (13) some states and school food authorities have developed a number of best practices to help contain the costs of operating school meal programs; (14) although batching restrictions were generally not a concern to processors, a few processors reported that the restrictions might limit their ability to operate at full production capacity; and (15) to help ensure compliance with the batching restrictions, state agencies and schools rely on on-site graders of USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service.

Conditionally Efficient Estimation of Long-run Relationships Using Mixed-frequency Time Series
I analyze efficient estimation of a cointegrating vector when the regressand is observed at a lower frequency than the regressors. Previous authors have examined the effects of specific temporal aggregation or sampling schemes, finding conventionally efficient techniques to be efficient only when both the regressand and the regressors are average sampled. Using an alternative method for analyzing aggregation under more general weighting schemes, I derive an efficiency bound that is conditional on the type of aggregation used on the regressand and differs from the unconditional bound defined by the infeasible full-information high-frequency data-generating process. I modify a conventional estimator, canonical cointegrating regression (CCR), to accommodate cases in which the aggregation weights are either unknown or known. In the unknown case, the correlation structure of the error term generally confounds identification of the conditionally efficient weights. In the known case, the correlation structure may be utilized to offset the potential information loss from aggregation, resulting in a conditionally efficient estimator. Efficiency is illustrated using a simulation study and an application to estimating a gasoline demand equation.Download Info

Gottex reports solid Q1 product performance
Related fund data links
Gottex Fund Management's entire product line posted positive performance for March year to date, according to the firm's trading statement for Q1 2013.
Total fee-earning assets for the group decreased by 9.0 per cent to USD6.41bn compared to USD7.0bn at 31 December 2012, as a result of client outflows, partly offset by new inflows in Asia of USD150m and the acquisition of a majority interest in Frontier Investment Management (subject to regulatory approval) and positive performance.
Gottex's second market neutral product is expected to regain its high water mark in Q2 2013 and will then start accruing performance fees, following the return to its high water mark of Gottex's largest market neutral fund last August.
Gottex signed an agreement to acquire a majority in UK-based Frontier Investment Management, allowing the company to offer broad range of liquid multi-asset products.
The company has a solid balance sheet with no debt and substantial cash reserves of USD34.5m.
Joachim Gottschalk (pictured), chairman and chief executive, says: "The global financial rally has continued to enhance hedge fund returns. Alternative investments including hedge funds will play an increasing role when institutional and retail investors substantially decrease their holdings in long bond portfolios; investors are already noticeably turning their attention to absolute return products. We anticipate good demand for multi-asset products with a much higher alternatives component like our Multi Asset Endowment Fund and Frontier's liquid multi-asset products.
"Many of our products have accrued incentive fees during the first quarter. This has contributed to a Q1 cash flow positive operating result for the company. In addition, we are getting closer to accruing incentive fees for our second market neutral product. Market volatility, however, remains and ongoing strong positive performance is not a given.
"Despite the various positive signs, investors are still hesitant to make significant asset allocation decisions, but activity has picked up. As a company, we look forward to the completion and integration of Frontier Investment Management, allowing us to offer our clients a broad range of liquid and low cost multi-asset products."

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 3:45 PM until 10:20 PM EDT. After that the Moon moves from Cancer into Leo.
Avoid arguments at home today, especially with female relatives or your mother. (Or your mother-in-law.) Fortunately, this is a brief window that occurs this afternoon so you just be patient until the coast is clear. Fortunately, relations with friends are chummy.
In the midday, it's easy to have squabbles with females, especially siblings, relatives and neighbours. Who wants this? Not you. It could be about your determined efforts to achieve something at work. Just lighten up for a while. When the annals of history are written - will any of this really matter?
People notice you in a positive way now - but they do notice you. Keep this in mind. Don't ruin your image with a spat with someone this afternoon about money, kids or social plans, including sports. Maintain your cool, especially when you are in the public eye.
Today the Moon is in your sign, which can make you more emotional than usual. For about a two-hour window this afternoon, you might feel agitated with someone, especially a family member or someone at home. Don't let this get to you. Stay happy and keep the peace.
You might feel irritated today but yet again, feel you cannot say something at the risk of looking foolish or petty. Leos don't do petty. Sure, you can feel this way but you're not going to admit it to anyone because you are royalty. Hang in there.
Disputes about money and possessions might take place with a friend today. Or perhaps an emotional discussion in a group or club will relate to a difference of opinion on how funds are handled or spent? If you let this moment slide by, it will disappear.
Avoid arguments with others today, especially bosses. Why? Because you are on display. Details about your private life will be public today, especially in the eyes of bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs and even the police. Therefore, watch your step.
Don't get too involved in the afternoon with arguments about publishing, travel plans, legal matters, medical situations and anything to do with higher education. It's just not worth it. The irony is if you let a few hours pass, these irritations will vanish. Poof!
You like to keep things light hearted and breezy. Good for you. Therefore, avoid contention with others this afternoon about differing values or how specific funds should be used or how to divide something or use shared property. Stay mellow.
Your patience with a partner or close friend will be tested this afternoon. Although you might not be aware of it, it could relate to the fact that you are so ambitious lately. Maybe someone else resents your ambition and feels they come second?
Avoid disputes about travel plans, dealing with foreign countries, legal matters, medicine and higher education today, which could arise at work. Life is too short for this. Anger serves no purpose except to make everyone miserable. Therefore, why even go there?
You could be at odds with a romantic partner about how to share expenses or it could be about the division of labour. It might also relate to differing values. An argument this afternoon could also arise about children. Just coast for the afternoon because these feelings will be short-lived.
Actor Rob Brown (1984) shares your birthday today. You are a modern, progressive individual who likes to keep abreast of the times. You are thoughtful and enjoy provocative conversation. You are clever about seeing opportunities available to you. Personally, you are charming and likable. You like to learn about things that are valuable and beneficial for everyone. This year different possibilities are open to you. You have a choice. Choose wisely.

In the 108th Congress, CBO estimated that S. 1545, the DREAM Act, would have a minimal cost over the first five years, but would cost upwards of $15 million a year for increased Medicaid and Food Stamp expenses for which the children would become eligible. Given the recent legislative changes to federal student loan programs and the changes made to Medicaid in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, it is uncertain what the current cost of this legislation might be. http://www.cbo.gov/doc.cfm?index=4981&type=0 B.

We need to modernize our current immigration system – including making long-term investments in the technology and resources that protect our borders, ports, and airports - so that it provides alternatives to unauthorized immigration and the lengthy backlogs that harm families and children." http://www.kendrickmeek.com/index.php/issues/immigration/ Cost: Unknown. Note: S. 2611 (109th Congress), the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006, would have created a process for long-time illegal aliens to gain citizenship, and it would have created a temporary worker program. CBO estimates that the bill would have increased mandatory spending for federal benefit programs such as Medicaid, Social Security, Medicare, and Food Stamps by $12.9 billion over five years. In addition, enforcement and border security provisions would have cost $25.2 billion over five years. NTUF is uncertain to what degree Representative Meek's plan would reflect the provisions of S. 2611. http://www.cbo.gov/doc.cfm?index=7501&zzz=34050 D.

MESA, Ariz. (AP) - Announced as Oakland's opening-day starter before the game, Brett Anderson allowed one hit in two scoreless innings Thursday in the Athletics' 5-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Alex Smith quietly stayed behind the scenes after losing his job and watched from the sideline as San Francisco returned to the Super Bowl for the first time in 18 years.

While I adore the Pet the Cat series, this wasn't my favorite Pete the Cat book. The story seemed a lot like many other books where someone steps up to save Christmas.

Much fluttering in the dovecotes attends the report by Bruno Waterfield on the plan by the EU parliament to "eliminate Eurosceptics as an organised opposition" – but the real target is the Conservatives.
The "plan" is the impending change to the qualifying criteria to set up political groups within the parliament, raising the current threshold from 20 MEPs from a fifth of the EU's member states to 30 MEPs and one quarter.
The higher barrier will have the effect of dissolving the Eurosceptic "Independence and Democracy" grouping, of which UKIP is part, but that was never the intended target – only a beneficial side-effect.
In this context, is is seen as the EU parliament's response to the recent demonstrations by the ID group against the constitutional Lisbon treaty, the plan has been on the stocks for some time. But the real aim of the game is to sabotage the Conservative Party's attempt to break away from the EPP group – a central part of David Cameron's strategy to parade his "Eurosceptic" credentials.
Already, the Tories have had such difficulty in meeting the existing requirements to form a separate group that they have not yet been able to make the break. Raising the height of the barrier will make it near impossible for them to do so – which is precisely the intention.
Without formal recognition as part of a group, the Tory splinter would have to sit as "non attached" MEPs, alongside communists, fascists and other odds and sods – a constant source of embarrassment and ridicule. Also, they would lose out on much coveted chances to become committee chairman as well as membership of delegations and the jollies that go with it.
According to Bruno, the rule change is expected to be approved with the backing of the parliament's EPP and PES (socialist), which account for 64 percent of MEPs and include the British Conservative and Labour groupings.
It will be interesting to see how many Conservative MEPs vote for the change, and whether the Tories in London realise in time that they are victims of a neat bit of sabotage, especially as Timothy Kirkhope has been instrumental in bringing this plan to fruition.

Ciudad de Vigo
Travel Blogs from Vigo
Vigo, Spain
Not much to say other than we got in late at night, took a cab to our hotel. Showered, slept, ate, heard gun shots outside our window and woke up early to catch the train to Madrid. WE WERE EXHAUSTED. Ps... Our hotel didn't even have a reception.... Good times haha
the town itself is actually cute though, except that there were people everywhere still up at 7 am from partying the night before on the streets. An unexpectedly lively city. ...
Cies islands
... to wait to see this and returned to the camping grounds; we purchased items to share at the restaurant just so we could sit inside and escape the cold; the restaurant did not open until 10pm. From here we found a bar to sit inside and enjoy a few drinks, we were avoiding going back to the tent for fear of it being as cold as the night before. We prepared a plan for bed consisting of wearing many layers, lying close together and strategically placing our blanket and a towel around ...
After the Tour
... are here now, sitting by the beach with our cycling tan lines and, though i say so myself, rather toned legs. With the images of the mountains under the rising sun, remembering the hard but satisfying climbs, the whooshing descents, the people who cheered us on along the way and wished us luck and the pride that we cycled all the way to Portugal. We would both do it all over again, and hopefully one day we will. Omar and Leonard say they would love another ...
Walking Day 17
... Irish friends arrive. We are becoming quite a group by now! We're all sitting in the yard of the school/auberge, tired but happy. Stargazing in the evening. Drinking wine, sharing food, coffee, tea, biscuits with chocopasta, yoghurt, crisps, doughnuts, ... everything people fancied and was available in the tiny local shop.

Customer Reviews
Just got it.....absolutely love Air Supremacy....lets see!
Ok played a bit now....good game, well worth the $5 but I still think Air Supremacy is better online play, (except for the server lag I get sometimes).
Great graphics, aerodynamics are more realistic, some better maps needed tho'.
Opponents aircraft are a bit small, better if they were a bit bigger.
Some aspects of this game are better than A.S. like not seeing opponents 'thru' a mountain...
Another thing......cumon devs....SR71 as a fighter? Too many guys in the 71 and it flys like an aerobatic plane? Not a chance, and it never had missiles, guns etc. Bit more realistic would be better....a 71 with defence but no attack, CTF would still work........
Still ridiculous SR71 game play. I see some turn inside their own wingspan, not good, not real, not fair. Also has the game been hacked? Air Supremacy was but fixed, some people can frag 30 guys in a minute, can't be true against seasoned players.....
It's ok but...
If you are thinking about getting this app I would tell you to first get sky gamblers storm raiders.
The reason is because to me more people like storm raiders and more people play the multiplayer portion of it more than this app. However if like very good graphics and really a single player only game then you should get this one. I would still strongly recommend storm raiders though.
Zehr gut
The game is very good. I really like the controls and the graphics are great. However, there are many improvements can be made to the game. I would like to see the planes to drop the added features such as the F-4 having the extra tail. I would also like to see the campaign extended. Lastly, there should be all 6 missiles in dogfight and multiplayer modes.

"the sex which is not one is not impressed. 'consider this principle of constancy which is so dear to you: what 'does it mean'? the avoidance of excessive inflow/outflow-excitement? coming from the other? the search, at any price, for homeostasis? for self-regulation? the reduction, then, in the machine, of the effects of movements from/toward its outside? which implies reversible transformation in a closed circuit, while discounting the variable of time, except in the mode of repetition as a state of equilibrium.' she is dying to run away.

There are certain things that force your hand. You find yourself incontrovertibly obligated: something occurs prior to owing, and more fundamental still than that of which any trace of empirical guilt can give an account. This relation—to whom? to what?—is no more and no less than your liability—what you owe before you think, understand, or give; that is, what you owe from the very fact that you exist, before you can properly owe. You do not have to do anything about your liability, and most finitudes don't. Still, it copilots your every move, planning your every flight, and it remains the place shadowed by the infinite singularity of your finitude.

he also dropped out of tisch after like a week? his parents didn't even know except some girl he went to high school with finally called them and narced on him. then he convinced them that he had to attend uc boulder, which is pretty amazing, given that he grew up in texas. if you can get your parents to pay for you to go to a state school that's not even in your state, well: good for you.

"all hysterics, wrote freud, give accounts of themselves which 'may be compared to an unnavigable river.' its streams dip in and out of consciousness, 'at one moment choked by masses of rock and at another divided and lost among shallows and sandbanks. i cannot help wondering how it is that the authorities can produce such smooth and precise histories in cases of hysteria,' he continues, when even 'the patients are incapable of giving such reports about themselves.' there is so much they forget or fabricate. 'the connections—even the ostensible ones—are for the most part incoherent, and the sequence of different events is uncertain.' if they can 'give the physician plenty of coherent information about this or that period of their lives…it is sure to be followed by another period as to which their communications run dry, leaving gaps unfilled, and riddles unanswered.'
and it has functioned as a paralyzing pathology of the sex that is not one, 'in hysteria there is at the same time the possibility of another mode of 'production'…maintained in latency. perhaps as a cultural reserve yet to come?'
by the end of twentieth century, only the most one track, fixated, single-minded individuals continued to think that focus and concentration worked. as one commentator writes: 'determinateness, direct logical analysis and/or exposition, and direct confrontation of any sort are simply out of order.'…high-resolution, high-definition minds are anathema to the parallel processors, intuitive programs, nonlinearities, interactivities, simulation systems, and virtualities of the late twentieth century. a strong sense of identity and direction gets one nowhere in cyberspace.
plans and determination had not merely become economically and socially counterproductive. as it turned out, paying too much attention to anything was brain damaging. overused cells died of boredom."

The Gucci Boston Canvas Duffle looks different from the usual Gucci bag. Can you guess why?
That's right, as a true fashionista you would know that what makes this bag refreshing to look at is that it does not feature the usual Gucci brand logo fabric that it uses most of the time. Once in a while you would get a bag that stands out among the pieces from the collection and this bag is it!

The way you hit it. I can't believe it. I ain't never seen an Astro like dat…the way you swing it, you make my fantasy team go…DUH DOING DOING DOING! I had to look up the lyrics to that song so I could figure out how to spell 'DOING', by the way, and it still feels wrong. What are you doing? Doing'ing? Must be like Polish and polish. Did you read those two right? You read the last one like what you do to all of your fantasy baseball trophies and the first one is the one you hear in all your grandpa's racist 'screw in a lightbulb' jokes. It's all in the capital letter to pronounce it differently. Maybe all caps makes doing refer to pitching a tent. This is a fantasy baseball blog, why are you talking about camping?!? It's summer, you should go camping at least once readers, really. Enjoy the sunshine while you can. Don't live in a cave writing about fantasy sports all day like we do. Hrm, I don't know how to transition back to the point of this conversation now so I'll just awkward segue to it. Matt Dominguez is home for five games and I want him on my team for that amount of time. Wanna know why? Well read in the next paragraph as I explain it for week 13 of the 2013 fantasy baseball season…
Please, blog, may I have some more?Andres Torres
So nice to see Yu. Saludos, my Darvish. Come on, let's mingle. You know, my dear, my father used to say to me, Grey, don't be a schnook. It's not how Yu feel. It's how Yu look. And you, Darvish, you look absolutely marvishlous. Cole Hamels — bleh. R.A. Dickey — eh. Yu Darvish — absolutely marvishlous! When a beautiful girl passes or when you see something you know you may never see again, what do you say? I say, oohbeekadoobie like I'm Billy Crystal impersonating Sammy Davis Jr. Nothing else can express the start Darvish had last night. Oohbeekadoobie, baby, oohbeekadoobie. That's all I have. Sure, it's a nonsensical word that's origin of meaning is bupkis, but when one comes face-to-face with wonder, one is left with nothing but oohbeekadoobie. Just like Darvish pulled up just short of a perfect game, I'll pull up short of saying he's a number one/top ten starter off of one start in April vs. the Astros. The Astros, mind you, who are put together as a team the same way you used to put together pick up games. If you have a glove and bat, you can play for them. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Scott White from CBS hosted this NL-Only draft that started at 8 AM PST. For the second time in my life, I was glad I didn't live in Hawaii. The first time was when I received a coconut piggy bank from every relative that ever went to visit Hawaii. They should have a March Madness tournament for number one wackiest export. In the first round, Hawaii vs. China with coconut piggy banks going against backscratchers. They can meet the winner of the match-up between Switzerland and Taiwan with cuckoo clocks taking on baby corn. "I can't believe baby corns advanced to the 2nd round. I didn't think cuckoo clocks could be beat." That's the guy in your office who bets on anything that's organized in a tournament. I drafted the team almost completely on my own since it was so early and Rudy was nursing a huffing hangover. Rudy did scoop in and draft the bench because, well, I had to poop. Anyway, here's our 2013 fantasy baseball NL-Only team:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hey, I'm Higgins and I'm going to be posting updates about our Fantasy Razzball leagues. If you are not familiar with Fantasy Razzball, it is a league format where us truly masochistic fantasy baseballers try to build the worst fantasy baseball team possible.
Please, blog, may I have some more?It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes. Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live and let's change the way we treat each other. You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do what we gotta do, to survive.
Please, blog, may I have some more?We all need a little wonder, so let me pose a question to you after this clunky intro. Was Matt Cain's perfect game the best one game pitching performance in major league history? I pose that question to you, young prematurely balding man, not to answer. Remember, I can't hear you, unless you scream louder than 200 decibels. I pose this to you to put awe in your heart. A piece of childhood shoved right into your aorta. I'm saying, remove your short-sleeved button down shirt, and let me touch your heart with my question. A 14 K perfect game is kinda hard to top. I mean, I liked Pedro Martinez body slamming Don Zimmer as much as the next man, but the only pitcher to have 14 Ks in a perfect game was Sandy Koufax and he was coming off a Shabbos. Yesterday, was pure shock and "Aw crap, why don't I have him on one single team?! I love Matt Cain! Bumgarner, you better throw a 15 K perfecto next time out!" Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Brandon Belt – 2-for-3 and his 2nd homer in as many games. There's gonna be some hot schmotatos mentioned further down this post, even a hot thotato, but Belt is an immediate pick up. If he's clicking, he could be a top twelve 1st baseman, like fo' reals fo' reals.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Right now on our Fantasy Baseball Player Rater the top outfielders are Hamilton, Kemp, Beltran, CarGo, Braun, Bruce, Jones, Grandy and then Bryan LaHair. Now, I'm not saying LaHair doesn't belong in that company– No, that's exactly what I'm saying. For 1st basemen, he's currently above Prince Fielder, Votto and Miggy. I know, you think of yourself as a brilliant NASA-level scientist who has been working on a pencil made of Doritos crumbs. Your Dorito pencil will come to fruition; the sour cream and chive eraser is a great addition, but you didn't plan on LaHair doing anywhere near this good. If you own LaHair, you stepped in LaCrap. Right now, a guy who people weren't sure could make it in the major leagues is hitting .384 with 8 homers in 28 games. The power isn't totally bonkers. He's on pace for around 40 homers. 25 homers seems doable, maybe even 30. The batting average is Jimmy Stewart's rabbit, Harvey. It's Keyser Söze. It's your imaginary friend that you agreed to marry if you get to 40 years old and you're both still single. Right now, he has a .510 BABIP. The only way he sustains that is if LaHair has some Zapped telekinesis power. He wouldn't even be able to sustain it if he hired Willie Aames to run on the field to distract the fielders. (Willie charges $15/hour for this service if you want him for your softball games.) His current K-rate (29.1) would have been third worst last year (or third best if you're a masochist).
Please, blog, may I have some more?No surprise that Johan Santana pitched well yesterday. Everyone pitched well yesterday (except relievers). Now I know what it was like to play fantasy baseball during the dead ball era. "Hey, Scoots, I got me a base hit from my second bagger! I'm so excited, but maybe that excitement is from this Coca-Cola that's made from cocaine! I love me some fizzle! I'm gonna boil this Coca-Cola, then smoke the leftover brown soot. You want in, Scoots? Huh?!" Can't everyone do the juice and then use FedEx? I miss the shrunken ball era! Did anyone even hit a ball out of the infield yesterday? Someone lower the mound six inches and use aluminum bats. Please! I need Justin Masterson looking like Bob Gibson like I need another hole in my head (I already have four; one of my ears closed up after listening to the Cleveland Indian announcers). Can't say I wasn't unpleasantly surprised to see Johan pitching. It would've been straight pleasantly, but I don't own him anywhere. He's not the pitcher he once was. He's not going back to that, but he looked like he could be a fairly competent number three fantasy starter if — and this "if" is the size of Gilbert Grape's mom — he can stay healthy. Though, after yesterday, every healthy pitcher may be a competent number three. Now go smoke some Coca-Cola soot! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Frank Francisco – A perfect inning save. It's safe to drop Rauch and/or Parnell. If you want, pretend you're going catch Rauch in a trust exercise, then let him drop. It's more fun that way.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I'm no Nostradumbass, but I'm telling you there's not going to be a whole lot of greatness coming out of this post. We're Cousteau deep right now. The first tier have some nice flyers that you may drop after a week or so and the other schmohawks in this post are, well, schmohawks. So all the 2012 fantasy baseball rankings are found under yonder and we're moving onto pitchers next. That should excite you, you special person you. C'mon, let me pinch your cheeks. I didn't say your face cheeks. Hey now! Anyway, here's the top 80 outfielders for 2012 fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Matt Joyce a sell? Now I will bite my lip and try not to sob. Quiet, gentle sobs that Joyce used to assuage. Joyce and I had something together that no one else can understand. Well, maybe some of you that also own him can understand it, but the rest of you never will. We shared moments that can only be explained by watching an Ecuadorian couple that has been married for 60 years sharing a mango on a park bench. That's what we had! Picture, if you will, a giant mustache wrapped like a shawl around Matt Joyce's shoulders. We were that inseparable for about six weeks. I own Joyce all over the place and he's about the only hitter I have playing over his head. Alas, playing over his head is the problem with Joyce, to DeWitt. His BABIP is absurd; he's a .270 hitter currently hitting .360. He's sandwiched between Votto and Miguel Cabrera on ESPN's Player Rater. That's crazy. I know I told everyone to grab him back in April, but he's not this good. Humble brag! He's never had more than 5 hits vs.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

thenewephemera: A factory floor that absorbs communities in a warm embrace The internet revolution may have unraveled traditional business models, creating a virtual marketplace to reach boundless customers across great distances, but the factory floor itself has remained almost stubbornly static and traditional. Don't worry, though: the sandstorm changes everything. The sandstorm is not a few lifeless slabs of concrete, but millions of dynamic granules acting in concert. It's glorious and humbling. Imagine your life so perfect and free. The sandstorm is unpredictable but determined. The sandstorm strikes suddenly and without warning. The sandstorm cannot be stopped. The sandstorm is able to make anything, anytime, anywhere. Today, for one low price, your company can have no fixed position and exist in reality: the best of both worlds. "A dark shape entered the town and wormed its way irreparably into my clothes, my hair, my children." Have you ever seen a child build a sand castle? Who cries when the waves knock it down? This is foolish, but only because it is wrong. Waves don't knock down sand castles; rather, sand castles invade the ocean, one spire at a time. If current trends continue, the ocean will eventually be entirely children's sand castles. Stay ahead of the curve. Get your factory on the floor and start swimming in the new ocean. Let yourself be swallowed by the future, because with enough effort, the future will choke before we do. ************** • Fluid and Granular • Dense and traversable • Constant and Fleeting ALSO: • Unstoppable • Relentless • Sandy • Dynamic • Fearless Only $5 per sq ft per month! thenewephemera weather dolan morgan friends architecture real estate

"The Weathermen Turn Themselves In" finally asks the absurd question: what if architecture and weather switched positions? By reversing the natural world with our constructed environment, we examine not only the boundaries, limitations and correlations between the two – but also between that which we can control and that which we cannot. The afternoon forecast is a 90% chance of condo squalls, and we're advised to stay inside the comfort of our storms. Now, quick: what is an umbrella.More soooooooon (and all in this weird tiny mirror room that has walls which turn and open to the street) at first I read that copy as "not only the boundaries, limitations and correlations between the two – but also between that which we cannot control and that which we cannot" which i guess might be more accurate?

FTA: Karl Kroger, a parent in Pierre, South Dakota, told a local television station: "As a father of a newborn, beautiful girl, the last thing I want to do is send her to a school where I know, or don´t know, who in the heck is going to be having a gun in that school."This mentality is scary and all too common. Not only is his head in the sand, he says he wants it in the sand. I guess it escapes him that anyone could have a gun in that school any time. His little signs are no impediment to a criminal at all. Click Here if you Like this Comment
It´s funny, my dad grew up in this state. He used to bring a gun to school with him. Other kids did too. They leaned them up in the corner until school was over. After school, they went out into the pasture and shot the critters that dug holes and caused their cows to fall and get lame. This was one of his chores.Note that the author is from L.A.

I was a 4th grader in 1955. My school was a three room, two grades per room, elementary school. We had three teachers, an aid or volunteer teachers assistant who also taught music, and a "Principal" who taught the 5th and 6th graders. The school was heated by glowing red coal fired pot bellied stoves, and cooled by open windows. Our playground was infested with critters we found to be fascinating, skunks, raccoons, tarantulas, millipedes and centipedes (to name a few). At recess, the teacher taking her/his turn at supervision would strap on a 7 shot .22 cal revolver and lead the way outside. Occasionally, a cry would be shouted, "Tarantual!" or what ever creepy thing was encroaching. The teacher would saunter over, all us boys gathering round, and unlimber the piece and shoot the nasty culprit - We would all cheer loudly-. Some one of the braver boys, usually one of the awe inspiring sixth graders, would then heft the dead beast on the end of a stick and show it around. For more joy, he would start to chase a screeching girl with it. The bell would ring, we would all file back into the building, the holster, gun and belt hung on a nail by the back door and classes would resume. No one ever got shot, no kid ever touched the gin, much less even thought of touching it- and life was good.Today, a kid even comes to school with a photo of our President performing one of his favorite pastimes, skeet shooting (Yes- I´m being sarcastic) and the kids is suspended for two weeks, no matter how honorable his/her grades or behavior.What a nasty, petty, fearful bunch of weaklings we have become.

#2, I grew up in Kansas and we did the same--guns in the cloak room.

In the mid-´50s, I was on the high school rifle team. I could get on the bus with my Mossberg 22 with nary a thought and go to school, and put the rifle in the team´s weapons locker. We were smart enough and taught well enough to never carry a loaded weapon. Those days in western NC are long gone as are many of our freedoms.By the way, I got my first rifle at Christmas when I was 10. My father and grandfather thought that I had enough training and field smarts to have my own weapon. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

27 February 2011
After the DNP coaches decision on Gordon Hayward Saturday night, I was a little bit frustrated. Especially when the 34 year-old Bell and the slumping Miles were not playing so well. The question was asked by multiple people in many different ways why didn't Gordon play. Defense was the answer that most paid analysts gave.
Here is a stat breakdown from the three of them so far this year.
Here is the link to the comparison as well.
I believe that most of us feel that CJ is the best of the three, and these numbers show it. After looking at this break down, I still can't understand why Bell is getting 30.6 minutes a game. Bell is getting 128% more of the playing time but 31% less points than Miles. That is just the with the PerGame averages. If you look at the per36 minutes stats Miles is getting double or almost 200% more productivity across the board.
I don't know if it is something that the coaching staff (before and after Sloan), have collectively decided or what, but Bell does not deserve or need 30 minutes a game.
In both the per36 stats Hayward is even or ahead of Bell in every major category except for FT%(which is a huge 15% deficit). I understand that some of these stats are going to be inflated because of playing time, rotations and other factors. However, over the past three weeks the Utah Jazz organzation and coaching staff have told/shown us that they are concerned with the future and being good for a while. Playing Raja Bell does not help that cause.
Raja Bell will be 37 when his contract ends and Hayward will barely be 23. I don't know if Hayward is the two guard of our future, however I know that he under contract until 2014/2015 with a Q.O.. I also know that Raja is not the two guard of our future.
I also think that CJ's future is up in the air as well, especially with all that has gone on the past few weeks. The Jazz have a team option for 3.7 at the end of they year. We all know that him and Deron were good friends, and that he may have been effected he most by the trade (as far as players that were here).
I am not saying that I know all the answers or any of the answers. I do know that if the Jazz are going to committ to the future, they can't do it halfway. With Raja getting 30 minutes a game that is going half way. He can still be a veteran leader from the bench or with 13 minutes a game. The Jazz have nothing to lose. We have lost or HOF coach and our best player, starting CJ and giving Hayward more minutes will be considered a flesh wound. At this point I am fine with trying anything.
