text: A couple weeks back John wrote a piece on Chris Carter's rough start to his MLB career. It sparked a lot of conversation, and many thought the slow start was evidence that he was going to struggle to handle MLB pitching. His 0-33 start to go with 13 K's against only 1 BB was obviously a small sample size, as was the .342/.422/.605 with 8 K's and 6 BB's that followed in the 38 AB's he got to end the season. I'm wondering if anyone has had a chance to see Carter hit either on T.V. or in person, and also if anyone's opinion might have changed some after the nice little run he had to end the season. I have seen Carter play several games while in the minors, but not until he reached Oakland did I actually get to see him on a regular basis. I'm just wondering what people think of him that have actually gotten to see him play over the past couple weeks. He looks like a different hitter to me then most of the big power, high K guys. Such a nice short, compact and powerful stroke with plenty of bat speed. Am I just being an overly optimistic A's fan by thinking he will become more then a low average power hitter? I've heard quite a few arguments on this before he accumulated any major league AB's, I guess i'm just wondering if people have changed their minds some after seeing him hit lately.

Jagran Solutions executes the inaugural edition of 'Red Bull Campus Cricket'
Font Size
network2media Bureau
Monday, 16 April 2012 09:00 (IST)
NEW DELHI: Jagran Solutions - India's leading new age marketing agency that provides solutions for brand activation via consumer connect strategies partnered with Red Bull to execute the inaugural edition of 'Red Bull Campus Cricket' in India. Organised by Red Bull, the tournament featured 32 college teams from across eight cities in India competing for the right to represent India in the first ever international college cricket championship. The finals of the South Asia leg of Red Bull Campus Cricket will now take place in Sri Lanka with teams competing from Pakistan and the host country.
In the wake of an open and competitive multi-agency pitch, Jagran Solutions got the mandate of executing this project having worked with Red Bull earlier. Jagran Solutions was responsible for end-to-end execution of the event from knockout phase to final. 'Red Bull Campus Cricket' gives the dreams of young cricketers' wings by fuelling their passion and provides these budding college talents an opportunity to perform at an international level and get an opportunity to train overseas.
Young cricketing stalwarts of different college teams of India from Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Chennai participated in this prestigious tournament. All matches were played in T20 format with Mumbai's Rizvi College emerging as the winner of the tournament. Red Bull athlete and leading Indian batsman Gautam Gambhir worked closely with the brand to develop the concept of the tournament. 'Red Bull Campus Cricket' experts and Gambhir together chose Swapnil Salvi from Rizvi College (Mumbai) for a 22 week stint with Urmston Cricket Club in Manchester, United Kingdom.
On the opportunities provided by 'Red Bull Campus Cricket', Red Bull athlete Gautam Gambhir said, "The reason Red Bull India and I came up with this event is because today college cricket is not taken too seriously. There are great players out there in colleges, but they do not really have a platform. So, by being able to draw on the best talent in colleges, we have a unique chance to watch their caliber. We also believe that conducting a South Asian competition will benefit the upcoming crop of cricketers by exposing them to international conditions early on. And if the training sessions with Urmston Cricket Club work out well, it can lay the platform for creating better rounded and complete cricketers."
Speaking about the successful completion of the event, Pawan Bansal, COO, Jagran Solutions, said, "We wanted to give the audience, participants and clients, an all around cricket experience. Jagran Solutions has managed to capture the minds of many, elevating the experience of cricket. We have associated with Red Bull for the past few years and executed similar sports events in the form of Chris Pfeiffer India Tour and 'Speed Street F1' events. We are confident that all this thrill-packed excitement in gaming will enhance Red Bull's brand image further with the consumers".
Red Bull's 'Campus Cricket' enhanced the youth's passion towards cricket and created opportunities for young cricketers at the collegiate level, an otherwise unexplored space, by giving them a platform to exhibit their skills and showing them a path for a career in cricket.

In 50-year history of WWE, there have been 16 televised wedding ceremonies or receptions. There are many things that fans have learned over the years thanks to these ceremonies. If you don't know what to buy the couple, a cobra might be a bad idea. If you want to marry that someone special, the marriage might last longer if your partner is conscious for the wedding. Forcing your partner to marry you by either kidnapping or blackmailing them does not seem to provide a long and healthy marriage. Most importantly, if you are in poor health, be very careful on the honeymoon.
Paul Vachon & Ophelia - Tuesday Night Titans 1984
Paul Vachon married Ophelia in the ring with only the heel personalities of the era in attendance. Captain Lou Albano objected to the wedding at first, but once he found out that Ophelia wasn't a virgin, he had no problems with letting the wedding continue. "Dr. D" David Schultz entered the ring after the vows were exchanged and body slammed the groom. At the reception, Dr. D started a food fight.
Uncle Elmer & Joyce - Saturday's Night Main Event 10/5/85
This wedding took place on the second edition of Saturday's Night Main Event. When the audience was asked if anyone objected to this marriage, Roddy Piper came out and said the wrestling ring was no place to get married and insulted Uncle Elmer and the rest of his hillbilly family. On commentary, Jesse Ventura made fun of the couple and went so far as to say that their kiss looked like "two carp going after the same piece of corn". The night ended with Ventura's face being smashed into the wedding cake. The most amazing part of this story is that Hillbilly Jim told me the ceremony was legitimate and that Uncle Elmer and Joyce really left the Meadowlands as husband and wife.
Miss Elizabeth & Randy Savage - SummerSlam 8/26/91
This wedding took place at Madison Square Garden and was the final segment of the second biggest pay-per-view (PPV) of the year. Nothing out of the ordinary happened happened during the ceremony. However, the next week on television, the low-lights of the reception were shown. Jake Robert's gift box contained a cobra. Undertaker gave the more fashionable steel chair to the back of the head to Savage. A huge feud developed between Roberts and Savage which was highlighted by a cobra gnawing on the arm of the "Macho Man".
Stephanie McMahon & The Undertaker - RAW 4/26/99
This "Unholy Ceremony" took place during the height of the Vince McMahon vs. Steve Austin feud. Undertaker kidnapped Stephanie and was forcing her into this dark marriage to please the higher power. The ceremony was presided over by Paul Bearer while Stephanie was in a black dress and attached to Undertaker's sacrificial symbol. Undertaker's Corporate Ministry tried to prevent Stephanie from being saved but Steve Austin was able to interrupt the ceremony. He was thanked by his new friend Vince McMahon, who a few weeks later was revealed to be the higher power.
Stephanie McMahon & Test - RAW 11/29/99
This was supposed to be a classy ceremony. As a precaution, Vince McMahon said that if Triple H or any members of D-Generation X ruined the ceremony they would be fired. When the crowd was asked if anyone objected, Triple H appeared and showed the following film.
Stephanie McMahon & Triple H - RAW 11/29/99
During her bachelorette party, Stephanie was drugged. Triple H then took her to a drive through wedding chapel and got married even though she was unconscious. At the next PPV, Vince fought Triple H with the stipulation that if he won then the marriage would be annulled. During the match, Stephanie turned on her father and started the McMahon-Helmsley era with her husband.

With today's reports of Lawrence Nycolat attending a Caps practice and subsequent (limited and quickly dismissed) discussion of his potentially joining the team on the upcoming roadtrip, I spent some time looking at professional contracts. Many fans have at least heard of the "50 players under contract" rule, but the details are a bit trickier.
In researching the specifics of the "50 man reserve list," I stumbled across an incredibly helpful piece on a Maple Leaf's blog. I have decided to adapt that piece here, with the specifics changed to fit the Capitals.Much of the personnel discussion by Caps fans this offseason and into the current season has centered around the salary cap, and understandably so. This is a number that translates well across sports, and you don't have to be familiar with the intricacies of the CBA to understand it. As of today (per Capgeek) the Capitals stand about $1.7million below the cap, roughly in the middle of the pack in terms of cap space. What that number doesn't say is that the Caps are currently using all 50 out of 50 available Standard Player Contracts.
A Standard Player Contract (or SPC for short) is pretty much what it sounds like: an NHL-level pro contract. A player must have a contract like this to play in the NHL. A player with an SPC can be assigned to an AHL or ECHL (or WHL or other junior team, more on that later), but an AHL player does not need an SPC to play with their team. Boyd Kane, for example, plays for the Hershey Bears but is not under contract with the Capitals (or any other NHL team for that matter).
In Section 1 ("Definitions") in the CBA, the limits on the number of player contracts, and number of players a team can hold rights for, are defined under the term "Reserve Lists". A Reserve list is defined in Section 1 as
… the list of players to whom a Club has rights including all Unsigned Draft Choices, all Players signed to an SPC (whether or not currently playing in the NHL), and all Players who have signed an SPC but who have subsequently been returned to Juniors. A Club may have on its Reserve List, at any one
time, not more than 90 Players …
From this list of 90 players to which the club owns rights, a maximum of 50 and minimum of 24 may be signed to an SPC at any one time. Any team operating below the minimum or above the maximum limits is subject to a penalty of the loss of draft picks.
From that alone, it appears that even if the Caps wanted to sign Nycholat to fly with the team today, they wouldn't be able to. (In this instance, Chris Bourque complicates things. My reading is that since the Caps extended Bourque a qualifying offer over the summer, he counts against the 50. It's entirely possible I'm wrong on that, if so I trust that someone will let me know.) Now, having said that, if the Caps really and truly wanted another D-man for the trip who wasn't already under contract, they actually could sign Nycholat. Enter the "Slide Rule."
Under the CBA quoted above, a player who is returned to Juniors prior to playing 11 NHL games does not count against a team's 50 SPCs. This rule dovetails with the "years" of an entry level contract. Take Cody Eakin for example. Eakin is signed to a three year entry level contract. Because he was returned to the WHL without playing any NHL (regular season) games, his contract "slides" for a year. A year from now, even though he will have already been under contract for a year, Eakin will still be in year one of his contract. What matters for this discussion though, is that Eakin's SPC has "slid" right off of the list of contracts, creating space for more contracts if the Caps wish to pursue them.
Currently, Eakin, Philipp Grubauer, and Brandon Anderson have SPCs with the Capitals, but do not count against the 50-SPC limit because they have been returned to their Junior teams. This leaves the Caps with 3 (or 4 if I screwed up on my Bourque analysis) open contract slots available.
Long story short, if the Capitals really wanted to sign Nycholat, they absolutely could.
On a personal note, this is my first FanPost, so I would love some feedback.

Rana Singh Sodhi, brother of Balbir Singh Sodhi, murdered Sept. 15, 2001, serving pizza at a local homeless shelter, on the anniversary of his brother's death.
The nephew of the murdered man stood before an audience of several thousand, and said, "I sure wish my uncle would come back and bring some peace, like he always used to."
I cried.
This was at the first anniversary memorial for Balbir Singh Sodhi, a Sikh, who was murdered in Arizona in hate-backlash, four days after Sept. 11, 2001. His murderer had bragged of his intent to kill "the ragheads."
When I viewed the video of the service, months later, I realized the adorable boy with his hair worn in a topknot had actually said, "I sure wish my uncle would come back and bring some pizza, like he always used to."
I cried harder.
I was at the memorial because I had a long history of working against bias, and following Sept. 11, 2001 I had reached out to the families of innocent people, Hindu, Muslim and Sikh, who were murdered in hateful attacks.
In the years since, I've become consumed with how Islamophobia and xenophobia are pulsing through our culture, and the horrible impact upon innocent people.
View Photo Gallery: After a shooting at a temple in Wisconsin leaves six dead, Sikhs and their supporters mourn while the nation learns more about the gunman's ties to the white supremacy movement.
On Monday, I just returned from an event at a local gurdwara, or Sikh temple, in the wake of the massacre in Wisconsin.
The community and the event comforted me. I've been so wrapped up in a daunting family crisis that I haven't even yet seen news coverage of the attack on Sunday.
There was not an iota of bitterness evident in the congregation, or the many visitors of other faiths, there in solidarity. Instead there was the incredible sweetness I first encountered when, as an invited speaker for that memorial, my family and I were hosted by the family of Singh Sodhi's brother, who ran out to greet us like long-lost relatives when we arrived hours late, after midnight, to their home, the day before the anniversary of their tragic loss.
We were strangers, for about one minute. Then we were embraced by two boys (one, the peace/pizza misser), their sister, mom and dad. Over the weekend, they gave us much more joy and comfort than I can possibly imagine we gave them.
In the years since, I have so many impressions from my journey.
How, scenes of that first sweet night in the Singh Sodhi's family living room, under the portrait of the founding guru of Sikhism, are always on my mind when I exhort program participants or conference attendees to find ways to get into the "lives and living rooms" of those they assume to be "different."
Memories of sitting behind the counter of a service station in Texas, where an innocent Hindu man was also murdered in the aftermath of Sept. 11, and where his widow necessarily picked up the heavy mantle of supporting her family, standing every day exactly where he had fallen in his own blood–with no memorial or "hallowed ground" to commemorate her loss.
View Photo Gallery: This monotheistic religion, founded in 15th-centory Punjab (now North India and Pakistan), preaches equality of all mankind and peace. The faith, the world's fifth-largest organized religion, does not have clergy. The faith has had 10 gurus who lived as leaders in the 15th-17th centuries; the Guru Granth Sahib is sacred scripture and the supreme authority. There are more than 25 million Sikhs worldwide, including roughly 700,000 in the United States, according to the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund.
Remembering the customers who recalled his extreme generosity; how they spoke of filling their tanks, promising to return and pay for the gas they couldn't afford at the time. Remembering this widow, who on the anniversary eve of her husband's murder, after a grueling workload, made homemade pizza (yes, pizza, again) to bring and serve to his customers who came all day to reminisce about his goodness.
Meeting the extraordinary young Muslim man who had been shot in the face and left for dead, by the same killer who murdered the Hindu station owner, as well as another man, in his post Sept. 11 shooting spree. Rais Bhuiyan made it his ardent mission to try to save his would-be murderer from execution. His attempt was reported world-wide. He did succeed in utterly transforming the virulent white supremacist who spoke out against hate, moments before he was lethally injected in Texas, last summer.
So when I hear or read pundits or politicians fomenting xenophobia or Islamophobia, I have a very clear idea of the "collateral damage" to innocents their agitating provokes. I take it very personally, as I did when entering the gurdwara earlier Monday evening, thinking about the newly created victims and their families, likely just as good and loving as the extraordinary people I've met before, and the hard journey of healing they must now embark upon.
The amazing thing is that they are probably more likely to face the path that lies before them with peace, or with pizza, than with thoughts of hatred in return for the hatred that befell them.

Tutorial: How to Make Fake Guns Look Realistic for Less Than $10

Blowing the Lid off of 'Chaos Cinema': How Action Films Have Changed
Who doesn't like a good action flick, right? A bullet-dodging, time-bombing, impenetrable hero that doesn't know the meaning of the word physics is one of my guiltiest pleasures. But, over the years it has become very apparent that action films have changed significantly into two hours of sensory overload from the entertaining run/jump/climb jaunts they once were. In this three-part video essay, Los Angeles scholar and filmmaker Matthias Stork takes a deeper look into the changes in filming and editing in the action genre, which, according to him has birthed what he calls "chaos cinema".

BTS Footage and Commentaries of 'Die Hard 2' Put the 'Explore' in 'Explore-sion'
Word play may not be my thing (I warm the bench mostly,) but it must count for something that I would circumvent my limited vocabulary by smashing "explore" and "explosion" together to describe my experience of watching these videos. The behind-the-scenes footage of Die Hard 2 will give you an inside look at the stage combat, stunts, exploding squibs, and a heavily padded Bruce Willis. The video commentaries by director Renny Harlin are less commentaries on his film specifically than on filmmaking as a whole.

Learn How Successful Screenwriters Use Action to Define Characters in 'On Story' Season 3
Screenwriters are undoubtedly propelled by the question, "What if…?" Many times when writing a screenplay, however, we are tempted by the question, "Wouldn't it be cool if…?" This question can certainly lead to dramatic action sequences or hilarious set pieces, but may not reveal the true nature of our characters or propel the story forward. Thanks to yet another episode of On Story, the PBS series presented by the Austin Film Festival, we can watch the screenwriters of Wanted, Gone in 60 Seconds, The Bourne Ultimatum, and Snitch discuss how they write thrilling action sequences that define the characters in their stories.

Jury selection in the federal trial of bomb-plot suspect Mohamed Mohamud will continue Friday morning, after the court did not finish seating a jury Thursday.
Mohamud, 21, is accused of attempting to detonate a weapon of mass destruction at Portland's holiday tree-lighting ceremony on November 2010.
Judge Garr M. King spent all of Thursday whittling down the jury pool, excusing prospective jurors for a number of reasons.
One juror, a woman, was excused because she worked as a librarian in Mohamud's elementary school while he was in the sixth grade. She was also at the ceremony in Pioneer Courthouse Square the night Mohamud is accused of trying to activate a fake bomb.
The device was provided by undercover FBI agents.
His defense plans to argue Mohamud was entrapped by the FBI. The 21-year-old Mohamud is one of the youngest defendants arrested as part of the U.S. Justice Department's terror stings.
Mohamud's attorneys say his youth made him a vulnerable target.
Prosecutors argue that Mohamud was predisposed to committing terrorism before the operation began. They say Mohamud was offered the option of peaceful resistance, but chose a path of violence.
According to Tung Yin, a law professor at Lewis and Clark College, the entrapment defense "has never succeeded yet in a post-9/11 domestic terrorism case."
While the burden of proof is on prosecutors, Yin said the defense faces an intuitive challenge. He said the entrapment defense is most often effective when a defendant is accused of vice crimes involving drugs or prostitution.
"That doesn't mean it can't succeed. I think this is maybe one of the best shots a defendant would have in a terrorism case," said Yin. "But I think you have to overcome that initial road block that jurors may have, which is, 'I can understand being bribed, I can understand being tempted into buying drugs, but killing a bunch of people?' Much harder I think."
Another juror was excused Thursday after divulging he was a friend of Tyrone Woods, the former Navy SEAL from Oregon City killed in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya in September 2012.
Another potential juror was removed from the selection process after revealing a relative survived the attack on the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, but later took his own life from the trauma.
The other potential jurors excused included a woman who objected to what she called the unfairness about the power of the state over the defendant and others who said they have strong feelings about terrorism cases and couldn't put their emotions aside and be impartial in the trial.
Potential jurors were asked questions about their interactions with law enforcement, which is common in other criminal trials. Questions for jurors that were more specific to this case included whether or not they have ever lived, worked or studied in the Middle East or if they have been affected personally by terrorism.
Mohamud's parents and around one dozen family friends watched the proceedings Thursday, but declined to comment on the case.
The jury pool started with 86 people and was down to 70 by mid-afternoon.
The Portland division of the U.S. District court draws its jurors from multiple counties, including Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Hood River, Jefferson, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Wasco, Washington and Yamhill.
Jury selection will resume at 9 a.m. Friday. Due to the size of the jury pool, members of the public and the media can watch the proceedings on closed-circuit television from an overflow room in the U.S. District Courthouse.

Taiwanese hardware manufacturer ASUS announced Monday that the latest version of the Android operating system ("Jelly Bean" 4.2) is now available for the Transformer Pad TF300. While Android 4.2 initially launched on November 13, 2012, the Transformer Pad is still one of the few Android devices to support the update, with others being the Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10.
Currently, the new Android update is only available to TF300 owners within the United States, but ASUS noted in Monday's press release that it will release the update in regions outside the U.S. during the month of March.
Android 4.2, which can be downloaded as a free over the air update, delivers TF300 owners a number of improvements over previous versions of the OS including enhanced stability and support for new features like multiple user account logins.
ASUS also explained that Android 4.2 will be available for additional ASUS devices in Q2 2013 (April 1 to June 30) including the Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T, MeMO Pad Smart ME301T 10-inch and MeMo Pad ME172V.

New Evidence for Assessing Sport-related Concussion using Computerized Neurocognitive and Vestibular Ocular Testing
Anthony Kontos, University of Pittsburgh, USA
Theme: Injury/trauma/rehabilitation
Program ID: SYM-18
Presentation: October 4, 2013 11:30 am - 12:30 pm
Room: Oak Alley
The purpose of this presentation is two-fold: 1) to examine emerging evidence from a new meta-analysis comprising 37 studies on computerized neurocognitive testing (NCT) and moderating factors, and 2) present and analyze preliminary data for 100 athletes with concussion using a newly developed vestibular ocular examination. During the past decade, the use of computerized NCT as one tool in a comprehensive assessment and management approach to concussion has become more common (Johnson et al., 2011; McCrory et al., 2009). Recently, the reliability and validity of computerized NCTs for use in assessing and managing concussion have been questioned in several review papers (Randolph, 2011; Mayers & Redick, 2012). However, as Schatz and colleagues (2012) pointed out, these reviews employed subjective research methodology involving selective inclusion of data. As such, a more objective examination of the efficacy of computerized NCT to identify the subtle effects of concussion using meta-analytic techniques is warranted. Therefore, in the current presentation, we will examine the results of a new meta-analysis to determine the effects of concussion as measured by current computerized NCTs across 37 research studies. In addition, we will examine the effects of moderators including NCT type, sport, and age. As mentioned above and in the first presentation, the assessment of sport-related concussion should be both individualized and comprehensive. One emerging area of assessment that appears to be related to concussion outcomes is vestibular ocular impairment (Chamelian et al. 2004; Paniak et al. 2004). We have developed and implemented a brief clinical examination involving vestibular ocular components including visual smooth pursuits, gaze stability, convergence, and visual-vestibular fixation. In this section of the presentation we will focus on preliminary empirical data describing vestibular ocular impairment following concussion and its role in assessment and management, as well as its relation to concussion outcomes and recovery.

Stand up to twenty-two-year-old Reese of Russia. She is one honey who definitely has the upgrade package; she's teenager, blonde, dildoing, and has a little body that's out by these world. Her sensitive, feminish curves and hour glass figure were accentuated by the sexy pinkish t-shirt and short bared petticoat Reese was wearing. The libidinous pink color made Reese's swart, suntanned skin glow, especially with the sunday light that was flooding inward throughout the bedroom window. Reese crawled across her sofa because through an crazy sex activity kitten, her eyes glimmering while that woman smiled an sizzling white smile to the man standing previous to her, capturing each exciting move on his flashing camera.
For that honey struck a little diversity from undressing and tempting poses on the white bedspread, Reese looked so stylish that this hottie actually seemed to be trickling with arouse appeal. Especially while this babe raised her t-shirt and flashed the cam with her foremost brace from polish, round mambos that made u wanna merely burry your head inwards them and never come before since air. Reese dragged the t-shirt over her head and dropped it to the floor inward an shocking disrobe tease style. Stripping then, Reese turned around and lifted the back of her succulent mini madam, exposing a trifle twosome by white darksome shorts along with an wazoo that was just also wild because words. The hombre tooshie the livecam gonna have been thinking something similar because simply then that chap questioned her if she minded slipping the belts off and leaving the petticoat on. Reese smiled nicely at him and told; "U got to have a little real as mini shuttles likewise." Still smiling, Reese then rolled over onto her back and expanded her wooden leg up into the air, her toes pointed. She then reached under her petticoat and started to slide off her thongs, exactly spell her photographer ally had questioned her to act.
The white panties dropped to the floor and Reese's big-busted dilettante soaked stab became stripped since a little brief second.
Equitable then Reese quickly dragged herself back astir went right into one more series from wicked and sexual activity supperless poses on the daybed when her fetish, curvaceous rack bounced and her boo flew up and down with each move these honey made, consequently flashing her cruel wet crack inwards the nearly any oozed and soaked way. The camera boy didn't missy an single move by Reese's sexually explicit strip allure. You booty watch even greater quantity by these golden-haired bombshell right now-go to Nubiles.net to watch it wholly! (Plus an bunch by other blameless and topless nymphets path well!)

'Personhood' Amendment To Be On November BallotBy Jeffrey Hess | Published 08 Sep 2011 06:16pm |
Mississippi voters will get the chance to vote to on a constitutional amendment that supporters say will outlaw abortion in the state. MPB's Jeffrey Hess reports that Amendment 26, known as the personhood amendment, would change the state constitution to declare that human life begins at conception.
Thursday, the Mississippi Supreme Court rejected law suits by opponents of the amendment and ruled that it can be on the ballot....deciding to wait and see if amendment is approved by voters before determining its constitutionality.
Following the ruling, supporters of the amendment like Lt. Governor Phil Bryant applauded the decision, describing the amendment as a chance to outlaw abortion in the state and challenge federal laws that make abortion legal.
"We will be where the rock hits the water and the ripples will spread across this nation. This is the beginning and with the benevolence of all mighty God, will in fact be successful," Bryant said.
Opponents of the amendment quickly fired off statements calling the amendment intrusive and a government invasion of a woman's privacy.
Jackson gynecologist Freda Bush, also an outspoken supporter of the amendment, says it would still allow for the protection of mothers as well as unborn children.
"If there is a possibility that the pregnancy in the womb is such that the mother's life would be in jeopardy, no one would allow the baby's life over the mother's life. There is no question about that. The mother would take precedent," Bush said.
Supporters of the personhood amendment see an opportunity to challenge Roe versus Wade, but Mississippi College School of Law Professor Matt Steffe says while Federal Courts will likely declare it unconstitutional, that does not mean the U-S Supreme court will take up the case.
"The US Supreme Court decides only those cases that it is interested in deciding. And to suggest that this particular political activity at the state Mississippi will be the vehicle that suddenly makes this US Supreme Court realize it was interested in this all along, seems rather farfetched," Steffe said.
Steffe says even if voters approve the amendment, it is unlikely to ever be the law of the land in Mississippi, because of what he considers clear conflicts with federal laws.
Voters will be voting on three constitutional amendments this November....personhood, voter ID and eminent domain.

Lesley Hazelton, a veteran Middle East journalist, authored this book which was the recipient of a starred and box review in Publishers Weekly, plus a starred review in Booklist.
The prologue gives the account of the 2004 bombings by a Sunni extremist group, on the most holy day celebrated by the Shia's, the 10th day of Muharram in the city of Karbula. This became known as the Ashura Massacre. From there Hazelton starts to explain how the events of today correlate with the history of the past.
After the Prophet spans about a half century from the days of the Prophet Mohammad to the death of his grandson Hussein and his family, at the Massacre of Karbula in 680. This was the event being mourned in 2004 when a multitude of bombs were set off, once again, setting off tensions in the Middle East.
Like most Westerners I knew very little about the beginning of Islam and even less about the difference between a Shia and Sunni. Hazelton has taken a complex history and has turned it into an exciting, easy to read narrative about the Middle East. This is a must read for anyone who would like to have a better understanding of Islam and the Middle East.

At CA Technologies, our development organization uses the Scrum approach to accelerate new releases of products to our customers. Since much of the work our marketing team does is in support of these product launches we thought it made sense to apply Agile methodology to our marketing team as well. So, I decided to be the guinea pig for our first ever sprint in Solutions Marketing, where I work on the CA ClarityTM solution.
Although I'm in marketing, I have a technical background-I started as a programmer-and have run development teams. However, I've never been a software developer on an Agile project, so my first step was to educate myself on the concepts. I chatted with members of our product management team and did some Internet research, learning the hierarchy of master releases, sprints, user stories and tasks.
If I didn't work for a software company that offering free access to an Agile project management product, my next step would undoubtedly have been investigate of tools on the market. Fortunately, I was able to request permission to access CA ClarityTM Agile and immediately put my newfound knowledge to work.
My first consideration was how to structure the work our team does. Since we have two groups in our organization that support different solutions, I set up a master release covering both areas, and then set our individual solutions as products beneath as appropriate. Then, under each product, I was able to define releases covering each fiscal year. I then defined the teams, noting allocations for each team member. At this point, I was done administratively and ready to start defining sprints, user stories and tasks.
At this point I had a choice to make – one that I still think about as we execute our programs using the Agile approach. Would I go with Kanban or Scrum? CA Clarity Agile was able to handle both. We do have repetitive tasks in some cases such as updating marketing collateral, defining social media plans, etc., so I initially considered Kanban. However, we also do work that is very unique, such as creating eBooks and white papers or sponsoring events. Ultimately I decided that I'd rather make it really easy on us "green" marketers just getting into Agile so I stuck to a single approach and Scrum seemed to fit our diverse needs best.
CA Clarity Agile made the rest of the work of defining a sprint really easy for me. I approached this a little differently than our product management organization, in that we don't have a backlog of requested enhancements to work from to build our sprints, rather a set of deliverables that we produce as part of a product launch or marketing campaign. I was able to define user stories based on our customers' requirements, internal and external. One example: "As a customer, I need to be informed about the features in new releases." I did most of my work in the virtual wall, defining tasks such as "Create an FAQ for CA Clarity 13.2″ and assigned them to team members, noting how many hours we would expect each task to take and if any impediments existed. It took only a few minutes to set up an entire sprint and present that information to my team at our daily standup meeting. I gave a tour of the product and our configuration, having had no training myself at all. It was just that easy!
We continue to use CA Clarity Agile, and are now wrapping up our second sprint. I know what the team is working on along with any associated y risks or impediments to task completion. This is helping all of us work more closely and effectively to get our programs completed at the speed the business demands. After we complete our current sprint, we're going to hold a "sprint retrospective". This is an Agile practice where the team meets after the sprint ends and discusses what went well, what didn't go well, and how to improve the next sprint. With CA Clarity Agile, you can run an OOTB report to support the retrospective, and this will really help us as newbies in this area.

The A's will probably open their series against the Blue Jays wearing their green tops. Respect the streak right? Why change their winning ways?
One reason why baseball is like no other sport on Earth, the superstitions.
I've been wearing the same A's hat every day since Monday, since the beginning of the longest win streak of the season, and you can bet that I'm going to wear it tomorrow. At the beginning of the season I thought that hat was jinxed and decided to retire the cap and unretire an older grody cap that would make Eric Gagne proud (hella sweat stains). But now the hat has been unretired and the old hat re-retired. Yeah, it's a fan supersition. I'm a pretty rational guy except for my fan supersitions and my performance routine. But fan superstitions is one of the things that makes being a baseball fan fun.
What are your fan superstitions? Has it helped the A's so far?

Thursday, August 16, 2007
All that having been said, not having one's face buried in front of a Bloomberg terminal all day permits one to draw investment conclusions from, ahem, untraditional sources. Herewith, then, are six sources of investment wisdom gleaned from the beaches of Europe this summer:
1) Augustus Gloop. The porky German glutton from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
is represented on European beaches with distressing frequency, thereby illustrating that American children do not possess a monopoly on obesity. Similarly, the past few weeks have demonstrated that American institutions have not been the sole (or indeed primary) consumers of subprime financial junk food, as the recent travails of a number of European banks, many of them German, have indicated. The primary difference is that while Augustus was sucked up a tube, these banks' share prices are going down the tubes.
2) Waves. The Mediterranean is normally the most placid of seas, with many of its bays, coves, and inlets only registering the slightest of waves. Similarly, the subprime credit crunch was popularly believed to be Made in USA for domestic consumption only. However, holders of UK, Spanish, French, and even selected German shares have recently found that waves created on the western shores of the Atlantic (south Florida, if you will) can reach even the most secluded Mediterranean cove- Wave C in particular is rocking a number of portfolios (as well as a few boats.)
3) Sunburn. Morrissey wasn't noted for his savage tan, so it's perhaps not surprising that the Dipbuyers of the World aren't used to the sun's rays. Just as prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause sunburn for the unprepared, so too can prolonged buying of risk asset dips result in a scorching of one's P/L. The hole in the financial ozone layer makes purchasing assets flying too close to the sun a very dangerous proposition indeed, and it may take more than generous lashings of aloe vera to soothe the burning sensation in many portfolios. The latest intelligence suggests that even the Japanese housewives, clad in their broad-brimmed hats and bearing parasols, have decided to venture indoors and buy back some of their yen shorts. Like sunburn, the DOTW's pain will eventually fade, but only with the passage of time.
(Note: The fellow in the picture is NOT Macro Man.)
4) Icthyosaurs. OK, these marine dinosaurs haven't really been seen on beaches in Europe, or anywhere else, for that matter. They're still extinct. But imagine the furore that would ensue if these fearsome creatures were found, like the coelacanth, to have defied the odds and survived what had been thought to be certain extinction. It would presumably be similar to the commotion that has attended the Lazarus-like resurrection of two other creatures commonly thought to have died out, the 10% equity market correction and generalized financial market volatility.
5) Retired supermodels. OK, Macro Man didn't literally see a retired supermodel. But European beaches do tend to feature lissome women in their 30's and 40's that could certainly pass for retired supermodels. Speaking of retired models, it seems clear that a number of erstwhile "super" models in the credit, equity, and multi-asset space will soon be retired, either by choice or via natural selection.
The implosion of equity quant strategies has been covered admirably and amusingly by fellow-blogger Cassandra, and Macro Man has little to add to what Cassandra has already said. Suffice to say, however, that when a supermodel starts going pear-shaped, she swiftly loses her portfolio of business and is forced into retirement (a few, of course, leave the business on their own terms.) Now that the quant "super" models have also gone pear-shaped, it will be very interesting indeed to see who is left standing and, perhaps more importantly, what the end investor appetite will be for models whose blemishes have now been revealed for the world to see.
6) Sunsets. There's nothing quite like seeing the sun disappear over an ocean horizon, leaving a kaleidoscope of colours amongst the sky, the clouds, the water, and the sand. It conjures enormous feelings of well-being and is an immensely satisfying way to close a day of productive relaxation. A somewhat less satisfying feeling, of course, will be the sun going down on a number of funds and/or portfolio managers. Whether it's an equity quant or a chronic dipbuyer or a subprime credit long, there are plenty of folks for whom the sun is about to set, never to rise again. Many of these managers have been extremely well paid in recent years, so they'll be able to afford an extended holiday where they can take in the sort of sunsets that Macro Man has enjoyed the last couple of weeks.
Conspicuous in its absence: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. While Macro Man saw a few English readers of the final volume in the Potter series (including, it must be admitted, himself) by the pool, he has seen nary a copy on the beach during his entire two-week holiday. The reason may well be perfectly rational, such as there hasn't been time to translate the book into foreign languages yet.
But the parallel with the Voldemort that inhabits Macro Man's world is striking. As best as he can make out, central bank activity in G10 currency and bond markets has been conspicuous by its absence recently. And it seems unlikely that PBOC, CBR, Bacen, and the like have been adding a whole lot to reserves recently, given that all of their currencies have sold off against the dollar. (Why they don't sell a few bucks to 'smooth market conditions' and take a little profit is another question.) Anyhow, crisis-like conditions have meant that, at least temporarily, currency markets have been truly free-floating, and Macro Man has not been terribly surprised to see the USD rally against Europe, the dollar, bloc, and EM as a result.

Thoughts from your holidays are all well and good, but what inquiring minds really want to know is if the carry trade is really over. Since you were not on the job, Emmanuel had to go look at the charts himself. But we are all still interested in your thoughts.

You were (at least for me) very prescient in your picking of the big Wave C ahead when you left. Let us know when it's over :)
You made the point of noting the first sunburnt guy wasn't you - but were surprisingly quiet on who might be accompanying the retired supermodel...

Macro Man;
Recently read your post on the equity market "beta" study. Was intrigued by the differences in results pre- and post-1980. Do you think it is possible that the current economic environment is more similar to the 1970s than to the 1980s or 1990s? If you are interested in an in-depth study on the topic, I recommend John Hussman's recent comment, which can be found here: http://hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc070820.htm

MM - While we've been singing in harmony since you changed your tune on the Yen, and while I share your view that charts can be revealing, I have a nagging suspicion that US PCE is really errr, cooked. With no further refi gains to draw upon, and the ripples of housing start doldrums being felt earnestly in earnings, and employment, and ARM resets that will continue to to take their toll, not to mention the feeling of impoverishment (and negative equity) that many other existing homeowners will feel as housing collateral continues to be liquidated , bitch-slapping prices in surrounding neighborhoods for all to see, and bemoan. This will likely lead to a HIGHER savings rate, even though for many there is already precious little to save, something that has always a point of contention between Financials Calvinists (like yours truly) and the Laffers & Mankiws of the world extolling the virtues of fiscal laxity coupled with negative real rates.
This wealth effect will be particularly dramatic since as conservative AEI economists and apologists for America's persistently low (yes even negative) savings rate always pointed to real estate as the prescient hyper-constructive (no pun intended) alternative means-of-savings that never failed to turn (what to some was) a blood-curdling time series into a Panglossian Valhalla.
Alas, Roubini's right, a USA recession is nigh, and the resulting angst has political-economic turmoil written all over it, from protectionism and anti-china fears, escalating anti-immigrant-ism, to an emerging soak-the-rich (or at least tax them appropriately) policy platform that will yield no counter-cyclical benefit to say the least.
(oh, and while the outside reversal that underpins a weak wave "c" POV, note that all the Demark, mt & lt DMIs all appear to suggest this is but a bear bounce.
On this one, I'll gladly wait til credit spreads begin to converge, commerical real estate breaks its downtrend, and other liquidity correlated sub-classes begin to say this was a mere epileptic fit, and not a chronic condition.

I am not quite so quick to assume that the consumer's goose is cooked; the two worst macro bets during my career infinancial markets have been betting on the BOJ to tighten policy and betting against the US consumer.
I agree that wealth looks set to be a drag on spending, but it is important to remember that disposable income is about six times more significant an explanatory variable on spending growth than wealth is.
I suspect we are set for a period of tepid, below-trend spending growth, possibly for a couple of years. But that is, after all, what financial and global imbalance Calvinists have been calling for, and is not necessarily a bad thing.
But as I said in the post, I think liquidity remains, like Reggie Jackson in the Bronx 30 years ago, the "straw that stirs the drink." And my assessment is that those consitions are, on a macro perspective, still favourable, even if a) not as favourable as over the past few years, and b) micro-liquidity in various markets is causing distress.

CDN trader, I think the failure of the model to perform in the 70's is down to the impact of high, persistent, double digit inflation during that decade.
Ex post, interest rates didn't go as high as they needed to be until Volcker dropped the hammer, and as such bonsd traded rich throughout the decade. While sound similar to today's environment, the magnitude of overvaluation was much higher 30 years ago.
I suspect if the terms of the study were altered to evaluate RELATIVE performance of equities (versus bonds) rather than ABSOLUTE performance, the results would be more consistent.

The US consumer has indeed been the White Whale to many macro-men (note lower "m's").
Be that as it may, in the case of PCE, each spin of the wheel is rather than independant, likely to be path-dependent (the greater the past glory & extraction, the larger the future encumbrence). And while the US consumer may yet make a great save like Brooks Robinson in the 70 World Series, or pull a ummm (rabbit?)from a hat, I am NOT heroically betting FOR it until I see more indications that the Feast of The Miraculous Consumption continues (and continues to be financed). Call me a sheep.

It really seems like these sorts of egregious boarding or checking from behind calls are being made more and more often as the NHL season progresses. The latest one on Sunday night might just be the worst of the season.
New York Rangers center Brad Richards was injured badly when Buffalo Sabres forward Patrick Kaleta shoved him head-first into the boards. It really was an uncomfortable scene, as Richards immediately threw off his gloves and laid motionless on the ice with a severe grimace on his face. He was clearly in a world of pain, but left the ice under his own power. Kaleta was immediately given a five-minute major for checking from behind and a game misconduct. Brendan Shanahan will want to have a word with him tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the play sparked the listless Rangers offense. Given a 5 minute power play, the Rangers immediately scored two goals to take the lead.

News: Melyssa Ford Comes Clean On Getting Scooped By Raekwon
Saturday, Oct 16, 2010 11:22AM
Video vixen Melyssa Ford has come clean and addressed a past dating rumor which involved her and Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon.
According to Ford, gossip sites claimed she was spotted with "The Chef" at a photoshoot.
"It's ridiculous. I've read about people that I've been with that I have never even met before. One great story was about me and Raekwon," she explained in an interview. "He supposedly came to a photo shoot that I was doing and we had eyes for each other. We left in his drop top Phantom and were 'canoodling' all over LA...First of all, I don't 'canoodle.' Secondly, I had never met Raekwon in my life to that point. And third, that photo shoot did exist but he wasn't there. I drove myself there and back home. I was nowhere near anyone's drop top Phantom. I don't think I've even been in one." (KING)
Around December 2008, rumors circulated of Rae and Ford being an item.
Bossip has exclusively learned that Melyssa Ford & Raekwon "The Chef", have been seen around town as a couple. They were recently spotted creeping at Melyssa's "Persona of a Crook" photo shoot where Raekwon came to the set to watch Melyssa's every move. Melyssa will also be starring as the lead chick in his new video for the first single to drop off of "Only Built For Cuban Links 2?. Our spies tell us that they pulled off in Raekwon's custom convertible Rolls Royce right after the shoot to go "hook up." (Bossip)
Speculation on Ford dating 50 Cent emerged last month after she was caught tweeting to the rapper.
"@50Cent lol I'm hiding in plain sight.... move them mountains, Mr Jackson," Ford tweeted on September 6th. (Melyssa Forda's Twitter)
However, she later denied the dating rumors.
"I was home by myself one day, exhausted. I needed a break so I was catching up on movies like The Hangover. My favorite scene is where the wedding singer [sings], "I'll take you to the candy shop." [Laughs]. I tweeted something like, "When I get married, I have to hire the wedding singer from The Hangover. His cover of @50cent is priceless." Then I went down to the gym came back, checked my Twitter page and I gained 400 followers. I was like, "What the f*ck?" [Laughs] Then I start looking at the replies, and I saw that somebody RT'd something that 50 had said to me. He was like, "Hey babe, @MelyssaFord. How you been? Long time, no see," or something like that. [Laughs] People don't know that I've known 50 since 2004. Off of one response, I got 400 followers! So I did a little flirt back and forth. It was no more than, like, six exchanges. In two days, my followers went up by 5,000. Two days later we're on the blogs. Worst things could be said because he's easy on the eyes. Will power [keeps our relationship platonic] [Laughs]. I think [dating 50] would be a lot of unnecessary pressure that I don't know if I'd be willing to deal with. Maybe [if we weren't in the industry], yeah. It's very easy for a woman to fall in love with him and it happens all the time. Because of his money? Yeah. Fine, but the reality of the situation is 50's so charming that he can get and keep just about any woman he wanted. It's just the truth." (VIBE)

Update in progress.
As goods transported on roads are becoming more and more valuable, the importance and need for efficient and safe transport is becoming increasingly important. Alarms on lorries are a matter of course, but alarms have been difficult to apply on the trailer. The reason for this is largely because the communication between lorry and trailer has been difficult to resolve.
DataChassi has developed a wireless communication system to protect valuable goods. The communications system has an inbuilt alarm application that protects the trailer. The solution is not limited to being an alarm but is also a platform for a series of possibilities for safer and more efficient transportation.
DataChassi's systems can be adapted to most customer needs. The system is easy to expand and can be integrated with existing transport information systems.

From our Forums page
As always, Stupid Human Boating Tricks from our very own iboats.com Forums and I Love Boating Facebook page.
So on Sunday morning after breakfast my wife prepares the turkey and puts it in the oven, then off we go for a boat ride. After about 15 minutes my same daughter suggests we go to see Bolt Castle as many have not been there. So off I go around Grindstone Island on my way to the American Narrows. As we're boating along, my wife says "We can't be too long the turkey will burn"
So like a good husband I decided to take a short cut that will cut about 30 minutes off our trip. It's between 2 islands and is usually about 4 1/2' deep, and I figure even with 13 people on board, I'm only going to draw maximum 4'.
Just after I make the turn the boat shudders and come to a complete stop. Oh yea, I should mention that the depth finder does not work.
The starboard engine has stopped and the port is still in gear but we're going nowhere. My wife says to me "Isn't there at least 4' of water under us?"...suddenly my brain comes to life...yes there is at least 4' of water except when the river is down over 2' that leaves 2' and too shallow for us.
So after about an hour of trying various techniques i finally get the boat off the shoal and back to the channel.
We did get to show our guests Bolt Castle but the vibrations made for many spilled drinks...hahaha
The lesson learned....keep abreast of water levels.
BTW...it was a perfectly cooked turkey when we got home. And I'm helping our economy by paying for new props, shafts, struts, bearings and lots of labor.

Lazy Susan – Episode 04
The Octagonal Lazy Susan featured on Rough Cut this week has a lot of bang for the buck. Not only is the octagonal shape beautiful to look at, but the inlaid veneer of birdseye maple and beeswing mahogany really make the piece magnificent. In this episode, Tommy provides detailed instructions on how to build the initial shape, and then takes particular care with his guidance on how to do the inlay. On a very special Rough Cut Road Trip, Tommy gets a behind-the-scenes peek at Historic New England, a massive warehouse of historic artifacts and furniture that is not open to the public. Back in the shop, fellow North Bennet Street School graduate Eli Cleveland joins Tommy to build the Lazy Susan.

enterprise application
An enterprise application is the term used to describe applications -- or software -- that a business would use to assist the organization in solving enterprise problems. When the word "enterprise" is combined with "application," it usually refers to a software platform that is too large and too complex for individual or small business use.
Integration and Deployment
Enterprise applications are typically designed to interface or integrate with other enterprise applications used within the organization, and to be deployed across a variety of networks (Internet, Intranet and corporate networks) while meeting strict requirements for security and administration management.
Proprietary enterprise applications are usually designed and deployed in-house by a specialized IT development team within the organization. However, an enterprise may outsource some or all of the development of the application, and bring it back in-house for deployment.
Application Service Providers (ASP)
Today, using enterprise application service providers (ASP) is more prevalent. Here, the enterprise application is designed by a third-party application service provider and leased to the enterprise, as an on-premise or hosted service. This is also often referred to software-as-a-service (SaaS) or Web-based applications.
Another trend in enterprise applications is the move to cloud computing, where the enterprise moves some or its entire infrastructure to the cloud -- a type of Internet-based computing, where services are delivered to an organization's computers and devices through the Internet as an on-demand service. Some enterprises may also choose a hybrid solution where cloud applications are integrated with on-premise systems.
Some of the more common types of enterprise applications include the following:
Other common names for enterprise application include enterprise app, enterprise software and enterprise application software (EAS).

I Feel Impotent
I'm a fast typist. Ninety words per minute. Take it.
That last line, however, took three minutes to type. It's excruciating. Why?
I'm switching to the Dvorak keyboard layout. For those who don't know, typewriters started out with their keys arranged in an "ABCD" configuration this caused the hammers to bind, so the standard "QWERTY" keyboard was invented.
This layout turns out to be very inefficient for us humans, so a guy named Dvorak came up with a better one. His arrangement requires 90% less finger movement which is better for speed as well as accuracy and not getting carpal tunnel syndrome.
There is a good program I am using called Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor that teaches you how to do it. I will not use the old layout for anything anymore. Burning bridges, baby!
This took 32 minutes to type. Posts may be on the short side for a while.

"I hope this fight is as fun as it has the potential to be. (Lauzon) is a very aggressive fighter and I'm an aggressive fighter too I like to preach attack, attack, attack and he's the same way. I'm always seeing him on the offense. I have the experience but he's been the more active fighter. He's coming off eight wins in a row and I think it should be a great fight. Hopefully I don't get knocked out in the first three minutes."

KITTITAS COUNTY, Wash. - Kittitas County Deputies are trying to find the owner of several chainsaws found at the bottom of Yakima River.
Last week Swift Water Rescue Deputies teamed up with Kittitas County Fire and Rescue to recover several chain saws that had been dropped off the Thorp Highway Bridge into the Yakima River.
The teams used ropes and equipment support to recover the items from the river.
Deputies say recovering the chainsaws was a great training opportunity during extremely cold water conditions.
