Schumacher announces Formula One retirement
Not surprising, after the news about Hamilton and his performance the past few seasons.
What the hell happened with him in Singapore?
Schumacher announces Formula One retirement
Not surprising, after the news about Hamilton and his performance the past few seasons.
What the hell happened with him in Singapore?
pretty safe to assume this was going to happen after hamiltons move. bummer, would have loved to see him get a victory. at least he got a podium once
It was good to see him come out of retirement and finish mediocre most of the time due to having a mediocre car. Kind of proved what I thought all along that it was the car that made him the fastest driver.
In comparison of the late 70's when Gilles Villeneuve had the ****tiest car (Ferrari) and literally drove the wheels off it to win.
Who is that guy? Ralf's brother?

also look at the difference between alonso and massa. driver does still play a big difference, but having a fast car obviously helps

As a generalization 40% of the drivers in F1 could do every bit as well or better than the points leader if they were in the points leader's car. This has held true for a number of years.
The years of Fangio, Senna, Villeneuve, etc. are long gone. The cars have so many driving aids now that the machines make up the majority of the variance between lap times. Yes it still takes a skilled driver but let's face it, they're all fairly equally skilled for the most part.
Nobody could do duplicate what Villeneuve, Senna, or Fangio did in a car. No one on the grid. Period.

I realize many changes have been made to make the competition more exciting (and quite successfully). I'm a fan of F1 again in recent years, I really lost interest during the "Parade" days of the early to mid 2000s.
Fangio was in the best car, when he was not he would leave a team to go to a better car, so did Senna. And Schumacher did drive the wheels off his inferior Ferrari from 96-99. The fact that the was contending in those years when Ferrari was inferior to Williams and McLaren by some margin is still the difference a driver could make.
Schumacher's best car was still a large part from his own doing. They used to TEST 30,000 kms a year. Now they don't test anymore. You can't out work somebody to build your performance edge. The whole system doesn't work the same way it does from his previous career. And he is still a 40+ years old. F1 now though is no doubt much more competitive than the previous era. In the old days when you are 3-4 tenth off someone, you would maybe be going from 1st to 3rd or 4th. These days you can have a 4 tenth gap from pole and you'll be in the teens. The amount of the performance he might have lost through age or preparation is tough to make up. On top of a pretty under-performing Mercedes team....
Anyway it was probably a good time to call it quit. He is making much more mistake than he was used to, and even if he is now as competitive as he ever was with Rosberg in this 3 years pace wise, the team is still pretty not going to be a front runner consistently...and it'll just be terrible if he has to drive for Sauber or something...
Bottom line: Schumacher had an unparallelled talent (in his prime). True, the car played a huge roll in many cases (seasons), but there were years in there that he made some masterful drives in a fairly sh***y car.
Good point about Massa/Fisichella and now Alonso/Massa. Still a driver's sport! Not a computer driving around the track...
I was thrilled to see him come back and work with Ross Brawn once more, but it has been painful and depressing watching him perform at a mediocre level after so many dominant years. Still, Rosberg hasn't done much better in that car...
The carpet pissers did this?!
I don't think you can dismiss Fangio as it being the "best car". There are drivers who win by mediocre margins with the car barely twitching (Schumacher) and then there are drivers who slide, twitch, near miss and fight their way to the finish by a large margin using every ounce of tire/throttle the car had. (Villeneuve/Fangio/Senna). Go watch a video of Senna trying to find traction mid corner on and off the throttle.
Villeneuve was ****ing crazy and it ended up killing him. He wasn't happy unless he found the limit and stepped over it. His theory was if you didn't find the limit how did you know how fast you could go?
The cars Fangio drove were extremely challenging. To say they were "the best" is a moot point. He drove the wheels off them and was head and shoulders above the competition, with a reputation as "The best driver of all time" that is still held in high regard 60 years later. 1957 German Grand Prix comeback at the Nurburgring. The "car" didn't make up that gap.
I can't think of a single "masterful" drive that Schumacher had that made me say "holy ****, did he actually just pull that off?" He was a sore loser (running Villeneuve off track) and carried too inflated of an ego IMO.
I'm not one to base who the best driver was on a bunch of trophies or points totals. That's like saying the best hockey player of all time was Wayne Gretzky. That's hugely up for debate as the guy never got so much as bumped into during the majority of his career, politics played a huge role.
When we discuss a guy like Villeneuve we're talking about a legendary driver in the sport. A legendary driver who had 6 wins. Hardly dominant, hardly something to even brag about. Raplh Schumacher had 6 ****ing wins and he's nobody.
These guys are legends and excellent drivers because of how they drove. Not their points totals, not their years of championships. Simply how they drove the car.

Some of the many reasons why I didn't like him, poor sportsmanship. A true "Champion" wouldn't resort to such B.S. to win.
1994: After hitting the Adelaide wall and terminally damaging his car, smashes into Damon Hill to secure his first world title.
1997: Cynically slams into Jacques Villeneuve in a failed bid to win the world championship. Is stripped of his second place in the championship by the FIA.
2002: Takes advantage of Ferrari team orders to pass team-mate Rubens Barrichello yards from the chequered flag in Austria for a victory greeted by boos from the crowd.
2002: Inexplicably attempted to engineer a dead heat at Indianapolis, only to lose out to Barrichello by 0.011 seconds.
2006: Parks his Ferrari across the track in Monaco in an attempt to disrupt qualifying and retain pole position. Sent to the back of the grid by stewards.
And yes you can have flashes of genius in a crappy car for memorable drives. But you don't pull together a championship run. Senna was not a title contender that 1984 season neither. 96's Ferrari was a POS, Irvine finished less than 50% of the races. MSC had 5 DNF, 1 DNS that year. He had 4/16 poles with that car scored 4 wins, of the 11 races that was finished, he finished outside of podium twice and finished 3rd in the championship. That year's winning Williams had the rest of the poles and wins(bar Panis in Monaco), and DH and JV finished 1-2.
I can hop in my 74 Datsun Z and then hop in my dad's new Nissan 370Z and see the obvious ability to corner faster and put down a faster lap. That's a given.
How does that discredit anything I said about them being great drivers?
As cars progress we may never see that kind of excitement or driver skill again in motorsports. A lot of the "seat of the pants feel" for a car has been shadowed by technology. I mean F1 is the mecca of technology in motorsports and we should progress forward.
I'll put it this way. I, myself, do not think any F1 driver today could hop in the very cars that those men drove (Fangio/Senna/Villeneuve) and make the car dance the same dance on the edge the way those drivers did.
It's all a matter of opinion, i'm not really arguing anything. You can't argue that he won championships, he did. It's not that he isn't a good driver, he is. I just don't think he's the best of all time or really anything that special.

Justin Timberlake beams during his standout return at Sunday's Grammy Awards. Photo: Getty Images.
Still haven't heard who won? Then read our rundown here or peruse the complete list.
But you don't really care who won, right? You watched the 55th annual Grammy Awards for one thing: performances. You've got your favorites, I've got mine, ranked in this 2013 report card.
"The Weight": The moment below this one had far more infectious energy, but this one edges it out with glowing spirit. To cap the memorial portion, an image of Levon Helm finishing the somber necrology, Elton John – while dashing off marvelous Leon Russell-esque runs – led an all-star cast through a terrifically soulful rendition of the Band classic, with Zac Brown leading each round of stacked chorus harmonies.
Mavis Staples is a treasure, Marcus Mumford tried to match her gospel growl and held his own, and Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard outdid 'em both on the "Crazy Chester" verse, nailing high notes the way Ms. Staples used to. With Brown and Mumford beaming on either side of her, the legend looked on approvingly, and for a moment a torch was passed. Then Sir Elton, who had also dedicated the rousing performance to lost ones at Sandy Hook, took it on home. A superb send-off.
Bruno Mars & Sting & Bob Marley: Earlier Justin Timberlake, in a spectacular return to the stage, had given Mars a run for his money, ratcheting up the retro-soul feel till it felt classic and fresh all at once. A tall order for Bruno to fill – but then he nails it with one mighty wail of the chorus from "Locked Out of Heaven," so catchy the camera spotted Adele and Keith Urban side by side unabashedly singing along. Enter Sting, and unlike so many other mash-ups this night, the segue into "Walking on the Moon" was liquid smooth, like the two tracks were meant to mate.
As happened with Elton on his Ed Sheeran duet (see below, way below), the English icon had a hint of trouble adapting his soaring tone and more relaxed phrasing to Mars' pulse-racing tune. Then again, he also walked out cold and straight into a pumping mix.
He slid seamlessly into his Police classic, and the whole ensemble really ignited on "Could You Be Loved," Rihanna further asserting her vocal credentials and Marley sons Ziggy and Damian emerging all fired up, the latter toasting away with fury. Like "The Weight," it was one of those crazy only-at-the-Grammys ideas that somehow worked beautifully. Why a Marley salute? When it's one of few highlights that actually made it feel like a concert was taking place at Staples Center, why not?
Justin Timberlake: Is it really a comeback after just six years or so? Doesn't matter: JT's super-slick and spot-on two-song turn felt like it, and he knocked it clear out of the arena into the accompanying Target ad during the next commercial break – which also killed. The switch to sepia for "Suit & Tie" and the walk-up-from-the-crowd cameo from Jay-Z were simple but sharp touches that lifted the moment higher – and did I imagine it or did Timberlake slap Hova's hiney on their way back to the main stage? The second song, "Pusherlove," rife with rich, Prince-ly falsetto and Stevie Wonder chord changes, only whets the appetite more. Bet the Palladium after-show was fantastic.
Jack White: If he'd only done the Peacocks part for "Love Interruption," with harmonizing partner Ruby Amanfu stealing some of the spotlight with some classic Tina Turner circa '69 phrasing, I'd still rave but probably rank it lower. If he'd only done the eruptive Buzzards bit – rocking out so monstrously, in such defiance of prevailing pop plasticity, that his amp was still buzzing when Katy Perry stepped up to present best new artist – well, I'd still rave but probably rank it lower. But he did both. Win-win. Also, the guitar-flinging finish may have been the coolest – and realest – moment all night.
Carrie Underwood: She'd rank this high for her vocals alone. Stripped-down even when the dynamic got built-up, she was note-perfect and sky-high powerful for both "Blown Away" and "Black Cadillacs." But that riveting visual effect, an array of images drawn or projected upon her pop-art stately silver dress, was both wildly impressive and thematically on point. It lifted what would have been a merely memorable Grammy performance into one for the books.
Kelly Clarkson belts out Carole King's classic for Aretha Franklin at the Grammys. Photo: Getty Images
Kelly Clarkson: You know, Rihanna really proved something Sunday night, ditching the dance moves and the overblown psychosexual what-not to bare her emotions vocally. She pulled it off convincingly. And then Ms. Clarkson stepped onto the satellite platform, effortlessly evoked just the right moods for the Patti Page staple "Tennessee Waltz" and Carole King's "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," reaching deep and scaling high on the latter. And with one expert flourish she made Rihanna look like an amateur.

U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell provided the keynote address at a Thursday, 8 July 2004 conference on Capitol Hill about U.S./Africa Policy. The conference marked the release of the Africa Policy Advisory Panel Report entitled, Rising U.S. Stakes in Africa: Seven Proposals to Strengthen U.S. Africa Policy.
Nick Lapham of Conservation International (CI) worked with many Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group (ABCG) members [Judy Oglethorpe and Richard Carroll of World Wildlife Fund; Harry van der Linde of African Wildlife Foundation, Heather Eves of Bushmeat Crisis Task Force, James Deutsch and Steve Osofsky of Wildlife Conservation Society, Peter Veit of World Resources Institute, and Nancy Gelman of ABCG] to draft the proposal on "A Natural Resource Conservation Initiative for Africa." The Africa Policy Advisory Panel (APAP), for which the U.S. Congress authorized monies in the 2003 omnibus spending bill, guides U.S.-Africa policy. Peter Seligmann, the CEO of CI, sits as a member of the Advisory Panel.
At the conference, Nick Lapham described the reasons for increased U.S. interest in African conservation. He emphasized the role of tourism in Africa as the second biggest foreign exchange earner. The Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) III now has a section on ecotourism. He also described potential threats to natural resources such as preventing timber from being the "currency of conflict" in places such as Liberia as well as disease transfer between domestic animals, wildlife and humans.
Nick Lapham presented six recommendations from the APAP report for A Natural Resource Conservation Initiative for Africa to:
Many of the speakers including Colin Powell, Representative Ed Royce (R-CA), and former Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Walter Kansteiner, highlighted conservation issues. Colin Powell said that he is enormously proud of the Congo Basin Forest Partnership (CBFP). He stated that through CBFP, the U.S. was building creative partnerships with African governments, NGOs, and the private sector. "The Forest Partnership will help to safeguard Africa's precious natural heritage while at the same time promoting development, allow that heritage to be used in a sensible way that preserves it, but at the same time gets some economic benefit out of it in order to alleviate poverty and to enhance good government. Under the Forest Partnership, we are supporting a network of parks and protected areas, well managed forestry concessions and the creation of economic opportunities for communities that depend on the forests and the wildlife of the region."
Powell recalled his visit to Gabon and President Bongo's initiative to set aside 10% of the country into protected areas. He said that he wanted to see flora and fauna, but his security was so good that all he could see in the jungle were some trees as there was no wildlife ( or even mosquitos) to be seen within 500 miles. He said how proud President Bush is to be at the forefront of these environmental initiatives.
Rep. Royce also drew attention to CBFP and ecotourism. He described CBFP as an innovative approach to "help give Africans an incentive to save their flora and fauna from destruction. Eco-tourism in the Congo Basin, and in the more traditional tourist destinations in eastern and southern Africa, has great potential for up-lifting Africans, and conserving for posterity the resources all of mankind has an interest in." Royce mentioned the new congressional caucus on international conservation in the U.S. House of Representatives that focuses on these issues. He also emphasized the recent destruction of Virunga National Park and stated that "Rwanda must stop its deforestation of one of the two remaining mountain gorilla habitats."
Kansteiner, when introducing Nick Lapham, said that not only are we conserving wealth with conservation, but are also generating wealth. He said that African governments were recognizing the role of ecotourism and have responded by setting aside parks. He discussed the need for them to take next steps and asked Nick how the U.S. might assist.
The seven proposals put forth by APAP include:
For copies of the conference agenda, speeches by Colin Powell, Ed Royce, and Senator Russell Feingold, the Executive Summary of the APAP Report ("A Natural Resource Conservation Initiative for Africa" is on pp.28-30), press release, etc., please see the Center for Strategic and International Studies' (CSIS) website at http://www.csis.org. Hard copies of the report can be purchased from CSIS Press for $25.

What is really being revealed is that the physical universe springs from perception!
Wow! You've discovered pure solipsism! How exciting!
I think you're out of your league eucy. Its a problem many atheists face. Think about it, religion is like a fairytale, like little red riding hood, its extremely easy to debunk, even a baby can do it. Yet atheists spend most of their time debunking religion, and then they somehow believe that they have reached the ultimate stage of rational and critical thinking.
You have spent decades debunking fairytales, and now when the real rational people show up, all you can say is "thats solipsism!".

Does Blogger Engagement Still Matter?
As we continue to help clients in their social media outreach strategies, I'm starting to notice that more and more people are turning away from blogs and blogger engagement to focus instead on social networking sites. Which begs an interesting question: does blogger engagement still matter?
After all, if you can generate good word of mouth and drive sales from efforts in sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, or MySpace, why bother to court the hard-to-reach and often hard-to-impress blogerati like Scoble, Arrington, or Om?
Here's why: because they're hard to reach, and hard to impress, and everybody knows it. These bloggers have spent time building up a brand, and that carries value when they talk about your products or your messages.
Harnessing this trust, this existing relationship, is why it still matters to work with bloggers who have a name and a following, instead of simply trusting in the effectiveness of blind, stranger-to-stranger word-of-digital-mouth marketing.

Building your audience with analogies
If you're a business blogger, building your audience is going to become a little obsession. Really, it's building the right audience that you want to do.
There are all kinds of tricks, tips, and dirty secrets that you can find on the internet. A quick google search for "more blog traffic" yields somewhere in the nieghborhood of 9 million results. Everyone (with legitimate advice to give) will tell you roughly the same thing: write good content and work like a dog to get inbound links.
The trick is finding ways to consistently write good content. A good trick that I like to use is to write analogies.
Pick something that's unexpected. Copyblogger today wrote about how you can learn to blog better from Winnie the Pooh. You weren't expecting that one.
The nice thing about analogies is that once you find one comparison to draw, the others tend come more easily. Before you know it, you've found three or four parallels to highlight, and your post is practically written for you.

Wired calls it a trend: notebooks with service plans
Blogging has done a lot to extend the idea of mobile technology. The desire (and growing ability) for people to post from anywhere about anything has led to technologies that happily support the blogger addiction—for a small fee.
I predicted a few years ago that laptops would be sold in the future with cell-phone like data plans attached. After all, the gap between the phone and the computer is getting smaller and smaller as technology moves forward.
Wired has called it the next netbook trend. On the one hand, I think it's cool that we're seeing more modular connectivity, and it's going to open a whole world for bloggers and small business people to be on the move while keeping track of their blog.
On the other hand, it's a bad pricing model for the consumer.

Why is Scoble in love with FriendFeed?
It's no secret that, as Scoble himself puts it, he is FriendFeed's "number 1 customer." What remains elusive to most people is why Scoble is such a big fan of the slightly confusing, lifestreaming service that is FriendFeed.
Dave Winer draws a comparison between Twitter and DOS: it is pre-GUI, command line software. He's right that there is a gap between the two services, and that gap is defined largely by the complexity of using the tool.
Scoble mocks the small-brained users who can't handle the FF features. Dave Winer seems to think that it actually is more complex than necessary.
I'm inclined to agree with Dave Winer. FriendFeed is a robust dashboard-like system that does too much. Facebook appears to be creaking under the weight of its own capabilities. Experienced users sometimes find it difficult to find today's events.

What the 'Australia' film launch shows us about authenticity
According to Gawker, the "highly anticipated" film Australia is rolling out to a lackluster reception in…Australia. Of course, just because it doesn't do well down under doesn't mean that the mass audiences in the United States won't like it, but I'm willing to bet that most of the time a Bad Movie in Australia = a Bad Movie in the US.
But anyone can tell us if a movie is good or bad. The real golden nugget in the Gawker post is this:
We guess it's just not possible anymore—people, what with the internet and all, are just too cynical—to manufacture a phenomenon. It has to come much more organically than this.
We've been telling people from the early days of blogging that authenticity is of paramount importance. Writing blog posts and engaging with people online is not like writing a press release or making an execuspeak presentation.
The audience is savvy, and they know when you're laying down astroturf. The more you try to shove things down their throats, the less they're going to pay attention to what you say, and I think the price you pay in authority for a few more ticket sales is not worth it in the long run.

Is Dan Lyons right to quit blogging?
Jordan Golson at The Industry Standard reported yesterday that Dan Lyons is giving up on his personal blog, Real Dan Lyons, after he was forced by Newsweek to pull some of his recent, profane posts.
I can only assume that Newsweek was uneasy about Lyons gunning for Kara Swisher's reputation and for calling the Yahoo PR team "lying sacks of shit."
Of course, Golson faithfully reproduces the missing Lyons posts in his own, so you can check them out and make your own opinion.
I'm wondering where the line is on this one. On the one hand, it's pretty bad form to go around mudslinging at everyone in your industry. On the other hand, an employee forcing a blogger to pull their posts is pretty high up on the evil scale as well.
What do you think?

Wired's Paul Boutin joins the "blogs are dead" bandwagon
And I have to disagree completely. Blogging is far from dead—blogging is thriving. According to Paul, the reasons you should skip the blogosphere are, roughly:
- There are too many other blogs
- Writing more than 140 characters is too much work
- Media companies are now blogging
- Jason Calacanis isn't doing it anymore
Blogging has always been a medium. It's a tool that you can use in many ways, and what's happened is that this tool has been adopted by a lot of people for a lot of different purposes.
Some of what Paul brings up is actually valid: gone indeed are the days when a wayward blog post about a popular subject like "Barack Obama" could rocket you to the top of Google. But a blog still beats a static web site on SEO hands-down.
And there's also the way that a blog lets you connect with your niche. The Techmeme leaderboard does not define the blogosphere. It tracks the "broadcast blogosphere" – blogs from people and organizations big enough that they're essentially going back to broadcast models.
Today is an excellent time to start a blog, either for yourself or for your business. You will undoubtedly find your tribe. OEM Software Shop

The It Won't Stay in Vegas Blogger Party is back (with a plane)
As many of you probably already know, our CES Blogger Party last year was an awesome success, so we're getting right back into it this year: the It Won't Stay in Vegas blogger party is back in force, and this time we're doing a contest to get several gadget bloggers onto a private jet flight.
Yes, you read that right. Yesterday we announced the rules on how to get into the contest and how to increase your odds of winning (and for the record, no, this post doesn't enter me into the contest).
If you want to come hang out with Gary Vaynerchuk and Robert Scoble at the CES Blogger Party this year, go request an invite to the party.
If you're a gadget blogger and you want to enter the contest for the blogger jet like Jake Luddington and Beth Blecherman already have, check out the rules and drop your name in the punch bowl.

Blog sells for $12.4 million after 1 year and 3 months
Paidcontent and ProBlogger reported this morning that the Bankaholic blog, which launched in July of 2007, was bought today by Bankrate for a cool $12.4 million, and the option to earn another $2.5 million over the next 12 months.
That's an astounding payout for the amount of time that John Wu (who is the one person behind Bankaholic) has put into the site.
If you look at the Google trends chart, you can see a very convincing argument for building a blog to flip it:
Having been in the blog space for a long time, I sometimes forget that there is an actual market for blogs, but there definitely is.
Some people like Yaro Starek have occasionally suggested that you can make a business out of buying blogs, building them up a little bit, and then reselling them for a profit.
Blogging ain't dead yet.

Gary Vaynerchuck's Tips on Blogging for Money
Darren Rowse (of Problogger, in case you don't know) is such a prolific blogger that even though I'm pointing you to a September 30th blog post, it's already the fourth headline on his home page.
Darren does a nice job of summarizing Gary's points, but the real gem is the 30-minute video attached to the end of the post, where you can watch Gary interact with the audience.
Between this video and his presentation at Web 2.0 Expo, it's clear what Gary's advice is all about—and it's really good advice: do what you do best, do it loudly, and do it all the time.
Below is the Web 2.0 Expo video, but I'd also check out the video on Darren's post, it's much longer and more informal.

Mapping the future of Supply Chain Management: A Delphi Study
2009, International Journal of Production Research
S. Melnyk, L. Burns, Rhonda R. Lummus, R. Vokurka, J. Santor
Supply chain management, a field that developed from business practice and research, is undergoing a major transformation. It is changing from tactical in nature (where the major focus is on cost and delivery) to a field that is strategic in nature. However, the future issues and challenges facing managers and executives are just now becoming understood. This paper reports these issues by drawing on the findings generated by a three-phase study consisting of a literature review, a two-round Delphi study, and a workshop. Unique in this Delphi study is that it brings together leading practitioners in supply chain management with leading supply chain management researchers. The findings show that while the focus of the current tactical supply chain view is relatively limited to issues of delivery, risk, and leadership, the supply chain view of the future (i.e., five years from now) is more complex and demanding. The findings also show that there is generally no difference between researchers and practitioners in terms of how they view the issues. Finally, the study uncovers major obstacles that must be resolved before the strategic potential of future-state supply chains can be realised.
Melnyk, S., L. Burns, R. Lummus, R. Vokurka, and J. Santor (2009), "Mapping the future of Supply Chain Management: A Delphi Study," International Journal of Production Research, Vol. 47, No. 16, pp. 4629-4653.

Access to models generated with the Eclipse Modeling Framework is easy in Groovy with the help of Groovy Beans and GPath.
As an example we use the EMF tutorial. This model contains three classes Book, Writer and Library and an enumeration BookCategory. From this model EMF generates Java code. There are two special classes: a package class and a factory class. We need the package class for reading the model. We have to instantiate it and load a file with data as following.
Now we are able to query the model using standard Groovy. For example
prints out all books. We can print out all the books with less than 240 pages with the following statement.
All the objects in an EMF model are constructed with methods from a factory (LibraryFactory in this example). The Groovy EMF Builder provides an interface for constructing models and model elements. It takes an EMF factory as an argument. In the following snippet three objects are created in the model: a Library, a Writer and a Book.
The braces indicate the containment relationships writers and books of the class Library.
See the homepage of the Groovy EMF Builder for further details.

But it needs to be set in stone that money is only an option. Not Mandatory.
Also it should be able to be refused by anyone. I'm not much of a betting guy and don't usually like to bet. Now on the other hand a friendly $1 bet is cool with me. Its more of a bragging rights kinda thing than a $1 bet.
I just don't want to get involved in something and have someone demand I bet $5-10 or even $15 on a round. I wouldn't be down for something like that. I do realize thought that a number of you bet quite regularly so thats cool, realize that not everyone is cool with betting. If it is going to be for Bag Tags that is all it should be.
Now as far as handicapping goes, I guess that is OK. At least there will be an opportunity for some of the lesser players to gain the higher # tags. But what if person A says he will give person B 5 strokes and person B disagrees? What than? Do you just stand and argue for 2 hours? I honestly cant see that working either.........Seems like there will be a lot of disagreements over how many strokes to give someone. Unless you figure out a way to do it according to ratings.
Just a few things to think about!!!!

Cross Country Teams Have Strong Showing at Bulldog Stampede
September 21, 2013
WINGATE, NC- Pfeiffer's Cross Country teams competed in the Bulldog Stampede hosted by Wingate University on Saturday morning. Each team raced strong, with the women finishing third, while the men took home second place.
On the women's side, Pfeiffer finished behind Wingate and UNC Pembroke, both strong programs.
"We knew Wingate and Pembroke were going to be tough to beat," said Head Coach Scott Nolt. "They're both ranked in the top five in the region, and we saw how good Pembroke was two weeks ago."
Pfeiffer finished just ten points in front of Francis Marion University in fourth. Carson Newman, Catawba, Coker, St. Andrews, and Johnson C Smith finished out the field.
For the second race in a row, Cori Newton led the way for Pfeiffer finishing in 18th overall with the time of 21:17.
Justine Serje and Janna Featherstone finished within six seconds of each other and 24th and 25th overall, with times of 22:02 and 22:08. Mary Stegall was 29th with a time of 22:26 and Christie Baran rounded out the top five for Pfeiffer with a time of 22:50.
"The women had a good day today. We wanted to see how we compared to the top teams in the field and we felt that we would be strong against them," said Nolt.
The men's cross country team finished second behind UNC Pembroke. Pfeiffer finished just in front of host Wingate University in the nine-team field.
Freshman Chris Laughlin led the way for the Falcons finishing third overall with a time of 28:25 on the 8-k course in his first collegiate cross country race.
"Chris has looked great from the first day he stepped on campus. He usually leads the way in practice, so I wasn't at all surprised he did the same in his first competition" remarked Nolt.
Laughlin was backed up by two of his freshman teammates; Josh Wilhoit finished eighth overall with a time of 28:54 and Nick Owens 12th with a time of 29:05.
Sophomore Dillon Edwards also made his debut for Pfeiffer finishing fourth on the team and in 17th overall place with the time of 29:36. Brandon Garren rounded out the top five for Pfeiffer finishing 22nd with a time of 30:02. Teammate Henry Furman was just five seconds behind in 24th.
Both teams have two weeks to get ready for their next race, the Hagan Stone classic on October 5 in Greensboro.

Indie Next List
Return to the City of White Donkeys: Poems
Return to the City of White Donkeys: Poems (Paperback)
In his fourteenth collection of poetry, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner James Tate continues exploring his own peculiar brand of poetry, transforming our everyday world, a world where women give birth to wolves, wild babies are found in gardens, and Saint Nick visits on a hot July day. Tate's signature style draws on a marvelous variety of voices and characters, all of which sound vaguely familiar, but are each fantastically unique, brilliant, and eccentric.
Yet, as Charles Simic observed in the New York Review of Books, "With all his reliance on chance, Tate has a serious purpose. He's searching for a new way to write a lyric poem." He continues, "To write a poem out of nothing at all is Tate's genius. For him, the poem is something one did not know was there until it was written down. . . . Just about anything can happen next in this kind of poetry and that is its attraction. . . . Tate is not worried about leaving us a little dazed. . . . He succeeds in ways for which there are a few precedents. He makes me think that anti-poetry is the best friend poetry ever had."
About the Author
James Tate was born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1943. He is the author of sixteen books of poetry, including The Ghost Soldiers; Return to the City of White Donkeys; Memoir of the Hawk; Shroud of the Gnome; Worshipful Company of Fletchers, which won the National Book Award in 1994; Selected Poems, which won the Pulitzer Prize and the William Carlos Williams Award in 1991; Distance from Loved Ones; Reckoner; Constant Defender; Riven Doggeries; Viper Jazz; Absences; Hints to Pilgrims; The Oblivion Ha-Ha; and The Lost Pilot, which was selected by Dudley Fitts for the Yale Series of Younger Poets. He teaches at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.

Amazing Save-The-Dates
A friend of mine recommended magnetStreet after I got engaged. We had a long engagement and I had almost forgotten her recommendation. It hit me one day after searching high and low for customizable designs and I'm so glad it did! The website was so easy to navigate, the designs were perfect, the cost was TOTALLY within our budget and the customizing was SO EASY! And they turned out better than I could ever imagine! I can't wait to get my sample invitations!
I have never written a review of a product online but I must for this product and this company. I am having a winter wedding and styled it with eggplant and silver accents. I loved the size as it made the text larger, it's very sturdy and it only required a standard stamp to ship. I have received many, many compliments from the recipients of the save the dates. MagnetStreet has been so timely and the quality is amazing, for sure doing my invites through them!

In Illinois the average wait time for a kidney on the national waiting list is 5 to 7 years. We will continue to manage your condition through dialysis until then. However, if you have an incompatible living donor and choose the Pay-It-Forward program, your wait time might be significantly reduced. Read more of our Frequently Asked Questions.
Kidney Transplant
You have an entire team on your side
We take on the most challenging cases. Even if you've been turned down by another transplant center, consider getting a second opinion at Loyola. Our Transplant Center has the human and technological resources to care for the most difficult cases, whether you need a kidney or a multi-organ transplant. While you wait for a kidney, you may face other health challenges from kidney disease, such as sleep problems, osteoporosis (weakened bones) or heart conditions. But you have come to the right place; Loyola has hundreds of specialists who have vast experience in a multitude of conditions ranging from kidney disease to heart ailments to shunting problems.
Since 1971, Loyola's kidney program has provided a full range of services for patients of all ages with kidney failure, including transplants and dialysis. We use state-of-the-art minimally invasive surgery to remove living donor kidneys, which speeds recovery for donors. And our association with the National Kidney Registry (NKR) gives hard-to-match recipients a better chance of finding the best kidney.
As a world-class academic medical center, our doctors teach other doctors about the latest in medicine. And our nurse coordinators have a regional reputation for building close working relationships with our patients. They will answer all your questions, not only before surgery, but afterward as well. This is part of our mission: We treat not just your illness; we also treat the human spirit.
Access to Records
You can also access your medical records online through MyLoyola. Our doctors pride themselves on ensuring seamless communication between patients and their medical teams. Your referring physician also will be routinely updated on your treatment through our secure health information portal, LoyolaConnect.
In addition, our internationally recognized experts are involved in a wide range of clinical research trials, so they bring the latest advances to the bedside and increase your odds of leading a more productive life. You can rest assured that whatever the complication, our multidisciplinary team has a treatment plan just for you.

A 4 week-old infant and his mother came to my office last week. The mother had started seeing small flecks of blood and stringy mucous in the infant's diapers a week prior. The baby was fine in every other way, breast feeding normally, and looked quite healthy when I examined him.
I diagnosed the infant as having cow's milk protein-induced proctocolitis, the term referring to allergic inflammation of the lower gastrointestinal tract from exposure to cow's milk.
This is a diagnosis I make often. Here's what you should know about infants with milk allergies:
- It's more common than you think. 2-3% of infants in the U.S. are allergic to cow's milk protein. It is even more common in infants with eczema or who have parents or siblings with allergies.
- It's seen in breast fed babies. Over 50% of infants with this condition are breast milk-fed infants. But remember, the babies are allergic to the dairy in their moms' diets, not to their mothers' breast milk per se!
- Switching to soy or goat's milk doesn't work. Over two-thirds of infants with cow's milk protein allergy "cross-react" to soy protein (which means that they may not be truly allergic to soy protein, but their immune systems are just too "immature" to know the difference between the two). Similarly, if a mother switches from drinking cow's milk to goat's milk, it won't help, because the source is still a "different species"; the infant's immune system will still respond to the "foreign" protein.
- Treatment takes time. The inflammation resolves when all traces of cow's milk (and soy), are removed from the infant's diet. In the case of formula-fed infants, we switch to special hypoallergenic formulas. Typically after a successful switch, the bleeding stops within a week. However, with breast fed infants, the improvement can be a little slower. Since it can take up to 2 weeks for the dairy in a mother's diet to circulate into her breast milk, the full effects may not been seen for up to a couple weeks.
- Allergy testing is not recommended. The type of allergy that ...

In The End of Faith, chapter six, A Science of Good and Evil, Harris makes the point that sometimes our intuition with respect to morality is deceiving. For example, while most of us feel that torture is immoral, we nevertheless feel that killing or maiming innocent civilians in a bombing attack is acceptable. "To learn that one's grandfather flew a bombing mission over Dresden in the Second World War is one thing; to hear that he killed five little girls and their mother with a shovel is another." And yet, is killing five little girls with a shovel really any worse than killing them with a bomb?
Harris attributes our intuitive failing to "millions of years on the African veldt [which] could not possibly have selected for an ability to make emotional sense of twenty-first-century horror." Maybe so, maybe not. Who's to say whether such intuition is innate or learned? The fact remains that most of us would probably agree that torture is morally unacceptable, while wartime collateral damage is.
(On a slight tangent here, I would argue that the morality of torture is a function of culture, and as such, is more learned than innate. There are plenty of examples of cultures in which torture is or was considered acceptable, the regimes of Saddam Hussein or the Shah of Iran being just two of many. Since we Westerners are more likely to inflict wartime collateral damage than to suffer it, we tend to see it as acceptable; since we hold no such advantage when it comes to torture, we tend to see it as unacceptable.)
A pacifist would argue that wartime collateral damage is in fact just as morally unacceptable as torture. However, Harris asserts that the "morally unassailable position" of pacifism is a "false choice:" "...pacifism is ultimately nothing more than a willingness to die, and to let others die, at the pleasure of the world's thugs."
I wholeheartedly agree. The correct choice is to recognize that torture is just as morally acceptable as wartime collateral damage. If it gives us an edge in the War on Terror, we should be just as willing to torture terrorists as we are willing to bomb civilians.
But why stop at terrorists? Harris makes the claim repeatedly that the root of the problem is Islam itself. "We are at war with Islam," he says in chapter four, The Problem with Islam. "It may not serve our immediate foreign policy objectives for our political leaders to openly acknowledge this fact, but it is unambiguously so." We in the West will never be safe as long as Islam exists because "the only future devout Muslims can envisage—as Muslims—is one in which all infidels have been converted to Islam, subjugated, or killed."
Would it not behoove us then, to persuade Muslims to renounce their faith by any means possible—including torture? To do any less is to simply prolong the problem and incur more harm at the hands of Muslim terrorists. The sense that this is morally reprehensible is a misapprehension stemming from our imperfect intuition. From a rational standpoint, torturing Muslims to persuade them to renounce their faith is morally right.

Adding or overriding properties
Adding properties
Properties can be added in a couple of ways. Firstly you can use the instance method syntax seen previously:
|Code Block
class Book { String title } Book.metaClass.getAuthor << {-> "Stephen King" } def b = new Book("The Stand") assert "Stephen King" == b.author
In this case the property is dictated by the closure and is a read-only property. You can add the equivalent setter but then remember you will have to store the property somewhere for retrieval later so make sure you use thread safe code. For example you could store values in a synchronized Map using the object identity as the key:
|Code Block
def properties = Collections.synchronizedMap([:]) Book.metaClass.setAuthor = { String value -> properties[System.identityHashCode(delegate) + "author"] = value } Book.metaClass.getAuthor = {-> properties[System.identityHashCode(delegate) + "author"] }
This is not the only technique however. For example in a servlet container you may store the values in the currently executing request as request attributes (as is done in some cases in Grails).
Alternatively you can simply assign a value as follows:
|Code Block
Book.metaClass.author = "Stephen King" def b = new Book("The Stand") assert "Stephen King" == b.author
In this case the property is mutable and has both a setter and getter.

On February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, or Recovery Act, into law. Federal News Radio follows how agencies have enacted the law and how the government is tracking spending through Recovery.gov.

Executive Editor
Federal News Radio
Lawmakers and open government experts have lauded the Recovery, Accountability and Transparency Board for implementing public websites detailing where Recovery Act money is being spent across the nation. Now, it's receiving more acclaim for the impact the RAT Board is having on the government itself.
From stemming the tide of improper payments to changing how agencies make data accessible to new ways to engage citizens, the Recovery Board is bringing change to parts of the government that long have been problematic.
Take the Recovery Operations Center use of data mining tools and analysis software. It is having the biggest impact across government, says Earl Devaney, RAT Board chairman Tuesday during a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information, Federal Services and International Security.
"The fact is the inspector generals community has never had these tools before as a community and now that we do, what we see is certainly the 29 IGs that have Recovery responsibilities are not only receiving information but bringing it to us," he says. "As a result we have interaction we've never had before, "They tell me the material we are giving them is value added to their investigations. It's saving them an awful lot of leg work, it's cost effective for them to use the information so I would say this tool is something this tool will be using in the future."
In fact, the Office of Management and Budget is expanding the use of these software tools to help recover more than $65 billion in improper payments at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. OMB found CMS makes the most improper payments across the government.
Danny Werfel, OMB controller, says the administration launched the initiative in late June after seeing the potential impact the tools could have to prevent improper payments.
"The tools essentially shines a light on new risk factors for where there might be fraud or prohibit activity taking place," he says. "It created more of a multi dimensional view into the picture we have in front of us for finding problems. When we look at the current suite of information we have in today's world before this tool came along, it lacks certain dimensions and lacks certain information that lets us see risks and red flags. The Recovery Board's tool turns the information and combines it with other things on its axis a little bit and suddenly other things come to light that otherwise would not of."
He adds previously research and analysis would be much more labor-intensive. He believes the tools come at the perfect time because resources are scarce and the potential to do more with less is great.
President Obama in June called on all agencies to reduce their improper payments by 50 percent. Obama also called on agencies to reduce the amount of improper payments by $50 billion by 2013.
Along with the RAT Board tools, Werfel says OMB is spreading best practices to agencies about how to use data mining software.
"The Department of Defense has prevented more than $700 million in improper payments to vendors over the past two year through the deployment of their business activity monitoring tool," he says.
DoD's tool along with the General Services Administration's launch of the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Werfel says, is giving agencies more ways to make sure funding is going to the right person or company.
"The integration has begun and GSA has now brought together the data on federal contractors for those who have been suspended or debarred or those who owe an outstanding federal debt that would impact awarding contracts," he says. "That is the first step in bringing together additional databases. We are working with the Social Security Administration right now. We are working with other federal agencies to figure out how to start architecting other databases into the mix."
Werfel says within the next six months the portal, called the Do Not Pay list, will have new data and within a year, the site should be more fully integrated with other databases.
An OMB spokeswoman says the administration didn't send out a specific memo to use the Do Not Pay database, but the Federal Acquisition Regulations Council updated the FAR with a rule, which required agencies to use the new database.
Devaney says one of the biggest impediments to ensuring full transparency of Recovery Act data is the lack of standardization among agencies in how they identify contract and grants awards.

JONESBORO, Ark. – Arkansas State scored runs in all but two innings as the Miami baseball dropped the weekend series finale, 13-3, on Sunday afternoon.
With the result, the Red Wolves (3-0) finish with an opening weekend sweep of the RedHawks (0-3).
ASU scratched a run across in the first inning on Matt Burgess' two-out RBI single, which plated Zach George after he stole second base earlier in the at-bat. Ryan Powers retired the side in a scoreless second inning, but the Red Wolves plated three third-inning runs. Austin Baker's triple drove in one run and Burgess followed that up with a double before a Miami error pushed in another run to put ASU up 4-0.
The RedHawks cut the deficit in half in the top of the fourth after Jake Romano led off with a bunt single and John Crummy ripped a single of his own up the middle. Max Andresen's sacrifice bunt moved the runners over and Chad Sedio drilled a two-run single with two outs to pull MU within 4-2.
Baker and Burgess answered those Miami runs in the next half inning with a sacrifice fly and an RBI double, respectively, to push ASU ahead 6-2 after four complete innings. The RedHawks pulled within 6-3 in the top of the fifth when consecutive Red Wolf errors plated Matt Honchel with one out, but consecutive fly outs ended the scoring threat.
Miami would not get any closer the rest of the way with Arkansas State scoring twice in the fifth, three times in the sixth and two more in the seventh to cap the scoring at 13-3. ASU cracked three-straight one-out doubles for its two-run fifth, scored another on a single with two more coming across via a wild pitch in the sixth and plated two more on a groundout and a single in the seventh.
Powers (0-1) started on the mound and allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits in 3.2 innings pitched, striking out two batters while walking two. Jacob Banks, Ryan Marske, Wynston McMartin and Charlie Suich also pitched out of the pen for the Red and White. Offensively, Miami got two hits apiece from Romano, Crummy and Sedio with the latter driving in two runs.
The RedHawks return to the diamond next weekend when they play in the Mule Mix Classic. Game one is at Belmont on Friday at 5 p.m. ET.
