Heroism, Cowardice, and the National Tragedy of Hidden Guilt
Charles Hayes: Today I feel very differently about the Vietnam War than I did in my youth, but my own feelings of guilt during that time give me a unique kind of insight into the psychology of courage and commitment. America has never had a shortage of courageous citizens willing to take up arms and fight to the death for reasons and causes beyond their own understanding. Arlington Cemetery in Virginia serves as proof. But my sense of the decades since the end of World War II is that America has and is experiencing a courage crisis of shameful origin and of tragic consequence.
Human Nature = Prejudice
Adam Eran: Vedantam suggests education, rather than confrontation, is what gets us beyond prejudice. The Obama presidential run ignored the obviously bigotry coming from his opponent's proxies, and suggested, without recrimination, that we give Obama a chance. That tactic, not Reverend Wright's understandable anger, was what worked.

To the Editor:
Ray Hartmann overlooks at least one interesting angle on the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals' finding that big campaign-contribution money is actually a form of speech ("Commentary," "Money Doesn't Buy Politicians?" RFT, Dec. 2): Even if it is, might it not be considered obscene? What if it's going around saying something really filthy? I mean, you don't know where that money's been. A few years ago, officials found that a high proportion of the paper currency circulating in California -- the actual bills -- had traces of cocaine on them. It really makes you think. Maybe Californians should launder their money more frequently, for hygiene's sake. Or maybe we should ask our money who it's been shaking hands with.
Jesse Cohn
To the Editor:
What is it that Jeannette Batz has against insurance companies?
First, we hear the insipid sob story of a probable felon being turned down for HMO coverage ("Exclusion No. 39," RFT, Nov. 11). Now, it's a couple who leave several thousand dollars' worth of high-depreciation-factor music equipment in a very stealable (but underinsured) car overnight, and who are really surprised when the insurance company turns them down after it all gets stolen ("You're in Grabby Hands," RFT, Dec. 2).
Here's a big shock, everyone -- insurance companies aren't welfare. They are in business to turn a profit. And they don't make profits if they pay out on claims that turn out to be crimes because they know that they won't recover the cash.
If you buy a policy, you should read it first. Then you don't have to be surprised when something happens and you find you aren't covered.
Someone needs to give ol' Jeannette a reality pill. Then we won't have to be subjected to stories of people who cry "victim" because they don't want to work for a living or are too stupid to clean their cars out at night.
Anne C. Young
To the Editor:
Thanks to Melinda Roth for her article "Of Wetlands and Wal-Marts" (RFT, Nov. 25). My, how time flies. It seems like just yesterday we were up to here in sandbags. Suddenly we all knew about the folly of building and rebuilding in the wetlands (at taxpayer expense).
Even 140 years ago an engineer tried to tell the Army Corps of Engineers that same thing. The pressure to "keep that water away from our businesses" put the levees up and sent the water down to the next town to worry about.
Now if we could just direct some of the team spirit I saw during the Flood of '93 into saving our environment!
Joan Murphy
To the Editor:
I read your "Commentary" on our deer problem ("Send in the Doe Boys," RFT, Nov. 25) here in Town & Country. I have always been a big fan of yours, so, needless to say, you really disappointed me on this one.
Your trivialization of our problem out here was too much. Gardens aside (and that's a whole other topic), to me the biggest problem is one of safety.
I was very lucky. My deer collision only resulted in the destruction of the front section of my car. The couple that was killed out here on Highway 40 by a deer collision wasn't so lucky. I found your smart-alecky approach really repulsive.
Joe Keller
To the Editor:
The outcry of some people against depopulating nuisance wildlife, especially to cull deer-herd size in Town & Country, is disingenuous. The fact is that hundreds of wildlife creatures are already killed annually in our community by disease, malnutrition and human intervention, and now many die because deer are destroying the habitat of their co-creatures. Deer/vehicle accidents inhumanely destroy about 80 deer every year, and this problem both escalates and is exacerbated by a deer population already three times more dense than the state Department of Conservation recommends for healthy populations and desirable suburban environments. Dozens of Bambis are killed or maimed by the sudden, severe application of sharp vehicle metal and other parts to deer bodies.
Even the most radical animal protectionists agree: Something must be done about the overpopulation of deer in Town & Country. Most folks tell us to "do whatever you have to do to cull the herd -- we have too many."
Neither torturous death by bumper nor slow starvation in a new location is humane. So, why are these options so preferred by some Town & Country residents to the swifter, less painful alternative of culling the herd using professional "bolting" techniques from the meat-packing industry? And why is translocation (an inhumane, almost always ultimately fatal process of removal to another location so they can be hunted and killed) an acceptable option for those who oppose skilled bolting?
One answer to both these questions is that "do nothing -- let nature take its course" and "translocation" allow their proponents the political, emotional and moral luxury of denial. Unwilling (or unable) to face up to honest solutions to a human and deer crisis that, in 1997, accounted for two human deaths, dozens of human injuries and hundreds of thousands of dollars of property damage in our small municipality, the denial crowd screams "bloody murder" and "deer holocaust" when elected officials struggle to reach humane decisions. These officials heed not only the diverse voices of their constituents but also the multiple voices of state conservation officials and deer experts so we can authorize the most humane method of depopulating our out-of-control deer herds. The inhumane, lethal alternatives of "death by bumper" and "death by starvation and/or death by hunter in a distant county" seem to absolve those in denial to their own satisfaction of any "blood debt" for the deer.

Apple, Samsung comment on $1 billion U.S jury verdict
Both Apple and Samsung have issued statements following the massive U.S. jury verdict earlier which saw Apple awarded just under $1.05 BILLION in damages, and Samsung awarded nothing.
Apple told The Loop
We are grateful to the jury for their service and for investing the time to listen to our story and we were thrilled to be able to finally tell it. The mountain of evidence presented during the trial showed that Samsung's copying went far deeper than even we knew. The lawsuits between Apple and Samsung were about much more than patents or money. They were about values. At Apple, we value originality and innovation and pour our lives into making the best products on earth. We make these products to delight our customers, not for our competitors to flagrantly copy. We applaud the court for finding Samsung's behavior willful and for sending a loud and clear message that stealing isn't right.
Samsung told AllThingsD:
Today's verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies. Consumers have the right to choices, and they know what they are buying when they purchase Samsung products. This is not the final word in this case or in battles being waged in courts and tribunals around the world, some of which have already rejected many of Apple's claims. Samsung will continue to innovate and offer choices for the consumer.
It's not over, of course, until it's over, and appeals are inevitable, but it's hard to tell just how much relief Samsung can expect following this decision. And how much more Apple can press for.
Update 1: Tim Cook has sent Apple employees a variation on Apple's statement.
Update 2: A Samsung executive was also quoted by a the Korea Times:
``It's absolutely the worst scenario for us,'' a senior Samsung executive said as he rushed into the company's compound in southern Seoul. Inside the building, Choi Gee-sung, former Samsung Electronics CEO and now the head of Samsung Group's corporate strategy division, was holding an emergency meeting attended by Shin Jong-kyun, the company's mobile devices chief, and Lee Dong-joo, lead marketing official.
Update 3: Google has finally weighed in and The Verge has the comment:
The court of appeals will review both infringement and the validity of the patent claims. Most of these don't relate to the core Android operating system, and several are being re-examined by the US Patent Office. The mobile industry is moving fast and all players — including newcomers — are building upon ideas that have been around for decades. We work with our partners to give consumers innovative and affordable products, and we don't want anything to limit that.
Innovative and affordable products, but not indemnification?

Apple, Samsung comment on $1 billion U.S jury verdict
I feel like it has a lot to do with it being their home turf. I really do hope that's not the case.
As for this decision, there really isn't a winner here. Apart from the lawyers. I only want the best of the best to be on the shelf for me, and these court fights aren't making that any easier.
One has to wonder how this will affect Samsung's partnership with Apple with regards to supplying parts. Samsung got their asses handed to them on a plate today and suffered major public embarrassment. They could just say "screw you" and cease manufacturing & shipping of any parts to Apple, no matter what the breach of contract costs may be.
Breach of contract costs? A full 9% of Samsung's yearly revenue comes from Apple Inc. Do you know what investors do when almost a tenth of the value of a company tanks? Sell! Sell! Sell!
Who's the new supplier? Buy! Buy! Buy!
I don't know what you do for a living, but most businesses aren't in the habit of saying "I'm going home, and I'm taking my ball with me!"
Well, the successful businesses don't do such childish things, anyhow.
What I do for a living is none of your concern. And it wouldn't be a childish action on Samsung's part. It would potentially screw Apple out of...let's say...a billion dollars in revenue. Business is business. It's a cutthroat industry which Apple proves through this endless litigation against one of their suppliers.
This is a tragedy to us consumers whether you are an Android or iOS fan. The only real winners here are the lawyers. Windows Phone right now is starting to look real good.
I completely fail to see how this effects consumers at all. If they ban a product then Samsung will slap something else together and market the crap out of VERY quickly. In six months "the consumer" will have plenty of choices. And probably better and different ones since Samsung and other smartphone manufactures will be forced to try to come up with some new and innovative.
Now I hope Samsung stops making anything for Apple. Make them scramble to find suppliers that can't keep up with production, and make more mistakes during production. Give them their billion and wash your hands of it. Samsung will have a friend by the name of Google, one of the few that can go toe to toe with the rotten apple.
Doing this would cost Samsung far more than a billion.
Yes, but it could hurt Apple more in the long run. Making them find a less reliable manufacture for higher prices.
I got no problem with healthy competition. I DO however, have a problem with outright copying. Innovate DONT imitate!!
OK. Since Apple was the first to do anything, right. Right.
Wrong. The first digital media player was in 1979 by Kane Kramer. The first smartphone was in 1973, although is nothing near what we would consider a smartphone. The next one that somewhat resembles what we see today is the 1994 Simon Personal Communicator. Which could browse the internet, send and read emails, all through a TOUCH SCREEN. The only thing Apple was first with is the tablet with their 1987 Newton. After that there was a slew of tablets from Microsoft, and Linux from 1994 till the iPad in 2010.
As far as copying goes. Ha, don't think Apple never copied anything. They all do. Google, Apple, Microsoft. Palm could make a killing suing Apple.
I really don't care about who won the case. BUT...
I for one wish that the patent system goes away...I mean really... there was a patent FOR ROUNDED CORNERS!!...
if Samsung had the same patent I would say the same thing. There shouldn't ever be patent's for things like that the patent agency should at least remove all these ridiculous patents from existence.
I can see patents that base on things of software, maybe how a software looks...but the bounce back thing that my iPhone does?...really...So can somebody patent the non-bounce back thing some browsers do?...then whats left...a shaking back thing if it goes off the page?
To me if there is a patent for something why is there nothing for the opposite...should it not be possible to patent every variation of anything?
For example...
Apple has the rounded edges on the corners of the phone, right?...so couldn't somebody patent sharp corners for a phone? Would that just leave jagged edges on a phone or something...and what happens if somebody patents that? What about the screen to glass technology Apple has...would it not be possible to patent a screen that is not to edge technology?
That is why I wish that the patent agency at least removes all these ridiculous patents. It should be like some other countries patent systems such as those like in Australia where it prevents some types of ridiculous patents from existing.
Also...why didn't Apple sue HP during the release of their Touchpad? Was it because Palm's patent portfolio covers even more than Apple's? or because Apple knew the Touchpad and products like that wouldn't be as large as how Samsung has become? You can look at the Touchpad and the iPad(original) and you can tell where inspiration has came from. I don't think Apple could even touch Palm since they have the patent for the smartphone architecture itself.
BTW, I do have an iPhone 4s on Sprint and like their smartphones(I am a PC guy all-around). To me its just Apple is ridiculous with all these patent lawsuits.
well said

Today was gorgeous! I hope you all went outside and enjoyed the perfect weather we had today in Southern California…I couldn't get over it! That's not the only reason today was good though–it was also the last day of holiday install at Anthropologie. So our Newport Beach store is all set and ready to go full force for Christmas! We actually have some great sales and some great items right now so you should come down and check it out. If you do, make sure to say hi. :) Here is what I've been working on these last couple weeks and some highlights from around the store.
Our two big windows…frosted silhouettes of trees and woodland creatures, green trees, and a winter backdrop.
Owl–hoo, hoo
Some of our smaller, side windows with some frosted framing
A detail of the frame border.
And some mini silhouetted scenes and creatures
In the front of our store we have these giant Christmas ornaments
and some smaller ones above the registers.
all linked together with precious paper chains! love it…
Our cardboard quilled wall
with ornaments nestled in the loops
Aaand, some ornament cluster trees.
Sorry for the long, image laden post! I hope these are inspiring the holiday spirit as we begin the madness of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Make sure you do something festive, like listen to Christmas music, light a Christmas-y candle, get an ornament, or buy a gift kind of early (I've already got a handful checked off my list…yess!!). I'm feeling the spirit this year and I hope you do too!

ARLINGTON (December, 16, 2011) -- Dennis Smith piled up 116 all-purpose yards, including a 66-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter, as Wimberley beat Argyle 21-14 in the Class 3A Division I state championship Friday.
Smith's only reception of the game was thrown to him in stride by quarterback Brady Lambert.
The victory marked the second state football championship for the Texans (15-0), who used a 76-yard touchdown run by Trinity Wilson in the fourth quarter to increase their lead to double-digits.
Wimberley won the 3A Division I championship in 2005.
Argyle quarterback Austin Aune, a TCU commitment, was held to 75 yards in the first half and finished with 239 yards on 22-of-39 passing and no touchdowns.
His most frequent target was Adam Khan.
Argyle finished 14-2.

Last season Newcastle endured a terrible run in November and December, winning just two out of 11 games.
This season, the same spell has seen them chalk up 22 out of 30 available points and Pardew can afford to look up, from eighth position, rather than down at a potential relegation battle.
Pardew said with a smile: "I feel like I am standing on top of the world at the moment compared to where I was last year.
"You have to have faith in your ability and faith in the work that you do. As a manager, you know you have ups and downs unless you are at one of the very, very big clubs and are fortunate enough to have the finance to have 22 full internationals, like Manchester City and Chelsea and Manchester United and Arsenal.
"We haven't got that luxury, so it's not a great day every week, and you have to accept that."
Meetings with West Brom have been hard-fought affairs in the last few years.
Pardew said: "They are usually tight games and it's difficult at their place. I always feel they score, West Brom, when they are home, so you have got to get two or three goals if you are going to win."
Two seasons ago the Magpies won 3-1 at the Hawthorns, and drew in April last season.
Pardew said: "We were brilliant (two years ago) and last year was even better because the point we got there was like gold-dust. It was a really tough game.
"Actually, if someone had said to me before these two fixtures, 'Would you take three points?', I probably would have because they are tough games.
"We have got a chance of getting those three points and I would be absolutely delighted if we could get three points at West Brom. I would look back on these two games and think, 'That's a good result'.
"There are a lot of games to be played between now and the end of May, and we are in great shape. We lost on Sunday (1-0 to Arsenal), but not in any manner which disturbs me."

Drinking water to quell the heat caused by too much capsaicin in a meal is ineffective, since the compound is not water-soluable. Here you can learn more about plant extracts here. The most effective antidotes are those containing fat and/or sugar. Capsaicin is fat-soluble, and sugar will block the receptors that are reacting with it, so if someone is really suffering, go for cheese or ice cream instead of ice water or beer.
All members of the pepper family that are hot have high levels of this compound. Here you can learn more about Herbal Extracts wholesale easily. Hot sauces such as hot salsa and Tabasco are high in it, and people can easily burn their mouths eating spicy foods if not careful.
Chili capsaicin is the chemical compound that makes chili peppers taste hot. You can find about Herbal Extracts Suppliers here. It is a skin irritant to humans and animals, and can cause a burning sensation if applied to the skin.Ingredients containing high amounts of capsaicin are widely used as flavorings in spicy cuisines.

The Strolling Scholars program allows faculty and staff the opportunity to discuss exciting new trends in education practice and policy while getting exercise! Interested participants share available times and are matched into groups of no more than 6.
Upon joining a group, each individual will have the responsibility roughly once a month to select a short article or blog post to be shared with the group at least 3 days prior to the walk. During the walk, that person will take responsibility for facilitating conversation between group members. This responsibility will rotate through group members, so how often each person is responsible for sending out an article and leading the discussion will vary based on the size of the group.
We ask that all participants bring water and wear clothing which is appropriate for moderate exercise and comfortable shoes. There will be several route options offered and the groups can also select their own routes.
If you have any questions about the program, please contact Erin Robinson (email@example.com) or 513-2421 with questions.

Now you don't have to wait until midnight for Black Friday sales – with more and more retailers opening early on Thanksgiving Day.
While most big box stores open later this evening – Kmart stores opened early this morning.
NewsChannel 3's Darragh Copley was there with dozens of customers as the doors opened.
"Well worth it, my toes are a little frozen, but it's worth it to save."
Shoppers started lining the Kempsville Kmart in Virginia Beach around 4 a.m. this morning for the earliest opening store on Thanksgiving Day.
"I think it's great, I know ya'll think we're pretty crazy out here, but to save a couple of bucks at this time of the year I think it's a good idea."
Forget the Black Friday frenzy that we usually see as the doors opened at 6 a.m.
Folks waited patiently.
"It gets you ahead of the rush, I like the rush, I like the hustle, hustle, bustle, I like it, it's kind of calm here today, I like it."
No pushing or shoving to get this year's hot ticket items.
"I'm waiting for the Android Tablet and two vacuum cleaners," says one shopper.
For the first time ever, Kmart stores are staying open through Black Friday.
"I love it, you know it's a way single moms get stuff for their kids, it's a way for people to get out and meet new friends and just have a good time with it."
Folks have the chance to take advantage of all the deals and discounts until 11 o'clock tomorrow night.
More stores are opening early on Thanksgving Day than ever before, which is causing some concern for employees who have to work on the holiday.
"We were very conscious of every schedule we made. It took me 12 hours to make my schedule for this store because I wanted to make sure every single person had an opportunity to be with their family today."
Keeping morale high among workers – pleasing dozens of customers who are enjoying the start to the holiday shopping season a day early.
"Shop, shop, shop 'til we drop honey, I'm going to Walmart and mall shop, shop 'til I drop!"

TO some, she may be seen as a voice crying out in the wilderness.But don't tell that to Lavern Deer, the crusader for Jamaica's women's football, who thinks her sermon to rally support is hitting the target in some quarters.To say her mission to rally financial and other vital support for the Reggae Girlz has been one without challenges would be a straight-face lie.Deer, a Jamaican living in Florida and who has been involved in diaspora activism for some time, has been knocking, and though the door has been slamme in her face many times, she keeps pounding.Hers is an unshakeable spirit and passion for a cause 'Deer to her heart' and quitting, she says— after one year of intense campaigning for awareness and support — is no longer an option."I started this venture exactly one year ago March 2012, and many times I have thought about throwing in the towel, but each time that thought appears something or some circumstance makes me realise that I am closer to the finish line and it's too late to turn back," said Deer, who holds degrees in health care and business administration.An example of her determination and ability to organise around her cause was on show when she spearheaded an awareness conference for Jamaica International Female Football Development Inc (JIFFD), an organisation set up to manage the fund-raiser portfolio and general welfare of girls' development.At that conference at the Sheraton Suites in Plantation, Florida, on February 15, she pulled together an impressive array of city and state officials, Congressional representation, representatives from corporate America, Jamaica government officials and leading figures in Jamaica's football.Representing the government of Jamaica at the formal event was minister with responsibility for sport Natalie Neita-Headley, and the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) had its president, Captain Horace Burrell, and chairwoman of the JFF Women's Committee, Elaine Walker-Brown, and co-ordinator of the women's programme, Vin Blaine.With such an audience, Deer and her south Florida-based associates preached their gospel, and if the response was anything to go by, it would appear that salvation for the cash-strapped Reggae Girlz could be around the corner."That awareness conference was a success, since then parents have contacted me because they heard of the Reggae Girlz awareness and want to help, and even hope to see their girl one day representing the Jamaican pride in a World Cup. Also, more organisations are getting involved to support youth development, particularly young girls in football. The JIFFD planning team did an excellent job," Deer told the Sunday Observer on a recent visit to Jamaica.As encouraging as that function was, the challenges in pursuit of JIFFD's goals remain present and real."The biggest challenge I have faced thus far is convincing some groups that it's ok to support women's football. I realise that while selling the product to the potential sponsors, I find also that I have to convince the local community, hoping to pierce behind the traditional stigma of women in sports," Deer noted.Though not representing them at this time, the tireless employee of Broward County Government where she functions as the chief administrator for the commissioner's office, said her trip to Jamaica to further sensitise interest groups and shore up other support was a relative success."Yes, I am satisfied and I can truly say I've achieved what I came to accomplish from this visit and more. I wouldn't say this is a waste of time or money, the purpose of this trip was to introduce the JIFFD programme to as many stakeholders as possible. Each individual I've met with loves the presentation and is willing to further discuss the issues and there were some verbal commitments made," Deer said.On the short trip to the island, Deer held a meeting with officers of the Cockburn Gardens Primary & Junior High School as part of JIFFD Education Initiative. "The school currently doesn't have a girls football programme, but their programmes and mission statement align with JIFFD's holistic approach, (and) they understand that sports is a channel to get students to comprehend by applying team work," Deer explained.Also, she met with Trelawny Parish Council officials, including Mayor Garth Wilkinson, Custos Paul Muschett and the local business sector in the parish to explore her organisation's development side, and the group was receptive to her stirring presentation."We discussed Lauderhill and Falmouth Sister City programme in relation to community development. We all are in agreement that a development programme will help enhance the community growth and development," Deer stated.In her efforts to expand JIFFD's support network, she had a meeting with Jamaica National Building Society to explore the possibilities of forging a working link."I introduced the programme to JN assistant marketing manager Stephanie Lugg and we agreed that programme development is vital to the community and country, and as part of that, we (JIFFD) have conceptualised exciting ways to generate more interest in the women's game, which in turn we hope will spur people to support matches and other related events at the local level," she went on.Deer revealed that her colleague Anthony March has been by her side all the way, and it was his input that laid the platform for the range of successful meetings on the island."He has been working with me since the onset of this movement, he travelled to Jamaica prior to my visit and had several meetings then accompanied me to some of the planned meetings," she ended.President of JIFFD, Lavern Deer, (second right) poses with (from left) chairwoman of the JFF Women's Committee Elaine Walker-Brown, Mayor of Falmouth Garth Wilkinson, and Trelawny football boss Linnel McLean at the Trelawny Parish Council offices on Wednesday.Under-20 Reggae Girlz Marlo Sweatman (left) and teammate Shenika Williams juggle the ball during a training session last year.

Reasonably priced, Real authentic tasty mexican prepared food. Well proportioned plating. My only negative is they open at 0900 for breakfast, I'd be there every week if they opened at 0700 for a good menudo or chilaquiles. But, there food makes up for a late waiting opening. Otherwise, I'm still going for supper. Incredible chili verde or their cocido. Just delicious!! Im surprised City of Hawthorne hasn't acknowledge this great family owned restaurant as a top eatery in their City being in business since 1978. If you haven't been there, go and you'll be hooked.

The Food and price are really great. Have gone there many times with my wife and son. We have taken my friend there and also have had great food and service. They really have great cooks as the food is always tender of cooked just right. Love the place.

I really like this restaurant, we visit about once or twice a month. The plates of food is very generous. The salsa is the best in town a must if you like Mexican food.

Nimbus Bag
After a rigorous comparison, I purchased the Nimbus. I must say, the performance in all areas including the shoulder straps have been by far superior to that of the other. I highly recommend this carry bag for all the purists out there, you will not be disappointed. Next bag purchase is the Chamber Cart Bag, awesome concept!!!

Shoulder Straps
Why doesn't Ogio ever show pictures of their shoulder straps? I can't find any web site where there is a picture. I purchased a 2014 Nimbus bag, and there is a problem with the shoulder straps. I am returning it. They ride out on the shoulders. I had a Ogio Spyke bag for about 10 years and I am getting it repaired. I never thought about the shoulder straps on the Spyke. They just worked. Ogio should take note of their straps.

Daniel Rod went 2-for-4 on Friday.
March 16, 2012
CINCINNATI- The Xavier baseball team opened its home season with a 1-0 victory over the Toledo Rockets. Xavier improved to 5-11 for the season and snapped a four-game losing streak with the win on Friday.
Vinny Nittoli pitched six innings of shut-out baseball, allowing only three hits while fanning four Toledo batters. Junior Seth Willoughby earned his fourth save of the year as he had a 1-2-3 ninth inning while striking out two.
Daniel Rod had two of the Musketeers hits and knocked in what would be the winning run in the third inning. Michael Moore reached by an error to start off the inning then Mark Elwell laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Moore. Moore reached third on an error during a pick-off attempt. Rod hit a line drive to right field to get the game's only RBI.
Michael Hamann threw seven innings for Toledo, allowing one unearned run and struck out seven.
The Musketeers face Toledo Saturday and Sunday, March 17 and 18, to conclude their opening weekend at Hayden Field. First pitch is set for 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Below is the poem entitled My truths which was written by poet
faulkner. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
James Faulkner
I've shed tears at the feet of humanity
Conjured thoughts of solution yet remained still
I've slit my wrist and bled liquidated ideas
Fears burden souls as I write my will
I've taken seconds for granted
Time gently strokes the strings of my heart
I've kissed the youth and held warm hands of my old
I've ran a thousand laps of life to find myself back at the start
I've knowingly dance with the devil
Cursed at God for unanswered prayers
I've clipped Cupids' wings resenting her smile
Karma's pushed me down life's many stairs
I've questioned the angels on their timing
Looking to the stars through pollution
I've prayed to God for understanding
I've received his reply yet to understand his resolution
I've walked a path of reality
Many night I've fallen to my knees
I close my eyes and believe
i just close my eyes and believe
just close em and believe so said the wiseman

Disabled Veteran Radio To Debate The Suicide Prevention Bill
Today on Disabled Veteran Radio I will debate The Suicide Prevention Bill That President Obama just signed into Law. The Bill is named after Clay Hunt of Texas, a Marine Corps combat veteran who struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and who killed himself in March 2011 at the age of 28. I have the audio of President Obama at Todays signing of The Suicide Prevention Bill 19 minutes. My question I am 45 years of age I have had PTSD since January 1990 and no one has never ask me to speak minus the small Talk Radio Shows I get on as a caller but FOX, CNN, CBS, NBC , ABC nobody is calling. My current Veterans Administration Psychatrist states I should have been diganosised with PTSD on the date of discharge but she is afraid to come out and make this statement because she will be fired honest to GOD ! But is any Senator or Congress Person or even The President listening to my side of the story pertaining to PTSD or are they calling my current VA Psychatrist to a Congressional Hearings to testify. How she is trying to help the disabled veteran and if she says something that needs to be corrected like in my case The wrong misdiganosis of personality disorder that I was labeled with so that me and Thousands of other Disabled veterans would miss out on VA BEnefits for years. This is the same Dam thing they did to Veterans, when our own Governemnt gave them Agent Orange. The bureaucracy yes does defintley stinks. But I will try Former Govenor Charlie Crist in this broadcast. I will reach out to Chuck Harder and I invite your calls.

I discuss the great time I had at HSN The Home Shopping Channel on Monday 2/23/15 . I have two audio clips from VA Secretay Robert A. McDonald. One is where he gets in a argument with a Republican Congressman Mike Coffman. The second piece with VA Secretary Robert A. McDonald is the latest AP Story.

Disabled Veteran Radio With VISIN
in Politics
In tonights one hour episode we find out that The Veterans Administartion , VISIN and even Robert A. McDonald The VA Secretary favorite word which is "I don't know". I talk about anger. The struggles that I battle everyday because of MONEY owed to me by The Veterans Administration for a misdiagnoses of a personality disorder which should have been PTSD on the date of discharge which my VA Psychatrist states to me but is afraid to say it so it would benefit me because she may be fired.. Also I still pose the question. Does anyone really care about Disabled Veterans Issues ?
Today I visited VISIN in Clearwater, FL. This is where you can go to report a problem that you may have with the Directors of Various VA Facilities or Patient Advocacy People.You would think that VISIN Offices would be on VA property. They are located in a Tall Fancy Richy Hi Rise called The Franklin Templton Building located on the 6th Floor. This is some seriously large square footage the Veterans Administration Pays Monthly Rent on but wait here is the kicker. If your a Disabled Veteran unsatisified with the VA and want to see an outside Dentist, MD, the VA will not pay for that. Yes that's right the VA pays it higher ups to work in Lavish Up Town Fancy Building they ponthly Rent on . There is some strong language in the 10 minute piece from VISIN in this one hour segment. Dear LORD help be informative, help be humble, help me with life,help me with firends, help me with family and most important of all help me help get DIsabled Veterans Fully Compensated.

In the second hour I play more classic rock with the focus on Fully Compensating Disabled Veterans for the misdagnoses and I talk about calling your Congress or Senate Person to tell them to get off their ass and pass HR 975 The Mental Health Review Act. Please help keep Disabled Veteran Radio on the air log ino http://billapgar.com
Disabled Veteran Radio Live Broadcast For 2 17 15 on WWPR Bradenton FL 4pm to 5p
This is the Live Radio Broadcast of Disabled Veteran Radio from today down in Bradenton, Florida on AM 1490 WWPR. In this broadcast we discuss PTSD. I talk about how The Veterans Administration still cooks the books and does not fully compensate the Disabled Veteran. I try to reach Robert A. McDonald the VA Secretary. I talk with Captain Dencil Powell of Rajun Cajun fishin Charters out of Brooksville, Florida. I call The HoneyBaked Ham Cafe by The Radio Station noluck and The Radio Shack by The Radio Station is packed with stuff. I purchased a Cincinnati Reds Bobble Head 26 Pena Pepsi Doll - Bat Broken. I also call The Sunshine Skyway Bridge to check on wind conditions. I am asking if you can help me keep Disabled Veteran Radio on the air in Bradenton and help expand the Radio Broadcast to other stations and hopefully Sirius Satellite log into http://billapgar.com to make a donation

We all like metrics, statistics, and measurements that let us know how we're doing. Released about a week ago, the 2009 Standish CHAOS Report should have plenty of numbers. Jim Johnson, the guy behind it all, cites some numbers pulled from the report. It appears failure is on the rise. In fact, it's the highest failure rate in over a decade.
I've always liked the Standish report. It's packed full of interesting and high impact statistics that can really help drive a point home - especially when you're on stage presenting. But you also have to be careful about reading too deeply into those number. It's very easy to metriculate, and some have challenged the accuracy of the numbers within prior reports.

It's very common for teams to use averages to communicate a measurement. The average number of lines of code per method or the average number of features delivered per iteration are simple examples. Most of the time, the average represents the mean, which is the arithmetic average of all samples from a chosen population. But average can also be used to refer to the median (the middle value in a series) and mode (the most frequently occurring value in a series). This can be misleading, and the result is metriculation.
Software development teams often use cyclomatic complexity (CCN) to measure the complexity of their code. Using a well-chosen average, it's easy to misinterpret, or miscommunicate, the results. Let's say we want to calculate the average CCN for a system. Consider seven methods with the following CCN:
Method 1: 3 Method 2: 3 Method 3: 3 Method 4: 12 Method 5: 120 Method 6: 85 Method 7: 15
Using this sample, the mean CCN is 34, the median is 12, and the mode is 3. While average CCN typically uses the mean, in this situation, the mean provides a false positive indicating poor code quality. Given a different sample, the results could be skewed in the opposite direction - providing a false positive indicating high quality.
Combining mean with median and mode may serve as a warning indicator. With a mode of 3 and a mean of 34, we might suspect a wide range of values. Another way to determine if the mean is an accurate representation of the sample is to calculate the standard deviation or variance. These represent the how spread out a distribution is. In this case, the standard deviation is almost 48. A number way to high for the mean CCN to provide an accurate representation of code quality.
The point here is that we have to be careful with how we use metrics as a measurement. Sometimes, additional analysis is required before we make a decision in how to proceed. While this example uses CCN, it would be easy to imagine other examples where this form of metriculation - the well-chosen average - might take place.
Metriculation is derived from statisticulation, a term introduced in How to Lie with Statistics.

Metrics can be used to garner a lot of feedback that's valuable to the software development team. And they can also be used as a convincing argument to push an agenda. You have to be careful that metrics are used legitimately, and avoid metriculation. Metriculation is a term I use to describe how metrics can lie. One form of metriculation is the faulty assumption.
A faulty assumption occurs when we draw some conclusion based on the occurrence of simultaneous events, but have no substantive evidence correlating the events. Faulty assumptions are based on the logical fallacy of correlation proves causation. In software development, we have to be very careful not to make decisions based on faulty assumptions. Let's take a couple of simple examples.
On any software development team, the number of developers who eat lunch while working at their desks may be related to the number of developers that get stuck in the elevator. The conclusion then is that you should not eat lunch at your desk if you want to avoid getting stuck on the elevator. Even the less than astute individual recognizes the absurdity of that conclusion.
But what about this more plausable scenario? The number of developers using Fancy Framework X is related to the number of developers with fewer defects in their code. Our conclusion now is that if we want to reduce software defects, then all developers should use Fancy Framework X. Possibly. But is there a causal relationship between using Fancy Framework X and code with fewer defects? Or have we falsely assumed that there is?
Proving causal relationships is difficult, if not impossible. The slightest possibility that there may not be a causal relationship means the conclusion can always be challenged. Proving causality requires statistical analysis, which may not always be feasible. Sometimes the best we can do is apply inductive reasoning to arrive at our conclusion based on the likelihood of causality. The moral here is that we should not be awestruck by metrics. Nor should we be naive. Instead, leveraging metrics requires critical thinking.

I took the liberty of running JarAnalyzer on the OSGi bundles deployed as part of Spring 2.5.6. These are the JAR files found in the /dist/modules directory. Click the image at right to reveal the relationships between JAR files.
It's interesting to see the dependency relationships and layering of the framework. Note that there are no cycles. I have always felt a significant advantage of Spring is the way development teams can incrementally adopt the framework. Start using core for basic dependency injection and move up the stack to JDBC and declarative transactions, ORM integration, and integration with your favorite web framework. It's the flexible architecture of Spring that allows this. I'm guessing that when the Spring team went about modularizing the framework around OSGi, the architectural flexibility already embodied in previous versions of Spring made their job easier.
For those of you who want the more detailed information, you can view the JarAnalyzer html report for Spring 2.5.6 showing a variety of metrics related to design quality.

I just got off the phone with Capers Jones, founder of SPR. We had a great conversation on software metrics, and he definitely gave me some interesting bits to chew on. One aspect of metrics that I've been particularly interested in is how IT can use metrics to show their value to the business. He was pretty crisp in his response when he stated that it isn't IT's job to measure their value to the business.
This sent me swirling for a moment, and I'm sure the depth of the conversation that followed shortly thereafter was lost on me. His point was that IT doesn't really know how to measure their value. Instead, it's the business people who understand what value they hope to get from the software, so it must be the business people that measure that value. I think Caper's point is this. If I spend $100 on a product, it's my responsibility to ensure I've gotten $100 worth of value out of that product. The company I purchased the product from has no way of measuring the value I received from the product.
But I'll take that one step further. The company does have the ability to measure the perceived value, and there are a lot of ways to do that. They can follow-up with me directly to obtain qualitative measurements on my satisfaction with the product. They can also monitor various sales channels to obtain quantitative measurements. They can combine this qualitative and quantitative data to create meaningful measurements that allows them to gauge the value of their product to the consumer. And really, as value goes up, so to do sales.
This translates to IT. IT does have the ability to gather qualitative data from their customers. They also have the ability to obtain loads of quantitative information. The key is that IT cannot measure their value to the business without working closely with their business partners who will provide them with the information they need to make those measurements.
Capers went on to say that IT must be able to demonstrate competency in the products and services they deliver, and that there is business value in that. Examples included showing that my productivity rates exceed those of my outsourcing counterparts, that I'm able to build software with fewer defects, or that I can deliver software that isn't vulnerable to security breach.
I sum it up like this. If I'm able to increase my internal efficiencies and also able to measure and improve my effectiveness, that translates into my advantage because I'm able to deliver higher quality products and services more quickly than my competitors. And that's an advantage to my customers, which keeps them coming back to me. The key is that I must be able to measure it.

Updated (11/02/07) : Please note the responses from Alberto and Bob attached to this post. They've offered some assurance that Crap4J does not transmit any code to their servers, and that the licensing snafu was due to a simple oversight. They also resolve to correct the licensing agreements. Thank you, Alberto and Bob! : End Update
I went to install the Crap4J Eclipse plug-in. As part of this plug-in, there are four separate features, and I happened to actually read the license agreement for each of them. In a nutshell, for three of the features (Agitair JUnit Runner, Agitair JUnit4 Suport, and Public API for Generated Tests), the license agreement states that the software is experimental and primarily for academic, research, and open source use. But that's not the alarming part. It also says that it transmits your code over the open internet to be analyzed on non-secure Agitair computers shared by multiple users. Here's the exact text:
I don't like that much, and it seems a bit sneaky to hide that rather important note in a license agreement that I doubt many folks read. There should be a more noticeable disclaimer somewhere. Also, I found no such notice in the Ant Task distribution (in fact, couldn't find a license agreement included at all). But that's not saying the Ant Task does or does not transmit your code.
I don't know the internal behavior of Crap4J. Maybe it doesn't send your code anywhere. But the license agreement indicates that Crap4J does, or at the very least, that they have the right to do so. Maybe, giving them the benefit of the doubt, they didn't fully review the license agreement, and aren't aware of what it says. Either way, the fact that this important note is buried within a license agreement without any other public disclaimer is very alarming and deceiving.

JarAnalyzer has always had the ability to create a dot-compliant output file that could be used with GraphViz to generate a component diagram. In the past, this had always been done using the
DOTSummary class. Unfortunately, this meant that if you wanted to generate output files in both xml and dot, you had to run JarAnalyzer twice. Now, thanks to a stylesheet that I graciously stole from JDepend and modified to work with JarAnalyzer, there's a new way to generate a dot-compliant output file that is much nicer than what you'll get when using
DOTSummary. Plus, you only have to run JarAnalyzer once, then apply two stylesheets to the xml file generated to get both the html report and component diagram.
In addition to being a bit more efficient, it's also cleaner. The old component diagram is shown at left on top, while the new component diagram using the stylesheet is shown at bottom left. The stylesheet avoids the confusion where
DOTSummary changed the name of the .jar file and stripped off the .jar extension. As seen on the diagrams, a .jar file named
bill.jar now actually appears as
bill.jar on the component diagram, not
The new stylesheet isn't part of the JarAnalyzer distribution…yet, but you can download the stylesheet. To run JarAnalyzer as part of your Ant build script and get both the html and component diagram output, drop the stylesheet in the directory containing JarAnalyzer (the same directory with jaranalyzer.xsl), and modify your build script similar to the following (you need GraphViz installed to run dot):
<target name="dotanalyzerapp.new" depends="bundle"> <taskdef name="jaranalyzer" classname="com.kirkk.analyzer.textui.JarAnalyzerTask"> <classpath> <pathelement path="${buildlib}/jaranalyzer-1.2.jar"/> <pathelement path="${buildlib}/lib/bcel-5.2.jar"/> <pathelement path="${buildlib}/lib/jakarta-regexp-1.3.jar"/> <pathelement path="${buildlib}/lib"/> </classpath> </taskdef> <jaranalyzer srcdir="${buildstats}" destfile="${buildstats}/appdependencies.xml" summaryclass="com.kirkk.analyzer.textui.XMLUISummary"/> <style in="${buildstats}/appdependencies.xml" out="${buildstats}/appdependencies.html" style="${buildlib}/jaranalyzer.xsl"> </style> <style in="${buildstats}/appdependencies.xml" out="${buildstats}/appdependencies.grph" style="${buildlib}/jaranalyzer2dot.xsl"> </style> <exec executable="dot" > <arg line="-Tpng -Nshape=box -Nfontsize=30 -Nwidth=1.5 -Nheight=1.25<br></arg> ./buildstats/appdependencies.grph -o ./buildstats/appdependencies.png"> </exec> </target>

I've updated JarAnalyzer to correct some of the problems reported when analyzing applications written on J2SE 5.0. The issues were primarily surrounding the use of Generics. If you've been experiencing any of the following problems when running JarAnalyzer 1.1, upgrading to JarAnalyzer 1.2 should make them go away and put you back on track.
A few other bug fixes and enhancements also found their way into version 1.2.
You can download the most current version of JarAnalyzer from the JarAnalyzer home.

posted at 7/15/2011 10:46 AM EDTkiwi, I also saw this promotion yesterday. Ds and I are headed into Boston on the 29th for a doctor's appointment so we may need to head over to the Children's Museum afterwards!
Re: FREE Friday Activities
posted at 7/15/2011 11:50 AM EDTThis is a great program. Just be aware that the events are often slammed! We went to the kick-off event at the Museum of Fine Arts and the line up for the Chihuly exhibit was completely ridiculous for a toddler. We opted to see some of the permanent exhibits instead.
So be prepared for the masses and maybe opt to reserve some free or discounted passes from the Boston Public Library instead since those can be used any day. I've saved over $100 using that program by getting 4 people into the Aquarium for free and getting a discount on the Children's Museum. Also remember the Children's Museum is $1 only on Friday from 5-9 pm.

High school football camps open today, and the season is a mere three weeks away.
For the first time in recent memory, all four Georgetown County high schools will be playing each other.
Its good for us because we need those rivals, said Andrews head coach Scott Durham.
Its good for our county good for the kids and the gate, said Georgetown head coach Bradley Adams.
However, in Class AAA, Georgetown will not get as many points toward a playoff spot by playing schools in smaller classifications. Carvers Bay is Class A, and Andrews and Waccamaw are Class AA.
Last season Georgetown missed the playoffs by two-tenths of a point.
Due to a change in S.C. High School League rules, coaches were able to work with their players more this summer.
Its helped to get your kids better prepared, said Waccamaw coach Tyronne Davis.
It helps us get the kids in shape faster. The biggest thing is getting them out in that weather and getting them acclimated.
Davis said it also helped with continuity, since there wasnt a huge gap from spring practice to when camps open.
Adams agreed.
Were way ahead right now, he said. Were much farther along in what were able to install on both sides of the ball... knowing the schemes.
Carvers Bay returns to the field as the defending Class A Lower State champions. The Bears went 9-1 in the regular season, clinching their second straight No. 1 seed in Lower State.
Andrews was in the hunt for a region title deep into the season, eventually finishing 6-4 and grabbing the No. 7 seed in Class AAs Division II.
Durham was hired in June 2013, so he had less than two months before practice started for the season.
Now hes been able to work with his players through an entire off-season, and spring.
We were able to get a lot more done this summer, he said.
Durham doesnt judge his teams improvement from year-to-year on wins and losses.
Our mantra from day one to the day Im no longer head coach [is] we just want to get better, he said.
Despite its second straight winless region season, Waccamaw went on the road as a No. 12 seed in the playoffs and pulled off an upset, winning its first playoff game since 1995.
Davis said the key to getting some region wins this season is keeping everybody healthy and developing depth.
Thats the biggest thing we fear, getting one of our starters hurt going into the region season, he said.
There have been about 40 varsity players working out since spring.
Theyve all been working hard all summer, Davis said.
Georgetown finished last season 5-5 and was the only Georgetown County high school football team not to make the playoffs.
Socastee moved up to Class AAAA this season, and was replaced in Georgetowns region by Lake City. The Panthers were 2-9 in Class AA last year, and lost in the first round of the playoffs.
Its going to always be a very tough region, Adams said. It still goes through Myrtle Beach. Any time Myrtle Beach is in your conference its going to be a very tough conference.
Adams is pleased with what hes seen this summer.
The kids have worked extremely hard and the coaches have worked extremely hard, he said.
More players have been participating in team activities this summer than in the past, but that leaves Adams cautiously optimistic.
It doesnt mean well have a better football team, he said.
Andrews opens the season in Week 0, hosting Waccamaw on Aug. 22.
The Yellow Jackets then host St. James on Aug. 29, travel to Georgetown on Sept. 5, host Carvers Bay on Sept. 12, and end their non-region schedule at Hemingway on Sept. 26.
The Yellow Jackets region schedule is: at Lee Central on Oct. 3; hosting Kingstree on Oct. 10; at Johnsonville on Oct. 17; hosting Timberland on Oct. 24; and at Lake Marion on Oct. 31.
Carvers Bay doesnt play in Week O, kicking off its season hosting Johnsonville on Aug. 29. The Bears then travel to Waccamaw on Sept. 5 and Andrews on Sept. 12, before hosting Georgetown on Sept. 19.
Carvers Bays non-region schedule ends Sept. 26 at C.E. Murray.
The Bears region schedule is: hosting Creek Bridge on Oct. 3; at Green Sea-Floyds on Oct. 10; hosting Lake View on Oct. 17; hosting Latta on Oct. 24; and at Hemingway on Oct. 31.
Georgetown kicks off the season in Week 0, playing at Conway on Aug. 22. The Bulldogs then have their bye week on Aug. 29 before beginning the in-county schedule, hosting Andrews on Sept. 5 and Waccamaw on Sept. 12 and then traveling to Carvers Bay on Sept. 19.
Georgetowns non-region schedule ends Sept. 26 at home against Loris.
The Bulldogs region schedule is: hosting St. James on Oct. 3; at North Myrtle Beach on Oct. 10; at Lake City on Oct. 17; hosting Myrtle Beach on Oct. 24; and at Wilson on Oct. 31.
Waccamaw opens the season in Week 0, playing at Andrews on Aug. 22.
The Warriors then travel to Hannah-Pamplico on Aug. 29; host Carvers Bay on Sept. 5; play at Georgetown on Sept. 12; and host Green Sea-Floyds on Sept. 19.
Waccamaws region schedule is: at Mullins on Oct. 3; hosting Loris on 7:30 p.m.; hosting Aynor on Oct. 17; at Marion on Oct. 24; and hosting Dillon on Oct. 31.
