Nordic Exposure at Bard
In 1955, the French conductor and theorist René Leibowitz published "Sibelius, le plus mauvais compositeur du monde" (the worst composer in the world), a pamphlet aimed at the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957). Certainly music history has been littered with similarly broad and injudicious barbs whose vitriol often flows out of pent-up professional rivalry. Leibowitz was best known as a wise and influential conductor of Beethoven and Mozart, as well as the guiding spirit over beautiful and idiomatic recordings of Bizet operas and Offenbach operettas. He was also the author of important books on Arnold Schoenberg and on 12-tone music. Significantly, Leibowitz was a 12-tone composer himself, writing at a time when Sibelius had already enjoyed decades of widespread popularity among audiences, despite the castigation of other modernist critics and composers, among them Aaron Copland.
"Sibelius's popularity today is like that of the 1930s, except that where critics then thought it lowbrow and its admirers lacking taste, it's now critically fashionable," says Leon Botstein. Mr. Botstein is founding co-director of the Bard Festival, that annual musical and intellectual banquet in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y., which this year trains its collective eye on Sibelius, whose oeuvre has long been regarded as Finland's greatest musical symbol. And over the next two weekends—respectively themed "Imagining Finland" (Aug. 12-14) and "Sibelius: Conservative or Modernist?" (Aug. 19-21)—Mr. Botstein will be conducting the resident American Symphony Orchestra in the composer's Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh Symphonies, "Kullervo," "Lemminkäinen's Return," "The Oceanides," and "Finlandia," his single most familiar work, as well as related compositions by Samuel Barber, Carl Nielsen and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Other programs will focus on chamber, piano and vocal music by Sibelius and both older and younger contemporaries.
Sibelius emerged at the end of a great wave of musical nationalism that inspired a rich repertoire of operas, art songs and symphonies grounded in the histories, folklore, folk songs, dances and languages of individual European countries.
Though Finland's distinct ethnicity and language developed in ancient times, its sovereignty as an independent republic dates back only to the Russian Revolution of 1917. Before then, it had been ceded in 1809 to Russia by the kingdom of Sweden, which had ruled the Finns since the Middle Ages. And Scandinavia was one of the last European regions to present its musical nationalism before greater Europe. Nevertheless, with the first performances of "Kullervo" and "En Saga" in the 1890s and especially "Finlandia," from 1900, Sibelius quickly became the leading musical figure of the Nordic countries, a position that remains unchallenged today.
Oxford University's Daniel Grimley, editor of this year's festival book, "Jean Sibelius and His World" (Princeton University Press), hopes that the festival "enriches our sense of Sibelius's immensely diverse Finnish and Scandinavian contexts. At the same time I hope it will enable us to discover some of the period's other true masterpieces from Denmark, Sweden and Norway as well as Finland."
Sibelius, born into a Swedish-speaking family, attended the Helsinki Conservatory, later receiving a government stipend to study in Berlin, thereafter completing his musical training in Vienna during 1890-91. A student there of two prominent composers, Robert Fuchs and Karl Goldmark, Sibelius came into contact with Johannes Brahms, Johann Strauss and, most importantly, Anton Bruckner.
Historically, Sibelius—who wrote his tone poems, choral music, a violin concerto and seven symphonies from the 1890s through the late 1920s—belongs to a noteworthy group of composers, including Frederick Delius, Edward Elgar, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Richard Strauss and Ralph Vaughan William, who, at least outwardly, perpetuated the diatonic-chromatic idiom of late-Romanticism well into the modernist era of 12-tone music.
Although Sibelius's early works drew inspiration from the great Finnish epic "Kalevala," in form and style they represent his thoroughly Germanic schooling in Berlin and Vienna, and his looking to well-known Finnish folk songs as an expressive model for his thematic material. With his seven symphonies, however, he departed from that tradition, to create a stark, often tragic style in which he reproduced the characteristic intervals and phrasing of folk music without quoting or referring to it directly. At the same time, the vast, sonorous, spare orchestral expanses of Sibelius's symphonies seem like a bridge between Bruckner's monolithic structures and the towering sonic landscapes of Vaughan Williams. Indeed Sibelius's use of brass in his symphonies, his emphasis on separate orchestral choirs, and his long, brooding buildups to climaxes often convey a sense of Nordic Bruckner. Moreover, even in his most modernist work, his Fourth Symphony (1911), the idiom remains firmly couched in tonality. In part, this tonal element is what drew the disparagement of modernist critics. "They heard no variation in his music, no real thematic development," Mr. Botstein says. "To them it was somehow amorphous, repetitious—easy listening without profundity."
And this raises the question of what constitutes modernism in Sibelius's case. For Mr. Botstein, Sibelius the symphonist was a progressive in his desire "to emancipate music from language and from its narrative, theatrical quality. Even though his early work is full of this theatrical impetus, the really great Sibelius work is without a program."
At the same time, there are parallels between the tonal music of Sibelius and Nielsen and the contemporaneous tradition of realist and symbolist painting by Finnish artists like Hugo Simberg and Aksel Gallen-Kallela, as well as the Swedish Anders Zorn and the Danish Vilhelm Hammershoi. All used traditional imagery and rhetoric to achieve a distinctive nationalist presence in an early 20th-century Europe that was undergoing great social and cultural change.
Indeed, Mr. Grimley expands these analogies to include, among other things, a parallel between Sibelius and Andrew Wyeth, "whose paintings," he says, "have always struck me as remarkably Nordic in outlook and technique." Mr. Grimley observes that "For Sibelius, Neilsen and, for that matter, for Vaughan Williams, the turn to diatonicism in the first decade of the 20th century was a strongly modernist gesture—a search for strength, clarity and tonal freedom through a positive move away from what they regarded as a decadent, emotionally saturated late-Wagnerian chromaticism."
"Sibelius is an interesting case," Mr. Grimley says. "The closest visual parallel to his Fourth Symphony is arguably Edvard Munch, whom he met in Berlin in the 1890s, just as his closest literary parallels might be August Strindberg and Knut Hamsun." Mr. Grimley thus hopes that the Bard Festival will help clarify "how Sibelius's work and Scandinavian art and music more generally reveal that our conventional modernist categories linking progress with dissonance and abstraction are based on some highly dubious assumptions."
Mr. Scherer writes about classical music and the fine arts for the Journal.

With the exception of general purpose computers, microcontrollers are the brains behind most electronics and have a very wide range of end applications, including automotive, industrial and consumer products,
Today's microcontrollers have a complex mix of digital and analog technology. There are typically several different IP modules pulled together to form a complete solution. The heart of these devices can consist of 8, 16 or 32 bit processing units, and are augmented by a memory for both user and program space, communications ports for connecting to other parts of a system, and a plethora of interfaces to the external world (data converters, comparators, RF ports, general purpose digital ports, etc…).
A microcontroller interacts with the real world by taking inputs from its surroundings and converting them into a format that can be used to make decisions via the internal processor or drive other devices in the system. This information may be RF, power, capacitive or resistive inputs or other technologies. In automotive safety applications microcontrollers may have Radar-based RF technology integrated into the device for the purpose of detecting potential collisions with people or objects. The information from the RF port provides a stimulus to the microcontroller, allowing it to determine if an alarm needs to be sounded based on the proximity of an on-coming object. Microcontrollers in the smart phone or tablet market receive inputs based on the capacitance of a finger as it makes contact with a touch screen directing the phone or tablet what to do next.
Microcontrollers are a high volume market and depending on the end application can be very cost sensitive. In fact most of the growth associated with microcontrollers over the last twenty years has been driven by the growth in consumer electronics.
So what are the key test challenges for microcontroller testing? From a technical respective what will the tester require?
So what are the LTXC tm solutions for different types of microcontrollers?

Bristol alternative lender Adam Tavener backs market reforms
Posted: August 13, 2014|
ONE of the driving forces in the alternative lending market has welcomed plans to make banks refer rejected business loan applicants to other organisations.
Legislation is being drawn up by the Treasury because it fears a reluctance to lend by the main banks could be holding back the economy.
Adam Tavener, pictured, chairman of Ham Green-based pensionledfunding.com, said: "What we are seeing is the first steps of a journey which will, ultimately and permanently change the way small business owners access finance for growth going forward."
Adam was the driving force behind a collaboration of alternative lenders setting up a web portal earlier this year where small and medium-sized business owners could find them all in one place.
Once the new legislation is drawn up, the portal could become one of the ways banks refer rejected applicants to other lenders.
Adam said: "From the outset the principle behind our collaboration was to provide a simple and safe journey for businesses to access quality alternative funders if they were not able to, or did not wish to obtain finance from a main bank."
He said the site had already been used by thousands of businesses in search of lenders.
"But it was always designed to exist in an environment where banks and other significant credit providers were required absolutely to signpost rejected SME owners to the now vibrant alternative funding sector," said Adam.
"The confirmation from The Treasury that our initiative will, indeed, pass into legislation is both sensible and pragmatic."
He added: "This is a very positive move for the economy and Alternative Business Funding is proud to have played such a significant part in this and look forward to continuing our close work with The Treasury to ensure that what is finally delivered is simple, fair, transparent, but most of all gets real results."

Omaha, NE- 2013 Has been the worst year for Husker ticket sales. That's the word from a popular ticket broker. But he says it's not just about the Huskers' 5-2 record.
"There's some great row seats here, like row 50 for $28 a piece." Brett Franksmann says as he's looking at his inventory.
Tickets to Nebraska home games usually sell like hotcakes, but this is not a typical year.
"Extremely shocking because we've seen this before. Typically when Nebraska loses the ticket prices go down tremendously." says Franksmann.
Red Zone Tickets owner Brett Franksmann still has dozens of tickets for Saturday's game. Something his company is not used to seeing.
"We have eaten more seats than all the other 11 years I've been in business combined." says Franksmann.
Tickets to the Northwestern game are some of the cheapest Red Zone Tickets have ever seen. In fact on their website, some of them start starting as low as $20 a ticket.
"The real shocker for me are these lower end zone seats for $35 each and the lower goal line seats for $40 a ticket." adds Franksmann.
So why are fans giving up that game day experience?
"I think the weak schedule, the added 5000 seats has really hurt us and really affected us." explains Franksmann.
Franksmann says something that will help fans find their way to Memorial Stadium is the weather. 50 degree temps in early November may help lure those who don't normally go.
Husker fans agree.
"If the stadiums packed, the stadiums packed and I think it will be. I think it would take a lot worst season than this for fans to stop going." says Laura Rackwalik, who will be going to Saturday's game.
"I'm still a Cornhusker fan and always will be." says lifelong Husker fan Jim Ochsner.
Kickoff for Saturday's game against Northwestern is set for 2:30.

Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online."We're obsessed by the man-versus-machine theme," says playwright Matt Charman. "But I don't think there is a more powerful example of it than this moment."He's talking about the moment in New York in May 1997, when world chess champion Garry Kasparov took on a 1.27-tonne chess monster capable of 200 million calculations per second: IBM's Deep Blue. It forms the basis of Charman's new play The Machine, which had its world premiere at the Manchester International Festival on 10 July."For me," says Charman, "the play is about what goes into making something like Deep Blue, and what made Garry Kasparov the man he was."Central to the plot is the supercomputer's "human" move that spooked Kasparov (" Was that the result of a bug? Did Deep Blue make a mistake?"). And don't expect to end up siding with the human..."Deep Blue was lovingly built," says Charman. "You realise that this isn't just a machine to the guys who built it. It's a stepping stone to artificial intelligence. The machine's humanity comes from the guys who made it." Comments Latest on wired.co.uk

text: I just moved to Philadelphia (I'm living at 5th and Poplar, if you know the area) and I have a job downtown at 2nd and Chestnut. I have been riding my bike to work during the day, but eventually I'm going to have a night shift from about 5:30pm to 12:45am, which means I'll be riding home at around one in the morning. I've been living in a college town for the past 4 years, so I'm used to a very safe environment. I don't live in a bad neighborhood (although I do live close to one), but I also want to be safe and not get attacked/get my bike stolen. I always wear a helmet, and I have good lights on the front and back of my bike, but I was hoping that someone who lives in a city could give me some advice on whether I should just take a taxi.

Santa Sangre
Alejandro Jodorowsky. The name is familiar among cult fanatics, and to some, is one that requires forgiving. Film critics over the years have regarded him as a has-been for the most part, looking only to his most popular works, El Topo and The Holy Mountain, as his redeeming accomplishments. His filmography, while considerably short, is oddly consistent in a strange way. Fando and Lis is fairly well liked, and for a surrealist working very little well-past middle age, having at least a few adored films is something to be proud of. Besides Tusk and Rainbow Thief (both regarded as disasters), Santa Sangre remained his most inaccessible film; I'm sure diehard fans remember their efforts to hunt down bootlegs and imports of these works. For the first time in a very long time, Santa Sangre has been given a formal U.S. release on DVD and Blu-ray, though it was a bit of a letdown to hear that the rumor of a Criterion release was untrue.
The movie has an enthralling background and was made almost two decades after Holy Mountain. It is thought to be his one and only horror film and was produced by Claudio Argento, the brother of Dario Argento. I should add, with no disrespect to Argento fans, that the imagery and use of color in this film far surpasses any Italian horror film to date. The going rumor is that Jodorowsky was inspired to direct the film after meeting a serial killer in real life. So, mixing that with the lack of limitations from an uptight producer, Jodorowsky created a movie that was truly more unique than his others, which also stars his sons and shares similarities with what are thought to be his best works.Continue Reading
Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb
The Bolex Brothers production, The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb, is a creepy, yet enchanting, twist on the classic fairytale. It conjures up all sorts of menacing, unnerving, and violent imagery—unlike that of the traditional tale. It's set in a seedy tenement building where an unsuspecting couple conceive a tiny baby—a child so small that they name him Tom Thumb. We quickly see that the world is a harsh place, as Tom's mother is slain and he is kidnapped by sinister men who want to use him for experimentation and genetic research. The plot unfolds around how this tiny creature, with the help of some very unusual friends and the love of his father, escapes the evil forces holding him hostage; the subtext revolving around how this amazing child remains innocent and caring in a world full of fear, reactionary hatred, and prejudice.
The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb uses stop-motion animation in ways that I have never seen before to create scenes of epic discomfort and fear. Live actors are combined in scenes with clay-mation figures, which causes an uncomfortable, almost anxiety driven performance by the actors, who move with a lurching stagger and speak with a mumbling coo. It took dozens of hours to animate the live actors for seconds of film—an amazing feat! But it's not just the way the live actors are animated that makes this a visual triumph. Every scene is covered in tiny animated insects, the walls seem to breathe, and the earth to shake. The sets are awe-inspiring, to say the least.Continue Reading
Sid and Nancy
Like most bios of contemporary controversial figures, Sid and Nancy has its naysayers. Some music historians and punk aficionados have claimed that the film misrepresents some of its real life characters and their time line. Those complaints may be true. But no one has a qualm with the two stunning lead performances by Chloe Webb as the beyond annoying groupie, Nancy, and Gary Oldman as the drugged out Sex Pistols bassist, Sid Vicious (actually just window dressing for the group, he had the look, but never played on the records). The two make for an insane couple; it's a deranged Romeo & Juliet, two lost souls in a sea of heroin and self-destruction. This is a love story, with some dark humor mixed in, like a gutter version of Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?.
Coming off his cult hit Repo Man director Alex Cox beautifully captures the ugliness of the late '70s/early '80s punk and drug culture in London and New York. The film opens with Sid being arrested for murdering Nancy at The Chelsea Hotel (in real life many believed that he was genuinely innocent, done in by lazy New York cops who didn't want to search out the real killer). The film goes back and traces the two meeting as the Sex Pistols were taking off in London, the cover boys for the fledgling punk music scene. Nancy was an American, a stripper and a hooker who chased rock stars and drugs. After being rejected by the other Pistols, she found a willing victim in the rather naive and dim Sid. In the film she gets him hooked on the needle and becomes the voice in his head (a kinda less charming and less intelligent Yoko Ono).Continue Reading
Sins of the Fleshapoids
For those of you who do not know of Mike and George Kuchar, I highly recommend the documentary It Came From Kuchar which gives a thrilling account of their lives as underground filmmakers and artists. For those of you who know about them and are unable to find their work, I suggest looking at the releasing company Other Cinema, and the DVD compilations, Experiments in Terror. The documentary highlights their works, but three films stand out: The Devil's Cleavage, Born of the Wind, and Sins of the Fleshapoids. I was beyond thrilled to discover that some of their films were available for purchase, even if it's a just a few. The Other Cinema release of Fleshapoids also includes The Craven Sluck, and The Secret of Wendel Samson. Shot with consumer grade film with a cast of the director's friends, Fleshapoids is an experience in underground cinema that is not to be missed.
The Kuchars were at the tender age of 23 when they made this film, with Mike behind the camera and George in a starring role. The music assemblage and narration is done by Bob Cowan, and George Kuchar co-wrote the script. It takes place a million years in the future, where humans have enslaved androids with shells of human flesh, using them to do menial tasks and obey their every command. The earth suffered a nuclear war, turning rivers to poison and causing the near-death of all living things. The quest for scientific and mechanical knowledge brought about great turmoil, and now humans only indulge in the fulfillment of the senses. Picture hippies who wear mardi gras beads and fake furs. Their lairs are filled with leopard print, jewels, and bountiful displays of food. They call on the fleshapoids for massages and the ability to have everything done for them.Continue Reading
Zack Carlson, co-author of the new book Destroy All Movies, opened a screening of this movie the other night with a little note on what the film meant to punk exposure in cinema. He made a good point when talking about the fact that "punks" were often presented in films only as a cue to something negative, or were placed in an environment in order to tell the audience that the story was now unfolding in a bad part of town. American movies before, and during, the '80s have always done this sort of thing, be it with bikers, blacks, or just about any group most audiences were unfamiliar with. Eventually, these groups were shown respect and understanding in cinema, and Suburbia marks a big part of that transformation for those in the punk scene, and really, for homeless teenagers and runaways.
Shortly after Spheeris directed Decline of Western Civilization, she decided to make this movie, which follows the everyday happenings of a group of punk runaways. Perhaps the most impressive part about the movie is the tension built between the kids and the people who live in the suburbs; there is something tasteful about presenting a presumed safe place, like a suburb, as a rotting warzone. Aside from its bittersweet and often hilarious story, Suburbia also has performances placed into the plot from The Vandals, D.I., and T.S.O.L.Continue Reading
The Brown Bunny
It could be a hearty bias that this is currently one of my favorite feature-length independent films. With that said, I understand that it is arguably very exclusive in terms of its audience. The Brown Bunny, written and directed by Vincent Gallo, might lend itself to being watched a few times before going down smoothly.
This film is the haunting story of Bud Clay (Vincent Gallo)—a professional motorcycle racer caught in his own literal nightmare. A repetitive adventure from New Hampshire to California coming across women that he attempts to let into his life with haste in order to mend his loneliness. But as he soon discovers, the ghost and memory of his only true love Daisy (Chloë Sevigny) is not only irreplaceable, but at the peak of his heart's desire and torment. Though Bud tries daily to fill the void of her existence, the film concludes with us being able to view the tragic end of their love and leaves a bold statement you won't soon forget. A statement, etched in pulchritude, of a nature that only the human race suffers and yet is one of the eerie qualities that still manages to make it wonderful and unique.Continue Reading
The Delirious Fictions of William Klein - Eclipse from Criterion
One word.... FINALLY! Here's to hopes that Klein's name will extend out of the art house arena (and out of the jungle of highly sought out rare/bootleg versions of his films) ... thanks to Criterion's Eclipse imprint we can finally view three of the most aesthetically unique films of the 60s and 70s. An ex New Yorker that set up in Paris in the 40s, photographer William Klein embodied the bold and iconic early 20th century art styles, a visionary that sought to change how artists made art and how audiences viewed it. Edgy political and social commentary, haute-monde fashion experiments, a brilliant eye for composition and insightful narratives (and films that attracted the like of Serge Gainsbourg as one of his gonzo character creations!)...This is the psychedelic world of William Klein!...Continue Reading
The Loveless
The evolution of the road-rebel is brought to the screen in this directorial debut from Kathryn Bigelow (Near Dark, The Hurt Locker). Technically, this is the film that also introduces Willem Dafoe and has him as the star amongst an unusual '80s cast. I say unusual because you have a blend of actors who've made a decent name for themselves by '82 and ones who definitely show promise in the film, and yet this was their only role. Some were from Georgia, where the film is set, so I guess it makes sense that, for the film's simplicity, actors who normally would have been extras were used for key roles. What satisfied me the most about this film was (a) being aware that a woman directed/wrote it, and (b) it has a slow plot that forces you to stop looking for action and absorb all the messages and scarce dialogue within it.
Willem Dafoe plays Vance—a young biker with dirty fingernails and sensational tomcat essence who is adored by several passing ladies. We see him solo at first, marveling at the blacktop and defined only by it and his Harley. He and his buddies are on their way to Daytona and have stopped in a small Georgian town to repair one of their member's bikes. Without the harsh juxtaposition between this group and the locals, I don't think the film's message would be as clear. Both the townspeople and the bikers have a uniform—one pastels and the other leather. Seeing the differences between the two made me expect a war - which eventually does come in the film's climax, but not as I expected it. Many people found the film quite boring, but I'm sure they missed the subtleties that really make it a wonderful debut. For instance, Vance's status as the ringleader is evident in his manner and dress. He doesn't exactly respect the locals, nor does he expect it from them. On the shoulder of his leather jacket are silver stars, like a general. The men he rides with are not exactly his friends, but rather people he met while in prison. The only thing they share is the love of a beautiful automobile. Without their quest to cause havoc on the way to the largest roadster gathering, all sense of brotherhood would be lost.Continue Reading
The Stunt Man
Not to be confused with the awful swell of stunt man flicks that arose in the late '70s and early '80s (Hooper, Stunts, Stunt Rock, etc), nope, Richard Rush's The Stunt Man is a genre all itself. It's a playful film about the magic of movie making, but its depiction of a film set is closer to the episode of The Flintstones when Fred becomes Stony Curtis's stand-in, then, say, Francois Truffaut's on-set Day For Night. Like a Christopher Nolan film, it's a puzzle in a box, but unlike Inception the characters never stop to explain it to you. What's real and what's make believe is up to the viewer's imagination, like film itself.
Vietnam vet Cameron (Steve Railsback) is on the run from the cops, stumbles onto a film set, and may or may not be responsible for the death of the movie's top stunt man. The film's egomaniacal director, Eli Cross (Peter O'Toole), takes the fugitive under his wing, agreeing to hide him out but Cross will have to replace him as the film's stunt man. While shooting a ridiculous looking WWI flick at San Diego's Hotel del Coronado (the location of Some Like It Hot as well) Cameron's view of reality becomes more blurred (as does the audience's). Cross puts him in more and more dangerous situations (just like that Flintstones episode). Is Cross trying to kill him? Did Cross have Burt, the former stunt man, killed? Besides stepping into Burt's stunt shoes, Cameron also takes up with his girlfriend, Nina (Barbara Hershey), the film's leading lady. And again, a sexual relationship with a self-centered actress can also blur the lines of reality, maybe even more powerfully.Continue Reading
The Warriors
Through the eyes of movies in the 1970s, New York City looked like one rough place. I don't mean the Woody Allen romantic side of New York (Annie Hall, Manhattan). I'm talking about almost every other film made in the decade, the dark Taxi Driver side. From The Out Of Towners to Death Wish (and most cops and crime flicks), culminating in the apocalyptic Escape From New York, the place appeared to be a dangerous dump. Bottom line: Central Park is not somewhere you want to be caught in after dark. The Warriors is maybe the perfect vision of this comic book wasteland.
The gangs in New York outnumber the cops two to one, so says Cyrus, leader of the baddest (and apparently the biggest) gang in town, The Riffs. This gangsta' visionary gets all the gangs together in Central Park for a sort of pep rally. But like so many important revolutionaries before him, he is assassinated by a creepy guy named Luther (played by the creepy actor David Patrick Kelly). Luther is able to blame the Warriors, a small-time gang in for the convention from Coney Island, Brooklyn. The Riffs kill the Warriors' leader, Cleon, and put out an APB on the rest of the gang. Suddenly every gang in town is after the remaining eight Warriors. Narrated by a hot-lips radio DJ, the Warriors are forced to fight off gangs, the cops, and negotiate New York's unreliable transportation system.Continue Reading

I recently got around to replacing the frozen amp gauge in my '74. Would it be better to switch to a volt gauge??
I'm thinking of upgrading my alternator as well. I have the standard 55 amp single wire. I think its a little weak with all of the extras running at once. Options?? Thanks.

Edward P. Cunningham of East Price Hill is a musician, artist and manager of the Cincinnati Property Maintenance Code Enforcement Division.
It is somewhat ironic that the federal Department of Transportation stipulates that unless Cincinnati can clear up questions about local funding, the city's application for a federal grant to re-establish a streetcar line will be weakened ("Federal official presses Cincinnati on streetcar funding," May 5). Deputy Transportation Secretary John Porcari told The Enquirer that "There's incredibly high demand for these dollars and ultimately, we're going to help cities that help themselves."
Arguably, it is the past policies of the federal government on transportation that have contributed to the financial woes of older cities like Cincinnati. The feds should measure the need for transportation dollars against the negative impact past federal policies have had on a cities' vitality, rather than on the ability of the city to pull itself up by its bootstraps.
In June 29, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act into law. In large part this system was created to be able to evacuate cities and move troops for fear of an attack by foreign invaders. There was no attack by the foreign invaders during the Cold War; however, the interstate system worked very well at evacuating cities. In 1960, Cincinnati had a population of 502,550 people, and by 2000 had lost over 170,000 residents.
A wide swatch of Cincinnati was destroyed to build Interstate 75 when Fort Washington Way was created, which cut the city off from the river. This new highway facilitated the exodus of citizens and businesses in a steady pattern of disinvestment for the last 40 years. The vast majority of Cincinnati's buildings, housing and businesses were designed for a "pedestrian lifestyle" and built on a street grid for a non-driving population. The interstates, in addition to rendering the pedestrian environment obsolete, contributed to the demand for more cars, urban flight and air pollution, and actually facilitated a "foreign invasion" of dependence on foreign oil, and collapse of the auto industry to foreign markets.
A great casualty was the loss of the streetcar system. A city built for a people who rode inclines and streetcars and walked was immobilized. Today, Cincinnati has one of the worst public transportation systems in the country.
The current streetcar initiative could be the first step in creating a public transportation system that works, including streetcars, light rail and transit, thereby reducing pollution and dependence on foreign oil and facilitating a repopulation of the city. The federal government should recognize and correct the errors of the past and invest in this potential. In the near future, urban citizens like me can then cut up their gas and auto repair credit cards, cancel their car insurance, sell their two cars and ride affordable public transportation to invest the savings in our future. Only a handful of people in my neighborhood of turn-of-the-century homes have two-car garages anyway. Perhaps that's as it should be.

MACOMB - A former St. Lawrence County Democratic Committee chairman today entered the race for that partys nomination in the 21st Congressional District.
Stephen W. Burke, who twice served as county chairman, said today that he would force a Democratic Primary by circulating petitions to get on the June 24 primary ballot.
If successful, there will be primaries in the Democratic, Republican and Green parties to name party candidates for the seat being vacated by Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh.
Mr. Burke said he decided to seek the nomination after district Democratic county chairpersons endorsed Aaron G. Woolf as the partys candidate. Mr. Woolf, a documentary-film maker and organic grocery store owner, was selected on Feb. 12. Mr. Woolf owns a house on about 150 acres in the town of Elizabethtown, Essex County, and spends his time between there and a home in New York City.
A farmer and insurance broker in Heuvelton, Mr. Burke has been a resident of St. Lawrence County for about 30 years. He is a member of the Macomb Town Council and was a member of the Heuvelton Central School Board of Education.
Mr. Burke said he decided to run after he heard and read criticism of Mr. Woolfs dubious north country connections. He suggested the committees skewed to Mr. Woolf because they felt he had enough money to fund or help fund the campaign.
Im an old political warhorse, Mr. Burke said. Money cant be the whole thing. The party organization may be weak in raising money, but thats no reason to pick a candidate.
Mr. Burke has worked in the state Legislature, as a legislative aied for Sen. Leon Giufridda and then as aide to Assembly Speaker Perry Duryea.
Mr. Burke, 67, has a wife, Yelena, and daughter, Angelina.

A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has become a case study in double dealing. I was taken aback when l read that he had dumped the All Progressives Congress for the Peoples Democratic Party that he publicly disowned at a rally in Osogbo recently. In advanced democracies, especially the United States, it is an anathema for a Democrat to suddenly wake up and decide to join the Republicans. The fact is that an average Nigerian politician has no shame. They are involved in amala and gbegiri politics. Fani-Kayode said he was defecting because the APC was pursuing an Islamic agenda but was he blindfolded in the first instance that he could not read between the lines? Regrettably, here is one Nigerian who likes to project himself as a scholar to the rest of us now caught in a theatre of the absurd. Nigerians should better take their destiny in their own hands and not put hope on a group of jesters.
Tayo Sanni,

We highly recommend Chez Noeleen and can guarantee you will enjoy your time in Puisserguier.
The outside area in the back of the house was perfect for a glass of wine and enough room for the kids to run around.
Noeleen is a thoughtful and delightful host, giving ideas and help.
The house is very nice, very clean, all the things working properly.
The house is spacious and comfortable, with 3 bedrooms and a large bathroom.
My family (wife, 2 kids) and I spent a wonderful period in Noeleen's house in Puisserguier (August 2015).
I just want to thank Noeleen for her kind attention, starting for example with a fresh bowl of fruits our very first day. The house is very nice, very clean, all the things working properly.
She recommended wonderfuls visits. We also had a bbq where Noeleen showed why she is the best smash-with-grevy and apple pie chef in France ....Puisserguier is a very small town you can have as a have for doing several routes: Canal du Midi, Enserune, also Beziers city is very nice (you have all the things from a big city while much less people). Thanks Noeleen and hope you see you again either in Puisseguier or Barcelona!!
We had a wonderful week staying at Chez Noeleen. Noeleen couldn't have been kinder and more helpful, and made us very comfortable. The house is lovely, with its shaded garden, and is located within easy driving distance of beaches to the south and some beautiful places for swimming in rivers to the north. A lovely place for a holiday!
ChezNoeleen is een prachtig oud wijnmakerhuis in het dorpje Puiserguier en voorzien van alle noodzakelijk faciliteiten, een goede keuken, lekkere tuin. Noeleen is zeer vriendelijk en hulpvol. Het huis is perfect schoon, zodat je op je blote voeten door het huis kan (en dat heeft in verband met de prachtige tegelvloer de voorkeur van Noeleen).
Puisserguier zelf is niet heel bijzonder. Het dorp heeft wel een gezellige bar, waar het hele dorp langkomt. Bakker en supermarkt zitten op loopafstand. Puisserguier ligt uitstekend voor uitstapjes naar St. Chinian (markt en wijn), standen van Valras Plage, het zwem- en kanoriviertje de Orb en het Canal du Midi (bekijk vooral de 9 Ecluses!) en vele goede en betaalbare restaurants.
Was made to feel welcome from the moment I pulled up outside on the day of arrival.
Noeleen was the perfect, warm and friendly host.
The house is lovely. Comfortable, spotlessly clean, well equipped and well situated in a perfectly quiet street only a couple of minutes to the village's amenities.
Noeleen shared all of her extensive local knowledge which greatly added to our enjoyment of, the many local attractions, best local wines, restaurants and generally make the most of our stay.
We enjoyed many balmy evenings around the table in the lovely garden, sipping the extraordinarily good value local wines.
I enjoyed three glorious weeks and will undoubtedly be back, if only for the hospitality , peace and quiet, and local ambience, having seen most of the sights.
Nielsen was an incredible host and made us feel welcome the moment we arrived. She went out of her way to make sure we had a comfortable and wonderful stay.
How we found this place we were looking at another place in the same village. Then, this caught our eyes. Turned out we made a great choice. The entire house, three floors all to ourselves, say nothing as to the lovely patio area, a safe spot for our vehicle. Walking distance a bakery, a wonderful butcher shoppe, a small, however well stocked market. Then on the corner, you can purchase bulk wine by the jerry can if you need that amount. Now, Noeleen, hostess with the mostest. Our expectations were exceeded. Thank you our new friend Noeleen. Book, you'll thank us!
A wonderfully welcoming host, lovely accommodations, great setting. Highly recommended!
About the Host, Noeleen
Irish, but lived and worked in London uk for many years. Travelled extensively, have worked in hospitality most of my life. Now semi-retired I moved to France 2006/7 spent 2 years refurbishing Chez Noeleen.
France offers a marvellous lifestyle, sun, sea, history and of course the wine.
People are wonderful, France is beautiful country with so much to offer.

CBP in San Diego & Imperial Valley Seize $1.3 Million worth of narcotics, apprehend eight fugitives and stop more than 250 illegal aliens

SAN DIEGO, CA – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers over the weekend at crossings along the California/Mexico border seized 620 pounds of narcotics valued at more than $1.3 million, apprehended eight fugitives, and stopped the illegal entry of more than 250 inadmissible aliens.
Last Saturday, Sunday, and Monday CBP officers intercepted 620 pounds of cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana hidden in various places in vehicles such as in the rocker panels, tires, and bumpers as well as strapped to individual's bodies.
A large marijuana seizure occurred on Sunday, January 16 about 10 p.m., at the Otay Mesa passenger port of entry after an officer noticed anomalies with the tire of a 1994 Ford F-150 pickup truck. A detector dog alerted to the truck, driven by a 50-year-old male U.S. citizen.
Officers inspected the vehicle and found wrapped packages of marijuana in all four tires. They extracted 20 packages, weighing 182 pounds, valued at almost $110,000. The woman was arrested. CBP officers seized the vehicle and marijuana.

Jacksonville, IL -- The Beloit College Football team opened their 2009 campaign in Jacksonville, Illinois, on Saturday afternoon with a 39-22 win over MacMurray College.
The Bucs opened the scoring less than two minutes in when Raymond Thomas scored from a yard out. Derek Carrier made it 14-0 early in the second quarter on a seven-yard scoring pass from Brian Maughn.
Andrew Christensen got in on the fun five minutes before the half on a 14-yard pass from Maughn and Odin Grina caught a six-yard scoring toss from Maughn 19 seconds before the break to give the Buccaneers a 26-0 lead at the break.
Thomas scored his second TD of the game, and his career, at 6:27 of the third quarter on a five-yard run before MacMurray got a pair of scores within two minutes of the fourth quarter to close the lead down to 33-14.
Eddie Boyd caught a 20-yard pass from Dillon Hess with 1:59 remaining for Beloit's final score before the Highlanders closed out the scoring with just over a minute left.
Maughn finished with 234 yards passing and the three TDs. Christensen led the rushing attack with 54 yards. Julian Ross caught six passes while Carrier and Christensen each had four receptions.
Defensively, Vince Salucci, Matt Kees and Tony Baratti each had interceptions with Baratti also recovering a fumble and recording two sacks. Salucci had nine tackles and Kyle Hansgen recorded three sacks.
The Bucs hit the Strong Stadium turf for the first time next Saturday night when they host Carroll University in the Midwest Conference opener for both squads. Kickoff is at 7:00 p.m.

Howell, Mich. (Daily Press & Argus) -- Emmie Field usually takes the first sips of her son Carter's CapriSun drink because at 18 months, he has a tendency to spill it when it'sfull.
She's never been more glad aboutthat than Sunday, when she sucked up what appears to be a white wormthrough the thin yellow straw.
"I spit it out in the sink," she said. "There wasn't enough mouthwash in the world to get the feeling out of my mouth."
TheHowell Township woman said when she called the company, representativestried to pass off the worm as mold, but she said, "Mold doesn't have ahead like this or wiggle."
Fieldsaid she purchased the drink last week from the Walmart in Fowlerville.Carter and Field's 4-year-old daughter, Ryleigh, already had consumedtwo other pouches out of the same package as well as all of the pouchesin a separate box purchased the same date.
"Ofcourse I called the doctor and asked if this is something I need to beworried about," she said. "The doctor said they should be fine unlessthey start puking."
Laboratoryofficials contracted by Kraft Foods are set to visit Field's home on Friday to test the worm, which she said is still moving in a sealed plasticbag.
Kraft Foodssubmitted a written statement to the Daily Press & Argus. Thestatement says the company can't be sure without examining the pouch inquestion, but in many cases when it's thought that a "worm" is foundinside a Capri Sun pouch, it was mold. "The mold takes the form of astraw, which can then be mistaken as a worm since it is long and thin,"the statement reads.
Walmart spokeswoman Kayla Whaling said Field's finding appears to be an isolated incident that hasn't affected other customers.
"We'recommitted to providing customers with safe, quality food," she said."As soon as we heard about this incident, we contacted our food-safetyteam and reached out to Kraft (Foods), the supplier."
Walmart is awaiting more information from Kraft Foods before taking any action, she said.
Finding mold in Capri Sun pouches is an issue Kraft Foods addresses on the product's "frequently asked questions" page.
In response to a question, "Why is there mold in Capri Sun?" thecompany responds that it's "extremely rare" but can occur because thedrink does not contain any artificial preservatives. The fact Capri Sunis made without preservatives is "something many moms appreciate."
Field said she doesn't purchase the drink for its wholesome properties.
"Honestly,that stuff doesn't cross my mind," she said. "It's just cheap, and theycome in a pack that's good for traveling. I work at Costco, and Iusually get them from there."
Accordingto Kraft Foods' website, the food mold can grow inside a pouch that hasbeen punctured and is exposed to air. The mold is similar to what mightgrow on "fruit or bread," and there are no "significant or long-termhealth affects associated with consuming this type of mold."
Inresponse to "Why don't you use clear pouches?" the website reads: "Inthe past, combining different packaging materials has created uniquechallenges but we're always examining options that could lead to apermanent solution."
TamaraWard, food enforcement actions spokeswoman for the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, said if the object is a worm, it would be a safetyviolation.
The FDAencourages consumers to file "adverse event" reports with the agencywhen a violation is in question. Each report is looked into by medicalofficer to "see what kind of actions we can take."
Ifaction is deemed necessary, Ward said, the FDA would conduct aninspection. A suspected violation of the Food and Drug Cosmetic Actwould result in the issuing of FDA Form 483, which is basically acitation, she said. Companies then are required to produce and implementan corrective action plan. Failure to do so would result in a warningletter, which is published on the FDA website for public viewing.

Outlook Plugin Not Working
Outlook 10. Win 7 Enterprise. IE 8.
It is not loaded at startup and the message shown in the Add-In screen is "Lot loaded... run time error at startup while loading". I have tried uninstall and install 2-3 times but did not work. I am able to go to the http://todoist.com/?mini=1 and http://todoist.com/ through IE and Firefox without any issues. Please guide.
All responses
Hello Paramender,
Thank you for your report, I have passed it to the developers.
Best regards,
I am facing the same problem...
I have Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) and Microsoft Outlook Version 14.0.6112.5000 (32 bit)
I tried installing the Outlook plug-in and during the process I installed all .NET framework 4.0 components.
However, when I start Outlook, the plug-in doesn't load and I get the following error message:
Load behavior: Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in
Any hint?
Hello Saleem,
We're very sorry for the inconvenience, we're working on it and it will be addressed in the upcoming update of our Outlook plugin.
Best regards,
Thank you David for the prompt response ....
When do you think the update will be released? I can't wait for so long!
Really love your product!
It's almost finished and we hope to release it in this or in the next week if nothing goes wrong.
Best regards,
Hi David,
After fully removing the old installation and doing a restart, I have installed the temp fix available at:
but the problem still exists and Outlook fails to load Todoist plug-in. I hope it will be fixed in the final version that is due next week!
Hi David,
Thank you so much, I benefited from your replies to other users and I am finally having back my todoist within Outlook 10 after installing Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools (http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35594 )

Umm...let me help explain.
That's his 7 year old son asking him that question.
Thanks for the opportunity to close this thread.
Carpenter is a tool! I hope Johnny throws up and in and fractures his arm Labor Day weekend. It would be poetic justice for Carpenter not getting suspended and Cueto getting a ridiculous amount of games.
It must be hard to tell your 7 year old son that daddy is a tool
Dad..what did you say to Dusty Baker? It sounded like you said truck.
"Daddy, why do you stand at the mound and scream obscenities as loud as you can when someone gets a hit off of you? Is that the good sportsmanship you're always telling me about?"
More <female dog> talk from Carpenter.
I hope that <female dog> explained to his son that Rolen was coming after him because his daddy is a potty mouth.
In all seriousness, out of all the personalities on the Cardinals, I truly don't understand your POV on Carpenter.
Carpenter is one of the league's most fierce and toughest competitors. He's a bulldog. He's not a fly-off-the-handle hothead like Zambrano. He may get vocal and fired up, but he channels that into productive energy to pitch out of a jam.
He inspires his defense, he puts the team on his back and carries them, he pitches through pain, he keeps his teammates in line the right way. He mentors and teaches the younger players.
He's the ideal leader type. He's as hard-nosed and play-the-game-the-right-way as Rolen. Old school.
He came to Cincy and didn't like that the balls weren't roughed to MLB standards. Fine, I can see how that might equal "complaining" in your eyes. But doesn't it take more than that for a preponderence of evidence to call a guy, and his whole team, a bunch of little whiny b&%ches?
I can see if you're ripping LaRussa. Or Lopez. B.Ryan is a flake (but a damn good shortstop). Molina, maybe, from your POV seemed to be ready to go with BPhillips at any inkling of an opportunity. But Carpenter? That's like calling Pete Rose a *ussy. Mr. Charlie Hustle himself.
I seriously don't get it. 100 out of 100 of you would (should) be tripping all over yourselves to have him put on a Reds uni.
He's as good as they come, boys and girls.

He's a whiny b!tch. Period. I hate him.
And please don't ever talk about Chris Carpenter as a ballplayer and Pete Rose as a ballplayer in the same sentence. Ever.
I would also say that the way he acted the other night with Ryan was not handling it the right way. And I'm not talking about when he took him into the tunnel. I'm talking about his prick behavior on the field of play.
Guys I tried to keep my language to a minimum there's no reason anyone else here can't as well. Makes these forums look like a bad ESPN Football forum.

I return
I'm actually gonna start blogging again. I'm gonna make myself blog everyday because its good for me. It allows me to unlock the floodgates of my creativity as they said to me back in 3rd grade.
So the thing is this, not all of this will make sense.
Some of it will be random ass shit.
Some of it will be insightful.
Some of it will be ramblingnessity.
Personally I think you learn more about a person through how they ramble and go on tnagents. You just gotta learn how to decipher the code. Rambling is when you see how the mind actually analyzes, processes and puts together all the random info infiltrating our minds at all times. Most of us express ourselves in a way someone else taught us that is considered neutral.
Rambling is natural. You gotta learn how to harness the power of rambling like its a wild beast you can tame. Rambling is sometimes like unpacking the brain of info so that you can connect to the real message and/or important info lurking at the bottom of the pile.
Embrace rambling until you have nothing to ramble about.
See random but I like it – me gusta.
A joke….
I'm happy about Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong. I'm a huge Peter Jackson fan and I'm happy to finally see him tackling the issue of interracial relationships

The selection will be based on the capacity of the student to benefit and contribute to the discussion.
Students will be expected to have read the material beforehand, to actively participate in the discussion and to contribute informal presentations. Readings will be made available in a shared Dropbox folder.
The theme of this year's SWIGS will be Representation and Causation in Early Modern Science:
It is a commonplace of early modern historiography that the 17th century replaced the glorious Renaissance spectacle of nature, criss-crossed by meaningful similarities and gooey webs of representation, with sombre causation and lawfulness: the Kunst- und Wunderkammer of a nature that needed interpretation dwindled into a pinball machine governed by simple rules. This conception is not completely unfounded: in optics, re-presentation of forms was jettisoned for images caused by light; in political thought the unmediated embodiment of the people by the king gave way to ideas about legally-bound sovereignty; and the harmonious structures and perfect orbits of the heavens were replaced by the causal forces of celestial physics. Yet representation was not discarded. Quite the opposite: understood in new and surprising ways, it came to fulfil a fundamental role in politics, philosophy and science, and reflections on its relations to the new causal-mathematical laws became intricate and fertile. Our seminar will explore some of these explicit reflections and embedded assumptions about the structures and functions of representation in epistemology, metaphysics, politics and natural philosophy.

Dog stolen from Bath Township yard found one year later inside Akron home
Suspect, Colleen Dunn, turns herself into police
BATH TOWNSHIP, Ohio - Debby Despoth thought the Eskimo-Pomeranian mix she rescued a few years ago was gone for good after the dog named "Cody" was stolen from Despoth's Bath Township yard in the summer of 2011.
"We had gotten to the point where there was just, I didn't think that there was any chance of seeing him again," Despoth said.
But the fluffy, tan and white dog is back home after he was found inside an Akron house on September 28 -- more than a year after he disappeared -- and returned to the Despoth family.
"When the detectives brought him, I'm a mush so I was crying and he was giving me lots of love," Despoth said.
On Tuesday, Colleen Dunn, 54, turned herself into the Bath Township Police Department on a charges of theft, falsification and obstructing.
NewsChannel5 attempted to get her side of the story as she walked into the station. "I'm not speaking on-camera without an attorney," Dunn said.
Investigators said Dunn was a former caretaker for Despoth's elderly neighbor, who has since passed away.
Despoth said she, along with her son, witnessed Dunn steal the dog and put him inside her car.
Despoth contacted police in August of 2011, and detectives launched an investigation.
However, when officers talked to Dunn, she allegedly told them that she had permission to take the dog and that Cody ran away, according to Despoth.
Despoth said it became her word versus Dunn's word and the case stalled.
Bath Township Police Chief Michael McNeely said detectives recently received new information that Cody was inside Dunn's Akron home on Harrison Avenue, obtained a search warrant and found the dog.
"A lot of people consider dogs family members. I certainly do. We were happy to reunite the dog with its owner," McNeely said.
Dunn was fingerprinted at the the police department, her mug shot was taken and she will be assigned a court date in Akron Municipal Court.
Officer Tim Harland, with the Humane Society of Greater Akron, said eight dogs and 15-20 cats were also found inside Dunn's home.
Harland said the animals were in good health and Dunn has since given away some of the dogs. The agency is not investigating her any further.
"Anything we had with Ms. Dunn is closed," Harland said.
Despoth believes Dunn needs to be punished because the past year without Cody was hard on her family, including her two children.
"Unless you've got a dog, you might not understand that, but they are (family), it's almost like having another child, Despoth said.

Good back light for your Banner but don't light this bulb until it has had plenty of time to get warm at room temperature or it will explode. I had two bulbs do this so beware and leave it in your house not outside where cold can get to it.

A comment on the main board got me thinking about the lack of stability in the lineup since 2009. The team has been less successful in this period and less popular than in the golden years from 2003-2008.
Opening Day or most of season lineups from 2009/2010/2011/2012/2013
1B You/Youk/Agon/Agon/Napoli (3/5)
*2B Pedey.......................... (1/5)
SS Lugo/Scutaro/Scutaro/Aviles/Drew (4/5)
3B- Lowell/Beltre/Youk/Youk/WMB (4/5)
LF- Bay/Ellsbury/Crawford/Ross/Gomes (5/5)
*CF- Ellsbury/Cameron/Ellsbury/Ellsbury/Ellsbury (2/5)
RF- JD/JD/JD/Sweeney/Victorino (3/5)
C - Tek/V-Mart/Salty/Salty/?? (3/5)
*DH Papi.............. (1/5)
Mgr Tito/Tito/Tito/Bobby V/Farrell (3/5)
Instability Index (including manager) 29/55 53
Except for 2B, CF and DH it's been pretty much a different lineup every year and a different manager the last 3 years.
Just for the heck of it, lets look at the very successful and popular Red Sox teams of 2003-2008 for comparison
*1B Millar/Millar/Millar/Youk/Youk/Youk (2/6)
2B Walker/Bellhorn/Bellhorn/Loretta/Pedey/Pedey (4/6)
SS Nomar/Pokey/Renteria/Agon/Lugo/Lugo (5/6)
*3B Hillenbrand/Mueller/Mueller/Lowell/Lowell/Lowell (3/6)
*LF Manny/Manny/Manny/Manny/Manny/Manny (1/6)
*CF Damon/Damon/Damon/Coco/Coco/Jacoby (3/6)
*RF Nixon/Kapler/Nixon/Nixon/JD/JD (3/6)
*C Tek/Tek/Tek/Tek/Tek/Tek (1/6)
*DH Papi/Papi/Papi/Papi/Papi/Papi (1/6)
*Mgr Little/Tito/Tito/Tito/Tito/Tito (2/6)
Instability Index (including manager) 25/66 38
Except for SS and 2B there was a fair amount of stability, much more so than in 2009-2013
For the sake of comparison here is the Yankees 2009-2013
*1B Tex.......................(1/5)
*2B Cano...................(1/5)
*SS Jeter..................(1/5)
*3B Arod/Arod/Arod/Arod./Youk (2/5)
*LF Damon/Gardner/Gardner/Gardner/Gardner (2/5)
*CF Gardner/Granderson/Granderson/Granderson/Granderson (1/5)
*RF Swisher/Swisher/Swisher/Swisher/Ichiro (2/5)
C Posada/Posada/Martin/Martin/I??? (3/5)
DH Matsui/Johnson/Posada/Ibanez/??? (5/5)
*Mgr Girardi......................... (1/5)
Instability Index 19/55 35
With the exception of DH and C they have been pretty stable from 2009-2012, although 2013 seems to be the start of a period of instability and we hope lack of success.
At least in these 2 examples the more popular and/or successful teams have had more stability than the 2009-2013 Red Sox. Nothing earth shattering I guess since more changes are made when teams don't do well. Perhaps instability is a consequence of lack of success and not a causative factor, although in the Yankees case it may be predictive in 2013.
However, some of the changes that have contributed to the instability have not made the team any better, and may have made them less popular. Losing Bay for example in exchange for the elderly Cameron. Beltre (or V-Mart) for Adrian Gonzalez. Paps for Bailey. Ross for Gomes.
From the viewpoint of fan interest and fan loyalty I wonder if the instability in the lineup has something to do with falling ratings and slumping ticket prices on the secondary market beyond the teams lack of success. It's hard on fans when their favorite player (or manager) has a shelf life of 2 years or less on their favorite team. I doubt Werners marketing report made this point.

What Will It Take For God To Break You?
Jonah was your typical person who forgets about God until tragedy strikes. It's sad, but true, that most of us don't think about what pleases God until we're in the back of an ambulance or in a dangerous situation. Whereas Jonah was stubbornly fleeing from the will of God before; now he is in the morbid belly of a whale facing imminent death, crying out in repentance for God to deliver him. Whereas Jonah wasn't concerned about fulfilling the will of God just days earlier; now he is desperately desiring to do God's will and preach the Gospel to lost sinners who trust in "lying vanities."
What will it take for us to surrender our lives to do God's will? Why does God always have to send a whale to devour us, fiery serpents to bite us (Numbers 21:6), an evil spirit to afflict us (1st Samuel 16:14) or a thorn in the flesh to humble us (2nd Corinthians 12:7). Mankind is sinfully proud and stubborn. Deuteronomy 6:12 warns, "Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage." It is so easy to become ungrateful for all the wonderful things that God has done for us. So often as believers we forget about the very God Who brought us forth out of darkness (bondage to sin) and gave to us new life in Jesus Christ.
With All Thy Getting Get Wisdom (Dr. Hyles; our world is talent crazy without wisdom)
Thoughts Of Wisdom . . .
~God gave us
two ears and one mouth to teach us to
listen twice as much as we talk.
~It is difficult for a tender-hearted man to work with cold-hearted people. The two just don't mix.
~People don't care how much you know, until they first know how much you care.
~Collecting tin cans from the garbage is an honest living!
~Don't live in the world of "I should of, I could of, I would of."
~Insanity is doing something the same way repeatedly, expecting something different to happen.
~Give God your heart and He'll comb the kinks out of your head.
~It's better to try to live right and fail 5 times out of 10, then not to try at all.
~There are 86,400 seconds in a day. Have you thanked God with one of them?
~Mankind can condemn each other to the grave; but only God can condemn a soul to Hell.
Isaiah 51:7, "Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings."
Ephesians 5:11 states, "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove (Greek, elencho, meaning 'to expose') them." As Christians, we are expected by God to EXPOSE all "works" which are not of God, or that lead people away from God.

Police say Phillip Peters, and Linda and David Farnham were killed. All three lived in Boothbay.
Police say Peters was driving south on Route 27 when he crossed the center line and hit the Franham's SUV head on.
Linda Farnham, 63, and David Farnham, 65, died at the scene. Peters, who was 33, was transported to Andrews Hospital in Boothbay Harbor, where he was pronounced dead.
Investigators still don't know what caused Peters to swerve across the road.
"We don't have exact reasons why it occurred. However, from everything we know, it does appear it has the potential to be alcohol involved, but we don't know that," said Maj. Ken Mason from the Lincoln County Sheriff's Dept.
Major Mason says it may be several weeks before investigators get the lab results.

The Town of Ballston adopted a final budget proposal for 2009 at the Thursday, Nov. 6, meeting of the Town Board. The budget weighs in at $6.26 million, a nearly $600,000 increase from last year's offering.
The budget will require no town or highway taxes, and town officials say it holds the line on spending while taking into account the rising price of fuel, decreased state funding and an expected lackluster county sales tax take.
It's a pretty austere budget, said Supervisor Patti Southworth at Thursday's meeting, where there was a public hearing before a unanimous vote.
The town did not include in the budget roughly $1 million of work that must be completed in Water District No. 2, though. The town's northern water tower is in need of repainting at a cost of $300,000 to $400,000, and to bring Saratoga County Water Authority water to the town, a pump station must be built at an estimated cost of $600,000.
It is likely that when those projects are tackled, users in the water district will absorb the cost, but financing is just one issue that must be addressed.
Last year " under the previous town board and supervisor " the town signed a contract to buy 375,000 gallons of water per day from the Saratoga County Water Authority for a period of 10 years, becoming the largest municipal buyer in the system. When Ballston's water contract with Glenville was extended in 2002, however, a clause allowing the town to withdraw was also removed. It effectively puts Ballston on the hook to buy 350,000 gallons per year from Glenville until 2022.
County water is to come cheaper, at $2.05 per 1,000 gallons as opposed to Glenville's rate of $2.35. But the booster pump station must be built near the intersection of Eastline Road and Route 67, first.
