Power 10; Bottom 5
The 2004 ESPN.com rankings begin with the mighty Yankees and end with the pitiful Rangers.
Originally Published: April 2, 2004ESPN.com
The regular season is finally here. So who's the best, and who's the worst? ESPN.com contributing writer Phil Rogers kicks off our rankings with his Power 10 and Bottom 5, and all teams in between.
|ESPN.com Power 10
|Rogers' comment
|Given that $190 million payroll, there's surprisingly little depth in the starting rotation but it looks like one of the best lineups in history. It's amazing how little talk there has been about Gary Sheffield, who is as good of a bet to win the AL MVP as Alex Rodriguez.
|With Bartolo Colon and Kelvim Escobar at the front of the rotation, this might be the most complete team in the majors. Troy Percival looked shaky this spring, but don't be fooled. He'll turn it up once the season begins.
|Roy Oswalt looked great in spring training, as did Roger Clemens. The rotation is arguably eight deep, with Brandon Duckworth, Carlos Hernandez and Taylor Buchholz waiting in the wings.
|Red Sox
|Injuries to Nomar Garciaparra, Trot Nixon and Byung-Hyun Kim set a troubling tone for a team that hasn't done a good job getting its players under contract. The potential free agents after this season include Pedro Martinez, Derek Lowe, Scott Williamson, Jason Varitek, David Ortiz and Garciaparra.
|If Mark Prior is healthy and on form by Memorial Day, this should be the best team in the NL. But Dusty Baker and everyone in Cubs Nation are holding their breath about Prior. Look for a big year from Sammy Sosa, who is in terrific shape.
|Hard to believe you can be the world champions and underrated, but that appears the case. With Josh Beckett, Brad Penny, Dontrelle Willis and Carl Pavano on track, Florida is positioned to do something it never has -- win a division title.
|If you've got the Big Three, you've got a chance. But the A's have more questions than usual, with the biggest being the bullpen. Will Arthur Rhodes still be the closer in August?
|While 40-year-old Jamie Moyer remains the ace, few organizations have more good arms. Freddy Garcia appears poised for a significant comeback.
|Billy Wagner and Tim Worrell, who combined for 82 saves last year, are huge additions. This might be the deepest roster in the National League. But as long as Larry Bowa is the manager, it's hard to foresee smooth sailing.
|With the Cubs and Astros spending more every year, St. Louis' excellent management team has been hindered by ownership's spending restriction. The failure to sign Greg Maddux, after veterans offered to defer some of their salaries, was a late demoralizing blow.
|Go ahead, pull teams out of the hat in the NL West. They could finish in almost any order. But if any team has an edge, it's the one with a healthy Randy Johnson along with the unflappable Brandon Webb.
|This should be the year that the 12-year streak stops growing. But never count out a team run by Bobby Cox and John Schuerholz.
|Since J.T. Snow failed to make it home against Florida, San Francisco has had a huge talent drain. Rich Aurilia, Tim Worrell and Joe Nathan will be badly missed, and questions linger about Robb Nen and Jason Schmidt.
|Joe Mauer has had an ideal spring, and Ron Gardenhire once again has Minnesota winning. But it's hard to see this thin pitching staff, especially the bullpen, holding up for a full season. And remember this: only two teams have won division titles with rookie catchers since 1969.
|White Sox
|After underachieving under Jerry Manuel in recent years, the Sox are quietly poised to be a surprise. Frank Thomas has a perfect mindset for the season, and Mark Buehrle could join Esteban Loaiza to give the White Sox back-to-back 20-game winners.
|Blue Jays
|In another division, we'd be talking a lot about Vernon Wells, Kevin Cash, Josh Phelps and the rest of Toronto's good young players. But given the giants ahead of them, the only question is do they deal Carlos Delgado or find a way to keep him?
|Tony Pena opens the season with an all-lefty starting rotation while he waits for Kevin Appier to get healthy. Kansas City hopes to build off the momentum it built in the first half of last season, but history says teams that improve 20 games from one year to another almost never do better the next season.
|Given the lack of firepower, it appears this is a season when Los Angeles will have to take its lumps. Kevin Brown figures to be missed.
|Right on schedule, Ken Griffey Jr. left Monday's game with an injury. But the strained calf doesn't appear serious. If Griffey can reassert himself as an elite player, Cincinnati could be a pleasant surprise, especially if outfield mates Austin Kearns and Adam Dunn are also healthy.
|GM Omar Minaya continues to do an excellent job in an outrageous situation, but there's bound to be a slide without Vladimir Guerrero and Javier Vazquez. Lots of teams will also come around asking for middle infielders Jose Vidro and Orlando Cabrera at the trade deadline.
|Shawn Estes, a bust as a fifth starter for the Cubs, showed signs in spring training of being this year's Esteban Loaiza. Look for a big return from Scott Elarton and some Rookie of the Year mentions for second baseman Aaron Miles. It could add up to a winning season, and maybe even a rare taste of contention, for Colorado.
|This could be an interesting team, but it appears the pitching staff lags behind the lineup, which has added Miguel Tejada, Rafael Palmeiro and Javy Lopez. Kurt Ainsworth, added in the Sidney Ponson trade last year, could be a pleasant surprise now that he's healthy.
|Brian Giles may finally be on a team worthy of his approach. But this probably won't be the year that happens, not with David Wells (not Greg Maddux) as the centerpiece of the off-season renovations.
|A fast start is imperative for Alan Trammell's team. If starters Mike Maroth, Jeremy Bonderman, Jason Johnson and Nate Cornejo are solid, the Detroit revival could be baseball's top story at Memorial Day.
|With improved fielding and the arrival of pitching coach Rick Peterson from Oakland, Tom Glavine and Al Leiter could win 35 games between them. The health of Mike Piazza and Cliff Floyd is the great X-factor.
|ESPN.com Bottom 5
|Rogers' comment
|Devil Rays
|They've had veterans in the lineup before, but never as productive as they should be after adding Jose Cruz Jr., Robert Fick, Tino Martinez, Eduardo Perez and Rey Sanchez, among others. This could be the year they don't finish last.
|With Detroit's improvement, it seems more likely Cleveland will move downward rather than into the middle of the Central division. The Indians are paying four pitchers who won't throw a pitch in 2004 (Billy Traber, Brian Tallet, Mark Wohlers and Scott Sauerbeck) along with Bob Wickman, who's out until the All-Star break, and Bob Howry, who is also continuing to recover from elbow surgery.
|The starting pitching is decent, but this looks like the least productive lineup in the majors, especially if the Jason Kendall-to-Seattle rumors prove true. Don't be surprised if shortstop Jack Wilson represents Pittsburgh at the All-Star Game.
|The first four or five months of 2003 figure to be as dreadful as usual in Milwaukee but September, and maybe August, could be fun. A deep corps of prospects, highlighted by Rickie Weeks, Prince Fielder, J.J Hardy, Brad Nelson and Mike Jones is on its way.
|The lack of pitching means another Groundhog's Day season for the faithful in Texas. The Rangers will get beaten up early, as they play their first 19 games against Anaheim, Oakland and Seattle. And with Alex Rodriguez gone, a 100-loss season seems more likely than not.

In addition to Child Abuse Prevention Month, April is also Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, "The goal of SAAM is to raise public awareness about sexual violence and to educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence."
- Research suggests that sexual and domestic violence can be prevented by increasing the factors that protect people from developing violent behaviors. Healthy sexual education is very important. This pamphlet from the Massachusetts Sexual Violence Prevention Team offers tips on how to discuss healthy relationships with your loved ones. You can also download the entire Massachusetts Sexual Violence Prevention Plan.
- Massachusetts is committed to preventing sexual assault and providing resources to its victims. Explore this list of sexual and domestic violence programs and services offered by the state. Additional local and national organizations are listed here.
- For counseling services, support groups, and advocacy services, please call the nearest rape crisis center. Each center is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In April 2012, the Executive Office of Health and Human Services published a blog post on increasing the dialogue on sexual assault awareness and prevention. It is as relevant today as it was a year ago and well worth a read. Together we can work to prevent sexual violence.
If you or someone you know has been the victim of sexual assault or domestic violence, help is available. Call the SafeLink Hotline 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (877) 785-2020 for support.

Catholics in the Military (www.catholicmil.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=185)
6/26/2009 (5 years ago)
Published in U.S.
ST. PAUL (Catholics in the Military) - Father Vakoc, a Minnesota Army chaplain who was seriously injured in Iraq in 2004, died June 20. No cause of death was given. Family and friends were with him when he died, according to his CaringBridge Web site.
Visitation is from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, June 25, at Gearty-Delmore Funeral Chapel, 15800 37th Ave. N., in Plymouth. A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Friday, June 26, at the Cathedral of St Paul. Interment will be at Fort Snelling National Cemetery, 7601 34th Ave South, Minneapolis.
Father Vakoc, 49, had been living at the St. Therese of New Hope nursing facility in New Hope. He lost an eye and sustained brain damage when a roadside bomb exploded near his Humvee on May 29, 2004, as he was returning to his barracks after celebrating Mass for U.S. soldiers.
In recent years, Father Vakoc (pronounced VAH-kitch) had been showing signs of physical and cognitive improvement.
A June 11 entry on Father Vakoc's CaringBridge site noted that he participated with family and friends in a special Mass June 10 celebrating the 17th anniversary of his ordination, five years of post-accident life and appreciation for all those who were contributing to his care.
�A man of peace'
"All of us in this Catholic archdiocese are grieving with the family of Father Vakoc," Archbishop John Nienstedt said in a statement. "We are joined in that grieving, to be sure, by the men and woman whom he served as chaplain in Iraq and those who witnessed his extraordinary courage and faith at Walter Reed Hospital and here at our Veterans' Hospital."
Calling Father Vakoc "a man of peace," Archbishop Nienstedt said "he chose to endure the horror of war in order to bring the peace of Christ to America's fighting men and women. He has been an inspiration to us all and we will miss him.
"We ask everyone to remember him in prayer," he added.
Praying with soldiers
Father Vakoc was born Henry Timothy Vakoc Jan. 8, 1960, and attended Our Lady of the Lake in Mound. He graduated from Benilde-St. Margaret's School in St. Louis Park in 1978 and then attended St. Cloud State University. Prior to entering seminary, he worked with college students and university officials as the regional president of Tau Kappa Epsilon international fraternity. He was an avid traveler.
After his ordination in 1992, he served as an associate pastor at St. Charles Borromeo in St. Anthony and St. John Neumann in Eagan from 1993 to 1996 before joining the Army.
His military service took him to Germany, Bosnia and Korea. He was stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash., when he was called up for active duty in Iraq in 2003. He was the first Army chaplain to be seriously injured in Iraq.
According to a National Catholic Register story printed just a month before his own accident, Father Vakoc flew to a combat surgical hospital to be with two soldiers who had just been injured in a roadside bombing in which two others had been killed. One died before he reached the hospital.
He prayed for the soldiers who died and with the injured soldier, and then prayed with the other soldiers in the convoy who were not injured, but "in the state of shock."
Father Vakoc's ministry - which earned him the rank "major" - also included presiding at a memorial service for a young man killed in a roadside explosion, who just days before had talked about faith with Father Vakoc and read at Mass.
"The bottom line in helping these soldiers through the grieving process is to be present to them and walk with them," Father Vakoc told the Register in an e-mail. "I prayed with the soldiers who died. I brought the sacraments of the church and the light and love of Christ into the darkness of the situations."
�Intentional presence'
Father Vakoc called his ministry one of "intentional presence," and it included counseling soldiers, ministering to Catholics and soldiers of all faiths, escorting the bodies of fallen soldiers, speaking with soldiers' family members and keeping up morale.
"I live with the soldiers, work with them, eat with them, care for them, listen to them, counsel them," Father Vakoc told the Register. "The soldiers know if you are real and genuinely care or not. The soldiers see me out there with them and that makes a difference."
The day Father Vakoc was injured in Mosul, Iraq, the two soldiers traveling with him were not harmed and administered first aid to him, Jeff Vakoc told The Catholic Spirit in June 2004.
"They couldn't wait for the medics or they would have lost him, so they drove him back on two flat tires to the base, and he was flown to Baghdad from there." Father Vakoc underwent surgery to relieve brain swelling at a U.S. Army hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, before being flown to Washington, D.C. He eventually went into the care of the Veterans' Hospital and St. Therese of New Hope nursing facility.
�A reason he's alive'
The date of his injuries was also the 12th anniversary of his priesthood. Just days after Father Vakoc was injured, Jeff told The Catholic Spirit that he felt God put his brother in Iraq, and he was doing what he was supposed to do there.
"There's got to be a reason he's alive," he said. "I've got to believe there's a purpose." He still believes that, he told The Catholic Spirit June 22.
"He just plain old inspired a lot of people towards the Lord," he said. "There are a lot of people who were very needy spiritually, and just his example and fortitude and strength really played on that for a lot of people and helped them along."
Jeff's own faith grew during the five years after his brother's injury, he said. "I think it has brought me closer to the Lord. I've seen things that are miracles - little things, but I think that's how miracles come. It's changed the entire family."
It is a tremendous feeling to know people are praying for him and his family, Jeff said. "We're going to miss him. He was a part of our lives," he said.
Jeff visited his brother every week as his guardian and conservator, he said. Members of the Franciscan Brothers of Peace also visited and prayed regularly with Father Vakoc, who followed along in a prayer book and mouthed the words.
The Franciscan Brothers of Peace were friends with Father Vakoc's sister, Anita Brand, at the time of his injury, said Brother Paul O'Donnell. Because of his pro-life work, Brother Paul consulted on Father Vakoc's medical care shortly after the accident. After his condition stabilized, the brothers continued to visit him regularly to pray and help with exercises.
Those who knew Father Vakoc before his accident described him as having a sense of humor and an inclination to reach out to others. Those qualities were still evident after his injuries, Brother Paul said, describing how he would joke with the brothers.
Along with his family, the brothers advocated on Father Vakoc's behalf to continue to receive physical therapy, Brother Paul said.
"His greatest gift is that he accepted the cross that God gave him, and for any one of us, it would be a tremendous hardship, but he accepted it," he said. "He obviously had a strong, strong will to live."
Father Vakoc taught others about the value and sacredness of life, Brother Paul added. "We can learn from Father Tim to embrace the crosses that come our way," he said. "They may not be the end of our life - they may be a new beginning."
Members of Franciscan Brothers of Peace spent time with Father Vakoc just a few days before his death, and three of them were present at his bedside when he died.
A changed ministry
The brothers feel as if they have lost a very close friend, Brother Paul said. He recalled Father Vakoc placing his hand on the brothers' heads and blessing them. They asked him to pray for them, too.
"When people saw him, they became grateful for their own lives, no matter what they were experiencing," he said. "His ministry didn't end at the time of his injury; it just changed."
Father Vakoc received the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. He also received the 2007 Distinguished Alumnus Award from St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity and the Combat Action Badge in 2007, which is awarded to soldiers actively engaged in a hostile action by the enemy in a combat zone or imminent danger area.
Jeff is very proud of his brother, he said. "We all wished he had been around more, but he was doing what he considered his calling," he said.
While stationed in Bosnia, Father Vakoc told his sister, "The safest place for me to be is in the center of God's will, and if that is in the line of fire, that is where I will be."

WAsraNOTON, April 7.-The time de-Toted to the consideration of the Florida nominations in the senate during the week just ended was taken from the time which would have been devoted to general executive business, so that the executive calendar is now pretty well crowded with nominations. To dispose of these will be one of the chief duties of the senate during this week. So far as is known there are no nominations on the calendar over which there is likely to be a dispute, and the business of the secret session will, therefore, be disposed of in all likelihood at a rapid rate. Several secret sessions of an hour or so each during the week will serve to clear the ca endar of most of the nominations now pending. In the meantime, in open session, the consideration of the Mon tana elections cont st will be continued. Severiil senators are booked for long Bpeeclies and the debate may extend to t> e end of the week. Among those wlio have indicated their intention to speak are Senator Spooner, Senator Evarts, Senator Teller and Senator Ingalls on the Republican side, and Senators Vest. Vance, George, Turpie, and Jones of Arkansas on the Democratic side of the chamber. The elections contest will have fight-of way after 2 o'clock each day, but Mr. Hale will call up before that hour, probably on Tuesday, the house bill for the enumerati; u of Chinese, which he thinks will lead loo little debate. The bill has been amended in -the senate committee until very little of the original measure is left. It will probably go through the senate in this form and be deter ined finnlly in conference. : An effort will be made during the week to persuade the senate devote some time-probably a part to Bain & Ketcham LUMBER WAGONS, MARSEILLES AND ADAMS, Hand anilfower Sliellers and Feed Hills, SUr, ChanipioD and Adams i��iiid Wills. ^Ip^^'HBnd'and Underground Force Pump, � BRASS CYLINDER POMP.

Cliundler on Reciprocity. Washinuton, April 7. - Senator Chandler says that the first information he had had on the subject of the proposition to establish reciprocity as aiii oflF-set to the proposed duty on hides was that .Which he obtained from reading the United Press dispatch on the subject. "I have nut given the subject extended consideration," he said, "und I would not care lo pass judgm-nt upon it without careful consideration. 1 should be inclined to say, although, that we could well afford to establish reciprocal relations wi h any of the countries of the Western Hemisphere which would adopt our tariff system and scUed-ulcB. I am' quite inclin d to believe that it would e wise to establisb these relations with all thecountrjes between the bor-deis of Canada and the Isthmua of Pau-ania. It would not ba in any sense aq . abandonment of any part of our system of protection, and it would guar'utee to; us the almost exclusive trade of those countries. In extending the boundaries of our tariff system along so much mo.re of coas' line, we would .of course liave to undertake the added responsibility of protecting ourselves from smuggling; ^DUt I am inclined to think that we would reup a great advantagd fiom the re- Geu. Rnnm's Arrangements for tlio Rapid Disposition of CIuiuiH, WasuiNijton, April 7.-Gen. Raum commissioner of pensions, submitted to Secretary Noble a report of the rapid progress recently made in adjudicating claims. Gen. Raum says: On the 28d of December last I issued an order requirii.g that an examination of the claims pending in the office should be made and that all cases which appeared to be complete should be placed upon what I deiiomiuated the "completed files." As a result of this examination 30,857 cases were placed upon tliis list, and the adjudicating div sions were required to spend five days in each wtek in their examination. Some days later I issued a further or der which provided that claims would be placed upon the "completed files" upon the application of the cl limants or theif attorneys, upon a proner state i.ent of facts showing that the cases were complete. Since the issuing of that order 25,850 cases have, upon motion, been placed upon the "complet d files," in all 511,207. Dur ng the past three mouths 52.229 of these cases have been acted upon, and there now remains but 3,978 cases on the "completed files," and applications at a rate, upon an .average, of 450 per day are received for placing cases upon i hese files. These orders also required that a day each week should be devoted by the adjudicating divisions exclusiv ly to making calls for additional evidence in pending claims. As a rosut of thi arrangement for the tra saotion of the business of the office, we are now sending out calls in about Hf y thousand cases per month and adjusting over sixteen thou'sand per month, 80 that we are actually handling about sixty-six thousand cases per month. During the month ju t ended lti,394 pension cevtiflcatt's were issued, being, as I find f om the records, the largest month's work ever performed by the bureau. Of these 8,183 were upon original appications. During the pas' five days ijj.iio certificates were issued, ot wliich 2,101 were originals. I take pleasure in i forming jrou that the business of the office is nowin such a condition that every claim placed upon the "completed fiU's" will be taken up and acted upon within the week following the day it is so placed upon the files. As the business is now arranged in the office, I will ba abe, by the last of May, to cause the examination of every claim pending in the office on the first day of January last and have every claim allowed that is completed. It is proper to statp that I now have a section in each adjudicating division for issuing orders for medical examination in all pending claims for increase of pension. These examinations when made will fix the date upon which the increase of pension will begin, where parties are entitled to increase, and in a very short time the work of ordering these examinations will dispose of the accumulated business, after which time the ^orders for exami ation ill new cases will be made from day to day as the cases are filed in the office. _______ CloHo-Mimthed Offlnhas.. . Washington, April 7.-The state department is like a clam. It is practically shut up. The officials who are csy of access are not at liberty to say anything for publication and Sei'retary Blaine, who is. is not to be seen, All efforts to find out anything about the recent or pending negotiations about the fisheries question, or the seal fishery quaaiion in Behring sea, or the reciprocity negotiations with South American republics, have been futile. The state department officials will not even admit that such negotiations are in progress. They have even gone so far as to refuse to affirm that Mr. Charles Tupner was in Washington, whoa he coud be seen any day at tlie Arlington hotel, from which he has made frequent visits to the residence of Secretary Blaine, half a square distant. In fact, but little or no information of public intere^-t s given out from the state department, and Secretary Blaine, who was the medium of communication between, the public and the secreta y, has lost in the tstimation of many of his warmest friends, much reputation by his secretive ess about affairs of which the public had a right to be informed.

This was resisted by the Democrats, and finally Speaker Hamilton ruled thdt tiie bill should go on the calenda,r. It may he reached before the close of the session or it may not, bu if it is reached there seems to be little question that it v ill be indefl-niiely postponed by the same vote as that by which thd committee disposed of it.

The government appears to have a blind spot. It should look at the map of Hong Kong and see that 90 per cent of our land resources of nearly 110,000 hectares are in the New Territories, most of which remain undeveloped.

Error #0x80004005
Hi Folks,
Yup, it's me again with a computer/OS/SBC problem that is causing mental problems.
Quick update on the machine and server. X-P SP3, Outlook Express and SBCGlobal.net. I have been getting the 0x80004005 error message off and on for the past three months. I call the hot line and wait a lifetime for an agent to help me. They all say SBC does not support Outlook Express. I explain I had OE when I signed up for their service, why do they not support it now? None of the agents have answered that to my satisfaction, however, for a few bucks per month (I can't remember the exact amount) I can subscribe to their service to get help for OE. That sounded like blackmail to me. They have always helped me get my mail program working, only for a day or two. The past few days I have been researching this issue with the help of Google, many folks seem to think this error is a problem with the server.
Have any of you had this problem? If so, how did you rectify it?
Once again, thanks for the great help.
Where or when do you get that error ? Seems same error number shows for many things but....
First page on a search.. Microsoft:
Error code 0x80004005
This problem may occur if a file that the Windows Product Activation (WPA) requires is damaged or missing. This behavior occurs if one or both of the following conditions are true: �A third-party backup utility or an antivirus program interferes with the installation of Windows XP.
�A file that WPA requires is manually modified.
There's a whole bunch of supposedly fixes.. one is... eHow says turn off System Restore, reboot.. then turn system restore back on.
Does this error have a popup message when you're checking email ?? or when/where do you see it.
I would not try turning off system restore if you do that you will wipe out all the restore points on the pc, then should you need to use one you are out of luck. Unless that is an absolute for sure fix I wouldn't go through that.
Have you considered moving to another email client, outlook express is so old and outdated, there's other options.
I sure would not pay any extra to your isp for additional help, that's ridiculous and I doubt they would fix anything, they would tell you to go with a newer supported email.
Why don't you just use the email provided by the isp online?
RC, thanks for the response.
You said "Outlook Express is so old and outdated" that describes me to a "T". The reason I use Outlook Express is that's the only mail program I have used since purchasing my first computer many years ago. I can do a pretty good job of writing letters and even forwarding attatchments when needed. I question my ability to learn another progam.
When you mentioned using the email provided by my isp, would that be SBC/Yahoo? If not, what one would you recommend.
It would be SBC/Yahoo. Go to this page and put in your username and password and you will be signed in to that account and can check out if you want to use it. You can try it out and go back to OE if you don't like it. Or you can try something like thunderbird which is easy to configure and see if you like it.
I see you had already tried it while I was typing. I could never manage to send email bcc from there. That's why I started using Thunderbird. I send a newsletter to a group of people and do not want all their email addresses showing up. With Thunderbird I send it to a mailing list bcc. Try it, it's easy to configure. It will ask for your email address and password and find all the other information it needs.
yes for some reason they all want to hide the Bcc options and I really have no idea why because that is the way to send multiple emails properly so addresses are not displayed for everyone.
this article will help you out a lot it has a lot of yahoo shortcuts and one is how to toggle off and on BCC.
Yahoo! Mail
I just went to my yahoo to check how it is done, when you choose to compose a new email along the very top above the TO: line there is a tiny little blue line that says show BCC click that and voila you now have a BCC line. You have to really look for those things.
another way is click on the TO: itself that will open your contacts before each name is a box you can tick for those options and there is the BCC option also.
Making this change now even though it is leaning something new is good because if you get a new pc with 7 or above you no longer have the option of using OE so you are ahead of the game. And you can check your email from anywhere on any pc which is good if you are away from home.

Help me find the right receiver!! Please!
So, I'd like to get my husband a new receiver as a gift. I talked to the guy at Best Buy and he suggested the Harman Kardon AVR-254. Does anyone have an opinion before I spend $500?
This is for our bonus room where we have surround sound speakers.
It's impossible to answer that question without more information. You mentioned 'surround sound speakers', 5.1, 6.1, 7.1? Speaker size/impedance? What other components will be connected to the receiver? Do you need/want HDMI switching? Dolby TrueHD/DTS HD Master Audio decoding?
Personally -- this may just be me -- I don't like others purchasing things for me that I am expected to enjoy unless I have approved the purchase or have return privileges. (The Spouse bought me a birthday dinner a restaurant recently. She handed me the menu and asked me to make the selection.)

Where Does Microsoft Want You To Go Today?; The New Strategy: Keep Web Surfers Busy With a Series Of MSN Sites
By SAUL HANSELL
Published: November 16, 1998
Haven't we seen this screen before?
The latest Internet initiative from the Microsoft Corporation is an all-in-one service that combines news, information, shopping, bulletin boards and electronic mail. Even its name sounds familiar: MSN.
Of course, MSN was originally the banner for one of Microsoft's most embarrassing missteps, a subscription-based on-line service meant to crush America Online. But that service, introduced three years ago, was slow, buggy and hard to use, and it fell far behind the competition -- on one side from America Online and on the other from the emerging World Wide Web.
Shifting its focus to the Internet, Microsoft then poured money into elaborate entertainment offerings, but few people looked at them. After canceling those, the company built a series of Internet services meant to be useful, like the Sidewalk local-entertainment guide and the Expedia travel agency.
Now, it seems, there's no page like home.
The company has realized that on the Web, the power and the money are going to search engines like Yahoo, which have added so many features they are beginning to look like just the sort of on-line service MSN was three years ago. So Microsoft has reversed itself again and is stitching its disparate Internet services back into a unified network, which it reintroduced in September under the name MSN.
The service has hardly taken the world by storm, and it may face additional questions. Last week, Pete Higgins, the top Microsoft executive who looked after the company's on-line efforts, announced that he would take a six-month leave of absence beginning in January and then return in an unspecified capacity.
For now, the on-line business will report to Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's president, who is widely seen as more hard charging and confrontational than Mr. Higgins.
Mr. Higgins says that his departure reflects no more than a desire to take a break to spend time with his family and tend his salmon farm. But in a sign that Microsoft may see the need for a more significant change, Mr. Ballmer said that the company was searching for an outsider to replace Mr. Higgins.
''Pete has us on a nice trajectory,'' Mr. Ballmer said. ''All we're trying to do is pump up the volume as we move forward.''
Microsoft's trouble in gaining traction for its Web effort stands in sharp contrast to the speed with which its Internet Explorer Web-browsing software has been able to surge past its main competitor, the browsers offered by the Netscape Communications Corporation. The Justice Department, of course, has been arguing that Microsoft improperly used the market power of its Windows operating system to extend its domination into the browser market.
But while the new MSN has the seeming advantage of being reachable by a single mouse click from the Internet Explorer browser that comes loaded on every new Windows PC, it remains uncertain how many Web surfers will choose to make that click. After all, the initial MSN on-line service also had the enviable asset of a start button on the main screen of Windows 95.
Microsoft's biggest advantage in its Web effort, however, may be the popularity of some of its individual Web sites. Most notably, the Hotmail E-mail service Microsoft bought last year signs up 150,000 new users a day. Taken together, the Microsoft sites constitute the third-most-popular network on the Internet after America Online and Yahoo, according to Media Metrix, the rating service based in New York.
Not that all this was planned. Microsoft is the master of the so-called ready-fire-aim business model. The company introduces a hastily conceived product and then, through a war of attrition affordable perhaps only to a company with a stock market value of $274 billion, methodically hunts down the bugs until a version of the product finally wins the minds, if not the hearts, of the computing masses.
This trial-and-error approach has convinced Microsoft that Web sites are in fact mainly another form of software. That is a sharp contrast to the approach taken by Yahoo, Disney and most other purveyors of what are called ''portals'' -- a media-network approach to the business that is based on gathering and retaining as large an audience as possible to sell to advertisers.
Microsoft says it hired many media types but learned, for example, that what brings people back to Sidewalk is not witty reviews or flashy graphics but sophisticated programs that help people find the events they are looking for and then display a map of nearby restaurants.
The other sites that have worked well for the company allow customers to use software to search for airplane tickets, cars, home mortgages and the like.
Microsoft sees MSN as closer to an extension of its Office suite of programs than as a magazine or an on-line television channel. This plays into its current thinking about how it will turn MSN's losses -- which it declines to quantify -- into profits. First, all those programs that help people find things to buy, like Expedia and so on, put Microsoft in a position to earn fees from each transaction.
And second, it sees a host of new computerized services that can be delivered over the Internet as part of what the chairman, William H. Gates, calls the company's megaserver strategy.

Does anyone use GnuCash for their family finances?
zaleonJune 28, 2011
I've been using GnuCash for our family finances a while now and was wondering what the experiences of other users are. I use it because of the double entry accounting it is based on, and because it is free!! It gives me headaches from time to time, mainly because I'm no accountant, but the reports it gives I find extremely useful. Of course these are useful reports only if one takes the time to enter information accurately and timeously

NEW YORK (AP) — Jake Sasseville had it all planned out: He'd been working for a year on a TV show based on his life, and he was going to get it on the air in a unique fashion — by buying network time.
Actor-comedian Jake Sasseville launches web series
He purchased eight 30-minute blocks on ABC Family to launch "Delusions of Grandeur." It was set to debut Oct. 4 at 1 a.m. EDT, but the network pulled it two weeks before the airdate, Sasseville said.
"I got a ton of emails from the legal team who all of a sudden chose ... that the show was not going to air," the 26-year-old said of the show, which has now found on home on Blip, a website for original series. "And this was after I paid for the time."
ABC Family, which is owned by Disney, said in a statement that Sasseville's show didn't air "because it did not meet our standards for programming for time buy purchases." The network didn't provide details. He did receive a refund, however.
Sasseville was using the time buy and paid programming format, where the purchaser buys airtime and gets sponsors, but the network retains control. He used the format for "The Edge With Jake Sasseville" in 2008, which aired on ABC affiliates following "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and for "Late Night Republic," which aired on MyNetworkTV and Fox stations from August 2010 to October 2011.

Hosta fertilizer???
sunshine408(z3 MN)June 8, 2005
What kind of fertilizer should I use on my hostas? Some of them just look as if they need a little nourishment.
sunshine408(z3 MN)
Thank you Mary Anne for the info. I have looked up the hosta forums and found the recipe for alfalfa tea but am not sure how often to use it. I have it now brewing in my garage and will feed all of my hostas in about 3 days. Do I use it again this summer or is it only a one time thing every season?
officewench(Z3 AB)
Hosta generally don't need much if any fertilizer, just lots of water, water, water and more water. If you want to amend the soil, compost is good.
How old are the plants? There's a hosta saying: the first year they sleep, the second they creep, the third year they leap.

Having owned an original 7 inch Nook that I fully converted to 4.1 and now the very satisfied owner of an HD+ that I fully converted to 4.2.2 some time ago, is there any "real world" advantage to moving up to 4.4 with the following considerations:
1. Under a fully transformed eMMc 4.2.2, I am experiencing no operational problems or issues.
2. My primary use for the HD+ is reading using both the Nook and Kindle apps, occasionally watching movies using the MX Player app, using a small handful of other apps primarily for current events and weather, email, and using the larger screen to view digital photos taken on my trips.
Under 4.2.2, it handles all of the above with few, if any, real hiccups.
If my actual day-to-day usage remains as above, will 4.4 really offer any substantive changes?
With that said, have I finally arrived at the "leave well enough alone" time in my ongoing transformations and updates?
Thanks in advance for any relevant comments and/or advice.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
With Medicare open enrollment season upon us right now (October 15th-December 7th) many seniors age 65+ are reviewing the many Medicare programs available to them. They have been inundated with marketing materials from the many health insurance companies out there to persuade them to sign up or to change their plans for the next year, effective starting January 1st 2013.
Some think that when they turn 65 that all their health insurance needs will be taken care of by the US government via Medicare. That may work in Israel but unfortunately not here in the United States. Medicare part A, which covers hospital needs, is automatically given to those who are turning 65 and have worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least forty quarters, or are disabled and have received Social Security Disability payments for two years. Medicare Part B, which covers physician care and major medical needs such as lab, diagnostic tests and durable medical equipment (DME), requires those who are eligible to enroll within three months of turning 65. Those who fail to enroll within three months of turning 65 may be subject to a premium penalty when they enroll in the future. The plan costs anywhere between $99-$319 monthly depending on one's prior year's income.
This penalty would apply to those who enroll in the Medicare part D drug plan as well if they enroll more than 3 months after they become eligible. Part D plans cover the cost of most prescription drugs, up to certain limits, subject to co-pays and sometimes deductibles.
Medicare Part B will usually pay for 80% of the cost of the Medicare approved contracted rate, and the member is responsible to pay the 20% difference to the provider, unless he has bought an optional Medicare supplement plan which pays that 20%. Here is an example of how traditional Medicare Part B works. Suppose a Medicare patient goes to a doctor for an office visit, for which the doctor would bill Medicare $150. Medicare will process the claim and send an explanation of benefits (EOB) to the doctor allowing $120 for the visit (the contracted rate) and pay 80% of that charge, $96 to the doctor. He will then either bill the patient the remaining $24 or bill it to the patient's supplement plan, if he has one. The remaining $30 from the original $150 charge must be written off by the doctor because he agreed to accept Medicare assignment.
Two popular "Medicare Supplement" (also known as Medigap) plans are "F" and "N" which will both pay 100% of this 20% coinsurance with one major difference being that plan N has a $20 co-pay for the doctor visit while plan F has no co-pay at all. Another major benefit of most "Medicare Supplement" plans is that they cover 100% of the part A $1,132 annual deductible, and many other additional costs to the patient that Medicare Part A & B do not cover.
There are quite a few Medigap plans that have variable benefits and even a popular high deductible plan F that keeps the premiums very low.
For a complete list of the covered benefits of all the plans please do not hesitate to contact me at my office number listed below this article.
In addition to all the above, Medicare Advantage plans, otherwise know as Part C plans, combine the Part A and B coverages, and sometimes even the Part D prescription drug coverage into one program which a Medicare eligible person can choose as an alternative to the traditional benefits of parts A, B, C, and D. Each Medicare Advantage plan is run by a private insurance company authorized by Medicare to provide the Medicare Advantage benefits as described in their plan from its own network of doctors and other health care providers.
Medicare Advantage plans will differ with regard to the number of in-network doctors and other providers they have in your area, the co-pays and deductibles they will require from you for different types of medical services and prescription drugs (for those plans including Part D coverage), and the monthly premium you will be charged by the insurance company, in addition to the basic $99+ Part B premium you will still be required to pay. Specific Medicare Advantage programs may also provide other benefits not included at all by traditional Medicare coverage, such as basic gym membership.
