The Tolkien Society's recent announcement that 25th March would be Tolkien Reading Day was met with enthusiasm by schools and libraries around the world.
The event was aimed at encouraging the use of Tolkien's works in education and to get schoolteachers and library staff to participate in reading Tolkien to their classes and in their libraries. Schools from across Britain and around the world took part. Reading day events, or information about how to put them on, occurred in places as near as Birmingham and Essex and as far apart as Venezuela, or Illinois, New York and Mississippi, USA. Events included readings to classes, getting reading groups to read and discuss chapters from The Lord of the Rings, or even act them out dramatically. At one school in Essex there were readings from a variety of Tolkien's works, comparisons between Roman and elven alphabets and a discussion with ninety 6-12 year olds of Tolkien, Star Wars and Harry Potter. In Peoria, Illinois, Professor Mike Foster (the Society committee's North American Representative) gave a lecture on travel through literature including readings from The Lord of the Rings. The event in New York organised by Heren Istarion, the Society's New York smial, at Marymount Manhattan College included readings, a trivia quiz, demonstrations by Games Workshop of their games and prizes were sponsored by Houghton Mifflin (Tolkien's US publishers), SideshowWETA and New Line Cinema. Admittedly the event ran on the 29th but this was due to time and venue constraints; remember the Tolkien Society and all its local groups are run by volunteers in their spare time.
The Tolkien Reading Day event also highlighted the recent completion of an Education Section within the Society's website, which Tolkien fans in education (pupils and teachers) can use to assist learning and teaching. The pages can be downloaded and printed off free of charge by educationalists. Please note the texts on these pages are copyright of the Tolkien Society and East Lothian Museums. The Education pages comprise a range of ideas for teachers of Citizenship at Key Stage one (infants) using The Father Christmas Letters, to ideas for university lecturers working on Middle English texts like Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Some of the information has been developed from our responses to questions the Society has been sent by schoolchildren from around the world.

Warm Donation
Black Pride brings in the coats
by Yusef Najafi
Published on February 7, 2008, 12:00am | Comments

[File photo by Todd Franson]
D.C. Black Pride has donated 14 bags of coats, about $1,000 and food items to Damien Ministries, collected during a Jan. 31 coat drive at Mahogany Restaurant and Lounge, 2001 11th St. NW.
''It was a very successful event,'' remarked D.C. Black Pride Vice President Ray Daniels. ''I think that quite often, people in all communities focus on charitable contributions and donations of food and clothing during the holiday season and forget about the...months that follow when the cold weather really kicks in. So we wanted to have an event to let the community know that we are active all the time.''
Damien Ministries is an HIV/AIDS organization in Northeast that is inspired by the Catholic Church.
''It's an organization that we've worked with before and we respect them and the work that they do,'' Daniels said, adding that some proceeds from D.C. Black Pride's Memorial Day weekend event were donated to two other local, non-profit organizations: Transgender Health Empowerment and Different Avenues.
''I'd like to stress the fact that we made the donations and ask that people continue to support us,'' Daniels said. ''Ultimately that is our purpose for organizing the Memorial Day activities.''

Every time I read about paying a college athlete, I think "Give me break." While I will admit the life of a college athlete can be hard, I can't imagine that it is any harder than the kid working two or three jobs to pay for classes or the student who works crap jobs for a school as part of a work study program. The fact is that a scholarship athlete gets room, board and tuition paid for, that is payment. Once the athlete graduates (if they choose to take advantage of the opportunity given them through the scholarship they recieved) they can many times utilize the recognition and connections that comes from playing for a university sports program into non-sports opportunities after school. That seems like fair payment to me. The problem is not payment, it is that more attention is given to the athletes that fail to take advantage of the opportunity given them than the ones who take full advantage of the fantastic opportunity college sports afford them.
@scottlester What do you think about players being paid stipends that are based on the stipends that are typically paid to academic scholarship holders? Those stipends are intended to cover the misc costs that students tend to take on as being a student but aren't covered by typical room/board/books. I think the number thrown around last summer was 2K per year.

September 7, 1999, in Colombo, Sri Lanka
Kumara, chief editor of the pro-opposition Sinhala-language newspaper Satana, was shot and killed by unidentified gunmen at around 10 p.m. as he traveled in a taxi to his home in the Colombo suburb of Mirihana. The gunmen reportedly fled the scene in a silver Toyota 300 car. Kumara had received a phone call earlier that night notifying him that a group of men had entered his home and had threatened to harm his wife if she did not reveal her husband's whereabouts.The motive for the killing was unclear, but journalists in Sri Lanka feared Kumara may have been murdered for his work. CPJs sources characterized Satana (Battle) as a controversial tabloid paper with a reputation for attacking the government and uncovering personal and political scandals.
The opposition United National Party financed Satana, though it had previously received funding from the People s Alliance coalition when that party was in the opposition, according to the Colombo-based Free Media Movement. The People's Alliance leader, Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga, has since been elected president of Sri Lanka.
On September 9, CPJ sent a letter to President Kumaratunga condemning Kumara's murder and urging her ensure that the case was thoroughly investigated. Though President Kumaratunga did indeed order an immediate investigation, local journalists told CPJ at year's end that police appeared to have abandoned the case.
Motive Unconfirmed: CPJ is investigating to determine whether the death was work-related.

Muse puts the fun into functional wine packaging
2. Four three-bottle carriers equipped with double-layer-thick handles for convenient, sturdy hand holds.
3. Bottles topped with easy-open, reusable closures (see sidebar).
Continuity is maintained across all three package layers using playful, impactful graphics created by Solomon staff, including Dave Garset, whom Heron describes as "an awesome graphic designer."
All in all, this complex packaging development project compelled Solomon personnel to rely on vendors that were as meticulous as they were.
Innovation on display
The display case, developed hand-in-glove with the carrier, measures 13 x 131⁄2 x 91⁄2 in. The case, constructed of B-flute corrugated, and the carriers, made of E-flute corrugated, are printed offset in five colors and supplied by Pacific Southwest Container (www.teampsc.com). Solomon managers credit PSC, especially Ryan Perkins, with input on the packaging, which was developed over an 18-month period.
Solomon's marketing director Rich Boone, a 30-year industry veteran, says the display-ready shipper is an integral part of the total package. "This is the first effort to make the shipper an active part of the total personality of the brand" he notes. "It doesn't end with the bottle."
The case sets up in several steps, starting with removal of a perforated strip along the top that runs down the side panel, across the front bottom, and then back diagonal across the other side panel. That leaves triangular pieces along the side panels—that are discarded—and frees the top panel, which is then tucked inside two half-moon-shaped die-cuts in the case's back panel. That permits the upraised back panel to provide a prominent billboard of the Muse character, which peers out invitingly over the case of carrier-packed bottles.
The carriers measure 91⁄4 x 91⁄4 x 3 and feature double-thick handles that fold up for use and die-cut openings on the end panels that provide a window to the bottle's label.
"We have learned that a typical wine purchase in a store is two to three bottles, so we came up with a way to help customers very easily leave the store carrying three bottles versus one," Heron says, adding that "no one else has engineered a collapsible three-pack for wine bottles." The auto-bottom carriers, which can be easily erected and folded flat, are shipped flat to the bottling operations and later can be quickly flattened by retailers if desired.
Solomon cites studies that indicated that at the wine's $12/bottle price point, the average consumer purchases 2.6 bottles. It expects the three-count carriers to help push that figure upwards toward a nicely even 3.0.
"We're encouraging carryout by about half a bottle, which is going to impact the retailer's bottom line as well as ours," says Boone. He expects many retailers to display the display-ready case opened, while others will set the carriers aside to permit consumers to mix and match the varietals without deconstructing the impactful display.
Heron also feels that the three-pack is an ideal, ready-to-go club-store format that's quickly drawn interest. "As is, it fits all that the clubs are looking for," he says.
Boone even credits the packaging for a bump in tasting-room sales—an important part of the winery's business.
As in most projects, trial and error played a crucial role. "We went through about five carrier-pack iterations, to make it durable to handle consumer abuse," says Heron. "One of the greatest challenges was designing the carrier in such a way that it would collapse flat, which no one's ever done before with a three-pack carrier."
Bemusing bottle
Packed inside each carrier compartment is a 750-mL bottle of Muse wine. The hock-style, "dead leaf green"-colored glass bottle is provided through Trilogy Packaging (www.trilogyglass.net). Heron describes the previous bottle as a bowling-pin shape in keeping with the Muse theme and with a T-cork closure.
The bottle labels, printed in six colors and foil hot stamping on 60# paper, are produced by Labeltronix (www.labeltronix.com). "Labeltronix was able to bring the crispness of color and everything that we were looking for in the label in record time," says Boone.
The packaging components join together via a major assist by Trilogy. "They've worked very well with us in helping to bring all the pieces of the puzzle together," says Heron. The carriers and cases are shipped flat from PSC to Trilogy, which handles the packaging assembly in which empty bottles are inserted inverted into the carriers inside a bottom-sealed case. The cases, now functioning as reshippers, are sent to the winery where Muse is bottled by a mobile operation of the kind that serves many wineries throughout California. For bottling, the cases are inverted and the bottles drop out through the case's unsealed top flaps. After the bottles are filled, labeled and sealed, they are repacked back into the carriers in the cases and the display-ready case is top glue-sealed and ready for distribution to retailers.
Juggling success
From the outside in, Solomon's Muse presents a layered packaging innovation, a credit to a small, entrepreneurial company's ability to juggle a major, multileveled project of packaging inventiveness. It's a manifestation of the company's mission statement, which reads, "The Solomon Wine Company is dedicated to pioneering new wine concepts delivered to consumers and innovative ways providing a total consumer experience that consistently exceeds their expectations."
And the results have been what Solomon manager have hoped: Heron says Muse is generating interest from the bigger chains in the West and beyond, including chains such as Cost Plus World Markets.
He says that reaction to the wine and its packaging has been "electric" at every level, including crucial buy-in from those he calls "the gatekeepers"—the distributors who determine what products will be sold at retail. "The merits of our packaging and what it can accomplish at retail helps us move 'up the ladder' in terms of consideration," states Heron.
Besides the technical and market breakthroughs the packaging provides, Solomon management also take personal satisfaction in the development. "It's fun to watch the chain buyers' reactions when we show the packaging," says Heron.
"It's like the chef watching the guests enjoy the food. You can see their eyes light up when they see that this is something consumers will enjoy. Those who saw merit in Muse before now see true merit in the packaging as a way to help drive more business.
"This project has been a joy and a blessing," he adds, just the kind of reaction one might expect from a company inspired by the mythological source of inspiration.

Emmanuel shines in a duet with himself on this gorgeous acoustic performance.
Tool's axman reveals the 10 guitarists that inspire his own far-out six-string style.
Tom Scholz releases Boston's Life, Love & Hope, an album 11 years in the making.
Everyone knows about Jack White and Iggy Pop, but sadly, musicians of the other gender are often overlooked. Regardless of the reason, it seems girls don't get the same recognition as their male counterparts in a genre that respects how hard you play the guitar as much as how well. These three women, however, have created some great garage rock and deserve your attention.
Being a professional musician looks like one of the coolest things a person is paid to do, and I'm sure it usually is. There's the road tripping, the stalker-like enthusiasm of fans and the freedom to pursue almost any twisted vice you can come up with.
Some albums heap sophistication on every track, burdening each chord with subtlety and making listeners work for every sonic breakthrough. They are albums that are best heard through headphones while staring plaintively at the wall, absorbing every nuance. Like Radiohead.
Here's a photo gallery of Jack White, Gary Clark Jr. and Alabama Shakes performing at the 2012 Sasquatch! Music Festival, which took place this past weekend -- May 25 to 28 -- at The Gorge Amphitheatre in Gorge, Washington.
Born and raised in Denmark, pedal steel guitarist Maggie Björklund wasn't content to settle in with just ANY instrument. Now appearing live with Jack White, Björklund is thrilled to bring the pedal steel guitar to stages and TV studios worldwide! Early in her career, Björklund was best known in Europe as a guitarist for the all-girl country band, The Darleens, and experimental pop group, Miss B Haven.
It seems fitting that my first review to be featured in my Oil Slick blog -- a blog about garage rock -- addresses a solo album by one of the genre's most prolific artists, Jack White -- even though he has already removed himself from the landscape his guitar helped carve.
Jack White is heading back to the States next week, but for the time being, he's still tearing it up in Europe.
Remember the early part of the 2000s? The time when every critic and their brother was saying this was going to be the "Age of Garage Rock?" Artists like the Strokes, the Vines, the Hives, the White Stripes (plus the rest of Detroit) and the Black Keys were all breaking onto the scene, leading many to proclaim we had entered into a golden era in raw riffage.
As part of the Third Man Records Vault subscription series, the White Stripes will be releasing a "new" live DVD, Under New Zealand Lights.
Jack White's new album, Blunderbuss, will be released April 24, and we've posted previews and videos of two singles, "Sixteen Saltines" and "Love Interruption." But for those of you who wonder what inspires White these days -- let alone what a blunderbuss is -- The New York Times has the answer: death (not the band, of course).

Tokyoflash: Telling Time With The Negative
Tokyoflash is back at it, this time with a wicked new design -- The Negative. The appropriately named device tells time using the negative space created by lit LEDs.
Available in polished silver or polished black, Negative's LCD screen is always displaying the time, allowing the wearer to read it with a quick glance. What really brings this design to life is its multi color LED light guide. At the touch of a button, the display can be backlit with one of seven user selectable colors, a feature which is most impressive at night.
The watch can display time both vertically and horizontally, and will set you back about $162. I'm really digging it. The Negative. Speaking of which, guess what -- the test came back and I AM NOT THE FATHER! This can only mean one thing -- my girlfriend is slut positive.

Ford EcoBoost Demand Booms as Overall EV Sales Soften

Consumers choose fuel efficient normal vehicles over EVs and hybrids
Despite the fact that gas prices are at record levels in many parts of the country, the sales of electric vehicles are still falling. Many consumers are staying away from electric vehicles due to the relatively high cost of entry and range anxiety (in the case of the Nissan Leaf).
Two of the most popular electric vehicles in the country are the
Chevrolet Volt
and the Nissan Leaf. The Volt isn't a traditional electric vehicle; rather it's an extended range hybrid that runs on battery power and features a generator to recharge the battery for extended driving. GM says that in the month of April 2012 1,462 Volts were sold, which represents 200% increase from April of 2011 when 493 were sold.
April was the second best month for retail sales of Volt cars since it launched in 2010. Interestingly, the good month for Volt sales comes not long after
GM suspended production
of the car due to soft demand.
Chevrolet Volt sales are up.
While sales of the Volt were up, the Nissan Leaf saw sales fall 35% with only 370 units sold. Nissan hopes to sell 20,000 Leaf EVs this year, and will have to sell over 2200 monthly to meet that goal.
While electric vehicle sales are down, Ford has a booming business with its fuel-efficient
EcoBoost-powered vehicles
. Ford has announced that it has started a third shift at the Cleveland plant that builds EcoBoost engines.
The addition of a third shift to the engine building plant will add 250 jobs. However, most of those positions will be filled by employees that are transferring from a different Cleveland engine plant that will be placed on idle later this week.
The 2013 Ford Fusion will offer two EcoBoost four-cylinder engine options.
"Our engine plant in Cleveland is the first and only facility in North America to produce EcoBoost engines, and we are tripling production capacity to meet customers' growing needs for fuel-efficient engines," said Ford Americas President Mark Fields during a celebration with employees at the plant Tuesday. "EcoBoost engines are a key part of our plan to give customers the power of choice — from EcoBoost-powered vehicles and hybrids, to plug-in hybrids and full electrics."
Ford's EcoBoost engine has found its way the under the hood of everything from
full-sized trucks
small economy vehicles
. EcoBoost engines use a smaller displacement engine with turbochargers for increased power and fuel efficiency.

There is a lot going on that was not mentioned in the article
Most of the article was about how poorly EVs are selling, but if you start digging, Ford has a LOT of interesting plans going forward that involve EcoBoost. For those who don't know, EcoBoost is really just Turbo that has been tuned with economy being one of the goals.
Now, for most people, the idea of turbo is more horsepower, so you aim for more horsepower from it for a "fun" experience. Ford is going the other way, replace larger conventional engines with smaller engines that get the EcoBoost approach, so you end up with the same amount of horsepower in a smaller engine, and this results in better fuel economy. For the Fiesta, going from a 4 cylinder engine that delivers 120ish horsepower to a 3 cylinder EcoBoost engine that delivers around the same horsepower will result in better fuel economy. For the Focus, going from a 2.0L at 160 horsepower(2012 model year) would add a 1.6L EcoBoost engine that can hit close to 180 horsepower(or 160, depending on how it is tuned). For small trucks and SUVs, going EcoBoost means you can get a fairly powerful 6 cylinder engine while delivering the power of a v8.
That is the direction Ford is going in with EcoBoost, the same or better horsepower that gives you better fuel economy. The idea that Ford is reserving this for only the highest trims is really more about the idea of scaling up demand and the ability to get production up for the EcoBoost engines. If they make EcoBoost available across the entire product range before they have the production for the engines scaled up, it will hurt, and boosting production too soon before availability will also hurt. So, they are working to increase production capacity, but not before there is enough demand to justify it.
Going off on a bit of a tangent(which many people did already), the Fusion gets a fairly significant overhaul for the 2013 model year, so all these numbers for the Fusion Hybrid that have been talked about is already close to going out the window. The Focus right now(2012 model year) has a number of features that just were not in the Fusion, and that is being addressed in the 2013 Fusion. It SHOULD be very interesting to see how much of an improvement it will end up being, but the regular Focus at this point is worlds better than the older generations(2011 model year and earlier).
So, EcoBoost is a positive sign for things going forward, and it will be interesting how GM responds.

Recipe by funinthesun
"This spicy, slow-cooked dish of chicken, potatoes, and carrots is best accompanied by white sticky rice. This is very, very spicy."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
2 pinches black pepper
3 pinches salt
2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large onion, cut into eighths
3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup water
Imade this last night. I cut back slightly on the flakes and the paste since it was the first time. I added more when it was done. It was very good. My kids, 5 and 9 and hubby loved it. Made with sushi rice. MMMMMmmm!
Overall this is tasty and received good reviews from the family, but next time would cut the soy sauce in half (it is very salty otherwise) and add some greens - bok choy, green beans - to make this a one-pot meal.
25 Ratings
I basically browned up the chicken a bit then dumped everything else in. Used baby carrots. No salt. 1/4 cup Korean soy with kelp. Probably more than a cup of water because it thickened up and needed it. Kimchi on the side. It's like a stew/chili. Delicious!
picture stirfry turned stew. this is very yummy and spicy. i added red peppers and brocolli for some colour and vitamins. we seved it over basmati rice. i will definatly make this again. if you have a cold or just want to be cozy, this is the meal for you!
Great meal. Will cook this again and again.
This was delicious! I've never had this dish before so I don't know how authentic it was but I really loved it. I only used 1Tbsp crushed red pepper and I didn't have gochujang, so I used 2 Tbsp Thai Chili Garlic Paste. I was glad I cut the heat a little, it still had plenty of kick! I served it with rice but it would have been great without it. Delicious...will definitely make again.
This was pretty good. I cut back slightly on the red pepper and the paste, but would probably follow the recommended amounts next time. I did add a little more water and some red and yellow bell pepper. I also used low sodium soy sauce and didn't add any additional salt. Good reviews from my dinner companions!
Very good, quick and simple meal that I will make again. As the description stated, this one is very spicy. I cut back a little on the crushed red pepper flakes, and I did not have the Korean hot pepper paste but used the hunan red chili sauce that I had instead. Also, I knew I would want sticky rice with this dish (in my opinion you must eat this with rice) so I omitted the potatoes and threw in some celery. I just didn't see us eating potatoes and rice. Very good.

November 23, 2007
I am constantly searching and thinking
about and learning more about the Twins and their players. I have an opinion on
everything and am always more than happy to talk Twins with anyone. I have my
thoughts as a pretend Twins GM. I have my thoughts as a pretend manager. That's
what we do as bloggers. But we also all just are big
Twins and baseball fans and want to know information right away. I feel as up
to the minute on Twins info as anyone.
So that is why what happened on Thursday
was really strange to me and completely through me off. I went to bed fairly
early on Wednesday night. Although I was up early Thursday morning, I was busy
packing and preparing for a trip north for Thanksgiving. And on the 2+ hour drive
to our final destination, we listened to Elmo and the
I was surprised first that Hunter had made
his decision, but especially with the decision to go to the Angels. The money? Well, it actually wasn't quite as much as I had
thought, and in reality, it was probably not as much as he could have got had
he played the free agent game a little bit longer.
What will the Angels OF look like? I mean,
they signed Gary Matthews Jr to a five year, $50 million contract to play CF just one year ago.
However, they could move Matthews to left field, and they could have a pretty
strong 2/3 of the outfield and RF Vlad Guerrero can
make up for his lack of speed with his strong arm. Then I started thinking that
in four years, they are going to have three outfielders that will be 36-38
years old and each will have likely spent plenty of time on the DL already.
Then what?
That is the point in which I remembered
just how happy I was that the Twins did not up their offer to the 32 year old
Hunter. Should they have thrown an option year into their offer? Maybe, but
that wouldn't have mattered. Five years for Hunter is just crazy! And that is
why I am happy that he is now officially gone.
Now, many of you think that I have had it
out for Hunter for awhile, trying to get rid of him. And that is true. I think
that he had an excellent last two months in 2006, right before there was a huge
decision on whether to pick up his option. He also had a very strong 2007
season when he knew he would be a free agent. Don't forget, his one other big
season came in 2002, ironically, a contract year.
His leadership and team and winning attitude is touted. He certainly was the
voice of the franchise and the guy the media loved, for good reason. But what
happened when things went bad for the Twins the past couple of years? Well, let's
see. First, he got hurt and left the team. Then he decided to show up in
September only to bash the Twins top two hitting prospects. He threw a punch
intended for Justin Morneau only to hit Nick Punto. Then what? That's right, he left again. And what about in 2007. He continually bashed Joe Mauer for not playing hurt. Well, Mauer
was hurting more than people knew. And, as Aaron Gleeman has pointed out
before, who has missed more games in the last two years, Hunter or Mauer? (Note – the answer is Hunter)
The big problem I had is the years though.
And that is why it may surprise some to hear me say (or read me type?) that I
do think that the Twins roster is not as good today as it was a couple of days
ago. Hunter did have a very good 2007 season. He was probably the Twins most
consistent (positive) performer. He did a lot of good things to help put the
Twins in position to win games. Is he really still a gold glove CF? That's
debatable but he was better in 2007 than he was in 2006 or 2005.
I am very curious to see how Torii will do
out on the west coast. The Angels go into the 2008 as the likely AL West preseason pick to win the division and they have a very
strong pitching staff. Hunter is likely to hit somewhere around 5th
or 6th, similar to where he hit with the Twins. He will be playing
on grass, which should be a very good thing for him. He will live up being in
LA! It will be interesting to see what the Angels do now. Will they now be more
willing to give up more to get Miguel Cabrera? Will they go after Johan
Santana? We shall see.
As for the Twins, I know many casual fans
seem to think that this is the beginning of the end, and I for one am not yet
ready to concede that. There is just too much talent on the 2008 roster to just
pack it in and completely rebuild. They still have Joe Mauer
and Justin Morneau and Johan Santana and Joe Nathan
and Michael Cuddyer. Francisco Liriano
is coming back and young, talented pitchers like Matt Garza, Kevin Slowey and Scott Baker are around. This is in no way an indication
of a team that is giving up next season.
However, the team was willing to pay Torii
Hunter $15 million a year for the next three years. My big question to
management would be, how are you going to use that
money now? How will they replace Torii Hunter on the roster? And no, I don't
want them to go out and sign another $15 million. Signing Aaron Rowand for $14-15 million a year is not the answer.
However, they could get two really good players at key strategic positions for
that $15 million. In reality, I would be happy if they spent $11-12 million of
that 'available' money on a couple of players in free agency or trades. They
should then use the remaining money to take the best available players with
their two first round draft choices and their supplemental draft choice and be
able to sign them. That's what the Yankees have done the last two years with Joba Chamberlain and Ian Kennedy!
Johan Santana didn't accept the Twins
offer of 5 years and $93 million (and he probably shouldn't have), but that was
also a very fair offer by the Twins. He wants $126 million. That is fair market
value. The Twins can not afford to pay him fair market value, but if Santana
really wants to stay with the Twins, they will still be able to meet in the
However, it would also not be stupid of
the Twins to consider dealing Santana, and we have been through this before.
Again, if they do that, that does not mean that the
team will be giving up on the 2008 season. Santana pitches one in five games,
that's it. There are still a lot of other games to be won when he isn't
pitching. The return for Santana would have to be great, and it has to be more
than a 1st round pick and a supplemental first rounder. Those chips
can keep the Twins competitive AND competitive for years to come.
Joe Nathan was apparently offered four
years and $40 million. I don't know if he would take that but it is certainly
below his market value (thanks Mariano!). Very fair offer by the Twins, but if
Nathan says no, that is well within his rights. Because he is making just $6
million, I would keep him until the July Trade Deadline and see where they are.
He would be a lock to be a Type A free agent and
getting the two draft picks for him would make a lot of sense. Again, no step backward and there are several internal options
available to fill the role.
Carl Pohlad is
loaded. I believe he is the richest owner in major league baseball. But he
didn't get to be
rich by being stupid. He is (or at least was and his sons now are) a smart
businessman. Signing Torii Hunter for more than three years makes little sense.
Having Johan Santana take up 25-30% of your payroll makes little sense. Having
a guy that will pitch 70 innings making $10 million does not make sense. Let
the other guys do that and lets just play the games and see what happens. A lot
can still be done.
This is an offseason
of change for the Twins. It will be tough for a lot of Twins fans to deal with.
But we just have to remember that the Winter Meetings haven't even started. The
Twins haven't even made a real deal yet (
I know. People want me to be more grumpy and be more negative, but you won't find that
from me here. Not yet at least.
I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this topic over the weekend or whenever. Please feel free to e-mail me and I will get back to you as I have time. I certainly hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving!

Spotlight On A Breed: Beagles
Weight: 18-35 lbs
Height: 13-16 inches
Coat: Smooth coat
Color: tri-color (most common), two color (tan and white), various others
Beagles are a mid-sized breed with a generally lean body, a broad chest, and eyes that appear to be pleading much like a bloodhounds. Eye color is typically brown or hazel. Strong jaw and neck makes them excellent at tug games or at working over bully sticks or similar chews.
Beagles are even tempered and are a great family dog, as they get along great with children and other dogs. They are playful and while they can be standoffish towards strangers at first, they can easily be won over. For this reason, Beagles are typically very poor guard dogs, though their tendency to howl or bark does make them good watch dogs.
Beagles are pack animals and can be prone to separation anxiety. Intelligent, they have been bred for the long chase and can thus be very single-minded and determined, which can make them hard to train, though they do respond to training with dog treats.

In Douglas v. Independent Living Center of Southern California [transcript, PDF; JURIST report], the court heard arguments on whether the Supremacy Clause preempts Medicaid recipients and providers from bringing a suit challenging a California state law that reduces reimbursement rates. Medicaid providersdoctors, hospitals and pharmaciesare angry over a series of cutbacks by the California legislature reducing reimbursement payments in an attempt to handle the state's financial crisis. Lawyers for the state argued that the providers have no right to challenge the reimbursement rates and that they do not have any right to a particular rate of reimbursement. The case is consolidated with Douglas v. Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital and Douglas v. California Pharmacists Association.
Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa [official profile] announced in August that he will dismiss charges against some of the protesters [JURIST report] detained for their participation in pro-democracy demonstrations in the country. In June, Khalifa announced that an independent commission will investigate human rights violations [JURIST report] related to the country's pro-democracy protests. Earlier that month, the OHCHR announced that Bahrain agreed to permit a UN commission [JURIST report] to investigate human rights violations related to protests. The National Safety Courts were instituted in mid-March under Khalifa's three-month state of emergency [JURIST report] and have been internationally criticized, most recently [JURIST report] by Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website]. The court sentenced nine citizens [JURIST report] to 20 years in prison for kidnapping a police officer in May. In April, the court handed the death sentence to four protesters, a rarity in Bahrain, and upheld the sentences [JURIST reports] for two of the men who were accused of murdering police officers. All of the charges levied in the National Safety Court have been disputed by Bahraini citizens and international rights organizations.
In July, the UN denied reports [JURIST report] it instructed the ECCC to close further investigations into war crimes committed under the Khmer Rouge regime after the controversial closing of Case 003. Doubts about the legitimacy and independence of the ECCC have been raised since the decision to close ECCC Case 3. In June, a coalition of more than 30 rights groups and development organizations in Cambodia issued an open letter [JURIST report] urging the ECCC to embrace a greater degree of transparency. Earlier that week, ECCC judges ordered Co-Prosecutor Andrew Cayley to retract public statements requesting further investigation [JURIST report] into Case 3. Cayley said the information was released pursuant to tribunal rules "to ensure that the public is duly informed about ongoing ECCC proceedings." The judges, however, said Cayley breached the tribunal's confidentiality and ordered the retraction. The only ECCC conviction since its founding in 2006 is of Kaing Guek Eav [ECCC backgrounder; JURIST news archive], better known as "Duch," a former prison chief at the notorious Toul Sleng prison under the Khmer Rouge. In March, he appealed his 35-year sentence for war crimes and crimes against humanity handed down by the ECCC [JURIST reports] last July.
The law was written in response to a ballot measure proposed in San Francisco, the Male Genital Mutilation bill [text]. The proposed measure would have made male circumcision illegal in San Francisco if the recipient is under the age of 18, with perpetrators penalized by a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment. In July, a judge for the Superior Court of San Francisco [official website] ruled in Jewish Community Relations Council of San Francisco v. Arntz [materials] that the public referendum to ban circumcision could not appear on the ballot [JURIST report]. Male circumcision is a religious practice in both Judaism and Islam, so there was an immediate protest to the initiative. Advocates for ending male circumcision believe it is a painful and archaic procedure that nets no benefits to the circumcised male. They frequently compare the practice to female genital mutilation, which is illegal under Title 18 [text] of the US Code.
Ocampo officially requested permission [JURIST report] from ICC judges in June to begin the investigation into the Ivory Coast after determining that war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed. The Ivory Coast announced earlier in that month that it would establish its own commission [JURIST report] to investigate alleged crimes committed as a result of the disputed presidential elections. This investigation may take up to two years [Reuters report]. Also, an official for the UN's International Commission of Inquiry called for an investigation [JURIST report] into Ouattara and his forces' continuing attacks against supporters of Gbagbo. In April, Human Rights Watch [advocacy website] urged Ouattara to conduct an investigation [JURIST report] into alleged atrocities carried out by his forces in its attempts to secure the presidency. According to the report, the pro-Ouattara forces, known as the Republican Forces of the Ivory Coast, killed more than 100 civilians, raped at least 20 supporters of Gbagbo and burned at least 10 villages in March. Also in April, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) [official website] reported the deaths of at least 800 civilians [JURIST report] in the Ivory Coast town of Duekoue as a result of intercommunal violence.

Bring the cable into the vehicle through a door frame - the cable is protected by the doors rubber molding. Do not run the cable through a window because when the window is rolled up and the door is opened the antenna's cable will be pulled - this is likely to destroy your antenna and/or scratch your paint.

Women and Migranes
It's estimated that women are three times more likely than men to suffer from migraines. The incidence of migraines in women is about 18%. In men the incidence is about 6%.Â
Neurologist Marc Schlosberg says the difference may be attributed to monthly hormonal changes among women. In women there is a strong association between migraines and estrogen. In particular it's an abrupt drop in the estrogen level and this occurs towards the end of the period. It can also occur at the end of pregnancy.Â
Experts believe migraine symptoms are likely to be worse among some women taking birth control pills. It might just be related to the fact that if you're taking a pill then you have a level that is going up and down rather than what you have naturally during your cycle when it gradually increases over time. The good news according to Schlosberg: many women report their migraines go away after menopause when estrogen levels stop fluctuating. Â
