So with the arrival of February comes the arrival, or "un-hibernation" of Smokey. I was just getting comfy, curled up in my crochet loogy-blanket that my grandma made me, dreaming about what else? Bullpens, of course. So this first post of the year is to bring you up to speed on my drafting advice for the upcoming year as it relates to the closers/holds and guys who will help you do everything but start the games. I will be here every week, to update you on the chicanery that is the MLB bullpen picture. So sit back, relax, and just think, it's only four more weeks of me talking about bullpens and closers…Can you feel the excitement? If you hate me now, you will probably wanna hold my hand by week 20 and maybe go see Jared by September 1st. Here's my thoughts on draft strategies for saves in the upcoming year of 2015…
Please, blog, may I have some more?Mark Melancon
We now get to the ugly step-sister of rankings and the waiver darling position that we all chase. The relief pitcher is by far the most debated position on who to draft, where, and when. For the most part, I agree with you (with whatever you think), but the guys you want…if you get them where they are being drafted, usually beat or exceed value. Injuries suck and do happen, you just can't prevent them. You just have to be in a position of favor and hope that you land his replacement. Sucktitude, i.e see Joe Nathan last year, is just a roster burden and usually drags you down all season because he isn't someone you can just drop, but he makes it awfully hard to roster. It's a catch-22, to stat or not to stat. Last year saw an unforgivable 10 closer changes in the first six weeks. That is not something you can pad your roster with enough save-cuffs for. So let's get to the first set of rankings of the year. I will get into draft strategies for them, and as always, cover holds in the countdown to the season.
Note: Don't forget to come visit me on the new Razzball Fantasy Soccer home everyday of the week. If you're not familiar with the format, NBD, relax, you got us. Ralph and I are giving you the best Fantasy Premier League coverage out there. If you haven't tried fantasy EPL, you're missing out…
Please, blog, may I have some more?Man do I hate the end of the year. People chasing saves are all into it, while the ones that are dead in the water couldn't care less. And let's be honest, they were prolly dead in the water all year when it came to saves. The end of the year chase is starting to show casualties, like the fall from grace of Glen Perkins. Glen is the kinda guy that I like, home-grown guy, pitching in his home state, took a nice friendly contract from the team. He can totally date-my-sister type. Unfortunately, he is staggering to the finish with an unimpressive last few weeks. I personally feel bad, because I own Perkins in a lot of places. I have so many teams, that I actually counted and the only closer I don't own is David Robertson. Yes, every other single closer on this list is owned in some way shape or form by yours truly. So back to Perkins… his ERA and his K/9 rate have seemed to morph into some sort of Jeff Goldblum fly concoction of fantasy uselessness. Overwork and or an injury are the only things I can think that are the problem. He is/was a semi-elite guy until the wheels fell off. So if you're still chasing, Jared Burton and Casey Fien look to be the guys lost likely to take the helm until Perkins rights the ship…which will prolly be next year. Only two weeks to go and we will get one Bullpen Report and one more Closer Report to end the year. The last will be a souped up version with lot's of 2015 treats and stuff. So stay tuned or don't. Your choice.
Please, blog, may I have some more?This late in the year, Big Head Bochy minus his monsters goes and has to be all "I am changing it back to the way it used to be when all was being drafted and confidence in February Grey was at an all-time high." So the news that Santiago Casilla will now be in a co-starring role this late in the season just sucks for all parties involved. Sergio Romo gets back into the fray as the closer situation is all muddled now in the city by the bay. Whoa, whoa, whoa-o. Even Steve Perry hates this idea. Don't believe me? Go ask him, as he seems like he's over Sheila and prolly all good in the wits department. Now I can see if Casilla was pitching awfully, which he wasn't… well not completely, but come on Bruce. You can't do this and actually sleep at night knowing you torture fantasy line-ups the way you do, and I for one am writing a letter. No, an email, screw that a petition! You hear that Bruce? A petition… so get yourself ready, I may even sue you. Smokey smash. So if you saw the writing on the wall from this, you already had Romo stashed. Let's see what the jumbled up rankings look like with the injuries, demotions, and the rigmarole that is involved in the Saves of Thrones.
Please, blog, may I have some more?For some strange reason, I have the great Willie Nelson song in my head… On The Road again. Why, you ask? Because I am out perusing the great country of ours and doing fantasy football's 32x32x32 with Nick. I may be thinking football, but my heart is in San Francisco… rather bullpens. So it was all quiet on the savedom front til recently, when some usual save stalwarts stubbed some toes. While some repeat offenders… yeah you Joe Nathan just continue to lull us into a state of perpetual eye-rolling… all of these issues are no bueno for the push to make playoffs in some formats, or those pining for the stat push in point leagues. I am personally not too worried about the married guys, they are there for good reasons; they do it all year and you have them for saves or to save not. I am more throwing my ire towards those middle guys, the Steve Cishek's and Rafael Soriano types who have given us decency all year and then have recently given us both ERA's over 7 a piece the last 2 weeks. So buyer beware at this point for stat purposes with these guys they aren't going to be replaced but the production is on the level of a doozer on light duty. Stick around for some tid-bits of knowledge or stay to just say high. [Jay's Note: Oh… I get it.]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It's way too quiet in here… I need a sniper to take out a closer or something. Maybe a team of trained Labrador assassins [Jay's Note: Everyone knows that Labradoodle assassins are better.], no one would expect that. The "Seeing Eyes of Terror" would be their name. Speaking of which, I want to concentrate this week on the under-ratedness of Huston Street. The trade that helps him, the new ballpark that allows his team to actually score runs, and the ability to be that close to Mike Trout. So we are going to venture back through time and space, steal some plutonium from some Libyans, and go back to stats for 2012 to the present day. Confused? Good, me too. So, since 2012, Huston St. is top-10 in saves (86), tops in save % with only 4 BS in 3 years, at a 95.3% clip. And he also has had a resurgence in K Rate to push it over 9 K/9, but for a better perspective, he K's batters at a 26.5% rate. Hold on, I'm not done yet. He is also one of only four RP with a K rate of over 9 and a walk rate under 2.1. Add all that up, and I love Street for this year, and next year well he will probably be over-drafted based on this post alone. Catch you all on the flip-flip, meaning comments.
Psyche! Before you go further, you should take me on in our Fantasy Football RCL's for chances at some really neato prizes! (Or commish one for a chance at a Best Buy gift card!)
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well, I guess enough was enough in Detroit. It's always nice to waltz around with a security blanket like Linus, and have the ability to add a closer to back-up a closer that is making 10 mil a year. Joakim Soria walks into the room dressed like Lloyd Christmas and is all tops and tails. Great starting pitching and an actual winning team that he can back up. For the Rangers this year, he had 17 saves for a 40 win club. Turn that around, and he went from being on a 21-games-under-.500-team to a 14-games-over one. His only problem is that he is flirting at the Sadie Hawkins dance with the date that Brad Ausmus brought, and Nathan has a some pull there. My take is it's not going to be long before the settle in on "The Mexicutioner". So I have them ranked mid-table until the dust settles and we see what's what. I mean, all Soria has to do is show some kind of consistency, and boom, you have a top-8 closer for the rest of the year. You can think what you want, but Detroit is a 90 win team all day and a bag of chips tomorrow, however that expression goes… In Texas, Neal Cotts and Neftali Feliz as of now look like the two heads of the class for minimal save value in Arlington. So the closer-thon to cure save depravity has begun, adjust your rosters, operaters are standing buy to take your recent waiver wire donations.
Please, blog, may I have some more?In school they teach, or try to teach, in most of our cases for the ADHD crowd, the essentials of a good curriculum. Reading, Writing and arithmetic. We can apply that to the closer situation in Arizona. Addison Reed is the closer, but for how much longer?, is the key conundrum. He see's the writing on the wall, but he also has the backing of his manager throughout the season (and again on Tuesday), and has since blown 2 more saves. Though the way the D-Backs are going, would it be optimal for them to ground an asset, or a "sort of asset" now, and then try and go a different direction later via trade? Cuz let's be honest, they aren't going anywhere, and have capable arms in the majors and minors to jump in if necessary. Now the math part, well that is why we do fantasy baseball, it's all about the numbers. Which, in Addison's case, really sounds like a totally hot chicks name, prolly drives a Jeep Wrangler, wears her dad's old jeans as cut-offs, basically a goer if you catch my drift. [Jay's Note: I really don't.] Where was I and why am I all sweaty? Oh…numbers. Reed's K's are up and walks are down from his career numbers… but but but Smokey, those are good things. Right? Well, technically yes, but when luck runs out you go to Zig-Zags, and by that, I mean Brad Ziegler, (the next guy up in the event of a change). Yes, even with the escape-goat win on Wednesday. I mean, Addison has done really nothing wrong besides blow 5 games, and sometimes looks about as hittable as Rihanna. So sit on Addison, but cushion the blow with B-Rad, and for dynasty lookers, take a look at Jake Barrett. Let's see what other geniuses of truth happened in the last week or two.
Please, blog, may I have some more?It's just sad when you watch what should be a fluid situation turn out to be a fiery car wreck. That's what the bullpen situation with the Angels is like. Just awful to think about, watch and….yikes, to even be immersed in their roster purgatory is just dreadful. Their bullpen is like the Swamp of Sadness in The NeverEnding Story. Atreyu (Mike Scoiscia) leads his horse, Artax (Ernesto Frieri) there, and the horse gets swallowed up with despair (your roster). The only bad thing is that Fred Savage isn't in the Angels pen. Instead, we are stuck with Joe Smith, Ernesto Frieri and the schloo of underachieving or unproven arms that they have to offer. I for one would like them to just settle on a guy, who cares if he fails 5 out of 10 times. I was just informed that this is exactly what has happened already. In all seriousness, roster Joe Smith, bench Ernesto. Monitor everyone else, but don't hold out hope that a luck dragon is going to come swoop in and save the situation, or your team if you got pot committed to the situation there. Stick around for some random tidbits of mental masturbation…
Please, blog, may I have some more?I swear that box score turning blue to alert people there's something historic going on is the mother of all jinxes. Not to mention, all the people talking about the perfect game. Member when that was a jinx? Since we're currently living in the Age of Opinion (which is not the Scorsese movie, though if it gets the green-light, Gary Oldman could play the lead), everyone talks about the perfect game while it's going on. Whether it's Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Twitbook, PinkedIn. In my day, we never mentioned a perfect game on Friendster! And on my General Gist band page on Myspace? Nary a whisper! Well, Jake Arrieta still pitched outstanding yesterday — 7 IP, 2 ER, 3 baserunners, 9 Ks, ERA at 2.05 — even if the bid for a perfect game came up short. Like Altuve short. Like Kershaw looks at Arrieta's perfect game bid and giggles. Still, this is about where Arrieta's been and where he can go. What I said the other day still remains true — his swings and misses are going up, his control is getting better and he's using his cutter more — a pitch he can dominant with. I'd still look at him in every league. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Society of Explorers and Adventurers
this wiki
The Society of Explorers and Adventurers or S.E.A. is an organization in various attractions at the Disney theme parks, primarily in Tokyo DisneySea where the story originated and Hong Kong Disneyland's Mystic Point area. Consisting of scientists, explorers, researchers, travelers and adventurers from around the globe, S.E.A. is dedicated to the continued exploration of the world's oceans and exotic lands. Prominent members of the group in the late 1800s include Harrison Hightower III and Lord Henry Mystic.
Tower of Terror (Tokyo DisneySea)
Harrison Hightower III was a member of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers that often operated in corrupt and illegal methods in collecting artifacts. This would become his downfall when in 1899, his discovery of Shiriki Utundu in a remote African village, would lead to his demise and the closure of his home at Hotel Hightower. By openly disbelieving and scoffing at any notion of the idol's power, he angered the trickster god and disappeared on New Year's Eve that year. The hotel was re-opened to tours in 1912 by the New York Preservation Society, though Hightower's restless spirit still remains in the hotel, tormented by Shiriki Utundu.
Mystic Manor
Set at Henry Mystic's outpost in Mystic Point in 1909, Lord Henry Mystic established a home and meeting place for the Society in a remote rainforest in 1880 and opened parts of his home to the public as an art museum in 1896. Henry Mystic's pet monkey Albert ends up getting into trouble when he opens a recently acquired Balinese Music Box with the magical ability to bring inanimate objects to life.

Our lives take strange turns. Who knew I'd be juggling a home life far busier than the corporate one I left behind? Or that I'd be worried about book research and review blogs instead of balance sheets and sales figures? The tiniest leap of faith can put us on paths we never imagined, which is what I've always felt true romance is all about. Putting trust in that special someone. Being willing to risk everything for them.
That's why I like to read and write romance. To remind myself, and others, I suppose, that the uncertainty of a new relationship can lead to great things, even if we don't welcome such a change at first.
I remember that night twenty years ago when I first saw the man who is now my husband and life partner. He was gorgeous and funny and a little broken (I'm a sucker for that), but he didn't really fit in my "plan." He offered to buy me a cup of coffee at this up-and-coming joint in town called Starbucks. I have no idea where I'd be today if I'd walked away instead of accepting.
One tiny decision. One small concession. A leap of faith that changed everything. That cup of coffee—one cream, no sugar—was the first step to a happy, fulfilling future. It's scary to think I almost left it behind.
In Bending the Iron, my character Michael has a similar decision to make. It's the decision every hero or heroine must make: the new and unknown or the safe and familiar? Is now truly the right time to change direction and take a different path? Lucky for Michael, the man of his dreams is a good negotiator, both in and out of the bedroom. (I'm also a sucker for happy endings, in case you were wondering.)
In a life full of crossroads, how do we know whether to follow that special someone? We don't. Twenty years ago, I took a chance. That's what romance is all about.
Share a thought about this post or Bending the Iron. I will choose one commenter from today to receive a free copy and will announce the winner here on Thursday morning. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the book!
Bending the Iron
Michael feels trapped. In his conservative, poor hometown where he has to keep his sexuality hidden. In his dead-end job. In caring for his alcoholic grandfather. Everything changes when he meets Eric, the new curator for the railroad museum. His curiosity about the passionate man quickly gives way to an intense attraction—one that Eric happily returns.
Carefree and refreshingly confident, Eric guides Michael to places he's forgotten, reminding him that it may not be too late to follow his dreams for something more in life. But the truth is, Eric knows exactly how it feels to be stuck in a bad situation. A failed relationship has left him with personal demons that may hurt his connection with Michael.
To give their future a chance, they both must fight being trapped in the past.

Get AccessAbstract
Equilibrium theory occupies an important position in chemistry and it is traditionally based on thermodynamics. A novel mathematical approach to chemical equilibrium theory for gaseous systems at constant temperature and pressure is developed. Six theorems are presented logically which illustrate the power of mathematics to explain chemical observations and these are combined logically to create a coherent system. This mathematical treatment provides more insight into chemical equilibrium and creates more tools that can be used to investigate complex situations. Although some of the issues covered have previously been given in the literature, new mathematical representations are provided. Compared to traditional treatments, the new approach relies on straightforward mathematics and less on thermodynamics, thus, giving a new and complementary perspective on equilibrium theory. It provides a new theoretical basis for a thorough and deep presentation of traditional chemical equilibrium. This work demonstrates that new research in a traditional field such as equilibrium theory, generally thought to have been completed many years ago, can still offer new insights and that more efficient ways to present the contents can be established. The work presented here can be considered appropriate as part of a mathematical chemistry course at University level.

To be as economical as possible, it's long been a tradition (especially in particularly large households) to purchase, grow and prepare food in bulk, saving both time and money. To effectively store the food that's made, it's essential to have access to a good freezer.
Which type has the largest storage capacity?
Capacity will be an important purchasing criteria when choosing one of these appliances. Think about how much food you plan to store, as this will have a big impact on the size you need. A 200 to 300 litre capacity freezer will offer plenty of storage and free up your fridge freezer for ice and other frequently used items. The highest capacity models are upright freezers and chest freezers. Besides storing items such as fish, garden grown produce or pre-cooked meals, they also provide enough space to store awkward items such as large cuts of meat. Uprights are generally between 60-70cm wide, 60-65cm deep and can reach heights of more than 2 metres. As a general rule of thumb, the taller a model is, the more capacity it usually offers. However, capacity also depends to a large extent on the shelving and storage compartment arrangement and design, with some models more efficiently organised than others. What many buyers don't realise is that manufacturers tend to measure capacity with all racks and drawers removed. It's important to keep this in mind, because the "usable" capacity may be slightly under 75% of the stated capacity in extreme cases.
What is the best model for a small kitchen?
The most effective solution for a small kitchen would probably be a fridge freezer combo. However, if you still need a bit more space, consider a counter height, under counter, integrated or table top model. Undercounter freezers tend to be very reasonably priced and because they are less than 90cm tall, they can be conveniently stowed away under your kitchen workspace. Both wide (up to 60.5cm wide x 65cm deep) and slim (55cm wide x 50cm deep) models are available. Tiny table top variants typically measure less than 85cm x 55cm. As mentioned before, during the purchasing process, always remember that shelving and drawer arrangement affects storage capacity. Also, check whether your particular product requires extra free space to the sides, above or behind for air circulation, as this will need to be taken into account when measuring kitchen space.
Are there any good budget models?
If you are looking for a bargain freezer, choose a white counter height, under counter or table top model. For those wanting more capacity, a white chest style is a good option. These styles almost always offer the best price to capacity ratio. Zanussi, Beko, Indesit and Hotpoint freezers in particular are known for being high quality, budget models. When on a budget, running costs are also an important consideration, so be sure to check energy efficiency class and annual energy consumption figures.
How energy efficient are these appliances?
These specific appliances are not the most energy efficient devices, but there are still several things you can do to save on running costs and be kinder to the environment. The energy rating is one of the best indications of how green a particular model is. Since July 2012, all models in the UK are required to have a rating of at least A+, with A+++ being the most efficient. Because energy rating is a comparison of energy consumption to internal volume, it is a relative figure, explaining how energy efficient an appliance is in proportion to its capacity. This means that the rating does not necessarily provide a clear indication of running costs. (A smaller A+ rated model may very well cost less to run than a larger A+++ device.) Therefore, be sure to check the annual energy consumption rating before purchase as well. Preventing frost build-up in devices that require manual defrosting and limiting the time the door is ajar are also ways to save energy.
Are their certain features I should look for?
As of yet, the range of features on these appliances is rather limited with no smart Wi-Fi models for the UK market on the near horizon. However, there are several practical functions to keep an eye out for. First of all, consider the shelving arrangement, which directly affects storage capacity and convenience. Drawers tend to be easier to access than flap-lid compartments, particularly in very tall upright models and those made from clear plastic are usually the most practical option as you can see what is in a drawer before opening it. If you need to store large, awkward items like big cuts of meat, make sure that the model you choose has wide, deep drawers or a large, open section. Frost-free freezers are always a convenient choice, as this feature will save you the hassle of defrosting manually, thereby leading to efficient running. A few newer products are also equipped with "fast freeze" technology. These devices have an extra burst of cooling power that is capable of freezing a large quantity of fresh food very quickly. Though not quite shock-freezing, it helps preserve nutrients and keeps your items tasting fresher when thawed. A temperature alert, door ajar alarm and automatic door closing function help prevent a break in the cold chain. Also remember that these particular appliances tend to be rather noisy, so it is a good idea to check the maximum noise emission if the appliance will be kept inside your home. As far as style goes, most models are simply white, which is also the least expensive choice. However, built-in freezers are made to be hidden behind cabinetry to match the rest of your kitchen décor.
Can I keep this appliance in an unheated area?
It's possible to keep these devices in the garage or on an enclosed patio, both to save room in the kitchen and because the appliance can be rather noisy. However, it is important to understand that the majority of these devices are not engineered to work in temperatures under 10°C. In fact, if kept in a low temperature area, it might inadvertently defrost, causing your food to spoil. This is the reason why many manufacturers state in their manuals that the device must be kept within a certain range of temperatures for the warranty to be valid. The problem is caused by the fact that if temperatures reach freezing levels, the appliance will actually have to reverse its intended function and keep the food warmer (usually around 6°C) than the outside temperature. In extreme cases the refrigerant might even freeze.
If you do plan to keep your device in an unheated area, take a look at climate class before purchase.
CLIMATE CLASS SN (10°C to 32°C) N (16°C to 32°C) ST (18°C to 38°C) T (18°C to 43°C) SN/ST (10°C to 38°C) SN/T (10°C to 43°C)
Beko is usually a good choice if you want to keep your model in an unheated area, because this manufacturer's products use a different type of refrigerant to most other brands. Beko therefore claims that some of its models are suitable for being kept in unheated areas.

Some of the most popular manufacturers include Samsung, Beko, Liebherr and Indesit.

Katatonia: Viva emptiness
31/08/11 || Smalley
While I'm not quite a Katatonia uberfan, these melancholic Swedes can still sometimes tickle me just right with their unique brand of melodic, beautifully depressed, not-quite-metal, not-quite-alt-rock songwriting. Still, me and them have had a bit of an up-and-down relationship over the years, and while "Viva emptiness" is a decent effort, and certainly not their nadir, it still leaves something to be desired with some flat songwriting and flirtations with nu metal elements, especially considering that the band would pull off the spot-on "The great cold distance" right after this.
Still, there remains plenty to enjoy here, even though opener "Ghost of the sun" really isn't one of 'em; it does have a nice overall drive to it, but still stumbles with bridges that break up the verses' momentum, whiny, nu metal-y, stupidly-profane lyrics ("I trusted you, you lied/It's all I hear, a fucking lie!/Don't give a shit, it's over now/It's all I know, you broke the vow!"), and overly "aggro" backing vocals. Follow-up "Sleeper" is a bit of a nothing song, failing to leave a solid impression on me, and "Criminals" isn't much better.
So far, not so good here, right? Fortunately, "A premonition" then finally hits the sweet spot with its oddly laid-out, uneasy, eerily calm main melody; you could call it "soothing", but it's a weird, disconcerting kind of soothing, with a constant, underlying tension to it (which is awesome). I don't like the annoying distortion they give Renkse's vocals later on, but oh well. "Will I arrive" is another unfortunately nu metal-y cut, but "Burn the remembrance" soon rectifies that with its gorgeous guitar interactions, brilliant, extended outro, and serene bongo-ing (bongo'd courtesy of Matthew McConaughey's penis). If every song on VE was as good as this, we could be looking at Katatonia's very best record right now instead of merely a decent one.
And from there, the album's pretty evenly split between the good stuff and the indifferent; after a flat first section, "Wealth" hits just the right groove, "Complicity" is an effective dichotomy of soft/heavy transitions, and "Evidence" is a nicely powerful, emotional cut, while on the other hand, "One year from now" bores, middling instrumental "Inside the city of glass" won't be challenging "The call of Ktulu" for dominance anytime soon, and (besides a compelling chorus) "Walking by a wire" spins its wheels, but doesn't get much of anywhere.
Outside of just the individual songs, some of the basic aural elements on "Viva" that I like are Jonas Renkse's melodic, quietly tortured, almost-a-confessional vocals, and the unique production job, with its excellent clean guitar sound and nicely audible bass. Although vocals-wise here, you still have those whiny nu metal moments, I don't get the people who say Renkse's voice will make you wanna kill yourself (he isn't THAT depressing!), and I would've preferred some harsh vox alongside the clean ala what Rapture does, I still have grown to enjoy Jonas's voice after some early indifference. As for the instrumental performances, besides some occasionally interesting drumming, there's nothing real impressive going on here, but everyone is still competent, and well-suited to the style here.
So all in all, "Viva emptiness" is kind of an awkward middle child in-between "Last fair deal gone down" and the excellent "great cold distance", having some excellently emotional, compelling songs, but also some duds, as well as a weird, inappropriate incorporation of wannabe-aggressive nu metal elements, even though it came out well after the initial wave of nu's popularity. I know Katatonia had already started being influenced by alt rock prior to this, but they should've heard the nu metal stuff didn't work for 'em, and also should've kicked up the energy to some of the flat songs here. Still, the shit that does work here works pretty well, so I can't say I don't hold a positive-ish view of "emptiness" in the end, albeit one that is tempered by disappointment. Hurry up and get to recording "distance", I say to '03-era Katatonia.

Africa Program: Capacity Building
African Wildlife Consultative Forum
SCI Foundation concluded the 10th annual African Wildlife Consultative Forum at the Royal Swazi Sun Hotel in Swaziland. This forum is one of the largest activities supported by the SCIF Conservation Committee and brings together most of the hunting countries in sub-Saharan Africa for a week-long forum to discuss a wide range of wildlife management, conservation and hunting priorities.The 2011 forum had over 50 participants representing wildlife professionals, ministers and regulatory officials from 13 countries.
As such, the forum provides the only real opportunity these countries have annually to come together to compare problems and develop common approaches to the future management of their wildlife resources. SCIF is proud to be the prime catalyst and support base for this invaluable discussion forum as a basis to ensure that sustainable use hunting remains a management priority within each of these countries.
In North America, wildlife managers and other interested parties have many such collaborative opportunities through an assortment of societies, clubs, organizations and working group meetings where wildlife management experiences (successes and failures) can be discussed. In Africa, governmental agencies, non-governmental agencies, wildlife biologists, managers, hunting associations and others have no other opportunity to get together for important discussions on sustainable wildlife management. Safari Club International Foundation understood this need ten years ago when it initially sponsored AWCF. The AWCF is now the largest meeting of its kind in Africa.
Over the past decade, the AWCF annual meetings have included the major themes in African wildlife science with human dimensions, over-abundance of certain populations and rarity in others, predator-prey interactions, habitat use, subsistence hunting, recreational hunting, non-consumptive uses of wildlife, anti-poaching campaigns and much more.Non-governmental organizations gave updates on their African conservation projects. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) has also been in attendance for many years and participates heavily in discussions about CITES policies and answers questions regarding importation of legally sport-hunted trophies.
This year the Professional Hunting Associations announced that a standard code of conduct for hunting had been established. Standardizing guiding practices is important to reduce allegations of misconduct and promote ethical, fair-chase techniques across Africa. Also this year the international hunting community is facing a major effort by the anti-hunting community to place the African lion on CITES Appendix 1. As such, this will effectively shut down all hunting and imports of lions. The members present at the AWCF committed to develop what may become the most effective counter to this effort by agreeing to organize and support the collection and update of current lion census data from all of the range state nations. The attending government entities agreed to fully cooperate to address the ambitious deadlines set for the CITES Periodic Review of the African lion. The Periodic Review will use the best science available to determine if lions are appropriately listed in the CITES Appendices.
The AWCF is an ideal opportunity for SCI Foundation to promote its conservation mission in Africa directly through interaction with African wildlife officials. Our involvement with AWCF also promotes SCIF as the voice for sustainable wildlife conservation with decision makers around the world.

Springfield Transmission Project Delivers Improved Grid Reliability, Jobs, and Economic Benefits for the Commonwealth
BOSTON — Tuesday, October 2, 2012 — Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rick Sullivan today announced that projects to improve the Commonwealth's electric transmission system are boosting the economy and creating jobs.
Massachusetts state regulators have approved more than $800 million in vital electric transmission upgrades in the last two years. Over 18 communities from Greater Springfield to Cape Cod are now seeing, or will soon see, system upgrade projects essential to improving reliability, reducing power costs and producing environmental benefits.
"These system upgrades aim to improve service reliability, but when you factor in the job creation and the environmental advantages from these projects, the people of the Commonwealth are benefiting in a number of ways," said Secretary Sullivan.
The biggest project is the Greater Springfield Reliability Project (GSRP) which spans five towns in western Massachusetts and continues into Connecticut. The $718 million project, of which $575 million is in Massachusetts, broke ground in 2010 and is slated for completion next year. It is being developed by Western Massachusetts Electric Company (WMECo) and Connecticut Light & Power. According to a study, during 2012 alone, the GSRP is expected to provide more than 1,400 local jobs in the western Massachusetts area in trades from construction and utilities to local accommodations and technical services.
"The GSRP demonstrates that revitalizing our energy infrastructure can also help to foster economic activity in the Commonwealth," said Department of Public Utilities (DPU) Chairman Ann Berwick.
Local communities will also reap benefits from the GSRP investment, which, according to WMECo, will boost municipal property tax receipts in the Massachusetts host communities by approximately $16 million annually.
"This project means an expected increase in taxable property of over $75 million in the first year and increased revenue of over $2 million to Chicopee to help balance our city budget and improve our financial position," said Chicopee Mayor Michael D. Bissonnette. "Construction has meant hundreds of jobs for Pioneer Valley residents and has helped to stabilize our local economy while making sure there is enough power to meet our future needs."
The GSRP is considered a regional project with regional benefits. Ratepayers from across New England will help pay for the project. The impact of the GSRP on an average customer's electric bill will be about 70 cents per month.
In their review process, state regulators took into account the community and environmental impacts of this major construction project and worked closely with WMECo to mitigate these impacts. Following construction, work areas are being restored and repopulated with appropriate vegetation.
While the GSRP is the largest of the ongoing transmission projects in Massachusetts, it is not alone in providing an economic boost to the Commonwealth's communities. The Hampden County Reliability Project (National Grid and WMECo), the Lower Southeast Massachusetts Project in the Plymouth-Cape Cod area (NSTAR Electric) and upgrades in Boston and Everett (NSTAR and National Grid) will provide similar benefits.

England has its own hallowed history of Modern gangster films that are a bit different from America's. On one end is the cold, hard realism of "Get Carter" and "The Long Good Friday", and on the other end are the hyper-kinetic stylings and humor of Mr. Madonna (Guy Ritchie) with "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" and the fantastic "Snatch". In his feature-directing debut, Jonathan Glazer falls somewhere in the middle with "Sexy Beast".
It all starts out idyllic enough. Former London gangster Gary "Gal" Dove (Ray Winstone) is quite enjoying his retirement in Spain with former porn star Deedee (Amanda Redman). Leisure life in his Spanish villa has nearly turned him into a loving, caring human being. Of course it won't last.
Crime boss Teddy Bass (Ian McShane) has sent Gal's brutal old rival Don Logan (Ben Kingsley) to "convince" him to come out of retirement to take part in one last big heist. Gal really, really doesn't want to go. This causes a small problem. After much violence and ugliness ensue courtesy of Don, Gal is left with one really, really BIG problem.
Glazer, who came from directing commercials, injects the film with a great deal of visual style, quite appropriate to the material. However the director and screenwriters Louis Mellis and David Scinto have also paid a great deal of attention to not just how the gangsters speak to each other, but also the methods and rituals by which they interact. This is where the "Beast" from the title comes from. Don and Teddy are like preening animals trying to assert their power over any of their own kind. This most vividly illustrates what Gal was trying to get away from. He's too long out of the game to fully withstand the power games inflicted upon him by his old colleagues. Still, it's a lot of fun to watch.
The big revelation here is Kingsley. This sure ain't your father's Ben Kingsley. This isn't Gandhi anymore, this is the kind of guy who would beat Gandhi to death just for laughs. It's nice to see the guy get down and dirty and prove himself willing and able to do anything Gary Oldman would do. Ray Winstone has made quite a visceral name for himself in the last few years, but in "Sexy Beast" Kingsley eats him alive.
This film isn't without its flaws. A more literal beast of which Gal dreams seems a little contrived and unnecessary. Overall, it's still a great time and it's nice to see a new director willing to spend as much time with his actors as he does moving the camera around.

Here's a link to my video which is the subject of this post:
Failure to Stop / Mozambique Drill - 1.12 seconds - 5 yards - YouTube
As you can see from the title of the above video, I have clumped the "Mozambique" drill with the "Failure to Stop" drill. Said drills should be differentiated from one another (especially by military standards). The "Mozambique" drill entails 2 shots to the thoracic area (center of mass) followed by an immediate shot to the cranio-ocular cavity.
This drill can be distinguished from a "Failure to Stop" drill in that there is no assessment prior to the head shot. In contrast, the "failure to stop" drill requires an assessment as to status of the assailant's condition prior to making a decision to follow up with a head shot. There are 3 instances when the assailant does not succumb to 2 center of mass hits thereby necessitating a follow-up head shot...(1) drugs, (2) body armor (heavy winter clothing or excessive fatty tissue), or (3) a determined attacker.
I had loosely and lazily used the terms when describing the video. A viewer's input is the impetus for this clarification.
Another point I'd like to make is the importance of periodic videotaping of one's shooting. This video was taken approximately 1 year after my right elbow surgery due to torn tendon and ligament. I noticed that I do not bring the gun adequately to count 2 prior to extension to the target. I came to the realization that I am favoring my right arm and going straight to the target due to the previous and ingrained pain associated to coming up high on count 2.
Wishing you all a great week!

However, the team ultimately decided to run the standard, side-blowing solution (inset) for qualifying and the race. The Faenza team also retained the new front wing they introduced at Suzuka.

How 'Bout Those Shoes, Condi?
Last Wednesday, while people where literally drowning and dying in New Orleans, our esteemed (cough!) Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice sure found some time to soak up the fun.
She was booed by some audience members as she was in New York to take in the play Spamalot.
Thursday, as more people continued to drown and die, she made her way to Ferragamo on Fifth Ave, where she reportedly purchased "several thousand dollars' worth of shoes."
But never fear! Condi does have her priorities straight! And she knows her main priority is to be a Bush apologist. So she managed to make her way to an African-American church in Alabama today, and defended her husband-oops make that boss, against allegations that race may have played a factor in the federal government's slow response. "Nobody, especially the president, would have left people unattended on the basis of race," she said. "How can that be the case? Americans don't want to see Americans suffer."


text: FAA expects dip in airline travel this year before upward trend resumesBy Mike M. Ahlers, CNNUpdated 2:01 PM ET, Thu March 8, 2012Story highlightsIn 20-year forecast, agency says it's upbeat about U.S. aviation in the long termAirline revenue passenger miles -- a key measure in air travel -- expected to shrink 0.2% in 2012FAA: Satellite navigation system is key; regional airlines will grow faster than major onesReport says 9/11, recession, fuel prices, international debt crises have harmed the industryU.S. airlines probably will see a small dip in the number of passengers this year, before resuming a climb that ultimately will see air travel nearly double in the next 20 years, according to an FAA forecast released Thursday.The Federal Aviation Administration report says the slow pace of the economic recovery is dampening aviation growth. The number of revenue passenger miles -- a key yardstick for air travel -- will shrink 0.2% this year, the agency said, noting that the number of passengers declined during the final two months of 2011. When the recovery takes hold, air travel will grow at an average 2.8% per year through 2032, the FAA said, slower than the 3.1% growth predicted last year. As a result, the FAA says, it now believes airlines won't hit the 1 billion passenger mark until 2024, three years later than predicted just last year. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood nonetheless used the occasion to repeat his calls for an expansion of NextGen, the satellite-based navigation system that aims to make air travel more efficient. "Our investment in NextGen is the key to getting passengers and cargo to their destinations more safely, faster, and with less impact on the environment," LaHood said in a statement. Forecasts -- a difficult science in the best of times -- have been made more problematic by the turbulent domestic and international recession, the FAA forecasters said. While passenger demand will probably be almost flat this year, the FAA predicts an approximately 2% increase in domestic passengers in 2013, and about 3% growth in future years. Regional airlines are projected to grow faster than the major airlines. The report also notes some efficiencies that could help the FAA manage the growing workload. It says departures from U.S. airports will grow slower than passenger traffic. That is because airlines are increasing aircraft size and reducing the number of empty seats. "Growth over the next five years will be moderate, with a return to historic levels of growth only attainable in the long term," the forecast reads. Two major events -- the September 11 terrorist attacks and the recession -- have had a major effect on air travel in recent years, reducing the demand for air travel. But rising fuel prices and debt restructuring in Europe and the U.S. have also hurt the industry. The report says that airlines have responded by starting new services, and by charging separately for services that historically were bundled into the ticket price. Airlines also returned to profitability in 2011 by better managing their fleets -- operating fewer flights, but with fewer empty seats. "Going into the next decade, there is cautious optimism that the industry has been transformed from that of a boom-to-bust cycle to one of sustained profits," the forecast says.More from travelPalawan: Sailing's next great destination?Dragons, romance and carnival: 10 reasons to visit Slovenia in 2015He flew around the world in 67 hoursPowered by Livefyre

It is the lowest moment in any international sporting event when people start stereotyping countries and cracking jokes in poor taste.
Yet it always happens, and this time around it was a Dutch UNICEF ambassador Nicolette van Dam who tweeted a joke about Colombia this Wednesday afternoon.
The image features Colombian players Falcao Garcia and James Rodriguez on their knees, snorting the new spray that referees have been using to draw lines for free kicks like a line of cocaine. Accompanying text translates to "Colombian Wall" underneath it. The tweet was immediately met with outrage from Colombians.
Van Dam's original tweet has since been deleted.
"Colombians deserve more respect, that little joke cannot stand as it is," Twitter user Juliana Londoño wrote. "It's a shame!"
Others chimed in, expressing their outrage:
It's unclear at the moment what is going to happen to Van Dam's UNICEF ambassadorship, but we do know that the organization is looking into it. A tweet sent by UNICEF Colombia says that they are "trying to verify the authorship of the unfortunate tweet from @NicoletteVanDam as soon as possible."

Cobra True Dual Exhaust Header Pipes For Harley Touring
Cobra's True Dual headpipes come with Cobra's Limited Lifetime Warranty in addition to a host of other unique features. One-piece full-length, 2.5-inch diameter heat shields cover the pipes from the exhaust ports all the way to the other end. The heat shields are a larger diameter than most other offerings on the market and the single-piece shields especially on the rear pipe. The added benefit is that the larger heat shields will deflect more engine heat away from the rider, making it noticeably cooler for the rider and passenger. The pipes were also designed to deliver optimal torque and power while increasing the stock bike's rideability right in the sweet spot of the torque curve. The system consists of headpipes and heat shields and all of the mounting hardware needed to complete the installation of the made-in-the-U.S.A. pipes. The system is equipped with oxygen sensor bungs so you can take advantage of your motorcycle's closed loop technology.
Note: Mufflers not included; must be purchased separately.

Cheetah the Chimp Died in Florida, But There's Little Evidence He Was Actually in Tarzan Movies
The story originated from The Tampa Tribune. Yes, a chimpanzee who lived at the Suncoast Primate Sanctuary in Palm Harbor Florida died. Yes, his caretakers believe that he starred in the famed early 1930s Tarzan movies starring Johnny Weissmuller. No, there's little evidence backing it up.
- The sanctuary claims that Cheetah was 80, which would have made him old enough to have appeared in the films. Chimpanzees rarely live more than 35 years in the wild, and even in captivity they don't often make it past 45 years. There's no evidence of any chimp who has actually lived 80 properly documented years. To imagine that world's longest living chimp just also happened to have been a movie star is a hard pill to swallow.
- Several chimps were used to play the role of Cheetah in the Tarzan films, but the most famous was Jiggs. He died back in 1938. Jiggs seems to be the only animal actor whose role in the films has been established thoroughly.
- The Tribune reports that "Sometime around 1960, Cheetah came to the sanctuary from Weissmuller's estate in Ocala." Johnny Weissmuller, the actor who played Tarzan in the '30s, was, well an actor. We can't find any readily available evidence that he privately owned any chimpanzees, let alone his co-stars. For that matter we can't find any evidence he owned an estate in Ocala. Yes, several scenes for the series were filmed in nearby Silver Springs, Florida, but Weissmuller was living in a posh Bel Aire mansion during his Hollywood heydays.
- Weissmuller did move to Florida in the '60s, but he lived in Fort Lauderdale (where he helped establish the International Swimming Hall of Fame). During this time he also had some involvement in developing a Titusville, Florida, tourist trap known as Tropical Wonderland or Tarzan's Jungleland. It eventually closed in 1973. Is it possible this Cheetah came from Weissmuller's tourist trap and not his actual movies?
- Back in 2008, the Washington Post exposed another supposed ex-Tarzan movie star ape as a fraud. The story makes a passing reference to this Cheetah, "In fact, there was another, less well publicized Cheeta in Palm Harbor, Fla., who was also said to be in his 70s and a veteran of Weissmuller movies. But that's another story." It may be another story, but they are strikingly similar.
This isn't to say that anyone at the Suncoast Primate Sanctuary is actively promoting a fraud, or that the animal's death is any less sad. The story probably got passed down, slowly changed over time, to the point where no one ever questioned that this Cheetah was the Cheeta from the movies. Memories a funny thing.
Hell, I've already convinced myself that I've actually "met" this particular Cheetah. I do remember my aunt, who lives in Clearwater, close by to Palm Harbor, taking me to a primate sanctuary in the area as a kid. The pictures of Suncoast Primate Sanctuary do look strikingly similar to my memory. I mean, how many primate sanctuary could there possible be in Tampa Bay? Sure, I guess I could call up my aunt to verify, but why would I want to risk tarnishing a good story, and why would the staff at Suncoast want to tarnish there's despite a lot of obvious circumstantial evidence suggesting its false.
Whether this Cheetah ever appeared in Tarzan or not, lets pour one out for the old chimp.
