A year ago the Orioles won 93 games. The Boston Red Sox lost 93 games. Somehow, the Red Sox won 28 more games in the regular season and captured their third World Series in nine years.
On Thursday morning, the oddsmaker Bovada said the Orioles are 25:1 to win the 2014 World Series.
An Orioles fan has to be nearing 40 to remember their last World Series in 1983.
What will it take for the Orioles to get back to the World Series? If the Red Sox can go from 69 wins to 97, shouldn't the Orioles be able to move up from 85 to 97? Many of the same players who won 93 games are still going to be with the team in 2014.
Boston recognized its mistake by choosing Bobby Valentine to manage their team in 2012. Wanting a change from Terry Francona, whose message had grown stale they thought, they went to a manager who was a lightning rod.
After quickly dismissing him, they lured Francona's pitching coach John Farrell from Toronto, where he had managed the last two years. Farrell's steadying influence in a difficult environment helped the Red Sox enormously.
Just as Farrell was good for Boston, Buck Showalter knows his team and is a good match for the market.
Coincidentally, Farrell replaced newly hired Orioles pitching coach Dave Wallace in Boston in 2007, and Wallace worked for Valentine in New York for two years.
The Orioles recognize that many of their players are as good or better than the Red Sox. Boston lost 11 of 19 games to the Orioles this season.
Matt Wieters, Chris Davis, J.J. Hardy, Manny Machado, Adam Jones and Nick Markakis are all good enough not only to be Gold Glove winners or finalists, but skilled enough to play important roles on championship clubs.
During the winter, the Orioles will address second base, left field and the bench. Danny Valencia, who briefly play for the Red Sox, is penciled in as the right-handed hitting DH. If Nate McLouth and Brian Roberts are re-signed, the Orioles' team on the field certainly can compete with Boston or Tampa.
They know their pitching isn't good enough. In order for their pitching to be championship quality, it has to be much deeper.
The Orioles did a have a chance to sign Koji Uehara last winter, but Boston outbid them. A year ago, the bullpen looked like a strength. Jim Johnson had converted 51 of 54 chances, and the Orioles also had Darren O'Day, Luis Ayala, Pedro Strop, Brian Matusz and Troy Patton returning.
Matusz and Tommy Hunter were late converts to the bullpen, and after they drafted T.J. McFarland, their bullpen looked stacked. In fact, they dealt Ayala early in the season to make room for McFarland.
It turned out that Strop struggled, and other than Hunter, the rest weren't quite as good as they'd been in 2013.
Uehara signed a two-year, $9.25 million contract that in retrospect looks like a bargain. But, he wasn't the Red Sox closer to begin the season. Joel Hanrahan was, and it wasn't until Andrew Bailey was hurt that Uehara stepped in.
Uehara was a most respectable third option as closer.
The Orioles know they have to get deeper. Look for some new names in the bullpen next year.
Chris Tillman will enter spring training as the staff leader with Wei-Yin Chen, Miguel Gonzalez and Bud Norris behind him. Kevin Gausman should be on the starting staff, and if the Orioles re-sign Scott Feldman, he'll be there, too.
It's unlikely that the Orioles will spend big money in the offseason on outside free agents.
Last winter, Boston signed Uehara, Ryan Dempster, Stephen Drew, Jonny Gomes, Mike Napoli, David Ross and Shane Victorino as free agents. Only Dempster (two years, $26.5 million) and Victorino (three years, $39 million) were relatively big ticket contracts.
Victorino's was scoffed at in many quarters. A solid player for many years, his performance with the Phillies and Dodgers convinced a number of teams that he was heading south. Instead, he rebounded sharply to hit .294 with a .351 on-base percentage. He'll turn 33 next month, and should be able to play well for another two years.
Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette may sign a few smaller ticket free agents, perhaps to play left or DH and to fill out the bullpen.
They're hoping that Wallace can help get the starters they have to the championship level.
While the Orioles are most familiar with the Red Sox, they'd prefer to follow the St. Louis Cardinals' model of growing their own. More product from the minor leagues will be crucial.
Boston's payroll of $176.4 million is out of the Orioles' league. St. Louis' $116.4 million is more realistic.

lra064 - You're right. Same sh!t different year.
The supporting players are different, but the results are the same: Early playoff exit.
This has the making of this:
What is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result.
I have the answers to those questions:
What was wrong with LeBron? > No "killer" instinct. MJ he is not.
New coach in the future? > Yes. Who? Remains to be seen. I don't care as long as it isn't Brown.
What happened? > As usual, the team stood around watching LBJ. This time he joined them in standing around.
It might be over. > MIGHT be over?! It IS over. Stick a fork in them, they're done.
babyboomerjoe is right. He did more with less than I ever saw. On the downside of that is the Cavs would either just make the playoffs or just lose out. Which means they were stuck in mediocrity and never had a shot a the top players.
Exactly! I couldn't have said it better!
Shoot! It looks like I'm out a good chunk of change. I have the Celtics in 6. I should have taken the Celtics in 5.
Average at best"? You are too kind!
I would have canned his azz a long time ago. And if it weren't for LBJ, he would have been gone.
The man simply gets outcoached EVERY SINGLE TIME when it truely matters.....the playoffs. Actually, a lot during the season as well. But again, LBJ bails him out.)
My heart says Cavs in 7. But my money is on the Celtics in 6. And the odds are looking even more favorable if the Cavs continue to play like the first 3 qrts. They're lucky they won. But I'm glad they did.
Actually when I think about it, who's dumber: the elected officials or the people who vote them in?
I'll call that one even.
As one can tell by my screen name, I'm through with both parties. My feeling is the same as Music2MyEars . . . .VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS. Ohio is the worst, if not, one of the worst states in any catagory you want to pick. Why? Because of the imbeciles and crooks that are running the state.
lra064 - SO TRUE! GREAT POST!
incomingshoe - You have it COMPLETELY backwards. If you take what you wrote and insert Dems instead of Rebs, and Rebs instead of Dems, you'll be COMPLETELY correct.
"...how could anyone ever vote for a republican ever again in America?"
Easy. Don't believe me? All you have to do is take a look at Cuyahoga County. Ran by Dems for as long as anybody can remember.
Sorry, but the DEMOCRATS "have forever proven, they can not govern".
I don't know, maybe it's just me, but how is shouting "She said no!" disrespecting the victim? The way I see it is someone is sticking up for the girl. Tauting/shouting at that POS scumbag says exactly that: That you support the girl and not him. And if one gets a little pleasure out of it because it's a scumbag snake stiler....great!

Way to be positive!
Tyrian2000 -
really? Really? REALLY? ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME? You wasted THREE paragraphs about why I shouldn't use some childish nickname? AND you went into GREAT DETAIL explaining why/how THAT nickname doesn't make sense? That is needs to be "middle school level"? IT'S A FREAKIN CHILDISH NICKNAME! YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE.
Now I have to waste my time to teach YOU something.
Let me break it down for you : Roethlisberger = Rapelessbooger
Roeth = Rape
lis = less
berger = booger
Rapelessbooger. School's out. You're dismissed.
Give it up already. Although I'm not a big fan of his, Mangini is the coach. Holmgren said so.
Delhomme and Wallace are better than Anderson and Quinn. THAT'S PROGRESS. Yes I know what Delhomme did (or didn't do), but I would still rather have him over DA or BQ.
The starting LBs this year though not great, are better than last year. THAT'S PROGRESS.
The team could have packed it in, but ended the year on a 4 game win streak. THAT'S PROGRESS. Yes I know, they played weak teams. But they could have easily packed it in but they didn't.
Bottom line is results. And they ended on a positive note. THAT'S PROGRESS. Can't deny that.
Give it up already. Mangini is the coach. Holmgren said so.
Oh yeah, I almost forget to add:
2 season tickets for life to each "officer" in the dept. of Milledgeville.
Hmmm . . .
(A) 5 officers pose with Raplessbooger that night including Lt. Goddard and Sgt. Blash who were on duty at the time with Blash filling out the initial report.
(B) Incident took place March 5, 2010. Day or two after incident many legal experts say it shouldn't take more than a week to gather enough info to have a case or not. It's now one month later and FINALLY there's a "report".
(C) Bet you anything that Blash's report basically goes something like this:
"We saw him (Raplessbooger) earlier in the night and he was cordial and polite to take a few pictures with us. I took his statement and he said nothing happened. The young girl said he assalted her."
(D) The DA will see this "report" and know he can't go forward with the case. It's basically he-said-she-said.
(E) He'll get off with a slap on the wrist, a little fine for court costs, and maybe some community service to save face (of the judicial system) and to appease some people/civil groups.
(F) He will get a stiffer penalty from Goodell. 2-4 game suspension. The Stiler Organization might add in "with no pay". My guess is only 2. And that's only because Goodell will be pressured into doing that.
That scenario is pretty sad, but that's how I see it playing out.
Gimme a break! Her daughter used her COMPANY computer in HER CHAMBERS? She is so busted and she knows it. That's why she wanted to arrest a reporter. Now she doesn't have anywhere to turn, so she throws her own daughter under the bus.
Whoa. Maybe I shouldn't say "bus" because that was one of her cases. Maybe she'll put out a warrant for my arrest.

As always, head over to newyorkobservetennis.com for our review of Tuesday's action before or after you read about the matches to watch on Wednesday. Whereas the women dominated our last preview, the men gain the ascendancy overall this time.
Robson vs. Clijsters: Around each match of the three-time champion swirls even more attention than usual, for each could mark her last appearance in singles. Cutting a swathe through the younger generation, Clijsters drew a strange route that starts very simple before suddenly becoming quite complicated. The mother of Jada showed little mercy to the youngest player in the draw after a slow start in her opener, moving naturally during rallies against Victoria Duval. But the American of Haitian descent could not subject Clijsters to any pressure, the challenge that confronts the British teenager who awaits the Belgian in the second round. A lefty with a fiery temper and a fierce competitive drive, Robson had not won a main-draw match at a major in 2012 and recorded only two main-draw wins overall in the first half of the season. On the clay of Palermo and on home soil at the Olympics, she defeated Vinci and Safarova in victories that suggest a rise in her perpetually unsteady fortunes. Her loftiness and deceptively explosive forehand could catch Clijsters off guard initially before the veteran finds her timing.
Anderson vs. Ferrer: Handed a golden opportunity in the absence of his compatriot Nadal, Ferrer overnight became the technical favorite to reach the semifinals from his section. The fourth seed may need to defuse the serve of Isner before then, however, so a meeting with the similarly towering Kevin Anderson may offer ideal preparation—assuming that the favorite survives it. Never has Ferrer faced the South African before, and his height has left him vulnerable to opponents of this stature who can hold serve easily while targeting his much less imposing serve. (See, for example, his loss to Karlovic on a slow court at Indian Wells last year.) Although he reached the semifinals here five years ago and reached at least the quarterfinals at all three majors in 2012, Ferrer has dwindled perceptibly during the second half. Like a more famous Spaniard, he may suffer from his front-loaded schedule in an exceptionally frenetic season for all contenders.
Becker vs. Harrison: A month removed from his embarrassing meltdown at the Olympics, the future of American men's tennis seeks to redeem himself on the next occasion when the spotlight glares upon him. Widely criticized for his racket-smashing tantrum, a chastened Harrison appeared on television to apologize and promise a more mature outlook in future. He may find such a promise difficult to keep if adversity strikes at his home major, where he already has recorded one memorable victory (over Ljubicic) and suffered one heartbreaking defeat (to Stakhovsky). Defeating the heralded doubles team of Fyrstenberg and Matkowski in a thriller on Tuesday, Harrison at least should accumulated some positive energy before the match to insulate him against his darker moods. Fortunately for him, Becker poses a relatively straightforward challenge unlikely to frustrate him consistently.
Gulbis vs. Haas: Once considered among the promising players of the post-Federer era, Gulbis enthralled an Arthur Ashe audience during a night session by taking Roddick to the brink of a fifth set with bullet forehands, daring second serves, and artful drop shots. This year, the world #145 will ply his trade in less glamorous surroundings against an opponent who quietly has become one of the most surprising and compelling stories to arise from the ATP recently. Now on the verge of the top 20, Haas began his rise with victories over Tsonga and Baghdatis in Munich before defeating Berdych and Federer in Halle. Extending that momentum beyond Germany, he enjoyed a strong US Open Series that brought him a 500-level final and a Rogers Cup quarterfinal, where he became the only player other than Federer to win a set from Djokovic in the last three North American Masters 1000 tournaments. This 34-year-old thus has traveled in the opposite direction from the 24-year-old across the net. While Gulbis could win on sheer talent alone, Haas has enjoyed his previous visits to New York and should build upon those memories as well as a likely supportive crowd. On the other hand, Germans have suffered through an almost unimaginably horrific Open to date.
Burdette vs. Hradecka: Astonishing many by capturing her first match at the US Open, the Stanford graduate faces another winnable clash with a doubles specialist. Armed with an outstanding serve, Hradecka rode her primary weapon to a semifinal on the blue clay of Madrid, and the surface here should prove equally accommodating if she can find her first serve consistently. Once her percentage dips, she lacks many alternative options to win points and susceptible to opponents who can outmaneuver her along the baseline. To score the upset, Burdette must hope to take time away from her much larger, stronger foe while anticipating smartly on returns and trying to survive the first strike from across the net. A rendezvous with Sharapova on a marquee court would offer a worthy reward for this underdog if she can keep her exhilarating week alive.
Baker vs. Hajek: Rivaling the Haas story for narrative novelty if not for on-court achievement is the odyssey of Brian Baker, who reached the final in the first tournament that he played after years of injuries. This former college star has risen inside the top 75 while compiling a winning record, but his homecoming so far has not flowed as triumphantly as one would have imagined. In four US Open Series tournaments, Baker won just one match and lost to the likes of Igor Kunitsyn and Florent Serra. A very winnable match lies ahead here, so he should bask in the well-deserved admiration of his compatriots if he can find the form that carried him past Kohlschreiber in Cincinnati. That said, the best-of-five format and the New York humidity might test the durability of this Cinderella character in a match that goes anywhere beyond the routine.

LRDG - An auto-ethnographic account of social and cultural practices around cookery books: critical and transformative learning over time
Date: 26 June 2012 Time: 1 - 2 pm
Venue: C89, County South
Awena Carter, Lancaster University:
An examination of cookery books published over only the last four decades reveals the ways in which cooking, as a culturally embedded practice, changes and develops over time to reveal and reflect social and cultural change. In this paper I use the materiality of some of my cookery books to reveal my literacy practices around the texts and use an autoethnographic approach as an heuristic 'seek[ing] to describe and systematically analyze…[my] personal experience… in order to understand cultural experience' (Ellis, Adams and Buchner, 2011). In looking at my use of these books at three different phases of my life, I also reflect on cooking as critical learning, taking Gee's (2003) view that '[all]…active critical learning- is inextricably caught up with identity in a variety of different ways.'

Eugenie Bouchard stunned No. 3 seed Samantha Stosur in the third round of the Family Circle Cup Thursday night.
Complete FCC coverage
To read more coverage of the Family Circle Cup, go to postandcourier.com/familycirclecup.
Bouchard, 19, defeated Stosur, 6-1, 2-0 as the Australian was forced to retire with a calf injury in the second set.
Only three singles matches and one doubles match were able to be played as the rain delay lasted seven hours. One of the first matches, pitting Jelena Jankovic and Jessica Pegula, that had originally been scheduled to start at about 11 a.m., finally got started a little after 6 p.m.
The ninth-seeded Jankovic easily dispatched Pegula, 6-0, 6-4. Bouchard, a qualifier, will face Jankovic Friday in the quarterfinals.
The big news about the evening session is that neither top-seeded Serena Williams nor fifth-seeded Venus Williams will play today.
The Family Circle Cup posted on its website, "Although play has not been canceled for the day, we will still honor tickets from Thursday's day session during (Friday's) day session."
Today's first match between Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Madison Keys was originally scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.
Mattek-Sands and Keys were scheduled to play on the Althea Gibson Court but moved to the main court after Andrea Petkovic withdrew from her scheduled match with former champion Caroline Wozniacki, citing an injury to her right calf. Later, the Mattek-Sands and Keys match was moved back to the Gibson court and another match moved to Court 3 as tournament officials tried to get matches in.
Petkovic, from Germany, is unseeded but finished the 2011 WTA season ranked No. 10. She tweeted that she is suffering from a right calf injury.

Angel Station is an album released in 1979 by Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Angel Station features a six-note descending theme in most of the songs on the album, woven into the context of each song in a different way. "Hollywood Town" and "You Are, I Am" share a common tune and basic arrangement. They occupied almost identical positions on either side of the LP. The album has the air of an emotional and musical crossword puzzle, or has affinities with the work of M. C. Escher, whose art is alluded to on the cover illustration.
Of interest is the involvement of Fingerprintz's Jimmy O'Neill whose influence can be heard in the edgy, angular instrumental "Platform's End" (a song whose title was probably influenced by the fact that it originally closed the 1978 vinyl's A side), and ex-Slapp Happy and Henry Cow member Anthony Moore who produced the album and influenced its modern, sparse sound.
"This is Chris Thompson's last album with the Earth Band as he is forming his own band in the near future. I wish to thank him for a valuable creative and personal relationship, and wish him every success in the future." - Manfred Mann 1979Manfred Mann, Angel Station album, Sleeve notes (1979) In spite of this announcement, Thompson's own outfit Night turned out as unsuccessful, releasing two mostly overlooked albums in 1978 and 1979 respectively, so the singer stayed with the Earth Band instead, returning on the group's next album Chance (1980) already.
Kanye West sampled the bridge from "You Are, I Am" for the track "So Appalled" from West's 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band is a British progressive rock group formed in 1971 by Manfred Mann.
Manfred Mann's Earth Band.jpgleftthumbManfred Mann's Earth Band, 1972 (debut album)
Having started in the 60's with a British Invasion band that had such hits as "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" and "The Mighty Quinn", then moving on to Jazz Fusion with Manfred Mann's Chapter Three, Manfred's third band, "The Earth Band' is still alive and recording. In his 2003 biography, former member of Manfred Mann's earlier Manfred Mann Band and Beatles-associate Klaus Voormann alleged to have inspired Mann for the Earth Band's name by having besought Mann several times throughout the 1960s that Mann's soft pop style of those days had to become more "earthier" and rockier, not least of all because of the seemingly effeminate image of Mann's earlier band which had led to a number of close encounters with violence particularly in Ireland.Klaus Voormann, Warum spielst du Imagine nicht auf dem weißen Klavier, John? Erinnerungen an die Beatles und viele andere Freunde ("Why Don't You Play Imagine on the White Piano, John?: Memories of the Beatles and Many Other Friends"), Heyne 2003. ISBN 3-453-87313-0
The membership of the Earth Band was stable through their first six albums before becoming relatively informal; Mick Rogers originally performed lead guitar and lead vocal duties before being replaced by Chris Thompson on vocals and Dave Flett on guitar. Drumming duties were fulfilled by Chris Slade, who was later to be a member of AC/DC and Asia. Bass player Colin Pattenden, after leaving the Earth Band, became a sound consultant, running his own company designing and installing sound systems. There was much about the Earth Band that was potentially successful, but the contrariness of the band's approach and Mann's perfectionism meant that albums frequently came out with different track listings in different territories, or in alternative versions.
The Earth Band combines the stylistic approach of progressive rock with Mann's jazz-influenced Moog synthesizer playing and keen ear for melody. Beside producing own material, a staple of the band's music and live performances from the beginning has been also relying on covers of songs by other modern pop/rock artists, notably Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, in MMEB's progressive rock style.
Mann's interest in English 20th century classical music saw him adapt Gustav Holst's Planets Suite, garnering an unlikely UK hit with a version of the "Jupiter" movement, with lyrics added, entitled Joybringer (included on the 1973 album Solar Fire). Another classical reference was Questions on the 1976 album The Roaring Silence that is based upon the main theme of Franz Schubert's Impromptu in G flat Major.
The title song to 1973's Messin', as well as most of the album The Good Earth tapped into ecological concerns, a recurring theme in Mann's music in later years, with The Good Earth giving away a free gift of a piece of land in Wales with each album sold. Like other progrock acts, beside treating environmental issues the band also issued concept albums on space and sci-fi themes (particularly Solar Fire, a minor resurgence of which was seen in the songs Launching place off The Good Earth, and Starbird, based upon Igor Stravinski's ballet The Firebird, on The Roaring Silence) and a number of their songs featured religious or biblical imagery (Prayer on the band's debut album, Buddah on Messin, Dylan's Father of day, father of night and In the beginning, darkness on Solar Fire, The road to Babylon and This side of paradise on The Roaring Silence, Resurrection on Angel Station).
Social criticism was tackled only minorly throughout the 1970s (Black and blue on Messin' dealed particularly with slavery, and Chicago institute on Watch with mental institutions and science as a mean of social control), a trend which grew throughout the 1980s, with songs such as Lies (through the 80s) on technological progress vs. social setbacks on Chance, and with Mann's growing involvement with the anti-apartheid movement which spawned the 1982 album Somewhere in Afrika. Mann's intention for acknowledgement of oppressed ethnics also influenced the 1992 album Plains Music working with traditional North-American natives material.
The breakthrough for the band in the US came when they had a No. 1 pop charts hit in early 1975 with Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded by the Light." While the Springsteen original from 1973's Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. album has a folky, acoustic sound, the Manfred Mann's Earth Band version is driving rock, combining Mann's Moog synthesizer and organ work with Flett's guitar. Manfred can be heard singing at the end of "Blinded by the Light", in counterpoint, with Thompson---it was this feature of the song that initially attracted him. The band took advantage of the publicity and re-released another Springsteen song, "Spirit in the Night", which had been recorded the previous year on Nightingales and Bombers, originally with Rogers on vocals---although for some territories it was re-recorded with a vocal from Thompson.
The Roaring Silence.jpgrightthumbThe Roaring Silence, 1976
The albums Nightingales and Bombers, The Roaring Silence, and Watch followed. Watch produced another hit single in "Davy's on the Road Again", and the albums were original despite the dependence on covers of other artists' songs. Nightingales and Bombers took its title from a World War II naturalist's recording of a nightingale singing in a garden as warplanes flew overhead; the recording appears in a track on the album. Roaring Silence featured a guest appearance by jazz saxophonist Barbara Thompson, and Watch included two stand-out recordings from the band's live performances of "Davy's on the Road Again" and "Mighty Quinn."
The 1980s
Flett left before 1979's Angel Station to be replaced by Steve Waller, sharing the vocal duties with Thompson who was also intent on pursuing a solo career. 1980's Chance showed a move towards a more electronic approach, and produced several cuts that were hits in the UK and/or saw significant airplay in both the US and UK. The songs "Lies (All Through The 80's)," "Stranded," and "For You" (another Springsteen song) still receive significant airplay over 25 years since their release. Trevor Rabin (also born in South Africa and at the time a session musician in London) guested on the album.
By the late 70s and early 80s Mann had become active in the international anti-apartheid movement and was banned from entering South Africa, the country in which he had been born. Undeterred, members of the band made journeys to South Africa to record African musicians for the album Somewhere in Afrika, pre-figuring Paul Simon's Graceland. The album included a cover of The Police's "Demolition Man" and a version of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song," which remains in the band's set today.
Recent years
Manfred Mann's Earth Band has continued recording, covering tracks by artists as varied as Paul Weller, Robert Cray, Del Amitri, and The Lovin' Spoonful. Mann released a solo project, Plains Music, based on Native American music, and his album 2006 includes collaborations with the German rapper Thomas D and tracks featuring the music of, amongst others, the Super Furry Animals. The Earth Band remain active in live performances in Europe, with a line up that includes both Manfred Mann and Mick Rogers.
Most of the band's albums have been re-released in recent years and a 4-CD set (Odds & Sods - Mis-takes & Out-takes) featuring many previously unissued versions of tracks was released in August 2005. This includes material from the unreleased (and thought to be lost) Manfred Mann Chapter III Volume 3 album and the first Earth Band album, Stepping Sideways. The fourth CD in the package includes both unreleased studio material and live performances.
December 2006 saw the release of the best-of DVD Unearthed 1973-2005 The Best of Manfred Mann's Earth Band. This features twenty tracks ranging from three recorded in Sweden in 1973 ("Father of Day," "Captain Bobby Stout," and "Black & Blue"), to a 2005 performance of "Mighty Quinn."

I am so devastated. My husband and I bought in Woodstown two years ago specifically for the school district. There are 3 kids from "the project" in my second grader's classroom and their outragous behavior is really becoming a problem. I feel like I have no choice but to pull both of my kids out of Shoemaker and send them to a private school. I hear there is a good one in Mullica Hill. What else can we do? Is there anything that can be done to save Shoemaker? Ideas anybody?

Hint of farmyard on the nose, but unmistakeable cedar and pencil too. Clearly fully evolved and probably in gentle decline, but fading fruit compensated by leathery complexity. Served slightly on the cool side, which probably helped. Highly enjoyable.
Meget bra klassisk bordeaux. Pent moden, men tåler å ligge lengre.
The cork was still in good shape and it came out nicely using a Teflon coated Pull Screw. The wine was decanted with only a light sediment left behind. The color was light with a slight tile on the edge. The bouquet was a beautiful cedar and tobacco with a bit of dead leaf and saddle. There is also a bit of iodine and minerality. The taste is consistent with the bouquet. there is very little tannins left in this wine. The texture was of medium body even though the color of the wine was very light with a great deal of transparency. It is a very enjoyable wine of great complexity and with still enough fruit to hold interest. The fruit was also very evolved although not at all over the hill. Some may consider this wine past the peak of the plateau but I feel that it is well compensated by utmost complexity and with just the right type of profile for a mature claret. A lighter wine is a very good thing when the flavor is full and the complexity is all there. I would consider this wine at peak maturity myself. Loved it with a properly prepared French menu.

Slight discolouration, orange-red, rusty. Also pretty evolved on the nose, cedar, spice box, earthy, leathery, plummy - expressive and pretty opulent. On the palate not a lot of concentration, a bit tired, mineral, hardly any tannins, subtle, round, lacking grip, medium- finish, nice, but not much depth. Drink up, past its peak. 87-88
Text book mature claret, cedar nose and gently fading fruit. This may be gently declining, but this bottle was extremely enjoyable.

Water Intrusion
BSC was retained to investigate and analyze concerns relating to water intrusion and accumulation in a large, high-end residence in the Southwest. The residence, which was built within the last 15 years, is a wood-framed building with stone and stucco cladding, many large windows, and a complicated roof. BSC's investigation found that rain water was leaking into the walls through multiple pathways including cracks in the stucco and stone claddings, at the base of the walls, at the window and door openings, and at roof-wall intersections. These leaks were caused by a consistent failure in the original construction to provide a continuous drainage plane/water resistive barrier. Testing of the window systems demonstrated that water leakage was occurring through the window frames as well. In order to correct the deficiencies, complete sections of stucco and stone wall cladding were required to be removed and replaced. The retrofit work required reconstruction of the drainage details at the base of the walls, at the roof to fascia interface, and at wall openings and penetrations. Existing windows were replaced with new windows. BSC developed the repair details and installation processes. As part of the commissioning, BSC also worked with the contractors to field test the repairs.

Server 2008 R2 (Release 2, aka Second Edition) on the other hand is related to Windows 7, both are NT 6.1. And that is also why I call Windows 7, a Vista Second Edition.
MS didn't change the server 2008 name, because there was no need. They changed name of Client OS because of bad rep that Vista got.
That partially clear the water, but I'm still confused. Is there any point in keeping WS2K8 installed? In other words, would W7 combined with WS2K8 offer everything that having separate OSs installed would?
Secondly, if SP2 is the same for both Vista and WS2K8, why was the one that I got for WS2K8 a beta, when I don't think that the one for Vista was?

Crofton Meadows gets Blue Ribbon
Crofton Meadows Elementary School today was named a National Blue Ribbon School by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, becoming the 12th county school and the second school in the South River cluster to receive the prestigious honor.
Crofton Meadows, one of 269 schools across the nation to be recognized today, is the fourth county school in the last five years to receive the distinction. The 468-student school is one of nine Maryland public and private schools to receive the honor.
"We are ecstatic about this recognition," said Crofton Meadows Principal Derek Burns, who is in his second year at the school. "This award is the ultimate culmination of our 23-year legacy of exceptional teachers and staff, supportive parents, and - most of all - talented students."
National Blue Ribbon Schools are awarded based on one of two criteria: the ability of schools with at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds to dramatically improve student performance to high levels on state tests; or schools whose students, regardless of background, rank among their state's highest performing schools on state assessments.
"Our nation has no greater responsibility than helping all children realize their full potential," Secretary Duncan said in making the announcement. "Schools honored with the National Blue Ribbon Schools award are committed
to accelerating student achievement and preparing students for success in college and careers. Their work reflects the conviction that every child has promise and that education is the surest pathway to a strong, secure future."
Last year, 99 percent of Crofton Meadows Elementary School students who took the Maryland State Assessments (MSAs) performed at the proficient or advanced level in reading, while 98 percent of the students scored proficient or advanced in math.
"The entire Crofton Meadows community should celebrate this incredible accomplishment," schools Superintendent Kevin Maxwell said. "Student success comes about through a great deal of teamwork and dedication, and Crofton Meadows is a perfect example of that."
In addition to Crofton Meadows, Benfield (2000-01), Bodkin (2000-01), Broadneck (2007-08), Folger McKinsey (2004-05), Jones (2002-03), Mayo (1996-97), Oak Hill (1998-99), and West Annapolis (1998-99) elementary schools; Severna Park Middle School (2005-06); and Severna Park (2010-11) and Southern (2008-09) high schools have earned National Blue Ribbon distinction.
The school will be honored by Secretary Duncan at an awards conference in Washington, D.C., on November 12 and 13.
A complete list of National Blue Ribbon Schools can be found at www.ed.gov/nationalblueribbonschools.

As a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley (class of '91), a.k.a Berzerkely, I am by now fairly inured to displays of political correctness — the totalitarian impulse in action — on campus. I saw enough demonstrations — including one that turned into an actual riot with the burning of cars and the looting of stores on Telegraph Avenue — not to be shocked by most of what goes on in our citadels of higher learning. But I admit I am still deeply dismayed to see the treatment accorded in recent weeks to two of the people I most admire in this world — Michael Oren, the noted historian and Israeli combat veteran who is now Israel's ambassador to Washington, and General David Petraeus, head of Central Command.
Oren spoke at the University of California, Irvine; Petraeus, at Georgetown. Both are unusually thoughtful individuals who are happy to engage in a civilized debate with just about anyone. But what greeted them was hardly civilized. Both speeches were thoroughly disrupted by hecklers — in the former instance, by members of the Muslim Student Union who are presumably opposed to Israel's very existence (at least, judging by the rally they held afterward, chanting "anti-Israel, anti-Israel"), in the latter instance, by opponents of the war in Iraq, who loudly tried to read the names of Iraq War dead. You can see the videos here — for Georgetown and Irvine.
The demonstration at Georgetown was particularly disturbing in light of the common trope heard among the anti-war movement that they "oppose the war but support the soldiers waging the war." In this case, their disrespect for our greatest general — a man who has repeatedly risked his life in the country's service and whose son is now putting his own life on the line as a young officer — gives the lie to the slogan.
I can only hope that the universities in question take appropriate steps to deal with these campus hooligans. Anything short of expulsion, or at least suspension, would seem to be a wrist-slap that will only encourage more such misconduct in the future and make a mockery of the free speech that universities are supposed to champion.

Last week you may remember news that scientists have discovered that a big chunk of the West Antarctica ice sheet has been irrevocably destabilized. It's going to slowly melt into the ocean, raising worldwide sea levels by about four feet over the next decades and centuries. If the whole sheet goes, it would raise sea levels by about 10-13 feet.
So folks over at Climate Central handed data they had collected about coastal mapping to an artist named Nickolay Lamm, who made some amazingly realistic pictures (published below with permission) of what famous cities would look like if the sea level rose by 12 feet.
Here's the Jefferson Memorial:
Here's Ocean Drive in Miami:
Here's AT&T Park in San Francisco:

Right before midnight on Tuesday, two passenger trains in India's Madhya Pradesh state derailed at a crossing near the flooded Machak River, killing at least 29 and injuring 70 more. Officials said Wednesday that up to 600 people were on the two trains, which did not collide, and at least 300 people have been rescued from the wreckage. Indian rail officials blamed the accident on monsoon rains, which they say washed away soil from under the tracks, sinking a section into the muddy ground.
In a tweet, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the accidents "deeply distressing," and his government said the families of the deceased would each receive 200,000 rupees, or about $3,100. You can see scenes from the accident in the Associated Press video below. Peter Weber
On Monday night, 14 Republican presidential candidates gathered together on a New Hampshire stage for their first debate. On Tuesday's Daily Show, almost retired Jon Stewart barely had time to mock them. (Don't worry, he set aside a few minutes, with Sen. Ted Cruz getting the brunt.) "I shouldn't complain about the Republican race being such a circus," Stewart said. "At least it's fun to watch. The Democratic primary is basically one joyless Bataan death march to a Hillary Clinton nomination."
And then the rumor that Vice President Joe Biden is thinking of entering the Democratic race — and pundits touting Biden's proclivity for gaffes as a political plus. "Really?" Stewart asked, skepticism mixing with glee. "So the reason loose-lips McGee f—ed up his 2008 presidential run is now the reason he's a viable candidate? You know, not just blurting shit out, that's a pre-Trump presidential quality. Post-Trump, it's all about saying the crazy." Hasan Minhaj got in on the fun, "reporting" from "Clinton campaign headquarters" that Clinton is furiously engaging in "gaffe prep" to fend off the Biden challenge. If you like to laugh and don't mind mild vulgarity, watch below. Peter Weber
One of the best parts of The Onion, and a staple of news satire, is the point/counterpoint format. In Wednesday's New York Times, op-ed contributor Goodwell Nzou provides a real-life counterpoint to the prevailing U.S. outrage of the killing of Cecil, the Zimbabwean lion allegedly killed by a Minneapolis dentist.
When he read about Cecil's demise, "the village boy inside me instinctively cheered: One lion fewer to menace families like mine," writes Nzou, who is working toward a PhD in molecular and cellular biosciences at Wake Forest. And when he found out that the dentist is being treated as the villain, "I faced the starkest cultural contradiction I'd experienced during my five years studying in the United States." He continues:
Did all those Americans signing petitions understand that lions actually kill people? That all the talk about Cecil being "beloved" or a "local favorite" was media hype? Did Jimmy Kimmel choke up because Cecil was murdered or because he confused him with Simba from The Lion King? In my village in Zimbabwe, surrounded by wildlife conservation areas, no lion has ever been beloved, or granted an affectionate nickname. They are objects of terror. [Nzou, New York Times]
Nzou goes on to wonder why "Americans care more about African animals than about African people," then puts Cecil's death in a bit of context: "Americans who can't find Zimbabwe on a map are applauding the nation's demand for the extradition of the dentist, unaware that a baby elephant was reportedly slaughtered for our president's most recent birthday banquet." Read the entire op-ed at The New York Times. Peter Weber
The Daily Show is probably best known for Jon Stewart skewering conservatives, cable news, and Arby's, but some of its greatest segments don't have Stewart in them at all. Over the years, Daily Show correspondents have delivered field pieces from as far away as India and as close as midtown Manhattan, and some of the most memorable interviews involve people saying really crazy things on camera. The most-asked question of Stewart in his recent sadistic Q&A, he said on Tuesday's show, is "are the people in the field pieces real?"
Senior Correspondent Correspondent Jessica Williams came on to answer that: "They are real, and they do know who we are, and they don't care because we bring a camera with us.... Jon, it's like Girls Gone Wild, except they flash us their controversial ideas." To prove her point, Williams went and re-interviewed two previous subjects who, as she said, are "still returning our calls." One man, gun rights advocate Noel Flasterstein, said enthusiastically that he still likes to watch his interview with friends, and the doubling-down by Harlem pastor James David Manning — with a new, unpalatable flavor of crazy thrown in — has to be seen to believed. You can watch below. Peter Weber
"Somebody's lying," said Larry Wilmore on Tuesday's Nightly Show, in a segment dedicated to the effort to strip Planned Parenthood of all federal funding. The most recent Republican attempt to defund the women's health organization was spurred by videos showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing how they deal with tissue from aborted fetuses — Planned Parenthood says it makes no profit from donating the tissue for research, while the group that secretly filmed and edited the videos says the officials are admitting they do sell the tissue.
In context, Wilmore said, it seems clear that the Center for Medical Progress is the one lying, and "context really matters when it comes to Planned Parenthood videos, just like context matters for that text you sent last night." There's no context allowed on Fox News or in GOP talking points, so "that's why I'm calling this Planned Parenthood attack for what it really is: It's a pap smear campaign," he said. "That's exactly what it is. And in a pap smear campaign, people don't care about facts." The segment ends with an absurdist enactment of what it would look like if the GOP succeeds in its ongoing effort, and you can watch it all below. Peter Weber
The FBI has started looking into the server that Hillary Clinton used for email while she was secretary of state, focusing on the security of sensitive information once housed on the server, at her and Bill Clinton's New York home, and now held on a thumb drive by Clinton's lawyer, David Kendall, The Washington Post reports. In the past week, the FBI has also contacted Platte River Networks, an IT firm the Clintons hired to help manage the server in 2013, after Hurricane Sandy shut it down for a period. The investigation is preliminary, and the FBI isn't targeting Clinton or accusing her of any wrongdoing, two officials tell The Post.
"The government is seeking assurance about the storage of those materials," Kendall told the newspaper. "We are actively cooperating." The Justice Department and Platte River Networks declined to comment. You can read more at The Washington Post. Peter Weber
What has 21 bedrooms, nine kitchens, and keeps bankrupting people? That would be the Farmington, Connecticut, home that rapper 50 Cent says costs $72,000 a month to maintain and has previously been owned by Mike Tyson and a millionaire convicted of bankruptcy fraud.
50 Cent's house has 9 kitchens, 21 bedrooms, a casino and costs $72,000 a month to maintain http://t.co/sBM64hOlto pic.twitter.com/2OwTgyVD4P
— MarketWatch (@MarketWatch) August 5, 2015
On Monday, 50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) filed documents in a Connecticut bankruptcy court showing how much he spends a month on the enormous home, which sits on 17 acres and boasts 52 rooms, including a casino. Jackson purchased the house from Tyson's ex-wife, who ended up with the property as part of a divorce settlement after Tyson lost his millions, MarketWatch reports. Jackson bought the home for $4.1 million, and part of the $72,000 he spends a month goes to gardening ($5,000) and household supplies ($1,500).
The Boston Globe says the estate has a rather sordid history when it comes to the finances of its owners. It was built in 1985 for Benjamin Sisti, founder of commercial real estate brokerage firm Colonial Realty. Sisti, who paid $2.3 million for the home, eventually wound up in prison for bankruptcy fraud. The property went into foreclosure, and was bought by an import-export businessman named Romas Marsinkiavitchous for $2.7 million. He sold it to Tyson in 1996 for $2.8 million, reportedly while facing bankruptcy himself.
Best wishes to whoever winds up with the house next. Catherine Garcia

Q: My instructor for an upcoming workshop is requesting we
use English Distilled Turpentine. How does this differ from regular
turpentine? His painting medium is a mixture of English turpentine,
linseed oil, and dammar varnish.
A: English Distilled
Turpentine is very refined oil that is used to dilute oil colors and to
clean brushes. It has greater wetting properties than Artists' White
Spirit and needs to be stored in the dark because exposure to air and
light cause it to thicken. It is transparent, flammable, and has a
characteristic odor.

Chitin, like cellulose in plants and collagen in vertebrates, is a bio-molecule that provides strength and flexibility to most invertebrates. In a recent paper published in Plos One, Museum researchers Trish Weaver and Chris Tacker, along with their co-authors, describe organics consistent with beta chitin from a 34-million-year-old cuttlefish cuttlebone. Though not the oldest chitin signature obtained from fossils, their research represents the first chitin ever detected from an ancient marine mollusk.
Because chitin is a protein-linked structural sugar, it's generally considered unlikely to survive 34 million years in a marine environment. In this paper, the authors hypothesized that chitin might be present within these ancient cuttlebones and then described various high-tech methods they used to prove its existence. A donation of chitin antibodies from colleagues at the University of Ulm, Germany, allowed the group to conduct immunohistochemistry (IHC) at NC State University. The study also used Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) in Stockholm, Sweden; Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR) at NCSM; and Hyperprobe at Fayetteville State. Weaver and her team explain exactly how they determined that organics consistent with chitin were still present and how these organics may have partially decayed. "It took seven people from six different institutions working in four different labs to pull this one off," says Weaver. "It was truly an international collaboration, done on a shoestring budget. But it was well worth the effort." Check for the full article at www.plos.org [2].

Authorities in Southern Illinois are looking for a Wayne City, Ill. man who walked away from a federal residential reentry center in Evansville Thursday. Paxton D. Bruce, 34 was housed at the center after his supervised release on a previous federal drug conviction was revoked. The search for Bruce was centered in the Burnt Prairie area of northern White County, Ill. Thursday after a vehicle registered to the suspect's wife was found abandoned. White County Sheriff's police, assisted by a Carmi K-9 unit searched the area Thursday with no results. Bruce is described as 5' 10 inches tall and weighing about 230 pounds. In 2004, Bruce was sentenced to 168 months in federal prison on convictions of possession and distribution of methamphetamine followed by five years of supervised release. Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Paxton D. Bruce should call the White County Sheriff's Office at 618-382-5321.
29-year-old Brandon S. Skelton of McLeansboro has been sentenced to 8 ½ years in prison after pleading guilty to a Class-X felony charge of being in possession of child pornography. The child porn was found on his cell phone. He will also have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
A Carmi teen reported missing Wednesday night has been found safe and sound. 16-year-old Brittany Nicole Lloyd, a local gospel artist was located early Thursday afternoon. No foul play was noted in her brief disappearance.
A Federal Grand Jury has indicted 29-year-old Dillion Wayne Bailey of Albion on a single charge of possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute. The case stems from his arrest in White County last month.
The Edwards County Community Unit School Board met Thursday night. Members learned that the district ended the fiscal year in the red by $371,000. The figure was somewhat lower than what administrators had expected.
Gill Excavating and Woods Waterproofing have been approved to complete waterproofing work on the tunnel at Cisne High School. Funding for the work was provided through a state maintenance grant.
Motocross races start at 7 tonight at the Wayne County Fair. The fair wraps up Saturday night with a demolition derby. The Edwards County Fair opens Saturday with a big parade at 10 a.m. The Fair Queen Contest will be 5 p.m. Saturday.

The last four teams are poised to do battle in the UEFA
Champions League, and
FIFA.com users have identified their clear
favourites to lift the trophy. In our latest user poll, Sir Alex
Ferguson's star-studded Manchester United attracted a
remarkable 51.70 per cent of the votes cast.
Barcelona, who entertain the Red Devils on Wednesday evening in the second of this week's semi-final first-leg fixtures, trailed their Premier League opponents on 23.85 per cent of the votes. The first semi-final of the week sees Liverpool at home to Chelsea on Tuesday evening. The Reds and the Blues came third and fourth in our survey on 13.17 per cent and 11.28 per cent respectively.
United ahead on all channels
Even more astonishing than the margin of victory was the fact that the teams finished in the same order on all four language versions of FIFA.com. United achieved their top score of 60.42 per cent on the German-language channel, but even on the Spanish site, no fewer than 49.78 per cent of users responding to the survey felt Cristiano Ronaldo and Co were destined to ascend the European throne.
Barcelona, who share an identical undefeated record with their midweek opponents of eight wins and two draws in this season's Champions League, attracted 29.19 per cent of the votes from Spanish-speaking users. Both clubs are through to the semi-finals for the fifth time in the history of the competition in its current form, so the showdown promises to be a true clash of the titans.
Reds and Blues neck-and-neck
Liverpool and Chelsea, who cross swords in the Champions League last four for the third time, were hard to separate in the duel for third place in our poll. The closest result emerged from the French-language version, where Liverpool received 12.75 per cent of the votes to Chelsea's 12.36 per cent. By contrast, the English channel delivered victory to the Reds by more than two percentage points, Liverpool scoring 13.72 per cent to the London club's 11.67 per cent.
From this evening onwards, the tension and excitement will rise to perhaps hitherto unseen heights, before events on the evening of 21 May 2008 in Moscow prove the majority of FIFA.com users either right or wrong. Thank you for taking part in our poll to determine your favourites to win the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League, and we hope you'll join in and cast your vote again the next time we investigate the latest trends and opinions.

El Salvador utility Comision Ejecutiva Hidroelectrica del Rio Lempa (CEL) has awarded a contract for supervision of construction of the 67-MW El Chaparral hydroelectric project on El Salvador's Torola River.
CEL announced the award to a consortium, Eurostudios-Ingetec. It took bids for the work in early 2008. (HydroWorld 3/13/08)
The consortium is to supervise definitive design, construction, assembly, testing, and commissioning of El Chaparral, an El Chaparral substation, and extension of a substation at the 99.4-MW Cinco de Noviembre hydroelectric project on the Rio Lempa.
Astaldi S.p.A. of Italy was named winning bidder in 2008 for US$220 million turnkey construction of El Chaparral, including a roller-compacted-concrete dam, reservoir, and powerhouse containing two Francis turbine-generators. (HydroWorld 10/2/08) El Salvador President Elias Antonio Saca and CEL President Nicolas Salume participated in a ground breaking ceremony for the project.

Samsung Unpacked: Watch the Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge live video stream (Updated) September 3, 2014 at 9:18 am
One of the biggest events at IFA 2014 in Berlin is Samsung's Unpacked Episode 2 — and you watch a live video stream of the event right here, embedded below. Samsung will almost certainly unveil the Galaxy Note 4, which the company hopes will put it in good stead against the upcoming large-screen iPhone 6. The Unpacked event will probably be used to talk more about the Gear S smartwatch, and potentially two other new exciting products: The Galaxy Note Edge and the Gear VR.
Samsung Galaxy S5 unveiled: Fingerprint scanner, 16-megapixel camera, but still a plastic body February 24, 2014 at 2:00 pm
At its Unpacked event in Barcelona, Samsung has released the Galaxy S5. The Galaxy S5 is, for all intents and purposes, the Galaxy S4 but with a few cool new features: a fingerprint scanner, a heartbeat sensor, and some tech that constantly calibrates the OLED screen to compensate for ambient lighting, to ensure that those gaudy super-saturated colors are always present no matter the conditions. The Galaxy S5 is splash-proof (similar to the S4 Active), but not ruggedized.

Haha - you read my mind Richard, 'Happy Birthday Mrs W, here's your 16% share pressie'..
I watched her documentary yesterday and it wasn't comfortable viewing. Her '12 DTM season went from bad to worse and she frankly didn't exhibit the kind of resilience a top driver needs when the chips are down. The thing that struck me the most is that she seems to constantly attribute her issues to the gender argument, rather than just focussing on performance. She'd be much better off forgetting F1 and looking to WEC.

The best way to study for the ASVAB is to take practice tests and the most effective practice tests are those that you've never seen before.
Unfortunately, with ASVAB books and study guides after you've taken their sample tests once they're useless. Especially with math questions, you can never know for sure if you actually understand how to solve each problem or have just memorized the right answer because you've seen it before.
With the ASVAB Test Bank every test is unique. We use custom computer software and hand-designed practice ASVAB question templates to randomize the text, answers, and variables every time you take a new test.
Want to know how you stack up? When you're done with a practice test you can compare your score on each question to everyone else who has ever answered that question.
Get a question wrong? Each question has a detailed answer explanation from our virtual ASVAB tutor so you'll know exactly how to get it right the next time.
All that's left is to get started! Use the menu at the top of the page or follow these links to take a free 2015 ASVAB practice test:
Whether you're aiming for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard ASVAB Test Bank can help you hit your mark.

TRANSCRIPTOME 2002: From Functional Genomics to Systems
FLJ cDNA Project in Japan
Sumio Sugano, Human Genome Center, The Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, JAPAN
Although a huge data of draft and finished sequences of the human genome are now available, it is still not a trivial task to identify genes from genome sequences. Thus, a full-length complementary DNA (cDNA), which is a complete DNA copy of mRNA, is required for the identification of a gene and the determination of its structure. We are now participating FLJ cDNA project to collect and sequence full-length cDNA clones under support of ministry of economy, industry and international trade. In this project, we extensively used cDNA libraries made by Oligo-capping method, a cap targeted selection procedure for full-length cDNAs. So far, we have accumulated more than 800,000 5' end sequences through random sequencing of cDNA clones from about 100 kinds of human cDNA libraries. Among them, 12340 clones have been fully sequenced. The accuracy of the sequences was more than 99.95%. The average length of cDNAs whose sequence were determined was about 2200bp, which distributed from 1kb to 5kb. Furthermore we could cluster 5' end of many mRNAs (more than 5000 genes), which could be mapped to onto the human draft genomic sequence. The detail of this project will be presented.
