Free Agency Preview: Payroll, Pitching, and Prioritization
Today, Saturday November 3rd, marks the beginning of the MLB Free Agency period. After a long, disappointing season that saw the Blue Jays create more questions than they answered, free agency and the allure of the limitless potential of the offseason has become the focus among the Blue Jays media and blogosphere. As it was one year prior the words Blue Jays and rumour have almost become synonymous and the transactions haven't even started yet.
The difference is this year unlike last, there seems to be a definite desire for an increase in payroll. As Shi Davidi noted earlier this week Alex Anthopoulos is definitely ready and willing to increase payroll, even stating that, "[the Jays] will be able to look at players we wouldn't have been as serious about or wouldn't have fit." In his article, Davidi speculated that this increase could reach the heights of the $95 million range, which as he notes would leave roughly $15 million in spending money for the 2013 offseason.
After a season which saw 3/5 of the projected rotation spend significant time on the disabled list and the other 2/5 regress past imaginable levels of performance, it's no surprise that Anthopoulos has made the starting rotation a priority with this newfound increase in payroll. Those in the media as well as the blogosphere have speculated on such options as Zack Greinke, Edwin Jackson, Brandon McCarthy, Anibal Sanchez, and recently declared free agent Dan Haren. Of that list, all of the options seem feasible, save for Greinke, which leaves four pitchers to pine for and analyze until most (hopefully not all) sign with teams other than the Blue Jays, but that's the pain and fortune of being a Blue Jays fan.
Edwin Jackson
The first of the four pitchers is ex-Blue Jay Edwin Jackson, who MLBTR predicted to be the only one of their Top 50 free agents to land in Toronto. On the surface the thrill of signing a pitcher with Jackson's unpredictability and general lack of impressiveness seems almost non-existent, because he isn't exactly the type of pitcher who you would expect to be the missing piece in the quest for a playoff spot. He's coming off a good year, results wise, but the figures that he's reportedly looking for aren't exactly appealing
However Edwin Jackson is exactly the type of pitcher many of us are often describe. He's an average MLB starter who fits fine into the middle of a rotation and he hasn't pitched less than 180 innings since his first full season as a starter. Moreover once you realize that in the worst year of Jackson's career, save for his Devil Rays days, he still posted an fWAR better than any Blue Jays pitcher this year, he seems like a much more appealing option. Even if he'll never be what he was once projected to become, he is a more than satisfactory option for the middle of a rotation it only depends on whether or not he can get the contract he wants this time around.
Brandon McCarthy
The second of the four pitchers is everyone's favourite Twitter follow, Brandon McCarthy. As a player with perhaps the largest social media following of any in the MLB, McCarthy's name gets brought up in reference to a plethora of topics, but especially in comparison to the potential signing of other free agent starting pitchers. Toronto is no different, the online baseball community here has become just as enthralled with McCarthy as any other major league fanbase. Be that it may this mindset has gotten in the way of analysis of McCarthy as a pitcher and a free agent option for the Jays.
Brandon McCarthy is a pitcher who has had four 60-Day DL stints and four 15-Day DL stints in his seven season career. He's also a pitcher who is coming off a skull fracture and a brain injury that some say he's lucky to come out of functioning to the extent that he is. With regards to McCarthy as a person, what happened to him is terrible and shouldn't be wished upon anyone, but with regards to McCarthy as a pitcher, signing him may not be the smartest baseball move when he hasn't pitched since the incident. He's an alluring figure because he has the potential to be great as we saw in 2011, but there's no way of knowing how he will pitch once he gets back on the mound or how long he will stay on the mound for before sustaining another injury.
Anibal Sanchez
The third of the four pitchers, Anibal Sanchez, could easily end up being the best overall signing. Over his career Sanchez has been an afterthought in discussion, be that because he can be unpredictable or because he was on the same team as Josh Johnson for a majority of his career. Even this offseason, where Sanchez could be the second place prize to whomever doesn't get or can't afford Zack Greinke. This is despite the fact that over the last three years Sanchez is 16th in all of baseball in fWAR, above noted pitchers like Josh Johnson, James Shields, and Yovani Gallardo, yet he still doesn't get the attention he deserves.
Also over those three years Anibal Sanchez's walk rate has consecutively fallen as has his flyball rate, while he has increased his groundball rate and maintained a relatively consistent strikeout rate. All of those facts are positive trends towards Sanchez's free agent case, but once again the problem lies in the pay. In FanGraph's contract crowd sourcing they found a 4 year $52 million contract to be most likely and other estimates have been similar. While an average annual value of $13 million doesn't leave a whole lot of room for surplus value, it's a bargain in comparison to the deals given to C.J. Wilson and Mark Buehrle last winter.
Dan Haren
The last of the four pitchers, Haren may perhaps be the most interesting of the bunch. Following the apparent fallout of a deal that would have sent him to the Cubs in exchange for Carlos Marmol the Angels declined their $15.5 million option and instead opted to pay the $3.5 million buyout. Within the confines of that deal there has been an abundance of speculation as to why the deal fell through. Some speculate that it was the medicals, other the money, but either way it stems from Haren's inability to perform to the level he did in the past.
The often cited reasoning behind Haren's ineptitude during the 2012 season has been his drop in velocity, but as Michael Barr rather excellent noted in a recent FanGraphs article there's quite a bit more to it. Barr referenced Haren's declining velocity, but also his declining swinging strike rate, Zone% as well as his increasing Contact%. While Haren's numbers in September are encouraging and a case could be made for signing him, the inherent risk of signing a player coming off a down season and an injury could outweigh the potential that Haren offers. Ultimately, like many free agent deals, it will come down to years that Haren is offered. If there is a team out there willing to give Haren a four (or even five?) year contract then there's no point in trying to beat that. On the other hand if Haren is looking to re-establish some value on a one year deal then give him all you can and hope for the best.
On the whole, the Blue Jays appear to willing to go after one of these bigger name free agents, but with a budget that still looks limited to a certain extent due diligence will be key in the decision to sign any free agent pitcher, or position player for that matter. As it stands the Blue Jays don't have a whole lot of room for error if they plan on running an efficient payroll with the hopes of a playoff berth. Perhaps unfortunately, as @cantpredictball has taught us, this game we love is inherently erratic, but the key is to squeeze out every bit of added probability for success possible. The Jays can be successful in that manner, but we must wait and see.

Sanchez would more than likely be the best signing of the bunch. It's beating out all the other teams that will be interested in his services I'm worried about.
http://houseofthebluebird.com/ Matt_HBB
I agree, despite the price tag that comes along with him he seems like he could be a good value on a per year basis. However as you noted with other teams getting involved, especially with the recent rumour that the Dodgers might be interested, the years could get crazy and that is where my hesitance lies.
http://twitter.com/KennedyMLB Kris
Sanchez will get lit up at the Dome like he did last yr and his previous numbers Pitching in AL Central is a big difference to AL East. He will not be coming to Toronto. Too much 10M+/yr
http://houseofthebluebird.com/ Matt_HBB
In his career Anibal Sanchez has pitched at the Rogers Centre once, not exactly a sample size worth worrying about. As well while I'm more than willing to acknowledge that pitching in the NL or the AL Central isn't the same as pitching in the AL East, Sanchez has been one of the better pitchers in the NL over the last few years. There will surely be some regression when moving to one of if not the best division in baseball, but Sanchez isn't a chump…he's a good pitcher.
Lastly I try not to buy into GM comments too much, but this offseason AA has been pretty adamant that the Blue Jays have money to spend and intend to spend it. $10 million/year is a lot of money, but it may not be completely out of reach of the Blue Jays' budget.
http://twitter.com/KennedyMLB Kris
Guess you will be disappointed when none of the guys you listed are signed by Jays.
http://houseofthebluebird.com/ Matt_HBB
We can't determine anything until the offseason is over at which point we can evaluate all the moves the Jays made, but I'm sure I won't be "disappointed"…even if the Jays don't sign anyone. I didn't make this post to express that the Jays will sign all or any of these players, but instead to provide what I'd hope to be a thought provoking opinion and analysis regarding players who were rumoured to be linked to the Jays.
http://twitter.com/gideonturk G.S Turkey
LOL. $15 million in payroll increase…The time before the Marlins trade sucked
http://houseofthebluebird.com/ Matt_HBB
It's quite remarkable, how quick things have changed that's for sure…$15 million verrrry quickly became $35 million. They always said the money was there for a big acquisition(s), I just don't think I ever believed them.

Product Highlights
The CMC-CH from Steinberg is a USB based channel controller, part of six USB-powered CMC micro controllers that can be individually combined to create a custom-made Cubase or Nuendo control desk. The adoption of the icons and color scheme found in Cubase allows the user to immediately feel at home with the lightweight, compact and effective control unit.
The controller is the hardware equivalent of the Cubase channel section. Sixteen illuminated rubber buttons, one green-lit rotary encoder, and a high-resolution touch fader provide hands-on control over the major channel-related functions in Cubase and Nuendo, including record arm, solo/mute, pan and volume. Red LED lights provide visual feedback of the controller's current position. Eight buttons can hold a second, freely assignable function that is accessed by pressing the Shift button.
The multi-colored function buttons are an intuitive and time-saving alternative to using the computer mouse or the keyboard. Access VST instrument settings, solo and mute tracks, bypass EQs, sends and inserts or freeze a channel. The Channel Select button allows for browsing the entire Cubase mixer, while the rotary encoder provides direct access to the pan setting and provides visual feedback via the integrated LED light.
Note: On the PC, Cubase AI is Windows 7 only.

There will we sit upon the rocks And see the shepherds feed their flocks, By shallow rivers, to whose falls Melodious birds sing madrigals. There will I make thee beds of roses And a thousand fragrant posies, A cap of flowers, and a kirtle Embroider'd all with leaves of myrtle. A gown made of the finest wool Which from our pretty lambs we pull, Fair linèd slippers for the cold, With buckles of the purest gold. A belt of straw and ivy buds With coral clasps and amber studs: And if these pleasures may thee move, Come live with me and be my Love. Thy silver dishes for thy meat As precious as the gods do eat, Shall on an ivory table be Prepared each day for thee and me. The shepherd swains shall dance and sing For thy delight each May-morning: If these delights thy mind may move, Then live with me and be my Love.

Provo • Make it two in a row for Austin Kafentzis.
The standout sophomore quarterback on the Jordan football team used his arm strength to secure his second consecutive Class 5A state championship in the javelin Saturday at the state meet.
His throw of 179 feet was more than enough to earn him the win, but he entered the competition with higher hopes. Kafentzis holds the state record of 199 feet, 5 inches, and he wanted to be the first one to crack the 200 feet mark Saturday. A host of factors at BYU, including bad weather, made an impact on his ability to throw, but he made no excuses.
"It's all about the mindset," he said. "You have to be in the right place at the right time. I just wasn't all the way there. I should have practiced a little better this week and worked on better technique. I'm going to work for it next year and get better.
Kafentzis credits the strength program at his school as well as his teammates, who always provide good competition.
"It's fun throwing against [them] in practice," he said. "Everyone's working together, and we're always competing. That's what helps us to get better."
Christian Shaver took fifth to join his teammate Kafentzis on the podium. But Shaver's main event was the discus, where his throw of 165 feet, 1 inch earned him the state championship Friday.
Lavontae Calhoun won the shot put to complete the Beetdiggers' sweep of the throwing events.
But it was Davis that left with the team title to complete the sweep, the same day the school won its third straight girls' title. The Darts won two of the three relays (medley and 400), and Marcus Daley defended his title in the long jump.
Foreign exchange student Jacopo Spano, a junior at Woods Cross, might need a bigger bag when he returns to Italy. He won four titles Saturday (100, 200, long jump and 400 relay) to help the Wildcats bring home the 4A team title.
Desert Hills senior Brad Wulfenstein proved nothing would stand in his way by capturing the 3A title in both hurdles events. His finish helped carry the Thunder to the team title. Stansbury's Dallin Diderickson failed to qualify for the finals in the sprints last year, and he wasn't happy about it. He said he's taken his running more seriously over the last year and worked harder than before. The extra dedication paid off. He won the 100 and 200, and anchored the Stallions' championship 400 relay squad.
Park City star Ben Saarel ended his prep career in style. After setting the state record in the 1,600 on Friday, he did the same thing in the 800 with a time of 1 minute, 51.13 seconds to barely scratch by his old record of 1:51.91.
Richfield dominated on its way to the 2A team title, while Panguitch won the 1A championship.

Right now, if someone follows various Authors, he/she gets updates on a multitude of items that may or may not be of interest. Since many authors have various Public Collections, each usually featuring items with similar functionality or visual style, it would be great to have a way of following updates on these specific collections.
Simply put, we could have a "Follow Collection" button on every Public Collection, and on the comments area of the author dashboard, we could have a text update when a new item is added. This way, at least for buyer-only accounts, instead of looking at a blank grey space, buyers that were following collections relevant to their needs would be looking at highly targeted items.
Thanks for the suggestion Sightsignal, I'll pass it along.

Christian Health Ministry
The Christian Health Ministry of White County (CHM) is a 501C-3 non-profit faith based holistic outreach care ministry with a mission of promoting the physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness of the medically disadvantaged in White County.The CHM is located at 104 East Vine Street in Searcy and is open Sunday afternoons, 1 – 5 p.m. New patients need to arrive at the clinic in person by 11 am, and only the first two patients meeting the qualifications will be seen that day. The "medically disadvantaged", as defined by the CHM Board of Directors, are those who
- Find themselves unable to pay for medical treatment,
- Have no private medical insurance,
- Are not receiving Medicare or Medicaid and
- Whose family income does not exceed clinic standards.
Those seeking services at CHM have an opportunity to make a $5 donation. No one is turned away from obtaining services because of inability to pay.
Services Provided
Staff and Operation
CHM is staffed entirely by volunteers and operates through donations from individuals, churches & businesses in our community. The heart of
our ministry is the volunteers that make this ministry happen. On a typical Sunday, CHM is staffed by 1-2 Physicians (or 1 Physician - 1 Nurse Practitioner); 2-3 Nurses; 2 Waiting Room Greeters; 2 Office Workers, Pharmacist & 1 Pharmacy Technician. During the week numerous volunteers continue to carry out the ministry mission. All volunteer medical staff are board-certified and hold current Arkansas licenses to practice in the state. In 2004, CHM volunteers provided 3,000+ hours of service.
Our Guests
Over 2,000 visits by patients seeking medical care, medication or counseling occurred in 2004. Majority of the patients that use CHM are considered "chronic" patients, reside in Searcy, are employed and are between 20-40 years of age.
CHM'S desire is to meet the basic needs of the whole person (physically, emotionally & spiritually) and to share the love of Christ by serving others. Spiritual counseling & teaching is available, but not required, to those receiving care. Our hope is that, through the services offered by CHM, the "medically disadvantaged" citizens of White County will have an opportunity to attain wellness of the body, mind and spirit. Through these wellness opportunities, we will be able to improve the overall quality of lives and assist in the overall development of better families, employees and citizens of our county.
For more information on how you can be a Christian Health Ministry volunteer, feel free to contact Ron Baker.

Hitfix conducted its annual poll of TV critics, and I was one of those participating. You can see the consensus list here. I am always leery of these things, much as I am about best-movie lists, because time and obligation keep me from seeing everything I want. There are some shows my colleagues rated highly like "Broadchurch" which I liked in what I saw, but didn't see enough to add to my list. And I might have considered "Inside Amy Schumer," among others, for the new show list -- if I had remembered it. That said, six of my top 10 were consensus top 10 -- but I am content with even the choices that the poll as a whole ranked low.
In any case, here's how my list of best shows looked, with the corresponding HitFix number in parentheses. I have added some notes I made when I was assembling the list.
1. Mad Men (6). A great, dark season for a show that began when the American dream still seemed possible but has gone ever more deeply into how America failed both the dream and the dreamers.
2. Breaking Bad (1). So often we ask shows that are ending to come up with a great finale. BB went beyond that, to provide one of the great next-to-last episodes, next-to-next-to-last episodes and so on.
3. Masters of Sex (5). Brilliant performances and a terrific consideration of the changing mores about sex.
4. Orange Is the New Black (2). Another fine cast, another meditation on our our condition, not only on prison but on the nature of crime in this country. (Only as I was finishing this list did I realize how many shows I picked were in some way about the American condition. Hence ...)
5. Justified (12). As a character piece, terrific week in and out. As a view of a part of America that is often ignored, even better.
6. The Americans (7). How could we come to care so much about two people bent on bringing down our society -- and doing awful things to accomplish it? Great writing and acting.
7. Scandal (19). The most bitterly cynical show on network TV, and all the more enjoyable because of it.
8. The Good Wife (4). Smart, sexy, well-dressed -- and always a pleasure to watch.
9,. The Big Bang Theory (23). Still my favorite TV comedy.
10, Girls (44). It troubles me, it stays in my head long after I have watched, its characters can be infuriating -- and that's one reason why it's so good. (Another thread in this list: a lot of seriously flawed characters.)
Hitfix also askedf for a list of the best new shows for this poll. Looking at the list above, you can guess a lot of it. Here's my 10, again with the consensus numbers.
1. Masters of Sex (2)
2 Orange Is the New Black (1)
3. The Americans (3)
4. House of Cards (6)
5. Sleepy Hollow (10)
6. The Blacklist (12)
7. The Bletchley Circle.(54, and I was the only critic who voted for it)
8. Almost Human (30)
9. Orphan Black.(5)
10. Bates Motel (18)

There is no doubt that audiences today are very much in love with movies that are related on wedding themes and therefore directors and producers are keen on spending money when they find some better wedding based scripts. Recently, movies like Band Baajaa Baaraat have done well and so have Tanu Weds Manu which received good response especially in North India. Now director Anand Rai has gone ahead and announced that he will be directing the sequel for the movie as well because he believes that audiences would be interested in knowing what happens ahead after the marriage.
According to the reliable sources, the rights for the movie are still with the story writer Himanshu Sharma although the director claims that the rights for the movies are with Eros Entertainment. The director said that they have been searching for a nice pair that can do justice to the script and therefore they decide to go for Shahid and Genelia but the director decided that the audience will not be able to make connections with the movie and therefore it has been decided that Madhavan and Kangna will reprise their roles in the sequel as well.
As per the story the movie will be shot entirely in a foreign country because Madhavan is a NRI doctor and therefore when they get marry they move abroad. However, certain domestic issues keep coming up making their life miserable but they still stick to each other. Many sources claim that the director is also working on the third installment of Tanu Weds Manu which will work like a prequel to the original Tanu Weds Manu and will showcase how the life of Manu and Tanu was before Manu comes down to India for marriage proposal. This is really going to be an interesting concept so hope things go well with the director in the future.

What do Ford Financial, IBM, and Victoria's Secret have in common? Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB). As the industry standard for platform-independent reusable business components, EJB has just become Sun Microsystem's latest developer certification. Whether you want to be certifiable or just want to learn the technology inside and out, Head First EJB will get you there in the least painful way. And with the greatest understanding.You'll learn not just what the technology is, but more importantly, why it is, and what it is and isn't good for. You'll learn tricks and tips for EJB development, along with tricks and tips for passing this latest, very challenging Sun Certified Business Component Developer (SCBCD) exam. You'll learn how to think like a server. You'll learn how to think like a bean. And because this is a Head First book, you'll learn how to think about thinking.Co-author Kathy Sierra was one of Sun's first employees to teach brave, early adopter customers how to use EJB. She has the scars. But besides dragging you deep into EJB technology, Kathy and Bert will see you through your certification exam, if you decide to go for it. And nobody knows the certification like they do - they're co-developers of Sun's actual exam!As the second book in the Head First series, Head First EJB follows up the number one best-selling Java book in the US, Head First Java. Find out why reviewers are calling it a revolution in learning tough technical topics, and why Sun Chairman and CEO Scott McNealy says, "Java technology is everywhere...if you develop software and haven't learned Java, it's definitely time to dive in "Head First."And with Head First book, you don't even have to feel guilty about having fun while you're learning; it's all part of the learning theory. If the latest research in cognitive science, education, and neurobiology suggested that boring, dry, and excruciatingly painful was the best way to learn, we'd have done it. Thankfully, it's been shown that your brain has a sense of style, a sense of humour, and a darn good sense of what it likes and dislikes.In Head First EJB, you'll learn all about:
Kathy Sierra has been a master Java trainer for Sun Microsystems, teaching Sun's instructors how to teach the latest Java technologies. She is the founder of one of the largest java community websites in the world, javaranch.com. She is also a key member of the development team for the Sun Certified programmer exam and has developed dozens of applications to demonstrate Java technology.

EJB 2.0 Spec is Outdated!
Gosh, outdated 5 years after it was released? Who'd have thought...Even if the exam isn't current any longer there are still many applications using EJB2 and thus many people having to maintain those applications.For them this is still an excellent book.It's not perfect. IMO it's a bit too specific to the implementation of Sun's appserver, but given the original purpose of the authors that can't hardly be held against it.

This is a handy get your feet wet book to the EJB world. There were numerous typos/errata instances, which made me wonder, at times, if they were in a rush to get this thing out. I wish they had a book that covered the EJB 3.0 spec released almost 2 years ago! The SCBCD people state the following: Please note that Sun will discontinue purchase of this exam effective February 29, 2008. They are referring to the exam regarding the EJB 2.0 specification. If I had it to do over again, purchasing this (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9781933988344/index.html) or this (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/entjbeans5/index.html) seems like a better/safe choice, since 3.0 should be simple enough to learn without the Head First experience.

After having read about the Head First books on the internet, I felt that it would be most appropriate to buy Head First EJB and Head First Servlets & JSP since I wanted to learn some Java EE.However, I ended up spending more time reading the different specifications (which was a good thing), in order to verify and clarify the things in the books.The books are full of errors (take a look at the errata for this book, for instance) and though there are aspirations to thoroughly explain things, with many illustrations (which is good), I were left with the feeling wondering if the authors themselves had really understood what they were trying to teach.With a solid reasoning and less errors, the style of the book wouldn't have bothered me. Now it seems like more effort was put into the aesthetics, rather than the contents. With this in mind, the style soon becomes tiring.Another significant drawback is the fact that this book is not available in electronic form - quite old-fashioned and very annoying when wanting to do some reading while "on the road".

Excellent learning
By ak
Made learning EJBs an interesting affair....who'd have thought that was possible :) I benefited hugely reading this book when I didn't know much about EJBs...and when you're reading this book (or any book from this series) ...you feel like the book can read your mind and explain anything that bothers you at the right time. I'll buy every book these guys write. Huge fan!! :))

j2ee RI? what to use in today's tools?
Hi all,I like the HEAD FIRST series.HOwever, I am having a problem finding what RI is(I guess an J2EE app server, but I can't find it on the net to download). Or even when I compile my 2 interfaces and AdviceBean class I get 8 errors, package javax.ejb does not exist, EJBObject, SessionBean, SessionContext....What am I doing wrong here? I have tried installing earlier versions of SDK and J2EE versions but problems are still there.ANy help would be appreciated.
By Alvaro
Head First is arguably the best of O'Reilly book series. With an easy, colloquial language and image-based examples and explanations, it makes simple to understand the almost understandable EJB 2.0. technology.I own the EJB, Java and Design Patterns books and I'm very satisfied. The only "but" maybe would be the time they're taking to publish an EJB 3.0 edition.
Design Pattern
By amit
It is just a wonder, It is just a miricle, Thank Orielly, Expect some more books on Java technology which follow the same pattren as this book, I despriatly need this way for learning UML.Thanks once againAmit

Need to upgrade this book
By Mian
main concern at the moment: It needs to be updated. Now Java 1.5 is up and nobody is using 1.3 anymore.So this is my request to O'Reilly, please update this book.
By Astha
I am a beginer in EJB and found this series really perfect for a beginer.

Persistent Coxsackievirus Infection: Enterovirus Persistence in Chronic Myocarditis and Dilated Cardiomyopathy

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Enteroviral infection of the heart has been noted in a significant proportion of cases of myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy. The presence of enterovirus RNA at stages of disease after acute infection and correlation of enterovirus replication with worse clinical outcome suggests continued replication of the virus is involved in the progression of the disease. This finding is mirrored by the murine model of coxsackievirus B3 myocarditis, in which virus persists through the evolution of the virus to a terminally deleted defective form which persists in the myocardium. Studies of the mechanism of induction of myocarditis by coxsackievirus B3 require assessment of the effects of alterations of the immune response upon virus persistence in this form. As expression of viral proteins in the heart have been shown to generate significant impairment of cardiomyocyte function and promote generation of dilated cardiomyopathy, the role of virus persistence is likely to include direct effects of viral replication as well as induction of inflammation in the heart. Factors that control the extent of cardiac infection with terminally deleted enteroviruses and the relative roles of continued immune response of the virus vs viral modification of cardiac function need to be measured to find effective therapies for the human disease.

I focused on BMW and Porsche offerings. I drove the X3 35i last year and found it to be a little boring so I concentrated on X5 variants. I drove the X5d, X5 35i, X5 5.0, X6 3.5 all nice. I had fond memories of the X5d steering and given the very generous year end incentives the diesel was clearly the early favorite. However, when I dove it this past month I found the diesel clatter although muffled obtrusive. Moving on to the X5 35i nice but nothing compelling. I tested a M Sport 5.0 and liked it, but found the pervasive sense of weight off putting. Moreover, although the vehicle conveyed a sense of tank-like invulnerability the ride was stiff and less than compliant. On to the X6 I thought it might be fun but my German shepherd hated it. At the end of the day I thought I might drive home in an X5 5.0 M Sport. I came close but did not pull the trigger thinking about the dollars out and the very real possibility that I would take a significant hit in terms of depreciation given the X5's looming replacement - I decided to postpone the decision and ride over to my "friendly" Porsche dealer.
I was able to closely examine a CayenneD and CayenneS. In general , the Cayenne exuded freshness and athleticism. I found the interior modern, sporty, and very comfortable. At $62K the CayenneD was a compelling value vs. the X5d especially given the somewhat dated persona of the BMW. Although the Porsche diesel was a great package overall genetically there must be something in my DNA that keeps me from turning a deaf ear to the diesel clatter Porsche moniker not withstanding. In general, I found the Porsche to drive "small" as opposed to X5 variants that drove "large". I found the CayenneS at $80K to be the better overall choice compared to the BMW X5 5.0 and was tempted but thoughts of my previous experiences servicing my Porsches stopped me. My Porsche experiences have been the stuff of nightmares as opposed to the trouble free and responsive care I have received by my dealer in the metro DC area- Passport BMW, and by BMWNA.
So back to Passport to buy a X5 5.0 but I just was not feeling it wow a bunch of money for a nice vehicle but I still had serious reservations. I was paralyzed .out of desperation asked to drive an X3 knowing it was a waste of time. My Passport buddy brought me an X3 to drive ..Hmmm ..M Sport Carbon black .not bad but I know I hate the very bland interior? ...nope nice interior design that exudes a sense of sporty purposefulness and finely executed design details . The sports seats coddle my 6'3" frame just right Well .ll I know the thing drives like an economy car? ...nope tight responsive and fast a feeling of connectivity and lightness pervades feels like the same guys who designed my M3 had a hand in fine-tuning this X3. OK, I know carrying capacity has to be compromised? no again the X3 is cavernous.
I was really impressed with the X3 35i M Sport but I was not sure if this was passing infatuation induced by the fatigue of testing all the others - I decided to think about it especially since the loaded X3 I would order would be more than an X5d after discounts ..After thinking about it I pulled the trigger and ordered an X3 35i M Sport Carbon Black/Oyster. Rarely do we have the opportunity to order a "perfect" vehicle in terms of our needs and desires. I feel very privileged to have found such a vehicle in my M3 and now I think I may have found another in my coming X3 M Sport. Fast, responsive, capable, comfortable, athletic, maybe the perfect compelling suv in terms of my needs and desires.
BTW my German shepherd loved it!
Nick has good taste period. He knows that you choose wisely for you/him. The F25 is a smart choice, especially since the E70/E71 models are due for replacement soon. Capo keep in mind that the F25 has its quirks too - DI Clatter, and other minor nuances (lumpy idle at times) similar to the F07 - albeit this is an inline Turbo 6 as opposed to the N63 TTV8 . That being said I am 11,000 miles in and no issues - if anything it's running better than when I originally took delivery.

The year is 2025 and the following is an account of how the UK higher education sector fared following the 2012 fees rise, a period now referred to euphemistically as 'the era of continuous deferral': "Many universities were confronted with disturbing symptoms, which could not be remedied by available management techniques and which had no precedent in recent experience. For some universities the market demand began to level off and could not be restimulated even by the most energetic marketing and promotion. For others the demand began to decline in the face of substitute products offered by new technologies. Still others saw their traditional markets invaded by vigorous foreign competitors."
Believable? I think so. Yet these words were actually written four decades ago to describe the situation faced by big US corporates (coal, motor, steel) in the face of unprecedented competition from overseas. All I did was substitute 'university' for 'firm', a heresy sure to lose some readers – but stay with me. The author was Igor Ansoff, ex-vice president at the RAND corporation, maths graduate and distinguished business school academic.
Ansoff examined how US industry responded to the changing economic environment and market conditions in some detail. His conclusion, summarised in his 1965 book Corporate Strategy was that in times of discontinuous change – such as that faced by American industry in the 1950s – the key to survival was for management to embrace and promote entrepreneurial behaviour.
Ansoff recognised that the university (sorry, firm) relates to its environment through both its operational and strategic behaviours. Where the required change is discontinuous-strategic then entrepreneurship requires elevation from a secondary to primary role. But a critical entrepreneurial trait is the necessity of failure. Sir Ken Robinson made this point strongly in his 2006 critique of creativity in schools: "If you're not prepared to be wrong you'll never come up with anything original." If you do nothing else today, watch his Ted talk.
None of us would be teaching in universities if we had failed our exams. By definition our managerial culture and reward systems are borne from a conveyor belt process of passing more and more, and failing (in an academic sense) less and less. Here lies a massive contradiction at the heart of the entrepreneurial university. For entrepreneurs to make expert decisions they must first make the mistakes that allow them to explore new, creative approaches to problem solving.
Peter Simms summarises this dilemma well in his Harvard Business Review blog, The No. 1 enemy of creativity: fear of failure. Rarely as managers are we gifted the single biggest learning experience valued most by entrepreneurs: permission to fail. Add to this a widespread fear of falling foul of the various regulatory bodies circling overhead and it's hardly surprising senior teams err on the side of caution and stay risk adverse.
I believe this is broadly where the UK higher education sector is now. If so, then management, frankly, needs help adapting. And there is acknowledgement of this. The Entrepreneurial University Leaders Programme, run by Universities UK, the National Centre for Entrepreneuship in Education and the Said Business School is designed specifically to help senior managers develop a more entrepreneurial approach.
But are universities capable of adapting their teaching and learning strategies and management styles to accommodate higher degrees of entrepreneurial behaviour even if they want to? Can managers learn to move away from the current drive to fulfil goals and search instead for new opportunities? Will leaders inspire people to accept change rather than just do more of the same? Are we really prepared to reward creativity and initiative rather than past performance? Together this is the antidote prescribed by Ansoff to counteract the fever brought on by external change. My guess is that for some the medicine may be too strong.
Encouragingly there is a renewed emphasis and recognition on teaching and learning side. Those who consider 'enterprising QAA' an oxymoron should take a look at its recent report, Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Education, which calls for greater innovation in both across the curriculum.
Our answer is to embed more fully our social entrepreneurship agenda at undergraduate level, not through formal routes but in providing students space to fail. One example is our We Do Ideas project, where freshers bid for seed capital of up to £2000 to launch a social enterprise that will literally live or die in the market place. It is this kind of experiential learning that Colin Mason, professor of entrepreneurship at the University of Strathclyde, argued for recently.
There will be those in academia who want absolutely nothing to do with any of this, either in the lecture room or dished out from above by senior managers. Of course public universities in the UK are not the same as American firms in the post war years. But I believe we can learn something from Ansoff that could help the sector to rewrite the future.

Not to be disrespectful, but the word you're looking for is "poll". No offense intended.
This is a discussion on Student Debate at school "Pro Concealed Carry Side" Help with ideas within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; I had a parent approach me today for their kid to interview me for a school debate.

I had a parent approach me today for their kid to interview me for a school debate. He has taken the Pro Concealed Carry side of the debate. I've known the kids father for about 20 years. I'm licensed to teach concealed carry. If any one can help with some ideas? One idea I had was to construct a poll??? I would really like info on statics where criminals have commited crimes against people who carry and those who don't. I heard of a pole where questions were asked of criminals like, "If you knew someone had a firearm would you rob them?", "If you were sure they didn't have a firearm would you?", "If the person might have a weapon, would you?". Any articles where concealed carry help someone out of a situation. Any help is appreciated.

A CCW is like a parachute; if you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.
John Stossel did a report on carrying firearms that included interviews with violent felons (if I recall correctly). In that report I think he references a study showing that criminals are more afraid of armed civilians than they are of the police.
"The flock sleep peaceably in their pasture at night because Sheepdogs stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
It's actually a pretty good video.
Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation. - Rule #23 in the USMC rules for gunfighting.
The LEO who gave instruction for my concealed permit used the following analogy that people could relate to...
He asked the class a question....If you were a BG looking to rob people and you went to a mall where no one had a gun how long would it take you to select a victim to rob? What if you went to a mall where 75% of the people had a gun how long would it take you to find someone to rob? Which mall would you pick to rob?
"Confidence is food for the wise man but liquor for the fool"
John Lott writes quite often on self-defense/concealed carry. His articles would definitely help. I think he also wrote a book.
Gary Kleck is another good author for CC research. Here are a few to get you started.
I prefer to live dangerously free than safely caged!
"Our houses are protected by the good Lord and a gun. And you might meet 'em both if you show up here not welcome son." Josh Thompson "Way Out Here"
I did a speech on this, and gun control in general, a few years ago. I found that if you search the NRA site, you can find statistics as reported by the FBI pertaining to crime and guns. I found that in both US states and countries outside the US, in places where guns were illegal, crime was significantly higher than places were civilians were permitted to have firearms.
One thing I would stress is to be tactful. Consider the audience: in a school setting, the majority of the faculty will be pro gun-control. I gave my speech in front of a college class with a very liberal professor and found the best strategy was to use facts as much as possible and be as non-threatening and even-tempered (for lack of a better word) as possible.
Some of the arguments from the professor and class were utterly ridiculous - ie: I stated something along the lines of "if everyone carried a gun, crime rates would go down." The professor chimed in and said, "if you can say that, I can say everyone should learn karate" - but the trick is to stay calm and respond back logically - "how many times have you heard of a mugger coming up in a dark ally and screaming 'HII YA!'?" OK ok..... maybe that wasn't logical, but it got a laugh out of the class

In California's Budget Crisis, a Political Rorschach Test
As California drowns in a sea of red ink, its budget problems are serving as a political inkblot test. Why does California have a $26 billion ...
As California drowns in a sea of red ink, its budget problems are serving as a political inkblot test.
Why does California have a $26 billion hole in its budget that has placed it on the brink of default? Why are its finances in such bad shape that it went begging to Congress and the Obama administration for loan guarantees, a manner of bailout, to save it? Democrats and Republicans have different explanations -- explanations that just happen to support their preexisting notions about the size of government.
California, you see, is either paralyzed by anti-tax ideologues or a cautionary tale as to what happens when tax-and-spend liberals run wild.
A California Republican is likely to start by pointing out that the state has unusually high income and sales tax rates. If government can't live within its means with those taxes, the argument goes, clearly the state has too much government.
The problem, Republicans say, is excessive public employee benefits that politically powerful unions have secured. California, for example, has the nation's highest teacher salaries and prison guards have enjoyed generous contracts.
Republicans also claim other excesses in spending and governmental regulation. Even as the state was suffering through fiscal problems last fall, voters approved $10 billion in bonds for high-speed rail. This was the latest in a long line of ballot measures that obliged the state to spend more.
And, many Republicans will say that illegal immigrants are contributing to the problem. California, according to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security estimate, has close to 3 million undocumented residents.
Democrats see something entirely different. To them, the original sin was California's Prop. 13 in 1978, the initiative that famously reduced and capped the state's property taxes. Prop. 13 didn't just limit a source of revenue. It also limited one of the most stable sources of revenue. The state, Democrats say, is reeling from boom and bust cycles that come from dependence on less stable income and sales taxes.
Democrats also note other structural factors. Budgets can't pass without a two-thirds vote in the legislature, which has meant that, despite Democratic dominance, anti-tax Republicans generally have been able to thwart new revenue sources.
California also has the three strikes rule, which means that convicts sometimes receive long, costly sentences for minor infractions. Finally, many Democrats will note that legalizing and taxing marijuana, something Republicans resist, could bring in as much as $1 billion a year for the state.
There elements of truth to both these arguments, but both sides, with their contradictory views, can't be entirely right. This picture, unlike a Rorschach Test inkblot, must be of something. You can judge for yourself which side is seeing things as they are.
However, neutral observers should be able to agree on one key point. The vastly different evaluations of the situation from Democrats and Republicans are themselves part of the problem. California has become a place where too many politicians fail to see shades of grey. Politicians of both major parties have struggled to compromise.
Last year, the state didn't pass a budget until months after the constitutional deadline, exacerbating the pain of the budget cuts. Some child care centers in the state closed, not because of budget cuts, but rather because there wasn't a budget at all.
This year, legislators came up with a budget in February, but this budget proved out of touch with reality. Now, the fiscal year has begun and the budget gap hasn't been closed. The delay has, for technical reasons, actually expanded the gap by another couple of billions of dollars.
Republicans refuse any tax increases and Democrats want large tax increases. California legislators have to make painful cuts and they're doing it painfully slowly, in large measure because both Democrats and Republicans are so wedded to their partisan views of the problem.
The good news is California's legislative redistricting will be in the hands of an independent commission for the first time in 2011, thanks to a voter initiative. That commission seems likely to produce more competitive districts, which could produce a legislature with fewer ideologues by 2013. That's assuming, of course, that California can make it to 2013.

Few questions. Are there still some available? I would love to get an order placed.
Also, as far as the HIDs go, does the ballast come built inside of the headlight or does the ballast sit on the outside of the headlight?

Areas of Expertise
I do not consider myself an expert at anything, though if I know more about something that anyone else in a room, then I accept the role of teacher. My area of study as an economist was development, what we called "rice-paddy economics," the economics of poverty. Here at Saint Joseph's College, I am focusing on teaching undergraduates.
PhD - University of Notre Dame, 1991
Master's - Economics, University of Notre Dame, 1985
BA - Psychology, University of Notre Dame, 1979
Professional Background
Upon receiving my doctorate, I worked in computing for 10 years at the University of Notre Dame as the Director of Arts and Letters Computing. I was there at the beginning of the desktop and networked computing revolution. Upon leaving Notre Dame, I worked as a full-time musician for 10 years wearing the many hats that a small businessman has to wear: singer, guitar player, songwriter, producer, web designer, accountant, marketer, agent, teacher, and band leader. And so, I am also a small businessman. In 2010, I returned to economics and joined the faculty at Saint Joseph College.
It is a very interesting time to be thinking about and teaching Economics: The rise of India, China, and Brazil, the 2008 financial collapse of the United States, the ongoing debt crisis in both Europe and the United States, the emergence of economic growth in Sub-saharan Africa. Wow! While I am curious about a range of economic issues, I am focusing my energy right now on teaching. With my "spare" time, I am rehearsing, writing songs, recording, performing, and producing music.
Your Position at SJC
I am Saint Joseph College's only economist. I teach the courses in the major: Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Development, Great Ideas, Money and Banking, and others. I am currently the the advisor to Enactus, a business club that is dedicated to making the world a better place.
What motivates you to teach?
My passion is learning . . . anything. I teach music and Economics with the same philosophy: teach students how to learn. I am less concerned with specific knowledge than with demonstrating a love of learning. Once someone knows how they learn and what they want to learn, then they are able to pursue their own interests in their own way.
Fun Fact
When I am not in my office, you will often find me at the Rec Center (the gym).
What is your favorite thing about SJC?
This is a magic place. The students are amazing people.
Anything else you'd like to add?
My grandfather would often tell me to . . . "Never let the facts get in the way of a good story."
Get a jump start on your career and have your resume ready to go at graduation.
Small colleges offer you personal attention; SJC professors do more for you—they serve as mentors.
The Core Program is all about you and your role in the world.
You get more deeply involved at SJC, so you get more meaningful experiences that prepare you for career and life.
Get real-life experience and become an excellent communicator.

Selenium-Rich FoodsThe mineral selenium promotes the abundance of glutathione peroxidase an antioxidant that is being heavily researched for its role in prostate health.
Surgical removal of the prostate or radiation treatment has been found to double life expectancy compared to those who do not receive either of these treatments. It has been found that patients who receive radiation or a prostatectomy surgical removal of the prostate gland even with the most aggressive non-metastatic prostate cancer have a life expectancy of more than 14 years. The study was funded and partially overseen by the National Institutes of Health although the supplement manufacturer provided all of the saw palmetto and placebo capsules. Apoptosis prostate gland dre refers to a way that cells can die. Cancer growths are characterized by an uncontrolled development of cells that do not follow the normal procedures of cellular differentiation of regular healthy cells.
TURP is performed without cutting and access to the prostate is through the urethra. An instrument is inserted which removes any obstructive tissue easing the pressure thus relieving the BPH symptoms. TURP is a relatively safe operation.
The approach to different diseases has undergone a remarkable transformation and doctors opt for the most suitable treatment regardless of the origin of the treatment. One such chronic disease is the enlargement of the prostrate due to carcinoma or other causes. However Urination Bowel Movement Same Time tumours which are not driven by the hormone have been harder to treat.
Additionally Medicare is constrained from considering cost in coverage decisions for new technologies; this may be the root cause and a more potent driver of rising costs than the use of such technologies by a limited number of practitioners. As my father has survived prostate cancer along with several of other male relatives I can assure you that prostate cancer is highly treatable. Having a solid support system in place making sure your family is aware of your diagnosis and educating yourself will go a long way toward ensuring that you are dealing with prostate cancer in a positive manner.
The nurse asked me to disrobe and sit on the table as she prepared to remove the catheter. My wife was with me so I had to be brave. Finally the nurse cut the tube and deflated the balloon in my bladder.
This is a modern form of treatment in hospitals primarily as an outpatient procedure. Heat is directly into the urethra with the help of a local anesthetic.

This massage will detect prostate that's enlarged. The one who does this massage will show you the issues connected with your prostate. You are able to know the existing issues related to prostate gland using this method therapy. Nonetheless it's not advisable to do this massage on the individual affected with prostate cancer because the cancer cells may spread with other areas of body. The lining present

During the initial stage of the disease there are hardly any symptoms. But once the cancer reaches the an aggressive stage patient starts to develop severe symptoms. The two prescribed drugs inasteride (Proscar) and terazosin (Hytrin) are the only two approved by the FDA to prevent prostatic proliferation (the growth of latest prostate cells that cause prostate BPH in men over 50). The earlier you're diagnosed the better it is for your life sex life and survival.
