AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- Derek Varnadore and the rest of Auburn's
pitchers can't hide from head coach John Pawlowski during practice.
Pawlowski, a former professional pitcher, has taken on much of
the duties working with his former position this season.
"We've got to get it right," Vanadore said Thursday. "He's
standing over our shoulders so there's kind of a little more
pressure on you, which is good. It puts a little more emphasis on
the work in the mid-week."
Pawlowski has been emphasizing pitching since last fall after
the Tigers gave up far too many runs during the 2011 season, and
it's paying off so far. Auburn (17-11, 6-3 Southeastern Conference)
has won its opening three league series for the first time since
2003 going into this weekend's visit to Alabama.
If pitching was to blame for some of Auburn's struggles last
season, it gets much of the credit for the early success.
The Tigers' 2.33 earned run average in SEC games is nearly a run
better than No. 2 LSU (3.23). Auburn now ranks 48th nationally in
team ERA, up from 193nd last season.
"We spent a lot of time trying to get those guys to understand
that that's how you win," said Pawlowski, who had brief major
league stints with the Chicago White Sox in 1987 and 1988. "You
win if you can pitch."
The Tigers' rotation has gotten a big boost from the emergence
of Sunday starter Daniel Koger, a freshman who is 2-1 but ranks
fourth in the league with a 1.85 ERA.
"When he got here in the fall and started to go out there and
work, you could see he had a better feel for pitching, and poise,"
Pawlowski said. "We thought he'd have a chance to be a guy for us.
We made a decision that we were going to run him out there and see
how he handled it.
"He's done a very good job of handling the distractions that go
along with being a freshman in the weekend rotation. He's just kind
of oblivious to all the stuff going on. He's got that tunnel vision
for what he needs to do.
Saturday starter Will Kendall (4-0, 2.14) has made a big
turnaround since pitching in only five games as a freshman, all
Auburn losses.
Varnadore (1-3, 4.06) has struggled to get Friday wins after
sporting the Tigers' lowest ERA last season but still leads Auburn
in innings pitched.
The SEC rotation has been strong enough that Jon Luke Jacobs
(4-0, 2.08) has been relegated to mid-week starter despite
impressive numbers.
"We have so much more depth on the team this year," Varnadore
said. "We've got a little more experience on the pitching staff
than we did last year. We've got numerous options we can go to in
the (bullpen)."
Pawlowski's assuming more of the pitching duties this season has
allowed assistant Scott Foxhall to spend more time out recruiting,
even missing games and practices if necessary.
Pawlowski said the focus has been on keeping things simple.
"Sometimes we're looking for so many answers and we're trying
so many different things, it seems like sometimes we're looking in
the wrong direction," he said.
"Instead of too complex, let's see how simple we can make it.
"We've really tried to simplify their plans. Let them continue
to repeat their strengths out there."

SIKESTON - The Veterans of Foreign Wars Blue Star program is now under way in Missouri.
The Blue Star tradition originated in World War I. Dating back to 1917, Congressional records state: "The world should know of those who gave so much for liberty."
Also known as the Service Flag, the Blue Star represents hope and pride, VFW officials said.
"These Blue Star flags and placards were proudly displayed by families who had sons or husbands serving in active military service and were a visible statement of support for American military forces," said David Cartner, senior vice commander of VFW District 15.
"The Veterans of Foreign Wars, Department of Missouri, has reinstituted this program and will distribute window placards to those families who currently have a loved one serving in the armed forces." Cartner said this is especially important now that American military personnel once again find themselves in harm's way in action against tyranny and oppression in a foreign land.
VFW Post 3174 in Sikeston has a modest supply of Blue Star placards available for distribution to area families. Call 471-7575 to obtain a placard.

Lies and Deceit Quotes in Freedom
How we cite our quotes: (Book.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
She tried hard to be a good wife, and to please her very good husband, but a full accounting of the success of her efforts must include the e-mails that she and Richard began to exchange within days of his departure, and the permission she somehow gave him, a few weeks after that, to get on a plane to Minneapolis and go up to Nameless Lake with her while Walter was hosting another V.I.P. trip in the Boundary Waters. She immediately deleted the email with Richard's flight information, as she'd deleted the others, but not before memorizing the flight number and arrival time.
A week before the date, she repaired to the lake in solitude and gave herself entirely to derangement. It consisted of getting stumbling drunk every evening, awakening later in panic and remorse and indecision, then sleeping through the morning, then reading novels in a suspended state of false calm, then jumping up and pacing for an hour or more in the vicinity of the telephone, trying to decide whether to call Richard and tell him not to come, and finally opening a bottle to make the whole thing go away for a few hours. (2.3.530-531)
Did you read the above quote and think, "Well, here's the perfect illustration"? We call it, "Why Lying Is A Bad Idea – Because It Makes You Feel Like This." The lie never stops, you know? It's not like one mistake, which you can just walk away from. In a way, by lying to Walter, Patty will be continually cheating on him (until she confesses what happened).
Quote #5
She'd flown to Philadelphia on Thursday, in order to spend, as she carefully told Walter, an actual day on her own as a tourist. Taking a cab to the city center, she was pierced unexpectedly by regret for not doing exactly that: not walking the streets as an independent adult woman, not cultivating an independent life, not being a sensible and curious tourist instead of a love-chasing madwoman. (2.3.554)
This brings us back to freedom, as Patty feels imprisoned by her betrayal. But it's specifically her lies to Walter that bring the divergent paths into sharp relief.
Quote #6
Having sworn to Jonathan that he wouldn't have sex with Jenna, Joey felt insured against every contingency in Argentina. If nothing happened, it would prove him honorable. If something did happen, he would not have to be chagrined and disappointed that something hadn't. (3.5.326)
So let's see: Joey swears that he won't do the thing he most wants to do, but that probably won't happen. So then if nothing happens, he'll have told the truth. And if something does happen, the awesomeness of that result will outweigh the guilt of having lied (you know, to his best friend… about having sex with his best friend's sister). Well, we certainly know where his priorities lie.

New Arctic Butterfly – 06.23.06
I first wrote about the Arctic Butterfly about a year ago. A portable, self charging version of Sensor Brush which was cute, but simply couldn't travel without self destructing. I received the new Arctic Butterfly a month ago but before I wrote about it, I wanted to travel with it. You see, it's a HUGE improvement on the original. The case, on/off switch and brush enclosure are all VASTLY improved. It does not self destruct like the original! I HIGHLY recommend you go buy one if you're a digital shooter, it's worth every penny!

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services expects the scenario for European automotive suppliers to remain largely unchanged in the last quarter of 2006. Industry conditions are likely to remain tough, mainly for the same reasons as in past months: strong pressure from OEMs, difficult trading conditions, and high raw-material prices, among other factors. In some cases, the intensity and features of these factors show contrasting signals, but it is too early to assess whether we are nearing a change in underlying trends. The number of European automotive suppliers rated by Standard & Poor's has grown in recent months to 14 (see chart 1), with the assignment of ratings to French car rental company Europcar Groupe S.A.

This suspension will likely last until Barrick gets its act together and cleans up the mes.. However, SLW will not be too badly affected...SLW is a buy here.
Pascua-Lama Barrick Gold Corporation Chile/Argentina 25% - Life of Mine 2009-09-08
Lagunas Norte Barrick Gold Corporation Peru 100% - 4 years 6 2009-09-08
Pierina Barrick Gold Corporation Peru 100% - 4 years 6 2009-09-08
Veladero Barrick Gold Corporation Argentina 100% 7 - 4 years 6 2009-09-08
Barrick will deliver to Silver Wheaton silver production from the currently producing mines until December 31, 2013. In addition, during 2014 and 2015, Silver Wheaton will be entitled to all or a portion of the silver production from these mines to the extent of any production shortfall relative to the production guarantee levels at Pascua-Lama, until Barrick satisfies the completion guarantee.
To acquire 25% of the life of mine silver production from Barrick's Pascua-Lama project, as well as 100% of the silver production from its Lagunas Norte, Pierina and Veladero mines until the end of 2013, Silver Wheaton will make total upfront cash payments of US$625 million over three years, of which US$212.5 million is payable on closing and three further payments of US$137.5 million are due on the first, second and third anniversaries. Silver Wheaton will also make ongoing payments of the lesser of US$3.90 (subject to a one percent annual adjustment starting in the fourth year after the achievement of specific operating targets) and the prevailing market price, for each ounce of silver delivered under the agreement. Silver Wheaton will not share in any ongoing capital or exploration expenditures at the various mines.
Barrick has provided Silver Wheaton with a completion guarantee, requiring them to complete Pascua-Lama to at least 75% of design capacity by December 31, 2015. During 2014 and 2015, Silver Wheaton will be entitled to the silver production from the currently producing mines to the extent of any production shortfall at Pascua-Lama, until Barrick satisfies the completion guarantee. If Barrick fails to satisfy the requirements of the completion guarantee, the agreement may be terminated by Silver Wheaton. In such an event, Silver Wheaton would be entitled to the return of the upfront cash consideration of US$625 million less a credit for silver delivered up to the date of that event.
The suspension will be lifted but it will cost Barrick a lot more money for wages, environmental costs, taxes, and other extortion fees, bribes, etc.. All this means is that there will be a delay in slw getting their silver from Barrick.
PASCUA + PIERINA are stolen + unpaid assets you just confirmed SLW sells CIVIL RICO PONZI in Argentina + Chile and now PERU wow what a scam of scams

SANTA CLARA -- The Los Altos 9- and 10-year-old all-stars were a smash hit in their District 44 Little League Tournament debut on a warm Thursday evening at Santa Clara Westside Field. Los Altos dominated Cupertino National in every aspect, rolling to a 19-0 victory in four innings, the game called due to the 10-run mercy rule. Three pitchers -- Aaron Parker, Jack Eschenbach and Jamie Baum -- twirled a combined no-hitter.
Los Altos plays either SC Westside or Campbell on Monday at Moreland-San Jose at 5:30 p.m. Los Altos manager Peter Buam was just as impressed with his team's 20 hits as he was with the combined no-no.
"We have strong pitching, strong catching and a solid defense," Baum said. "I can't put anything No. 1 by itself."
Ten of the 12 Los Altos stars got at least one hit. The three reserves -- Jalen Wall, Matt Evans and Phillip Martin -- went a combined 5-for-9 with two doubles, four RBIs and three runs scored. Evans just missed out on a home run when his line drive to center hit the top of the fence. Martin got robbed of a base hit when Cupertino National shortstop Willy Liou snagged Martin's liner to end the third.
If there was a key blow, it as Brennan Hanley's 3-run homer in the second inning, which made the score 6-0. It was Hanley's first home run of his Little League career. He added a fourth RBI on a fielder's choice grounder in the fourth, which was compounded by an error.
"You could see how happy I was when I was running home," said Hanley about his inaugural homer.
"We hit a couple of pop-ups in the first inning," Baum said. "After Hanley hit that big three-run homer, that got their nerves out and the kids were more relaxed."
Los Altos sent 19 batters to the plate in a 13-run fourth inning, collecting 12 hits. Cupertino National helped a little, committing four errors. Parker had a double and a single in the inning, driving in two runs. Eschenbach had two of his three hits, driving in a run.
Kevin Andrews, batting out of the ninth spot in the order, had three hits with an RBI, scoring three runs. Leadoff hitter Brock Susko had two hits, scoring three times. Parker and Eschenbach also touched home three times.
"The team was seeing the ball really well in the fourth inning," Baum said. "They were playing the way I expected them to play."
Baum's daughter, Jamie, took the slab in the fourth inning. Baum struck out the first two hitters looking, but lost the next batter, Owen Lassa, on a catcher's interference call. Lassa's swing knocked the glove away from Eschenbach, who had relieved Hanley behind the plate in the fourth inning. Baum retired the final batter on an infield grounder.
"I knew about the no-hitter," Baum said. "They were talking about it in the dugout. I didn't feel any pressure."
"I heard about the no-hitter at the end of the game," Peter Baum said. "Overall, our pitchers made the pitch when they had to. All the kids came together. We're looking forward to a successful District 44 run."

MARTINEZ -- As an arborist, Keith Park's main concern is the care and health of trees, as well as public safety.
"We'd like to keep the trees healthy for years," he said.
That's why the Martinez arborist at the John Muir National Historic Site is excited about California Arbor Week from March 7-14, which will be celebrated at the Martinez historic site at 1 p.m. March 9.
The public is invited to attend the event -- the first in a series -- which will explore the theme, "What Did John Muir Teach Us?"
The program will feature speakers Tim Womick and Chad Brey of Tree Circus, a traveling program that focuses on educating the public about the value of trees through entertaining and humorous activities that include audience participation.
Park, who lives in Martinez and is familiar with the landscape of the John Muir site, will demonstrate tree climbing with ropes as Womick and Brey, a tree-climbing competitor, narrate from the ground.
"As an arborist, it's all about being safe and practicing proper tree-climbing," Park said.
There's a blend of native and non-native trees as well as historic trees at the Muir site. Natives include a California bay tree, valley oak, California live oak and buckeyes, he said.
Pecan trees and one giant Sequoia tree that Muir brought back from the Sierra in the 1880s, also adorn the site.
"There's a mix of historic trees that go back to the time of John Muir," Park said, adding that trees are subject to annual inspection, which entails climbing them to determine their health.
As educators, Womick and Brey will discuss what trees do for people as well as Muir's connection to trees, Park said.
Womick, who's based in North Carolina, said that he was in awe of the Muir house and grounds during a previous visit.
"I thought, 'He was here -- John Muir. This was where he lived," said Womick, who, with students from the New Leaf Leadership Academy, an alternative high school program at Vicente Martinez High School, climbed a redwood tree during his last visit to Martinez.
At the Arbor Day celebration, people of all ages will learn the value of trees in their everyday lives, Womick said.
"I've got a unique take on John Muir," he said. "We'll find out what John Muir loved in life from my perspective. Anytime you visit the John Muir National Historic Site is an opportunity to celebrate Arbor Day."
Visitors can participate in family-oriented nature activities until 4 p.m. No reservations are required. The event will be held under the pecan trees in the back orchards. If it rains, the event will move to the John Muir Visitor Center auditorium.
Fruit trees were recently planted in the orchards around the home to replicate the historic look during Muir's time, Park said.
"I really view the landscape and the plants very similar to how a curator deals with art in a museum," he said.
The type of trees and where they're planted tell something about the history of the John Muir National Historic Site. Knowledge about the events and what grew in the area were culled from diary entries from Muir's family and historic photos, Park said.
WHAT: Arbor Day celebration
WHEN: 1-4 p.m. March 9
WHERE: John Muir National Historic Site, 4202 Alhambra Ave., Martinez
COST: Free admission

Another day, another reason Maria Shriver wishes she asked for more in the divorce settlement.
In today's excerpt of his new autobiography "Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story," Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals he had a "hot affair" with Brigitte Nielsen in 1985 while dating and living with his now ex-wife Shriver, according to Time.
Schwarzenegger said he knew the duo's short-lived fling wouldn't last and made him realize he wanted to marry Shriver.
News of this particular dalliance shouldn't come as that much of a shock.
Nielsen wrote about the whirlwind romance in her own memoir published last year, saying she and Schwarzenegger had an "outrageous affair" while making the 1985 film "Red Sonja," in which they co-starred.
Must've been tricky to get out of all that armor.
The actress, who subsequently married Sylvester Stallone and more recently had a fling with Flavor Flav, said she didn't know Schwarzenegger was dating Shriver at the time.

Background Data: Of the six ships in this Class, two of them were built by HM Dockyards to keep the Dockyards busy after the end of WW1 in accordance with the Colwyn Committee's recommendations. Two other similar ships were built for Anglo Saxon Petroleum Co Ltd, London at the same time - MUREX at Portsmouth and NASSA at Devonport - and after producing these two well-built ships, the finances and materials appeared to be short and the two built for the RFA were supposedly built with odds and ends and auxiliaries taken from outmoded warships.

So they call this site Emerging Photographer...a good name and a good concept. A place for emerging photographers to learn and to be seen. I wish there was something like this when I was a kid. What a great place to highlight a photographer that's just getting started, regardless of age. So here's the deal. I'm gonna start doing just that! Every time I'm introduced to, stumble upon, meet or somehow made aware of an "Emerging Photographer" whose work strikes me you will see that person here. I'll write a little something, post a photo or two and possibly link you to their website. Stay tuned folks, this is gonna be fun!!!
Well, you didn't think that was it?
Here' my first Emerging Photographer.
Her name is Jessica Lehrman.
At first glance one might think she simply shoots entertainers or news events. But, I think this smart, funny and energetic young woman is up to a lot more than that. Jessica Lehrman is a true social documentary photographer. To me her photos are about her time... She captures a cross section of today's culture through the eyes of a 20 something women. She is an observer and in some ways a participant... One of those photographers that never fears hitting the shutter while placing herself and camera right in the middle of the chaos. Lehrman's photos have the energetic and spontaneous look of a photographer that gets down and dirty to show us the truth, for better or worse. If you want photographic evidence of today's youth and what they are interested in take look at Jessica Lehrman's journey. I did and I'm a fan!

CES is playing host to a number of devices that utilize Wireless USB. It's likely you're already familiar with USB and know what wireless means, so you've probably already guessed what Wireless USB holds in store for you.
According to Jeff Ravencraft of Intel, "It looks and feels like wired USB, only it's wireless." That truly sums it up. Devices such as wireless hard drives, speakers, displays, docks - you name it, and if it uses USB, it could very well become wireless someday thanks to Wireless USB.
Wireless USB transfers data three meters away at 480 megabits per second, which is about the same as wired USB now. Over 130 products have been certified for Wireless USB so far, with more certain to follow.

The World Geography Map therefore depicts the main features of elevation and depression on the earth's surface and is also the most graphic representation of the earth's various contours and its most prominent physical features.
The World Geography Map also shows the boundaries separating the various countries and other political entities of the world including their land borders and maritime boundaries. The territorial waters of the countries with coastlines and islands are also clearly marked in the World Geography Map. The division of the world into separate political entities is marked by their political boundaries. Some of such boundaries may be natural such as mountains and rivers while others are politically demarcated. Some of the boundary demarcations are agreed upon by the countries that share those borders and are recognized internationally. But there are some borders that are a subject of continuous dispute. Border disputes may extend over land, water or maritime boundaries and over possessions of such features as watersheds, islands, territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zones.

Great Product - the white balance logarithms used in today's white balance meters do not always give an accurate color reproduction - there are of course other factors, but I have found that 18% grey works best! 18% grey is how your cameras are calibrated (range from 13% to 18%) - medium reflectivity.
Furthermore it collapses into a neat little pouch for slipping into a camera bag. The Photoflex Logo creates the contrast needed for automatic focusing. I use it for portrait work, flowers - just about anything. It is most useful when working with two or more light sources such as bright sun with shade or tungsten with an influence of daylight coming in the windows.

A Texas man was killed early Monday after his pickup truck rolled over on Interstate 80 in Pocono Township, police said.
Keith Bramlett, 31, of Granbury, Tx., was pronounced dead at Pocono Medical Center at 2:46 a.m. Two passengers in the truck were not hurt.
Police said at the time of the crash, Bramlett was traveling eastbound on I-80 in his 2005 Dodge Ram 2500. When traffic slowed in front of him, Bramlett swerved, causing the vehicle to roll over several times.
The car came to a rest on its roof. Two 27-year-old passengers, Derek Young and Kevin Jenkins, also of Granbury, Tx., escaped unhurt.
No further information was available.

Dollar/Yen Pair Face a Bumpy Ride
The dollar should resume its rising trend against the yen later this year, but for the short term, the pair face a bumpy road due to uncertainties in emerging markets, traders say.
Market participants who had issued forecasts around the end of the year for the dollar to be in the Y105-Y110 range have largely kept their predictions unchanged, despite the yen's recent strengthening. The dollar has slipped from a high of Y103.74 on May 22. As of 0945 GMT Friday, it was at Y97.38.
After a long wait, it appears the U.S. economy is on a more solid recovery track. That view was bolstered Wednesday by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who said the central bank may start shrinking its bond-buying program this year.
"It's simple logic: the currency of a country with good economic conditions and high interest rates will lure money," said Yuji Saito, director of foreign exchange at Credit Agricole.
Markets will be watching U.S. indicators, particularly employment figures, to see if the economy is strong enough to warrant the Fed's policy shift.
But investors should brace themselves for turbulence in the next one to two months, and possibly longer. The source of the volatility is emerging markets, where investors are pulling out hot money they had poured in over the past few years.
Through its easy monetary policy, the Fed has been providing investors cheap dollars to fund investment in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and Africa. Speculation that the Fed's rate-hike would reverse that flow has for some time been recognized as a big risk for emerging markets.
That is exactly what is happening now, traders say.
J.P. Morgan emerging market volatility index started rising in May and is now at 12%, up from 7% before the ascent kicked in, said Junya Tanase, the firm's chief forex strategist in Tokyo. That is the highest since January of 2012.
"The current market moves were caused by investors with their eyes on the short-term, and if volatility remains high, selling invites further selling," Mr. Tanase said.
Sharply moving emerging markets will likely leave major stocks and bonds unstable, having an impact on exchange rates. Since markets for regional currencies can be illiquid at times of strong imbalances, investors are increasingly nervous about holding those positions, prompting hedges that employ the dollar/yen, said Satoshi Tate, a senior trader at Mizuho Corporate Bank.
This will mean that the dollar/yen rate will itself be volatile. One hedge fund trader said the dollar could briefly fall to Y93 again.
According to the latest International Monetary Market data, non-commercial yen-short positions totaled 72,906 in the week to June 11, down from 82,744 a week earlier but still a high level.
Traders are also not ready to write off the surge in the dollar against the yen that began with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's talk of a new economic program and gathered pace when the Bank of Japan announced its new easing program.
Economists and policy watchers say Mr. Abe's much-anticipated growth strategy, the so-called "third arrow" in his program, was a disappointment. But Osamu Takashima, a forex strategist at Citigroup Global Markets Japan said the plan, which contains hundreds of policy goals, was just too complicated for the market to digest.
"The currency market lacks the ability to reasonably price in the growth strategy," he said. "What the market likes instead are simple black-or-white issues, such as whether an interest rate is high or low."
Traders say new moves related to the prospects for Japan's economy will now wait until Upper House elections in July to see whether the ruling coalition can secure a two-thirds majority. If so, Mr. Abe is seen as having a better chance of pushing through politically unpopular restructuring moves. That in turn will likely strengthen the U.S. currency against its Japanese counterpart.

Merseyside families to be hit with yearly £16 million 'bedroom tax' bill
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Central Government, Communities, Finance
Angela Forshaw
Analysis of Department for Work and Pensions data by the National Housing Federation (NHF) has revealed that the Government's 'bedroom tax' could cost Merseyside's social tenants over £16 million a year.
Here Angela Forshaw (pictured), director of housing and customer services at Liverpool Mutual Homes and chair of the Liverpool Housing Associations' Welfare Reform Group, urges tenants to get in touch with their landlords to discuss the coming changes.
The data from the NHF is very disturbing and underlines just how hard tenants in Merseyside are going to be hit.
The gravity of the policy means it is vital tenants get in touch with their landlords and discuss their circumstances, especially as some may not realise it will affect them.
Tenants classed as under-occupying one bedroom will lose 14 percent of their housing benefit, while those with two or more 'spare' bedrooms will have 25 percent cut.
This is a huge amount of money at a time when many tenants are already struggling to make ends meet.
But help is available from landlords.
At LMH, we have partnered social enterprise Local Solutions and employed two specialists to provide tenants with advice on fuel debt, budgeting, opening bank accounts, signposting them to training and work, and making sure they receive the benefits they are entitled to.
Last year our work with Liverpool-based benefits advice charity RAISE, resulted in £1.2m extra in benefits being generated for tenants.
Daniel Klemm, the NHF's North West lead manager, said: "The bedroom tax will unfairly penalise thousands of people across Merseyside who are low earners, or who find themselves unemployed or unable to work. Nearly two thirds of the people affected are disabled.
"This is a one-size fits all policy which won't work for Merseyside. There are simply not enough affordable one-bedroom flats for couples to move into after they suddenly become 'under-occupiers' of their two- or three-bedroom homes.
"Some people may move out of larger affordable homes into smaller privately rented properties which can be more expensive, adding to the Housing Benefit bill."

Liverpool fans give John Henry letter a mixed response
American owner pens open letter to fans after club's worst start to a new season for 50 years
AFTER Liverpool FC's worst start to a season for 50 years, American owner John W Henry has written an open letter to fans defending the club's transfer policy, even though it has left them chronically short of strikers.
Henry said the new business model at Anfield was designed to bring long-term success. However, he did admit to mistakes during the two years since Fenway Sports Group bought Liverpool and said his time in charge had proved to be a "harsh education".
Liverpool are bereft of attackers after loaning Andy Carroll to West Ham last week and then failing to replace him before the transfer window closed on Friday. It was thought that Clint Dempsey would arrive from Fulham, but he ended up joining Spurs because Liverpool were unable to negotiate the deal in time and reportedly failed to meet the £6m asking price.
The Daily Telegraph says Henry's statement reflects "a sense of despair" at Liverpool, with the club winning only one point from three games so far this season. The letter to fans was "an attempt to appease growing unrest after manager Brendan Rodgers was left with a thin squad".
The Times says that having rescued the club from the brink of administration Henry is determined that the financial model he's brought in "will put Liverpool on a more stable footing for years to come while also meeting the Europe-wide restrictions soon to be implemented."
In his letter Henry insisted: "The transfer policy was not about cutting costs. It was - and will be in the future - about getting maximum value for what is spent so that we can build quality and depth."
But he also hinted that the club's finances were still ailing. "We have been successful in improving the commercial side of the club and the monies generated going forward will give us greater spending power in the coming years," he said. "We are still in the process of reversing the errors of previous regimes. It will not happen overnight."
The reaction on Twitter was broadly positive with many welcoming Henry's willingness to communicate with the fans.
Times reporter Rory Smith said the letter was "undeniably impressive" and even the Manchester Evening News football writer Rob Dawson said he was struck by Henry's move. "He's noted discontent at Liverpool and tried to tackle it," he tweeted. "The Glazers [who own Manchester United] could learn something from that."
However, the letter drew a sceptical response from readers of the Liverpool Echo, many of who accused Henry of using rhetoric to cover up his own mistakes. Many said that unless there was some serious spending in January the Anfield faithful would turn against the Americans.
As one commenter put it: "You have lost the good will of the crowd. Words are easy, your actions are what you are judged on."

I need some advice on what to send.
DH has a colleague who just became a new mom to a 4 month old through adoption. She sent an email out at work, and we just got the birth announcement. We're not super close to this couple, but have socialized with them.
We'd like to send a gift to the new family, but I'm not sure what to send. I know they probably have everything a baby could possibly need, so I'd like to send a gift meant for the parents, since I know having a new baby can be overwhelming and stressful. Would that be appropriate? What would you send?

No Name Café, Google, Building 43, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043
Food: Seasonal, with vegetarian and raw options
Value for money: Unimprovable (Google offers staff free meals)
Corporate mission: Officially: "To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful". Unofficially: "Don't be evil".
In the heart of the Googleplex in Silicon Valley, California, I am sitting down to lunch at No Name Café for the third time this week. Of the 16 canteens on campus, No Name is my current favourite – only a three-minute stroll from my office building, and serving delicious food by chef Scott Giambastiani (formerly of the excellent Mediterranean restaurant Viognier in San Mateo). It's a great place to bump into people – and ideas.
Today I pile my plate high with pot roast, organic yellow wax beans and grilled Alba Farms squash. I move on to Challah apple bread pudding made with free range eggs, topped by a scoop of just-invented chocolate dessert (avocados, Dutch cocoa, magic). Out on the patio, muss-haired engineers are picking at arugula, peach and pecorino salads and sipping on basil and cucumber-infused water. I finish with a cup of Four Barrels decaf coffee.
I would happily have paid $30 for my lunch, but thanks to Google these meals are free. Responsibly sourced food (vegan brownies, steroid-free chicken) keeps staff productive and happy, and health bills low.
Google's free cafés are like its free products: successful not only because they cost nothing, but because they are ingenious. And everyone from programmers to internet founder Vint Cerf waits in line with their tray.

(AP) -- Tyler Hansbrough scored 26 points and Wayne Ellington added a career-high 23 to help No. 1 North Carolina beat Nevada 106-70 on Thursday night.Ty Lawson had 16 points and a career-best 10 assists for the Tar Heels (12-0), who ran off 19 straight points spanning halftime to earn the victory and snap Nevada's five-game winning streak. North Carolina is off to its best start since winning 17 straight to open the 1997-98 season. And since a tough 72-68 win against Davidson to open the season, the Tar Heels' closest game was an 86-77 win at Kentucky on Dec. 1. They have also scored at least 100 points in five games. Freshman Armon Johnson scored 23 points to lead the Wolf Pack (7-5), who had won five straight games and hung close with the Tar Heels until late in the first half. But that was before Lawson, a speedy sophomore, kicked North Carolina's offense into high gear. The news wasn't all good for the Tar Heels. Reserve guard Bobby Frasor tore his left anterior cruciate ligament when he landed awkwardly on the sideline while making a steal midway through the second half. School spokesman Steve Kirschner said Frasor will be out for the season and will have surgery. Lawson's layup off a turnover started the decisive run and gave the Tar Heels a 43-35 lead with 48 seconds left in the half. Then, after a tip-in by Alex Stepheson, Lawson struck again with a steal and a transition dunk. Finally, he rebounded an airballed jumper and raced the length of the court -- slowing just long enough to pass to Deon Thompson before getting the ball right back -- for a layup just before the horn to make it 49-35. The Tar Heels picked up where they left off to start the second half with Hansbrough's jumper over the 7-foot JaVale McGee. Lawson then assisted on a jumper from Ellington and scored again on a steal and layup before Ellington closed the spurt with a 3-pointer to make it 60-35 with 17 minutes left. Nevada got no closer than 20 points the rest of the game. Ellington didn't start for the first time this season after having travel problems that forced him to miss his flight back from Philadelphia and kept him out of practice. But he finished 8-for-12 from the field, including 5-for-8 from 3-point range. Lawson had six rebounds and five steals, while Hansbrough went 9-for-15 from the field and had eight rebounds. North Carolina shot 54 percent for the game, including 9-for-18 from behind the arc, while taking a 45-33 rebounding advantage.

The Mill on the Floss
by George Eliot
The Mill on the Floss Theme of Gender
Tom and Maggie represent opposite sides of many themes in The Mill on the Floss, and gender inequality is no exception. Basically, men had all the rights in the Victorian period. Tom bosses Maggie around accordingly, and has advantages that Maggie does not, especially educational opportunities. But women aren't the only ones who get a raw deal here. Men can't always act the way they want either. The world of this novel has a very narrow view of how women and men should behave. And men like Philip, who is artistic and sensitive, are derided as "feminine" and considered "unmanly," just as Maggie is often considered scandalous for her bold nature.
Questions About Gender
- Why do you think we only see Tom's experience at school, as opposed to Maggie's and Lucy's schooling?
- Philip is often made fun of for being "feminine." Even the narrator refers to Philip as "womanly." If Philip is supposedly feminine, then what are some of the traits that characterize appropriate "masculinity" in this novel?
- Maggie complains to Tom that he has more power than her because he is a man. What are some of the ways that Tom has definite gender advantages over Maggie? As a woman, does Maggie have any advantages over Tom?
- The narrator comments on Maggie's inner conflict and Tom's outer conflict, drawing an analogy to the difference between women and men in general. Do you this sort of inner/outer conflict divide is true for men and women in general in this book, or does it really apply more to just Tom and Maggie?
Chew on This
The differences and conflicts between Tom and Maggie actually represent the gender divisions and issues that plagued Victorian England as a whole.
Maggie was often treated worse than Tom when they were growing up because she was a girl.

One thing that I cannot figure out yet is how to use the Virtual List Control to get a total record count without doing the iteration.

Is it possible? I can get the total number of records in ldap from it, but if I do a search, I cannot figure out how to get the total number of records in the result set.

Advice?

I have implemented Simple Paged Results but find that it works well with one Active Directory but not with another. Interfacing to one AD I can only receive one page no matter what the Page size. Whereas I have no such limitation interfacing to another AD. Both directories show support for LDAP_PAGED_RESULT_OID_STRING "1.2.840.113522.214.171.1249"

Baja California Sur RECOMMENDATIONS See all
Things to Do in Todos Santos, Mexico
By Paige, Nicaragua, July 2012
The setting is stunning, even by Mexican standards, here in the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna. Saguaro cacti, crashing waves and pretty little adobe houses surround the modest town, built atop a natural oasis. It was once a popular resort for the silver-mining aristocracy of El Triunfo and San Antonio, and has more recently become a magnet for artsy expats and Mexicans fleeing bigger cities.

The summary of Monday's singles final at the U.S. Open in the Big Apple was as simple as the final score: Big man. Big game. Big win.
The summary of many who watched, especially those not deeply into the sport and expecting great drama from this country's major tennis showcase was simple, too: Big bore.
Almost as quickly as you can say 6-3, 6-3, 6-3, Marin Cilic of Croatia had his first Grand Slam event title.
His opponent, Kei Nishikori of Japan, was the crowd favorite in mostly filled Arthur Ashe Stadium. Despite the adrenaline push from that, he had little chance.
Cilic is 6 feet 6 and 200 pounds, Nishikori 5-10 and 150. Not a fair fight. George Foreman...

Definition of cuckoopint in English:
The common European wild arum of woodland and hedgerows, with a pale spathe and a purple or green spadix followed by bright red berries. Also called lords-and-ladies or jack-in-the-pulpit.
- Arum maculatum, family Araceae.
Example sentences
- Celandine, cow parsley, cuckoo pint, goosegrass and bluebells also only put out the most tentative shoots, but deadnettles did not appear at all, and rosemary did not flower.
Late Middle English: from earlier cuckoo-pintle, from pintle in the obsolete sense 'penis' (because of the shape of the spadix).

Overcoming depression is hard, perhaps the
hardest thing you will ever do. Fighting against depression
isn't a stroll in the park; it's a dogfight. But if you decide
to join the fray, you can win the battle and drive depression from
your mind. If you want to have a mind free from depression,
nobody can stop you.
Your emotions are a reflection of your thoughts.
When you change your thoughts, your emotions automatically change.
You don't have to battle the negative and twisted emotions echoing in
your mind. Instead, you need to learn how to change the way you
think, and emotions will naturally take care of themselves. Like
night follows day, when your thoughts are healthy and positive, your
emotions become healthy and positive as well.
The challenge you face in depression is to
change the way you think.
How do you change the way you think? Four
laws show you how to make it happen.
The Law of Positive Self-Talk states, "You change the
way you think and feel by changing what you say when you talk to your
If you want to change the way you feel, you are going to have to
change your inner dialogue. You are going to have to talk to
your mind in a different manner.
First, you must stop saying negative things.
When negative words start to come out of your mouth, you must
immediately stop what you are saying. Zip it up. Don't let
those negative words come out because they are negative seeds that
lead to more negative thoughts and negative emotions.
Second, you must start saying positive things.
That is what positive self-talk is all about. The positive
things you say are the seeds for a positive mind and a positive life.
If you don't stop saying negative things, and if
you don't start saying positive things, then having a positive mind
and a positive life will not happen. It's simply impossible to
have a positive mind and positive emotions if you are constantly
saying negative things. You must stop the negative self-talk and start
the positive self-talk if you want to leave the Land of Depression.
There is no other way.
The Law of Positive Direction states, "The wheel
of change always turns in the direction of what you put into your
mind." You actually push your mind in a positive direction by
putting positive and healthy thoughts into your mind. If you put
enough positive thoughts into your mind, you can actually create a
positive brain.
You are not helpless, and your life is not hopeless. Your
life instantly improves the moment you start putting good things into
your mind. The simple act of reading these positive words turns
the wheel of change in a positive direction, and every paragraph you
read makes you into a more positive person.
The Law of Positive Focus states, "A persistently
positive focus creates a consistently positive mind."
The battle against depression is fought on the battlefield of
focus. In order to break the back of depression, you will have
to learn how to persistently and consistently control the focus of
your mind.
The Law of Positive Change states, " When you change the
things you look at, the way you look at things changes. When you
change the things you talk about, the way you talk about things
changes. When you change the things you think about, the way you think
about things changes."
It really does matter what you look at, what you
talk about, and what you think about, because all of these things
change who you are and make you into a different person. You
must look at positive things, talk about positive things, and think
about positive things if you want to be free from depression and
become a positive person.
Cognitive therapy gives you the power to break the back of
depression by eliminating the twisted thinking that creates your
distorted emotions. But getting rid of your cognitive
distortions isn't enough. You need to go to the next level, a
much higher level where there is no limit to how good your life can
become. That next level can only happen if you install a
positive operating system into your mind.
Simply getting rid of your negative thoughts
does not automatically make you positive. Getting rid of
the negative only gets you half way to where you want to go.
You must install a positive operating system if you want to
reach the next level and become a positive person. It's
not enough to stop being negative. You need to become a
positive person.
You don't need a PhD in psychology or thousands of hours of
therapy to win the battle against depression and to move up to
the next level. But you do need to learn some basic facts.
You also need an uncomplicated strategy that is easy to use.
Finally, you need power. When you know the facts, have an
effective strategy, and real power, the odds shift in your
favor, and there is a high probability you will win this battle.
It's going to be a dogfight, but it's a fight you can win.
You have a choice. You can allow
negative thinking and depression to rule your life, or you can
reestablish command and control over your thoughts and push your
mind in a positive direction.
It's up to you. If you want to have
a mind free from depression, nobody can stop you.

EASTERN, Ky. (WYMT) - We continue to provide sneak peaks into our preseason high school football interviews, and Tuesday, the Allen Central Rebels stopping by to talk about the 2013 season.
Following a 2011 season that saw Allen Central host a first round playoff game, the Rebels took a step backwards last year, finishing just 2-9 and head coach Jeremy Hall says his team has to do a better job of focusing on the positives and not dwelling on the negatives.
"I think one of the major challenges that we had to face was actually drawing some good out of some things, squeezing out the good things and building on top of those," says Hall, who is entering his 11th season as Allen Central head coach. "Sometimes you get caught up on what we're doing wrong and I believe we spent a lot of time worrying about those instead of what we're doing right. I think we've done a lot of good things at Allen Central over the last couple of years and we might have went away from the a little bit, so hopefully we'll build on those good things and go from there."

DISCOVERY BAY -- Community Services District directors on Tuesday appointed Marianne Wiesen to fill a vacant seat on the board.
Wiesen, a three-year Discovery Bay resident who is involved on the town's community center committee and several local service organizations, including the Discovery Bay Lions Club, replaces Ray Tetreault, who resigned last month for health reasons.
"I am honored and humbled to have been chosen to fill the balance of Ray's term," Wiesen said after Tuesday's selection.
The Rotarian motto of "service above self" reflects her attitude toward being civic involvement, she said.
Three people applied for the position, which will be up for election in November 2014.
As a nursing home administrator in western Illinois for 32 years, Wiesen gained experience in grant writing, handling budgets and listening to people, she told the board.
Wiesen, 71, says her personal passion is that Discovery Bay Community Center become successful and become a central gathering place with programs for all ages. She will have to hone up on other board responsibilities such as water and wastewater issues.
"I have a learning curve ahead in digesting the government policies and duties of the town," she said. "However, my key focus will be on listening to the people of the community and speaking their voice."
