Re: explanation need!
We aren't changing the context, just adding the Developer` context to the context path. Apparently it's only in order to use Developer`ClearCache[], which clears the symbolic and numeric caches (so that FullSimplify doesn't give the cached result). So one could just as well do
Block[{RootReduce}, FullSimplify[Solve[1 + x^2 + x^3 == 0]]]

I already PM'd The BOSS with further explanation (and he has successfully replaced the lower window moulding as well! Good going--another cleaner e39 on the road!).
But I should add an addendum to this write-up based on a few additional emails I've received. I should have expounded more on removing the main wiper arm. Once you remove the cover of the driver's side arm, remove the top bold. Underneath that is a gold "pressure" bolt that holds the mechanics to the whole shebang together. I don't know of any specialized tool that can assist in removing this bolt. You need a set of heavy duty grips, like large quality pliers, and a rubber mallet. Careful using a metal hammer, but that can be used as well. The bolt is VERY sturdy and can take a lot of punishment. Basically, you need to beat the crap out of the bolt (but carefully, if that makes sense) to loosen it up. Alternate between whacking it with the mallet and jiggling with the pliers. Anti-seize solvent may help. Have patience--it WILL loosen and come off.
Also, a tricky part is replacing the wiper arms in a proper "rest" position after you've installed the new cover. It's a little tricky, and may take between one and three tries to get it right. Put the wipers in the "rest" position and reinstall the wiper bolt including the pressure bolt, but not TOO tight since it is likely you will need to remove and reinstall again. Don't replace the plastic covering quite yet. Once in place, run the wipers and turn off. The wipers will likely rest a bit too high. Remove the bolts, tighten up and try again. After two or three times, they will be back in position. Have some patience and you'll be happy. Enjoy your nicer looking window mouldings!

Operator: Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Emerson's Investor Conference Call. During today's presentation, by Emerson management all parties will be in a listen-only mode. Following the presentation, the conference will be open for questions. This conference is being recorded today, Tuesday, February 7, 2012.
Emerson's commentary and responses to your questions may contain forward-looking statements, including the Company's outlook for the remainder of the year. Information on factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from those discussed today is available at Emerson's most recent Annual Report on the Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.
I would now like to turn the conference over to our host Patrick Fitzgerald, Director of Investor Relations at Emerson. Please go ahead.
Patrick Fitzgerald - Director, IR: Thank you, Luke. I am joined today by David Farr, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Emerson; and Frank Dellaquila, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Today's call will summarize Emerson's first quarter 2012 results. A conference call slide presentation will accompany my comments and is available in the Investor Relations section of Emerson's website at emerson.com. A replay of this conference call will be available on the website after the call for the next three months.
I will start with the highlights of the quarter as shown on Page 2 of the conference call presentation.
Fourth quarter sales were down 4% to $5.3 billion, caused by several near-term challenges. A supply chain disruption caused by the Thailand flooding impacted results by approximately $300 million. U.S. telecommunications carriers deferred investments, awaiting the outcome of potential industry consolidation. HVAC OEMs in the U.S. and China pushed inventories very low on economic uncertainty, and there was broad European economic weakness.
Operating profit margin declined 220 basis points from the prior quarter to 13.2%, which was primarily driven by volume deleverage. Earnings per share of $0.50 was down 21% from the prior year quarter. Operating cash flow increased 4% versus the prior year quarter to $334 million. Our balance sheet strength continues to enable us to invest in growth opportunities. Despite the pressure on Q1 from numerous near-term headwinds, our outlook for 2012 remained favorable.
Next slide, the P&L summary. Net underlying sales were down 4%, with negligible impact from currency, acquisitions, and divestitures. Operating profit declined 18%, as the magnitude of sales decline and resulting unfavorable mix drove substantial volume deleverage. Net earnings were down 23%. We repurchased 4.8 million shares for $226 million and EPS declined 1% in the quarter.
Next slide, underlying sales by geography; gross performance was affected by the previously mentioned challenges, underlying sales in U.S. decreased 4%. Europe was flat. Asia was down 8%, with China down 13%. Latin America increased 3%. Canada increased 6% and the Middle East and Africa was down 4%, resulting in underlying and net sales down 4%.

Ethanol, taxes and swipe feesPosted by Norm Schultz on January 28, 2014
The battle over corn ethanol in our fuel rages on. And if you haven't fired a shot, today is your day because tomorrow will be too late.
Here's the scoop: The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed the first-ever reduction in the amount of corn ethanol being blended into gas for 2014. It proposes to keep ethanol levels for 2014 at 2013 levels. It's reasonable, sensible and justifiable. But you'd think they shot the sheriff by the outpouring of objections pouring in from the ethanol producers decrying EPA's common-sense proposal.
Today is the last day EPA is accepting comments on the proposal. The marine industry, and boaters in general, must make their voices heard by expressing support for the EPA's proposal. Yes, on this one, boating supports EPA.
Please, right now, take just a few minutes to email the EPA in support of the proposal. The National Marine Manufacturers Association has provided an easy-to-use link for you. Just go to this website and follow the instructions. Most of the work is done for you. Just say you support the EPA proposal.
I shake my head at how politicians and bureaucrats can claim to support America's small businesses while giving us the shaft. The latest comes out of the Affordable Care Act. It's an insurance tax on health premiums that clearly targets small business.
This insurance tax, effective Jan. 1, is called a "fee" by the IRS. "If it walks like a duck . . ." well, you know. It functions like an excise tax on premiums. But not on everyone: check out the exclusions and guess who is left.
In November, the IRS published regulations that exclude "any entity that is a self-insured employer to the extent that such employer self-insures its employees' health risks." Fact: since about four of five employers with more than 500 workers along with nearly all union-negotiated health plans are self-insured, they are all conveniently exempt. So is insurance of "government entities," such as original Medicare.
Bottom line: most gold-plated public, private and labor plans have been exempted. So the tax (I mean "fee") burden will clearly fall on those who work for small businesses, are self-employed and on individuals.
This blows me away. The administration claims the "fee" will be picked up by the insurers. Yeah, that's about as likely as today's teenagers craving Barry Manilow albums. Why, even the Congressional Budget Office says the tax will be "largely passed through to consumers in the form of higher premiums" and "would ultimately raise insurance premiums by a corresponding amount."
This is blatant political selectivity, nothing more. Moreover, it's estimated this tax at $100 billion over 10 years will top even the Obamacare taxes on medical devices and drugs combined.
Swipe fees
Talking about battles raging on, the great "swipe fee showdown" between the nation's retailers and the Federal Reserve took place 10 days ago in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The three-judge panel listened to arguments in the Federal Reserve's appeal of Judge Richard Leon's July 31 decision finding for retailers and striking down the debit card swipe fee rules.
According to some observers, the judges appeared to favor the Fed during the hour-long appearance. The three-member panel seemed to push back against the retailers' argument that the Fed's fee cap could only incorporate certain costs to banks that were identified by Congress.
"You're climbing a really steep hill … none of us buy that," Judge Harry Edwards said. That aside, the panel did appear more open to discussing whether each of the particular costs the Fed allows banks to charge merchants was, indeed, appropriate. The court will now consider a ruling without a timetable. At stake could be billions of dollars banks would have to return to retailers and billions more in future fees charged.

Has anyone ever used this shampoo for their dogs?
I've actually been using Mane n' Tail on my own hair for about 10 yrs ... I have very fine hair that doesn't grow and find my hair texture and growth to be vastly improved when I use this. It's outperformed the most $ high end shampoos. But I've never used it on the dogs before. Normally, I use either Miracle Coat before shows or TropiClean for maintenance. They both give nice coats but I find that the results wear off VERY rapidly. So when I ran out of dog shampoo a few weeks ago I decided using my bottle of this on them would be fine just as a temporary fix .........
A month later and I've now been washing all the dogs with this like a madwoman! I am SOOOOO amazed!!! The first dog I bathed had some dull coat issues from the change of weather, and all the supplements I was using didn't do squat. He has not had a flake of dandruff, in fact his coat seems twice as thick and so glossy it looks like he was just bathed yesterday This seems to be holding true with the other dogs as well. Had a few very dirty Beagles, lol, and I was impressed with how well their coats turned out after one use w/ the Mane n' Tail. I actually think I'm going to be using this along with the conditioner for shows!
Just thought I'd pass this along becuase I am REALLY impressed, never been so happy with a dog shampoo before, lol.

Indonesia: Poised for Rapid Growth?
Here's a quick quiz: What country produces 60% of Mattel's (MAT) Barbie Dolls, limited edition false eyelashes worn by J.Lo and Madonna, and nearly two thirds of all the world's zippers? No, the correct answer is not China, but Indonesia. The world's largest Muslim country and its third-largest democracy, Indonesia has become a model of religious tolerance that is admired by the Bush Administration. The country has also been able to prevent the escalation of terrorist attacks since the Bali bombings of 2003 and an explosion at the Australian embassy in 2004. After the end of the 30-year authoritarian rule of President Suharto in 1998, Indonesia has established democratic elections. It has even achieved peace in rebel Aceh province, devastated by the tsunami in 2004.
Trade Minister Mari Pangestu is eager to convert that political success into economic growth. "Indonesia is the world's biggest untold story," she boasts. Since taking her post with the election of President Sisilo Bambang Yudhoyono in 2004, Pangestu has been campaigning to boost Indonesian exports beyond traditional resource sectors involving mining, oil and gas, and forest and agricultural products. "We are trying very hard to diversify our product mix, including the services sector," says Pangestu, an ethnic Chinese Christian who holds a PhD in economics from the University of California at Davis.
It won't be easy. Foreign investors enamored of the growth stories in China, India, and Vietnam can easily overlook Indonesia. Foreign direct investment was just $5.9 billion last year, down 33% over 2005. That compares with $69.5 billion for China. The country's economy still relies heavily on its rich hoard of natural resources. Its vast reserves of gold, nickel, bauxite, coal, and timber, not to mention oil and gas, have enabled the country to benefit enormously from strong commodity prices of recent years. Last year exports grew 17.5%, to $100.8 billion. The economy grew 5.6% last year and is on track to expand by 6.3% in 2007, according to a forecast by Bank Indonesia, the central bank. That's respectable by standards of developed countries but not so impressive compared to the double-digit growth rates in China or the 8%-plus growth in India and Vietnam.
Risk of Being Steamrolled by China
And while Indonesian exports have continued to climb, reaching a 15% year on year growth during the first eight months of 2007, Pangestu warns that more than half this growth owes its success to higher prices for palm oil, coal, and minerals such as nickel, and that the country needs to focus aggressively on attracting investment to non-resource-based industries.
Like other low-cost-of-labor countries such as the Philippines and Mexico, Indonesia risks being steamrolled by the Chinese manufacturing juggernaut, as well as the emerging one in Vietnam (BusinessWeek, 12/16/06).
Although Indonesia has benefited to some degree from a trend among garment and shoe customers such as Nike (NKE) to diversify their supply sources to avoid total dependence on China, it faces tough competition from the Vietnamese. Nonetheless, Pangestu bravely insists that there's room for Indonesia to develop. "Countries have to change their strategy to find a niche so as not to compete directly," she says. "Indonesia can develop a niche because of its artistic capability and cultural heritage."
Special-Order Eyelashes for J.Lo and Madonna
That's where faux eyelashes come in. One of the country's leading eyelash manufacturers is Royal Korindah. The company, which is owned by a Korean family, produces about 14 million sets of eyelashes per year for companies such as MAC cosmetics of Toronto and Japan's Shu Uemura, which outfitted singers Jennifer Lopez and Madonna with special-order lashes made of mink and red fox fur.
The company's 2500 employees, virtually all women in their twenties, thread each pair of lashes by hand for about $57 per month.
Chief Operating Officer Cheung Shu Fong says Korinda tries to avoid direct competition with Chinese rivals by "emphasizing the highest quality fancy styles" such as special order Shu Uemura Diamond-studded lashes for the Material Girl. Sales have doubled in the past five years, to about $5 million, and the company expects 20% growth in 2008 once a new factory that will increase capacity by 20% comes on stream.
Another area the government is pushing to promote is the animation and film industry. One promising example is Castle Production, a Jakarta-based studio that has been doing animation since 2000. With 100 artists, 20 of whom do 3D computer animation, Castle got its first overseas contract for a 13-part animated series called Carlos Caterpillar commissioned by Dallas-based Sunny-side Entertainment. The show has aired in the U.S. and Spain. Castle is now working on a 26-part series subcontracted by an Indian company on behalf of a French client. "Our business is going really well and growing," says Maria Tjhin, Castle's general manager.
Flexing Its Muscles in Animation
That said, even Tjhin admits that it's tough convincing prospective clients that Indonesia's animation industry is up to global standards. And it doesn't help that Castle is competing with bigger rivals throughout the region. From India to Vietnam to Hong Kong, animation studios across Asia (BusinessWeek, 10/15/07) are trying to produce TV shows and movies for Western audiences.
Not all of Indonesia's problems come from competition. The country's labor codes make it more costly to lay off workers than to keep them. That is a big turn-off for foreign companies. "You can't sack anyone without paying a lot of money and going to court," says a foreign lawyer with a local firm, who requested anonymity." Indonesia's legal framework is also a huge obstacle to foreign companies. The slow pace of reform of the legal system continues to deter investors, large and small, from coming to Indonesia. "It may continue to be the country's Achilles' heel" says Rajiv Louis, head of investment banking for UBS (UBS) in Jakarta.
Another problem for investors comes from the decentralization of government in the past decade. "Everything used to be very top-down, but now with decentralization it is difficult for central government to coordinate with provincial governors and difficult for the governors to coordinate with subprovinces," says Mirza Adityaswara, director of equity research at Credit Suisse in Jakarta. "The situation has become investment-unfriendly, but this is a long-term learning process for Indonesia."

Detailed Accident Report
Submitted By: Angus M. Thuermer-JH News
Place: Northwest of Jackson
State: MT
Country: USA
Fatalities: 1
Summary: 1 snowmobiler caught,buried and killed
From the Montana Standard - Butte
Well-known snowmobilier feared dead
JACKSON -- An avalanche occurred northwest of Jackson Wednesday and a widely known snowmobile hillclimber was missing and feared dead.
Beaverhead County officials, including the coroner, were called to the scene and unavailable to confirm whether David Shepherd, 37, survived. Shepherd operates Shepherd's Garage in Jackson.
Unofficial sources at the scene said Shepherd was with a group of other snowmobilers, but no other injuries were reported.
The avalanche occurred in the Beaverhead Mountains of the West Big Hole near Rock Creek, north west of Jackson.
Shepherd has earned numerous titles in sanctioned snowmobile hill climbing competition over the years, according to the Web site of snow mobile manufacturer Polaris.
From the Montana Standard 1/19/01
Avalanche claims top snowmobile rider
By Perry Backus, of The Montana Standard
WISDOM -- Among the tight core of snowmobilers who travel around the West
each year to see who can reach the top of a hill
first, David Shepherd was known to be among the best.
The office of the Shepherd's Garage in Jackson is filled with plenty of
huge trophies that proved his prowess in the snowmobile
world. He'd earned presti gious sponsorships from com panies like Polaris
with demonstrations of skill and courage racing up steep
On Wednesday, deep in the backcountry of the West Big Hole, Shepherd's
luck ran out. He triggered an avalanche near the top of
the Montana Idaho divide in the Rock Creek drainage, northwest of
Jackson, and despite what officials called a `` picture-per fect
rescue effort,'' the 36year-old Shepherd died.
Shepherd was snowmobil ing with six others Wednesday afternoon. The party
had split in two -- four men were behind the lead
group that included Shepherd. The men decided to take a run up a ridge at
the end of the drainage.
`` Everyone in that group had gone up that same route dozens of times,''
said Beaverhead County sheriff's deputy Jake Heinecke.
Heinecke was the first law enforcement officer to reach the scene.
One at a time, the men made the run. Shepherd was the third -- `` they
told me he wasn't even working very hard '85 he was about
seven-eighths of the way up when the avalanche broke,'' said Heinecke.
When the snow on the slope sheered off, Shepherd's snowmobile sank to the
ice-covered ground and began sliding backward down
the hill. Heinecke said the men watched as Shepherd grabbed hold of the
machine and slid down with it.
The men kept track of Shepherd as long as possible. They then quickly
flipped their avalanche beacons to `` receive'' -- to receive
transmissions from Shepherd's beacon -- and started a search.
Heinecke said it took a minute or so to find the signal from Shepherd's
bea con. Two or three minutes later, the men had located
the snowmobile with probe poles. And 20 minutes later, `` at the most,''
the men found Shepherd buried under about six feet of
snow, he said.
`` They found the sled first and then they discovered his helmet,'' he said.
While one man tried to resuscitate Shepherd, the others worked to enlarge
the hole that would allow them to pull him from under
the snow. Another man rode up a nearby ridge and used his cellular phone
to call for help.
`` As far as I can tell, this group did absolutely nothing wrong,''
Heinecke said. `` It was a picture-perfect avalanche search and
rescue '85 if David had been buried under two or three feet of snow he
might be alive today.''
Heinecke said the men with Shepherd on Wednesday are experi enced riders
who know the area well.
`` David had the name and fame, but this whole group was made up of very
strong riders,'' Heinecke said. `` It was n't like he went
riding in there with six people who didn't know what they were getting
themselves into.''
The men were not `` high marking'' when the avalanche broke, said
Heinecke. High marking is the practice of roaring up a hillside
and turning around just as the snowmobile starts to bog down. The contest
is to see how high one can climb before retreating.
`` In my mind, they were just going up and park on the ridge to get a
view,'' he said.
Heinecke, who worked for a time in the Big Hole and had snowmobiled with
Shepherd, believes almost all of the people who
snowmobile into the rugged backcountry of the West Big Hole take
avalanche beacons, shovels and probes.
`` Most people who ride back in there go prepared,'' he said.
But this year, the snowpack `` is the worst I've ever seen it,'' said
Early snow melted and turned to ice. What came later never developed a
base and remains loose and unbonded on top of that ice
layer, he said.
`` This is one of those winters when people should run their dogs or
maybe go cross country skiing in the flats somewhere. That's
about it,'' said Beaverhead County Undersheriff Jay Hansen. `` The snow
conditions are just going to get worse.''
Heinecke said the slab avalanche was probably 200 yards wide and per haps
the same distance long.
`` It was the biggest one that I've ever seen,'' he said.
For people like Corey Markovich of Butte, the idea that an avalanche
could catch a rider like Shepherd is almost unbelievable.
Shepherd had helped Markovich get started on the hillclimbing circuit
years ago, and he remembers Shepherd's office filled `` with
trophies nearly as tall as I am.''
`` My first reaction to the news was '85 no way. Something had to be
wrong,'' Markovich said. `` In so many cases, it's riders who
don't know enough or can't ride hard enough or some other excuse.''
`` With David, there are no excuses,'' he said. `` He was a good a rider
as I've ever known. He was an awesome rider '85 who's done
this all his life. He was a well-respected and great hillclimber.''
`` The scary thing is does this mean there are no more excuses?'' said
Markovich. `` It finally caught up with him. Does that mean
it's going to catch up with all of us?''
Services for Shepherd are 1 p.m. Sunday in the B.W. Lodge gym at
Beaverhead County High School in Dillon.

Welcome » IT Booklets » Outsourcing Technology Services » Board and Management Responsibilities
The financial institution's board and senior management should
establish and approve risk-based policies to govern the outsourcing
process. The policies should recognize the risk to the institution
from outsourcing relationships and should be appropriate to the
size and complexity of the institution.
The responsibility for properly overseeing outsourced
relationships lies with the institution's board of directors and
senior management. Although the technology needed to support
business objectives is often a critical factor in deciding to
outsource, managing such relationships is more than just a
technology issue; it is an enterprise-wide corporate management
issue. An effective outsourcing oversight program should provide
the framework for management to identify, measure, monitor, and
control the risks associated with outsourcing. The board and senior
management should develop and implement enterprise-wide policies to
govern the outsourcing process consistently. These policies should
address outsourced relationships from an end-to-end perspective,
including establishing servicing requirements and strategies;
selecting a provider; negotiating the contract; and monitoring,
changing, and discontinuing the outsourced relationship.
Factors institutions should consider include:
The time and resources devoted to managing outsourcing
relationships should be based on the risk the relationship presents
to the institution. To illustrate, outsourcing processing of a
small credit card portfolio will require a different level of
oversight than outsourcing processing of all loan applications.
Additionally, smaller and less complex institutions may have less
flexibility than larger institutions in negotiating for services
that meet their specific needs and in monitoring their service

Massachusetts Senate: Whoever Wins, It's an Upset
A few thoughts on Massachusetts: -While everyone acknowledges that a victory by Republican Scott Brown would be an incredible come-from-behind win, looking back at the ...
A few thoughts on Massachusetts:
-While everyone acknowledges that a victory by Republican Scott Brown would be an incredible come-from-behind win, looking back at the primary results helps quantify what he's overcome. Democrat Martha Coakley faced a tough four-way primary that included a congressman and two free-spenders. Brown faced one insignificant opponent.
So, Coakley won the Democratic nomination with 47% of the vote. Brown won the Republican nomination with 89% of the vote. Yet Coakley still received more than twice as many votes as Brown (311,548 to 146,057). Overall, 668,926 people voted in the Democratic primary and 165,007 voted in the Republican primary. Coakley started out with a massively larger base of supporters -- and the primary was just last month!
Now, you might make the case that Brown's primary numbers understated his support because Republicans didn't have much incentive to turnout. He faced only nominal opposition. Then again, three weeks ago you would have been forgiven for calling Brown himself nominal opposition to Coakley. What a difference a campaign makes.
-That said, calling this potentially the biggest upset in political history is a stretch. There are two ways that an election can be an upset. One is if a candidate wins in a place that, at the outset of the campaign, he or she appeared to have a distinct disadvantage (e.g. Bush winning Tennessee in 2000, Obama winning Indiana in 2008). The other way is if a candidate wins when, in the waning moments of the campaign, he or she appeared certain to lose (e.g. Hillary Clinton winning the New Hampshire primary).
A Brown victory would qualify as an upset on both these standards. Republicans don't usually win Senate races in Massachusetts. A few weeks ago he appeared certain to lose.
Still, on both standards, we've seen much bigger upsets in just the past few years. No one thought Greg Ballard could be elected mayor of Indiana in 2007. Even on Election Day this fall only the most optimistic Republicans could have expected Ed Mangano to be the next Nassau County Executive. Some of Democrats' wins for U.S. House in 2006 (Dave Loebsack, Nancy Boyda, Carol Shea-Porter) were complete surprises.
Likewise, while Massachusetts is quite unforgiving turf for a Republican running for federal office, political candidates have won tougher places. Chet Edwards, a Democratic congressman in a very Republican Texas district, faces more difficult terrain every time he runs. Republican Joseph Cao won in a New Orleans House district that gave President Obama more than 70% of the vote and, on Election Day, pretty much no one gave him a chance.
The stronger argument is that a Brown victory would be one of the most consequential upsets in American history. Has a president's signature initiative ever so clearly hinged on the results of a single election?
-You only have to look at the polls, though, to know that Brown is now a favorite to win. The Pollster.com average puts Brown ahead by 7 points. That creates a strange situation. If Brown wins, it's a huge upset. But, if Coakley wins, it's also a huge upset. (The way that's possible is that I'm equivocating on the meaning of "upset.")
A Coakley win would also be one of the most consequential upsets in American history. It would be the vote that saved health care reform.
-I'm surprised that Gov. Deval Patrick hasn't taken more blame for the anti-establishment mood in Massachusetts. And, I wonder whether a Coakley defeat would lead to calls for him to not run for reelection.
-Counties don't mean very much in Massachusetts. They're large, don't have general-purpose governments and don't all have distinct identities. That said, I will be watching for results from Middlesex County.
Middlesex County is Massachusetts' most populous county, with close to 1.5 million people. It's to the North and West of Boston, including cities such as Cambridge, Somerville, Lowell and Framingham, as well as Lexington and Concord.
The reason I'm interested in Middlesex County is that it tends to vote similarly to Massachusetts as a whole or just slightly more Democratic. In Mitt Romney's 2002 win, he took 49.41% of the vote in Middlesex County and 49.77% statewide. In 2008, Obama won 63.98% of the vote in Middlesex and 61.80% statewide.
Before she was elected attorney general, Coakley served as Middlesex County District Attorney. Some of her actions in that role were controversial, but she's counting on a reservoir of support from the people back home. If Brown wins Middlesex County, he's very likely to win the election.
-Finally, as a baseball fan, allow me to defend Coakley for calling Curt Schilling a Yankee fan. Schilling might as well be a Yankees fan because, at this point, the Yankees and the Red Sox are indistinguishable from one another other than their choice of footwear. They both have bloated payrolls, insufferable fans and championships built on PED-using players.
But, fans of the other 28 teams can take heart knowing that it's a lot more fun to be the underdog than the frontrunner. Just ask Martha Coakley and Scott Brown.

Should the state help pay to pick up Anchorage inebriates?
Request may go on city's legislative wish list
ANCHORAGE – Some Anchorage Assembly members are questioning whether the city should have to shoulder the entire cost of a program that picks up public inebriates from downtown streets and brings them to the Anchorage Safety Center.
The assembly is considering adding a $500,000 budget request to the city wish list that will go to state legislators this session. The money would go to help keep the safety program running 24-7.
A study found that up to half of the public inebriates who use the city services most often are not actually from Anchorage. That has some calling it a statewide problem that Anchorage shouldn't have to pay for alone. Mayor Dan Sullivan said he supports asking the state to chip in.

Left full review on other apps. Very good experience. Only con was that this place rents out as weekly and monthly. Took away from the overall experience watching residents walking around in nightgown, boxers and dirty work clothes. Ganging out in the laundry room. Have some dress code.

Oct. 26, 2013
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee freshman Laurence Guevremont spent the most time on court of any Lady Vol on Saturday, but in the end, her efforts paid off.
Guevremont was unable to close out the match in the second set but refocused in the third to beat Ohio State's Ferny Angeles Paz 6-2, 5-7, 6-1 to finish second day competition at the Tennessee Fall Invitational inside Goodfriend Tennis Center.
Coupled with a lengthy doubles match -- which included a 27-minute service game -- Guevremont was on court for nearly four hours during the afternoon.
Guevremont and junior Joanna Henderson headlined UT's second day of the home tournament. Tennessee won two of six singles matches against Ohio State and two of three doubles matches against North Carolina State.
Henderson again provided a bright spot at the top of the lineup for the Lady Vols for the second day in a row. With late breaks of serve in both sets, she beat Gabriella DeSantis of Ohio State 7-5, 6-4 at the No 1 position.
"We had a couple people not feeling well today so we had to change our lineup a bit, but everyone stepped up and did a good job learning on the fly," Tennessee co-head coach Mike Patrick said. "Our doubles was better than yesterday and Jo again had an outstanding performance against another really good player from Ohio State.
"Ohio State had a lot of really good freshmen that competed well today, so it was a good match for us and a good measuring stick of where we are and where we need to get better."
In other matches, sophomore Tiffany Tavares went down at the No. 2 spot to Miho Kowase 3-6, 6-0, 6-1. Freshman Brittany Lindl lost to Sandy Nihaus at No. 3 by a 6-4, 6-3 score. Freshmen Victoria Olivarez fell 6-3, 6-0 to Grainne O'Neill at No. 5, and freshmen Ashlee Boles lost to Noelle Malley 6-1, 6-0.
The Lady Vols had to alter their Saturday lineup with the absence of Eve Repic, who was unable to play because of illness. Repic, a semifinalist at the USTA/ITA Ohio Valley Regional Championships earlier this week, had played No. 3 singles on Friday.
In afternoon doubles, Tennessee won two of three doubles matches against N.C. State.
Tavares and Olivarez were first off the court, defeating Sophie Nelson and Christy Sipes 8-3 at the No. 3 position. Moments later, Henderson and Caitlin Williams won their second consecutive match at the No. 1 position 8-1 against Nicole Martinez and Taylor Zaytoun.
Guevremont and Lindl played the most discussed match of the doubles session, though it ended in an 8-6 loss to Joelle Kissell and Rachael James-Baker. Guevremont served a 27-minute game at 6-6 before the Wolfpack duo broke and served out the match.
"She's a young freshman whose learning a lot," Patrick said. "She's got a lot to learn but she's learning a lot and putting herself in a position to win. Now it's just a matter of executing and finishing those chances."
On Sunday, Tennessee faces Ohio State in doubles at 1 p.m. and Kentucky in singles to follow.
"We've got one more event where a couple of people are going to play next week," Patrick said. "Over the last couple of weeks we've got to see how everybody is competing, what we need to work on, where we've improved, where we still need a lot more improvement. We're going to do a lot of private individual work between now and when they go home, and then it's up to them over the holidays to get prepared and come back in January ready to go."

Need a part for an air compressor
I have the same air compressor as the one in the pic. I got it for free but it needs a part that i cant find anywhere. It is the t piece that comes out of the tank and connects to the compressor and regulator. In the pic if u look at the pic, if you look at the first gauge, its under it on the side of the tank. You can see a copper tube going into it. Its a central pneumatic. Anyone know where i can get this part? http://131auction.com/auction/uploaded/172/1720297.jpg
Nothing connects to the right side. Just the top and left side. The thing is that the hose that connects to the top is male and half the size of the pipe that connects to the left, which is female.
So all you need is an elbow? Again, spend some time in the plumbing department. Adapters are easy.
Its not an elbow. Theres 3 inlets. I from the compressor, one to the tank, and a small one to the pressure regulator.
I had to look on my simmilar Central Pneumatic compressor ( 1 size bigger ) to look at the fitting. and there is a small copper tubing going into it for the unloader, and then what I think is 3/8" inverted flare going to the regulator. the other side is capped off and looks to be 3/8" NPT.. between the hardware store and the auto parts store in the brake fittings section, you should be able to make up what you need... you could get the P/N and search HF's website and order the part. probably cost a couple bucks but it'll have to come off the boat, so it would take a while
Thank you. K think i maight me able to rig something up.
Use a tee with fitting adapters

The Chiefs chose Tyler with the 19th pick in the third round, the No. 82 overall selection in the draft. Tyler was the sixth defensive tackle picked in the draft and the first from the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Tyler, who was a true senior for the Wolfpack in 2006, is the first NC State player picked in the 2007 NFL Draft.
In 2006 Tyler appeared in all 12 games, with 11 starts, and he totaled 49 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, and a forced one fumble. He was a first-team All-ACC selection.

I just had a chance to try out a resistance band to do assisted pullups, and it worked great! Now I'm all psyched to get one. The gym where I used it had bands that looked exactly like the ones in this article:
They're called Iron Woody bands (I blush just typing the name!). I tried several of them, and I think the blue 1 1/8" one will work the best for me. Unfortunately you can't buy just one. I don't want a pair, and the sets come with heavy-duty bands that make pullups way too easy for me.
I found a similar one here: http://bit.ly/8UIGYt
Thoughts? Recommendations? Other suggestions? Thanks! I'm SO excited to be able to do pullups!

However, after the upshift the engine is barely turning more than 1,500 RPMs and there just isn't much torque available, so the engine seems to bog or hesitate. Once up the torque curve a bit, things are fine again.
Why is this so noticeable in the Focus? Conventional automatics have a torque converter to multiply the torque produced by the engine and smooth out unevenness in power deliver. The Focus has none; the clutch can help with this at launch, but not in subsequent gear changes. So the solution to me seems to be live with it or drive it more aggressively.
I disagree on this one. They do can change that buy changing shift schedule. Conventional trans will smoothly down shift and go to lower gear, after that it all will go into up shift mode. I believe they can reprogram DCTs individually to the drivers comfort.
I have exactly same issues and grinding 1-3. Dealer put me on the Fords hotline, got call back, as my dealer said: ford wants them to reset and relearn trans. Cause luckily I drove another Focus with 24k miles with tech an car drove smooth, I have much less miles. So good thing we agreed that something fishy with my DCT. I hope next time we get somewhere with repairs.

My Carolina Experience: Jake Bernstein
Zoya Johnson, GoHeels.com
Jake Bernstein, a member of the UNC men's fencing team, is a student-athlete who takes Carolina's outreach potential to another level. In 2009, at just 15 years old, he and his sister Simone started their own non-profit site. The site, then called StLouisVolunteen.com, was dedicated to helping teens find volunteer opportunities in St. Louis, Mo.
They created the site in an effort to give teens a more accessible and central source for their needs as volunteers, since most of the available options catered to people 18 and up.
That venture was so successful that the two went on to create VolunTEENation.org, which now helps teens all over the country to find volunteer opportunities in their area. The site has grown from one that simply listed the opportunities in an area to one that has over 8,000 opportunities across the nation. VolunTEENation.org also gives users the ability to access grant and scholarship listings.
If the success of VolunTEENation.org isn't enough to make the Bernstein siblings notable in your book, in 2012 Simone and Jake Bernstein were named to the Forbes "Top 30 under 30" Social Entrepreneurs List. The two made the cut for the prestigious list alongside names like Lady Gaga and LeBron James and all of this was accomplished before Jake hit 20.
Since setting foot on campus, Bernstein's drive to help those in need and those without equal opportunity has only been fueled by the potential of the Carolina community.
"The resources available in Chapel Hill for aspiring entrepreneurs are really fantastic," says Bernstein. "I'm working on a project with three friends - we are building the first online giving website through e-commerce."
That project is a website, still in the works, called CommuniGift.com. The site is based on the targeted giving concept that provides people in need things they would normally go without were it not for the help of volunteers or concerned contributors. The site will make giving easy, meaningful and more overarching than ever before by giving the visitor a chance to read about a family, give a gift, and then stay in touch.
Since walking on to the Carolina fencing team in his freshman year, Bernstein has been able to utilize Carolina Outreach to foster even more connectivity between athletics and the community.
"Sports are a fantastic way to bring students and community members together," Bernstein says. "Sports camps with differently-abled kids represent a great way to promote an inclusive, healthy and safe environment. Kids of different ages and all abilities are able to relate to sports. Being a Tar Heel athlete also provides a platform to connect with community members and lead outreach projects.
"Last year, I worked with local autism organizations and Carolina Outreach athlete volunteers to help lead a basketball and fencing clinic. We were able to bring together 50 kids and 50 athletes to offer kids a one-on-one sports clinic for kids on the autism spectrum."
Another incredible opportunity Bernstein has become a part of this year is the Chancellor's Student Innovation Team. This group, which helps to shape programs and policies as part of Carolina's Innovation Initiative, meets monthly to discuss projects and solicit feedback from other students. It has given Bernstein another space outside of athletics and the classroom to connect with even more amazing Carolina students.
With so much going on in Bernstein's life, athletics provides not only a built-in support system and friends but acts as a centerpiece of stability. Thanks to the Richard A. Baddour Carolina Leadership Academy, athletics also provides him with the tools to grow in all aspects and under many circumstances.
"The fencing team has certainly been a positive influence on my college experience," he says. "The senior leadership on our team has helped me grow - they did a fantastic job of keeping the team atmosphere positive. I gained so much this past year as part of the Rising Stars program in the Leadership Academy. In addition to helping me develop as a leader, the team has provided a network of friends that have shaped my experience in college."
As a student who came in with a notable story and a vision for change, the fact that Bernstein's story as a student-athlete is not only one of success but one of progress speaks to the opportunities the campus and community have the ability to provide.
"Coming into UNC, my primary goal was for high achievement in the classroom," says Bernstein, who is spending the summer in San Francisco, working as a software engineering intern. "Upon walking on to the fencing team, I set my sights on improvement. UNC has offered a clear path to help achieve my goals. I strive to achieve these goals every day, and I continue to set new goals based on the opportunities UNC offers. "
Bernstein's experience speaks to the ability of the people in the Carolina family to come together in so many different ways in order to make great things happen.

Wayne County Sheriff Jeff Cappa confirmed that an Indianapolis couple died after their car caught fire on I-70 Sunday afternoon.
According to the sheriff, the car was traveling westbound on Interstate 70 just west U.S. 35 intersection just after 3 p.m. Sunday when the car caught fire.
There were four occupants in the vehicle and one them was using oxygen. One of the other occupants lit a cigarette causing the oxygen to ignite.
The car pulled into the median and it became fully engulfed in flames.
Two of the occupants, identified as Ronnie and Deborah Pratt of Indianapolis, both 62 years old, were unable to get out of the burning car and were killed.
The other two people were able to get out but did suffer injuries. One was transported by air ambulance to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. The other victim was transported to Reed Hospital in Richmond where they were treated and released. The names of the survivors are not being released pending identification of the two victims who died.
The westbound lanes of I -70 were closed at the U.S. 35 exit for almost three hours. The eastbound lanes were closed briefly while the fire was being put out.

Buying HVAC Equipment Without a Middleman
Updated Oct 24, 2016
By Chris Brooks and Gary Sprague
Buying your new HVAC equipment – whether an air conditioner, boiler, furnace or similar product – directly from an online HVAC retailer represents a substantial cost-saving opportunity. HVAC contractors often build a substantial markup into the price that they quote consumers to compensate for some of the costs of running their business (i.e. sales calls, running load calculations, etc.). There are a number of companies that can offer you substantially lower prices if you purchase your equipment directly, without having a contractor purchase it for you.
However, buying consumer-direct equipment can also present a set of potential problems:
- How do you determine what size equipment to buy?
- How do you determine which brand/model of equipment to buy?
- How do you have equipment delivered to your house?
- How do you keep your equipment warranty intact?
- How can you find a qualified contractor willing to install the equipment you purchased?
- How much will it cost to buy and install the equipment?
In some situations consumers may be best-served by getting competitive bids from several contractors, and having the winning contractor purchase and install the unit. However, it is usually possible to save a substantial amount of money if you are willing to take on some additional legwork yourself. This article outlines the issues you should consider if you are thinking about buying your equipment from a consumer-direct retailer.
Determining what Size Equipment (i.e. AC or Furnace) to Buy
Equipment sizing affects both the comfort of your home, and the ongoing costs to operate your new furnace or air conditioner. If the equipment is too small, it won't adequately heat or cool your house. If it is too large, it will cycle on and off more often than necessary. This cycling is inefficient and will unnecessarily increase the cost of running the unit. You want to make sure that your furnace or air conditioner is the right size. The only accurate way to determine the appropriate size is to perform a load calculation.
If you choose to purchase from a consumer-direct retailer, you have several options:
- You can hire an HVAC contractor to perform a load calculation for you. This is an excellent solution, providing you know a contractor who is willing to work piecemeal with you on this project.
- You can purchase load calculation software and perform the calculation yourself.
- You can rely on an estimate of the appropriate load, i.e. buy a unit the same size as the unit you are replacing, or use a load calculation "rule of thumb." FurnaceCompare recommends that you do a full load calculation – rules of thumb often provide poor results.
Determining which Brand or Model to Buy
People often choose which furnace or air conditioner to buy based on brand names with which they are comfortable. An alternate approach is to look at the warranties offered by the different brands. (You can find a summary of warranty information on each brand profile in the left toolbar.) The brands that provide longer standard warranties typically do so because they know that their risk of costly repairs is minimal.
A third approach is to examine the lists of the most highly rated series of HVAC equipment. FurnaceCompare generates these lists from the thousands of reviews that homeowners and contractors submit to the site:
- Top 10 Boilers
- Top 10 Central Air Conditioners
- Top 10 Furnaces
- Top 10 Heat Pumps
- Top 5 Water Heaters
Having Equipment Delivered
HVAC equipment is heavy and bulky, not the sort of thing you can just throw into the trunk of your car and bring home. Unless you have access to a heavy-duty truck with a lift gate, this means you'll need to have your equipment delivered. Most online retailers provide free delivery. They also bear responsibility for any damage incurred during shipping. While this sounds great, most of the time delivery means having it left outside the home, with you as the homeowner bearing the responsibility of moving the equipment into the garage or basement or wherever it will be installed. And if it is damaged while being moved inside, you are responsible.
A few companies will deliver equipment such as furnaces with several options. For instance, for $55 the equipment will be delivered to your front door, but for $115 it will be delivered to the room of choice and unpacked. When purchasing something as large and heavy as a furnace, it's usually worth paying the little bit extra to have it brought inside.
Keeping your Warranty Intact
HVAC equipment brands have varying policies on whether they will honor warranties on equipment purchased online. Goodman, for example, says that the warranty of any furnace purchased online is null and void.
In general, HVAC manufacturers appear to oppose consumer-direct purchases for several reasons:
- First, they have a valid concern that consumers should not install HVAC equipment by themselves. FurnaceCompare would like to reiterate this concern – you really need to have a qualified HVAC contractor install this equipment. This is one do-it-yourself project that could literally kill you if you do it wrong.
- Second, some brands have found that the return rate is higher on products purchased online – presumably because unqualified people have installed the product, and damaged the unit in the process.
- Third, although the brands typically sell to regional distributors, their bread and butter depends on HVAC contractors recommending their brands to buyers. Thus, they tend to favor policies that keep their contractors happy.
However, most brands focus primarily on whether you purchased your equipment through a licensed distributor and had it installed by a licensed HVAC contractor. After speaking with representatives from six of the major brands, we have determined that as long as you meet these criteria, you should not have a problem with your warranty. Even with Goodman, which has a policy of invalidating the warranty of any equipment purchased online, the warranty remains valid if you purchase your equipment from a consumer-direct retailer over the phone, rather than placing the order on the internet.
Of course, this is not a guarantee that you will not have problems. If you have any questions about your warranty, you should direct them to the retailer from whom you buy your equipment, or to your brand's customer support phone number.
Finding a Qualified Contractor
A number of consumers have reported finding that HVAC companies are reluctant to work with them on an hourly basis. You have a few options in terms of finding a qualified contractor to install your purchase. In order of convenience, they are:
- If you already have an HVAC contractor who has done work for you in the past, give them a call, explain what you want to do, and see if they are interested in working with you.
- Ask your friends and neighbors if they have an HVAC contractor that they recommend. Call this contractor, tell them that a friend or neighbor referred you, and see if they are willing to work with you.
- If you purchase your equipment from a big box store, they may offer an installation service. These contractors are typically independent companies that pay the big box store a marketing fee to provide them with homeowners looking for a contractor.
- If you have oil or propane delivered to your house for your furnace, call the company, and see if they have an HVAC contractor on staff. They may be willing to work with you, since you have an ongoing relationship with them.
- Pick up the yellow pages, turn to the section on HVAC and start calling.
If using the latter options, be sure to refer to our tips on how to select a contractor.
Determining the Cost of Buying and Installing your Equipment
You can't simply find a "Blue Book" or price list for central heating and cooling equipment. The price of installation varies between different brands of equipment, and based on how much work is involved in configuring and installing the unit. However, the following articles will help give you a ballpark price, and understand how HVAC contractors set prices:

The lack of Balance Glyphs and how to fix it
by Sunfyre on Apr.09, 2012, under Mists of Pandaria
Looking at the major glyph situation, Balance Druids are currently left in the dark. While Glyph of Rebirth will probably be one of our choices, that still leaves two spots unaccounted for. After speaking with Lissanna earlier today, I came up with the idea for a Glyph of Wild Mushroom.
Glyph of Wild Mushroom allows all three Wild Mushrooms to be cast at once, however the cooldown of Wild Mushroom: Bloom and Wild Mushroom: Detonate is increased to 12 seconds.
Some may balk at the increased cooldown duration. This increased duration was encountered already with the addition of two extra GCDs, so you'd be at a net neutral. At lower haste levels, you may actually gain a little bit of time as you haven't reached the 1.0 second GCD mark yet.
Lissanna thought that 12 seconds might be to overpowered. I'd still be okay with 15 seconds. This would certainly be a situational spell. If extended AoE was required where we'd need to mushroom every ten seconds, it may not be as desired, however if the AoE was burst and only done once at a time, it may be useful.
What do you think? What additional glyphs would you like to see? Remember, the thought behind major glyphs is to gain something, you also sacrifice something. Pure throughput glyphs have gone the way of the Dodo.
Live to Beta Glyph Conversions
by Sunfyre on Mar.24, 2012, under Mists of Pandaria
Just like in Cataclysm, some old glyph IDs are being re-used for the new glyphs, that means if you want to have these new glyphs in MoP Beta, you need to learn the same item ID on live. Here's the conversions:
Glyph of the Stag: Glyph of Mangle
Glyph of the Stars: Glyph of Typhoon
Glyph of the Orca: Glyph of Insect Swarm
Glyph of Grace: Glyph of Thorns
Glyph of Stampede: Glyph of Swiftmend
Glyph of Stampeding Roar: Glyph of Savage Roar
Glyph of the Chameleon: Glyph of Challenging Roar
Glyph of the Moonbeast: Glyph of Starfire

I'm quite literally a sad panda, no pun intended, as I do not have beta access yet. Lissanna of Restokin has the beta downloaded and has begun to share with us her findings. Here's the screenshots for stag and orca form, as well as Astral Form.
And last but not least, Astral Form:
What are your opinions so far? I wish they would have done more with Astral Form then give us the one graphic that's possibly older than Moonkin Form… but, at least it's something.
Moongasm: MoP Druid Changes
by Sunfyre on Mar.20, 2012, under Mists of Pandaria
Now that the NDA has been lifted for the Mists of Pandaria Press event, a whole host of information is coming out. Here's some of the druid changes.
- A new minor glyph that allow druids to have a random coloring in cat and bear form has been added.
- A new minor glyph that allow druids to stay in tree form has been added.
- A new minor glyph that changes a druid's aquatic form into a Orca has been added.
- A new minor glyph that changes a druid's travel form into a white stag has been added. Other players can ride you while in this form.
- A new minor glyph that changes a druid's moonkin form into a moonkin spirit has been added.
Moonkin spirit?! Can it be?! I don't have to be a fat owl in Mists of Pandaria?!

If you copy over your character to the PTR with "Glyph of Nourish", it'll magically turn itself into the "Glyph of Starsurge" on the PTR! Go have fun!
If you've already copied over and don't want to burn another copy, I brought over 8 additional glyphs on Broxigar (US-PVP). Come find me and I'll give you one. I'm Sunfyyre on PTR.
Cataclysm: Druid glyphs released!
by Sunfyre on Sep.10, 2010, under Cataclysm
(h/t to Lissanna@Restokin for scooping this story)
New druid glyphs have been released, and are broken into three catagories: Prime, Major, and Minor. I will focus on the balance glyphs. For a full druid list, please check out Restokin.
Prime glyphs:
- Starsurge – When your starsurge deals damage, the cooldown remaining on your starfall is reduced by 5 sec.
- Insect swarm – Still increases damage by 30%, no longer mentions debuff.
- Moonfire – Increases the periodic damage of moonfire by 10%
- Starfire – Unchanged (starfire increases duration of Moonfire)
- Wrath – Your wrath does 10% additional damage to targets afflicted by your insect swarm
Major glyphs:
- Focus – unchanged (still reduces starfall radius for bonus damage)
- Thorns – Reduces cooldown by 20 sec
- Barkskin – Unchanged (reduces chance to be crit)
- Roots – Reduces cast time of roots by 100%
- Hurricane – Slows movement speed by 50%
- Innervate – When innervate is cast on a friendly target other than the caster, the caster will gain 50% of inntervate's effect
- Monsoon – Unchanged (reduces cooldown of typhoon by 3 sec)
- Rebirth – Unchanged (res with 100% health)
- Solar beam – Increases the duration of your solar beam silence by 5 sec.
- Starfall – Reduces the cooldown on starfall by 30 sec
Minor glyphs:
- Aquatic form – increases swim speed by 50% in aquatic form.
- Mark of the wild – Reduces cost of MOTW by 50% (NOTE: GOTW is gone and MOTW is now group & already costs no reagent)
- Unburdened rebirth (unchanged) – rebirth no longer requires a reagent
- Typhoon – reduces cost of the spell by 8%, increases radius by 10 yards, but no longer knocks enemies back
My opinion:
I like how the glyph system works in Cataclysm, as you can always swap glyphs in and out once you have them. I think our prime glyph set is really going to allow us to tailor our abilities on a fight-per-fight basis. On heavy tank and spank, direct damage, little movement fights, I'd want starsurge, starfire, and wrath. During fights with a lot of movement, I'd probably favor the DoT-centric glyphs and go for Moonfire and Insect Swarm. Having a third tier of glyphs also allows us to keep favorites like Starfall, but also add in additional utility glyphs like innervate. I REALLY wish that innervate would have given the bonus if you cast on yourself as well, as a 20% mana return every 3 minutes is pretty weak. (Unless nerfed, mages get 60% mana back at a lot quicker time with Evocation).
Your thoughts?
3.3.3: Glyph of Focus nerfed
by Sunfyre on Mar.10, 2010, under General
[item]Glyph of Focus[/item] is being nerfed in 3.3.3. This seems to be mostly a PvP nerf, but obviously Starfall will still be a huge buff. I really didn't think Focus was the way to go in PvE just because of the range nerf.
- Glyph of Focus: Now increases the damage done by Starfall by 10%, down from 20%.
Moonfire, Starfire and Starfall glyphs will be the way to go

Question of the Week: Do you plan on using the [item]Glyph of Starfall[/item] in 3.3.3 if you aren't currently? How about the [item]Glyph of Focus[/item]?
I haven't sat down and theorycrafted a whole lot on the glyph of focus, and whether it's worth dropping [item]Glyph of Moonfire[/item] or [item]Glyph of Starfire[/item], but I've decided not to pick it up, and here is my reasoning:
While Starfall is going to be a great boost to all of our DPS, and a 20% boost would be nice, the place it's going to really shine is Blood Beasts on Heroic Saurfang (as the main star component is not treated as an AoE), as well as Lich King (it'll do some massive AoE and splash damage to the Vile Spirits). Cutting the range by 50% would really counter-act that, and I believe really cut into the utility of the spell.
I'm already using [item]Glyph of Starfall[/item] and definitely will be going forward.
What do you guys plan on using?
