The Yankees have been employing a high-risk strategy in the playoffs. They've been leveraging CC Sabathia, assuming that he's the best pitcher in each series they've played. Take his stellar performance out of the equation, and the Yankees are a more pedestrian 4-2 so far in October — a number that recedes further still when all those extra innings games (read as, ties) are considered.
Last night the Phillies blew up that strategy. For at least one game Cliff Lee was the best pitcher still playing baseball. This complicates the Yankees' plans. Girardi has stated he intends to bring CC out on short rest in game 4. Charlie Manuel has said he'll counter each Sabathia start with Lee. Now we know why. Even though Cliff Lee has never before started on short rest in the Bigs, we can expect he'll rise to the occasion.
The Yankees need to employ a new strategy to beat the Phillies. Rather than assume they can continue riding CC's brilliance they need to leverage the relative weakness of the rest of the Phillies' rotation. Manuel's announcement that Lee will match CC in starts, even on short rest, is the same as confessing that the Phillies don't have a fourth starter.
Games 2 and 3 are now the Yankees best chance to take control in the Series. Lose even one of them and we face Lee, and potentially a 3-1 hole.
Tonight the Phillies face a first test of their own. Pitching Pedro Martinez in game 2 at Yankee Stadium is a fantastic idea, in 1999 (Who's Your Daddy? Clap-Clap…Clap-Clap-Clap). Despite his troubles, A.J. Burnett should still be favored. The Yankees need to get into the Phillies bullpen, and early.
The Yankees' best chance to regain home field advantage is game 3. Andy Pettitte has been excellent this postseason. There's been something terribly wrong with Cole Hamels this year. The Yankees need to capitalize on the depth of their top 3 starters before a potentially tired Sabathia faces off against Lee for the 2nd time.
The risks accelerate for the Yankees after game 4. Matching Sabathia against Lee is the right move. It's better to try to neutralize him than concede a game starting Chad Gaudin (Joba cannot start, even a single game — he'll get lit up like the Brooklyn Bridge on the Fourth of July). The question is whether or not they also pitch A.J. and Pettitte on short rest as well.
A.J. Burnett last pitched on three days' rest when he was a Blue Jay in 2008. It's easy to imagine the erratic Burnett hitting three and walking seven if he pitches tired, but his record in these situations is unexpectedly solid: 4-0 with a 2.33 ERA. The risk of starting A.J. on three days' rest seems about the same as starting him on normal rest. If we're lucky, he'll plunk Jimmy Rollins.
Andy Pettitte hasn't pitched on short rest since 2006. That's all the analysis I need. When I began imagining this piece I was equally scared about pitching Burnett and Pettitte on three days' rest. But I'm comfortable assuming that Burnett can handle it; not so Pettitte. His career record is solid with a 3.93 ERA, similar to his regular season performance. Except Andy Pettitte is 37, completely ran out of gas in the 2nd half of last season, and had shoulder problems this season. Game 6 is always important if it gets played. Girardi should at least give thought to the serviceable Gaudin, especially if the Yankees are ahead.
The strategy isn't as far-fetched as it may sound. Pitching A.J. on short rest in game 5 may force Manuel's hand again, except he has fewer options than Girardi. Pitch Joe Blanton, or Pedro. If the Yankees get to Pedro early tonight, they may not see him again in the Series. If Manuel starts the aging right hander on only three days' rest it may blow up in his face.
Starting Gaudin in place of Pettitte in game 6 may draw Cole Hamels to the mound on short rest as well. Hamels has been erratic this postseason and, like Lee, has never pitched on short rest in the major leagues. Rather than risk injury to Pettitte the Yankees may want to bank that the Phillies will pitch to a lower standard against Gaudin.
That would setup either CC on short rest or Pettitte on full-rest if the Series goes to 7 games. CC is approaching 260 innings this season, roughly the level when he lost steam last year. If he can't get the job done quickly the Yankees could turn to a fully rested Andy Pettitte.

New York is a city that comes fully to life after nightfall, glowing with light cast by soaring skyscrapers, stories-high billboards and twinkling bridges. While Midtown is a-bustle during daylight hours with locals and tourists pounding the pavement, at night the concrete cools off as the action heats up.
For a change of pace, why not take a guided city tour by night? The views are lovely no matter the vantage point – from aboard a motorcoach cruising through Times Squares' electric city-within-a-city; from the elevated High Line, a very New York mix of industrial and cutting-edge architecture; from afloat the Hudson River, taking in one of the world's most famous skylines. They say Paris is the City of Light, but our vote is for NYC.
This after-dark bus tour from CitySights NY starts off in Times Square, brilliant at night with stories-high billboards, blinking lights and glowing LCD screens. Along with hitting classic sights like the Chrysler, Flatiron and twinkling Empire State Building, this escorted tour continues over the Manhattan Bridge, treating passengers to a spectacular, photo-op-worthy skyline view from Brooklyn.
Manhattan Dinner Cruise – Hornblower Cruises & Events
Enjoy a complimentary beverage while being escorted to your seat in the 210-foot Infinity's dining room, with its wraparound wall of windows framing panoramic views of New York's harbor. Dig into a four-course meal with New York landmarks like the Intrepid, One World Trade Center and the Statue of Liberty serving as a backdrop. Need some fresh air? Get a photo on one of the ship's outdoor decks, or better yet, head up to the Skydeck, which sits 65 feet off the water, allowing for prime vistas of the city.
Night on the Town Tour – Gray Line New York
Head south on a comfy air-conditioned motorcoach through Times Square and the Garment District, followed by a sunset stroll along Chelsea's High Line, two miles of elevated train tracks that have been turned into a winding park overlooking the Hudson River. Before the sun goes down, you'll hop on a cruise through New York Harbor that stops in front of Liberty Island, providing spectacular views of Battery Park and the Financial District, along with the glowing figure of the Statue of Liberty and the truly spectacular-by-night Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges.
Statue By Night Tour – New York Water Taxi
Step aboard the yellow Water Taxi to a glass of complimentary prosecco, and choose from upstairs open-deck seating or indoors in the main cabin. The hour-long tour dips around lower Manhattan and then eases its way north, up the Hudson and past the World Trade Center site, then turns and heads towards Ellis Island, its Beaux-Arts flourishes especially beautiful in the fading light. Then it's on to the Statue of Liberty, where you'll stop for photo ops and a rousing rendition of Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York."

LAS Board Meeting
Date: 5/11/07 Convened at: 6:39 PM
Present: Pat Peak, Julia Aebersold, Clark Barton, Greg Miller, Ken Alderson, Don Spain, Karl Schmidt, Ed Heiny, John Turack
Minutes – Pat suggested skipping reading last month's minutes. MOTION: Pat Peak moved to skip reading last month's minutes. John Turack seconded. Motion passed by unanimous vote.
- Treasurers Report – Currently: balance is $10,923.49, 192 members, 15 renewals and 12 new members.
- Lunar Planetary Report – Don Spain presented Project Vesta. This year is the 200th anniversary of the discovery of Vesta and will be a good apparition of Vesta between 5/11/07 and 8/11/07. A certificate will be awarded for the most observations of Vesta during this apparition. This month the crescent moon, between May 17-19, will be near first Mercury then Venus. This is a photo op and Don is looking for submissions of our pictures. A certificate may be awarded for the best photos.
- Sidewalk Astronomy – Pat Peak said the next event will be at Fairdale Elementary for Home Schoolers. The following week will be both Cox's Creek and Silver Creek observations. See the web site for details of upcoming events. Also, Pat will put his Excel spread sheet for the calendar events on the Board site. 5/19/07 is Sidewalk Astronomy Night with set up at the UAC. Those who can't make it there are encouraged to set up on a sidewalk somewhere and provide viewing for the public. Pat will make a donation in the name of the LAS to Sidewalk Astronomy Night.
- Instrumentation Committee – Ed Heiny reported that the 12″ LX200 electrical has been fixed except for the backlash problem. Mike Sellers suggested a service contract with Meade for the scopes which would annually cost $250 for the 10″ and $350 for the 12″. The 16″ at Curby was discussed because of its backlash problem. It is usable on the current mount but a bigger mount for this size telescope would be better.
- New Urban Astronomy Center – Ken Alderson said there are plans for three piers to be set on the grounds and that Jeff Haynes has offered to supervise the installation. The State must approve any additions we make to the site before they can be made. When the piers are in place, the 12″ LX200 will go back to Curby, the 10″ will be at the UAC ready to be placed on a pier when needed. Ken also put forward the plan to purchase 50 chairs and enough tables for the classroom at the UAC at an estimated cost of $500.So far paint and supplies is estimated to cost about $400. Ken wants to set aside enough funds for the UAC, annual Curby costs and insurance. Kenny Napper donated $250 and GE will match that donation to provide $500 in funds so that should cover costs Ken believes. MOTION: Greg Mill proposed the following: Approve $600 to repair the 10″, if Jeff Hayne approves, and the 12″ if needed. Ed Heiny seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. MOTION: Ed Heiny made the motion to approve $1000 for the UAC. Pat Peak seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
- Curby – Susan Loucka reports that a new desk has been purchased with locking drawers for the eyepieces. Also a lock for the computer will be put in place so that unqualified people can't get on it and cause problems with the equipment. The two computers at Curby will be brought to the UAC along with the corner computer desk. This will clear the observing area around the telescopes. A small computer lab will be set up at the UAC with computers from the Scope Warehouse and those from Curby. Gravel needs to be put down on the road since it hasn't been done for 2-3 years. The neighbors put down a light load but a full load needs to be put down and leveled. We should put up reflectors up along the road to mark it better for people at night. Pat mentioned he has some furniture to donate to the LAS. MOTION: Pat Peak moved that the LAS spend up to $400 on gravel for the road at Curby. Greg Miller seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
- Scope Warehouse – John Turack said that he wants to send over to the new UAC only the items we will be using. This is the time to get rid of a lot of things we don't need, are in poor repair or not needed. Anything we don't want can be sold at the Apollo Rendezvous in June or offered on Astromart. LAS members will be notified and have the first chance to grab these last chance items.
- Long Term Planning Committee Report – Within 60 days it is proposed to start on the new Curby building foundation with plumbing and electricity in place. The building will be 30' X 40' or 24' X 36' for similar costs. Members will be contacted first to see if they want to do any of this work.
- UAC Progress – Painting and preparation was started on 5/12/07 for painting on 5/19/07. A switch will be provided for the outside lights and one of the lights will be removed. Ken has a key to the building and will make a duplicate for John Turack.
- Election – Ballots are ready if needed for the election tonight. If someone is added the ballots have a space provided.
- New Business – Gaming License would open up fund raising possibilities. Bingo Palace would run it and the license would allow for two Texas Hold 'Em events per year. The license costs $250, $2500 supply fund would be provided to Bingo Palace and there would be a rental cost. We would have 60 days to cancel any agreement with Bingo Palace. Other groups who have worked with Bingo Palace have been financially successful.
- Adjourned at 7:51 PM. MOTION: Karl Schmidt moved to end the meeting. Pat Peak seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
President Ken Alderson called a special Board Meeting when a quorum of the membership did not show up for the General Meeting. The meeting was called to order at 8:07 PM by Ken Alderson. MOTION: Ken moved that Bo Lowery be nominated for Sidewalk Astronomy Chairman. Pat Peak seconded. MOTION: Ken moved that Jeff McCaffery be nominated for Treasurer. Julia Aebersold seconded. The following slate was accepted by acclamation:

Oh my god. That is just magnificent. I looked at it and for a moment I wasn't even sure what I was looking at. At first I thought they were cosplayers, but then I realized they were too doll like. So I thought they were some sort of dolls or statues.- The technique is so cool. I haven't seen anything like it. they really look like statues the way their hair is it looks like they have frozen, but they look really human at the same time, the shading and everything is marvelous. Undertaker's hand looks great Fantastic. Oh and I also really like Grell's vest. It's pattern is so cool.

Our View: Thumbs up, thumbs down
Thumbs up: To the 307 Northern Illinois University students who volunteered their time to help tidy up nearby homes as part of Rake Across DeKalb on Nov. 10. The event, in which NIU students help rake leaves at homes where the residents would have difficulty doing so for themselves. Event organizer Destiny McDonald, the assistant director for community service at NIU, said that participation more than doubled from last year. The event shows another way that NIU and the students it brings to the DeKalb community truly are an asset. We thank the students who volunteered their time to help.

Effective March 1, 2013, the Texas Supreme Court revised the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure by 1) allowing defendants, for the first time in Texas state court practice, to file the equivalent of a Federal Rule 12(b)(6) motion, and 2) providing an expedited trial procedure for cases involving less than $100,000 in controversy. Both of these revisions could prove valuable for our clients with cases filed in Texas state court.
Early Dismissal of Meritless Cases: Rule 91a
1. The Basics
Under new Rule 91a, a party may move to dismiss a cause of action that has "no basis in law or fact." A claim has no basis in law if the allegations, taken as true, together with any reasonable inferences, "do not entitle the claimant to relief." A claim has no basis in fact if "no reasonable person could believe the facts as pleaded." As parties begin to file motions under Rule 91a, the law will develop as Texas courts interpret the Rule 91a standard, which differs from the "plausibility" standard from the U.S. Supreme Court's Rule 12(b)(6) decisions in Twombly and Iqbal, familiar to federal litigators.
2. Timing
A Rule 91a movant must file the motion within 60 days after the first pleading that contains the cause of action at issue is served on the movant and at least 21 days before the hearing on the motion. Each party is entitled to 14 days' notice of the hearing, although the court may decide the motion on the written submissions. The response is due seven days before the hearing. If the respondent amends the cause of action at least three days before the hearing, the movant may withdraw or amend the motion.
If the movant amends the motion, the Rule 91a time periods begin again. If the respondent nonsuits at least three days before the hearing, the court may not rule on the motion to dismiss. If the respondent's amendment or nonsuit is not timely, however, the court must rule on the motion and may not consider the amendment or nonsuit.
3. The Court's Ruling
The court must rule on the motion within 45 days after its filing, which seems to invite movants to seek mandamus relief if the court fails to timely rule. The court may not consider any evidence in deciding the motion.
4. Mandatory Fee Award
Except in litigation by or against the government, the prevailing party on a Rule 91a motion is entitled to an award of fees and costs incurred on the challenged cause of action. The trial court must consider evidence in deciding the amount of the mandatory award.
5. Application
Rule 91a applies to all cases, including those pending on March 1, 2013, other than cases brought under the Texas Family Code or in inmate litigation.
6. Effect on Order of Pleadings
Rule 91a does not affect the order of pleadings under the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure: a party seeking to make a special appearance or motion to transfer venue must still file those pleadings before filing a Rule 91a motion to dismiss.
Expedited Actions: Rule 169
1. The Basics
Cases (other than those filed in justice court or brought under the Texas Family Code, Property Code, or Tax Code, or healthcare liability claims brought under Chapter 74 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code) where the amount of controversy is $100,000 or less (including penalties, costs, expenses and attorney fees) and no non-monetary relief will now be governed by expedited trial procedures, which include streamlined discovery and a trial schedule aimed at swift resolution. Rule 169 is mandatory, absent the exceptions discussed below.
In addition to new Rule 169, the Texas Supreme Court revised the following existing rules:
2. Removal of Cases from the Expedited Process
Cases must be removed from the expedited process for any of the following reasons:
The comments to Rule 169 provide some guidance on whether "good cause" exists, which may include:
3. Referral of the Expedited Case to ADR
Under the final version of Rule 169(d), the court may refer the case to ADR unless the parties have agreed not to engage in ADR. The ADR procedure must meet the following parameters:
The parties may agree to engage in a form of ADR other than as provided for in the Rule.
4. Continuances of Expedited Actions
A court may continue an expedited case twice, not to exceed a total of 60 days.
5. Trial of Expedited Actions
On any party's motion, the court must set the case for trial to begin within 90 days after the discovery deadline. Each side has eight hours at trial, a change from five hours under the previous version of the Rule. The court may extend additional time to "no more than twelve hours per side" on motion for good cause.
The Takeaway

How to track: Like the other trackable hunter pets, you will not be able to see him when he's up. He is completely stealthed. In order to locate him, you will need to find and follow his tracks - tracks that thankfully only hunters can see. Once you've found his tracks you'll need to follow them until you don't see any more. This is where I like to wait and watch where I think that he'll be walking next. Often times you'll see a new track appear right in front of you - this means you've found him!
Once you find him, the only way to see where he is, will be for him to walk through a flare. Don't throw your flare down on top of the track he just left, throw it a little further out in front of where you think he is. When he walks through your flare he will become visible. You can take this opportunity to tame, or you can throw a Hunter's Mark on him - which will keep him visible to you when he goes back into stealth. Hunter's Mark will make him visible to you, but only you when he's in stealth.
(Tracks are now facing the correct direction as of patch 5.1. You no longer need to follow them backwards.)
Stompy's Path starts in the mountains northwest of One Keg, and from there he heads northwest up Mount Neverest. When he gets close to the mountain top, he turns around and heads back down the mountain. He then continues northwest until he nears the Shado-Pan Monastery where he starts heading generally southwest. His path ends just north of the Winter's Blossom base camp and quest hub. It takes him about 39 minutes to move from one end of the path to the other. When he reaches the end of his path, he simply turns around 180 degrees and heads back in the direction he came from.

I have several screenshots below showing Stompy's journey through the mountains; starting from the eastern end of his path near One Keg, all the way to the western end at Winter's Blossom.
|In the above screenshots Stompy is heading toward the eastern end of his path, where he then turns around 180 degrees and starts heading west
|Above, from left to right: Stompy is heading northwest past the Neverest Basecamp, after he passes the Basecamp he turns southwest heading up Mount Neverest. In the right screenshot you can see that nothing is too vertical for Stompy.
|Above from left to right: Stompy is heading west toward the Shado-Pan Monastery, then walking a loop past Zhing and his herd of Wild Mountain Goats (Zhing is an elite that drops an interesting item called Bag of Kafa Beans). In the right screenshot he is turning around right in front of the Shado-Pan Monastery.
|Above from left to right: Stompy has passed the Shado-Pan Monestary and is now moving southwest toward the end of his path. In the final two shots you can see where he turns around just north of the Winter's Blossom quest hub.
I've got a video below of following Stompy through his entire path up and around the mountains. Like I've done in previous videos, I've sped it up significantly to keep the time down.
In this second video, I was tracking him and then tamed him:

Halloween and sensitivities
A Commentary
Timothy Kincaid
October 31st, 2011
As elsewhere, tonight the majority of residents of greater Los Angeles will watch TV and pass out candy to trick-or-treaters or go to parties thrown by work, church, families, or friends. The teens will flock to amusement parks, all of which try to outdo each other in the thrills and scares department.
But for many Angelinos, tonight has been the focus of a lot of time, planning, shopping and work.
Halloween is a very big ordeal here. While in much of the country Halloween is still seen as being primarily for children, here the gay community has adopted it as our very own unofficial holiday. Throw into the mix that Hollywood is home to an industry based on costume and that in this city image reigns supreme and Halloween takes on more importance than it might elsewhere.
So the city's revelers won't be at home waiting for the weekend. Rather, they will head out to one of two street fairs: Hollywood or West Hollywood. While the Hollywood festival bills itself as "kid friendly", that is not the only difference. On Halloween, Hollywood Boulevard grooves to an urban street vibe and as the night progresses develops a slightly harder edge, while WeHo is a dancemix driven celebration of the absurd, wacky and tasteless (and more than a few simply fabulous illusions).
So parents have a choice, bring the kiddies to enjoy a night that is safer in the see-no-penis sense, or one that is safer in the see-no-fistfight sense. And it surprises me sometimes the number of parents who decide that they feel safer with their kids being exposed to gay men and women in downright vulgar costumes than to violence. Hundreds of thousands of people of all ages, races, and orientations converge on the street to make West Hollywood the heart of Halloween.
Sometimes the costumes go far beyond suggestive. For years, a staple has been the traffic cop at the corner directing the flow of pedestrians who is missing the butt out of her pants. And giant boobs and oversized penises – rubber, crafting foam, balloons, and sometimes real – are a certainty.
So at times I find myself wondering if we shouldn't maybe tone it down some. But I don't – yet – think it is necessary or even wise to do so.
Unlike Gay Pride, the Halloween Festival is not a declaration to the world about the gay community. It demands no attention and invites no judgment, it isn't about us as a collective. It has no political element or statement about who we are. If anything, tonight is about who we are not.
And, after all, if exposed body parts offends your sensibilities, don't come to West Hollywood on Halloween Night.
But nudity – real or comic – is not the only area where offense can be found. There will also be at least one Jesus, a flock of nuns, and politicians of various stripes (I expect more than a few Marcus and Michele Bachmanns). And there will be people decked out in costumes of other people's cultures, using contrived "accents", and playing on stereotypes.
Yet, for the most part, the offense gets a pass. And as cruelty is seldom the intention, it gets written off to ignorance or, perhaps, comedy.
But there is one rule that is observed, a rule I considered challenging this year – unless you are black, don't come black. You can be Pharaohs with brown makeup, Aztecs in copper, or Greek Gods decked in bronzer (I've been all three), but do not show up in a costume of an African American of any age, gender, or period.
This rule developed as a result of Minstrel Shows, at one point the most popular entertainment form in the country. Minstrels were white men (though there were later black mintrels) who painted their faces black and delivered jokes, made bad puns, and sang songs written by or reflective of the style of African Americans.
Not altogether without positive characteristics, this art form introduced white America to black music (or, at least, a white impression of black music) and its influences can be seen today in a number of genres and the shows, which included both male and female characters played by men or male teens, kept alive a long "drag" tradition during the mid nineteenth century. And, more importantly, many shows in the 1830's had themes which encouraged sympathy for black slaves and contributed to the emancipation movement.
However, many others were vicious or petty and deliberately portrayed African Americans as lazy and childlike and happiest when enslaved. And all minstrel shows, regardless of intent, relied on the assumption of white superiority and created or reinforced stereotypes of African Americans through the use of stock characters such as Lucy Long and Jim Crow. Considering their contribution to negative and demeaning attitudes, most African Americans consider minstrel shows and blackface to be emblematic of the racial inequalities experienced in this country.
Yet, even knowing the history and reason for the universal ban on going black for Halloween, I considered violating that rule.
A group of friends who always do Halloween together decided that this year's them is "divas". And they thought I'd make a good Whitney (from the "crack is wack" era). And I toyed with the idea.
Race, as defined in the United States, is fascinating and in many ways both amusing and frustrating. While racism is still active and present and far too easily identified when you look for it, social interaction and respect have made differences less charged and I wonder if it might be time to stop letting race be as restrictive as it has been.
I don't think we are, as a people, anywhere near the place that blackface can be acceptable. The damage is still present.
But there is a difference between going on Halloween as "a black guy" and going as a specific person, such as Whitney Houston. The presentation is not about "being black" or "doing black things" but rather as a specific person with specific characteristics.
And it's not exactly a drastic change. As my friend said, it's just a couple spray tans from my own skin color.
But I thought about it. And asked myself how I'd feel about some straight guy being Carson Kressley for Halloween. It's not like he could be that character without Carson's flamboyance or over-the-top personality. And it could be too much. It could be offensive.
And just as a Carson Kressley impersonation could have all the stereotypical campiness of Carson with none of the charm that kept him on Dancing with the Stars for weeks (he too can't dance), my Whitney could look an awful lot like "guy who darkened his skin and put on a dress". In other words, it could rely too much on color to identify Whitney and too little on her own personal identifiable characteristics.
And I'm not the right person to make the call on when such a costume could be free of offense. I haven't lived the black experience; store clerks don't assume I'm there to steal, no one questions what I wear or drive, and I've not been the last one waited on in a restaurant.
I've never experienced being treated differently due to race. I've never even been – as my mother was just a generation before me – hesitant to admit my ethnic heritage. I don't get to decide when is long enough.
So whether or not Black America is ready to tolerate a white guy playing black (as Tropic Thunder hints), I'm not the guy to pull it off. I would most certainly offend, and why do that.
So tonight I'm Cher. Half-Breed. Long hair, Indian headdress. My own skin.
I plan on touching my tongue to my upper lip, tossing my hair, and giving my best Cher-ala-Jack "whoooah." And if anyone doesn't like it, too bad.

For a lot of families with children, the holidays the most stressful time of the year. Endless demands for toys and video games place a heavy financial burden on parents who have trouble saying no, and a season that's supposed to be about love and family often ends up being about credit card debt.
One way to make it about family again while also fighting the financial woes associated with it is to use it as a time to teach kids about money. When I was a little kid, I learned a lot about money from some of my favorite children's book: especially the Berenstain Bears. If you have kids between the ages of 4 and 8, there are 3 great titles in the series that will help you impart some priceless life lessons about money:
The Berenstain Bears' Trouble with Money -- Brother and Sister Bear look for jobs to earn money for a popular arcade game, and learn some important lessons about working, saving, and spending.
The Berenstain Bears Get the Gimmes -- I'll never forget this book because whenever my brother and I wanted something my parents deemed unnecessary, they asked us if we were "developing a case of the gimmes". In this wonderful book, Brother and Sister Bear want everything in sight and throw tantrums when they can't have it -- until Mama and Papa Bear teach them the importance of appreciating the things they already have.
The Berenstain Bears' Dollars and Sense -- Brother and Sister Bear are experts on spending, but thoroughly in need of some guidance on saving and managing a budget. This one even comes with a special checkbook to help kids budget and learn about money.
At just $3.99 each on Amazon, these belong in the library of every family in America. I wonder how much lower the average consumer's debt would be if they'd been exposed to these -- I'm serious, they're that good.
Another good contribution to the field of children's books about money is Dave Ramsey's "Life Lessons With Junior" series, also available on Amazon.com. Through trial and error and the guidance of his parents, a young boy learns a new lesson in each story: Work, spending, debt, giving, integrity, saving, and contentment.
Stories have always been one of the best ways for young children to learn important life lessons, and these books are some of the best for teaching one of life's most important but most ignored lessons: the management of money.

Parents have a say in deciding their child's classroom setting
Thus far in this series, we have talked about children's challenging behaviors: what's typical, when to be concerned, strategies to work with the school to help your child with challenging behaviors, and what to do when those strategies fall short of meeting your child's needs. We have also covered special education: what it is, how to get an evaluation, who is eligible, and some questions to bear in mind when considering placement options. This section provides an overview of emotional and/or behavioral disorders (EBD). Emotional and/or behavioral disorders are not a mental health or psychiatric diagnosis. EBD is a term used in special education to describe children who have an established pattern of one or more of the following:
• Developmentally inappropriate behaviors that are aggressive, hyperactive impulsive, physically or verbally abusive, destructive or intimidating
• Disordered thought processes manifested by unusual behavior patterns, inappropriate laughter, crying, sounds or language; self-mutilation, or developmentally inappropriate sexual acting out; obsession with specific objects, rigidity, overly affectionate behavior towards unfamiliar persons; or hallucinations or delusions of grandeur
• Withdrawn or anxious behaviors, pervasive unhappiness, depression or severe problems with mood; exhibiting intense fears or school phobia, developing physical symptoms related to worry or stress, or changes in eating or sleeping patterns
• Has unsatisfactory educational progress that is not primarily a result of intellectual, sensory, physical health, cultural, or linguistic factors, illegal chemical use, autism spectrum disorders or inconsistent educational programming
• An inability to exhibit social competence — their social behavior is significantly different than what is culturally, age or ethnically appropriate. Continue Reading →

text: Geologists plan journey to Earth's mantle for 2020 Science 28 March 11 by Duncan Geere Flickr / CC-licensed: Image Editor Previous attempts to reach the area below the Earth's crust have failed, but that hasn't deterred a team of geologists and oceanographers from planning to have another go in 2020.The first attempt took place in Spring 1961, and was known as Project Mohole, because the team behind it were trying to drill a hole through the Mohorovičić discontinuity -- the zone between the crust and the mantle. However, after drilling a hole just 180m deep, the project was abandoned due to cost overruns.Since then, we've repeatedly probed the seabed (where the crust is thinnest) with drills, making it down to 1,416m below the surface in 2005 and 2,100m at the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program's Hole 504B. As the crust is 6-7km thick on average, this represents scant progress.However, a report in the journal Nature proposes another go, using the Japanese drilling ship Chikyu, which can carry 10km of pipes (however was recently damaged by the Japanese tsunami). Damon Teagle is a co-author of that paper and told BBC News: "This would be a very significant engineering undertaking. We're talking 6km of ocean crust and we'd want to get some distance into the mantle -- maybe 500m. So that's a very deep hole; and it would be in water that is perhaps 3-4km deep as well. Also, we would encounter temperatures around 250-300 degrees at least. It would be hot and demanding."The technology to get that far down, and the funding necessary to acquire it, isn't expected to arrive until at least 2018, hence the delay in the start of the project. That hasn't stopped the team behind the project scouting out possible locations -- narrowing the choice down to three locations in the Pacific.The eventual goal is to recover materials from inside the mantle, to try and learn more about the Earth's internal composition. The mantle is thought to primarily be composed of peridotites -- olivine and pyroxene. While samples of these materials have been recovered from volcanoes, they tend to be altered by their journey to the surface. Acquiring unaltered, pristine samples would tell us a lot about convection below the crust, giving us insights into seismology. "We want, for the first time ever, to sample these kinds of rocks in situ, to test the different models that we have to explain the behaviour of this crust," said Teagle.

Learn Spanish - First Learn the Alphabet
By: Karen Celine Carlson |
If you want to learn Spanish as a second language the first thing that you must do is learn the Spanish alphabet. Think about it, you learned the English alphabet before you learned anything else about the language, so why shouldn't it work the same way with Spanish? You should make sure that you understand the phonetics of each letter in the alphabet; do not just memorize it by sight. If you understand the Spanish alphabet, you are already one huge step ahead of the game as you have a much greater chance of saying words correctly when you see them for the first time.

Leveling in off spec on resto druid4 replies to this topic
Posted 24 November 2012 - 08:27 PM
I know this seems long and off topic but just adding a few details to help you all understand the situation I have a resto Druid that I'm going to get back to leveling, I have 2 friends that are both level 60, a disc priest and destro lock, well the priest hasn't played that toon in a long time and isn't used to healing but is in full BoA so we are going to be leveling together in 5 mans and some questing, well we can't both be healers so I'm going to have an off spec to play when I'm with them but not sure what I can really play good enough in my resto gear, is their a spec I can play along with resto to be good enough to handle my role without getting kicked? I'll be getting some BoA gear but not sure what exactly I should get or what I can play in one set of gear, not really wanting to buy 2 sets of gear for 1 toon
Posted 25 November 2012 - 10:21 AM
I do have a druid as well, resto and balance (boomkin) using the same gear for both specs. Ofcourse it suits one spec better then the other but never had probs with it.
Posted 25 November 2012 - 02:57 PM
Ok I was thinking I would probably need boomkin with resto since I would have all that caster gear, was kinda hoping that since the Druid is known for being so versatile that I could be feral for my other spec or even guardian, I have played feral before and did like it but decided that I wanted to be a healer since I also have a blood dk and have enjoyed tanking I would be able to fill any role, is it possible for me to be feral/resto in any set of BoA gear (maybe even have some pieces healing gear and some rogue or tank gear) or even guardian since I'll be with a disc priest in full BoA without her ooming every fight. And I'm not wanting to be top dps or the best tank ever, just good enough that I can do 5 mans with my friends without people complaining about my performance, Zaron The Insane @ Shattered Halls (Horde) US
Posted 25 November 2012 - 03:17 PM
i suggest you take a look at "classes" at the top of the forum, and look at the different ones you are thinking of yourself. Imo the combo guardian/resto doesnt really fit or even resto/feral, quite different stats to aim for to play at least decent. Would really go for resto/boomkin, then you have best of both worlds then again, just my 50cnts
Posted 27 November 2012 - 03:36 PM
Ofcourse you would go for balance, no reason not to. First, you'd destroy everything in your path and second, shares the same gear as resto. Ofc you would want to aim for spirit gear so you can be more effective when needed to heal. Another thing you should take into consideration is the caster origin of your trio there, they both will greatly benefit from 5% haste buff that you bring to the table Happy adventures

Gov. Mike Pence asked farmers and others to return any unused propane to their suppliers Wednesday, as the state continues to feel the effects of an ongoing regional shortage.
Pence also announced he would extend travel waivers to truckers to maintain the flow of propane to homeowners and farmers and add $5 million in heating assistance for low-income residents.
The governor estimated that roughly 500,000 Indiana residents rely on propane to heat their homes.
"I think the actions we're taking today are all focused on trying to bring some real relief," Pence said. "It is not an overstatement to say we are facing a serious shortage in propane."
The governor's actions come on the heels of recent legislative efforts. The Indiana Senate gave initial approval to lifting the sales tax on propane sales Tuesday, since propane prices have skyrocketed amid the shortage. Some customers reporting seeing prices double from $2.50 a gallon to $5 a gallon.
Pence noted that heavy rainfall during the fall required farmers to dry their grains with propane, combined with brutally cold temperatures this month to place a squeeze on propane supplies.
Members of Indiana's congressional delegation, meanwhile, sent a request to the U.S. Department of Transportation to lift a federal limit on hours when suppliers can transport fuels.
"We have heard from many distributors and customers in Indiana who have been directly impacted by this shortage. As additional winter storms and unusually low temperatures continue to impact the Hoosier state, the situation is becoming critical," the group wrote in a letter Wednesday to U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.
Republican U.S. Reps. Susan Brooks, Larry Bucshon, Luke Messer, Todd Rokita, Marlin Stutzman and Todd Young signed onto the letter with U.S. Sen. Dan Coats, a Republican.

Pounds added by Robert Craighead last year to play defensive line
The biggest question entering spring practice revolved around how the Aztecs would replace Gavin Escobar at the depleted tight end position.
So perhaps it's fitting that a tight end has emerged as the surprise of the spring season so far.
Five practices into spring, Robert Craighead has validated the coaching staff's decision to move him from defensive line to tight end.
"We wouldn't have moved him over there if we didn't think he was going to do good, but I think Craighead is a pleasant surprise to everybody else," coach Rocky Long said this week when asked to name the biggest surprise of the spring so far.
The sophomore from Lakeside's El Capitan High School is Long's kind of player: a guy who will sacrifice all for the good of the team.
After all, this isn't the first time Craighead has been asked to switch positions.
The Aztecs recruited him as a tight end in 2011, and that's the position he played during his redshirt year on the scout team.
Then they asked him to switch to defensive line in 2012 because of a need for size at the position. Craighead complied even though it meant having to pack 20 extra pounds onto his 6-foot-3, 265-pound frame.
"I just play wherever the team needs me," Craighead said.
That's the attitude he has always maintained. He started as a linebacker in high school, but was asked to move to tight end during his sophomore year. As an upperclassman, he rarely came off the field, playing linebacker or defensive end on defense, and tight end on offense.
So when Escobar decided to leave school early to declare himself eligible for the NFL Draft, and the Aztecs found themselves thin at tight end, Craighead was asked to move back.
"I (thought) with his size, he'd be a good blocker," Long said. "Our question mark was whether he could catch the ball."
That question has been answered.
Craighead's soft hands have been on full display this spring as he has plucked ball after ball out of the air, while shaking off any linebacker or safety who has tried to stop him.
His receiving abilities, coupled with the physicality borne off a season on the defensive line, could make him tough for opposing defenders to bring down.
But there's work to be done.
For one, Craighead is still trying to lose some of the weight he was ordered to gain last year.
"I (started at) 260 last year and by the end of the season I was weighing 280," said Craighead, who's now hovering at about 272 pounds. "I've lost some weight but I still have to work my way back down."
Even though it had been about a year since he'd last caught a pass, Craighead didn't have any trouble rekindling his receiving abilities.
"Not trying to brag, but it kinda just came (naturally)," Craighead said. "I haven't been running any routes with anyone lately, I think I just went for it."
He's still getting up to speed with the new offense and trying to regain his footwork.
But all that aside, it looks as if Craighead will be one of the Aztecs' best assets at tight end this fall.

The United States is considering launching a punitive strike against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, blamed by the U.S. and the Syrian opposition for an Aug. 21 alleged chemical weapons attack in a rebel-held suburb of the Syrian capital of Damascus. The U.S. said the attack killed 1,429 people, including at least 426 children. Those numbers are significantly higher than the death toll of 355 provided by the aid group Doctors Without Borders.
President Barack Obama said he has decided that the United States should take military action against Syria but is seeking congressional authorization for the use of force in a vote expected after Congress returns to work Sept. 9.
Here's a look at key Syria developments around the world Monday amid heightened tensions over potential military action:
Assad said military strikes against his country would risk triggering a regional war. He said the Middle East is a "powder keg" and no one can say what will transpire if the West takes military action against Syria. He warned "the whole world will lose control of the situation. Chaos and extremism will spread. The risk of a regional war exists."
Sen. John McCain told reporters at the White House that Obama must make a strong case for attacking Bashar Assad's Syria if he wants to win congressional backing for the operation. He also said Obama's intervention now will be more difficult because Assad "is moving his forces around." Both McCain and Sen. Lindsay Graham, who spoke after meeting Obama, questioned the wisdom of the administration publicly signaling in advance its intention to strike.
A French intelligence report estimated that the Syrian regime launched the alleged Aug. 21 attack involving a "massive use of chemical agents" and could carry out similar strikes in the future. The government, on its Web site, published a 9-page intelligence synopsis about Syria's chemical weapons program that found that at least 281 deaths could be attributed to the attack in rebel-held areas outside Damascus.

|For for the Hidden Valley quartermaster, see Torres.
I was young and pretty, I don't need to tell you what my duties were..."
Alejandra Torres is a runaway slave in the Temple of the Union in 2277.
Alejandra was a historian and a tinkerer. She was a sex slave for 4 of her 22 years. After her master got married, she was sold to Hannibal Hamlin, who promptly freed her and ran away himself. She is quiet and smart, and has the best understanding of science and machinery of anyone in the Temple of the Union. If the Lone Wanderer asks her what she does, she also admits she wants to build a shrine to Abraham Lincoln. It is unknown if this has anything to do with the strange shrine that already exists to him inside the basement of the Arlington House, but it is very improbable, as they aren't really linked.

U.S. and Iraqi Soldiers train during mass casualty scenario
September 19, 2010
Story Highlights
- US and Iraqi Soldiers teamed up for a mass casualty training exercise at Camp Ur, Iraq.
- The exercise was the culmination on months of training by the Iraqi Army, advised by the 64th BSB.
CAMP UR, Iraq - An ambulance races down the street, leaving a dust cloud in its wake. Coming to an abrupt halt, doors fly open, and a medic jumps out. Fellow Iraqi Soldiers are wounded and in need of medical care at the Iraqi Army's Camp Ur.
Patients are stabilized for transportation and placed into the ambulance. The back doors are closed and the ambulance furiously races back to the camp's aid station.
A 10th IA Transportation Headquarters treatment team advised by a 64th Brigade Support Battalion, 3rd Advise and Assist Brigade, 4th Infantry Division medical noncommissioned officer is standing by waiting to receive casualties.
Luckily, all of this was only a drill. It was an effort to evaluate what the 10th IA learned after three months of Iraqi Army led training, advised by the 64th BSB.
During the mass casualty exercise, Brig. Gen. Ali Jawad Kazem, 10th IA Transportation HQ commander, observed the work of the medics at the aid station.
"I am confident that my medics can handle multiple casualties and save many lives," he said after the exercise.
Sgt. Francisco Solis of El Paso, Texas, a medical NCO with 64th BSB, has spent three months advising Iraqi instructors on how to plan for mass casualty operations, how to set up casualty collection points, triage, trauma treatment areas, and how to evacuate casualties to a higher level of care.
Partnered with two Iraqi medics, Solis taught four basic first aid and medical classes similar to a combat lifesaver course. The classes illustrated mass casualty situations are not only about giving medical treatment but on security, logistical and personnel support, and leaders' command and control to bring order to chaos.
The 64th BSB's logistical training and advisory officer has been advising Ali over the last few months on the importance of the operational side, establishing casualty collection points and ensuring the evacuation plans were established for Camp Ur.
"Brig. Gen. Ali is constantly focused on training and improving his organization," said Capt. Tiffany Bilderback from Milwaukee, 64th BSB, logistical training and advisory officer. "All of his officers and [soldiers] understand his priorities and take training events very seriously, which causes them to continuously improve as a unit,"

Fedotenko on Flyers' season: 'Nobody expected this'
OTTAWA – Most days after a Flyers practice or morning skate, you will find him sitting there at his stall with his gear off just surveying the dressing room.
Ruslan Fedotenko doesn't say much, but he's taking it all in.
His disillusionment is as great as any player on this roster because when you've won a couple of Stanley Cups, you know what to expect and how to get there the next time you're traded or sign with a new team.
While the Flyers weren't as strong as the Penguins or Rangers in the Atlantic Division, no one would have predicted they'd finish dead last there.
"Nobody expected this," Fedotenko said. "I expected to compete for the Cup. So, but I am sure a lot of people expected that."
The Flyers' lockout-shortened season of unmitigated disaster will end tonight against the Senators. For a number of players, this will be their last game in a Flyers uniform.
Players such as Fedotenko.
The irony is, of the several players the Flyers signed during a poor offseason last summer, Fedotenko has delivered exactly what management should have expected: a role player with strong defensive characteristics, but one who was not going to make up the significant loss in offense created by Jaromir Jagr's departure.
There are 17 Flyers whose plus/minus this season is in the negative.
Fedotenko is not among them. He is plus-8 with 13 points and averaging 12:34 a night on a fourth line with penalty kill responsibilities.
"When I watched the Flyers last season, I felt they needed a more defensive player, especially after seeing their Pittsburgh series," he said.
"That is probably something they could have used here. Whether I gave them that, you have to ask them."
He did.
Yet the lack of offense, all around, is why the Flyers will seek to replace Fedotenko this summer with a player who can deliver more goals.
"I never thought we would not be in the playoffs," Fedotenko said. "And I feel like I don't know. I feel a lot of people feel the same way. No one thought we would be out and not fighting for playoffs.
"Whatever word you can use, I feel it is pretty shocking looking back. It's not the season anyone expected."
His agent, Allan Walsh, wanted him to sign with the Flyers last July.
"He liked it and he knew what I was looking for," Fedotenko said. "He thought it was a good opportunity for me.
"Then again, nobody thought we would be in this situation right now. It is what it is. No one to blame but ourselves for not playing the way we needed to. There was no consistency to our game."
Fedotenko won a Cup in Tampa and later in Pittsburgh. He played on a bad Islanders team in between.
"For me, this is kind of like new territory," Fedotenko said. "In my 13-year career, the only time I ever missed the playoffs was with the Islanders. I had an MCL knee injury.
"When I played, I knew I was competing for the playoffs. Playing for pride to make the playoffs and knowing you are going to be there. This, it's a first for me. It's very disappointing."
Loose pucks
Coach Peter Laviolette would not say on Friday who his final starter was in goal but the assumption was Steve Mason, given the rotation at the end. Mason will go against the Senators. This will be Mason's seventh appearance (sixth start) since joining the Flyers on April 4 in Toronto. ... Ottawa will start Craig Anderson in goal. ... The Flyers will see Sens defenseman Erik Karlsson tonight. Amazing considering his recovery from a sliced Achilles tendon on Feb. 13 against Pittsburgh. He would have been a good candidate for the Masterton, but the voting closed before he came back from his injury. ... Flyers goalie prospect Anthony Stolarz is 12-1-1 in the playoffs with London. ... Flyers president Peter Luukko is on this final road trip.

While applications security is important, it is not a solution for everything. Certainly not a solution for the recent attacks on multiple financial services firms over the past two weeks. This is but an example of a vendor trying to sell something using scare tactics
nice plug for cigital
How does secure software development process stop DDoS attacks? A very misleading article.
This is very loose butthole. Secure coding won't do anything for a 40+ Gb/sec DDOS attack.
The report, in fact, had three authors: McGraw, Migues, and West.
Cigital's web site list JP Morgan, Bank of America as clients. Doesn't look like it's helped
I've found that many, if not most, computer security types are entranced with internal security. When it comes to external security, i.e. massive DDos attack like what we are now witnessing, they get real quiet. Because there doesn't seem to be much that can be done. Except, ask your 16-year old. Of course, it's 'just the customer interface'. Not really important. Unless you are the customer.
Zune and iPod: Most people coapmre the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
I just want to say I am just very new to blogs and certainly liked this web-site. Most likely I'm want to bookmark your website . You absolutely have fabulous well written articles. Many thanks for sharing with us your web-site.
nice post!!

Ratings Assigned to AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust 2000-A Feb 00
NEW YORK (Standard & Poor's CreditWire) Feb. 24, 2000--Standard & Poor's assigned its ratings to AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust 2000-A's US$1.3 billion asset-backed notes (see list). The ratings on the fixed-rate class A-2, A-3, and A-4 notes are based on the insurance policy provided by Financial Security Assurance Inc. (FSA; triple-'A' insurer financial strength rating). Under this policy, FSA unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees payment of scheduled principal and interest. While FSA is also insuring the class A-1 fixed-rate notes, Standard & Poor's rating on these notes is not based on the policy, but rather on internal credit support and conservative cash flow projections.

Public Health Education for Physicians (PHEP) provides education to physicians-in-training about public health. The primary target groups are primary care residents from the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS); other levels of physician training from DHS as well as other institutions, however, will be considered.
PHEP uses two approaches to provide public health education: didactic and experiential. For the didactic, PHEP has a list of public health topics that are available. Please contact PHEP to arrange any of these talks or others. The experiential approach is through public health rotations.
Public Health rotations are offered on an individual basis by contacting PHEP. The standard duration for a public health rotation is one month. The experience can be individualized to fit the physician-in-training's needs. Please contact PHEP at least 2 months prior to the desired start of a rotation so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
For further information about PHEP trainings, please contact the PHEP/Medical Affairs office at email@example.com and include PHEP in subject line.

Tourism directors from Bonham, Gainesville, Denison, McKinney, Whitesboro, and Lake Texoma spent hours brainstorming ways to increase tourism. One of the ideas was to advertise for one another. Today's meeting gave tourism directors a chance to share ideas but no formal alliances were made. Event organizers hope to hold similar events twice a year.

The first hint is the Frostian headline. Diverge? You mean the stories kind of break apart and go in different directions? Well, isn't one story going in the right direction? The headline seems rather agnostic on that score.
Another clue is the way the Times kind of buries the the Nov. 8 email exchange, which appears a little higher in the Courant version. The whole story is about timing, so emails, with their time codes, are especially interesting.
After Jayson Blair episode, the Times made a big fuss about relying less on anonymous sources.
This story, at this point, is entirely propped up by anonymous sources. Perez-Pena really needs to get one of these people on the record.
Cards on the table: I'm a Yale graduate, but not a particularly blue-bleeding one. I don't really care one way or the other whether this story is true.
But I do recognize a pattern of the Times over-selling a story and then falling back on anonymous sources when the questions well up. And I'm not wild about it.
