An aversion to variance
Variance swaps have proven tricky beasts to risk manage. These instruments grant investors a payout equal to the difference between realised variance and a pre-agreed strike level, times the vega notional. But because variance is the square of volatility, an unpredictable trading environment can have dramatic effects on variance positions. As a consequence, bad bets on variance have led to significant losses for users in the past. Towards the end of 2008, they struck once again. After September's...

Q: we're here with Coach Ed Schilling. New on the job here at UCLA for… about three weeks?
ES: since the Final Four so…
Q: since the Final Four. Yeah, so we're about three weeks. First, tell us just a little bit about the whole… your whole transition… How it's been, arriving here, and then immediately hitting… first of, the workouts and recruiting. How this has all been.
ES: well, it's been great. More than anything, it was not something that I obviously was looking to do. I was in a great situation in Indiana. I had a lot of things going on from our… everything from getting guys ready for the draft, my NBA players in the summer. Then I get ready for training camp and all that. To a not-for-profit which is Champions Academy which is college-age on down, so we had everyone from Doug McDermott, maybe a college player that you know, all the way down to little kids…
Q: right.
ES: …that we run year-round. You know, we'll have foreign kids come in and work out. We had kids during the year from other countries. So I had that going on, plus I coached a high school team, Park Tudor High School. It's, I think people know, [Kevin "Yogi" Ferrell], who plays starting point guard as a freshman at Indiana, was one of my players. But anyway, I didn't teach at this school or anything. I just coached the team which was fun. I did four years of that. In addition to then other little things like adidas Nations and things like that so I had a really good situation so I wasn't looking. In fact, I turned down many college jobs over the last few years. Not that they're not special, I don't mean that, but I just… I've had opportunities and I just loved what I was doing, but the opportunity to go with Steve Alford was so appealing because one, I know I've known him since high school. I've coached against his dad. I actually guarded Steve in college when I was at Miami of Ohio. I played with Ron Harper who was with the Clippers for a little bit and the Lakers for some championships, the Bulls, the Cavs. But anyway… so I played against him plus we actually wrote a book together.
Q: yeah, he told me.
ES: yeah, so… when…
Q: he said you might still have it. He didn't know if it was in print.
ES: oh yeah. I still have one some place. One of the three. No, it's actually… you can go to Barnes & Noble and get it and stuff like that. But anyway, but… so we've been friends for many, many years. And so when that became available… and the fact that it was UCLA. I mean, it's the … being a John Wooden, you know, if there's anybody I wanted to be like as a coach, it was John Wooden. Being an Indiana high school coach, I got a chance to, through Doug Erickson and I guess Steve Lavin at the time, got me… sit four hours in his living room. And so, to come back and actually be where he was and where the legend was formed over so many years and the impact and to be with one of your best friends in the world, it was just too much to pass up.
Q: I can see that. How long did it take before… when he offered you the job before you accepted? Was it pretty quick?
ES: yeah, it was quick. I talked to my wife, and it was one of those things where, "Yeah, we can't not do it." And then, I had, you know… it was such a special, unique thing that it made it such that it wasn't a lot of deliberation. I mean, if it was just Steve Alford, it would've been tough to pass up. UCLA. But you put the two together, and it's… it was one of those really, really special once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
Q: so your wife's a coach.
ES: yes.
Q: now, what's she planning on doing out here?
ES: well, she due June 28. So she was coaching a high school team and obviously, she coached here in California. She played at Tennessee for Pat Summitt for three years. Was the starting point guard in two national championship games. And then, played her last year at Santa Barbara and then was on the staff there.
Q: oh, that's right. That's right.
ES: yeah, so, even played in some WNBA. So, more than anything, she's just going to work on being a mom here. So…
Q: sure.
ES: … the timing was great because, you know, she wanted to do that, and she was kind of helping do the women's part of Champions Academy and coaching it. With the baby, this allows her to just really focus on that for now.
Q: so you're going to raise California kids?
ES: exactly. That's right. Two Indiana people, from small-town Indiana, just coming to LA, you know?
Q: that's how, you know, that's how it is. Everybody is from some place else.
ES: that's right.
Q: for most people anyway. So, you've been doing the workouts and, you know, we have to say, it's… you know, in talking with some of the players, and it's been trickling out on Twitter and whatever… they've been just overwhelmed by how great the workouts have been.
ES: oh, no, they're kind. They've been incredibly receptive, they've worked extremely hard, and it's… I've, I'm fortunately… I've had a relationship prior to coming here was about four of them. The Wear twins, with Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams, I've known through adidas Nations so I had some… you know, we had a relationship coming in. I think that helped. And then they've just been so receptive. And so it's been really, really a blessing for me.
Q: how… literally, how have those workouts gone in terms of the specific players? Talk a little bit about what you see as some of their strengths, what they need to work on… Kyle… I mean, one of the biggest questions right now, is without a true point guard on the roster, would Kyle Anderson be able to step in and fill that role as a point guard next year? How are you seeing that after the workouts?
ES: well, I know the SID [sports information director] just came in and gave me the can't-talk-about-anything-specific. You can't say anything so…
Q: sure.
ES: all I can say is, you know what? They've done well in the workouts. I know Kyle Anderson as a point guard from adidas Nation so I've not seem him as anything but an offensive point guard.
Q: right.
ES: so I remember watching him go head-to-head with Yogi Ferrell in adidas Nations every week so, you know, they went at it. And so I know he is a high level point guard. At least offensively. Now, defensively and stuff like that, I haven't really locked in on that, but you know, I know he… coming out of high school, he was, at adidas Nations, he was a pure point.
Q: sure.
ES: So, you know, I don't know that he's… I can't imagine that he's not still. Again, I've seen them… what I'm doing with the guys in the skill work is what I do with our guys for predraft and we've had probably 60 pros come through our predraft in the last six or seven years. Quite a few lottery picks. Guards from like Mike Conley to Jeff Teague to Gordon Hayward, out here a little bit. You know, guys like Carl Landry. I'm trying to think of the guys that are playing out here on the West coast.
Q: sure.
ES: you might know Jarrett Jack. So, you know, I've had a lot of NBA guys so what I'm doing with these guys is what I do with our NBA guys to get them ready for the predraft workouts. And so what we're really doing is kind of laying a core fundamentals. So it's not necessarily anything that's going to be real specific to how we're going to play. It's just dribble, pass, shoot, defend… so we're just working on core fundamentals. So, you know, and I think that every player regardless of position. Like we had Greg Oden in our predraft. Well, Greg Oden and Mike Conley, we were doing the same drills, as a seven footer and a six footer. Same stuff we're doing with these guys now.
Q: that's right. adidas Nations… your relationship with them and your involvement there, how do you think that will benefit you, being an assistant coach at UCLA?
ES: well, I know that like… I'm going through a lot of the recruiting stuff…
Q: sure.
ES: …and it's like, "Well, gosh, I've known him for three years. I've known him. Oh, yeah, he was on my team. He played for me all last summer."
Q: right.
ES: you know, so I know a lot of these guys through Nations. Now, will that translate into them signing? I don't know, but if nothing else, it gives us great common ground. They have a feel for who I am. Back before they could do anything for me…
Q: right.
ES: …I was trying to help them, and so I think they see my hardest to help them become better basketball players, and they've seen me before we started all the recruiting pitch, you know, so…
Q: they saw you in your true state.
ES: yes.
Q: they've become the recruiter.
ES: exactly. Or the other recruiters. It's like, "Hey, well at least I know what this guy's like."
Q: sure.
ES: and out of that, they can kind of trust… "Okay, if he's going to be with Steve Alford, then okay, they're probably cut of the same cloth." And so I think it gives us… if nothing else, it gives us a great entry point on some of the top players.
Q: having been a head coach at the college level, how does that… how does that help you, being an assistant coach at this level? Just what kind of perspective do you have in terms of recruiting or coaching… how do you think that benefits you?
ES: well, it's a lot different. Those 12 inches are a lot different. And as you… I really… I was Coach [John] Calipari's assistant at UMass, with the New Jersey Nets, and then two years at the University of Memphis. So I've been an assistant coach. But I've been a head coach a lot more. And I think, more than anything, I have a better feel for what he's going through. You know, when you lose a game or you have something, a bad practice as an assistant coach, it's like, "dangit. Boy I wished we had won. Boy I wished we practiced better. *yawn* I'm going to sleep now."
Q: sure.
ES: As a head coach, you lay there with your eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling, and so, I think, more than anything, I have a great empathy for what's going on, and I think I can anticipate issues before they happen and try to make sure it never gets to his office, never gets to his plate. I want to make sure that we're going to be able to take care of things. And so, you know, having been the one that's had to make all the decisions, hopefully I'll be able to help him make better decisions and be able to keep him from having to deal with things he doesn't need to deal with.
Q: that's a really interesting point. So much… the dynamic of a staff … has to do with a lot of the assistants dealing with those issues, dealing with a lot of the personal issues of the players. How… given that the feel you have for the staff and having known Coach Alford, how do you see that working there? Always seems to be an assistant coach or maybe a couple who are designated to be the guys who are kind of the glue guys of the staff.
ES: right. Well, I think Duane [Broussard] is great in that because he's been with Steve the whole time at New Mexico.
Q: sure.
ES: and so, he kind of knows Steve from the perspective of, "Hey, this is how we did it at New Mexico." And then you got David Graces who kind of gives a little bit different perspective, having been in the PAC-12. He knows the conference. He's a tireless recruiter. Great with the West coast, knowing everybody in here and so I think he gives him that. What I can get him is, "Hey, I'm a basketball guy." And what I… you know, as we kind of have different emphasis in what we're going to be doing. I think my emphasis is going to be really on-the-court stuff, from the individual, you know, the skill work, the X's and O's and that type stuff, but also do some recruiting. These guys are gonna… they're focused on locking in on recruiting, but they'll also do basketball.
Q: sure.
ES: it's just a little bit different… My emphasis would be more on the on-court stuff and, "Alright, Steve, we're going through this. Alright, hey, I know what we're going through. I had the same thing happen when I was at Wright State in my fifth year or sixth year." You know.
Q: sure. Could it be that maybe you get the guys who are in adidas Nations? Those would be the guys you would be… that would emphasize that you would be recruiting?
ES: yeah, I mean, I think we're all going to chip in. I feel like the best recruiting is if it's not just, "Hey, this is my guy. And I got this guy."
Q: sure.
ES: I feel like we want to be a team in every respect. We're going to be a team in the recruiting. So yeah, I may know who Jim Shoe or whatever the recruit is, like I may have a great… but I want them to get to know David Grace. I want them to get to know Duane Broussard because I think it just strengthens our position. I feel so strongly about these two guys that I'm assistants with, that I think it's really going to take it to another level. Yeah, they know me and, yeah, that gets us in the door. Or they feel a comfort level, but I think as they get to know them, and then obviously with Coach Alford, I think now they really feel like, "Hey, this is a… this is a community." as opposed to just like, "Okay, that Coach Schilling's my guy."
Q: sure.
ES: and I want it to be… you know, I've seen it be negative on outside staffs where, "This was my recruit." And "I got him." Well, no, it's got to be, "We got him." And "He's our player." And "We're going to coach him."
Q: takes a coaching village.
ES: exactly. That's right. And I think it works best that way.
Q: as you know, you've been doing this a long time. There's such an emphasis now with recruits and with college players about style of play. They want to play up-tempo. It means… whenever you talk to a recruit, it's one of the first things out of their mouth. And you deal with a lot … you've dealt with a lot of kids through adidas Nations. How much do you think that is a critical aspect in recruiting of getting someone to come to your school? How much do you think it means in terms of… you're in LA where, you know, "Showtime" was king and entertaining fans through style of play. How important do you think that is?
ES: well, I think, one, I don't know of any coach that is… they want to get as many easy baskets as you can, and I think we'll… at UCLA, we'll play as fast as our skill and talent level will allow. You know, if you're going to turn it over 30 times a game, you better not run. You better take a little bit better care of it. But I think it's a little bit. I think it's a factor. But I think if you win, I think… you know, now obviously, if you're scoring in the 40s, it's a different story, but…
Q: sure.
ES: … I know Steve is … he's, shoot, he had games at Indiana where he's scoring 40 himself. So, I mean, he's going to play as fast as our skill level can dictate, and I think, due to the fact… the nature of this campus and where it is and the tradition, I think we're going to be able to recruit guys that can play fast, that can score lots of points, but the bottom line, if you score 100 points and they're scoring 105 and you're losing, nobody wants to play for that.
Q: sure.
ES: no matter. It may be a fun style, but at the end of the day, they want to win. Kids want to win, and you know, I think as you get to know Coach Alford, he's… he wants to score points. I mean, that's how he made money in the game.
Q: sure. Thanks a lot, Coach. Really appreciate it.
ES: no, yes, thank you. My pleasure. Goodness.
Q: thanks.

Republicans never wanted social security, medicaid, medicare but dems did and imposed it on America.
There have been corporate bailouts with the present and past administrations but this is not Republican, it's liberal elite.
Republicans want to decentralize govt. in order to preserve indiv. freedom and dems want control and and want to contain indiv. freedom.

"Couldn't have worked out any better for in terms of what I'm looking for at this stage of my career," Dunleavy said. "Just really happy about it and looking forward to rocking and rolling this year."
"Pretty humble group for coming off winning a championship and going to the Finals two years in a row," Dunleavy said following Thursday's practice, his third with his new teammates. "They like to joke around and have a good time, but when it gets down to doing work they're serious, put the time in and you don't always see that with teams. I've been on a lot of teams where guys come and go, show up five minutes before practice and leave right after. We have our best players here an hour and a half early and stay an hour and a half late. Quite honestly, that's kind of new to me."

Military Retiree Health Benefits:
Enrollment Low in Federal Employee Health Plans under DOD Demonstration
GAO-03-547: Published: Jun 6, 2003. Publicly Released: Jun 6, 2003.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Prior to 2001, military retirees who turned age 65 and became eligible for Medicare lost most of their Department of Defense (DOD) health benefits. The DOD-Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) demonstration was one of several demonstrations established to examine alternatives for addressing retirees' lack of Medicare supplemental coverage. The demonstration was mandated by the Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999 (NDAA 1999), which also required GAO to evaluate the demonstration. GAO assessed enrollment in the demonstration and the premiums set by demonstration plans. To do this, GAO, in collaboration with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and DOD, conducted a survey of enrollees and eligible nonenrollees. GAO also examined DOD enrollment data, Medicare and OPM claims data, and OPM premiums data.
Enrollment in the DOD-FEHBP demonstration was low, peaking at 5.5 percent of eligible beneficiaries in 2001 (7,521 enrollees) and then falling to 3.2 percent in 2002, after the introduction of comprehensive health coverage for all Medicare-eligible military retirees. Enrollment was considerably greater in Puerto Rico, where it reached 30 percent in 2002. Most retirees who knew about the demonstration and did not enroll said they were satisfied with their current coverage, which had better benefits and lower costs than the coverage they could obtain from FEHBP. Some of these retirees cited, for example, not being able to continue getting prescriptions filled at military treatment facilities if they enrolled in the demonstration. For those who enrolled, the factors that encouraged them to do so included the view that FEHBP offered retirees better benefits, particularly prescription drugs, than were available from their current coverage, as well as the lack of any existing coverage. Monthly premiums charged to enrollees for individual policies in the demonstration varied widely--from $65 to $208 in 2000--with those plans that had lower premiums and were better known to eligible beneficiaries, capturing the most enrollees. In setting premiums initially, plans had little information about the health and probable cost of care for eligible beneficiaries. Demonstration enrollees proved to have lower average health care costs than either their counterparts in the civilian FEHBP or those eligible for the demonstration who did not enroll. Plans enrolled similar proportions of beneficiaries in poor health, regardless of whether they charged higher, lower, or the same premiums for the demonstration as for the civilian FEHBP. In commenting on a draft of the report, DOD concurred with the overall findings but disagreed with the description of the demonstration's impact on DOD's budget as small. As noted in the draft report, DOD's costs for the demonstration relative to its total health care budget were less than 0.1 percent of that budget. OPM declined to comment.

Cherry Chip Cornflake Cookies
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 12 mins
This cookie is the number one favorite in our family. The recipe originated from the back of a package of Barg and Foster Cherry Chips, probably in the early 1960's. The chips are very hard to find where I live, but if you are lucky enough to find them in your area, these are wonderful!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 1⁄4 cups flour
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup soft butter or 1 cup margarine
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 3⁄4 cup corn flakes (crumbled)
- 5 ounces miniature cherry chips
- Cream butter, sugar, egg and flavoring.
- Add flour and salt.
- Stir in cornflakes and cherry chips.
- Roll into 1" balls, placing onto ungreased cookie sheets.
- Press with fork lenthwise and crosswise, and sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove from pan while warm.

I have been looking everywhere for the Barg and Foster recipe. Thanks for posting it! I remember making these at Christmas time!! Hope that the cherry chips that I find are as good as B&F!
Very nice recipe. I had been looking for the cherry chips for a while and just found them at my local Walmart yesterday. 3 cups of cornflakes makes 1 cup of crumbs for those of you wondering. This is a very tender cookie.. but has a nice crunch because of the cornflakes.
Lovely shortbread cookies with a crunch from the cornflakes and little bursts of color and flavor from cherry chips. Used Log House chips which I ordered from Amazon. Since they came in a 6-pack, I'm sure we'll be making these again! Thanks for sharing he recipe!

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this movie will scare young kids. Slightly less creepy than the book on which it was based, the movie is still quite dark, and the "other" world that Coraline discovers turns into a frightening, dangerous place where she could very well die (and other ghost children already have). Your young kids may be interested in seeing the movie thanks to the massive marketing campaign, but this isn't an age-appropriate pick for them. This movie deals with mature themes -- being careful what you wish for, thinking the grass is always greener, and being disappointed in your parents -- that are best suited for tweens and up. Language is mostly insults (like "jerkwad" and "idiot"), and sexuality is limited to two scantily dressed elderly actresses in one memorable scene.

What's the story?
Coraline Jones (voiced by Dakota Fanning) is an only child who's unhappy about moving to a new house with her self-absorbed parents (Teri Hatcher and John Hodgman), who are too busy working to spend any time with her. The other inhabitants of their building are an eccentric crew: Russian mouse-circus ringmaster Mr. Bobinksy (Ian McShane) and bickering actresses Miss Spink and Miss Forcible (Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French), who are about six decades past their prime. When Coraline (never CARoline) opens a small hidden door in her apartment, she discovers a secret passageway to a parallel other world where everything -- her parents, her house, her neighbors, her magical garden -- seems way better ... or is it? Eventually, Coraline's dream world reveals itself to be a frightening, perilous place.
Is it any good?
In CORALINE, director Henry Selick, a stop-motion master best known for The Nightmare Before Christmas, creates a magical, colorful nether-world that's also dark and disturbing. At first, in addition to offering Coraline attentive "Other" parents, the alternate universe boasts a dazzling garden and a fantastic circus and theater acts, courtesy of the Other neighbors. Coraline, along with the audience, gets swept into the magic -- but there's an unnerving edge to all of the perfection. Everyone has buttons for eyes, except for Coraline and a mysterious talking cat (Keith David) that warns Coraline that her Other Mother isn't as warm and loving as she seems.
The 3-D effects (Coraline is Hollywood's first 3-D stop-motion film) are cool without being overwhelming, and the story is a two-pronged cautionary tale -- for parents and kids not to take each other for granted, and for people not to dwell on whether the grass is greener, because it could all be a huge, horrifying charade. Coraline ultimately learns that sometimes imperfect, messy lives aren't always as bad as they seem. Considering how formulaic so many family movies are , Coraline is a refreshing and inventive film. While too intense for some tots, it's a memorable treat for families with thrill-seeking tweens and up.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the story's theme of wishing for a different, "better" life. Kids: Do you ever feel like Coraline? What about her parents made her initially prefer the Other Mother and Father?
How do both Coraline and her parents change over the course of the movie?
Do you think this movie is meant for little kids, or is it too scary?

Naples Luxury Imports Announces Double Honors for Jaguar in BusinessCar Awards
The Jaguar XF has been named BusinessCar's Executive Car of the Year for a second consecutive year, while XJ has taken the title of Luxury Car of the Year in the 2013 BusinessCar Awards.
Awards determined entirely by the business car industry, reflecting the opinions of business motorists and fleet operators and service providers
Paul Barker, BusinessCar Editor, said: "The Jaguar XF and XJ are two excellent products that combine the classy appeal necessary to succeed in these top-end sectors with the efficiency, quality and performance business car operators and drivers look for.
"The corporate sector is the most demanding of customers, and despite strong competition Jaguar's double success illustrates the excellent job it is doing."
The BusinessCarAwards are the only honors in the company car and van industry that are solely voted for by the readership.
Jeremy Hicks, Managing Director Jaguar Land Rover, said: "It's a great achievement for Jaguar to receive these awards, not least because they reflect the honest opinions of corporate and fleet professionals and customers, people who put quality, lasting value and performance under exceptional scrutiny.
"We value the corporate market very highly and we have recently raised our profile with the launch of an on-line tax calculator and car comparison service, helping more customers discover just how strong a proposition our models are."
The XF range gained further appeal in 2012 with the introduction of the new Sportbrake and the debut of new high-efficiency 2.2-litre diesel engines with eight-speed automatic transmission and Stop/Start technology, delivering 55.4mpg official combined cycle fuel economy.
The XJ line-up has also been rendered even more desirable for 2013, gaining a new 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine and benefiting from the same fuel and emissions-efficient automatic transmission and Stop/Start system as the XF. Its luxury status has been enhanced with DAB digital tuner reception being made a standard feature, the introduction of an advanced Meridian premium audio system and the option of a new Comfort Suspension Pack across the entire range.

OaklandClubhouse: Has anyone really jumped out at you so far?
Keith Lieppman: You know the first one is Dusty Coleman. He has really been outstanding after a long injury and multiple surgeries and disappointments. He has come back and really looked good so far both offensively and defensively. Everything about his game is actually better than when he left. He is bigger and stronger and he looks great so far.
OC: He's not limited at all then?
KL: No.
OC: Do you think he'll go back to Stockton to start the season?
KL: He will probably start at Stockton just to get back into the flow of things, but he has certainly looked good enough to play at a higher level.
OC: Is it hard to find the appropriate spot for everyone in the infield with Coleman returning from surgery and all of the infield guys the team has drafted the last few years?
KL: It is really difficult at every level because we are starting to get backed up a little bit with some of our key personnel. And then you have someone like our Player of the Year Grant Green and Stephen Parker coming off of a huge year and they have to be pushed. And Michael Spina is another guy who really did well. So you advance the guys who had the great years. Sometimes the injuries put you a little behind the eight ball. You aren't necessarily in position, but it doesn't mean that you are out either. You find a way to make sure they get at-bats. In the end, things have a way of working themselves out.
[Coleman] will certainly get that opportunity. It's just unfortunate that he had to go through that long period of time of being out.
OC: Do you think sometimes when a player has that long of a layoff, it can give him the opportunity to work on things he wouldn't have worked on before?
KL: He couldn't swing during that period. His wrist was hurt to such a degree that he couldn't physically do much. But he did physically get stronger with lifting and his legs, with the agility and all of that. So he improved in those areas. I guess there is a silver lining in every injury if you treat them the right way. A lot of players don't look for the other areas that they could improve on and they come back less than what they were before, but he took it upon himself to make something out of it.
OC: Ryan Ortiz finished the year banged up. Is he back 100 percent?
KL: No, he's DHing right now and has been outstanding. He's another one who hitting-wise is doing great. He's squaring the ball up regularly. He's got a good approach. He's doing everything offensively. He just can't throw. He's in a throwing program and more than likely will start the season in Arizona [at extended spring training] and then we will see how things go from there. If there is a place where he can finish his rehab and still DH, certainly that would be looked at. But I think at this point the rehab is more important than the at-bats. He can get those here in Arizona and still stay sharp.
OC: How has Wilfredo Solano looked?
KL: He came back [here] after playing in a parallel league. I think they call it Paralela in Venezuela. He is probably going to start at this level [Rookie ball] and play a full year here in Arizona, unless things change dramatically between now and this summer. But he looks good. We've played him at short and second. He isn't probably in contention for one of those higher positions [with a full-season affiliate]. At 18, he probably isn't ready. But he certainly has looked good and we are happy where he is at.
OC: Is he adjusting to being here in the States? That's got to be a huge adjustment.
KL: Yeah. I think just having him here for Instructional League put him in a position where it wasn't too overwhelming. Now it is easy for him to assimilate into the group.
OC: Speaking of young players, how are Aaron Shipman, Yordy Cabrera and Chad Lewis fitting in?
KL: Probably the guy who has the best chance of going out to any of the [full-season] clubs is Cabrera right now. He seems to be the most advanced of the group. It's still a battle for Shipman and Lewis to see if they go out to the Midwest League, but it is probably more likely that they will start in Vermont and work their way up. That is probably the best way for their advancement right now. Don't try to push them above their level.
There is a silver lining in being [in Arizona at extended spring] everyday. You get one-on-one attention. You don't have the bad weather in the Midwest. Their development speeds up tremendously because they've got cages and they've got six instructors down here. There are people who can constantly individualize the attention. Whereas in a season, you are worried about the games. One day they may not hit or they may not play for four or five days in a row. That makes it difficult for them to improve their skills. They need to play and be out there every day.
OC: With Cabrera, do you think his polish comes from having a father who has been a player and a coach for so long?
KL: I think so. Also his ability to be in the Dominican [Cabrera is from the Dominican but went to high school in Florida]. We took him to the instructional league there. He has experienced a number of different environments and he has been around it his whole life. It's been advantageous for him right now.
OC: One guy who did jump from high school to the Midwest League last year was Max Stassi. I saw that he is on the Double-A roster at the moment. Do you feel comfortable with him going to High-A Stockton to start the year even though last year was a bit of a rough season for him?
KL: Yeah. I think at this stage with what we have seen so far and having gone through big league camp and just being in the position where he's at right now, it's a positive move. He's receiving the ball well and he has a really good sense of handling the pitching staff. There are so many things about him that are exciting. There are some things about his offense that will need to be continually worked on. He has a tendency to chase outside the 'zone, but the power is there and he has a really good approach. And that's just experience at that point.
It's really the reverse situation for him. Most catchers go the other way – they are hitters first and then learn to receive. He is maybe one of our best catchers in the system defensively.
OC: What is Ian Krol's situation at the moment? I see he hasn't been pitching in games.
KL: He strained his forearm. He will probably have to start the season in Arizona. It wasn't as bad as Andrew Bailey's, but a similar type of injury.
OC: The organization has signed a number of high-profile, if that is the word for it, talent from the international market recently. Has that changed the feel of the Dominican Academy?
KL: It has. It has sort of changed our approach down there. We have put a full-time American trainer there all of the time – Phil Mastro – and we've implemented a strength and conditioning program that mirrors exactly what we are doing here. We have a full set of educational classes that include intense English classes. We are upping all aspects of our Dominican program to match the type of talent we have acquired with Renato Nunez and there is a kid named Michael Soto we really like. There is a whole lot of money that we have invested in these kids down there right now. Vicmal De La Cruz is another. He will be here for the extended spring training program.
OC: Could he stick in Arizona or will he be sent back to the Dominican Summer League when that season starts?
KL: A lot of these kids, according to their contracts, they are going to lose a whole lot of money if they spend their first year in Arizona. So in that case, he may only be able to be here through extended and then the instructional league. He may have to go back and play the season in the Dominican.
OC: He's pretty advanced then?
KL: Hitting-wise. He's got a great attitude. He's one of the best young pure hitters I've seen. It's a matter of putting him in a position where he can learn all of the other finer things. He has no English skills. It's going to be a very interesting progression for him when he walks in here because he doesn't have any skill level at all [with English].
OC: I saw the "Tommy John bunch" Michael Ynoa, Pedro Figueroa and Julio Ramos hanging out together. How are they progressing?
KL: Really good. No set-backs. Nice, conservative program that is leading them into pitching at some point this summer. We are hopeful. They are still in the flat-ground portion of their rehab. It's an ongoing process, but they are on target. There are going to be set-backs later when they step back up on the mound and break some curveballs off and change-ups. It's also been good to have them here since January 23rd or whenever it was.
OC: Is the plan to have them spend the year in Arizona?
KL: They'll be here until we have the opportunity to send them out. Wherever it is, it isn't important where they pitch. It's a matter of getting innings.
OC: With Ramos, it looked like he was right on the edge of a breakout season before getting hurt. How much does an injury like this set a player back who was just about to make that leap?
KL: I don't know how some of these guys came back from their Tommy John surgeries in 10-12 months. It's beyond my understanding because I've watched Joey Devine and Josh Outman, really most of our Tommy Johns do not come back in that short of a period of time. It's more like 12-18 months. Fautino De Los Santos, it took him almost two years to fully recover. These guys are currently in that grey area right now [roughly 8-9 months removed from surgery]. I would tend to predict it will take longer than shorter, unless it is remarkable.
OC: With Fautino, he had some control issues in big league camp. Is he still trying to find that consistent release throwing mechanics?
KL: Yeah, it's all about his direction of his body. He's a power pitcher who has one of those Bob Gibson finishes where he falls off to the first base side [of the mound]. Some people can get away with it. He's gotten better. He's down in the 'zone. He had a good outing [on Wednesday]. Threw two good innings in 18 pitches, so that was a little bit of a break-through. He's on track and since Henry [Rodriguez] is gone, he's probably our best arm in the system.
OC: Do you think he will be able to jump up to Sacramento or will he start in Midland and work his way up?
KL: He may have to start in Midland just because of the backlog we currently have in Sacramento right now. But he's still being evaluated and certainly after [Wednesday] it was a very important step for him. He looked good.
OC: Did Andrew Carignan have a set-back? Is that why he's on the rehab list?
KL: He did. He hurt his foot and he's in a boot right now. We are on a wait-and-see with him. He's on a no-throw right now. He's like Adam Rosales, but not that bad, but he looks like him with his boot on. A matching pair.
OC: But it wasn't anything to do with his arm at all?
KL: No, no. His arm is good.
Stay tuned for more of this interview later this week.

Friday Finds: Daryl Hannah Gets Her Hands Dirty
Daryl Hannah faces off against tar sands pipeline
The Latest On: Oil
Daryl Hannah faces off against tar sands pipeline
Environmentalist author Chellis Glendinning's 2002 work of nonfiction, Off the Map, is an indictment of maps and cartography. Glendinning asserts that maps have historically served as tools of conquest that define the territory which is to be exploited.
<Updated in final paragraph>
Pop quiz: nearly 2 million gallons of chemicals are about to be dumped into the ocean where they will mix with oil gushing from a blown out well. Do you:
The U.S. Department of State today issued the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) for the Keystone XL pipeline project, which would transport tar sands crude oil from Alberta, Canada to the Gulf Coast.
D.C. police have arrested 160 people and counting, in response to a non-violent protest against the Keystone XL Tar Sands pipeline. Among those arrested-- Bill McKibben, prolific environmental author and co-founder of 350.org. Released today after three days in jail, McKibben encouraged the continuation of the two-week protest, which is taking place in front of the White House.
Apparently, Shell Oil and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) live in a land of make believe. Thankfully, Earthjustice makes its abode in a place called reality.
Monsanto's herbicide harms plants it's meant to protect
Last summer, we were captivated by a live video feed of oil spewing from a broken well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. The Deepwater Horizon disaster woke up America to the dangers of offshore oil drilling, and the government was quick to act.
Tequila takes a shot at decreasing gasoline use
Perhaps inspired by the triple-digit heat afflicting Washington D.C., the House of Representatives is putting legislative flames to our important environmental and public health protections.
Earthjustice is the premier nonprofit environmental law organization. We wield the power of law and the strength of partnership to protect people's health, to preserve magnificent places and wildlife, to advance clean energy, and to combat climate change. We are here because the earth needs a good lawyer.

Rare chicken breeds are indeed rare. The rare breeds that we offer are actually only bred by a handful of different hatcheries in the United States. Some of these breeds are sought after by farmers and poultry raisers all over the world. Some are kept for their production qualities while others are kept simply for their beautiful plumage.
Often times it is simply a unique color variation of a particular breed that make it rare. However, some breeds themselves are simply hard to find due to a lack of breeding stock throughout the United States. Many of these breeds are native to regions other than the United States, another aspect that makes them so rare. This does in fact limit the supply of these rare breeds. Despite this, eFowl strives to make sure all of our rare breeds are available throughout as many months as possible.
The Livestock Conservancy also tracks the number of active breeding stocks of certain rare heritage breeds across the United States. They are categorized under a few different categories of conservation status depending on how scarce they actually are. It's important to purchase and breed these rare heritage breeds to help ensure the preservation of genetic diversity. Many cary genetic traits that are hard to find among other heritage breeds, and the only way to preserve them is to continue breeding for them.

Al Gore is not responsible for those alleged global warmicides
After a year's worth of unhinged lefties blaming conservative bloggers, pundits, and activists for every crime spree on the planet, it would be just deserts to blame Al Gore for the alleged global warming-inspired murders reported in the UK Daily Mail today. But count me out of that game. For starters, the story is sketchy:
A seven-month-old baby girl survived three days alone with a bullet in her chest beside the bodies of her parents and toddler brother.
Argentines Francisco Lotero, 56, and Miriam Coletti, 23, shot their children before killing themselves after making an apparent suicide pact over fears about global warming.
Their son Francisco, two, died instantly after being hit in the back.
But their unnamed daughter cheated death after the bullet from her dad's handgun missed her vital organs.
Paramedics rushed her to hospital covered in blood when police alerted by worried neighbours discovered the massacre three days later.
…Her parents said they feared the effects of global warming in a suicide note discovered by police.
I want to see the note. Were the references to global warming just one small part of a lengthy, nutball rant? Is this another bizarre, twisted hoax a la the Sparkman census scheme?
In any case, Al Gore is responsible for enough fraud and misery without overreaching and laying this strange case at his feet.
Leave the hysterical smear-mongering to Frank Rich, Andrew Sullivan, Paul Krugman, and Keith Olbermann.

Investors seem to take seriously the latest takeover chatter surrounding Walter Energy (WLT), sending shares +7.5% premarket as vague rumors circulate that bidders could emerge. BHP Billiton (BHP) is said to be interested again; Glencore (GLCNF.PK) could be another candidate; Anglo American has been mentioned in the past. Other coal names are up: ANR +1.9%, CNX +1.6%, ACI +1.3%, BTU +0.8%.

Walter takeout makes a lot of sense for BHP or Glencore who both have strong balance sheets. WLT is a small acquisition for either suitor and smart money buys companies when they are at lows such as WLT. Would not surprise me to see a bidding war given the quality of WLT's met coal and the fact that BHP and Glencore both need to put their excess cash to work for future growth.
As I've said before, BHP has little reason to buy WLT at a time that they are closing their own Australian coal mines and laying off their own coal workers. Alabama is also a lot farther from China than Australia, and sea freight costs money. It would make a lot of sense for a company that didn't have BHP's assets to load up on coal (although I believe they are about to get cheaper along with the reared of the market). But if I'm not mistaken BHP has these assets now (except closer to china) and they are currently shuttered. If they did do it it sounds more like a way of hedging against central bank printing by using their cash to buy real assets... But why WLT?

Season 11 of the Biggest Loser has already generated a lot of buzz, thanks in part to crew members going on strike during the show's filming. Happily, the disagreements were resolved, and we're looking forward to the show's premiere on January 4th at 8:00.

here read this
its an answer too the chilli bus driver attack
Hes off the bus is moving again hahaha ,
ah this is life ,it happens we move on,
there are desperate people out there but I also know who is to blame ,
and those people where not in the bus.
this guy just comes straight onto the bus and didnt even look to see who was sitting next to the driver ...WTF......what an idiot , everyone in the back of the bus where too scared too do anything.
This is the whole point , this video is it , we can sit by and watch them rob us blind forever ,right before our very eyes , if we sit and stare straight ahead and ignore it ,its only going to get worse.
And lets face it would life be worth living if we did nothing, not really and this is why this guy did something , because this was out rages behavior right out there in your face. He did the right thing.When doing the "right thing" we just act and thats it.
We are preconceiving our world too much , we must be united ,all of us together ,it is us or them .It has come to this now today , it is at that stage.
Stand up for what is right ,
be angry ,
know you are in the right when it comes to the dark establishment
because it is the elephant in the room , hard to miss
it is also a massive subject so it takes a lot of understanding to see it all.
They have split us into groups ,black, white,this people or that and we believe them and have fallen for it.
i see it here but I blame no one for that.
you see i grew up in NZ and have never actually learnt to be racist in any way at all.
in NZ you have to play rugby against Maori kids and we learn respect for other peoples on the rugby ground they where bigger than the white kids but where soft at a certain age.
i mean they puffed up more than pakeha(white people) around early teens and we found they could be easily tackled , its just that some where not like that and they often helped you win games those guys.
We mixed we integrated and that is the way I was brought up and have lived by it ever since, it is one of the blessings from growing up in NZ ,it is beautiful in many ways.
If i went too America I would say i would be shocked by the racism there .
too whatever your answers that you may think up ,just remember what i would see in America is that divisions have been created because of the power structure and fear.
Believe me ,some people can terrify you ,it is structured that way.
i grew up in an environment that wasnt like that really
pakeha got enriched by Maori and vs versa...............
In the end we all basically love each other through comrade ship ect.
There is a mutual understanding and we basically treat everyone in the world too varying degrees like this.
In Australia i was meant to laugh at Racist jokes or the hatred to wards the Aborigines but it was difficult.
Now ,I see we are all part of a human race ,one thing one being or the collective consciousness , the dark people are trying to destroy our light . Its that simple
THIS IS WHY IM SAying we all must /have to stick together black or white , it truly is this way now,especially now.
this is about our own survival
by degrading others we degrade ourselves
i saw something today ,,,,,they have the graves built and ready to bury people ....
the dark people
They are a dark ,malignant mass pf putrid ,foul smelling ,odorous stench that is fouling up our very heaven.
For those people who would like to go to heaven but sit by and see the world we live destroyed before our very eyes.
and what sort of heaven is that ...a foul smelling one ....no it is now ,this is it act on the side of righteousness.
we are all to blame
No , we are immortal we do live forever as eternity is always with us.
So why fear even death
when if our world becomes so sickened it will be worthless even heaven will not be worth it
why i love the world more than myself.
the battle for our immortal soul is on and it is now
Live from our hearts as it really is a battle for the hearts and minds...........OURS
By arguing about senseless things is senseless , always look at the big picture.
THEY WANT YOUR /our HEARTS AND MINDS ARE YOU/WE GOING TO GIVE THIS TOO THEM
That was just divine. Thank you for your presence on the thread, and at GLP. Greetings my brother. Australia and NZ have a role to play together in this. We are supposed to hold hands. I accept the one you are holding out, to all of mankind.

Posted on 12/04/2006 5:55:38 PM PST by blam
Infants Wheeze Less In Homes With Multiple Dogs
Living in a home with multiple dogs may help reduce an infants risk for developing wheezing in the first year of life, according to new research from the University of Cincinnati (UC).
Having multiple dogs in the home early in life may help prevent future allergy development in certain kids. (Image courtesy of University of Cincinnati)
Cincinnati researchers, led by David Bernstein, MD, have found that infants living in homes with high levels of endotoxins (bacterial contaminants) and multiple dogs were more than two times less likely to wheeze than other infants.
They found that wheezing was not associated independently with either dog or cat ownership or high levels of indoor endotoxins; however, high endotoxin exposures in homes that also had multiple dogs resulted in less wheezing.
Our research presents evidence that pet ownership offers a protective effect against development of lower respiratory symptoms in young children, adds Bernstein.
The UC-led teams findings conflict with earlier studies suggesting exposure to high endotoxin levels or pet ownership can protect against an increased risk for future allergic diseases, the UC team reports in the December edition of theJournal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
Exposure to high endotoxin levels in the home may not be an important determinant of aeroallergen sensitization during infancy, explains Bernstein, professor of immunology and senior author for the study. We do not yet understand how and why exposure to high levels of bacterial endotoxin and multiple dogs in the home exert a protective effect in these high-risk infants from wheezing early in life.
Endotoxins are natural compounds secreted from pathogens (disease-causing agents) like bacteria that are commonly found in the intestines and feces. Scientists believe that endotoxins can stimulate our immune systems in many different ways.
Our bodies are programmed to produce allergic responses early in life, Bernstein explains, but there are environmental factors like bacterial endotoxins that may modify the immune system and block development of allergies early in life.
The UC-led team analyzed the effects of pet ownership (cats and dogs) and endotoxin exposure in 520 infants enrolled in the Cincinnati Childhood Allergy and Air Pollution Study (CCAAPS) who were identified as being at greater risk for developing allergies because at least one parent had known allergies.
The CCAAPS, funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, is a five-year study examining the effects of environmental particulates on childhood respiratory health and allergy development.
Researchers collected dust samples from the infants homes to measure endotoxin levels. They also determined the number of siblings and gathered information about the home, including the presence of mold and second-hand smoke. Environmental and food allergy development was monitored through annual skin prick tests.
Previous studies have addressed the role of pet ownership in childhood allergy development; however, findings have been inconsistent, according to Bernstein. Until now, it was unclear whether animal ownership, endotoxin exposure or a combination of the two resulted in wheezing. Bernstein says further research is needed to determine if these early protective effects have long-term benefits.
Collaborators in this study include Manuel Villareal, MD, of Cincinnati Childrens Hospital Medical Center and UC colleagues Paloma Campo, MD, Hapinder Kalra, MD, Linda Levin, PhD, Tiina Reponen, PhD, Rolanda Olds, Zana Lummus, PhD, Seung-Hyun Cho, PhD, Gurjit Hershey, MD, PhD, James Lockey, MD, Sherry Stanforth and Grace LeMasters, PhD, principal investigator of the CCAAPS.
I wonder whose idea this study was.
Dogs are good for you in more ways than one.
Dog licks butt. Dog licks kid's face. Good for both!
Well, we have multiple dogs, often six in the house. And we have multiple kids & grandkids. It's gratifying to think we are benefitting their good health as well as everyone's entertainment.
Then kids in my home would be extra allergy free.
Any kids in my house will be thoroughly protected.
Yes thats what I was thinking too. Along with kid eating/drinking from dogs dish. If you have dogs it will happen at least once with each child guarenteed.
I guess the upshot is kids that aren't raised in clinically sterile environments do better in the real world ?
My son would drink from the dogs' dish, eat their (dry) IAMS food, and crawl in and out of the doggie door. For a while there I wasn't sure exactly which species he was.
Actually, pugs cannot lick their own butts. Therefor we have a pug. :o)
Those kids have never been around my pug when she farts. I wheeze and gag.
Guess what? I think you're 100% right! I think we Americans are way too obsessed with "germ-free" everything and "bacteria-killing" products. How the heck are we supposed to develop healthy immune systems?
I betcha that if I dare go visit Guatemala (where I came from) I will get a severe case of the runs if I dare drink the water or eat something right there on the street... neither of those was an issue nine years ago, when I lived there!
On the other hand... I would not change living in this God-blessed country for anything in the world!
Anyone want to borrow one of my four canines? Guilt free pet ownership is a good thing. ;) Never tried the idea on our kids...we didn't have any.
By the way.. my kids grew up with dogs around them since they were born (I had an Irish Setter who would "hide" in my oldest's son crib -kid in crib, too- whenever there was a blackout or loud noise). Those kids never get sick... a cold here and there and that's it. They are now all healthy adults.
Do liberals approve of dogs?
The worst was the "tea" she made in one of her little tea-set cups: cat food steeped in water. "It's coffee!" she explained.
I once joked that "gray" aliens are actually human time travelers who shriveled up into physical atrophy because humans devolved from playing video games, eating junk food, having sex using full-body condoms, and using antibacterial hand soap. They've come back from the future to tell us to get the kids to play outside, get dirty, and play football. Go ahead and play with the dog, it'll build up their resistance!
Only if they are neutered.
( The dogs are neutered that is. Liberals well it goes without saying are neutered by definition. )
I wonder if they looked at a similar protective effect from cats? The last article I saw on something similar said the researchers had found a protective effect against asthma from both dogs and cats in the home before the kids reached age 1. On an anecdotal basis, I believe it .... The home I grew up in was pretty grubby (my mom had better things to do than clean :), and we had cats inside, but only one dog outside. As an adult, I am not allergic to cats, though I am to dogs, and I have never had asthma. My husband grew up in a spotless home with no pets, and both he and one sister have asthma and allergies to cats -- even though neither of their parents had allergies to anything.
Keep a happy, grubby home with lots of critters in it. Works for me!
Gee, I sound awfully mean -- I'm really not - I will stop and feed animals that are hungry and people have dumped out -- I just don't bring them home anymore.
And then you have the incredible rise in allergic reaction to airborne pollen, etcetera, that seems to track pretty well with the advent of widespread air conditioning in residential construction. Throw those windows open if the temps are comfortable, it's good for you, plus the crickets are natural white noise to help you sleep, lol.
Don't ask me how I know this.
It's your choice whether to have pets in the house or not, obviously. But your post is unclear -- do you not have them in the house simply because they make a mess, or is it because you are allergic to them and/or have an asthmatic response to them?
Although there may be a little coughing now and then. hoc tuey
AAAWWWWW! What adorable two-legged and four-legged creatures!
They seem to get along beautifully!
:) They do! The boys are doing fairly well with the "gently, gently" training, and our rottie girl is in absolute heaven with these man-pups around (even when "gently, gently" breaks down a bit). If one of them cries, she bounds across the room and sniffs to make sure they're okay (and both she and my border mix have to give the boys a thorough once-over everytime we return home after going somewhere). They've been exposed to enough doggie saliva to keep a whole classroom from developing wheezes.
I've had them in the house in the past -- but now, for various reasons unrelated to allergies or anything like that, having them in the house just grosses me out. I don't even like to go in someone's home who keeps animals inside. I know, I'm weird. I just don't like the thought of animal hair floating around inside, landing on the bed, landing in food, etc.
I'm not a neat freak, I'm not particularly organized or anything like that - it just doesn't seem very sanitary to me. I really do have a good reason for this ... ick factor, I guess you'd call it -- I have relatives who go to the other extreme, and I think that's what has done it to me. Birds or fish inside don't bother me, but cats/dogs inside ...

SOFIA: Stars and the Space Between
By sending an infrared telescope to altitudes of 12,000 meters (40,000 feet) and higher, NASA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) conduct astronomical research that would be impossible using telescopes based on Earth. The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy—SOFIA—is the only airborne telescope in the world. Infrared imaging of stars and planets is difficult from ground-based observatories, because water vapor in Earth's lower atmosphere blocks most infrared radiation. SOFIA operates from a modified Boeing 747, soaring high above occluding vapor to capture infrared emissions from distant galaxies. Using instruments that include a high-speed imager and a sensitive far-infrared spectrometer, SOFIA will provide insights into distant star formation, the chemical composition of deep space, and the atmospheres of planets within our own solar system.
