Reviews for Zucchini Relish
"This is a terrific side dish to accompany picnic foods of almost any variety.Everyone loves it whenever I make it.Great dish for hot summer days."
"I have already made two batches and getting ready to make the third. I made the following changes: coarsely grated the veggies, substituted small diced fire roasted red peppers for fresh red pepper also added 1/2 tsp mustard seed. Used onion powder instead of salt. I shared this with my family, they all love it, in fact my youngest granddaughter Sydney ate a bowlful."
"Thanks savanna2 for the suggestions. I think I might try it on some broiled fish or chicken also."
"correction,thank you Nancy for sharing.The other response goes to tastdog1 on what to use the relish on. Sorry for the mix up, my computer went down and everything got scrambled."
"tastydog1, thank you for sharing this recipe with us. I have used yours on the side with potato salad, bratwurst, and italien sausage. It was delicious. Igrande99, yes there is a recipe in the Ball canning site, but slightly different and just a delicious as the one posted if you have an overload of zucchini and want to can it. We mostly use it on grilled Bratz or Sausage and i shred everything so it wont fall out of the bun. enjoy both"

Notch Polotmavý
Another hard to pronounce beer from Notch!
Our Notch Polotmavy is a brand new beer from us, and a limited release available in draft and 22 ounces bottles (specs and deets here). It's yet another style from the Czech Republic that gets very little exposure in the US, and is a wonderful alternative to the sweeter Oktoberfest lagers or spiced up pumpkin beers that hit this time of year. As usual with our beer releases, there's a fair bit of history and back story on the style and how we decided to brew our own interpretation. Hang with us, or just look at the pics, this is long. And as an aside, the diacritical marks in this post were removed, as my blog has a hard time with them.
The Czech word Polotmavy translated to English is "half-dark" or what we know as amber. As with all Czech styles, brewers categorize by color and strength, so a Polotmavy can range from 4% to 8%. Ours is a Polotmavy Lezak, on the lighter side of amber, and 4.4% ABV. Check out the interminable brewing historian Ron Pattinson's quick guide to Czech beer, and then realize everything you've been told about Czech beer styles is false.
Notch's Polotmavy lies firmly on the drier side of the style, with a good smack of Czech Saaz for balance. And at this point I need to warn those who equate hoppy with citrus, pine and juicy fruit – this beer has none of the hop character you'll find in hoppy US beer styles. Notch Polotmavy is 100% Saaz, from the first wort hopping all the way through to the dry hopping, and the result is a classic Saaz hop character (herbal, grassy, floral). It is certainly hop forward, but balanced, and the malt comes through beautifully. Notch Polotmavy is a subtle beast, if that makes any sense.
And the malt! The malt is equally the star of this beer. But more on that later. Let's start with our trip. Those who follow us on Twitter and FB may have seen our posts from Europe this past spring where we visited the Czech Republic (again), with side trips to Bamberg and Munich. Our two favorite beer brewing and beer culture nations would serve as the backdrop for beer inspiration, and Polotmovy was top of the list, so we'll focus on that part of the trip.
In Prague, we met up with Evan Rail, a travel and beer writer for the NY Times, and set out for an afternoon of beers and wide ranging discussion (the two should go hand in hand, and Prague's pubs, they certainly do). We first hit the new Three Roses brewpub (Pivovar U Tri Ruzi), and Evan got us a tour of the new facility. Money is pouring into Prague, and it shows in this brewpub. Not a single brewer's hose that I could see, as everything is hard plumbed, and everything controlled by pneumatics and solenoid valves. This is rare in a US brewpub. This is rare in most US craft breweries. It certainly made me curious about the beer.
We tried a little of everything at Three Roses, and on the menu was both Polotmavy Lezak and Vienna Lezak (both 13 Plato). This surprised me, as Polotmavy is a distant cousin of Vienna, but it also excited me, as it clearly shows the Czechs view Polotmavy as a distinct style. The Polotmavy was a bit sweet to my taste, low IBU, but a solid beer and well brewed.
We walked back up the road to U Medvidku, where we were staying. On the first floor of the hotel is a Budvar beer hall, but recently a brewery was built in the basement of the hotel (when we last stayed at U Medvidku in 2005, the brewery was under planning). We followed Evan through the first floor beer hall, past the back rooms, down some stairs, though another smaller hall and then finally through to the new brewery, which sits right next to long communal drinking tables. The brewery set-up is fantastic – decoction brewhouse, cool ship, open wooden fermenters and wooden barrels for lagering. All of this in about 750 sq/ft, and I'm guessing it's a 5 hectoliter system. Time for more beer.
I started with the house Svetly Lezak (A light lager beer, what the US incorrectly calls a Pilsner. If it's not from Plzen, it's not a Pilsner). And I was reminded quickly that what we view as monolithic beer style country (light colored lagers all tasting the same) is really a country that has a wide interpretation of each beer style. This Svetly Lezak screamed of individualism, with a complex malt and assertive hop profile. It also had, gasp, a fair bit of diacetyl, which is a common and expected part of the Czech lager profile. I liked the beer, not too sweet, not too dry, but right down the middle in terms of balance. The next beer up was the Polotmavy, but a stronger version (forgot the plato, but maybe 14 or so). A wonderful beer, but certainly not a session beer. But much to learn from this beer, especially in the big, sweetish malt profile. I really loved this brewery, and the respect they have for tradition. They even ship their lagering barrels to Plzen to be re-pitched!
We found Evan to be a great host, but more so a great person to grab a pint with. Before we knew, beer talk was gone and we were onto music. My kind of beer drinking. Our day wrapped up as Evan needed to head home to the family, so we made plans to meet up later in the week and said our good-byes.
The next morning we met up with Petr Pinkas, a beer blogger (http://pivnirecenze.cz/) and soon to be professional brewer (he supplied some of the photos below). Petr is from the Czech town of Brno and represents the younger, new wave of Czech beer fans and brewers. He has a lot of respect for Czech brewing, but also wants to push past the lager dominated offerings on the market and offer wider variety (sound familiar?). Our first stop was at Strahovsky Pivovovar, just past the Prague Castle, for lunch, beers and a tour of the brewery. This is a newer brewery with a small beer hall and small beer garden (patio, really), that seems to be very busy. On that day we watch a wedding ceremony of some sort in the brewhouse at the same time beer was being brewed! Also, I took a photo of the brewer's desk, something about them draws me in, maybe I'm looking at my own habits.
I really like the set-up of this brewery (more modern than U Medvidku, but without the automation of U Tri Ruzi), and the beers really shined. I started with a Cerne Pivo, and Petr and I got to talking about this style. There are two paths currently with Cerne Pivo in the Czech Republic, the old school, lower IBU, slightly sweeter versions, and the new school, high IBU versions that dry the beer our a bit. This was firmly in the new school, and it had great character and drinkability. I was quickly on to the Polotmavy Lezak, and found this to be the best example in Prague. A real stunner in my book and everything I was hoping Polotmavy Lezak to be – wonderful complex malt character balanced by a good dose of hop bitterness and flavor. The bar had been set, and it was pretty high.
I discussed recipes of both Cerne and Polotmavy with Petr, and he explained that the malts for both are usually the same – Pils, Munich, Crystal (or a type of Caramalt), and a dark roasted malt – but in different proportions. This is similar to my Cerne and Polotmavy recipes, except that in each case I dropped Pils malt altogether.
Our day with Petr and his friends was a long one, filled with much beer drinking and much more fun. I got schooled on food, culture and some much needed Czech language pronunciations! There is much more to our Czech trip, but that will be saved for another day, including our fantastic trip with Max Pivero to Uneticky Pivovar. I also sampled many more Polotmavy from Czech brewers small and large. It's a wide ranging category of beers, and hard to call a style unless you designate a strength to it. Saison anyone?
But I promised the malt! I used Weyermann Vienna malt as the base malt for the recipe, and this was inspired by my visit there while in Bamberg. I try to use local ingredients whenever feasible, but for this beer, there really was no substitute for what I was trying to achieve. Like the Saaz hops, if you ever want to understand how Vienna malt tastes or smells, Notch Polotmavy will give you all you need to know. No photos are allowed inside of Weyermann, so here's some outdoor shots of this beautiful facility.
Prizes for anyone who made it to this point. While my blog frequency has gone done, the length has gotten a bit out of hand. You should see Notch Polotmavy hit the shelves by the weekend (Aug 24), and then draft next week, hopefully. We'll post locations on where you can find Notch Polotmavy as they happen. Na zdravi!

No sense vamping when this list has probably been tweeted dozens of times by now. (Last year's revised ranking in parentheses.)
1. Lucas Giolio, RHP (2)
2. A.J. Cole, RHP (4)
3. Brian Goodwin, CF (3)
4. Matt Skole, 1B/3B (5)
5. Robbie Ray, LHP (–)
6. Sammy Solis, LHP (9)
7. Michael Taylor, CF (–)
8. Jake Johansen, RHP ('13 Draft Pick)
9. Nathan Karns, RHP (6)
10. Steve Souza, OF (–)
Frankly, I was initially confused as to how an injured position player and a coming-off-surgery pitcher could move up in the rankings. This, of course, is no disrespect to them, but simple logic dictates that getting hurt and/or losing a year of development is the kind of thing that drops your stock, not improves it. This was Fitt's answer to my question about that rationale for ranking them higher in 2014 than 2013:
I think Skole is in the same No. 4* slot he was last year (and remember that Anthony Rendon graduated to the big leagues). I did not dock Skole for being hurt — it was a fluke injury, and he returned strong this fall. I still think he's a quality power-hitting prospect, and I ranked him accordingly. As for Solis, I got very encouraging reports on him coming off that surgery, and I expect him to move very quickly next year (assuming he can stay healthy — which is a legitimate question, given his track record). At this point, I think he has a better chance to stick as a big league starter than Karns, who strikes me as more of a power reliever ultimately. So I moved Solis ahead of Karns. I can't say I'm overly excited about any of those guys — Solis is 25 now and still has yet to reach Double-A, after all. I don't think this is a great top 10 after the top of the list, although I do like some of the depth in the 11-30 range.
* Skole was initially ranked #4 in December 2012, then moved to #5 when BA revised the list in March 2013
I give Fitt credit answering honestly, particularly in remarking about how the talent thins out rapidly after the first few guys, which has been the case for about two years now. For those wondering, Fitt said that he wrestled with a cluster of Tony Renda, Matt Purke, Billy Burns, and Zach Walters before deciding upon Souza for the #10 spot. There are certainly arguments that can be made for any of those five against the other four and it may be bit revealing of your personal biases, too. Fitt, it appears, likes Souza's five-tool promise over Burns's speed, Purke's LHSP capabilities, Renda's bat/eye, Walter's power, etc.
One new wrinkle to this year's rankings is a list of the Top 15 players under the age of 25, which you can find in the free article along with a list of the best tools, prospects of the year and top draft picks from the past 10 years. And of course, the top bonuses paid, for which
Robin Leach Fitt remains enamored of the decision of the Nationals to spend heavily just as they were hitting rock bottom.
The projections for where the 2014 Top 10 will begin (or finish) next season were as follows:
AAA – Cole, Goodwin, Karns, Souza
AA – Skole, Ray, Solis, Taylor
Low-A – Giolito
Not specified – Johansen
I personally believe Cole will probably return to Harrisburg and be moved up in May or June; likewise for Johansen with Hagerstown as his starting point — but lately the Nats have been more aggressive, so it could be Syracuse and Potomac, respectively. As mentioned in the comments, where a prospect starts is not nearly as important as where he finishes.

Good news: Sens open season in Bowie!
Does Barrett get added to 40 man as Gomez fish wrapped
For Ham Fighters?
Or does Rizzo add Luke Scott??
Great work Luke
May the force be with you and the Schwartz
Be with you ( Mel brooks space balls !)
What do you think the plan is for Giolito next year? They will probably let him him pitch a good amount of innings next year. If all goes well you think he can make it to Harrisburg?
Why even post this list..Its all about age not talent!!
Ross: how so? I think a pretty reasonable list, to be honest. My personal take:
1. Giolito
2. AJ Cole
3. Goodwin
4. Skole
5. Michael Taylor
6. Johansen
7. Stephen Souza
8. Solis
9. Purke
10. Robbie Ray
Honorable mentions: Burns, Walters, Renda, Severino, Taylor Hill, Aaron Barrett, Karns, Wander Ramos, Austin Voth, Nieto, Martinson, Mirowski, Benincasa
Giolotto unproven. Johansen unproven purke a complete joke. Solis nothing special and your list isn't even right because karns is nine…
OK, it seems like you're just trolling, but I will point out that all prospects, by definition, are unproven.
John, you should have learned by now that Nathan Karns is the love child of none other than Cy Young and Jesus Christ.
It doesn't matter that AJ Cole and Robbie Ray had nearly identical numbers to Karns at the same level. It also doesn't matter that Cole and Ray are four years younger than Karns.
Karns, unlike anyone else on this list, is proven. He's pitched in the majors, and his 7.50 ERA, 8.38 FIP, 5 HR allowed in 12 IP are a testament to proven-ness.
I'm surprised that Drew Ward hasn't even made a discussion for potential inclusion. He's certainly not top 10 at this point, but for a HS kid playing his first professional wood bat season he did very nicely. Although he's obviously a minimum of 2-3 years away at this point.
Excuse me but Karns led the league in strikeouts and era!
First, Karns did not lead the league in strikeouts. Trevor May did with 159.
Second, by what standard did Karns lead the league in ERA?
Because I see (just to name a few of the dozens of pitchers with better ERAs), Darin Gorski, Logan Darnell, Nicholas Kingham, Anthony Ranaudo, Sean Nolin, Kyle Lobstein, Shane Greene and Alex Meyer all with better ERAs (not to mention our own Taylor Hill, Taylor Jordan, and AJ Cole).
Looking only at qualified players (which I assume you're doing) is an inherently flawed approach in the minor leagues, because successful players are usually promoted. Take Anthony Ranaudo, for example. He was doing extremely well with the SeaDogs (2.95 ERA through 110 IP), and was promoted to AAA, where he was equally successful (2.97 ERA across 10 starts). Can we just ignore those 110 EL innings he threw? Or even his overall 140 IP with a 2.96 ERA?
I'm not trying to diminish Karns' very good season. But one of the most integral aspects of evaluating prospects is age. Look at it this way. Imagine if Cole missed the entirety of the next 3 years. Then returned in 2017 to Harrisburg and put up good numbers.
He'd be the same age as Karns is now. In 2018.
Where do you think Karns deserves to be? And why?
You could make a good argument for why Karns deserves to be higher than Solis or Johansen, but simply calling them "unproven" and "nothing special" is a lazy and wildly inaccurate argument.
Oh yeah three games in the big leagues is a testament. And against two of the best teams in baseball! Even strasburg debuted against the worst team in baseball!
[…] Farm system has taken a hit from the Gio Gonzalez and Span deals. Baseball America has updated Washington's top ten prospects with pitcher Lucas Giolito atop the list. Bleacher Report re- racked their top ten at […]

Manager draws on positives
by Steve Feekins
Martin O'Neill looks forward to Everton test.
Martin O'Neill talked about his personal good record against Everton ahead of the Black Cats trip to Goodison Park, and maintained his side will head to Merseyside in a positive frame of mind.
The Toffees have been on a good run of form in the Barclays Premier League, and O'Neill's charges have lost just once on the road all season.
My own particular record at Everton is actually quite good.
- Martin O'Neill
My own particular record at Everton is actually quite good.
- Martin O'Neill
Sunderland's record includes three draws, but O'Neill insists his side will be going for victory at Goodison Park, with a focus on improving the side's attacking fortunes top of the manager's list.
O'Neill said: "My own particular record at Everton is actually quite good. I hope that over the next couple of seasons I am able to put a side out that teams actually revere.
"What we have to do, if you look at statistics, we just have to try and improve our goal ratio and we have to create more opportunities.
"Defensively, it appears that we're reasonably strong. We have to create more chances and score more goals."
"I think it's very difficult to go and plan for anything else." O'Neill continued.
"If you sit back in any game in this league, against any team, then I think you'd be under severe pressure to try and hold out."
The manager has been impressed by Everton's progress during David Moyes' time in charge, and hinted that the long-term stability at Goodison Park was key.
He said: "I think that you have to do pretty well in this modern game to at least hold your position but I think that sort of stability has obviously had a great effect there.
"Ten years in the job is a long time and it does eventually lead to decent results. They're a very fine side, and they have been one for quite a number of seasons.
"People talk about the great start that they've had [to the 2012-13 season] but that doesn't surprise me. They're very strong.
"We will go there to try and win the game. Anything can happen on any given day."

Midwest United U14 traveled to Schwan's USA Cup, a week-long international tournament, held in Blaine, MN, just north of Minneapolis. United was one of 958 teams attending from 22 states and 16 countries. United players were proud to represent the Joplin area at the head of the parade of teams at the opening ceremonies. Immediately following the parade, Josue Hernandez and his teammates carried the flame as a part of the torch-lighting segment of the ceremonies.
United advanced to the playoffs with two victories over American teams and one loss to a team from the Dominican Republic. In the playoffs, United was tied 1-1 at half with Rio de Janeiro Select, but eventually was bested in the second half by the potent Brazilian offense.
The team had a great learning experience at the tournament, made many new friends from the Marquette Waves team, and participated in a number of fun activities, including beach soccer, and 3 V 3 at the Mall of America. Our club also brought four additional players who guest-played for teams from Columbia and Brazil. All four players scored for their respective international teams and represented Midwest Select well at the tournament.
We are proud of our players and the skill and heart that they demonstrated at the USA Cup. Read more about United's trip to USA Cup in USA Cup's official newsletter and ABC Newspapers. Highlights of the opening ceremonies may be seen in Episode 6 of USA Cup's Kick TV. Visit our galleries for more photos.

The cruise line has followed in Cruise Critic's footsteps by implementing CarnivalConnections.com, the cruise line's new online community -- a social networking and group planning tool for those looking to share their onboard experiences. Although there are several online communities for cruisers -- like Cruise Critic -- Carnival is the first cruise line to create one specifically for their customers.
CarnivalConnections.com helps family and friends join together to plan and manage their "Fun Ship" cruise with technological tools such as electronic invitations (e-vites), and guest-written message boards for organizing family reunions, girlfriend getaways and other group events.
The message boards also allow registered users to ask questions, post responses and provide general feedback about past and future "Fun Ship" sailings. There's also a section where users can post detailed reviews of their Carnival cruise.
Enhancements have also been made to its company Web site, www.carnival.com, including an interactive destination map, destination "virtual tours," guest video testimonials and a "close-to-home" cruise locator, along with a new design mirroring the line's current advertising campaign.

See video of dedication ceremony below.
In Japanese culture, the cherry blossom — or Sakura — is a symbol for the transience of beauty and for living life in the moment. It's also a symbol for the beauty of spring.
See video of dedication ceremony below.
Alas, the dedication of a new Japanese garden in Vancouver that itself bears much symbolism, took place under skies that were neither beautiful nor springlike.
A crowd of nearly 200 huddled under umbrellas and canopies for the opening ceremony of the Royce E. Pollard Japanese Friendship Garden on the campus of Clark College on Thursday. Rain poured onto the granite slabs and rock sculptures surrounded by cherry trees.
The garden is a gift from Chihiro Kanagawa, the chief executive of Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., the parent company of SEH America. SEH does not disclose exact personnel numbers, but it is estimated that the company employs about 700 workers in Clark County.
Kanagawa requested that the garden be named after Pollard, Vancouver's former mayor, said Tim Leavitt, the city's current mayor, during the ceremony. Pollard was reluctant to accept this, but Kanagawa insisted, Leavitt said.
That insistence became apparent again Thursday in a letter from Kanagawa read by Tatsuo Ito, a vice president of SEH America.
"I consider Mayor Pollard not only a great community leader, but also a lifetime friend," Ito read from the letter.
The garden is meant "to show support to this amazing community and its leaders," Ito said.
He called the garden a "lasting symbol of close friendship beyond business that has matured over the years with this city."
Ito said the relationship between city, college and local silicon wafer manufacturer sustains the economy of the Vancouver community.
Pollard, after a few quips about the inclement weather, reminisced about planting some of the large cherry trees that ring the campus's green spaces. The trees were planted in 1990 to commemorate Washington's 100th anniversary of statehood. They'd been a gift from another Japanese high-tech manufacturer.
"As those trees have grown, so has our understanding of the importance … of understanding each other," Pollard said.
He said Kanagawa always appreciated the Vancouver community and what it has done for the company.
The SEH facility in eastern Vancouver is the most productive of all the SEH sites around the world, Pollard said.
Thursday's ceremony also was one of many around the country this year to honor the 100th anniversary of a Japanese gift of cherry trees planted along the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., said Takamichi Okabe, the consul general of Japan in Portland.
But because of the Japan-Vancouver relationship that dates back to 1834, when three shipwrecked Japanese sailors washed up on the Washington Coast and eventually wound up at Fort Vancouver, Okabe considered Thursday's event one of the most significant, he said.

44-clove garlic soup
Today exhausted me. A Thursday 5 p.m. deadline inexplicably became a Wednesday 2 p.m., and somehow, on what is supposed to be the deadest (inventive language like this is what I get paid the big bucks, folks) news week of the year, I was under an avalanche of it. Plus, there were other insults to injury: I had my first warm latte of the cooler season and spilled a good sum of it on my pink shirt, I stepped in a puddle and my surprisingly absorbent sandals remained damp and cold all day and I realized that flame-tinted leaf I'd seen this weekend and considered sort of a fluke, might not have been. Don't get me wrong I love fall just not in August.

A couple days ago, I wrote about Daniel S., the Andrew Christian Modelling Contest winner who was just in LA for a three day underwear/swimwear shoot. One of the projects he was a part of was the Andrew Christian Holiday Video which has just been revealed.
In the video, the boys shake their booties (and occasionally lip sync) to a "Hey Santa!" by Mr. Vegas Man. In contrast to some of the more recent AC videos, there is no real theme or storyline to this one, just the boys dancing around in their underwear with Christmas music playing in the background. The most entertaining of the bunch was Jason Medina, but Daniel S. was also quite nice too look at 😉 Even the gay Hugh Hefner, Andrew Christian himself joins in at the end to dance with the boys.
Given that the video is NSFW, I'm pretty sure all of these boys have made the naughty list – but in this case, it's naughty in a good way! Enjoy the video below!

I'm not writing this with a clear head, but that mental state should be par for the course with anything Mets-related. This is an organization that has repeatedly compared itself to the Yankees, yet can't positively compare itself to the Marlins or Nationals. Am I being rash? Doubtful. And here's why.
Omar Minaya is the General Manager, Jerry Manual is the Manager, and Jeff Wilpon and Fred Wilpon are calling the shots from up above.
Until the majority, or preferably all, of those things change, the Mets will continue to flounder between being mediocre and being terrible. Their peak over the last five years came in 2006, yet even that season ended horribly. The Mets won the division and had an easy path to glory in front of them: beat the Cardinals for the pennant, and beat the Tigers in the Series. That wasn't exactly a tall task, but the Mets couldn't pull it off. The bend of Adam Wainwright's curveball that night is still sending shock waves through the Mets fan base and organization to this day.
The 2007 and 2008 seasons were lost to players without heart and managers without a clue. The 2009 season was lost to fragile bodies, fragile egos, and an organizational decision to turn every injury into an absolute P.R. nightmare and public display of incompetence.
This year? This season stands out for its own ineptitude. Johan Santana, David Wright, Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, Jason Bay, and Francisco Rodriguez have all proven that they cannot be relied upon to be a core of a championship team.
Santana: A #1, but not an ace. There's a difference.
Wright: Nice rebound season from 2009, but there are a variety of reasons why he's called Captain Unclutch.
Jose Reyes/Carlos Beltran: Their injury histories are once again catching up with them. Credit to them for doing their best to get back on the field, but how can you rely on heavily paid stars who can't play 162 games for you?
Jason Bay: I fear writing a sentence that includes more words than 2010 Jason Bay homers. Oops, too late.
And that brings us to K-Rod. K-Rod's latest dustup is probably, when properly analyzed, a breakdown of what this Mets team truly is: an overrated talent that can't handle the heat of New York, and is self-destructive due to the fragility of the ego and character. K-Rod's physical altercation with his father-in-law led to his arrest at Citi Field on Wednesday night. The best part? K-Rod had to stay in a Citi Field jail. Spending more time than you need to in Citi Field is the perfect punishment for any Mets supporter, and more so for a Mets player nowadays, so good job by the police on that decision.
K-Rod's act has worn thin, and so have the actions (or inactions) of the Mets organization. K-Rod goes about his business throwing subpar fastballs, jawing at umpires, pitching coaches, and Mets officials as soon as something doesn't go his way. And looking at his numbers as a Met, that has happened pretty often. He doesn't deserve the salary he has, and doesn't deserve to wear a Mets uniform again. Harsh and unrealistic? Of course, but it's a stand that Mets management needs to make.
To put it simply, it's time to clean house. Since the close of the '08 season, I've said it to anyone who will listen that this team needs to be overhauled. David Wright and Jose Reyes are very good complimentary players who are being shoved into leadership-type roles. Jason Bay's game is so anti-Citi Field that it takes an entire article to expound upon the terrible signing that this was. I even said so when the Mets signed him. The team still lacks a #2 pitcher and has a terrible bench and bullpen.
And who put this team together? Omar Minaya. He deserves some credit for bringing in cheap contributors like R.A. Dickey and Takahashi, and to a lesser extent Rod Barajas and Chris Carter, but he doesn't deserve that much credit. Scouts are the ones who do the legwork on the cheap signings. The GMs gain notoriety and build their reputations upon big trades and big signings.
Santana trade? Excellent. K-Rod signing? Jason Bay signing? Luis Castillo? Alex Cora? And going for Bay and ignoring the numerous other holes on the roster? Atrocious.
And now, Jerry Manuel. Ever listen to a Jerry Manuel interview or press conference? He sounds like he just woke up from a 20-minute nap. Still groggy, still out of it, and unsure what he's saying because he's still half asleep. His words lack meaning and conviction. His leadership skills are sorely lacking, and his game management skills are even worse. How he has made millions as a manager of this game, I'll never know.
The worst of it is that this team is pretty much in place to repeat in 2011. Not many significant contracts are coming off of the books until after next year, and who knows what types of moves Omar will be allowed to make this winter. And the ones that he's allowed to make? What amount of confidence do Mets fans have that they'll be smart decisions? Little to none.
Time for the Wilpons to wake up and get a plan in place to bring this team back to respectability, and that means tearing the structure down. Eat 2011 and, if necessary, 2012. Lower ticket prices, admit what you're doing, bring up some kids, trade who you can, and start over. Hell, the Florida Marlins have done it twice and both times it led to a championship.
Just keep telling yourself that your team doesn't play in the Bronx, your last name is not Steinbrenner, and you'll see the light: this team is beyond patchwork fixes, and needs to be blown up.

Between World War I and World War II, African Americans' quest for civil rights took on a more aggressive character as a new group of black activists challenged the politics of civility traditionally embraced by old-guard leaders in favor of a more forceful protest strategy. Beth Tompkins Bates traces the rise of this new protest politics--which was grounded in making demands and backing them up with collective action--by focusing on the struggle of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP) to form a union in Chicago, headquarters of the Pullman Company.

A growing coalition of environmentalists, public health advocates and sustainable businesses including renewable energy companies and composters are urging Gov. Martin O'Malley to veto legislation that would qualify trash incineration as a "Tier 1" renewable energy source on par with solar and wind - and rightly so. The bill on Mr. O'Malley's desk would be disastrous for advancing the state's top waste-management priorities - reduce, reuse and recycle - and legitimate renewable energy.

Pasadena California, where Leslie & I live, prides itself on being the focus of the entire world for a few hours on January first of every year. Or, if the first is on Sunday, then on January second because we're all busy worshiping the sun on Sunday.
Colorado Boulevard becomes a large all-night party as people cheer midnight, eat junk food, try to stay warm and jockey for the best free view of the parade.
Television viewers (at least 3 billion of you) see only the fantastical floats, the bright sunshine, the exotic flowers, the picturesque mountains, the beautiful girls - and then you decide to move here. (Please move here - it keeps our real estate values and smog levels up.)
What no one shows you (except Mixed Meters) is the garbage left behind on Colorado Boulevard after the crowds leave and before the estimable City of Pasadena Street Maintenance & Integrated Waste Management Division moves in. Tomorrow morning it'll look like nothing ever happened. How do they do it?

Golfers cannot pay greens fees for just one hole. Currently, the regular, weekday, walking rate for 18 holes at Chick Evans Golf Course is $30. The regular, weekend, walking rate for 18 holes is $33. (Chick Evans Golf Course is at 6145 N. Golf Road in Morton Grove, Ill.)
The 15th hole is the easiest, par four hole on this Forest Preserve Golf course. Easier holes are par three holes—the 18th, 10th and fourth. The fourth is the easiest, par three hole. The 14th is the easiest, par five hole.
For the 15th hole, the average distance to the putting green for the rear, Blue teeing ground is 269 yards. From the middle, White teeing ground, the average distance is 251 yards. Two hundred thirty-three yards is the average distance from the front, Red teeing ground.
This hole's fairway is straight, and it points southeast. The fairway is moderately wide and lacks any sand bunkers or water hazards. On the right side there is a rough area that consists of closely-spaced tall grass and weeds. In 2013, this area was thick enough for at least one skunk to emerge from it. A few, widely-spaced, medium height trees are on the left side.
Having an average, 269 yards distance from the rear teeing grounds allows powerful golfers to reach the putting green with their drives. However, in my opinion, most amateur golfers drive 240 yards-250 yards. (Remember, drivers cannot apply backspin, so for golf balls to stay on this putting green, they must roll onto it.)
The putting green is medium size. It has an oval shape. This green is at the same level as the fairway. No sand bunkers are around this green.

Daylight Runs Out, But Lancers Walk Off With 3-2, Season-Opening Win
The lights didn't come on at Brookside Park's Jackie Robinson Memorial Field to extend an extra-inning affair between the Pasadena City College and Antelope Valley College baseball teams Thursday. Instead, the Lancers beat the impending darkness and avoided a tie on a bases-loaded, walk-off RBI grounder by Matt Chavez in the Lancers' season-opening, 3-2, victory in 10 innings.
The Lancers celebrated the return of 2003 alumnus Brandon Kintzler, the only current PCC alum on a Major League Baseball roster as a relief pitcher with the Milwaukee Brewers. Kintzler, who received his original No. 1 Lancers pinstripe jersey as a gift, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Kintzler and his father drove down from their home in Las Vegas to attend the opening day festivities.
While Kintzler didn't see all of the 3 hour, 18-minute contest before heading back home to Nevada, he certainly could be proud of the pitching efforts of the three Lancer pitchers who saw action v. AVC. Starter Brett Smith, lefty middle reliever Adam Wickham, and closer Kevin Gute combined to strike out 10 Marauders and stranded 14 Antelope Valley runners on base.
Gute, a 6-foot-2, righthander from San Marino High, hurled three innings of 1-hit, shutout relief and struck out four batters to record the win in relief. The freshman worked out of a first-and-third jam in the top of the 10th inning.
In the bottom of the 10th with diminishing visibility becoming more pressing, sophomore first baseman Jose Serna lined his third hit of the game to center. After a sacrifice bunt by third baseman Andrew Newman moved Serna to second, AVC intentionally walked designated hitter Adan Carbajal. Catcher Jason Clark followed with another walk that loaded the bases. With the infield playing in, Chavez, the team's starting rightfielder, hit a hard grounder down the line that was speared by first baseman Josh Cox. Cox dove on the bag, but Serna easily scored on the play, ending the contest.
Serna made 17 putouts at first base in a busy afternoon for the letterman.
PCC battled back from a 2-0 deficit with two runs in the seventh inning. Second baseman Alex Acevedo and centerfielder Kyle Wilkinson each recorded RBI grounders.
Smith scattered six hits, walked four, and struck out five in 4-1/3 innings before giving way to Wickham, who twirled 2-2/3 innings of shutout ball. After Smith allowed two first-inning runs, the pitchers gave up goose eggs for the next nine innings.
Besides Serna, Chavez added two hits for the Lancers' offense. For AVC, Cox knocked out three hits. Marauders' starter Steven Tremlin tossed six shutout innings, allowing only four hits before tiring.
"Great day for baseball. Great to have a Major Leaguer return here that the players can identify with and see that opportunities do and can exist coming through the community college level. Kintzler is only some six years older than most of our guys" PCC Head Coach Evan O'Meara said.
"You hope to have at least one pitcher settle in on opening day, but to have three guys pitch well lifted the team. Gute really shut the door on AVC. The infielders also made the plays, especially in some pressure-packed situations. We kind of scored our runs ugly, but it was enough."
PCC travels to play a doubleheader at Antelope Valley Saturday, Feb. 5, Game 1 begins at 11 a.m.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
washer, dryer, lint
Three years ago, when I moved into my townhouse, I spent a small fortune updating the ancient appliances to more energy-efficient models. This upfront investment, I figured, would save me money in repairs and replacements down the road. I was wrong.
I've already had to call in a repairman three times—twice for my front-loading washing machine and once for my dryer. I don't know if I would have had better luck with machines from other manufacturers, but I do know that I will start following these 10 tips for extending my washer and dryer's life, posted yesterday by re-nest. In a nutshell, these include:
--Make sure it's level. If it's not level, the machine's vibrations and movements could damage it.
--Keep it clean. Wash off surface dust and detergent
--Check the water fill hoses. A small blister could be a sign of an impending rupture. Most manufacturers recommend replacing the hoses every five years.
--Don't overdry. This not only shortens your clothing's life, but also your dryer's longevity.
--Look for a moisture sensor. If you're buying a new dryer, get one with a sensor that will turn it off when the clothes are dry.
--Keep the washer's door open. If you don't have pets or kids who may crawl in, keeping the door open discourages mold and mildew.
--Vent the dryer fully. Make sure the vent tubing has no kinks or snags, which can cause fires.
--Clean dispensers and attachments once a month.
--Prep for vacations. If you're going away for a while, turn off the water supply and unplug the machines.

A Rose for Emily
by William Faulkner
A Rose for Emily Section 4 Summary
- The town immediately hears about Emily's arsenic purchase, and immediately assumes she will kill herself.
- They also think this is the best solution to her problem.
- When Emily and Homer first became an item, the town thought they would get married.
- Later, the town begins to believe that Homer is gay – he likes to have drinks with "younger men" (4.1) and admits he isn't the marrying kind.
- The town feels sorry for Emily whenever they see her riding with Homer.
- Some of the women become worried that Emily's relationship with Homer is a bad example for the town youths.
- Then, the meddling begins.
- First the town gets the minister to talk to Emily about the Homer Barron problem.
- She must have really told off that minister, because he refuses tell anybody what Emily said to him, and she doesn't stop seeing Homer.
- So, they bring out the big guns: Emily's two female cousins from Alabama, relatives of old lady Wyatt.
- For a little while, the town doesn't think the cousin plan was successful.
- When Emily buys a shaving kit with Homer's initials on it, and "a complete outfit of men's clothing, including a nightshirt" (4.3), they think that Emily and Homer either are married or soon will be.
- The town is happy about this, because they like the cousins way less than they like Miss Emily and want to see the cousins fail at what they had set out to do.
- Homer's project finishes, and he isn't in town.
- They think he'll be back once Miss Emily's cousins leave, and they're right.
- A few days after the cousins took off, Homer Barron comes back on the scene.
- He is seen entering Miss Emily's house, but never seen after that.
- Other than the occasional glimpse in the window, the town doesn't see Emily for about six months.
- When she emerges after the six months, she's put on lots of weight, and her hair has turned gray.
- It gets grayer and grayer until it is "an even pepper-and-salt iron gray" (4.6).
- At this point, she goes back into her home and doesn't come out of her house until she dies, except for when she gives china-painting lessons.
- She gives the lessons for about six or seven years, beginning when she is about 40.
- But when the younger generation takes over the town, they stop sending their kids to Miss Emily and her door stays closed.
- The town then watches Tobe's hair go gray, as he goes back and forth from the house with the shopping.
- The town sends Miss Emily a bill for her taxes every December, and it is always returned.
- She is only seen, from time to time, in a downstairs window.
- Somehow, the town knows that Miss Emily had "shut up the top floor of her house" (4.9).
- The narrator says she looked "like the carven torso of an idol in a niche" (4.9).
- (An idol is a worshiped, and usually feared, object. Such an object might be placed "in a niche," a spot. And since Emily is in the window, only her torso is visible.)
- Then the narrator tells us that this image of Emily in the window is seen by generations of townspeople. To all these generations she is "dear, inescapable, impervious, tranquil, and perverse" (4.9).
- Emily dies like that in a dusty, old, dark house, with just the aged Tobe for company and care.
- Nobody even knew Emily was sick before she died.
- The town had stopped asking Tobe about her long ago, knowing he wouldn't tell them anything.
- Tobe's voice sounded like it was rarely used. The town doubts he even talked to Emily.
- Miss Emily died in a bedroom downstairs in an old bed that hasn't seen sun in a very long time.

The pregnant woman who drove her van with her three kids inside into the ocean surf in Florida is now facing attempted murder charges. One of the passersby who helped rescue the children from of the sinking van, Tim Tesseneer, spoke with Fox News live on Friday March 7.
Tesseneer said that one of the children was screaming, "help she is trying to kill us." The kids, ages three, six and nine were rescued from the van, according to USA Today on March 7. The vehicle was getting carried further out in the surf and quickly going under. The mother is seen on the video getting out of the van and almost getting sucked under the vehicle by the turbulent surf. She made her way to shore without turning back for her kids.
The rescue was so harrowing that Tesseneer had to struggle to get the kids to shore and the lifeguard that went into the van to rescue the last child, got stuck inside the vehicle and needed to be rescued along with the child. Another lifeguard got the two of them out and helped them to shore.
Police say that the pregnant mother told her kids to "close their eyes" and that she was "taking them to a better place" before driving into the surf of Daytona Beach. Ebony Wilkerson, 32, who is from North Carolina was in Florida visiting her sister. The horrific attempt to drown herself along with her kids was caught on video, as was the passersby springing into action as soon as they saw what was happening.
Wilkerson tried to fight one of the rescuers off when he was coming through the window after the kids. Her son was fighting his mother for control of the steering wheel during the drive towards the water. Wilkerson locked the doors and rolled up the windows then drove the van directly into the surf.
Wilkerson's sister had called 911 hours earlier trying to get help for her sister, who was acting odd. The pregnant mother was talking about Jesus and telling her sister that there were demons in her house.
Police said the outcome of this story "would have been tragic" if the rescuers had come 10 minutes later than they did. On Friday Wilkerson was still undergoing a mental evaluation. Tesseneer told Fox News that he understood after the kids went to the hospital they were placed in the custody of the state until relatives that could take the kids are located.

The current scores of the most recent Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test scores because of the implementation of the New Common Core Standards have created quite a stir in many states. The complexity of the issue basically amounts to the final grades that schools within districts because it always results in funding for the various programs within the school sites. Although various solutions are being explored in the state of Florida, including the social promotion of a given average of about 10,000 third grade students, who have at some point repeated a grade at least twice already, North Carolina, New York, Louisiana, and most Oklahoma have all at some point submitted waivers to "opt out" of certain aspects of the New Common Core Standards. While it is expected that many more states will follow the example of Tennessee in creating a "workable" version of the new standards, the problem still remains regarding creating a remedial program for those students that have failed some aspects of the exam, are working 2 or more levels below benchmark, but cannot be retained for an additional fiscal school year. A break down of the some of the test scores are as follows :
In Reading, 57-percent of students statewide scored on or above grade level in grades 3 through 10. Broward County Public School students in grades 3 through 10 also came in at 57-percent. The number was lower in Miami-Dade with only 54-percent of students scoring on or above grade level. In Math, the statewide figure was also 57-percent in grades 3 through 8. In Broward, the number was higher with 60-percent but it was lower in Miami-Dade with 56-percent. Students in fifth and eighth grade also took a Science FCAT. Statewide, 51-percent of students in 5th grade performed at or above the level 3 achievement level.
A variety of solutions be possibly be selected until a state decides to initiate and implement a bold initiative that retains the best components of the Common Core Standards and tweaks the options that would be beneficial to all of the stake holders within the educational system including those in grade 13, or post secondary education. Some recommendations might include:
- Outsourcing the 3rd grade students within the building. (This is probably the most common strategy where students will attend specialized classes with aggressive, innovative Resource Educators.)
- Creating a special grade level for the targeted student groups, but allows them to attend special area subjects along with their peers.
- Create a new position for an Itinerant Educator so that he/she might travel between feeder-patterns to service the students on selected days.
- Initiating a "revolving door" policy so that those students, when periodically assessed, showing sufficient adequate gains may be able to merge back into a selected classroom where the initial student count is deliberately kept much lower to accommodate "mergers" during the fiscal year.
- Hire additional Teacher Assistants to work ONLY in the rooms with the designated "Social Promoters' Rooms."
- Finally, but certainly not in the least, develop a rigorous collaborative home-to-school-to-home program so that there is consistency and scaffolding during the crucial periods of non-school contact.
While this list is by no means exhaustive, it sounds out that either way the districts will have to invest heavily into the lives of these students and create a more cohesive pathway for the students most affected by this educational hurdle.

Fuhrer, A; Sprenger, N; Kurakevich, E; Borsig, L; Chassard, C; Hennet, T (2010). Milk sialyllactose influences colitis in mice through selective intestinal bacterial colonization. Journal of Experimental Medicine, 207(13):2843-2854.
View at publisher
Milk oligosaccharides contribute to the development of the intestinal environment by acting as decoy receptors for pathogens and as prebiotics, which promote the colonization of commensal bacteria. Here, using α2,3- and α2,6-sialyltransferase-deficient mice, we investigated the role of the sialylated milk oligosaccharides sialyl(α2,3)lactose and sialyl(α2,6)lactose on mucosal immunity. The exposure of newborn mice to milk containing or deficient in sialyllactose had no impact on the development of mucosal leukocyte populations. However, when challenged by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in drinking water, adult mice that had been fostered on sialyl(α2,3)lactose-deficient milk were more resistant to colitis compared with mice fostered on normal milk or sialyl(α2,6)lactose-deficient milk. Analysis of intestinal microbiota showed different colonization patterns depending on the presence or absence of sialyl(α2,3)lactose in the milk. Germ-free mice reconstituted with intestinal microbiota isolated from mice fed on sialyl(α2,3)lactose-deficient milk were more resistant to DSS-induced colitis than germ-free mice reconstituted with standard intestinal microbiota. Thus, exposure to sialyllactose during infancy affects bacterial colonization of the intestine, which influences the susceptibility to DSS-induced colitis in adult mice.

It is kinda like C++, I'm good at it, but don't like doing it necessarily. I do think it needs some improvements, but they are "improvements" only in the philosophical sense.

I am wondering if the function $f_{n}(x)=\sqrt{\frac{1}{2\pi n^2}} exp(\frac{-x^2}{2n^2})$ can be viewed as a mollifier. I would like to prove that if $g$ is a continuous and bounded function then $f_{n}*g$ converges to $f*g$ as $n\rightarrow 0$ ( if $f_n$ is mollifier then the result is straighforward). I know that $f_n$ is a density so its integral over $\mathbb R$ is equal to 1, I guess that this function is smooth ($\mathcal{C}^{\infty}$). An clearly $f_n$ goes to zero when $\vert x \vert \rightarrow +\infty$, but I don't have the hypothesis that $f_{n}$ is compactly supported... thus is not clear for me whether $f_n$ is a mollifier... any suggestion?

Good question. Note $f_n(x)=1/n f(x/n)$ where $f(x)=\frac{1}{2 \pi} e^{-x^2/2}$. Approximate $f(x)$ by $h^\epsilon(x)$ in the $L^1$ norm such that $h^\epsilon(x)$ is positive and compactly supported (for instance, take $h^\epsilon(x)=\phi(x/\epsilon) f(x)$ where $\phi$ is a positive smooth bump function supported in $[-1,1]$).
Now do all the necessary estimates. That is, write
$$|(f_n * g)(x)-g(x)|\leq |((f_n-h^\epsilon_n)*g_n)(x)|+|(h^\epsilon_n * g_n)(x)-g(x)|$$ and then by Young's inequality with another triangle inequality $$|(f_n * g)(x)-g(x)|\leq \epsilon ||g||_\infty+|(h^\epsilon_n * g_n)(x)-||h^\epsilon||_{L^1} g(x)| + |||h^\epsilon||_{L^1}-1|\cdot|g(x)|.$$
Here's the key step. Since $h^\epsilon$ is compactly supported, dividing out by it's $L^1$ norm makes it a mollifier, and so $\frac{1}{||h^\epsilon_{L^1}||} h^\epsilon_n * g \to g$ as $n \to \infty$. So take the limsup of the above with respect to $n$ to get
$$\limsup_{n \to \infty} |(f_n * g)(x)-g(x)|\leq \epsilon ||g||_\infty+ |||h^\epsilon||_{L^1}-1|\cdot|g(x)|.$$
Now take $\epsilon \to 0$, and note that $||h^\epsilon|| \to 1$ to get that $$\limsup_{n \to \infty} |(f_n * g)(x)-g(x)| \leq 0,$$ hence the limit exists, hence we have convergence.
Smoothing a function by convolution with $f_n$ is a classical technique. Compared to mollifiers (with compact support) a big advantage is that $f_n$ and hence $f_n * g$ are not only smooth but analytic. Cutting off the Taylor series of the convolution you then get even polynomial approximation on compact sets, that is, the theorem of Weierstraß.

The flat was very close to Times Square, in an excellent position. Unfortunately we had some problems with the doorknob, so we wrote to WIMDU assistence for help. The technicians came the day after. Inside, there are a living room (with a davenport), a kitchen, two bedrooms (with two queen size bed) and one bathroom.The kitchen, was comfortable. The flat was cute but it needed some maintenance. The bathroom was quite different from the photo, there wasn't a shawer stall but a bath tub. But it was quite big and useful. Wi-fii was available and it worked very well.
Wimdu customer service was excellent. The host took a long time (worryingly so) to get in touch but the key pick up and service at the office was easy enough but it's 24 blocks south of the apartment. The apartment itself is in need of redecorating or the photos updating. The plug sockets in the kitchen trip out so we had to plug the kettle in under the dining area table! Bedsheets were old and one of my friends found a hair in the bed before she had slept in it :-( location perfect and close to delis bars restaurants and Starbucks. Water always hot for showers. Bath mat and spares would have been helpful having 7 people for one bathroom
We had some great days in the apartment. Very central situated, but the place is also very noisy. The bedrooms and kitchen were fine. The bathrooms did the job but are well used. The cleaning could have been better. The layout of the apartment (formerly two apartments) was strange with a door between the two bathrooms as the only connection (besides the staircase) between one of the bedrooms and the rest of the apartment.
If you like city break is the perfect opportunity
Located perfectly in the heart of New York. Walking distance to Macy's and the Empire and central park.
I really liked the place I selected. HOWEVER, On the day before we flew I was informed by "Mo" that the place I selected and paid for was "unavailable". He gave me the option of a VERY DIRTY APARTMENT THAT BASICALLY SUCKED ASS. There was mildew all over the bathroom. It was as if it had never been cleaned. I was there for 10 days and didn't feel clean once the entire time. There was space for six really dirty people to sleep, but GUESS WHAT? There are only two of us!!! So all the space was wasted. The TV service didn't work at all and yes, I was in NYC, but there are times I need to look at the news to see what's happening. THAT wasn't possible. There was crap left from previous tenants and I suppose from the owners of this dump. IT WAS BAIT AND SWITCH!!! I frikking hated every second I was in this stupid disease ridden dump.
The neighbourhood was alright and the apartment was fine as well, apart from one of the beds that almost fell apart. The biggest disappointment was that internet never worked, though we called them every day and were promised that it would be fixed immediately! Besides that the host "Mo" was very slow to respond to any issues. Not at all pleased with this stay!
Great apartment but a problem that water pressure is too low to use both bathrooms at the same time. Also the promised wi-fi did not work and the host did not respond to our mail and phone calls regarding this
all perfect very recomendable
The apartment didn't quite live up to expectations. Although advertised as 2 bedroom in reality it was a 1 bedroom with part of the original lounge area partitioned off to form a second bedroom. The apartment as a whole was well enough equipped and furnished. The toilet sink leaked when used resulting in flooding on a few occasions. This was reported at least 4 times to the leasing agency but it took 5 days before action was taken and the fault repaired which was most unsatisfactory. There was meant to be wifi availability but this did not prove to be the case. Also tv channels were limited.
In conclusion you were very much paying for the location rather than the apartment and the level of customer care was very poor indeed. I would not recommend staying at this property or booking through this agency.
The apartment is very well located. However, I did not get the service that was promised. I rented this apart due to its location and internet service, since I went to NYC for both work and pleasure. When checking in at the office, the instructions were given to me regarding internet access. I was suppossed to find a clear box with instructions... When I arrived to the apart, there were no clear box nor even modem!! DID NOT HAVE INTERNET service. I called to the office the same day to explain the situation. I did not have any solution at all during my stay. I got really disappointed since I had to pay to AT&T for a special service during my stay (USD500). In addition, the tenant did not recognize my extra expense, not even a penny!!! DISAPPOINTED!

Dell Continues Expansion of Direct Financing Capabilities in Europe
- Dell now offers direct financing in 16 countries
- Dell provides much needed capital to small and medium sized businesses
Dell's commercial customers in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland can now access direct financing for leases and loans to support their IT Solutions and long-term growth through Dell Financial Services (DFS). The expansion of DFS into more European countries means that Dell commercial customers now have access to direct Dell financing in 16 countries.
DFS provides a real alternative to bank and other sources of IT financing in Europe where access to capital remains a key obstacle for many businesses. Dell's customers can now get direct financial support for all their IT solutions and will be able to leverage the scale of Dell's operations across EMEA and benefit from the global consistency of Dell's financing terms and conditions. Through DFS, Dell will also be able to provide much needed capital to small- and medium-sized businesses looking to invest in new technology to give them a competitive edge and grow their companies.
Dell Financial Services will enable customers to:
- Conserve capital, preserve credit line: By providing financing Dell allows customers to focus more on investing in their business, not on the infrastructure to run it
- Manage cash flow: Payments can be structured to budget or cash flow requirements
- Prevent technology obsolescence: DFS lease solutions enable customers to regularly rotate their assets so that they can have the latest technology at all times
- Increase operational efficiency: Dell provides upgrade options and will dispose of old equipment so customers can focus on their business, not IT demands
- Lower total cost of ownership (TCO): Leasing facilitates a three year technology rotation which reduces TCO by minimizing support costs
- Access total solution financing: Dell can finance entire solutions for the same company; this includes, for example, the software and services that a Channel Partner includes in their proposal
"Access to adequate financing continues to be an issue in Europe and this has left many small- and medium-sized customers without the necessary capital to invest in new solutions and support future growth. Through DFS we are providing companies with an affordable and convenient way for customers to acquire the technology solutions they need to support and grow their businesses." said Cormac Costelloe, General Manager, Dell Financial Services EMEA. "The further expansion of DFS throughout Europe is part of our long-term commitment to expand our customer financing globally. Now even more of our customers will be able to access the capital they need. to make technology investments."
Customers in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland will now have access to the same direct financing opportunities Dell customers in U.K., Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg have been availing of since August 1, 2013 as well as the U.S. and Canada.

EUGENE, Ore.- The No. 21 University of Oregon women's golf team shot a 20-over 308 in the first round of the NCAA Central Regional. The ducks finished in a tie for eighth place out of the 24-team field at the 72, 6,264-yard Ohio State Scarlet Course in Columbus, Ohio.
Freshman Cassy Isagawa shot a 75 on the day, recording the best score for UO at three-over par. Isagawa finished in a tie for 20th overall after one round, but currently ranks seventh nationally based on scoring average by golfstat.com.
In the team standings, the third-ranked USC Trojans claim the first place spot after finishing 10-over par 298 after round one. One shot behind the Trojans, Georgia finished in second at 299 and 33rd-ranked Purdue shot 13-over 301 to round out the top standings in third place.
The Ducks also counted scorecards from Cali Hipp, Cheyenne Hickle, and Raphaela Dyer. Hickle finished at five-over par 77, finishing in a tie for 36th place after the first round. Hipp and Dyer both finished in a tie for 52nd after shooting six-over 78. Senior Ashley Edwards also made the trip, shooting nine-over 81 in a tie for 93rd after one round.
The top eight teams and the two individuals with the lowest scores, not from those teams from each regional will advance to the NCAA Championships. This year's NCAA Championship finals will be held May 22-25 at the Vanderbilt Legends Club in Franklin, Tennessee and will be hosted by Vanderbilt University, Nashville.
Out of the six individuals competing for two spots, Alex Buelow of Stetson and Madeleine Sheils of Nebraska are the top two individuals after both shooting even-par after one round. Marina Alex of Vanderbilt is the top player overall at two-under 70, Alex finished the day with a solid round of golf, totaling three birdies to offset one bogey.
