So all of this talk about the Cubs/Sox series and Ozzie gasping for attention has gotten me thinking about how we see other managers, especially the ones we play the most. There are good managers that we don't like (but most likely respect) because they put their teams in position to win, then there are managers who have histories with the Cubs (who we just generally dislike), and then there are just other managers. I came up with a list of managers that we play often (shouldn't be any surprises on there) and I'm interested in hearing what you all think about them as baseball fans and as Cubs fans.
Tony La Russa I think is one of the best managers in the game. He's been around forever and is always on top of getting the most out of his staff and his players. He knows what he's doing and is able to utilize his players and their abilities to their best and churn out winning seasons, even without the best teams. He also has Mr. Pujols, which helps. A little.
Dusty Baker is a manager who was loved when he first came to Chicago. You know his exit story. Seems like we gave Reds fans a lot of crap when he was hired there. He's done a decent job, but the talent he's brought in hasn't exactly been amazing (a lot of guys who used to suit up for us). Given the right situation, he knows what he's doing. But he can't expect to be put in a situation where everyone is a proven veteran. If he can't handle or manage young players, he shouldn't be in baseball.
Ken Macha seems like a guy who knows what he's doing for the most part, and has made some great moves by putting his team in first. I know it's a shaky first, but many baseball experts thought they wouldn't be close to that this season. I never thought much of Yost. He just seemed to throw in whoever he could. I don't know if it was Yost, Acta, or just Rickie Weeks, but Weeks was, for the first time, living up to his potential this year, and that didn't happen under Yost.
Ozzie is a guy I've never had much respect for. Players like playing for him because he seems to treat them like one of the guys. As a manager, I don't think he does a great job. Josh Fields, Brian Anderson, and several of their young pitchers had a lot of talent and he seems to or has misused them. When he does that and they turn out to be busts, he casts them off and bad mouths them (see Magglio Ordonez, Carlos Lee). Sometimes he even does it to his own team, in public. Talk about embarrassing. He says he loves the game and playing, but it seems to me like he just loves the White Sox. Which is fine. But there's no reason to go out and bad mouth everything you don't like. Everyone knows someone like this, who complains all the time. And generally, we don't like this person.
Cecil Cooper's verdict is still out. So far it's not great though. He's certainly on the hot seat. He has oodles of talent on the offensive side of the game and his team has struggled with hitting. The Astros are very good at acquiring players past their prime. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with Cooper though. When Hunter Pence first came up, I thought he was going to be a huge star. Speedy, decent arm, decent pop. He hasn't really done anything significant for long stretches of time though. Seems like Cooper could have stepped in and helped him out.
Three managers I have a lot respect for, Joe Maddon, Ron Gardenhire, and Bobby Cox. All have three different styles of managing and three different approaches to the game. But all find ways to win, especially when given bad situations. How can you not respect Cox and his success for IIRC 14 straight playoff appearances?! Unfathomable, especially as a Cubs fan. Gardenhire and Maddon came into their managing positions with teams who had talent and losing histories. Both have turned that culture and mindset around for their respective clubs.
Mike Scioscia is another who belongs in that catagory.

Town Square
A quick question about Dublin

I guess it was once Komandorski Village then Arryo Vista. Apparently it is/was owned by HUD or Dublin and it was subsidized housing. It is either being upgraded or was sold to developers and it is going to be leveled and other private market rate housing is going in. That is very poor understanding and obviously answers about nothing.

Interesting. I looked on the around dublin blog site but didn't see anything there about it.

It has been approved that removal of 150 existing
units and construction of 378 attached and detached
units will be built.
Construction will be by Eden homes and Citation builders

I lived in Komandorski Village and went to Camp Parks Elementary. Some of my best memories are of my time there. Does anyone remember living there around this time? I lived there with my folks... there are 9 children in my family.. we basically had an upstairs and downstairs apt. I believe it might have been low income housing. We always had live music in our yards.. my sister, my cousins and friends not forgotten... I CAN SEE your face but have lost your name! I remember the Oakland Raiders coming to dedicate a park ( I believe it was...something(?) ARNOLD PARK ) We were close to a big hill that us children used to call Devil's Hill or Mountain? I'd love to hear any stories or recollections of others that these things sound familiar to <3
on Mar 20, 2013 at 7:01 pm
Kormandorski Village was public tax dollars, as was the replacement Arroyo Vista, as is the newer, better, grander development.. We certainly wouldn't want any of the residents to have to live WITHOUT newer and better, the way many of us taxpayers do. AND, believing in personal financial responsibility, I only had one child, thus able to live with whatever we could afford ourselves.
Condoms should be included (required) with all public programs, enabling only short-term assistance and personal resonsibility.

↵Heading into Wednesday night's nationally televised game between the Phillies and Cubs, all the talk was about Pedro Martinez's first start for the defending world champions. And while Pedro was unspectacularly solid through five innings, giving up three runs on seven hits while striking out five on 99 pitches, the story of the game has to be the Phillies' offense waking up from a weeklong nap. Philly scored eight in the fourth inning off first-time starter Jeff Samardzija and reliever Sean Marshall en route to a 12-5 win. ↵↵
↵That had to be the story of the game, I should say, until this guy decided to show off to his friends and throw a beer at Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino as he was catching a fly ball on the warning track. Victorino somehow managed to hang on to the ball. That's why he's an All-Star, folks. ↵
↵This guy? Not so much. ↵↵
↵ ↵↵
↵Get a good look at him in the front row, standing there with his hat and his wristbands and his slack-jawed grin, because it should be the last time he's ever allowed at Wrigley Field. Fans growing up in the Philadelphia area constantly hear about snowballs at Santa Claus and batteries at J.D. Drew, and nobody seems to take issue with the fact that they were isolated incidents. In the case of the batteries, it was a couple of morons in the outfield. ↵↵
↵ ↵↵
↵Well, Chicago has its fair share of morons, too. And the biggest moron Wednesday was this guy. Not only did the guy throw a beer at a player while the ball was in play, he had enough class to allow another drunk fan to get thrown out on his behalf. And, when questioned by security, he claimed it wasn't him. He obviously forgot that the game was on THREE different television networks (if he even remembered his own name at this point), so the entire country got to see what kind of jerk he is. ↵↵
↵And this shouldn't be taken lightly. What this guy did was extremely dangerous. And it's not the first time fans in Chicago assaulted someone on the field. Sure, this is just a beer and not a vicious beating of a first-base coach, but it's still a criminal act. And it's the exact same thing that started a melee from which the NBA still hasn't fully recovered. ↵↵
↵To his credit, Victorino took it in stride, even joking about it with Phillies broadcaster Gary Matthews after the game. ↵↵
↵⇥"I had a feeling yesterday something like this might happen," Victorino explained. "I've seen it happen a lot of times before. ↵⇥It definitely got in my face and all over me. He had perfect timing … you have to tip your hat to the guy." ↵↵On a night that was supposed to be about Pedro's victorious return to the majors, or the return of the offensive prowess that has the Phils five games up in the National League East, we're all talking about this guy. ↵
↵ ↵↵
↵Cubs fans sent Bartman into hiding for simply trying to catch a ball he thought was foul. Let's hope this guy gets the same kind of treatment. ↵↵

We read with some interest the recent article in The Daily Star regarding the demise of the GED in NYS. We were some relieved when we discovered, upon reading beyond the headline, that the GED was being replaced with a new high school equivalency test called the Test Assessment Secondary Completion or TASC.
Now we must admit that we really knew little, if anything, about questions asked for the GED. But now, with all the changes in the focus of education associated with the Common Core curriculum, we were curious about the new testing system. And thus we went online to see what we might discover.
Much to our delight we found, on the TASC website, www.tascteat.com, sample questions for the testing program. We discovered the test seems to be divided into five sections, mathematics, science, social studies, reading and writing. Since it was listed first, we dove directly into the section on mathematics.
The first question read: "When a spherical balloon is filled with air, it has a diameter of 6 inches. Which of the following gives the best estimate for the volume of air in the balloon in cubic inches? A. 63.6 B. 108.0 C. 113.1 D. 150.8"
Now we suspect, if one knows the formula for finding the volume of the sphere, this is not a particularly difficult question. We also suspect that at some point in our life, perhaps even in high school, we knew the formula for finding the volume of a sphere. However, since graduating from high school close to 50 years ago, we must confess that we have never encountered the need to compute the volume of a sphere. Of course, we cannot speak for anyone else's need to calculate the volume of a sphere as our lifetime experience with the problem may be unique. For all we know, others have been figuring the volume of spheres on a regular basis. And since it is the first sample question given we can but conclude it is an important exercise for today's students.

Speeding in Cullompton cause for concern
8:00am Saturday 3rd November 2012 in Cullompton
DRIVERS are being warned to watch their speed on a stretch of road in Cullompton to avoid being involved in a nasty crash.
Some motorists have been clocked travelling at over 45mph in Millennium Way, which has a 30mph speed limit.
A spokesman for Devon and Corn-wall Police said if people continue to drive too fast on the road measures will be brought in.
He said: "People need to be driving safe on this road, within the speed limit and according to the conditions.
"With winter come darker nights, wet roads and the risk of ice on cold nights, so people need to take extra care to ensure that they drive safe and their car lights are correct.
"Enforcement measures will be looked at and educating drivers to make sure the road's safe."
Police have established the speeding problem using detection equipment, both undercover and using visible mobile vans, and this has resulted in a number of motorists being pulled over and warned about their driving.
A number of drivers have picked up £60 fixed penalty notices as well as three points on their licence as a result of their speed on the stretch of road.
PC Graham Custance, neighbourhood beat manager for Cullompton Town, said speeding was becoming an issue, adding that Millennium Way has several bus stops, unpaved walkways and a children's play area which drivers need to consider when they use the road.

JASON FOUX had an itch. And like any itch, it wasn't going to leave him alone until it was scratched.
Foux scratched.
His itch isn't that uncommon, to be honest. But Foux's reaction was.
Many men, of any age, get a longing to travel. Foux wasn't to be satisfied by any ordinary vacation. No, he wanted to just get up and go; be on the move. No plans, no destinations, no return date.
Foux took that trip – with a pack on his back and the pavement at his feet – and traveled up and down nearly the entire East coast.
He always knew it would be a one-way trip, leading right back to his front door, but that's about all Foux had in mind.
What took place was a two-month journey that took Foux from Louisiana to Rhode Island and back. He called his journey his walkabout, more about internal growth than just sightseeing.
When he returned home, he set out on his next journey. Once completed, he published his book An American Walkabout, which follows his journey from start to finish.
We caught up with Foux, and asked him about his trip, his return and his book:
The Man F.A.Q.: You have an interesting nickname, Newanderthal. Where did you come by it?
Jason Foux: Before my trip, I was thinking a lot about some of the things I would be doing. I had spent a lot of time camping, sleeping in the woods. I was thinking about being primitive, thinking about the neanderthals, the hunter-gatherers. That kind of worked into it. I knew (on my journey) I had no set destination, so I slipped 'wander' into it.
TMF: So, why this long backpacking trip? I mean, you basically lived like a homeless person, right? What was your driving force?
JF: I always had a wanderlust. Being in one place didn't set well with me. I was always happy on road trips, backpacking trips. I was intent on taking a prolonged backpacking trip, and I didn't want to have a goal in mind. I just had to go out and explore. The urge became stronger over time. I realized I wasn't going to get any younger. About a year and a half ago, I just started making preparations.
TMF: Preparations? Didn't you just have to grab your pack and go?
JF: I did a lot of conditioning. I wanted to make it farther than the edge of town. Once I actually set a date, it was a little more than a year our. I started working out at the high school track. I did a lap, followed by going up and down the bleachers. I also bought new backpacking gear. I started conditioning about a year and a half before the trip, but I later realized I could have done it all in about three or four months.
TMF: So you said you got all new gear. What all did you take with you?
JF: I had an internal frame pack, nothing special. I took a tarp shelter, water, my alcohol stove, a pot, some food, extra clothes, a sleeping bag and a light. When I left, my pack weighed about 50 points. … I quickly found out that I'd overpacked. On the trip, I would get rid of things. I lost about 15 pounds off the pack.
TMF: So your pack lost weight. Did you? What did you do for food?
JF: I lost between 15 and 17 pounds. What I found, in the eastern half of the United States, you're almost always within a few hours' walk of food. I never had to carry more than about a day-and-a-half worth of food.
TMF: When most people think of backpacking, they think of mountains and streams. Was that like your trip, or was it more urban?
JF: Whenever I was on the road, I was hitchhiking. I'd spend days or weeks in towns and cities, but I spent a lot of the time in woods and fields. I did a lot of cutting cross-country, so it was a mixture. I spent a lot of time in Providence, R.I., but I when I was in North Carolina, I spent a week in the mountains.
TMF: I read on your blog (newanderthal.blogspot.com) that your diary was stolen when you were in New York. How did you handle that?
JF: What I did was, as soon as I got a replacement notebook, I sat down and spent 12 hours writing and trying to remember everything I'd done. I maybe wrote half of what was in the original journal. That took a lot out of me. When it happened, I kind of wanted to go home. I was heartbroken. It was the most important thing that I had. All those memories and experiences were gone, and there was no way to get them back. There was no way for me to remember all the little details. At the same time, I learned from it. I found ways to have backups of everything I wrote.
TMF: Like your blog. How did you maintain that while you were on the road?
JF: As best I could. I went mostly into stores like Staples and Best Buy, every now and then a Radio Shack. At first I was looking for public libraries, but they're hard to see. You can see a Best Buy from a mile off.
TMF: And eventually you made it back home and wrote your book. Did you know there would be a book?
JF: I'm a writer, been writing for years. Before I left I figured there'd be a book. That was one of the reasons I took so many notes.
TMF: What was your process?
JF: What I did was just read my journal, maybe five or 10 pages. I'd read the journal, and it would refresh my memory. Then I sat down and just wrote from that. The book is really just my journey, kind of day by day. There's no particular format other than just the way the trip developed.
TMF: Was there any trouble adjusting back to a more normal life?
JF: Cooking, for one. The first time I went to cook a meal, I took my alcohol stove and pot from my backpack. I'd go look for something, and I'd look in my backpack. It was hard to get out of the old habits. I was used to sleeping when I was tired and eating when I was hungry. It was hard to get back on society's schedule.
TMF: What about your family; what was it like to see them? What about your girlfriend?
JF: I was thrilled. I kept in touch as best I could with e-mail. When I got back into town, the first thing I did was track down my family. My girlfriend was the first person I actually saw. When I started to head back home, I didn't tell anyone I was going. On my blog, I said there was another destination, but I didn't say where.
TMF: Elaborate on your relationship with your girlfriend a little bit more. What was it like being away from her?
JF: It's kind of hard to describe. Being away from her, I could talk to her on the phone or online. I loved her so much, and I wanted to be with her but I couldn't. Then all of a sudden, I was standing right in front of her. It felt like I was right where I belonged. It was a big relief … to be able to hold her again.
TMF: So what would you say you got out of the experience?
JF: In a way, I'm more at peace. I'm able to deal with everyday problems a lot easier. (On my trip), I was dealing with problems day to day, and not just little problems. The little problems used to stress me out, like a dead battery on the truck or a broken hot-water heater. They don't now. I also have a bit of advice that I've been trying to share with people. Everybody has something they want to do, some wild dream. Most don't make the effort to do it. They end up 80 years old, wishing they'd done this or done that. It's sad. Achieving something is not really that hard, you just have to be willing to make a few sacrifices and give up a few comforts. You can do what you want to do. If it means not getting that new computer or not having a few extra cable channels, then I think it's worth it. I slept in ditches and ate on the side of the road. I wouldn't give up any of it. It's the most fulfilling experience I've ever had, and I got something I'll never forget.

[size=14pt]FL man claims his cat downloaded child porn found on his computer[/size]
An interesting alibi isn't helping a Florida man avoid child pornography charges.
Forty-eight-year-old Keith Griffin of Jensen Beach told Martin County Sheriff's detectives that his cat was responsible for the hundreds of pornographic images of children found on his computer.
Griffin told detectives the cat would jump on the keyboard when the computer was left on, resulting in the strange downloads.
He remains in the Martin County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bail.

Diaspora Bonds: The Israeli experience
LAST week I wrote that I was very happy that a Jamaican administration is finally making a serious move to offer a bond to Jamaicans residing outside of the country. Most of the feedback I have got since that column was very positive, but naturally some questions were raised, especially about how it could actually be done.
When I was first told about this idea Israel was the main example being touted, therefore I would like to share what information I have been able to find about Israel's experience with diaspora bonds so that more Jamaicans can have a clearer understanding of how this could work and how it could help. There is no need to reinvent the wheel, and we can instead adapt what Israel has been successfully doing since 1951.
Israel started raising funds from the Jewish diaspora in 1951 and established a specific entity to undertake this -- the Development Corporation for Israel (DCI). To date, the DCI has raised over US$25 billion. Some people have asked why Jamaicans abroad would purchase diaspora bonds. In the case of Israel, a sense of patriotism played a role partly because Israel specifically was trying to maintain a relationship with Jews abroad, but it also paid an attractive interest rate on the bonds so that it would make financial sense to purchase such bonds.
Another question relates to what kind of bonds would be issued. Israel has issued bonds ranging from as low as US$100 to as high as US$100,000 that can only be redeemed at maturity, which is usually between 10 and 15 years. In addition, most of the Israeli bonds have been fixed-rate bonds, not floating-rate bonds.
Who can purchase? It has never been suggested or recommended that a purchaser of the diaspora bonds would have to be of Jamaican descent. In fact, Jamaica is better off allowing everyone to buy, because we have many non-Jamaicans who have fallen in love with the country and its culture who would gladly welcome the chance to contribute directly to further development.
Brand Jamaica is strong and we should leverage that. The Israelis did not limit their diaspora bonds to only Jews but have primarily targeted them. They have gone as far as to have DCI staff in the USA, the main target market, organise regular investor events.
One of the most important questions that will guide the level of interest and ultimate participation is what the funds would be used for. Israel has used diaspora bond proceeds mainly for public sector projects such as housing construction, communications infrastructure and desalination. In Jamaica's case, it has been suggested that the construction and upgrading of schools and hospitals would be the projects that Jamaicans abroad would find most worth of consideration.
There have also been a few suggestions with regards to upgrading law enforcement capabilities since that could help bring down crime, which would see immediate economic benefits. I have suggested that some of the higher-interest debt be refinanced and the interest saved diverted to health, education and security.
The World Bank has indicated that some countries leveraging diaspora bonds have used money transfer institutions to reach people instead of brokers, investment banks or commercial banks. Israel has also avoided the broker and investment/commercial bank route, opting instead to have DCI sell the bonds directly, with New York acting as the fiscal agent.
Jamaica most likely would leverage the extensive money transfer network that exists, combined with a broker or fiscal agent. There are undoubtedly large numbers of Jamaicans abroad who are intimately familiar with their money transfer location and agents, familiarity which would help with better understanding the bonds.
The JDX has not factored into any discussions I have seen to date. Yes, the Government of Jamaica did strategically default on some debt, but there seems to be little fear of a repeat of that (no one wants their diaspora bond to be exchanged for longer-dated maturities with lower interest rates).
Israel has been the most successful country at leveraging diaspora bonds and in the same way that their diaspora organisational structure has informed the structure that Jamaica has been building, so can their approach to bonds be a guide.
This column was partially informed by Development Finance via Diaspora Bonds by Suhas Ketkar and Dilip Ratha.

last night in los angeles, amidst the speeches, gowns, and celebrities at the 2012 emmy awards there was no shortage of delicious pop culture moments. here are my top 5 tastes of emmy night 2012.
1. the opening skit. tv's funniest ladies consoled host, jimmy kimmel before the show and after some botched botox…hilarious!
2. yellow dresses. acid, lime, and neon yellow ruled the red carpet with emmy winners claire danes, julie bowen and julianne moore accepting their wins in bright, bold frocks.
3. louis ck vs. ricky gervais: after photobombing louis ck in his shot for best actor in a comedy, ricky gervais continued the ribbed when presenting the emmy for best directing of a variety show, by claiming that if Louis CK lost, this would make ricky the better comic. louis did lose and ricky deemed him officially the "2nd greatest comic in the world". i just want to know, where's the show with these two comedy masters?
4. acceptance speech mix-up: in a bold, risky move, julia louis dreyfus and amy poehler added a little humor to the predictable gushy thank you fest of acceptance speeches, by "accidentally" mixing up their speeches for best actress in a comedy. although planned, the joke paid off and by injecting even a little more levity into the night. bravo!
5. homeland wins best drama. as well as best actor, actress, and writing in a drama, this well-honed, addictive psychological thriller on showtime, shut down perennial emmy favorites mad men and breaking bad…just in time for its premiere next sunday.
what was your favorite emmy moment? tweet me!

Tallapoosa County investigators say an 80-year-old man drowned at Lake Martin over the weekend while trying to save his dog.
The drowning happened Sunday in the Union community. Authorities identified the victim as Mike Gross of Dadeville.
According to witnesses, Gross had been swimming in the lake with his lab and the dog apparently had trouble making it back to shore. That's when Gross attempted to rescue the animal.
Witnesses attempted to perform CPR on Gross until medical professionals could arrive, but attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.

When you save a message as HTML in Outlook 2007 (and 2010), Outlook creates a matching (and annoying) folder containing XML and THMX files. For most users, deleting the folder also deletes the HTML page. This is because the default setting for managing web pages and folders is to show and manage them as a single file.
You can change the behavior. Go to Windows Explorer's Folder Options. On the View tab, change the Managing pairs of Web pages and folders to Show both parts and manage them individually.
Now you can delete the folder without deleting the HTML file or move the HTML file without also moving the matching folder.
While this isn't as perfect as not saving the folder to begin with, it will allow you to delete the (useless) folders.
In Windows XP, Folder Options is on Windows Explorer's Tools menu. In Vista and Windows 7, open Winodws Explorer and look at Organize, Folder and Search options. This setting is not visible by default in Windows, it's added by Office XP, 2003, and Office 2007.
Office 2010 does not add this setting to Windows but the Manage pairs reg hack will add it to Folder options so you can change the manage pairs setting. Download the text file, then remove .txt from the filename and double click on the reg file to add it to your registry. This hack will work with Windows XP, Windows 7 and Vista.
More information about web page pairs:
Operations on an HTML file or folder apply to similarly named folder or HTML file (KB 252721)
From Managing the File System (MSDN):
"HTML documents often have a number of associated graphics files, a style sheet file, several Microsoft JScript (compatible with ECMA 262 language specification) files, and so on. When you move or copy the primary HTML document, you also usually want to move or copy its associated files to avoid breaking links. Unfortunately, there has been no easy way until now to determine which files are related to any given HTML document other than by analyzing their contents. To alleviate this problem, Windows 2000 provides a simple way to connect a primary HTML document to its group of associated files. If file connection is enabled, when the document is moved or copied all its connected files go with it."

DescriptionPiguaquan. It mean literally "Chop-Hanging Fist". Because it is emphasis on palm techniques,so also known as Piguazhang ("Chop-Hanging Palm"). Piguaquan is a special style of Traditional Chinese martial arts that features explosive and long-range attack.
The power of Piguaquan is from the accelerated force of the arms which are often in rotation and swing. In other words. You may imagine that your body likes a whip, the waist is the handle of this whip, the hands are the end of the whip, and the power comes from both feet.
Piguaquan is often practiced with Bajiquan. There is a Chinese martial arts proverb that goes : "When pigua is added to baji, gods and demons will all be terrified. When baji is added to pigua, heroes will sigh knowing they are no match against it."
With appropriate design and programming, it allows users:
1.To learn Piguaquan without limitation of viewpoints.
2.To play and pause the presentation.
3.To quickly search and play a certain form by using a scrolling bar.
4.To watch the animation in lower speed
5.To select single motion or all motions to learn 4 route 16 knack of Piguaquan.

And now let's check in on the never-ending stadium saga (because writing about the team itself has gotten far too depressing). The update is, there's still no stadium. But there is still a stadium plan for Arden Hills, even though that plan now looks about as viable as a Bill Musgrave Wildcat play.
Just as Musgrave refuses to give up on the Blazer package, so do Zygi Wilf and Ramsey County refuse to let the Arden Hills dream die. To give us a better feel for their dream the Vikings and Ramsey County have released some new conceptual images portraying the proposed development as a happy fun family place full of immaculately landscaped open spaces and plazas with fountains and crap. And there's a winter one too! I love the description (via Vikings.com)
The winter scene provides a closer view of the "main street" concept, which depicts a winter destination of cross-country skiing, ice-skating on the community pond, hiking and outdoor fun around the fire pits. The "Lake House" adjacent to the pond could provide indoor and outdoor space for community events, adjacent to the main street restaurant and retail corridor.
Somewhere Norman Rockwell is smiling. Come on Minnesota legislature, get your crap together. I want to visit Winter Zygi Land and ride the ponies. Do they have robot cowboys that become sentient and try to kill you? Oh wait, that's Westworld. Sorry I get my cheesy fantasies mixed up.

Destined to enthral visitors
Namibia is a country destined to enthral visitors with its shifting multi-hued sand dunes of the Namib Desert, stark gravel plains, astonishing Fish River Canyon, the desolate mist-shrouded shores of the Skeleton Coast, ancient mountains, and extraordinary plants and animals. Namibia is also home to Etosha, one of the finest game reserves in Southern Africa. If the limitless horizons, huge untamed wilderness areas, pleasant sunny climate, beautiful coastline, or national parks don't sell Namibia, the well-developed tourism infrastructure, adventure activities and remote luxury camps and lodges will. Whether in or on water, driving, hiking or biking, the opportunities to enjoy the wild beauty of this vast, empty and ancient land are almost as limitless as its horizons!

Before the use of computer generated graphics to take audiences back to ancient worlds, Hollywood would build massive sets and employ a literal cast of thousands.
Fearful of the new medium of television, studios staged these spectacular films in order to draw audiences to theaters. It worked for a time, but by the 1960s these epics proved too costly to make while audiences began to lose interest.
For decades, the studios refused to make these movies. It would take computer generated special effects for them to even think about doing such large scale movies again. Here are eight classic historical epics from their heyday of the 1950s.

Surgery in the Treatment of Obesity (cont.)
Preoperative Workup
Careful preoperative patient screening, selection, preparation, and education are the keys for postoperative success. A comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to patients' screening and education, including consultations with a dietitian, psychologist, internist, and bariatric surgeon is mandatory. In selected cases, cardiac, pulmonary, and endocrine evaluation may be needed. Patients should have a clear understanding and realistic expectation of benefits, risks, and long-term consequences of surgical treatment.

True Raider fans will find it difficult to imagine another former Raider that would bring the level of excitement for the future of this franchise more than this man. These words--if you have been watching and know it is exactly what we can expect from the young, hungry, and very talented secondary who need exactly this--show that we can expect big things from our staff this year. Our players will no longer be stifled by poor play calls, and coaches that do not recognize the talents we possess. Rather, we can expect to build upon the very solid foundation we have, and put these guys in position to make big plays. Without further ado, from the horse's mouth, {from NFL network interview}:
"Hopefully Nnamdi will come back... I think, we're going to do some different things this year on the defensive side: some more looks, some more things for the corners to make plays... get them to face the football a little bit more, so they can get interceptions... so they can be playmakers for this defense. If we can do that... if we can get a Nnamdi Asomugha back in Oakland, one of the best corners in the National Football League; it makes my job a lot easier."
Hit the jump to read on...
We have all voiced opinions of how we're aware that having our guys play in the antiquated man up system all the time makes it extremely difficult to make plays on the ball, and in run support, and that we'd like to see some different looks, formations, and just plain putting our guys in better position to make those plays. I believe this move shows we can expect to see that right away. Who better to deliver that to this Raider team, than a man who excelled in putting himself in the area of the ball, well into the twilight of his career, and the man who carries the record for taking balls to the house in this league? Tyvon Branch, Mike Mitchell, Nnamdi Asomugha, Stevie Brown, Jeremy Ware, Walter McFadden, and Jerome Boyd will all blossom under the tutelage of this rare talent. Though coming on as "cornerbacks coach," Rod will make the entire squad better by osmosis, but more importantly, he'll get the secondary and the pass rush playing in unison, and that, will therein make the run defense become a better unit when they learn to read and react more efficiently from cues the lineman will give. I believe we can expect more zone coverage with Rod's voicing he'll get more plays with corners facing the ball, and think Moss or Perry are even greater possibilities now for assuming defensive play calling duties. Get ready for a new era of Raider football, Nation.
On visiting the facility: "Already here, since 8 o' clock this morning... I'ma be here until nightfall, so, yeah... I'm ready for it... I know it's a lot of long hours... I'm just asking my wife, is she ready for it."
How often have we watched in horror, as our corners and safeties run stride for stride for what seems an eternity with opposing wideouts, TEs, and RBs out of the backfield, screaming random demands at our screens, "go nickel;, go dime; blitz the d back; slot blitz; how about fire zone???? Rod, you are very welcome here, indeed... Very, very welcome.
In all his years at NFL network, he has always spoken highly of the Raiders and of his time with us, and you could always see a glint in his eye when speaking of the franchise. This, Nation, is a match made in heaven, and we will be the benefactors for years to come. I expect Rod to be the next great head coach in the league, and hope it is with us in Oakland. While I really had Moss pegged over all other potential candidates, I'm finding the marriage with Perry to be very intriguing now with Woodson on staff.
Whatever the outcome, it feels as though this Autumn Wind will bring with it a little of what has been missing from the Raiders in years past: the exercising of our will on the rest of the league, and it will be long overdue.
Though we cannot be sure who among our current roster will be a part of this dominance, we can be sure that the best of the best in the league will no longer look at Oakland as a destination to avoid. This train is headed for Indianapolis, and is picking up passengers who have one destination in mind as well.

Excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_implant
The 19th century
Since the late nineteenth century, breast implants have been used to surgically augment the size (volume), modify the shape (contour), and enhance the feel (tact) of a woman's breasts. In 1895, surgeon Vincenz Czerny effected the earliest breast implant emplacement when he used the patient's autologous adipose tissue, harvested from a benign lumbar lipoma, to repair the asymmetry of the breast from which he had removed a tumor.[1] In 1889, surgeon Robert Gersuny experimented withparaffin injections, with disastrous results. From the first half of the twentieth century, physicians used other substances as breast implant fillers—ivory, glass balls, ground rubber, ox cartilage, Terylene wool, gutta-percha, Dicora, polyethylene chips, Ivalon (polyvinyl alcohol—formaldehyde polymer sponge), a polyethylene sac with Ivalon, polyether foam sponge (Etheron), polyethylene tape (Polystan) strips wound into a ball, polyester (polyurethane foam sponge) Silastic rubber, and teflon-silicone prostheses.[2]

January 10, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Smith will miss a second straight game Saturday as he tends to an academic issue, ESPN.com reports.
Details are relatively scarce, but Smith will sit against Butler after missing Wednesday's loss to Providence. The junior center is averaging 11.5 points and 3.4 rebounds in 19.9 minutes so far this season.
December 7, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Smith provided a team-high 14 points and five boards in the win over Colgate on Saturday.
Smith has been playing limited minutes and that has affected his overall production. He hit 27 minutes twice (in the opener and against VCU), but has not topped 20 minutes in his last three games. The big man has averaged 13.8 points on 78.1 percent shooting from the field.
November 13, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Smith had six points in 17 minutes in the win over Wright State on Wednesday. The center added four boards and a block.
It's funny that Smith played so well against athletic Oregon, but had such a quiet game against the Raiders from the Horizon League. The Hoyas hit 45.5 percent of their 3-pointers, so they did not have a great need to dump the ball into the post.
November 9, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Smith made his Hoya debut with 25 points (10-13 FG, 5-9 FT) with four rebounds and two assists in the loss to Oregon in Korea on Friday.
Smith played 27 minutes and looked strong in the post. His weight is clearly within a range that will allow him to play fairly significant minutes. There are few players in the nation, and particularly the Big East, who can counter his strength in the post. His defense, on the other hand, leaves something to be desired.
October 23, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Smith has been cleared to play for the Hoyas immediately, the Associated Press reports.
Smith played in six games for the Bruins last season before transferring to Georgetown, and a player in this situation typically has to sit out an entire year before becoming eligible to play for a new team. However, the NCAA granted Smith a waiver for last season, leaving him with two years of eligibility remaining. Smith has struggled with weight issues in the past, but at 6-foot-10 and 350 pounds, he has the potential to be a dominant force down low for the Hoyas.
January 2, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Smith will transfer to Georgetown, CBS Sports reports.
Smith left the UCLA program earlier this year. He will have to sit out for a year, and will have three semesters of eligibility remaining.
November 28, 2012
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Smith has left the UCLA program, the official UCLA basketball site reports.
Smith had only played 13.5 minutes in six games this year. He could never get his weight under control, so we are left to wonder what the big man could do. Smith may resurface elsewhere as many Bruins do. The Wear brothers will get more time in the post and freshman Tony Parker could see more minutes.

Long before becoming a NBA All-Star, Shawn Kemp was just another kid in Elkhart County who dreamed of becoming a professional basketball player.
"It started in junior high (laughs)," said Kemp. "I mean that in a positive way. I mean we shared these dreams together. We practiced my autograph in 7th and 8th grade, so we had a lot of expectations not just for myself. Not only goals I wanted to reach but the guys around me wanted me to reach."
For Kemp, the dream was more realistic than it was for others. From the first day he stepped on the Concord campus, he was already earning praise from his future coaches and teammates.
"I knew from when he came up as a freshman that he would be starting [varsity]," said former Concord head coach Jim Hahn.
With loads of talents though, came some early arrogance and growing pains.
"I think our hardest job was to find ways in practice to motivate him and continue to try and make him better every day," said Hahn.
Some of that motivation came in the form of having to run extra laps or in some cases getting told to leave.
"This was the gym (the Concord high school gym) I practiced in and I've definitely been put out this gym before because of bad practice habits," said Kemp.
Other times the motivation came from one of his senior teammates.
"I think he thought he could just kind of glide on through a little bit," said Dan Freeze, who was a senior forward Kemp's freshman year. "But we worked him hard. If he wanted that dream, we pushed him."
By the end of his freshman year, Kemp helped Concord do something they had not done in eight years; win a sectional title.
"When we got a couple of the banners up there it just made us feel like rock stars, so that made it even better," said Kemp.
Just a week later, Kemp found winning a regional was entirely more difficult than winning a sectional title.
"We were so happy that we kind of forgot that we were playing the next week," said Hahn. "So that is when we really adjusted our goals and said 'hey we're not going out to say our goal is to win the sectional or regional' from that point in time we said our goal was to win the state."
Between his sophomore to senior years, Kemp continued to work hard to become a better player and eventually became a household name throughout Michiana.
"I remember the Indiana Pacers coming into here and doing a camp right here in this gym and I ended up being him in a game of one on one to ten (laughs)," said Kemp.
His game improved to new heights. Not only could he jump higher than any player he matched up against, he could also handle the ball and shoot like a guard.
"There were times where there were things that happened in the game and you just kind of shook your head and said that's unbelievable," said Hahn.
When his senior year rolled around, every place Kemp and the Minutemen played was packed.
Former South Bend St. Joseph head coach Steve Austin realized the Indians gym could not hold the crowd Kemp would bring, so he came up with the idea of playing at the Notre Dame Joyce Center.
"Actually I had to go to my principal five times and he told me I was crazy because I was giving up a home game," said Austin.
Eventually the St. Joseph Athletic Department approved to move the game. By game day the match-up had sold out and scalpers were selling tickets at double and triple face value outside.
"When we got there it was just the padded seats down below and by the time the JV game started that was completely full," said Hahn. "So the next thing you know they started pulling out the bleachers from up above and as a section at a time came out, they were filling up, just as quick as they could pull them out."
Fans who were able to get inside were left impressed as Kemp impressed with his athletic ability in a Concord win.
"We had our one kid, there was a dunk play for Shawn and my center was in perfect position. His hands were probably at the rim and all of a sudden all you saw was his waste line at his head and he had to be at the box high, if not higher and he just dunked it on him," said Austin. "That's when my kid turned around and was like what can you do. You can't stop that."
While there were plenty of fans who cherished Kemp's talent at Concord. There also were many who tried to tear him down when the Minutemen played on the road.
"Just ignorant fans throwing things at him and saying bad words," said Hahn, who added many times those words were racially directed. "Just to say some of the things that were said, it was disheartening."
Some players would crumble under that type of scrutiny, but Kemp instead used it to fuel the greatest run in Concord history.
"Sectional, regional, semi-state were great," said Hahn. "It just seemed like we were destined to win it."
For the first time ever, the Minutemen had a chance to win a State Championship against powerhouse Muncie Central.
"We had a chance to be the small little school to upset the big school," said Kemp.
Unfortunately for Concord, Kemp fouled out of the game and it was Muncie Central celebrating on the floor at Market Square Arena.
"We just ran out of steam," said Hahn.
That was not the only let down of Kemp's senior season. After committing to the University of Kentucky, the Minutemen star forward was not voted as the state's top player.
"Coach [Bobby] Knight (who coached at Indiana University) would come up here and watch me practice and we had a lot of meetings in this area," said Kemp. "He was the type of guy who let you know right away if you go blue, well there's no Mr. Basketball if you go blue."
Kemp says he somewhat regrets not choosing an in-state school like Purdue or Indiana. Instead the Indiana Mr. Basketball Award was given to Richmond High School's Woody Austin, who had committed to Purdue.
"It was a disgrace," said Hahn. "[Kemp] was absolutely the best player in the state."
Even without a Mr. Basketball award in his trophy case, Kemp is still remembered by many as the greatest player to ever play in Northern Indiana.
"In my opinion he was the best player ever in the northern part of the state," said Hahn. "I don't think we'll ever see another one like him."
Kemp however hopes another great talent will come around sooner rather than later.
"I want to see the next Shawn Kemp," said Kemp "I don't want to be the best player in this area. I want to see the next Shawn Kemp rise up and I think if you look at this area it will definitely happen. If you see a kid like me in 25 years that it took to develop his game I think there's no doubt about it the future is waiting to happen."
Prior to 2014, Kemp had not returned to McCuen gym to watch Concord play. After returning for a 1988 State Runner-Up celebration, Kemp said he would like to continue to come back to Elkhart in the summer and hold a kids basketball camp.

text: I have a coop that has a bare dirt floor run. There is no cover to the run except for the wire on the top. At most I have 4 chickens in the area, and its a large area for that number of hens. There is a small sand box with a roof in the run. I want to put something down on the ground to make the space nicer for the ladies. I think sand would wash away, and they've already got sand in the area. What has worked best for you? I wish I could get some grass in there, but they won't let that happen. I'm in Georgia if it matters. Thanks a bunch!

Public Forum:
Two drivers were recently spotted racing out of Pick 'n Save's parking lot in an attempt to beat a siren-shrilling, horn-blasting fire engine approaching the lighted intersection.
Why did these two individuals think where they were going was more important than where the fire engine was going? I nastily wished it was their homes in flames.
Emergency equipment takes precedence over ordinary folk facing green lights. When did we become a nation of the ignorant, the rude, the self-centered, jeopardizing lives because we need to be first?

Michael Bennet
Michael F. Bennet is a Democratic member of the United States Senate, representing Colorado.
Bennet served as the Superintendent of the Denver Public Schools before running for the U.S. Senate. He has also been Chief of Staff to Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, Managing Director at the Anschutz Investment Company, and Counsel to the Deputy Attorney General at the Department of Justice during the Clinton Administration.
Michael earned his bachelor's degree with honors from Wesleyan University and his law degree from Yale Law School, where he was Editor-in-Chief of The Yale Law Journal.
In 1997, Bennet married Susan Daggett, a successful natural resources lawyer.[1] Michael and Susan are the parents of three daughters: Caroline, Halina, and Anne.[2]
Supported by Council for a Livable World
The Council for a Livable World, founded in 1962 by long-time socialist activist and alleged Soviet agent, Leo Szilard, is a non-profit advocacy organization that seeks to "reduce the danger of nuclear weapons and increase national security", primarily through supporting progressive, congressional candidates who support their policies. The Council is supporting Michael Bennet in his 2010 election campaign.[3]
The Council wrote of Bennet;
- Born in 1964 in New Delhi, India, Bennet earned his bachelor's degree fromWesleyan University and his law degree from Yale Law School, where he was Editor-in-Chief of The Yale Law Journal. He practiced law, worked in the Clinton Justice Department, managed an investment company, served as Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper's chief of staff, and then accepted the challenge of improving Denver's failing school system.
- For many years, Bennet has had a strong commitment to national security issues. He supports President Obama's efforts to negotiate a new treaty with Russia for reciprocal deep cuts in nuclear arsenals as well as ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. He supports the President's goal of securing and retrieving nuclear weapons-usable materials worldwide and the Kissinger-Schultz-Nunn-Perry vision of moving toward a world free of nuclear weapons.
- He also supports the Obama plan for ending the war in Iraq and opposes deployment of missile defense at this time. Because Colorado has endured the toxic legacy of its Rocky Mountain arsenal, which once built deadly nerve gas weapons, he understands the dire consequences of some of our country's weapons policies.[4]
Obama for America, National Co-Chair
February 22, 2012, Obama for America, announced the selection of the campaign's National Co-Chairs, a diverse group of leaders from around the country committed to re-electing President Obama. The co-chairs will serve as ambassadors for the President, advise the campaign on key issues, and help engage and mobilize voters in all 50 states.
Senator Michael Bennet – U.S. Senator from Colorado, was on the list.[5]
- Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs
- Financial Institutions subcommittee
- Security and International Trade and Finance subcommittee
- Securities, Insurance and Investment
- Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP)
- Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry
- Subcommittee on Rural Revitalization, Conservation, Forestry and Credit subcommittee
- Subcommittee on Hunger, Nutrition and Family Farms subcommittee
- Subcommittee on Energy, Science and Technology subcommittee
- Senate Special Committee on Aging[6]
