The Dullahan & The Boy
"If this fog heralds an Unseelie hunt, your education in tactics will be sorely needed. We need more intelligence."
"I've sent Cardero and Eugenio to skirt its' edge." Lanésto said. "We should have word shortly."
It was hardly an hour before Cardero and Eugenio returned, haggard and wide-eyed, to Castle Drent. Requesting immediate conference with the baron, the two men were escorted through the courtyard and up the stairs of the west parapet to where Lanésto and Varoq held counsel. They bowed and awaited their address. Seeing their naked shock, Lanésto asked worriedly, "What is it? What moves this foul smog?" Eugenio gazed up with frightened eyes, replying, "Milord, the brume you sent us to observe is quickened by the most devilish of spirits... a Sluagh sídhe; the Dullahan. He bade us speak of himself to you, but gave no instruction otherwise. They hunt a soul misled, a young lad from the footlands of Gaenl, who trod across one sacred mound of theirs. They lead a dark rendition of the Wild Hunt to find the boy."
Despite his usually reserved manner, Lanésto gasped, and even the Elder looked disturbingly grim. The Wild Hunt was a sacred otherworldly pursuit of an evil foe, which no mortal would ever dare get in the way of. There were oft rumors of a more sinister Wild Hunt, and it was suspected that if they were true, the Sluagh would surely lead it. However, most regarded these simply as stories, not to be taken seriously. As Lanésto mused, Varoq spoke up, with an enquiring tone. "Why would such a minor trespass warrant a Wild Hunt? Do the Sluagh truly take offense so easily? Or is this dullahan a cruel and spiteful fae?"
At this, Cardero looked at the Elder with somber eyes. The older of the two, Cardero was a something of a mentor to Eugenio, who had looked up to the man ten years his senior with awe and admiration, since he was very young. Cardero was a tactician in the Baron's service, a vassal for nigh upon five years since the two men had arrived at Castle Drent, escaping from the nearby town of Orüvar, four-score leagues to the east, when it had been burned to the ground by bandits.
"I would not know, Wise One. He is beyond my ken, as he exists in a wholly different world than ours. From what I gathered, however, he seems to be bent on vengeance for the purpose of amusement, and not for any other reason." Varoq listened without response, then glanced inquiringly at the baron. Lanésto looked troubled; his mouth confused but his eyes hard. After a pause, the Elder spoke, sadness written on his eyes. "It seems the host mean us no harm, Sire. Their slow traversal of these parts is likely driven from their desire to make sport of their prey, allowing him to make some progress whilst they meander languidly, just out of the bounds of sight, but not out of the bounds of fear."
Lanésto laughed mirthlessly. "I see you are as eloquently astute as ever, my advisor. Yes, it would appear that the danger has passed, at least for us. Cardero, Eugenio, would you announce this good news to the people of Drent?" The two stood up, as Cardero replied gladly, "Yes milord, right away." Relieved, they grinned at eachother, leaving the room in a hurry.
The baron sighed, then sat down. Varoq gazed at him curiously. "What is the matter, Sire? The threat is past, there is no cause to worry. What troubles you?"
"I... I am merely worried for the boy. As you say, his trespass is minor, and as humans we cannot see with such spiteful justification as the sluagh. The people of Gaenl are insatiably curious, as you would well know. It is your birthplace, is it not?" Varoq smiled. "Yes, it certainly is. I, too, share your empathy towards this lad, forsaken by fate as he is. But what can we do?"
Lanésto stood up and paced the room. Through clenched teeth, he replied, "But whyfore and witherto dost the lad run? In what place can he hide from these vindictive fae? And why did he not come here, for Dagda's sake? Even with the consequences, I would have granted the boy haven from his blight." The baron's voice was bitter and lamenting.
The Elder's eyes softened. "Regret will do nothing in assuaging your dispair, Sire." Lanésto said nothing, but sat down, conflicted. There was a long pause.
Finally, Varoq spoke again, gazing at the baron with an open expression. "Do what you will, my Lord. I will be here whatever your decision may be." He rose, and walked towards the door, shutting it carefully behind him as he walked towards the courtyard.
Lanésto quietly remained with his thoughts. Eventually he got up and went to the window. He could still see the fog, slowly moving across the land like a virulent cloud. He stared at it, and wondered what he would do next.

Democrats and liberal commentators are surprisingly positive on the new GOP tax reform proposal unveiled Wednesday by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.). "It doesn't use the pretense of reform to shift the tax burden off the rich, as Republican 'tax reform' plans usually do," writes Jonathan Chait. While he knocks it overall, Jared Bernstein argues the plan has "worthy aspirations" and "bravely throws some treasured loopholes" like Wall Street tax breaks. Harry Stein, associate director of fiscal policy at the Center for American Progress, tweets that the proposal has "great ideas" and at least in one way -- limiting housing-related tax breaks -- "is far better targeted than current law."
So why won't Democrats embrace it? Here's Patty Murray (D-Wash.), chairwoman of the Senate Budget Committee, yesterday: "House Republicans refuse to ask the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations to contribute to reducing the deficit or investing in jobs and economic growth. ... I also am very concerned that this proposal would actually increase deficits beyond the ten-year budget window -- an outcome we simply cannot afford given our long-term fiscal challenges."
We're at that point in politics where both parties' justification for not taking action in the present is because it would do the same harm well in the future. Democrats don't want to support a tax reform that looks okay right now because it might widen deficits in the 2020s and beyond. Republicans, meanwhile, are out everyday blasting President Obama's reckless spending policies, not so much for driving deficits higher today (they've fallen sharply), but because Medicare and Social Security are imperiled 10 or 20 years from now.
The worries about the future are especially striking because Murray released a new analysis looking at the outcome of the past three years of budget wars. And she found that they've reduced borrowing over the next 10 years by $3.3 trillion. And that isn't terribly surprising: The Congressional Budget Office has already reported that the budget deficit has fallen to 3 percent of gross domestic product, from nearly 10 percent a year ago. Right now, the budget deficit is not a massively pressing concern.
One of the basic reasons government is so gridlocked is because principle often comes before what's pragmatic: Theoretical arguments about the future trump practical ones the about the present. To quote Larry Summers, inverting John Maynard Keynes, earlier this week: "If you die in the short-run, there is no long run." And the warnings about the budget's future would be much more impressive if you could have told me in the year 2000 we would have wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and a massive economic crisis in 2008, or you could have told me in 1990 that we were going to see a huge productivity boom that helped expand the economy and lead to budget surpluses by the end of the decade.
All of which raises the question: Should Obama take the fig leaf of a tax reform proposal offered by Camp -- regarded by all sides as reasonable, the most compromising proposal made by a Republican in some time -- and respond with a cool, if not warm, embrace? Should Obama say, "I can work with this," and then work with it -- suggest some modifications to ease Democratic concerns, find some money for domestic investments in jobs and infrastructure and research and development? Or should he blow it off?
The funny thing is the Camp tax reform proposal is a bit of mirror image to Obama's own budget proposals -- compromise offers that try to reach the other side halfway. The Camp proposal is very much in the Obama mold.
Ahead of the 2014 mid-terms, though, Obama and the Democrats are going to blow Camp's proposal off. And that probably makes the most sense politically. But practically speaking, Camp has offered a proposal Obama probably could work with. Who knows if it ultimately would work out? But one could make a good argument that, if the goal is an economic policy that grows the economy and boosts jobs here and now, he should try.

"Nola Richardson was especially impressive in the soprano parts, singing with beautiful tone..."
- The New York Times
"What made this evening special was the performance of soprano Nola Richardson, who blew through the runs of the aria "Rejoice Greatly" from Handel's "Messiah" at Abraham's fast pace with astonishing balance and accuracy, lavishing crystalline diction on everything she touched and managing, throughout, to shape phrases with natural-sounding ease."
- The Washington Post
"Soprano Nola Richardson made a wonderful ABS debut as a nimble-voiced and charming Galatea."
- SF Classical Voice
"Brilliant diction, tonal clarity, and impeccable phrasing"
- Cleveland Classical
"Richardson possesses an unusually beautiful voice -- sparkling and clear, full-bodied throughout its range, with a hint of darkness that adds an extra note of complexity."
- Cleveland Plain Dealer

The Washington Post begins their version of the coming Bush legacy by quoting an ABC News Poll:
"A majority of Americans say the indictment of senior White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby signals broader ethical problems in the Bush administration, and nearly half say the overall level of honesty and ethics in the federal government has fallen since President Bush took office, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News survey.
The poll, conducted Friday night and yesterday, found that 55 percent of the public believes the Libby case indicates wider problems "with ethical wrongdoing" in the White House, while 41 percent believes it was an "isolated incident." And by a 3 to 1 ratio, 46 percent to 15 percent, Americans say the level of honesty and ethics in the government has declined rather than risen under Bush.
In the aftermath of the latest crisis to confront the White House, Bush's overall job approval rating has fallen to 39 percent, the lowest of his presidency in Post-ABC polls. Barely a third of Americans -- 34 percent -- think Bush is doing a good job ensuring high ethics in government, which is slightly lower than President Bill Clinton's standing on this issue when he left office.
The survey also found that nearly seven in 10 Americans consider the charges against Libby to be serious. A majority -- 55 percent -- said the decision of Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald to bring charges against Libby was based on the facts of the case, while 30 percent said he was motivated by partisan politics."
No doubt, the Bush Administration has seen better days. But considering the relentless onslaught (more than any I witnessed in 40 years of following politics), I'm surprised that Bush is still clicking along. This is not to minimize Mr. Libby's issues, but then if we were real, this will most likely go to a trial that will last several years and then the President will most likely pardon him as he leaves office. Nuff said on Scooter.
But if the WAPO want's to talk about corruption, what has taken place so far with (1) indictment in the Bush administration, pales in comparison to that of the Clinton Administration. In fact, Clinton is the current record setter of scandals, Bush would have likely stay in office 100 years to catch up. Yet you wouldn't know it from the MSM, so I'll help you understand. I've posted these before they come this website which is a good record of the Clinton 'legacy'.
- The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance
- Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates*
- Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation
- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
- First president sued for sexual harassment.
- First president accused of rape.
- First first lady to come under criminal investigation
- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case
- First president to establish a legal defense fund.
- First president to be held in contempt of court
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad

- Number of Clinton Cabinet members who came under criminal investigation: 5
- Number of Reagan cabinet members who came under criminal investigation: 4
- Number of top officials jailed in the Teapot Dome Scandal: 3
- Number of individuals and businesses associated with the Clinton machine who have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes: 47
- Number of these convictions during Clinton's presidency: 33
- Number of indictments/misdemeanor charges: 61
- Number of congressional witnesses who have pleaded the Fifth Amendment, fled the country to avoid testifying, or (in the case of foreign witnesses) refused to be interviewed: 122
- Guilty pleas and convictions obtained by Donald Smaltz in cases involving charges of bribery and fraud against former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy and associated individuals and businesses: 15
- Acquitted or overturned cases (including Espy): 6
- Fines and penalties assessed: $11.5 million
- Amount Tyson Food paid in fines and court costs: $6 million
Drug trafficking (3), racketeering, extortion, bribery (4), tax evasion, kickbacks, embezzlement (2), fraud (12), conspiracy (5), fraudulent loans, illegal gifts (1), illegal campaign contributions (5), money laundering (6), perjury, obstruction of justice.
Perhaps Mr. Libby would have done better to say, "I can't remember":
Number of times that Clinton figures who testified in court or before Congress said that they didn't remember, didn't know, or something similar.
Bill Kennedy 116
Harold Ickes 148
Ricki Seidman 160
Bruce Lindsey 161
Bill Burton 191
Mark Gearan 221
Mack McLarty 233
Neil Egglseston 250
Hillary Clinton 250
John Podesta 264
Jennifer O'Connor 343
Dwight Holton 348
Patsy Thomasson 420
Jeff Eller 697
Not to mention Mr. Clinton himself, who although a Rhodes Scholar, seemed to aquire "brainleaky" when it was "convenient".
In the portions of President Clinton's deposition that have been made public in the Paula Jones case, his memory failed him 267 times. This is a list of his answers and how many times he gave each one.

Now you'll note statistics on the quoted website for the Regan, Nixon years as well as other administrations. Yet President Bush's administration at this point is THE most unindicted, un-cited, and least investigated adminstration in recent history. Yet again, you are simply not going to hear this in the MSM. Which is why for news - they are complete irrevelant and useless.
Just keeping it real.

Guardian 5.2Mature
I went upstairs, checking the reservation place with my phone, it looked nice, and I found Kenzie, she had changed back into something nice; a simple button up shirt with a bowtie.
"What do you think?" She asked, smiling at me, looking beyond amazing.
"You look adorable." I said blushing. "Do you want to go to a nice italian restaurant for Valentine's?" I showed her the reservation ticket. "I just got it."
"How did you get that today? Do you have an ability I don't know about?"
"No, I don't have a super restaurant reservation ticket acquisition power. Travis gave it to me as a slightly late birthday gift."
"Travis? Our Travis? Black guy with a 'fro?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Nothing, I'm just surprised he did. But to answer your question, I'd love to."
"Well, we have about two and a half hours before that reservation. I should probably dress up some more… Give me some time?"
"Of course. I'll be in my room when you're done."
Chuan and Jessie were sitting on the couch, Jessie watching Cartoons with Lexy in hand while Chuan was just playing around on his phone, lying down and taking a lot of space. I remembered what Kenzie had said about them, so I went their way.
"Chuan, Jessie, do the two of you have a minute or ten?"
"Yeah, why?" Jessie said.
"I have a date with Kenzie, a real date but I have nothing to wear and you two are apparently the beauty specialists or something, normally I wouldn't mind but she's super dressed up and..." I'd bought some clothes a few days earlier but nothing date worthy.
"Okay, Okay! See, You're doing that thing you do when you get stressed out and you talk way too much so I'm going to stop you before we run out of time." Chuan said gave me the biggest grin. "But just so you know; you've asked the right people, isn't that right, Jessie?"
He got up and then took me by the hand, dragging me to his and Stan's room, which was empty and he had me sit on the bed while he scrounged in his . "So, I've got this cute top or a sexy dress, which do you prefer?"
"The top, I guess."
He took out a simple red long tube top, the middle of it had a leather belt tied to it that fit just beneath the chest.
"What do you think?"
"It's nice. Wait… Why do you have that or is Stan into that kind of stuff?"
"It's mine. I like to feel pretty sometimes." He said with a shrug. "I have loads of stuff."
"Oh okay." I really couldn't imagine Chuan wearing something traditionally feminine; his usual style screamed would-be rebel with the piercings, the destroyed jeans and the hair dye.
The two of them devised a scheme to make me look great, I didn't have much of an input but it was okay; I had no real makeup, fashion or hair styling skills. When my old friends had began picking those up, I'd fallen out of touch with them and into the limbo of depression.
They ended up combining the top with tight jeans and dress shoes from Jessie's own clothes, we had about the same size so it was comfortable enough. Then, She curled up my hair into waves while Chuan applied simple, natural looking makeup, although we didn't have any foundation matching my skin tone for obvious reasons.
"How do you not have your ears pierced? That's a crime." Jessie said. "Girls should have pierced ears. Scratch that, everyone should." It was my first time really playing attention to her ears, I noticed that she had several studs all shaped like tiny flowers, not just on the lobe but also on the helix and the tragus.
"My parents had me pierced when I was little but I removed them. I kept getting infections so we stopped trying. I have clip-ons but not with me."
"You bought clip-on earrings?" Chuan asked.
"Yeah, I saw them and thought they looked nice."
"Well, that's a good thing, I was about to write you off as a complete unsalvageable fashion nightmare."
"Hey, I'm not that bad."
"Paige, you wear the same clothes every single day of your life; identical jeans, loose tees or a long sleeved tee and your hoodie."
He had a point, but those were the only thing I really felt comfortable in. They finished my little make over and I checked the results. They hadn't accomplished a miracle, I was still too skinny and not filling the clothes well, but for once in my life, I might have been considered attractive.
I thanked them and left the room, knocking on Kenzie's door before going in. She was sitting on her bed, laptop on her lap.
She looked up and put the computer down.
"You look gorgeous." She said, she got up came forward and I leaned in closer, expecting a kiss, only for her to pinch my shoulder flesh. "You have skin there too, I'm learning more and more about you."
"I have lots more skin."
"I'll look forward to seeing it for my own eyes. Soon, maybe?"
The remark made a knot in my stomach. I couldn't help but over analyze it. Kenzie probably noticed because she kissed me gently.
"But only when you really want me to."
We sat down on her bed and cuddled up, watching silly things on her computer and watching the clock like a hawk. When only half an hour was left before our reservation we tagged a driver downstairs and she drove us to the restaurant.
The Gondola was a small restaurant that looked like it hadn't changed in decades, there was nostalgia in the decor and a retro, kitschy vibe to it while still having some energy to it, there were pictures of the place's history on the walls and italian paraphernalia. The dining room was built around an octogonal dance floor with a small stage where a group of musicians played live music.
The waiter and maître d' seemed unfazed to see two dressed up teenage girls together at a table on Valentine's day, just sitting us and taking our order politely. I couldn't help but wonder if they saw us as a couple or not, which gave me a bit of anxiety; yet I wasn't even sure which I wanted.
We opted for a shared antipasto platter for two, followed by Italian wedding soup as an entree and finished with carbonara and puttanesca pasta as a main course. As we ate, Kenzie and I talked about everything and nothing.
"You know, this is nice." I said, after the second course was over. "Being here, not for dinner but on a date... I kind of feel like crying to be honest."
"What's wrong?"
"That's just it, nothing is wrong. I just realized that for the first time in my life everything is okay. I haven't been happy in years and it just fucks me up inside… I love you so much..."
She got up and leaned in giving me a kiss in front of everyone.
"I love you too, Paige."
Almost as if it was on cue, the band began playing a slow song. Kenzie put her hand on mine.
"Do you want to dance?"
"I have no idea how."
"It's okay, just take my hand." She said.
I did and she guided us to the dance floor, moving our hands to the right place, hers on my hip and mine on her arm, the other holding her hand, raised. She held me close, enough to feel her breath on my skin.
"Just follow my lead." She said, beginning the movement as the music picked up, moving with every beat.
I did my best and yet I must have stepped on her feet more than on the dance floor, but still, she didn't mind, laughing gently at everyone of my faux-pas and correcting our movement graciously. Near the end of the song, my dancing had slightly improved, and I stared into her amazing eyes that glowed. As the song faded out, she stole a kiss from my lips, breaking away from the routine. She took me hand and led me to our table, where our desert had just been served.
"Sorry about the dance. I did warn you." I said.
"Don't fret about it, you were fine." She answered, dipping her spoon into the orange sorbet.
"I didn't know you could dance, but you were amazing."
"It might sound odd, but I've always dreamed about dancing with a romantic partner. It's like the one girly thing I obsessed about; those big lavish fairytale like dances, balls and et cetera. I have an embarrassing amount of dancing movies, like way more than is healthy."
"Well, I promise the next time will be better then."
"That's so sweet of you."
I couldn't help but notice that she looked rather tired, fidgeting and stretching her legs over and over. After spending a while with her, I'd gotten to learn how to tell when she was running on fumes and hiding her pain from me.
"Do you want to go home?" I asked stretching my arms.
"That would be great."
We got the check and I paid using Travis' gift card. We hadn't exactly went with the expensive stuff which left enough on the card for a second visit for the future. I got a taxi from the stand a street corner away and we settled in the back.
"My place?" I suggested to Kenzie. "We can watch a movie and relax."
"Sounds good."
I gave the driver the address and then she leaned over and kissed me. We made out in the back of the cab until the driver cleared his throat, indicating that we were home. I turned bright red as I gave the man the fare and a generous tip, he was probably used to people making out in the back.
We went upstairs, my parents were still away and we cuddled on the couch, watching a movie until Kenzie fell asleep in my arms.

news news in English
Kolkata: In a path breaking judgment, The Calcutta High Court on Monday ordered 17 Kolkata doctors including former West Bengal medical council members to stand trial for criminal conspiracy in 1998 Anuradha Saha medical negligence case. Anuradha Saha's husband Kunal Saha, who has been fighting this case since 1998, expressed happiness over the decision. These doctors conspired to save the culprits, he said.
Among those who will face trial is West Bengal medical council former president Dr Ashok Chowdhury. One of the three Kolkata doctors accused of medical negligence in the case is Dr Sukumar Mukherjee, who is now 'chief adviser' of health for the Mamata Banerjee government.
Kunal expressed hope that this ruling will pave the way for transparency in the medical profession. Medical Council must be transparent and honest and should not be shielding negligent doctors, he said.

The Walpole
A colleague of mine came into work one day raving about the Walpole and so we gave it a try about 2 months ago. Everything about this place is fantastic...the apperatifs, the service, the food, the wine, the atmosphere, everything! It really is the best place around for truly home-cooked food in a very friendly setting - and it does feel like you're eating at a friend's house.
We've off there again tonight, with a prepared strategy this time of:
- sharing ONE piece of bread whilst we check out the menu
- and then no doubt sharing another whilst Wendy goes through the menu in such fantastic detail and whilst we then undoubtedly change our minds because she makes it all sound so wonderful (her descriptions will a) have you entranced like a child listening to a bed time story, and b) salivating profusely so make sure you've located your napkin before she starts!);
- sharing starters and
- sharing desserts (if we ever get that far!).
It's now 12.40 on a Friday afternoon and I can't help but count the hours, minutes, seconds until I'm there again. Roll on tonight!

Bears on Offense
Matchups to Watch
RG Kyle Long vs. DE J.J. Watt
J.J. Watt is not 100 percent after undergoing two back surgeries this off-season and will be on a limited snap count against the Bears. That said, 50 percent of Watt is better than 100 percent of most NFL players. That will put a lot of pressure on Kyle Long, who is battling through a shoulder injury. If the Bears are going to move the ball consistently on Sunday, Long must keep Watt out of the backfield and out of the running lanes. The Houston defense feeds off Watt, so if he gets going, it will be a long, tough road for Jay Cutler and the running backs. This is a premiere matchup against two of the best at their respective positions. For the Bears to win, Long must come out on top.
WR Alshon Jeffery vs. CB Johnathan Joseph
Jeffery has looked like an absolute beast throughout the off-season and preseason, which needs to carry over to Week 1. Jeffery (6-3) has a four-inch height advantage over Joseph (5-11) and he's also six years younger. Joseph is 32 and coming off a 2015 campaign in which he intercepted just one pass, his lowest INT total since 2008. When Jeffery gets 1-on-1 looks against Joseph, the Bears need to take advantage. Joseph is still a quality corner but he's not the same player he was just a few years ago. If Jeffery can make a few of his patented downfield plays, that will loosen up the defense, which should help Cutler, the other receivers and the run game.
Keys on Offense
-The Bears have professed all off-season their desire to use a backfield by committee, riding the hot hand each game. We didn't see that during the preseason, as the running backs split full series. On Sunday, we'll supposedly get our first look at the post-Forte backfield. Yet don't be fooled, this is Jeremy Langford's show for the time being. Ka'Deem Carey will likely get 5-10 touches, with rookie Jordan Howard working in short-yardage situations, but the success of the run game on Sunday will fall on the speedy Langford, who has looked very good in the club's new zone-blocking system. Langford has the home run ability the Bears desperately need in this contest. Moving the ball consistently against a top NFL defense isn't realistic, especially for an offense in transition, so big plays will be a necessity. If Langford can rip off a few long runs, the offense should be able post respectable numbers on the scoreboard.
-Chicago's offensive line struggled mightily in blitz pickup this off-season. Now they'll enter the regular season with a new starter at left guard, Josh Sitton, meaning the Week 1 front five has never played a single snap together. That's scary, particularly against a Houston front seven that features Watt, as well as former first overall pick Jadaveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus (12.0 sacks last season) off the edges. Not only will RT Bobby Massie and LT Charles Leno have their hands full on passing downs, but expect Houston defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel to dial up blitzes early and often. If the Bears' new-look front five can't build instant chemistry, blitzers are going to come free, which could spell disaster for Cutler and the passing attack.
-TE Zach Miller was sparsely used during the preseason due to a concussion but he's healthy this week. That's a big boost for the Bears, as the passing attack was anemic with him on the sidelines. Miller has the potential to be a quality starting tight end in this league and it all starts this week. Not only does he need to stay healthy on Sunday but he needs to produce against Texans ILBs Brian Cushing and Bernardrick McKinney. In the passing game, McKinney can be exposed, of which Miller needs to take advantage. He led the team in touchdowns receptions last season and he'll need at least one score this weekend if the Bears are going to pull off the upset.
Bears on Defense
Matchups to Watch
LT Chris Clark vs. OLB Willie Young
The Texans will be without starting left tackle Duane Brown, which will put Chris Clark into the starting role. Brown is one of the best left tackles in the game and Clark is a clear step down. This is good new for Willie Young, who has been the most impressive edge rusher on the team throughout camp and the preseason. With Pernell McPhee on the shelf, it'll be up to Young to pick up the pass-rush slack. He had 7.0 sacks in the second half last year and is fresh off a contract extension. If Young takes advantage of the matchup with Clark and regularly collapses the pocket, QB Brock Osweiler is going to get rattled, which could lead to some crucial Bears turnovers.
WR DeAndre Hopkins vs. CB Tracy Porter
It would be surprising if Kyle Fuller (knee) played on Sunday, which means Tracy Porter will be shadowing DeAndre Hopkins for most of the game. This is a critical matchup for the Bears defense, as Hopkins is one of the best receivers in the game. Last season he caught 111 passes for 1,521 yards and 11 TDs, and that was facing consistent double teams every week. In reality, Hopkins is the type of player who is going to get his. The best the Bears can hope for is to just contain him and not let him blow the game wide open. That will involve plenty of double teams, as well as rolling safety help over the top on nearly every passing down. If Porter can somehow keep Hopkins in check, the Bears will have a chance at victory.
Keys on Defense
-The Texans paid QB Brock Osweiler a lot of money this off-season and he'll carry Houston's passing attack going forward. The Bears faced Osweiler when he started for the Broncos last year, so he's not an unknown, especially as John Fox coached him in Denver. Osweiler is tall (6-8), has a big arm and good wheels. Physically, he has everything you look for in an NFL quarterback but Osweiler is still relatively inexperienced. He's started just 7 games his first four years in the NFL, all coming last season in place of Peyton Manning. Now Osweiler is "the guy" with huge expectations. That's pressure the Bears must exploit. Osweiler surely wants to impress in his first game as Houston's starter, which means he could force a few throws, particularly if the pass rush is consistent. Willie Young, Lamarr Houston and rookie Leonard Floyd must pressure the edges on passing downs, while rookie Jonathan Bullard will get his first shot to collapse the pocket in Osweiler's face. If the defensive line can create havoc in the backfield, the Bears should be able to force some timely turnovers.
-Lamar Miller came over from Miami this off-season and is expected to be the focal point of Houston's rushing attack. Miller is a talented, slippery 25-year-old ball carrier with breakaway speed and good hands. He's one of the better all-around backs in the league, meaning the Bears need to focus a lot of their attention on keeping Miller in check. Ball security has been an issue for Miller - he lost three fumbles in 2014 - meaning the Bears need to be active in trying to strip the ball. New ILBs Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman need to be stout in their run fits because if Miller gets on a roll, this game will quickly get out of hand.
-The Texans upgraded the interior of their offensive line this off-season with the addition of LG Jeff Allen. He's a rock, yet RG Xavier Su'a-Filo can be exploited. He struggled mightily in pass protection last year, so the Bears must flood him with stunts and blitzes. Su'a-Filo is the weak link for Texas up front, so if the Bears want to pressure Osweiler consistently, they must overwhelm and confuse Houston's right guard.null

Robert, you may or may not be right, I do not know. The only way to prove it would be to show you can do it better, no? If you are so convinced this is wrong, you could, much better than quoting textbooks: a) write better patch, get attention with something you think is "better bottleneck" b) provide realistic "performance tests" as you dispute the measurement provided here It has to be that concrete, academic discussions are cool, but at the end of a day, it is the code that executes that counts. cheers, eks ----- Original Message ---- From: robert engels <email@example.com> To: email@example.com Sent: Sunday, 10 February, 2008 9:15:30 PM Subject: Re: [jira] Created: (LUCENE-1172) Small speedups to DocumentsWriter I am not sure these numbers matter. I think they are skewed because you are probably running too short a test, and the index is in memory (or OS cache). Once you use a real index that needs to read/write from the disk, the percentage change will be negligible. This is the problem with many of these "performance changes" - they just aren't real world enough. Even if they were, I would argue that code simplicity/maintainability is worth more than 6 seconds on a operation that takes 4 minutes to run... There are many people that believe micro benchmarks are next to worthless. A good rule of thumb is that if the optimization doesn't result in 2x speedup, it probably shouldn't be done. In most cases any efficiency gains are later lost in maintainability issues. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimization_(computer_science) Almost always there is a better bottleneck somewhere.

In the Automobile tire test for the Charger, the author didn't mention if 2 or 4 tires were used for the summer, all season, and winter tire test. With tire prices what they are today, do you recommend the use of 2 or 4 winter tires mounted on an AWD vehicle in a snow belt state?? Whatever your answer, which tire would you recommend for the new Subaru Crosstrek (essentially a raised Impreza)??
Tire tests are always in sets of four unless otherwise stated as vehicle are designed to have four matching tires. As for winter tire recommendations, these will vary from country to country as different products are offered worldwide. If you're in North America, feel free to post your tire size and I can make a recommendation. If you're in another part of the world you may want to seek out advice from local shops to see what is available in your region.

 Please refer to 'Gary/Motortrend' as your previous contact when you order online. firstname.lastname@example.com
Tire size is 225/55 R17 95H for the Subaru Crosstrek. I'm 30 miles due west of Pittsburgh, PA. My larger concern is if there is even a need for winter treads since this is an AWD vehicle and while the hilly area in which I live is a problem for lots of cars, I've seldom gotten stuck. The streets locally are largely plowed within 6 hours of any major snowfall while local interstates are usually the problem largely because of ice more than snow. After reading the Automobile article and seeing the unbelievable difference in all seasons vs winter tires I am questioning the cost vs benefit of a purchase. My heart tells me that it is better to be safe than sorry, but my brain says that a thousand bucks is a lot of money for 4 winter tires. In any case I will most likely purchase them based on your recommendation for this vehicle. Thanks for your consideration.
While you're less likely to get stuck with an AWD vehicle, an AWD car has no advantage in braking distances over a two wheel drive vehicle. The vast majority of accidents are not caused by vehicles that are stuck, but by those who could not stop safely or predictably remain in control of their vehicle. There is no need to spend $1000 for winter tires. Prices in 225/55R17 start around $120-$140 per tire for good choices like the General Altimax Arctic and Continental Extreme Winter Contact. Even top choices like the Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 are under $150 per tire. Winter http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=VZ3&url=/winter/index.jsp

 Please refer to 'Gary/Motortrend' as your previous contact when you order online. email@example.com
Thanks so very much for your patience and recommendations. They are very much appreciated.
If you're in Northern united states, you can publish your wheel dimension and I can make a suggestion. If you're in another world you may want to search for out guidance from regional stores to see what is available in your area . . . . . . .Click Here

Ryan Moore and Sir Michael Stoute teamed up for the second year in a row to land the Kilboy Estate Stakes at The Curragh on Sunday, this time with Mango Diva. After Dank took the same prize before bigger successes last year, similar targets may lie ahead for Mango Diva after she got up in the final stride of the Group Two contest.
Lahinch Classics made a bold bid and appeared to have done enough to cling on – having seen off Odeliz and the slightly disappointing My Titania – but Moore is never in a mood to be denied and the 9-2 chance overhauled David Wachman's filly in the nine-furlong race. My Titania was half a length back in third.
James Savage, Stoute's travelling head lad, said: "We were glad there wasn't much rain last night. She's a good-moving filly and wants top of the ground. I was praying for it to stop but in the end it just made it nice ground.
"She's progressive and forward-moving and, while that could be her trip, she will stay 10. She just gets caught on her head a bit over a mile. The boss and the owner will look for her next race but she might follow the Dank route."
Toogoodtobetrue continued a fine Curragh weekend for Aidan O'Brien when the highly regarded filly got off the mark, at her second attempt, in the Sycamore Lodge Equine Hospital Maiden. The 1-2 favourite was ridden by Joseph O'Brien.
A close second on her debut at Naas earlier this month, the Oasis Dream filly confirmed that promise and won well considering she had to race widest of the main protagonists through the early stages.
O'Brien Sr said: "You'd have to be delighted with that. She came forward lovely from her first run. Joseph was very happy with her and he thinks she is a very nice filly.
"She will love stepping up to seven furlongs and she could be one for the Debutante or the Moyglare."
At Maisons-Laffitte, Kool Kompany added to his growing list of significant wins with a gutsy display in the Prix Robert Papin. Richard Hannon's juvenile has now had six races and his only defeat came in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The Prix Robert Papin has been won by such luminaries as Arazi (1991), Natagora (2007) and Special Duty (2009).
On the same card John Gosden's Western Hymn, who met the first defeat of his career in the Derby at Epsom, returned to winning ways with a dominant display in the Prix Eugene Adam.
Western Hymn challenged down the centre of the track for William Buick, with Christophe Lemaire challenging on the inside on Master Carpenter. But Western Hymn quickened impressively to put daylight between himself and the rest.

We had a potpie tonight made from broth I'd saved from a roast a month ago, but what made him say this was my hoarding of the potato chip crumbs into a freezer bag for casserole. We would never throw those crumbs away (and no, dear, you cannot eat them as a snack now that they're frozen and officially part of mom's cooking ingredients.) From Arrested Development: Tobias Fünke: Do you see me more as the respected dramatic actor or more of the beloved comic actor? Carl Weathers: Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you've got a stew going. Tobias Fünke: Yes, that's fine, but I would like to focus on my acting, Mr. Weathers. I did give you my last $1, 100. Carl Weathers: Let me tell you a little story about acting. I was doing this Showtime movie, Hot Ice with Anne Archer, never once touched my per diem. I'd go to Craft Service, get some raw veggies, bacon, Cup-A-Soup... baby, I got a stew going. Tobias Fünke: [pause] I think I'd like my money back.

Self-heating is a problem to consider for Ultrasound Imaging probes. Since the probe is in contact with the skin, it's necessary to find a solution to lower the front face temperature in order to avoid patient discomfort, even at the most demanding operating condition. One solution consists in the design of a device that drains the heat from the front to the rear of the transducer, where a ...

Liquid crystals - as all liquids - are generally modelled as incompressible media. In fact, mass-density changes occurring in these mesophases are minuscule and inconsequential in most regimes of interest. However, liquid crystals exhibit also phenomena that call for a more refined theory. In particular, it is experimentally well established that the Fréedericksz transition - i.e., the sudden ...

[1]Alcon Research Ltd., Lake Forest, CA, USA
Anomalous acoustic streaming is observed from sharp edges of vibrating solid bodies in fluids. The streaming velocities can be orders of magnitude higher than expected from the Rayleigh streaming at similar amplitudes of vibrations. Acoustic velocity of a fluid relative to a solid body diverges at a sharp edge giving rise to a localized time-independent body force acting on the fluid. The ...

I removed them. There are also checks for "domain->id != -1" - any thoughts on those? Those seem to be running or not checks, right? Seems as though the virDomainObjIsActive() or hvirCheckFlags() is used elsewhere. What about priv->handle in xen_hypervisor.c? Seems as though open will set it and everyone else checks it. Given how these drivers call between each other, I'm inclined to leave as it, but I'm not against removing them either. John

Real guests. Real stays. Real opinions.
Pictures on web were deceiving. Rooms showed 2 queen beds but only 1 bed in rooms booked so had to have guests sleep on floor, microwave sparked upon use so couldn't use, calls to other rooms went to front desk, no ice maker, and price not reasonable.
From the description of the room I thought there was going to be 2 queen beds but it worked out with the fold out couch.
Clean hotel. Hard bed. High price.

10 ways to help pollinators: Pesticide regulation, diversified farming systems and long-term monitoring
Pesticide regulation, diversified farming systems and long-term monitoring are all ways governments can help to secure the future of pollinators such as bees, flies and wasps, according to scientists.
In an article published today in the journal Science, a team of researchers has suggested ten clear ways in which governments can protect and secure pollination services – vital to the production of fruits, vegetables and oils.
A recent global assessment by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) confirmed that large-scale declines in wild pollinators are happening in north Europe and North America.
The ten policies report, led by Dr Lynn Dicks at the University of East Anglia who also took part in the assessment, expands on its findings to provide clear suggestions on how to tackle the problem.
Dr Dicks said: "The IPBES report has made it very clear that pollinators are important to people all over the world, economically and culturally. Governments understand this, and many have already taken substantial steps to safeguard these beautiful and important animals. But there is much more to be done. We urge governments to look at our policy proposals, and consider whether they can make these changes to support and protect pollinators, as part of a sustainable, healthy future for humanity.
"Agriculture plays a huge part. While it is partly responsible for pollinator decline, it can also be part of the solution. Practices that support pollinators, such as managing landscapes to provide food and shelter for them, should be promoted and supported. We also need to focus publicly funded research on improving yields in farming systems like organic farming, which are known to support pollinators."
"Pressure to raise pesticide regulatory standards internationally should be a priority. The World Health Organisation and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations have worked for many years to develop a global code of conduct on pesticide management, but there are still many countries that don't follow it. This means pesticides are in widespread use that are unacceptably toxic to bees, birds, even humans."
The report stresses the need to develop more in-depth knowledge about the status of pollinators worldwide. Dr Dicks said: "We need long-term monitoring of pollinators, especially in Africa, South America and Asia, where there is little information about their status, but the processes driving declines are known to be occurring."
The ten suggested policies in full are:
- Raise pesticide regulatory standards
- Promote integrated pest management (IPM)
- Include indirect and sublethal effects in GM crop risk assessments
- Regulate movement of managed pollinators
- Develop incentives, such as insurance schemes, to help farmers benefit from ecosystem services instead of agrochemicals
- Recognize pollination as an agricultural input in extension services
- Support diversified farming systems
- Conserve and restore "green infrastructure" (a network of habitats that pollinators can move between) in agricultural and urban landscapes
- Develop long-term monitoring of pollinators and pollination
- Fund participatory research on improving yields in organic, diversified, and ecologically intensified farming
Prof Simon Potts, co-author and research professor in Agri-Environment at the University of Reading, said: "The definitive UN report is a sign that the world is waking up to the importance of protecting these vital pollinators. We hope that by going a step further and implementing these top policy opportunities, we can encourage decision-makers to take action before it's too late.
"Three quarters of the world's food crops benefit from animal pollination, so we must safeguard pollinators to safeguard the supply of nutritious foods."

A portable power-free test for the rapid detection of bacterial resistance to antibiotics has been developed by academics at Loughborough University and the University of Reading.
The test, which is at least 12 times faster than current microbiological tests, is the result of research by Dr Nuno Reis, Lecturer in Chemical Engineering at Loughborough University, and Dr Al Edwards, Associate Professor in Biomedical Technology at the University of Reading. The full study has been published in the Lab on a Chip journal.
The study showed that dipstick tests routinely used for testing in a variety of scenarios from soil pH strips for the garden to pregnancy tests, could be updated using the latest approach in miniaturised testing technology to help form the basis of a new generation of advanced, yet affordable, point-of-care tests for global diagnostics.
As part of the study, different cellular tests were carried out to demonstrate the full potential of Lab-on-a-Stick devices for a range of clinical situations:
Anti-microbial resistance – this was measured with E. coli samples typical of common urinary tract infection (UTIs). UTIs can be hard to treat with antibiotics because antibiotic resistance is so common and lab testing takes at least two days. The assay detects antibiotic resistance – in other words, can the cells grow in the presence of the antibiotic, and how much antibiotic is needed to stop cell growth? This demonstrated the advantage of using the microcapillary film which enables 10 different concentrations of antibiotic per sample to be tested with a single test strip. The research team are currently optimising this so that the test, which currently requires overnight incubation in a multi-well plate, could in the future be completed in less than two hours in a single test strip.
Bacteria identification – classical analytical microbiology tests used for the identification of bacteria were miniaturised and performed in parallel microcapillaries, resulting in simple and rapid identification of bacteria. To identify bacteria, many different tests must be performed on every sample, illustrating again the benefits of microcapillary film which performs 10 tests per test strip. This study demonstrated a four-hour test to distinguish two very closely related bacteria – a harmless laboratory strain of E. coli from a type of Salmonella that causes food poisoning.
ABO blood typing – a simple blood test that takes only two minutes was miniaturised and the results were recorded using an everyday digital camera.
Dr Reis said: "This is a major step towards miniaturising complex, routine microbiological and clinical tests that cannot at the moment be performed outside of the laboratory setting.
"Our secret is simplicity. We have shown how microengineered film material made from a very transparent plastic with special optical properties, makes it easy to perform laboratory tests without lab equipment. Previously, we showed how a portable Lab-in-a-briefcase made it possible to record blood test results with the assistance of a simple smartphone."
Dr Edwards, co-author of the study, said: "This is the latest demonstration of our exciting new technology called microcapillary film. Many researchers across the world have shown how miniaturising lab tests can speed them up using microfluidic Lab-on-a-Chip devices. But these are too expensive to be useful outside the laboratory. What we have done is to develop a low cost way of making thousands of miniature test tubes, so that we can use them for many important applications. Lab-on-a-Stick shows yet again how versatile these microscopic test tubes are."

Jennifer White's Profile
In October 2009 I married my prince charming outdoors in beautiful Sedona, AZ with close family and friends. It was truely a dream come true and a magical day. That day has proven that I am Living A Fairytale, and that is where my shop name comes from!
All of my wedding items were made by me, as I not only love to craft, but I wanted things to be more personalized. I came up with the idea of wedding ribbon wands during the summer of 2010. I went through many trials and realized how fun they are to wave around, and how you can incorporate your colors to make amazing ceremony exit photos! I have yet to find these sold in stores, so I started my Etsy shop, Living A Fairytale. Here you can find over 30 colors and many different styles of wands to fit your personality and wedding themes! This is such an easy way to tie in your colors and they double as favors for about $1 a piece…

On Tuesday Apple provided developers and beta testers with the GM build of OS X Yosemite, which will likely be the version that ships to consumers later in October (although since this is only a "GM candidate" we may see another build sometime before then). Earlier we noted that this build includes updated videos to demonstrate the trackpad gestures in System Preferences that showed off new iWork icons.
As it turns out, those demo videos also give us a quick look at what will almost certainly be the next major version of Apple's iWork suite. Above you can see an unreleased version of Pages that features a redesigned toolbar and other tweaks. Another of the videos has our first look at the updated Keynote app:

Anyone testing iPhone Handoff calling on OS X Yosemite, Apple's latest Mac operating system, have probably noticed one major detail missing: a dialer. Student developers Eytan Schulman and Harrison Weinerman have created a very useful utility called Continuity Keypad that solves that problem.
Essentially what the app does is bridge a gap created by Handoff and FaceTime when making calls on your Mac using your iPhone. It creates a dialer similar to the one found on your iPhone allowing you to easily call numbers using your iPhone from your Mac, and it uses transparency to fit in with the new look of OS X. expand full story

While reading this issue, you may notice that one topic comes up in several of the articles: the significant impact of government regulations on home building.
New Home Marketing
New Home Marketing
As demand for new-home construction began to wane, Steve Laughlin of Cornerstone Builders tapped into his past clients by offeri
Sure, the past five years have been chaotic and the prospects for 2011 don't exactly look entirely sunny. But there are plenty of builders and developers that are planning for growth this year by doing anything but the status quo. We reached out to Professional Builder's 112,000 readers, as well as dozens of the industry's top consultants and experts, and asked them to share their best practical, proven ideas for growing revenue and increasing profits in 2011. We present the top 35.
When it comes to specifying window systems for new-home projects, energy efficiency and price are the top considerations among home builders, according to a December 2010 survey of Professional Builder readers. Nearly eight in 10 survey respondents ranked energy efficiency as a top factor, while about two-thirds said price is a key consideration.
Armed with years of management improvements and a recession-busting attitude, Professional Builder's Builder of the Year kept its focus on a diversified and value-rich product offering to emerge as one of the best-run builders in the business.
At a scant 528 square feet, the Eco-Cabana model from Palm Harbor Homes may be small in stature but it is mighty when it comes to green living. Designed to meet DOE's Builders Challenge energy performance requirements of sub-70 on the HERS Index, the model will be loaded with high-performance, sustainable features.
While conducting research on a builder for a recent issue of Professional Builder, I did what most people do first when they want to learn more about a company, or any subject for that matter. I went to Google. I punched in the builder's name and was immediately taken aback by the Page 1 search results. Naturally, the first few items related to the company's website, but the third and fifth items where consumer feedback websites laced with comments blasting the builder.
Successful builders obsess on sales conversion ratios, tracking key metrics, hiring the right people, and knowing where they stand in the marketplace, writes Bob Schultz in his latest column. Schultz offers 14 ways builders can win in the sluggish economy.
While home builders are less than upbeat about the health of the overall housing market, most are optimistic when it comes forecasting revenue and profit for 2011, according to a survey of Professional Builder readers. More builders than not indicated that they are planning for flat or higher revenue and profit in the coming year, with nearly a fifth of respondents projecting revenue growth of 7 percent or higher.
Even in this economy, there are builders in all markets producing good numbers. Management and sales expert Bob Schultz sheds some light on their secret to success. It includes having owner buy-in and learning to sell at a high conversion rate.
Though counterintuitive in today's market, a new pricing study from McKinsey & Co. suggests that a modest price increase on a cost-per-square foot basis might be worth considering.
Where does price really stand in the psyche of the average home shopper? Not where you would think, according to a recently concluded study of nearly 10,000 consumers by John Burns Real Estate Consulting.
