A walking tour of D.C., iPhone-style
WASHINGTON--In a city where line-standing at Capitol Hill events is an occupation unto itself, I was halfway expecting to see hordes of seasoned lackeys holding spots for high-powered lobbyists during my Friday afternoon circuit of AT&T stores boasting the iPhone.
But alas, instead of the usual guys in bike messenger garb holding up cardboard signs bearing their clients' handwritten names, I found relatively short lines of mostly earnest Applephiles, many still donning their buttoned-up office attire and ID card lanyards (among those I spotted: U.S. Department of State, DC government). Many of those who actually agreed to … Read more

SOURCE 7's Electronic Cigarettes
SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Dec. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- 7's Electronic Cigarettes (SS CHOICE, LLC,) a full-line electronic cigarette manufacturer and supplier of 7's and private label electronic cigarettes announces that on September 10, 2013, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (www.uspto.gov) awarded U.S. Patent No. 8,528,569. The '569 Patent generally covers electronic cigarettes with liquid reservoirs, including those with clear or translucent windows for visually determining the liquid level within the reservoir. No other electronic cigarette company has a patent to offer or sell this particular technology or design.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130927/DA88254LOGO)
Companies and suppliers who are interested in determining whether they are using, selling, offering, importing, or marketing this patented technology can view a copy of the patent at http://www.google.com/patents/US8528569 or http://www.uspto.gov.
Based on substantiated reports, China is the number one offender in the counterfeiting of trademark and intellectual property related to electronic cigarettes. Such activities create job loss for American workers, which translate into fewer profits for businesses and major losses of revenues. President Obama announced the creation of a Trade Enforcement Unit that will investigate unfair trade practices in countries like China creating more inspections to prevent counterfeit, and unsafe goods, from crossing United States borders.
To assist in helping identify offending businesses, websites, questionable counterfeit electronic cigarettes or the possible infringement of Patent No. 8,528.569, SS Choice has a link on their website (http://copyright.my7s.com) where anyone can submit such information. Additionally, information or questions can be e-mailed directly to email@example.com.
The technologies inventor, Kyle D. Newton, President and CEO, stated, "The grant of this patent establishes SS Choice's longevity and future platform as a strategic manufacturer for private label products. This is one of our multiple patents that differentiates our electronic cigarettes manufacturing capabilities and recognizes our strategy to supply finished products with unmatched technologies and designs."
Bradford J. Cunningham, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, affirmed, "SS Choice is open to all inquires regarding private label manufacturing arrangements. We adopt a constructive and timely process, with a mutual agreement, and entertain all supply contracts to advance the use of electronic cigarettes."

ø Ignore MetaVoidEmbarassed by his first attack, Drew focuses all his might into one blow and it strikes the priest, blowing him away. Drew soars right behind and OVER him, his jump carrying him clear over priests head.
He's spinning even before landing, stomping on the priest and first guard and launching himself over toward the skeleton, bouncing back and landing finally in wide low stance, his swinging arms catching both guards as he closes into defensive posture, weaving and bobbing around.

Again his eyes flicker and try to get hold of the Death orb's mind, ordering it to descend to the ground. The skeleton under Vermitrax's command eyes the prone priest. If he stands, the skeleton is ready to hack at him.
Hypnotism: 23 vs will, if hit, Death orb lowers to ground level. If the priest adjacent to the shadow skeleton stands up, it triggers AoO I think.Visit The Link Village of Voda Vosa in the RG for complete game links, and stuff!

Prime shakes the effects of the floating thing's ray, and understands that they lack the means to bring it to mele reach. Hoping that Drew can survive a few seconds surrounded by enemies, he tries to kill the cultist as fast as possible.

Relying on his heritage, Kamotz nimbly reacts to the onslaught by the Death Orb. WHIGGINS! the shifter quickly locates his packmate, and confirms his safety. STAY!
The dark fires alight in Kamotz eyes and burn ever brighter, his plate armor sliding to accommodate the enraged beast the shifter was becoming. Visibly growing taller, drool began to fall and puddle beneath the shifter. I am death... started the shifter as he threw his shield into the nearby zombie, knocking it's attack wide. Kamotz stalked back into the dancing flames of the newly anointed gravesite. DEATH HAS NO POWER OVER ME! the holy words are affirmed as Kamotz' holy symbol spews a blinding ball of dark fire. The rotating obsidian radiance washed over the boneshard skeleton and the mausoleum guards with a roar. When the flash dissipates, Kamotz stands, still shaking but true to his word; Death's touch bothered him no more. Drew, who had been standing in the middle of the blast, was unscathed by the divine blight.

Take that! Sharpe shouts pointing his sword at the beholder and shooting a bolt of thunder out which bounces off its hide.
And that!Sharpe shouts blasting a bolt of arcane energy at Drew and healing him.
And that! he shrieks, blasting another bolt at Kamotz and healing him as well.

Another Valley Daze is now history. A raging thunderstorm cut Friday evening's activities short, canceling the kiddie tractor pull and the fireworks. The grand parade was cancelled this year only for construction work that was planned but not yet begun. It still was a fun weekend, with lots to do for everyone.

Bonobo Apart Hotel
Goezeputstraat 5, Bruges, Belgium star
Check Rates for Bonobo Apart HotelChecking Rates for Bonobo Apart HotelNo availability
Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors
Tucked behind St. Salvator's Church, about five blocks west of Markt Square, the Bonobo Apart Hotel provides 10 non-smoking apartment-style suites at surprisingly reasonable rates. In contrast to most hotels in Bruges, the Bonobo doesn't aim to charm you with classic Flemish style. However, it will win you over with its spacious, functional and convenient suites.
All 10 suites at the Bonobo are fully equipped with kitchens, dining area, living room with sofa and TV, bedroom and bathroom. The décor is simple, with white tiled floors and modern furniture. The management lets the guest decide whether to rent the suite as an apartment or a hotel-style suite.
If you opt for an apartment, you have full access to your kitchen and prices are cheaper. Breakfast, however, isn't included, and the room is cleaned once a week. If you choose "hotel-style," the kitchen is locked up and the rate is more expensive, but the rooms are cleaned daily and breakfast is included (served in the backyard garden, in season).
If these aren't enough options for you, Bonobo also offers three sizes of suites, the "large" accommodates one to three, the "XL" two to four, and "XXL," four to six. (You will be quizzed on all of this later today.) We were struck by the size of the suites; even the smallest provides ample room.

I've got the studio-version of Just Pretend on the CD "Elvis - That's The Way It Is" (front cover: attached picture) I think it's the cd version of the LP soundtrack that was brought out during the TTWII film recording?
In my opinion it sounds as good as the live version on the DVD TTWII (allmost the same, only without the audience)
1. I Just Can Help Believin' (live)
2. Twenty Days and Twenty Nights
3. How the Web Was Woven
4. Patch It Up (live)
5. Mary in the Morning
6. You Don't Have to Say You Love Me
7. You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' (live)
8. I've Lost You
9. Just Pretend
10. Stranger in the Crowd
11. The Next Step Is Love
12. Bridge Over Troubled Water (live)
The sound quality is very good also on the live songs (soundboard)
Check: http://www.mp3.com/albums/59436/summary.html to listen to examples.
(There's also a newer version (special edition) of this cd avalable:
Btw I've got feeling that the applause on the so called live version of Bridge Over Troubled Water has been edited later to the recording. It creates a nice atmosphere but it sounds quite fake/later-edited I think. As if they used a studio version and pasted an applause behind it. During the entire song it's absolutly quit and then al of a sudden an applause fades in

PayPal's CEO John Donahoe thinks that online payments should make up more than 20% of the global payments market, but right now it only accounts for a fraction of it. One of the ways PayPal is working to change that: courting developers.
The company's Adaptive Payments API was launched in November 2009 at the PayPal Innovate X 2009, and since then, PayPal has recruited thousands of developers and seen millions of dollars transacted using its developer platform.

Online payments behemoth PayPal thinks developers are key in its quest for world domination. Late last year, it launched a portfolio of new APIs that PayPal hopes will give developers the ability to create applications that extend PayPal's footprint into markets in which it believes its payment solutions could be better utilized.
But if the credit card associations have their way, PayPal will have to compete for the best developers.

Smartphones have opened up the possibility of turning mobile devices into virtual wallets. And today, PayPal has made a big land grab for mobile payments with its new iPhone app.
In addition to making it easier to send and receive payments from a mobile device, the app uses Bump Technologies to let users share money instantly by touching phones. With more companies getting into mobile payments all the time, this could go a long way to help PayPal retain digital payment dominance. But there's one clear reason this won't replace cash.

Much has been made about the market for micropayments over the years, but for the most part, billing for small transactions remains a challenge for online merchants, especially small and mid-size publishers who sell content and virtual goods.
PayPal, however, hopes to provide some relief later this year with a new offering that makes it easier for online merchants to process micropayments cost-effectively.

There may have been a time when Facebook was hoping to create its own PayPal killer with the "Facebook Wallet," but those days are over. Today Facebook announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with PayPal. Now users can use PayPal to purchase self-service ads and Facebook Credits on the social network.
This is good news for Facebook — and especially PayPal — but what about Facebook developers?

What do Facebook, Gmail and iTunes have in common? By 2015, they might be dominant online payment providers.
At least that's the thinking of Dave McClure, a Silicon Valley startup investor. In a post the other day (caution: heavy profanity), he argued that "in 2015 the default login & payment method(s) on the web will be Facebook Connect, Google Gmail, or Apple iTunes".

When Steve Ballmer repeated the now-famous and parodied words, "Developers, developers, developers", he may have been far more sane than he looked at the time.
From Apple to Facebook, some of today's most successful and popular internet companies are taking advantage of third party developers to extend their products and make them more useful and appealing. In many cases, these companies owe some of their success to developers.

Two-thirds of online retailers say they feel threatened by payment fraud, something which threatens to hold back e-commerce growth in the UK.
The stats come from payment provider Sagepay, which surveyed 1,000 retailers, also revealed a lack of awareness of what they need to do to meet the industry standards (PCI DSS) on payment security.

The UK's online retailers are missing out on potential sales because they are not offering a large enough range of payment methods, and 50% of regular online shoppers' will cancel their purchase if their desired method is not available.
So says a YouGov survey of 2,000 UK web users commissioned by ClickandBuy, which suggests that e-commerce sites should catch as many customers as possible by providing alternatives to credit or debit card payments.

Fairfax County School Board to vote on surveillance cameras
The Fairfax County School Board is set to vote on whether to allow surveillance cameras in their schools.
The controversial decision will potentially be settled Thursday night, several months after a rash of food fights and on-campus incidents left several students and teachers injured.
School officials, specifically principals, were frustrated because they have not been able to identify the students who started the fights.
Two of the more prominent incidents occurred this past may at high schools in Springfield and Centreville.
On May 12, a massive food fight at West Springfield High School escalated into further violence after someone pulled a fire alarm. Senior activities were temporarily placed on hold in the wake of the incident.
Several days later, four students at Centreville High School were arrested and faced various charges, including disorderly conduct and assault, in a scene that one student described as a "food fight turned into a mob scene."
At least one board member hopes to postpone Thursday's vote on the grounds that he feels principals have failed to fully explain the pros and cons of the cameras.

Heavy bass tone swells from this rugged cabinet and the four Eminence speakers inside.
This 600W Orange Amplifiers OBC410 bass speaker enclosure is made from 13-ply high-density 18mm birch plywood. Tough skids on the cab base enhances stage projection.
Internally, the Orange OBC410 is acoustically compartmented for strength and vibration dampening. Thanks to its design and high-quality construction, the Orange OBC410 bass cabinet is superior to many other bass speaker cabs on the market today. The OBC410 cab's 4x10" Eminence speakers provide tight punchy sound, and with 600W power handling, these speakers punch hard.

Comments about Orange Amplifiers OBC Series OBC410 600W 4x10 Bass Speaker Cabinet:
I bought a grade 3 damaged item...
It arrived exactly as described, beat up, but mechanically sound.
I am blown away at the quality of this cabinet and the battle scars it already have simply serve as a reminder of how TOUGH these cabs are.
I paired this with a bassterror 1000 and could not be happier.
Buy with confidence.

Comments about Orange Amplifiers OBC Series OBC410 600W 4x10 Bass Speaker Cabinet:
Have this cabinet accompanying my Orange Terror Bass 1000. Honestly, the combination of the two is just the most tone rich rig I've ever heard. The cabinet has a lot to do with the richness.
The celestion speakers are just beauties. This cabinet has such a quick response and the low end is really focused due to the really thick birch wood.

6% YTD with 50% market exposure. 10% YTD with 80% market exposure(heavy in international). 3% YTD with 20-30% market exposure(too conservative?)
- RW said...
Approx +5% YTD in the strategic portfolio which is widely diversified and strongly hedged; +39% in the tactical portfolio mainly on a few non-diversified plays (mostly shorts) that worked out extremely well (they don't always lord knows).
OT but does anyone know of a list of international or global funds (CEF, ETF, OEF) that use a call writing strategy? I use an options approach to buying and selling individual stocks and many of the domestic funds that use the strategy have good performance characteristics but am having trouble identifying outfits such as BWC that use the approach for offshore markets. - 8:19 AM
- RS said...
Unfortunately I am down for the year a little. Too many CEF's has hurt me. Fortunately I made up a lot of ground over the last week. I am one of those people who has to do it himself. I don't trust having my money managed with anyone else. I have done pretty well over the years but am overdoing things over the last year with the CEF/ETF's.

Up 13.2% in USD terms and 7.6% in AUD terms. 62% of net assets in Australian Dollar denominated assets, 28% USD denominated, rest in unhedged global funds.

Up for the year but below the S&P. I had severall stocks that sold when they broke their trailing stops during market volatility. I wish they hadn't because I missed the upside.
It's tough to set stops with this tape. - 9:33 AM

1.35% ytd....with 50% in equities....kept this allocation until June when I decided to allow all cash to be deployed. From poor management, I was as high as 13% in July. Personally, not satisfied at all with results nor my process...but learning. Had an excellent plan but allowed myself to deviate. Reasonable to think that many could be 15-20 percent up for even a large combined portfolio of different strategies. I'm impressed with what some may be yielding even what hedges and heavy cash.

In all my accounts, down 1.2% YTD. Down more in some, up in one. I set my stops too tight this spring, and also did too much trading. I would have been ahead otherwise. I resolved to do less trading and to tough-out the recent crunch, and many of my individual stocks did better than my ETFs. Sold a few shares of EM ETFs, and some SLX, after they got hit hard. Now they are going up almost as fast as they went down. When the next decline hits I will lighten up some more.

Roger. Enjoyed the video, and a good question. Using Yahoo! Finance numbers, I calculate the S&P 500 to be (1479.37-1418.30)/1418.30 = +4.31% for the period 12/29/06 (last trading day of 06) thru 8/24/07. I assume the S&P 500 number does not include dividends? My total return for the same period is +7.18%; calculated by subtracting this year's contributions from the current portfolio value, and comparing this number to the end of year 06 value. Glad you did not ask this question last week, as I would have been about 3% lower. JCarr

What would people here recommend for a good discount brokerage firm? I have about 156K from a 401K that I need to roll over soon.
I'm not as interested in the low cost of the trade as much as I am in low transfer and maintenance fees on mutual fund buys (I also buy stock & ETF's). And I want to be able to buy from any fund company without being raked over the coals for mutual fund buys like in my existing Fidelity account where they add on such fees.
I am considering Ameritrade. Thanks. - 11:08 AM

Vanguard's S&P index fund VFINX is up 5.48% year to date.
So either Anon 11:07's numbers are off, or Vanguard is not tracking the S&P correctly. - 11:13 AM

Response to 11:13 post. I am the Anon 11:07. I suspect the Vanguard S&P 500 index includes dividends, which my S&P 500 calculation did not; ergo, the difference. JCarr

Flat for the year to date. Leveraged CEFs in converts/preferreds and floaters have pulled me down, as well as several small positions in sectors that all went south sharply(energy, materials, metals, etc.) Most are snapping back smartly, as Roger blogged yesterday.
- Anonymous said...
Your comments about another leg down (which I'm actually hoping for) as well as your views on a recession imply that you've not switched from defensive mode in your approach to portfolio management. You've blogged about identifying a financial stock to add when that sector turns, yet the SPY is above its 200 dma, DIA never really penetrated the 200 dma, and central bankers everywhere are (quite arguably) watching the store. What will cause you to become more sanguine? - 12:18 PM

"What would people here recommend for a good discount brokerage firm? I have about 156K from a 401K that I need to roll over soon."
I was with TDWaterhouse for a long time, and very happy with it overall. Then they "improved" their web page, which I hated. Then they merged with Ameritrade. Then TDAmeritrade drove me absolutely nuts with their new web page(s). If you are into computer gaming, and interactive garbage it may be to your liking.
I moved my two accounts from there, plus two others from BuyandHold.com (which has no funds, and is weak on ETFs and getting better, but may be just right for you otherwise) and transferred it all to ScotTrade. I like their interfaces, visual presentations, and menu arrangements. I like it more as I use it more. They keep it simple... so far. The big thing is that if you are trading, they keep you from getting into trouble with "free ride" errors - TDA will just send you a notice after the fact that you made an error, and tell you you can't trade anymore for 90 days or whatever. They don't seem to care; and to make it worse, their manner of presenting current balances can lead you into making such errors, so you have to track buys and sells on paper to be safe. My move to ScotTrade was a blessing.
Just call their local office and ask about costs. They won't get in your face - you may be happily surprised with the answers you get. - 1:04 PM

People who actively manage their portfolios should think carefully about both a) what are the right benchmarks to use when measuring their performance and b) how are they personally going to evaluate risk. A lot of investment commentary assumes that people compare their performance to the S&P 500, and that their notion of risk is closely related to market volatility and/or risk of underperforming the S&P 500 on a calendar year basis. But individuals, particularly one's managing portfolios actively in search of outperformance, should decide for themselves what their benchmarks and measures of risk should be.
Relevant example - at the start of 2007, lots of market commentators were advising people to stay out or lighten up on emerging markets because they had gone up a lot in prior years and because they were "risky". That advice turned out to be bad so far, but was it sensible? IMO, discussion about whether a market is too frothy needs to be based on fundamentals, not price appreciation, while the claim about risk is only relevant to people who are measuring risk wrt volatility and S&P comparisons. - 1:27 PM

1.8% YTD with 10% cash, 30% stocks, 60% funds (no bonds). I prefer to look to our 3 yr gain of 28%. All my investing is DIY. I much prefer Scottrade. Great company! Thanks to you Roger and other most excellent bloggers I've stopped the panic in and out moves.
- Bill B said...
I'm not sure the comment was "harsh", but I did not address that person with regard to luck because they sounded a bit sour and I didn't want things to become counterproductive. Since you mentioned it in your video wrapup (which I enjoyed, by the way), I thought I'd address the "luck" piece of the comment. I will agree that I was lucky but lucky along the lines of a good poker player (and I stink at poker, by the way). Tight poker players will wait until things are technically in their favor before putting themselves at risk. When I bought, I felt I was dealt an ace/king. If the market continued to fall, I would've considered more along the lines of pocket aces and as a result, put more at risk. Does this mean that my hand is untouchable and I can't lose? No. But I feel over time, increasing bet size when historically things went your way is one method to ultimately come out on top. This time I was greedy when the masses were fearful. It's not going to work every time, and it panned out this time. That doesn't mean it will the next. So, yes, I was lucky.

Samsung thinks up mind-reading brain implant
Samsung has applied for a patent on an implantable medical device that can communicate physiological/pathological information with an "external device."
At last, an app to tell us when we're stressed, drunk, or asleep (states that typically occur in that order, at least for me).
Samsung envisions much more than just a pacemaker you connect to. The application includes a number of possible scenarios with sci-fi implications such as a brain implant to keep track of brainwaves (but certainly not embed subliminal messages about the superior quality of Samsung devices) and fingertip implants for motion detection. … Read more


text: Subcompact Showdown: Chevy Sonic vs Kia Rio vs Toyota Prius The subcompact segment, once the object of automotive scorn, is undergoing a renaissance in America. We took three cars from the new breedthe 2012 Toyota Prius c Four, 2012 Chevy Sonic LTZ, and 2012 Kia Rio SXto California for a 500-mile test to find out which is best. By Ben Stewart Email Comments 0 Share Back 2 of 8 Next Return to Gallery Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails Chevy Sonic LTZ: The Specs Looking at this trio on paper, one might imagine that they perform similarly. They all cost about the same, use a MacPherson strut front and beam-axle rear suspension, and draw their power from four-cylinder engines. But climb behind the wheel and it becomes evident that these cars are shockingly different. Base price/as tested: $17,235/$18,695 Forget everything you knew about the recently departed, Korean-built Chevy Aveo. Its replacement, the Sonic, is made in Detroit and stuffed with smart tech. Our Chevy Sonic LTZ packed a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder and a six-speed manual. Only Chevy offers this sporty combination in a subcompact, and it's well worth the $700 option. The six-speed manual comes from the Chevrolet Cruze Eco, and it offers an overdrive sixth gear that really lets the revs drop to save fuel. At 70 mph, the engine spins right at 2000 rpm, so the EPA's rating of 40-mpg highway doesn't seem far-fetched if you drive the Sonic sanely. This car provided the roomiest interior of the three, especially for rear-seat passengers. The tall rear doors and ceiling made it the easiest to climb into and out of. And behind that seat, the Sonic offers 19 cubic feet of luggage space, which is more than the Toyota or the Kia.

Love them!
Snapshot Sweetness Save the Date Magnets I liked the process to design them. Enough customization (colors, fonts, pictures) to make them my own (without any up charges!) but not so much that it was overwhelming to make them. Received them in the mail the day after shipping. Quality is fantastic! Bright colors, clear pictures. So glad I decided to use Magnet Street! I would recommend these STD's and Magnet Street in a second!
Excellen service
Snapshot Sweetness Save the Date Magnets I would highly recommend this website. I did my save the dates with them and the first ones didn't turn out like I wanted. I picked pictures that weren't close up so they got washed out when the magnets were printed. I called about them just to see if anything could be done and they were so nice and understanding! They even let me redo the entire design for only $10!! The 2nd design turned out much better and was very clear. They were so amazing and wanted to make sure I ended up with something I really like.
beautiful card
Snapshot Sweetness Save the Date Magnets So thrilled with how our save the date turned out. They did such an amazing job!
Beautiful Magnet
Snapshot Sweetness Save the Date Magnets The quality of the magnet that I ordered surpassed my expectations. The color of the photos were vibrant just as in the original. I would definitely order again in the future.
Very happy!

"We understand that West Virginia may have hired its own independent auditor to review the project," Walden and Shimkus wrote in a June 4 letter. "Nevertheless, when federal taxpayer dollars are at stake, it is important that federal officials scrutinize federally funded projects to guard against waste, fraud and abuse."
Earlier this year, West Virginia Commerce Secretary Keith Burdette's office tapped ICF International, a Vienna, Va.-based consulting firm, to examine the state's use of the $126.3 million stimulus grant.
The Gazette has reported that Burdette has past financial ties to ICF's lead consultant, Keith Montgomery, under the West Virginia contract. In 2005 and 2006, Burdette worked as a lobbyist for iTown Communications, a company headed by Montgomery.
Last month, the Gazette also reported that more than 300 routers remain boxed up in storage. The routers came with a five-year service warranty, so the state has already lost two years of free maintenance on the devices.
State officials are working to find sites to install the routers. The devices funnel data, such as email and websites, from one computer network to another.
Gianato and President Obama's top advisor on telecommunications issues have defended the router purchase.
In a May 30 letter to Walden, U.S. Assistant Commerce Secretary Lawrence Strickling wrote that West Virginia's decision to purchase the same size router for 1,064 public facilities, regardless of size, was the "most economical." Strickling noted that the state's former chief technology officer, Kyle Schafer, signed off on the $24 million purchase.
Strickling also clarified a previous statement he made about router costs.
At the May 16 hearing in Washington, Strickling testified that the routers cost $12,000, not $22,600 as the Gazette has reported.
Strickling now acknowledges that his $12,000 figure didn't include "add-ons" -- additional equipment that came with the devices, along with a service warranty. The extra features added $10,600 to the cost of each router.

BP Comment Quick Links
March 19, 2013 Out of Left FieldThe More You KnowNowadays, when we talk about Robinson Cano we talk about his next contract. A $200 million deal has been widely speculated (like here and here) and that's certainly within the realm of possibility. While it's an interesting topic, Cano has employed Scott Boras, so I'm guessing we'll have lots of time to cover it, as an in-season extension with the Yankees seems unlikely. Instead, I'm more curious as to where Cano came from. If what you're thinking starts with his mommy and daddy had some wine then no. I mean in a prospect sense. Cano emerged an All-Star from what was widely thought to be a depleted farm system. He began his minor-league career at the age of 18 in 2001. He didn't make the majors until 2005 so he had ample time to make a few top prospects lists on the way to the Show, but he never did. Well, that's not entirely true. He was not listed on any of the Baseball America's Top 100 prospects lists during his time in the minors, and never ranked first overall on the annual Yankees Top 10 list, like you might expect from a future franchise player. He was ranked second once, but given the general state of the Yankees system, nobody took him too seriously. That's the bio we always hear about. The moral of the story is scouting is hard. Guessing at a player's future is very difficult and sometimes, for a variety of reasons, we all miss badly on a guy. I was thinking about this and how odd it is that Cano, this utterly unheralded prospect, this guy who the Yankees essentially traded as a throw-in*, has come to represent the future of the franchise. *We can add two major league franchises to the list of those that underestimated Cano. In February of 2004 the Yankees stole Alex Rodriguez from the Texas Rangers. In return for the best player in baseball at the time Texas received Alfonso Soriano and a player to be named later. The player to be named later came from a list of five players the Yankees submitted to Texas. According to Baseball America, that list featured outfielder Rudy Guillen, shortstop Joaquin Arias, Robinson Cano, and pitcher Ramon Ramirez. The Rangers picked Arias. See? We weren't the only ones to goof on Cano. The Yankees and Rangers did too. I decided to go back into the Baseball Prospectus archives and see what we said about Cano way back when. Cano wasn't listed on the Baseball Prospectus Top 40 Prospects in either 2002 or 2003. The first mention of Cano that I can find comes in an article dated July 11, 2003 by David Cameron. The article was a preview of the MLB Futures game that was to be played later that week and it lays out an argument for watching the game and then places the players into four categories by talent. Cano pops up under the last category, titled "The Fringe Prospects." At the time Cano was coming off a .276/.321/.445 showing in Single-A as a 19-year-old and in the midst of a season that would see him post a sub-.700 OPS split between High-A and Double-A. Cano isn't mentioned in the short bit of explanatory text that follows (they are fringe prospects, after all) but Cameron did note something interesting when he wrote, "History tells us that one of these [fringe prospects] is going to make me look foolish in 15 years…" So he got that part right, though maybe a bit more quickly than he guessed.

My Christmas memory started back in 1980 when I first met my husband, Jeff George. Not long before I met him, he underwent a kidney transplant. He received the kidney from his father, Fred George, of Silver Creek. That kidney lasted 20 years, until the spring of 1998. That's when things went badly. Jeff's kidney failed due to the buildup of scar tissue, and he had to start dialysis.
Jeff chose to do peritoneal dialysis, which involved surgery to put a port in his stomach. He had to fill and drain fluid in his abdomen four times a day. He would do it in the morning, at lunch, after work, and at bedtime. He also had to be diligent about avoiding germs, which involved wiping the area down with alcohol and wearing a mask to avoid infection. Never once did he complain; he just kept going, working every day and keeping life as normal as possible.
This went on for eight months, until Christmas Eve in 1998. We had just returned from my parents' house at 11:30, and as we put our key in the door we heard the phone ringing. It was the transplant coordinators with the news that they had a kidney donor match. Talk about a shock! After a few phone calls, I took our two daughters back to my parents' house, and off to ECMC we went. My in-laws accompanied us to the hospital. By the time we got there, it was 1:30 a.m., and the doctor was already performing transplant surgery for a woman who got the other kidney. Jeff got his turn and all went well. It was a long night, and I totally forgot it was Christmas until I heard carolers going through the hospital.

What a special gift the family who had such a tragic Christmas gave us. We think of them every year on that special anniversary.
This summer my husband was well, and able to walk our daughter down the aisle at her wedding. Without that Christmas miracle, who knows if he would have been here. Merry Christmas to everyone, and please sign a donor card. You never know whose family you will save.

Albert Sailhorst- Thank you for the kind words. As you know, many on this forum consider me to be a southern partisan. I have, for example, maintained for years my belief that secession was perfectly legal under the Constitution. I have defended prominent southern figures whenever I thought that they were being maligned by false charges and conspiracy theories. But because I also have southern sympathies does not mean that I will stay silent when I feel that a northern figure is being unfairly attacked. As I have said, people are entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. Merry Christmas to you as well. |

Episode 5 - War of Independence
Kevin Barry, Terence McSwiney and Sean Treacy are the focus of this week's episode on herosongs from the war of independence 1919- 1922. The episode explores why these songs with the exception of Kevin Barry are rarely sung or heard today.
Mark Brennock reported on the Northern Ireland conflict during the 80's and 90's for the Irish Times, and shares his memories as a child in the 60's listening to these songs being played by the Irish Army Band while veteran journalist Seamus Martin shares his mothers memory on the shooting of Sean Tracey.
Kevin Barry's grandnephew and history professor of Trinity College Eunan O'Halpin shares his knowledge about who Kevin Barry was; "He seems generally to have been an admirable person, not at all trying to hide behind lawyers or pretend he was a hero let alone a martyr." Therese visits the Kevin Barry memorial window in UCD with arts facilitator Ruth Ferguson and singer Frances Black remembers how she first heard the song 'Kevin Barry' and what it means to her.
Historian Maura Cronin of Mary Immaculate College Limerick makes the point that these songs are meant to be propaganda.
Góilín traditional singers club members Diarmuid Breatnach and Frank Nugent talk about the two Sean Tracey songs and the song 'Shall my Soul pass through old Ireland' about the then Lord Mayor of Cork Terence McSwiney who died on hunger strike in 1920.

this is one [amazon.com] that i just looked at too. the back is kinda frosty. i agree the rinke fusion is one that i would go with myself- but dunno how long i can wait. had my nexus 4 for 2 months now and saw a couple small scratched on the back and one below the front camera- never had any protection on it. but have been super carefull and never dropped it. The scratches are from just putting in my pocket or table- never next to keys or anything sharp though.

9-Year-Old Dedicates Anti-Violence Rap to Sandy Hook Victims
December 18, 2012

Last week's Newton elementary school shooting brought gun control to the forefront of America's political conversation. But no one captured the crux of the debate quite like 9-year-old Brooklyn rapper Amor "Lilman" Arteaga.
Arteaga, previously known for his viral hit "Pull Ya Pants Up," had been working on a new track, "Stop Da Violence," for several weeks before the Connecticut massacre. When he heard about shooting, he decided to dedicate the song to the victims and memorialize the school in the video.

The New York Post spoke with Arteaga's father, Juan Arteaga about his son's decision:
"We felt it was the right thing to do. He's a child who is talking about stopping gun violence. And so many little kids were affected by this."
"We live in a community where people doing [shootings] is the norm."

The lyrics and video focus on many tough issues including bullying, robbery, domestic violence, and suicide, but one verse rings especially true after last week's tragedy:
"Put the guns down. Stop the killing. Think before you act, don't make a poor decision. The world is hurting, we all need healing."

I'm clever in the ways that matter. And I won't take kindly to unkind words about the Dark Lord. And yes, I was dead once.I'm not keen on returning to that state.

Where was that foul?

Where was that foul?
And just like that, the lead is gone
espn3.com has game. I am watching the Clones, listening to John & Eric, and also have the K-State-Texas game. They just had a poll on ESPN to vote for Big 12 POY. Melvin Ejim was one of the choices, that was cool.
Dammit, Tyrus has been on the edge of fouling on the 3 point shot for a long time, now he gets called for the second time in 2 games. Need a little discipline.
This would be at least his 3rd 4 point play of the year.
Make the world a better place. Punch that Forte in the face.
Note: Post does not endorse violence.
Do the people who think McGee should start see why he doesn't?
Call me crazy, but on his drive before the four-point play, did Gibson go reverse and use his right hand? First time I can recall it.
Nice vision by Bubu
Bubu getting an extended run.
Admittedly this is my first time watching OSU, but they have a lot of talent. How are they not better than what they are?
Seriously I think Forte needs to get the Babb treatment if at all possible.
Travis ford is a worse Scott drew. Terrible coach
I'm going to hate Forte more than Keaton Page in the next 4 years
Nash is good, but Niang is better.
He can't get away with those pushes all night.

Giant Step Presents New Year's Eve 2010 In Miami With Common & Rye Rye
December 16th, 2009Giant Step is hosting the New Year's Eve party you don't want to miss in Miami. We are back after last year's epic celebration, which included performances from The Roots, Janelle Monáe and DJ Bobbito. This year, Giant Step brings in 2010 with a bang with Common and Rye Rye.
Common will be performing live in The Florida Room, which only holds 200 people. It's going to be like having this Grammy Award-winning artist play with his killer live band in your living room, with all your friends in it. Open bar from 10 PM - 1 AM.
Outside by the pool, we will have Rye Rye ringing in the next decade. The Baltimore native and protégé of M.I.A. is one of the artists we're tipping for success next year.
So if you want your NYE to be hot, book your ticket to Miami and join the Giant Step party!
