If you have plans to transfer to a four-college or university, you will need to learn how to select the best courses to fit your plan. These suggestions should help you get started.

Identify Your Goal
Which College?Most students at TTC can find transferable courses that will match the general education requirements at most four-year colleges, but you need to know which college you will be transferring to if you are going to make every credit count. Your chosen four-year college will determine which history courses you should take, how much foreign language, which math courses, how many hours of lab science, and a number of other decisions.
Which Major?Even at a single university, the requirements for freshmen and sophomores can be different for different majors. For example, a business major usually takes different math courses than an engineering major; a psychology major takes different social sciences than an accounting major. If you are undecided which major you will pursue, you can usually find a list of general education requirements to pick from, but the choices within that list may be determined by major.
Back to top
Find Out General Education RequirementsUse a catalog from the university you have selected to find out what distribution of hours that college requires. This information is usually under a heading of "General Education requirements," "Core Curriculum," or "Graduation Requirements." This list will not include the courses in your intended major, just the college's requirements in humanities, mathematics, English, social science, lab science, etc.
Then check the section of the catalog that describes requirements for your intended major. There you will probably find more information about which courses are best to take in your first two years. For example, if the general education requirement calls for six hours of social science, the section on the accounting major will tell you that those six hours should be in economics.
Use Articulation ListsIf you are transferring to an in-state college, you will probably be able to find a list of courses that transfer from the technical colleges in South Carolina on the college's website or at www.sctrac.org. Be careful when using transfer lists: just because a course transfers does not mean that it is the appropriate course for you to take. You do not want to transfer and then find out that you have not met any requirements but instead have only elective credit. These lists are to help you find which courses at TTC correspond to courses or other credit categories at the four-year college, not to be used without knowing the general education requirements.
If you are transferring out-of-state, you will need to use a catalog from the four-year college and find out from that school which courses they will accept from TTC. Because TTC is an accredited college, most transfer-level courses will be accepted, but you should make sure.
Look Up Transfer PoliciesEvery college has policies on admissions and transfer of credit that you should learn about as soon as possible. Using a catalog or transfer brochure from the four-year college, you should be able to find the answers to the following questions:
What GPA do you need at Trident?Sometimes the GPA required for transfer to a college is different than the GPA required for admission to a particular program at that college. Sometimes the four-year college will calculate GPA in a different way than Trident does. Find out if the GPA on your Trident transcript is the same as the one the four-year college will be using for admissions. (Some schools average in every attempt at a course; others only average together certain courses.)
What grades do you need for a course to transfer?Most colleges require a C or better to give transfer credit for a course.
How many hours do you need to take before you can be admitted as a transfer student?You can transfer credit to most colleges even if you have only taken one course, but you will have to meet freshman admissions standards. Most colleges will waive some freshman admissions standards if you have earned a minimum number of transferable hours, usually 30. Find out how the number of hours you take at Trident will affect your admissions requirements.
Is there a maximum number of hours that you can transfer?Most college catalogs specify a maximum number of hours that will transfer from a two-year college.

After her daughter, then 23, disappeared 12 years ago, the likely victim of sex traffickers, Susana Trimarco began a search for justice that continues to this day. She has also helped numerous others in the process, becoming a guardian to 129 former sex slaves and helping to make sex trafficking part of Argentina's national agenda.
For her trouble, Susana has had her house set on fire and has twice escaped being run over. But she will not give up. "The desperation of a mother blinds you," she said. "It makes you fearless."
Read more about Trimarco and her organization, Fundación María de los Ángeles, in the New York Times.

Lindsay Lohan was the instigator, aggressor and drink-tosser in the fight at The Standard Hotel Wednesday night ... this according to a witness who was with the other girl involved in the altercation.
The witness tells us ... the incident began after a major misunderstanding between the two sides while they were partying at the Smoke and Mirrors nightclub inside the hotel.
We're told the girl was hanging out at the booth next to Lindsay's ... when Lohan tapped her on the shoulder aggressively and asked, "Did you bump into me?"
The girl denied the bump ... and suggested the real culprit could have been one of the guys in Lindsay's group. She then pointed to one of the men.
Lindsay replied, "That's my dad ... why would he bump me?"
The girl shot back, "You go clubbing with your dad?"
That's when Lindsay snapped ... so says the witness ... who claims Lindsay began cussing at the girl and then threw a drink at her face.
We're told Lindsay's dad realized what was happening ... grabbed his daughter ... and bailed.
Michael Lohan appeared on "TMZ Live" yesterday and adamantly denied his daughter chucked any beverage that night (below) ... claiming it was Lindsay who was the real victim and the recipient of the liquid projectile.
Either way, the other girl is currently weighing her legal options.
Sources close to Lindsay tell us LiLo is adamant -- her dad is telling the true story.
Quit going clubbing, only liars and scammers like to be in clubs any more.
Big surprise there, no? Let me remind you that this is the woman who got pissed off at someone and stole a car in which to chase them down.
9 more days till May. I seem to forget, when is she leaving for Canada to start her comeback?
Milo wants to retract his story on TMZ live..and give a better ending and more lohan intrepetation.
"Me and lindsay was never at the standard..and if a video appears its a fraud.we were at home watching "Home Box Office" and eating Homecooked cookies and milk"
All these Lohans are just pure garbage. Lindsey looks twice her age! Poor ex-actress.
Man, Lindsay could throw a baby out of her car on the freeway and her crazed fans would tell you the baby threw itself out.
we have only listen to part of the story..
Lets not point no fingers,its obvious that lindsay is horribly wrong and a lying POS.who is totaly to blame
The girl didn't say she's weighing her legal options, TMZ said that. If the girl had said it, there would quotes around it.

Radar Assistant Managing Editor
Cops investigating claims that Lindsay Lohan assaulted a woman at The Standard Hotel in West Hollywood want to talk to the wayward actress, but she has no plans to meet with them, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
Lindsay is being investigated for allegedly assaulting Marisa Dugas two weeks ago. The actress vehemently denied being out that night, claiming she was at home watching television when the incident allegedly occurred, even though three people – including the accuser — have now filed police reports.
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan's Mugshot Hall Of Fame
However, detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department have recently received the surveillance video from the hotel on the night in question and it clearly shows Lohan at the club, despite her claims to the contrary.
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan Arrives At Court With Mom Dina
"Law enforcement had been in contact with Lindsay's attorney last week, and they wanted to formally interview her," a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com.
"The lead investigator was told that Lindsay wasn't going to be made available at this time though. She is under no obligation to be interviewed, but Marisa, her friend and the bouncer who witnessed the alleged assault, have all been formally interviewed by cops."
A law enforcement source previously told RadarOnline.com, "Investigators obtained the surveillance video from the Smoke & Mirrors nightclub at The Standard Hotel and it clearly shows that Lindsay was there on the night of the alleged assault.
"The investigation is still ongoing and follow-up interviews will now be conducted as necessary. Of course, investigators want to interview Lindsay about the incident, but she hasn't been interviewed yet, nor is she under any obligation to do so."
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan Does Coachella
When contacted for comment, Lohan's rep initially denied his client was at the hotel and told RadarOnline.com, "Whomever is responsible for this lie will be held accountable for their misguided actions." However, he is now saying, "We're going to wait for the Sheriff's Department to release their findings before we comment any further."
Despite being warned by Judge Stephanie Sautner at her last progress report hearing to stay out of clubs, the actress just can't seem to stay home.
Lohan reportedly went back to the scene of the alleged crime on Wednesday night, and had a drink thrown on her by another woman sitting in a nearby booth after becoming embroiled in a verbal altercation.
The embattled actress is supposed to begin filming the Liz Taylor biopic for Lifetime Television soon, but as RadarOnline.com previously reported, she still hasn't signed the contract yet.
Lindsay's rep had no comment on this story.
all this drama by thursday morning..wonder what thursday night threw the weekend will bring..
just 51/50 her...she has not changed only gotten worse.
Rogue Warrioroid has a life size tattoo of Lindsay's face centered on his ass, precisely positioned so it looks like Lindsay is saying "Oh".
Lohan Inc. Denies that Lindsay was down on all fours doing a doggie rodeo and huffing a crack glass pipe while going up in Smoke at the Smoke and Mirrors, eh? Rodeo Style is a Lindsay Special at night clubs and hotels around town and explains her recent hair loss. Men put $100 into a hat and climb aboard the down facing dog, a$$ high Linds. They grab her head, hair or neck and scream obscenities, or lost roles or other women's names and Lilo tries to buck them off. The objective is to stay on eight seconds after they tell her she is the ugliest, least talented, brokest, dumbest crack ho in the room. Linds with a fresh huff of crack and a shot of vodka breaks out of the imagined gate under a table and snorts, bucks, and tries to get them off in any way possible. They call her Night Train because there is always a line for the $ex and there is no height requirement to ride this attraction. She was an E ticket ride at Disneyland back when they had the old ticket system and she was a troubled star.
She brought her dad back into her life, what a stupid thing to do. Now things are about to go from bad to worse. I think we're gonna see her locked up any day now.
Lindsay said "That's my dad, why would he bump me?" Ha hahahahahaha hahaha hahaha. Oh my god I am laughing so hard I can hardly breathe. hahahahahaha
Dear Lindsay,
1) Stay home.
2) When you get work, have someone drive you to/from your acting jobs.
3) Then remain at home after work.
Going out at night appears to invite nothing but trouble for you, so just let it go for now.

– The Harry Mower Family
Born in 1950, Harry Mower Sr spent his entire life in the Barnegat Bay area. He was a lifelong fisherman and clammer at heart whose love of nature was matched only by his love for his family.
Growing up on Long Beach Island he spent his youth playing and exploring along the bay and ocean. As a young adult he earned a living fishing, clamming and diving in those same waters. Throughout his life he observed the different seasons and cycles of the bay and many changes to the environment. Through those observations he gained a deep understanding of, and respect for nature that he shared with his wife, two children and extended family and friends.
ReClam the Bay is a local, non-profit environmental organization that promotes environmental involvement and education in a constructive and helpful way. Together we grow and maintain millions of baby clams and oysters.
As we grow seed clams and oysters to stock our local bay we teach everyone how important and fragile the shellfish population and our environment really is. We are open to everyone and all are welcome to come lend a hand. Look at our online calendar for event dates that are convenient for you. See you there
Mission Statement
Our mission is to involve and educate the public about the estuary's water quality and the importance of shellfish. We believe that by involving the public in the care, feeding, and life cycles of the shellfish they will better understand what an integral role shellfish have in our lives.
ReClam the Bay uses the hard clam and oyster as living representatives of the bay ecosystem that includes the coastal bay and its watersheds. We educate people about the requirements of shellfish that serve as watchdogs for good water quality. Finally we explain the impact of people on these natural resources and that people must be stewards of the natural resources that we share.

Much has been learned about perinatal loss over the past 20 years
through clinical investigations and quantitative research. However, a
review of studies over the past decade reveals that perinatal loss is
increasingly being seen in the same way as a death of any other member of
the family, rather than as a unique bereavement. A comprehensive
understanding of perinatal loss anchored in a theoretical framework of
pregnancy is lacking. This article offers a multidimensional model for
examining this loss by applying four psychoanalytic interpretations of
pregnancy. 1) From the perspective of pregnancy ushering in the new
developmental phase of parenthood, perinatal loss becomes a developmental
interference, disrupting a significant milestone as well as causing
isolation from peers. 2) In light of the usual recapitulation of earlier
conflicts during pregnancy as noted by drive theory, perinatal loss may
lead to an intensification of intrapsychic conflicts. 3) Understanding
pregnancy as the creation of a specific person in an object relations model
highlights the importance of mourning after perinatal death, as well as the
need to tend to associated unresolved grief from earlier losses. 4)
Finally, a model of narcissism describes how pregnancy reorganizes
self-esteem, thereby delineating the intense narcissistic injury and rage
that often follow perinatal loss. These multiple frameworks help to explain
the many repercussions of this loss as well as to account for individual
differences. Research findings are selectively reviewed to support the
validity of this model. Conversely, this model may productively guide
future avenues for research.

An ode to Women's Health and Fitness
Make it your moral and corporate responsibility to help the women of our country know about Ovarian Cancer and its symptoms in a simple yet effective manner. Rest assured it won't be very difficult or detrimental to your pocket! Unite the citizens against the silent killer using promotional items like custom awareness bracelets or and fortify their knowledge using promotional calendars or women's health pocket sliders. After all forewarned is forearmed, isn't it?
You can also take your concern about women's health further this Wednesday when the nation will welcome the Women's Health and Fitness Day.
Even as umpteen organizations of the country come together to host women's health and fitness activities, am sure you and your brand don't want to be left behind. Just when participants in these events are gearing up for walkathons, exercise demonstrations or health screenings, walk up to them and gift them promotional personal care products like sanitizers, pedometers or stress balls. You don't always need words to say you care and yet your brand strikes a chord.
To view a large variety of promotional products and other healthcare products for your business promotion, please visit our website at www.promodirect.com

Zenmap? Any input would greatly help even for the proposal mock-ups

We don't really have a style or user interface guidelines, apart from
very loosely following the GNOME HIG. (See the zenmapGUI.higwidgets
package.) For the icons there is an established style in the files in

For the first 20 years of the evolution of the internet — from the start of the "internetworking" project in 1973 to the launch of the first major web browser in 1993 – cyberspace (the virtual world behind the screen, as William Gibson put it) and "meatspace" (John Perry Barlow's term for the material world) were, effectively, parallel universes. Cyberspace was the preserve of a privileged elite – the computer scientists, engineers and graduate students who collaboratively designed and had access to it. And the inhabitants of meatspace were, for the most part, blissfully unaware of its existence.

Edward Snowden is one year older than I am. Thanks to the information he released, my SSSS designation has started to make far more sense within the context of the massive surveillance network we inhabit within the United States. Snowden's leaks have revealed a network of contractors who can monitor every aspect of an individual's internet activity and determine who is and who is not a threat. My own activity has brought me into a vast social network that is perceived to be a threat by the NSA and their employees.

Ichinomiya, city, northwestern Aichi ken (prefecture), central Honshu, Japan. The city lies on the Nōbi Plain, about 20 miles (32 km) northwest of Nagoya.
It developed in the 7th century around the principal Shintō shrine of the locality, the Masumida Shrine. During the Edo (Tokugawa) period (1603–1867) it was an important transport centre on the Gifu Highway. Ichinomiya is now part of the Nagoya industrial area, specializing in woolen and cotton textiles for both kimonos and Western-style clothes. Pop. (2005) 371,687; (2010) 378,566.

First person I thought of was Mark Humpage but I don`t think he`s using an OMD.
This link looks more useful Pete.
Hi everyone,
Does anyone have any experience with this problem? My photos aren't being recorded on the memory card. The camera acts like it's taking the photo, in every single respect it does look and sound like the photo is being taken - but there´s nothing on the memory card.
Have I done something wrong? I have successfully taken photos and stored them on this card before, and in this camera. But for some reason it isn't working now.
I'm probably overlooking something, but at the moment I have no idea what.
Suggestions welcome!
I guess you've checked the card in another camera but does the OM-D have a menu setting that allows it to fire the shutter when a card is not inserted or without recording to the card. I remember the Canons had this setting to allow recording to a hard drive (laptop etc) .
I am going to buy a new camera this year.
Last year I purchased a Sony RX100 as a "pocket camera" and I am thrilled with it.
Now I want a camera mainly for taking photos or birds and wildlife, plus landscapes.
My old Canon SX1 IS bridge camera was great for taking photos of elephants, zebra etc in good light Africa (light too strong really), its x20 zoom got acceptable quality pictures, where my professional photographer friend with his EOS and limited length zoom did not get in close enough to get many good shots.
In the UK, the light is often poor, and the SX1 IS does not perform so well half the year. I have considered the Panasonic FZ200 (£430 ish) with its 50-600mm f2.8 throughout, however it has the small sensor and not too good noise performance of pretty well all bridge cameras and I want to move up a gear.
I have pretty well decided that M4/3 with its high quality and possibility of a 600mm (equiv) lenses in a relatively small and light package is the way to go. Unfortunately the 100-300mm (my coveted 600mm equiv) lens that I have seen is f4 - 5.6.
I am looking for good low light performance
So my questions to you knowledgeable people;-
Which is the best Image Stabilisation in M4/3 and how much difference will it make?
DxOMark recons the PEN E-PM2, PEN E-PL5, and OM-D E-M5 are 1,2 & 3 for low light sensor performance, how much difference will it make? APS-C sensors can be better (they are bigger) but the lenses with an effective 600mm reach are huge in wieght size and cost.
Is there anything else that would help?

Even slowish lenses can perform well in low light these days

Quote: Unfortunately the 100-300mm (my coveted 600mm equiv) lens that I have seen is f4 - 5.6.
The MFTs will give good quality images up to ISO 800 or even 1600 (with processing) so that will allow higher-than expected shutter speeds. As for the best image stabilisation I think that is firmly with the Olympus EM-5. All the Olympus and Sony models have IS in the body, the Panasonics have it in the lens and outside the EM-5 it is up to you which you go for.
Two things to note: With the 300mm lens you will probably need a tripod/monopod for most situations at the longest focal length; and the focus tracking used in MFTs is not yet as good as DSLRs, especially in lower light.
Quote: APS-C sensors can be better (they are bigger) but the lenses with an effective 600mm reach are huge in wieght size and cost.
Your calculations are incorrect because you forgot to take into account the crop factor of APS-C bodies: APS-C lens of 400mm has same FOV as 300mm on MFT so this reduces the price differential significantly. An dunless your technique is excellent the cropped image from 600D_70-300 will be very similar to EPL+70-300.
If you cannot afford EM-5, my choice would be between a Canon 600D with 70-300 (non-L) and EPL plus 70-300. For the focussing advantages I would probably go for the 600D (with the 70-300L it is cheaper than the EM-5 body alone). If size really is an issue then the EP will do you very well.
E-M5 with either the Panasonic 100-300mm, or Olympus 75-300mm. I have the Panasonic, and shoot at 300mm most of the time, and almost always handheld. With the E-M5's 5-axis IS you can't go wrong. The E-M5 plus the Panasonic is $1500.00 USD, and with the Olympus lens it's about $300 - $400 more. There are great deals around for the camera body plus a lens, I believe.
There are rumours that the current Olympus 75-300 is going to be discontinued.
Maybe there`s a newer cheaper version on the way.

You forgot that most premium M4/3 lenses cost about half that of the Canon counterparts
I notice the Sigma equ sells for about £2200 in the UK.

Not much to say about tonight's opener. About an hour from now, the first day of school starts. It won't be like any other day of the year and we shouldn't read too much into what happens even if that is difficult since it is the only information we have to go on.
Just remember that there are only two things more pointless than the first month of the NBA season: (1) summer league, and (2) the preseason. Forget everything you think you know. Remember when the Celtics were cooked last year for the first two months of the season only to take the Heat, a team Indiana lost to in six games, to seven in the Eastern Conference Finals.
In short, everything that has "happened" to this point no longer matters. And even the stuff that goes down in the next few games is more prologue than vitally important or season defining.
Danny Granger is injured and that is unfortunate, but perhaps not as devastating as if might at first seem provided that it doesn't linger into December (or longer). George Hill isn't 100 percent either. And Gerald Green will need to figure out how to carve out a role among four starters who played very well together to close last season.
These things do indeed matter.
How efficient Paul George was or how many cool dunks Gerald Green had in the preseason do not.
Other than that, the Pacers begin their loooong journey tonight in Toronto against the Raptors. Enjoy. Basketball is back.

Coconut Cream Frosting
Posted on May 16, 2008
Frosting is one of my favorite foods; in fact, I consider it an actual food group. After all, what is a cupcake without frosting? It's nothing!
Lately I have been stymied when it comes to the frosting creation process. Yes, I have my delicious Vegan Chocolate Frosting recipe, however, I have been lacking in the white frosting department. For me this has presented hardship because chocolate frosting just doesn't work with Carrot Cake and lemon cake. ... read more →

'Community' Season 5 Adds 'Office' Alum B.J. Novak in Mysterious Season Finale Role
You might have heard that 'Community' season 5 will take a minor break for the next few weeks to accommodate those increasingly hilarious Sochi Olympics, but the cult NBC comedy has big plans for its return. 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' villain and 'Office' vet B.J. Novak will join the Greendale Gang for the final installments of the season, but what does his mysterious role reveal about the two-part finale?
There isn't much available on Novak's character, according to Entertainment Weekly, though we at least know Novak will turn up in the first half of the two-part finale as "a TV star in a sexy new series." Might it be the new "Inspector Spacetime" series season 4 attempted to get off the ground, gas leak year or no? And will we know by Novak's April appearance if 'Community' will return for a sixth, and presumably final season?
Of course, Novak is only the latest in a long line of season 5 guest stars, including the already-aired Nathan Fillion, 'Justified"s Walton Goggins, returns from Rob Corddry, Brie Larson, LeVar Burton and John Oliver's Professor Duncan. Still to come are 'Arrested Development' star David Cross' as the onscreen son of Jonathan Banks, 'Arrested' creator Mitch Hurwitz as a popular Greendale student, 'Breaking Bad' creator Vince Gilligan as "a smooth-talking gold digger," Chris Elliott as Greendale's estranged founder, and Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim as associates of Dean Pelton.
NBC's Thursday night headaches have us optimistic for a season 6 renewal, but what do you think? Is Novak's turn a good sign NBC wants to continue drawing attention to the series? Watch the latest 'Community' season 5 highlights below, and give us your thoughts in the comments!

But we're both a long way from home
We got the windows down, the radio's on, always
from Frank Ocean – Acura Integurl Lyrics on Genius
Things change.. people change
They're a long way from home because they're on a car trip with the windows down and the radio on, and it's apparent in the first verse that they like listening to music: it is what brings them closer together.
He's a long way from home, literally and metaphorically, both of them are travelling and everything around them is changing. Frank is aware of this but also realizes that music is the one constant through this change.
This could be talking about Frank's first time in LA: he was in the car with his girlfriend far away from his home in New Orleans.
The line "We got the windows down, the radio's on" is heavily sampled and used as the hook for Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Allderdice track, "The Cruise".

Photographers' Blog
Up to their necks
For most press photographers standing in the rain is an occupational hazard; even so the equipment we use does not operate well when wet. Imagine then the challenges faced by news photographers when torrential rain floods a nations capital city, leaving more than 340,000 people displaced and knocking out transport and communications.
After 24 hours of continual downpour, Reuters Jakarta photographer Beawiharta was shooting pictures of happy children playing in flooded paddy fields. Two days later with the water still rising Chief Photographer Indonesia Enny Nuraheni was literally up to her neck in it, photographing the evacuation of beleaguered residents from lower lying areas of the city.
I was paddling through flood water on a borrowed air mattress which residents usually use to sleep on. Getting access to the areas of deeper water using my temporary raft I was able to shoot the pictures of rescuers putting the boy in a plastic container as they fled, neck deep in flooded streets. We had to continually take care and rely on local knowledge as we couldnt determine what was a flooded river and what was a tunnel which could sweep us under the flood waters.
A week later as the waters receded, with thousands still in cramped emergency shelters and the fear of disease gripping the city, Beawihartas image of buckets of mud in a Jakarta classroom, looks deceptively like a scene from Willy Wonkas chocolate factory and hints at the sheer scale of the task faced by residents before they can return to their homes.
And finally, two succinct black and white images from You Witness contributor Donal Husni show life in Pamalung, Indonesia returning to normal as the floods recede.
…one of my favorites hobbies is to photograf with my digital camera; after I post them in my blog… but, these (in your´s) are amazing

Even after a year – these photos still haunt us

The Library, becoming part of the story
The Library, a unique conceptual resort located at Chaweng Beach, was on our want list for the Murakami Samui from the beginning. That we didn´t managed to work there in our first visit comes as no surprise. The Library consists of only 26 exclusive units, making it hard to be among the chosen few during high season.
Luckily the kind librarians invited us to dine at their beachfront restaurant, giving us some first insight into the concept of The Library. The Page, a culinary heaven on both sides of the plate, vegetarian and carnetarian, is the perfect counterpart to The Library. Excellent fusion food, created by Chef Nokveedz in a unique style with outstanding food presentation, served with signature cocktails of her own recipes. Every now and then, international artists are invited to "My Library", special evenings matching different kinds of arts like opera or painting with a variety of gastronomy from the world class chefs.
At this evening we had the pleasure to talk with Thanyaporn Thirawat about the story behind The Library.
The Library is one of a kind among the art resorts of the world, based on an idea as simple as convincing: To complete one good vacation, what else do you expect, apart from a nice room, delicious meals with good ambience? One good book, memorable movies and music in style - these will help you enjoy and complete one good vacation with your love ones or friends.
Thus The Library is not only a fancy name but a real library, the white heart of this beautiful place. A clever advancement of the tiny bookshelves at many bungalow resorts where left over books wait for new readers.
This fleet-footed basic, that real happiness is not complicated at all, is realized by a surprising stringent concept that covers all and every aspect of the hotel sector. From the classic color scheme of white, grey, black and red to the minimalistic, genuine interior, each little detail is carefully designed. Not grave and brittle as it is executed with a charming and serene attitude. Ants are printed on the sugar bags on the table, the foyer is called content and the do not disturb signs are frivolous fun. Design with a smile.
The suites and studios, both high tech armored masterpieces in interior, are labeled "pages", suggesting that every guest becomes a part of the ongoing book called the Library. Visiting The Library means living its story, a very exciting story.

5-star running back recruit Elijah Hood has de-committed from Notre Dame, he confirmed in a statement on his twitter page Tuesday. The news was first reported by Blue & Gold Illustrated and 247sports.
Hood is regarded as the top prospect for the incoming class of 2014. He has not only been committed to Notre Dame but also very vocal about it since choosing the Irish back in April. Hood has gone as far as to even post video of him flushing recruiting letters from Alabama down the toilet.
Hood is from Charlotte, NC and a desire to be closer to home is a factor in the change for the blue chip prospect.
Home state North Carolina is expected to be back in the mix.
Hood's commitment to any school does not become official until National Signing Day in February.
Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly can't comment on any recruit until after a letter of intent is signed.
In his statement released on twitter Hood said " I am de-committing from the University of Notre Dame. I have a lot of respect for the University of Notre Dame and its coaches. I specifically want to acknowledge Coach Tony Alford, whom I dearly admire and regret to inform of my decision. Over the past couple of months, I have put much thought into the things that are important. What is most important to me is my family -- especially my parents and grandparents. They have personally been with me through all my life's accomplishments. Now as a teenager, I am still learning what it means to become an adult. Making difficult decisions that are important to me is part of this process. This decision has nothing to do with football or academics. This Decision has everything to do about my family."
Hood continued, "I am deeply blessed to have the opportunities given to me. I am also excited to move forward with the next phase of my life and becoming an adult. However, going forward, the importance of family will never waiver in my decisions. I am eternally grateful to my family for their support in this decision."

November 1, 2013
Independent candidates Diantha McKeel and Phillip Seay are battling for the Jack Jouett seat on the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors.
Currently, Dennis Rooker holds that seat on the board.
"I support education, economic development, I support environmentally friendly practices," says McKeel.
McKeel has a long background in education and served on the Albemarle County School Board for four terms. She also acknowledges that strong schools build strong communities.
"I just believe, for our community, having really strong public schools in the city and the county is critical to our economic prosperity," explains McKeel.
Philip Seay has 28 years of public service experience in Virginia's state, county and city governments and believes public safety is important in the county.
"Making sure that our emergency services, police, fire and rescue are adequately staffed, adequately trained, adequately retrained and they have the up to date equipment to protect us and take care of us in the need of man-made and natural emergencies," says Seay.
Seay was against the route 29 bypass project, but believes that if it is built responsibly then it can improve traffic issues in the county.
"Folks are coming in here all the time and we need certain services," says Seay. "The main thing is not to out strip your infrastructure and your resources, both manmade and natural in the name of development."
Mckeel is against the bypass and wants transportation improvements that don't waste tax payer dollars. She is in favor of a better business tax base and says businesses coming into Stonefield will help with that.
"We need the right kind of businesses and certainly Costco is the right type of business because it pays well and offers employees benefits," says McKeel.

The 2014 NFL Draft is loaded at the wide receiver position with six-seven possibly carrying first round grades, including former LSU Tigers Odell Beckham Jr.and Jarvis Landry who I thought carried himself exceptionally well when he met the media today.
Related: Jarvis Landry one of Mike Mayock's favorite players
The quote that stood out to me the most was when Landry said, he feared being average, and I would imagine countless NFL GM's, coaches and talent evaluators loved hearing that from the ultra-competitive receiver.
Jarvis Landry: "I fear being average."
— Dan Kadar (@MockingTheDraft) February 22, 2014
Landry, who led LSU in receptions, yards and touchdowns this season didn't stop there when he expressed his love for football and his desire to help win games in whatever capacity.
Jarvis Landry says he's physical WR like Andre Johnson & would play defense if he had to"Take me in the 7th round, whatever it takes to win"
— Mike Nabors (@MikeNabors) February 22, 2014
Jarvis Landry on hitting people on special teams, "I love it."
— Dan Kadar (@MockingTheDraft) February 22, 2014
Whether it's offense, defense or special teams, Landry just wants to win and with people obsessing over 40 times, hand size and 3-cone drill times, isn't the most important measurable a person's will to win?
Consider Landry a player with a first-round heart.
And for LSU fans who have grown accustomed to watching him the last three years, there may be a chance he continues to play his home football games in Louisiana. When asked what it would mean to play for the New Orleans Saints Landry said, "It would be like home."

Could the USC Trojans be planning a deal to play TCU in the coming years? That's the speculation that flew around with the news that USC athletic director Pat Haden visited the Horn Frogs' campus today (via Scott Wolf of the Los Angeles Daily News)
Texas Christian University athletic director Chris Del Conte tweeted that he spent this morning with USC athletic director Pat Haden and gave him a tour of the school's academic services center.
Hopefully, TCU football coach Gary Patterson was there too. Might be a good nonconference game down road.
The Trojans have home and homes with several top programs coming up in the next few years. The biggest of those is the series with Texas planned for 2017 and 2018. BYU will feature on the schedule in 2019, 2021 and 2022. Also scheduled for 2021 is a match up with Tennessee.
There are holes in the out of conference schedule in 2016 and beyond that need to be filled.
TCU and USC have played five times in the schools' history. The most recent match up was in 1998 when the Horned Frogs beat the Trojans 28-19 in the Sun Bowl. Though USC won the first meeting in 1951, TCU owns the series record with three wins to USC's two.

Mike Cameron
Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:19 pm Cameron has had a rough couple of years, and it remains to be seen if his major league career will continue after hitting a combined .226-13-42 over 399 at-bats during those two seasons.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron is no longer relevant for fantasy owners.
Source: Fantasy Source
Mon Dec 19, 2011 5:39 pm Nationals signed OF Mike Cameron to a minor league contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: The deal also includes a spring training invite. Jim Duquette of MLB Network Radio hears that he'll earn $1 million if he makes the Opening Day roster, while the contract includes $750,000 in performance-based incentives. Cameron, 38, batted .203/.285/.359 with nine home runs and 27 RBI over 269 plate appearances this past year between the Red Sox and Marlins. He's better off as a fourth outfielder and right-handed bat off the bench at his advanced age, but his role for 2012 will likely hinge upon whether the Nationals think Bryce Harper is ready for the big leagues.
Mon Dec 19, 2011 3:28 pm According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the Nationals have reached a deal with outfielder Mike Cameron.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron was said to be engaging in "serious talks" with the Indians over the weekend, but the Nationals apparently swooped in with a better offer. Bill Ladson of MLB.com reports that it's a minor league deal. Cameron, 38, batted .203/.285/.359 with nine home runs and 27 RBI over 269 plate appearances this past year between Boston and Miami. He'll likely function as a backup outfielder if he makes the Opening Day roster.
Source: Ken Rosenthal on Twitter
Sun Dec 18, 2011 1:53 pm Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Indians are in "serious talks" with free agent outfielder Mike Cameron.
Fantasy Source Spin: Terry Pluto of Cleveland Plain-Dealer and Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reported earlier that the Tribe had interest in the veteran outfielder, and it sounds like something could get done soon. Cameron, who turns 39 in January, batted just .203/.285/.359 with nine homers and 27 RBI over 269 plate appearances this past season, but he would fit the Indians' need for a right-handed hitting outfielder.
Source: Ken Rosenthal on Twitter
Wed Dec 14, 2011 2:58 pm Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Nationals are targeting free agent Mike Cameron for their bench.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron, who turns 39 in January, batted just .203/.285/.359 with nine homers and 27 RBI over 269 plate appearances this past season. While he was released by the Marlins in September after his involvement in a verbal altercation with a flight attendant on a team charter flight, the veteran outfielder has a solid reputation as a teammate. The Nationals are also looking at Willie Harris, Mark DeRosa and Greg Dobbs for their bench.
Source: Ken Rosenthal on Twitter
Fri Nov 4, 2011 8:38 am Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that Mike Cameron intends to continue his playing career in 2012.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron is coming off a terrible season where he batted just .203 over 237 at-bats for the Red Sox and Marlins. His year ended abruptly when he was let go by Florida reportedly after getting involved in a verbal altercation with a flight attendant on a team charter flight. But, the 38-year-old is generally viewed as a great teammate and wouldn't be a bad bench player for someone.
Source: FOXSports.com
Wed Sep 14, 2011 1:46 pm According to the Miami Herald, Mike Cameron was released by the Marlins following a verbal altercation with a flight attendant on the team's charter flight.
Fantasy Source Spin: The altercation did not turn physical, but the charter company filed a complaint. While the Marlins' front office believed they could not keep Cameron following the incident, he obviously didn't figure in their long-term plans. The 38-year-old outfielder batted .203/.285/.359 with nine homers and 27 RBI over 269 plate appearances between Florida and Boston this season.
Source: Miami Herald
Tue Sep 13, 2011 10:33 pm FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi reports that Mike Cameron was released because the Marlins wanted to play their younger outfielders and Cameron preferred to spend more time with his kids.
Fantasy Source Spin: That makes sense. Eyebrows were raised when the Marlins revealed that he was released due to "conduct detrimental to the team," but it sounds as if they parted ways mutually. Cameron is reportedly mulling retirement.
Source: Jon Morosi on Twitter
Tue Sep 13, 2011 6:10 pm The Marlins released Mike Cameron because of "conduct detrimental to the team."
Fantasy Source Spin: The exact nature of the incident is not yet known, but this comes as a surprise given his positive reputation around the league. Cameron, 38, batted .239/.333/.423 with six home runs and 18 RBI over 163 plate appearances during his brief time with the Marlins.
Source: Juan C. Rodriguez on Twitter
Tue Sep 13, 2011 7:46 am Marlins released OF Mike Cameron.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron battled hamstring, wrist and knee injuries during his tenure with the Fish, and hit just .239/.333/.423 in 163 total plate appearances. The 38-year-old veteran outfielder might simply decide to hang up his cleats for good.
Tue Sep 13, 2011 4:10 am Mike Cameron returned to action on Monday, striking out in pinch-hitting duty.
Fantasy Source Spin: Before a hamstring injury sidelined him last week, Cameron was putting together a nice finish to a miserable season. Before his brief appearance on Monday, he had hit safely in 16 of 20 games, raising his batting average 33 points to .203.
Sat Sep 10, 2011 6:44 pm Mike Cameron is considering retiring after this season.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron has struggled with injuries and poor offensive results throughout his 2011 campaign. The 38-year-year-old outfielder has been in the majors since 1995.
Source: MLB Trade Rumors
Sat Sep 10, 2011 10:46 am Mike Cameron (hamstring) is not sure when he'll be ready to return to the lineup.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron has been out since Tuesday with a tight right hamstring. The Marlins are calling him day-to-day, though it sounds like it might be a while longer before he's ready to play.
Source: Miami Herald
Wed Sep 7, 2011 12:21 am Mike Cameron left Tuesday's game against the Mets in the 11th inning with a tight right hamstring.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron, who tied the game with a two-run double in the bottom of the ninth, apparently suffered the injury after reaching on a walk in the 11th inning. Bryan Petersen moved over to replace him in center field to begin the 12th while Vinny Rottino entered the game to play right. Cameron is considered day-to-day.
Source: Joe Capozzi on Twitter
Sat Sep 3, 2011 11:40 pm Mike Cameron homered twice in Saturday's 8-4 victory over the Phillies.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron went deep in the second inning off Phillies lefty Cole Hamels, then homered again in the eighth. He has nine dingers and 23 total RBI in 74 games this year.
Mon Aug 15, 2011 2:42 am Mike Cameron returned to action on Sunday, finishing 1-for-4 in the Marlins' 5-2 setback to the Giants.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron had been dealing with a sore right knee. His OPS is over 200 points higher in Florida than it was in Boston, but that's more a testament to his incredibly poor numbers in Boston. He now owns a .177/.266/.314 batting line on the season.
Fri Aug 12, 2011 5:20 pm Updating a previous item, Mike Cameron was scratched from Friday's lineup due to a sore right knee.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron expects to be ready to go Saturday, so consider him day-to-day. Bryan Peterson will make the start in center field Friday against the Giants.
Source: Joe Frisaro on Twitter
Fri Aug 12, 2011 3:02 pm Mike Cameron has been scratched from the Marlins' Friday evening lineup.
Fantasy Source Spin: Bryan Petersen will start in his place. The Marlins have yet to provide an explanation for the lineup change, but it's a good bet Cameron's sprained left hand is still giving him fits. Cameron is batting just .208/.330/.377 since arriving in South Florida on July 5.
Source: Joe Capozzi on Twitter
Sun Aug 7, 2011 3:32 am Mike Cameron drew a walk as a pinch hitter Saturday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron left Friday's game with a sprained left hand, but the fact that he was available to pinch hit the next day is a good sign. He should be fine.
Fri Aug 5, 2011 9:41 pm Updating a previous item, Mike Cameron was diagnosed with a sprained left hand.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron suffered the injury while attempting to make a diving catch. We should learn more about his status following the game.
Source: Clark Spencer on Twitter
Fri Aug 5, 2011 9:00 pm Mike Cameron left Florida's Friday evening game against the Cardinals in the sixth inning with a wrist injury.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron rolled over on his wrist in the outfield, but he stayed in the game for several innings before departing. Although he's unlikely to be in the lineup on Saturday, it's doubtful the injury is all that serious if he was able to play through it. His status should be updated later this evening.
Wed Jul 27, 2011 11:21 pm Mike Cameron went 2-for-5 with a pair of homers and three RBI in Wednesday's 7-5 win against the Nationals.
Fantasy Source Spin: It was easily his best game as a Marlin. Cameron is still batting just .163/.248/.319 through 135 at-bats this season, but he's shown small signs of life by posting consecutive multi-hit games this week. He's ownable in NL-only leagues due to the amount of playing time he receives in Florida, but you shouldn't expect him to duplicate tonight's performance.
Mon Jul 11, 2011 5:42 am According to Phil Rogers at the Chicago Tribune, Mike Cameron is expected to receive a lot of playing time, as the Marlins aim to lessen their younger outfielders' workloads.
Fantasy Source Spin: That should be good news for opposing pitchers. Cameron carries a forgettable .144/.222/.279 batting line into the All-Star break.
Source: Miami Herald
Sun Jul 10, 2011 4:03 pm Making his third start for the Marlins on Sunday, Mike Cameron hit a two-run homer in a 5-4 win over the Astros.
Fantasy Source Spin: He is now 1-for-10 in a Marlins uniform. Batting just .144 on the season, you should keep your expectations very low if you've picked him up in your NL-only league.
Thu Jul 7, 2011 2:20 pm Mike Cameron will start in center field and bat sixth for the Marlins on Thursday night against the Astros.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron fouled out in a pinch-hit appearance on Wednesday night, but this will be his first start. He figures to get the majority of the playing time in center field moving forward, at least until Chris Coghlan makes his way back to the major leagues. Go ahead and pick him up in NL-only formats.
Source: Joe Capozzi on Twitter
Tue Jul 5, 2011 6:48 pm According to Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the Marlins will be responsible for less than $200,000 of Mike Cameron's $7.25 million salary for this season.
Fantasy Source Spin: In other words, the Marlins have very little to lose here. Cameron figures to play regularly in center field in the short-term, with Emilio Bonifacio moving to third base. The 38-year-old is likely a stop-gap until Chris Coghlan (knee) proves worthy of returning to the majors, but he's worthy of a pickup in NL-only leagues.
Source: Juan C. Rodriguez on Twitter
Tue Jul 5, 2011 6:17 pm Marlins acquired OF Mike Cameron and cash considerations from the Red Sox for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
Fantasy Source Spin: Cameron was designated for assignment by the Red Sox last week. Money aside, it's a solid addition for the Marlins, who have a lousy .233/.295/.365 batting line and .660 OPS out of center field this season. Of course, Cameron also carries the reputation as a strong defender. The 38-year-old was hitting just .149/.212/. 266 with three homers and nine RBI over 105 plate appearances with the Red Sox this season, but he's immediately worth consideration in NL-only formats.
Fri Jul 1, 2011 12:27 pm Bill Ladson of MLB.com reports that the Nationals do not have interest in Mike Cameron, who was recently designated for assignment by the Red Sox.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Nats have been seeking help in center field all season, but evidently they don't feel that Cameron is the answer to their problems. Cameron hit just .149/.212/. 266 with three homers and nine RBI over 105 plate appearances with the Red Sox this season but should be able to find work after he clears waivers.

BRASILIA--Brazil's government Tuesday altered rules on the repatriation of overseas profits in order to boost companies' competitiveness and reduce court tax disputes, officials from the finance ministry said.
The officials said that under a new executive decree, company profits abroad will be taxed on an accrual basis, with payment allowed over a six-year period.
For companies that choose to repatriate profits, tax bills on the IRPJ income tax and the CSLL tax on net profits will be charged with a minimum payment of 25% in the first year, and the remainder over a five-year period.
The rule will be put into effect optionally in 2014, and become mandatory in 2015.
"This new system is appropriate for the flow of profit repatriation to Brazil," Brazil's Deputy Finance Minister Dyogo de Oliveira said following the announcement of the measure.
Mr. Oliveira said he didn't believe the new system would increase the tax burden for local companies.
Under the country's current tax rules, companies must pay taxes on overseas profits in the year following the receipt of the earnings.
With the new rules, the government hopes to encourage more companies to bring their tax bills up to date and avoid lengthy court disputes.
Brazil's tax authority, for example, claims Brazilian mining company Vale owes BRL30.5 billion in unpaid taxes, fines and interest related to foreign profits, a dispute that Vale has been challenging in Brazilian courts for years and that has weighed on the company's share price.
Vale Chief Executive Murilo Ferreira in a conference call with journalists last week said that the company expects to decide this month whether to adhere to a tax-amnesty program that would reduce some of the burden.
"We need to see the content of the new legislation that will enter in vigor starting in 2014," he said. "It's not an easy decision."
HSBC said in a note this week that, based on Vale's share price, the market is pricing in an impact of $9 billion to $10 billion in eventual tax liabilities, "which we view as a worst-case scenario."
Brazil's finance ministry has estimated outstanding tax liabilities from all Brazilian companies operating abroad at between 70 billion and 100 billion Brazilian reais ($30 billion-$43 billion).
Brazilian tax department chief Carlos Alberto Barreto said Tuesday the government expects to receive between BRL7 billion and BRL12 billion in back taxes due from companies this year through the government's Refis tax-amnesty program.

Well, Kenny Williams is the same guy who traded Carlos Lee for Scott Podsednik, so I guess anything's possible.
Well, Kenny Williams is the same guy who traded Carlos Lee for Scott Podsednik, so I guess anything's possible.
I think we can attribute his decline in production last season to his injury problems (the percentage of Andruw's fly balls that left the park dropped from 26% in 06 to 15% in 07, something to be expected from a guy with a bum shoulder). I expect that Andruw will be back to 100% by spring training and have a rebound year.
from InsidetheDodgers:
Ned confirmed just a few minutes ago that the Jones deal is done pending a physical, which will probably be on Tuesday. He explained how this had gained steam from Monday when they arrived and was finalized last night, right before the news broke by the LA writers who were on site here. I was in our suite when it all went down and it's fair to say that there was quite a buzz of excitement about all of this.
Some key points from his talk with the media:
He said that this doesn't necessarily mean we'll have to move an outfielder and he likes the depth it creates in the outfield. He also said it allows us to be more focused in our quest for pitching.
He also said this makes him a little bit more comfortable about the in-house options at third base. If something comes up that is a really great option, we would do it, but pitching is the greater priority.
He praised all of our staff in getting this done and the McCourts for being willing to make a move of this nature.
He was asked about Don Mattingly's effect on Jones and he said he has been very impressed with Don and the fact that he came down here from Evansville and has fit in immediately with everyone at the team. He's looking forward to seeing him work with our players, especially the young guys.
Ned reached out to Juan Pierre last night to talk about how this affects him, but wasn't able to reach him. And when asked if he regrets signing Pierre, he said he absolutely does not. He can't re-write history, but he implored everyone to look back at the circumstances that we were in when we signed him (only one outfielder with more than a month of experience in the Majors - Ethier). He pointed out that Juan did exactly what we expected him to do and that he has never said that Juan was a franchise player. He's a very good player on a winning team and the reason we didn't win last year was not Juan Pierre's fault.
He continued to say that as a team, we're not of a mind to give up three or four players for one star pitcher or player. He reiterated that we're not going to do something just to do it, but that we've zeroed in on two or three pitchers and will see if anything can happen. Obviously Kuroda remains a viable option.
from SI:
As another slow day at the winter meetings came to a close -- one signing, one trade -- the Los Angeles Dodgers made their best move in a very long time. Showing an appreciation of sunk costs and the value of short-term deals, the Dodgers signed center fielder Andruw Jones to a two-year, $36.2 million contract. The deal looks outlandish for its annual salary of $18 million, but the overall commitment makes it one of the great bargains in recent memory.
The signing was a surprise on many levels. For one, the Dodgers have made some terrible decisions over the past two years since Ned Colletti was named general manager. Colletti threw away more than $100 million last winter on free agents who combined to block better players and push the Dodgers away from contention. He's also shown a willingness to deal away the team's young talent for little return, and if trades of Joel Guzman, Edwin Jackson, and Dioner Navarro haven't quite burned them, the returns for those players have done nothing to help the Dodgers win, either.
Consider also that the Dodgers have an expensive albatross in Juan Pierre, the good-guy, bad-player combination to whom they owe $36 million over the next four seasons. Pierre was already an inadequate center fielder, and he'll be even worse, relative to par, in left field, where he may block a better player in Andre Ethier. That's a problem for another day; Jones is a three- to five-win upgrade on Pierre in each of the next two seasons. Consider that Jones' WARP (Wins Above Replacement Player) in 2007, the worst year of his career, was 4.6. Pierre's WARP in 2006 and 2007 combined was 4.3. Jones' career-low EqA of .251 was within shouting distance of Pierre's career EqA of .256. He's simply a much, much better player than Pierre is, and we haven't compared their arms yet.
Jones had some difficulty getting traction in a market loaded with center fielders. He's coming off the worst season of his life, a .222/.311/.413 nightmare, and taking criticism for defense that is actually still above average, just not at the level he played when he was younger. When you look a bit more closely at Jones' season, though, you find that many of his indicators were stable. His walk and strikeout rates were slightly worse, but within the bounds of fluctuation. In total, 2007 was a typical Andruw Jones season less 15 homers, five singles, and some intentional walks. His fly-ball rate was unchanged, it's just that the balls didn't go as far. Given Jones' age and the stability of so many elements to his performance, I'm certain that he's going to bounce back to his established level, which in a neutral park would look like .265/.330/.500, with plus defense in center. He's the player people suddenly think Torii Hunter is. [Ed. note: Nate Silver adds that a PECOTA for Jones as a Dodger yields up .258/.345/.488 with 29 home runs and a 28.5 VORP. Tasty.]
I'm stunned by the length of the deal. Scott Boras was quoted as saying he didn't want Jones to have to play on a one-year deal, given that he'd just come off that type of season. A two-year deal, however, seems like the worst of both worlds: you're not getting the maximum aggregate amount of money, nor are you hitting the market as quickly as possible, as young as possible, after bouncing back. There's enough difference between ages 32 and 33 that I would think Boras would have wanted to have Jones be a free agent again next year. To his credit, Boras appears to have taken more into account than just dollars. Let's see who notices.
One year or two, this is a fantastic deal for the Dodgers, who get back-end-of-peak years from a Hall of Fame player without committing to his decline phase. Jones will bounce back in 2008, and he'll be a seven-win player over the two years of the deal. That's an enormous addition for a team that has been shooting itself in the foot for two long. What it means for Ethier or Matt Kemp is something that can be hashed out, but again, the player in the way isn't Jones, it's Pierre, who was a bad signing at the time, and remains so today. The Dodgers have an opportunity to show just how well they understand sunk costs by relegating Pierre to a fourth outfielder's role, to which he'd be reasonably suited. It would also give us a chance to test the whole "character" framework, to see if the fourth-best outfielder on the roster is able to accept that he, in fact, is that, and sublimate his desire to play more for the good of the team. That's leadership, right?
I love this contract. It will be far and away the smartest thing any team does this winter, and it pushes the Dodgers up a little bit closer to the Diamondbacks in the 2008 NL West race.
Can't we just buy Pierre out?
