Ozzie Guillen talks about his future, Cubs vacancy
Sep 26, 2010, 10:58 AM EDT
The baseball world seems to have a love-hate relationship with White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen. He's honest, and we all like honesty. Or, at least we pretend to like honesty. But he's also loud and somewhat egotistical, and maybe even a little crazy. Guillen let loose on Saturday when asked about his future with the…

An April blizzard, severe storms and wild temperature swings were all caused by a dynamic storm in the Plains.
While dynamic storms are typical in the spring as warmth returns across the South and cold air lingers across the north, this storm was quite unusual.
Blizzard conditions evolved on Tuesday from Colorado and Wyoming to Nebraska and South Dakota. Winds over 50 mph created snow drifts as high as 9 feet, while portions of I-25 and I-80 were shut down.
Rapid City Airport, S.D., recorded its snowiest single day of all time on Tuesday with a total of 20.0 inches.
Snowfall Totals as of 8:30 a.m. EDT Wednesday
On Tuesday, temperature differences across the Plains were more than 90 degrees. Highs ranged from 12 degrees in Cheyenne, Wyo., to 108 degrees in Laredo, Texas.
The violent clash of air masses helped to set up the battlegrounds for severe storms from Texas to Iowa. The strongest storms produced hail up to 2.00 inches in diameter and wind gusts higher than 65 mph.
Farther south, temperatures soared then crashed across portions of Oklahoma and Texas. The colder air arrived as winds switched out of the north.
"It's really unusual to have this magnitude of arctic air drive this far south in the Plains this time of year. It's a sign of how amplified the weather pattern is in the U.S.," AccuWeather Expert Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said.
Abilene, Texas, climbed as high as 93 degrees on Tuesday evening. Temperatures dropped drastically into the night, reaching the 30s after midnight as snow arrived. Snow and freezing rain fell throughout the night.
While the high reached 79 degrees in Oklahoma City, temperatures dropped into the lower 30s overnight. Heavy thunderstorms this morning changed over to freezing rain with thunder.
"There may be a similar storm next week, but without the same magnitude of arctic air," Sosnowski said.

U2 front man Bono has praised the oil revenue transparency provision which is included in the Wall Street reform law. The Irish man urged the adoption of similar rules elsewhere in a weekend New York Times op-ed.
"I'm pleased to give you an update on an intervention that some of us thought of and fought for as critical: hidden somewhere in the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill (admit it ... you haven't read it all either) there is a hugely significant 'transparency' amendment, added by Senators Richard Lugar and Benjamin Cardin. Now energy companies traded on American exchanges will have to reveal every payment they make to government officials. If money changes hands, it will happen in the open. This is the kind of daylight that makes the cockroaches scurry," Bono wrote in a weekend New York Times op-ed.
Bono was highlighting the measure ahead of this weeks United Nations major development summit.
Senators Richard Lugar and Ban Cardin fought hard fought hard for the inclusion of this measure which will force several oil and mining companies to have more transparency regarding payments to foreign governments for production licenses.
According to the singer some multinational oil companies "knowingly participate in a system of backhanders and bribery that ends up cheating the host nation and turning what should be a resource blessing into a kind of curse of black-market cabals."

Nano SIM cards released, bound for new iPhones
New Nano SIM cards are being distributed by Germany's Deutsche Telekom ahead of Apple's new iPhone release. A recently published picture at ifun.de (translated link) illustrates the smaller size of the Nano SIM compared to the Micro SIM cards used in the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPads.
While Deutsche Telekom doesn't mention the new iPhone specifically in an included explanation of the cards, the text alludes to "a new generation of SIM cards for the latest generation of smartphones" that will be released in the near future. [via 9to5Mac]

Where do folks live?
I'm wonering why folks don't tell where they live? I go to
their "My Page" and 99 % of people say they live in the United States. Why not say I live in Dayton, Ohio or Southern Ohio or center of Kansas or Northern New York or Minneapolis, MN ? That would give us a clue about your weather and gardens and other events that effect you. Please?
I live in Northern California near the metropolis of Laytonville (Pop 1200, give or take a few). I am not afraid to say this, no one can find me anyway, even if they have my street address (which has 3 aka's) and they have GPS. If someone had a contract out for me, they would be totally out of luck :>)
I think the United States is an automatic fill-in if you don't fill in any info. Just like the Birthday of Jan.1.
I know I didn't put anything in. I live in the hot, humid state of Georgia....maybe that's why I'm cranky. Long hot summer coming up and not much winter to remember.
There's so much info that's accidently given on the forums. Maybe it's better not to give too much.
I go to one forum, and after reading many posts from one ditzy woman, I got to thinking about all the things she said about her house, surroundings, etc.. I think she lives just a few blocks from me!!!

When Garden Party was first begun, MyPage did accept specific locales; when Village took over, the specific locales/city names seem to disappear during the reorganization. I did try to update MyPage at that time, but quit after several non-successes. I agree that there is now a concern about privacy (or the invasion of privacy) that didn't seem to exist back in 'the old days'.
I'm still in Northern Virginia, still in zone 6b, still getting older, creakier, and crankier. And still gardening; and my garden and DH's garden are still known as "yours" and "mine".
Thanks everyone. Wow! That's so interesting. Nice to know where folks live. Want to let you know that night before last we had about 7-8 inches of snow. Some areas received more and even required the snow plows to be out! In March we had some days in the 60's and 70's. Today it's gone except in the ditches. Ruined the apple crop as they were all in bloom. Mother Nature cannot be programed!
Still snow?! Wow I feel bad for you, but you can feel bad for me in July & August.
Anyone been to Opp AL, or even through? I moved here 5 years ago from central OH.
I thought this was going to be a question about neighborhood types. Our house under a giant pecan and oak tree is about 70-80 years old in an older neighborhood where they used to just put straightish streets and build houses on them, not housing developments with curvy roads and few entrances/exits. We live less than a mile from "downtown" but it's a small town with dirt rods equally as close. There are other houses to the sides and behind, with a now-bypassed state highway where our street ends out front, businesses on the other side of the road.
What's your setting like?
Purple, is that the Opp that has the Rattlesnake Festival? On our first trip to FL in 1995, we spent the night, there, not knowing how close we were to where we were going! It was a nice little town--we took a walk in the evening, but when I heard the next morning at the local diner that Opp had a rattlesnake festival--evem though it was several months' away--I was ready to leave town! (Since then, we found more direct routes, so have not been back!)
DH and I are retirees/transplants from the D.C. area and live in a housing development such as you described. Except for two thru streets, every one is a "court" or "dead end"; makes it great for kids to play and walking. The development is located right off an interstate exit, so getting places is pretty easy.
Posie, I was impressed by the 7-8" of snow; sorry it ruined the apple crop.
I've never eaten rattlesnake. Hm.
I live in a medium sized city, pretty much in the city. I'm right smack in the middle of easy access to two major roads, and the interstate for every direction. It's 5 or 10 minutes to downtown and about 20-30 minutes to the airport. I don't think, even if I had the money to buy a house (instead of renting), I would move farther out. I am near everything I want to see and do. From hockey, to work, to play, the symphony, restaurants, grocery stores, the theater, fantastic schools from the best high schools in the nation-to ivy league university, and of course, all genres of music.. you name it... it's all right here.

If you haven't read the introduction on why I undertook this Hall of Fame experiment, I encourage you to read Part I of my blog. After doing so, you'll have a better feel for the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting process, which I spent the last month attempting to duplicate with a 20-person committee who was provided the same responsibilities: the chance to determine H.O.F. worthiness for two senior candidates and 15 modern-era finalists.
It's time to reveal and analyze those experiment results and compare them with what happened in Indianapolis last month. (And yes, given that I assembled my committee with an open invitation on Twitter, I'm not surprised the mock results have a strong Minnesota tilt to them.)
Still, it's the process more than the results that I was interested in sharing.
Step one: each committee member was asked to provide a "yes or no" hall vote on senior candidates Jack Butler and Dick Stanfels. Committee members were then asked to place a checkmark next to their top 10 candidates off of this list of 15 modern-era-finalists: Jerome Bettis, Tim Brown, Cris Carter, Dermontti Dawson, Chris Doleman, Eddie DeBartolo, Kevin Greene, Charles Haley, Curtis Martin, Cortez Kennedy, Bill Parcells, Andre Reed, Will Shields, Willie Roaf, Aeneas Williams.
The top 10 in reality: Brown, Carter, Dawson, Doleman, Haley, Martin, Kennedy, Parcells, Roaf, Williams.
The experimental top 10 (with number of top 10 votes in parentheses): Carter (20), Doleman (19), Martin (19), Brown (16), Haley (15), Parcells (14), Shields (13), Dawson (13), Williams (12)
Step two: each committee member was asked to place a checkmark next to their top five candidates off the top 10 list.
The final five in reality: Dawson, Doleman, Kennedy, Martin, Roaf
The experimental final five (with number of top five votes in parentheses): Carter (20), Doleman (17), Martin (11), Shields (11), Roaf (10)
Step three: Each of the five modern-era finalists were brought up for a "yes or no" vote, needing 80 percent approval to be included into the Hall of Fame.
The Class of 2012 in reality: Jack Butler, Chris Doleman, Cortez Kennedy, Willie Roaf, Dermontti Dawson, Curtis Martin
My experimental Class of 2012 (with number of "yes" votes in parentheses): Jack Butler (17), Cris Carter (20), Chris Doleman (18)
Worth noting: in the experiment, both Roaf and Shields fell one "yes" vote short of making the Hall. Martin fell four votes short.
Still, to reiterate, it's not the final results of my experiment I was interested in. More so, I wanted to hear from those who participated in the experiment as to what surprised them and what suggested changes they might have for the process. Here is some of that feedback:
Steven Stauff: "I can now better understand why Cris Carter is having a harder time getting in based on the current process. If you look at the body of work by Carter, Brown and Reed, they either need to all be in or not. I believe they all should be in, but it would be difficult to include just one since they do have similar bodies of work."
Chad Stenzel: "I was surprised and disappointed that a couple of my picks didn't make it past the first round of cuts."
One voter who wished to remain anonymous: "I am surprised that even though Will Shields was in my first group of cuts, I was able to vote 'yes' for him in the final selection. Although, we were not able to debate in this experiment, I figured that if others felt that he should be in the top five then I would go along with the majority."
Stauff: Make the process less rigid or less structured. Allow for some flexibility. Instead of a set process of going from 15 to 10 to 5, etc., you simply vote who makes it to the next round, regardless of a set number. And only make it one cut. This way if there are seven people that are deserving, seven can get in. If there are only two so be it.
Logan Fredrickson: I would change voting to implement some type of ranking system like Heisman voting. Voters would rank their top 10 players on the ballot. Each ranking would be assigned a point total – the higher the rank the more the points. Tally up those points and have a pre-determined point total needed for admittance. … The current system allows for voters to single out certain players. For instance say, I really didn't want Carter to get in. By not voting for him in the final vote, I significantly lower his chances due to the steep 80% approval requirement.
At the conclusion of the experiment, I asked each of my 20 voters to cast a "yes or no" Hall vote for each of the 15 modern-era finalists. What did that tell us? First and foremost, 16 of the 20 voters agreed that more than five modern-era candidates belonged in the Hall.
Ten of the voters would have deemed at least eight modern-era candidates as Hall of Fame inductees with two voters giving the green light to at least a dozen of the candidates.
Here is the number of "yes" votes (out of 20 possible) obtained by each of the 15 modern-era finalists:
Look over that list again. Curtis Martin made the final five in our experimental vote. Yet had a "yes or no" vote been given to all 15 candidates right out of the gate, Martin would have ranked eighth overall in terms of committee approval.
And again, with all the hullabaloo that surfaced after Carter and Parcells didn't make this year's Hall class, is it possible that in the real selection room, one or both of them would have obtained 80 percent approval from the committee had they been given a "yes or no" vote at the outset?
Sensing now how complex and arbitrary the process can be? It would take only one minor tweak to the process to produce very different end results – even with the exact same voters.
Hope this sheds some light on the process. Thanks again to the experimental voters who offered their time to be a part of the process.
Until next year ...

"Really disorganized "

I worked at SDI Media Group
They have a few good, responsible, people working for them, so I don't completely regret the experience, because I made great connections.
It was very disorganized. The person who would be my manager didn't really know what I worked on, yet as the newbie she/he had no problem blaming all the issues on me. She/he would also call me to ask why I wasn't in the office, even though I wasn't scheduled to work on that particular day.
It seems like some people in the company never leave. They just change positions, and sometimes they're moved to positions they're not qualified to do. I think that's where the disorganization comes from. I understand that it's nicer to transfer a person that you've come to like to another position instead of laying them off, but that's not always the best answer.

Preparing for Week 9
November, 1, 2008
By Bill Williamson | ESPN.com
Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson
I am staying in Denver this weekend to see the Broncos play Miami.
This is a pivotal game for Denver, which has lost three of its past four games. Denver, which leads the weak AFC West with a 4-3 record, can take further control of this floundering division with a win over the Dolphins. However, if the Broncos -- who I think may have trouble defending the Dolphins' Wildcat offensive formation -- lose, the division will get even crazier.
In addition to the Broncos' game, I will be keeping tabs on Tyler Thigpen and the Chiefs' home game against Tampa Bay and Oakland's home game against Atlanta. Please check in Sunday for pre, in and postgame coverage.

Nice place, in a walking distance from the center. Located next to the tivoli park, which is a lovely place to go. The room, kitchen and bathroom are very nice and clean. Karolina and her boyfriend are great hosts, i would defenately go back there.
Karolina & Mikha are lovely people, very welcoming . We had a wonderful time in Ljubljana. The room is large, clean and, bright. The location is excellent, walking distance to the center about 10 minutes .
The room was great and the rest of the flat too. Moreover the location is good, a supermarket is just a few meters away and a bus station too. So you can travel easily within the city.
Karolina was very helpful and i enjoyed the time at her flat.
Karolina has a wonderful huge room with one of the most confortable beds I've ever slept on. She is cool and discrete, my staying was perfect! I'll definitely go back again to her place next time I will travel to Ljubljana!
It was very nice to stay at karolina's apartment. Very clean and comfortable private room with everything you need. It is in the 1st floor and there is elevator if you have big luggage. She was very friendly and helpful. It is close to the center and also Tivoli bus station is just 2 min by feet from her apartment. I recommend you to stay at her place if you are searching place to stay for Ljubljana!
Karolina and her sister were very welcoming, friendly and helpful, they gave us useful tips to visit the city. The flat was lovely, cozy and a 10 minute walk from the city centre. They gave us a present, towels and we could use the nice kitchen. The building was also new and well heated (we stayed in winter when it was -12 outside). The bathroom and shower are really nice, they told us we could use anything we needed. We would strongly recommend staying here, we had a wonderful time. We hope to come back in the summer.
Karolina's house is the perfect place to stay when visiting Ljubljana. The house is at walking distance to the city center (10 minutes) and very close to Tivoli Park. The room is new, warm and cozy and Karolina is a great host, providing us with many suggestions :)
Karolina was an excellent host. She was really kind and the room was just great. I would recommend it to everybody. The location is great as Ljubjana not so big, so we could reach everything perfectly. Thanks.
Karolina made us feel very welcome and the room was exactly as described and shown in the photos. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, with a big park nearby, 15 minute walk from the center. This is one of the best places I have stayed in using AirBnb and would do so again if I visit Ljubljana :)
Karolina egy szuper vendéglátó! Először foglaltam szállást airbnb segítségével, de a bizalom ami fogadott lenyűgöző volt. A város fantasztikus, mint mindíg, a közeli Tivoli park remek futóterep. A lakás olyan mint a leírásban, kényelmes, klassz helyen van, szupertiszta. Minden elismerésem a házigazdának, tényleg otthon érezhettük magunkat.
Thanks for choosing to stay at Taman Sari. It was great to have you here and hope you enjoyed staying as much as we enjoyed having you. Thanks for leaving the room clean and tidy and wish you all the luck for your onward travels. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone letting their home.
All the best Yanti and family.
These guys make for good guests. They are clean, tidy and sociable. They've got some great stories to tell about their travels and are welcome back here anytime.
They are a great couple! We spent some fun time with them sharing our experiences, culture, way of life, etc. Their route through Brazil, US and Dublin was sensational!
They are very good english speakers, and the hard part was just trying to translate the Slovenian language, but Amanda did that (maybe?)! :-)
Miha was a great guest - would be happy to host again anytime!

"We really wanted something clean that didn't have our picture on it. I bought these because it's still a personal touch but that way I have thank you cards for the shower too and we don't have to wait to start thank yous long after our wedding. They are a great quality and elegant, we did not pick the entire suite, our save the dates, and invitations are actually in 2 other suites unrelated to this one. We have a early 1900's feel o our wedding and these were perfect."
"These thank you cards are clean, well-designed, and elegant, giving a classy feel to the thank you note. Additionally, the light design in the corner allows for flair while leaving plenty of space for our genuine thoughts. Also, they were delivered several days ahead of the predicted schedule. The WPD know what they're doing."
"I changed the front of the card to read my initals and worked with the designer to make them in a a scripty monogram. Absolutely gorgeous! I love the modern, girly feel. I choose the pink version and used the Lady Kate font for my monogram. Love them! Another great product from WPD!"
"These cards turned out very pretty. I upgraded to the sparkly paper and was very pleased with the outcome. It was a lovely look!"
"These cards are so beautiful & I loved how personalized they were! I used them as thank you notes for all my shower & bachelorette party gifts. Its a really nice touch to show these cards are personalized for you, and the occasion of getting married. You have the flexibility to change any of the fonts and pick you colors. The turn around time was very fast, and the quality of the paper & printing were great. I am reordering more thank you notes in this style in pink! I received a lot of compliments from people who received the cards about how cute they were! I would definitely recommend these cards."

Baby Won't Stop Crying Until She Hears Taylor Swift [Watch]

Taylor Swift can add a new win to her long list of accomplishments: baby charmer.
It's difficult to not care what other people think, especially when you're a celebrity living in the age of live-tweeting. But Kelly Clarkson takes it in stride.
This 4-year-old wasn't even a sparkle in her parents' eyes when Reba McEntire's "Fancy" was released, but that doesn't stop her from feeling the Fancy-fever.
As it turns out, Kelly Clarkson isn't having any trouble finding a duet partner after all. Clarkson joined talk show host Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show on Monday (March 2) to perform an epic medley of famous duets.
Blake Shelton recently resumed his role as a coach on NBC's hit show The Voice, and he has enlisted Meghan Trainor to be his new celebrity advisor.
Some of the top stars in country music have weighed in on the debate that swept the internet on Thursday (Feb. 26). Taylor Swift, the Band Perry and Scotty McCreery have taken a shot at determining what color is the dress.
Reba McEntire is extremely active on social media, and she frequently gifts her followers with gems of the Throwback Thursday variety.

|Sandusky asks Pa. court to return wife's bail cash
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 04 October 2012 05:30
His lawyer, Joe Amendola, filed a motion Thursday asking for court officials to release the money and the claim on their home to Dottie Sandusky.
Sandusky was convicted in June of sexually abusing 10 boys, some of them on campus. He's been in a county jail since then and is expected to get a lengthy state prison term when sentenced next week.
Before trial, Sandusky had been on home confinement. Sandusky maintains his innocence. Amendola has said he expects to file an appeal.

Not many artists can say they've decorated a 10-foot fiberglass guitar.
With the GuitarTown project returning to Waukesha in 2013, artists have the opportunity to take on the challenge of painting a 10-foot Gibson Les Paul guitar or a regular-sized.
In order to be considered for this project artists must submit all materials by 5 p.m. Thursday.
All applicants must be at least 18 years old and a Wisconsin resident.
Applications will be processed by a selection committee and artists will be reviewed and selected based on their proposal, work examples and résumé.
Any artist selected toprovide artwork will be required to execute a contract for services approved by the selection committee, the Waukesha GuitarTown website notes.
Artists are asked to submit contact information, four photos (4-inch by 6-inch) of current artwork clearly labeled, a detailed concept proposal with both visual (minimum front and back) and a written description of the concept (only original materials will be accepted), a self-addressed, postage paid mailer if you want application materials returned (all application materials from selected artists will be retained by the selection committee until the project is completed).
The Waukesha GuitarTown website instructs individuals to send or deliver all materials to the AlmontGallery with the label, Waukesha West End Artists, 342 W. Main St.,Waukesha, WI 53186.
The GuitarTown project is a way to celebrate the contributions of Les Paul, a music icon who was born and is buried in Waukesha.
The project's goal, through its sponsorships, also raises money for the community. Last year $105,000 was raised: $45,000 to the Waukesha Public School District for new musical instruments and art supplies; $45,000 to the Les Paul exhibit at the Waukesha County Museum; $15,000 to the Waukesha Memorial Hospital to help fund the new Community Health Clinic.
For questions on GuitarTown artists, contact Waukesha GuitarTown Steering Committee member Lynn Gaffey at (262) 542-1522 or email@example.com. For more details, visit waukeshaguitartown.com.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – After a nationwide search for a new school superintendent, the White Plains Board of Education plans to extend its contract with its Interim School Superintendent Timothy Connors one year.
The board plans to consider the extension for the 2014-2015 school year at its May 12 meeting.
"We are confident that we have made the proper choice at this time for the students, staff and community," Board President Rosemarie Eller said. "Mr. Connors will ensure continuity and stability as he continues to move the district forward. The search for a permanent replacement will begin in the fall."
Connors took over at the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year for Christopher Clouet, who took a job as superintendent of the Tarrytowns schools. Connors previously served as White Plains School Superintendent from 2002 to 2009.
Before that he served as Superintendent in Danbury, Conn. Bloomington, Minn. And Woonsocket, RI.
He attended Springfield College undergraduate, and holds a Master's Degree and Certificate of Advanced Studies from Harvard.
He also participated in the Urban Superintendents Program at Harvard.

Coming in May 2015 -- Good Morning to Me!
It's a sleepy morning in the cottage, but Beatrix the parrot is wide AWAKE…and she can't wait to start the day with her friends.
"...a lead character whose energetic, blissfully obtuse personality is as vivid as her bright green feathers...It's easy to imagine the many warm, giggling interchanges that snuggling with this book will inspire."
--Publisher's Weekly, *STARRED REVIEW
"Beatrix's irrepressible character stands out as brightly as her green and gold plumage....Young children who share Beatrix's morning hyperactivity, or even just her flexible relationship with the idea of an "indoor voice," will certainly relate…as will, without doubt, their parents. A few hearty squawks and a brisk bit of exercise...what better way to start the day? "

"New Hampshire?…I've never met somebody who goes to school in New Hampshire."-Many people back home
This reaction was something I came across often during my college tenure. I am from Los Angeles, CA- 3000 miles away from Dartmouth! Most people from my community are not very familiar with New Hampshire…I mean I surely wasn't until visiting Dartmouth. Though very far from home, there are some great reasons to go to school outside of your hometown as my experience has shown me. Whether your hometown is much closer to NH or further than L.A., here are 4 benefits to going to school away from home.
1. Get out of your comfort zone
No matter where you go to college, you will experience change- the transition from HS, new friends, and new activities. I view college as a place of tremendous personal growth in just 4 years. Going to college away from home gives you the opportunity to experience something new. Hanover, NH is just about the complete opposite of where I grew up and what I had been exposed to. That's what I wanted- something completely different. It's a fresh start in an entire new place. You will have to push beyond your personal wall and open yourself up to what the new environment has to offer.
2. Experience something new
Ever seen the four seasons change before your very eyes? Ever jumped into an ice-cold pond and swam for fun? Ever gone apple picking and then made apple crisps with your friends? Ever arrived to a campus 3000 miles away from home and knew nobody? Ever participated in a community pond party where people are doing sofa races on ice? Ever star-gazed with your friends on a golf course? Ever gone to another person's house for Thanksgiving and Easter without your family? This list could go on and on. This is a taste of my experience of all things new in New Hampshire. What is new to you post-hs will be different than my experience. Welcome change in your life. Re-locating geographically for college is one of the major ways to foster change and new experiences. Know that in being away from home, the new will probably outweigh the familiar…and that is okay! Adventure awaits!
3. Independence
You've probably heard that in going to college you gain a new level of independence. And it's true! College is sort of like this weird stage, where you are kind of independent, but not completely so. For me, being far from home was my way of beginning to understand what it's like to be an independent young woman. Though I could still call my family, they were no longer immediately there to pick up the pieces or do the things I didn't want to do (like laundry lol). I had to adjust to this very different environment without them being there to guide me through each and every step. You also have the opportunity to come to terms with your identity, ideas, and beliefs in an environment that is foreign to you. What better way to really grapple with you are as a person and who you want to be. With this new gained independence I matured immensely. Being away from home isn't always easy, but because of my experiences, I feel a bit more ready for the "real world."
4. Understand how friends really do become family
Prior to attending Dartmouth, everybody told me, "Your college friends become your lifelong friends." I thought sure they do, but why does college have to be that place? Dartmouth showed me how true that statement was. You live with these people, eat with them, study with them, hang out with them, and the list goes on. In such an environment, your close friends see you at your worst and at your best. They encourage you, they love with you, laugh with you, and cry with you, just like family would do. We are all maturing and experiencing this new environment together. When you are far from home, you need to have community. You need to have support systems so you know that you are not alone. As I am in my senior year, I have people at Dartmouth who mean the world to me. They are not just my friends, but my chosen family: brothers and sisters from many different backgrounds- all across the nation and the world. I knew that in going to NH, I would partake in very diverse networks and meet many new people, but I did not know what the depth these relationships would mean to me. My Dartmouth experience wouldn't be what it was without my friend family.
I hope this post helps you think through some of your college decisions. Feel free to reply below. I am happy I took the risk to go cross-country for school. Yet, I know that going to school far away from home may not be for everybody. Whatever your decision may be, may it be brave and the right one for you.
Until next time,

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Bolts Hire A Consultant To Fix The Business
by Paul on 01/30/07 at 01:34 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the Tampa Tribune,
Team president Ron Campbell said Monday, in response to a story by Sports Business Journal, that the team is not actively for sale despite the hiring of investment bank Galatioto Sports Partners.
A story appeared on the publication's Web site Monday, and will appear this week in print, with a headline that read: "Lightning owner considering sale option."
Campbell, however, said the hiring of GSP, which took place three months ago, is not about seeking a buyer for the franchise, but rather is on a consulting basis, a common practice the club has used to help in other areas of operations.
"The motivator in this is to fix the business, not sell the business," Campbell said.

A set of first blocks for infants. 12 Simple cubes in 6 classic colors for an infant to hold, build and tear down-thus learning the basics of stacking! Made in Germany of Beech-colored with non-toxic water based stain.
It all began in 1939 in Bad Rodach, Germany, with finely polished, colorful wooden toys, that were "finely sanded and polished wonderfully smooth, just right for tender children's hands," as the first catalogue emphasized.

Wonderful first blocks!

Comments about Baby's First Blocks:
This a great little set of blocks. They are beautiful, bright colors, and the finish has stood up beautiful to a lot of playing. My 1-year-old likes to "cook" them in a bowl, and they haven't chipped or gotten dull. They are a great size for little hands, and make a nice, stable stack. I would highly recommend these blocks.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Baby's First Blocks:
We have lots of toys for our 6+ old son but were looking for simple, basic wood blocks and couldn't find them until now. We have plenty of toys with patterns, flashing lights and sounds and realized that none of them really keep our son's interest.
He loves watching us stack the blocks and is really enjoying studying them on his own. I feel great about this purchase.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This should pop stock this morning once it hits locally. Would like more details, if anyone can provide.
You asked for more info. Wilbur was on CNBC Fast Money talking about the deal in China. I cannot post a link due to Yahoo restrictions, but search 'Partnering with China on nat gas' either on CNBC video or google.
As ever it's interesting to hear Wilbur's take.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
This was after the close yesterday?
Here's how I see this----
China brings $ and their key people over here and they do some JV wells gas liquids etc. They also get a good look at tggt ie midstream. Plus the soon to be exporting facilities in LA & TX
Take the team/technology back over to China & JV drill/build out mid stream ops.
While this is occurring the export to china 2014/15 is growing closer
By 2016 the price of nat gas/ngls globally will vary only slightly. My guess is $8-$10 today if it could traded globally-
"The globalization of Natural Gas"-----cook with it and heat your home with it.
If the global (ok, lets be truthful - ASIAN) price of NG is $10, then to be competitive US NG would need to be in the $4-$5 range today (assuming the exporters/shippers want to earn a decent IRR) and even lower once some of the proposed and under-construction export facilities come on line (Australia, Australia, Australia). Russia has had a grip on NG for a while and linking contracts to oil, but that is coming undone. There is plenty of research to examine that says the impact of exporting - to asia at least - will not do much to impact US domestic prices.
That said, I think WR is pretty shrewd going to the Chinese as they probably need XCO more than we need them (specifically). It will all depend on how the deal is structured and whether there is any dilutive effect. Why would Wilbur dilute himself? Well, if he's putting up $500mn...u can figure it out.....I still think the bonds are a steal here at 9%
DISC: Long XCO and XCO bonds and looking at the LNG transports
great and then in 5 years they'll say "go frac yourself"
We'll continue selling them better equipment & tech. Things break/get outdated etc.
