Ubuntu Assurance
Customer is entitled to participate in the Ubuntu Assurance Programme in place from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions thereof.
Liability Limitations
Subject to Clauses 10.2 and 10.3, and except in the case of a breach of the confidentiality provisions herein, each party's aggregate liability to the other or any third party for all claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or out of the production, sale, supply or use of Ubuntu or Services thereunder, whether based upon contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, shall not exceed the actual amount of Fees paid or payable by Customer to Canonical during the preceding 12 months. Customer acknowledges that the Services do not include any hosting, cloud infrastructure, back-up, or similar services. Canonical shall have no liability for any downtime, infrastructure issues or loss of data with respect to the Customer Instances or Ubuntu.
Subject to clause 10.3, and except in the case of a breach of the confidentiality provisions herein, in no event shall either Party be liable to the other or any third Party for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential loss or damage or for any loss of or damage to data, ex gratia payments, loss of profit, loss of contract or loss of other economic advantage (in each case whether direct or indirect) howsoever arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any collateral contract, or the production, sale, supply or use (by Canonical, the Customer or any third party) of Ubuntu or Services provided under this Agreement, even if that party has previously been advised of the possibility of the same and whether foreseeable or not. These limitations shall apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy. For the avoidance of doubt this Clause 10.2 shall not apply in relation to the Customer?s obligation to pay the Fees.
The Parties understand and agree that the limitations of liability set forth in this Clause 10 are a reasonable allocation of risk between the Parties, and, absent such allocation, Canonical would not have entered into this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or limit the liability of either Party for death or personal injury; any misrepresentation fraudulent or otherwise; or any other liability which it is not permitted to exclude or limit as a matter of applicable law.
Term and Termination
This Agreement shall come into force on the date Customer accepts its terms and conditions by placing an Order for the Services through the Amazon Marketplace and shall continue for the Term, unless earlier terminated as provided in Clause 11.2 or 11.3.
Customer may terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time.
This Agreement may be terminated immediately by notice in writing if the other Party:
commits a material breach of this Agreement (including without limitation late payment) and, if such breach is capable of remedy, fails to remedy the breach within 14 days of receiving notice thereof;
enters into liquidation whether compulsorily or voluntarily (otherwise than for the purposes of a solvent amalgamation or reconstruction); becomes insolvent; ceases or threatens to cease to carry on business; or any similar event.
Customer shall not be entitled to any refund of Fees paid prior to termination.
Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, all licences granted to Customer under this Agreement shall terminate forthwith and Canonical will have no obligation to provide any Services.
Clauses 1, 3.2, 3.3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of this Agreement shall survive termination.
If there is a disagreement in relation to this Agreement, the Parties shall use their reasonable endeavours to negotiate and settle the disagreement. If it is not possible to settle the disagreement within 14 days, representatives of both parties shall meet to try to resolve the matter. If the matter is not resolved within a further 14 days, the matter may be referred by either Party to a meeting between the senior managers of the Parties. Subject to Clause 12.2, neither Party shall refer any dispute to the courts unless and until the dispute resolution procedures of this Clause 12 have been followed.
Nothing in this Clause 12 shall prevent either Party applying to the courts of any country for injunctive or other interim relief.
Neither Party shall be liable for any breach of this Agreement directly or indirectly caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of that Party and which prevent that Party from performing its obligations to the other, provided that a lack of funds shall not be regarded as a circumstance beyond that Party's reasonable control.
Neither Party may assign, transfer, charge, create a trust over or otherwise deal in its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (or purport to do so) without the other Party's prior written consent except to an Affiliate pursuant to a bona fide re-structure, merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or a sale of the business to which the Services relate.
Unless the right of enforcement is expressly granted, it is not intended that any provision of this Agreement shall be enforceable by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, as amended from time to time, by any person who is not a Party to this Agreement. Any member of the Canonical Group may enforce this Agreement against the Customer.
No amendment or modification of this Agreement will be valid or binding upon the Parties unless made in writing and signed by the duly authorized representatives of both parties. In addition, a failure or delay by a Party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall not be construed or operate as a waiver of that right or remedy nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude the further exercise of that right or remedy by that Party.
This Agreement represents the entire terms agreed between the Parties in relation to its subject matter and supersedes all previous contracts or arrangements (including any usage or custom and any terms arising through any course of dealing) of any kind between the Parties relating to its subject matter. No terms or conditions included in or delivered with or contained in any Customer acceptance of Services, proposal, purchase order or similar document will form part of any Agreement or otherwise bind Canonical, even if Canonical signs that acceptance, proposal, order or similar document and does not expressly reject those terms or conditions.
Each of the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as independent of every other such provision, so that if any provision of this Agreement shall be determined by any court of competent authority to be illegal, invalid and/or unenforceable this shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
Nothing in this Agreement and no action taken by the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture of any kind between the Parties or as constituting either Party as the agent of the other Party. No Party shall have the authority to bind the other Party or to contract in the name of or create a liability against the other Party.
Any notice required to be given or sent under this Agreement shall be in writing and either delivered personally or sent by first class registered post (or equivalent) to the registered office for the time being of the recipient.
Canonical may provide copies of this Agreement in different languages for information purposes. In the event of any conflict between the versions of this Agreement in different languages, the English language version of this Agreement shall prevail and shall be used in any court proceedings.
Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and the Parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England, except when a Party seeks immediate injunctive relief (for example, in connection with a breach or impending breach of confidentiality obligations) that would not be reasonably effective unless obtained in the jurisdiction of the conduct at issue. The provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.

Journal Journal: More hilarity from the defenders of the republic 1
Let's see if they can keep it up for the next two years, and what it gets them.
Funny shit out there. Thanks for the laughs
Hillary will be telling the next six presidents what to do. Isn't that what you really want?
Ain't she the looker? I always wondered, do they wear those things more than once, outside the house?
Those little blue islands of corrupt urban elites are shrinking fast.
I hope you realize now what appeasement and compromise and your 'lesser evil' game will invariably buy you. The seed was planted with the passage of the half baked Obamacare. Yet the message of 2010, which was clear as day, went right over your head. So now, we can erase the last eight years as a mere mistake, and I can probably kiss my social security goodbye also. Oh well...
The damn democrats did this to themselves, and I see no recovery from it. They are toothless have nothing to offer, and one reason for that is because they are corrupt pansies and don't stand up and fight. Who can possibly believe them? The Daley Machine does not work on the national scale.
Let the third party scapegoating begin!
Sanders (independent my ass!), in full sheepdog mode, cranks it up to 11.
"It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS"
"Man, who would have expected the ride we're all having right now?
"I've never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It's a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on... Keep going"
He knows how to entertain.
He understands ratings...
She may be smarter, better prepared... It won't matter. She is terrible entertainment...
He is Kim Kardashian*. She is Judy Woodruff.
Who gets better ratings?
Who would you rather watch for the next four years?
I wonder, is this just another scare piece?
Announces that he is endorsing Clinton for president.
Does this hurt or help?
It was a sad day for all.
Even god got pissed off and rained the game out
"I just showed up for the final..." [act].
His complaint against the GOP is about ratings, not the content. Gee, what else is new there? The circus was a flop My goodness, even Bieber turned down five mil...
And yet, I have these morons constantly badgering me about not taking his campaign seriously, and that failure to endorse one is actually endorsing the other.
You people are nuts. The race should be between Johnson and Clinton. (I've written off Stein as one those going overboard on disarmament and "compromise", more like appeasement. She's not ready to deal with the sociopathy). Trump shouldn't even be in the picture. It is sad to see him get a single vote amongst the so-called "serious" people. The only logical deduction to draw from that is that they aren't serious. The man's continued presence is the evidence. When you wash away all the bullshit, all that is left is the shtick.
The internet really is TV. It is making people stupid. Or maybe the Russian/Chinese trolls really have taken over.
So let's let the Neilsen Company count the votes. It's as good as anything.
Speaking of which, the Slashdot Poll looks pretty accurate so far. The newspapers could use it as a guide.
From this day forth, you'll put your faith, in me...
Knock yourselves out
It is this year's presidential election. The fanatics on both sides are positively spinning out of control.
And I am discovering my apparently unique ability to bring out their inner child that maybe, until now, they never realized was there. Wow! But there it is! Shouting, screaming, kicking...
Just did a quick check. Doesn't really look good for Don. But maybe congress and state legislators can keep things under control. Let's hope they can hold off a convention for at least eight more years, or you can kiss the Bill of Rights adios
Shit! I didn't know ol' boy left. That's not cool.
Line Printer paper is strongest at the perforations.

The First Computer – ENIAC 1940's
Announced on February 14, 1946, ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the result of work funded by the United States Army Ballistics Research.

The dispute over the proposed gas pipeline among the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, the County of Pike and the National Park Service may soon be resolved.
The difficulties arose when the company, which was seeking to widen the 300 Line Project right-of-way from 50 feet to 125 feet in order to lay a second 30-inch pipe next to its existing 24-inch pipe, was turned down by the National Park Service, which manages the Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area (DWGNRA). The line would run from Bradford County, where gas production is intensifying, through Wayne and Pike counties to New Jersey.
The proposed extension, called the Northeast Upgrade Project (NEUP), would provide 636,000 dekatherms per day of increased capacity to the interconnect in New Jersey, serving the growing markets in the Northeast, including New York City, according to company representatives.
Following objections raised by DWGNRA, the company altered its plan and proposed to create a six-mile loop around Milford Borough, thus avoiding the park.
"We have a problem with that since it will cause extensive ground movement and erosion problems in the area," said Rich Caridi, chairman of the Pike County Commissioners. "There will have to be many stream and wetland crossings, which will add to the disturbance. We want to preserve our landowners from that kind of thing."
There is also a fear that, if it is blocked, the company will begin an eminent domain procedure, which can have local adverse repercussions.
Caridi said that the company already entered the property of a local resident and cut down over 100 of his trees without the owner's knowledge or permission. "This kind of thing is causing a lot of bad relations," he said.
Trying to resolve the matter, Caridi called a meeting of principal stakeholders, along with a representative of Congressman Tom Marino's office.
The result is that Congress will be asked to alter the provision that prohibits the pipeline cutting through the park.
"That got the agreement of all parties," Caridi said. "So we'll have to wait for Congress to answer."
The existence of the pipeline dispute came up at the meeting of the commissioners on April 13 where the commissioners voted to hire a new district engineer for the county's conservation district at a salary of $65,000.
"This may seem like an unusually high salary, but we couldn't get one response to an ad stating that the salary was $60,000," Caridi said. "Since the county has so many earth-related projects that cut through the county—like the proposed PPL line, and other right-of-way requests—it is imperative that we have someone in the engineer position who is competent and efficient."

Ireland's largest hotel, the Double Tree by Hilton (formerly the Burlington) has more experience of dealing with very big numbers efficiently and enjoyably than any other in the country.
Renowned for its banquets, the huge numbers are not only catered for but can have a minimum choice of three main courses on all menus.
This Dublin hotels recently refurbished bedrooms bring fresh appeal and, despite its monster size, it has a well-earned reputation for being well run and offering good value.
It offers good facilities for business guests - a high proportion of bedrooms are designated executive, with a working area and air conditioning, and a pleasant 15 minute walk to the city centre makes it an option for leisure guests who prefer a quiet location too.
Food, including breakfast, is better than might be expected of such a large hotel, and it is well served with transport to the airport.

Gun legislations offers little in common sense
West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin reportedly has some reservations about gun-related legislation sent to him for his signature. He should be concerned. In some ways, the bill flies in the face of common sense.
Mountain State residents, in general, probably have more regard for Second Amendment safeguards than people in the vast majority of other states. For that reason, we are sensitive to campaigns at the national level to restrict ownership of firearms.
But we West Virginians also are very protective of children. It is on that point that the law in question is deeply flawed.
Early in the Legislature's annual regular session, opponents of unnecessarily strict municipal firearms rules decided to insert safeguards into a bill regarding home rule for towns and cities. At first, their additions sought to ban municipalities from restricting firearms in local government buildings. That provision later was stricken to allow municipalities to continue rules against guns in places such as city buildings.
But another very questionable provision stayed in the bill as it was approved by both houses of the Legislature and forwarded to the governor.
It provides that cities cannot prohibit people with concealed carry permits from taking firearms into local government recreation centers, even those in which education facilities such as after-school programs are located. The only requirement is that those carrying guns must keep them out of view and away from access by others.
Think for a moment about what that means: The bill, by allowing municipalities to ban guns inside buildings where government business is done, safeguards adults inside those facilities. It offers no similar protection to children in recreation centers.
That makes no sense at all.
Surely legislators could have found a way to stand up for the Second Amendment without, in effect, making it the law of the land that bureaucrats in city buildings are entitled to gun-free environments – but children at play are not.

As a wholesaler you want to see your business run efficiently, right? Here are tips that will help you do it:
Grow your volumes
As you know, the wholesale business is all about volumes. To increase your profits you have to increase the number of products that you buy from the manufacturers. The rule of the game has been: the more you buy, the lower the buying prices thus the higher the profits you make.
Undertake co-op purchasing
To be in the wholesale business you need to have a large capital. You need the money to stock up inventory so that you are able to meet the demands on your customers.
If you are dealing with many products you need even more money. When you are buying from manufacturers, the manufacturers require you to buy a minimum number of units. If you need many products you have to deal with many minimums which are costly.
If you don't have a large budget to take care of all the minimums, you should consider joining hands with other wholesalers and co-op purchase the products. This way you will have a larger financial power thus be able to buy plenty of products.
To be safe, work with reputable wholesalers.
Grow your customers
Customers are the lifeblood of your business; therefore, you should have plenty of them for you to continue being in business. One of the ways of getting them is visiting the stores that sell the products that you are selling.
With the digital era, things are now easier as all you need to do is send emails to the retailers and if interested in your products, they reach back. To encourage them to buy from you, you should give incentives.
Another way of getting customers is increasing your exposure. Almost everyone is using the online space; therefore, you should take advantage of it. One of the ways of doing it is having a professional and well optimized website.
You should also list your business in wholesale business directories. There are people who list their business in general business directories, but this isn't right. For professionalism and to make it easy for people to find you, list your business in a wholesale directory.
Another way of increasing your exposure is participating in trade shows. You should get a stand and display your products.
Watch your credit
As a wholesaler you function as a middleman between the manufacturers and retailers. This means that you work with two different people with different working techniques.
Many wholesalers find themselves in problems when customers don't pay them on time and yet the manufacturers need the money. To avoid being in such a scenario avoid giving extended credit terms to the customers.

Expert Q & A Answers About infidelity and ED
We've been married 33 years and sex is no longer satisfying. Why?
I have been married for 33 years. For the past several years, I have had problems keeping an erection with my wife. For a long time, she's made up excuses not to join me in sex. I've slept on the couch, been depressed and been on medication. I cheated and told her about it. Now we're trying to work it out and we're seeing a therapist, but I can't seem to get excited by her. I love her and feel depressed over the whole thing. What's the problem?

Woodstock School District 200 offers a one-semester Basic Nursing Assistant (BNA) class to high school juniors and seniors. This program offers a strong foundation for any medical field for high-achieving students and lifelong employment for students not planning to pursue education after high school.
Connie Happ, district certified school nurse and BNA instructor, said by passing a state exam, students can gain employment as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) and continue their education if desired.
"What is neat for me is to see students acquire skills as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Not everyone is going right into college; some can't financially, some are not ready for it, but now they have a skill and can obtain a job," Happ said.
Amanda Harmer, District 200's career facilitator, said the Basic Nursing Assistant class provides an academic response to the job demand in health care. Students receive nine college credits from McHenry County College through a dual credit partnership. The program is in its fourth semester, and 44 students have completed the class. The class meets five days a week from 7 to 8:15 a.m. at Woodstock High School. Students attend 56 clinical hours at Valley Hi Nursing Home.

The Woodstock Chamber of Commerce's 68th annual dinner Feb. 21 included an assertion that "the Chamber has come a long way," and the first priority was to establish financial stability as reported by President Todd Kinker in summary of the year's activities.
Kinker said the board cut costs and renegotiated vendor contracts. A big step forward was to strengthen board leadership and name Shari Gray executive director.
"We have strengthened our board of directors by adding people with different skills to obtain representation from Woodstock's variety of retail, manufacturing, service and not-for-profits sectors," Kinker said.
Congratulations to Steve Finzel, recipient of the 2013 Harold Buschkopf Community Service Award. Finzel is president of the board of directors at Family Alliance. He has served on the McHenry County Building Commission as treasurer. Finzel has helped raise funds for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life events and is involved in Christmas Clearing House and Pickle Palooza. He served as a member of the Jaycees earlier in his career.
He was instrumental in forming a group called Human Services Advocates. Finzel serves as chair, and he leads its advocacy efforts to keep the economic plight of human service entities serving our area at the forefront of the minds of our local state legislators.
As spokesman for Human Services Advocates, Finzel has appeared to state legislators and the McHenry County Board and has participated in or helped to arrange communications with Springfield on behalf of all human service agencies in the county.

Jenkins avoids backing Ricci by name
Barclays chief executive Antony Jenkins downplayed the long-term contribution of investment banking to group revenues at a presentation on the bank's strategy to the press and analysts – and repeatedly refused to back investment bank chief Rich Ricci by name.
In a question and answer session, following his presentation on the bank's strategic review at the Royal Horticultural Halls in London, Jenkins deflected a question on whether he had confidence in Rich Ricci, who is the most senior banker remaining from the Bob Diamond era. Jenkins instead chose to say that he had confidence in the whole executive team.
When asked a second time to endorse Ricci as a member of the "old guard" at the bank, Jenkins again answered with reference to senior management as a whole, refusing to comment on any single individual within it.
But he left room for the possibility of change: "I can't predict the future. Who knows that will be happening in a few years' time?"
The refusal to back Ricci by name comes as Jenkins looks to reposition the bank. While he stressed that the investment bank, which generated the majority of the group's adjusted pre-tax profits in 2012, "will remain a very large and important part of the group", he said that he expects its relative importance to group profits to reduce.
"What we think will happen is that gradually over time the proportion of profit generated by the investment bank will decline because I expect it to grow less rapidly than other parts of the business," he said.
Despite the continuing challenging environment for the industry as a whole, he said that morale at the investment bank was high because it is "up there with the very best. People want to be winning".
He said: "We aim to be one of a small number of investment banks gaining market share and improving margins over the next three years."
He said that regulators recognised the value of the universal banking model and that he did not foresee pressure for the Barclays group to be split up.
He endorsed the idea of "electrification" of the ring-fence, characterising it simply as a reserve power in the event that banks try to subvert the Independent Commission on Banking's requirement that retail and investment banking be ring-fenced.
In doing so he joined other senior bankers, including HSBC chairman Douglas Flint and Lloyds chief executive Antonio Horta-Osorio, in distancing himself from the British Bankers' Association's opposition to the policy.
Meanwhile, Jenkins came out fighting on Libor as he disclosed that while he was aware of a number of class action suits being put together in the US, he believes they are "without merit" and unlikely to succeed.
When asked if Barclays was making provisions for further costs related to Libor, he said that doing so was an accounting requirement that becomes necessary when there is certainty about a specific item – something that he said remains a distant prospect.

My daughter is just over four weeks old. She has been nursing great. But recently (the past day or so) she seems to be getting very aggitated and frustrated while nursing. She will latch on very easily and then a few minutes after she begins nursing, she will get red in the face and start grunting and squeeling. If I take her off the breast, I will be able to calm her down a bit and she will latch back on a few minutes later. But, the cycle will continue throughout the nursing period. I feel that I am getting frustrated while she is nursing. But, more importantly, I am concerned that she is not getting enough to eat.
As an aside, after she was born, I cut out all gassy veggies from the get go. So, I really don't think it is anything that I am eating.
Here's the thing: I think that it may be one of three things:
1. When she has to make a poo, it takes a while for it to come out. I think that she builds up to making a poo and that her tummy feels full or uncomfortable. So, nursing isn't comforting to her and maybe makes her feel more uncomfortable.
2. Maybe my milk is coming out too fast for her (or maybe too slow at times) and when it isn't the right speed she is feeling uncomfortable.
3. Maybe when she is really overtired or overstimulated she finds it more difficult or frustrating to nurse.
Do any of these things make sense? If not, what else can it be? If the above does make sense, is there anything I can to help her/us?
But, I just don't know what it is. I love nursing her and want to make sure that she is satisfied and feels good.
Oh - she has pee diapers throughout the day. And she makes a poo a day (but it is generally explosive and huge. It is mustard and seedy looking.)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Close Call for Cervelli…
I really should have learned by now: every time my brother yells "Hey Virginia, come here!" to me to go see what he's doing on the computer, it's usually something I don't want to see. Today was no different…
I really want to enjoy this day off from school. My brothers are both home, we are putting up the Christmas Tree later, it's supposed to be a really great day. Now all I can think of is Cervelli…
My brother wanted to show me an article he found on the MLB Trade Rumors site:
Yankees, Five Others Interested In Russell Martin
The Yankees, who tried to trade for Russell Martin this week, are one of six teams interested in the 27-year-old free agent, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Michael S. Schmidt of the New York Times reports that the Yankees nearly sent Francisco Cervelli to the Dodgers for Martin (Twitter links). In fact, the Yankees and Dodgers even exchanged medical records on Wednesday.
The Dodgers are nearing a deal with Rod Barajas, but they still have interest in re-signing Martin. Agent Matt Colleran says the Dodgers view his client differently than most teams do.
"They want to continue discussions with the idea that Russ could come back and catch, play second base and third and a little bit out of outfield to see if he likes something like that in the event he ever wants to transition from behind the plate," Colleran said.
It wouldn't be surprising to see the Royals, Rangers, Mariners, Mets or Brewers look to upgrade behind the plate. ESPN.com's Buster Olney reports that Martin, who is from Montreal, wants to play on the East Coast (Twitter link).
You can imagine what this did to me. I'm still in shock…the Yankees wanted to TRADE my Francisco Cervelli? What the heck has gotten into them this year? They're having trouble signing Jeter, Cliff Lee is still not in pinstripes, and now this? WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO DO TO ME????
They were so close to trading him…
But for now, my baby is safe. I just heard that the Dodgers have non-tendered Russell Martin, which means he's out there on the free agent market for all teams so see…which means that the Yankees don't need to trade for him if they want him.
But just the fact that they wanted to trade Cervelli worries me: just because he's not being traded for Russell Martin doesn't mean they won't trade him.
And trading Francisco Cervelli would destroy me inside.
GOD I HATE THE OFFSEASON! It's way, waaaay too stressful…
7 Comments
Don't stress yet! Even if the Yankees did add Russell Martin to the mix, they'd let him and Cervelli (and Montero) compete for the job along with Jorge.
The last thing you need at this time of year to stress over things outside of your control….
I still think the Jeter deal is just a mask to keep the press off the Lee dealings…
I personally don't understand the Cervelli/Martin, because I would see that as an upgrade so much as a sideways move.
Glad you enjoyed Thanksgiving…
Phillies Outside
I don't know what Martin would add to the table, let alone having to give up someone to get him. In what I saw last season Cervelli was fine behind the plate.
lol Virginia, I actually find this time of year exciting and entertaining, but maybe that's because I'm not affiliated to any particular team.
I think Peter makes a good point when he says that there's a lot of smoke being blown around to mask the Lee deal, which will surely happen in the very near future.
Sometimes your favorites end up going… I've been burned before. We all have. It's part of the game… but I understand how upsetting it can be. Not quite there yet, Virginia! Keep ya head up!
I like the hot stove. Even if favorites are in the rumor mill. Is like a all these different puzzles being put together.
that ws really a tough tough injury Russell suffered. I do feel for him. You have nothing to worry about him.
That is the thing about the Winter Hot Stove, one moment a player is cozy by the home team fire and the next he is thrusted out into the cold driving towards a new team.
Still do not think Russell Martin is an upgrade over Cervelli.
At the price and with the upside Cervelli brings to the Yankees, it is a bit wild that they would even consider shipping him out.
Heck, it is not like he performed like Dioner Navarro before the pinstripes sent him to the Dodgers.
Hopefully you can remain calm, cool and collected until Cervelli needs to report to Tampa on February 13, 2011.

Sheriff's detectives are investigating a home invasion at a Spokane Valley apartment complex, where three armed men forced their way into a unit at 6th Avenue and Eastern Road and stole a laptop computer possibly in an attempt to cover up a previous theft.
The bizarre circumstances of this home invasion robbery show you just how illogical some burglary suspects can be. After the theft of a valuable ring was supposedly caught on camera the thieves came back a second time to allegedly steal the surveillance video of the first theft.
"It's very possible that this is a situation where this heinous crime was committed to conceal possibly another crime," Spokane County Sheriff's Department Deputy Craig Chamberlin said.
The victim, who's also the son of a federal judge, told deputies he answered a knock at his door and was rushed by three young men he didn't recognize.
"This man was struck over the head several times with what he thought was a handgun and then apparently there was a coat used to try and strangle this man," Chamberlin said.
Fortunately, the victim's girlfriend scared off the thieves by calling 911; one of the suspects even jumped from the third story balcony, dropping the laptop supposedly containing the incriminating surveillance video.
"What was on that computer and why they were so interested in that computer is going to play a big role in this investigation," Chamberlin said.
The robbers were so anxious to escape with their take that they left behind their getaway car which was later traced to the Regal Arms apartments. According to a search warrant, inside one of the units detectives found a baseball bat and brass knuckles.
"Point blank, they were there to kill this man. They tried several different methods to try and take this man's life," Chamberlin said.
Detectives are now looking for the suspects who were only facing a simple theft charge when the ring was originally stolen. Now the suspects are facing robbery, burglary and assault charges.

Farm Bill
Loading Tree...
Proposals must be postmarked or submitted to NRCS May 27, 2010. See the notice for details.
The Cooperative Conservation Partnership Initiative (CCPI) is a voluntary conservation initiative that enables the use of certain conservation programs along with resource of eligible partners to provide financial and technical assistance to owners and operators of agricultural and nonindustrial private forest lands. Eligible producers who participate in a project area identified in an approved partner agreement and have submitted an application for any of the following available programs, may be approved for assistance:
Under CCPI, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) enters into partnership agreements with eligible entities that want to enhance conservation outcomes on agricultural and nonindustrial private forest lands. The Secretary of Agriculture has delegated the authority for CCPI to the NRCS Chief.
Secretary Vilsack Announces Availability of Funds To Improve Nation's Natural Resources
As allowed by the 2008 Farm Bill (2008 Act), NRCS may make Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP), and Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) program resources available to owners and operators of agricultural and nonindustrial private forest lands who are located in an approved CCPI project area. As authorized by Congress, this is not a grant program to partners. This is a program whereby partners with approved projects will enter into multi-year agreements with NRCS to help enhance conservation outcomes on agricultural lands and private nonindustrial private forest lands. One purpose of CCPI is to leverage resources of certain Federal government programs along with services and resources of non-Federal partners to implement natural resource conservation practices. Proposals submitted by eligible partners are evaluated and competitively ranked for consideration of NRCS program to support the project. The RFP published to the Federal Register outlines the process and requirements partners must use to submit proposals and CCPI requirements. The RFP also provides details regarding which programs are offered and funding availability each fiscal year.
Specific program information may be found at each of the programs websites: Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP) Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)
Federally recognized Indian Tribes, State and local units of government, producer associations, farmer cooperatives, institutions of higher education, and nongovernmental organizations (NGO) with a history of working cooperatively with producers. Refer to the RFP for more details regarding partner eligibility. Individual producers are not eligible to submit a partnership proposal.
Owners and operators of agricultural and nonindustrial private forest lands are eligible to apply for program benefits offered through CCPI. In order for a producer to be considered for financial assistance through a CCPI partner agreement, the land associated with a program application must be located within an approved CCPI project area. Only producers who are eligible for EQIP, WHIP or CSP may receive financial assistance through these programs. When announced and available refer to Fact Sheets and visit the NRCS program website in the state where located for information how and when to apply to the EQIP, WHIP and CSP programs. For more detail regarding eligibility and application requirements contact your local NRCS field office.
For CCPI, the 2008 Act requires that 6 percent of the funds for EQIP and WHIP and 6 percent of the allowed acres for the CSP programs be reserved for support of producer contracts approved under this authority. Information and conditions for the Cooperative Conservation Partnership Initiative (CCPI) and potential funding available can be found in notice of request for proposals (RFP) published in the Federal Register and posted to this web site. If funds are available, NRCS will make Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP) and Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) benefits available to owners and operators of agricultural and nonindustrial private forest lands who participate in approved CCPI project areas. Please note that the amount of financial assistance provided to support prior year approved projects and new proposals approved through the current year RFP will change each fiscal year depending upon appropriations and agency priorities. Each fiscal year, NRCS will announce the amount of CCPI financial assistance available.
Eligible partners may submit proposals per the requirements of the RFP. Through a competitive process, the proposal will be evaluated and ranked with all other current fiscal year proposals. After evaluation, if the partner proposal is selected for funding, NRCS will develop a partnership agreement which will outline the general requirements of NRCS and the partner. Information about the competitive evaluation process is contained in the published RFP

Remember our social workers
March is National Professional Social Work Month.
Social workers help people overcome poverty, inequality, insecurity, fear, violence, trauma, loss and pain. They are the key element of society's safety net.
This year's theme is, "Weaving Threads of Resilience and Advocacy: The Power of Social Work."
Life would be so much harder for so many without the dedication of the many people who dedicate their professional life to helping others.
There are more than 650,000 professional social workers across the country who come to work everyday bringing hope to those whom they try to help.
Social work continues to be one of the fastest growing professions in the country due to an increased need for health and aging related services, as well as child and family support, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Social workers impact the daily lives of so many – from helping the elderly, the poor, those in hospitals, children, mentally ill, alcoholics, drug addicts and those with physical and mental disabilities. They not only help the afflicted. They help the families.
Social workers work in communities across the country trying to improve the lives of those who need it most.
It is sad that social workers rarely get a thank-you. Many people expect and demand the services of social workers.
Social work is a low-paying profession. But people decide to enter that work field because of a deep-rooted desire to help others. They don't become social workers for the reward of money. They become social workers for the reward of helping others.
The National Association of Social Workers said social workers fundamentally believe that a nation's strength depends on the ability of the majority of its citizens to lead productive and healthy lives. Social workers help people navigate major life challenges to find hope and new options for achieving their full potential.
Social workers probably receive more training than any other profession. Many hold master's degrees. These workers are constantly updated on the latest research and training in their fields.
Many young people today are burdened with the pressure to choose a profession to study. Social work is a good choice because their work will always be in demand.
The need for the professional services of social workers is ever increasing right here in the Upper Ohio Valley.
Take the time to thank a social worker for dedicating their life to providing hope for so many.
They do it for the reward of giving a helping hand to those in need.

Greetings and Happy Father's Day!
On behalf of the Administration for Children and Families and my office, the Office of Family Assistance, congratulations to all you dads on being an engaged, responsible and concerned father. I know you wouldn't be visiting this blog if you didn't care about your role as a father, dad and friend to your children.
Father's Day is a special day for me because it gives me a chance to reflect back on my past and think of my future with my four-year-old son. Unfortunately, I lost my father just after my wedding, 18 years ago. As a result he never had the opportunity to meet his grandchild, Owen, and vice versa. Yet, in the years before his death he took me on a life journey that set the stage for me — however late in life — to follow in his footsteps and be an engaged and committed father and husband. My dad's efforts to be a good father were based on his love, devotion and goal for me to be a civil and respectful person. All of his work set the stage for me to have a vision of what it means to be a good father, dad and husband.
As you all know, parenting comes with its challenges. We plod along in this role, trying not to lose focus or sight of our purpose because we know deep down inside of us it is the right thing to do. It can be difficult. The beauty of fatherhood can come quickly and/or instantaneously. For example, when after a long day in the trenches, a screaming, wide eyed, gapped toothed smiling, whirling dervish of a child scampers around the corner as you open the door, and jumps in your arms yelling "Daddy!" Then, just as quickly and enthusiastically, jumps out of your arms and races back to watch, for the 100th time, the final scene of Star Wars, at that moment you know that the force is with them. Because, for that moment all seems right.
So on this Father's Day I hope that you all have the opportunity to feel and direct the force of your child or children in a positive way. It is a special privilege to be a father and I hope you all have the ability to revel in the moment when you look into their eyes as you open their cards wishing you Happy Father's Day, because it is at that moment when you know the force is with you.
Earl Johnson is director of the Office of Family Assistance. Prior to joining the Administration for Children and Families, Johnson was senior Policy Advisor to Oakland, California Mayor Ron Dellums, where he was responsible for helping set policy and program goals for the city in the areas of workforce, health and urban affairs. He also worked with the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships on fatherhood initiatives.

Swize was placed on paid administrative leave recently pending an internal investigation of the complaint by the Karnes County Sheriff's Office.
Casey Cullen, an attorney with Cullen, Carsner, Seerden and Cullen, L.L.P, a Victoria law firm, said the Karnes County Sheriff's Office is continuing its investigation of allegations of misconduct brought forward in a formal written complaint by a law firm representing Premier Vacuum Service and Barbara Shaw.
A copy of the written complaint which was submitted by Attorney Brian David Smith with the law firm McKamie, Krueger and Knight, L.L.P. On behalf of Premier Vacuum Service and Barbara Shaw, was obtained Monday by The Karnes Countywide through an open records request sent to the sheriff's office.
The complaint states that the law firm of McKamie, Krueger and Knight, was asked to evaluate the conduct of the chief deputy while he was present at an accident scene which happened in the Falls City area on June 3 and involved a truck belonging to Premier Vacuum Service.
"After obtaining a copy of the dash cam video and audio recording from the Texas Department of Public Safety police cruiser on the scene, there is strong evidence that Chief Deputy Russell Swize was caught on tape attempting to lobby State Trooper Steve Bailey to falsify his accident report to show that the vehicle owned and operated by Premiere Vacuum Services was the party at fault," the complaint written by Attorney Brian David Smith said.
"Further cause for concern is that Chief Deputy Sherif Russell Swize's own words indicate that his sole reason for suggesting fault be assigned to the party who the trooper's investigation determined was not at fault was done because he knew the vacuum truck belonged to Karnes County Judge Barbara Najvar Shaw," the complaint continued.
"After reviewing our observations from the dash cam videotape with our clients, they were relieved that State Trooper Steve Bailey ignored Chief Deputy Russell Swize's attempts to shift liability to the vehicle owned and operated by Premier Vacuum Services. They however are very concerned that there still may be a small fraction in local law enforcement who may be targeting the Judge and Premier Vacuum Service for purely political reasons," the complaint said.
"On behalf of our clients, I respectfully request that you turn this matter over to the appropriate authorities so that a proper investigation can be conducted into the conduct of Karnes County Chief Deputy Russell Swize. I also ask that pending the outcome of what we hope will be a thorough investigation, Chief Deputy Russell Swize be directed to have no contact with Barbara Najvar Shaw in either her individual or official capacity," the complaint said.
The Karnes Countywide reached out to Russell Swize for comment.
"At the advice of my attorney I respectfully decline comment at this time," Swize said.
The Karnes Countywide also reached out to Sheriff Dwayne Villanueva and State Trooper Steve Bailey for comment, but messages left were not immediately returned.

Come celebrate on the patio
MORRISTOWN – Next month, Chapz Bar & Grill is celebrating its fifth anniversary.
That's five years of unique, one-of-a-kind service, atmosphere and good times.
To christen the celebration, owners and management at Chapz have added on to the facility at 42478 National Rd., just past the Jamboree in the Hills site on National Rd. near Morristown.
Stepping out the back door from the main bar, customers will find a newly finished covered patio, complete with a u-shaped bar, plenty of tables for seating and a fire place.
"Our new patio is equipped with an outdoor bar and it's perfect to book for class reunions, graduation parties and rehearsal dinners for weddings," Hines said.
The bar is stocked with multiple taps for those cold drafts and, as expected, the coolers are stocked full of the large assortment of imported and domestic beers that is a hallmark of Chapz.
The outdoor patio experience just adds to the one-of-a-kind feel customers have upon entering chaps.
Chapz food menu is extensive and unique, with a number of mouth-watering options for its tasty burgers to Hungarian peppers, a full kids menu to the one-of-a-kind tuna melt, famous the Valley over. There are wings spun in homemade sauces, fall off the bone ribs and specialty burgers like the Fat Boy, Pizza Burnout, Original Burnout and Big Bore.
Along with an ample selection of beers, Chapz offers specialty cocktails made by your favorite Chapz girl. And you'll be hard pressed to find another bar and grill locally where they friendly staff is also sporting leather chaps … hence the name of the establishment.
Friday and Saturday nights, Chapz brings in a disc jockey to spin your favorite hits starting at 10 p.m.
Chapz also emphasis the grill part of its name along with the bar. Not only does it have a wide selection of tasty food items, it's also a family-friendly environment for dining.
The staff at Chapz invites you to come out, have a burger, sit down and enjoy a frosty cold beverage, try out the new patio and join in the anniversary celebration.
For more information, visit Chapz Bar & Grill on its Facebook page.

ALDS Game 2 and part of 3
I didn't get to see Game 2, but it must have been great. I saw it get to 5-5, it must have been crazy. Dice-K did decently as always… always putting two on and then miraculously getting out of it. Masterson did well, pretty cool how he's a ROOKIE in the post season… hasn't even been up the entire year. He's kind of like the new set up man if you think about it. Papelbon pitched GREAT. And then in the top of the ninth with Youkilis on, JD Drew SLAMS ONE and the score is 7-5 and Papelbon closes it out! Hopefully he'll have a pretty good break now since he (and Masterson) have pitched in the first two games.
