The Professional Ethics Executive Committee (PEEC) of the AICPA is proposing a rule that would require Institute members to disclose to their clients the outsourcing of professional services. The exposure draft, "Omnibus Proposal of Ethics Division Interpretations and Rulings," is available at www.aicpa.org/members/div/ ethics/ed_outsourcing.htm. Comments are welcome until Oct. 8.
Like what you see? Click here to sign up for Accounting Today's daily newsletter to get the latest news and behind the scenes commentary you won't find anywhere else.
The PEEC convened a task force earlier this year to examine the issues surrounding the outsourcing of services.
The exposure draft proposes three new rulings in the Institute's Code of Professional Conduct: Under Rule 102, Integrity and Objectivity, a member would have to inform the client of the use of a third-party service provider prior to sharing confidential client information with that provider; under Rules 201, General Standards, and 202, Compliance With Standards, a member using a third-party provider is responsible for all work performed by the provider; and under Rule 301, Confidential Client Information, a member who uses a third-party provider should enter into a contractual agreement with that provider to ensure the confidentiality of client records.
The draft is at www.aicpa.org/members/div/ethics/ed_outsourcing.htm.
The California Board of Accountancy has also issued a regulation notice informing licensees of amendments to its Code of Regulations related to outsourcing disclosures.
The proposal would revise Section 54.1 of the Code to provide that, in the event confidential client information may be disclosed to persons or entities outside the U.S., the licensee inform the client in writing and obtain the client's written permission.
The board said that the objective of the proposal is "to help ensure that the clients of licensees have the information they need to make informed choices regarding the disclosure of their financial information." The Regulation Notice is available online at www.dca.ca.gov/ cba/notices/reg04-1.pdf.

The Portland Trail Blazers are mostly out of playoff contention and now face the task of managing minutes to figure out what they have on their roster. This team has sped up the rebuilding process, in large part because of Damian Lillard, and now needs to solidify its bench to take it to the next level.
The Blazers have a good amount of youth on their bench. The challenge is getting those players minutes, while also keeping their best players on the floor for most of the game. The team will likely look to bring in some role players, but evaluating its bench will give it a better idea of how much to spend.
Here is a look at how the Blazers should manage minutes throughout the rest of the season.

The ROC and Indonesian governments signed a memorandum of understanding Sept. 13 on developing the Southeast Asian nation's island of Morotai. The plan includes establishing an international airport and port, as well as a special economic zone. Morotai is located 2,600 kilometers from Taiwan in northeastern Indonesia and has great potential as a logistics and tourism center.
Fitch Ratings confirmed Sept. 13 Taiwan's sovereign rating of A-plus with a stable outlook, citing the country's stable public debt and strong external finances.
Christopher Marut, new director of the American Institute in Taiwan's Taipei Office, arrived in country Sept. 13 to assume his post. In a brief statement on arrival at Taoyuan Taiwan International Airport, Marut said he has a deep personal attachment to the island and will continue promoting Taipei-Washington relations. Marut lived in Taiwan as a student in the 1970s and worked at the AIT's Taipei Office in the late 1980s. Both his children were born in Taiwan.
ROC President Ma Ying-jeou named Fung Ming-chu new director of Taipei-based National Palace Museum Sept. 13, according to the Presidential Office.

|Going Wild: How to Enjoy Nature With Your Kids—Wherever You Live
|Thursday, 16 February 2012 00:00 | Written by Kim Ridley | Article
If nature came in a bottle, you can bet that every pediatrician would prescribe it. Time spent in nature can improve a child's attention, boost creativity, reduce stress and provide a host of other benefits. It's also good for parents. Exploring the natural world together can strengthen family bonds. And you don't need to trek to the most remote wilderness to enjoy these positive effects—it's as easy as going wild right at home. Here's how...
Curing 'Nature Deficit Disorder'
Louv links rising rates of childhood depression, obesity, attention disorders and other problems in part to a lack of nature in children's hyper-wired lives. A growing body of research (pdf) supports his contention that giving children more time in a natural setting can help counteract these trends and support their well-being.
So where does a busy parent begin? It's easier—and more fun—than you might think. Here are eight ideas to get you started right out of the chute.
Start Exploring
Create a Little Habitat
Create a Big Habitat
Get Your Hands Dirty
Count the Birds
Look for Signs
Slow Down
If you need support, join the slow parenting movement. It is a growing phenomenon described by Carl Honoré in his book, Under Pressure: Rescuing Childhood from the Culture of Overparenting.
Tap into Wonder
As Rachel Carson famously wrote in her book, The Sense of Wonder, "If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in."

In addition to bird feeders, we have also had a lot of fun with a wren house. If you put a small wooden one in a safe, protected place, wrens will come! Be sure to get a house with a hole cut to the right size. Then watch as a pair makes a home and, once babies arrive, delivers food to their nestlings. After breeding season, remove the roof to examine the nest. Do you recognize string or fabric from your own home?Report abuse

Wonderful post and great resources. A great way to get the kids interested in bird watching is to let them make their very own natural bird feeder.

Nursing diagnosis: disturbed body image related to situational crisis—traumatic event, dependent client role; disfigurement, pain
Possibly evidenced by
Negative feelings about body and self, fear of rejection or reaction by others
Focus on past appearance, abilities; preoccupation with change/loss
Change in physical capacity to resume role, change in social involvement
Desired Outcomes/Evaluation Criteria—Client Will
Body Image
Incorporate changes into self-concept without negating self-esteem.
Verbalize acceptance of self in situation.
Role Performance
Talk with family/SO about situation and changes that have occurred.
Develop realistic goals and plans for the future.
Nursing intervention with rationale:
1. Assess meaning of loss or change to client and SO, including future expectations and impact of cultural and religious beliefs.
Rationale: Traumatic episode results in sudden, unanticipated changes, creating feelings of grief over actual or perceived losses. This necessitates support to work through to optimal resolution.
2. Acknowledge and accept expression of feelings of frustration, dependency, anger, grief, and hostility. Note withdrawn behavior and use of denial.
Rationale: Acceptance of these feelings as a normal response to what has occurred facilitates resolution. It is not helpful or possible to push client before he or she is ready to deal with the situation. Denial may be prolonged and be an adaptive mechanism because client is not ready to cope with personal problems.
3. Set limits on maladaptive behavior (e.g., manipulative or aggressive). Maintain nonjudgmental attitude while giving care, and help client identify positive behaviors that will aid in recovery.
Rationale: Client and SO tend to deal with this crisis in the same way in which they have dealt with problems in the past. Staff may find it difficult and frustrating to handle behavior that is disrupting and not helpful to recuperation but should realize that the behavior is usually directed toward the situation and not the care provider.
4. Be realistic and positive during treatments, in health teaching, and in setting goals within limitations.
Rationale: Enhances trust and rapport between client and nurse.
5. Encourage client and SO to view wounds and assist with care, as appropriate.
Rationale: Promotes acceptance of reality of injury and of change in body and image of self as different.
6. Provide hope within parameters of individual situation; do not give false reassurance.
Rationale: Promotes positive attitude and provides opportunity to set goals and plan for future based on reality.
7. Assist client to identify extent of actual change in appearance/ body function.
Rationale: Helps begin process of looking to the future and how life will be different.
8. Give positive reinforcement of progress and encourage endeavors toward attainment of rehabilitation goals.
Rationale: Words of encouragement can support development of positive coping behaviors.
9. Show slides or pictures of burn care or other client outcomes, being selective in what is shown as appropriate to the individual situation. Encourage discussion of feelings about what client has seen.
Rationale: Allows client and SO to be realistic in expectations. Also assists in demonstration of importance of, and necessity for, certain devices and procedures.
10. Refer to physical or occupational therapy, vocational counselor, and psychiatric counseling, for example, a psychiatric clinical nurse specialist, social services, or a psychologist, as needed.
Rationale: Helpful in identifying ways and devices to regain and maintain independence. Client may need further assistance to resolve persistent emotional problems—especially posttrauma response.

Excellent. The chives and cayenne set these corn muffins apart from the ho-hum normal. And they're lower in fat than usual. I did try them along with the grilled portabellos mentioned above, recipe #136339. They were a hit.

These are great! Was told tonight "you make the best potatoes" I added a bit more ranch then sour cream for a bit of a stronger ranch flavour
I wish I could give this recipe 10 stars, as I loved these potatoes! These are a nice change from the taters one makes with hash browns, canned soups, and sour cream. I used 8 potatoes, and boiled them in salted water for exactly 30 minutes. I also cut the potatoes smaller (each into 8-pieces), and I'm glad I did. I placed the potatoes in a greased baking pan. (I used Country Crock Spread to grease the pan.) To give the potatoes more ranch flavor, I used a 3/4 cup of the bottled dressing, mixed with 1/3 cup of sour cream. Adding more ranch dressing, gave the potatoes a nice tangy flavor. I poured that mixture over the potatoes (no need to stir/mix them), then topped the taters with 1-1/2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Also, I didn't crush the cereal (this way they won't burn so easily). I just drizzled the melted butter over 2 cups of the (whole) corn flakes cereal, and baked this casserole (uncovered) for 45 minutes. The end results...YUM!! This recipe is definitely a keeper. They'd be good served for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner!
This was really good & so simple too.. I left out the butter & it didn't really need it & also added some bacon bits. The top got a little overly crunchy so I would put foil over it next time but this was a really yummy tater dish. Thanks for posting!

Getting Started
Using the Main Street Approach
If your community plans to start a Main Street program to revive your commercial district or reinvigorate a struggling or previously failed revitalization attempt, look over the first steps listed below. These recommendations will help you generate the local support necessary to establish a revitalization initiative, as well as to apply to your coordinating program to become an Affiliate Main Street America™ organization.
|Read "Getting Started" - the online chapter about starting a Main Street program from the publication Revitalizing Main Street: A Practitioner's Guide to Commercial District Revitalization.
First, begin building support for a commercial district revitalization program:
- Form a working group: Ask colleagues in your community about starting a revitalization initiative. Canvass all stakeholders who have an interest in the future of your downtown or commercial district, including merchants, business owners, property owners, and residents. Contact the mayor and other local government officials, the city planning department, city economic development officials, and other organizations, such as the chamber of commerce or merchants association. Form a working group or task force of interested individuals and community leaders to explore launching an initiative. The wider the group of people you gather, the easier it is to build support and spread the word. All of these entities will benefit from a revitalized district and should support your effort, both programmatically and financially, so you need to bring them to the table now.
- Take a good look at your district: Look at your downtown or commercial district as if you are a first-time visitor. What are its strengths? What needs improvement? Take photos and make notes.
- Generate broad-based local interest and support: Hold a community meeting to discuss the idea. Call your state, regional or citywide Main Street coordinating program for advice and possible attendance at the meeting. Ask for feedback from participants and invite them to join the effort. Take their contact information and follow up later.
- Find out how to obtain designation: Contact your Main Street coordinating program to find out about the application process to become an Affiliate Main Street America™ organization.
- Network with successful programs: Invite an executive director or board president from another Main Street America community to talk with your working group or community about their accomplishments and answer questions about how the program works. Their enthusiasm, stories, and pictures will make a strong argument for a preservation-based revitalization program. Facilitate discussions among your stakeholders and those already involved with other Main Street programs. This type of dialog is invaluable, especially for members of the working group. Get mayors, business owners, and economic development staff talking.
- Spread the word: Ask the local newspaper(s) and bloggers to run a story about the commercial district revitalization initiative. Position a member of the working group as a guest on the local radio station to explain how the community can start a program. Set up social media: Facebook, Twitter, etc for your initiative.
If you decide to launch a Main Street program, here are the next steps:
- Apply to become an Affiliate, if applicable: Complete and file an application to become a Main Street America Affiliate program through your Main Street coordinating program. Attend an application workshop, if available. If you are not able to join a coordinating program, you can self initiate a Main Street program. However, please remember that you cannot use the name "Main Street" in your organization name without permission from the National Main Street Center. Read our Name Use Policy for more details.
- Get informed: Get a copy of the Main Street Board Members Handbook to learn about starting a Main Street program. The handbook discusses options for an organizational model, along with other details, such as the financial costs of running a Main Street program. Another helpful book is the Center's basic manual, Revitalizing Main Street, which offers a detailed explanation of how the Main Street approach works.
- Incorporate the organization: Determine which organizational model will work best. If you plan to incorporate as a nonprofit organization, get an application from the IRS website (www.irs.gov) to obtain tax-exempt status. If you decide on another organizational model, contact the appropriate city agency or organization to begin discussions. Work with an attorney, if possible, to write by-laws and articles of incorporation and file them with the appropriate state agency. Sample by-laws can be found in this website's Resources section. Contact your city about regulations, business licenses, and/or any fees. Select an address or set up a post office box for mail deliveries, and choose a contact person for phone communications.
- Recruit board members and develop committees: Learn more about structuring a Main Street program's board and committees in the Main Street Board Members Handbook. Recruit board members from your working group or elsewhere to lead the organization, and draw upon enthusiastic individuals from your community meetings to serve on committees. Establish board and committee roles, including board president, officers, and committee chairs.
- Visit another community: With your board and committee members or working group, take a field trip to other downtowns or commercial districts to meet with peers, hear about lessons learned, and see how your commercial district compares.
- Tap into the Network: Join the National Main Street Network, which will bring you our weekly e-newsletter, Main Street Weekly, full of news and ideas; access to the member-only Solution Center; and the Main Street List Serve, a forum for discussion among revitalization peers.
- Draft a budget: Draw up a budget that corresponds with your plans. Decide if you can afford to hire a program director, or more importantly, if you can afford not to. Read about staff, budget structures, and potential funding sources in the Main Street Board Members Handbook and Revitalizing Main Street. Look at sample budgets from other Main Street communities with the same size population in our online Resources section. Talk with other community entities about financial support.
- Develop job descriptions for board members, officers, committee chairs, committee members, and staff. Descriptions can be found in the Main Street Board Members Handbook and Committee Member Handbooks (Design, Promotion, Economic Vitality, and Organization). Other Main Street organizations can also provide examples.
- Train and inform participants: Educate your board and committee members. Use slide shows or PowerPoint presentations. Distribute copies of the Center's Committee Member Handbooks. Tour the neighborhood with all board and committee members to inspect the district and get to know it well.
- Develop a fund-raising plan: Draw up a plan outlining financial support for the program. Remember those stakeholders you contacted early on in the process? Now you will need to work with them as potential supporters. Funds should come from a diverse range of sources, not just one entity, to ensure financial security. Sources include local government, large and small businesses, membership programs, fund raising, community groups, earned income, corporate sponsors, and foundation donations.
- Develop a work plan that includes a vision for the district, a mission statement, and a set of goals, both long and short term. Don't overwhelm your first year's work plan with too many projects; prioritize your activities by choosing projects that are easy to accomplish as well as those that can have visible impact while you are building capacity. More information on how and why to do work planning can be found in the Main Street Board Members Handbook as well as Revitalizing Main Street.
- Schedule regular meetings with board members and committees, as well as with stakeholders and partners.
- Recruit volunteers for key projects, events, and activities; create a volunteer file and develop a volunteer recognition system.
- Promote the program: Use a variety of public relations tools, including social media, brochures, newsletters, article placement, and website to get the word out. Develop a media list for press releases.
- Take inventory of what you have: Identify economic development and historic preservation resources in your community. Inventory the district's buildings, businesses, parking, etc., including photos.
- Collect information: Begin to build your own clearinghouse of resource materials by collecting website addresses, articles, books, presentations, sample documents, and samples of marketing materials. What you don't use now you eventually will. Join and use the Main Street List Serve, (a benefit of National Main Street Center Membership), to connect with other Main Street program directors, board members, and volunteers and learn about their challenges and solutions. Use this website's Resources section to research sample documents and past articles from Main Street News to build your files. Identify existing events and collect information on past promotional activities. Collect and review any studies, market analysis, or master plans that have been done.

I think Ej and Nicole have a lot of potential, I don't think they are finished though. I do think that with time and a bit of reflection Ej will realize what Nicole did and how it in fact helped him know his daughter, raise her for the first 6 months and she was able to connect with him. While Sami was convinced on keeping her from him at every expense. I really believe when Ej realizes that Brady loves Nicole, he'll be mad and jealous. I liked Nicole with Ej because she was as bad as he was....and she accepted him for who he is without wanting him to change on her account. Nicole was the perfect mob wife, devoted to her husband.
If you ask me....I still think this is all going to be a bad nightmare that Nicole will wake up from when AZ comes back from maternity leave. Notice how this entire story has been all about Nicole's feelings, how she miscarried, how she felt after and why she did the switch...how we haven't seen Sydney bond with Sami...isn't that weird? Why not keep the kid around after Sami found out she was her daughter...keep her around for the holidays and then let Nicole take her the week after xmas....no...why? I think when AZ gets back we will see a scene with Nicole waking up in bed...the camera pans over and we see Sydney in her playpen and Ej hovering her....Nicole then tells Ej she just had the worse dream.....that she did all these awful things...and Ej comes in for a kiss and tells her..."ah..you would never do that".....we later learn that Grace was Sami's child and she did die of meningitis...and Mia gave Baker her kid and he sold it in the blackmarket.....baby switch done...enter the new storyline Brady/Arianna/EJ/Nicole....in her dream Nicole did admit to loving Brady and Brady to loving her...this has just been too weird...to anti-climatic and frankly not about EJ and Sami's baby at all but about Nicole's feelings, wants and needs.....

Alec Baldwin's Plastic-Surgery Plans; Tina Turnbow to Design Makeup for Tarte
Plus, celebrity scents are "the single best tool for monetizing celebrity that's ever been created in the history of the world."
• Alec Baldwin on plastic surgery: "I'm not saying I wouldn't do something! I intend to do something. I probably will. Let's put it this way: I wouldn't rule it out because ... You don't think I wake up every day and wish I looked like this and this and this? But I can't let that bother me." [Us]
• Perfume critic Chandler Burr on celebrity fragrances: "It is the single best tool for monetizing celebrity that's ever been created in the history of the world. It is a kind of financial alchemy the likes of which we've never seen." [NPR]
• Professional perfumer Lynn Harris, 41, trained her brain to recognize 1,000 smells. During school, she suffered migraines from sniffing too much, and now she can no longer cook with garlic or eat Indian food because the scents are too strong for her delicate olfactory glands. [Independent UK]

The Washington Redskins were condemned to their sixth loss of the season by a shocking second-half collapse against the Minnesota Vikings.
A lack of discipline and schematic failures on both sides of the ball saw the Redskins contrive to give the game away. The prime takeaway from the game has to be the mess at the team's coaching level.
Head coach Mike Shanahan and his coordinators should expect strict scrutiny following this collapse. The only positives were provided by a trio of offensive playmakers who continue to dominate.

I can recall Spin Williams, the Pirates' erstwhile pitching coach, once telling me his job depended almost entirely on whether he would – or wouldn't – be able to solve Oliver Perez.
Remember Perez?
The lanky Mexican lefty rang up 239 strikeouts in 2004 while routinely throwing 98 mph. But soon, mysteriously or not, the velocity fell. As did the numbers. And, just as Spin called it, he was canned in late 2005.
An assistant coach in any sport is a specialist by trade and, as such, can become the singular point man charged with squeezing the most out of athletes whose potential greatly dwarfs their performance.
This is Gregg Ritchie's world now, too.
If you don't know Ritchie, you should. He's the Pirates' hitting coach, overseeing the worst offense we've seen in years – let that context soak in – through this 8-10 start.
How bad?
• The Pirates are batting a collective .211. For you 19th century history buffs, that's 19 points below the franchise low of .230 in 1890.
• They've scored 41 runs. The A's are a distant next-to-last in the majors at 59.
• They homer every 64 at-bats, matching Kevin Polcovich's rate in 1997.
• Neil Walker doesn't have an extra-base hit. He bats cleanup.
• No one's bothered to issue them an intentional walk.
I could do this all day.
This is Ritchie's world, just as it's Clint Hurdle's. The Pirates' manager previously was the hitting coach of a loaded lineup in Texas. Both men work with the Pirates' hitters, but neither has gotten much out of them. Not this year, not last year.
Quick, name one hitter on the 2011 roster who even improved.
"Obviously, we're better than we've shown," Ritchie said in a talk we had during the Colorado series this week. "As Clint's said, it's a matter of coming up with the big hit at the right time, letting yourselves breathe and not forcing the issue."
That's pretty much the Pirates' stance on this start: They opened against a string of Cy Youngs, lost confidence and are now clawing to get it back.
To an extent, I'll buy it. You won't see six of the 13 position players bat .200 or lower all year. And Walker won't stay at .224.
But I'll also repeat what I've been saying for a long time now: Everything changes with an as-advertised version of Alvarez in the heart of the order.
Along with his own output, the benefits include protection for Andrew McCutchen, Walker dropping to fifth and others falling into places that make sense.
"I wouldn't dispute any of that," Ritchie said. "But I also wouldn't doubt that Pedro has the talent and work ethic to make that happen. We're starting to see signs of it now."
Indeed, Alvarez is 5 for his past 15, with a bomb in both games of the doubleheader Wednesday. For a guy still stuck at .156, it's a start.
It's certainly a lot more encouraging than the piece in the new Baseball America that asks if Alvarez could become "the biggest waste of hitting talent in draft history." It quotes scouts suggesting he's already a bust, after all of 627 at-bats.
"Oh, absolutely not," Ritchie said, laughing. "It's still a small window we're looking at, way early to be making a judgment like that. The capability's there. Look, we see it every day."
The exasperation and exhilaration that accompanies Alvarez's swings at the plate and in general performance – yes, among fans, too — was on full display in the 48-hour set with the Rockies.
Tuesday afternoon, Ritchie reinforced a recent point of emphasis for Alvarez to stroke the ball the other way and, in the process, envision right-center as his new foul line.
"It forces Pedro to stay back on the ball," Ritchie explained.
Alvarez took it into batting practice in a big way.
"Two balls off the monster," Ritchie said, referring to PNC Park's tall batter's eye beyond center field. "It was amazing."
Alvarez was shielded from a lefty again that night, and he opened Wednesday with one of those grotesquely passive three-pitch whiffs.
But his next at-bat saw a lasered out to deep left. Other way. Looked good.
The next saw a tying blast into the right-center seats. His revised foul pole.
And Game 2 saw him clang one off the real right foul pole. Because foul is the new fair.
"It's all there," Ritchie said. "It's just transferring it to the game. It's trust."
Can we trust that this week's version is the real Pedro?
Ritchie had better hope so. This could be his Oliver Perez.

Here are 21 reasons why I write. There is a very large picture of me on the page, which I do not like, because I do not like pictures of me, in addition to not liking compliments (see #17), but maybe I should say what I like. I like that Stymie Magazine invited me to make this list. I like the bio, especially the part where I say I was never nominated for a Pushcart. If I were nominated, it would not be in my bio. I have been nominated for things and been a finalist or runner up and other things. I won one writing thing I can think of. And that's not in my bio. If I win a Pushcart, I will include it in my bio. I promise.
Some people said some nice things about Shut Up/Look Pretty. I will link them here and you can read them if you want. Some other people said some mixed things about Shut Up/Look Pretty I will not link those here, though Googling is your prerogative. Some people like the book. Nobody hates it as far as I know. One day, I will have my own book and I will know what people think. Meanwhile, here are some links:
Dennis Cooper
Specter Magazine
People You Know By Heart
This Blog Will Change Your Life
Even though I am not good with compliments, I am grateful. I will never stop being amazed that people read things I write. I don't ever want to stop being amazed. I feel every single thing I write. I don't always want to, but I can't help it. It's just how it is and maybe it makes me the writer I am or the person I am or the chicken or the egg or who cares what made what because it is right up there with the very best things in my life. I say things like that. I am so not cool. I never will be.
I've been eating a lot of cucumbers lately. I love the smell of cucumbers. They taste good, too. I bought two pairs of shoes today. They are both way cute.
That shoe on the right makes my foot look huge. It's not. Here's a weird thing about me. As I have gotten older, my feet have shrunk. There are other weird things, but I need to go to sleep now. I'll tell you some more next time. I'll try not to stay away so long.

Optimism season starting up
The anti-backlash is starting, as a number of writers, bloggers, and fans are making the case for optimism about the Angels' season.
Did anyone really think the Angel offense in 2002 was going to be any good after they plated just 691 runs the previous season? No, especially since their only real addition was DH Brad Fullmer. Sure enough, the 2002 Halos found a way to take the same personnel and become a top offense the next year and win their lone World Series. Could lightning really strike twice with the 2010 Angels scoring an eerily similar 681 runs? Probably not, but at least we know there is a chance and until I see what happens on the field this season, I am going to go on believing that the Halo hitters can conjure up a similar turnaround.
Last year's slow start had a lot to do with the bullpen. Shields, Stokes and Fuentes blew a lot of leads and games early. They're gone. Looking at baseball-reference, if you replace 120 innings of Shields, Stokes, Rodriguez, etc. with Downs and Takahashi's innings, we save around 50 runs and some demoralizing late losses.
Argument Plank No. 3, which probably should have been No. 1: pitching. Let's not forget which city last held a World Series parade. The San Francisco Giants opened last season with Aubrey Huff as their cleanup batter, the same dude who had batted .241 and got traded -- after the trading deadline -- from the Baltimore Orioles to the Detroit Tigers the previous August.
The Giants' front office made some shrewd tweaks to the offense as the season went on, but it mostly sat back and relied on stifling pitching and a bad division. Hello, Angels blueprint!
Here's my contribution: I'd think it's more likely that the Angels' lineup somehow outperforms the Rangers' lineup, than that the Rangers' rotation somehow outperforms the Angels' rotation. Half the game right there.
(Well, not technically half. I'd take the Rangers' bullpen. And the Rangers' defense. But shut up, facts.)

Currently: 48° — Complete forecast
Stuart Leavenworth / MCT
China has a big appetite, and lately it hasn't been buying only food from U.S. farms, it's also been buying those farms. One of the largest is in northeast Utah, where a pair of Chinese businessman have purchased a 22,000-acre alfalfa ranch, where hay is grown for export to China's booming dairy industry.

Brock Lesnar vs. Alistair Overeem is being billed as the biggest fight of 2011. And, if you want to get technical about it, Brock and 'Reem did weigh in at a combined 529 pounds. Very big indeed.
This match up is compelling for so many reasons and there are plenty of tid bits to consider when breaking down this fight and wanting to know about these two enigmatic big men.
So lets see how many relevant things 'you need to know" that we can conjure up and be sure to call us out on anything we left off the list.

FKTN gene
The FKTN gene (formerly known as FCMD) provides instructions for making a protein called fukutin. This protein is present in many of the body's tissues but is particularly abundant in muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles), the heart, and the brain.
Although the exact function of fukutin is unclear, researchers predict that it may chemically modify a protein called alpha (α)-dystroglycan. Specifically, fukutin is thought to add chains of sugar molecules to α-dystroglycan through a process known as glycosylation. Glycosylation is critical for the normal function of α-dystroglycan.
The α-dystroglycan protein helps anchor the structural framework inside each cell (cytoskeleton) to the lattice of proteins and other molecules outside the cell (extracellular matrix). In skeletal muscles, glycosylated α-dystroglycan helps stabilize and protect muscle fibers. In the brain, it helps direct the movement (migration) of nerve cells (neurons) during early development.
Mutations in the FKTN gene cause Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy, a condition that causes muscle weakness and brain and eye abnormalities. This form of congenital muscular dystrophy is seen almost exclusively in Japan. Virtually everyone with this condition has at least one copy of the same mutation, an insertion of about 3,000 extra DNA building blocks (3 kilobases) in the FKTN gene. This insertion occurs in a part of the gene known as the 3' untranslated region, which helps regulate the gene's activity. Researchers believe that the three-kilobase insertion reduces the amount of fukutin protein that is produced from the gene.
A shortage of fukutin likely prevents the normal glycosylation of α-dystroglycan. As a result, α-dystroglycan can no longer effectively anchor cells to the proteins and other molecules that surround them. Without functional α-dystroglycan to stabilize muscle cells, muscle fibers become damaged as they repeatedly contract and relax with use. The damaged fibers weaken and die over time, which affects the development, structure, and function of skeletal muscles in people with Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy.
Defective α-dystroglycan also affects the migration of neurons during the early development of the brain. Instead of stopping when they reach their intended destinations, some neurons migrate past the surface of the brain into the fluid-filled space that surrounds it. Researchers believe that this problem with neuronal migration causes a brain abnormality called cobblestone lissencephaly, in which the surface of the brain lacks the normal folds and grooves and instead appears bumpy and irregular. Less is known about the effects of FKTN mutations in other parts of the body.
Genetics Home Reference provides information about limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.
FKTN gene mutations have been identified in a small number of people with Walker-Warburg syndrome, the most severe form of congenital muscular dystrophy. This condition is found in populations worldwide. Like Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy, Walker-Warburg syndrome is associated with muscle weakness and eye and brain abnormalities, including cobblestone lissencephaly; however, individuals with Walker-Warburg syndrome have more severe eye abnormalities and live only into infancy or early childhood. The FKTN gene mutations associated with this condition prevent the production of any functional fukutin protein, which leads to the severe muscle, eye, and brain problems associated with it.
Mutations in the FKTN gene cause other disorders that affect skeletal muscles and the heart. Unlike Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy, which is mostly limited to the Japanese population, these conditions have been described in several populations worldwide.
Mutations in the FKTN gene have been found in a few families with a less severe form of muscular dystrophy known as limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2M (LGMD2M). This condition causes muscle weakness but does not affect the brain.
Several people with a heart condition called dilated cardiomyopathy have been found to have mutations in the FKTN gene. This condition weakens and enlarges the heart, preventing it from pumping blood efficiently. When dilated cardiomyopathy is associated with FKTN gene mutations, it is known as type 1X (DCM1X). In addition to heart problems, some people with DCM1X have experienced mild muscle weakness beginning in adulthood.
Changes in the FKTN gene that reduce but do not eliminate the production of fukutin lead to the somewhat less severe medical problems seen in LGMD2M and DCM1X.

Hamas seeking a 'United Resistance' without Syria, against "Israel"
Informed Palestinian sourses in Damascus told Syria Truth, Mahmoud Zahar to Tehran aims to clarify Gaza's group. Zahar, before visting Tehran met with leaders of Hezbollah to address the issue of "Hamas cell".
Zahar told those involved in Hezbollah and Tehran that "Hamas" is now in fact "Hamasan", (Divided into two Hamas) one linked to resistance, and other overseas Hamas linked to Global Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi and the Qatari government, represented by Khaled Meshaal and Mousa Abu Marzouk. The othe "Hamas" concern is oil, gas and real estate prices in the global and Amman stock markets more than anything else.
Abu Ammar, who like many Fateh historic leaders was a former Muslim brother, tried to dip his bread in the dish Syria, besides the ideological motivation to stand by the Muslim Brotherhood in their battle against Hafez al-Assad, the political motivation was not less clear. Abu Ammar wanted to embarrass Sadat and "Camp David, but as a broker, and his best available entrance was
For weapon, he had assumed his command Brigadier "Abu Taan" (Mustafa Dib Khalil), leader of the "Palestinians armed struggle force" in Lebanon, who built his "land bridge" to supply "Islamic fighting gangs" with weapons across the Syrian-Lebanese border.
"Abu Taan", besides smuggling of weapons to "Iblishood", but sent fighters to support "the Islamic Tawheed Movement" in Tripoli (Sheikh Saeed Shaaban group), which was fighting the Syrian army, and ended up participating in the slaughter of dozens of militants of the Lebanese Communist Party … "infidels"!!.
Why not? The Iblishood gun is for rent since founded in the bosom of British intelligence, and "the Suez Canal Company" in the twenties of the last century?
More here in Arabic
"The contradiction with the Islamic resistance factions in Gaza is not due to their ideological, religious, or intellectual affiliation. It is, however, due to the program of the resistance."
"Yes, our leaders have some differences on the conflict in Syria. Someone is distancing himself from Bashar Assad, others seek closer ties with the Gulf monarchies. But these nuances won`t prevent us from creating 'single forces of Islamic resistance'."
"The U.S. Department of the Treasury imposed on Thursday sanctions against Hizbullah's leadership in Lebanon, further exposing Hizbullah's active support to the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, as well as its role in terrorist activities. 'Hassan Nasrallah, Hizbullah's secretary general, is being designated today pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13582, for providing support to the Syrian government,' said the Treasury in a statement. 'By aiding Assad's violent campaign against the Syrian people and working to support a regime that will inevitably fall, Hizbullah's ongoing activity undermines regional stability and poses a direct threat to Lebanon's security".

Ah well, too bad Cameron. You just got the worst form of alimony you could ever get. The bitch kicked your ass but good.
I never saw the Hurt Locker, but that dude that's in it….what's his face? Who the hell is that guy and why hasn't he made a sex tape before? He's scrumptious. Kinda old, not really, sorta, but hot. Not in a George Clooney kind of way either cuz I find him repulsive. Sorry. Arrogance is so ugly.
So yeah, back to what I was getting at – Hurt Locker won best director. What's her name again? Oh right, no one remembers. That's probably how it will stay too. Yes, she was the first woman to win this award and whoopie for that. The world is really progressing these days, isn't it? I mean, what will be next…..a woman president?
HAHAHHAHAHAHA! Right. I'm not a huge feminist, but girls deserve a shot at stuff. I'm pro-female but not to the point where I walk the streets with posters, never shave my armpits, cut my hair short and call myself Pat.
Maybe we just need to freak men out a bit more?
There should be a mandatory day of the month where men are forced to go to the store and buy a box of tampons. Ooooo they should be kept behind the counter too so they have to actually verbally ask for them and say the word "May I have a few boxes of tampons please? Gimme a super and a lights box." That would be so amazing. I never ask boys to buy me that but one time I did. He didn't speak to me for the rest of the night while he sat in his boxers playing the bloodiest video game he had while smoking a cigar and bbq'ing. They should have showered the oscar crowd with tampons. That would have been splendid.
Yay Hot Hurt Locker guy!
