Laser liposuction treatment for men focuses on providing a more toned and rippled physique for men who want to look manlier. Laser liposuction is a great option to reduce oversized breasts, remove abdominal fat and provide a cool six pack look, to correct a double chin, and for overall body contouring. The procedure successfully removes excess fat that does not respond to diet and exercise programs. There are reputable plastic surgery centers in the U.S where cutting-edge laser liposuction treatment is offered for men to ensure aesthetically attractive, natural-looking results. SmartLipo Triplex is the advanced device employed for liposuction, which utilizes laser energy of 3 wavelengths. This device with high-definition sculpting capabilities ensure effective laser lipolysis and fitness results.
Experienced and skilled plastic surgeons perform the liposuction surgery with complete focus on the aesthetic goals of their patients. With SmartLipo body contouring, they strive to create results closest to their patients' expectations and thereby boosting their self-esteem and confidence.

Why Opt for SmartLipo Laser Lipo?
Laser Liposuction using SmartLipo is a minimally invasive one and requires only local anesthesia. It is safe and practically painless. Without the risks associated with general anesthesia, patients are more at ease and can have a pleasant experience. Plastic surgeons can use this device to remove fat from body sites where treatment was difficult with the help of conventional techniques of liposuction. The procedure doesn't take more than an hour. Around 1000cc of fat can be disrupted and removed. It is FDA approved and features the SmartSense, ThermaGuide and ThermaView systems to ensure maximum safety to patients. Scarring, swelling and bleeding are minimized. Recovery is faster and easier as compared to other procedures. Other benefits of this procedure are:
>> Fat will not reappear in the areas where liposuction surgery is performed
>> Uniform contouring
>> Short downtime
>> Customized treatment

The Perfect Time to Focus on Professional Networking
One of the newest professional networking platforms getting a lot of attention is GoBuzz.Me. Unlike all of the other social and professional networking sites.
Others, however, prefer to stay in the workforce and have no desire to go back to school. One of the only ways for these individuals to advance their careers during an economic downturn is to leverage their personal and professional contacts. When companies are tightening their belts, limiting or cutting recruiting altogether, job applicants will be running around with few options of where to go. In order to maximize the chances of being hired amidst intensifying competition, job seekers must make use of all vantage points. The only problem is professionals'
One of the newest professional networking platforms getting a lot of attention is GoBuzz.Me. Unlike all of the other social and professional networking sites, GoBuzz.Me distinguishes personal entities from those of businesses, allowing users to create distinct profiles for each. Along the same lines, users can write recommendations for their contacts (either a business or an individual) on behalf of a business or themselves. This dynamic exchange allows for a truer and richer networking experience and multiplies the number of opportunities to make additional contacts and add value to a professional network. Once the profiles are created, users can browse all other users' public profiles (business and personal) through an aesthetic and user-friendly interface, post and search for jobs in any geographic area, publicize or search for events of any nature, create or join groups in order to share interests and connect with others and upload or watch videos of all types.
While some of these features already exist on other websites, GoBuzz.Me is unique in that it offers tools and services that allow users to promote themselves and their businesses. As an individual, your credibility and reputation will be built by the recommendations that others write for you and the work experience that you publicize on your profile. Then you can present yourself to all other users on the site through a number of mediums – thematic groups and discussions, live and face-to-face events in your area, and promotional or informational videos. As a business, you can publish press releases to inform the public of product launches, key business development headlines and other hot news; you can post video advertisements and customize marketing campaigns; and you can recruit business resources and create new opportunities by pursuing leads.

Chicago's culinary scene goes way beyond deep-dish pizza, although that treat is certainly worth trying. A lesser-known favorite here is the Chicago-style hot dog, an all-beef, boiled dog eaten with mustard, sweet relish, onions, hot peppers, a pickle and tomato on a poppy seed bun. Chicago claims the title of candy capital as home to the Tootsie Roll and Fannie May Candies. And let's not forget its status as headquarters for the number one restaurant company in the U.S. -- McDonald's.
Pizzeria Uno, the king of deep-dish pizza, is where it all began in 1943. Visit the original venue at 29 E. Ohio Street, or, if it's busy, try sister venue Pizzeria Due at 619 N. Wabash Avenue (which has the same food in a larger space). Be aware that it takes about 45 minutes to prepare a deep-dish pie. To qualify as deep-dish, the crust has to be an inch or more thick and piled high with cheese and tomato sauce and your choice of extras -- we usually go for the sausage, onion and peppers. Chicagoans also like the pies at Gino's East, the newer kid on the block with only 50 years in the biz.
It's worth a cab ride from downtown to Greektown, where we make a beeline to The Parthenon, opened in 1968. The place serves excellent garlicky moussaka and other Greek favorites including saganaki cheese flamed with brandy (the waiters dramatically light the cheese and shout "Opa!"). Portions are huge.
Meat lovers flock to the original Morton's of Chicago, opened in 1978, where the ambience is club-like and the USDA prime aged steaks are huge. There's seafood here too, like Alaskan king crab legs and jumbo lump crab cakes. Sides include creamed spinach (our favorite).
Da Bears and da pork chops are the main attractions at Mike Ditka's. The coach's NFL Coach of the Year trophy is on display along with other sports memorabilia. While TVs show sporting events, the food is better than the usual sports bar fare; think steaks, salads and seafood (the latter comes from sustainable and environmentally friendly sources). Da coach occasionally makes an appearance.
Good food and a convenient location near Millennium Park make Tavern at the Park worth a visit. (On sunny days, try to snag a table on the outdoor patio.) Portions are generous -- the fig and prosciutto flatbread appetizer easily feeds two -- and specialties include burgers, steaks, risotto, and mac and cheese.
If you're looking not just for a meal but also for an experience, head to Alinea, which has earned three Michelin stars. Recently renoved and reopened, this Lincoln Park restaurant offers course after course of creative, impeccably plated international dishes.
Girl & the Goat draws rave reviews for its delicious small plates, ranging from goat empanadas to grilled baby octopus (with plenty of vegetarian offerings too).
Sick of continental breakfast at your hotel? Start your morning at Yolk instead. The wide-ranging menu boasts traditional options (eggs Benedict, Belgian waffles), healthy fare (the "kale scrambler") and sweet delights (Nutella crepes, cinnamon roll French toast).

River: Crazy HorsesMature
I could still see Gabriel looking at something. I wasn't completely sure what it was but it clearly fascinated him.
"Something doesn't feel quite right." I mumbled under my breath. "I bet you've already figured it out, haven't you sweetie?" I knew it was silly but I hoped he could hear me, even if he was nodding and laughing at me being silly and missing something obvious.
I looked around for clues. My eyes were drawn to a horse-drawn carriage that was racing down a nearby road.
"Hey. Do you want to go investigate?"
He looked up at me with excitement. "What about...?"
"We don't need him!" I looked into the sky as I spoke, winking. "We'll make a great team, won't we? It'll be great fun!"
For a moment he was unsure but I put on my widest grin and bundled him up into a hug. "We'll be home soon." I whispered to him. He broke off the embrace and grinned. "Now that's the attitude! Which way would you like to go?"
I kept my eye on that carriage - it was still there. "That way!" he shouted and began to run in the direction that I had been hoping he'd go in. I followed him as fast as I could and smiled to myself when he stopped to take a closer look at the horses. There was a man stood with them. He looked as if he was stroking them but they didn't look real.
They looked like robots.
"Hello beautiful." The man said in my direction. I pretended to blush and returned a less flirtatious greeting.
"What lovely horses you have." I said, starting to examine the nearest one.
"You want?" He looked at me directly, reluctant to break eye contact. "You want one?"
I hesitated. I was sure that these things were key to it all but didn't think there was any way of getting it off him. "But I don't have any money."
He looked around suspiciously before pulling it away from the others. "It is broken. Barely works. Have it."
He thrust it into my hand before I could say anything else and was leaving. "Wait!" I yelled but he was gone.
"Hello," Gabriel said. It took me a minute to realise that it had been aimed at the horse, not me. The horse slowly moved its head to look at him. Gabriel smiled widely. "Can we keep him?"
I smiled. "I don't see why not."
I was examining the controls on the horse as Gabriel played with it. I thought I had figured out how it worked so I picked Gabriel up and placed him on the horse's back. Then I climbed on behind him and smiled.
"Fancy a little ride?" I asked. He nodded enthusiastically so I set the horse into motion. It was fine to begin with but then it started to veer off to the right more than I told it to and soon we were careering through the city on a wild robotic animal. Gabriel screamed in delight, thinking it was all part of the ride.
But I looked ahead and panicked. If I didn't get this horse under control pretty soon, we were going to get seriously hurt either jumping free from the thing or crashing into the solid wall that was fast approaching us.

King and the CouncilMature
Ruby's eyes flashed at the word, and the sapphire blue within them burned with an infuriated irritation. The young woman scanned the princesses up and down, and already she had a severe natural distaste for the royal maiden.
"Mistress?!" then her scorning glance darted quickly toward Cole, who was still utterly stunned at the sudden interruption. "Well, Cole?"
"Uh - well...she's not really my mistress." The young man's words were tottering upon his tongue, and his voice trembled even more so when his dumbfounded gaze met with the flaring hue of his companion's eyes.
"Perhaps she is your queen then, my liege?" The princess suddenly displayed a disheartened look, and her pouty eyes batted at Cole momentarily, then she said to Ruby with a temperamental tone "Queen or not, it is unbecoming of any servant of this kingdom to refer to the king without designating him a proper royal title."
"She's not my queen, either!" Cole blurted out instantly, although he saw his answer effected his friend after it was stated, in a way he could not guess. Ruby was firmly gripping the ancient tome, and when Cole spoke her knuckles flushed with a brightened pallor as she tightly grasped the manuscript even more so.
"Oh?" The response revived the princess' spirit, and all at once she clasped both of her hands around one of Cole's, then the pair crossed the chamber toward the door which remained ajar. "Please my king, allow me to escort you-"
"And just where do you think you are going?" Ruby raised her voice, and the pitch halted Cole's tracks to a deadened stop. His companion was gazing at him; her eyes were no longer fueled with fiery annoyance, but instead they were flooded with a pleading look as if the young woman was afraid to be forsaken by, or separated from, her childhood friend. Given the circumstances, Cole felt as if he were being stretched in several different directions within the same moment.
The princess was quick to retort Ruby, and the royal maiden said with a snap in her tone "Many nights and countless moons have passed since the prophecy came to be, and the kingdom of Avelen has patiently awaited the arrival of their star born king for far too long. We cannot afford to remain idle; the fate of Avelen is suffering at the hands of a wicked foe, and a strange darkness swallows the kingdom more and more with each fleeting hour. The Council of Sages is gathering as speak, and the king's presence is required at the assembly. It will be there that we shall decide, with your kingly discretion of course, the proper plan of strategy to combat the scourge of Avelen."
"Well I'm coming too!" Ruby began to work her body off the comfortable bedding, though it was a feat more difficult than she had imagined, and she briefly struggled around in a comic fashion.
"The king has declared that you are neither his queen, nor his personal interest." The princess deliberately rephrased the title of mistress in order to coax the young woman's annoyance to a greater extreme. "Since you are not a sage, and obviously not royalty - you are not permitted within the chamber while the deliberation commences."
"But I am Cole's friend." Ruby debated with the princess, and her eyes fell pleadingly toward her companion once again.
"That's right, she is my friend." Cole nodded with confident affirmation, and he hoped to lift Ruby's spirits while regaining an equally favorable disposition in the minds of both of the women.
This did not appease the princess, and she continued on with her dispute saying "Friends are not allowed at the gathering, either. I would advise you to stay put, and the king shall return to you after the deliberation closes."
Ruby had a natural talent for being quick-witted, and the word that the royal maiden had sharply stressed gave Cole's companion a keen idea. "I am also his advisor." She presented the ancient tome, but she retained her immovable grip upon what was considered the only way back home.
The princess curiously glanced at Cole, and he could see the sense of hope in pacifying the arguing women swiftly dwindle. His thoughts traced back to the memories shared between the childhood friends, and he vividly recalled all of the advisement Ruby proposed to him time and again. She relentlessly encouraged Cole, and always she was quick to lecture him on proper and logical conduct.
"I s`pose she has given me some sound advice in the past, although she would agree I'm not the best recipient." He said to the royal maiden, and her face slightly fell into a disappointed frown while the pair of companions joined each other in reminiscent laughter; which was none too inviting for third parties.
"Very well, I shall arrange for a tailor-maiden to visit you shortly. If you are to attend the deliberation, you shan't be dressed in such an unsightly costume." The princess sneered at Ruby, then her attention fell affectionately onto Cole. "My king, I will personally escort you to more private accommodations. If you are to lead Avelen, you must dawn the kingdom's royal garments. This way!"
Before Cole could utter a word of protest, the princess forcibly yanked him into the corridor outside the chamber, and she turned to grasp the handle of the opened door. Without uttering a single word more to Ruby, the royal maiden curtsied to the young woman and nodded with a scoffing "Hmph," as she shut the wooden door; the lock clicked, and the sound of footsteps grew faint before altogether ceasing.
Later on, Ruby was accompanied by two of the castle's servants to the room where the Council of Sages had assembled. The décor and ambience of the chamber boasted the intrinsic and impeccable craftsmanship of Avelen's royal masonry; towering pillars raised up from the marble floor to lift the elaborately decorated ceiling of painted frescos, and upon each pillar were glowing torches that were lit with a magical, burning green flame. The assembly was gathered around a large, wooden table which was constructed into a circular shape. Judging by their grim expressions and laconic demeanor, they had already been debating for quite a while before Ruby had arrived. Candelabra's that illuminated cerulean lights revealed weathered and worn maps, as well as piles of countless manuscripts, which spread across the table's surface in a mountain of clutter.
Among the assemblage of Sages was Duphan the Noble, Arnin the Red, Teirgon the Seer, Yvelle, as well as the five enchanters and the Elder. They were presently slouching in chairs that rivaled royal thrones, and those among the council who had beards were stroking theirs; all of them had contemplative expressions, until Ruby approached the table, then their eyes reflected looks of astonishment. As she crossed the chamber, Cole became relieved to be reunited with his companion, and the princess grew irate when she had noticed that the young woman remained wearing her modern clothing; copper colored boots and all.
"Ruby, I'm glad you're here! I've been trapped at this discussion for so long, I think my head is spinning." Cole clutched at his hair which revealed the scar upon his cheek, then he continued on, "I don't understand any of this, but I think you might be able to. They're speaking like the characters in those stories you would read me."
While the childhood friends were reacquainting with one another as the sages stared on in bewilderment, the princess had noticed that one of the castle servants remained inside the chamber. The royal maiden politely spoke in a whisper "You are dismissed," and she began shooing him off by daintily waving her hands.
The servant continued his path in the direction of the Council, and he hastened upon the pair of companions. Ruby glanced up from Cole's gaze, and she jostled from a sudden surprise; the man brandished a blade from a sleeve of his garments, then he held the blade aloft. The weapon gleamed from the illumination of the dancing lights, and the castle servant revealed himself to be an assassin as he cried aloud "Die wretched star born imposter - faith in the Overlord!"

The group, headed by chief executive Richard Baker, had already said it would cut the 3,000-strong Nottingham headquarters staff to 2,100 by late summer.
But a company spokesman said: 'We have been quite open in telling people that this is not the end. We will always be looking to modernise, and there are bound to be more posts that go.' He would not speculate about the scale of further cuts.
Boots believes it will be able to trim its workforce when it finishes standardising its computer systems. There are several different systems running in parallel, which causes problems exchanging information between different areas of the organisation.
Boots has long been recognised as having one of the most generously staffed head offices of any retailer.
After the latest cuts are completed, there will be one worker for every £2.5 million of turnover - about the same level as Marks & Spencer.
Tesco's head office staff of 5,000 achieves a figure of more than £5 million per employee, while Sainsbury's figure is £4.4 million a head, not counting its US staff. But the most striking achievement is by Bradfordbased supermarket group Wm Morrison, now in the throes of taking over Safeway. It has a head office complement of only 425 people.
DIY group B&Q is axing 150 junior managers in a cost-cutting drive that staff believe is part of a plan to groom the company for sale.
B&Q, owned by Kingfisher, is cutting the jobs among supervisors who earn £8 an hour, compared with £5 an hour paid to shop floor staff.

Willie Nelson pot plea still not hashed out
By Elliott Blackburn
LUBBOCK, Texas (Reuters) - Time's slipping away on a deal for iconic U.S. country singer Willie Nelson's misdemeanor drug charge.
County Judge Becky Dean-Walker said on Friday she wouldn't sign off on a plea deal that reduced the charge to the same as a speeding ticket.
"I'm not going to be guilty of signing something because someone is a celebrity," Dean-Walker told Reuters.
The Texan troubadour famed for hits such as "Crazy" and "Always on My Mind" ran into trouble last November when his tour bus stopped for an immigration checkpoint.
A Border Patrol agent smelled marijuana and summoned deputies. Officials first reported enough marijuana was found to charge the singer with a felony, but County Attorney C.R. Bramblett told Reuters in early June that less than two ounces were found, making it a lesser criminal offense.
Nelson agreed in June to plead no contest to a misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia, pay a $500 fine and court costs of about $280.
Nelson's attorney, Joe Turner, mailed in all the paperwork after striking the deal with Bramblett and expected it to be over by the end of June, he said.
"Normally, that's a done deal," Turner told Reuters on Friday. Continued...

President's Office Building, Room 1
October 29, 2007
|AU Campus Community
|Neil Kerwin, President
|Army Corps of Engineers Activity
I am writing to remind the campus that the Army Corps of Engineers began their intrusive (digging) operations on Monday (October 29) on 4825 Glenbrook Road, adjacent to the AU campus. The work on this site is expected to continue for at least the next 14 weeks.
American University continues to work with the Army Corps, D.C. Department of the Environment officials, the Environmental Protection Agency, and other organizations and individuals to ensure that the work on the site is conducted with utmost safety protocols in place and with the well being of the campus and surrounding neighborhood of prime importance.
In previous updates and via materials available on the AU Army Corps operation Web site (www.american.edu/usace) and on the Army Corps own Web site (www.nab.usace.army.mil/projects/WashingtonDC/springvalley.htm), you can review the safety measures in place—which are substantial. And if you have specific questions, call 202-885-2020.
On the AU campus, we have conducted informational and shelter-in-place sessions for the occupants of buildings closest to the site; we have relocated the children in the Child Development Center to their previous home in Leonard Lounge (and we thank the students and staff of Leonard for their assistance and understanding); with the cooperation of the athletics staff, we have altered the use of the Jacobs turf field to curb activities between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday–Friday (with a very small number of exceptions and schedule adaptations made possible through prior arrangement); and we have signage and marshals in the vicinity to assist anyone should the unlikely event occur that the siren goes off.
Admittedly, this is an unusual situation that requires considerable patience and understanding by the entire AU community, and I appreciate the support of our campus. Through it all, our priority is the well-being of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, visitors, friends, and the surrounding community. We will not compromise that.
I will provide updates into the future as the situation warrants.
AU's strategic plan, Leadership for a Changing World, outlines goals and objectives for the next decade at American University. Visit american.edu/strategicplan for more information. (myAU.american.edu login required for some documents)

Last weekend, I noticed that Ori had a slight limp & a lump on his right front wrist/ankle. It didn't seem to bother him very much, but, when it hadn't changed by Wednesday, we took him to our wonderful vet Laurie.
Laurie greeted us with a big smile & then got down on the floor with Ori while we were telling her what brought us there. Her sunny disposition changed almost instantly & she said that she had to be honest with us, that this was a tumor. The fact that it came up so suddenly was an indicator that we needed to act quickly & she recommended surgery asap.
So yesterday, Ori had the lump removed.He came through the surgery fine, but the tech told us that Laurie didn't know what the tumor was & was sending it for biopsy.
We were very discouraged & worried from that. We were wondering if we should consider having his leg amputated, or put him down or....But, then we spoke with Laurie & she gave us a whole different picture. She thought she did know what it was, but sent it for bx to be sure. She did not think it was anything very worrisome. What GREAT news & wonderful relief!!
We are still on pins & needles a bit, til we get the bx report next week, but are at least, hopeful that we may expect a good outcome. We still pray...

Name: Ben Jones
Position: 1b
DOB: July 3, 1981
Height: 6' 3"
Weight: 195
Bats: Right
Throws: Right
Place of Residence: Monroe, Louisiana
How Acquired:The New York Yankees selected Ben Jones in the 14th round (429th Overall) of the 2004 MLB Amateur Draft.
The Yankees went mostly for pitching in the 2004 draft so their one high profile draftee that was a hitter, Jon Poterson, got a lot of attention. But, what about Ben Jones? Many scouts are now coming to realize that Jones may be one of the most intelligent and intriguing draftees of all the Yankee selections. This is not only because he had a very good season in his first professional campaign but also perhaps because they may have gotten a steal considering the type of big time numbers that Jones put up in his college career. Big players in low slots are picked up every year. Just look at Marcus Giles and Roy Oswalt. Maybe calling Jones a future star is getting ahead of ourselves but this first baseman will be one to watch very closely over the next couple of seasons.
Things did not start off with a bang for Ben Jones as he entered college at the University of Louisiana at Monroe as he elected to redshirt his first season there in 2001. However, the Louisiana native certainly had a good record behind him. Jones was a tremendous high school player at Ouachita Christian High School. As a senior there, he swung his way to a lofty .454 batting average while mashing an incredible 11 home runs. Not to mention, Jones could really pitch as well. In his final two seasons at Ouachita Christian, he had a combined pitching record of 20-1, that's right 20-1. Not bad for a guy who was eventually drafted for his big time bat. After his monstrous senior year, Jones was named the District 2-2A MVP and the All-Northeast Player of the Year. Despite a fantastic prep track record, Jones was not highly scouted out of high school by any MLB organizations. However, he certainly had a bright college future ahead of him.
After an outstanding high school career, Ben Jones was signed up by the University of Louisiana at Monroe after being recruited by head coach, Brad Holland. Little did anyone know at the time that, in time, he would become one of the biggest baseball stars the University ever had. As earlier stated, the first baseman was not an immediate impact star in college and sat out his first season. But, he was ready to roll in 2002 and it showed. He started out hot in 2002 and blasted his first long ball on April 2nd. From that point on, it was smooth sailing for the right handed slugger. For his first real season of playing time in college, Jones had an excellent year in 2002. Overall, he batted .309 with 3 home runs and 28 RBI. However, it was only a taste of what was to come in the next two seasons for Ben Jones. 2003 dwarfed 2002 as far as offense is concerned for Jones. He had a huge season as he paced the offense for the Indians. Jones led the team in home runs (9), hits (74), RBI (55) and total bases (114). To add to that, he was also in the top three on the team in other offensive categories such as batting average, slugging percentage, doubles, walks and sacrifice flies. It just goes to show you just how vital he truly was to every aspect of their offense. After a season of that caliber, Jones earned First-Team All-Southland Conference honors. Could the 2004 season be any better for Jones? It turns out, yes, it could. In the season he was drafted, Jones teed off for 14 home runs, which led the team, while compiling a, team second best, .338 batting average. The list goes on. He also led the team in RBI, slugging percentage, hits and total bases. One could say, without exaggeration, that Ben Jones was the heart and soul of University of Louisiana at Monroe Baseball.
Now, after looking at such a staggering resume, it is pretty easy to say that the Yankees may have stolen Ben Jones in the draft this year. That is why many scouts have looked at him as possibly the most intriguing late round draft pick for the Yankees in 2004. And, any worries about a wooden bat hampering his power numbers from college are out the window now. After Jones was signed by the Yankees, he was assigned to the Staten Island Yankees in the short season NY-Penn League. There, he immediately was an impact player for an offense desperate lineup. Perhaps the most important thing though is that his power numbers did not dip whatsoever. He ended up batting .280 with 6 home runs. Sadly, his numbers could have been far better if he wasn't struck down by an injury late in the 2004 season The injury caused him to only compile 150 at bats for the season. Nonetheless, he earned his ticket out of Staten Island and to at least Charleston next season. If that stands to be true, he should certainly have a starting first base job waiting there for him in 2005.
Staten Island
* Stats as of 10/1/04
Batting and Power. Still, without an argument, the most intriguing part of Ben Jones' game is his huge power potential. He looks like a player that could hit 25+ home runs annually on the Major League level. Not losing any of his power after switching to the wooden bat is also an outstanding sign for things to come. Things he will need to improve are his walk totals and he will also need to cut back on the strikeouts. Right now, he is pretty much a free swinger as many young hitters are. However, he still does have the ability to hit for an over .300 batting average. His offensive promise is his big ticket to the show.
Base running and Speed. In no way, shape or form is Ben Jones a stolen base threat. He never has been throughout his career. Right now, it doesn't appear that will ever change either. He is an intelligent base runner and his quickness is good around the first bag but his overall speed is below average to average at best.
Defense. Not only is Ben Jones a fantastic hitter, he is very good in the field. He is not very fast, but he has quick reflexes and is still very athletic. He moves well around the bag. Also, his throwing arm is well above average for a first baseman. His pitching days help him out on that one. He is excellent at turning the doubles plays. All around he looks to be a very solid first baseman that has room to get even better.
Projection. It is going to be very difficult to project the ability of Ben Jones until we see him for a full season. However, the impression thus far is that Jones is going to be an effective power hitter throughout his career. Why? If he can make such a smooth adjustment to a wooden bat and not sacrifice his power, the strength and ability to hit home runs will not leave him. But, at this point it is hard to tell if he will be a power hitting reserve player or a starter. But, with his solid defensive skills and ability to also hit for a high average, it appears he could be an MLB starter.
ETA. 2007. In dealing with a prospect in a scenario like Ben Jones, it is a tough one to call. He is already 23 years old and the Yankee organization is likely going to push him hard before he gets too old to be considered a prospect. He will probably start in Charleston next year with the presence of Erold Andrus and John Urick in Tampa. But, by 2006, it seems very likely that he will make his way to AA Trenton, possibly with a brief stop in Tampa. Then, he will probably start the 2007 season in Columbus with a possible late season callup. However, with a player like Jones, any slips could cost him and his career a major blow.

We often wonder what opposing teams, their beat reporters and bloggers are saying about the Celtics. Here's a look at some enemy chatter from San Antonio. Parker dominated his individual matchup with fellow All-Star Rajon Rondo, outscoring him by 16 and nearly matching him in assists, eight to nine. He also had four steals to none for Rondo, who was so quiet for most of the game it seemed as if he hadn't suited up. Parker made the exact opposite impression, sinking a rare 3-pointer and a series of circus shots down the stretch as he carried the Spurs on his back. Spurs Nation No gripe here. Rondo was a no-show, by his standards. KWAPT said as much in the game recap. I'm starting to lose my optimism with this team. Something isn't right…

text: Assessing Confidence in the Chinese Learner Stephen Bruce Napier University, Edinburgh Assessing Confidence in the Chinese Learner Chinese students at Napier University Rationale for confidence-based assessment Student responses to the test Academic self-concept, confidence and achievement research English Foundation Programme Set up in 2001 to prepare Chinese students for entry to Napier University, both in terms of linguistic and study skills. The needs of these students were complex, the "learning curve" for them was extremely steep, and that the demands they faced on a linguistically complex and culturally unfamiliar one-year Masters would be considerable, even given the requisite IELTS pass. Proportion of Chinese students on Napier Business Masters programmes has increased in recent years, which has resulted in staff and the institution facing a very different cohort with different strengths, and also needs, to their predecessors. Presents a major challenge to lecturers as they struggle to adapt their teaching approaches to suit both the increased number of overseas students and also the home students on their modules. Dr Lesley Gourlay, Napier University (2004). Crossing Boundaries: A Case Study Masters Level Chinese Students, LTSN (In Press). Linguistic and Cultural Issues Challenges for Students LANGUAGE Extreme difficulties in understanding / taking notes in lectures Difficulties with tutorial participation due to lack of confidence in English Some difficulties with tutorial tasks due to slow reading speeds Fear of failing exams due to difficulties in writing English in a time limit EDUCATIONAL CULTURE Feeling "lost" in semester 1 Some students unclear about expectations in UK-style coursework & reading Experience extremely stressful for some Lesley Gourlay, Napier University (email@example.com) Linguistic and Cultural Issues Challenges for Staff LANGUAGE Unsure if students are understanding lectures Required to spend extra time explaining lecture content at the end Some difficulties with tutorial participation and integration EDUCATIONAL CULTURE Some staff faced with numerous examples of plagiarism in coursework Some difficulties with tasks involving critical appraisal Some students struggled with application of theory to practice Lesley Gourlay, Napier University (firstname.lastname@example.com) Potential responses by the university LECTURE C O M P R E H E N S IO N & N O T E T A K IN G : TU TO R IAL P A R T IC IP A T IO N IS S U E S : PLAG IAR ISM AS LAN G U A G E CO PIN G STRATEGY: S P E C IF IC S E S S IO N S F O R IN T E R N A T IO N A L STUDENTS?

Confidence and achievement Chinese learners show a preference for rote-learning and memorisation. However their responses to learning strategy questionnaires indicate preference for deep learning. Learner self-esteem has been found to be positively associated with academic achievement (Brookover et al., 1964; Prendergast & Binder, 1975; Song & Hattie, 1984) Comparative studies support a view that the self-esteem of young Chinese students is lower than UK and American (Chan, 2000). – – – self-effacing and modest values in Chinese culture, strongly influenced by the Confucian tradition of a 'humble' character traditional authoritarian style of education or the highly competitive pressures created by schools, families and society gap in living standards in the UK and Chinese cultures Recent advances in academic self-concept and achievement research Assessing Confidence in the Chinese Learner This short pilot study is interested in two questions: 1. Would the Chinese students responses to a confidence-based test differ from UK students ? • 2. A good cultural test of this format Would their use of confidence levels in the test relate to their academic self-concept, or attitudes to academic life ? • Improving academic self-concept is often posited as mediating other desirable attributes Rationale for confidence-based scoring A student's ability in answering may fall into a number of categories – I know it – I'm not quite sure, but I think I know it – Perhaps I can identify the answer by a deductive process on the distracters – If I guess I've a 25% chance of being correct (for 4 answer choices) – I really haven't a clue and perhaps worst of all – I really know it …… what do you mean I've got it wrong !! Davies (2002) The standard MCQ cannot distinguish between the above – – – – possible to pass exams with knowledge only half learned or poorly understood the student certain of their knowledge should be rewarded the student should not be rewarded for guesswork encourage students to reflect on the reliability of their answers Would the student use this knowledge to make a decision or perform an action (usable knowledge) ? Hassmen and Hunt (1994) Confidence-based MCQ Select an answer in the usual way for a multiple choice question Indicate your confidence that you are correct. C=1 (low) Gardner-Medwin and Gahan (2003) C=2 (mid) C=3 (high) Scoring confidence-based MCQ What is my score if my answer is Confidence level C=2 (Mid) C=3 (High) Score when 1 2 3 Score when 0 -1 -4 < 50% >50% >75% Confidence level decision is governed by 2 judgements: o o ? C=1 (Low) Probability correct or estimated probability that the chosen answer will be correct the impact of the reward / benefit for a right / wrong answer Students rarely discuss their decisions in terms of explicit probabilities Gardner-Medwin and Gahan (2003) Encouraging good confidence judgement Students are encouraged to reflect on the reliability of their answers. Good confidence judgement means more marks ! If you are sure that your answer is correct …. o select C=2 (mid) or C=3 (high) confidence level get the marks your confidence deserves! If your are unsure (or guessing !) …. o select C=1 (low) confidence level don't lose marks through misplaced confidence! Confidence-based MCQ feedback A 100% confidence-based score is 40 answers at C=2 (mid) confidence …. so that 40 correct at C=3 would be 150% A summary of confidence levels…. Gardner-Medwin and Gahan (2003) Confidence-based MCQ feedback Is the confidence-based score higher than the % correct score? No 1. Check the instances of INCORRECT answers at C=3 (high) and C=2 (mid). These can indicate areas of knowledge where you are misinformed. A large number of these perhaps indicates general overconfidence. 2. Check your number of CORRECT answers at C=1 (low). A large number indicates that you know more than you are willing to admit and are perhaps underconfident. Confidence-based MCQ feedback Is the confidence-based score higher than the % correct score?
