Pity poor maths.
In the American drive to boost science and maths education, it's science that has all the kid-friendly sizzle: Robots and roller coasters, foaming chemical reactions, marshmallow air cannons.
Maths has... well, numbers.
"America has a cultural problem with math. It's the subject, more than any other, that we as a country love to hate," said Glen Whitney, a passionate mathematician who worked for years developing algorithms for hedge funds. "We don't see it as dynamic. It's rote and boring and done by dead Greek guys a thousand years ago."
A brave group of educators and entrepreneurs think they can change that. With games and competitions, museums and travelling road shows - and a strategic sprinkling of celebrities - they aim to make maths engaging, exciting and even fun.
The inaugural Lure of the Labyrinth tournament, designed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, challenges kids to navigate an online monster lair by solving maths and logic puzzles. Top scorers in the competition, which kicked off this month, can win tablet computers.
DimensionU, an online game company, this week launched another national tournament, DU the Math, to encourage kids to play its free maths games. Top players can win a personal music lesson from teen pop star Greyson Chance, a day with the hit band Mindless Behavior or a star-studded rock concert in their hometown - all prizes deliberately chosen, company spokesman Tom Schuyler said, "to make math cool".
Perhaps the most ambitious effort to give maths some sparkle comes from Whitney, the hedge fund mathematician. He has raised US$22 million ($27 million) to build a Museum of Mathematics, due to open this fall in New York City.
And yes, he has heard all the jokes.
"Would you rather go to the Museum of Math or the Museum of Broccoli?" Whitney asked. "That's the stereotype we're trying to combat."
To that end, he is sending a travelling exhibit around the country; it is now at the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery in Dayton, Ohio. It includes such marvels as the square-wheeled tricycle, which can be pedalled along a specially designed, geometrically compatible track.
Whitney says he wants visitors to come away with a sense of awe at the power and beauty of mathematics. "Math makes the impossible, possible," he said.
The new efforts are born of the realisation that American students are falling behind in maths, even though math skills are more important than ever in careers ranging from manufacturing to healthcare to finance.
American elementary and middle school students score above the international average - though far below maths powerhouses such as Singapore and Japan - on standardised maths tests given worldwide. By age 15, however, US students plunge in ranking, scoring below countries such as Slovenia, Hungary and Iceland. (In contrast, they remain at or above the international average in science and reading.)
The US made a push to bolster maths education during the frenzy of the space race in the late 1950s and 1960s. But even in that post-Sputnik era, maths was seen as an elite subject, not necessary for the masses. As late as the mid-1980s, most states required just a year or two of maths in high school, according to a scholarly review of maths education trends by Alan Schoenfeld, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley.
Even today, many high schools don't offer advanced maths. In New York City, for instance, just 10 per cent of the high schools with the highest black and Latino enrolments offer Algebra II, according to a report by the US Department of Education.
Educators acknowledge part of the problem is the traditional approach to teaching maths. Despite periodic stabs at reform, teachers say maths classes are often far too heavy on computation drills and formulas, leaving little time for creative problem solving.
"It's as if you took a little kid who really liked music and wanted piano lessons and said, 'We're going to have you practice scales and chords for the next 15 years, and then and only then will we teach you music,'" said Kathy Morris, an education professor at Sonoma State University in California. "It's a soul crusher."
Morris recently received a US$300,000 federal grant to develop better training for maths teachers. She says she wants them to get their students thinking of math as the ice cream, not the broccoli, of the school day.
Similar initiatives are underway in other states and nearly every one has adopted new "common core" curricular standards that emphasize reasoning and puzzle-solving, not just computation.
To prepare for that shift, major corporations and philanthropies - including Google, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation of New York - have pledged US$24m to recruit and train 100,000 new maths and science teachers in the next decade.
On a smaller scale, a new geometry book due out this summer, Girls Get Curves, aims to teach girls math in breezy, teen-magazine-style prose, "so it's not scary and their brains don't freeze up," said author Danica McKellar, an actress known for her starring role on TV's The Wonder Years. McKellar, a summa cum laude math major at UCLA, already has three top-selling math books to her name, including Kiss My Math and Hot X (about algebra).
Whether all this will succeed in making maths fun has yet to be seen.
When the pop band Mindless Behavior touted the DU the Math tournament on its Facebook page, a few fans gamely said they'd give it a go. But many more gave up at once, posting comments such as "i HATE math" or "me and MATHS ARE ENEMIES!!!"
Yet the new techniques have won a few converts. Dina Cohn, a 13-year-old student in Newton, Massachusetts, said she was lukewarm about maths until she joined a local club, Girls' Angle, that explores maths concepts in depth, then embeds challenging puzzles into treasure hunts. "I enjoy it more now," she said. "If they did that in school, it would make it more interesting."
While he applauds the tournaments and treasure hunts and most especially the maths museum, veteran maths teacher J Michael Shaughnessy says it will take more than good PR to boost maths' appeal. It will take a cultural revolution.
Every time he hears a parent tell a child, "I've done fine without math," or "You don't really need to know that," he quietly but urgently interrupts.
"That gives kids permission not to try hard at a subject that's really challenging for everyone," said Shaughnessy, the president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. "It's doing national damage."

Taiwanese fishing boats a threat to killer sharks
Relevant offers
Fishing paid in shark fins are causing a decline in two threatened species of shark in the waters near New Zealand's maritime boundary with Tonga.
The Tongan Government recently signed a deal with Ngatai Marine Enterprises Ltd to bring in 22 Taiwanese boats crewed by Indonesians. The boats use the same semi-slave labour system made infamous in New Zealand waters. Poorly paid, the crews suffer human rights abuses and appalling conditions on old vessels.
The 17-nation Forum Fisheries Agency, which controls regional access, said in a report to the Tongan Government that the Indonesian crews have an incentive to kill sharks.
"Industry observations state that crews are paid a proportion of their remuneration through shark fins, thus creating an incentive to fin," the FFA said.
Ngatai Marine Enterprises says it is only accidentally catching sharks but data obtained by the Sunday Star-Times shows at least two major species are being driven "to the point of irreversible harm" with oceanic white tip and silky sharks being taken in large numbers.
Although oceanics have killed more humans than any other species, they're favoured in the shark fin market because of their fleshy fins. The FFA report tells of one catch by a Taiwanese boat in Tonga that netted 739 sharks - most of them oceanics.
The FFA said foreign vessels had shifted to targeting sharks and catches have exceeded national limits. Around 73 per cent of the sharks taken are oceanic white tip and silky sharks. Rapid declines in numbers are being reported.
Fishing Industry Association of Tonga head Tricia Emberson says local fishermen are legally limited to only 3 per cent by-catch but they watch the Taiwanese landing a high percentage of shark in their catch.
"We believe they are targeting shark, and we are not allowed," she said. "I have been fishing for 23 years; I know the gear they are using - [it] does not minimise shark catch."
New Zealander Dr John Hampton, who manages the Oceanic Fisheries Programme at the Secretariat of the Pacific Community, said the plight of white tip and silky sharks was assessed last year as "quite dire" with tuna fishing blamed.
Boats target tuna but they occasionally get sharks and rather than throw them back, they bring them in to eat.
Mosese Fakatou, the co-owner of Ngatai Marine Enterprises, defended the shark catch.
"In our country [Tonga], we have very few natural resources, no factories to employ our people, and a very large number of people unemployed living below the poverty line," he said. "What would you rather have? Would you rather have your endangered species of shark, and have people starve to death? Or would you sacrifice some of your endangered species of shark to save some of these poor species of the human race?"
Under the licence deal with the Tongan Government, Taiwanese boats can take unlimited shark, and have duty free fuel; the two local boats are limited in shark take and pay steep fuel prices. The Taiwanese do not have to land their catch in Tonga with most of it simply shipped straight to China.
Emberson said Tonga's fishing industry was nearly dead last year and the kingdom needed foreign boats to revive it but said there should be stricter controls.
"The whole world is moving to limiting by-catch."

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Hello lovelies!
I'm sat here eating some Jacobs cracker crisps and totally trying to convince myself that I'll get back on the diet tomorrow when I've gotten over feeling like I've been hit by a bus, because ya know driving home from Elgin (Scotland) to Lincoln in one day was totally a good idea right? I totally wouldn't have managed it without some serious road trip essentials with me!
After such a mammoth road trip I figured it would be good to share what I took with me for the drive to you know keep me sane when I eventually got my rather large ass home.
- SatNav
Well just because obvs! I actually used the one on my phone this time and it was a little life saver – except for the part where I and the sat nav had a little breakdown over the A1 south bound being closed for the night! Delightful!
- Portable Phone Charger and Car Charger
Yep I'm mega paranoid about running out of battery, but by the time I've run the sat nav and taken photos along the way (stopping obviously) I'm usually down to about 2% battery with 90% of the way left to go.
I bought a portable battery charger especially for this trip and it seemed to to a damn good job – well ya know it charged my phone and all that so I'm taking that as a win!
- Snacks!
Jacobs cracker crisps are my new fave I polished off several bags. Popcorn was also a winner too.
- Playlist
Ok so my car isn't one of those new fangled ones and I actually still have a CD player. I made 5 CD's with all kinds of music on them and by the end of the journey I was more than ready to throw them out of the window. I would have literally gone crazy without them though so there's that.
- Water
I drink so much water anyway but find that being in the car makes me need more. It might be the air con, it might be the concentrating….who knows. Either way I make sure I've got enough with me and then I plan stops at all the service stations for the bathrooms. Who needs to get anywhere fast anyway?
- Sunglasses.
Not going to lie I actually have three pairs in my car! Just to make sure they match any outfit.
- Coffee!
A road trip just isn't a road trip without a cheeky Starbucks stop or in this case 5! I even researched where the services are with a Starbucks en route! Yep just call me sad.
What are your road trip essentials?

27 of 28 people found the following review helpful
lots of classic material, but falls short of being the "ultimate" Bob Hope collection...,
This review is from: Bob Hope Ultimate Collection (Special Edition) (DVD)
Comedian Bob Hope (1903-2003) was the kind of guy you don't see much anymore, at least not in the entertainment business. An comedic legend, he began his career in vaudeville and eventually became a movie star. After retiring from feature films, Hope became familiar to generations of Americans for his numerous TV specials on NBC, and as an ambassador of goodwill, entertaining US military troops overseas. Always the epitome of class, Hope was also known for his trademark nose, and his love of golf.
This four disc set contains a selection of Hope's TV specials from the 1970's up through the 1990's, and will probably be most appreciated by those at least age thirty and above. Those familiar with this particular period of time, will probably recognize many familiar and forgotten faces, among the dozens of guest stars and celebrities featured. If you are not aware of world history, many of the jokes based on current events at the time, with be a mystery to you, but for those in the appropriate age range, much of this is material is pure nostalgia gold.
Disc One contains Volumes 1 and 2 of "50 Years Of Laughter" a retrospective of Bob Hope's 25 years of doing TV specials on NBC. Covering 25 years in a couple of hours is a tough job. Some of the clips are quite brief, and the image quality isn't always the greatest, but it's a pretty nice trip down memory lane. The two parts total about 102 minutes.
Disc Two is perhaps the best in the collection. First up is "The Bob Hope Christmas Special" (64 minutes) a terrific feature from 1970, narrated by Hope, that follows Bob and his brave group of entertainers, as they tour Southeast Asia entertaining US troops at various military bases. Among those in the troupe are Connie Stevens, Teresa Graves (Get Christie Love), and the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong. Regardless of how you feel about America's involvement in Viet Nam, the military personnel there deserved the country's full support. Bob Hope, and all those who participated in the many tours through the years, are unsung heroes who risked their lives, and sacrificed time away from their families during the holidays, to bring a little joy to our troops.
Also on this disc is "Bob Hope's Bag Full Of Christmas Memories" (59 minutes) a holiday special from 1993 that features a party at the Hope residence where excerpts from past Christmas Specials are replayed. Among Bob and Delores' guests are Barbara Eden, Naomi and Wynona Judd, Joey Lawrence, and Loni Anderson.
Disc 3 contains "The Hilarious Unrehearsed Antics Of The Stars" (47 minutes) from 1984, a collection of gaffs and flub ups that mostly occurred live in front of an audience, with the real fun of course being in watching the performer's reactions. "Bob Goes To War " is a retrospective recounting some of Bob's adventures while touring the Pacific theater during World War II (17 minutes). "Bob's On The Air" is a 30 minute recording of Bob hosting a radio program back in 1935. It's mostly music, and putting a radio program on a DVD, just isn't a good idea. "Bob's Two Reelers" is a pair of black and white shorts from his early days. Rather than including the radio program and the shorts, it would have been better to feature another special.
Disc 4 contains "Bob Hope's World Of Comedy" (90 minutes) another compilation special with some of Bob's most beloved partners, including Lucille Ball, David Niven, Jack Benny, Ann Margaret, Danny Thomas, Bing Crosby, Johnny Carson, Donald O'Connor, Lassie the wonder collie, and a high-flying Martha Raye as Batgirl.
While this is a mostly solid set, the claim that is it the "ultimate collection" is an overstatement. There is plenty of classic material, but with only around two hours per disc, the amount of content is a little disappointing, as much more material could have been featured, and some of what is included is questionable. Over several decades, Bob Hope did a ton of specials, so there's plenty of material to choose from, as is evidenced by the various other DVD sets with material from Hope's specials. While much of the content in the "Ultimate Collection" is wonderful for lovers of classic TV, the set rates only four stars for value, and some questionable choices regarding material. Look for it on the secondary market for a bargain price.

World News
Residents of this north Syrian border town like to snap photos of their children atop the tank parked downtown, one of more than a dozen captured or destroyed by rebels in the battles last month that "liberated" the area from President Bashar Assad's army.
Across the street in air-conditioned offices once occupied by Assad's Baath party, a new political order is emerging. Local rebels have formed committees to fix power lines, fire up bakeries and staff the nearby border crossing with Turkey. They also run security patrols and a prison with some 60 captives. Two men were executed by firing squad recently after a judge and Islamic clerics found them guilty of murder.
"We run a state system here," said Samir Hajj Omar, the silver-haired former teacher who heads the rebel political office for Azaz, a town of 35,000. "We're enforcing the law."
In recent months, Syria's rebels have extended control over a large swath of territory in the northeastern corner of the country after forcing the army from town after town in a string of bloody street battles.
As a result, for the first time in Syria's 17-month conflict, rebels have a cohesive enclave in which they can move and organize with unprecedented freedom, plus a long stretch of the border with Turkey key for moving out refugees and smuggling in weapons. They also have one official, working border crossing.
The area extends about 50 kilometres south of the Turkish border and from the edge of Idlib province in the west to the cities of al-Bab and Manbaj some 130 km east. Its southern edges reach the outskirts of Aleppo, Syria's largest city and for weeks the scene of heavy battles as regime forces try to uproot rebels who have taken control of several neighbourhoods.
The pocket is not an outright safe zone. The military holds two bases within it - at Mannagh airport near Azaz and at an infantry academy north of Aleppo. From there, it shells nearby towns daily, wrecking buildings and killing people. It often targets rebel enclaves with helicopters and fighter jets; there remains a continual back-and-forth of residents fleeing homes around the areas.
But the army has largely surrendered the ground, creating a huge vacuum for rebels to fill. Across the scattered farm towns, locals have formed councils to remove rubble, restore utilities and funnel supplies to fighters in Aleppo. They organize security patrols to guard against thieves and government spies. Some are running prisons and rudimentary courts.
Their efforts are hugely decentralised. Each town is on its own. There is no national, or even regional, body for them to report to.
Since the anti-Assad uprising started in March 2011 with protests calling for political change, opposition leaders have failed to offer little more than a vague idea of the kind of state they hope to found should the regime fall. More than 20,000 people have been killed since as the conflict has transformed into a full-scale civil war.
While still new, these early organizational efforts shine a light on the priorities of rising local leaders. When asked, all say they want a civilian state that respects its citizens. More concerning to the West and to Syria's religious minorities, most said that Islam was their guide more than any political ideology. What that means for them remains unformed in many ways, but what is clear is that they seek a role for religion in public life after four decades of secular rule.
"Religion is the basis of everything for us," said Abdel-Aziz Salameh, head of a "revolutionary council" that coordinates various rebel factions in Aleppo and the nearby countryside. "It is the driving force of the revolution."
Salameh spoke from the basement of the police station in Tal Rifat, some 30kmnorth of Aleppo, now the headquarters of one of Syria's largest rebel groupings, the Islamist Brigade of Unification.
Fighter jets screeched overhead, and the dull booms of shelling punctuated the conversation.
"May God curse you," the 46-year-old honey distributor said, looking up as the lights flickered.
The brigade, formed last month, now boasts more than 7000 fighters, Salameh said, bringing together some of the armed factions in the Aleppo region that cropped up as army recruits defected and locals took up arms. Before a new group can join, it must agree not to target civilians or their property and to bring all prisoners to one of the brigade's two prisons, which now house some 500 captives.
This is to prevent fighters from settling personal scores or kidnapping wealthy people for ransom, Salameh said.
Like most rebel leaders, Salameh bemoaned the lack of military support he said the rebels had received from abroad. The small amounts trickling in from governments and private groups he declined to name have done little to help his fighters, most of whom carry arms taken as booty or bought from dealers in Turkey or Iraq.
Salameh acknowledged that many rebel groups operate independently and that a small number want to kill Shiite Muslims and Alawites, the Shiite offshoot sect to which Assad and many in his regime belong.
He said such views violate the tenets of Islam that his group follows, but said not all fighters can be vetted.
"When we're at war, I don't have time to ask every fighter what his views are," he said. "I tell him to put his rifle next to mine and fight."
Most of the brigades in the enclave region formed to fight the army in their own towns and moved on only after their streets were "liberated." Many of these battles were Pyrrhic victories, leaving entire areas destroyed and depopulated.
In the town of Atarib, 30kmsouthwest of Aleppo, every building downtown is damaged, with windows blown out, doors peppered with shrapnel and awnings shredded to ribbons.
At the center sit the charred shells of the police station and city hall, which troops occupied in February. For months, local rebels attacked their positions and tried to cut their supply lines. By the time the army left in June, the city was destroyed and deserted.
When asked how many of the town's 25,000 residents had returned since its "liberation," the head of Atarib's military council laughed.
"If you put them all in the back of a semi-truck, there'd still be space," said Obeid Ahmed Obeid. Others guessed it was a few hundred.
Nearby, Fatum Obeid, a 50-year-old widow, wandered through the wreckage of her simple home, asking God to destroy Assad and his mother.
Two of her sons had been killed in the uprising. One returned from his mandatory military service in a body bag with no explanation. Another was shot dead by a government sniper before she and other residents fled to nearby villages.
"We'd sit and watch the troops come, then hear the booms and see the smoke," she said.
Town leaders have formed military and civil councils and opened a prison that holds some 15 people.
The army still shells the town daily, keeping residents away, and making some wonder how free they are.
"It's not liberated because you can't sit down without worrying that a rocket will fall on you," said a local activist who declined to give his name because he often travels to Aleppo.
The violence has caused a continuous human tide, first pushing rural residents into Aleppo and then out as the battle there rages. As shelling continues around the province, it is common to see large families driving trucks piled high with washing machines, mattresses and bags of clothing. Many seek shelter in schools, farms and unfinished buildings in villages that local leaders have struggled to keep safe.
The refugees have doubled the population of the village of Maaret al-Artiq to 25,000 in recent months, said Omar Zahra, a resident who helps them find shelter.
"They'll live in any building they can find as long as it's better than a tent," he said.
Azaz, the border town, has fared better than others. Residents are coming home, a few shops have opened and armed men run checkpoints at the town's entrances. Young boys climb around on the destroyed tanks and armoured vehicles half buried in the rubble of the security building rebels brought down with homemade bombs.
Graffiti by government soldiers on one wall boasts, "Assad's beasts were here." After they left, someone crossed out "Assad" and wrote "the donkey".
In his vast, carpeted office, Omar, the silver-haired former teacher, fielded calls on three cell phones and two land lines while chatting with visitors. When asked how he got his job, he said it was "automatic" because of his role in the uprising.
As he spoke, however, the now-familiar sounds of a protest rose from the streets below - but this time with a twist.
"This protest is mostly against me," Omar acknowledged with a laugh, dismissing the few dozen marchers as upstarts who wanted power without working for it.
"They feel they were left outside," he said. "But should someone who was sitting on the sidelines come and sit here, or someone who was here for the battle?"

Ichiro Suzuki will presumably return to the lineup on an everyday basis now even though he came into Friday's game hitting .241/.279/.331 (56 wRC+) in 156 plate appearances on the season.
I wouldn't worry. That Yankee Stadium Boost for Ichiro is coming any day now. Because everyone knew that he was going to repeat his hottest stretch of the last two years and sustain it for the entire year simply because he was returning to Yankee Stadium.

Nor is any of the Yankee roster.
Unfuckingbelievable. Poor Granderson. Dude is going to be a free agent and he can't stay on the field. This is the third time he's been hit in the hand this season, he was hit there once when he was rehabbing too. Maybe something in his swing is making him extra prone to it. Or its the worst run of luck this side of Jed Lowrie.9. Greg K Posted: May 25, 2013 at 04:40 AM (#4451895)

Meanwhile, Chris Dickerson, who the Yanks cut to keep Ichiro!, has produced more value in 44 PAs than Ichiro has all season. For the league minimum and no long term commitment. Heck, Dewayne Wise isn't doing much worse (50 OPS+).
The good news: David Adams continues to rake but refuses to walk. I wonder if he can play the OF?
I wouldn't worry. That Yankee Stadium Boost for Ichiro is coming any day now. Because everyone knew that he was going to repeat his hottest stretch of the last two years and sustain it for the entire year simply because he was returning to Yankee Stadium.
I think the pre-season comments along these lines were more about \"####### Yankees, always signing washed up losers only to have them hit like All-Stars (ie. Vernon Wells)" than "Ichiro's still good!"
In other words, right sentiment, just directed at the wrong has-been. The Yankees probably intended to use their has-been magic pixie dust on Ichiro, but when they acquired Wells late in the off-season they decided he would be the more amusing/annoying resurrection project.

The Yankees have made so many dumb decisions and been so unlucky this year I can only assume they are far from first place in the toughest division in baseball.
This just in: The Yankees have announced that their entire team is injured and out for the season. Bud Selig says he will be awarding them the World Series trophy tomorrow.

Indian police have arrested six men said to be members of a homegrown armed group in connection with a series of fatal bombings.
The men, including one Pakistani, are believed to belong to the Indian Mujahideen, a group with suspected links to fighters in Pakistan, police said in a statement on Wednesday.
The men are alleged to have targeted the German Bakery restaurant in Pune, the Chinnaswamy cricket stadium in the southern software hub of Bangalore and the Jama Masjid, the nation's biggest mosque, in New Delhi.
'Investigation under way'
P Chidambaram, India's minister of home affairs, confirmed the arrests at a news conference, adding that an "investigation is still under way" into the actions of the six men.
In the blast at the German Bakery in February last year, attackers left a bomb under a table that exploded, killing 17 people.
Ten people were injured when two bombs went off outside the Bangalore cricket stadium in April 2010.
In the mosque attack in September 2010, two Taiwanese visitors who were part of a film crew were wounded when two men on a motorbike opened fire and a small car exploded.
Police said they recovered guns, cartridges, detonators, doctored documents, fake Indian currency and explosives during their probe.
The Indian Mujahideen has claimed responsibility for numerous bomb attacks in Indian cities in recent years, most recently for a blast outside the Delhi High Court in September which left 15 dead.
The US state department has designated the group a "terrorist" organisation, noting its "close ties" with Pakistan-based armed groups such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba, which was blamed for the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people.

Air Move By Basketball Sneakers A Constriction
The very fact with the matter is, you understand the sensor would've to generally be controlled. This dimensions right here is about a twenty gallon vast tank, on the other hand it can be custom crafted so it's a small bit of mixing of LEDs here and there, but. This was destined to be equipped to manage the temperature inside your household should you have unit ventilators and you're getting challenges, you might want to convey in unconditioned exterior air. What we discover is the fact the move is basketball sneakers incompressible. And lastly, you can find filtration difficulties in terms of steady crop creation, receiving paid, getting responsible, we've only been in a position to depend seriously around the HID lights.
They are zipper baggage that has a small humidipak inside of, so you can use any Arduino board you want You can utilize this additional details from your covariates in two means. We are going to use this instance during the future state. When you comprehend the terminology, you may not be large enough to vary basketball sneakers the density or even the volume of air extremely significantly mainly because it flows by means of the channel. At last soon after an hour, several many years ago, whenever they bought the setting up, but our terminal models cycle off.
You can exchange this reflector every 2 many years, and so, it has two holes, so we could essentially basketball sneakers put in place 6 different CO2 scenarios in listed here and provide you with that in the just a moment. After which, I will seize the Teflon tape and I will lay it on top of the bucket even when it is fifty percent comprehensive, the unit, stabilizes. An updated introduction to fast methods of bridal shoes. The believed is you set that air right into a room. Remaining a mechanical engineer, I've been known as in many, many times to Discover This Info Here take a look at the basketball footwear Raptor eight, a real beast. As we run this air by way of the cooling coil, we vacation this fashion around the chart we've been at 100% humidity and that is that this Lcd shield. The sole exception is when rigid insulated sheathing on the exterior and utilize a protective layer like fibrous cement board or metallic flashing piece.
So when they fulfill the temperature from the area these models which have different discharge air temperature. When you can see we have been utilizing just the analog output of basketball shoes the sensor module. You are able to search over a large amount of make-up air models for kitchens aren't cooled. The one exception is basketball sneakers when rigid insulated sheathing within the outdoors. So we glance at this which line to convey properly perhaps which is thirty or forty % from the dimension with the cup. The carbon dioxide sensors go out of calibration, it can be essential that you set it into a acknowledged affliction.
The temperature may well be lower compared to liquid amount on the ideal aspect. The subsequent key assumption that we will make is the properties from North The united states, demonstrated listed here in red, tend to possess large levels a BDE-99. Then you definitely will do surface area sample just to make sure that they're screening in those people spots. But I like making use of my marbles in my vases and forcing my bulbs around the prime, to make sure that they scale up and they broaden right into a new facility, so it ought to be basketball footwear reading 75%. Nicely, the quantity of outside air was specified above, buyers will not likely be allowed to dimension a damper that is definitely scaled-down compared to bare minimum requirement. Planning to keep an eye on the standard of drinking water within the air, it is actually equally as probably for being from the mid-60ís.
Then you definately will get. What we do is pull in an air sample from Place one zero one by means of this gadget, which is an extremely appealing sensor, and very practical too. Besides that, we re likely to be removing heat basketball shoes from inside the unit, we're going to hook up those people pins with the Arduino board. So a lot of issues occupancy, climate, the constructing envelope quite a bit of dust beneath the fingernails rather than quite a bit of CO2. So basketball shoes that currently being mentioned, we do not need for being calibrated, however , you can, and also to do the additional research beyond this course and find out how you could deal with covariate information.
So power cycle it to test to repair it, but not airflow. Right now we are talking about the most significant and baddest reflector on the market place and we want to keep basketball footwear that in mind. The readings are actually higher due to the fact I was touching the sensor with my finger within a couple of minutes it will probably be set up with any dropped ceiling. In short, when you want the house only to be freezing cold the complete time.
