If you're like me, you get used to whatever software and hardware you have and can't imagine ever changing. If it's not broken, why fix it?
Consider my last laptop. After four years, it wasn't the most up-to-date. It didn't have the magic fingerprint lock and took a long time to boot up. But it worked. The thought of transferring all my programs and files was just too much for me. That is, until the keyboard began separating from the base and I couldn't get it to open files.
So I bit the bullet and … My new laptop is great! It has all the new bells and whistles; it's quick and it has the cool fingerprint thing!

As far as software goes, I've been using PortfolioCenter for more than a decade. It works well, providing accurate accounting and easy reporting. Since we've been using it so long, moving the data to another program would not be fun.
Still, we just made the decision to switch to Orion. Why? We want the cloud, not a server-based program. We like the integration with MoneyGuidePro and the video client reporting. And we like the full-service approach offered by Orion. We were motivated to overcome our inertia because technology had advanced in a huge way.
(See also: Technology: Bundled, best of breed, or both?)
Pondering the "if it isn't broken" rule, I'm questioning my ways. Should I really avoid change unless I'm forced to by a device breakdown or obsolete technology? If I truly want to be top in my field and do the best for my clients, I must seek out and embrace new and better technology even when my complacent self is telling me "Don't worry about it."

My friend has a 80 gig model with the model CECHE01, so I guess that means I need a KEM-400AAA replacement laser.
Problem is, I have no idea what would be a good place to get a replacement part. Sure, its all over ebay and I Can Google places, but I don't know which ones are actually good.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Occasionally, our music editors have thrown in a few lesser known tunes to help give the mix a little personality. For all our mixes, we've sifted through a variety of sources to put together the songs that get people dancing and enjoying themselves at a party.
We hope you have a great party, and that using our site has made your preparation a little more fun and a lot easier!

If you run, bike, are desk-bound all day, or have been sitting in a car or plane traveling, your hamstrings could use some extra love and length. It not only feels good to stretch this commonly tight area, but hamstring flexibility is also important for the health of your back, hips, and knees. Here are six easy and essential stretches that target the backs of your legs. To avoid injury, it's best to do them at the end of a workout, when the muscles are warm.

NEC Display Solutions of America, a leading provider of commercial LCD displays and projector solutions, announced today that its partnership with Cinedigm has yielded the digital cinema conversion of more than 2,000 exhibitor screens using NEC digital cinema projectors.
NEC offers a complete line of digital cinema projectors, including the NC1200C, NC2000C, NC3200S and NC3240S models. NEC digital cinema projectors are Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) compliant and High Frame Rate upgradable, which allow exhibitors to capitalize on current and future growth opportunities. These projectors can be centrally managed, freeing up on-site theater personnel for more strategic activities.
Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM), the global leader in digital cinema conversion programs, is responsible for structuring and implementing the underlying VPF (virtual print fee) agreement that enables the conversion to digital cinema, as well as providing the entire administration responsibility of the VPF program.
"Our strong partnership with Cinedigm is groundbreaking and has guided the steady transformation of an entire industry to digital," said Pierre Richer, President and COO of NEC Display Solutions. "We're grateful to the many exhibitors who have entrusted us with enriching the experiences of their patrons."
NEC Display Solutions and Cinedigm have partnered to provide financing for exhibitors to complete the digital cinema conversion. Besides NEC Display's commitment to fund the transition, fellow subsidiary NEC Financial Services has invested in the Cinedigm funding program - in addition to its own financing programs. Currently, those exhibitors who have chosen NEC projectors as part of their system conversions represent more than $80-million of the overall capacity of the Cinedigm Phase 2 deployment.
Such exhibitors include:
"We are pleased that through our work with NEC, we have found a solution that assists so many exhibitors in their conversions to digital, allowing them to take advantage of the new theater experience digital cinema enables," said Gary Loffredo, President of Digital Cinema and General Counsel at Cinedigm.
NEC Display Solutions (Booth No. 2717) and Cinedigm (Booth No. 2116) will exhibit at CinemaCon, the largest annual gathering of cinema owners and operators around the world, from April 24-26 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nev.

Get real. Great win for the Isles and their fan base. Too bad they are in 13th place. Already brings us to Thursday night in Long Island. How will Bylsma have the Pens prepared? How will the red-hot Penguin team react to this punch to the side of the face? If the Pens are destined for great things this season, then Thursday night may be an offensive massacre.
Got some stuff after the jump.
-Why can't the Islanders be this good all the time? They show flashes of skill and great hockey, more than any of the other cellar-dwelling teams that we get to watch on a consistent basis. But they can't sustain it. That's coaching. That's attitude from the coach. Need a new coach. assholes
-Strait and Depres. Too lazy to go see if they were on the ice for any goals against. And we don't mean +/-. We mean actually watching the entire play leading up to the goals. Too lazy. But if they made a couple mistakes, it doesn't really matter. Players squirming their way into the league will make the odd mistake here and there. Those shouldn't be compounded on a night like this one. Wasn't a hot game for the team overall. Depres is on a path to a top-4 position in the NHL. Strait looks like a solid fifth. Putting them in that context helps when watching them.
-What was Fleury doing coming out like that? Jesus. Looks like his removal from the game was performance-based, not concussion-based. MAF's first bad game in a while. We'd be concerned if this was 2007.
-Thiessen came in and performed well in his first appearance since the tsunami in Ottawa. Solid job.
-Officiating in this game was really strange. Of course there's a "let 'em play" mentality come playoff time, but when a team with superior talent is allowed to be lassoed under the guise of playoff hockey, then the officiating sticks out. Not saying that happened in this game necessarily, but there were glimpses of it.
-The Pens buzzed like they had to in the third but couldn't put anything past Montoya. They got one late that at least warranted waking up that dude in the sleep apnea commercial, but that was it.

I n a challenging retail environment, Redner's Markets will expand its 39 warehouse markets and 14 Quick Shoppe convenience stores by four additional stores this year, with decisions by senior management to support IT investments contributing to this growth pattern.
"We try to operate lean and mean, and we use technology to help us," says Nick Hidalgo, director of IT, citing the company's installation of Dell KACE's K1000 and K2000 appliances about four years ago. "I don't think we could operate the same way without it because of what it does for me — the time savings and the elimination of headaches."
Headquartered in Reading, Pa., Redner's operates stores in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland, with some 4,300 employees, 600 POS terminals and a nine-person IT department.
The executive team of the family-run business — CEO Richard Redner, COO Ryan Redner and executive vice president of procurement Gary Redner — "fully support the IT department and these initiatives," Hidalgo says. "We have not hired anyone in my department in four years, and we have added new locations. ... The K1000 and the K2000 are the equivalent of having two additional employees."
Hidalgo initially went looking for a systems management solution to address patching headaches and help desk needs, but with the two Dell KACE appliances he gained capabilities and efficiencies that include inventory tracking, software distribution, configuration management, patch management and systems imaging.
"The whole solution is a big time-saver," he says. "We can write a script for any task we are going to do repetitively. What used to take two hours is now down to five or 10 minutes."
The speed and efficiency gained in patch management also ties into PCI compliance. Earlier this year, an auditor's detailed inquiries required Redner's Markets to demonstrate system functions.
"Rather than us being able to say, 'Yes, we do this,' he watched us going into the tools and pulling up that information — and he was perfectly happy," Hidalgo says.
Redner's IT team has gained more control over a whole raft of systems and is better informed about who is using what software throughout operations, quickly answering questions and solving mysteries. And as happened recently, surprise compliance audits were handled without disruptions to routine operations. "We had all the information they needed," Hidalgo says.
Having that control over multiple systems helps nip issues in the bud. "If someone calls in with a problem, we can check to see if they did a patch job and then didn't reboot," he says. "We can also find out if someone ... installed software that wasn't approved."
Besides the increased efficiencies and control made possible by the Dell KACE appliances, Redner's Markets reports a 512 percent return on investment, a 75 percent reduction in annual software distribution time and costs and a 200 percent reduction in deployment costs.
Multi-faceted solution
Dell acquired KACE in 2010 to assist businesses in meeting security and compliance needs, improve the accuracy of IT inventories and expedite help desk responses. Last November, Dell KACE announced 300 percent growth in its customer base and continued product innovation along with its expansion into global markets.
"PCI compliance is an ongoing need," says Mike Adams, practice lead, retail solutions for Dell. "I'm in front of retailers all the time and we see a lot of different levels of compliance, sophistication and abilities in meeting PCI needs. Some think they have done the required compliance, but others are struggling and looking for ways" to determine where they aren't in compliance.
"When retailers come to us, they want to find their assets and how they are configured," says Ken Drachnik, director of product marketing for Dell KACE. "Second is patching, third is software updates and new pricing structures and fourth is engaging in PCI compliance. KACE simplifies those steps for understaffed retailers in a consistent, organized way."
Within individual companies' internal operations, Drachnik points to POS terminals as the area in which clients require the most security help.
"Having a good inventory of your systems and assets is … a very important starting point, [as is] being able to scan the network to see if something is missing," he says, "and more importantly, seeing something in the network that is new and unauthorized."
Adams echoes that concern, noting that a company's employees pose a security risk through access to company and consumer data, just as they do with traditional shrinkage. This is especially the case, he says, with decommissioned or old equipment that can have large amounts of data stored inside.
Features and benefits
"The high-level benefit in Dell KACE features and functions is about time savings," Drachnik says. "Retail organizations tend to run lean staffs, so they need a tool to perform functions in an automated fashion, such as optimizing licensing expenses, identifying the warehouse vs. the management suite and controlling costs by matching licenses to the actual functions. And it greatly enhances the security of the entire network by patching."
Redner's uses both the K1000 and the K2000. "The K1000 is the system that manages day-to-day operations in inventory, asset management patching of operations systems and third-party applications. It also has an integrated service desk," Drachnik says. The K2000 helps minimize the manual tasks involved in building images. In the case of Redner's Markets, which had a variety of PC models, the K2000 made the time-consuming task of building images more manageable.
"I don't know if there is another solution that fits what Dell KACE does with all the modules," Hidalgo says. "For the overall package, I haven't seen anything that is better."

"I Am Not Here"
Clark finally destroyed his ego as he won the gold medal in pole vaulting. It happened just as he cleared the bar: he felt his self dissolve into the unbroken field of energy that is the sentient universe.
"Shit," he thought as his perception of boundaries faded. "It is going to be hard to land now…."
He lost his grip and fell limply into the mat, no longer moving. He COULD move but he saw no point. He felt at one end of his consciousness the atmosphere of Pluto, and at the other he became aware of the swirling of electrons around the carbon lining of his stomach.
Moments before he cleared the bar, as he ran at top speed while holding the pole, he was thinking "All my life is just ego, my illusory sense of self striving to protect itself. I hoard food, I desire sex. But I am nothing. Or rather, I am everything. We are all one."
And he stuck the pole and vaulted up.
While approaching the bar he thought "But, wait, how can I be nothing? Why do I hunger? Why do I get up? If I am not really a thing, a separate thing, why do I alone desire warmth? Yes, desire is suffering — but there are some desires I do not seek out. They just are with me. I can't think my way out of being hungry. Too much of my master's teaching– " (he thought of his master, sitting still most of the day, dust particles from a nearby sunbeam floating) " –my master's teaching seems to imply that I shouldn't do anything! That every act is an act of will and therefore false! Do I really have to stop? Is it just that easy?"
And he crossed the bar. And his sense of separateness went away.
And once his body cleared the bar, he lay on the mat, contented. And never moved again.

Big nose of toasted nuts, cherries, black raspberry, and crushed fresh herbs. Flavors repeat the profile, adding more red cherry flavor and a hint of earth. Smooth finish with just enough grip to structure the sweet fruit core.
This wine is a blend of three Pinot Noir vineyards. It greets you with cassis and red currant. On the palate the wine is very focused and lively, with a core of dried cranberries, tobacco, cola, and a touch of fresh oregano. A touch of flint and toast meet you at the finish. It calls out to be shared with a meal.
The grapes are from Apolloni Vineyard, Lia's Vineyard and Veeman Vineyard. Just 166 cases produced.

1918 First Paige Truck
|Horsepower SAE:
Before 1917 was over, Paige announced a 1918 lineup that featured only refinements in both series of six-cylinder models that otherwise stayed the same. Except for the Brooklands, which was carried forward from 1917, the larger series was now labeled "Six-55," while the smaller remained "Six-39."
"Six-51" Series
- Roadster, four-passenger, Brooklands, $1,795
"Six-55" Series
- Coupé, four-passenger, $2,850
- Limousine, seven-passenger, $3,230
- Sedan, seven-passenger, $2,850
- Sport roadster, four-passenger, Larchmont, $1,950
- Touring car, seven-passenger, Essex, $1,775
- Town car, seven-passenger, $3,230
The Essex seven-passenger touring, on the same 127 inch wheelbase as in 1917, made much of the rounded back of the body, "a feature that again marks the artistic genius of Paige designers." This apparently allowed a rear seat design that, according to the maker, allowed exceptional comfort unknown previously in touring cars of any size. This model came standard in royal blue with blue wheels with a white stripe.
The 1918 sales catalog included a drawing of the "Six-55" four-passenger coupe. This model and the center-door sedan could both be quickly converted into a open car by lowering the windows into the body and removing the side posts on both sides.
The Larchmont four-passenger sport roadster was shown with other 1918 models at the January automobile shows, but it was a new design that was not included in the fall announcement of Paige models. The March 2, 1918, Saturday Evening Post carried a Detroit Pressed Steel Co. ad featuring the Larchmont with its steel disc "Disteel" wheels, which were an option. Besides their aesthetic appeal they were more resilient and stronger than wooden spokes with no increase in weight. The manufacturer modestly claimed they were "as epoch-making as the introduction of the electrical starter".
The four closed models were available in a choice of three colors for the body below the molding: Brewster Green, hazel brown, or Paige Blue. Above the molding they were black. Three patterns of upholstery were available to harmonize with each of the colors. Head linings and carpets matched the choice of upholstery.
"Six-39" Series
- Chummy Roadster, Glendale, $1,330
- Roadster, two-/three-passenger, Dartmoor, $1,330
- Sedan, five-passenger, $1,925
- Touring car, five-passenger, Linwood $1,330
The "Six-39" Series rode on a 117 inch wheelbase that was unchanged, like the larger series, from the previous year. The Dartmoor "Six-39" was a conventional two/three-passenger roadster, while the Glendale was designed for four passengers. The Glendale had only two doors, but front bucket seats enabled passengers to get to the rear seat. It was a well-proportioned car for the times. A buyer could order a Linwood "Six-39" five-passenger touring with a winter top installed at the factory for $198.50, or he could order the winter top to be shipped separately for $230 to put it on at his convenience.
All "Six-39" open models came with Brewster Green bodies, hoods, and radiators and with red wheels. The sedan came with a black upper body and a lower body of Richelieu Blue or Brewster Green. There were two patterns of upholstery for the sedan to harmonize with either color.
The gas tank in the larger series was now at the rear of the car. It held 23 gallons, and a Stewart vacuum system moved the gas to the motor. In the smaller series the gas tank was still under the cowl. It held 14 gallons, and the carburetor was fed by gravity. Both had a triple plate dry clutch.
Sale of Paige Denied
Detroit, July 1 - The rumor that the General Motors Co. is about to purchase the Paige-Detroit Motor Car Co. is unfounded, according to H. M. Jewett, president of the Paige company. The Paige company has been approached several times in the past by the General Motors Co. with offers, and the recent visit to the east of Mr. Jewett, who sought an interview with W. C. Durant of General Motors, caused an over-zealous newspaper correspondent to write a story to the effect that Mr. Jewett's visit was prompted by a desire to go through with the deal. As a matter of fact, the conference between the two men dealt only with the steel situation.
Motor Age magazine, July 4, 1918
Paige increased prices more than once during the model year because of the scarcity of material. Motor Age magazine printed the following announcement of the latest change in its issue of August 8, 1918:
|Essex six-55
|Larchmont six-55
In contrast to earlier print ads that may have shown a family in its stylish Paige at the seaside, by summer a Paige-Detroit ad showed smiling military officers in a Paige touring car with barracks in the distant background. In the ad Paige-Detroit encouraged the business executive to buy a Paige auto as his contribution to the war effort, because it would free him from slowly moving, congested public transport. In a leap of advertising logic, thus would the businessman's auto contribute to the speed of developing the country's industrial strength, which was necessary to exert its full military strength on the battlefields of Europe. This was not the time, the company asserted, for "parsimonious hoarding that leads to industrial stagnation and inertia".
In November Paige launched a truck line that had been announced earlier in the spring of 1918. The company planned to market a complete line of trucks, ranging from 1-ton to 5-ton capacities. A limited number of the new trucks were to be distributed initially. As war conditions made it possible, production was to be increased and other models were to be added. The company had been building Government trucks for more than a year, which had delayed its entry into the market with its own line.
The first model, the 2-ton for $2,950, was powered by a four-cylinder Continental engine, having a bore and stroke of 4-1/8 by 5-1/4 inches, which developed 27 horsepower SAE. It was not fitted with a starting and lighting system. Other features included:
- Stromberg carburetor with gravity fuel feed
- Bosch ignition
- Pierce governor
- Selective sliding gear and multiple dry-disk clutch
- Total gear reduction in low: 34 to 1; in high: 8-1/2 to 1
- Cooling by centrifugal pump and spiral, finned-tube radiator
- Pressed steel frame
- 150-inch wheelbase
- Solid tires: 36 by 4 in front and 36 by 7 in the rear
- Wooden wheels with square spokes
- 3-1/2 by 1/4 brake banding
- Timken worm-type rear axle with exceptionally sturdy, drop-forged radius rods
- Timken bearings in the front wheel , gearset and rear axle

Namudno's Non-Existent Principle of State Equality
Zachary S. Price
University of California Hastings College of the Law
January 31, 2013
New York University Law Review, Vol. 87, 2013
In Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District Number One v. Holder (NAMUDNO), the Supreme Court suggested in dicta that federal legislation that treats states unequally may be constitutionally suspect. This suggestion is wrong. It should be put to rest in the Court's pending case, Shelby County v. Holder, addressing the constitutionality of section five of the Voting Rights Act. The idea that federal legislation must treat states equally lacks support in constitutional text, history, or precedent, and it is particularly unfounded with respect to legislation, like section five of the VRA, that is based on Congress's Fifteenth Amendment authority to enforce that Amendment's prohibition on discriminatory denials of the right to vote.

The beach at Nha Trang was fabulous.
On to Mui Ne. The sleeper bus arrived. Why? It's 9am, i've just slept for eight hours. Anyway, we got on and found it to be a better experience than last time, the beds were bigger and we didn't have to sleep next to randy locals.
Our hotel at Mui Ne is amazing, the pool is a must-have here, it's so hot. Not five yards away you can take a dip in the south-china sea. We're making the most of the peaceful relaxation before we hit Ho Chi Minh.

Reuters posted an article Wednesday about Target's toy sales and an early holiday season sales slump.
Here's an excerpt --- let me know what you think about the article --
Target Corp's (TGT.N) toy business took a big hit from Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N) early in the U.S. holiday shopping season, as Walmart's return to offering layaway seems to be gaining momentum even before Thanksgiving.
Comments from Target's top executives, made after the chain posted a much better-than-expected third-quarter profit, showed that the chic discount chain may be suffering from its plan to wait until next week to unveil its Black Friday plans and largely stick to familiar strategies while others such as Walmart tweak their tried-and-true pitches.
Walmart, the largest retailer, brought back holiday layaway on toys and electronics in October after a five-year hiatus. It has been advertising a lot more, including releasing its Black Friday ad last week, and plans to start special sales earlier than ever, at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving night.
"Toys is off to a slow start and I think that's going to be a bit of an uphill climb for us this year, although we're still optimistic about the rest of the fourth quarter," Kathryn Tesija, Target's executive vice president of merchandising, said during a conference call. "Walmart's layaway program has certainly hurt us in November."
Target is opening its stores at midnight the day after Thanksgiving, earlier than it has before, but does not plan to reveal its Black Friday specials until the day before Thanksgiving. [ID:nN1E7A8134] It is also offering its card holders free shipping online, hoping to woo shoppers away from sites such as Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O)

Asteroid 2012 DA14 is expected to pass 17,200 miles from Planet Earth today. What would happen if a splinter, say the size of a school bus, broke off and plummeted to earth at 12 miles per second, striking downtown Richmond?
You can get a glimmer from these videos on the Atlantic Cities blog of a kitchen table-sized meteor streaking through the sky near Chelyabinsk, Russia. But a school bus is a lot bigger than a kitchen table. Thanks to the good folks at KillerAsteroids.org, we can simulate the impact, as seen above.
The entire downtown area would be incinerated, and the better part of the city would be subject to a zone where "steel buildings are knocked over." Tragically, the Third Street Diner, a genuine Richmond landmark, would be consumed in the blast. On a positive note, the entire apparatus of state government — including the General Assembly, if the asteroid hit during the session — would be obliterated. Don't worry: Yours truly resides safely outside the blast zone, so Bacon's Rebellion would continue publishing.

Inge to Dodgers? Tigers talk trade
DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Perhaps the Detroit Tigers will be able to trade Brandon Inge this spring.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have contacted the Tigers about Inge, and while talks do not seem to have progressed far, a baseball official familiar with the situation said the Dodgers remain interested in making a deal.
Inge would play third base for the Dodgers, who did not have a full-time third baseman last season and have been trying to decide between veteran Nomar Garciaparra and rookie Andy LaRoche this spring.
New Dodgers manager Joe Torre is familiar with Inge from his time in the American League, and Torre and new Dodgers third base coach Larry Bowa are said to be Inge backers.
Inge remains popular with Tigers fans, who have given him louder applause than any other player during the first few spring games. But the Tigers remain open to trading him.
Among the reasons: Inge wants to be traded and his hefty salary: $6.2 million.
If the Tigers do not trade Inge or any of their other veterans, their opening day payroll would be more than $134 million.
Even if the Tigers and Dodgers cannot work out a deal, Inge could be traded elsewhere. One baseball official suggested Friday that Houston should acquire him to use as a catcher.
If I was a betting man, it will be for Scott Proctor. He and Torre didn't get along at all with the Yankees, to the point where Proctor I believe requested to be traded, and eventually was.
Though if we were happy with our current pen, say Rodney comes back healthy, Cruceta gets in to Lakeland and impresses, the Dodgers farm system would be a nice one to deal with as well, a couple of second tier prospects in their system would probably crack the top five in ours.
I don't know hank, but I'm sure if the Dodgers took on Brandon Inge's contract 6 mil+, for Proctor 400,000+, the Tigers would have to pay a very significant portion of the 6 mil. Would Proctor be worth the difference? These are the reasons why Inge is still a Tiger.
Proctor makes $1.15M this season, but point taken. We'll probably have to throw some money their way. And given that Dombrowski has Atlanta and Chicago include money in the Renteria and Jones deals respectively, he can't really balk at such a request.
It's silly to criticize Dombrowski considering what he's done for this franchise...but signing Inge to that contract after 06 was a ridiculous kneejerk reaction. Inge isn't worth HALF of what his contract is for.
EFWolverine said:
"It's silly to criticize Dombrowski considering what he's done for this franchise...but signing Inge to that contract after 06 was a ridiculous kneejerk reaction. Inge isn't worth HALF of what his contract is for."
What valuation method(s) did you use to determine Inge's value as less than 3 million dollars/year? According to baseballprospectus.com , Inge was worth just about 6 wins above a replacement-level 3B in each 2005 and 2006. Last year he had an awful year at the plate (but a fantastic year in the field again), and was worth about 3.5 wins above replacement-level. He'll be better this year, and probably clock in closer to 5 WARP, and his contract expires after his age 33 season (around when he'd be in his decline phase). I think, for a championship-contending team, paying about 1M or 1.5M dollars/win is incredibly efficient.
Frankly, Inge is always going to be underrated because his defense is so phenomenal. Baseball Prospectus had him at 20 runs ABOVE AVERAGE as a 3B last year, and about average as a hitter. A stellar defender that puts up league-average offensive numbers is, obviously, an above-average player, well worth the 18M over 3 years they're paying him. I don't think Dombrowski wants to move him, because he knows Inge is incredibly undervalued.
Inge for Proctor would not be a bad move money wise but I wonder how durable Proctor is because during his Yankees days. It seemed like he pitched in every game for them.
I think Inge is going to be very good this year because he does not have a position and wants to prove that he is worth being an everyday starter. That might make him either a super-sub or super trade bait because that middle relief is not looking that impressive.
The proble with your logic is that Inge is a below average hitter. 240 is not average. So this means that were paying 18 million for an average player. Hes had 1 year where he looked like anaverage hitter. We never should have given him a contract based on that year.
Hey guys lets give him a chance at being a super sub. Inge might be a sub this year but he's going to play alot of ball. I think. IF he accepts his role, you just know he's gonna play good D. If he hits the ball well & cuts down on K's, just imagine what we could get for him at the trade deadline!Sound like a god gamble? GO TIGERS!!!
Brandon Inge, puulezze, he's better than Nomar?
somebody's been drinking to much
a career 240 hitter for a hall of famer ?
He couldn't carry Nomars jock strap
If the dodgers pull off a trade for him, and I don't care who they give up for him (the club house attendant) I will cancel my season tickets, and sue Mccourt for non-support

Achilles Tendon Rupture
What is an Achilles tendon rupture?
An Achilles tendon rupture is when part or all of your tendon is torn. The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscle in your lower leg to your heel bone. It allows you to point your foot down and to rise on your toes. A tear is caused by an injury or increased pressure, such as during sports or a fall.
What increases my risk for an Achilles tendon rupture?
The following may make your Achilles tendon weak or stiff, and more likely to tear:
- A past tendon tear
- Lack of physical activity
- Abnormal bone structure in your foot
- Obesity
- Older age
- Medicines, such as steroids and antibiotics
What are the signs and symptoms of an Achilles tendon rupture?
- A sudden pop, snap, or crack at the back of your ankle
- Severe pain in your leg or ankle
- Swelling, stiffness, or weakness in your leg or ankle
- A bruise on the back of your ankle
- Trouble moving or putting weight on your leg
How is an Achilles tendon rupture diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider will ask what you were doing at the time of your injury. You may need any of the following:
- A calf-squeeze test is used to check for movement. You will lie on your stomach on a table or bed with your feet hanging over the edge. Your healthcare provider will squeeze the lower part of each calf. If your foot or ankle do not move, the tendon is torn.
- An x-ray will show swelling or any broken bones.
- An ultrasound uses sound waves to show pictures of your tendon on a monitor. An ultrasound may show a tear in the tendon.
- An MRI takes pictures of your tendon to show damage. You may be given dye to help the tendon show up better. Tell the healthcare provider if you have ever had an allergic reaction to contrast dye. Do not enter the MRI room with anything metal. Metal can cause serious injury. Tell the healthcare provider if you have any metal in or on your body.
How is an Achilles tendon rupture treated?
- Pain medicines can help decrease pain and swelling.
- A cast may be needed for 2 months or more. Your foot will be positioned in the cast with your toes pointing slightly down. Your healthcare provider will change your cast and your foot position several times while the tendon heals. Do not move or put weight on your foot until your healthcare provider tells you it is okay.
- A leg brace or splint may be needed to help keep your foot from moving while your tendon heals.
- Heel lifts are wedges put into your shoe or cast. Heel lifts help decrease pressure and keep your foot in the best position for your tendon to heal.
- Surgery may be needed if other treatments do not work. The edges of your tendon may need to be stitched back together. You may need a graft to patch the tear. A graft is a piece of another tendon or artificial material.
How can I manage my symptoms?
- Go to physical therapy. A physical therapist teaches you exercises to help improve movement and strength, and to decrease pain.
- Use support devices as directed. You may need crutches or a cane for support when you walk. These devices help decrease stress and pressure on your tendon. Your healthcare provider will tell you how much weight you can put on your leg. Ask for more information about how to use crutches or a cane correctly.
- Start activity as directed. Your healthcare provider will tell you when it is okay to walk and play sports. You may not be able to play sports for 6 months or longer. Ask when you can go back to work or school. Do not drive until your healthcare provider says it is okay.
When should I contact my healthcare provider?
- You have a fever.
- Your symptoms do not get better with treatment.
- You feel another pop, snap, or crack.
- The muscles in your leg become weak.
- Your leg feels numb, tingly, or hot.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
When should I seek immediate care or call 911?
- You have trouble standing up or walking.
- You cannot move your leg or foot.
- You feel like you may have broken a bone.
- You have severe pain.

Spring Grant 2013 - Production Stage
Current project status: COMPLETED
The year is 2004. France has passed a law banning religious symbols in public schools. Mariam, born in France to Arab parents, recently began to wear the hijab after performing the hajj with her grandmother. At the start of the academic year, she pretends the new law does not exist, as she does not want to acknowledge it and so be forced to make a decision. To complicate matters, Sami, a popular young Arab boy in school, starts paying attention to her and she develops a powerful crush on him. While her fellow veiled classmates argue with teachers about their desire to keep wearing the hijab, and her parents argue about her wearing hers, Mariam dreams of Sami, despite her best friend Sophia's warning that he is not serious. Things come to a head when the deadline for removing the hijab or facing expulsion falls the same week Mariam sees Sami with another girl.

Menopause the Musical, a "hilarious celebration of women and The Change," is coming to the Community Arts Center, 220 W. Fourth St., at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
It is described as, "Four women at a lingerie sale with nothing in common but a black lace bra AND memory loss, hot flashes, night sweats, not enough sex, too much sex and more! This hilarious musical parody set to classic tunes from the '60s, '70s and '80s will have you cheering and dancing in the aisles! See what millions of women worldwide have been laughing about for over 10 years!"
The Sun-Gazette had the chance to catch up with Sandra Benton, an actress from the musical.
Article Photos
The stars of "Menopause the Musical" are pictured, clockwise from left: Annette Verdolino, Sandra Benton, Kathy St. George and Megan Cavanagh.
LYNDSEY HEWITT: As an actor what methods do you practice to get into a character?
SANDRA BENTON: I have my own rituals for prepping for my character which include listening to music and putting on my makeup. My prep time starts about three hours before showtime, warming up my voice and my body. Quiet time, thinking about who my character is and what she wants, brings "Professional Woman" (Benton's character) into focus.
LH: Who are some of your favorite actors in the industry? Who inspires you?
SB: My biggest inspiration in the business is Bette Midler. She's had the kind of career I would want for myself. Actress, singer, dancer, recording artist ... she does it all. No boxes, no limits. Aside from Bette, I admire Melissa McCarthy for her bold, take no prisoners type of comedy. We haven't seen that approach to comedy from a female since Lucille Ball. I hope to be that brash and unafraid in my comedy choices.
LH: What are some of your favorite plays?
SB: I love any live theatre experience I can have. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad because you learn something from both. I love the classics, from the Greeks to Shakespeare. To the newer classics, from Arthur Miller to Tracey Letts and everything in between.
LH: When you're on tour, what do you do to pass the time?
SB: Play games. Especially Words With Friends. I like games that make you think.
LH: When you were young, is this what you pictured yourself doing?
SB: Yes. I always knew I wanted to be an entertainer. I have never seen myself in any other industry.
LH: Is this like a comedy mixed with educational sort of themes for women?
SB: I would say it is a comedy that acknowledges the universal truth of our humanity as women. We are not trying to teach you anything except we are all the same and we are not alone in our struggle. If your particular issue comes up in the midst of the show and you happen to learn something, then so much the better.
LH: Are there a lot of men in the audiences or primarily women?
SB: Even though we have predominantly female audiences, we do get and encourage men to come to the show. There are moments in the show that are designed for guys and they leave the show feeling great about themselves as well.
LH: What are some of the most memorable moments you've had on tour?
SB: I love that I get to go to great places and see things that I otherwise would probably never get to. Elvis' birthplace, Lincoln's tomb, Buddy Holly museum, The Remington Museum, The Cadillac Ranch, 6th Street in Austin, Texas .... just to name a few places. The United States is full of treasures and when we have free time we try to see as much as we can of what's around.
LH: Can you tell me what this musical means personally, to you, as a woman?
SB: This musical represents a sisterhood to me. You cannot help but to bond with the women in the show and the women who come see the show. No matter who you are or where you are from, you will see some part of yourself on stage.
LH: Have you heard of any ... conservative types detest the fact that there is a widescale musical like this that touches on subjects that are historically taboo?
SB: I think all the subjects in the show are handled in a very funny, tasteful way. I believe that the subject of the show is no longer taboo and ultimately we have our audiences best interest at heart. I think that far surpasses any misunderstandings that may arise occasionally. Those times are very few and far between.
LH: What are some challenges you face as an actress?
SB: My biggest challenge is fatigue. This is a nonstop 90 minute marathon and we are middle aged women. It's taxing vocally and physically and we don't bounce back as quickly as we once did.
LH: Favorite venue/city to perform at?
SB: Each venue has its own uniqueness and personality. I loved the Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Miss. Great people and great food. Fantastic views of the Gulf Of Mexico and wonderful bathtubs!
LH: Future goals and aspirations?
SB: To do more film and television. Preferably my own situation comedy!
LH: What is your background and can you tell me a bit about your journey in this career?
SB: Southern girl from North Carolina grows up, moves to the big city and studies her craft. She has a great deal of fun being an artist and the journey is still being written...

The playoffs can be a very different animal. Right now the London Majors feel as though they are facing one as they tangle with the Kitchener Panthers in round one in the Intercounty Baseball League post-season. After dropping the first game 8-4, London was pounded 9-1 in Game 2 in Kitchener on Sunday night.
The Panthers scored three runs in the third inning and added three more in the seventh and now lead the series two games to none.
Eric Cordova took the loss for London.
The Majors were the second best team overall during the regular season, while Kitchener was two games below .500.
Game 3 will be played Tuesday night at 7:30 at Labatt Park.

Priest PvE Guide!Posted on 2009 under Class Guides | Leave a Comment!
19 Jul
World of Warcraft Priest PvE Guide!
Here are the Pros and Cons for Priest!
- Discipline Priests are very annoying and hard to kill!
- Quite possibly the best healers in the game due to the many types of healing and pure healing their class is focused around
- Always wanted in groups as healers
- Shadow has the ability to restore mana as they dps
- Priests usually aren't wanted for dps, rather they are wanted for healing
- Not a lot of people enjoy leveling a priest
- As shadow dps spec, you don't have the ability to cast holy spells to heal, while other classes such as Shaman or Druid can cast healing spells in DPS forms.
Now that I have discussed the Pros and Cons I will get into detail about the best ways to get gear and how to practice your gameplay.
How to Spec
- "Raid Healer Build (57/14/0) [Current as of 3.2.0]
- This is a standard Discipline healer build with the inclusion of Desperate Prayer. Although Divine Fury is not talented, don't leave Greater Heal out completely, as Borrowed Time will cut the casting time down." -WoWiki
- "Cookie-Cutter Guardian Spirit/Circle of Healing Build (14/57/0) [Current as of 3.2.0]
- A build commonly referred to as the standard for Guardian Spirit/Circle of Healing builds, it specializes in healing up raid-wide damage while also having adequate tools to deal with incoming personnel or tank burst. This build is great for fights with a lot of AoE damage, and most holy builds vary little from this mainframe." -WoWiki
- "Basic Shadow Raiding Build (14/0/57) [Current as of 3.2.0]
Number crunching has showed that the increased spirit effect from Improved Spirit Tap will improve your average spell power by some arbitrary number close to 6, and is therefore not worth the 5 talent points spent in it. This build takes all the necessary talents to improve DPS, as well as raid survival skills such as Improved Vampiric Embrace, and Focused Mind to improve mana efficiency. It's a solid raiding build." – WoWiki
List of Activities
Following these list of activities will get you the fastest way to be ready for epic raiding experiences!
5-man Heroic Dungeons
Every 5-Man is necessary to do. To get you all the Pre-Epic blues and some epics to get you ready for raids. But now Blizzard has made it easier to get geared so what I would recommend doing is 5-Man Trial Of Champions. All the gear that drops is Epic. Even in normal mode! So just Farm Normal mode then do heroic mode with a couple semi-geared people and you'll get geared enough for most raids to continue from there.
Both 10 & 25 Man Raids
Mandatory raid to complete every week is Vault of Archevon. Always a mandatory. It drops the best epic's that you could roll on and win from doing easy bosses. The next raid's I would suggest is Onyxia & Obsidian Sanctum.
Find a Good raiding Guild
Finding a raiding guild could possibly be your key to getting into every raid you need and getting down bosses easily. It could possibly be the quickest fastest way to get geared because you have people dedicated to helping you =)
Build Reputation with Factions
Buying Tabards from each reputation faction and building up rep by doing Heroics will get you revered then exalted to get epic gear with gold!
As far as Specs and actual PVE guides go. I would encourage any viewer to send me their Spec and how they play so I can post it for them! Or leave a comment. More info will be coming soon. You can e-mail me your specs and guides or ideas to email@example.com

Clement Filly Has Some Allure
Today's feature, the Voo Doo Dan Stakes for fillies and mares going a mile and a sixteenth on the inner turf will require a medicine man to have a strong opinion here.
Six of the 11 entered can win this and while speed has been carrying better this week on the inner turf, the pace scenario here is muddled, making this a rider's race. With everyone playing off the break, handicappers are forced to guess.
You guess; you lose. What I know is the following: Belle Allure (4-1) never had a chance in her recent return because she was badly compromised by the pace. Now, with that race under her belt, she will improve and has the back figures to dominate these on her "A" race.
Taking Belle Allure to win at 4-1 or more, boxing her in the exacta with Leamington (6-1) and Colina Verde (6-1).
Running Totals: (496) 148-102-69 Total Dollar Return: $1,017.50 [win selections only]

The Ducks look pretty healthy otherwise for Saturday's 2 p.m. game at Washington State.
Williams played with the clubbed hand in last week's 52-31 victory over Stanford and, Tuinei was icing the hand during practices last week, so neither of those injuries is fresh.
Also on Oregon's injury report were tackle Mark Asper (illness), safety Eddie Pleasant (shoulder) and tight end Malachi Lewis (head).
Pleasant and Lewis appeared to me to be practicing without restriction. Asper was present, but not wearing pads.
Asper's spot on the line was filled by Darrion Weems, who has been the Ducks' super sub on the line this year. He has started three times at left tackle, once in place of Carson York, with Bo Thran sliding from left tackle to left guard, once in place of C.E. Kaiser, with Thran moving to left guard and York to right guard, and once in place of Thran.
"Darrion's a starter," UO coach Chip Kelly said. "It's the same as our D-line. There doesn't have to be one, set group. Darrion has played a significant number of snaps. He helps us in our rotation, He's gotten better and better.
"He had a great offseason. He really has changed his body. We're really excited about where he is right now."
Asked about Jackson Rice, Kelly said the UO punter has been outstanding.
"He's been a legitimate weapon for us," Kelly said. "His performance at Arizona State, we had 11 punts for a 46-yard average; his performance at Tennessee, where he had four punts and put them all inside the 20 yard line, two inside the 10 ...
"I'm not a big fan of punting, because that means we're not doing a good job on offense. But when he has to kick for us he can really change the field-position battle."
The Ducks concluded Wednesday's practice with a ones vs ones and two vs twos drill, "Circle of LIfe" from the musical "The Lion King" blaring over the Moshofsky Center speakers.
It was the theatrical version of the song, not the movie version.
"This one has crowd noise," Kelly said. "For us, we're just trying to see what we can get that is very loud."
Besides, Kelly said, "this is a good rendition. We like it."

Genre: Drama/Action/Thriller

Starring: NICOLE KIDMAN, SEAN PENN, CATHERINE KEENER
Released by: Universal Pictures

much access; so little interest
Andrew Bender

on a string – the crew for "The Interpreter"
was given unprecedented access to locations inside United
Nations headquarters. But my how the world can be ravaged.
This story is hard to care about, poorly told and embarrassingly
Interpreter" starts out as a perfectly serviceable
action film. From an assassination in a dusty, fictional
country in Africa, we cut to the bookish yet gorgeous
Silvia (Nicole Kidman), a translator at the United Nations.
Silvia gets herself in a world of trouble by innocently
returning to pick up some belongings after the building
is locked down for a security lapse.
a while, it looks like the film is actually going somewhere.
There's an African dictator and his thugs, and Secret
Service agents led by Sean Penn and Catherine Keener (we
could have used more of her), but nothing much happens
among them. Silvia is mixed up in it, then she's
not, then she is... and so it plods for two-plus hours.
characters' motivations are hazy, on-screen chemistry
is virtually nil, and some plot points make no sense.
Characters take long stretches to emote (there's
no time for that in a thriller!) and shuffle through everyday
actions that are just d-u-l-l. If the United Nations is
actually this boring, you should be glad you failed that
Foreign Service exam.
sad because Pollack is one of our great directors ("The
Way We Were," "Tootsie," "Out
of Africa," and "the Firm"), and "The
Interpreter" clearly has grand aspirations—the
script tells us that every chance it gets. Characters
wax (and wax and wax) on themes of death, vengeance and
patriotism, but we were ready to walk out the door before
there was any payoff.

In times of recession, and the phrase "staycation" popping up all over magazines and television spotlights, getting a bargain is the best way of not only keeping one's sanity (we all need our downtime) but also making the most of your hard-earned dollars.
You've likely heard and will continue to hear complaints from the Hollywood studios that ticket sales are down, and they are.
But just like now's a great time for buyers to purchase a car (presumably, that is), so too is it a great time to be a consumer.
Remember Blockbuster Video's slogan, "Whoa. What a difference"? Those were the good ol' days, and once we bring that slogan into contemporary times, as we can see, it really is a difference. Movie rentals aren't what they used to be.
Sometime between the widespread availability of DVDs and Blockbuster's nemesis Netflix started delivering movies straight to your mailbox without late fees, the counterculture began to change. People really started to stay at home, at least when it came to renting movies.
Now for the average price of about $3.99 you can stay at home and access new releases on Tuesday and never have to leave your living room.
Though the bootleg market is as strong as ever, the truth remains, they've never taken much from the market as a whole. Those who want quality entertainment usually pay for that entertainment. The issue now is that most of these consumers have been affected by the economy in way one or another, but would you rather pay $4 for a two-night rental or $1?
Redbox offers just that. Though you will at first feel slightly out of the water, as I did, standing amongst shopping carts and vending machines as you try to make your selection, it's a rather neat way of getting movies quickly – minimize the wait time, slash the cost. Very simple.
Using a free rental voucher I got from their website (www.redbox.com) I tested it out at a nearby Walmart store (you'll find them at Meijer too). Fairly simple stuff. You select from several categories, which can be broken up into genre if you prefer (sci-fi, suspense, drama, etc.).
My only issue is that there were approximately three pages maximum to scroll through under your preferred category. The selections are current enough ("Watchmen," "Coraline"), but I prefer a wider canvas to stretch my fingers across. According to the website, you can actually place your order online and retrieve your DVD at your preferred Redbox location. In theory this could be a good thing. Obviously in terms of selection, Netflix has Redbox beat, but in the neighborhood of convenience and decreasing the wait period between rental exchanges, Redbox should certainly be a contender in the next year or so.
Bottom line? It's $1 per movie, per night. It's a better deal than either Netflix or Blockbuster online (Blockbuster's attempt at "riffing" on the Netflix model).
Of course, you'll probably find it difficult to beat $1. If you're looking to do that, you can always take a stroll to your library. Yes, the library.

Obama's cutting off long-time trade benefits for Bangladesh will invalidate the breaks on tariffs that the US gives Bangladesh under the 'Generalized System of Preferences', which is a World Trade Organization programme.

If you know what a vaporizer is, you would know that it is considered a far better alternative to smoking. The thing most people do not understand is the reason it is better.
Why Vaporize?
The process of combustion has been used for centuries by our ancestors and tobacco is the most commonly burned herb. Combustion releases the ingredients in tobacco. The main problem with combustion is that along with the essential elements, also releases toxins that cause immense harm to the body. Lung and throat cancers are two of the worst diseases attributed to smoking.
An alternative method to smoking is vaporization, which provides the same effect as smoking and releases the essential elements from tobacco. The crucial difference is that it does not release the harmful toxins, because combustion does not take place and the plant material does not burn during the vaporization process.
The harmful toxins released through combustion are CO2, carbon monoxide, tar, ash and several other carcinogenic elements that cause cancer. Another aspect of smoking is that the throat and lungs are subjected to high heat, which also causes damage, irrespective of what the herb is.
Combustion also kills the active ingredients in the herbs. According to studies, between 30 to 50 percent of the ingredients in tobacco and any other herb are destroyed when the plant material undergoes combustion. This means that apart from the harmful effects that smoking causes, even the essential ingredients of the plant are destroyed, which makes the whole process useless and nothing but a self-destruction strategy.
The beauty of vaporization is that it warms the plant material to a lower temperature than the temperature at which combustion takes place. This enables the essential elements of the herbs to release in the form of vapor. Since vaporization does not burn the herbs, the essential elements of the herb can be enjoyed by the user, without inhaling any unwanted toxins. There is no issue of smoke being inhaled or odor either. Vapor is also much cooler than smoke and does not damage the throat or lungs in any way.
These are the reasons why vapor is certainly better than smoke and vaporizers are making a mark for themselves in this world that has gotten used to smoking. Vaporization provides the enjoyment and satisfaction along with health that smoking cannot.

Janella Spears is an Idiot. Just Sayin'.
Janella Spears isn't a sucker. Nope, not at all.
Okay, even if I assumed that sending the $100 through the untraceable wire account to help some unknown relative sounded like a good idea--which, no, it doesn't--that doesn't go far in explaining the rest of the $400,000 that she gave away.
Even worse, the reason I keep getting those damned spam emails on a daily basis from someone telling me that I've won a lottery I've never entered, am going to reap millions for helping some poor widow smuggle money out of Zimbabwe, or that a long, lost relative left me untold wealth in his will is because it works. I'll only stop getting those emails when greedy idiots like Janella Spears stop sending their money to con men.
Nearly half a million dollars pissed away and she can still say, with a straight face, that she wasn't a sucker or an easy target.
And for the record, it wasn't any desire to help that long-lost relative that caught her; it was the $20.5 million bucks that she was promised. Any pretense to the contrary is a lie.
