This course examines Russia as a cultural, national and historical entity part of and yet apart from both Europe and Asia. Russia is a continental power of vast proportions with rich traditions, character, and national myths. The course is designed as an introduction to Russian civilization and combines chronological and thematic approaches. Accompanied by a brief survey of Russian history, the course will examine certain determinants of Russian culture, including Christianity, multinationalism, and the status of Russian civilization on the periphery of Europe. The course will then deal with the art, music and popular literature of Russia, and conclude by examining certain contemporary issues, including the complex coexistence of Russian and "Soviet" culture.

Stock Futures Fall Following G20 Meeting
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S futures signaled that stocks would follow European equities lower Monday after countries of the G20 held back on providing more financial firepower to the eurozone.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down 50 points, or 54 points below fair value, at 12,911. Futures for the S&P 500 were down 6.9 points, or 7.6 points below fair value, at 1356. Futures for the Nasdaq were down 11.3 points, or 13.7 points below fair value, at 2591.
Stocks were headed for losses after a low-volume rally last week that saw the S&P 500 gain 0.3% and the Dow fail to close above 13,000. In the period through Feb. 21, trading of S&P 500 component shares has fallen 20% compared to that in the same period last year, according to Deutsche Bank.
Buying momentum has been weak with the S&P 500 up 8.6% year-to-date. "This February's gain is the best since 1998, and the best year-to-date rise since 1991," noted Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist with S&P Capital IQ.The Group of 20 countries rebuffed calls to boost the eurozone's resources. In a weekend meeting, the G20 said Europe must ramp up money to fight the debt crisis before leading economies will provide more funds to the International Monetary Fund. The G20 is moving to create $2 trillion in resources -- with $1 trillion from Europe's temporary and permanent bailout funds and as much as $500 billion for the IMF from countries like Japan and China, adding to the current $385 billion in funds. The effort to increase the region's firepower would be the G20's greatest since the countries put $1 trillion into Europe three years ago to fight the recession. This comes as Greece is on track to receive its second bailout from European creditors and amid ongoing concern for core economies like Italy and Spain. This afternoon, Germany's parliament is expected to pass a parliamentary vote on Greece's aid package. Germany's DAX was down 1.2% while London's FTSE was falling 1% on Monday. Japan's Nikkei Average settled down 0.14% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed off 0.9%. U.S. economic data are light on Monday. Pending home sales from the National Association of Realtors will kick off the week's calendar at 10 a.m. EST. Sales are expected to have risen 1% in January, according to Thomson Reuters, following a 3.5% drop in December. Investors are also expecting a smattering of manufacturing reports from regional Federal Reserve branches, kicking off with the Dallas Fed Manufacturing Survey at 10:30 a.m.

Of my hundreds of happiness-project resolutions, and of the habits I've tried to form, one of my very favorites is to read more. Read More
One of my big conclusions: if you want to change a habit, you should start by understanding yourself. Read More
Because I'm focused on clutter-busting, I'm now very wary of anything that's free. Read More
For some reason, I lay awake last night thinking about toys. Do you have any toys or "comfort objects" from childhood that are still important to you? Read More
Do you find that deprivation makes you feel justified in indulging or breaking a good habit? Read More
Many people have the habit of constantly running late — and they drive themselves, and other people, crazy.
Read More
One thing that took me a long time to realize, in the study of habits: the danger of finish lines.
Read More
The fresh start, the do-over, or the new year is a crucial time, because it offers tremendous opportunity for forming new habits - but it can also pose great risk to existing habits that we want to maintain. Read More
Keeping track of my stuff. Not being able to find something is a minor challenge to happiness, of course—but it's one of those minor things that can make me crazy. Read More
For years, I've been writing my "Secrets of Adulthood," which are the principles I've managed to grasp as I've become an adult. Read More
I want to provide examples of the Rubin Tendencies from well-known movies, TV shows, and literature, or from memoirs, autobiographies, or biographies. Read More
What exactly counts as a "treat?" A treat is different from a reward, which must be justified or earned. A treat is a small pleasure or indulgence that we give to ourselves just because we want it. Read More
I knew from experience that setting my alarm to 6 A.M. when I was used to 8 P.M. wasn't going to work in the long run, so I instead committed to pushing the time back for just 15 minutes once a week to give my brain a better chance of adapting. Read More
Okay I must stop, or I'll end up quoting dozens of passages. Read More
It's hard, however, to know ourselves. And it's hard to know the aspects of our nature that are relevant to how we might form habits. Read More
But how could I form a single habit to cover a bunch of non-recurring, highly diverse tasks? Read More
It was my interest in happiness that led me to the subject of habits, and of course, the study of habits is really the study of happiness. Read More
When I talk to people about their happiness challenges, they often point to hurdles related to a habit they want to make or break. Read More
But what's the client thinking? Probably…nothing. Read More
Your response to expectations may sound slightly obscure, but it turns out to be very, very important. Read More
Of all of them, perhaps my favorite strategy to study is the Strategy of Loophole-Spotting — because the loopholes are so funny. Read More
Cross and Parker argue that energy is a key factor in understanding who is effective at work, and why. When they analyzed networks of co-workers, knowing whether someone was considered an "energizer" and a "de-energizer" shed a great deal of light on how networks worked, and how productive various people managed to be. Read More
We need many kinds of relationships; for one thing, we need friends. Read More
I knew from experience that setting my alarm to 6 am when I was used to 8 am wasn't going to work in the long run, so I instead committed to pushing the time back for just 15 minutes once a week to give my brain a better chance of adapting. Read More
I love finding—or inventing—ways to categorize people. I agree with philosopher Isaiah Berlin, who observed, "Every classification throws light on something." Read More
Questioners: do you have trouble giving yourself a treat if you feel that it isn't "necessary" or "justified"? In other words, do you feel like there has to be a sound reason to give yourself a treat? Read More
It's a highly effective strategy, particularly for people who are attracted to potato-chip news. I'm not attracted to potato-chip news, myself, so it took me a while to understand this challenge. Read More
I was quite pleased by the number of people who wrote to ask where the list had gone, so I've decided to re-post it. Read More
Most people have suffered from loneliness at some point. Have you found any good strategies for making yourself less lonely? What worked—or didn't work? Read More

Recent home furniture patterns are different as compared to those of just a couple in the past. Modern furniture these days uses a broad array regarding unconventional supplies just like vinyl, tubular aluminum alloys, cane and also jute. Not simply the actual design components, but also their designs, have undergone a seashore alter. Modern furniture features greater unconventional patterns when compared with their own predecessors : your sharp direct search is eliminated; curves along with abstract lines will be in.
Home furniture throughout residences these days is considered any manifestation in the owners' identities. Every family desires an exceptional design involving furnishings, and so they never head the charge.

- Title
- Speechwriter
- Bio
- Ted Frier is an author and former political reporter turned speechwriter who at one time served as communications director for the Massachusetts Republican Party, helping Bill Weld become the first Bay State Republican in a generation to be elected Governor. He was Chief Speechwriter for Republican Governor Paul Cellucci and Lt. Governor Jane Swift. Ted is also the author of the hardly-read 1992 history "Time for a Change: The Return of the Republican Party in Massachusetts." So, why the current hostility to the Republican Party and what passes for conservatism today? The Republican Party was once a national governing party that looked out for the interests of the nation as a whole. Now it is the wholly-owned subsidiary of self interest. Conservatism once sought national unity to promote social peace and harmony. Now conservatism has devolved into a right wing mutation that uses divide and conquer tactics to promote the solidarity of certain social sub-groups united against the larger society while preserving the privileges of a few.

GOP: America's "Ruling Class?"

Susan Collins No Independent Moderate
I have always thought that Maine Senator Susan Collins reputation as a moderate voice of bi-partisan reasonableness was vastly overblown.

Conservatives Now Favor Spreading the Wealth
When Hostess swirled its last cupcake and packed its last cream-filled Twinkie, conservatives like George F. Will were quick to scold striking workers for not swallowing a 50% wage cut and surrendering to the reality that "market forces will have their way."
And when Bain Capital bought and then out… Read full post »

Angry Republicans Shout Out Rebel Yell

Republicans Want to Take Us Back, Not Forward

Dear Readers,
Speculation...Entertaining productions washes his hands and wants by all means to return the audience the show. Desperate move from drowning.
If this is true then good luck to her. Leaving an established show for such a show is odd. Whatever!
I want Prats to came out in public and said herself what her plans are, please stop speculations about her..
This total article is so much confusing ! everywhere "?" marks . if media doesn know the xact news what was the need to publish such article ? Or...It was Balika Vadhu's PH's order that publish such articles which convinces the audience that Pratyusha left by her own ? The PH already understood very well that viewrs could not & will never be able to accept Toral as Anandi . They did every possible try to glorify Toral by making big big newses from small facts . but that try also failed miserably so now they are with their new trick Spoil Pratyusha's image . spread rumors like Pratyusha doing films or another show so that ppl get convinced that Pratyusha left the show by her own eyeing on other projects . She is valuing other offers more than BV & all bla bla !! Horrible !!!
Edited on:13 March 2013 at 2:52am
If you guys are not sure then why you published this news? Stupid media..1st be sure then publish news..don't spread baseless rumor..
we really miss u...u r just awesome and u r our Anandi, no one can replace u in our hearts..i stopped seein the show..Toral is complete misfit for the role..Channel can air 5 days only if the lead has no time bt shouldnt replace them..Colors will realize their mistake once they see fallen ratings...
Toral is a misfit as anandi and we have lost interest in the show, instead of seeking quantity time from Pratyusha, the PH should have been happy with the quality time and results she gave! Now i prefer watching Modern Family on Star world, same time, at least no tension of if she will confess, what will happen... the only thing I miss is the magic of Sid-Prats which like all good things on earth had to end
No offence to anyone, I love Prats BUT BUT do you guys really believe producers will kick someone out just like that..i mean she was the LEAD of the show..
No one accepts replacement leads these days and producers know that very well..y would they bring their show down without reason.
so I really dont believe we have the right to blame anyone...Neither has Prats come out clean, she herself said it that it was a mutual decision...
So how abt everyone stop blaming anyone.. I agree everyone is upset that she left, including me.. i stopped watching the show after she left becoz i dont find Toral fit for the role..but oh well.. i m not gonna sit here and blame anyone..its their choice and decision which they have all agreed
All this I feel like a personal attack on me and my sense of life and justice. Simply said, nothing does match into the picture of events spread by producers. So Prats know that we are with you! We will support you always!
Please come back for us..

The Children of Sodom and Gomorrah: How Europe's Discarded Computers Are Poisoning Africa's Kids
People in the West throw away millions of old computers every year. Hundreds of thousands of them end up in Africa, where children try to eke out a living by selling the scrap. But the toxic elements in the waste are slowly poisoning them.
According to the Bible, God rained down fire and brimstone to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. "Sodom and Gomorrah" is also what officials in Accra, Ghana, have come to call a part of their city plagued by toxins of a sort the residents of the Biblical cities couldn't even have imagined. No one sets foot in this place unless they absolutely have to.
Acrid, black smoke drifts over the huts of the slum. The river, too, is black and thick like used oil, as it carries empty computer cases toward the ocean. Fires are blazing on the bank across the way, fueled by foam and slivers of plastic. Their flames consume the plastic material from cables, plugs and motherboards, leaving behind only metal.
There's a wind today, blowing the smoke from these infernal fires low across the ground. Breathing in too deeply is painful to the lungs, and the people tending the fires are sometimes nothing more than vague, foggy silhouettes.
One small, stooped figure makes his way between the fires. With one hand, the boy drags an old speaker through the ashes and dirt, pulling it along behind him on a cord. His other hand clutches a bag.
The speaker and the bag are all that belong to this boy, who bears the unusual first name of Bismarck, aside from the T-shirt and pants he's wearing. Fourteen-years-old but small for his age, Bismarck scours the ground for anything the older boys might have left behind after burning a batch of computers. It might be bits of copper cable, the motor from a hard drive, or leftover pieces of aluminum. The magnets in his speaker also pick up screws or steel plugs.
Bismarck drops everything he finds into his bag. Once the bag is half full, he can sell the metal and buy some rice, maybe a tomato too, or even a chicken drumstick grilled over a refurbished car wheel rim. But today, the boy says, he still hasn't found enough, and he disappears again into the smoke.
The Refuse of the Internet Age
This area next to Sodom and Gomorrah is the final destination for old computers and other discarded electronics from around the world. There are many places like this, not just in Ghana, but also in countries like Nigeria, Vietnam, India, China and the Philippines. Bismarck is just one of perhaps a hundred children here, and one of thousands around the world.
These children live amid the refuse of the Internet age, and many of them may die of it. They pull apart the computers, breaking the screens with rocks, then throw the internal electronics onto the fires. Computers contain large amounts of heavy metals, and as the plastic burns, the children also breathe in highly carcinogenic fumes. The computers of the rich are poisoning the children of the poor.
The United Nations estimates that up to 50 million tons of electronic waste are thrown away globally each year. It costs about 3.50 ($5.30) to properly dispose of an old CRT monitor in Germany. But it costs only 1.50 to stick it on a container ship to Ghana.
An international treaty, the Basel Convention, came into effect in 1989. The treaty is sound in its concept, forbidding developed countries from carrying out unauthorized dumping of computer waste in less developed countries. A total of 172 countries have signed the convention, but three of them never ratified it: Haiti, Afghanistan, and the United States. According to estimates by the US Environmental Protection Agency, around 40 million computers are discarded each year in the US alone.
European Union directives with acronyms like WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) followed the Basel Convention, and individual countries have signed them into law. Germany's waste disposal laws are among the world's strictest, and shipping computer waste to Ghana can lead to a prison sentence. In theory.

College Football Picks Week 1: B/R's Expert Predictions for the Top 5 Games
After a wild offseason that included major lawsuits, big time transfers and suspensions, college football fans sure are ready for some real football.
Week 1 surely will not disappoint.
Will Ohio State State struggle against Navy without star quarterback Braxton Miller, or will his replacement, redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett, step in and carry the Buckeyes to glory?
Who will emerge as the true signal caller for Alabama when the Tide battle West Virginia, Jake Coker or Blake Sims? Dana Holgorsen will aim to play spoiler in the Georgia Dome, but his Mountaineers will have their hands full trying to shut down the Tide's talented backfield.
Georgia will play host to Clemson, hoping to get revenge for losing in Week 1 a season ago. Both teams will be ushering in new quarterbacks, so this showdown is sure to be an exciting one.
Defending national champions Florida State look to hold off a hungry Oklahoma State team aiming to prove itself on the national stage.
And the fifth marquee game of Week 1 pits LSU vs. Wisconsin in what should be a prime example of how to run the football.
Each week of the 2014 season, Bleacher Report's college football experts Adam Kramer, Michael Felder, Barrett Sallee, Mark Blaudschun and Ben Kercheval will be making their predictions on the top five games of the week. These five have a strong background in college football and bring great knowledge and insight to readers.

Josh Shaw Investigation: Updates, Details on Injured USC CB
Suspended USC football star Josh Shaw has been coy about the events that led to him jumping out of a second-story balcony, leading to two sprained ankles. The latest update isn't going to make the backlash go away anytime soon.
According to Gary Holland and Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times, Shaw and his girlfriend are being investigated to determine whether they "were involved in a domestic-violence incident."
Capt. John McMahon, head of Central Division patrol, said Friday that Shaw, citing his attorney's advice, has refused to be interviewed about the case.
"We would have like to hear from Mr. Shaw to provide some clarity about the situation, but that is not going to happen," said McMahon. "In light of that, our investigation into a possible domestic dispute will continue."
Donald Etra, Shaw's attorney, is quoted in the report as saying that his client talked "to the LAPD twice. We believe that is enough. The matter is over and there is no need to talk to them further. ... Enough is enough."
McMahon also said that Shaw's girlfriend has spoken to the police and "'did not indicate she was a victim of domestic violence."
Police officer Sara Faden describes in the piece that cops went to a third-floor apartment in downtown Los Angeles on August 23 "after receiving a report of a woman screaming" and officers had to break open the door after no one answered the initial knocks but didn't find anyone inside.
Faden did say that the officers saw "the window had been pried open," and that witnesses said they saw "a man with dreadlocks climbing from the third-floor balcony of the apartment. The woman who resides in the unit then arrived on the scene."
This story comes out days after Shaw was suspended indefinitely from the USC football team after admitting that he lied to the school about the way he suffered the injury.
The original story Shaw told, via Kyle Bonagura of ESPN.com, was that he jumped off a second-story balcony and into a pool to save his nephew from drowning. That tale of heroism garnered national attention, including on social media and morning talk shows.
However, according to Meghan Keneally of ABCNews.com, Shaw's story first started to come apart shortly after his tale of heroism gained steam because "a man named Josh Shaw matching the football player's description was listed in a police report stemming from a disturbance call."
Shaw's future on the field has never looked less clear, but right now that's the least of his concerns. He's gone from being viewed like a hero and role model to an outcast and pariah in the span of a few days because of this huge lie he concocted.
It's important to note that this is just an investigation at this point. No one has been charged with anything, nor has anyone been arrested.

Darian Roseboro to Michigan: Wolverines Land 4-Star DE Prospect
Given the importance of pass-rushing in today's football world, the news of 4-star defensive end Darian Roseboro committing to Michigan has huge ramifications for the 2015 recruiting class.
247Sports' Steve Lorenz first broke the news about Roseboro's decision:
As Wolverine247 predicted and many believed, Michigan has secured the commitment of four-star defensive end Darian Roseboro, beating out home-state N.C. State and North Carolina among others for his pledge.
Roseboro, the nation's No. 7 strong-side defensive end recruit and No. 109 prospect overall based on 247Sports' composite ratings, has turned into a pass-rushing monster at Lincolnton High School in North Carolina over the last three years.
According to 247Sports, Roseboro had more than 30 offers from top programs across the country and was seriously considering six in early August. On that list was Alabama, Clemson, Michigan, North Carolina State, North Carolina and Tennessee.
He said on Twitter, via Pack Pride, that those were his final six schools and the decision would come at the end of August:
As a freshman, Roseboro was already a beast with 107 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and seven sacks. Those are scary numbers for a quality high school senior, let alone a player in his first season at that level.
Yet when you look at the constant evolution for Roseboro, it's easy to see why power schools like Alabama, Michigan and Clemson were all after him. His performance continued to improve with 107 tackles, 30 tackles for loss and eight sacks in 2012 to go along with four forced fumbles. He followed that up by posting 125 tackles, 21 tackles for loss and 11 sacks as a junior.
Every school across the country needs help rushing the quarterback. Since defensive backs are all but forbidden from touching wide receivers, having a player who can get in the backfield is paramount to success on defense.
Roseboro brings a ferocious, attacking style and insane athleticism at 6'4", 285 pounds with a 4.64 40-yard time to the next level. The scary thing is, he will only get better with more seasoning and higher-level coaching.

LSU Professor Asks Students to Clean Up Les Miles Quotes for Homework
Some coaches may talk a lot but never provide much useful information. One LSU professor has decided that students can learn how to be clear and concise by translating Tigers coach Les Miles' quotes.
For homework, the instructor asked the students to read through some of Miles' statements and clean them up a bit. The students were asked to translate "coach talk" to concise—and grammatically correct—sentences.
Hopefully the professor will hand over the papers to Miles and let him read through them so he can learn how to get to the point quickly in the future.

UCF Unveils Irish-Themed Helmets for Season Opener in Ireland
Central Florida is doing its best to win over fans in Ireland for its season opener against Penn State.
The Knights and the Nittany Lions will square off in the 2014 Croke Park Classic in Dublin this weekend, and to get in the spirit of the game, UCF has made a slight tweak to its helmet. To commemorate the special game, two Irish clovers and a pot of gold have been added to the Knights' helmets.
Playing in Ireland is a unique situation for both teams, and this was a cool way for UCF to pay tribute to the country.

Backed by talent all over the roster, the Alabama Crimson Tide once again will be challenging for a national title in 2014.
After winning three of four BCS titles, the Tide saw their run come to a heartwrenching end last season. But while the rest of college football fans bask in the end of a dynasty, head coach Nick Saban and Co. seem poised to begin Act 2.
These are the top 10 players who should prove the most beneficial to Alabama in its pursuit for championship No. 16.
Each player was given a ranking based on several factors. Among the factors used were each player's career stats, experience on the team and awards/recognitions earned.
Eastern Illinois LB Takes a Cheap Shot at Minnesota Player, Gets Ejected
Things didn't go so well Eastern Illinois through the first three quarters of its season opener against Minnesota, but the opening play of the fourth quarter had to be the worst moment of the night for the Panthers.
The Golden Gophers were leading 21-0 entering the fourth quarter and driving for another score. After Minnesota picked up a first down and moved closer to the goal line on the first play of the quarter, Panthers linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill decided to give Golden Gophers offensive lineman Zac Epping a shot below the belt.
Not only did the cameras pick it up, but the referees did as well. Grugier-Hill was flagged for a personal foul and ejected from the game.
Minnesota won the game, 42-20.

Quarterback Shuffle the Main Reason for Vanderbilt's Blowout Loss to Temple
The Derek Mason era at Vanderbilt couldn't have gotten off to a worse start, as the team kicked off the 2014 season with a blowout loss to Temple.
Temple won just two games last season, and this win marks the program's first over an SEC school since 1938.
The 90-plus minute weather delay forced the game to a 9:50 p.m. kickoff, but that is no excuse for the 30-point loss. Mason looked confused in his first game at the helm, and his inexperienced players followed suit.
Clay Travis of Fox Sports commented on this being one of the worst head coaching debuts ever:
The five worst college football coaching debuts of all time. Starring Derek Mason: http://t.co/5WfZXOWdLA
— Clay Travis (@ClayTravisBGID) August 29, 2014
What Mason and the Commodores have to do to make this embarrassing loss a distant memory is the question now.
The Commodores have to turn the page quickly and understand that this non-conference loss can be quickly forgotten if the team pulls off an upset against No. 18 Ole Miss next week. It may seem like it would take a miracle for the Commodores to avoid another blowout to a much better team, but crazier things have happened.
One upset somewhere along the way can still lead to a bowl berth with this favorable schedule. But the quarterback situation will have to be figured out quickly to keep this from snowballing into a season that the program became accustomed to prior to James Franklin.
The fact that Mason pulled Patton Robinette in the first half appeared to be a knee-jerk reaction, and that was where the wheels began to fall off.
Mason's offense was never able to settle in after seeing three different quarterbacks lining up under center during the course of the game.
It's very puzzling that Mason pulled Robinette so quickly after displaying that he didn't want his starting quarterback to look over his shoulder, per David Climer of The Tennessean.
Stephen Rivers saw the most action but never looked comfortable. He finished 12-of-25 for 186 yards and two turnovers.
Johnny McCrary also got into the game for a short stint. He threw three passes, and two of those were interceptions. McCrary was quickly pulled after those blunders, and it led to more confusion for the offense.
Mason has to make his choice for a starter and ride them out for a while, through both the high points and the low points. By changing quarterbacks so many times, he showed his inexperience as a head coach.
The running game also was abandoned too early. Panic seemed to set in before halftime even arrived, which could be another sign of inexperience as a head coach.
All of this negativity can change in a hurry if a couple wins are strung together, but Mason has to stick stick with one quarterback to give this offense a chance.

Identifying the sellers is the easy part of this summer's marketplace — Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cleveland and the Cubs have spent big money on bad records and appear to be ready to recoup at least a little before the July 31 nonwaiver trading deadline.
Where — and if — players from those teams will land is a lot more difficult, with new front-office decision makers around baseball like Diamondbacks general manager Josh Byrnes. Detroit owner Mike Ilitch was never shy about adding to the Detroit Red Wings when they were in contention, and Dodgers GM Ned Colletti was brought up in the Brian Sabean culture of adding parts at the deadline.
Not to mention stealth movers Kenny Williams (White Sox) and John Scheurholz, who already addressed Atlanta's biggest need by acquiring closer Bob Wickman.
Alfonso Soriano leads the list of players certain to be moved, since his contract expires at the end of the season and Nationals GM Jim Bowden wants to retool with younger, less expensive players after getting two, Austin Kearns and Felipe Lopez, in his first-strike deal with Cincinnati last week.
But even quality run producers Soriano and the Phillies' Bobby Abreu may not carry the clout they once did, as more and more clubs attempt to build from within, the best way to contain costs.
"I'm not inclined to trade away players who I believe can have a strong impact on this franchise in 2007, 2008 and 2009 for a player who isn't going to make a significant difference for us over those last two months and isn't going to be of value to us next year,'' said Colletti, whose Dodgers were at Chase Field last week.
"So far, I can't say there is one player out there that I feel is a significant upgrade versus the cost of whatever prospects would be going (in return).''
Abreu has been linked to all the contenders needing an outfield bat and he may be available at top dollar, but the Phillies would much rather move Pat Burrell. Burrell is to make $13 million in 2007 and $14 million in 2008 (and has led the major leagues in called third strikes in 2005 and the first half of 2006, according to Elias Sports Bureau).
Mike Bell, Rheal Cormier, David Dellucci, Cory Lidle, Mike Lieberthal and Arthur Rhodes are in the final years of their contracts and thus available, although the Phillies would keep and start Dellucci if Abreu or Burrell go away.
It appears that even Philadelphia closer Tom Gordon, signed through 2008, could be pried away for the right pieces to add to Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Brett Myers and Cole Hamels moving forward.
Baltimore's Miguel Tejada, with two years remaining in a $72 million deal, seems less likely to go than Javier Lopez, who wants a trade and is in the last year of his contract, and Rodrigo Lopez, who the Orioles say has received interest from nine teams. (Count the D-Backs out.)
The Orioles and Phillies have had discussions involving Abreu, Burrell and Javy Lopez, and some Orioles officials like Abreu so much they would not mind the salary hit — $15 million in 2007, $16 million option with a $2 million buyout in 2008 — to pair him with countryman and friend Melvin Mora.
But the Phillies would need more than Javy Lopez, and Abreu also has a full no-trade provision that he seems most likely to waive to go to New York, where he is coveted by George Steinbrenner.
The Cubs would move Juan Pierre, Phil Nevin, Scott Williamson, Todd Walker and Jacque Jones and might listen to offers for productive catcher Michael Barrett, while Williams' White Sox still appear willing to trade Freddy Garcia or Javier Vazquez, perhaps for help in center field while opening up a spot in the rotation for Brandon McCarthy.
After losing two of three to Detroit last week, the White Sox could find themselves contending more with the Yankees and Boston for the AL wild-card.
The Tigers, with impetus from Ilitch, entered the Soriano market last week but the Nationals are asking for one of Detroit's 100-mph right-handers, Justin Verlander or Joel Zumaya.
If that seems a steep price for a two-month rental, the Nationals also have asked Seattle for outfielder Adam Jones, the Angels for second baseman Howie Kendrick and the Yankees for right-hander Philip Hughes. Colletti's Dodgers, who have a farm system almost as deep as the DBacks', and the Angels also are in the mix.
Leave it to White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen to put the Tigers' dilemma in perspective.
"God bless them,'' Guillen said of the Tigers. "If you make a trade to get your team better, that's what you're supposed to do. But to get Soriano, that means Zumaya or Verlander's not going to be there.
"I'd rather see Soriano at the plate than see Zumaya or Verlander on the mound. How many at-bats is Soriano going to get? Four? Zumaya can get six people out.''
"I remember Kirk Gibson knocking the (heck) out of me at second base. The next day, I threw right at his face. It wasn't bad blood. That's the way people should be playing. You talk about Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Don Baylor . . . that was a man's game. This now, this is a bunch of little weasels' game . . . Come on. Just play the game hard."
— White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, waxing about the mellowing of major league baseball
One (dozen) for the team
St. Louis right-hander Jason Marquis gave up 12 runs on 14 hits in five innings against Atlanta on Tuesday, the second time in six starts he has been forced to stay in a one-sided game because of an overworked bullpen. He gave up 13 runs on 14 hits against the White Sox on June 21; his ERA has gone from 4.55 to 5.97 since. According to the Elias , Marquis is the first pitcher to give up 12 runs twice in one year since Chubby Dean of the Philadelphia Athletics in 1940.
Scoring in bunches
When Atlanta beat St. Louis 14-5 on Tuesday, it became the first team since the 1930 New York Yankees to score at least 10 runs in five consecutive games, and the first team in franchise history to do that since the 1897 Boston Beaneaters. Atlanta scored 65 runs in those five games after the break, sweeping San Diego before taking two of three from the Cardinals. Looking ahead Minnesota gets a chance to continue its forward momentum with three games each at the White Sox and Detroit.

UBS AG (UBSN)'s Kaushik Amin, who led fixed income, currencies and commodities for the Americas, was among at least four executives to leave the bank's operations in the region, said two people familiar with the matter.
Amin was joined by Jim Lanzilotti, head of local markets emerging markets trading for the Americas, and Matias Santa- Cruz, an executive director of Latin American equity capital markets, said the people, who declined to be identified because the moves aren't public. David Cannon, a FICC managing director, also left the bank, the people said.
UBS, Switzerland's biggest lender, has been buffeted by departures at the investment bank and a $2.3 billion loss last year from unauthorized trading. The Zurich-based firm has said it will shrink the fixed-income trading business, which will be less profitable under stricter capital rules.
The bank appointed Eric Rosen and Matthew Zola to co-head its FICC Americas business, replacing Amin, earlier this year, and the pair have added other employees, one person said. UBS hired Mac Budd as a managing director in rates trading and Dale Rodberg as a managing director in fixed-income distribution, both from MF Global Holdings Ltd. (MFGLQ:US), the person said. The company has added as many a seven executive directors in fixed income Americas this year, the person said.
Christiaan Brakman, a spokesman for UBS in New York, said he couldn't comment on the personnel changes, as did Amin, Santa-Cruz and Lanzilotti. Attempts to reach Cannon through his UBS phone and e-mail address were unsuccessful and a home phone couldn't immediately be found.

Check out the new video courtesy of A.V. Club by going here.
"Don't Make Me Go" is a track from their latest album, Home which was produced by Bill Stevenson of Decendents fame at the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, CO. "I wanted to do a hitch hiking themed video for the record, and this song seemed to fit the best," says front man Ryan Young. Home is 30 minutes of non-stop gut wrenching honesty that combines Ryan Young's candid lyrics with the band's full-throttle music that gives Off With Their Heads' sound a raw surly edge.

Column: Shutting down Strasburg is curious plan
But they'd also like to win a World Series before another 88 years passes. And despite Rizzo claiming they have only 10 percent of the information he has, they have yet to be told just how a limit of between 160-170 innings on Strasburg this year guarantees anything for the future of the pitcher or the franchise.
It doesn't, of course. There are no guarantees with the arms of power pitchers, whether they can go into their 40s still throwing heat like Nolan Ryan or Roger Clemens, or flame out early like Prior did with the Cubs. Generally speaking, the more innings a pitcher throws the more chance is he could be injured, but there's wide debate over what constitutes normal use versus overuse.
Indeed, the Cardinals own Adam Wainwright - who at 31 is eight years older than Strasburg - underwent Tommy John surgery last year like Strasburg and has pitched similar innings this season. But with St. Louis battling for a playoff spot, there are no plans to shut him down.
"We're going to go full steam ahead with Adam until he feels anything not normal," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said before Sunday's game. "He has had a great stretch here, except his last start, he's been as good as anybody. As long as he is feeling good we're going to keep going."
The Nationals are taking the opposite approach. Though Strasburg hasn't thrown more than six innings in 22 of his 27 starts and has only 156 1-3 innings on the year, he won't be around for the postseason.
That was the plan going into the season, and Rizzo isn't about to change it now, even with the surprising success of the team. It's based at least partly on how the team has handled other pitchers, including Jordan Zimmermann, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2009 and is now second to Strasburg in ERA among Washington's starters.
It's worked, but that doesn't mean other plans wouldn't work, too. Again, the motives might be admirable, but it's unfathomable that some other tactics were used to make sure the best pitcher on the best team Washington has ever had would be available to pitch in the playoffs.
The subject of the shutdown is one Strasburg has tried to avoid all season, claiming he had no knowledge of the team's plans. He was still trying after Sunday's game, though the secret was out.
"I just don't have anything to say," Strasburg said. "I'm in with these guys. We still have a long way to go. I'm going to fight with them to the end"
Unfortunately for both Washington fans and Strasburg, he'll have to do his fighting from a seat in the dugout.

Have bold text on hover without affecting fluid widthsLeave a Comment
So there you have it, your lovely new navigation bar. The trouble is, you want the text to be bold on hover, but you also need your elements to be fluid with. This creates the problem of the buttons changing width when hovered on, because of the change in font weight.
The way around this is to simulate our font weight with text shadow instead. Text shadow declarations do not affect the box model, so your elements won't change in size when hovered on.

My first reaction, to be totally honest, was "ick". Next to the other names, it sort of fits and that kind of saves it. But I think you could do better, with an existing rare or even made-up name.

Police bust brothel for the elderlyComment on this story
Tokyo - A Japanese woman has been arrested for allegedly running brothels for the elderly which included female staff in their 70s, police and a broadcaster said on Tuesday.
Risako Yokota, 53, was arrested last week for allegedly violating an anti-prostitution law in Tokyo, a police spokesman said.
Broadcaster NTV said 10 women aged in their 40s to 70s were working in one of Yokota's brothels, whose main clientele were men and women drawing a pension.
Yokota reportedly made about 50 million yen ($530 000) over two years, the broadcaster said.
More than 20 percent of Japan's population is aged 65 or over, one of the world's highest proportions of elderly people.
Dutch twins Louise and Martine Fokkens made headlines around the world last year when they were revealed as Amsterdam's oldest working twin prostitutes, aged 70. - AFP
