Poland: Economic Overview
For several years Poland has paid the price of fiscal reform. Now led by former communist Alexander Kwasniewski, it is expanding its economy rapidly with large injections of foreign investment. Despite the perennial division of political parties and labor unions within the country, a consensus on the need for massive privatization and infrastructure modernization is expected to keep growth close to 6% in 1997.
Poland's accession to the OECD in mid1996 accelerated fiscal reforms that will spur foreign investment even more. The evolution of these reforms, guaranteeing equal treatment for foreign and domestic investors, easing restrictions on capital flows, and facilitating real estate purchases, make Poland one of the prime targets in Eastern Europe for Western capital.
A cornerstone of Poland's economic reforms is its Mass Privatization Program, initiated in November 1995, which will result in the divestment of some 500 state companies through 15 sectoral investment funds and the Warsaw stock exchange.With management boards comprised of both Polish and foreign members, these 15 national investment funds will oversee the sale of companies within their sector. The funds will share the equity of the privatized companies with workers; who will hold 15%; the national treasury,which will hold 25%; and other investment funds.
In mid-1996 the state sector accounted for 38% of the total labor force and about 40% of Poland's GDP, including 56% of industrial production. The main state-dominated sectors are mining, steel, power generation and distribution, telecommunication, shipbuilding, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, and arms.
In 1996 Poland approved its first privately financed build-operate-transfer project for the public utilities sector, involving a power plant and a municipal wastewater treatment facility. By the end of 1996 there were nearly a dozen privately financed infrastructure deals under negotiation or development, with a cumulative value of more than $4 billion, including three power plants, two toll roads, and a toll bridge.
The National Bank of Poland is the country's central bank. A number of stateowned commercial banks have links to foreign banks both for resources and technical expertise. Currently, some 90 banks in Poland are privately owned or operate as commercial companies, and 18 foreign banks operate as joint stock companies. According to Polish reports, the assets of the 50 largest banks at the end of 1995 was $54.67 billion.
There are also more than 1,500 independent cooperative banks in the country, about half engaged in restructuring. …

Last night across the pond, the BAFTAs were handed out, once again giving prognosticators something to think about, particularly as they are the last major awards before the Oscars (full list of winners here). And essentially, there is no frontrunner, with "Gravity" taking six awards, but "12 Years A Slave" winning the key categories of Best Film and Best Actor. But one sure thing is Cate Blanchett who has pretty much won everything this awards season for her turn in "Blue Jasmine," and she used her time in the winner's circle last night to honor a late, great talent.
Hitting the stage to accept her Best Leading Actress trophy, Blanchett dedicated her win to Philip Seymour Hoffman. She called him "a monumental presence who is now sadly an absence," and closed off her brief speech by saying, "Phil, buddy, this is for you, you bastard."
Blanchett and Hoffman only featured in one film together — "The Talented Mr. Ripley" — but the respect he garnered from his colleagues speaks for itself. And we're sure come Oscar night, there will be more tributes to the man who was one of the best of his generation. Watch Blanchett's speech below.

The nurse handed over my first-born wrapped in a tiny pink blanket. Transfixed, I gazed into her angelic face while wondering what in the heck I was going to do.
Thirteen months later, this same scene repeated itself.
A Midwesterner by birth, my only goal upon college graduation was moving to Montana to become a mountain man. I moved to Montana; but instead of being swept downriver by a rushing current, I was swept off my feet by a woman. We married and had two daughters.
Before I ever arrowed an elk, I was back in the Midwest.
Football, fishing and hunting, these are the things I understand. I was supposed to have sons. I was going to teach them the thrill of busting through the line to smash a running back, the many advantages of a slip-bobber and the importance of always keeping the wind in your face. I was meant to date cheerleaders, not raise them.
But sons weren't in the cards for me, and now, nine years later, I thank God every day.
Being a father of daughters is the greatest gift a man's man will ever know. My little girls have developed my softer side, and I am a better human being because of them. Hugs and kisses everyday, resounding laughter, intense curiosity, curled lips and crocodile tears constantly pull at different heart strings, and responding to each unique daddy/daughter situation is a test I never prepared for.
The give-and-take of my relationship with my daughters requires a level of carefulness void from other aspects of my aggressive nature.
As a new father of a baby girl, everyone wants to tell you, "Girls like the outdoors, too." But you don't believe them. It's "fisherman," not "fisherwoman." You know it won't be the same. And it's not. But in many ways, it's better.
One reason it's better is because you pay closer attention to girls. You remain more present in the moment. Males are hard-wired to be protective of females, and on the water and in woods it shows. I've observed friends, great dads, with their sons. It's different. Their leash is longer.
Bailee is now 9, and Annabel is 8. They're amazing and similar in a lot of ways. They've had no chance to escape the wonders of nature in our household, and thankfully they have each embraced the outdoors. They share a pony and an outstanding Labrador. They're gleeful when they hear the whistle of a bobwhite quail. They know the value of morel mushrooms, even though they don't like the taste, yet.
As much as they share, their profound differences are also apparent.
Bailee is a hunter. She's incredibly athletic and has inherited my competitive, aggressive nature. She killed a turkey on her first hunt when she was 7. This past spring, she cried when she missed. Bailee fishes, camps, hikes and turns over rocks in the river just to see what's crawling on the bottom. She wants to skydive. I won't let her.
Annabel is a butterfly. She floats through life. Her nickname is "Oppsy," because trees and rocks have a way of jumping out in front of her. Letting a breeze sway her hammock as she draws pictures is her paradise. She's also found joy in fly fishing, which is fitting. Fly fishing requires a concentrated aloofness.
She and I took a trip, just the two of us, to Arkansas last winter. We spent three days fishing and floating. With each trout she pulled from Dry Run Creek, her confidence grew. It was like watching a balloon fill until popped. Then she'd want to go take pictures of birds.
Grandsons would be cool someday. But for now, life as a father of daughters couldn't be better. I never suspected love this intense could exist nor that it could be so fun giving myself to these two tiny creatures who scare me senseless, yet motivate my every next move.
Raising cheerleaders, and they both do go to cheer camp, was not the dream of this wanderlust, wannabe mountain man. Today, all I can say is, "Give me a D, give me an A, give me a U, give me a G, give me a H, give me a T, give me an E, give me a R, give me a S. What's that spell, HAPPINESS."
See you down the trail.

Other Lives
Between dates with the Vaccines in Europe and opening for Radiohead in the U.S., Oklahoma folk-rock quintet Other Lives bring their rich, evocative sound to the intimate confines of the Entry on a short headlining tour of their own. In all likelihood, this show will be the last chance for local music fans to see the band in such a small venue. Touring in support of their gorgeous recent record, Tamer Animals, the group has crafted a timeless sound that immediately seems familiar, but gracefully reveals added depth and texture with each listen. Some major players in the music industry have fallen for them already, and now here's your chance to start swooning over the band along with the rest of us. The captivating local quartet Halloween, Alaska open the evening, and will complement the intoxicating sounds of the headliners. 18+.

Thomasville, GA (AP) - The candidates for Congress in southwest
Georgia are disputing the effectiveness of a federal stimulus
program intended to revive a tanking economy.
Republican Mike Keown said in a debate Tuesday that
the $787 billion stimulus program has not worked because
unemployment is still high. He blamed the program for creating more
government jobs.
Democratic incumbent Sanford Bishop said the federal spending
passed in 2009 helped revive an economy during a crisis. He said
lawmakers needed to focus on reviving the economy first, then worry
about costs later. Bishop said the economy is now on the mend.
The Democratic incumbent has held his seat since 1992.

Over the last five years, since the release of the first open-source version of OpenNebula in March 2008, we have been involved in many presentations, discussions and meetings where people wanted to know how OpenNebula compares with the rest of open-source Cloud Management Platforms (CMPs), mostly with Eucalyptus and OpenStack. The most common understanding is that all CMPs are competing in the same market, trying to fill the same gap. Consequently, people jump to the wrong conclusion that after years of a fierce competition, there will only be one winner, a single open-source CMP in the market. However, as discussed by Joe Brockmeier in his post "It's Not Highlander, There Can Be More Than One Open Source Cloud", there is room in the market for several open-source CMPs that, addressing different cloud niches, will fit together into a broad open cloud ecosystem.
We have prepared this article to briefly describe our experience about the different types of cloud models, and our view about how the main open-source CMPs are targeting their needs. Do not expect a table comparing side-by-side the size of the communities, technical features of the different tools, or the management structure of the projects. We have tried to focus only on their general approaches, on their overall position in the cloud market, and, of course we have tried to be as neutral as possible.
Two Different Cloud Models
Although there are as many ways to understand cloud computing as there are organizations planning to build a cloud, they mostly fall between two extreme cloud models:
- Datacenter Virtualization: On one side, there are businesses that understand cloud as an extension of virtualization in the datacenter; hence looking for a vCloud-like infrastructure automation tool to orchestrate and simplify the management of the virtualized resources.
- Infrastructure Provision: On the other side, there are businesses that understand cloud as an AWS-like cloud on-premise; hence looking for a provisioning tool to supply virtualized resources on-demand.
Yes, we know, we said that we wanted to focus only on open-source CMPs. However we have intentionally used two of the principal cloud "products", VMware vCloud and AWS, a proprietary CMP and a cloud service, because they are the most well known implementations of both models. We will go even a step ahead and claim that most of the users in the first cloud model explicitly express their willingness to find an open alternative to vCloud because it is too expensive, because they want to avoid vendor lock-in, or because it cannot be adapted to meet their needs. Equally, users in the second cloud model explicitly mention Amazon as the type of cloud they want to build internally.

What are the numbers inside each circle?
I had hoped my explanation near the lower right of the map would be sufficient. Apparently not. Those numerals represent the number hours before or after the closest approach of the asteroid to Earth at 19:24:41 UT. Each one's placement is at the location where the asteroid will appear in the zenith at that time.

Steven Greenhut: Gov. Brown's pathetic Plan B
California's Proposition 30, which would raise sales and income taxes, is sinking fast in the polls. Voters are realizing that the measure – the heart and soul of Governor Jerry Brown's plan to "save" California – is just another cynically devised and promoted way to prop up the status quo.
The measure is slightly ahead, but dropping below the critical 50 percent mark, which is a trouble sign as Election Day approached. Californians tend to vote for politicians who want to raise taxes, but are more conservative when it comes to direct tax increases.
As the Sacramento Bee's Dan Walters wrote last week, state- government insiders are "turning their attention, however reluctantly, to the fallout should, indeed, voters reject" the tax plan. Brown says there is no Plan B.
He has been traveling around the state issuing dire warnings that he will have to cut education spending and children will suffer.
"I've never quite seen such a stark black-and-white issue in my life in government," he said in an interview with The Associated Press. He spoke recently at an elementary school in San Diego that was surrounded by "Yes on 30" political signs in Spanish and English, and whose principal declared, "There's nowhere left to cut."
Yet the only reason that school funding is at risk for so-called trigger cuts is because the governor and Democratic legislators jiggered the budget to maximize the political message of Proposition 30. They built the budget around the assumption that it would pass, then "slashed" billions of dollars from education so they could warn about doomsday cuts.
"Many editorial pages failed to point out the brutal blackmail represented by the Prop. 30 strategy of creating a $5 billion hole in the K-12 education budget," Chris Reed, a San Diego Union-Tribune editorial writer, wrote in a CalWatchDog article. "Now those editorial pages are saying the hole can only be fixed by voters joining Brown in pretending that Prop. 30 supporters hold the moral high ground."
In fact, there's little chance education spending will be dramatically reduced. "What we do know is that his allies in the educational establishment, especially unions such as the California Teachers Association, have no intention of meekly accepting the trigger cuts, even if most school districts have already built that worst-case scenario into their current budgets," the Bee's Walters wrote.
Brown was stung not only by anti-tax groups, but by a competing measure on the ballot, Proposition 38, which would increase the income tax on almost all Californians for a dozen years, mainly to finance public education, with some money also earmarked for debt reduction. The ad campaign for that initiative, which is backed by Molly Munger, the daughter of billionaire Charles Munger, showed money flowing out of a schoolhouse and into the greedy hands of politicians. The image stuck.
The Los Angeles Times criticized the governor last week for failing to settle on a "central sales pitch" for the proposition. But he has been pushed off-message after events of the previous few months highlighted state-spending outrages.
For instance, the governor warned that 70 parks would close to save $33 million, but then the Sacramento Bee uncovered $54 million in hidden parks-department accounts, with employees granting themselves improper vacation payouts. Brown was also blamed for agreeing to a pension "reform" measure that barely touched the problem of the state's obligations to its public employees. And the more voters know about his high-speed train to nowhere, a plan that would cost billions of dollars, the more they realize that California's government isn't even cut at the flesh, let alone the bone.
There's even doubt that the trigger cuts in the schools will be real decreases. Government agencies often complain about draconian budgets, when what they really mean is a reduction in the rate of spending growth – a ploy in every campaign season.

"Asia to drive growth to 2020"
"Asia to drive growth to 2020!"
"Indonesian Minister and RSPO open to collaboration on joint sustainable palm oil standard"
10/6/14, cosmeticsdesign-asia.com
"Unilever to Begin Operation of North Sumatra Palm Oil Plant By End of the year"
5/6/14, thejakartaglobe.com
According to Tata Strategic Management Group, increasing demand for biodegradable and sustainable products, coupled with recent changes in regulations, are increasing the importance of oleochemicals in various segments of the industry, notably polymers, lubricants and biosurfactants. Asia continues to drive demand in Oleochemicals, with Indonesia, Malaysia, China and India leading the trend.
Indonesia's Ministry of Industry targets Indonesia to be the world's largest manufacturer of oleochemicals by 2020! As the largest producer of crude palm oil (CPO) in the world, Indonesia is likely to outnumber the world's industrial base oleochemicals in Malaysia, determined to further develop the processing industry to value add to the palm industry.
With the recent biodiesel mandate in Indonesia, opportunities are aplenty for the biodiesel producers and suppliers. However, how will it impact the price of palm oil moving forward?
With more companies joining the RSPO and moving towards sustainability and traceability, it is no longer a choice but a MUST to stay ahead of the game! What is the cost impact of RSPO certified products? What are the challenges of supplying RSPO certified oleochem and derivatives?

Unilever Oleochemical Indonesia, a sister company of Unilever Indonesia (one of the largest producers of consumer goods in the country), is in the process of completing its eco-friendly palm oil processing plant on the North Sumatran coast of Indonesia. The plant is expected to commence operations by 2015.
The 1.5 trillion rupiah ($126 million) project was secured by Unilever in mid-2013.
The plant will produce chemicals for soap and detergent manufacturers by processing palm oil. The chemicals are said to be used by factories in Indonesia apart from Unilever's own affiliates in overseas markets.
It is located in the Sei Mangkei SEZ. The Indonesian government has extended support for Unilever's project. In fact, Unilever Oleochemical has been awarded a 5-year tax holiday along with a 2-year extension.
Purchasing palm oil from plantations grown on clear-cut tropical forest land has often come under criticism because it causes global warming. With this new plant, Unilever expects to usher in more transparency into Indonesia's palm oil supply chain, which has been critiqued in the past by environmental groups like Greenpeace.
In its commitment towards sustainable palm oil, Unilever has already announced that it plans to purchase its palm oil from certified producers by 2020.
At CMT's 2nd Oleochemicals Outlook, more insights on oleochemicals industry will be shared with a session on 'TRANSFORMING THE PALM OIL INDUSTRY' by Mr. Biswaranjan Sen, VP, Chemicals Procurement & Supply Procurement, Unilever.

Cargill, the US-based MNC, has recently announced that it has acquired Turkey based Alemdar Kimya - a vegetable oil-based industrial commodities producer.
Cargill is reported to have spent USD 50 million on the Turkish acquisition that covers all shares, name rights, facilities and a land plot adjacent to 95-year old Alemdar Kimya's production site in Gebze, Kocaeli.
The Turkish plant becomes Cargill's third oleochemicals plant outside the US and Russia.
The plant is expected to produce various industrial raw materials for sectors such as textiles, printing, machinery, and others.
Cargill has been making the most of Turkey's growing economy and the country has served as the company's management center for Middle Eastern and North African operations since 2008.
The new investment is expected to make Turkey a regional development and supply base for vegetable oil-based industrial products, helping Cargill to use locally procured raw materials for production. The investment is also said to reduce import of various industrial products and help reduce Turkey's current account deficit by USD 50 million a year.

A recent report in The Edge Review's Market Intelligence, revealed that Wilmar International Ltd., one of Asia's leading agribusiness groups, has shown interest in acquiring Malaysia based Sime Darby's oleochemicals division.
In fact the report suggests that the preliminary negotiations have already begun.
Wilmar has indicated that it's keen on acquiring Emery Olechemicals - a leader in natural-based chemicals - where Sime Darby holds 50 per cent stakes.
However, details on pricing and final deal is yet to be finalized.
Moreover, before the acquisition takes place, approval from Thailand based energy group - PTT Global Chemical has to be sought as PTT holds the remaining 50 per cent in Emery.
Meanwhile, bankers claim that Thailand's largest petrochemical maker - PTT Global, has pre-emption rights in the event of any planned divestment by Sime Darby. Plus, the Thai petrochemical honcho has already shown keen interest in taking full control of Emery in the past.
(Note: This story first appeared in The Edge Review's Market Intelligence Report section in February 2014).

Portland homicide detective Skin Kadash just wants to survive cancer treatment so he can get back to the work he loves. When his partner tries to drag him into an unofficial investigation of a series of deaths, he's not interested - he's dead-dog sick and doesn't need the grief - until she reveals the victims all suffered from cancer themselves, and all had one thing in common with Skin. His oncologist. The deaths are all apparent suicides; the police have closed the book on them. Then a mysterious young woman, daughter of the first victim, surfaces and insists the dead men were all murdered.
Born and raised in southern Oregon farm country, Ellie Spaneker flees her home and abusive husband, unaware she's being tracked by an ex-cop in the hire of her vengeful father-in-law. In Portland, retired homicide detective Skin Kadash fills his idle days drinking coffee and searching for Eager Gillespie, a teen runaway of special interest as the only witness in a troublesome and long-unsolved murder. Eager, meanwhile, is on his own, grifting and oblivious to the danger he's in.
When the steadfast Ruby Jane Whittaker drops out of sight, dogged ex-cop Skin Kadash sets out to discover what drove the woman he loves to leave her life behind so suddenly and without explanation. The discovery of a dead man in her apartment, followed by an attack by a mysterious stalker, leads Skin first to California, then across the country on a desperate journey deep into Ruby Jane's haunted past - and toward an explosive confrontation which will determine if either has a future.

It's not often that butlers get much notice. It's part of the job, really, to be unobtrusive. Invisible. A room or office, Cecil Gaines tells us in The Butler, should feel "empty when I'm in it."
Unless, of course, that office is the box office. And the butler in question is headlining a major motion picture.
Lee Daniels' The Butler drew some attention to itself this weekend, politely elbowing its way to the top of the weekend grosses and polishing an estimated $25 million—a dandy showing for the kind of drama that in the CGI-addled summertime movie season typically must sneak through the back door.
Not that The Butler had much competition from any newcomers. Its closest competition, in fact, came from a pair of holdovers: We're the Millers lost just a third of its audience and held tight to second place with $17.8 million, while last week's champ Elysium slipped to third with $13.6 mil.
In fact, The Butler's closest new combatant, Kick-A‑‑ 2, had its own keister kicked at the box office. The scurvy pseudo-superhero flick also earned around $13.6 million (studio estimates have it finishing just behind holdover Elysium)—a dismal debut for this failing franchise. The original flick made $19.8 million in its opening week in 2010, which at the time was also considered rather underwhelming. Undeterred, a sequel was spun and did even worse. If anyone greenlights a Kick-A‑‑ 3, there may be cause for an intervention.
But even so, Kick-A‑‑ 2 still edged Disney's forgettably cute Planes (which earned $13.1 million for fifth place) and holds profanity-laced bragging rights over two other newcomers that fared even worse. Jobs, about Apple's near-legendary co-founder Steve Jobs, stumbled badly out of the gate, earning $6.7 million—the first real bomb Apple's had on its hands since the Newton. And the makers of Paranoia may feel as if the whole moviegoing public's out to get them: The corporate thriller made a meager $3.5 million.
Final figures update: 1. The Butler, $24.6 million; 2. We're the Millers, $18 million; 3. Elysium, $13.7 million; 4. Planes, $13.4 million; 5. Kick-A– 2, $13.3 million.

Signs and Wonders: Outrageous clothes and even more outrageous behavior
Not cool. I'm guessing that most regular readers of this column did not watch last night's Video Music Awards, commonly known as the VMAs. But the event has become a cultural touchstone, especially for America's youth. The only good news is that between the outrageous clothes and the outrageous behavior, it's possible that the VMAs have "jumped the shark" and become a parody of itself that more and more people will find not worth watching. Ratings for last night's show won't be out till later in the day, but last year's show drew 6 million viewers, about half the number of the year before.
Theatre as God. Julie Harris, one of the great actors of the 20th century, died of congestive heart failure at her West Chatham, Mass., home on Saturday. She was 87. Harris won five Tony Awards for best actress in a play. She was honored again with a sixth Tony, a special lifetime achievement award, in 2002. She also had juicy movie roles as co-star in East of Eden, in 1955, and Requiem for a Heavyweight, in 1962. Christian moviegoers may remember her as Corrie ten Boom's sister Betsie in the movie The Hiding Place. Betsie's faith in God was the centerpiece of that movie. Alas, Harris turned her art into her god. "The theater has been my church," the actress once said. "I don't hesitate to say that I found God in the theater."
Box office doldrums. The summer blahs continue at the box office. A weak weekend allowed Lee Daniels' The Butler to retain its first place position even though it brought in only $17 million. The raunchy, R-rated comedy We're The Millers came in second with $13.5 million. The good news for that movie, though it's bad news for the rest of us, is that it has so far grossed more than $90 million, against a $37 million budget. Those numbers virtually guarantee that such degrading fare will continue to mar our movie screens. The Conjuring, which got a boost from evangelical viewers, fell to 16th place and took in only $2 million this weekend, but that brought its total to almost $132 million, against a budget of just $20 million. That's box office success by any standard.
Well lived. I was struck this week by a story from Dayton, Ohio. A husband and wife, married for more than 65 years, died in a nursing home on the same day earlier this month. Harold Knapke had been in failing health, but according to the couple's daughter, he did not want to die and leave his wife Ruth alone. He finally succumbed on Aug. 11, and Ruth died 11 hours later. They had a joint funeral Mass, with granddaughters carrying Ruth's casket and grandsons carrying Harold's casket. The cemetery procession stopped at the farm house where the couple raised six children. The current owners surprised the family by flying a flag at half-staff.

"If you're mindful of your body and how you take care of it, then it should last you a long time," said Shelly Toth, YMCA's fitness director. "It's the only body that you'll ever have."
Team Lean begins in Valdosta Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Participants have until January 13 to weigh in and be entered into the competition.
Team Lean is sponsored by South Georgia Medical Center, Smith Northview Hospital and Pepsi.

Well answering the topic...
I dont think there was a water type pokemon I actually disliked till 5th gen(only one). Theres some I feel indifferent to but none I disliked. That was until I saw Simipour. Idk, its design seems kinda uncreative in a way...I may be biased tho due to how they aesthetically genderlocked it to female. Yea...both Simipour and simisear. Simisage(my monkey) looks awesome tho :3 with its rockstar pose.
Previous Topic...
I've been itching to use/start training my event keldeo. I didnt want to use him in my b2 team cuz hes a legendary and his EVs would get messed up if I did. Thus I'll start EV training him soon to be the ferocious swordsman he was made to be.

So far in 2010 the Cleveland Brown quarterbacks have been hit hard by the dreaded high ankle sprain. They've been hit so hard that rookie Colt McCoy might be forced into action this weekend against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Derek Anderson suffered a high ankle sprain in the teams season opener, which forced the Browns to start Seneca Wallace. Wallace has actually performed well in the starter role, but he has been doomed to the same fate as his predecessor. Wallace suffered his injury in the closing moments of the first half when Atlanta Falcons defensive end John Abraham sacked him.
So that's two quarterbacks down and on to McCoy the Browns went for the second half, right? Wrong.
Instead of going to the rookie, Eric "Mangenius" Mangini decided to force his initial starter Anderson back into service. Anderson was no where close to being able to return, so much so that he need a pain killing injection prior to the game to be ready. So once he was needed, Eric thrust him into action, ready or not.
What happened then? Derek was a sitting duck and got banged up even more. Anderson now has a high and low ankle sprain which should keep him out of action for a while.
So with both of them out of action, you'd expect McCoy to play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers right? Wrong, again. Tony Grossi, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, reports that Wallace is under going an aggressive rehabilitation program to get him ready for action.
I'm guessing it won't work and Wallace will be another sitting duck out there, much like Anderson was. If the Browns really had a program that could cure a high ankle sprain so fast then how come Anderson has been out almost the whole season? It's because they don't.
If the pain is too severe for Wallace, they'll have no choice and the question becomes who does Mangini bring in? There's plenty of speculation that QB would be Brett Ratliff whose sitting on the New England Patriots practice squad.
Don't get me wrong thou, Mangini will just do whatever he has to so he doesn't have to go with McCoy next week. There's no chance he wants to go into the weekend with a rookie at QB. With his ego you know he really wants to stick it to the Steelers the week Big Ben returns.

In a season where wins were hard to come by, the Riverhead Tomcats closed out their 2015 season on a winning note Saturday. (more…)

Eddie Haus posed for a picture alongside Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League president Brett Mauser when a woman came rushing toward the field, camera in hand.
Haus, an outfielder for the Shelter Island Bucks, turned and smiled wide as the woman steadied her camera for a shot of her own.
It was his mother. (more…)
The stars will come out on Wednesday night. Prominent among them will be members of the North Fork Ospreys and the Riverhead Tomcats.
Ten Ospreys and nine Tomcats were named to play in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League All-Star Game at Baseball Heaven in Yaphank on Wednesday night. Those Ospreys and Tomcats will be joined by representatives of the Shelter Island Bucks on the North team that will play the South, which will have players from the Montauk Mustangs, the Sag Harbor Whalers, the Southampton Breakers and the Westhampton Aviators. (more…)
On days like Saturday, the Riverhead Tomcats must wish there was something like a baseball bank. Need a run, take a run. Need a hit, take a hit. Just tuck away any excess offense you may have to your credit and save it for a rainy day, so to speak.
It would have come in handy for the Tomcats, who banged out 22 hits (including four each by Nate Soria and Hunter Dolshun) in a 14-5 defeat of the Montauk Mustangs on Friday. Had they been able to carry over some of those hits and runs to Saturday's game against the Shelter Island Bucks, it might have made a difference. As it was, the Bucks showed why they hold first place in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League and the hard-luck Tomcats came up short, 9-5, at Veterans Memorial Park in Calverton. (more…)
The players on the 2014 Shoreham-Wading River High School baseball team were a close bunch. "The closest team I've ever been a part of," said catcher Jack Massa.
Massa said he still sees former Wildcats teammates and spends time with them when he is home from college. He even crosses paths with one of them, Tyler Osik, on the baseball diamond. (more…)
It seemed hard to believe afterward, looking at the scoreboard at Aviator Field in Westhampton, but for six tight innings, the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League game had been a classic pitching duel.
And then the wheels came flying off, sending the Riverhead Tomcats tumbling to defeat.
That's baseball for you. (more…)
Jake Reinhardt, a pitcher, had not played a baseball game in about a year. That's a long time without baseball for a baseball player.
Then, when the time he had long waited for — the chance to finally play in a game again — had arrived, he was put at, would you believe it, first base. (more…)

Fringe Fest's youngest dramatist
Annika Patton and friend Emily Ann Laliotis wrote, directed and produced "Firsts," an original musical for the San Diego International Fringe Festival
The San Diego International Fringe Festival is underway, showcasing new voices in theater and the performing arts through July 13.
And this year's youngest participants are San Diego's Annika Patton, 16, and Emily Ann Laliotis, 18. Together they created an original musical about young love called "Firsts."
The show opens at 8 tonight at the Fifth Floor Arts Incubator at Spreckels Theatre. It continues at 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday and 6:30 and 8 p.m. Wednesday. (Tickets.)
Patton, a Carlsbad resident who is going into her junior year at Canyon Crest Academy (CCA), tells us about her new role as a producer, director and creator.
Q: When did you first become interested in theater?
A: I discovered that I really liked being on stage when cast in a second-grade play. Soon after, my mom enrolled me in a theater camp at the La Jolla Playhouse. But after attending it for three summers, I decided I wanted to focus on sports. It wasn't until my freshman year, when a friend convinced me to try out for a play, that I rediscovered my passion for theater.
Q: Tell us about your musical, "Firsts."
A: It's about family bonds and young love. Emily and I composed the music together over the course of a year. The cast, crew and musicians are all current or newly graduated CCA students. Jason Maddy, our "guardian angel," who has guest directed at CCA, agreed to be our advising director and has guided us through the staging and directing process.
Q: How did you and Emily first become a producing team?
A: Emily and I met during the show "Eurydice" in the spring of 2013. I acted in the production while Emily composed, designed and directed the original musical score. At the end of the run, I asked her if she would be interested "consulting" on a musical idea I had been tossing around. We met up the first week of that summer and began writing much of the music you will hear in the show. She has such a talent for creating music that not only moves the plot along, but can deeply move people's emotions.
Q: How is the work divided between the two of you?
A: I think we have a really great working dynamic because we are very different people. One of our cast members, Jerrin Padre, described me as the sophomore year version of Emily, who is now graduated and will soon be off to the University of Puget Sound. I have way too much energy, and Emily is very mellow now. We wrote all of the music together, or if we wrote on our own, we finished it when we had a chance to meet.
Q: How did you come up with the idea for "Firsts?"
A: Believe it or not, this story was originally about marriage counseling for a group of middle-aged couples. We wrote most of the music for that, but by January, having taken a break from writing, we knew that it was not relatable to us, and we felt stalled in the process. So one night, as I was listening to the soundtrack of the musical "Spring Awakening," pondering my nonexistent love life, I thought about how maybe Emily and I could write a musical about young love. And suddenly Tom and Christie, a young married couple in the original plot, became Christie and Wes, two 16-year-olds falling in love for the first time. Strangely enough, the music slid into place with the new plot. That just goes to show how love is universal, no matter the age.

We have removed the new flooring, installed in 1950, from the floor of our home to expose the original hardwood floor that was built in 1834.
The original hardwood floor is made from many types of wood and the boards range in width from 3 inches to 9+ inches.
The problem we face is that while some of the tongue-n-groove placements are flush, many have gaps between 1/16th inch to 1/4th inch.
Does anyone have advice as to how to fill in these gaps?
This old home, our children are 4th generation of our family to live in this home, does have some small historical significance.
One of the Zane brothers, of the pioneering Zane family, used to stay at this home when it was an inn.

A farm ministry white paper on agriculture issued a strong warning Friday over an expected tightening of the supply-demand balance in the world food market, saying Japan may be significantly affected due to its low food self-sufficiency.
The fiscal 2007 white paper said the food situation for Japanese households is seeing "unprecedented changes."
If food imports become impossible, households will be unable to secure sufficient food, the report says, noting Japan's food self-sufficiency rate has fallen below 40 percent on a calorie basis.
It cites population growth in developing countries, rising demand for biofuels and farm crop decline due to irregular weather as well as record-breaking wheat, corn and other commodities prices.
It says world grain stockpiles have now declined to levels seen in the early 1970s, a period when the idea of a food crisis became a pressing world issue.
In view of the worldwide grain crunch, more than 10 food-exporting counties, including Russia, China and Vietnam, have restricted exports of rice, wheat and other commodities to prevent their own food sufficiency from declining, which could put Japan in a bind.
In addition, the paper says food-exporting countries are stepping up efforts to grow genetically modified farm products, making it harder for Japan to secure food products with no gene modification.
Japan depends too much on imports from a handful of countries for food, it says, noting that five countries, including the United States, China and Australia, together account for more than 70 percent of Japan's total farm imports.
Under these circumstances, the report stresses that it is necessary to increase the consumption of domestically produced food while calling for the public to review its eating habits, including consuming food wastefully.
Even if farm imports decline to nothing, households can secure minimum amounts of calories by switching mainstay domestic food production from meat and vegetables to potatoes, the report says, noting this will lead to a dramatic change in what is served.

Continental Mountain King II 29er ProTection Tire
The MKII ProTection version takes the evolution of the Mountain King to a new level. Not only is the tread redesigned and ready for action, but Black Chili compound and a hardcore, but lightweight compound create a layer of puncture resistance to reduce flats.
Threads Per Inch
Black Chili Compound
I've been running these tires for over 5 years and like them a lot. Check out my YouTube Channel under Goochmonster Videos. I do a lot of riding, especially on rocky terrain of varying difficulty, and go through two pairs a year. They're good for many different types of conditions, and are generally a very good all-around tire for Arizona conditions, but the consistency of the product has varied from time to time; some manufacturing runs have produced tires which were tighter than normal, when being put onto the rim, while other batches had issues with knobs breaking off. In defense of Continental, a couple tires which had knob issues were replaced by our local sales rep. This is a great, all-around tire, light enough in weight to race, and a design that holds well when cornering hard; add in their ability to hug steep angle sideways and you've got a high-performance tire. The sidewalls will fray over time, and look unsightly, but it doesn't seem to effect their performance.
Great tire and they are tubeless ready. Been running my tires tubless since I got them and love them.
Great tire that sticks in the slickest of conditions. Rolls smoothly, but sticks where it needs to. Best tire I've ever used.
I have run this as a front and a rear tire. I ride mostly trail in new england and have decided its a good 4 star front tire but its a better rear tire. It grips in th corners but doesnt quite have the side knobs to really dig in when you really lay it down. As a rear tire ti locks up on everything. Absolutely everything. Its also lighter weight but not as light as one may want a rear tire. I will most likely continue to run this as a rear tire.
I have been running there tires for about 2 months now, and haven't had any flats. The stiffer sidewall of the Protection tire lets me run these at 24/27 PSI Front/Rear without worrying about pinch flats, even at 200 lbs. Being able to run the lower pressure with the aggressive tread pattern, makes powering up the wet roots and rocks, and loose wet muddy terrain here in the northeast possible. My OLD stock XC tires would just spin going uphill, and wash out in the corners.
Okay like I said in my first review I would report my thoughts on how these tires performed on the trails. Okay so since the last review these tire have seen over 20 miles of volcanic rock and all that the souther AZ desert has to offer. I can say that these tire performed as I hoped they would. Just FYI that my set up is with tubes and I finally got to enjoy them 20 miles without having to change a tube. The tread also held up and they handled the comers well along with climbing which was a breeze with these tires. All in all these tire are great and have delivered like promised. Thanks Continental Tires.
Okay MTBers these here tires seem to be the real deal for a great price. I just received them and I used standard shipping and wow them came fast. I did a lot of research before replacing my stock WTB racing NANO's that my 29er hard tail came with. Which by the way aren't great on rocky trails and cornering. Trust me I know because I had to pull prickly pear cacti out my quads after going into a corner to fast. Anyways I haven't taken them out for a test ride yet but feel confident just by the look of these that I will kill some trial. In a good way of course. HAHAHA! So yeah also theses tires are HANDMADE in Germany by the way which is a cool. Anyways peps I will make sure to post another review as soon as I hit the first trail with theses new ProTection Tires. Oh and yeah by the way they say ProTection on both side walls along with Mountain King on the both side walls. Really a great looking tire.
My bike originally came with Racing Ralphs which, although are very lightweight, proved to be very un-durable. After destroying those within about 2 months I replaced them with the Mountain King II with the ProTection. I have been riding these going on about a year now and haven't even had one puncture. This is pretty impressive considering some of the popular trail areas around Fort Worth have glass and all sorts of other tire threatening debris around. If you hate your ride getting interrupted with flat tires, I would highly recommend these!
I have been running the 26" 2.4 version of this tire on my hard tail bike during the last 3 months and have been very happy with the grip and slow wear. These are perfect tires to run in races in Georgia on courses that are not too muddy. They do very well on hardpack, asphalt, light muck/mud, and rooty/rocky stretches. They have very long wear especially when compared to my Schwalbe tires. If you get this tire and run tubeless like me, you need to get the ProTection with Black Chilli compound. The version without ProTection has very thin sidewalls like a set of Rocket Rons I used last year. These tire (2.4 versions) have very little roll when leaning in and inspire real confidence (for me at least). I am not sure why there are not more reviews on this tire as they have been very good in the conditions that I ride in here in Georgia and have long wear.
