The first week of May 2010 coincides with the first year anniversary of Alan Weinstein's retirement from UC Berkeley; Weinstein has been one of the most influential figures in symplectic geometry, Poisson geometry and analysis in the past forty years. Weinstein's fundamental work inspired many others and led to the development of central concepts in symplectic and Poisson geometry, as well as to the establishment of symplectic geometry as an independent discipline within mathematics. This conference will be a forum to celebrate Weinstein's fundamental contributions to geometry and mathematics at large.

Aiden Shaw, Steve Cody
Rating : 6 out of 10
Salesman Steve Cody is beat and tired and frustrated. While having to listen to Paul Bain prattle on about nothing, he spies the magnificent Aiden Shaw. He is smitten by the hunky warehouseman's raw animal sexuality and magnetism. As Paul's voice fades away, Steve surrenders to fevered manlove fantasies and imagines himself subdued by the big Irish stud, completely and willingly swept away in a magically delicious euphoria.

The membrane skeleton is composed of spectrin, actin and a host of accessory proteins. Actin filaments are crosslinked by spectrins, which are 200 nm long tetrameric proteins with actin binding sites at each end. The spectrin-actin lattice associates with membranes through accessory proteins which function as adaptors that bind to both spectrin and to the cytoplasmic domains of membrane proteins. The most important of these adaptor proteins is the ankyrin family. We have determined crystal structures for the membrane protein binding domain of ankyrins and the ankyrin-binding domain of spectrin. The goal of current projects is to structurally characterize interactions between membrane proteins, ankyrins and spectrins.

October 31, 1988 Destiny's BoysL.A. miraculously beat Oakland in the World Series by Steve Wulf
Lasorda kept telling his players about David and Goliath "The first time the underdog won," he said and, given the relative strength of the combatants, this was an upset of Biblical proportions. The Dodgers jumped on NBC sportscaster Bob Costas for calling their Game 4 lineup perhaps the weakest in World Series history, but, truth be told, he was right. One would have to go back to the 1906 Chicago White Sox, known as the Hitless Wonders, to find a worse Series team, but it's interesting that the Sox beat the crosstown Cubs that year.
Not even the Dodger faithful had much faith. On the afternoon of Game 1 comedian Don Rickles was talking with Lasorda when the Dodger skipper excused himself to go give his players a pep talk. "You're not going out there and feed them some line of bull about how they're gonna win this thing without [Kirk] Gibson, are you?" asked Rickles.
"Yup," said Lasorda.
Even with Gibson, the 1988 edition was not quite up there in the Dodger Blue Pantheon with the '55, '59, '63, '65 or '81 world champions. Let's put it this way among the following groups, which names don't belong: Hodges, Parker, Garvey, Stubbs? How about Robinson, Gilliam, Cey, Hamilton? Or Snider, Willie Davis, Guerrero, Shelby? Reese, Wills, Russell, Griffin?
The Dodgers themselves helped build up the Athletics' stature. "My God, they tote those 36-ounce bats and big biceps to the plate," said pitcher Tim Belcher. "Cy Young would be scared." Said centerfielder John Shelby, "We're just a bunch of has-beens, no-names and little-names trying to make names for ourselves." And in the end, they did.
photograph by
The A's won Game 3, the first of three in Oakland, 2-1 on a ninth-inning homer by Mark McGwire off Jay Howell, but that was the A's only ascendant moment. With Orel Hershiser scheduled to start Game 5 for L.A., Oakland had to win Game 4, and it didn't, making two crucial errors and losing 4-3. Before Game 5 the Oakland Coliseum speakers blared out Bobby McFerrin's Don't Worry, Be Happy, as they had before the previous two games, but the whistling on McFerrin's pop hit was so much whistling in the dark. The A's had every reason to worry and nothing to be happy about. Hershiser pitched a four-hitter, and Mickey Hatcher and Mike Davis hit two-run homers as the Dodgers won 5-2 for their first world championship in seven years. The Dodgers rubbed it in a little by doing mock A's-style forearm bashes in the dugout following the home runs.
As the champagne flowed, owner Peter O'Malley compared these Dodgers with the 1959 team that beat the White Sox in six games. But the result of that Series was nowhere as big a surprise as this year's was. One man in a Los Angeles uniform did know the proper historical precedent for the victory: Third base coach Joe Amalfitano was a 20-year-old reserve infielder for the New York Giants when they beat the Cleveland Indians four straight in the 1954 World Series. "Same thing as '54," said Amalfitano. "We didn't have a chance against Cleveland." The Indians were considered a great team; they had won 111 games in the regular season. But in the first game of the Series, Willie Mays made his famous back-to-the-plate catch off Vic Wertz a deed that had much the same disheartening effect on the Tribe as Gibson's Game 1 homer had on the A's and the Giants went on to sweep the Indians. Little-used outfielder Dusty Rhodes, who hit two homers and drove in seven runs in the '54 Series, was the Hatcher (two homers, five RBIs) of his day.
So how did the 1988 Dodgers pull this off? There are all sorts of theories, both silly and serious. One suggestion, fresh out of one of Hollywood's recent body-switch movies, had the injured Gibson magically transferring his talents to L.A.'s other former college wide receiver, Hatcher. Even Gibson, who spent much of the Series angling for another at bat, admitted, "Mickey steps in and fills my role, and I filled his." Another theory had the Dodgers kidnapping Jose Canseco and replacing him with his identical twin brother, Ozzie, who hit .222 for the Huntsville (Ala.) Stars of the AA Southern League. Then there was this to ponder: Before Game 3, the only one the A's won, members of the Oakland grounds crew wore tuxedos, but after that they switched back to their regular attire. "You might be right," said one groundskeeper when asked before Game 5 if the tuxedos could have been a good-luck charm. "But did you ever try to bend over and clean second base in a cummerbund?"
There are other explanations, of course. In I Samuel 17:40 it's written that David "chose him five smooth stones out of the brook" before he went up against Goliath with a sling. With that in mind, here are five smooth stones the Dodgers used to knock off the A's:
HERSHISER. Two of the victories were his, and his alone: the three-hit shutout in Game 2 and the four-hit clincher in Game 5. His mastery of the A's and his surprising skill as a batsman are what made Hershiser the Series MVP (see box on page 36), but he helped the Dodgers in little ways as well. After Howell gave up the ninth-inning homer to McGwire in Game 3, Hershiser went onto the field and met Howell near the first base line. Hershiser wasn't merely consoling Howell. "I went out and asked him if he'd made a good pitch," said Hershiser. "At times like those, it doesn't do you any good to hang your head and get upset. If you get beat, you should learn something from it. If it was your best pitch, well, you gave it your best shot. If it wasn't, you shouldn't throw it again." The next night, Howell twice faced down the heart of the A's order to preserve the Dodgers' 4-3 victory.
Walking through Oakland's only clubhouse celebration of the Series was the A's Mr. October himself, Reggie Jackson. He congratulated the much-relieved A's, but he sounded an ominous note when he said that his former team had to win the next night's game. "Orel Hershiser goes in Game 5, and Orel Hershiser is the real thing," said Jackson. "He's 24 carat. He's 99 and 4 4/100 percent pure. He's Ivory Snow. He's Post Toasties. He's a rainy day for the other team. Hell, he's a smog alert."
Hershiser is known as Bulldog, and during the Series, his father, Orel Leonard Hershiser III, distributed stuffed bulldogs and bulldog pins to the other Dodgers. The trinkets had been sent by Mack Truck, which uses the bulldog as its symbol, and it came to be the Dodgers' symbol as well. Years and years ago, after John McGraw said that Connie Mack's expensive Philadelphia Athletics were mere "white elephants," the white elephant became the symbol of the A's. The cartoon image that emerges from this Series is of a herd of stampeding white elephants with bulldogs nipping at their feet.
GIBSON. His epic homer won Game 1, but Gibson really set things in motion in March when pitcher Jesse Orosco smeared eye black inside Gibson's hat. When Gibson discovered the practical joke, he stormed off the field. "No wonder this team finished fourth last season," said Gibson, and the other Dodgers got the message. "He made it cool to care about winning," says Hershiser. "He made it
cool to be aggressive and to hustle and work hard."
So even though Gibson made his first and last appearance with two outs in the bottom of the ninth in Game 1, his presence was always felt.
LASORDA. He's full of prosciutto, but Lasorda did a superb job of both micro-and macromanaging. In the 4-3 victory in Game 4 he tried four hit-and-runs. The first one precipitated a two-run rally in the first, and the last, in the seventh, kept L.A. out of a double play and allowed its fourth run to score. In the fourth inning of the clinching victory Lasorda gave the green light on 3 and 0 to Davis, who had two homers and a .196 average in the regular season, and Davis responded with a two-run homer that gave Hershiser a 4-1 lead. Lasorda stayed one step ahead of La Russa during the entire Series, even though La Russa had a much more talented roster at his disposal.
As for the bigger picture, Lasorda kept his troops loose and confident, even though everyone else knew they had no business being in the Series. Some of his motivational techniques were childish example: exploiting Costas's innocent remark about the Los Angeles lineup to the point that the Dodgers were chanting "Kill Costas!" in the clubhouse but they worked, not so much on L.A. as on Oakland. La Russa was so obsessed with the emotional edge the Dodgers had that he showed uncharacteristic emotion himself, hollering at his team in the dugout, for example, during Game 3. Speaking of hollering, Lasorda wandered through the Los Angeles clubhouse after Game 4, yelling something about "the fruits of victory." One Dodger yelled back, "Why does it always have to be food with you, Tommy?"
With each injury to the patients of Jobe team physician Dr. Frank Jobe the Dodgers seemed to gain strength. First there was Gibson's right knee, severely sprained in Game 7 of the playoffs. Then there were the recurring ills of pitcher John Tudor's left elbow and outfielder Mike Marshall's back. Then catcher Mike Scioscia twisted his right knee sliding into second in Game 4. Lasorda never panicked, not even when the team he put on the field included Jose Gonzalez (.083 for the regular season), Franklin Stubbs (.223), Jeff Hamilton (.236), Alfredo Griffin (.199) and Davis. The last injury of the Series was suffered by Lasorda. At the presentation ceremonies he cut his forehead on one of the metal flags on the World Series trophy.
"He certainly did the finest job of managing I've seen," said Amalfitano. "You know, when you guys do those player-by-player matchups, you don't really think about the impact the managers have on a team. That was a big difference in this Series."
THE SCOUTS. At one point during the clubhouse celebration Scioscia went up to a nattily attired gentleman and said, "We couldn't have done it without you guys. Your reports were great." And the gentleman, Steve Boros, told Scioscia, "I could count the mistakes we made in the entire Series on one hand."
The reports were prepared by Boros, Mel Didier and Jerry Stephenson, and they had the A's pegged perfectly. Didier, for instance, wrote that "sure as shootin', Eckersley will throw a backdoor slider to a lefthanded hitter with a 3-and-2 count." That's precisely what Dennis Eckersley threw Gibson on that fateful 3-and-2 pitch in Game 1.
As for the Athletics' hitters, the reports basically said that all of them, with the exception of catcher Terry Steinbach, were susceptible to fastballs that climbed the ladder. The A's were so overwhelmed that after Hershiser went 3 for 3 at the plate in Game 2, it took until the third inning of Game 5 for the trio of Canseco, McGwire and Carney Lansford to surpass him in hits.
The Dodgers' scouting reports also gave them a certain psychological advantage. Imagine you're Stan Javier about to face Hershiser. He steps off the mound, pulls a laminated crib sheet from his back pocket, studies it for a moment, then looks in for the sign. If you're Javier, you might wonder, What does he know about me that I don't know?
The A's produced voluminous scouting reports too, but they couldn't have recommended the waist-high fastballs that Oakland pitchers kept throwing to Hatcher. As for a report on Hershiser, well, the Athletics began following him during his streak of scoreless innings, which was a tough time to find a way to score runs off a guy.
FRED CLAIRE. Rome, which is where the original Colosseum is and where O'Malley is sending his front office next month for a vacation, wasn't built in a day, and neither were the Dodgers. But Claire worked awfully fast after taking over as general manager when Al Campanis was ousted in April 1987. First, Claire signed Hatcher, who had been released by the Twins. Then he traded reliever Tom Niedenfuer for Shelby. He traded pitcher Rick Honeycutt to the A's in August '87 for a player to be named later, and the player turned out to be Belcher, whom the A's didn't think was ready for the majors. In a three-way deal with the Athletics and Mets in December, Claire acquired Howell, Griffin and Orosco. In the off-season he signed free agents Gibson, Davis and Rick Dempsey.
The Dodgers' Game 4 victory was a testament to Claire. Belcher got the win, Howell got the save, Hatcher had a key single in the first, Shelby drove in a run later in that inning, and Griffin scored what proved to be the winning run.
Claire won't stand pat this off-season he can't afford to. Even with Gibson healthy, Claire is still short a big bat. He traded Pedro Guerrero to get Tudor, and now Tudor has a career-threatening injury. That means the Dodgers will have to sign Fernando Valenzuela, himself coming off a shoulder injury. And L.A. isn't very strong defensively, though the A's didn't put the ball in play enough to test the Dodgers' fielding.
"We'll see you guys here again," Davis told La Russa in the manager's office after the fifth game. Chances are the Dodgers won't be back soon. But then, the chances were they wouldn't win their division, beat the Mets in the playoffs or destroy the Athletics.
"I feel great about this club," said La Russa. "We played so well for so long. So while I feel bad that we lost, I feel great about the future." Just as La Russa said that, a familiar but unassuming figure walked into the office. "Young man, you were outstanding," La Russa told him. "It was almost a pleasure to watch you."
"I admire your ball club," said Hershiser. And La Russa took his cap off and tipped it to the pitcher.
Over in the Dodger clubhouse, A's coach Rene Lachemann said to Griffin, "I'm happy for you. I'm not happy for me, but I'm happy for you."
Griffin shrugged his shoulders as if to apologize and said, "Crazy game."
"Not so crazy, my friend," said Lachemann.

easy and soooo delicious would like to try this with cherries or strawberries maybe even blueberries
Delicious moist cake and filling. The frosting is amazing. I have used this frosting on other cakes as well. I opted for using real whipped cream instead of frozen whipped topping. The cake disappeared very quickly and was enjoyed by many of my friends. The cake did rise quite high, but my cake pans were high enough that it didn't overflow the top of the pans. Considering the volume of cake, another time I might split it between three 1-1/2 inch high pans. Since I started putting a metal flower nail in the centre of my cake pans, my cakes bake more evenly, and I don't have any problem with the cake sinking in the middle. I could have purchased a heating core for the centre of the pan, but a metal flower nail is cheaper. I think it is unusual for a cake with buttermilk to be dry, so I was surprised to hear anyone say theirs turned out dry.
I tried this twice. The first time with the original recipe in Dec/Jan 2010 and the second with the above revamped recipe. First attempt was the best, but it did sink in the middle. Second attempt had a HUGE mess in my oven. They say "Third time is a charm" but there will be no third time with me. Sure glad I have a self cleaning oven!
I made this for a July 4th picinic and EVERYONE loved it. It did not turn out dry at all, in fact, everyone thought it was pound cake. The cake disappeared in no time. I would make this again in a heart beat. I'm guessing people will request it for the next get together.
The recipe will be updated soon with a couple adjustments for a wonderfully moist cake and it is sure to be a delight at your next celebration!

One of the first guys I ever fooled around with was the textbook definition of white trash. He would have made an excellent Eliza Doolittle in a gay remake of My Fair Lady—if Eliza lived in a trailer, smoked a lot of pot, wore a gold-chain necklace, and had to borrow her sister's car to get to the unemployment office. I won't bore you with the details of the rollercoaster ride that was our six-day love affair. Let's just say it ended with me stirring my sheets around in an iron cauldron with a giant wooden paddle. The whole experience led me to spend a lot of time praying that God would send me a man with a job. Sadly, the employed guys I met in the months that followed made me realize my prayers should have been more specific.
We all have certain dating dealbreakers. They're designed to save us time and frustration, and they're usually the result of years of careful observation. Judging potential partners based on occupation is nothing new, but some job titles are a bigger turn off then others, which leads me to the following question:

Quick notes on apps I'm using with my E71 smartphone:
doesn't do push. I'm not able to push the new tasks in Gmail yet, but email/contacts/calendar is quite nice already.
I'm planning a trip to the US in April/May (Denver and Miami) and want my phone to support me as much as possible during the trip. I usually rely on a good old piece of paper with all the necessary addresses and phone numbers and what not, but I hope it will act mostly as backup from now on.
Update: I've set up Teliax and made a couple test calls, seems pretty good so far. Vonage has seemed on the brink of extinction since pretty much they got started and Skype has never worked quite as well for me (some calls are great, some are crappy, it's always been more uneven in my experience). Plus, Vonage's soft phone is not cheap and I'm not sure there's even one for smartphones. More options means more resilience means less headaches and downtime.
Also: E71 tricks.
Update about push email: Seven sends SMS to the UK in a kind of sneaky way behind your back, and it doesn't work seamlessly with Devicescape Easy Wifi (at least for me). Not sure it's going to be my long term solution, especially given it won't work with messages stored on external memory. I tried Emoze but it doesn't seem to manage folders, at least not the free product. Next: Profimail.

Compassion: The Forgotten Virtue [3]
by Fr. George Morelli [4]
And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick. (Mt 14: 14)
A glance at almost any daily media broadcast will readily show anyone who doubts that many in the world have forgotten the virtue of compassion that this is certainly true. Occasional secular commentators have suggested a variety of sociological causes for this lack. Our holy Spiritual Church Father Nikitas Stithatos notes accurately that lack of compassion is directly connected with our separation from God. He tells us that:
A soul receives either blessings or penalties and punishment according to its inner activities. If it concerns itself with things divine and tills the ground of humility, tears fall like rain from heaven, and it cultivates love of God, faith and compassion for others . . . attracting [others'] attention with the rays of its virtue . . . . But if the soul devotes itself to the mundane and merely human matters, stirring and agitating the fetid waters of sin, it nourishes hatred and repels what is good and beautiful. (Philokalia IV, p. 87-88).
The exact connotation of the word mundane is: a lack of direct connection with God. In today's information technology (IT) world much can be found that not only disconnects us from God, but also actively fosters the disconnection. When this happens, as St. Nikitas so aptly puts it, the "good and beautiful" are repelled and loss of compassion for others is a major consequence.

Jaguars officially ink Evans
As was reported yesterday, the Jaguars have officially signed former Ravens WR Lee Evans according to the team website.
While Evans isn't a top-of-the-line receiver, he's yet another solid guy that certainly adds to the Jaguars less than stellar receiving unit. With this signing, the Jaguars are beginning to look like a very formidable team that could pose many problems for teams in 2012.
Prior to moving to the Ravens in 2011, Evans spent seven seasons with the Buffalo Bills, playing in all but three games for the Bills. Evans has just over 6,000 career receiving yards, and 43 touchdown receptions, all of which came in his time in Buffalo.
With Evans signing, the Jaguars receiving unit now includes Evans, Laurent Robinson, Mike Thomas, Cecil Shorts III, Chastin West, Jarett Dillard, Brian Robiskie, and Taylor Price. Needless to say, the Jaguars won't be keeping all of those guys on the team. There's plenty of speculation as to whether the Jaguars will maintain 5 receivers on their active roster, but that'll all be determined much further down the road.

LOWER PAREL | Namaste Tower - W Hotel | 301 m | 62 fl | U/C
Say Namaste to the Namaste tower! Designed by the Atkins design studio, work IS currently underway on this 300m-62 storeyed mixed use tower that will encompass a hotel, office and retail space. The location is Ambika mills which is a couple hundred meters south of the Shangri-La hotel. The developer of the project is unknown.
The renders and text were submitted by Atkins to the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona (3-5 Nov 2010). Link to project page Namaste: Hotel and Office Tower Category: Future Projects - Commercial Location: Mumbai, India Architects: WS Atkins, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Atkins, United Arab Emirates Following the long tradition of great Indian Architecture it was our aim that the Namaste Tower will stand as a landmark structure, representative of the burgeoning economic and cultural significance of India. We aimed to design a building that would become representative of the city: the picture postcard of Mumbai. Key Statistics: • 120,000 m2 of Gross Construction Area • 380 key luxury hotel • Exclusive restaurants, bars, banqueting and spa facilities • 9,000 m2 of A grade office space • 6,000 m2 of world class retail space • 300 m overall building height "Namaste" The traditional Indian greeting of 'Namaste', where the hands are clasped together in greeting, is the inspiration for the design of this tower. In Sanskrit "Namaste` means "I bow to you`. It has a spiritual significance of negating one's ego in the presence of another. The Architecture of the Namaste Hotel builds on this ancient Indian expression. The two wings of the hotel are clasped together like hands greeting the city of Mumbai. In this way the architectural design of the hotel provides the ultimate symbol of hospitality and welcome, as seen in the as seen in the cultural context of India. Visual Relationships to and from the Site With a proposed height of 300 m the tower will be seen from a distance of more than 40 km. Therefore the visual appearance of the project as a major landmark is of great importance to the city of Mumbai. Views from the tower will extend to the South over the Mahalkshi Race course towards the Mumbai Peninsula and to the South West over the Indian Ocean. The views to the north East are towards a number of adjacent towers that are currently being constructed. The orientation and massing of the tower have been designed in order to make the very best of these visual relationships. The Building Skin The tower has been designed to cater for large scale Indian weddings. The occasion of a Mehndi ceremony (where the hands and feet of the bride and groom are decorated with henna) is often one of the most important pre-wedding rituals in India. The design seeks to build on the theme of the clasped hands by referencing the intricate Mehndi patterns through the treatment of the building skin. The tower is will be clad in fritted glazing that combines to form an architectural scale graphic on the exterior of the building. This will create a sense of transparency and depth to the building while at the same time helping to maintain the thermal qualities required to meet the building's envelope design criteria. It is proposed that the large scale canopies over the drop-off points area support an array of solar thermal collectors. Given the available surface area and annual sunlight conditions these have the potential to provide 12% of the energy required to heat the hot water for the hotel. Location (View on google maps): ^Site prep underway General Arrangement The tower is made up of two separate wings (or hands) which together form the architectural expression of "Namaste". The space between the wings forms the corridor spaces. At either end of the corridor space a pair of open atria will offer hotel guests dramatic framed views out over the city. Internal Atrium Gardens These atria also serve to bring natural light deep into the plan. At the plant floor levels these atria are broken with internal gardens that serve to bring greenery into the corridor and atrium spaces. It was a central design aim to ensure that the circulation areas of the hotel, (including corridors) are just as impressive as the rooms themselves. The Podium The geometry of the podium is designed to integrate fully with the design of the tower. Thus it is a highly symmetrical form that responds to the wing like canopies above the drop off. Containing mostly retail, the facade of the podium is activated with water features and fountains that cascade down to street level. The Summit At the summit of the building a generous quadruple height atrium space encloses a Sky Restaurant and Bar which will provide a unique vantage point for patrons to gain panoramic views out over the city.

The adult "footie" pajama business is apparently alive and well. At least in Charm City.
Hundreds of bicyclists took to the streets Friday night in their best — and funniest — pajamas for the Baltimore Bike Party's November ride. There were couples in matching snow leopard print footies, grown men in dinosaur footies, female bicyclists in full-on bunny footies with ears and cotton tails, a pajama Tony the Tiger look-a-like, and one clown with an airhorn in bright, polka dot footies. (I mean, appeared to be a clown.)
Or maybe that was just his regular nightime wardrobe?
One guy wore a velvet Playboy robe, ala Hugh Heffner, over his animal print PJ's. Another had Batman PJ's, complete with cape.
Several parents brought their kids along for the ride. Some rode in PJ's on their own bikes; the younger ones took in the scene in bike trailers. One bicyclist brought a terrier along in a basket on his bike.
Launched in April with a different theme each month, there's more music it seems at every new Bike Party, too. Depending if you're upfront, in the pack or pulling up the rear — you might have heard anything from "Folsom Prison Gangstaz," a remix of Johnny Cash with Easy E, Scissor Sister's "Take Your Mama," to Notorius B.I.G., Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera and even, Huey Lewis and the News.
There were also a couple of bicycle drummers, literally building a small kit atop their handlebars. (Not recommended for everyone.)
This month's ride went through neighborhoods above Patterson Park and east through Pigtown before wrapping up at the Pratt Street Ale House.
As usual, residents along the route came out to shoot videos, take photos, high-five and occasionally, ask exactly why hundreds of people were making noise and riding down their street at 9 p.m.
"What is this, why ya'll riding?," one man asked, leaning out of his SUV while stopped at a traffic light as hundreds of bicyclists hooted and hollered by.
"It's Baltimore Bike Party!," came the enthusiastic response from several riders pedaling past.
"Oh, it's a bike party," the driver repeated with a smile. And then he turned, and explained — like it should've been perfectly obvious — what was happening to his passenger. "It's a bike party."

The Sawyer® 3 Way Water Filter
If you carry a hydration bladder in your pack, this filter attaches directly in-line on your drink tube with our quick release system and completely eliminates the need to pre-filter your water. With this filter, you can actually attach a tube, and drink safe water directly from your water source making it the lightest filtration system available. It can also be attached to a faucet with the included faucet adapter in emergency situations when you think the water might not be safe to drink. It can also be used as a gravity flow filter for group applications. Unlike most pump style filters, this filter does not have an activated carbon core so the beneficial ingredients in an electrolyte replenishment solution will not be filtered out of your bladder. With 98% of the water flow passing through the hollow fiber membranes, it is a very fast flowing filter. The design of the filter also allows you to back wash and reuse the filter over and over again, thus virtually making this the last filter you will ever need to buy as long as you follow the care and use instructions.
*Filters water with the highest level of filtration available, 0.10 Micron Absolute, other than our 0.02 Micron Absolute filters

In a previous article, I stated my belief that Cordarrelle Patterson is overrated as the so-called "best" wide receiver in the 2013 NFL Draft. To follow that up, I feel obligated to explain who I do think is the best receiver in the draft. I'm not interested in group-think from "experts" telling me who is the best receiver available, so I set out to find that player myself.
His name is Stedman Bailey, and he might be the most underrated player in the draft.
Bailey has been often overshadowed by his fellow receiver, Tavon Austin, who most compare to Percy Harvin and expect to go in the mid-first round of the draft. Unlike Austin, who primarily works from the slot, Bailey is an outside receiver. He is extremely durable, and as consistent as you get. The only concern I could find as to his character was that he was cited, but not arrested, for shoplifting medicine at Kroger Supermarket.
Bailey majored in Criminology while at West Virginia University. Furthermore, he was First Team All-Big East in 2012, and holds the WVU Single-Season Receiving Yards and Touchdown Receptions Records, with 1,622 and 25 respectively.
Height - 5'10"
Weight - 193lbs.
Arm Length - 32.75"
Bench Press - 11 reps.
40-Yard Dash - 4.52 seconds
Vertical Jump - 34.5"
Broad Jump - 117.0"
3 Cone Drill - 6.81 seconds
20-Yard Shuttle - 4.09 seconds
Season | Games | Receptions | Yards | Average | Touchdowns |
2010 | 13 | 24 | 317 | 13.2 | 4 |
2011 | 13 | 72 | 1279 | 17.8 | 12 |
2012 | 13 | 114 | 1622 | 14.2 | 25 |
Total | 39 | 210 | 3218 | 15.3 | 41 |
I decided to compare Bailey to the collegiate production of some top receivers that are currently in the National Football League, as well as his teammate Austin. Austin has a first round grade, so the results are certainly interesting.
Yards per Target
Market Share of Touchdowns
Market Share of Yards
Red Zone Touchdown Rate
- He is incredibly strong and physical, and extremely tough to press off the line of scrimmage. He is very adept at beating jams and getting a clean release.
- He is extremely consistent, both in terms of production and catching the ball. His production jumped every year he was in school, and rarely drops the ball.
- He is excellent at tracking the ball over his shoulder and making difficult catches in traffic.
- He is both a redzone threat and a downfield receiver. Bailey is an excellent route runner, but is smart enough to be adept at adjusting to what the opposing cornerback is doing.
- He has fantastic vision and field awareness.
- He plays much bigger and faster than he is listed.
- Bailey is shorter than an ideal height for an outside receiver.
- He isn't as explosive in the mold of his teammate Austin.
- Honestly, that's all I got.
I like to compare Bailey to Greg Jennings. Although Bailey may be still available in the third round, I would be more than happy to take him in the second. In particular, Bailey would be a fantastic compliment to Jeremy Kerley. He is very nearly a complete receiver. He can stretch the field deep, run excellent routes underneath (perfect for a West Coast Offense), and is a touchdown machine. He is as consistent as it gets, and has a very high floor. I don't know that I've ever been as confident about a player's success as I am about Bailey. If I could only take one receiver in this draft, it would be Stedman Bailey.

El Paso Independent School District will implement an online intervention curriculum from Plato Learning, a developer of K-12 and adult education e-learning solutions. The new content will provide online credit recovery and state test remediation courses to 15 secondary schools in the district, with plans for additional implementation in the future.
"We wanted anywhere, anytime access to our credit recovery and intervention courseware," said Charlie Geach, science facilitator for El Paso Independent School District. "I have worked with online learning for many years, so the Web-based aspect of the Plato Learning curriculum was perfect for our needs."
The district plans to focus the new remediation courses on the Texas Assessment of Skills and Knowledge test. "Plato Learning is the only solution with a diagnostic and prescriptive TAKS (Texas Assessment Knowledge and Skills test) component, which will help our faculty target the specific concepts our students need to learn to succeed on the test," Geach added.
After the program's deployment, the district will track graduation rates, senior test scores, and, eventually, the test scores of incoming freshman for comparison, according to Plato. The district also looks to use the program to assist in the subject-driven exit exams that will be required by the state in 2010.
El Paso Independent School District currently has 63,000 students enrolled on more than 90 campuses.

Replacement from Bolyston :(
I know there are a multitude of "my replacement has scratches" thread but i needed to vent my frustration..
My phone cracked two days ago so I went to the apple store on bolyston to get a replacement iphone 5. After paying the 229+tax, the genius took out a replacement from a white box. tbh, i dont really care if its refurbished or not. As long as its flawless. The genius did a quick pass of the device and then put in my sim card. When he put in my sim card, i assumed it passed his quality check and it was relatively mint. When i went home and started using it, thats when i noticed all the damage. 3 of the four antenna bands have spots where the alumiunum chipped off. I have a pit on the plastic gasket next to the power button. Worst of all, on the right side of the phone, along the bezel, there are 8-10 little dots of aluminum showing. I called the apple store that same night, the person said he i should come down asap. Unfortunately, I rely on public transportation in boston so i wasn't able to come down that same day. He said that he would email his manager and that i should come down tomorrow. I know i'll get it replaced. its just im disappointed that my first replacement was so messed up when it seems alot of people are receiving flawless replacements. It makes me wonder if I have bad luck and will receive another janked up one tomorrow |

The world's biggest seed company never saw Vernon Hugh Bowman coming.
It should have because, beginning in May, 1999, the self-described, 75-year-old eccentric bachelor, who farms 300 acres of corn, soybeans and rusting machinery near Sandborn, IN, wrote the Monsanto Co. letter after letter asking what it thought his rights were under federal patent law and
the technology agreement he signed when he bought, planted and harvested the company's Roundup Ready soybean seed.
The two parties never did agree on those rights and, on Feb. 19, the final argument between them will be take place before the U.S. Supreme Court.
The stakes for farmers and Monsanto are enormous: Bowman seeks to overturn lower and appellate court judgments against him for violating plant patents held by Monsanto when he bought, and later planted and harvested, Roundup Ready (RR) soybeans from a local elevator.
That minor difference - that Bowman bought bin-run beans from a commercial elevator he knew were Roundup Ready that he then planted, harvested and, in subsequent years, replanted - is not minor to the company.
Monsanto's tech agreement, legendary for its ironclad language and the company's iron-fisted enforcement of it, clearly prevents farmers from saving seed for later use if the seed contains Monsanto's patented germplasm.
The company asserts-with an $84,456 judgment and two federal court decisions as proof-that Bowman hoped to leap that legal hurdle by purchasing second generation, commodity beans from the elevator whose owners had no tech agreement because their business was to buy and sell beans, not buy and sell seed beans.
Attorneys for Bowman say his use of elevator seed was legal because Monsanto's patents were exhausted the moment the elevator purchased the commodity beans from farmers. Those patents, they contend, do not extend to subsequent generations of seed.
(Go to http://bit.ly/WPXeuT for links to briefs filed in Bowman v. Monsanto.)
This first sale doctrine is established law. It gives an inventor control over how the patented item, windshield wipers, for example, may be sold or licensed to a car company. When the original owner resells the car, however, the patent holder's grip on the car is exhausted; that is, the second owner is free to use the wipers for, well, free.
Bowman argues that since he bought commodity beans after their first use from an entity not constrained by any agreement, Monsanto's patent protection was exhausted and he was free to use them in whatever manner he chose.
Monsanto's Supreme Court brief maintains that subsequent crops of RR beans planted, grown and harvested by Bowman from the commodity seeds were simply other articles... that have never been sold. Monsanto's patent rights in those soybeans were thus not exhausted.
That explanation sounds tenuous to Peter Carstensen, a law professor at the University of Wisconsin and co-author of an amicus curiae (friend of the court) to the Supreme Court that supports Bowman.
The 'first sale doctrine' has been a 'bright-line' rule of law for well over a century, says Carstensen in a Feb. 8 telephone interview. As such, the Supreme Court will be reluctant to move that line. That job, he suggests, is better left to Congress.
Diana Moss, vice president and senior research fellow at the American Antitrust Institute, which joined the Carstensen-authored amicus, agrees. Granting Monsanto's argument, that self-replicating seed should get an exception under patent law, opens a huge Pandora's Box of antitrust issues that few can foresee, she predicts.
Maybe, but the U.S. government, who the Supreme Court asked to weigh in with its own amicus, argues that Monsanto's patents weren't exhausted because Bowman 'made' new patented articles (the progeny seed) without [Monsanto's] authorization.
Other Monsanto supporters include the American Soybean Association, the National Corn Growers, the National Association of Wheat Growers, the American Sugar Beet Growers and 15 state soybean associations. Their joint friend brief relies less on legal points and more on their belief that weeds are bad and Roundup weed killer is good.
Legal handicappers, while not betting against Monsanto, suggest the company is in a tough fight with a decidedly free-market leaning Supreme Court. A final decision on the case is due about soybean planting time.

Australia's #1 Industrial B2B Marketplace
News Article
Coalition can't unwind NBN, carbon price: independents
01/03/2012 - Two key independent MPs say there's little chance a future coalition government will be able to unwind major policies such as carbon pricing and the national broadband network (NBN). Paul Osborne
Find related suppliers
NSW MPs Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott, who have an agreement to support the Labor minority government, used a National Press Club address on Wednesday to give a report card on the past 12 months in federal politics and their future priorities.
Both independent MPs have been crucial to getting carbon pricing and NBN-related bills through parliament.
Windsor said both policies were important for country Australia and the "divide, divide, divide" tactics of Opposition Leader Tony Abbott would soon start to disenchant voters.
"The longer the parliament goes, the less likely it is that some of these things will get unwound, particularly the NBN, but also some of the climate change issues as well," Windsor said.
"(And) I think people will get sick of this divide, divide, divide, just because it's a good way to run an opposition in a hung parliament."
Both Windsor and Oakeshott said the complexity of unwinding the two policies made it all the more likely Malcolm Turnbull would return to the leadership of the coalition in the future.
Turnbull was dumped in December 2009 after trying to negotiate with former prime minister Kevin Rudd to secure an emissions trading scheme, and the frontbencher is keen to have a national broadband scheme in place but at a lower cost than the government's NBN.
Of the issues to come during the next 18 months, Windsor said improving the science and approval processes behind coal seam gas development and finding a balance between mining and agriculture was a "do-or-die" issue for him.
Windsor said he was confident that a Murray-Darling Basin plan which was true to former Liberal prime minister John Howard's original "vision" could be regulated by the end of the year.
"It will be a great credit to the parliament if we do that," he said.
But he feared education reforms out of the recent Gonski review could fall by the wayside, and wanted to see more effort put into rural health services.
Windsor said the government also needed to tackle the way the mining boom was "hollowing out" other sections of the economy and the impact on regional towns by fly-in fly-out work processes.
Oakeshott said his priorities would be creating jobs in his seat of Lyne, improving health and education spending and getting results from the new food, soil and water sub-committee of cabinet which met for the first time on Wednesday.
Having faced a relentless campaign against him by The Nationals since the election, Oakeshott said he would "continue to ignore the insults and get results".
Oakeshott said that in his first meeting with Julia Gillard since Monday's Labor leadership ballot against Rudd, the prime minister had appeared like a "weight was off her shoulders".
Windsor said he believed Rudd, who is now a backbencher, would "probably retire hurt".
He also revealed that during the post-election negotiations on minority government in 2010 he had put to a meeting between Abbott and frontbenchers Joe Hockey and Andrew Robb the option of a fresh election.
"I remember Joe saying: `For Christ's sake, don't do that. Pick one ... but don't have a fresh election.'," Windsor said.
"Now ... (they) want a fresh election. People should actually concentrate on the parliament they are elected into not the one they would like to be elected into next time."

Well you won't have to worry about being elected into the next one Windsor- You and your kind have killed off any chances of Independants getting votes at the next election -If you are going to be "Independent" you have to grow some "b*lls first.
| 1/03/2012 09:47
"Windsor and Oakeshott said the complexity of unwinding the two policies made it all the more likely Malcolm Turnbull would return to the leadership of the coalition in the future"
Messrs Windsor and Oakeshott cannot be serious. Privately ask any coalition MP whether Turnbull, even with his public popularity, could resume leadership and they will tell you that his "my way or the highway" leadership style, very reminiscent of Mr Rudd's, will never allow that to happen.
Media have conveniently forgotten Mr Abbott's extraordinary electioneering skills and energy.

Rob Oakeshott as usual can't put two intelligent words together. No one listens or cares about what Oakeshott has to say. His vote was bought by labour in the last election, he doesn't care about what's best for 'Country Australia' or he would have backed the coalition in the last election instead of a minority government that lives and breaths "divide, divide, divide" within their own party. The next election can't come quick enough for me, I've had labour up to here.

Get of it and get on with life.
I grew up in an Australia that got on with life and worked hard and played hard. We all critised those who constantly winged.
And that is exactly how you people sound now.
Winge, Winge, Winge, Winge and Winge.
Show some respect and get on with it!

Jim H - One gathers that you are retirement age or very close to it - comfortable super - grew up in the days when small businesses - cornershops etc. were around - no giant monopolies - guy who worked hard got on and prospered ? Well some people are not in that fortunate position - they battle hard and get nowhere - lose their businesses - or earn a decent wage and continually get hit with "flow on Taxes"& are better off on the dole - spend half their wages filling up the family car - people like you who say and do nothing about this present situation (in case you are branded a whinger)have contributed to this situation . So before criticising -others that do question the status quo have a good look in the mirror and see if you're one of those people.
| 2/03/2012 16:36
The great thing about Australia Jim H is that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Perhaps you could show a little respect to those who wish to have their sa on important issues that affect their lives.
| 3/03/2012 16:41
I agree with you 100% dave d and being a small business owner for the past 10 years, I have never seen our economy in such bad shape. This dysfunctional government is killing-off the spirit of this Nation that made it the best country in the world. The constant intervention into our lives, their failed policies, wasted taxes and our growing national debt, as well as their ego-driven, self-centered attitudes toward the voters, will see this Government remembered as the worst since Federation. Jim H... call me a whinger if you like but, I can't wait to see the back of these incompetent fools that are running our Country into the ground.

Slideshow: Path to Collaborative Care Paved with Risk, Revenue
The potential of collaborative care to lower costs and improve healthcare quality and outcomes is coming online rapidly. More than two thirds (69%) of healthcare leaders are in at least the early stages of considering participation in a formal collaborative care model and one quarter are already participating in one.
>>>View slideshow |
The path, however, is not free of roadblocks. Exclusive research conducted by HealthLeaders Media finds that:
- Seventy-eight percent of collaborative care models will be fully operational by 2014.
- The greatest roadblocks to adopting collaborative care with physicians are their desire to remain independent (21%), a lack of buy-in (17%), and a lack of trust (14%).
- Forty-five percent of healthcare leaders are concerned about achieving cost savings from collaborative care, and 40% fear an exposure to financial risk.
In the most recent intelligence report, Collaborative Care: Hospitals Balance Risk and Revenue With Physicians and Payers, we analyze data collected from senior healthcare executives, examining both the risk and rewards associated with collaborative care.

Today I'm bringing you something a bit different than usual, but undoubtedly a treat--a guest post complete with bonus story from the fabulous Emma Newman, set in the world of her forthcoming fantasy novels for adults with good taste. The first, The Split Worlds: Between Two Thorns, will be out soon (pretty cover to the right). I'll let her tell you what this is all about....
Emma Newman: In 2013 the marvellous Angry Robot books will be publishing three Split Worlds novels, the first is out in March and called "Between Two Thorns." This story is part of a crazy thing I decided to do before I got the book deal and was forging ahead with the project on my own: releasing a new story every week for a year and a day, hosted on a different site every time, all set in the Split Worlds. I wanted to give readers a taste of my kind of urban fantasy and have the opportunity to build in secrets and extra tit-bits for those people who, like me, love the tiny details. It's also been a major part of my world-building work alongside writing the novels.
This is the forty-second tale in the year and a day of weekly short stories set in The Split Worlds. If you would like me to read it to you instead, you can listen here. You can find links to all the other stories, and the new ones as they are released here. You can also sign up to get the stories delivered to your inbox, one per week for a year and a day.
The first part of this story can be read here or listened to here.
Story starts behind the cut tag:
