On Ron Paul, the Presidency, and America's Working-Class
St. Paul in his letter to the Colossians writes: "Masters, do to your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that you too have a master in heaven." (Col. 4:1). Against employers who exploit their workers, the apostle St. James says: "Go to now, you rich men, weep and howl in your miseries, which shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted: and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered: and the rust of them shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up to yourselves wrath against the last days. Behold the hire of the laborers, who have reaped down your fields, which by fraud has been kept back by you, cry: and cry of them has entered into the ears of the Lord." (James: 5:1-4).

ROT13 is considered to be unsafe. Nowadays it's best to go for ROT26...
If you want to have some fun: let them do their talk, show some interest, ask them to "hang on for a moment".
You can come back once and a while, and say something like "almost done", or "wait..."
The sport is to try to keep them connected as long as possible. The trick is to have them wait in multiple stints. I've been able to extend it to half an hour before they hung up on me.
After somebody pointed out the problems with rot13 encryption, the Dutch settled for double rot13 (rot26) encryption.
As far as In know, SABRE still runs on System/360 today.
It was created in the 50's, migrated to System/360 in the 70's, and is still the central system where all bookings of all airplanes are registered, and where travel agents from everywhere in the world can check for availability, make reservations, etc.
The main interface is a console. I've seen several attempts to create GUI's but they can't fully replace the efficient text-based interface that exists to enter commands and see results.
If you ever fly on a plane, your booking went through that system, no matter where on this planet you live, or where you went.
There's an impressive number of transactions going on in that system, with lots of clients and lots of data in there.
What could possibly go wrong?
Does anyone actually use it?
Quicksort was an example of something simple, that wouldn't be very efficient to implement using a non-text language.
Anyway, kids nowadays with their fancy languages and 800MB frameworks. They have a ".sort()" routine built in and immediately think that anyone writing those 10 lines to suit their specific situation is doing something deeply wrong.
Just try to write a quicksort routine using any non-text-based programming language.
Or try to describe a 10 line shell script using UML.
You'll find out that text-based code is actually quite efficient.
'heroin" is called "heroine" in Dutch, but I actually do recommend using both.
I've heard that heroine is also very good at masking problems.
Both written in Pascal, with some Assembler. It's still quite readable for software from that time.
Organs sound too 60's for my taste.
When we write programs that "learn", it turns out we do and they don't.

Unique and Comfy
I first saw this top in the store. I was immediately drawn to the style. It's so unique and different from any other pajamas I have ever seen. Very simple but stylish cut. The fabric feels great and washes great. I would like to see it in more colors though.

Having previously ordered the smart sleeve 3/4 sleeve shirt I was optimistic about this purchase. Big disappointment. It looks like a school cafeteria uniform top from 30 years ago. So frumpy - nothing like the photo. Both the fabric and cut are not at all flattering. Also, the trim is pink, not white as it appeared on my screen. Try something else.

BAE Graduate Program
Program Impact
What global impact can a graduate degree in Biological and Agricultural Engineering at Kansas State University make on mankind? The world's population is projected to exceed 9 billion people by 2050. Future generations face unique biological and ecological challenges. The BAE department is actively engaged in research to address challenges faced by the next generation. Examples include food availability, preservation of natural resources, water quality and quantity issues, climate change and others.
Collaboratively with other engineers and scientists the BAE faculty are committed to fulfilling the department motto of 'We Bring Solutions to Life'.
Main research focus areas of BAE
- Environmental including water, climate and air
- Bio processing including bio-based fuels and valued added products
- Controls and sensors including product innovation and information utilization
What are some examples of on-going research in BAE?
- BAE research engineers are addressing food and fiber production practices to minimize the depletion of the Ogallala water aquifer and explore sustainable alternatives. Faculty is researching biological based alternatives to protect the quality of the surface waters utilized as drinking waters for urban communities. Biological systems are being explored as an alternative for minimizing industrial waste being released into the environment.
- Bio processing research is focusing on alternative biological based energy and product innovation. Bio processing innovation utilizes the by-products from the biological based energy production to create new products. One major research area is utilizing the proteins remaining from the grain sorghum ethanol process for production innovation.
- Research is expanding in controls and sensors for biological systems in nontraditional areas such as the military. Sensors are being evaluated to provide real time information on the impact on water quality of streams located in the vicinity of military training exercises. Other projects are focusing on minimizing soil erosion from critical traffic routes of military equipment.
What post graduate degrees are available in BAE?
The BAE Department at Kansas State University offers courses of study leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) in Biological and Agricultural Engineering, and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Engineering. Ph.D. and M.S. students may specialize in:
- Environmental engineering,
- Bioprocessing engineering,
- Information and electrical technology,
- Machinery systems,
- Natural resource engineering, or
- Structure and environment.

They may appear to be very different worlds, but a stint in the military could be the best way to learn the skills needed to run a successful business. At least, that is the claim of four ex-Army entrepreneurs.
"As a young officer in the Army, I had to deal with drunk, angry, heavily-armed Bosnians who did not want peace forced upon them," says Malcolm Stewart, founder of Kensington Audio Visual (KAV). "That was the best education an entrepreneur could get.
"If you can calm a warlord and stop him from shooting people, you can deal with the toughest clients."
Mr Stewart served in the Army between 1994 and 1998 in the Dragoon Guards.
"It's a great finishing school," he says. "These days when I'm going into a big pitch and I'm nervous, I just think 'at least this isn't life-threatening. The worst case scenario is I don't get the job.'
"It's a really good way to put things into perspective."
Mr Stewart founded his high-end technology installation firm two years after leaving the Guards. "It was the Millennium and people were installing wi-fi and Sky Plus so it was the perfect time to get into the industry," he explains. "The Army had given me lots of self-confidence and the discipline to go after what I wanted."
A decade later, Mr Stewart's Fulham-based company fulfils million-pound contracts for developments such as One Hyde Park. "We work on very serious properties for very wealthy individuals," he explains.
Single-minded determination is a trait shared by many ex-military people turned entrepreneurs.
"I wanted to live in Dorset and raise my children in the countryside," explains Richard Miller, founder of Halstock Cabinet Makers (HCM).
"I picked up the Yellow Pages and rang around to find a local company that needed some money and would benefit from new leadership. I was agnostic on the sector. That wasn't my key objective."
Mr Miller took over the business in 2004 and has since increased turnover from £900,000 to £6m, more than doubling staff numbers to 50 people.
HCM is focused on the luxury end of the market. Average order values start at £250,000 to £1m and the company uses materials such as onyx, mother-of-pearl and even stingray skin.
Mr Miller runs the firm like a military command. The team has its own language – "gaps" refer to risks and "threat harvests" mean that everybody in the creative and commercial teams has had a chance to check a project for problems.
"We save time with these words and phrases so everybody knows exactly what they are doing," he says.
And, just like a military campaign might involve the Army, Navy and RAF, Mr Miller seeks out similar alliances in business.
"If the client wants a new wine cellar, the architect won't necessarily know that much about the storage and treatment of wine," he explains. "We will make the cabinets and will bring wine company Berry Bros & Rudd on board to consult on the project.
"In the military, you seek out the greatest expertise, the best local knowledge, and you always defer to those who know more than you. This is the view I take in business."
However, having implicit trust in the people you work with can be dangerous, warns Brian Taylor, founder of PixelPin, a start-up that substitutes numbers for images in pin codes. "I have fallen foul of trusting other people in business the same way I would a soldier," he says.
"In the military, your life can depend on somebody else, so trust is bred into you. But it can be an Achilles' Heel as an entrepreneur because not everyone has your best interests at heart."
Nevertheless, Mr Taylor, who joined the Army at 16 and spent a decade as a technician for the Royal Signals, does not regret his time in the military. "I can't imagine where I would be now if I hadn't gone into the Army," he says.
It's a sentiment shared by Marcus Barnett, founder of an eponymous landscape and garden design firm. "I would not be where I am now had I not been a soldier," he says. "The Army instilled in me a desire to succeed, the skill for identifying and articulating my mission, and how to react quickly when my plans go awry."
However, Mr Barnett admits that the life of an entrepreneur doesn't suit all former Army servicemen. "Most of my peers left one uniform and put on another," he says. "It was a pinstriped suit. They went in to the City to be lost in a floor of 200 people, becoming anonymous and doing little of note.
"But I wanted to be able to see the fruits of my labours," he continues. "To start with nothing and end with something. And horticulture has always been a passion. Not that I would have [told] my Army mates about that in the old days. They would have laughed."
Mr Barnett has turned a passion into a profitable business. Today, the company does not take on projects below £300,000 and the business is set to grow 30pc this year.
A key component of his success has been the ability to spot great talent, he says. "The Army makes you a great judge of character and helps you to lead all kinds of people, regardless of their background."
"You come across all types of soldier in your course of duty. There are the really motivated guys who want to be lifelong soldiers, and then there are those who got into the Army by accident, stumbling into the recruiting office from a building site. You have to lead and motivate both of these types of soldier."
Mr Miller believes that people skills are even more important when dealing with creative types. "They often don't like conflict so you shouldn't ask them to negotiate for you," he says.
"This might sound counter-intuitive in the military, but the Army really does encourage you to think for yourself and take the initiative. And if people know they are going to be asked something, they come with their brains engaged.
"If they know they'll be told, they will have a closed mind. You don't have to have a military background to know that this is the best way to treat your people. Communication is always critical."

Employer premiums for medical care plans in State and local government
April 03, 2008
Employer premiums in state and local government averaged $394.48 per month for single coverage medical plans, and $783.59 per month for family coverage in September 2007.
Employer characteristics played a role in the amount of employer premiums. For single coverage medical plans, employer premiums for workers in junior colleges, colleges, and universities were $365.71 on average per month, compared with $410.66 in elementary and secondary schools. Premiums for hospital workers averaged $363.22 per month.
For family coverage medical plans, employer premiums were nearly the same--about $747--for workers in junior colleges, colleges, and universities and for workers in elementary and secondary schools. Employer premiums for family coverage medical plans for workers in hospitals were $797.07.
These data are from the BLS National Compensation Survey. To learn more, see "National Compensation Survey: Employee Benefits in State and Local Governments in the United States, September 2007," (PDF) Summary 08-02, March 2008.

My name is Jimelle Levon, I am a 17 year old fashion designer based in Columbus, Ohio. I've been designing for four years now. I started off painting shoes and distressing jean shorts, then expanded from there. I have never taken any classes or been taught how to sew. I am a self taught artist. I believe that my only limit is myself, which is why I created my brand Koldkut and decided to give this website another try a year later. I have helped many local inspiring T-Shirt brands start up which is an honor. I feel as if since God blessed me with the talent I have at such a young age I should use it to help others.

Barbara, how nice to have such companions in your garden. They are to be treasured.
Intrigued by the name "talavera lizard" I looked it up and found lovely pieces of Mexican art with the vivid colors, and charmed by the shapes.
"Gaze at a Talavera pottery urn, vase or platter, the finest ceramics of Mexico, and behold the art of a Spanish colonial period rich with old world design and a colorful heritage.
The rich Talavera pottery heritage was introduced to Mexico by Spanish guild artisans of the Colonial period. Commonly called "majolica" in Spain, Mexican Talavera draws its name from the 16th century Spanish pottery center, Talavera de la Reina. While the intricate polychrome and more typical blue and white designs show their Old World legacy, native floral and animal motifs claim these colorful ceramics as classically Mexican."
Joan, I too had spider mites on my milk weed, but after heavy rain on Sunday and Monday them seemed to have disappeared. I have a family of chameleons (Anolis carolinensis) living on my patio and they are pretty handy at pest control of a wide variety of small insects such as crickets, cockroaches, moths, grubs, beetles, flies and grasshoppers. I found it fascinating to watch him capture a moth and consume it. Yum! They do not chew their food but swallow it whole. This little guy was completely enamored with the talavera lizard I put on my trellis and spent the afternoon sleeping with it. :)
"Controls aphids, mealybugs, immature scales and whiteflies, thrips, spider mites and other plant pests. Lacewings are the best all-purpose predator for your garden or greenhouse."
It has been several years since I used chemical pest controls. I bring in ladybugs and lacewings and they do a tremendous job of keeping my garden free of pests. I don't know if they will eat spider mites, but they seem to have reduced my red spider mites that attack my Albert Spruce.
My problem in the garden is fungus. I use GardensAlive and have good results. I use these products very sparingly and only when I see signs of problems.
I have a worm farm and they work day and night producing worm casting which I spread throughout the garden. My soil is very healthy. What plants I lose are from these crazy winters of warm and freeze all winter long.
Also, the squirrels make a mess of my arborvitae; they strip whole branches to build their wonderful nests. This photo, taken just last week, reveals their mischief. It is my own fault because I feed them peanuts and watch them play and fight and romance and enjoy them. Just wish they would leave my arborvitae alone. Can't fight mother nature.
I'm not sure what a spider mite looks like, but it doesn't sound good! You've had a lot of rain down your way, King. Me, enough.
so i found spider mites on my pepper plants that i am going to plant as soon as the soil drys out a bit

Is There a Quick Way to Recover from Breast Augmentation?
Doctor Answers 16
Easy recuperation following surgery
The best things you can do are to be in good health and well rested going into your surgery and to follow your board certified doctors instruction's both before and after surgery. This may involve stopping some kinds of medications or dietary supplements so make sure your doctor knows what you are taking. Good luck with your surgery.
Speeding Up Breast Augmentation Recovery
1. Refined surgical techniques: your surgeon should reduce unnecessary trauma and bleeding by avoiding blunt dissection and performing any incisions "blind".
2. Avoid or at least minimize the use of strong pain medications. .
3. Minimizing time spent under anesthesia, decreasing recovery issues (nausea and/or vomiting) associated with their use.
4. Restrict arm movements for the first three days.
5. Walk leisurely around to prevent blood clot formation.
6. Do not return to vigorous physical activities until your surgeon gives you the green light.
If you follow the instructions provided to you by your surgeon, you should be able to recover more smoothly from your surgery. Good luck!

Fast Recovery after Breast Augmentation
There are ways to increase your comfort level and recovery after breast augmentation. No one can make any guarantees, but these steps should help you
Before surgery
- ensure you're in good health
- educate yourself as much as possible. The more you know ahead of time about breast augmentation, the less anxiety you should feel about your procedure
- don't take things that will slow down healing. As an example, any blood thinners like aspirin will make the surgery more difficult for me in the operating room and may result in more bruising and swelling after surgery
After surgery
- follow the instructions of your plastic surgeon
- reduce swelling and pain with elevation of your chest, ice, etc.
- consider taking homeopathic meds, like arnica, echinacea, etc.
- consider using a pain pump, which your plastic surgeon needs to put in during your procedure. This is an awesome device that pumps slow drip numbing medicine around the area of surgery, reducing your pain
- take as few narcotic pain pills as possible, to reduce nausea and constipation
- hydrate well after surgery
- eat a little extra protein after surgery
- consider taking multivitamins after surgery.
It is possible to optimize things in your life, mind, and body, to get a faster recovery. Best of luck to you!

Supplements for Surgery
Bottom Line: Certain vitamins and minerals can speed healing others can cause problems and slow the process down or cause complications. If healing is going well I usually let my patients go back to their usual regimen of supplements
Check with your doctor as only your doctor would have access to your medical history and what would be best for you. We typically allow our patients to continue their supplements 10 days post op if their recovery is going well.
Web reference: http://drnichter.com/breast-augmentation/
Breast augmentation : fast healing
- 1.pain is variable
- 2.it takes 2-3 months for implants to settle and muscles to relax
- 3.celebrex, motrin, and muscle relaxers can help
- 4.massage and stretching may help
- 5.everyone heals differently
- 6.4-7 days off from work is common
- my patients start activity the day of surgery
Web reference: http://www.horowitzmd.com/plastic-surgery-procedures-newport-beach/breast-augmentation/
Breast Augmentation
The quickest recovery is no surgery. How you heal is out of our hands and in the hands of mother nature and you. Some recover faster than others and there is not always a clear path of understanding of this. Smaller implants traditionally heal a little faster as there is less surgical area and less muscle tension, but the difference is minor. Have the surgery when you have the time to recover and then you can get the size you want.
Web reference: http://www.elitemdspa.info/
Fast Breast Augmentation Recovery
The best way to recover quickly after Breast Augmentation is to choose a surgeon who adheres to the principles of careful preplanning and meticulous dissection of the pocket. With this, you should be back to normal activities within 6 to 48 hours, depending on the placement of the implant.
Aug Recovery
There is no such thing as a easy recovery from a surgery. Everyone recovers differently. Techniques can effect how you recover . Over the muscle (if you are a candidate) usually has allot less discomfort then under the muscle placement. Keeping dissection of the pocket to a minimum I believe helps post op pain. Patients mind set to get up and get moving helps the recovery process. Giving your self appropriate recovery time to avoid complications will also expedite your recovery. Good Luck.
Fast recovery after breast augmenatation
Recovery from any procedure is variable and depends on tecnhnique, type of surgery and patient's own healing. In breast augmenattion the bigger the size the more likely that there will be temporary presure pain. This can be further increased if the implants are placed beneath the muscle. An important element, though, is a thorough preop discussion of the operation and postop course with your surgeon. This will help eliminate some anxiety. We instruct our patients to wear a surgical bra for 2 weeks after which we ask them to remove the bra and begin a series of breast massages for the next several months. We also ask them not to do any exrecises which stresses the pectoral muscles for the first 6 weeks.
Quick recovery possible but no guarantees
Unfortunately, no one can guarantee a quick recovery without complications. Stay clear of anyone who does.
However, there are certain techniques that make having a fast smooth recovery more likely than not. These techniques are based on using an atraumatic bloodless approach to making the implant pocket and placing appropriately sized implants to reduce postoperative discomfort. Patients usually need less narcotics and return to normal activities much sooner than with other methods. This technique was developed by a Dallas plastic surgeon, Dr John Tebbetts and has been successfully implemented by several surgeons around the country.

Soon after police, who were investigating a possible hostage-taking, made the decision to enter a residence on Alameda Schoo Road. What they found shocked them.
It was a typical immigrant smuggling stash house situation: boarded up windows, doors that locked from the inside, men in their underclothes and without shoes. What was atypical, said Cannon, was the amount of people smooshed inside the location. There were 115 people inside the house, all allegedly held against there will by at least five men who, according to court papers, threatened men and women with guns, a taser and a wooden paddle.
The people trapped inside the home told police that they had paid to cross into the U.S. but were being held until families paid transportation fees. This week, those five men accused of holding those folks, stood before a district judge on charges of extortion and smuggling.

This all started when the Houston Police department got a call March 19, from a woman who said her daughter and two grandchildren were being held in Houston for $13,000. According to court papers, the woman who had received the phone call demanding money, had earlier paid a coyote $15,000 to transport the woman and kids to Chicago. With that information authorities traced the phone numbers and were led to a location on in the 14000 block of Alameda School Road, court papers say.
While cops were staking out the place they saw four people leave the home and drive off in the Mustang. Cops pulled the car over and found two guns in the car, along with those papers. Authorities moved in on the house and saw three men run off, they were identified in court papers as the stash house guards, Jonathan Solorzano-Tavila, Antonio Barruquet-Hildiberta, and Eugenia Sesmas-Borja. The men were caught and taken into custody.
As cops went into the residence they saw several women, and men in their underwear. Police were able to find the woman and her kids.
All five men named in the alleged smuggling agreed to talk to police and told them they were undocumented Mexican citizens, court records show. Jose Manuel Aviles and Jose Cesmas-Borja were the two men driving the Mustang, according to ICE agents.
According to statements given to the authorities the home was operated like some twisted boarding house. Meals were cooked for the people and a wooden paddle was used to keep them in check. Sometimes folks were threatened with rape or with their lives if they didn't get it across to family members that they needed to pay that extra transportation fee in a timely manner.
The suspected hired muscle told authorities they were paid from $700 a week up to $3,500 every two weeks for the duties, which included going grocery shopping, cooking, dropping people off to relatives and being general dicks to people.
Those people included one woman from El Salvador who said she paid about $7,5000 in February to a coyote to be smuggled to New York, court papers said. According to the criminal complaint, she had to cough up an extra $5,000 to continue her journey once she reached Houston.
A man from Honduras who was found in the home told ICE agents he was headed to Atlanta for $3,4000. He said he still owed $2,000 for the trip, and according to authorities, he was told by one of the men that he had a dozen days to pay off his fee, or he would get dumped on the road in a garbage bag.
The five men arrested for allegedly running this operation appeared before Magistrate Judge Frances H. Stacy this week. On Thursday they were sent back to jail and are being held without bail.

Thus far, it's been a fun ride for the 1992 American League Rookie of the Year. The Jaxx closed out the first half of Southern League play with a 43-27 record, one game behind Northern Division champion Chattanooga. Since starting the second half, they are 12-11, again one game back of Chattanooga, and the Tennessee Smokies.
As a former infielder-outfielder, Listach hit .290 and played in 149 games for the Brewers his rookie season. Ten years later, he was managing in Triple-A after the Cubs fired lame-duck manager Don Baylor and promoted Bruce Kimm from Iowa as interim skipper.
"It's fun. I enjoy it," Listach says of managing a Double-A team.
So, who individually has impressed the Jaxx first-year manager the most?
For starters, there is third baseman and All-Star Game MVP Scott Moore. The 22-year-old first-round pick by the Tigers in 2002 finished Monday's event 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs and drove in four runs. He entered the break batting .278 and is currently second in the league with 14 home runs. That leads the Diamond Jaxx, as do his 21 doubles and 50 RBIs.
Early on, one cause for concern with Moore was his strikeout totals. The left-handed batter whiffed 60 times in the first two months of the season. He has cut those totals in half during the past month and a half, and Listach was quick to point out Moore's improved plate discipline in recent weeks.
"We've got stats from month to month and his strikeouts have continually gone down," the skipper bragged. "He's been putting the ball in play a lot more and his strikeouts have gradually gone down. He's starting to get more hits and his average is starting to creep back up. He does have a lot of strikeouts, but not lately."
The next area Listach touched on was his team's catching situation. Defensive stud Jose Reyes had been handling the bulk of the catching duties at West Tenn, but was promoted to Triple-A last month and is currently on the disabled list at Iowa. Reyes had thrown out 43 percent of base runners, which was among the top five catchers in the league.
Since then, Jake Fox has carried most of the weight after being promoted from Daytona what with Tony Richie struggling at the plate. Listach said he likes Fox's handling of the pitching staff for the most part.
"He drops some balls he should catch and he obviously needs to get some more consistency," Listach said of Fox, who turns 24 next week. "I've only talked to him once about his pitch selection and why I would choose to do something differently here or there. He's called a pretty good game for the most part, though."
What about Fox's bat? After leading the Florida State League in home runs and RBIs, the Michigan alum has hit .232 through his first 16 games in the Southern League.
"He's just trying to adapt to Double-A pitching," Listach said. "They're pitching to him right now. He's not getting the 3-1 fastballs anymore. They've thrown him changeups and breaking balls 2-0 and 3-1. He's swung through a few of them and they have him guessing right now. But he's always hit wherever he's been. We're not too concerned about him."
One hitter who has been a concern this year is Brandon Sing. The first baseman/outfielder was hitting only .177 in 33 games at Iowa before being sent back to Double-A for his third different stint in the Southern League.
Little did many know that the power-hitting Sing had been plagued by vision problems that were causing him to hack at pitches out of the strike zone as far back as Spring Training. Now, the 25-year-old is seeing the ball better thanks to the help of a new contact lens and various eye drops.
"His last week has been outstanding," Listach said. "He's hitting balls harder than I've ever seen him hit. I haven't been around him a lot, but he's done a really good job and is putting the ball in play more. He's an interesting guy. He's got a lot of power. I've put him out in right field, left and first base, just bouncing him around trying to find him as many at-bats as I can."
And that's about the only complaint Listach has about managing in a league that features only two clubs affiliated with American League teams: having to allocate some valuable players to the bench on certain nights.
"It's fun for myself and for my career to be in this league," he says. "The only thing that takes away from it is that I don't get to play a Richard Lewis or a Sing as much as I would like."
Next, there's the pitching staff. All throughout the year, the Jaxx have maintained the league's best. They have amassed a combined 2.77 ERA and have 11 shutout victories, one behind Jacksonville for the league lead.
It's been hard to pinpoint a Jaxx pitcher having an overly bad season.
"These guys have all come in and done a really good job," Listach said of his staff, which saw five starters named to the All-Star Game, two of which were promoted and unable to serve. "(Pitching Coach) Mike Anderson has done a really good job working with all of them."
Listach began by touching on All-Star left-hander J.R. Mathes. The southpaw recently threw a complete game, four-hit shutout on the road against Tennessee and has dropped only one of his last nine starts, going 3-1 with a 2.92 ERA since June began.
Mathes was drafted after four years in college at Western Michigan and received special consideration when he was allowed to bypass the Midwest League and go right to work in Advanced A with Daytona a year ago. He won a team-high 11 games in 2005 and is tied as the current wins leader in the Cubs' farm system.
"He throws three pitches for strikes, and any time you can command three pitches for strikes, you usually have success," Listach said of Mathes, who features a two- and four-seam fastball, curveball and changeup. "He's not an overpowering guy, but he's a command guy that keeps hitters off balance and turns his fastball over. He cuts it in a little on righties and has a pretty good curveball. He keeps himself in the game."
One starter that has been solid all year and has only gotten stronger throughout the season is left-hander Chris Shaver. He began the year at Daytona and did not allow a run or walk in 8 2/3 innings, all the while notching 10 strikeouts. Shaver has given up just seven earned runs in his last eight starts and his 5-5 record does not do his 2.27 ERA justice.
"He's been outstanding," Listach said of Shaver. "He's got a good fastball, 90 and up, mixes it in with a slider that he throws into righties. He gets a lot of groundballs. He's got really good endurance and can keep you in the game for seven or eight innings."
One pitcher who consistently draws more interest than many starters is right-hander Sean Gallagher. The 20-year-old exploded onto the scene last year at Peoria, when he won 14 games en route to being named the Cubs' Minor League Pitcher of the Year by the organization.
Gallagher began 2006 in Daytona and was 4-0 with a 2.30 ERA in 13 starts. That earned him the promotion to Double-A, where walks began to wash ashore. Gallagher allowed 10 free passes in his first two starts before settling down over his next three outings. The walks resurfaced on Thursday in the team's loss at Mobile, when he walked six in five innings.
Overall, Gallagher has won four of his six starts at Double-A and has a 2.60 ERA and .236 average against in spite of the periodic increase in walks.
"He's thrown strikes," Listach said point blank when asked of Gallagher's turnaround from his first two Double-A starts. "He's thrown his breaking ball for strikes. He was outstanding recently. He had 12 strikeouts and really overpowered them (Chattanooga).
"He hit his spots, located his fastball and threw his changeup more than I'd seen him throw in his last five starts. He mixed up all three of his pitches and really did a good job. I was really impressed with him."
Listach knows that his success as a manager only goes as far as his players and his coaching staff. "I haven't done anything yet," he says modestly.
He believes that being a former major league player such as himself, he can find some form of balance between playing major league baseball and telling his players how to get to the big leagues, and stay there.
"I think there's something to be said for that," said the Natchitoches, La., native, who played college ball at Arizona State. "I'm not saying every manager should have played in the big leagues because it's not particularly necessary. There are a lot of guys who didn't play there that are really good managers and do a good job here, and could do a good job up there.
"But, I think you gain an instant respect from playing there. Hopefully, these guys can learn from how I do things and how I run the ship. We're going to play the game the right way. We're going to be professional. We're going to hustle, and we're going to run every ball out."
Amen to that.

web video content
Working on a project which has a video explaining a new product. The video, as it stands now, is about 5 minutes and has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning is a (rather boring and technical) introduction: "Hi, I'm so-and-so, I invented this product and this is why." Then it gets into how to use the product. The video editor (who comes from a television background) feels strongly that we need the introduction first, for the flow/narrative. I feel strongly that the intro will lose viewers' interest and we should jump right into how to use the product, with only a title card as introduction, and use the intro later in the piece.
My thinking is that web video is not like a TV show: if you don't have your viewer's interest in the first 30 (??) seconds, they aren't going to watch. But I can't find any research to back up my position. Does anyone know of
any research or have any thoughts on this?
By the way, for budget reasons, we cannot do any reshooting or voice work, we can only edit what we have.
You can chop off the intro part i.e. "Hi, I'm so-and-so, I invented this product and this is why." and directly start introducing the product. In the you can show Name, Inventor-Product in text over Video.
I would recommend you to refer the way Apple publicizes its products. Macbook Unibody introduction is still in my mind !!
(Ref: http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/, click on )
Few TV shows start with the title and credits. They start with a touch
of action or a joke, and then do the opening titles.
But for some shows, that would disrupt the narrative or otherwise not
work with the style of the show.
The style you want to project should dictate the format.
-- Jim
I agree with you, if there is a narrator at the beginning of the clip,
viewers will leave. You could include the information about the
inventor and the technical back story in text on the web page. (It
should not be written in a boring and technical manner, otherwise few
people would read it.)

Unless the product is being introduced by a famous inventor, celebrity
or one of the characters from Family Guy, no one cares who that is or
why they invented it. If it isn't fairly obvious why it was invented
just by nature of demonstrating how it works, then the invention's in
trouble anyway.
If you think it's boring, then it is. Go with your gut.

Why can't you just divide the video into 3 sections, so users can
play the playlist in order, or skip past the introduction?

I agree with your thinking about Web video needing to capture
attention very quickly. I do think it's important for the narrator
to introduce him or herself and introduce what the video is going to
be about but it should be brief. 30 seconds can be an eternity,
especially in a 5 minute video. Is it possible to chunk the material
in such as way as to allow folks to "get on with it" by navigating
to a next "chapter" via a simple interface? Flash could
accommodate such a thing, and there could be other strategies as
well. This is great for repeat visitors who just need that super
quick refresher on that one feature but don't want to sit through
the whole vid, too.
I am a multimedia designer who has worked a lot with online video
(from every aspect of production and implementation), and while I
don't have concrete evidence or official stats to share, I can tell
you from simple focus group sessions that in general, the tolerance
for non-essential info is very low... I would say folks likely are
looking for how to click after less than twenty seconds of
introductory talk. It's probably closer to about ten. Is the intro
essential to the way the product works? It may be a nice bit of
trivia, but is it ESSENTIAL to making the product work? If not, then
let me move past it and get to what I need to know to do my job.
I'd be interested to see how others feel about this, too!

Playlist option will work. This gives viewer to decide on his time.

If the viewer is not hooked within the first 10 seconds (or less) the
chances of them staying to watch is much lower.
The introductions and why of the product may be better off as an
additional accompanying video depending on the content. But the
primary focus of a given video (in my opinion) should be getting to
what the customers care about as soon as possible.
So get to your value proposition as soon as you can, and with video
you want to make sure that it is a full video attention grabber. Not
just audio, not just visual. If a boring looking product demo is not
as exciting as the founder talking, the founder might do a better job
at conveying this value.
I think looking at this as a generic "this is always better then
that" way would be wrong. You should really look at how convincing
the content is and make your decision based on that.

Because it's web video, you have the luxury of explaining what someone is going to watch, before they actually watch it. Unlike television, which is a passive medium.
The Web is an active medium, where someone may have found your video through search, was sent a link by a friend or colleague, or the viewer saw messaging in the marketplace signaling why it is important to watch the video. Generally, we state context around the video, which is how the viewer got there in the first place.
Why have an intro at all, when you've already introduced relevance and context through the text and images that live on the page? It's just redundant and unnecessary to have an introduction, and somewhat egocentric in that the introduction contains an unnecessary focus on the person or brand sponsoring the presentation. A lower third could accomplish this just as nicely: "Joe Smith - Researcher, University of Washington."
Instead of this: "Hi, I'm Joe Smith, and I'm a researcher at the University of Washington. For the past nine-years, I have been working with 27 other researchers to build this product, X, that is the best product in the world to solve all kinds of problems that we never thought possible."
What about this: "Product X, when applied like this, can be used to take the rust of any bicycle (roll b-roll of application of product onto bicycle). Just get a cloth and pour 5 small drops of this product on the cloth and then rub on the spokes..."
You can imagine the difference. In the second example, we get right to the work, without the fluff, while still mentioning product name for branding purposes.
Editors should try their best not to be so tied to traditional storytelling methods with web video. If I turn on the Discovery Channel, say at 8 pm, to watch some show on some topic, I do expect a story. If I'm going to the Discovery Channel Web site, don't give me the show intro, tell me about the video by using text and a thumbnail image. When I click, I expect to get to get right to the topic, without the intro. If someone chooses to watch the entire video, then you can add a little about the presenter at the end, or have the presenters bio as a link placed alongside the video window, or above or below it.
This has always been the issue with television, which is now, hopefully being solved by iTV technology. But even with iTV (I used to work in iTV at Cablevision) producers still have these unnecessary intros. When I log into the Golf iTV application, for instance. I know where I am, so why give me an intro for each golf tip. I just want the tip, man. GIVE ME THE TIP MAN! LOL. It's frustrating to have to sit through an intro for each golf tip. Makes you not want to
The storytelling, starting with who what and why, is all explained in the text and images before you start the video. Why we keep these intros today is beyond me, but branding is still important. How important is a good question.
The same, I believe, will be applicable to mobile video as well, which is going to the the shortest of all video delivery channels. At least in the near term. The issue there would be less ability to offer context around a video, because you have less space.
I've been working in and around video for the new media for about 10-years now, and that's how I see things. As others have said, I haven't run across any specific research, but I would be willing to bet that there is some out there, especially with the cable companies. Hulu.com may have done some research as well. I would think they have studied some of this by now. If there's an iTV association Web site (I should be looking and offering suggestions, but it's Sunday morning and I'm being lazy), you may find some info there as well.
Notice I ended with my credentials, instead of being ego-centric and leading with them. I got right to the meat, without wasting anyone's time about who I am or what I do.
