PA Funding of Terrorists – This is How it's Done
JERUSALEM – Economy Minister Naftali Bennett announced Wednesday (Jun. 25) that he will work to stop Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas from continuing the policy of paying monthly salaries to convicted terrorists jailed in Israeli prisons.
"Did you murder Jews? Have you abducted children? Get up to 12,000 shekels a month from Abu Mazen!" wrote Bennett sarcastically on his Facebook page. "Meet Abu Mazen's 'preferred employment' track: murderers, terrorists and child abductors. We (Israel) have preferred status for gas station attendants; Abu Mazen gives it to those who pour fuel on the fires of death and destruction." A report presented to the Israeli Government on the subject reveals that this salary system is expensive and complex, funded in part by Western countries donating to the Palestinian Authority (PA).
The PA gives generous monthly salaries and large release grants to incarcerated terrorists. These convicted murderers, 78 of whom have already been released from prison by Israel, are receiving monthly salaries of up to nearly $3,500 and grants of up to $25,000.
In this way the PA is giving a strong financial incentive to terrorism, the report states. The report further states that publicly rewarding convicted murderers gives an official stamp of approval to terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians. It is a highly persuasive form of incitement to violence and terrorism, and encourages further terrorist outrages. These salaries paid out by the PA terrorists are actually enshrined in PA law. 'The Palestinian Prisoners' Law' stipulates that every Palestinian inmate in an Israeli prison who is convicted of a terrorism-related offense receives a monthly salary from the beginning of his imprisonment and a series of additional benefits offered to convicted terrorists upon their release.
These salaries are calculated as a function of the number of years spent in prison. This means in effect that the terrorists who carried out the most horrific attacks receive the highest salaries. The minimal wage paid to serving prisoners stands at NIS 1,400 (around $400) upon imprisonment. This base sum increases gradually, up to a maximum of 12,000 shekels (around $3,500), based on the length of imprisonment. In addition to that salary, the PA covers the living expenses of the prisoners' families. Every released security prisoner who was in prison in Israel for at least one year is given a onetime grant upon release ranging from the sum of $1,500 for those who served between 1-3 years and up to $25,000 for prisoners of 30 years and more. Those who were in Israeli prisons for criminal offences do not receive any grants. It should be noted that the sums being bestowed upon these terrorists are large, in particular in contrast to the average monthly salaries of Palestinian workers in the PA controlled areas, which stands at $641 according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics. Terrorists are further given administrative grades in the PA civil service or military rank, based on the number of years spent in jail. For example, those who served at least 25 years in prison are awarded the equivalent rank of Major-General in the security forces or of a Deputy Minister in the PA, both of which earn monthly wages of nearly $4,000. Terrorists who were incarcerated between 15-25 years receive over $2,800 every month. Released prisoners are also given priority over other candidates for official positions. In addition, prisoners who spent between 5-10 years in prison receive severance payments in case no vacancy is found for them. Among those who receive the maximum amount is the most veteran prisoner, Issa Abed Rabbo, who shot to death two young Hebrew University students hiking near Beit Lechem in 1984. In addition to the grant and salary, the PA also offered to cover the expenses of his wedding. Abu-Musa Atia, who used an ax to murder Isaac Rotenberg, a Holocaust survivor who had escaped from the Sobibor death camp, is also on the payroll. So is Yusef Hazaa who murdered two Israeli teachers, one of them a 19-year-old volunteer. Sualha Husseini and Almajed Mahmed who carried out a stabbing attack on a crowded bus, killing 24-year-old Baruch Heizler and wounding three young women receive monthly salaries from the PA for their heinous actions. This expensive pay system is funded in part by Western donor countries, including the United States.Aryeh Savir, Tazpit News Agency

If we want the world to stop funding the PA in Yehuda & Shomron & Hamas in Gaza then we must lead by example & cut all funding as well. Let the swamp go broke!
Money they get from EU UN USA
Very disturbing. The USA places strict conditions on the money that we send to prevent this. Nevertheless, we should cut back.
Funding terrorism is as funding satanic services!.Mark my words because truely to be honest let all those funding terrorism note that doing so is a sin and time of receiving their rewards is at hand,for G-d himself will reaward everyone of us according to what we did!
Those conditions are a joke & not taken very seriously by the arabs.
It is a terrible thing that Jews must be constantly defending themselves against these cockroaches. I just loathe them and the rest of the lying Arab world. May HaShem curse them!
It's all disgusting – but when can the Palestinians separate from these nasty pig terrorist groups,
Some of the members of Peace Now & other groups and politicians should be doubling their salary!!
Avraham- that would be great, but I don't think it'll happen. There are some REALLY stupid Americans who actually buy into the sob story lies that the "Palestinians" tell them and they don't know what these disgusting murderous pigs do. Some of these imbeciles are celebrities and they send money to these psychos to help them in their "cause". Smh. It's sad.
Mossad? Abass works for Mossad? That's a new one in me! Is Mossad in break – a little vacay right now? If not why haven't they found the kidnapped boys?
what is 12000 shekels 3 dollars
God will have the last word.
Wonderful 🙁
I surely don't like Hamas or PA, I want Israel to get THEIR LAND BACK FROM THEM!

Thanks for the Tax Credit, But Where Are the Customers?
ProPublica | 12/11/2009, 5:39 p.m.
In President Barack Obama€s stimulus speech on Tuesday, Dec 8, he said he€s trying to get Congress to pass legislation creating a tax credit for employers who hire new workers. But The Wall Street Journal reports that while business owners across the country appreciate the effort, they need more specifics, and more customers.
€Giving me a tax credit if I hire somebody? That€s not a really big incentive for me,€ one business owner tells the Journal. €We need customers in the door.€
The Congressional Oversight Panel, which was created last October to oversee the government€s bailout program, issued a report on the TARP program on Wednesday, finding that while problems remain, the program €can be credited with stopping an economic panic.€In an article in The New York Times, reporter Jackie Calmes writes about some of those remaining issues, including banks€ resistance to making loans, toxic mortgage-related assets still causing problems with big banks€ balance sheets, and the vulnerability of small banks.
Business groups are pushing education to the forefront, Politico reports. The Springboard Project of the Business Roundtable, which represents CEOs from the nation€s largest firms, released a report on Wednesday that includes a series of recommendations for changing the federal education system to reflect changes in the job market.
Among the recommendations: shift federal spending to reward schools for their graduate rates, rather than their enrollment rates; expand the role of community colleges and adapt curricula to fit the needs of the job market; and use technology to make it all more accessible.

Suoni Per Il Popolo, Montreal, Canada, June 5-22, 2013
Casa del Popolo/Sala Rossa
Montreal, Canada
June 5-22, 2013
The Casa del Popolo and Sala Rossa mini-empire that Mauro Pezzente and Kiva Stimac started on upper St-Laurent Boulevard in September, 1990 boasts a high-level eclectic program throughout the year, but the annual Suoni per Il Popolo festival concentrates special events and visits by "star" performers during the two-and-a-half weeks of the festival, the 2013 edition beginning on June 5 and running until June 22.
This year's edition had, as usual, a strong cohort of avant jazz performances, from the duo of Peter Brötzmann and Joe McPhee, three evenings of performances curated by Ken Vandermark, and a rare Montreal appearance by guitarist extraordinaire, Joe Morris.
My own Suoni experience this year began on Wednesday, June 12 with a performance of compositions by violinist Malcolm Goldstein, played by Montreal bassist/composer Nicolas Caloia's Ratchet Orchestra, a long-running workshop-type aggregation normally dedicated to playing Caloia's compositions. The highlight of the set was "Two Silences," a 12-minute piece that had each musician play a single, held note each, over and over before a short silence, repeating the first section (same note), a second short silence, and then the final section, with the musicians playing a different held note repeatedly until the end. Out of these minimal compositional elements emerged a suspenseful and compelling study in texture and timbre.
Following the Ratchet set, the action moved across the street to the back room of the Casa, where guitarist Bill Orcutt and drummer Cris Corsano cranked out a high-energy set of slashing, grinding guitar and all-over-the-kit drum explosionstotal rock and roll, totally compelling.
Bassist William Parker has probably appeared at the Casa and Sala more times than any other out-of-town musician, save perhaps Ken Vandermark, and he made his first appearance at this year's Suoni at the Sala Rossa on Thursday, June 13 in the company of drummer Hamid Drake, saxophonist Kidd Jordan, clarinetist Louis Sclavis, and pianist Francois Tusques, a group dubbing itself the French-American Peace Ensemble. The performance was preceded by Amine Kouider's short documentary on the late David S. Ware, David S. Ware: A World of Sound. The septugenarian Jordan was the star of the evening, a formidable force, playing with indomitable will and endless inventiveness, coming from a deep wellspring of the soul.
The first set ended with Jordan playing the last part of John Coltrane's A Love Supreme (Impulse!, 1965) after a long section in which the quintet moved through various motifs as the saxophonist played one long solo line. The first improvisation in the second set began with a Drake drum solo, deeply African-tinged, and then moved into a Thelonious Monk-ish ragtime-to- notime solo passage by Tusques, before Jordan stepped in with a string of beautiful ideas as the rest of the band churned furiously, playing with a power and endurance that belied his age. Not two minutes after this long solo, Jordan was in full gunslinger saxophone mode in the second piece of the set, using every part of the width of the groove laid down by Parker and Drake. Tusques was a revelation, with angular chord phrasings and stretching of rhythmic space. The piece ended with Drake playing off of Parker's bowed bass and then breaking up the rhythm before moving back into a tighter groove into which Jordan stepped with three and four-note bursts. A hard-swinging free section followed, as Sclavis joined in before Drake brought it all down and the saxophonist and clarinetist played a blues lament which, in the New Orleans funeral march tradition, became a celebration on the way home, ending on a long, blue note. This was deeply spiritual "creole" music, the quintet playing for David S. Ware, indeed as if for their very lives.
Longtime Casa/Sala friend Ken Vandermark came along with a number of his musical friends for a series of performances beginning on Sunday, June 17 at the Casa. The back room was packed as John Butcher kicked off the evening with a solo set, followed by the duo of drummer Paul Lytton and trumpeter Nate Wooley, followed by the duo of Butcher and guitarist Andy Moor of The Ex. As might be expected, the music was a textured and nuanced exploration of extended techniques, the aleatoric musical elements from the Casa lounge in the next room leaking through the wood wall of the concert space.

32 Iowa Conference titles
COLUMBUS, OHIO-The Central College men's golf team remained in 10th place at the prestigious 12-team Gordin Division III Classic after Tuesday's final round.
The No. 20-rated Dutch followed Monday's 611, 36-hole performance with 303 at the par-72 Columbus Country Club for 310-301-303--914.
Junior David Watson (San Diego, Calif., Patrick Henry HS) was the top Dutch finisher with 74-74-75--223, tying for 22nd. Junior Desmond Stoll (Lockport, N.Y.) shot 77-74-76--227 and Jon Prescott (Mendota, Ill.) shot 78-76-73--227, tying for 33rd. Senior Jacob Anderson (Treynor) carded 82-77-79--238, tying with junior Clayton Curwin (Faribault, Minn., Shattuck St. Mary's HS) for 56th, who carded 81-78-79--238.
"We have seen better days," coach Chad Green said. "You cannot keep high scores in any tournament, much less the Gordin Classic. We learned a lot from this tournament. We know what we need to work on and we will take the time to prepare. Now that we have seen top-level opponents, hopefully we are hungry to improve and start competing for trophies."
No. 9 ranked Wittenberg (Ohio) came from six strokes back after round two to win the title by 13 strokes with 295-287-281--863. No. 13 St. John Fisher (N.Y.), the day one leader, finished second with 285-291-300--876. John Chaney of Wittenberg won individual medalist honors by one stroke after carding a four-under par 68 in the final round for 73-71-68--212.
Central canceled its previously scheduled participation at the Illinois-Springfield Invitational Saturday and Sunday and will close out the fall season at the Edward Jones William Penn Invitational Oct. 11-12.

This was my first vacation with Abby Milligan, who was destined to become my wife.
We got the name for this trip from the Third Eye Blind song Crystal Baller. We had a tape of Third Eye hits and listened to it over and over, singing along the whole time…
"Can we try and take the high road
though we don't know where it ends
I want to be your Crystal Baller
I want to show you how it ends…"
• The Road to Moriarty, New Mexico, and Cuervo Ghost Town
We traveled well together. Abby was so excited that she was giggling.
Our travel was perfectly timed to shoot the sunset and last light at Cuervo, a town in disrepair that we dubbed a "ghost town," that I had photographed once before.
• Sandia Peak and Tent Rocks
After a missed exit and a very interesting drive west on Central Avenue, we took the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway to the top, then hiked through the trail system to the peak, where we had lunch. It was Abby's first veggie burger.
We hiked the shorter of the two loops at Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument, which was far more interesting and more expansive than I imagined it would be.
In Santa Fe, we discovered one of the best Chinese places we have even experienced, next door to our motel, called "Ten Ten." It was Abby's first time to have Egg Foo Yung.
• White Rock Overlooks, Bandelier National Monument, Soda Dam and Jemez State Monument
On our way Bandelier, we saw signs for the White Rock Overlook which affords views of the Rio Grande to the east.
At Bandelier National Monument, we hiked the short trail to Alcove House, a ceremonial cave with a kiva inside, situated on a cliff side that required ascending four wooden ladders.
Farther along highway 4 we found the Soda Dam, where water from underground hot springs flows, creating the buildup of mineral deposits that have formed a natural dam that blocks the Jemez River. It was easily the smelliest site I have ever visited.
Jemez State Monument was being restored, but we still made a few images.
We saw a mission church at San Ysidro and made a few pictures.
• Acoma Pueblo, La Ventana Natural Arch, and Petrified Forest
Acoma Sky City: our guide was named Orlando, and showed Abby the Acoma sign language sign for "never quit." Visitors to Acoma are charged per camera, and no video of any kind is permitted.
At La Ventana (Spanish for The Window) Natural Arch, we hiked up to and under the arch on the trail that was closed three years ago.
Petrified Forest and Painted Desert National Park. Wild wind; light was muted by smoke from distant forest fires.
• Monument Valley, The Mokee Dugway, and Natural Bridges
We made a long drive from Page, Arizona into Utah, through Monument Valley, still experiencing haze from smoke to our south, then drove up the Mokee Dugway, a steep, narrow gravel section of Utah 261 that ascends Cedar Mesa.
At Natural Bridges National Monument, we hiked down to Sipapu Bridge. It is a nice little hike, and we both had a great time.
Once we were done at Natural Bridges, we stopped at Goosenecks of the San Juan State Park. I remembered it from early scenes in the movie Koyaanisqatsi. Although there is no hiking available, it was worth our time to stop.
South of Kayenta at Tsegi Canyon, we drove into the light from a deep red sunset and made a u-turn to get back to it for its last few seconds.
• Vermilion Cliffs, Navajo Bridge, and the Grand Canyon
We drove south from Page, Arizona to the Vermilion Cliffs and Navajo Bridge over the Colorado.
As morning wore on, kind of at the spur of the moment, we made our way over to the Grand Canyon. Though crowded, being there together was great. Abby had never seen the Grand Canyon before.
Farther south we encountered the Kaibab National Forest. The Aspens were beautiful, and we found and photographed portions of the forest that had burned some years earlier.
Finally, bated by billboards, we stopped at the Giant Jackrabbit in Joseph City, Arizona.
Originally this trip was just intended to explore the area around Tent Rocks and Bandelier in New Mexico, but as we traveled and had so much fun together, we decided to see more and more. We had the times of our lives.

Gore Vidal FAQs
National Book Award
Print Interview
The question that could arise in the minds of some aspiring writers is, "How do you get started? How do you go about writing?"
Gore Vidal: I remember being present when a Jesuit priest in Rome asked Tennessee Williams, "How do you write a play?" and Tennessee said, "Well, I start with a sentence." Well, I start with a sentence, and that's how you write a book.
Have you ever suffered from writer's block?
Gore Vidal: No. I always tell people who say they are suffering from it, "Be grateful. You are lucky. You don't have to do it, because you're not a writer." Writers don't get this unless their brains go or they're very ill or something. I think circumstances can drive them to being dried up, but no real writer ever gets that way. There are just some of them that have been kind enough not to go on writing all the time. Those, I honor beyond belief!
No self-doubt, no fear of failure?
Writers, among others, are subject to criticism. How do you handle that criticism?
Gore Vidal: I became a critic. Attack me and I will have your head. You must defend yourself. By and large, it isn't worth it most of the time, when you think about who the critic is. If somebody I respected were to attack me, yes, I would be upset, somebody whose opinion I valued. But if you don't value the opinion of some unknown journalist, why should it bother you? It's like being bothered by the daily astrological signs.
You have never been shy about offering your own opinions and your own points of view, and often that leads to controversy. How do you handle controversy in your life and career?
Gore Vidal: Obviously I love it. I would not evoke it if I didn't. The unexamined life is not worth living said Socrates, allegedly. One's job as a writer is to examine the world around him. If that causes distress, so much the worse for those distressed.
Does a day go by when you are not writing? Is it something you have to do every day?
Gore Vidal: No, I don't have to do it. I have slowed down with age, and I don't think I can ever go back to those long novels that I wrote, all that history.
When you were writing those novels, or working in television or when you're writing essays or commentaries, when all of this stuff is coming out of you, did you have a routine? Is it important to stick to one?
Gore Vidal: It's best to start writing when you wake up in the morning, or afternoon, or whenever it is you wake up. Just start then, because you are closer to the dream state than at any other time in the day, which means the imagination is really working on all cylinders, and it means that whatever it is that manufactures sentences in your head is very fresh, and you have all kinds of slants on things that by the end of the day you won't have, or you will just lose along the way. Further advice I have not.
How would you describe the writer's life?
Gore Vidal: Mine has been very interesting.
I have lived in the world and taken part in many things outside myself. The problem with most American writers is they only write about themselves, and they're not very interesting. I don't care about why the marriage went wrong and why the author left his wife for the au pair girl when he did not get tenure at Ann Arbor, which really broke his heart. I mean these books should be written on Kleenex and disposed of. But everybody's been told in the United States that he is interesting. "You are a very interesting person. I can just tell!" or "My feelings are just as good as your feelings." Well, that is a fairly true statement, but what's a feeling? We all have feelings and most of them are not worth dealing with. It's what you know, it's what you think, and if you have the gift of invention, very rare may I say, it's what you make up.
[ Key to Success ] Vision
What is a novelist's role in society, relationship to society?
Gore Vidal: It changes. I would say it's almost nonexistent now.
People have stopped reading novels. TV and video games have taken the place where novels were once. When I was young, everybody read them. Now it seems hardly anybody does. Publishers are screaming, but they've contributed a great deal to the collapse of the novel as a popular art form. They publish too many bad books. They've overpublished all sorts of things, and then they're surprised when nobody wants their wares, but that's a business decision, which has nothing to do with a creative one.

PETA Asia-Pacific Providing Aid in Japan
This blog is a cross-post from PETA Asia-Pacific's blog, The Hot & Sour Scoop.
One of the first members of an international animal rights group to reach the disaster area, PETA Asia-Pacific senior campaigner Ashley Fruno has been in Japan with Isabella Gallaon-Aoki of Animal Friends Niigata since taking the first flight to Tokyo after the airport opened Saturday night. Ashley and Isabella are providing food, water, and care to animals abandoned when their guardians fled to evacuation centers, and are also providing food to animals whose guardians are having a hard time getting supplies of food because of long lines of hundreds of people waiting to get into stores. They've encountered many citizens who have stayed in their badly damaged homes for days because many evacuation centers are not allowing companion animals inside.
|A grateful recipient of the food Ashley and Isabella are distributing.
"The damage is absolutely horrific," Ashley says. "These dogs and cats need rescue for the sake of the anguished people who were forced to choose between seeking refuge in evacuation centers and taking their beloved animal companions with them."
Despite long waits at gas stations, Ashley and Isabella continue to visit the worst-affected areas in search of animals who need help, and their team remains in touch with the volunteer relief center, city office, and prefecture office, which plans to set up a temporary shelter for animals in the north of the city. Ashley is also talking to reporters and asking them to alert her if they spot animals in need.
You can help fund Ashley's work and other rescue work by donating to PETA's Animal Emergency Fund, which provides grants to organizations that do rescue work, including PETA Asia-Pacific.
Commenting is closed.
I thought that "companion animals" PETS, as you call them are a big no no in Peta world. I rember them being refered to as slaves by people of your ilk. I suppose the solution will be to round them up and put them down lke you do in U.S
I am in Osaka and I will be travelling to the affected areas tomorrow. You say its difficult to get supplies etc. I can bring lots. Problem is funds. I am only a tourist in Japan and just getting up there will cost a small fortune. I do have room in the car but any chance you can use some of the funds you are asking for to help buy just some of the food I can bring? Any contribution would be great. I can provide receipts etc for the food. Obviously COD. Also any advice you can provide re types of food would be much appreciated. I am doing what I can to help but unfortunately dont have a huge amount of backing.
ashley and isabella are representation of God's hand….thank you for all your kindness….
everyone who can donate please !!!!!!!!!!!!! they need are help – so glad someone is there for our fur friend also.
I just read on Yahoo that they were rescued. You can read the info here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/dog-in-japan-stays-by-the-side-of-its-ailing-friend-in-the-rubble
I'm also concerned for the two pups. I heard they were rescued but didn't really get details. Anyone know for sure?
I only wish I could have donated more money. Thank you for all you do.
I also saw that video and cant stop thinking about it I hope they got rescued. DOES ANYONE KNOW?
Janice, I have just read that they were both rescued and are now well.. hope that's true….
yes, best hold on to your dog or he will be taken and used for its fur
Can PETA help the animals shown in Japanese video that Janice commented about as well. I saw it on my yahoo mail? Does anyone know if the two dogs were rescued???
Hi Janice, I just read that the injured dog is treated in a clinic and the other dog is in a shelter. I am so happy that they get help.
Our deepest gratitude to all those who care for the animals in need! Our thoughts and are prays are with all the animals … May the angels protect them.
@Janice. I just watched that video and am still crying my eyes out! What pure and selfless creatures dags truly are! Fortunately, they were both brought somewhere safe and are receiving veterinary care! There is a link for a website attached to the video on Yahoo that gives information on how to adopt animals that were devastated by the disaster.
So thankful for people like you!! I can't even imagine the additional pain the people of Japan have to endure being separated by their pets. As they wait in emergency shelters I hope they're made aware that there are angels like you out there helping their beloved pets. Thank You!!!
hi i am in tears too watch videos of living beings suffering thank you so much peta and i will do what i can to help god bless all that care
Janice, check perezhilon.com he said that a facebook user posted that both pups were rescued and are in a local shelter – hopefully, their families come to get them or are adopted.. I would adopt both if they could get here. Thank you PETA for sending help to the critters in Japan…Janice and Isabella, you are changing and saving lives by the moment. Thank You!
@ Janice, just saw the story you speak of and I'm happy to tell you that they said both dogs have been rescued.
THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart I send a huge thank you out to those that are looking after the animals. There are so many people looking out for people but very few to look out for the animals. I feel better knowing that someone is there helping them.
Yes, Janice that was heartbreaking but I heard on facebook they were rescued by a guy that had a crate big enough. They said it was a struggle because they were taken by bike. I just think about how many others are out there. Thank God for Peta and spca for helping animals, sometimes they are forgotten in tragedies.
It does my heart good to know that the animals in this disaster are not being forgotten. @Janice, I have information that the two you mentioned in your post were rescued and are doing good. That video was just heartbreaking, and I am so glad those two dogs were rescured. Talk about loyalty!
It's wonderful to see that there are people who care so much for these poor creatures. Thank you for doing what you are doing and to everyone who is doing their part (no matter how "little" it may seem, it all makes a difference). All living beings in Japan are in my thoughts.
Have you seen the video of the injured dog and her companion that will not leave ( the injured one)? A news crew was out and they looked very cold, tired and I'm sure hungry. They only had Japanese sub titles so I couldn't understand what was going on. I can't stop thinking about those 2 pups

With playdowns running into February, it's good the Mudlarks can start basketball, instead.
What the heck is a playdown?
Now they're just reaching for ways to keep Milford from winning anything. It's getting silly how he can't run through these scrubs for one season in anything. I bet the rest of the schools want to play a Valley Conference school in the playdowns because it's an easy win.
Reason for Terry Gallagher story being pointless: The refs didn't screw Terry Gallagher; Terry Gallagher screwed Terry Gallagher.
Still doesn't beat "She's 18" as a way to make a Gil Thorp plot pointless.
Jack Berrill; We still miss you.
The stars at night are big and bright, (clap, clap, clap, clap) deep in the heart of Milford.
And so another Mudlarks' football season comes to a close…perhaps Terry is a bit wiser….
To add insult to injury, the VT PK sends a spiral through for the winner. This thorpy-less streak is becoming Cleveland Indian like. I told you my esteemed colleagues, Mr. Rubin NEVER throws us a championship bone and we hang around like a hair on a bisquit.
If Gil had been coaching instead of going to job interviews this might not have happened. Terry got a bad call, but Terry had been a jerk so he deserved it? With these plot lines,Jack Berrill we really do miss you.
Not only did he kick a spiral, it also was a line drive that never got more than 3 feet above the crossbar – from 41 yards away no less!
Well at least everyone learned a valuable lesson. And that is…..umm…….let me think……
Okay, Steve. Here's my take on the lesson learned in this storyline. Sometimes even a foreigner to this great land can be taken in by a scam artist and led astry, but can make amends with a lot of flowers, and then ultimately discover that even your hardest work and best intentions can be shattered by an incompetent referee who messes up your championship season and memories for life with one bad call.
Well, Terry's reputation preceded him on the field, now will it precede him again at the Bucket. Story's over, so I don't think we'll find out.
I realize that for the sake of realism, the Mudlarks can't make a deep playdown run too often, but come on…Neal Rubin is going too far in the opposite direction re: MHS is just a middling mediocre program who almost never makes a dent in the post season.
I dunno, ohiobobcat, in my neck-of-the-woods there are perennial powers that consistently win, and it's usually because of coaching. Here in Texas, at least, there'd be a lot of pressure for Gil to focus on coaching one sport and being the AD, given his recent track record.

Jewell touts new fire-prevention funding proposal
U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell visited Redding on Tuesday and touted a new way to pay for fire prevention, which she said annually is looted to pay for fire suppression.
Jewell met with firefighters battling the thousands of acres burning across the North State and toured facilities at the Northern California Geographic Area Coordination Center in Redding.
During her tour, Jewell said federal officials are caught in a downward spiral of taking money from fire prevention and using it for fire suppression. Two bills in Congress, which the Obama administration supports, would change how firefighting is funded and prevent taking money from prevention, she said.
"It's been a problem for decades," Jewell said.
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Director Ken Pimlott, who accompanied Jewell on part of her tour, said the lack of fire prevention work of forest thinning has made wildland fires more intense.
"We've got a significant fuel buildup all over the state contributing to fire intensity," Pimlott said.
The proposed legislation would fund wildfires similar to how other emergency disasters are paid for, and agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management would not have to use money set aside for fire prevention for fighting fires, Jewell said.
"We need a better way to fund escalating wildfire suppression costs," Jewell said. "The president's budget proposal — and similar bipartisan legislation before Congress — gives the flexibility to accommodate peak fire seasons, without adding to the deficit or cutting important interior and Forest Service missions such as forest and rangeland restoration, fuels management and proactive community protection."
After touring the northern operations center on Airport Road in Redding, Jewell toured the Swasey Recreation Area west of Redding where BLM officials have thinned trees and brush to reduce the likelihood of severe fire.
While Jewell was in town to learn more about the challenges facing firefighters, members of the Hoopa Tribe protested at the operations center against U.S. Bureau of Reclamation policies affecting the Klamath River.
About 20 members of the tribe held signs and asked the secretary to authorize more water to be released from Trinity Dam down the Trinity River to benefit salmon swimming upstream to spawn in the Klamath River.
The cooler water and higher flows help prevent disease that kills the fish.
Hoopa Tribe Chairwoman Danielle Vigil-Masten said salmon are already dying in the river because the water is getting too warm and there is too little water in the stream. The tribe and other groups have asked for more water to be sent down the Trinity River, which flows into the Klamath, to provide higher stream flows and cooler water.
"The fish are our livelihood, just as the water is our life blood," Vigil-Masten said.

Slender seahorse
The slender seahorse or longsnout seahorse (not to be confused with the Long-snouted seahorse), Hippocampus reidi, is a species of fish in the Syngnathidae family.[1]
The slender seahorse typically grows to be approximately 6.8 inches long (17.5 centimeters). Males and females are easily distinguished due to their bright colors. Males are usually orange, while the females are yellow. However, both males and females may have brown or white spots placed sporadically upon their body. These spots may also change into a pink or white color during the courtship period.[2]
Habitat and Distribution[edit]
The slender seahorse has been found at depths of 55 meters. Smaller individuals inhabit shallower waters. The slender seahorse has an affinity for coral reefs[2] and seagrass beds and can be found on gorgonian coral, seagrass, mangroves, and Sargassum. It is native to many countries, including the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Panama, United States (Florida and North Carolina), and Venezuela.[3] It inhabits subtropical regions, ranging from 29 degrees north to 25 degrees south and 133 degrees west to 40 degrees east.[1]

Family Against Paris Jackson's Biological Mother Debbie Rowe Becoming Her Legal Guardian
The family of late singer Michael Jackson has spoken out about the prospect of Debbie Rowe, the biological mother of two of Jackson's children, taking custody of daughter Paris in the wake of her recent suicide attempt, but ultimately it's up to her to decide if she wants to live with her biological mother or not.
While Rowe hasn't made any attemtps or mentions of becoming her daughter's legal guardian, members of the Jackson family have made it clear that they will fight Rowe "tooth and nail" if she tries to win custody of Paris and/or son "Prince" Michael, according to TMZ.com.
Jackson's mother Katherine, currently watches over his three kids (the mother of Jackson's youngest son, "Prince" Michael II aka "Blanket," is unknown) and her case is under review by a judge to determine if she's capable of caring for them in the wake of Paris's suicide attempt.
But while the family may be adamantly against Rowe getting custody of Paris, it is up to the 15-year-old to decide.
Paris recently started seeing her mother more because her relationship with her grandmother has reportedly been strained, which could ultimately weigh on her decision.

in order to find the eigenvector for the eigenvalue r , you first subtract r from the diagonal of the matrix and then find the kernel of that matrix. this is because the eigenvector needs to solve the equation Av=rv, or 0 = Av-rv=Av-rIv=(A-rI)v. the best way to do it is to find its reduced row echelon form and then solve the system.
for example with the 0 eigenvalue you get
(almost reduced form...)
now, a vector is in the kernel of that matrix only if it has the form (0,-x,3x), so the base for the kernel is the vector (0,-1,3) which is the eigenvector. if the base is of higher dimension then you have more than 1 eigenvector for that specified eigenvalue

I do like how Nintendo fanboys went from "give it time, the console will take off" to "hahaha the Vita sucks and is failed because it isn't selling good" in the span of a couple of months.
Very good point, the 3DS took it's time to take off as well taking a nearly first-seen-ever early price cut. The same could go for the Vita, but it's target audience is so much different, I don't see Vita's rolling over the counter to kids, and that's where it's missing the bulk of large sales numbers. With it's much larger appeal to a broader audience I never doubted the 3DS was going to pick up more sales than the Vita.

FAYETTEVILLE – The Fayette County Sheriff's Office is conducting two checkpoints this week in an effort to increase compliance with seat belt laws.
Sheriff Steve Kessler says the first checkpoint will be tomorrow afternoon on Route 16 in Fayetteville. The second will be Wednesday afternoon on Rt. 16 in the Oak Ridge area.
Both seat belt checkpoints will be between noon and 4 p.m.
Deputies will be handing out pamphlets explaining the new seat belt laws, and Fayette County Sheriff, Chief Deputy Mike Fridley says it's more important now than ever to buckle up."
"If we see you not wearing a seat belt we can pull you over for that. It used to be a secondary offense where we had to find another offense to pull you over, meaning speeding, or running a stop sign, red light."
Fridley adds the new state law is what forced the change.
"If you're not wearing your seat belt just like cell phone usage or texting, it's a primary offense now."
Law enforcement officials says more than 200 citations have been issued during these special enforcement patrols.

Family says no rest until Kelley is found
The exhaustion in Todd Scale's voice is unmistakable – he freely admits he's tired. But until his daughter is found there will be very little rest.
Kristy Kelley is the 27-year-old Boonville woman who went missing more than a week ago. Daily searches all over Warrick County have turned up no evidence in the disappearance, despite the efforts of hundreds of volunteers out looking for her every day.
"We're exhausted, but we can't stop until we find her," he told the Courier & Press on Saturday morning while sitting with his wife, Kathy.
Authorities maintain there have been no direct signs suggesting foul play. National media outlets and some blogs have also tried to connect the case to other instances of missing women in the Evansville area, but investigators and Scales himself say there is nothing to suggest any links.
Kelley, a mother of two young children, was last seen at the VFW post in Boonville around 1:30 a.m. Authorities said surveillance footage show her vehicle a 2003 silver Nissan Xterra leaving a short time later. She then failed to show up at her job later that morning – something that friends and family say is out of her character. That's where the timeline dries up.
"They definitely miss their mom, I've had to make the promise that we will find their mom," Scales said when asked about his grandchildren. They are both with their father. Kelley is divorced.
Kelley's vehicle has been put in national missing databases, Warrick County Sheriff Brett Kruse has said.
On Saturday, search efforts were aided by the Jodi Powers Search & Rescue Team, a Kentucky volunteer group. Several hundred volunteers showed up at Studio Bee in Boonville, which has become the headquarters for the search for Kelley. That facility's executive director, Randy Beard, is a childhood friend of Scales, though Beard offered the space for search efforts before he even knew that he was so closely connected to Kelley's family.
On Saturday, Beard promised to "keep pressing on" and Scales said searches will continue out of Studio Bee until the case is solved.
Some of Saturday's volunteers were sent to the area around the VFW Post and the Warrick County 4-H Center looking for any sign of personal belongings, according to Boonville Police Chief Daryl Saltzman. However, Saltzman said sending groups to those areas was simply because of the manpower that was available on Saturday and because previous searches have been more focused on finding Kelley's vehicle, and not new evidence.
Scales and his wife thanked the community for their physical efforts and for their prayers. Todd Scales urged the community to remain vigilant on behalf of his daughter even if the days continue to drag on without any clues.
"Please keep looking. We know she's out there," Scales said. "All it takes is one person to spot one thing,"

Fedora Investigates Security Incident
"Based on the results of our investigation so far, we do not believe that any Fedora packages or other Fedora contributor accounts were affected by thiscompromise," said Fedora project leader, Jared Smith in an email to the Fedora announce mailing list.
In his email, Smith noted that earlier this week a Fedora contributor account had been compromised; however, Fedora's Infrastructure Team can show that the compromise was external and was not due to any code vulnerability or exploit.
Smith also tells Fedora users the compromised account was not a member of any sysadmin or Release Engineering groups and the privileges on the account were limited to SSH to fedorapeople.org (user permissions are very limited on this machine), push access to packages in the Fedora SCM and the ability to perform builds and make updates to Fedora packages.
Smith reminds Fedora contributors to choose a strong FAS password and not to use their FAS password on any other websites or user accounts. He also tells contributors, "If you receive an email from FAS notifying you of changes to your account that you did not make, please contact the Fedora Infrastructure team immediately via admin at fedoraproject.org."

Re: Vero Cepede Royg
This week Vero is playing in USA (75K Alburquerque ) and she is into the final. In doubles it was not a good week lost early in the first round.

Re: Vero Cepede Royg
Well, she lost to Flipkens, but put up a good fight Led 5-3 in the first set but couldn't close it out. She was level at 3-3 in the second set still but then fell apart at the end, Flipkens is just far too experienced on this surface.
Congrats on a great week Vero!
Next I guess will be Wimbledon qualies?

Re: Vero Cepede Royg
What a week for her in Mallorca
5 straight wins including today's marathon over Laura Siegemund! Great determination, grit and patience on display coming from 5-3* down in the final set to win the next 4 games and close out the match! I did not expect her to win this one Final score was 7-6(5) 3-6 7-5. I could be wrong but this may be the first time she has beaten two top 100 players back-to-back. On grass nonetheless
I guess that Olympics wildcard gave her a big confidence boost as well as finally winning her first Grand Slam match at RG a couple of weeks ago. She must feel like she really believes in herself at this level now. Let's hope she can sustain and even build on this
Vero's now at her career high ranking at 123 Good luck against Flipkens! She will be very tough, Vero needs to keep her UE's down and go for her shots, but she has nothing to lose. I hope she's not too tired.

Re: Vero Cepede Royg
Good fight against Sloane. At 6-5* 15-30, I thought she might very well take the first set. But instead, from that point on, she lost 18 points in a row Great tennis anyway in the first set, Sloane was just too strong. What a shame Sloane didn't play like she did against Pironkova next match...
If Vero can improve on her defence, she will definitely have the goods to be a solid top 100 player. However, when things aren't working or she keeps missing, she doesn't seem to have much to work with.
Good luck in Marseille and on the grass

Vanport Limestone Fractures
In the streambed of Hell Run adjacent to the Hells Hollow parking lot, the Vanport Limestone has many deep, wide fractures extending perpendicular across the stream. This type of fracture appears to occur only at this location. During dry periods, such as when this photo was taken, the water in the stream flows into the subsurface upstream from here, where the fractures begin, leaving this stretch of the stream dry. The flow reappears several hundred feet downstream, where the fractures end.

In what appears to be an attempt to overwhelm their critics, postal union members have sent more than 100 pounds of mail to a tea party group advocating for United States Postal Service reform.
"I find the idea of the unions attacking a tea party group for simply supporting a bill that would make our whole country more efficient and that would lower the cost of the taxpayers' yearly contributions to an inefficient agency, is just outrageous"
Isn't this an admission that the USPS is part of the problem ?

The Virtues of Uncertainty in Law: An Experimental Approach

Iowa Law Review, Vol. 89, p. 443, 2004
Predictability in civil and criminal sanctions is generally understood as desirable. Conversely, unpredictability is condemned as a violation of the rule of law. This paper explores predictability in sanctioning from the point of view of efficiency. It is argued that, given a constant expected sanction, deterrence is increased when either the size of the sanction or the probability that it will be imposed is uncertain. This conclusion follows from earlier findings in behavioral decision research and the results of an experiment conducted specifically to examine this hypothesis. The findings suggest that, within an efficiency framework, there are virtues to uncertainty that may cast doubt on the premise that law should always strive to be as predictable as possible.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A water main broke at 42nd Avenue and Bottineau Boulevard in Robbinsdale Saturday morning, causing a 50-feet wide sinkhole.
Traffic is being rerouted around the affected area. County Road 81 is closed all the way to Highway 100, as is 42nd Avenue from Broadway to Lakeland.
"It is an amazing sight, especially after seeing all the trees down form the storm, it's still surreal to see this," witness Susan Ritchie said. "The entire street heaved and the tar eroded."
Laurel Dunham says he saw the sinkhole start out as a tiny crack in the road.
"It started out a real small crack and then it started getting bigger and bigger, and then all of a sudden everything started collapsing," Dunham said.
The water main was 36 inches in diameter, and also delivers water to New Hope, Crystal and Golden Valley.
Robbinsdale mayor Regan Murphy says he is thankful that no one was hurt.
"What they think happened was once the pipe ruptured or whatever happened, the water level kept the road up until they shut down the water main. Then at that point in time, the water washed away the rest of the soil beneath the road, and that's when it collapsed," Murphy said.
It could take two weeks to repair both the water main. The road could be closed for weeks.

But my life is pretty busy right now. And to be honest I just don't have the time or the inclination to set up a new filofax. Of course I could simply move the Malden's current contents into my lovely purple Finchley. And Ms Finchley actually matches my lovely new Bays. But I know myself. I would need to rewrite everything into crisp new pages. I would need to use different coloured pens. It would have to look pretty (you know I am vacuous). And I have so much useful information in my Malden that it would take forever (of course I exaggerate, maybe a good two days). It is soooooooooo frustrating!!
So until I can find the time I guess it will be me and my Malden. But Valentine's day is approaching. And we all know that it is the best time to break up with someone (well if you want to make an impression and be considered the world's greatest b***h/ b*****d). I like to be the best at everything. So Malden although you may be on borrowed time, you will live for another day. For now..............
Tell me lovelies. What should I do? Stick with the Malden or move on to the Finchley? Please share in the comments and have a wonderful day!

This questions seems to be coming from database theory. I don't know off top of my head any web sites that are devoted to it, but I am sure there are plenty and that basic textbooks on databases discuss this.
To discuss this outside of database context, one has to define dependency and {a1, a2} (is it an ordered pair? unordered pair?). I guess there is a dependency between two columns of a table if these columns define a function, i.e., for each value in the first column there is one and only one value in the same row in the second column. Then yes, if a3 depends on a1 and a4 depends on a2, then there is a dependency between two columns a1, a2 viewed as a column of ordered pairs and two columns a3, a4.

Nine years into the future, America has emerged from an unnamed and yet-to-happen calamity. It's reborn with a seemingly God-fearing public and almost no crime to speak of. Except for one night a year, with"The Purge," when it's open season on anyone not wealthy or strong enough to protect themselves. But look on the bright side: Unemployment is only at 1 percent!
The Players:
- Writer and Director: James DeMonaco
- Cast: Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Max Burkholder, Adelaide Kane
- Cinematography: Jacques Jouffret
- Original Music by: Nathan Whitehead
The Plot:
It's the night of the annual Purge, where America descends into chaos, with any crime — including murder — being legal for a 12-hour period. Home security system salesman and father James Sandin (Hawke) plans to wait it out behind his barricade with his wife (Headey) and kids (Bukholder, Kane). But between his daughter's pesky boyfriend, his son's tendency to value human life,plus an on-the-run homeless man, there's no way the night's going smoothly.
The Good:
- High concept: It's an interesting idea, this Purge, especially given the chilling mundanity with which it's presented in the film. What's even more interesting is the idea that it's actually a means for society to clear out the undesirables. Anyone not wealthy or strong enough to defend themselves winds up dead. Class warfare, get it?
- Scare tactics: DeMonaco manages to rustle up some genuine scares throughout the film's brief running time. A seemingly normal suburban home under siege by smiley murderers is a great set up for shocking moments.
The Bad:
- What's your rush? After more fuss than necessary getting the Sandins into lockdown and establishing their family dynamic, you'd think DeMonaco would want to have some fun with the lethal cat-and-mouse game. But no, apparently someone's in a hurry, as the last third of the movie whips by at an unsatisfying pace.
- Not too tech-savvy: I'm guessing whatever disaster necessitated America's "rebirth" also negatively impacted technological advancement. The phones, cameras, cars, and even guns look about the same as they do now. Come on, nine years is a long time when it comes to cell phone design evolution. Which begs the question, why bother setting it in the near future at all? Why not just make it, "What would it be like if this were happening now?"
- What's the point? The clever and thought-provoking concept of The Purge isn't given nearly the amount of discussion it deserves. It leads to an incredibly underwhelming experience for the viewers. Unless the point is to make us examine how much we enjoy the graphic kills on display here. In that case the filmmakers are being far too subtle and sophisticated for their medium. Also, the rules of the game for dystopian films is that by the end we get concrete proof someone's going to try to change the world for the better and end the nightmare. Not to give too much away, but The Purge doesn't seem too concerned with that.
The Purge takes an interesting concept and does nothing interesting with it. Don't let it in.
The Rating: 4/10
The Purge opens in theaters June 7.

Will you be seeing The Purge this weekend?

Mark it Down: Teahen Breaks Out of Slump as Sox Hammer D-Backs, 10-3
Will the real Mark Teahen please step forward? The new White Sox third baseman (pictured above) was acquired from the Royals during the off-season partially due to his dominance over Sox pitching–particularly Mark Buehrle. In other words, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Sox Cut Seven, 32 Remain in Major League Camp
In less than two weeks (Monday, April 5), the White Sox open up the regular season against the Cleveland Indians at U.S. Cellular Field.
Today, the Sox got a bit closer to their Opening Day 25-man roster by sending two players to Charlotte–pitcher Carlos Torres and catcher Tyler Flowers–and five others to their minor league camp. They include outfielder Jordan Danks, first baseman Josh Kroeger, third baseman Brent Morel, second baseman C.J. Retherford and pitcher Ryan Braun. There are now 32 left in the big league camp.
The likely scenario finds two roster spots yet to be filled. The Sox expect to take 12 pitchers north–starters Jake Peavy, Mark Buehrle, Gavin Floyd, John Danks, Freddy Garcia and a bullpen of Bobby Jenks, J.J. Putz, Matt Thornton, Scott Linebrink, Tony Pena, Randy Williams and one of the following: Sergio Santos (pictured below), Dan Hudson, Greg Aquino, Erick Threets and Charlie Leesman. The best bet to make it is Santos, who is out of options and has been very impressive this spring.
The other spot, a backup infielder/outfielder, will probably go to either frontrunner Jayson Nix, who is out of options, or Brent Lillibridge. The wild card here is if the Sox decide to go with red-hot outfielder Alejandro De Aza instead of Nix or Lillibridge. Or, they could go with 11 pitchers and take both De Aza and Nix/Lillibridge (pictured below, left to right, under the watchful eye their skipper). One last possibility, admittedly remote, is to take a 13th pitcher instead of the extra position player.
The White Sox From A to Z: Notes From Spring Training
After a week at Camelback Ranch, it's back to reality. Here are my spring training thoughts from A to Z:
* A — A big plus for me was to see both Andruw Jones and Alex Rios off to great starts. Jones has hit two home runs, eight RBI and is hitting .385 with a .467 on base percentage. Rios has been nursing an injury, but is hitting .304 with a pair of homers, six RBI and a .346 OBP.
* B — The Natural, Gordon Beckham (pictured below), doesn't look like he's going to suffer from the sophomore jinx. So far in the spring, he's hitting .333 with five doubles and a homer and is getting on base 43 percent of the time. He's also been making every play at second base.
* C — is for the catching situation. A.J. Pierzynski is hitting at a .345 clip and shows no signs of slowing down. Ramon Castro is a capable backup. There was never any question that Tyler Flowers would begin the season at Charlotte, but it is a bit troubling he's off to such a slow start.
* D — One of the highlights of Sox spring training has been the play of former Florida Marlin, outfielder Alejandro De Aza. Despite being destined to begin the year with Charlotte, he is hitting .333 with seven RBI. He's an exciting player who very well might be up in Chicago at some time during the season.
* E — is for errors, which I'm happy to say will hopefully occur much less in 2010. The Sox will be a more versatile and fundamentally sound team so there will likely be fewer miscues and brain cramps.
* F — is for the Twittergate "flap," which looked for a while like it would be a major
distraction. Luckily Ozzie stopped it before it really impacted the team.
* G — Our old friend Freddy Garcia (pictured below) takes the hill this season as the fifth starter. He seems a lot older because he's been around so long, but Freddy is just shy of 34 and should give us the necessary push at the No. 5 spot in an outstanding rotation.
* H — If Freddy doesn't come through the Sox are well-protected with Dan Hudson, who pitched at every level of baseball last season and did a creditable job with the Sox in September. He looks like the real deal.
* I — I predict that the Sox will win the AL Central with the Twins, Tigers, Royals and Indians finishing in that order.
* J — Bobby Jenks has been struggling with his calf, but he says he'll be ready to go Opening Day. The Sox have some depth in the bullpen, but losing Jenks would definitely be a big blow.
* K — We need Paul Konerko to have a big year, especially with the departure of Jim Thome and Jermaine Dye. It could be Paulie's last season in Chicago, but let's hope it's one of his best.
* L — Scott Linebrink has proven himself to be a capable reliever, but you wouldn't know it from his performance a year ago. He's been up and down this spring, but he needs to rebound to max out our pen.
* M — As THE lefty in the bullpen, Matt Thornton (pictured below) is indispensible. While I was in Arizona he was perfect. The other half of the main DH platoon with Jones, Mark Kotsay, is on fire this spring, hitting .433 with a .514 on base percentage and a .500 slugging mark.
* N — Will Jayson Nix, Brent Lillibridge or a perhaps a late spring pickup win the last remaining spot among position players? Since it's listed under "N," my choice is naturally Nix.
* O — Brought to the Sox to back up and mentor Alexei Ramirez and Beckham, Omar Vizquel, who will be 43 in April, still looks perfectly capable of contributing.
* P — Jake Peavy, entering his first Sox season, J.J. Putz and Juan Pierre (pictured below) all have key roles. From what I witnessed in Glendale, Peavy's in mid-season form, Putz was up and down and it's obvious what positives Pierre is going to give us from the leadoff spot. Another "P" is Tony Pena, a member of the relief corps who has compiled a 1.59 ERA in five appearances in Arizona.
* Q — Carlos Quentin looks ready to go, even though his spring stats aren't gaudy. Health is the key here and CQ looks like he's ready for the long haul.
* R — With the help of Vizquel, Ramirez will be better defensively and that may make him more relaxed at the plate.
* S — A converted infielder and former No. 1 draft choice of the Diamondbacks, Sergio Santos has been a revelation and a real candidate for the final spot in the bullpen. He's been very impressive and brings a lot of heat. The fact he's out of options may force the Sox to bring him North.
* T — If I have one major concern, it's Mark Teahen. He's been awful so far in spring training, presumably putting a lot pressure on himself. I don't even want to think about what happens if he flops.
* U — U stands for the Sox being underrated. Haven't seen any of the so-called experts throwing compliments our way, let alone picking the Sox to win the AL Central. Hopefully I'm right and they're wrong.
* V — I've thrown around the word versatile when writing and talking about the Sox. It was certainly apparent to me that they'll be more running and bunting on this team–with players that can actually execute.
* W — Randy Williams, the journeyman reliever who has pretty much locked up the role as the second lefty in the pen, has pitched eight scoreless innings this spring.
* X — Saw a few ex-Sox in Florida, including Orlando Cabrera, Nick Masset (Reds), Josh Fields, Chris Getz and Scott Podsednik (Royals) plus former farmhand Aaron Cunningham (Padres). I saw that Brian Anderson hit for the cyle for KC and went 5 for 5 in a game during that time, but I wasn't there to witness it.
* Y — Why is Jordan Danks listed here? Because I had to find some place to give him his due, that's Y. He's big, strong, fast and will be a major element to the Sox fortunes for many years to come. We'll likely see him in Chicago with his big bro some time this season.
* Z — Z stands for the many zeroes our starting staff will throw this season. The strength of the club is definitely our rotation with Peavy (pictured below, top), Garcia, John Danks, Gavin Floyd and last but not least Mr. Perfect, Mark Buehrle (pictured below, bottom).
Bing, Bang, Boom–23 Runs, 32 Hits, 0 Errors and the First Two Sox Victories of the Spring
It was a Saturday of epic proportion. Well, maybe not epic, but boy it was fun.
Bobby Jenks' "Lifestyle" Change Can Only Be a Positive for the White Sox
Joe Namath has been quoted as saying, and I paraphrase, that anytime something bad happened in his life, alcohol was involved.
So, using that as an example, it was refreshing news that Sox closer Bobby Jenks not only came to camp about 25 pounds lighter, but that he's given up drinking "cold turkey" as well. By Jenks' own admission, the alcohol was contributing to him heading in the wrong direction.
It goes without saying that a fit, focused Jenks along with a rejuvenated J.J. Putz and Matt Thornton gives the Sox a back end of a bullpen that is among the very elite. Combine that with one of the top starting staffs in baseball and pitching is without question the club's strength.
Under any circumstances, Jenks is a key to the entire staff and his newly-found discipline can only mean good things for the Sox.
