It's March 30th and the Major League regular season has technically already started. Teams are making their final cuts and most roster competitions are winding down. Yet in the Bronx (Tampa, rather) much is still up in the air. The bullpen is not settled and neither is the bench. Cesar Cabral and Clay Rapada are fighting for roster spots. Of far more importance than the team's second lefty, though, Joe Girardi has yet to name his starting five-man rotation. What once seemed like a cut and dry decision now, apparently, is not.
We've known for a month that CC Sabathia and Hiroki Kuroda, the two veterans in the mix, were guaranteed spots in the starting rotation and would likely pitch the first and second games of the season. We've also known that four pitchers – Michael Pineda, Ivan Nova, Phil Hughes, and Freddy Garcia – were ostensibly competing for three spots at the back of the Yankees' bullpen.
That all remains true, at least according to the Yankees' skipper. But much else we thought we knew about this competition may no longer be applicable. It was clear heading into the Spring that Michael Pineda and Ivan Nova were overwhelming favorites to capture the third and fourth spots in the rotation. Phil Hughes had been leapfrogged and would have to show something special to regain his position. But Freddy Garcia was solid depth and Hughes was the future. Some suggested the competition was rigged. Hughes would be the fifth starter, Nova and Pineda were locks, and Garcia would be the long man.
Then they started pitching.
The most important development of the past month has arguably been the re-emergence of Phil Hughes. Anyone who has been watching him pitch since February can't help but be impressed. The former top prospect is hitting the mid-90s with frequency, and has allowed just three earned runs in four games. He looks like the Phil Hughes of early 2010. With this performance has come a consensus that yes, Hughes will make the rotation. In fact he seems to be the first man in, with Brian Hoch among others suggesting he is practically guaranteed one of the final three spots in the rotation with serious discussions soon to begin.
While Hughes has caught the attention of Yankees fans, though, another narrative has had a near monopoly on rotation talks in past weeks: Michael Pineda. The 23-year-old, who some see as a future ace, came into camp overweight and while his change-up has been coming along nicely, his fastball has hovered, at times, in the high-80s. The velocity is coming back, but not soon enough for many involved. Despite Pineda pitching reasonably well this spring (he has a 3.31 ERA and leads the time in strikeouts), he is not guaranteed a rotation spot. In fact, he might just be pitching for it today.
The other two candidates have generated less buzz, but their performances could have just as large an impact on the decisions made in the next few days. Ivan Nova has an ERA over six this spring. He put together a strong performance last night, and has looked sharp, but in such a close competition, one could argue Nova is the easiest guy to send down. Heck, even The Wall Street Journal is calling his rookie season a "fluke." The Yankees have looked to move Freddy Garcia but with no trade materializing, the owner of a 2.92 spring ERA is still in the running.
Spring Training is a dangerous time. Given the small sample size nature of the exhibition contests, emotional responses and narratives dominate the airwaves, the papers, and perhaps even the decision making processes of managers and general managers. At the very least, teams are forced to make decisions based on how players look rather than on how they perform. Still, a desire for quasi-performance analysis is pervasive. Those in the baseball world have an unhealthy tendency to ignore the fact that "noise" is real life phenomena, rather than an aspect inherent in statistics. Good starts are added up on one side, bad on the other. The more recent the more important. Decisions are often made on the basis of one or two strong or weak performances.
Each spring, managers have a difficult task. They must balance the desire for competition with the irrationality of relying on a couple of weeks to define a players ability to perform over the coming season. Here the stakes are incredibly high. When it comes down to it, then, a bad decision is a bad decisions and Joe Girardi cannot afford to make one.
Pineda's velocity drop is concerning. It's probably nothing. There's no doubt he can pitch effectively at 92 as opposed to 94. But what if it is something? Still, unless the Yankees have some reason to believe the righty needs to take things easy, he's the second best starter on this team. Sending him to AAA would be ludicrous. And what about Nova? His ERA isn't pretty but Girardi has seen the games. He can't possibly feel the performance is indicative of any future failure. Nova has 14 strikeouts to just 1 walk this spring. If he can pitch anything like this in the regular season I like his chances.
Maybe, as Hoch and Andrew Marchand and a number of beat writers are suggesting, the Yankees really saw this Spring as an open competition between six pitchers with equal talent and equal importance going forward and as such view this past month's events as the basis for constructing a rotation. I suppose Pineda or Nova could be the odd man out, one starting the season in AAA and ending up leapfrogged by Andy Pettitte or Manny Banuelos before it's all said in done. But I doubt it. You don't pass up the opportunity for such a young, talented starting rotation because of a couple bad starts and a compelling narrative or two.

Vietnam vet shares coping skills with combat warriors
May 15, 2009
By Devin Fisher, Fort Carson Mountaineer
FORT CARSON, Colo.-A Vietnam veteran spoke to Fort Carson warriors May 7 urging them to take advantage of the resources available to assist them with the challenges associated with being a combat veteran.
Retired Marine Sgt. Andrew Brandi, a motivational speaker and author of The Warriors Guide to Insanity, conducted two, one-hour presentations at the McMahon Auditorium sharing 40 years of personal experience and stories of fellow veterans to assist Mountain Post Soldiers in dealing with post-traumatic stress, survivor guilt and suicidal issues.
"I am here today to talk to you troops so you don't repeat what we (Vietnam veterans) did," Brandi said. He and his three closest Battle Buddies combined had 23 wives and have had 260 jobs, which Brandi said was normal for their generation.
"You don't have to (repeat what we did) anymore, there are good programs in place now," he said. "Counselors know what they are talking about; they can help you get through your experiences in a very short time."
Brandi noted the average warrior saw 40 days of combat during World War II and 240 days during the Vietnam War, but he has recently talked with Soldiers who have spent more than 1,200 days in combat.
"If you think you don't have issues after 1,200 days of combat, you need to think again," Brandi said.
Something changes inside a warrior the first time they take another's life or watch a comrade fall on the battlefield, Brandi said. Warriors feel rage and anger and want payback; but they also feel a sense of loneliness they have never experienced before.
They also struggle living in two worlds simultaneously - the warrior world and civilian society.
"The two worlds do not mesh; you have to cross that bridge and that's part of the problem. The world that they used to belong to no longer feels comfortable."
He shared stories of a combat veteran performing a perimeter search of a Wal-Mart parking lot to ensure there were no snipers on the rooftop prior to entering the building and another that was unable to drive a car down the street for fear of an improvised explosive device detonating under his vehicle. Yet another warrior could not go to the mall for fear of a suicide bomber blowing up his Family.
Brandi recalled feeling completely alone when he returned from Vietnam, having no place to turn for assistance. Fortunately, today there are combat counselors who have experienced similar situations on the battlefield and can help warriors work through their feelings, he said.
In addition to the mental health services available at Fort Carson, assistance is available through the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Sgt. Brandi Web site. Located at http://sgtbrandi.com, the Web site has teamed up with the Military Order of the Purple Heart to provide mentors to combat veterans.
Brandi also expressed the need for warriors to remain connected with their Battle Buddies, because they provide a good support base.
"The truest friends they (warriors) have are the ones they just came out of battle with," he explained. "Those are the ones they can trust."
This special bond can cause strain on relationships as the warriors seek refuge in their Battle Buddies, and not their spouses, Brandi warned. He also urged the Soldiers to recognize that their spouse had their own trauma to deal with while they were deployed to include raising the children alone and worrying about their safety.
As for suicide, Brandi suggests warriors honor their brothers and sisters who died beside them on the battlefield.
"If they thought you were worth dying for, you got to think, 'maybe I'm worth living for.'"
Brandi equipped the warriors with a few tools to help get them through difficult situations.
He urges them to count to three when someone upsets them. This mental stop allows them to think about where the emotion is coming from and think through their response.
When confronted with complicated circumstances, Brandi suggests Soldiers find refuge by get away from the situation and finding a pleasant place to relax.
"Life is better than good ... life can be excellent," Brandi said, "You have to make a few choices. Is it easy' No, but you have the strength to do it. You got through combat you can make it through (these challenges)."

Sewing has always been my hobby and my profession. I first trained as a tailor as a young girl after which I worked for some fabulous designers. To fit work around my son I became a teacher of Textiles and Product Design. When my son finished school and moved to the USA I decided to start my own business and do what I love best; draft patterns and teach beginners and advanced sewers how to make their projects look professional. I hope you enjoy my patterns and instruction. Now we followed our boy to the US and I get to sew in the beautiful Californian sunshine!Read More » View all patterns by designer (54) »
This online class available to you via You Tube will teach you how to make this adorable dress step by step.The Lily dress has a cute feature bow and my super easy 'Megan' pockets. The rouleaux loop fastening at the back and three box pleats in the front make this simple design extra special. If you are a true beginner you can leave out the rouleaux loop and just cut the back pattern on the fold. The pleats should just allow enough space to fit the head through.
Whether you are an expert or just starting out the video tutorial will make it very clear what you have to do. If you are unsure if you can handle this pattern then simply watch the video to reassure yourself before you purchase the pattern. And for all those of you that love to keep all instruction neatly in a folder,my instructions booklet contains page after page with photo's just to make doubly sure you know what to do.
The instructions for the bow and pockets can be found here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyg-GQsPS8s (Bow instructions)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50FX7oV1nv0 (Pockets / Part of Megan's dress)
This pattern was a real hit in my sewing courses and has been adapted and changed to make some stunning dresses. I would be delighted if you send me a picture of the dress you have made for my photo gallery.
The pattern is available for immediate download so you can get started straight away.
None of my patterns are multi sized so there is one size per file, this saves a lot of paper and confusion as to which line you have to cut.
Every pattern is hand drafted and then imported into a CAD program to make sure you have a pattern that fits and looks good too! No pattern is automatically graded or computer generated with software. Having trained as a tailor 30 years ago I know that pattern generating software can never replace the skill of a pattern drafted by hand. Try my patterns and you will love the fit. No loose armholes that are cut too low or sleeves that hang of the shoulder.
The Lily pattern pack includes:
A pattern in PDF format ready to print on regular A4 paper with
assembly instructions
Detailed step by step photo tutorial
Detailed video instructions on You Tube
To make the dress a serger is an advantage but it can be done without.
If you want to reproduce this dress for your own small business I would be delighted.
Please note that the patterns I design are not to be used for larger scale production.

In order to get a great job, you need to have a great resume. A great resume is made up of a number of different important components. Please use the guide below to help build a resume that is sure to impress prospective employers.
Education and Training
Be sure to list all degrees and training certificated that you have received. Also, note any distinction that your degree was granted. If you won any academic awards during your time in school, be sure to list this as well. If you had a good GPA in school, note it on your resume.
The skills section of your resume is a place where you can list any additional capabilities that may not be listed under the education and training section. This is a good place to note writing, communication and leadership skills. If your degree is not in the field of technology but you have technological skills, be sure to note them in this section.
The experience section should be the largest portion of your resume. Be sure to brainstorm about all of the work, extra curricular activities, volunteering, and internships that you have done that might have prepared you for the job that you are applying for. Leadership and communication experience is always helpful, so be sure to list any experience that you have that has honed these skills.
Included in your job application materials should be a list of references. Every person on this list should be willing and ready to give a very detailed and positive description of your professional capabilities and personality. Be sure to include updated contact information along with each reference. Also, contact each of your references before you submit your job application so that they will be prepared for a call from your prospective employer.
Quick Fixes
Education and Training: If you have note yet completed your degree, do not worry. Simply write the date when you expect to receive your diploma or certificate.
Skills: If, perhaps, you have been out of school for a while and feel that you need to brush up on some of your professional skills, ask your alma mater if you might take a refresher course or two.
Experience: If you feel that your amount of experience is lacking, sign up for an internship. Some companies actually offer internships that you can do by correspondence.
References: If you are having a hard time coming up with a list of good references, get a part-time job or internship and do your absolute best to impress your employer or supervisor. After at least a month of work, ask if you may use him or her as a reference.

The Vampire Diaries
Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and More TVD Stars Get Wild and Crazy Coachella! (PHOTOS)
The Coachella Valley Music Festival is the place to see and be seen, so you better believe our favorite TV stars hit up the desert in style!
Many of the Vampire Diaries actors took to Indio over the weekend, including Paul Wesley, Nina Dobrev, Michael Trevino, and Steven R. McQueen. The gang had some company for their fun in the sun, as former stars Claire Holt, David Anders, and Matt Davis also turned out for the event. (Talk about an amazing family reunion!)
It sounds like the cast had an extra special reason to celebrate this year, given that they'd just wrapped filming for Season 5 one day earlier. "And that's a wrap on Season 5!," Nina tweeted in the wee morning hours of April 11. "Wow. Half a decade... Leaving Mystic Falls and heading to sunshine & musical heaven. #tvd #coachella."
As expected, the cast had an amazing time over the weekend — and the ladies definitely did festival fashion right! While Nina was seen donning fedoras, overalls, and patterned dresses, Claire kept it simple in a flimsy blouse and white denim shorts.

Job fair points Fort Bragg service members to best sources for future civilian employment
April 8, 2011
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - Just before noon Wednesday, more than 1,200 people converged on the Army Career and Alumni Program's spring job fair at the Fort Bragg Club.
One hundred and ten companies were represented at the job fair, said William McMillian, ACAP transition services manager. The program helps servicemembers who transition from military to civilian life.
Sgt. Brandon Kelley, of the 82nd Airborne Division, has spent four years in military intelligence and plans to separate from the Army in a few months. Kelley said he stopped by to find out what options he would have once he leaves active duty.
"I get out in August, so I'm currently looking for opportunities on the outside," said Kelley, who conferred with Kristen McKee, a recruiter with Oak Grove Technologies, an intel company located in Raleigh, N.C.
Kelley learned that the company has career opportunities for servicemembers who have already served in Iraq or Afghanistan.
The company also prefers that applicants have four years of intel and analytical experience and a minimum of a secret security clearance, preferably top secret, McKee said.
Jessica Balik and Ryan Maxfield gathered information from Officer Andre' M. Taylor, a recruiter and intern coordinator with the San Antonio Police Department. Balik and Maxfield work as analyst for a civilian company that they did not wish to name.
The job fair provided a large venue of companies with expertise in their field.
"We're just trying to find out if the service we provide for our military customers apply to the law enforcement industry," Maxfield said. "It's a huge venue. It's larger than we thought it was going to be."
Taylor, who retired from the military in 2010 after 21 years of service, of which eight were as a military policeman, said that servicemembers should consider continuing their service in San Antonio.
"Those people who have a strong desire to still serve their immediate community wherever they choose to live, San Antonio is a military town and it's a great place to serve," Taylor said.
Law enforcement also provides a transition for servicemembers to continue using their weapons skills and their discipline, he said.
Also represented at the job fair were education institutions such as Herzing University, the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, Grand Canyon University and Fayetteville Technical Community College.
Tom Prestwood is a veteran with experience in aviation logistics and training. A retired Air Force technician sergeant, Prestwood said he attended the fair because he is interested in continuing his education.
He talked to Lisa Autry, a military education liaison with Herzing University, based in Milwaukee, Wis.
"I found out that I might be able to use my master's degree with their online program," said Prestwood, who holds his degree in international studies from Troy State University, now known as Troy University, with campuses located in Alabama and worldwide.
For sergeants Rebecca Manda and Preston Miller, both of Company D., Warrior Transition Battalion, the job fair provided the chance to obtain leads on intel opportunities once they separate from the Army in the upcoming months.
"Recruiters have had knowledge, not just about what the company can do, but what the positions are," Manda said. "They're right on top of what kind of needs they have. "We're not losing precious time talking to people who don't need our skill set," she said.
Miller agreed.
"It's good to see people actively shopping for our skills," he said.
The best advice that McMillian said he could give to servicemembers seeking employment beyond the military is to prepare a targeted resume' and send it to a company representative. The writing of a resume' is like an operations order - you target it to the mission; find employers interests and requests McMillian said. "If you have those skills, that's what you put on the resume'," he said.
For more information about the ACAP program, call 396-2227/7188 or visit its webpage at www.acap.army.mil. The ACAP center is located on the first floor of the Soldier Support Center, Building 4-2843, Normandy Drive.

An exhibit that tells the story of the Charleston Naval Shipyard has been returned to its home, according to a news release.
The exhibit, commonly referred to as the Shipyard Museum, has been displayed on the USS Yorktown at Patriots Point for more than 30 years. Patriots Point maintained the exhibit's artifacts — including tools and equipment from the shipyard that were used from the 1920s to the 1990s — and documents detailing the base's 1996 closure.
The original exhibit was created in 1981 by the late Palmer Olliff, who worked at the shipyard for 48 years, the release said. The exhibit was upgraded and expanded in 1996 when workers who had lost their jobs decided to donate items for preservation.
Patriots Point Executive Director Mac Burdette said the naval yard helped define the Charleston area for generations.
"As a museum, we feel it is very important that artifacts be exhibited whenever possible within the context of the history that made them important," Burdette said in a statement. "I have always felt there was some level of unfairness that local residents who wanted to visit the exhibit on the Yorktown had to pay the admissions fee to our museum."
North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey said the exhibit's items are currently being stored, until a permanent location can be found with the city.
"We intend to create a home for the exhibit that complements the Charleston Naval Base Memorial at Riverfront Park and appropriately tells the story of the shipyard's 90-plus years of history," Summey said in a statement.
Melissa Buchanan, Patriots Point's curator, said planning and moving the exhibit took more than six months.
"Artifact moves within a museum are a planned process and even more so once packed for shipping across town," Buchanan said in a statement. "The moves are carefully planned as to prevent any damage, with artifacts carefully wrapped, crated and moved in a precise order."
Burdette said the space where the exhibit was held will now be used for traveling and rotational exhibits and, possibly, events.
"This is a great decision for all who value the history of the Charleston area, North Charleston and the shipyard that helped to defend this country through three major wars and the Cold War," Burdette said.

It's deja vu all over again in Biotech bubble land. For the 4th day in a row, and opening salvo of hope-fueled buying has faded quickly into a sea of red-faced selling as The Nasdaq Biotech Index holds down 13% from the highs at is 100-day-moving-average.

but Cramer said biotech is a no brainer...?
and Cramer is always right!
It's probably because biotech companies finally realized that any product developments and potential profits are for naught due to ObummerCare not covering anything.
Most biotech companies are developing technologies that do not work or serve no purpose. It is another version of Wall St. shoveling money to their cronie buddies keeping them in a job. Shame old shit, another sector.
'No brainer' is what you would have to be to buy the stock.
Are you sure that he didn't say "Cramer is a no brainer"?
That's good, i gave you an up vote for that.
good one Doc, it's amazing how one man can know so little about so much
Looking at a 5 year chart of that index, it has a long way to go down.
All that means is that the FED's software is wasting fiat electrons buying up the biohazards as the Elite dump shares into the FED's toxic asset black hole.
the entire "market" is topping. i think "the top" was 1884. bulls keep battling a losing battle as big boys continue to distribute. wont be long now....
HPQ $33... lol! I had to short some there, just to participate in the nut squeezing insanity...
It's becoming pretty apparent that one of the biggies on the Nasdaq is going to warn on earnings (might be a few). The manufactured news we had today would have usually sent us up 50-60 points. Every rally is being sold in tech land
Twitter is falling like a rock on Jupiter - if we tweet that often enough, will it fall like one on Earth?
I just facebooked about TWTR dropping, then Twatted about FB's $10 haircut...
Is now a good time to buy the dip?
NAZ getting a little dicey here. Three days in a row testing the 50dma. Bounced last two at exactly EU closing time. Will today be a three-peat? Need I even ask??
Isn't NAZ that scam the guy in prison invented? Sure sounds like a legit place to put your money.
In today's news: Biotech swings +/-50% and water is wet.
Which button do I hit to just but moar? Only idiots don't know stawks can never go down again, I'm gonna be so rich!
Need to get a cure for selling!

This is a wonderful mountain get away. The rooms are decorated with a distinct charm. The food is fabulous. This is a great place if you're looking for a peaceful, nature based experience.

There are not enough "stars" for the Horseshoe Lodge at MPEC. In all of my travels -- domestic and international -- I have never experienced the combination of exceptional hospitality, impeccable service, and natural beauty in which I found myself immersed at MPEC. From the first moment I arrived, through every delectable and healthy meal,to the peaceful surroundings in my room and in the park... the excellence was consistent, and multi-dimensional. There is simply no room for improvement.

Had a GREAT stay --- the Swedish Mountain room EXCEEDED our expectations. We had a nice tour of several other rooms, too, and the website photos just don't do these accommodations justice! The welcome was so nice and and the self-serve breakfast was beautiful! All this quality while using the latest in sustainable technology -- couldn't ask for more. We could walk to some great hiking trails that were just the right challenge and provided some wonderful mountain views. Just enough exercise to make the Swedish Mountain room's bed and fireplace the perfect place to rest!

My husband and I love to go to MPEC. Just about a half-hour south of Pueblo. We stay there for a week at a time, when we can -- and find peace in the mountains. On weekends when there are meals provided, the food is healthy and marvelous. We love it even when there is so service -- the break-out kitchen is sufficient for our needs -- and the rooms are so beautiful! We have our favorite, of course -- the Swiss Mountain Room -- complete with a fireplace and its own bath. I am willing to share the secret -- because I love MPEC so much!

Iowa's Rep. King wants to damage state's economy
Timothy Kincaid
May 20th, 2010
Congressman Steve King of Iowa is probably best known for his anti-gay activism. Which gives him a rather skewed perspective on the world.
Take, for example, the press release he's just issued:
"Just over one year ago, when the Iowa Supreme Court decided to ignore Iowa law and grant same sex couples the ability to get married in our state, I predicted that the decision, absent action by the state legislature to enact a marriage license residency requirement, would turn Iowa into the gay marriage Mecca." King said. "Now, the Iowa Department of Public Health is reporting that of the more than 2,000 same-sex couples who were married in Iowa between April 27, 2009, and March 31, 2010, sixty percent were from out of state," said King.
So there were over 1,200 people who came with family and friends into the state to spend money in this very depressed economy. They paid Iowa fees for marriage certificates, stayed in Iowa hotels, ate in Iowa restaurants, shopped in Iowa stores, tipped Iowa ministers, and came home to tell all their friends about what a great time they had in Iowa.
That should be cause for celebration. But not to King; no, he wants to stop all that Iowa commerce:
"This new report from the Department of Public Health reemphasizes the short-sightedness of the court's decision to enact a same-sex marriage law from the bench, and it provides even more evidence of the need for a residency requirement and a constitutional amendment to repeal it."
What an idiot.
The best thing a state can become is the Mecca for, well, just about anything that increases revenues without increasing crime, blight, or other social ills.

I suppose the reasoning here is that that would solve c-level compatibility problems. I'm not sure that's the best way to go, it introduces a dependency on cython python3.0 and numpy support and I don't know where that stands. Maybe Dag can comment. I don't think rewriting the parser itself in cython is a good idea. Chuck -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Scouting report: Broncos' offense vs. Eagles' D
There is no data to display.
Eagle Eye: Eagles-Broncos Game Prediction
Peyton Manning has thrown for 1,143 yards and 12 touchdowns in three games this season for the Broncos. (USA Today Images)
Sizing up the Eagles' defense vs. the Broncos' offense ahead of Sunday's showdown in Denver ... (and here's Eagles' offense vs. Broncos' defense)
When it comes to slowing down Peyton Manning, an old adage comes to mind: Many have tried, few have succeeded.
Manning, a 12-time Pro Bowl quarterback and sure shot first-ballot Hall of Famer, has engineered some prolific offenses throughout his career, mostly with the Colts. But this year's Broncos offense might present Manning with the best set of weapons in his career.
The addition of former Patriots slot receiver Wes Welker and emergence of tight end Julius Thomas to a cast that already included first-round pick Demaryius Thomas and 1,000-yard receiver Eric Decker gives Manning the most complete, diverse passing arsenal he's ever had. They each run excellent routes, and Manning's precision means they need just slight separation to be in position to catch the ball.
Players on defense make tiny mistakes all the time, biting on a double move or getting caught out of position, but can compensate quickly. No quarterback capitalizes on the slightest miscue like Manning does.
The Broncos are averaging 42 points per game and winning by an average of 19. Their most narrow margin of victory was Monday night's 37-21 win over division-rival Oakland, but the Broncos took their foot off the pedal in the second half after going into the break up 27-7.
If Eagles defensive coordinator Bill Davis thinks he can fool Manning with one creative blitz after another, he needs to think again. Opponents have thrown every pressure scheme in the book at Manning throughout his career. This year, Manning's passer rating against the blitz is 140.9.
Usually, defenses adjust to offensive personnel, but Manning turns the table. Without huddling, he'll read the defensive alignment and then decide whether the Broncos will run or pass. They don't have great running backs, but the ball carriers have the advantage of a clean box and defenders constantly backpedaling in anticipation of the pass.
The Eagles have to be firm with their personnel, hold coverage and pray like crazy that they can get to Manning with a four-man rush. This needs to be Trent Cole's best game of the season. He'll see a lot of action against Broncos left tackle Chris Carr, who's filling in for injured All-Pro left tackle Ryan Clady.
Defensive ends Fletcher Cox and Vinny Curry each caused fits for Kansas City's right tackle Eric Fisher, the top-overall pick in April's draft, and need to be matchup nightmares again for the Eagles to slow down Manning.
Since he can't get overly fancy with blitzes, Davis might have to get creative with his packages and personnel. He could have his linemen stand up and move around at the line pre-snap just to get Manning to think a little more than usual. It might be handy to line up the 6-foot-3 Curry and 6-foot-8 Clifton Geathers on the inside and try to get their heights and wingspan to interfere with Manning's passing lanes.
Any help the Eagles' linebackers and defensive backs can get from the pass rush will be welcomed. Figure that second-year corner Brandon Boykin will see much of his action against Welker in the slot and Cary Williams will match up in man coverage against Thomas, a big, physical receiver with deceptively good speed.
The big question is who guards Thomas, an Antonio Gates clone who played college basketball at Portland State before giving football a try his senior year. A fourth-round pick last season, Thomas played just five games his rookie year and caught one pass for five yards.
This year, he has 194 receiving yards, tied for sixth-most at his position, and four TD catches, tied for most in the league. He has a tight end's size but the speed and quickness of a receiver, making him a matchup nightmare.
Do the Eagles guard him with linebacker Mychal Kendricks, who hasn't covered well this season after an impressive camp, or safety Nate Allen, who's one step away from the bench?
This would be an ideal time for Davis to experiment with a three-safety dime look, using Patrick Chung in coverage against Thomas and keeping Allen and Earl Wolff deep, but Chung is doubtful with a shoulder injury he sustained against Kansas City.
The Eagles have already been picked apart by Philip Rivers and Alex Smith, good quarterbacks but nowhere near Manning's stratosphere. They own the league's fourth-worst pass defense, allowing around 323 passing yards per game.
This showdown has that walking-into-a-buzzsaw feel. But who knows, maybe the Eagles have some surprises in store.

Interactions and action sequences
Interactions are events that occur in response to some user action, such as the click of a button. For example, the application can display a new page when a user clicks a button. In this case, you define an interaction triggered by clicking that button.
With an interactive component button selected, you can use the Interactions panel to connect your buttons to view states in your project.
Flash Catalyst CS5 has many built-in interactions that you can quickly add to components or grouped objects, including:
From the Interactions panel, choose the event that triggers the interaction, such as On Click. Then choose the response to that event, such as Play Video. Last, choose the state where that interaction occurs.
Add interactions
You can add interactions to components or grouped artwork. Use groups to hold interactions when you don't need a reusable component.
Create action sequences
Action sequences are interactions that trigger one or more actions. Action sequences occur within a single state, so they can play over and over. For example, you can have an object that animates each time a user moves the pointer over it.
The types of actions that are available include:
Action sequences are added to components or groups using the interactions panel.
Note: To add an action sequence to a component or group within another component, double-click the parent component to open it in Edit-In-Place mode.
Edit an action sequence
Action sequences are edited in the Timelines panel. Editing an action is similar to editing a transition.
On Application Start interactions
You can create an interaction that plays automatically when someone starts the application. This is called an On Application Start interaction. For the interaction type, you can choose to play a transition to state, go to a URL, control a video, or play an action sequence. For example, you use an On Application Start interaction to trigger an action sequence that plays a SWF file. When you add an action sequence, you can use the create an On Application Start interaction, make sure that nothing is selected in the artboard when you click Add Interaction. The actions you define occur as soon as the application starts.
To do this:
On Application Start interaction that plays a SWF movie from a specific frame
Conditional interactions
Conditional interactions are behaviors predicated upon some condition. For example, clicking a Next button takes the user viewing page 1 to page 2, and the user viewing page 2 to page 3. Conditional interactions are added just like any other interaction. The only difference is that you change the conditional setting from When In Any State to something more specific.
Conditional list interactions
You can add conditional interactions to a data list that trigger an action when someone selects an item in the list. The list can be images or text. Conditional interactions are similar to other interaction. The difference is that the conditional setting, When In Any State, becomes When Any Item Is Selected or When A Specific Item Is Selected. If you choose When A Specific Item Is Selected, you enter the number of the item in the list that triggers the interaction.
Conditional list interaction

This is my almost favourite frag. My favourite is the original - a vintage one dating back from the 80's. This is clearer, softer and perhaps a little more feminine than the original. It lacks a bit of the bitteness in the basenotes, but more important the blast - "umph" - when you put it on. Still it's a very beautiful, feminine scent. After the initial galbanium/hyacint hit you can almost see the soft petals from the jasmine and rose surround you. It's also perfectly following the three stages from top to base without beeing monotone in any sense. The drydown is beautifully elegant from the oakmoss and patchouli. I'm amazed! They don't do perfumes like this anymore and still they've succeded again. This is what I call a chypre. Yet it misses a bit of the thrill that the original gives you, A gutsier start and more of bitterness in the end as the original Givenchy III has would make it more intriguing. But maybe the original should be just the original? I have the priviliged possibility to use this one daytime and the original nighttime, as long as they both lasts.

Givenchy iii was my "one and only" for most of my adult life, devastated when it was discontinued and was so excited to hear it was re-launched but new version is feeble by comparison.
If you are a fan of the original in all its earthy glory, buy vintage only!!

Great to find this older fragance which seems to be getting increasingly rare. It was bought for a family member as a thank you present, knowing that it is the only fragrance that she will wear.

AUGUSTA, Ga---On another hot day at the Augusta Country Club, Laura Coble shot a cool 71 en route to her 5th Georgia Women's AMateur Championship title. Coble, the reigning 9-time Georgia State Golf Association player of the year, entered the final round with a 2 stroke lead and pulled away to win by 4 shots over defending champ, Jean Reynolds. Coble, the Augusta State women's golf coach, posted a 3 day total of 212 to finish at 4 under.
"It's very, very special, this week at home in front of friends and family, my homeclub. It's just really neat to host such a great event at my home club after growing up here," Coble said after her final round. "It's just been a wonderful week for me."

Officials in the Town of Ithaca are taking steps to change the zoning on the Town's half of the Emerson Power Transmission site to help Unchained Properties move forward with its $100 million redevelopment project.
Developers look to construct a project with manufacturing, residential and commercial space.
Town Supervisor Herb Engman says a switch from an industrial to a planned development zone is needed.
Engman says the Town supports the project because it is aligned with their goals to bring more mixed-use development to the area along with more housing.
Unchained recently finalized the purchase of the site on Ithaca's South Hill.

To read other responses to the Farber article, and to learn more about AIDS denialism claims and rebuttals, visit aidstruth.org a site put together by AIDS researchers or browse through The Body's collection of articles.
People have been responding to Celia Farber's article for over a week. Several well-written letters have already gone to the editor [of Harper's].
The problem is that there isn't a single word that's new or previously unanswered in this ugly excuse for journalism. This is the same old crap that Farber has been peddling for years. She hasn't had an outlet for some time, but I guess she's been quiet long enough that there's a new generation of editors who are deaf, dumb and blind to the issues and who are thus susceptible to her message. As usual, she cites and quotes only the five or six fringe people, most of whom have been out of work for years and not one of whom has ever conducted a single page of actual AIDS research. These people are cranks, disgruntled losers who have been left behind by the tides of science.
The one thing that's different this time around is that Farber has managed to make a twisted weave of her usual denialist story combined this time with the threads of the tale of a disgruntled NIH [U.S. National Institutes of Health] employee who declared himself a "whistleblower" when he saw that he was about to be fired. He dredged up a pile of cheap shots that had been tossed at the Ugandan trial of nevirapine from several years ago, complaints which were little more than a reflection of the fact that running studies in contemporary African nations doesn't look exactly like running such trials in the high-tech world of the NIH. Some things weren't written down properly; paperwork isn't as precise as computer work; a team running studies for the first time lacks the precision of people working on their 20th or 30th major study. Scandal! Horrors! Poor Africans are being abused by the rich white doctors and profit-hungry drug companies!!! The whistleblower opens a Web site entitled "Honest Doctor."
Give me a break. Even Hollywood doesn't get quite this bad. The fact is that the study in question has been reviewed and re-reviewed up the ying-yang and has been declared sound, ethical, and critically important for slowing the transmission of HIV to newborns.
So what to do with Farber and her band of loonies? Succinct, point-by-point rebuttals have been done over and over and over again. I've done several myself. The NIH has done them. Other activists and doctors have done them. There is virtually nothing new to say. The success of the drugs used to treat HIV is so dramatic, so well demonstrated that it is the envy of just about every other major unsolved disease out there. It proved that spending big dollars on treatment research really pays off. Next, it showed that spending more then greatly simplified treatment, making it possible today for many people's treatment to be reduced to as little as a couple of pills taken daily. Soon, it will be a single pill, and not long afterwards we can expect to see effective treatment taken just once a week or perhaps even monthly -- if the research is sustained. If there is a failure of research, it is the lack of concentration on an outright cure. And, of course, the failure to come up with a vaccine, and the failure to make these treatments available worldwide.
Whatever the weaknesses of AIDS research or the failings of the pharmaceutical industry, they are none of the things cited in Farber's absurd tome. The woman has had her head buried in the sand for so long that she hasn't the faintest idea what is happening in the lives of people with AIDS. As Larry [Kramer] says [in an earlier e-mail], there is indeed still a major problem, but it is the problem of the continued spread of the disease and the continued failure to make the benefits of the last 20 years of research available to all. When someone dies of AIDS these days who has had access to therapy, we understand why and how it can be prevented.
That's a huge, profound change from the agony, pain and uncertainty people faced in years past. The issues raised by Farber and her three stooges are a complete and utter diversion. Follow her, listen to her, and we will head right back to the disastrous conditions of the late 1980s and 1990s. One cannot help but wonder what their real motive is, since their primary activity is to try to turn people away from the things that have been proven to work, while supporting nonsense that has been left behind.
Yes, I hope Larry is right that there might be a way to turn around, though it won't be found in Farber's words. It will be found in concentrating on the major tasks that lie before us: developing a vaccine, stopping the spread of the disease by all reasonable means, and making sure that the tens of millions presently infected with HIV have access to the great successes achieved by science in the last 20 years.

Performances Part in Melbourne
Hello everyone,
Anyone know of a good place to get performance parts for my zetec in Melbourne. Cold Air Intakes and exhausts in particular. Any ideas?
sadly not a lot in Melbourne mate, but try www.infocusmotorsport.com.au, they're based in sydney. Ask Resty where he gets his parts (PM him) otherwise infocus will send you parts thru mail, works best ot order a few parts together. If you want a truly active Focus Forum in Oz, this one has died a little because www.fordforums.com has taken off a lot. Just click on the Focus link under Ford Cars. There's about a dozen of us at least who are active, we just had a meet in Sydney with 6 Foci. Not bad for our first meet.
We're getting a local club going (Australia) so we'd love to have you along, for more information about the European Ford Owners Club as we've called it, visit www.geocities.com/eurofordclub
|All times are GMT -5. The time now is 06:38 AM.

The hiring manager's primary concern is whether you are right for the position. When she asks you to tell her about yourself in an interview, she does not want details of your personal life. She simply wants to hear how you view and articulate your qualifications for the position. If you touch on something personal, it should relate to your ability to do the job. According to TheCampusCareerCoach.com website, your response should run 60 to 90 seconds long.
Blending Now and Then
Start by stating your credentials, which lay the foundation for the rest of your summary. You might say: "As an accounting supervisor at XYZ Company, I oversee the accounts payable and receivable duties of five employees." Then tie where you are now into where you are coming from, so your interviewer understands what led you to, and your passion for, your career path. For example: "I've always enjoyed working with numbers. When I was younger, I used to help my family and friends solve complex math problems. I was their go-to person." If you lack work experience, draw on your involvement in school or volunteer activities you engaged in, or mention someone who inspired you professionally.
Linking Your Interests to the Employer's
Next, tell why you are interested in the employer's industry and the position. You might say: "My last position gave me a lot of insight into the wholesale and auto parts industry. Since then, I haven't wanted to venture into any other field." If you have no experience in the employer's industry, or to explain why you want the job, you might say: "With the need for wholesale auto parts doubling over the last three years, and with my knack for selling, I would like to be part of a sales team that contributes to that industry."
Sharing Your Career Goals
Show that you have a career plan by describing how you see yourself growing in the position. You might say: "At the moment, I qualify for a nursing assistant position, but when I'm done with college, I hope to work full-time as a registered nurse." Another example: "The first step in my full-time career involves working for a company that promotes professional development, which I view as a win-win situation. The additional skills that I will learn will not only benefit me, but also my employer and its clients."
Maintain eye contact and confident body language during your interview. Keep your demeanor pleasant and respond to the question with enthusiasm and honesty. Talk to him as though you were conveying a good short story, so your response feels interesting and real instead of mundane and scripted. Practice answering the question with someone else before the interview, but do not over-think it. Regard it is a simple question that requires a direct and professional response.

Institutional Corruption/big questions
From LessigWiki
< Institutional Corruption
Big Questions about Institutional Corruption
Do institutions (and other networks of dependencies) necessarily become corrupted over time?
- As outside influences shift a system's dependencies over time, adding new improper dependencies through gradual pressure and sudden shifts, the detritus of these forces accumulates. The mechanisms for removing old dependencies seem significantly less well-formed in almost every institution than the mechanisms that are responsible for creating new dependencies.
- For example: Cotton subsidies that were instituted to help farmers during the Great Depression have stayed in place, arguably long past when they were needed. They now serve to support large corporations, impede free trade agreement with other countries, and keep developing countries that depend on cotton exports in relative poverty.[1][2]
- If institutional corruption generally gets worse over time as improper dependencies accumulate in complex multifaceted systems, what can counteract this process? How can we plan to prevent accumulation before it happens?
- What mechanisms exist and what mechanisms can we design to efficiently "clear out" some of the accumulation of corrupting influences after the fact?
Since we seem to be interested in countering, or perhaps even preventing institutional corruption, it seems that an important question may be: WHEN is corruption? At what point, in what otherwise might be considered a normal social exchange situation, does the situation become corrupt? Is it gradual and continuous, or is there a threshold? Also, when is the earliest in this situation that people can perceive the corruption? Seems that making headway on these questions might help us think about tools that increase sensitivity/perception to corruption, perhaps.
What is being corrupted in institutional corruption?
