If it's so good why is the little male lefty the only hitter on your linked page whose body position and arm position isn't awful?
Study the Tool and see what it could do for hitters that juat don't get the feeling of the swing. Your right some of the pics where taken wrong and they will be changed.
Any drill or hitting constraint can be perverted without knowledge. Palm up and down is fine as far as it goes but up and down are relative terms. Up and down compared to what? The world? The swing plane? Something else?
Maybe this link will help illustrate what I mean.
The insider bat is a great hitting tool to use hitting off a tee or from soft tossing. The Ultimate Hitting Machine is another good soft toss machine that the Insider Bat can be used with.
I'm sure those two tools can be used effectively. I'm just as sure they can be used poorly without an understanding of the goal and what a good swing is. Superstarslugging doesn't seem to want to answer my question in the post above yours. Would you care to take a shot at it?
Well if you guys don't want to discuss it, I'd beg you please, since you are teaching kids to hit, to study the linked page. Then follow up all the links on that site comparing your hitting beliefs to video clips of elite hitters both in slow motion and full speed.
Superstarsslugging is the one selling the insider bat. Let him discuss it with you.
A lot of people like the insider bat, I was just stating that it is a good tool to use with the Ultimate Hitting Machine. Some people also use the one handed swing trainer bats with this machine.
Step on the launch pad to toss ball in the air, then load up.... and swing as ball starts back down.
"Superstarsslugging is the one selling the insider bat. Let him discuss it with you."
They did...and honestly to their credit. I'm not trying to be an @$$. I'm asking you and them to compare what they and you teach and promote to slow motion video of elite hitters to make sure you are not teaching kids something inefficient.
"A lot of people like the insider bat, I was just stating that it is a good tool to use with the Ultimate Hitting Machine. Some people also use the one handed swing trainer bats with this machine."
Most any gadget/constraint can be used well or poorly depending on the instructor's understanding and communication of that understanding to the hitter.
"Step on the launch pad to toss ball in the air, then load up.... and swing as ball starts back down."
Do you see this sort of post step hesitation in a good swing by good hitters?
I don't teach using the insider bat, and never stated that I did. Just saying, for the people that use it and like it, then the Ulimate Hitting Machine (www.shop.beebesports.com) may be a good product to use with the insider bat.
"Step on the launch pad to toss the ball in the air, then load up.....and swing as ball starts back down"
"Do you see this sort of post step hesitation in a good swing by good hitters?"
It's not a post step hesitation. The first step on the launch pad is to just launch the ball in the air. The machine can be adjusted to toss a ball to different heights, so a batter will have plenty of time to be ready to take a normal swing as ball starts back down. Works similiar to a person self tossing to them self, only the machine tosses the ball in the air. A good product for a kid to use daily to get a lot of swing reps in.
If you say so. The video I've seen using such equipment shows a kid stepping onto the trigger, freezing to wait on the ball and then rotating into the ball. When I've seen it used where the swing flowed, the hitter hit the ball on the way up. I can see where it could be useful and fun briefly with young ones. I wouldn't keep them on it.
Kind of looks like he's hitting the ball when it just reaches the peak of the toss.....ball just isn't being tossed high enough. Machine can be adjusted to toss balls higher than it shows on the video. The proper way to use this machine with best results is to wait (load up) after ball is tossed up, and hit it as it starts back down. Again, it works similiar to person self tossing to them self. Picture youself self tossing to your self. You get into hitting position, bat in one hand and you toss the ball in the air with other hand, then you swing at ball as it starts back down. Now, picture your self standing next to launch pad on this machine. You get into hitting position, step down on launch pad and ball pops up, you load up and swing as ball starts back down. Before a person starts hitting, they should adjust the height of the ball toss, according to how tall the person is hitting off it.

Report: Suspended players reject bounty settlement .
Published: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 10:06 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS -- Four players suspended in connection with the bounty scandal have rejected a settlement from the National Football League.
According to a report from ESPN.com, the suspended players -- Jonathan Vilma, Will Smith, Anthony Hargrove and Scott Fujita -- turned down a settlement offer from the league "because it required some acknowledge of cupability."
The players turned down the deal to have their suspensions reduced in exchange for admitting some guilt in the bounty scandal.
Paul Tagliabue, the former NFL commissioner who is overseeing the players' appeals, is expected to hand down his ruling by Thursday.

Irving v. Lipstadt
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|<< Case for the Defendants
|< Introduction
Case for Mr Irving
5.117Irving in his evidence adopted an equivocal attitude towards the covertly recorded words of General Bruns about events in Riga. He accepted that in general Bruns is reliable and credible, partly because he did not know his words were being recorded. Nevertheless, noting that Bruns at his trial had denied even having been present at the Riga shootings, there were parts of Bruns's recorded account which Irving discounted. In relation to Bruns's account of Altemeyer having said to him:Irving claimed that the first part means that Hitler had ordered that the mass killings had got to stop. But Irving dismissed the second part, that is, the instruction that the shooting should be done more cautiously in future as nothing more than a sneering aside by Altemeyer.
"Here's an order that's come, saying that mass shootings of this kind may no longer take place in future. That is to be done more cautiously now"
5.118Irving's reason for discounting these words is that Altemeyer was at the time a young officer in his early 20s and so likely to have fobbed off criticism by a senior officer of what he was doing by referring to "the Fuhrer's orders". It was, according to Irving "a throwaway line". Irving argued that his interpretation of Altemeyer's words is consistent with the intercepted message from Himmler to Jeckeln of 1 December 1941 requiring him to comply with the guidelines for dealing with deported German Jews.
5.119In contrast to his initial assessment of Bruns's reliability, Irving went so far in his cross-examination of Evans as to suggest that his account was third hand and, having been provided four years after the event, could not be treated as hard evidence.
5.120As to the number of casualties in Riga on 30 November 1941, Irving sought to justify the figure he gave in the text of Goebbels, namely 5,000, by a calculation of the number of corpses which could have been fitted into the pits which General Bruns described in his account of the shootings. If those pits measured 25 metres long by 3 metres wide and 2 metres deep, Irving worked out that, assuming 10 bodies per cubic metre, the pits would have accommodated in the region of 7,000 bodies. Evans expressed the view that such a calculation was meaningless because it contained so many assumptions, not least the assumption that the pits were only 2 metres deep. Irving added that he had not concealed the claim that there were over 28,000 deaths: the claim was in the footnote to which readers could refer.
5.121Irving rejected the Defendants' criticism of him for ignoring altogether in his writing about the Riga shootings the evidence of the widow of Schultz-Dubois, who had been responsible for transmitting a report by a young army officer protesting about the shootings to Admiral Canaris in order that the Admiral might bring it to the attention of Hitler. I understood Irving to say that, although the letter of Mrs Schultz-Dubois which contains this information is to be found on his website, he had not at the material time read it. Irving testified that, whilst he had in 1982 looked at parts of the book by Professor Fleming in which the letter of Frau Schultz-Dubois is quoted, he had not read that passage which at page 98 contains the quotation from her letter. It was put to Irving in cross-examination that the markings in his copy of Flening's book indicate that he read as far as page 104 and so would have read the contents of the letter at page 98. Irving denied that allegation.
5.122Irving did, however, agree that Hitler's reaction as recounted in the letter of Frau Schultz-Dubois is some evidence that Hitler considered it to be his task to kill the Jews. That, Irving agreed, must be what meant by Hitler's phrase "after me there will not be another one to do it [carry out the shooings]". But Canaris was known to be anti-Nazi and so, argued Irving, his report of Hitler's reaction to the report has to be discounted.

I stepped up on the next door neighbor�s porch and rang the doorbell. First there was nothing. Then the sounds came.
Ker plunk � slide � pause.
Ker plunk � slide � pause.
Ker plunk � slide � pause.
The Ker plunk was the sound of a light-weight object smashing a solid one. It was kind of like a foot smashing down on an �aluminum can� from the top down.
The door opened and there he was � Boyd McCune.
Boyd is a widowed, retired farmer and the noise he makes is from his walker. The walker is necessary because he has a bad, inoperable hip joint. I would surmise that Boyd goes through daily pain that would sideline an above-average pain-tolerating person. Yet, it doesn�t.
Every morning Boyd makes his way to his small red two-door Chevy pick-up truck. He drives the little red truck across town to the local coffee shop. In the City of Stafford that�s called the Ampride Fuel & Convenience Center.
Boyd meets fellow retirees at the Ampride and shortly afterwards makes the ride back home. Rarely does he miss a day.
There are so many examples of great inspiration but few better than Boyd.
He inspires me every morning � with every step.

Eating Green Won't Necessarily Help You Lose Weight
A new study finds that eating lots of fruits and vegetables may not actually tip the scale
Probably not. At least not all by themselves.
A new study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham found that eating fruits and vegetables actually has little to no impact on weight loss. Researchers examined data from more than 1,200 test subjects, and found that across the board, eating more healthy fruits and vegetables "had a near-zero effect on weight loss," said Kathryn Kaiser, of the UAB School of Public Health, who helped lead the team. Instead, the people who had the most success with losing extra pounds were those who cut their total calorie intake -- no matter what it was they were eating.
RELATED: 10 New Diet Myths & Facts
But while eating more green stuff won't help you lose pounds, it also won't make you gain weight, which may be just as important. Fruits and veggies, say researchers, can often fill you up and take the place of higher-calorie foods. And they're obviously a great source for getting your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. So don't skimp on the fruits and veggies just yet. [Tech Times]

10.1 Introduction to Forgery
The elements of forgery are: 1) falsifying a written instrument or possessing a falsified written instrument, and 2) the intent to deceive, defraud, or injure. State v. Brown, 235 Conn. 502, 509 (1995); State v. Widlak, 85 Conn. App. 84, 91-92 (2004); State v. Henderson, 47 Conn. App. 542, 551, cert. denied, 244 Conn. 908 (1998).
The term "written instrument" "encompasses every kind of document and other items deemed susceptible of deceitful use in a 'forgery' sense, the main requirement being that it be 'capable of being used to the advantage or disadvantage of some person.'" Commission to Revise the Criminal Statutes, Penal Code comments, Connecticut General Statutes Annotated (West 2007) § 53a-137, p. 322. See State v. Edwards, 201 Conn. 125, 149-52 (1986) (the written instrument was the fingerprint card which the defendant signed at the time of his arrest with a fake name to obtain the advantage of a lower bond).
The forgery instruction must be narrowly tailored to the allegations. In State v. Hahn, 207 Conn. 555, 561-63 (1988), the Court reversed the defendant's conviction for insufficient evidence because the charging document alleged that the defendant "falsely completed" a mortgage deed, but there was evidence that the deed was missing vital information and was therefore not complete.
The intent element ("to deceive, defraud or injure") is stated in the disjunctive so the intent could be any of the three. State v. Yurch, 37 Conn. App. 72, 80, appeal dismissed, 235 Conn. 469 (1995). "Deceive indicates an inculcating of one so that he takes the false as true, the unreal as existent, the spurious as genuine." Id. To defraud means "to take or withhold from (one) some possession, right or interest by calculated misstatement or perversion of truth, treachery, or other deception." Id., 81. "To defraud, then, means to deceive in order to cheat or to deceive in a manner calculated to cause injury." Id. Deceive does not require an intent to injure because then it would mean the same as defraud. "Our interpretation of an intent to deceive is supported by one of the purposes for the criminalization of forgery, which is to safeguard 'confidence in the genuineness of documents relied upon in commercial and business activities.' W. LaFave, Criminal Law (1972) § 90, p. 671." Id., 81 n.10. See also State v. DeCaro, 252 Conn. 229, 242 n.12 (2000) (deceive does not require an intent to injure). In DeCaro, it was sufficient to show that the defendant altered public documents in an effort to conceal her inadequate accounting and record keeping and not necessarily to conceal larcenous conduct.
Forgery in the second degree and fabricating physical evidence are separate offenses. State v. Servello, 80 Conn. App. 313, 320-24 (2003), cert. denied, 267 Conn. 914 (2004) (fabricating evidence is harm to the court, whereas forgery is harm to an individual).

Brad Meltzer—author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Book of Fate—returns with his most thrilling and emotionally powerful novel to date.
"So much harm comes into this world when the wrong thing is said. But that's nothing compared to the pain
from what goes unsaid."
In Chapter Four of the Bible, Cain kills Abel. It is the world's most famous murder. But the Bible is silent about one key detail: the weapon Cain used to kill his brother. That weapon is still lost to history.
In 1932, Mitchell Siegel was killed by three gunshots to his chest. While mourning, his son dreamed of a bulletproof man and created the world's greatest hero: Superman. And like Cain's murder weapon, the gun used in this unsolved murder has never been found.
Until now.

Brad Answers All
Q. Who Is Benoni?
Benoni is the name of Abel's dog. When Abel died, the dog was given to Cain. Known as Canaan dogs, the line of man's original best friend still exists today.
The Canaan dog began in ancient times as a Pariah dog in Israel. It belongs to one of the most ancient family of dogs, and most likely Benoni's breed, the Spitz.
The Canaan Dog, also known as Kelev K'naani, is a recent breed out of ancient Pariah dog stock similar to Benoni. Dog experts and world authorities on Pariah Dogs, Drs. Rudolph and Rudolphina Menzel, developed the Canaan dog from redomesticated Pariah dog stock captured in the Palestine.
Much like Benoni's owners Cain and Abel, the Israelis have used the Canaan dog for guard duties, as messengers and as helpers.
The Canaan is an intelligent, trainable breed with keen senses of hearing and smell as well as excellent tracking ability. The Canaan dog, such as its earliest ancestor Benoni, is a medium-sized, sturdy, squarely proportioned dog with a bushy tail carried curled over the back when the dog is alert. The head is shaped like a blunt wedge with a shallow, but defined stop. The nose is dark and slightly slanted. The eyes are almond-shaped with dark rims and slant slightly. The pricked ears have a broad base, rounded tip, and are set high.
It is a very hardy breed, well-adapted to the deserts. Drawings of similar looking dogs were found in tombs dated to the 2200 BC and the caves of Einan and Hayonim are the sites in which the oldest remains of dogs have been found, from more than 10,000 years ago. Along with Benoni's service of Cain and Abel, in the Bible there are a number of references to roaming dogs and dogs in the service of man.
Q. THE BOOK OF LIES is based on two true stories that remain mysteries: the murder of Abel by his brother Cain and the unsolved murder of Mitchell Siegel, whose son went on to create Superman. Why do these two murders fascinate you and how are they connected in your mind – and in this new book?
Every writer has a story they've been waiting their whole life to tell. This is mine. We are a country founded on our own legends and myths, and in this election year, where everyone is pushing hope, what's crazy to me is that we still don't know which of these myths are real.
Cain is known as one of the world's worst villains, but maybe he's not the bad guy in the story. And why did the world get Superman? Because a little boy named Jerry Siegel heard his father was murdered and, in grief, created a bulletproof man. These stories — about Cain and Abel, about Superman — are not just folklore. They're stories about us. Our heroes and villains tell us who we are. And sometimes we need to find the truth, even if it means revealing our own vulnerabilities.
Q. How did his father's murder lead Jerry Siegel to create the man of steel and why did he never talk about this during his lifetime?
For the past 70 years, the public has been told that Superman was created by two teenagers in Cleveland. And that's true. Action Comics was published in 1938. But what no one realizes is that Superman was actually created in 1932, just weeks after Jerry Siegel's father was killed in a robbery. So why does no one know the story? Because Jerry Siegel never told anyone.
Q. As a comics books author in addition to your work as a novelist, how has the legend of Superman influenced your work and why is it the perfect myth for America?
For the past 70 years, the public has been told that Superman was created by two teenagers in Cleveland. And that's true. Action Comics was published in 1938. But what no one realizes is that Superman was actually created in 1932, just weeks after Jerry Siegel's father was killed in a robbery. So why does no one know the story? Because Jerry Siegel never told anyone.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Declaring that his conservative state had knocked California off its perch as the nation's business leader, Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Monday bragged that the Golden State is now "looking at our backside."
A year after his failed presidential bid, Perry returned to the West Coast on Friday for visits to San Francisco, Silicon Valley and Los Angeles in an attempt to lure businesses to Texas following a statewide ad campaign last week. It's part of a push by low-tax states to entice California millionaires hit by recent tax hikes that have the state's wealthiest stomaching the highest income tax rate in the nation.
In a wide-ranging interview with this newspaper, the Republican politician fired return shots at California Gov. Jerry Brown, said his state capital of Austin is poised to become the "next Silicon Valley" and characterized California as a great state that has lost its way.
"Some time in the past, California became uncompetitive with other states because of their tax (and) regulatory policies in particular," said Perry, wearing a red tie, dress shirt, slacks and sneakers in a downtown San Francisco hotel room.
Perry did not disclose the names of the businesses he was meeting with and will not hold public events, but he was more than eager to pump up what he described as the Lone Star State's best qualities for business: low taxes, few regulations and lenient labor laws, which he said California lacks.
"Twelve years ago, California wasn't looking over its shoulder," he said. "They're not looking over their shoulder now -- they're looking at our backside."
At 6.1 percent, Texas has a lower unemployment rate than California's 9.8 percent jobless rate, and several California companies such as Apple (AAPL), Facebook, eBay (EBAY), Visa and Chevron have chosen recently to expand or relocate offices to Texas, largely for economic reasons. But the Golden State is still leading the way in many other key areas.
Compared to Texas, California has a 3-to-2 edge in the number of companies, a higher percentage of residents with college degrees, a 21 percent higher median household income, a smaller portion of residents in poverty and median home values that are three times higher.
Perhaps most important, the Bay Area had $2.5 billion in venture capital funding in the fourth quarter of last year -- 12 times as much as the entire state of Texas.
"Silicon Valley has that quiet confidence. It's knowing you're No. 1 so you don't have to brag about it," said Carl Guardino, CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. "It doesn't take going out and trying to lure the scrappy startups or established enterprises to come here. They do that on their own."
After Perry last week launched 30-second radio ads in California in which he characterized the Golden State as a nearly impossible place to do business, Brown dismissed the campaign as "barely a fart," since the airtime was worth only $24,000.
"It was colorful," Perry said. "It was awesome. He got a lot of coverage. He helped the effort."
Perry also lambasted Brown's signature effort -- November's Proposition 30 tax increase, which helped balance California's battered general-fund budget -- and said Californians would come to regret passing the measure when they have less money left over.
The Texas governor emphasized that he liked California and its history -- he vacations here and visited during his run for the GOP nomination for president, he said -- but that the state was headed in the wrong direction because of what he described as a pro-tax, anti-corporate culture that has made the state's business climate "abysmal."
Brown's spokesman, Gil Duran, noted in an email Monday that "last year, Texas Instruments invested $2 million in an electronic design lab at UC Berkeley. Dell -- another Texas company -- expanded its operations in Silicon Valley. Samsung is building a cutting-edge research and development facility in San Jose, not San Antonio."
Duran added: "We hope Gov. Perry enjoys his visit to the Golden State."

Develop your French skills
Published: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 12:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 12:11 p.m.
Local French speakers who are interesting in preserving and developing the French language and culture in southeast Louisiana have a place to bond.
Cercle Francophone is a group founded by Robin White, a Nicholls State University faculty member.
White said the group's goal is to use, practice, hear and communicate in French. White says beginners are welcome, but may play a role of listener since participation involves speaking in French.
The group meets from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Tuesdays in the Wetlands Acadian Culture Center, 314 St. Mary St. in Thibodaux.
On the second Tuesday of each month, the group meets in 206 Peltier Hall on the Nicholls campus.

The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby Chapter 1 Summary
- We meet our narrator. Hello, narrator!
- First thing he does is pass along some of his father's advice: "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had" (1.2).
- Great, we love a book that begins with a lecture.
- We learn that our narrator is non-judgmental. As a result, people tell him their life stories like he's a bartender on Cheers.
- We find out that he is "a Carraway," which apparently means that he's got wealth and class. And he went to Yale.
- Ooh, fancy.
- This Carraway fellow introduces us to the setting: New York City and the twin villages of West Egg and East Egg in Long Island.
- Please note that West Egg, where Carraway lives, is not as fancy-shmancy as East Egg. But it's still pretty fancy-shmancy compared to the rest of the world.
- On this "less fashionable" Egg, Nick Carraway lives next to a huge mansion inhabited by a mysterious Mr. Gatsby. More on him later.
- By the way, Nick Carraway is "bond man." Not, like, posting bail, but trading stocks and bonds. In other words, he's a stockbroker/ financier type.
(Click the summary infographic to download.)
- Nick heads over to East Egg to have dinner with Daisy, his second cousin once removed, and her husband, Tom Buchanan, an old college buddy.
- The Buchanans have tons of money, and Nick likes to tell us all about it.
- We see that Tom is a rather large and "aggressive" former football player. In other words, this guy is not the sensitive, lyric-writing type.
- We then meet two women dressed in white – Daisy, of course, and her friend, Jordan Baker.
- Daisy and Tom have a child, who spends the majority of her two-year-old time sleeping in the other room.
- How convenient.
- When, in friendly cocktail conversation, Nick casually mentions Gatsby, Daisy gets particularly interested.
- In general, Daisy spends Chapter 1 being happy and excited about life and having a bruise that Tom accidentally gave her.
- There's also talk of the peculiar qualities of her excited little voice.
- The following is a rather dramatic scene: Tom gets a phone call, Daisy freaks out and goes to yell at him, and Jordan reveals that Tom is messing around on the side.
- Not only that, but he's messing around with a woman tactless enough to call his house all the time to ask what's up. We get the feeling that the tactless bit is the real problem.
- Daisy comes back and talks about when her daughter was born: Tom wasn't there, and she wished that her daughter would be a "beautiful little fool"—i.e., too dumb to know any better.
- It turns out that Jordan is an athlete (golf). Nick feels like he's heard about her before, but he can't remember the story. You guess it: more on that later.
- Daisy then jokes about Jordan and Nick getting together. LOL!
- When Nick finally gets home to West Egg, he notices that his neighbor, Mr. Gatsby, is out chilling on the lawn and maybe contemplating the addition of some plastic flamingoes to his "blue lawn." Why is the lawn always blue? Good question.
- Except that Gatsby is not just chilling and thinking about flamingoes. He stares across the water at a lone green light before stretching his arm out towards it oh-so-symbolically. (Really. Check out our "Symbols" section for more about that green light.)

The benefits of advance retirement planning.
Presented by MidAmerica Financial Resources
You've probably been told at least a few times in your life that you should be putting money aside "for a rainy day", but perhaps it hasn't yet crossed your mind to begin planning, specifically, for your future retirement. If you think it's too early, or if you feel you're not yet ready, financially … think again. Even with a certain amount of debt from car payments, student loans, and living expenses, there are several different ways that a young person can invest their money (and their time) wisely.
While it's true that some people begin investing later in life and still manage to enjoy comfortable returns on their investments, one only needs to see a few friends have financial troubles to realize that things don't always work out that way. Investing earlier in life can sometimes make the difference between retiring when you are ready and retiring when you are able; while you may be healthy well into your senior years, that's not always guaranteed.
401(k)s and Roth IRAs. Many employers offer 401(k) plans, which are retirement savings accounts. You may be fortunate enough to find a job where the employer offers matching contributions to the plan. 401(k) plans are fairly versatile and, since the contributions are generally not taxed until disbursement, your take home pay may not seem quite so diminished.1
Another investment which can go a long way is the Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Since the money is taxed before deposit, the funds can be enjoyed tax-free upon retirement. One other feature is flexibility: you have the option to withdraw the money you have deposited (though not the earnings) without penalties, making the Roth IRA a potential source of emergency funds.2
As you consider these options, it is important to note that funds from a 401k will be taxed as ordinary income upon withdrawal. Withdrawals made before age 59 ½ may be subject to a 10% penalty. To qualify for the tax free penalty free withdrawal of earnings from a Roth IRA, it must be in place for at least five tax years, and the distribution must take place after age 59 1/2 or due to death, disability, or a first time home purchase (up to $10,000 lifetime maximum). Before taking any specific action, be sure to consult with your tax professional.
A powerful force. Perhaps the greatest advantage to investing at an early age is the effect that compound interest can have on your savings. A long disputed quote has Albert Einstein claiming that compound interest "is the most powerful force in the universe." Regardless of who actually said it, there is some truth to the joke.
What makes compound interest special? It is interest based not only on the principal, but from previously accrued interest. In the short term, it's not terribly impressive, but over thirty years or more, it can produce a handsome dividend.
Great minds have been fascinated with compound interest for generations. Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, who liked to posit that a penny saved was a penny earned, decided to put it to the test. At his death in 1790, he bequeathed £1000.00 each to the cities of Boston and Philadelphia, with intent to build trade schools and public works projects in one-hundred years' time. Compound interest did the trick, netting $572,000 for those cities in 1891. The fund was closed in 1990, with institutes named for the statesman and scientist earning a $7 million dollar bounty.3
Making it work for you. If you were to place a small sum of money into a bank account that offers compound interest and leave it alone for a long period of time as Franklin did, your money would grow. For example: $100.00 left alone in the bank for thirty years at a 10% annual compounded interest rate would multiply to $1,744.94.4
However, if you were to add money to the account over time, the compounded interest would only grow and could create a very healthy supplement to whatever other retirement plans you may have in place. Say that you started with $1000.00 in an account offering 15% interest; an account you added $600.00 to per year ($50.00 a month). In 40 years, if you kept up your deposits, the account would hold $1,495,435.86.4
Things to consider. These are hypothetical situations; you may be able to contribute more or less money as time goes on. You may find an account that earns a different level of interest. Inflation needs to be considered as well; just as a million dollars today doesn't get you as far as it did forty years ago, it may not seem like a lot of money once you're ready to retire.
There is no guaranteed path to financial security, but a young person has advantages that shouldn't be squandered. A combination of investments, with an eye to the long-term, can make all the difference.

Photo Essay: The Havre de Grace Decoy Museum
Enjoy our visual tour of the museum
Waterfowl hunting has a long, rich history, which can be traced by the gear used by waterfowlers. As technology changed, waterfowl hunting changed as well. From vintage guns and boats to calls and decoys, one of the largest collections of classic waterfowling gear and one of the best places to learn about waterfowling history is the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum in Havre de Grace, Maryland, one of America's favorite "
duck towns
The Havre de Grace Decoy Festival Committee held their first gathering on May 14, 1982, with the goal of establishing a museum. The dean of Upper Bay decoy makers, R. Madison Mitchell, served as honorary chairman. Seven years later, he presided over the grand opening of the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum. The town is now known as the "Decoy Capital of the World." Open daily to visitors, the museum currently boasts a membership of nearly 1,000 people.
The Havre de Grace Decoy Festival will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year. This event have been visited by tens of thousands of decoy collectors and waterfowling enthusiasts over the years, including U.S. presidents, state governors, business leaders, hunting enthusiasts, art lovers, history buffs, tourists, and more.
Each exhibit documents a part of waterfowling history that many visitors may have never seen or heard of before. Major displays showcase vintage and contemporary decoys, their makers, and how these "counterfeit waterfowl" were made. A superb collection of other early paraphernalia such as a sinkbox, sneak boat, punt guns, and battery guns are also displayed. Included are 4-, 6- and 8-gauge shotguns outlawed decades ago.
Visitors entering the museum are greeted by a historic decoy rig from the early 1900s. Roughly 200 wooden decoys are displayed in a layout boat, as they would have been transported at that time. The rig was assembled and used by Frank "Homerun" Baker from Trappe, Maryland. Frank played on the New York Yankees with fellow Hall of Famer Babe Ruth (who was also an avid duck hunter). The museum will soon publish a book on Baker and his decoys.
Next is an elaborate display of decoy-making equipment once used by master carvers. Audio-visual stations explain the decoy-making process step by step, offering a firsthand look at the fine craftsmanship that went into each decoy. A wood walkway provides an overview of vintage equipment used by waterfowlers of that era.
The second floor of the museum showcases hundreds of decoys by Chesapeake Bay-area carvers. The works of every major decoy carver—both past and present—are on display, as well as the complete collections of many of the most renowned.
Legendary figures such as Mitchell, Charles Bryan, and Paul Gibson have been honored with life-size wax likenesses.
Also housed on the second floor is an extensive library of decoy-related books and documents, which are available to members for perusal and research purposes.
Returning to the ground floor, the museum's gift shop provides an opportunity to pick up a souvenir or a decoy produced by one of many local craftsmen.
Finally, before leaving the grounds, you won't want to miss the R. Madison Mitchell Decoy Shop. This is the original building where Mitchell made his now-famous decoys. The building was relocated to the museum site and is preserved in its original condition.
0 The 30th Annual Havre de Grace Decoy Festival will be held on May 6-8, 2011. The format and venue have been enhanced to include not only decoys and wildfowl art but also waterfowl hunting and conservation exhibits. For more information, please call 410-939-3739 or visit the museum's website at
. Of course, visitors are always welcome to stop by the museum.

Saturday, 19 February 2011
(Reuters) - Russia's Chechnya region has asked state workers to dress conservatively, including headscarves for women and an Islamic dress code on Fridays, in its leaders' latest assertion of Muslim customs.
"We recommend that male state workers come to work in a suit and tie, and that women dress in a skirt below the knee and the appropriate headgear," Chechen government deputy head Magomed Selimkhanov told reporters.
On Fridays -- the main day for prayers in Islam -- employees of both sexes should observe "a traditional Muslim dress code", meaning covered arms and legs. Selimkhanov said his "recommendation" was "purely advisory". News agency Caucasian Knot reported that he had signed a document stating Muslim dress was "essential" for state workers.

United States Department of Agriculture
Agricultural Research Service
1a.Objectives (from AD-416)
1. To develop single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) resources for the molecular characterization Theobroma cacao germplasm. This approach will utilize cacao accessions that have been shown to have different physiological, morphological and molecular characteristics. Random SNP analysis of the entire genome is hypothesized to greatly facilitate the identification of molecular markers for particular traits of interest. These markers will improve the efficiency and reliability for cacao genotyping and utilization of cacao germplasm in breeding programs. Furthermore, this technology could greatly improve our understanding of the genetic diversity that exists in the cacao population and thus promote rational conservation of cacao genetic resources.
2. To develop genomic and expression bases analyses of Theobroma cacao germplasm.
1b.Approach (from AD-416)
CIRAD actively promotes sustainable cacao production through cacao research. This specific cooperative agreement (SCA) will emphasize the coordination of research approaches of the USDA/ARS and CIRAD and promote the use of new technological breakthroughs such as SNP analysis to improve the utilization and conservation of unique cacao germplasm. The agreement promotes international partnerships and cooperation with the USDA-ARS.

DENTON, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi dance team took first place in Division I at the 2012 American Dance/Drill Team Collegiate Championship today, hosted by the University of North Texas. The Islanders topped Northwestern State, which finished just one point ahead of the Islanders at last year's competition.
"I am so proud of our team," Head Cheer and Dance Coach Melanie Lowry said. "All of our hard work this year paid off with today's result. The girls worked so hard and they have earned the right to say that they took first place at nationals. This is a great day for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi and our dance program."
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi scored a 286 at the event. Northwestern State was first runner up at the competition. Soloist Irene Cornejo finished third at the event among 14 individuals among all divisions. The Islanders also collected fifth place in the academic championship for their performance in the classroom.
Full results will be posted later this evening on the ADTS website.

G4FanControl is an useful Application that can be used to specify a certain minimum temperature limit that much be reached before the fans on a iBook/PowerBook G4 laptop start up.Default temperature limits will be restored by Mac OS X in the event of a reboot.

My powerbook has begun to whirr like hell from the power supply when connected to power (battery is dead so...), even when using Reduced setting. I can now only run for about 2 hours on the reduced setting, doing moderate work, before the screen garbles up and locks. Probably a graphics card overheating.
Have also underclocked the ATI card 30% (!!), no dice. This is my last hope before having to crack it open and slap on some cooling goo :)
I did the opposite, and set my temperature threshold lower in order to keep my computer cooler. This will have a detrimental effect on battery life, but may just save your lap.
This is a fantastic app but just remember to use it wisely. There are sensors on a Mac for a very good reason - so that it doesn't overheat and burn your lap or a hole in your table! I tweaked the settings very slightly and now my fan hardly comes on but it's still at a safe temp.

DISCOVERY BAY -- As the town looks at millions of dollars in water and wastewater system improvements over the next few years, five men are vying for spots on the Community Services District board to lead the process.
Incumbents Mark Simon, Ray Tetreault and Jim Mattison are running for three seats on the district board against challengers Michael Temby and Bill Pease. Mattison, Simon and Pease are running for two four-year seats, while Tetreault and Temby square off for a two-year seat.
Discovery Bay is looking to improve its aging water capacity and distribution system, moving to sell about $14 million in municipal bonds for a new water well and five wastewater projects. The added water capacity will also help accommodate the growth the far East Contra Costa community is anticipating once the housing market returns.
Simon, 62, is seeking re-election because wants to be continue to lead the district through the "pivotal" water projects. The board has also improved its relationship with the community over the past four years compared with the "fractured, ineffective" one it was in 2008, he said.
"The board right now has five personalities that are opposites of each other, but works well together," Simon said. "We all have our opinions, but can come to a common ground."
Simon says he has a tendency to play devil's advocate and ask questions about "What if everything goes wrong."
"I think it actually becomes a positive thing. It seems to work," Simon said.
The next few years are going to be pivotal in Discovery Bay as developers start building again and the town grows, he said.
Since being appointed in April, Mattison says he's learned a lot about the functions of a community service district and that the Discovery Bay board was far less contentious than he had heard it was in the past.
"It's been a really neat experience," he said.
Along with the need for improving the old water system, Mattison, 53, said he wants to continue to work to create a good parks and recreation program in Discovery Bay, something the town is currently lacking.
He hopes to look at how the town as a "water-based community" could possibly create a beach and venues to rent kayaks and other watercraft.
Mattison, an 18-year resident who works in commercial real estate, also hopes to make progress on a long-sought community center and create other activities for youth and seniors.
"It's a good time to move forward a little bit on stuff that have been talked about for years and years," he said.
Pease, a retired business owner who has owned a home in Discovery Bay for 12 years but started living in town permanently the past year-and-a-half, is running because he says he has the time, ability and desire the guide the district.
The former Fremont city councilman from 1996 to 2004 says he believes in contributing to the community where you live.
"I think I can bring a common-sense approach to the district's decision making," Pease said. "We need to make sure that expenditures are done prudently and in a fiscally responsible manner."
Pease, 63, says most residents probably don't even realize that the town is raising as much money as it is through bond proceeds for the water improvements.
"We can't just say 'Let's go ahead and get this,' but we have to talk about all the bells and whistles and justify them, so we get done all that we need to get done," he said.
Discovery Bay must also be more thorough in the hiring process for project contractors, he said.
Tetreault is seeking re-election to the two-year seat after again being elected to the board in 2008. He served on the board six years before losing in 2006.
"I still have that fire in the belly," he said.
Tetreault, 65, says he's been involved in working with the district's budget during his time on the board.
Discovery Bay has made a lot of strides in the past four years, Tetreault said, including contracting with Veolia to manage its water and wastewater system, improving town landscaping, adding recreation amenities and hiring a new general manager,
"We wanted to get the district to a new level of professionalism," he said. "We've made some really good end roads and I'd like to continue at that."
Temby, a local Realtor, says he is passionate about the town and wants to be involved with helping shape the growth that is expected in Discovery Bay over the next few years.
"There are a lot of builders gearing up, and we need to be able to handle that growth," Temby, 54, said.
The 23-year resident, who raised his family in the town and is active with the Patriots Jets Team, points out that the board is specifically responsible for parks, landscaping, water and wastewater and not other matters in Discovery Bay.
"I don't want people to confuse or convolute (the district's role) with anything else," Temby said.
Having reliable water and wastewater is important to the quality of life of town residents and local property values, he said.

Hundreds of Veterans Day ceremonies happened across the country today.
Many right here in the wiregrass.
Veterans Day is a time to honor those in our military who have served our country and made it home safely.
Today, one local VFW post wants to ensure veterans in our area know they are appreciated.
Dozens came from all across the wiregrass to say only a few words.
"Thank you for your service," says Mike Schmitz, Mayor City of Dothan.
Words that take so little time to say but mean so much to these veterans.
"If you see a veteran, you would be surprised even in Wal-Mart, if you walk up to them and go hey, I want to thank you for the service for our country, I guarantee you a big smile will come on his face," says Ed Pritchard Coordinator of the Wiregrass Veterans Alliance.
Several city, county, and state elected officials came to honor those who haved served and are still serving our country.
Hoping those who are not military remember the struggle of those serving.
:35 mark culver
"we should not take that or other freedoms for granted. And should be reminded everyday, and not just today on veterans day," says Houston County Commission Chairman Mark Culver.
At the ceremony a wreath was laid in honor of Jason Barfield, a young man from the wiregrass who served in the military and was killed in Afghanistan a little over a year ago.
His family says they were honored to be a part of the ceremony.
"Seeing how Jason has touched so many lives, around this area and beyond, I am honored to be his mom," says Kelli Barfield, Mother of Fallen Soldier Jason Barfield.
After the service, many of the veterans got a chance to come inside of the post and eat lunch, many of them say it's well worth the service knowing they are appreciated.
"I was very appreciative, because being a veteran, you don't just think of veterans on veterans day you think about them the whole year, but this gives us one day where we can express our opinion and celebrate, veterans day, because that's the veterans that came back," says Senior Vice Chairman John Seay of VFW Post 3073.
Veterans who are delighted to serve but want to be thanked for their willingness to protect our freedom.
At the ceremony, many shed tears remembering the ones they served next to in combact who did not make it home safely, they wanted them to know they are always in their thoughts.

Linux Conference Australia - Four days and counting!
By Terri Wischmann-Oracle on Jan 13, 2010
The new year has arrived and I haven't blogged in quite some time so I thought I would start out the new year informing people about a great open source event that is taking place in New Zealand - where my co-worker Glynn Foster resides.. (Kiwi is what they refer to Glynn here in the states)
Glynn actually does have involvement here, hence the mention of him. So, the event I wanted to mention is the Linux Conference Australia - it will be taking place next week January 18th-23rd. The conference will have two OpenSolaris related tracks - ZFS in the Data Storage and Retrieval miniconf and Sourcejuicer in the Distro miniconf. This is great exposure for OpenSolaris within the Linux Community.
About Linux Conference Australia
linux.conf.au is a conference about Open Source Software, including Linux that brings together the world's community of Linux enthusiasts who contribute to the Linux operating system and the vast array of free and open source software that is transforming information technology across the globe.This is the 2nd time LCA has been held in New Zealand, with Dunedin hosting the conference in 2006. Hosted each year in one of Australasia's major centres, in 2010 linux.conf.au will be hosted by New Zealand's capital city, Wellington.
Registrations will open on Sunday 17 January in the early afternoon. linux.conf.au will begin with two days of Miniconfs: Monday 18 January and Tuesday 19 January 2010. Miniconfs cater to a wide range of special interests from the Linux kernel to gaming, wireless security to OpenOffice.org, education to virtualisation.
The main conference runs from Wednesday 20 January to Friday 22 January 2010. Each day will open with a keynote and will consist of multiple streams of presentations, tutorials, and birds of a feather. There will plenty of choice throughout.
Saturday 23 January is the Open Day, where IT experts will be given the opportunity to showcase their products/services in the format of either a display or exhibition. The Open Day will introduce the public to free and open source software. It is the perfect place to learn about the linux community and to play with emerging technologies.
Check out the schedule and attend the conference if you happen to be in New Zealand next week!! Have a pint or two with Glynn if you are there!

Knitter's Review
July 19, 2007
Socks weren't mentioned in last week's summer reading list, even though there are dozens of great sock books on the market right now. But I have even bigger plans for socks.
This week I kick off a multiple-week Summer of Socks series with a super duper beginner top-down sock tutorial for anybody who hasn't yet tried sock knitting.

MLAB Lightning '02 OPEN TRYOUTS!!!
Tuesday, Dec. 18th 6:30-8:30 PM
MLAB Baseball and Softball Academy is located just off of I45 in Spring, Tx at 3332 Spring Stuebner Rd.
It's location in North Houston makes it an easy communte from the local surrounding areas such as Conroe, The Woodlands, Humble, Tomball, and Klein.
Our academy features a fully grassed field (which reduces practice rain outs) complete with lights and an indoor training facility with pitching lanes and batting cages w/ pitching machines.
MLAB has had many years of success with their Elite and Select baseball programs, led by Coach Jason Clark. Jason and his wife Sara decided in early 2012 to expand their program into softball.
In Feb. of this year, their inaugural team was constructed and went on to place 4th in the USFA Nationals located in Longview, TX under the direction of the team's current head coach.
The team is anchored now by several experienced members of that team and is in search of a few more girls to help them carry on.
MLAB's '02 10U Lightning is led by Coach Corey Houghton. In addition to his multiple years of playing competitive sports, he has 12 years of experience coaching softball, ranging from 6U all the way up to a high school squad. He spent 2 years as an assistant for a high school squad that won south state and state both years in the Mississippi Private School Association. Coach Corey understands the dynamics of the sport and is dedicated to player development and growth. He possesses a deep passion for coaching young athletes and is highly motivated.
MLAB has recently established a partnership with Coach Leslie Macaluso for her to become our pitching coach. Coach Macaluso played select ball as well as high school softball where she was named Freshman of the Year and 1st Team All District all 4 years. Coach Macaluso went on to compete in Div.
