Yesterday I wrote about Thomas P. M. Barnett, the author of the Esquire profile of Admiral Willam Fallon, head of Centcom, who resigned following the article's publication. I have long known that Barnett is a goofball, but it turns out that I didn't know the half of it.
Back in 1989, when one East European Soviet satrapy after another was collapsing, Barnett, as I noted yesterday, wrote a fawning article about the "shrewd and farsighted" Nicolae Ceausescu who had just been "unanimously reelected at the recent Communist-party congress" and whose "grip on power appears firm." Two weeks later, Mr. and Mrs. Ceausescu were shot dead, and Barnett had egg — sunnyside up — on his face.
But what I did not know was that a few days after penning "Romanian Domino Stays Upright," Barnett returned to the scene of the crime with another op-ed in the same newspaper, where he explained "Why Ceausescu Fell." The beauty of this particular piece was that he failed to say a word about his previous analysis. Just a few weeks after telling readers about Ceausescu's firm hold on power, here he was going on about the "people's deep anger over their long history of oppression" and how Romanians became "ready to choose death over Ceausescu."
This deft intellectual switcheroo evidently helped win Barnett an appointment at the Naval War College, "where he taught and served — in a senior advisory role — with military and civilian leaders in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, Central Command, Special Operations Command, and Joint Forces Command." The quotation comes from Barnett's autobiographical statement, available on his website, a remarkable piece of self-inflation for someone whose accomplishments, like his analysis of the Romanian revolution, have arguably subtracted more than they've added to the sum total of human knowledge.
Another typical example. On his website, www.thomaspmbarnett.com, Barnett exhibits a consistent fascination with what he calls the "apartheid structure" of Israel. As a self-described "prolific blogger," he has written numerous posts that are variations on the theme of Israel as "pariah state."
One of them is an analysis of Israel's laws of citizenship, which Barnett describes as "defined by blood or faith." The "historical basis for Israel as a state," he writes, "is to recollect that tribe that got spread all over the planet in centuries past, and it doesn't get much more racial than that."
But in the same post, Barnett then pulls a modified, limited Ceausescu:
Now, if I'm wrongly interpreting what it takes to be an Israeli citizen, somebody please correct me and much of this post's logic will gladly dissolve, but it's long been my impression that only Jews (defined by blood or faith) are eligible to become full citizens of the state of Israel.
If this proposition is false, and non-Jews can enjoy "all the same citizenship and political participation rights as any Jew living there," continues Barnett,
then I withdraw this post entirely and confess my profound ignorance on this particular subject.
Of course, the readily ascertainable fact is that many Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Zoroastrians, and even Wiccans live in Israel and enjoy "all the same citizenship and political participation rights as any Jew living there."
What can one say, except to ask why, when writing on a politically delicate subject, does this distinguished goofball disdain to do his research first instead of proudly parading his "profound ignorance"?
Michael Scheuer undoubtedly knows the answer to this question, and so, in his own way, does Eliot Spitzer. Obsessions and compulsions can get one into deep trouble, intellectual and otherwise.

Diamond dreams coming true?
Like millions of boys across the Western Hemisphere, Wil Crowe decided at an early age that he wanted to be a Major League baseball player.
But unlike the vast majority of those boys, Crowe has worked to build the skill-set to do so.
The 18-year-old pitcher from the state champion Pigeon Forge Tigers is a likely pick in this week's Major League Baseball First-year Player Draft, which begins tonight at 6 p.m.
"I'll just be honored (wherever I'm chosen)," Crowe said Wednesday. "If it's the first pick of the draft or the 1,200th — I think that's how far it goes — I'm just going to be happy.
"To know that my dreams are becoming a reality, whether I (get drafted) Friday or Saturday or go on to South Carolina, I'll just know that everything I've done is paying off. It'll just be an honor to get picked."
The draft will be broadcast live on MLB.com.
Some analysts have Crowe listed as high as the first round, or the supplemental picks between rounds one and two.
Should Crowe last until the third round (some sites have him pegged as a 4th-5th rounder), the big righty's selection won't come until Friday. Rounds 3-10 begin at 12:30 p.m.
The Tigers' all-state player said three teams he's been in contact with, the Cincinnati Reds, Arizona Diamondbacks and Florida Marlins, have all indicated he could be a first-day pick.
"They've all said they're highly considering me in the compensation round (right after the first round)," Crowe said. "They all have picks, and it's (pick numbers) 34, 35 and 37."
During the Tigers' season, any time Crowe pitched MLB baseball scouts showed up in droves.
The 6-foot-3, 230-pound senior said he talked to scouts from almost every Major League team, and some teams even brought in front office personnel to gauge the him.
Crowe had an incredible senior season at Pigeon Forge.
On the mound, he was an amazing 16-1 with 10 shutouts, four no-hitters and two perfect games. In 98 innings pitched, he surrendered just 37 hits and 14 walks while striking out 187 batters. Opposing hitters batted just .116 against him.
He was also great at the plate, where he compiled a slash line (average, on-base, slugging percentage) of .454/.557/.874. Crowe finished with a team-leading 12 home runs, and he also added 51 runs scored and 53 RBI.
His stellar play last season, combined with a great summer effort, was enough to elicit a scholarship offer from NCAA powerhouse South Carolina prior to this season, which Crowe accepted.
That was before the MLB scouts came calling and early-round draft possibilities came into play.
"It was crazy," Crowe said upon learning of his possible high-round status. "We had no idea.
"(ESPN writer) Keith Law's first top 50 prospects (was published), and I'm 42nd. My dad was just looking at the computer one day, saw it, was scrolling down and saw my name. He freaked out. He called coach Guinn.
"It was crazy. I didn't get told until later that day. He told me and I couldn't believe it. It just shows me that everything I've done is paying off."
But that doesn't mean Crowe is certain he'll forgo his college experience to turn pro.
He said South Carolina head coach Chad Holbrook has been very open with him in the process.
"Whatever decision I make, he's happy for me," Crowe said. "He doesn't me to sell myself short (if I'm drafted later) is what he's told me. He wants me to make sure if it's life-changing money (from an early-round selection) then take it, (but if it's not) he doesn't want me to go.
"If I get money that's life-changing, then he understands. But if I don't, he really wants me to come because he thinks I'll double or triple that value in the next three years."
While amateur players can't retain agents, they are allowed advisors to guide them through the often-confusing process.
Crowe's advisor is Darek Braunecker of Frontline Athlete Management, an organization that oversees some $700 million in athletic contracts for MLB stars such as A.J. Burnett, Cliff Lee and Jeff Samardzija.

Minardi competed in F1 for twenty years before their Australian owner Paul Stoddart sold the lot to Red Bull in 2005. In the entire time Minardi competed in Formula One they scored 38 points. Today, Sebastian Vettel scored ten points in one go, by putting a Minardi across the finish line first.
He didn't win by luck or for any other reason than the fact that he had the best car and drove the best race. He was impressive to say the least, and showed on the podium that you can actually enjoy yourself when you win.
He's the youngest driver to have ever won a grand prix, but he drove like a man with many more years experience in F1 than the year and a bit that he has.
During the Turkish Grand Prix in 2006, at just 19 years of age, he became the youngest driver to have ever competed at an F1 event by driving a BMW in Friday practice.
He then took over from Robert Kubica last year after the Pole had his serious crash during the Canadian Grand Prix, and became the youngest driver to score an F1 point during the subsequent US Grand Prix.
So he's had some previous with being 'the youngest' in F1.
He then replaced Scott Speed at STR in July of last year, where he quickly started to get peoples' attentions and he's already being talked about, by Germans, as being the next Michael Schumacher.
And on the strength of today's form, you can certainly see why!

I don't run across many Cheval mirrors that I would like to own save for a few nice Renaissance Revival and Merklen-style spiral-carved varieties, but this one with Gothic details caught my eye. This one is large – 7′ x 4′ and 2′ deep. The seller is characterizing it as Aesthetic Movement with Gothic carved crest, but in my mind there is more Gothic than just the crest and I'm not sure what is Aesthetic about it (gilt incising?). There are trefoils and crockets in the feet, incised Gothic arches in the stand arms. The feet themselves are arched in a flying buttress form and there are pointed arch finials at the bottom trim area.
The support stand incorporates Elizabethan style hollow and solid spiral-carvings that would rival any Merklen Brothers work, though is dissimilar to their style.
Elizabethan and Gothic resurged in Europe in the 1890s, so it is possible that this explains this combined design and suggests a timeframe and place for it's manufacture.
More at the listing.

Redding CT?
We are possibly moving to Redding CT. What's there in terms of food staples? The grocery store, the coffee shop, the little local haunts, the fancy places....
Where does one feed themselves in this town and/or area of CT?
The Georgetown section of Redding has a few restaurants on Main St. Off the top of my head I can think of Delfino's Seafood, the Georgetown Saloon, and Rancho Allegre. I really like Rancho Allegre for Mexican food, I think it's one of the better spots for it in all of FFD county.
That section of town should also see growth over the next several years if the Georgetown Land Development Co is successful at creating a village on the old mill property.
You definitely need to visit the Schoolhouse at Cannondale. It's a fave here among fellow Hounds. It's in Wilton, only a short ride from Redding.
In nearby Ridgefield there are many restaurants. A couple of excellent options are Bernard's and the Elms Inn.
You must go to the New Pond Farm, it is the cutest farm that sells, fresh milk, eggs, cheese and the best yogurt I have had to date. It is a gorgeous piece of property. I went to the cleanest best pizza place in Bethel but I forget the name sorry but it is next to a cute Italian restaurant that looks like a European spot. Good luck and it is my favorite town in Fairfield County.
Redding is one of the last towns in Fairfield County that didn't go commercial. I don't *think* there's even a grocery store in town (could be wrong though)...pretty much the post office, the bank, etc. And the townspeople LOVE it that way!
The only resto off the top of my head is the Redding Roadhouse:
Its a cute little spot out of the way....but most people go here for ambience over food.
You'll have to out source probably most of everything. Depending on which section of town you're in....Wilton/Ridgefield, Danbury/Bethel, Trumbull/Fairfield will more so become your regular haunts. Not sure if you've been to a Stews yet, but there's one in Danbury.
Zobot's recommendations are spot on (LOVE the Schoolhouse).
I always thought however the Georgetown area was associated with Weston rather than Redding (I grew up in Weston so I may be wrong). There is a small grocery store over there as well called Carlucci's (?) - but I couldn't tell you a thing about it becuase I probably haven't stepped foot in there for 15-20 yrs.
But most of all, don't worry....you'll find everything you need close by. And enjoy how lovely and untouched Redding is if you do end up moving there.
re: amanda3571
The Georgetown district straddles Redding, Wilton and Weston. It even has its own telephone exchange. But the restaurants mentioned above, all near the intersection of 57 and 107, are squarely within Redding.
Redding is pretty spread out. You have the area near Wilton / Ridgfield, which will give you more options in terms of shopping & food. Then you have the area by Easton, which has very little options (the Spinning Wheel is around there someplace, as is the BlueBird diner). It's not a bad town by any means, just that depending on where you are, you may have to travel 25 minutes to get anywere. Where are you moving from?
re: HunterJay
moving from rye brook....it will be a big chage but we want to live in a rural area for gardening/horses/chickens.

Anti-Trafficking Review
Issue 3, to be published 2014
Special Issue: 'Following the Money: Spending on Anti-Trafficking'
Deadline for Submission: 15 December 2013
Anti-trafficking funding and work has mushroomed since the 1990s. Lacking is analysis of those anti-trafficking funds - where they come from, who they go to, what they are meant to do, what they actually achieve, and indeed whether they are needed.
Donors, organisations and trafficked persons' priorities are not always aligned when it comes to how to spend money. In a first indication of a global mismatch between donors and organisations, AWID's 'Where's the Money for Women's Rights?' survey of over 1000 women's rights organisations shows that donors prioritise anti-trafficking (placing it in their top 10 list of priority issues to fund) more than women's organisations (who do not see anti-trafficking among top 10 priority issues). Trafficked persons may or may not benefit from money flows aimed in their direction, or indeed may suffer as a result of anti-trafficking spending. Many organisations specifically dedicated to anti-trafficking think donors do not prioritise this issue enough. Others feel anti-trafficking funds, especially for more surface-level awareness campaigns, divert attention and money away from substantial human rights work on issues concerning workers, migrants, woman and children.
Of course, politics behind anti-trafficking money abound, and recipient organisations wonder whether they should take 'tied' funds, funds with restrictions or 'dirty' money that, for instance, may have originated from the profits of a company that employs workers in exploitative conditions. HIV/AIDS organisations struggle to decide whether to take up funds from a donor that mandates they stop handing out condoms. In recent years governments have rushed to spend money on a range of poorly designed initiatives in the hope of moving out of a low ranking in the US government's yearly Trafficking in Persons Report.
The Anti-Trafficking Review calls for papers for a Special Issue 'Following the Money: Spending on Anti-Trafficking'. This issue will present well-researched articles that analyze the funding landscape. The journal is interested in what kinds of organisations and work have been raised up by anti-trafficking funding and what work has been sidelined or excluded as a result. The journal is interested in studies of money trails that reveal how anti-trafficking money has changed the world for the better or for worse. Papers may address:
Total amounts allocated by government and private donors since the beginning of 2001, including any identifiable shifts in the geographical areas to which money has been allocated or the purpose of funding;
Investments made by donors during the first decade since the Trafficking Protocol which have (or have not) had a noticeable impact—and lessons that donors may have learnt about what sort of spending actually prevents human trafficking;
Motives behind anti-trafficking funding, such as, for instance, self-promotion in awareness raising campaigns, versus 'genuine' anti-trafficking goals;
Tied aid, restrictions on spending, and foreign policy agendas such as democratisation behind aid;
How spending on anti-trafficking compares to related sectors, now or historically, and whether increases in allocations to anti-trafficking can be seen to have reduced allocations to specific other sectors (and with what results);
How funding for anti-trafficking is divided between prevention, protection and prosecution or other core anti-trafficking activities and whether this split is justified;
How money is accounted for, and what return donors seek for their funding;
How organisations have benefited in particular from the inflow of money for anti-trafficking initiatives, and with what wider ramifications;
How independent funding sources are, and impacts on programming when a proportion of funds is linked to State funding mechanisms.
This issue features a 'Debate Section'. We welcome articles addressing the question: Is there too much or too little money for anti-trafficking?
The Review promotes a human rights based approach to anti-trafficking, and it aims to explore the issue in its broader context including gender analyses and intersections with labour and migrant rights. The journal offers a space for dialogue for those seeking to communicate new ideas and findings. Academics, practitioners and advocates, working for, with and including trafficked persons and migrants are invited to submit articles. The Review presents rigorously considered, peer reviewed material in clear English. The journal is an open source, annual publication with a readership in 78 countries.
Deadline for submission: 15 December 2013.
Word limit: 6,000, including footnotes and abstract

Can Darwin help you date?Published 22 January, 2013
Corresponding author: Nathan Oesch
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Oxford, UK. Evolutionary psychologists have recently turned their attention to issues beyond the traditional academic world of psychology. The powerful insights provided by a Darwinian perspective may be able to help solve problems in the real word, in addition to resolving esoteric debates. Encouraged by the great potential for human benefit, evolutionary scholars are setting out to bridge the divide between theoretical and practical.
The funny thing is, the bridge of applied evolutionary psychology had already been built, and was generating millions of dollars for some outside of the ivory tower. Those in the self-described Seduction Community claim to use the empirical insights of evolutionary psychology to coach effective courtship strategies.
So can these strategies really help men meet, date, and ultimately seduce women? Advertisements for guides to meet and mate with women have been found in the back of comic books and men's magazines for generations. Recent popular books claiming to portray evolutionarily informed accounts of human sexuality appeared to be sorely lacking in scientific basis. In the interest of a more balanced appraisal of this literature, Nathan Oesch at the University of Oxford and Igor Miklousic at the Ivo Pilar Institute of Social Sciences decided to review these seminal works by seduction coaches.
The authors note a common assumption is that so-called 'pick-up artists' or dating coaches are shady characters and the methods they use unscientific, unethical and manipulative strategies to gain female attention. This may be accurate for some figures or consumers within the industry, yet the authors contend that "a much larger portion of this material represents an informed, constructive and underappreciated guide to dating and relationship science, often informed by an evolutionary approach to human behavior."
In sum, they concluded that a significant portion of this material does demonstrate and informed approach to meeting people, dating and relationship maintenance. Some of the reviewed themes, such as 'direct' and 'indirect' conversational starters, found substantive support for both ways of initiating conversations. Furthermore, the favorable personality traits often promoted by Community literature, such as humor and creativity, are consistently rated as desirable in the psychological mate choice literature. Additionally, concepts like 'pre-selection' which predict that women will view men more favorably, seen in conversation with other attractive women, are grounded in much psychological and biological research, typically known as mate choice copying behavior.
Interestingly, the authors also found original material that could inspire additional research examining its validity. However, the authors also recognized the potential for misuse or manipulation with this information, and so included a word of caution in using portions of this material. Like any piece of technology, it has the potential for abuse if used unethically or improperly.

WASHINGTON, April 26, 2004 In the changed world after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, Saddam Hussein's threat to the United States and the world couldn't be ignored any longer, President Bush said today in Minneapolis.
"One of the lessons of Sept. 11 is that when we see threats, we must deal with them before they fully materialize," Bush told attendees at a community college convention. "I saw a threat in Iraq."
Noting both the U.S. Congress and the United Nations agreed with him, Bush pointed out that Saddam had attacked his neighbors and used weapons of mass destruction on his own people. The former dictator also paid assassins "to go kill Jewish people," he added, consorted with other terrorists, and ignored the United Nations for a decade. Saddam refused "to listen to the demands of the free world," Bush said.
The president said he wasn't willing to endanger American security by trusting a madman and hoping for the best. "I will always make the decision to keep America secure," Bush told the Minnesota audience.
Today, Saddam is gone and America and its allies are working to make Iraq secure and free, the president said. That, Bush acknowledged, is hard work.
The efforts in Iraq will pay off, the president said, because "a free society in the midst of a region of the world where there's hatred and intolerance will be a historic moment for change for the better." Iraq, the president said, represents "a historic opportunity to spread peace and freedom."

BROWNSFORK – Katherine Caudill wasn't sure what to think this week when she learned ornaments placed on her father's grave had been destroyed. It was something unthinkable.
Her father, Floyd Lewis, passed away in December and the family recently placed several items on or around his grave, including an angel, a plaque, and several lights. But on Thursday, she discovered the lights had all been broken and the angel had been smashed to pieces. The plaque, the base of which had been sunken into the ground for stability, was apparently pulled up and tossed into a stand of weeds a few feet away.
"I'm all to pieces," Caudill said on Thursday, standing over the grave and looking down at the result of what she believes is vandalism. "This is devastating. Why would someone fool with my daddy's grave?"
Both Caudill and her neighbor, Velda Lewis, said some have claimed that horses could have been responsible for the damage at the Lewis Cemetery, located on a hillside at the head of Brownsfork. While there were four horses standing next to the damaged ornaments early Thursday evening, nether Caudill or Lewis are convinced the animals would toss a plaque several feet or smash another ornament into dozens of pieces. And a headstone placed at the grave of Lewis's late uncle, Matt Collins, had been turned sideways atop its base.
"How could a horse have picked [the plaque] up and put it here, and turned the headstone around?" Caudill asked.
Lewis noted they did call the Perry County Sheriff's Office, and a deputy arrived on Thursday to document the scene. She said she hopes authorities will be able to determine exactly what happened to the graves.
"The owners of the horses, I think should have to pay for this stuff if [the horses] done it," Lewis said. "We'd just like to have some justice."
"Let the dead rest in peace," Caudill added. "It's what they're supposed to do."

The Webster Police Department and the New York State Police have released autopsy results from the Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office.
Michael Chiapperini died as a result of a single gunshot wound and Tomasz Kaczowka died as a result of two gunshot wounds.
The suspect, William Spengler, died as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot to his head. There was no evidence of any other gunshot wounds to Spengler.
The remains found inside Spengler's house on Lake Road are still being confirmed at this time.
As far as the weapons involved, the ATF has assisted the New York State Police with obtaining information on the origin of the weapons. Investigators are still working to trace the history of the weapons and confirm how Spengler came to possess them.

Helping Hands of Georgetown, a nonprofit that helps people in need, is now operating an emergency dental clinic, thanks to 20 local dentists, other volunteers and area businesses and civic groups.
The clinic is now providing extractions on Thursdays for uninsured Georgetown County residents who meet income requirements.
The clinic opens each Thursday at 3:30 p.m. and extractions begin by 5:30 p.m.
It is first-come, first-served, and currently serves up to six people each Thursday.
No appointments are necessary, but patients need to bring the following items: photo identification, proof of income (Social Security statement, check stub, etc.), a list of monthly expenses, your physicians contact information, and a list of current medications. Registration and extraction take several hours.
The Helping Hands Emergency Dental Clinic Steering Committee includes Sharon Thomas, Helping Hands executive director, Dr. E. Benton DuBose, Lauren Hensley, dental technician, Dick Rose, Rose Family Fund, Dr. Nicholas Papadea and Dick Schwab, Helping Hands board chair.
Our research told us there was an issue with dental decay for people in poverty but seeing it first hand has been an eye-opening experience, Thomas said.
Watching people come in in pain and leave with smiles on their faces is very heartwarming.
Schwab said the clinic is operating because of the generosity of 20 dentists and several dental technicians who are volunteering their time.
We are very blessed with the outpouring of dentists who are willing to give up one evening every few months, leaving family, and sometimes their practice early to come in to Helping Hands to work, Schwab said.
He added that in the eight weeks the clinic has been open, more than 100 teeth have been pulled because many patients have two or more teeth in need of removal.
Schwab said each Thursday dental assistant Lauren Hensley, a volunteer with the clinic, admits the first eight people in line.
Six people of that group will get teeth extracted and two are on stand-by in case any of the first six are turned away because of paperwork or medication problems.
He said this clinic is very necessary in Georgetown County because many low-income people are forced to put off dental care.
My observation is that if youre at poverty level, you are worried about food, clothing and shelter, and medical care is probably a fourth concern, he said.
Dental care on down line from that. If it comes down to paying for a dentist and feeding your children, you are going to feed your children.
The Murrells Inlet Elks Lodge helped make the dental clinic possible by writing and receiving a grant for $10,000 through the National Elks Foundation to help with start up costs for the clinic.
Richard Hessel, Bill Carman, Sally Arnet and David Chacon were on the committee that worked on the grant.
Hessel said the group was looking for a grant writing opportunity and the Helping Hands dental clinic was the perfect choice.
We put our heads together and made it work, Hessel said.
None of us had written a grant before, but we were approved the first time.
He said helping people is what the Elks are all about.
If everyone did something for somebody every day on a regular basis the world would be a better place, Hessel said.

12 Great Neighborhoods
An insider's guide to the Twin Cities nodes you need to know
Jonathan Chapman
(page 1 of 9)
The Scoop:
• Character: Lowertown, the classic artists' hub, is awakening from a deep, dark slumber to become the Warehouse District of St. Paul, albeit with more art and fewer nightclubs. What began with a ring of restaurants and bars around Mears Park now has developers leaping over one another, spurred by the Light Rail, the revival of Union Station, and a new Saints stadium. All those construction cones, locals insist, are a harbinger of good.
• Food: Locally loved, nationally known Heartland favors organically grown food from local farmers. The casual elegance of Tanpopo Noodle Shop has made it a favorite of artists, whose other nexus is the Black Dog Coffee and Wine Bar. The Amsterdam Bar & Hall is the place for craft beer and music. And Barrio's Lowertown outpost lures in the happy-hour crowd with its fresh guacamole.

• Shopping: Many of the area's top restaurants source their food from the St. Paul Farmers' Market, and visitors should start there, too, for fresh baked goods and live music—and stop back for produce before leaving. Start in on the galleries and studios during Lowertown First Fridays; it's hard to beat the Northern Warehouse and Tilsner buildings, the original revamped artist co-ops, for atmosphere.
• Culture: Along with the spring/fall art crawls, the neighborhood's biggest draw is its three-day Jazz Festival, June 27 to 29, which has attracted such top national acts as Esperanza Spalding and Chick Corea. The Baroque Room goes retro (like really retro) with chamber-music concerts, lectures, and recitals—a true 21st-century salon.
• Green space: The Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary is perhaps the best place for skyline views, but that's not why locals come here: the 27-acre park is, well, a sanctuary in the city. There are soaring bluffs, prairie grasses, and a cave—the Wakan Tipi—that's sacred to the Dakota. Plans to connect the neighborhood to the nearby Mississippi River are still in the works.
Lenny Russo, chef and proprietor of heartland restaurant and farm direct market
I'm from Hoboken, and sometimes I like to think of Minneapolis as Manhattan—a very cosmopolitan place—and Lowertown as Brooklyn. What you see here is a groundswell generated from the artistic community. That gives us a different kind of energy. There's diversity, both cultural and economic, and there's a lot of integrity. You can see that in the architecture, which we've generally preserved. You can see that at the farmers' market, which is the heart and soul of Lowertown. It's a real farmers' market—you can't go there and buy oranges. And we have some of the most incredible events, like the Twin Cities Jazz Festival, and Concrete and Grass. With so much development slated between now and 2015, we'll have even more street vitality. For a long time, we had too much parking and not enough people. That's beginning to flip-flop, but it's a problem we're happy to have.

U.S. banks prepared to take advantage of Euro lenders' cautions, WSJ says
U.S. banks are preparing to advance in the sector after reporting earnings, with executives touting the gloom coming from their European counterparts as a major opportunity to capitalize on their newfound advantage, the Wall Street Journal reports. On Thursday, Deutsche Bank (DB) CEO John Cryan said that the company must "shrink" its balance sheet, while Barclays (BCS) chairman John McFarlane said that Wall Street lenders are "an enormous threat" to Euro investment banks, the report says. On the other hand, Morgan Stanley (MS) chairman James Gorman said after reporting earnings last week that the company is poised to advanced in the debt trading sector, and that "there's a potential for, over a period of time, share gain for our business," the report says. In addition, Goldman Sachs finance chief Harvey Schwartz said that the company is "seeing potential big restructuring on the European side," the report adds. Publicly traded companies in the European space include Banco Santander (SAN), Barclays (BCS), Credit Suisse (CS), Deutsche Bank (DB), HSBC (HSBC), ING Groep (ING), Lloyds Banking (LYG), RBS (RBS) and UBS (UBS). Publicly traded companies in the U.S. space include Bank of America (BAC), Citi (C), Goldman Sachs (GS), JPMorgan (JPM), Morgan Stanley (MS), U.S. Bancorp (USB) and Wells Fargo (WFC).

Banks pitch total-return swaps as stock purchase alternative, WSJ reports
Banks have been pitching certain hedge fund clients on using derivatives instead of actual stocks when placing certain bets in an effort to lessen the impact of new capital rules on the banks' businesses, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the efforts. The shift involves derivatives known as total-return swaps that mirror the effects of owning a stock or other asset, the report says. Units of Bank of America (BAC), Goldman Sachs (GS), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Morgan Stanley (MS), and UBS (UBS) are among the banks asking clients to shift trades into total-return swaps instead of underlying securities, the report says.

On The Fly: Top stock stories at midday
Stocks on Wall Street were slightly higher at midday in the first trading day of a week that will be light on domestic economic data but heavy on earnings reports. Investors will be receiving profit reports from about 25% of the companies on the S&P 500 this week, making this the highest volume earnings week of this season. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., no major data was released. In Europe, Greece reopened its banks three weeks after closing as the country worked out another bailout agreement. The country announced it has started the process of paying off its creditors, including the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund, with a bridge loan it just received. COMPANY NEWS: Lockheed Martin (LMT) agreed to buy the Sikorsky Aircraft business from United Technologies (UTX) for $9B, noting the price is "effectively reduced" to $7.1B after taking into account tax benefits resulting from the transaction. Shares of Lockheed, which also reported better than expected second quarter results and increased its fiscal year guidance, gained nearly 2% after the Sikorsky announcement and saying it will conduct a strategic review of its government IT infrastructure services business and technical services business... Shares of Morgan Stanley (MS) shares were little changed near noon after the bank reported earnings and revenue, excluding certain adjustments, that topped analysts' consensus forecasts... SunEdison (SUNE) announced a deal to acquire Vivint Solar (VSLR) for approximately $2.2B, payable in a combination of cash, shares of SunEdison common stock and SunEdison convertible notes. In connection with the proposed acquisition of Vivint Solar, SunEdison has entered into a definitive purchase agreement with a subsidiary of TerraForm Power (TERP) which, concurrently with the completion of SunEdison's acquisition of Vivint, will acquire Vivint Solar's rooftop solar portfolio, consisting of 523 MW expected to be installed by year-end 2015, for $922M in cash. Shares of Vivint rose 44% following the announcement, while SunEdison's stock gained 4% and TerraForm dropped 3%. Fellow residential solar installer SolarCity (SCTY), which is backed by Tesla's (TSLA) Elon Musk, rose 7% following the deal in the space. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Exelixis (EXEL), which rallied 43% after the company reported that a study of cabozantinib in metastatic renal cell carcinoma met its primary endpoint of significant improvement in progression-free survival. The shares were indicated to rise even more in early pre-market trading, but lost some of their gains after Bristol-Myers (BMY) announced that its Opdivo study was stopped early after showing superior overall survival in a Phase 3 study of previously treated patients with advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Bristol-Myers rose a bit less than 1% to trade near $70 per share after its own announcement. Also higher was PayPal (PYPL), which gained more than 5.5% in its first day of trading after being spun out of eBay (EBAY). Meanwhile, eBay shares rose over 2%. Cal-Maine Foods (CALM) dropped 8% after posting lower than expected sales and profits in its fourth quarter and warning that while it should have an adequate supply of its primary feed ingredients, the company expects that prices will be "volatile" in the year ahead. Also lower were shares of several gold miners, including Barrick Gold (ABX) and Newmont Mining (NEM), which each fell about 11%, as gold prices declined about 2% near midday. INDEXES: Near midday, the Dow was up 31.66, or 0.18%, to 18,118.11, the Nasdaq was up 9.81, or 0.19%, to 5,219.96, and the S&P 500 was up 2.82, or 0.13%, to 2,129.46.

That's just Manny bein' a high schooler
Apr 26, 2011, 8:44 AM EDT
There's a neat feature by Sara Rimer over at the New York Times today: an in-depth remembrance of Manny Ramirez as Rimer first saw him: as a baseball-killing high schooler from Washington Heights.
Rimer goes on to explore the essence of MbM, for all of its good and all of its ills. And as is always the case when I read something in-depth about Manny Ramirez, I can't decide if there is something much more to the guy than meets the eye or something much less.
The second time he came up, he tapped home plate with his bat, the way you would see him do it later in the majors … Then he called a timeout, taking his right hand off the bat. But the umpire did not give it to him. Everyone who was there swears Manny did not have time to get his right hand back on the bat, that he swung with one hand. I can't really say that I saw it. Maybe I was too busy taking notes.
The ball went over the left-field fence and all the way to the old handball courts on the street below. It had to be more than 400 feet. His teammates and the fans were screaming: "Oh my God! Oh my God!"
As was the case in his major league career, that other-worldly talent was paired with inscrutable personal habits and motives, most of which seemed to say "I just want to be left alone," all the while showing a side that seemed to demand attention, whether it was intentional or not.
Call the guy whatever you want. Because really, just about every possible label fits.
- pisano - Apr 26, 2011 at 10:09 AM
Baseball is much better off without him. Being a Yankee fan I didn't have any use for him or the Red Sox, but with the crap he pulled on the Sox and their devoted fans is unforgivable. I've always admired the Sox and their fans for the support they give the team. I hope this guy fades into the sunset and is never heard from again.
- Lukehart80 - Apr 26, 2011 at 10:58 AM
If by "crap he pulled" you mean playing a massive part in the team winning their only World Series championships in the last 90 years, then yes, Manny was truly unforgivable.
- pisano - Apr 26, 2011 at 12:17 PM
Lukehart80…. I understand your post, but when you dog it in the field and are constantly a disruption on the team, and you're making 20 mil. per to me the bad outweighed the good. Even his teammates got tired of his act. The Red Sox had enough of his show and moved him. Besides without the juice who knows how good he really was.
- Lukehart80 - Apr 26, 2011 at 1:31 PM
I guess only Red Sox fans (which I am not) can decide whether the good outweighed the bad or not. If he'd stayed in Cleveland and his 2001-2008 seasons had happened in an Indians' uniform, the Tribe had won the World Series twice, and then his first-half of 2008 had happened, I'd have been thrilled with the overall Manny Ramirez experience.
I suppose Yankees' fans can perhaps sacrifice a couple championships to be free of some headaches and irritations, most franchises/fan bases don't have that luxury. I don't mean to sound like a jerk when I say that, I just think Yankees' fans really do have a different perspective on this type of thing, due to the huge amount of success their favorite team has had.
- Victor's Secret - Apr 26, 2011 at 10:23 PM
As a lifelong Sox fan, I have never been able to be angry at Manny or Damon for anything they did after 2004. I don't think I could ever thank them enough for bringing us that World Series. Damon's clearly an idiot, but that grand slam in game 7 has been ironed into my memory forever. And Manny's whole 2004 season – there's no way we got there without him.
I wasn't sad to see him go when he did, but there's no way the bad could ever outweigh the good he did for us in Boston.
- iftheshoefits2 - Apr 26, 2011 at 12:02 PM
Manny was a lot of things outside the batters box, but I find it hard to believe any basball fan didn't enjoy watching Manny hit. The guy was a savant. As a Yanks fan, he's put my stomach in knots over the years, but he was just plain fun to watch Manny swing a bat. And I don't care what he took- even injecting the souls of small orphan children doesn't help you recognize and destroy moving 2 seam fastballs on the outside corner like that.
- marshmallowsnake - Apr 26, 2011 at 1:02 PM
I loved Manny in Boston until about year 5…then he just went off the bus somewhere, like an alien had taken control over him…
- elguaro98 - Apr 26, 2011 at 1:20 PM
I could assure you this is true. I was there. I was part of that team. It happened in late April 1991 again Brandis HS (Jose "Kiki" Jimenez). Manny has never been a public persona. Although his way of playing the game made him and I don't think he ever got around that. We used to called him the "La Tabla" the wood plank.
- WhenMattStairsIsKing - Apr 26, 2011 at 1:49 PM
What, who are you?
- pisano - Apr 26, 2011 at 5:32 PM
We used to call him" La Tabla" the wood plank. Were you referring to his mentality?

I guys i would like to know, do anyone know any sites out there on how to process cotton by hand without a cotton gin and also on flax.
Here are a few FO's:
Well here it is. It seemed to take forever but it was really just a little over a week but then I had all that time in the car on the way to Taos.
So at last writing I was starting a project that let me explore something a little more complicated than simple knitting and purling. I was choosing between a sweater and a sampler scarf.
Hey guys,

Apple Mail question
good afternoon everyone. First time here. I work in the IT department and mostly support PC's,but we do have a few macs here. Anway, was wondering if someone could help me out. basically we run Exchange 2003. One of my users is using Apple Mail and wants to know if he is able to access the Global Address Book much like Outlook users. also, using Mail, can he access the calendar feature, like if he wants to schedule events and appointments. I've been doing some searching and talking to other mac users here,but not much luck? Is there a way to do these things using Enterouge? Thanks!
um...calander, yeah. entourage can do that fine. As for the address book, entourage HAS an address book, but i've never had the means to check to see if it will link with a global book. I know of a website that answers like 1000 etourage questions (mostly doubled up, but they are some good ones) that I can check or let you know about if you're thinking of running the entourageMac route.
Microsoft has a nice page on using Entourage with Exchange
The linked whitepaper should help you.

miss opinion...
I am so FRUSTRATED with the way things on GH are going right now . So many characters making bad choices .
I agree in some ways here...Sonny how ever, is a man with a dark side and manic illness and I know first hand it is a nightmare and u love one minute and then u doubt all around u and hallucinate the next...right now he is obsessed with Carly.. typical male wanting what he cant have....I would like to see him set Carly Free free to choose.....the harder he pulls at her the more she will pull opposite way.....Its just to sad watching GH right now her heart is broken....Ric is totally making me angry....how he can be above the law to do and manipulate what he choose makes him worse then any mob boss at least u know where they are at Illeagal...Ric is using the law to do illeagaly wrong things, cause he hates and is manipulative.....poor Liz has infact lived a LIE so long now that I hope she gets a good break and has test ran again and baby is Luckys.....they could have developed NIC and baby Spencers story better, I do enjoy watching on that note cause it is the closest to a happy ending that I am seeing in sight here......all else seeems to be built on lies and deceit....that was why I was hoping GH would keep to a good story for Sam and Jason..... I guess happy ending isnt thier.....I totally disagree how they will negate the honesty and all that Jason and Sam has been thru, by portraying Sam to be a con and Liar...She has been checked out soo much, and her love for Jason so real....U dont keep trying to find your way back to someone who keeps pushing u away, like those 2 did.......I would so delite in a happpy story fror those 2.....I will probably give up on GH for awhile. If they cant stick to at least 1 good storyline, like I was seeing for Jasam, now all that I have read in the spoilers is for not cause of WHY....?????
I agree with most of what you guys said...but!

After three seasons in the NHL, Gene Ubriaco returned to the game as the coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1988.
In 1994 he moved on to become the first head coach of the Chicago Wolves, then part of the International Hockey League. The team is now a part of the American Hockey League and Ubriaco is the Director of Hockey Operations.
In Part One of a two-part interview, Scott Charles speaks to Gene Ubriaco about the AHL and the state of the Chicago Wolves.
How would you describe the AHL as a league?
It has been a great league to work with. It is unfortunate we are not able to use the AHL as well as we can.
It has been a great league for some of those kids. But the young kids who sign a three-year entry level deal sometimes need the three years. Unfortunately, for some players, they are rushed along because they were drafted in the first round.
A lot of players need more time in the AHL to have a long career in the NHL. Teams do not do a good job of being direct with them.
Players just want to know how long it is going to take them. Just give me a program, and I'll be able to follow it.
A lot of times, teams rush people because executives do not want to look bad when a high draft pick is in the ECHL. Many players have been ruined because they got pushed too much and expectations were too high.
The Wolves have been one of the best franchises in the AHL. How do you account for that?
I think it is just the people around the organization. If you want to have a good franchise, you have to have the ability to run things properly. You have to make a commitment to winning on and off the ice.
Our owner Don Levin has accomplished both now. He has all the prerequisites of what an owner should be. One in particular is having a sportsman's mentality. That means a fellow that gets in the game for the right reasons. Directing a meaningful operation and making the franchise more than just a hockey team has been very important to him.
For me personally, it is great to work for someone who runs a team that way. I have been involved with many start up teams, this is my eighth from scratch. We are lucky that we have an owner like that.
How has the new partnership with the St. Louis Blues worked out?
It has really been coming along. It is kind of ironic because the club we had before was Vancouver. I say it is ironic because those are both rivals of the Chicago Blackhawks.
It is kind of neat to be involved with a team that is a good club. They sold their American League franchise and came on board with us.
How is it competing against the NHL's Blackhawks in the Chicago hockey market?
We never felt we really competed against the Blackhawks. When we came in, a lot of people had doubts about us.
Having been involved in hockey for so long, I looked at it as an opportunity to provide great hockey for the right price. I also thought eventually we would put the best show on in town for the money. That is the way we approached it.
We knew we had to get out and be fan friendly. Instead of just making fans we went out and made friends. I think the friends stand by you a little longer than fans. We have a good set up with a lot of friends who are Wolves fans. Our owner treats them like family.
We certainly feel we wouldn't be around without them and we try to prove that by the way we operate.
What is the biggest challenge you have faced going from player to executive?
I think every player has the same problem. That is looking at the game from a different perspective.
As a player you might react emotionally. I think that takes time to get over that.
I got a little lucky in that before I became a hockey coach I was in sales for two years. During that time I learned a lot, most importantly if you want to score you have to get a lot of shots on goal. If you want to sell any product you better knock on a lot of doors.
I had some good teachers and I think that really helped me. I looked at every player as his own program. I know I am never going to win every game but if I get players to improve, you can get a lot of success out of that.
We have had the best of both worlds with the Wolves, with players improving and the team winning.
Has there been anyone in particular you have learned from?
I learned a lot from a lot of people. One person who stands out was Frank Mathers when I spent some time with the Hershey Bears.
He was a great coach and an even better person. In our day you did not get many hugs you got a lot of tugs. But I learned from Frank that I was working really hard for the players who tugged me and if I was smart I would work harder for the players who hugged me.
