CAG report picks holes in KMML operations
Our Bureau
Thiruvananthapuram , July 7
THE State-owned Kerala Minerals and Metals Ltd (KMML) has suffered production loss to the tune of Rs 358.59 crore due to lower efficiency of the titanium dioxide pigment plant, according to report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG).
The report for the year ended March 31, 2004, which was tabled in the State Assembly, states that the company also incurred a loss of Rs 142.15 crore on account of short recovery of ilmenite, rutile and zircon from raw sand.
Besides, the premature failure of critical equipment and non-adherence to output norms of finished pigment resulted in a loss of Rs 40.80 crore to the company. Delay in installation of tunnel drier, interruption in supply of oxygen, procurement of packing system and failure to replace critical equipment in time also led to the loss of another Rs 42.01 crore, says the report.
In the case of Traco Cable Company, the report finds that the company incurred avoidable expenditure of Rs 1.40 crore towards overtime and production incentive for four years up to 2002-03. The company also gave penalty of Rs 4.35 crore to DoT/BSNL for delayed supplies.
These apart, idle wages paid by the company during the period of production hold-up from May 2002 to March 2004 amounted to Rs 4.07 crore.
According to the report, the implementation of Kuttiyadi Extension Scheme by the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) without giving due regard to actual inflow of water rendered the investment of Rs 201.40 crore unfruitful.
Also, the failure of the board to maintain the letter of credit limit as prescribed by the Union Government for payment of dues to National Thermal Power Corporation resulted in avoidable loss of Rs 1.60 crore.
The inability of the board to obtain consumable spares and tools free of cost as provided in the contract led to avoidable expenditure of Rs 76.28 lakh, besides idle investment of Rs 1.57 crore in spares involving interest loss of Rs 40.90 lakh, the report says.
The report notes that a test check of the records of Government companies and statutory corporations disclosed deficiencies in management that had serious financial implications. In seven cases, unproductive expenditure/imprudent investment/blocking of funds and loss of interest amounted to Rs 214.96 crore.
In five cases, extra avoidable expenditure amounting to Rs 3.82 crore was detected. Again, loss of revenue of Rs 1.52 crore was found in two cases due to omission in applying the correct revised tariff.

Stewart, Miranda (2003) Pragmatic weight and face: pronominal presence and the case of the Spanish second person singular subject pronoun tú. Journal of Pragmatics, 35 (2). pp. 191-206. ISSN 0378-2166Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)
Studies of the presence or absence of the subject personal pronoun in Spanish have typically taken place within the fields of theoretical syntax or variationist sociolinguistics and have sought to correlate pronominal occurrence either with linguistic features or with speaker variables. This study places the occurrence of the second person subject pronoun tu within the framework of interactional pragmatics and investigates the potential effects of extra-linguistic factors on the linguistic choices of speakers within a broad framework of Gricean pragmatics and politeness theory. It argues that the pronoun functions as a multi-functional Gricean hedge which allows speakers both to construct a social identity and to negotiate face (their own as well as that of their interlocutor) in interpersonal interaction. The mere inclusion of the pronoun by the speaker in contravention of the Gricean maxim of quantity invites the hearer to draw an implicature; this may be discoursal and relate to the frames of belief of the speaker and hearer, or conversational as in the use of the second person singular pronoun in an attempt by the speaker to cede the floor. The article focuses in particular on the use of the pronoun tu and argues that its presence responds to the face wants of speaker and hearer.

McLennann County District Attorney Abel Reyna says he will use money from forfeiture funds to pay for prosecution portion of the Albert Love Jr. capital murder trial.
Reyna told News Channel 25 it will amount to about $15,000 to ease the burden on the county's budget and therefore taxpayers.
The district attorney's office gets to keep a portion of the criminal profits it recovers from drug dealers and other illicit funds. Seized property is often auctioned to generate more money for that forfeiture account.
Reyna said on his facebook account it was "using criminal proceeds to prosecute criminals".
Love was convicted of capital murder and sent to death row for the ambush killings of Tyus Sneed and Keenan Hubert in Waco's Spring Street Murders in 2011.
His trial was moved to Georgetown in Williamson County because of the media coverage surrounding the trial of co-defendant Rickey Cummings, who was also convicted and sent to death row.
Bills are still coming in, but the Love trial is expected to cost McLennan County significantly more than the approximately $300,000 it cost to prosecute Cummings.

As of January 1 the FAA's Airmen Certification branch began issuing mechanic and repairman certificates with a new design on the back of the certificate honoring Charles E. Taylor, who served as the Wright brothers' mechanic and is credited with building the engine for the 1903 Wright Flyer. Since the introduction of the updated airman certificate in 2003, the mechanic and repairman community has requested that the FAA issue a certificate that represents Taylor's contributions.
Dale Meiler, lead maintenance inspector for Banyan Air Service at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, is the recipient of the ATP/NATA General Aviation Service Technician's Award. The annual honor is given in recognition of the outstanding performance of a licensed airframe and powerplant mechanic or radio repairman who has practiced his or her craft for 20 or more years.
On October 30, Dr. Jan Galla opened an aviation medical examination office at the Jet Aviation facilities on Teterboro Airport. Galla, a cardiac surgeon for the past 20 years, decided to become an aviation medical examiner (AME) full-time after five years of offering airman medical exams in his spare time. Galla's practice is solely for aviation medical exams, primarily for professional flight crews.
Telex Communications, a long-time provider of commercial aviation headsets, has a new product that offers battery-free active noise reduction (ANR). The Airman 850, being demonstrated at Booth No. 2106, is the only headset on the commercial market to use voltage from microphone bias to power its active noise reduction technology and requires no special aircraft panel power.
Hayden Sheaffer, the pilot-in-command of the Cessna 150 that violated the Washington, D.C. ADIZ on May 11, will be allowed to reapply for his airman certificate in 10 months. The FAA reduced the original one-year penalty and Sheaffer, 69, agreed to drop his appeal to the NTSB.

After looking at numerous incentive programs, and rejecting many because they're more complicated than I'd like them to be, I've decided to use Jennifer Fink's This is Your Brain… on Music! (Pianimation)
I like this because : (1) It's easy. It's as easy as printing 2 pages and inserting them in the student's binder. (2) It involves setting goals in a number of specific areas : sightreading targets, rhythm challenges, anytime/anyplace pieces (My Top 5 List), technique goals. (3) It's easily adaptable for each student depending on the level. (4) Exam requirements, for those already in the graded system, can be incorporated. Corresponding technical requirements from method books could be included and enhanced. (5) My students are used to getting prizes from the Treasure Box periodically. Achieving each of the 7 overall goals will result in along-the-way rewards.
There has been much research and publicity in recent years about the brain and music. Most parents bring it up in conversation. (Digression: I bristle when they say they want their kids to do music so that they will be better in math. Is that the only reason to study music?) This will tie in nicely with information about the development of the brain.
I won't use this for first-years – and I have a number of them again this year. I also found that junior high (beginning grade 7) students are too old, or at least they think they're too old. It's probably part of our local school system culture that groups students K-6/7-9/10-12. Once kids reach junior high, they are SOOO not in elementary school any more.
Jennifer has a couple of posts detailing her plans for this program. My own modification will be the absence of the cranium coins part, but any studio with more students at the elementary/intermediate level would be enlivened by this, too, I'm sure.
Check out Jennifer's posts for more details, a couple of options for the printable brain pages, and her links to more resources.

I came across this heading, picture, and comment on an antique photography web site.
August 1, 1910. New York Giants centerfielder Fred Snodgrass, whose 10th-inning error in the 1912 World Series shadowed him for the rest of his life, and beyond.
Headline of his obituary in the New York Times: "Fred Snodgrass, 86, Is Dead; Ball Player Muffed 1912 Fly."Photo Property of George Grantham Bain Collection
This is one of the reasons I love baseball. This poor bastard dropped a fly ball in an important baseball game. It followed him for the rest of his life. In fact, it followed him even into death.
Having been a Giants fan since the seventies, I have seen my share of bad baseball. The years 2000 through 2004 were pretty sweet however. As was 1997, and who could forget the heartbreak that was 1993 ?
Comment Starter: Who will be the Fred Snodgrass of 2008 ? Who will be the guy you are p*ssed off at for the next ten years ?

I thought I would share two stories I read, both interesting in their own way. To me they both display homerism, but in opposing fashion. One in the what we have come to expect of the MSM, and the other in what could be perceived as the view through kool-aid glasses, except that it is not, and is worthy of having been written or at the very least shared here at MHR. One is conventional
wisdom (main-stream spew), and the other is a thoughtful comparison of the monumental parallels between two teams.

The St. John's Fire and Rescue Department will be utilizing updated technology while conducting their Citizen SAFE program.
The St. John's Fire and Rescue Department Citizen SAFE (Smoke Alarm and Fire Education) is a door-to-door proactive program where firefighters offer to check residential smoke alarms, install new smoke alarms and batteries, offer to conduct a home safety survey, and ensure residential homes are properly addressed free of charge. The program is conducted on the first and third Saturday of each month.SECTION 5-25-1310 of the South Carolina Code of Laws requires smoke detectors for one-family and two-family dwellings, including manufactured housing.The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and most smoke alarm manufacturers recommend that smoke alarms are to be installed on each floor of a home, in each bedroom, and outside of sleeping areas. Standard smoke alarms activate only in the area where the smoke is detected.
Smoke must reach other alarms before they activate. An example is if there is smoke in a hallway, only the smoke alarm in the hallway will activate. In order for the smoke alarms to active in other areas, smoke must enter the room, reducing the time for escape.
The St. John's Fire and Rescue Department Fire Prevention Division has upgraded to wireless smoke alarms. The wireless alarms "speak" to each other through radio frequencies, much like hard-wired smoke alarms in newer homes. In the same scenario mentioned above the smoke alarm that activates in the hallway will also activate the smoke alarms in near-by rooms before smoke reaches the sleeping occupants. Along with young children and older adults, hearing impaired citizens present a unique challenge when it comes to early warning if a fire occurs, especially if they are sleeping. The St. John's Fire District will also be installing hearing impaired smoke alarms for those citizens in need. Hearing impaired smoke alarms use visual and movement devices to alert hearing impaired citizens. The St. John's Fire and Rescue Department Fire Prevention Division will be demonstrating both types of smoke alarms on June 20th at 12:30 pm. The location of the demonstration will be at St. John's Fire Station 7, 1142 Main Road John's Island, SC.

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
These Hope Nature poems are examples of Nature poems about Hope. These are the best examples of Hope Nature poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Kiss you
While you sleep
Lady dressed in white
And melt your cold heart made of ice
Will rise
High into the sky
And fall as raindrops from God's eyes
Buds below
Where now you will grow
With me - in the bloom of a rose
Author: Elaine George
* Note: This poem is a Personification as well as a triple Fibonacci
Brian Strand's 'Image Contest': First Place
John Heck's '12-in-one' Contest: First Place
I am the ring around Saturn
spinning words as particles of ice and dust
with the power to transcend
I am the original chosen to be right here right now
transmitting verbal frequencies
through speaking my thoughts into existence
I am the heir of omnipotence,
born with a direct connection to profound abundance
The one whose words will age, yet still have substance;
since there are no boundaries attached to my pen
I am constant energy
Translating personal experience into imagery
Vulnerable to tyranny,
yet i continue attempting to share some truth
through this abstract language of poetry
I am the core
I am that I am more
I am the Divine Presence that is the Source of my rewards
I am the green you get when you mix too much yellow with the blue
That shade of gold you get when the sun resides into darkness
and when it ascends in the dawn burning dew
I am the transition between the third and fourth dimension of time;
the love you feel when you realize how it feels
I am the poem that is abstractly direct
because I write beyond limits
absorbing frequencies from 3 to 8 hertz
through meditation for several minutes
I am the one bridging the gap between
the analog ascension and the direct connection to spirit
The one who is love
because I am a descendent of it
I am the rhythm that the wind blows
I am the beginning and the ending of stories told
about the universe and how miracles unfold
I hold the power to accept judgement from those who will do just that
Not knowing that I am them in the absolute reality of me
Judge that
I am knowledge beyond measure because that is my right
So I continue meeting the different parts of me
when I meditate and write
Who am I?
Standing firm
we live
we give
we take
we learn
we strive to make sure
each day enlightens us
and brightens us
even as light fades to gray
may we keep fighting
with two swollen feet
beneath the body and soul
experiencing trials
and intense life lessons
meshed with stresses
may we persevere
turn off fear's song
may we stand firm
as we glide along
through shifty winds of change
that may cause things to sway
but we hold true
inside the values and morality
we stand for
fall for nothing
may stumble along the trip
may swerve at the wheel yet
do not lose our grip
because no one
can eclipse the sun
everyone heals
before they're done
Just when situations arise
flooding us with pain we despise
and just when it seems like
our tear ducts are dry
from ongoing cries
we may think
things are on the brink of ending
then God shows us the ways of faith
by way of love that he's sending
Standing firm
we live
we give
we take
we learn
we make sure
every day enlightens us
and brightens us
as each day takes its turn.
Riding an elephant
Down the narrow trail looking triumphant
Scanning the golden landscape
Like Hannibal with enemies in flight
Sight from a lofty height
King of the jungle moving
With lioness by his side
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro
Guides by my side with packs on their backs
Some paths steep with rocks
Boots slipping below our tired feet
Beautiful birds in unison flight
Moving with terrestrial light
Stunning sunlight summit on the peak
Praying in an Ethiopian Church
Preserved in rocks built by humans' hands
Never touched by conquest plans
Protected from the invaders' footsteps
Queen of Sheba and Solomon's nest
Touched by Arch of the Covenant
Mary, Joseph, and Jesus once slept
Eating yam, sipping palm wine, and tasting milk
Freshly squeezed by experienced hands
Taste of life in the mosaic grassland
Sustaining and soul refreshing
Cradle of humankind adorning
Invaded for its gold, riches, and human capacity
Birth of life on earth with tenacity
Respecting its living and arduous journey
Essence of life once was and is again to come
Riding a camel across the hot Sahara sand
Once wet now dried, exported gold from Mali…
Treasures from the hearts of once African empires
That which was, is, and shall forever be
Africa the birthing Motherland
We still love and respect thee!

I am the spirit of satin stardust
and the antiquities of golden memories alive
I call to you from the rising warmth of the sun
and greet you in the misty morning light
I am the steady and rolling drum beat
echoing from the jagged heights above
I am the mysterious curves of the raging waters'
and the freedom birds of love
I rise above the white summer clouds
in lilting songs of grace
and roam with the western tail-winds
to take you home again
I am a Spirit of our gracious Lord God Almighty
of love hope and faith
I have come to tell
Dedicated To P.D.
When the sun sets, The stars shine with no regrets. Darkness fills the air, The moon gives light with every care. The darkness is easier to walk through, Every light shining is so pure and true. Guidence forever are the stars in the sky, With them we find our places lifted so high. Forever is the moon to cast light upon us all, We become encouraged to stand firm and tall. The stars shine with no regrets, When the sun sets.
When the sun sets, Shining its powerful light it never forgets. Though light fades to darkness, It comes about with alertness. Shadows before the eye can see, The little shining light is enough to set us free. Sometimes we are afraid to walk alone in the dark, From which we were given a caustic remark. Guidance Forever is the changing of dark and light, It helps us to be strong and make one last fight. Forever are the shadows lurking at every turning point, If we give in it is ourselves we disappoint. Shining its powerful light it never forgets, When the sun sets.
When the sun sets, The sky is filled with wonderful colors that the ocean reflects. All the animals of the sea, Come forth creating a musical harmony. The waves crash upon the shore, Washing up new sand to the ocean floor. Its a beautiful site to see, The ocean sounds are calmingly free. Who's to say the ocean isn't peaceful get away, Its a calming place to relax and stay. The sky is filled with wonderful colors that the ocean reflects, When the sun sets.
The winter Queen has arrived
Silent and soft and slow and divine
Slowly thru icy breath she whispers
As her silver garments open wide
Miracles appear swirling free
As tiny angels dancing above
Softly drifting to the ground
On the wall and rooftops
Window ledges and branches bare
Tiny crystal flowers bloom
As she spreads her blanket around
Tinkling and glittering they enter
Frigid human lonely hearts
And like wild butterflies
The warmth flutter again
As each flake a beautiful dream weave
In the white tapestry of life
By Tahera Mannan
She walks away.
Girlish and glorious
through air
like a kite on a string
that pulls
tautly slipping through tightened fingers,
burning a little,
and slicing through
if ever left unattended,
so preciously tensioned
against the cold
Tears begin to flow
but I do not know . . .
my heart?
or the wind?
If my heart, then am I sad
to be here on the ground
or joyful
to be watching the kite
In answer, a quivering.
A wisp.
"She will not fall or float away while I hold her thus.
She will be beautiful for me."
Twisting, turning,
the tiny leaf,
made it's way to the ground.
For another of God's creations
life has ended;
A short life it may seem;
Only a season.
Such is it with the life of man.
Man is here,
only for a little season.
Time is fleeting,
and after this
When the sky bleeds solitude
like a wounded weeping heart and
the horizon's embrace wraps valleys about eternity,
then, only then, can the bountiful earth find love.
Crimson dawns feed the artist eye, and poet's pen
for all that's green and wonderful must bleed, and rise, and die.
Each reflection rainbowed in cirrus cloud's caress
or white capped ocean wave combine
Blue bloods of forest's fringe between earth and sky,
meadowlark and nightingale
a wedding bell of bliss,
the mornings brings…

Rudy Can Fail (Again)
Monday, April 20, 2009 at 9:50 am
Via Ben Smith, we see Rudy Giuliani pondering a political comeback on the heels of a gay marriage bill in New York.
This will create a grass-roots movement. This is the kind of issue that, in many ways, is somewhat beyond politics.
Via Siena College, we see that… a majority of New Yorkers now favor legal gay marriage.
By a 53-39 percent margin, voters support the Senate passing a bill to legalize same sex marriages that would virtually ensure its becoming law. Democrats, independent and young voters, and women strongly support Senate passage. Republicans strongly oppose passage, with men, older voters, African Americans, and Protestants also opposed. Support is strongest in New York City. Every region of the state supports passage.
Now, it's always possible that support could slip after a contentious campaign against this bill, and it's true that passage will be complicated because the swing votes in the New York state Senate are socially conservative Hispanic Democrats. But 39 percent isn't much of a grassroots groundswell for a political campaign, especially when some of that 39 percent is composed of African Americans who gave Giuliani less than 5 percent of the vote in his runs for mayor.

Dozens Face Federal Charges for Gang-Related Drug Trafficking in South MississippiBy Rhonda Miller | Published 01 Aug 2012 08:46pm |
Forty-nine people face charges related to drug trafficking and gang activity in South Mississippi. MPB's Rhonda Miller reports the arrests are the result of a 15-month investigation.
"The charges include possession with the intent to distribute cocaine and cocaine base, also known as crack, interstate transportation of cocaine with intent to distribute, and there's a possession of firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking."
That's U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi Gregory Davis detailing the federal charges against 49 people yesterday at Moss Point City Hall.
Supervisory Agent for the FBI on the Gulf Coast James Burton said those arrested are associated with the Black Gangster Disciples street gang. Burton said the Southeast Mississippi Safe Streets Task Force is a critical element in disrupting gangs in the Pascagoula and Moss Point Areas.
"Seven law enforcement agencies participate in this task force, each of which is committed to this long-term coordinated effort to disrupt and dismantle the violent street gangs which intimidate, prey upon and target the law-abiding citizens of local communities."
After a-year-and-a-half on the job, Moss Point Police Chief Keith Davis said the arrests are a big step in bringing peace to the streets.
"When I took office, the biggest issue we had was the citizens were afraid to come outside because of all the crime activity that was happening in the city. So by removing this large element from the community, it's going to give people renewed confidence in their community, where they can go out and enjoy their property. Children can return outside and play."
Five kilos of cocaine and crack cocaine, with a street value of about half a million dollars, were seized in investigation. Law enforcement officers said the indictments are just one phase of long-term efforts to keep gang violence off the streets of South Mississippi.

The competition to determine, once and for all, the Official 2009 Cardinals Players' Nicknames (all nicknames are unofficial, offer void in Tennessee).
Nicknames are a hallmark of baseball, possibly as old as the game itself. A good nickname for a player is like a poem: it fits seamlessly with their given name and tells a whole story about them in one or two words.
Yes, the nickname in baseball is as natural as the chocolate chips in a cookie. And the Cardinals are a team steeped in good nicknames as they are in all traditions of baseball. Reminisce with me about the halcyon days when the field was patrolled by men like:
"Sunny" Jim Bottomley
Lou "The Franchise" Brock
"The Baby Bull", Orlando "Cha Cha" Cepeda
Jay Hanna "Dizzy" Dean
Leo "The Lip" Durocher
Frankie "The Fordham Flash" Frisch
Bob "Hoot" Gibson
Marty "Slats" Marion
Joe "Ducky" Medwick
Johnny "Big Cat" Mize
Stan "The Man" Musial
Ken "Zamboni" Reitz
Enos "Country" Slaughter
Lonnie "Skates" Smith
Ozzie "The Wizard" Smith
And remember, too, some of the great nicknames throughout all of baseball:
"Hammerin'" Hank Aaron
Richie "Putt-Putt" Ashburn
James "Cool Papa" Bell
Johnny "Little General" Bench
Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown
Charlie "The Old Roman" Comiskey
Bob "The Heater from Van Meter" Feller
Lou "The Iron Horse" Gehrig (or one I would love to know the story behind: "Biscuit Pants")
Walter "The Big Train" Johnson
Greg "Mad Dog" Maddux
Christy "Big Six" Mathewson
Willie "The Say Hey Kid" Mays
Willie "Stretch" McCovey
"The Sultan of Swat", George Herman "Babe" Ruth
Duke "The Silver Fox" Snider
Ted "The Splendid Splinter" Williams
Ah. Smell the pine tar and chewing tobacco.
Now, I would posit that the art of nicknames leaves something to be desired in the modern day. Sure, there are a handful of good nicknames on the field right now,
Sean "The Mayor" Casey
Jeff "Frenchie" Francoeur
Travis "Pronk" Hafner
Roy "Doc" Halladay
Dan "Caveman" Haren
Frank "Big Hurt" Thomas (not technically employed right now, but not officially retired)
Shane "The Flyin' Hawaiian" Victorino
(All nicknames per Wikipedia)
but mostly, modern major league nicknames are not-so-clever tricks with the player's name: like "A-Rod", "Man-Ram", "Smoltzy". You can see what I mean here.
A good nickname requires a few things:
First, the nickname should not be based on the player's real name. It may be something that rhymes with part of a player's name, but it shouldn't just be their name with different parsing (A-Rod) or their name with a suffix (Smoltzy).
Second, the nickname should actually have something to do with the player himself, not just a cute addition that makes his name sound funny (I'm looking at you, Chris Berman). For example, Hafner is called "Pronk" because his former teammate, Bill Selby, combined what were Hafner's two nicknames, both about his abilities on the field: "The Project" and "Donkey" (Wiki link). As a different case, take Roy Halladay. "Doc" was appended to him because it combines with his last name to sound like the Old West gunslinger and boozer Doc Holliday. "Now," you might say, "That's just a cute addition, something you were deriding earlier." Ah, but "Doc" also connotes Halladay's senior position on the pitching staff, that he's the best, the most experienced, and the most repected pitcher his team's got. So, to me "Doc" is a good nickname.
Third, the nickname has to be at least marginally original. Could Albert Pujols be called "The Splendid Splinter"? His talent level would certainly qualify. But the unoriginality of the nickname would doom it to failure. Countless Red Sox fans would cry out "Wuddah you, retahded? Pujols is no Teddy Ballgame!" And God knows the last thing we want to do is piss off New England fans in their era of sports dominance. <sarcasm>
What about Pujols' most common nicknames currently? "The Mang" is a co-opt (some might argue an ethnically insensitive one) of Stan Musial's nickname. And it sounds too much like "The Man". So for me, it doesn't make the cut. "The Machine" seems pretty fitting given Albert's consistently great play year to year, but I wouldn't have even known people called him that if it weren't for Wikipedia. The fact that it hasn't caught on (to me at least, let me know if you disagree) means it's off my list. How about "El Hombre"? This one seems pretty golden to me. One could argue that it too is a co-opt of Musial's nickname, and in a sense it is. But in this case, borrowing seems to work. "El Hombre" is different enough from "The Man" that you wouldn't confuse the two. Further, it implies something about Pujols: that alongside Musial, he's arguably the best position player the Cardinals have ever had. That the nickname is Spanish pays tribute to his Dominican roots. And "El Hombre" ties Pujols in to Cardinal history: what an honor to share a nickname with Stan Musial, even if they're in different languages. To me, "El Hombre" is the winner.
But that's not only for me to decide, which brings me to the reason for this Fanpost (long story short….too late).
I put it to you, the most knowledgeable gathering of Cardinals fans (who also have internet access), to create, nay, discover great nicknames for the 2009 Cardinals.
Some ground rules for the ensuing discussion:
1.) The nickname should not be just a play on the player's real name, e.g. Ryan "Thudwick" Ludwick. Think Old School nicknames. (We can debate whether "Wagonmaker" or "Cobbler" should be acceptable for Wainwright and Skip.)
2.) The nickname must be about the player himself, not just a cute appellation, e.g. Winnie the Pujols (God, I hate Berman).
3.) And finally, the name must be original enough so that no other well known player in the history of baseball would share it (we can argue the particulars of "well known" should an issue arise).
An example of a Cardinal player with what these rules would consider a perfect nickname is Todd "The Colonel" Wellemeyer. It meets all the criteria and it's pretty cool to think "Alright, the Colonel's pitching today." Another example: Jason "'Stache" LaRue.
And now, what players to include…. Since the 25 man roster has not yet been finalized, I'll include any players who have a realistic chance of heading north. Let me know if you disagree with this list and I can make changes.
Rick/Dick Ankiel
Brian Barden
Chris Carpenter
Chris Duncan
Ryan Franklin
David Freese
Khalil Greene
Josh Kinney
Jason LaRue
Kyle Lohse
Ryan Ludwick
Joe Mather
Trever Miller
Yadier Molina
Jason Motte
Kyle McClellan
Joel Pineiro
Albert Pujols
Colby Rasmus
Dennys Reyes
Brendan Ryan
Skip Schumaker
Brad Thompson
Joe Thurston
Adam Wainwright
Todd Wellemeyer
(sorry the list is so freaking long....couldn't figure out a multi-column format)
Some of these players already have well known nicknames that would qualify under the established nickname rules (Brad "Puppy Kicker" Thompson, Todd "The Colonel" Wellemeyer). But I didn't want to include any established nicknames since that's not for me to decide. If the VEB community comes to a consensus that WonderBrad (there's another one) should officially be known as "Puppy Kicker", then all the better.
I don't expect to get a good nickname for every one of these players. I mean, what the hell could we call Trever Miller anyway? But it would be cool to get a solidified good nickname for the most beloved players: Pujols, Wainwright, Carpenter, Molina, etc..
I think the best way to do this is for people to shout out their suggestions in the comments and see which ones get the most applause. If one player has two nickname suggestions that the community cannot decide on, I could submit a subsequent Fanpost where that player's nicknames are put to a poll. We'll see if it gets that far. When the nicknames seem decided (or whenever people lose interest), I'll post again with the results. And I expect everyone to memorize them and use them profusely during the season.
So what do you say, VEB? Who's the next player to have a nickname as awesome as Cool Papa Bell?

It has been quite a while since I posted here.... but I wanted to put down a few thoughts.
I went into this year, as much of you did, expecting this to be a rebuilding year. However, I had a surprise of hope when we saw the offense explode on Monday Night against the Redskins. Then, of course, as all Eagles fans deal with each year, my hopes were dashed by inconsistent play and QB woes.
I knew this would be a rebuilding year but I am excited about the future.
The purpose of this post however is to express how pleased I am at the improved play of the Defense. They seem to be coming around. It's a new scheme with a lot of new faces. They seem to be getting their legs finally.
Here is where I am extremely pleased. I have been a Nate Allen fan since he was drafted. He looked like he was gonna be special his first year when he started off with 3 picks in 4 games. We were running a Jim Johnson Defense under McDermott. Then he was injured. When he returned, he was still in recovery mode and dealing with the horrible scheme called the "wide 9" which put too much run support emphasis on our safeties. This is not Nate Allen's strong suit as he is more of a coverage safety. Between recovery and a horrible scheme, his sophmore and jr years have been marred with inconsistent play and consistent media bashing.
This year, i expected a defensive learning curve and steady progression. That is just what we got. The defense is playing better and so is Nate Allen. He has gotten better each game. His confidence is coming back and I wouldn't be surprised to hear the constant critiques to start turning to consistent compliments.
Looking to the future, Nate Allen is in a contract year. He has not played to his 2nd round draft pick status yet but I would not be surprised to see him get offered a veteran contract to stay here. We have tried other safeties.
Jaquin Jarret, Jared Page, Kenny Phillips, Patrick Chung (can't stay healthy...same as in New England) and the former Colts safety from a few years ago (name escaping me) .
Nate Allen is not Brian Dawkins. Let's face it. No one is. But let's give credit where credit is due. He keeps working, keeps grinding, and is showing signs of improvement. I for one, won't be surprised to see him in Eagles Green again next year.

I've been combing the internet trying to find out more about New Moon, and I am sure many of you are doing the same. I haven't found an official website that will host information about the movie. Which is surprising since I know the script has been written and the actors signed/resigned for the new film. In an effort to learn more I went to Summit Entertainment and checked out their press releases.
From a press release on December 13, 2008:
"Production on NEW MOON is scheduled to begin in the coming months and the studio is planning to release the film towards the end of 2009 or early 2010."
More information on production and release dates was found at Reelz Channel:
If Reelz is right, the movie will start filming in March of 2009 and be released for audience (world-wide?) consumption on November 20th, 2009. That would be fantastic! While I honestly can't say that I love Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) I do look forward to this movie.
One of the things I hope they do is have Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) appear or briefly manifest himself during all of Bella's hallucinations. He could appear over her shoulder scolding her, or hover just out of eyesight and be blurry or ill defined... a menacing guardian angel.
Luckily for Edward fans 90% of the time he and Bella (Kristen Stewart) are separated from each other occurs in a blink of an eye... remember how the chapters became month titles? Not much to go on there - a reckless episode in Port Angeles with Jessica, the idea to refurbish some motorcycles, learning to ride the motorcycles, urge for gory movie, Jacob turning wolfy, more stunts, some cliff diving and wham - back to the hot vampires. 30 minutes to 45 depending on length of film montage... right? right? I hope!

MP delivers health cuts protest petition
Updated 10:26pm Wednesday 14th May 2014 in News
A PETITION has handed in at the House of Commons against a raft of proposed health cuts in part of the North-East.
Tom Blenkinsop, the Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland MP, delivered the 700-strong protest against plans that he says will hit residents' health.
The Labour MP said the proposals would close Park End clinic and minor injuries units at East Cleveland Hospital and Guisborough Hospitals.
The petition is also a protest against the decision of South Tees clinical commissioning group (CCG) to close Skelton's NHS walk-in centre.
Mr Blenkinsop said: "The response to the petitions so far has been staggering. It goes to show just how much people care about their local health services.
"Losing these services will radically reduce patient choice for East Cleveland and Middlesbrough residents, risks adversely affecting health of residents, and threatens to increase the pressure on already stretched A&E services.
"I urge Tory Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, NHS England and South Tees CCG to act to abandon and reverse plans."

CHICAGO (AP) - A correctional officer was among those arrested over the weekend for smuggling contraband into Cook County Jail.
Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart made the announcement Monday.
Dart's office says Jermaine Hoskins was arrested after police found marijuana and tobacco in his car, alongside toothpaste tubes. Investigators say he had been bringing contraband items into the jail for more than a year. He was charged with bringing contraband into a penal institution and official misconduct, both felonies. Dart's office says investigators learned that toothpaste caps were used to measure marijuana that was distributed detainees. Also arrested were a jail detainee, Lawrence Post, and his acquaintance, Taveda Driver. Both were charged with bribing an officer, also a felony.
All three appeared in bond court Monday at Chicago's Leighton Criminal Court building.

I was most fortunate to be exposed to the many fads and fancies of the 50s. Every summer a yoyo professional would come around to the rec centers and demonstrate his skills and talents. For the next two or three weeks we would all have our Duncan yoyos out, practicing "walking the dog" and the "cradle."
Of course there were Hula Hoops too. When they first hit the scene they were very expensive. We had Hula Hoop contests at the rec—endurance spinning around the waist, and all kinds of tricks and back spinning. Now you can find Hula Hoops in the dollar store.
Does anyone remember the bobba link? It was a wooden barrel about the size of an adult fist. There was a small rope attached to a wooden handle with a one-inch dowel—the idea was to flip the barrel onto the dowel. We were easily amused in those days.
When the Frisbee came along we soon became the best of the best. We made up games to see how far we could throw it or who would drop it first. We learned to throw it into the wind and play it boomerang style by ourselves.
We had glow-in-the-dark Frisbees and mini-Frisbees. There were all kinds of ways you could grip it, and boy did we experiment. Bonus: they were practically indestructible. This was a fad that lasted through my college years and into my thirty-somethings.
I am not sure when the wiffle ball came on the scene but I recall we tried to use it in our stickball games. We originally used a "Pennsy Pinky" ball. It was a hollow pink rubber ball pumped full of air. It was hard and bounced great, and printed on the outside was the keystone logo of Pennsylvania.
The stick was usually a good heavy-duty broom handle. You only needed two to play—a batter and a pitcher, and of course a wall. The pitcher would wind up just like in the pros and throw the pinky as fast as he could.
The batter tried his best to slug it out of the schoolyard. Scoring depended on whether the ball went over the fence or onto the rooftops, etc. The pinky cost a quarter so every effort was made to retrieve it from roofs or down the sewer hole—no joke.
Silly Putty was probably the tamest of the fads but still a lot of fun. It would bounce, but the best thing was lifting print from comics in the newspaper.
These are just a few of the fads that flew through Canton when I was a youngster and no matter how poor you were your parents still managed to get you one of the toys just like the other kids.

Update: I have sad news. Hambly Screen Prints has closed their doors.
If you would like to see current designs by former Hambly designer Alison Kreft Abad, you might wish to view collections by Webster's Pages and also the EveryDay Eclectic line by Echo Park. Alison has done some fresh, creative, beautiful work for both companies - not quite the same as the Hambly products, but the aesthetic is similar and you might really like the designs.
I am leaving this page up for the sake of anyone who may be interested in trying to locate their products, because for a time you may still be able to find some of them around. For example, I'm still seeing some of the products available on ebay:
Buy Hambly at Ebay:Sometimes Hambly's products pop up for sale on ebay.com. If there are any Hambly Studios products listed for sale on the ebay auction site, they will be shown below. If not, please click here to visit ebay stores (the USA site) or scroll down to see other options if you are not in the USA.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Leaders in Seneca County want to change the way emergency medical services are run. They say as the number of emergency calls goes up, the number of volunteers goes down.
"Trying to run a 24/7 program on an all-volunteer basis is just becoming more and more difficult," explained Fred Zoeller, Seneca County commissioner.
You cannot run ambulances without personnel, and getting trained workers willing to work for free is getting tough in Seneca County.
"Let's face it, since 1978, the level of volunteerism and the level of free time that individuals have, it's not there!" said Zoeller.
Commissioner Zoeller and other county leaders say the way their system is run has not changed since 1978. Since then, the volume of emergency calls has risen. They hope to model a new system after the village of Bascomb, Hopewell and Loudon townships, which were able to bring in 30 volunteers.
"The other districts...We're lucky if we can maintain six," said Zoeller.
Under the new system, there would be multiple joint ambulance districts, keeping emergency crews close to their hometowns.
"They know their area better than having someone 30 miles on the other side of the county trying to find some county road or township road that not everyone knows about," said Zoeller.
Volunteers would also be partially paid, making $3.50 per hour while on-call.
Individual townships will have to vote and agree on a new plan before any changes take effect.

Bowling 3-pack
Design by Skogstad, Homstvedt, Anderssen & Voll
Bowling designed by Skogstad, Homstvedt and Anderssen & Voll, shows impeccable workmanship in a series of wooden bowls. The design pushes the extremes of turning wood as the solid ash wall is forced to a very minimum while leaving a soft gripping rim at the top. Stained in soft colours of pink, white or gray the bowls are waxed and polished creating a deep glowing finish. The visible ash grain gives the bowls a beautiful wooden feel.
Pink (small), White (medium) and Grey (large)

The Sports Pavilion
The Sports Pavilion has established itself as one of the premier multi-purpose facilities in the nation. The former home of Golden Gopher men's hockey, the facility was remodeled and reopened in 1993. It currently serves as the home of the Golden Gopher men's and women's gymnastics team, the volleyball team and the wrestling team.
The Pavilion has been the home of Golden Gopher volleyball since in 1994 with it quickly becoming one of the top collegiate volleyball venues in the country. In the past four seasons, the Gophers have ranked fourth nationally in home match attendance among NCAA Division I schools. Minnesota has ranked among the nation's top five in attendance in each of the past 6 seasons, and have ranked among the top 10 in each of the last 11 seasons. In 2004, the Minnesota volleyball program had its locker room and team facillities refurbished, to upgrade what was already a first rate set of facilities.
The Sports Pavilion also provides a first-class home for Golden Gopher men's and women's gymnastics. The facility offers superior sitelines and because of that, has been the host site of several big events, including several Big Ten Championships.
Not to be outdone, the Sports Pavilion also provides a haven for one of the top wrestling programs in the nation. While the Golden Gophers also host matches in adjacent Williams Arena, Minnesota drew one of the largest crowds in school history in the inaugural year of the Sports Pavilion. In 1993-94, 5,205 fans watched Minnesota upset top-ranked Oklahoma State.

More, on 14 October 2012 - 05:18 PM, said:
in other mmo's sales are individual, but in gw2 they are grouped by value and sold in bulk to the millions of other players worldwide, so why undercut another player? what's the point? what are they gaining from this in the long term?
when they undercut another player's price all they are doing is decreasing the value of this item for the next time they want to sell it, shooting themselves in the foot.
Arena Net even made a button saying "match lowest seller" to try and teach people the new method of trading in gw2, which is different to other games people are used to. why don't they take the hint?
I mean seriously, people are undercutting so much that they are now selling items for less than vendor value (after 15% cut from the sale) EVEN THOUGH arenanet have put the vendor value on the item tooltip, AND state the posting fee on the screen when selling the item, how could they make it any easier for players to understand?
the one and only reason I can imagine is that they are trying to sell the item quickly before other player's, and for less popular items like specific types of armour/weapons i can understand, but common items like crafting materials that people are putting up for 45 copper each, why would anybody want to undercut by 1 copper? do they honestly think if they use the "match lowest seller" button that their item won't be sold?
If you are trying to sell an item that nobody wants, it won't be sold, undercutting somebody else doesn't change this fact, it just devalues the item when people do eventually want to buy it, and thus assuring you will make less money from the eventual sale.
so just stop it, seriously, learn how the trading post works before throwing your money away and crippling other players from earning profit for similar items.
please correct me if I'm wrong, because I want to understand the logic (if any) to the players who keep undercutting. what positive thing does it actually do for anybody?
lol I think people should learn what the ''classes'' in this game are called beforehand...
common gw2 knowledge doesn't exist in gw2.

20 Children Killed in Today's Mass Shooting
Residents from Newtown, Connecticut are reeling today after a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School that claimed 27 lives, including 20 children.
The shooter who was dead on the scene was identified as 20-year-old Adam Lanza. He wore all-black, carried four weapons, and entered the main building at approximately 9:40 am. Among the victims were children and school staff, one of which was the suspect's mother.
Police have recently revealed that the weapons used in the attack were purchased legally and under the suspect's mother's name.
In a White House briefing today, the President was in tears as he spoke.
"Our hearts are broken today," he said. "As a country we've had to endure this too many times, whether it was an elementary school in Newtown, or a shopping mall in Oregon, or a temple in Wisconsin, or a movie theater in Aurora, or a street corner in Chicago. These neighborhoods are our neighborhoods and these children are our children and we're going to have to come together to prevent more tragedies like this regardless of the politics."
This has been noted as the country's second-deadliest school shooting, following the Virginia Tech incident in 2007, which left 32 people dead.
Thoughts and prayers with the victims and families of this horrible tragedy.
