Earlier today we learned that the Diamondbacks have interest in free agent second baseman Kelly Johnson , and now we're able to add three more clubs to the list of suitors. MLBTR learned from an industry source that the Pirates, Cardinals, and Astros have interest in Johnson. - Tim Dierkes, MLBTR
MLBTR isn't 100% reliable, but the possibility is interesting enough that I think it's worth discussing anyway.
Johnson would've been easier to fit onto the roster before the Iwamura pickup, but even now, he'd be a smart addition at the right price. He's a career .264/.346/.430 hitter who can play second, third, or corner outfield, and he'd immediately become the best player on our bench. Even better, as a 28-year-old, he's young enough that he could plausibly be a future building block if he acquits himself well in 2010. He struggled in 2009, but the main source of those struggles appears to have been a large drop in his BABIP relative to career norms (.313 career, .249 in 2009), making him a likely bet to rebound. His 2010 CHONE forecast is a .262/.338/.428 line.
If Johnson were to sign, the players most likely to be threatened by his presence on the roster would seem to be Vazquez and Young. I could certainly live with an upgrade on either of those two.

I won't take too much time, but here are Al & Pau for their first six seasons, playing for mostly bad teams: http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pcm_finder.cgi?request=1&sum=1&p1=jeffeal01&y1=2010&p2=gasolpa01&y2=2007
Very interesting. Al a much better rebounder, Pau a much better passer and at getting to the line, everything else slight edge to Pau. Al's numbers skewed a bit by injury, Pau also playing much more per game/heavier burden. Playoff samples too small, but Pau DID lead them to three berths. Al could do nothing to help Boston or Minny.
Here are their overall numbers, Pau's asterisk is obvious: http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pcm_finder.cgi?request=1&sum=1&p1=jeffeal01&y1=2012&p2=gasolpa01&y2=2012
Hmm, still roughly the same ratios as before, aside from the playoffs. Pau IS better, but not by as much as I thought. How would those numbers look if Pau played with Sap (or Favors) and Al played with Bynum & Kobe in the triangle (or with Favors)?
Pau still has plenty in the tank, only 31 and just 31.6K combined minutes played. Based on their contracts and cap situation of the Jazz, I still think moving Al & Millsap's expiring deals for Pau and a GOOD wing/PG (both under contract for only two more years) in separate deals would improve the Jazz, but maybe not by as much as I thought.

Palm Breeze Villa is the
top recommended small hotel in Boracay
on Tripadvisor.com!
Read our reviews
Boracay Activities:
Things to do in Boracay, Philippines.
Boracay Island is the gem of the Philippines. Only seven kilometres long, the island is surrounded by palm fringed beaches and clear turquoise waters.
With its beauty and vibrant atmosphere, nobody needs to be stuck for what to do in Boracay.
Boracay Beaches:
Bulabog Beach:
The two main and largest beaches in Boracay are White Beach in the west, and Bulabog Beach on the east side of the island. The centre part of the island is less than a kilometre across, and you can walk from Bulabog Beach to White Beach in under ten minutes!
In the monrths of November to April, Bulabog Beach is commonly regarded as the best beach in Asia for windsurfing and kite boarding. Several top international windsurfing and kite boarding (kitesurfing) competitions are held here annually. With the steady onshore wind Bulabog Bay becomes a playground for kitesurfers and windsurfers, and the sky is filled with colourful kites. The sundeck at Palm Breeze Villa Resort is the perfect vantage point to watch their antics.
In the months of May to October, Bulabog Beach becomes the place where Boracay's main watersports takes place. Replacing the widsurfers and kiteboarders are a multitude of boats. Here you can sail a paraw boat, get thilled on a bananaboat ride or jetski, set out for dive trips or banca boat trips to nearby islands and other beaches, or ride above everyone on a parasail.
An award winning boutique resort set on the cliff at the northern end of the beach is Palm Breeze Villa, offering guests magnificent views over the entire bay.

Boating at Bulabog Beach in the summer months of May to October
Bulabog Beach is a hub of windsurfing and kiteboarding in the winter months from November to April each year
White Beach:
One of the most popular things to do in Boracay is to visit the famous White Beach Boracay, which is a 4 km long stretch of soft white sand lined with restaurants, bars, hotels and shops. It has been voted the most beautiful beach in the world in 2007 by Yahoo Travel. Starting from the north end: the sand is the finest and the beach is the widest at the very northern end of the beach, so this is a good place to go swimming. There are also some very nice hotels and upmarket restaurants here. Next you come to Station 1 area where there are several popular nightclubs. The middle section (Station 2 area) is the busiest section of the beach with lots of shops and restaurants, and live music every night. This section is a lot of fun, but can get crowded and noisy. Further south down the beach, things get a little quieter, and right down at Angol point there are some quieter spots more reminiscent of the Boracay of old.
Water Sports:
Bulabog Beach Boracay is known as the best windsurfing and kiteboarding beach in Asia (see above). Other water sports to be found in Boracay include jet skis, banana boats, and parasailing. There are water sports centres on the Bulabog Beach front roadway (close to Palm Breeze Villa resort), and you can also find plenty of commissioners wandering up and down White Beach who can help you to book water sports and other activities in Boracay, and will bring you to the correct place.
There are numerous scuba diving shops up and down the length of White Beach offering several dives a day. The diving is good in Boracay and close to shore, so it is easy to do a dive in the morning and be back well before lunch time. The scuba diving shops provide lessons in various languages, equipment hire, provide the boats and carry your equipment making for a very enjoyable time.
On land there is a beautiful 18-hole Golf Course , Fairways and Bluewater offering quality golf in a magnificent setting with sea-views.
Horse Riding:
Boracay Horse Riding Stables has been established on Boracay Island for twenty years and offers horse riding trips around the island. A pleasurable and relaxing way to explore Boracay.
Other Boracay activities include yoga, cycling, hiking, gyms and much much more.
Relax and unwind in the world class spas, enjoy beach massages, sunset cruises, sunbathing or simply do nothing at all.

As part of a settlement agreement in a class-action lawsuit against Nvidia graphics processor, MacBook Pro owners who bought a laptop with the processor in 2007 and 2008 may be eligible for free repairs, Yahoo News reports.
The lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in California, claimed that Nvidia had sold defective processing units and media communication processors that affected some laptops' performance.
Symptoms of the defect included distorted video on the laptop's monitor and sometimes even a blank screen when the computer was turned on, the news provider said. Despite the settlement, Nvidia is not admitting any wrongdoing as part of the case.
According to the news source, the affected laptops include 15 and 17-inch MacBook Pros that were purchased between May 2007 and September 2008. Only laptops that contain a Nvidia chip and eligible serial number, and have experienced the monitor issues are eligible for the repairs.
Some Dell and HP notebooks are also included in the settlement, with some HP laptop owners eligible to receive a replacement computer, the news source said.

Illegle forward motion on last second field goal
Why didn't we get called on an illegal forward motion in the backfield when the kicker, Edinger, moved forward and to the right to touch Brad Johnson to reset himself?!?!?!? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy :grin: but I sure would like to understand. It is true that on a kick off the rules for offensive formations don't apply (so for example a kicker could move forward to put the ball back on the tee without getting a penalty) but a field goal is just like any other offensive play.
Let me support my words:
"All players of offensive team must be stationary at snap, except one back who may be in motion parallel to scrimmage line or backward (not forward)."
- NFL Digest of Rules
(see http://www.nfl.com/news/rulesdigest.html)
"On field goal attempts, the rules pertaining to formations are the same as in any scrimmage down.�
- Mike Pereira the NFL's senior director of officiating (Oct. 18, 2001)
(see http://www.nfl.com/fans/rulesschool101801.html)
Somebody who knows the rules better please help me!!!!

Re: Illegle forward motion on last second field goal
sssshhh... it never happened... :lol:
Truth is, Refs are there to make a game official. There are always calls that were made "wrong" or not made at all when they "should have been" If they don't call the penalty, then it never happened.
WE WON!!!! 3-1 in pre-season!!! (as if pre-season record means a whole lot :lol: ) Can't wait to see the boys play their first real game together :grin:
It will give the team a whole new look...
Re: Illegle forward motion on last second field goal
If we're going to nitpick here.....Nate was interfered with, on a drive deep in seahags territory that resulted in peps only int,which we most certainly would have scored at least 3 points.....so we're even :lol:

JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL) was introduced to ease the programming in JSP by
storing generic tasks in tag libraries under four different categories based on conditional processing and looping,
XML processing, Internationalization and formatting, database access and a set of expression language functions.
<%@ taglib uri="URIToTagLibrary" prefix="tagPrefix" %>
In the above example the "uri" points to the tag library "matlib.tld", the prefix used in the
taglib directive as well as in the coding is same that is "mtaglib".
The following table lists the URI for the JSTL 1.1 libraries.
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions"
prefix="fn" %>
<head><title>JSTL Functions</title></head>
USERNAME:<input type="text" name="usr" size="25">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
Length of your Username is::
<c:out value="${fn:length(param.usr)}" />
In the above example first taglib directive points to the JSTL core tag library with prefix "c". So the
"<c:out" statement works fine. For the functions like "${fn:length(param.usr)}" that can be invoked using the JSP Expression Language
we include the JSTL function library with prefix "fn". The above example outputs the length of the username entered.

McChrystal on the Afghan Election and the Karzai Government
Monday, September 21, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Gen. Stanley McChrystal's Afghanistan strategy review is absolutely scathing in its assessment of the Afghan government. It raises the effect of its corruption and incompetence to a strategic threat on par with the insurgency, and calls it a "crisis of popular confidence":
… that springs from the weakness of [Afghan government] institutions, the unpunished abuse of power by corrupt officials and power-brokers, a widespread sense of political disenfranchisement, and a longstanding lack of economic opportunity. ISAF errors have further compounded the problem. These factors generate recruits for the insurgent groups, elevate local conflicts and power-broker disputes to a national level, degrade the people's security and quality-of-life, and undermine international will. … Insufficiently addressing [this threat] will result in failure.
That should set alarm bells ringing. Is a government that was willing to return itself to power by stealing an election really willing to enact the kind of good-government reforms that would be necessary to mitigate this threat?
McChrystal's review, completed a few days after the elections last month, calls them "far from perfect" and almost as an afterthought notes that "the credibility of the election results remains an open question." Yet McChrystal says that the goal in Afghanistan for Afghan governance is not "perfection." Instead, it's "an improvement in governance that addresses the worst of today's high level abuse of power, low-level corruption, and bureaucratic incapacity will suffice."
Will that be enough? If the point is to inspire confidence among Afghans, would that be achieved by merely addressing "the worst of today's high level abuse of power"? If that's the most this strategy could realistically deliver, that's a reason to reassess the strategy. It's incoherent to say that governmental incapacity and corruption is as dangerous as the insurgency, but the United States and its allies don't actually have to yield that much to tamp down that danger.

I am a staunch supporter of our military and the iraq engagement. I want us to get the hell out of there because Obama and the democrats do not have a clue what they are doing and will only screw it up.
When you have a leader as incompetent as this one, there is no need to stay.

---- — LAWRENCE — Amy Silverio, of the state's Department of Children and Families, testified yesterday that Steve Amos told her he "always tried to be safe with" his girlfriend Heather Dragotta's 5 1/2 week old daughter Autumn. Yet, Amos might have caused the fractures and brain hemorrhage that sent her to Lawrence General Hospital in June 2010.
"He said when she was first born, he treated her like a piece of crystal but then later thought she was more flexible than he originally believed," Silverio said.
Silverio, who interviewed both Dragotta and Amos after the baby girl ended up in emergency room, was the first prosecution witness yesterday in the opening day of Dragotta and Amos' infant abuse trial In Lawrence Superior Court. Judge Richard Welch will hear the case and render the verdicts.
Three years ago, the pair were arraigned on multiple charges of assault and battery on a child resulting in injury and permitting injury to a child. Dragotta, 33, and Amos, 34, are accused of harming Autumn in Dragotta's North Andover home.
On June 3, 2010, Dragotta and Amos brought Autumn to LGH after she was fussy all day. She was later transferred to Children's Hospital in Boston where doctors diagnosed multiple rib fractures and a brain hemorrhage they believed were consistent with violent shaking and inflicted abuse. Authorities immediately got involved.
Dragotta has said the infant's injuries were caused by copper and Vitamin D deficiencies, a condition known as infantile rickets.
Silverio testified that she interviewed both Dragotta and Amos separately on June 4, 2010.
Silverio said Dragotta told her that Autumn was a normal, healthy baby. A few weeks after giving birth to her she noticed her daughter was suffering from gas. She went to her pediatrician to find remedies to solve the problem. He taught her a "bicycle technique" where she would gently move Autumn's legs as if they were riding a bike, Silverio said.
Dragotta taught this technique to Amos. However, he soon developed his own technique where he would grab Autumn's leg and bring them forward so her knees would be pressing into her stomach, Silverio testified.
Prosecutor Kate MacDougall asked Silverio if she asked Dragotta how often she saw Amos perform this technique.
"I did. She said about every time he changed her diaper," Silverio answered. "She said he pressed hard too."
However, Kevin Mitchell, Amos' defense attorney, pointed out that Silverio reported something different in her initial written report on the case.
"You wrote that Dragotta said she only saw it happened maybe four or five times total. Is that correct?" he asked.
"If that's what my report says, I stand by my report," Silverio replied.
Silverio said Dragotta asked Amos to stop performing that technique when she watched Autumn turn red and cry after it was done.
During her interview with Amos, he said his technique of helping Autumn with her gas is what probably caused her fractured ribs. He said he believed it had worked initially but said he stopped when he thought he was hurting her organs, Silverio said.
Silverio said Amos also told her he may have caused the brain hemorrhage as well.
He told Silverio he danced around with Autumn and used her "like a guitar." As he was dancing with her, he rocked her back and forth. He had one hand holding her back and two fingers holding her neck up. He let go of her neck and her head came "crashing down" and hit his collar bone, Silverio testified.
"He said he believed she could hold her head up for a few seconds at a time," Silverio said.
But the defense painted a very different picture of the dance. They claim Amos didn't let go of his fingers but rather the infant's head came crashing back because of the motion they were going in. Also, that the rocking back and forth was gentle.
"Did you ask him how fast he was going or what his speed he was using," Defense Attorney Ronald Ranta asked Silverio.
"No," she replied.
MacDougall fired back.
"When he performed this dance in front of you, were you concerned or think it was inappropriate?" she asked Silverio.
"Yes," she said.
The prosecution and defense disagreed when Dragotta found out about the dancing accident. The prosecution claims she knew on Memorial Day Weekend 2010. But the defense said Dragotta didn't know until Silverio interviewed her.
The defense also said that Amos wasn't necessarily confessing to the crime through his admissions, but rather trying to be helpful and provide any information he could. In fact, Mitchell said both Amos and Dragotta worked with investigators willingly and acted like concerned caretakers.
"Didn't he offer to move out of the house?" Mitchell asked Silverio.
"Yes. We asked if he didn't trust himself," she said.
"And it says in your report he said 'for the past 20 hours I have been going over whether or not I was gentle enough with her. I always tried to be safe with her,' Correct?" Mitchell asked back.
"Correct," she said.
Autumn now lives now with her biological father at an undisclosed location in New Hampshire.

Good comedy writing doesn't break rules — good comedy is funny because it follows strict principles, says Emmy Award-winning comedy writer Gene Perret. Perret, a longtime San Marino resident whose four children graduated from San Marino High School, will teach a seminar on the principles of comedy based on his new book, "The Ten Commandments of Comedy," at The Writers Store in Burbank on Saturday, July 27, at 10:30 a.m.
"Anything that works does so because it follows those rules that make it work," said Perret, who wrote for nearly 30 years for legends Bob Hope and Phyllis Diller. "An airplane flies because it is built according to the principles of flight. Comedy, too, has basic rules that determine whether it works or not."
Perret calls his principles "Commandments" to emphasize that they should never be broken. "There's a Biblical tone to it, a sort of threat from above that might be ignored only at one's peril," said Perret. "If your jokes aren't working, it's because you're breaking or bending these commandments. 'The Ten Commandments of Comedy' is a checklist that can show you why your material needs improvement and where the changes should be made."
Designed for screenwriters, TV writers and directors, the Writers Store seminar will cover Perret's 10 commandments of comedy writing, from "Thou shalt surprise" to "Thou shalt create a vivid image" to "Thou shalt be clever."

Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth's fate hinges on one girl....
Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She's a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister's illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai's, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world's future.

"Surpised by how much I enjoyed it"
I have to admit that when I first saw advertisements for Cinder, it didn't inspire me to add it to my 'To Read' list. In fact, it wasn't until the release day that I even looked at it on Goodreads. When I read the description, I still wasn't sold, a cyborg Cinderella story set in Beijing sounded strange to me. That and I'm not really into Cinderella retellings. However, as I browsed reviews I started to change to my mind. People were raving about it and then I suddenly started to think, "Hmm, a cyborg Cinderella story set in Beijing could actually be interesting and out of the box. Why am I being so narrow minded?"
Then I saw that it was available on audiobook and my finger started moving closer to the Purchase button. Ever since I've signed up for the YA Audiobook Challenge, I've been eager to start marking off books. That settled it. Cinder went from no where near my To Read listen to my Currently Reading list in 2.5 seconds. And let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised and so happy that I pushed aside my hesitation to read/listen to a cyborg Cinderella story.
Set in a dystopian future in what is now called New Beijing, Cinder stars a teenage cyborg girl who has it very much like Cinderella. Cinder lives with her stepmother and step sisters who pretty much loathe her and blame her for everything, with the exception of her stepsister and friend Peony. She is a skilled mechanic and her talents are put to use by running an electronics repair shop and fixing whatever her stepmother wants fixed. The stepmother and stepsisters only focus is preparing themselves for the ball held by the handsome young Prince Kai of New Beijing.
There are occasional direct Cinderella references such as an old car that resembles a pumpkin, a cyborg foot that takes the place of a glass slipper, and a cute android that replaces friendly rodents that sing and dance and help Cinderella get ready for the ball. But the originality of these references is sweet and they bring a smile to your lips when you come across them. However, if you are hoping for a fairy godmother, you won't find one in this version. And things don't end fairytale perfect like they do for Cinderella.
The story line probably sounds pretty familiar to you and much of the plot keeps to the original story. Despite the similarities, there are many things that set this book apart from the original. The cyborg aspect, for one, adds a whole new dimension to Cinder's character. At a young age, she was in a horrible accident leaving a majority of her body in disrepair. To keep her alive, Cinder was turned in a Cyborg. Although cyberization saved her live, she has new problems to face. Cyborgs are considered less than human and are often shunned by others. To maintain her body she must buy expensive parts, which upsets her stepmother.
In spite of being a cyborg, Cinder is a relatable heroine. She is kind, smart, unselfish, brave, yet makes typical teenage mistakes that only further diminish her not so wonderful life situation. You will find yourself rooting for her from beginning to end.
There is a cute semi-romantic relationship between Cinder and Prince Kai and one of the things I appreciated about their relationship is that it has time to develop. Kai's character is very likeable. He is a noble Prince who has been forced to grow up fast but he takes his role in stride and is dedicated to helping his people. He has the weight of the world on his shoulders as he searches for the cure to a world wide plague, tries to alleviate tension between Earth and the Lunar.
I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series. When this book was over, I literally cried out in frustration. I was not ready for it to be over and I wanted it to keep going. That's a sign of a good book. Meyer sets up the end nicely for the next book and I can't wait to find out with Cinder will do. I highly recommend this book to people of all ages. It's a great read/listen.
"Oh Oh - Hooked At the Start of a Promising Series"
I recently took a chance on two books that were getting rave reviews. One of them was a big disappointment and is not the start of a series. This one (which is part of a series) actually sounded a little lame to me - but the reviewers convinced me to spend my credit and that turned out to be a great decision.
The author and narrator have come up with a smart, entertaining storyline with a twist of an old fairy tale thrown in.
I wanted to read the next book right away and unfortunately have to wait until this author churns out the next of three more fairy tale themed books. A google search informs me that the second is called Scarlett and is based on Little Red Riding Hood and it will be released Feb 13, 2012.
The nice thing about discovering a series late is you get to read the books close together.
Along with the other reviewers here, my advice is to get this book. But, if you don't want to go through an excruciating wait -- time your listening to Cinder for Feb 6, 2013.
"Terminator Meets Popular Mechanic"
I first noticed this book on my daughter's reading blog and I trust her judgement most of the time when it comes to YA literature because it is her passion. She reads it,she reviews it, and she teaches it. So, I decided to read it because I hadn't read any YA so far this year and I love fairy tales retold. Let me tell you, this is a winner. It is Cinderella meets Sci Fi/dystopian, a time far far into the future, and Popular Mechanic/Terminator. I liked it much more than I thought I would BUT was let down at the end. I thought it was too abrupt. To see what I mean you'll have it read it for yourself and you won't be sorry.
"Let's hear it for adaptations!"
I haven't read any adaptations that I can remember at the moment, but even if I did, this would be the best one. All I can say is-Wow.
Every element of the classic story was there and even though I could see what was going to happen, it was delivered so well that I didn't care. Some would say that the ending was a cliffhanger. Being that the series is continuing, I feel more like it was 'chapter' to the story and didn't feel like a cliffhanger (which you know I hate with the heat of 1000 suns).
I purchased the 2nd ebook in the series, Scarlet, along with the audiobook version, before I was even halfway done with this one.
I highly recommend this series, even if sci-fi is not your normal genre, I am labeling it as scifi, but it didn't (IMO) 'read' like scifi. Great book and I can't wait for more from Ms. Meyer.
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"I Loved This Story"
STORY - Yes, there is a parallel with the Cinderella fairy tale, but there's so much more! This story is unique, fast-paced, suspenseful and heartwarming. It has a cliffhanger ending. Reviews indicate that Scarlet (Book 2) is mainly about new characters and that the story of Cinder and Kai progresses only slightly. While that is frustrating, I am excited at the prospect of things getting more juicy and complicated than if they had ended in this book.
NARRATOR - Rebecca Soler is very, very good. She does male voices well and also a couple convincing foreign accents.
BOTTOM LINE - You should definitely listen to Cinder, but realize that it will take at least two more books to find out how the story ends.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
"A New Take on Cinderella"
Yes this is a Cinderella type story that totally surprised me with how much I enjoyed it. This new Cinder is a mechanic and seems to be the sole provider for her family, which consists of a step mother and two step sisters. Only one of the sisters is kind to Cinder. When her father was still alive she had an accident and is saved with new cyber technology. There are many things that are similar between the stories but many differences. The plague twist makes it even more interesting. I can't wait for the next book in this series. I hope audible adds it soon.
Oh yeah this is a YA story, and I am an adult but I really, really enjoyed it.
I am a clay sculptor and an art instructor at a community college. I mostly listen to audiobooks while I work in my home studio.
"Just what I was looking for"
This was a light, enjoyable listen. On the surface a mix of science fiction, fantasy, coming-of-age and romance (but not too heavy on the romance).
I picked it for a light story to listen to while working in my studio at home. I stayed with it because I enjoyed the characters and the slightly more complex that you'd expect retelling of the story. But I'm looking forward to the next one because I really enjoyed the descriptions of the biological, mechanical, social and political world in which these characters operate. Vivid and evocative without being heavy and dully. I feel like I can picture Cinder's world and I feel like it's a real place (or could be).
I'd recommend it. But you'll have to wait for the next one in the series--because you'll want to stick with this character after the end of this book.
"For the young adult."
I'll admit it takes a very good book to get a 4 star rating out of me. This one didn't. It was okay. Plot, narration, writing were all very middle of the road. The similarity to the Cinderella tale was so loose it could have been left out. The less discerning reader of young reader would likely be the best audience.
Actor/director/teacher. Split my time between Beijing and Seattle now. Listen to Audible on the subway and while driving. Love the reviews.
"Not ready for prime time"
With fear and trembling I beg to offer a minority opinion. I found this book to be poorly written, devoid of surprises, unimaginative and often shockingly illogical.
In a nation beset by a plague which is killing thousands of people, why would there be a program in which random uninfected citizens would be injected with the virus so that they could be given experimental antidotes? With hard drives already on their way to becoming a thing of the past today, why would they be an integral part of the computing technology of the distant future? And in a society where transportation is based on "hovers," why would there still be conventional streets at all much less an old internal combustion vehicle still visible and salvageable in a junk yard? And the gasoline for this dinosaur?
These are only a few of the myriad lapses which make the book completely unconvincing and repeatedly jarred me out of the world in which the story takes place.
Rebecca Soler soldiers on through this silliness adequately, even when Meyer forces her to read flat out malapropisms. Was there an editor involved with this book?
This is all pretty sad because I was looking forward to listening to Cinder based on the concept and all the glowing reviews. Not to mention that well turned ankle in the scarlet pump on the cover. Sadly the cover art turned out to be the best part of the book.
"Unexpectedly good"
I don't really know what made me download this book to begin with, but I am glad I did. It is an interesting idea based loosely on Cinderella. Just remember it is a YA book.

Look, I've never been a Rick Neuheisel hater; in fact, I always thought he was a good coach but just drug down by mediocre to poor assistant coaches and an incompetent administration. Until now.
Jon Gold has apparently been moonlighting over at BRO and posted this article. Gold always seemed to have a great connection with Kevin Prince so its no surprise that he got KP's parents to give a really forthcoming interview. KP's mom said the following, talking about hardships that KP has had to deal with.
"I don't know how any young man can rise above this," Meredith Prince said. "Rise above someone who screams at you on the sidelines, who belittles you behind closed doors. He has. He says it makes him stronger. I would go to bed crying because of the crap he had to put up with. It's not an easy subject for me.
Now we all know about the screaming on the sidelines. But I always heard the term "player's coach" associated with Neuheisel. If he was belittling the players behind closed doors, no wonder the they didn't buy in and we had discipline problems on the field.

QUESTION: Hi. My name is Rob Porter, and I'm from Irvine, California. I have a question for Hillary Clinton. Mrs. Clinton, how would you define the word "liberal?" And would you use this word to describe yourself? Thank you.
CLINTON: You know, it is a word that originally meant that you were for freedom, that you were for the freedom to achieve, that you were willing to stand against big power and on behalf of the individual.
Unfortunately, in the last 30, 40 years, it has been turned up on its head and it's been made to seem as though it is a word that describes big government, totally contrary to what its meaning was in the 19th and early 20th century.
I prefer the word "progressive," which has a real American meaning, going back to the progressive era at the beginning of the 20th century.
I consider myself a modern progressive, someone who believes strongly in individual rights and freedoms, who believes that we are better as a society when we're working together and when we find ways to help those who may not have all the advantages in life get the tools they need to lead a more productive life for themselves and their family.
So I consider myself a proud modern American progressive, and I think that's the kind of philosophy and practice that we need to bring back to American politics.
COOPER: So you wouldn't use the word "liberal," you'd say "progressive."

We could see it develop by Thursday afternoon and cover the northern half of the area through at least Friday morning. Freezing rain, sleet and snow may be the problem precipitation types.
As usual, most of the ArkLaTex is forecast to be close to freezing making this outlook uncertain.

Hills To Hollers: Barbara Higbie, Laurie Lewis, Linda Tillery; Monday, August 26, 2013
Hills To Hollers: Barbara Higbie, Laurie Lewis, Linda Tillery
Monday, August 26
Kuumbwa Jazz
"…exploring the interplay of black and white Southern musical traditions." – All About Jazz
Bluegrass legend Laurie Lewis, Cultural Heritage Choir leader Linda Tillery and Grammy nominated singer/songwriter/pianist Barbara Higbie have created a vocal trio that taps into the most primordial roots of the American musical experience. Hills to Hollers explores American music from the hills and homelands of bluegrass and country, to the work songs and hollers of the African-American tradition. Performing with soulful abandon, these women add their own stylistic stamp to the oeuvre of Southern music – spreading the joy and history of this American art form.
Hills to Hollers paints a compelling musical portrait of the South, as befits a trio as esteemed as this one. Though they've long played and sung individually in the same circles, it's the first-ever collaborative effort between this trio of musicians. Laurie Lewis, a renowned bluegrass vocalist, handles guitar and fiddle in the group. Linda Tillery, brings her gospel roots to the stage, and Barbara Higbie, a championship fiddler as well as a jazz pianist, acts as musical director of the show and provides additional soaring harmonies.
Lewis has been an active participant in the American folk music scene since the mid 70's, when she began playing music in San Francisco. Since then she's appeared on the Grand Ole Opry, A Prairie Home Companion and has released over fifteen albums. Tillery has made a name for herself as a singer and percussionist since after starting out in the San Francisco scene in the late 1960's. She currently leads the renowned African music group Cultural Heritage Choir. Midwest-raised/San Francisco-based Higbie cut her teeth on the Windham Hill label in the eighties and has been active touring and recording ever since.
The trio released Hills To Hollers: Live! in 2012, recorded in-concert and featuring many of the crowd-pleasing songs from their setlist. When asked how the trio goes about choosing material, Lewis says "we just get together…and see what fits us…we like the material that seems to be from that time in American history when rural people, black and white, played and sang a similar repertoire." The carefully chosen songs all have stories behind them, which the trio brings to life onstage. Rarely has a concert doubled as such an enjoyable history lesson. As Higbie puts it, "These tunes represent the basis of all popular American music. Sung well, they can send shivers up your spine and your spirits soaring."

Apparently you can teach an old dog new tricks. With the Lakers' season on the line, Kobe Bryant embraced the role of a distributor, leading L.A. to consecutive home wins over the Jazz and the Thunder.
After averaging 14 assists and 3 turnovers in those two wins, he even jokingly called himself "Kobe Johnson."
With Dwight Howard and Steve Nash still not 100% and Pau Gasol struggling with his role in Mike D'Antoni's offense, Kobe is the only Lakers star comfortable getting his own shot at any time. By embracing a more pass-first role, he allows everyone else to get going offensively, which, in turn, improves the Lakers defensively by cutting down on the number of turnovers and transition points allowed.
Over at Silver Screen And Roll, SB Nation's Lakers blog, they have a look at how the L.A. players have adjusted to their new roles in the last two games.
On Tuesday, the Lakers will try to keep their new-found momentum going against the Hornets, who have won 8 of their last 12 games after starting the season 7-25. That stretch has coincided with the return of Eric Gordon, whom they signed to a max deal in the offseason, from knee surgery.
Gordon is still rounding into shape but is already averaging 16 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds a game, and he gives New Orleans another offensive weapon on the perimeter. As a result, Kobe may have to dig deep on both sides of the ball on Tuesday.
At The Hive, SB Nation's Hornets blog, has a look at how Gordon has played since coming back and what he means for the franchise's future.
Just as intriguing is the match-up in the front-court, where No. 1 overall pick Anthony Davis will square off against Howard and Gasol. Davis is averaging 12 points, 8 rebounds and 2 steals a game on 52% shooting, but the Lakers will be one of the only front-lines he sees who won't be overwhelmed by his length.
On the Lakers side of things, another storyline worth watching will be the return of backup point guard Steve Blake, who has played in only 7 games this season due to a groin injury. Blake gives L.A. another ball-handler and could help them solidify their bench, which has been a glaring weakness for most of the year.

A Cannon County woman has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit claiming a Middle Tennessee restaurant fired her after she complained of co-workers sharing a nude photo of her.
In the lawsuit filed Tuesday, Jennifer Madonia alleges Uncle Bud's Catfish Shack in Murfreesboro fired her after she found out a co-worker obtained a nude photo of her and was showing other co-workers.
The lawsuit does not mention how the co-worker obtained the photo.
The lawsuit states that after Madonia complained to her manager, she learned that the supervisors were continuing to pass the images among themselves.
Madonia said she reported the activity to her manager and the manager said there would be an investigation, but instead, her hours were cut back.
The lawsuit then says Madonia was fired when she asked her boss why her hours were cut.
Madonia filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in May of 2013 and received a "Notice of Right to Sue" in December.
She is suing for damages, to get her job back with full back pay, and her attorney fees.
News 2 went to find the owners of the Uncle Bud's Murfreesboro location, but it is now closed.
Five out of six Uncle Bud's location are closed and the only location still in operation is in Donelson.
The general manager of the location identified himself as the father of the former owner of the Uncle Bud's restaurants, Craig Dever, who is named in the lawsuit.
But he said neither Dever nor Jay Smith, who is also named in the suit, are affiliated with the Uncle Bud's in Donelson.
He also said he had no comment on the lawsuit because he had not been served with the suit.
The general manager added he was not sure if his son or his former business partner had been formally served with the lawsuit.
News 2 also went to the address listed in the lawsuit as the place to serve the lawsuit and the address is a former Uncle Bud's location that is being renovated for a new restaurant not affiliated with Uncle Bud's.
Calls and emails to Madonia's attorney were not immediately returned.
Paz Haynes is an attorney with Bones McAllester Norton specializing in employment law.
He is not affiliated with either side of the case, but reviewed the federal lawsuit.
"These are very serious allegations involving work place misconduct, the misuse of social media and technology, and retaliation," he said. "Both parties have a right to be heard and gather evidence to determine what really happened."
Haynes said the odds do not favor the employee in most workplace discrimination cases.
"Statistics have shown that a majority of work place discrimination lawsuits, employment discrimination lawsuits or what have you are resolved in favor of the employer," he said.

I made a bunch of animated GIFs last year for game threads, so I thought it might be helpful to put them one place for reference. Then I realized that nobody reads my blog and it might be more useful to post these somewhere where people will see them. If you're looking for other GIFs, I can't help you with that, I only post the ones I've made. Maybe someone could add some of the other favorites (or links to the other GIF threads that I can't find) in the comments...
After a long, dark winter and a (seemingly) longer spring training, it's finally here. We finally get to see games that count with lineups loaded with backups and journeymen filling in for the injured and prospects held back to wait out the arbitration clock. Baseball's back!
Yeah, these games might not matter that much if you're a fan of a team that has its sights set on 2015. Or a payroll of $20,150,000 if you're a fan of the Astros or Marlins. That doesn't mean we can't have fun, though you should really get warmed up before any game activity. Since most of us won't be getting closer to a game than discussion threads on blogs, that means getting ready to jump in with appropriate imagery based on the situation. I'm never up on the latest memes, but I do have some handcrafted GIFs suitable for all occasions. While this is not the most comprehensive collection of baseball GIFs, they should play smoothly. Beyond that, I guarantee nothing.
You might not get many chances to use these with the Mets this year, so you'll want to be quick on the draw. Here are a few that might come in handy.
Here's a multipurpose image good for cocky rookies, home runs, or Papelbon meltdowns.
For David Wright walk-offs, look no further than this scene from July 5, right before the Mets imploded last year when spirits were high and the playoffs were a possibility.
Looking for child-like glee in the dugout? R.A. Dickey has that covered in this scene from the Wright walk-off. Sure, he's gone, but it's not like we're going to scrub all traces of Dickey from this site.
For a one-hitter, here's another Dickey, this time on the mound after his second in as many starts.
If a one-hitter isn't good enough for you, here's Johan Santana celebrating his (umpire-assisted) no-hitter (#BlameBeltran) back when his shoulder was in better shape. Or even shoulder-shape.
Daniel Murphy took a while to get his first home run last year, then had to wait a while longer before he could find someone to give him five. Up high, up high, down low, anyone, anyone, Bueller?
Home Runs
Here are some helpful depictions of what you want your favorite players to do when they come up to bat. Some of them might need to review these to refresh their memory...
Ike Davis is a safe bet to hit a few of these, so keep this one close at hand. Also good for taunting Nick Swisher and/or the Yankees.
Looking for one with more Mets, less Swish? Here's a good dugout reaction shot.
Lucas Duda is also a legitimate home run threat. If only they let him use a bat in the field...
Daniel Murphy didn't have many of these last year, so don't miss your chance to call his next home run.
Looking for some PapeLOLbon? JV1 has you covered.
Fielding matters too, especially if you're not scoring many runs and your bullpen is a work in progress.
There are no words.
Respect. There are no other words.
Blame Beltran? Not this time.
If you absolutely, positively, will not allow any ball to drop, you need to make this face.
Are you ready for some bloopers? Provide your own non-infringing soundalike knockoff version of Centerfield for background music.
Somehow a life-size Mr. Met bobblehead is only the second strangest thing here.
Justin Turner is a great clubhouse guy. He's in his element here in this shot of the dugout. On the field on the other hand...
Sadly, we will need to hand this one off to the Yankees. Here's hoping for some games against the Red Sox in 2014 or 2015.
A-Rod fall down and go boom. Always a good bet to look silly or get injured. At least he can laugh about it.
Missed it by that much...
Proof that there are limits to what PEDs can do for you.
You hit one of ours, we'll hit one of yours. In the same half-inning. More PapeLOLbon fodder.
Sweep the leg! There's bound to be plenty of discussion about blocking the plate this year, so this should be relevant.
Best of luck to the AL East.

Oh, the office. I'll be honest with you. For awhile the changes I was making didn't feel right to me. I'm not sure what was bothering me about it. Are the walls too dark? Did I make a mistake painting the trim dark? Is there enough color? The other thing that was grating on me was the fact that we weren't using the room as an actual office. It was a gift wrapping station. It was a dumping ground. It was a giant laundry basket. It was really everything but an office! We didn't spend time in there, which was so discouraging. So I walked away for a bit.
And while I wasn't physically working on the office, the room was always on my mind. How can I make it better? What's missing? And then *DING* I got hit with the obvious stick. It was missing its final layer! That's why it wasn't looking right! Sure, there was paint on the walls and furniture in each corner… but it hadn't been "dressed" in any sort of way. And I'm not talking styling here. I'm talking functional stuff to make it a real office. So of course we didn't use it as an office… it's not even equipped to handle any sort of office activity.
I know this all sounds very obvious and derp but it's a perfect example of being a little too close to a problem to effectively problem solve…
Here is the office as of a few hours ago.
Look! There's task lighting, a printer, under-desk storage with a drawer full of PENS! It's an actual functioning office! *bangs head against wall*
Here's where we were pre-final layer. Yep, it looked OK, but unless "working in the office" equals "napping on the daybed" it really wasn't functional. Ok, napping does equal work some of the time, but you know what I mean…
During our two week break around Christmas, things really started to fall into place with this room. Everything I tried seemed to work well. We were spending time in there. I remember a certain weekend we spent both days in there. I was working on invitations and Aaron was working on his website. It was glorious.
The biggest difference was the addition of storage. We had a place to hide our tools, paper and supplies, thanks to the ALEX from IKEA. I added these adhesive bookplates to make it look a little more unique. I will add writing to the labels when I have a better sense of what works best where.
The inside of the drawers are organized too, thanks to the cut-to-size SUMMERA. Suddenly everything on the desk had a place to live.
On top of the desk we added two task lamps (IKEA again… RANARP) and a printer (a Canon PIXMA). This is the first time I've had a printer at home in awhile and it makes crafting so much easier.
The focused light the two desk lamps provide have also turned out to be a huge help. Dark walls = dark room, despite the loads of light the overhead pendant gives out. The lamps provide a "comfy glow" (can that be a thing?) in the evening, making working (especially work work) somewhat bearable.
So yea, we're thrilled with how this room turned out. I wouldn't go as far as calling it a "final reveal"… there are a few things we'd still love to do (like getting those chairs upholstered) but that won't happen for awhile I am sure. We're lucky the existing upholstery tends to blend in…
Before I sign off, here is the official "before" picture from this post.
And here is where we are today… oh you know, only 1.5 years later.
And for the record… it doesn't normally take me 1.5 years to complete a project. A year? Probably!
To recap this project, here are all of the related posts in chronological (start to finish) order.
The official before picture and why I'm switching the room from my bedroom to an office.
The design plan (which I didn't follow).
My thought process for picking the dark paint color.
A BIG update! The new desk and ceiling light.
The closet trim, painted (small space eye trick!)
The raw pine desktop, stained to match the other wood tones in the house.
Caulking and re-painting the window sills and installing fancy closet door pulls.
Phew! It feels good to have this space in a good place. It also feels good to have this post done… 'twas a doozy!
What's next? Well… I've got a living room with a few changes underway and a kitchen that's barely been touched. Should be fun!

WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- Erik Kofler, a Whitman College senior from Walla Walla, Wash., has been named Northwest Conference men's basketball Player of the Week.
Kofler, a 6-foot-8 center, scored 41 points, grabbed 16 rebounds and swatted four blocked shots as Whitman split a pair of games last weekend in its annual Wildhorse Resort Classic.
Kofler had his best game in Saturday's 98-93 victory over previously undefeated Concordia University. He scored a career-high 28 points against Cavaliers while snaring 13 rebounds. He also had four blocks and two steals in that game.
With Whitman off to a 2-1 start, Kofler is leading the Missionaries in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots, averaging 20.7 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks. He ranks second in the Northwest Conference in rebounding and blocks and third in scoring.
A year ago, Kofler was named NWC Player of the Week in early December. He won that award after scoring 59 points and grabbing 39 rebounds in three games.
Whitman plays its first two NWC games this weekend in western Oregon. The Missionaries are at Linfield on Friday and George Fox on Saturday. Whitman then returns to non-conference play for the next month.

Alright people it's that time again! Figured that with season ending we could use a nice distraction from the boringness of the offseason and what better way to do that then starting back up our BMO leagues. The rules are pretty straight forward but if you have any questions feel free to ask in the threads!
Minor Points
- I don't really feel like having to deal with being a commissioner so if somebody else wants to do it then that would be just great.
- Old users should be able to reclaim their old teams first, then returning users who wish to claim new teams get priority and then finally new users will be able to pick from the remaining scraps.
- The Rays are impossible to win with so don't pick them.
- We should probably get a separate forum going again.
- Yes this is horribly addicting. No you don't need to be able to spend hours a day in front of a computer to be good at it. I've built dynasties by micromanaging every little detail and I've built a dynasty while backpacking across Scandinavia with 15 minutes of internet access every 5 days.
- A season generally takes 7 days real time. The first season we will take it slow for the new players then crank it up to speed when people get the hang of it.
- There are a few know players from the last run through that create super glitchy stat lines that we will need to cut through.
- Seriously don't pick the Rays no matter how amazing you think that you or Evan Longoria are.
- Fake Baseball!
- It's Free!

"Card turned out even better than I anticipated. Graphic design & scale perfect for my photograph. Paper quality of the card and envelope exceptional. Excellent customer service - thank you Brian! Quick turnaround. Very pleased."
"Our cards came out beautiful! I made three different ones because I just couldn't decide, but this one was my favorite. It was more expensive than the others, but it was worth it. The foil shines beautifully and adds just the right amount of holiday shimmer."
"Our card turned out beautiful, perfect! Got so many compliments this year:) The foil was stamped text and design elements really added to this simple chic layout. Loved it!!!"
"This card is perfect for wide shots! It is decorated just enough to make it festive and Christmasy without compromising a higher quality photographic image. I was also impressed with the speed of delivery compared to other big named card companies that I used during previous years. Even their packaging made me smile! These guys will continue to receive my business."
"I love the design of this card. My picture wasn't the best in the world, but the artsy design of the card, and the editing options made it look fun and festive! Thanks for a great product and great service!"

Food Assistance and Nutrition Research Report No. (FANRR36) 33 pp,
September 2003
This study examines dynamics in poverty and food insufficiency using newly available longitudinal data from the 1993 panel of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) and the follow-on Survey of Program Dynamics (SPD). The study uses these data to characterize the incidence and dynamics of poverty and food problems for the entire U.S. population and for different subgroups. It also estimates multivariate, discrete-choice regression models to examine the factors associated with transitions into and out of poverty and food insufficiency, and it analyzes the empirical results in the context of a life-cycle model of income and food consumption. Results indicate that the incidence of food insufficiency in the United States is lowless than 3 percent in 1997. There also appears to be little persistence in food problems; 79 percent of people in households with food problems at the start of the study period were in households without problems 2 years later. The multivariate results indicate that female-headed households face an especially high risk of being food insufficient. Low levels of asset income, an indicator of a household's ability to spread consumption over time, are also associated with food sufficiency problems.
