THANK YOU, BRIAN! Love how Earl was an equal opportunity insulter to both fans and his players... that was hilarious!
That was the perfect antedote to losing Trotter and Cole Hamels for the next three weeks. Thanks again.
I heard about Hamels last night, rough break man.
Look at it this way, when they get into the playoffs, they sure will have earned it.

The Salt Lake City Council is poised to enact a significant tax increase in the next month, with two public hearings starting this week.
In an op-ed for The Tribune published June 8 ("Becker: Why no tax increase"), Mayor Ralph Becker said that Salt Lake City's Council should not adopt a property tax increase. "Since I entered office in 2008, I have not proposed a property tax increase for city operations," he wrote.
The irony is that the mayor, with the blessing of the Salt Lake City Council, has increased many taxes in the last year. He has proposed and implemented a lighting fee that taxes local property owners an average of $40 a year (for a home businesses can be charged more). Although the city called it a fee, it is a tax. A tax by any other name is still a tax.
In addition, athletic field usage fees are being increased. Another new tax/fee comes in the form of parking meters that require payment up until to 8 p.m., two hours later than before. This means that to go downtown with a personal vehicle in order to provide public comment to the Council requires more in fees or taxes than before (instead of $0/hour we now pay at least $2 per hour).
Assessment districts have been proposed that increase taxes downtown and on North Temple. Although previous studies have suggested an assessment district along the new Sugar House streetcar line, at present there are no plans to set it up.
Three members of the Council will be out of office next year, and as Jason Mathis, executive vice president of the Salt Lake Chamber and executive director of the Downtown Alliance, mentioned at a recent Council hearing, it is questionable to implement a tax increase when the voters cannot respond by voting out the member who votes for the tax increase. Not allowing the voters to decide if a tax increase or large capital project like a theater or hotel is approved seems to be a regular occurrence in Salt Lake City government.
Becker was right to the Council tax increase, but he is wrong to imply that he was defending taxpayers. He has implemented tax or fee increases. He and the Council are increasing the bond debt that city taxpayers are required to pay. That alone should be considered a big tax increase.
I realize that roads need upkeep and repair and the police deserve more support. But implementing a tax or fee increase is a slippery slope. Allowing Salt Lake City to increase taxes by even a nickel will eventually lead to raising taxes by a dime, and before you know it, we will have $100 million in tax increases to contend with.
It is another case of nickel and diming and quartering the taxpayer.
In the next few weeks, the Salt Lake City Council will hold public hearings to allow the public to comment on the proposed property tax increases. Members of the public can also direct their comments to the Council through their website at slcgov.com.
George Chapman is a resident of Salt Lake City and active in Republican politics.

There was no shortage of disfavor for the policies of President Barack Obama in Sen. Bob Corker's delivery of the Weekly Republican Address Saturday—the GOP response to the president's Weekly Video and Radio Address.
Corker railed on "Washington mismanagement," reiterating his description of the Senate's inability to pass a budget as a "total failure of leadership." The senator also blamed the president for his "punts on almost every tough decision," saying he had offered no solutions for the problems facing the country.
"Politicians are bankrupting our country by passing legislation without paying for it and abandoning the free market principles that give people the opportunity to succeed," Corker said. "It's disappointing, and, I can assure you, highly frustrating to see what happens here in Washington: more spending and debt and kicking tough decisions down the road, robbing—literally robbing—the next generation of the opportunity to pursue success and live their own American Dream."
Corker then prescribed pro-growth tax reform and simplification of the tax code as ways to strengthen the national economy, along with measures to promote private sector growth.

Kicking off a three-day tour of India, Chinese Premier
"There is enough space in the world for the development of both China and India, and enough areas for us both to co-operate," Mr Wen said in a speech to hundreds of executives from both countries.
"The 21st century is the Asian century. It is also the century in which China and India can make great achievements."
Mr Wen is on his first visit to India in more than five years and his agenda is heavily weighted toward strengthening business ties in a bid to improve the weak economic relationship between the world's two most populous nations. Despite China's vast treasury and India's need for financing and infrastructure, China's investment in India has been minuscule compared to that of the United States and Britain.
More than 300 businessmen accompanied Mr Wen from China, dozens more than have accompanied other leaders who have visited India recently, including US President Barack Obama. When Mr Wen took the stage at a ballroom in a New Delhi hotel on Wednesday, many of the visiting executives cheered.
Mr Wen is expected to push Indian officials, including Prime Minister
Mr Wen said he planned to set new growth goals with Indian officials for bilateral trade and suggested the two countries set up special investment zones. He would also push to make it easier for capital and people to move more easily between the countries.
India and China are the world's fastest-growing major economies, home to two-fifths of the world's population, and share a border more than 3000 kilometres long.
"From the Indian side, there has been a lot of suspicion of the strategic intentions of state-owned Chinese enterprises," said Jonathan Holslag, a research fellow at the Brussels Institute of Contemporary China Studies.
Chinese companies in India had been disappointed by profits and stymied by red tape, Mr Holslag said. "Over all, it has been very difficult for Chinese companies to get their share of the Indian market."
The Chinese delegation was greeted enthusiastically by India's Commerce Minister, Anand Sharma, and other Indian trade officials. "There was a time when Asia counted for three-fourths of global gross domestic product," Mr Sharma said, and those times were returning. "In coming years, less than two decades, India and China will be two of the three largest economies in the world."
Mr Wen said $US16 billion worth of deals between the two countries would be announced along with his visit. Some of the total included final agreements or financing of deals already under way.
A Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturer, Huawei, said it planned to spend $US2 billion to expand its operations in India over the next five years, adding a new research and development campus in Bangalore that would employ 1000 people.
Companies in India's Reliance ADA Group, the conglomerate controlled by Anil Ambani, said they would receive financing from Chinese banks totalling about $US3 billion, much of it to be used to buy goods from Chinese companies.
To date, China's foreign direct investment in India is small. From April 2000 to September 2010 China foreign direct investment in India was just $US52 million, compared to the United States' $US9 billion, according to Indian government figures.

Certified instructor description:
OverviewThis workout is a remix of different segments from various Firm workouts. These segments are the best of the best, designed to strengthen and shape the lower body while elevating the heart rate and burning calories. The Firm has a tradition of choreographing every single part of an eight count. This workout is no different. These instructors pay attention to detail and they will have you moving every part of their body whenever possible. Originally released in 1993, remastered for DVD with menu and chapters in 2013; 2 and 10 inch box, a set of 3-8 pound hand weights.
Click for Further Review Details
This is a compilation of various Firm workouts. The six different segments include a warm up and cool down, and each one has a specific purpose. Four limb movements, a common Firm term, use both the arms and the legs at a fast pace or using a high bench. These four limb movements are both cardio and strength training. Stepping up on a 12-inch bench is tough work for the glutes and legs, but after 8 reps, the heart rate starts to climb and by the end of the segment the heart rate is definitely elevated. This type of training is a huge benefit because you are basically getting a two for one. Included is a low impact segment combined with four limb, a high impact segment combined with four limb, a second low impact and four limb movement and a final high impact and four limb segment. The unique part of this workout is it is hard to determine where the muscle training starts compared to the cardio.
This workout will help get your heart rate up and get your legs and lower body stronger because the exercises include step-ups on a high bench, lunges and plyometric jumps. Different instructors teach the segments, which helps keep you motivated. The compilation has been carefully selected from five different Firm workouts. Fans of the Firm will recognize and appreciate these choreographed routines. This is old school aerobics complete with leotards and tights. While the clothing is dated, the moves are still beneficial.
Buyer's Guide
These segments are highly choreographed so even lifting a leg to prepare is figured into the workout. Those who like a lot of attention to detail, a variety of movements and lots of lower body strengthening will like this workout. The class setting and the clothing may not appeal to younger exercisers as this is an old school workout but it will satisfy Firm fans...and there are a lot of you out there!

Hi all
I have joined to find out from you sources of reliable information on Promeris for CATS.
We run a cat rescue and were recently donated a quantity of this flea treatment. Naturally, we checked with our vets and they did not say anything negative about it although they stock all competing treatments.
I have had some reports that there are some very negative comments (albeit mainly from a limited number of people) on side effects on dogs.
We are a CAT rescue and are mainly interested in reliable info (coming from clinical studies or vet experiences).
Would anyone be able to point us to the right direction?

Have your children come home excited about a trip to a museum or hearing from a story teller posing as a Lowell "mill girl"? Maybe they had their eyes opened to the dangers of bullying from a special presenter. Chances are these programs were funded by a grant from the DEF.
The DEF regularly awards more than $20,000 in grants each year, but we are unable to fulfill all requests. Through continued growth, the DEF looks forward to the day when all teacher and school needs are met.
The Dedham Education Foundation was founded in 1991 to support our public schools and make possible programs and initiatives that enhance and enrich students' education.

California Civil Jury Instructions (CACI)
2201. Intentional Interference With Contractual Relations
[Name of plaintiff] claims that [name of defendant] intentionally interfered with the contract between [him/her/it] and [name of third party]. To establish this claim, [name of plaintiff] must prove all of the following:
1. That there was a contract between [name of plaintiff] and [name of third party];
2. That [name of defendant] knew of the contract;
3. That [name of defendant] intended to disrupt the performance of this contract;
4. That [name of defendant]'s conduct prevented performance or made performance more expensive or difficult;
5. That [name of plaintiff] was harmed; and
6. That [name of defendant]'s conduct was a substantial factor in causing [name of plaintiff]'s harm.
New September 2003
Directions for Use
If the validity of a contract is an issue, see the series of contracts instructions (CACI No. 300 et seq.).
Sources and Authority
- "The elements which a plaintiff must plead to state the cause of action for intentional interference with contractual relations are (1) a valid contract between plaintiff and a third party; (2) defendant's knowledge of this contract; (3) defendant's intentional acts designed to induce a breach or disruption of the contractual relationship; (4) actual breach or disruption of the contractual relationship; and (5) resulting damage." (Pacific Gas & Electric Co. v. Bear Stearns & Co. (1990) 50 Cal.3d 1118, 1126 [270 Cal.Rptr. 1, 791 P.2d 587], internal citations omitted.)
- "[A] cause of action for intentional interference with contract requires an underlying enforceable contract. Where there is no existing, enforceable contract, only a claim for interference with prospective advantage may be pleaded." (PMC, Inc. v. Saban Entertainment, Inc. (1996) 45 Cal.App.4th 579, 601 [52 Cal.Rptr.2d 877].)
- "Because interference with an existing contract receives greater solicitude than does interference with prospective economic advantage, it is not necessary that the defendant's conduct be wrongful apart from the interference with the contract itself." (Quelimane Co. v. Stewart Title Guaranty Co. (1998) 19 Cal.4th 26, 55 [77 Cal.Rptr.2d 709, 960 P.2d 513], internal citations omitted.)
- "It is not enough that the actor intended to perform the acts which caused the result—he or she must have intended to cause the result itself." (Kasparian v. County of Los Angeles (1995) 38 Cal.App.4th 242, 261 [45 Cal.Rptr.2d 90].)
- Restatement Second of Torts, section 766A provides: "One who intentionally and improperly interferes with the performance of a contract (except a contract to marry) between another and a third person by preventing the other from performing the contract or causing his performance to be more expensive or burdensome, is subject to liability to the other for the pecuniary loss resulting to him."
- "Plaintiff need not allege an actual or inevitable breach of contract in order to state a claim for disruption of contractual relations. We have recognized that interference with the plaintiff's performance may give rise to a claim for interference with contractual relations if plaintiff's performance is made more costly or more burdensome. Other cases have pointed out that while the tort of inducing breach of contract requires proof of a breach, the cause of action for interference with contractual relations is distinct and requires only proof of interference." (Pacific Gas & Electric Co., supra, 50 Cal.3d at p. 1129, internal citations omitted.)
- "[I]nterference with an at-will contract is actionable interference with the contractual relationship, on the theory that a contract 'at the will of the parties, respectively, does not make it one at the will of others.' " (Pacific Gas & Electric Co., supra, 50 Cal.3d at p. 1127, internal citations and quotations omitted.)
- "We conclude that a plaintiff seeking to state a claim for intentional interference with contract or prospective economic advantage because defendant induced another to undertake litigation, must allege that the litigation was brought without probable cause and that the litigation concluded in plaintiff's favor." (Pacific Gas & Electric Co., supra, 50 Cal.3d at p. 1137.)

The freshmen duo paced their respective squads
BC Women Finish Sixth, Men Claim Sixth at Eye Opener InvitationalSeptember 6, 2013
Head Coach Adam Malloy made his BC debutSPARTANBURG, S.C. – Brevard College senior Josh Mower and freshman Caroline Christensen paced their respective squads while the Tornados competed in the Eye Opener Invitational at Milliken Park in Spartanburg, S.C. Friday evening.
Mower finished in 26th following a run of 27:53.67 and shaved 30 seconds off his time from the event a year ago. Freshman Marc DeLisle made his BC debut a noteworthy one following a 28th place with a time of 27:56.58 in the men's 8K while Christensen led the women's team with a 16th place finish with a time of 20:36.22 in the women's 5K.
"Marc didn't race like a freshman. He had a plan to run conservative in the beginning," said head coach Adam Malloy. "He finished up strong with running the last mile hard."
DeLisle was followed by a trio of seniors in the form of Jordan Tager, Erik Gibbs and Chris Shore. Tager turned in a solid run with a time of 28:27.83 to finish 32nd and Gibbs finished 40th with a time of 28:59.43, while Shore followed close behind with a 47th place finish in a time of 29:19.49.
The men finished sixth overall while King took home the men's crown.
On the women's side, Christiansen had fourth fastest time of all participating freshman in the field. The Copenhagen, Denmark, native was followed by sophomore Hannah Cook, who finished 22nd with a time of 21:01.98. Senior Angela Canale (21:38.83), freshman Elena Raygoza (21:52.20) and junior Heidi Kaartinen (21:53.39) finished 31st, 33rd and 34th, respectively.
First-year head coach Malloy proved what a difference a year can make as the women's team finished sixth after finishing 13th in the event last season. "There is always the first race jitters," the Ephrata, Pa., native on his coaching debut. "I was never nervous, more excited to see what they could do."
The Tornados return to action Saturday, Sept. 14 when they participate in the Furman Invitational in Greenville, S.C.

In Fading Gigolo, John Turturro plays Fioravante, a measured, mature Manhattanite who lives alone and works as a florist's arranger and a bookstore clerk. When the latter business closes, his friend and boss, Murray (Woody Allen), casually suggests to Fioravante that he take up an offer from Murray's dermatologist, who is neglected by her husband and desires a male gigolo. Fioravante soon agrees, and finds himself knocking on the door of the dermatologist, Dr Parker (Sharon Stone).

|Run Time
Fioravante decides to become a professional Don Juan as a way of making money to help his cash-strapped friend, Murray. With Murray acting as his "manager", the duo quickly finds themselves caught up in the crosscurrents of love and money.
Full synopsis
Initially nervous, but soon satiated, Dr Parker immediately suggests that Fioravante must be paid to have a threesome with the dermatologist and her best friend, Selima (Sofia Vergara).
That's Turturro, Stone and Vergara. Did I mention that Turturro also wrote and directed the movie? It's difficult not to query his intentions, as the 57-year-old, best known for playing eccentric or sometimes comically loopy characters for the likes of the Coen brothers, has made such a slight and increasingly unsatisfying movie.
Fading Gigolo has moments of whimsy and specks of philosophical consideration, but if it treats Fioravante with seriousness, you have to question what merits you doing the same. This is the veteran actor's fifth film as a director and, worryingly, it may be the most formless. ''I am not a beautiful man,'' his character observes, and the idea that it could be about how a man who doesn't value his looks responds to desire and a $2500 fee is an interesting one, but any wisdom mainly consists of soulful foreign-language sayings that are a step up from a good calendar when they are presented without accompaniment.
There is simple pleasure in watching Turturro mix it up with Allen, whose Murray is typically Allen with some money difficulties and an unexpected family. Hearing him riff about his mortality is not exactly a revelation in 2014. Murray does find an unlikely client, an Orthodox Jewish rabbi's widow named Avigal (Vanessa Paradis), who just wants someone to talk to, but her tenuous relationship with Fioravante is soon upstaged by the attentions of Dovi (Liev Schreiber), an obsessive Orthodox community patrolman who kidnaps Murray for a rabbinical trial.
At one point Fioravante notes that he ''no longer'' has family, but there is no further clarification and the role never becomes a fully fledged character. You are left with the feeling that Turturro just wanted to be a leading man for once.

Yesterday, the Air Force imposed what it calls a "wingman policy" requiring its trainees at the Lackland base in San Antonio, Texas, to be with at least one classmate at all times. The move comes in response to an Air Training and Command investigation that identified 23 instructors on the base who had allegedly raped, sexually harassed or had "unprofessional relationships" with 48 trainees.
Lackland trains all Air Force recruits, [Bloomberg reports.] (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-11-14/wingman-rule-to-curb-sex-abuse-is-adopted-by-air-force.html) So far, five officials have been convicted in court martials on charges ranging from adultery to rape and others could face criminal charges.
Of course the epidemic of unpunished rape within the U.S. military—and the routine silencing of and retaliation against enlisted survivors who dare to report it—isn't new. Due in large part to the release of the Academy Award-nominated "Invisible War" documentary, the sustained activism of Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), and several high-profile class action civil suits filed against former and current Defense Secretaries Donald Rumsfeld and Leon Panetta, the issue has captured headlines. In April, the Pentagon made several changes to its dysfunctional sexual assault protocol, such as extending evidence retention for 50 years and granting service-people who have been assaulted immediate transfers so that they don't have to report to or interact with their attackers while the crime is being investigated.
These shifts are the bare minimum.
In 2010 alone, there were at least 19,000 intra-military sexual assaults, according to the Defense Department. Further enhancing the trauma, there remains a ban on military insurance coverage of abortions even in the case of rape and incest.
I haven't seen sexual assault reports broken down by race. What I can say is that a disproportionate number of servicewomen on active duty are black. They make up a whopping 31 percent of the active-duty population compared to the 15 percent they comprise in the general population. (Fifty three percent of women on active duty are white, compared to 78 percent of female civilians.)

Huge and Feminist Stereotypes
Yet again, the media continues to fail with another horribly unrealistic feminist character. I was interested in the new series "Huge" and how this show would portray body image issues. However, when Willy, the main character, declared herself an "angry feminist" in the most recent episode, I became more distracted with this. Willy is an overall arrogant and obnoxious character. She is cold and makes more enemies than friends. She is mistaken for a lesbian. She is the most irrational and unreasonable character on the show. She has some good points to make, but does so in a completely absurd manner (ex: pasting photos of real women and calling it "fatspiration")
While there are many types of feminists, I do not understand this stereotypical feminist. I have yet to meet …

Hey there, time traveller!

BRANDON -- A 69-year-old Carberry man is dead after a head-on crash just south of Brandon on Tuesday afternoon.
Blue Hills RCMP responded to a collision on Highway 10 and Road 48 North, south of Brandon. A late-model Chevrolet Sonic was travelling northbound on Highway 10 when it collided with an SUV going southbound. Initial investigation shows the car had drifted across the centre line.
The collision happened on a straight, newer two-lane portion of the highway.
The man didn't appear responsive when he was taken from the car and emergency crews on scene attempted to resuscitate him before placing him in an ambulance.
The driver of the SUV, an 87-year-old woman from Hartney, was taken to hospital, where she was in stable condition, police say.
Highway 10 in both directions was closed by the province from Highway 2 to Highway 349 for a few hours. Dozens of vehicles were lined up on the shoulder shortly after the crash.
Mounties and Brandon Fire and Emergency Services remained on scene as investigators took photos of the crash during the preliminary investigation.
Police said alcohol is not suspected to be a factor in the collision and police say it appears both drivers were wearing seatbelts.

Michigan passes new Emergency Dictator Law: Black Michigan to be again denied democratic rights
LANSING -- The state House has passed what the Snyder administration says is a new and improved emergency manager law but opponents say is a warmed-over version of what voters rejected Nov. 6. The House passed the Local Financial Stability and Choice act in a 63-46 vote late Wednesday, with Rep. Kevin Cotter, R-Mt. Pleasant, as the only Republican to join Democrats in voting against it...
Incoming House Minority Leader Tim Greimel, D-Auburn Hills, said it is a "mirror image" of what voters just rejected and "another slap in the face to democracy perpetrated by this House."
The bill says an emergency manager will have the power to undertake "the modification, rejection, termination and renegotiation of contracts." The ability for an emergency manager to break or terminate collective bargaining agreements under certain circumstances was one of the most controversial aspects of PA 4...
LANSING, MI - Five weeks after Michigan voters repealed a law giving the state more authority to take control of financially strapped cities and school districts, the Republican-led Senate gave final approval to replacement legislation.
The bill, approved 23-15 with three Republicans joining all Democrats in opposition, was sent to the desk of Gov. Rick Snyder. He plans to sign it.
Democrats - who represent some of the areas in financial straits - accused Republicans of ignoring the wishes of residents who spoke in the Nov. 6 election and speedily pushing through the bill... Voters rejected Michigan's previous emergency manager law, Public Act 4, repealing it via statewide referendum in last month's election. Since then, the state has been operating under the auspices of Public Act 72 of 1990, a less aggressive predecessor law.
The legislation includes an appropriation, making it immune from being repealed by voters at the ballot box.
The new emergency manager proposal was announced last week on the same day that Michigan Treasurer Andy Dillon said he'll likely order a review of Detroit's municipal finances, a 30-day process that could lead to a state takeover of its largest city that's deep in debt and has a budget deficit of more than $200 million. Managers are in place in Benton Harbor, Ecorse, Flint, Pontiac and Allen Park, as well as in the Muskegon Heights, Highland Park and Detroit school districts.

1. MI citizens need some Federal relief on this,
either Executive Branch or Judicial Circuit court.
It looks like a 'States Rights' attacking Civil Rights issue, like the South in the '50's and '60's.

3. Snyder must go in 2014.
The new legislature might not pass this and the other nonsense, so with the help of the Koch Bros. and their Michigan equivalent, the DeVoss and Prince families, they're getting it done in the lame duck session.
This is really a perversion of democracy.
Michigan is my home state and I visit family and friends as often as I can.
The beautiful Lake Michigan beaches near where I grew up are still there, but the government seems like it is from another planet.

8. This is the truth......
This won't get solved by electoral remedies or even the courts. The only way this gets solved is massive labor involvements in this issue with strikes and demonstrations. Unfortunately, the entire state (or as much of it as practical) needs to be shut down until these fascist laws are repealed.
BTW, it's not just black Michiganders that needs to get involved. It's in their areas, so they should be the vanguard, but EVERYBODY needs to be involved.

New York (Jun. 18)
The Marine Flasher, first vessel to bring immigrants from Germany and Austria to the United States since the war broke out, docked here today with its second transport of refugees. The 573 passengers were the third group to enter the country under President Truman's directive facilitating immigration to the U.S. from the American zones of Germany and Austria.
The refugees were greeted at the pier by relatives and friends and by representatives of the Joint Distribution Committee, HIAS, and the National Refugee Service. The J.D.C. arranged for the passage and paid or advanced travel costs for 400 of the immigrants, while HIAS financed the transportation of 170 of the Jewish passengers.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hello, I am in agreement with the doctor who is saying that your own bodily reaction is the best indicator. I am somewhat confused when you mention klonapin and ativan .and then mention SSRI's. Both Klonapin and Ativan are benzodiazapines with no relation to SSRI's. The feeling of unreality if attributable to meds or anxiety can only be determined if you stop the ativan and still have the same reaction. Remember you cannot just stop Benzo's abruptly without the risk of seizure or convulsions. If you have further questions I will answer, but I must get off for a few hours. good luck.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. It is a reasonable reduction which your body will confirm. If you experience discomfort then it is not a reasonable reduction, but I doubt that you will have any discomfort. If you do then it is too large a reduction which you should discuss with prescribing doctor. Best wishes.
As you say increased anxiety or signs there of. Restlessness, difficulty concentrating, problems with focusing, and just about just about anything that are out of the ordinary. As your doctor says you should really not have a problem because of low dosage. Seizure is not a major issue. Most physicians suggest changes weekly. I cannot really sagest a dose reduction as only physicians can prescribe. I can suggest you cease worrying as you are reducing slowly and you never were on a high or even moderately high dosage. So I suggest you relax and follow your doctors directions.
And thank you for your generosity and please relax there is little or nothing to worry about.

My reenlistment date was coming up, so I wanted to get myself fixed up, good as new.
Denials of reenlistment almost completely disappeared, dropping from 4,000 in 1994 to only 81 in 2006.
After one term of service a reenlistment would be quite apt to secure a contented recruit and a good soldier.
That reenlistment be denied to regular Army soldiers who meet only the minimum standards.
Indeed, an abstract of his reenlistment January 1, 1864, shows a medical examination and perfect soundness.

TOP STORY >>Adjutant general installed
Arkansas Air National Guard
Maj. Gen. William D. Wofford assumes command of the 10,200-member strong Arkansas National Guard at a 1 p.m. ceremony today at Camp Robinson.
The ceremony will be held at the Davis Auditorium on the second floor of the Professional Education Center.
A reception will follow for the new adjutant general downstairs in the lobby of Patriot Hall right below the auditorium.
The assumption of command ceremony differs somewhat from a change-of-command ceremony in that Maj. Gen. Ronald S. Chastain, the states outgoing adjutant general, will not be present to hand off command and exchange the colors.
The ceremony will simply involve Wofford assuming command of the troops from the governor.
Newly elected Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe appointed Wofford to the post in January.
Chastain took command of the Arkansas National Guard last July after he was appointed to the position by former Gov. Mike Huckabee.
The adjutant general is a state political appointee. Whoever fills the position serves at the pleasure of the governor. General Wofford will be states 51st TAG since 1836.

Dr. Tim Burlingame said Sonrise Christian School wasn't his school. It belonged to the students.
Still, one can't help but see the imprint the superintendent left all around the Covina school and the community.
Burlingame died in October 2010 at the age of 63 of complications from leukemia.
In his 35 years as administrator at Sonrise, Burlingame helped shape the curriculum and even helped to literally build the school, including the playground and some landscaping at the Ruddock campus.
"He was hands-on," said Sonrise Principal Carla Walulik. "He just made sure the school ran smoothly."
Though Burlingame was born in Seattle, where he moved back to after retiring last August, the San Gabriel Valley was his home since childhood.
The Northview High School graduate joined the Army for a couple years before attending and graduating from Azusa Pacific University, Cal Poly Pomona, Biola University and from the University of Southern California, where he received his doctorate in education.
Burlingame was a youth minister at his childhood church, Baldwin Park Church of Christ, where Sonrise first started as the San Gabriel Valley Christian School.
Eventually, the school became its own entity and changed locations a few times, as well as names.
"Tim put out a survey to parents and asked the students to help rename the school," said Sonrise staff and longtime friend Chartlotte Miller. "Sonrise was chosen in the early 1970s."
Burlingame had an open and mutually respectful relationship with his students, as he did with everyone in his life.
"I feel he had a love of children and a desire to direct their lives in a positive way," said Walulik. "He said, `We are engaged in the most important work on the face of this earth."'
Burlingame helped create and begin very progressive and hands-on learning programs at the school such as the Laptop Learning program, foreign exchange student program, the school steel drum band, backpacking trips, seventh- and eighth-grade service project program and more.
"He wanted to give the students experiences," Walulik said. "He always wanted us to get better and improve and always thought of what else we could do to make the students more well-rounded individuals."
Burlingame was strong in his faith and values.
"He was a man of integrity. His testimony was that he's going to walk the walk and people are going to see what a good, Godly Christian looks like," Walulik said.
Thirteen-year-old Derek Lee remembers feeling so welcome at Sonrise when he began in preschool. He said he learned a lot from Burlingame.
"He made me feel stronger," he said. "I remember one story, where he said he was climbing up a trail and there was a lot of snow. He couldn't see where to step and his guide told him to just follow his footsteps and it reminded him of how we need to follow in God's footsteps."
Aside from his many duties at Sonrise, Burlingame was involved with many other faith-based organizations and community groups, such as the Covina Sunrise Rotary Club, Covina Planning Commission and Covina Chamber of Commerce.
Burlingame was also very patriotic and wanted to instill that in the students with a flag ceremony every school day.
Burlingame helped choose his successor, Chris King, after his retirement.
"Knowing that he endorsed (King), we are confident in where we're going as a school and we'll be able to continue his vision," said Walulik. "He would say this is God's school and we need to do the best every day. He prepared us for when he is not around. Sonrise will continue because we are a ministry."
Walulik said Burlingame shared with her his thoughts when he retired last August.
"He told me, `This is not how I wanted to leave,' " she said. "He wanted to leave on a strong note, but it is what it is and Sonrise will be fine."
When Burlingame held chapel just before his retirement, he spoke to students openly of his condition and told them he didn't know how long he had. But he didn't want them to be sad and instead wanted to give them reassurance.
"He wanted to convey that he loved us and God loved us," Walulik said.
Even to the end, Burlingame was thinking of others.
He bought property and moved to Washington to fulfill his goal of opening a Christian camp. He even had requests for his memorial, knowing something would be done.
"He didn't want anyone wearing black or any flowers," said Walulik. "He wanted it to be a celebration - lots of kids, lots of singing."
After struggling with leukemia for about 13 years, Burlingame was not as able to participate in the many school activities he loved, such as camping and backpacking.
Burlingame created a nurturing and welcoming atmosphere for the Sonrise staff as well.
"We are all better people for having worked with him," said Walulik. "He was a living bible, a gentleman through and through."
On a Facebook page created in his memory, former Sonrise staff and students recall the great memories they shared with Burlingame, some even on their most special day.
"He married a lot of staff and community members," said Lori Kilmurray, Sonrise office manager. "He impacted a lot of lives."
Burlingame is survived by his wife of 43 years, Kathy, four children and five grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the tuition assistance or building acquisition funds for Sonrise Christian School.

Wherever I go, I see something that would make a good picture.
A General View of the Falls of Niagara (detail)
Every time I look at something, my eyes are like the lens of a camera. When I think about whether what I see would make a good picture or not, my imagination is my viewfinder. How do I "develop" my pictures? With crayons, paint, clay sometimes even film.
Making pictures is one way to remember things, and to share your thoughts and memories with other people, too. By recording what you see, you show them how the world looks through your eyes and from your point of view.

It should be mentioned that according to Barker the eosinophil granulations appear to contain iron.
It is particularly easy to observe this point in eosinophil cells.
Our knowledge of eosinophil leucocytosis is still of comparatively recent date.
The increase of eosinophil cells is not always relative, but may be absolute.
By the inductive method then we conclude that a local origin of the eosinophil cells can hardly come under discussion.
On the presence of iron in the granules of the eosinophil leucocytes.
eosinophil cells and nucleated red blood corpuscles were entirely absent.
The hæmoglobin and eosinophil granules are red, the nuclei stain in the colour of hæmatoxylin.
The eosinophil cells are completely excluded from this classification.
eosinophil myelocytes are almost constantly present in myelogenous leukæmia and in anæmia pseudolymphatica infantum.
eosinophil e·o·sin·o·phil (ē'ə-sĭn'ə-fĭl') or e·o·sin·o·phile (-fīl')
A type of white blood cell containing cytoplasmic granules that are easily stained by eosin or other acid dyes. Also called eosinophilic leukocyte, oxyphil, oxyphilic leukocyte.
A microorganism, cell, or histological element easily stained by eosin or other acid dyes.

Very Confusing...I had to look for at least 5 secs before I got it. Stain producer not remover.
Nice art, and nice idea, but a bit confusing.
This one's better than the denim box grater. I can see the color getting all over the white sweater, so the main point comes across much more strongly.
Jeff Greenhouse | http://www.201proof.com | http://www.JeffGreenhouse.com
Nice!!! Very clear and minimalist!
So how does that say stain REMOVER?
So the object that is getting stained is made out of material... and... what!?!?
That does not say stain remover to the average consumer.
I totally agree with the guest who asks : "So how does that say stain REMOVER?". Can anyone explain, please ?
it's hidden in the bottom right hand corner: BINGO STAIN REMOVER
why do you people need advertisements to spoon feed the message to you?
this ad lets you do your own mental work to come to the conclusion that bingo can handle the worst stains.
Colish - try thinking. It's fun.
It's advertising - why would you possibly want to take the chance that a large portion of the audience doesn't get your message?
At the end of the day you're always trying to spoon feed the 'buy me' idea - and yes the are creative and clever ways to do that.
If you're expecting the viewer to take the time to decode the message then there better be a very good pay-off - which in my opinion is lacking in this ad...
Very Confusing...I had to look for at least 5 secs before I got it. Stain producer not remover.
An award idea... not for masses.

The hunt for Europe's most wanted man came to a sudden end in a tough Brussels neighbourhood Friday afternoon when Belgian counterterrorism police raided an apartment building and came away with a suspect who could be the key to unlocking the mysteries of November's massacre in Paris.
The success of the operation, after repeated failures to apprehend 26-year-old Salah Abdeslam, cheered European leaders and law enforcement officials, while offering the tantalising prospect that authorities may soon uncover critical details of a terrorist plot that left 130 people dead on the streets of the French capital.
Abdeslam, who was shot in the leg during Friday's arrest, was believed to be the last surviving direct participant in the November 13 attacks and was considered the operation's chief logistician.
Speaking at a news conference, French President Francois Hollande praised French and Belgian investigators and said that capturing Abdeslam alive "gives us the chance to know the whole truth".
But he also acknowledged that the web of accomplices in the Paris plot may be far wider than has been previously known, and suggested Friday's raids would not be the final ones connected to the killings.
"We have to catch all of those who allowed or facilitated this attack," Hollande said. "There are more of those people than we thought."
Terrorism analysts said the latest arrests, which netted Abdeslam and four others, could mark a turning point in an investigation that has so far failed to unearth some of the most basic details of the Paris plot, including where it was hatched and by whom.
"It's really crucial," Jean-Charles Brisard, chairman of the Paris-based Centre for the Analysis of Terrorism, said. "Salah Abdeslam had a role in virtually every stage of the planning and the preparation. He could be the missing link to the masterminds."
Abdeslam, a French national who grew up in Brussels and is of Moroccan heritage, visited Paris before the killings to scout out sites, and also leased cars, rented apartments and dropped off several attackers before they struck, investigators have said.
But instead of dying with several other attackers, including his older brother, he fled the scene, possibly after shedding a suicide vest. Investigators have theorised that he lost his nerve.
Islamic State claimed responsibility for the assault on civilian targets across the city – including a sports stadium, restaurants and a music hall featuring a concert by an American rock band – that left at least 368 people wounded in addition to those killed.
Law enforcement authorities came close to apprehending Abdeslam in the hours after the attacks, when French police stopped a car he was riding in near the Belgian border. But the officers, not realising he was a suspect, allowed the car to go.
From then on, the search for his whereabouts was focused on Belgium, where authorities were so concerned that Abdeslam was planning a follow-up assault that they shut down Brussels for several days last autumn while conducting raids.
After months in which the investigation had seemed to go cold, the net tightened in recent days. Belgian federal prosecutors said that Abdeslam's fingerprints were found in an apartment raided by police this week.
On Tuesday in Brussels, a joint French-Belgian police operation had triggered clashes that left dead a suspect with possible IS ties. Law enforcement identified the dead man as Mohamed Belkaid, a 35-year-old Algerian. Abdeslam may have narrowly escaped arrest that day.
But three days later, around 4:45pm, police closed in as he hid in an apartment block in Molenbeek, the Brussels neighbourhood that he and others involved in the attack had called home.
Witnesses said they heard a fusillade in the middle of a residential part of Molenbeek. Police "began shouting into a megaphone, telling a person to 'put your hands in the air', " a resident identified as Ilias told Belgium's RTL television. "I didn't understand what was happening. My son wouldn't stop crying. We heard gunshots. It didn't stop. A dozen gunshots. We saw a person on the ground."
Broadcasters later aired video of security forces dragging a limping man with a hoodie over his head out of an apartment building and into a black police car. Hours after the initial raid, explosions were heard in a Brussels neighbourhood where police searched for other suspected terrorists.
Of the four others arrested, three were members of Abdeslam's family, who had sheltered him, a spokesman for the Belgian federal prosecutor's office said. The fourth person, identified as Monir Ahmed al-Hadj, was wounded and taken to hospital.
Following the arrests, US President Barack Obama called Hollande and Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel to congratulate them.
Obama "commended the work of Belgian security services and noted that this significant arrest was the result of hard work and close co-operation between Belgian and French law enforcement authorities," the White House said in a statement.
Sitting beside Hollande later in the evening, Michel hailed the arrests as "a huge success in the battle against terrorism and against this awful negation of human life."
Hollande said France would seek Abdeslam's extradition, a request that Belgian officials suggested they would quickly honour.
But even as the leaders celebrated Friday's arrest, officials acknowledged that deep-seated problems with homegrown extremists persisted in both countries.
Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon said that "cleaning up Molenbeek", which has earned a reputation as a hotbed of Islamist radicalism , is "still not finished." He told Belgium's RTBF broadcaster: "The jihadists must be neutralised, and not a single person more be radicalised."
Friday's raid took place on Molenbeek's Rue des Quatre-Vents, less than four blocks from the area's town hall. Abdeslam grew up in a modest residence across a cobbled square from the town hall, the seat of local authorities who have been criticised for doing little to monitor the growing radicalisation in their midst.
Abdeslam was unemployed, with a record of small-time crime. He was known to hang around a Molenbeek cafe owned by his older brother, Brahim, who detonated a suicide vest on the Boulevard Voltaire on the night of the attacks. Brahim was buried in Molenbeek on Thursday.
Another brother, Mohamed, told reporters after the Paris attacks that Salah Abdeslam was divorced and had no children. At the time, friends and relatives expressed astonishment that he could have been involved in mass murder.
"Salah is a Muslim who prays, had in the last couple of months stopped smoking and drinking, and goes to the mosque once in a while," Mohamed told the French channel BFMTV. "He dressed normally, didn't show any signs of him being radicalised. It is a frustration that our family lived together without noticing what was going on."

FEEDING the swans on the Severn is a favourite past time - but a new project hopes to improve their diet as well as give something back.
Marilyn McCarthy, a Bishop's Wood Swan Rescue feeding volunteer, explained the swans were often hungry despite volunteers using loaves donated by Sainsbury's in St John's and people throwing bread.
Bread keeps the birds from starving as there is not enough plant life in the river for them but it is not their natural food and is quickly digested.
The project has created bags of feed especially for swans, ducks, coots and moorhens which is available from a number of shops.
Profits will go toward buying more swan food with any surplus money used for swan rescue's vet bills.
She said: "The swans are popular with locals and visitors.
"The peaceful sight of them below the Cathedral is one of the beauties of Worcester.
"If we want these lovely creatures here, we need to look after them as well as we can."
"It would be fantastic if lots of people would help by buying a bag for their walks along the river.
"Swans moult in summer and can't fly.
"Good nutrition means they grow healthy feathers to keep out winter's cold and wet."
The first batch of feed sold out from Worcester Cathedral gift shop within 48 hours and since then the pellets, costing £1.50, have also been stocked in Café Severn on the Quay, Croft Road, Trinity Pet Shop, Trinity Street, Nature's Way, Foregate Street, Diglis House Hotel, gift shop Swan on Friar Street and Birch Hill Dog Rescue charity shop in the Reindeer Shopping Centre.
Retailers and people wishing to take part should call Marilyn on 01905 354274 or 07742295149.

Oscar Watch: FOJ-Dub
On the Hollywood Elsewhere site, Jeffrey Wells, who always seems to misspell my name ("Eric") whenever he reacts to one of my articles, posts an Academy insider's picks for Best Pic:
Slumdog Millionaire
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Dark Knight
The supposed shocker is Dark Knight, but I wouldn't be surprised and might even be happy to see it nom'ed . Either way, I get the feeling we're getting down to it. This is beginning to feel right — particularly with Doubt garnering tepid reviews. It would also mean that both Kate Winslet movies (The Reader, which I'm reading now, and Revolutionary Road) would be shut out. Again, not a surprise. Best pics tend to be male- rather than female-oriented, and have been for quite a while.

Brasilia (AFP) Nov 14, 2012
Scientists in Brazil will try cloning endangered animal species like the jaguar, a researcher said Wednesday.
"The idea is to start with an animal that is endangered, or where species numbers have gone down sharply, such as the jaguar, the maned wolf or even the local deer," said Carlos Frederico Martins, a researcher with Embrapa Cerrado.
State-run Embrapa, the government's animal research unit, is launching the effort jointly with the Brasilia Zoo, the institutions told AFP. They are set to sign a joint agreement.
The research will also include experiments on artificial insemination and embryo transplants for species at risk.
A cloned animal would not be released back to nature, and would contribute little to saving its species in the short run.
But over time, animals that underwent artificial insemination or embryo transplants could be released.
Martins said it could be a few years before a wild animal is cloned in Brazil. A cow has already been cloned in the country and was born in March 2001.
Researchers clone farm animals to improve their desirable characteristics and efficiency. Brazil is the world's top beef exporter.

The Impact of gender identity-conscious HR structures on performance : mediating effects of gender diversity
Ali, Muhammad (2012) The Impact of gender identity-conscious HR structures on performance : mediating effects of gender diversity.

Gender identity-conscious HR structures signal an organization's perspective on gender diversity. The signal produces perceptions that the organization values gender diversity leading to a gender diverse workforce. In turn, a gender diverse workforce provides a firm with a competitive advantage which should result in higher performance. This paper tests the mediating effects of gender diversity (at non-management and management levels) in the relationship between gender identity-conscious HR structures and performance. The findings indicate that non-management gender diversity partially mediates the relationship between HR structures and productivity, and management gender diversity partially mediates the relationship between HR structures and perceived market performance.

SC slams Haryana for not accepting Dalit's murder
The Supreme Court on Thursday slammed the Haryana government for refusing to accept that the killing of an old Dalit man and his physically-challenged daughter at a village in Rohtak district by a dominant community in 2010 was a murder.delhi Updated: Oct 17, 2013 22:29 IST
The Supreme Court on Thursday slammed the Haryana government for refusing to accept that the killing of an old Dalit man and his physically-challenged daughter at a village in Rohtak district by a dominant community in 2010 was a murder.
The apex court, which dubbed the incident as "scar on the society", expressed its anguish after the state government said the 70-year-old man and his handicap daughter were "trapped" in the house after it was set on fire and the trial court has not held their death as murder.
"What a tragedy that a physically handicap girl is trapped and dies in the house set on fire and the state can't protect. What a huge tragedy. What were state government officials doing at that time?" a bench comprising justices G S Singhvi and C Nagappan said.
"Particular caste has liberty to take law in its hand and kill people," the bench said and took strong exception to Haryana government's stand that the victims cannot be rehabilitated in any village other than Mirchpur.
"They (Dalit victims) can't go there in the atmosphere of terror," the bench said when state government counsel repeatedly submitted their resettlement elsewhere is not accepted.
The bench told senior advocate Colin Gonsalves, who was appearing for the victims, that "your clients are at fault because they are poor and secondly they belong to a particular community and that is again their fault".
It said "it will not be accepted that somebody will kill human beings, particularly handicapped, because of being belonging to a particular caste".
The bench was hearing the issue of relief and rehabilitation for which it had set up a committee.
The court posted the matter for hearing on October 21.
A total of 15 people were convicted in the case by a trial court on September 24, 2011.
Three persons were sentenced to life imprisonment by a Delhi court on October 31, 2011 for their involvements in the April 2010 killings of a 70-year-old Dalit and his physically-challenged daughter at Haryana's Mirchpur village.
Five others were sentenced to varying jail terms up to five years and seven convicts were let off on probation for one year.
The court had earlier acquitted 82 out of 97 accused in the case saying the allegations levelled against them were not proved beyond reasonable doubt.
The 15 convicts, belonging to Jat community, were held guilty for setting ablaze victim Tara Chand's house, which caused the death on April 21, 2010 at Mirchpur village in Hissar district. The incident took place after a dispute between Jat and Dalit communities of the village.
The court had convicted Kulwinder, Ramphal and Rajender, who were sentenced to life term, on charges of committing unintentional killings under Section 304 of IPC.
Besides the three, 12 others were convicted on milder charges of arson, rioting and making unlawful assembly.
Six of them - Monu, Baljeet, Karamveer, Karampal, Bobal and Dharambir -- were convicted for setting ablaze the houses of Dalits.
Another six persons were held guilty of rioting, unlawful assembly and causing damages to properties by pelting stones.
The court had convicted the 15 accused after examining 68 prosecution witnesses, 44 defence witnesses and one court witness.
The accused were tried under various IPC sections dealing with murder, rioting, making unlawful assembly, promoting enmity between different communities, physical assault, creating mischief and damaging public property.
The accused resorted to rioting and attacked the houses of members of Dalit community on April 21 as a pet dog of a Dalit had barked at a group of Jats two days ago when they were passing through the colony, according to the charge sheet.
They got enraged when a Dalit boy objected to hurling of stones by Jat youths at the dog, it had said, adding later it led to the killings of Tara Chand and his physically- challenged teenaged daughter.

Tomato and Basil Hummus
Recipe by Mirj2338
I read about this on slashfood.com, one of my favorite food blogs. It was offered up as a good dip for the Superbowl, but I can vouch that it's good even for those of us who don't watch the game. I had to try this out and it was a success, served as an appetizer with Moroccan cigars (you don't smoke them, you eat them, silly) and lots of fresh pita.
Top Review by Chef Dudo
Very nice change to "ordinary" hummus. The insrtuctions did not state if to drain the chickpeas or not but I decided to drain them. Was glad I did, otherwise it would have become too soupy. Ended up using 3 garlic cloves (I love garlic) and almost 2 tablespoons tahini. Took some with me to work and was immediately asked for the recipe. Thanks for posting.

Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (15 ounce) can whole canned tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained (thanks to Chef Dudo's review for the suggestion to drain)

David Winfree: When I'm hitting my best I am driving the ball the other way, I look to get something along the out over the plate to drive. I wish it was that easy all the time, but you have to make adjustments. As I've moved up guys have better control, more movement and find your way your holes and try to exploit them. So I just try to have a game plan of what I'm going to try to stick to before the game or the series. During a season you face guys multiple times so you have an idea of what they are going to do, but they know you also, so that's why its a battle.
TwinCitiesDugout.com: What would you consider your best attribute?
David Winfree: I consider my power as my best attribute. I feel being able to drive the ball out of the ballpark is a huge part of baseball today.
TwinCitiesDugout.com: After two years in New Britain, do you feel you are ready for Rochester in 2009?
David Winfree: I feel like I am ready to move on to Rochester. I'm not saying I have had the best seasons in New Britain. I have been young for AA both years. I feel like I have done what I needed to do. I definitely know I'm capable of having a lot better years. I got off to slow starts in both of them. I know that I can do better, and I'm eager to see what next year holds.
TwinCitiesDugout.com: Why the switch from third base?
David Winfree: The switch from third base was an organizational move. I found out last off season, and worked on it hard in spring training. I still have tons to learn, but I like right field, I enjoy the challenge of guys trying to run on you. I felt like I played decent this year in the outfield, and I'm looking forward to showing them what I can do out there.
TwinCitiesDugout.com: You have arguably the best power potential in the system, is that something you pride yourself on?
David Winfree: Yes, I take a lot of pride in that. I just don't want to be a pull hitter, I take pride in being able to drive the ball out of all parts of the field.
TwinCitiesDugout.com: You tore the cover off the ball after the All-Star break, did you change anything?
David Winfree: It seems I always have a better second half of the season, that's something I need to try to work on. I would like to get off to better starts. During the beginning of the year I tried to change a lot of things in my swing and that wasn't the answer. I did the same thing last year, don't ask me why I did it again I'm still trying to figure that out. I just started to have more confidence in my ability to hit. I just needed to be more patient find better pitches to hit and not get myself out as much.
TwinCitiesDugout.com: What do you feel you need to work on the most to make it to the big leagues?
David Winfree: Like I said in the last answer, just stick to my game plan, and try to hit my pitch as much as I can. Each year you try to cut down on the amount of times you get yourself out. I need to be more patient draw more walks and trust myself hitting behind in the count. We all like to be ahead in the count, but most of the time it doesn't work out that way, and when it does I need to take advantage of it.
TwinCitiesDugout.com: Word is you could be in Minnesota by 2010, does that kind of talk excite you?
David Winfree: I don't think there is anything that excites me more than making it to the big leagues, and I must say staying there. I can only worry about things I can control, I just need to go out and do my job and perform. I know that everything else will work itself out.
TwinCitiesDugout.com: You really cut down on your strikeouts this season, was that something you wanted to work on20coming into the 2008 season?
David Winfree: I don't think I know a person in baseball that likes striking out. I don't know if I would say it was a goal, because I'm a power and along with that normally comes strikeouts. But, it's even better when you don't strike out a lot and you hit for power. I know I could of had fewer strikeouts if it weren't for the first half, but that's my own fault. Just have to work on it, and get after it next season.
TwinCitiesDugout.com: What are your goals for the 2009 season?
David Winfree: I know every year I have a goal of making it to the big leagues and staying there, I think you should that is the ultimate goal so I know that will be no different for 2009. I don't make statistical goals, I feel it makes me press to much, no matter what you do you will always have numbers in your head. I want to get better a being more patient, hitting my pitch more. I want to challenge the pitcher every at bat, and not have him challenging me. Defensively I want to become better in the outfield working on my first step and routes. Also, base running, I'm not a burner, but I feel like I don't move bad for my size once I get going. Those are just a few, I'm sure I will make more as the off season goes on.

Janet Jackson, Thandie Newton and their cast mates have been spotted hitting the red carpet at the Ziegfeld Theater on Monday, October 25.
A world premiere of "For Colored Girls" in New York City saw the arrivals of beautiful ladies who join the cast ensemble. Janet Jackson, covered in a black outfit, made a solo appearance while Thandie Newton, in a gray dress, was accompanied by husband Ol Parker.
Other actresses joining the special screening were Kerry Washington, Anika Noni Rose, Macy Gray and Loretta Devine, with actor Omari Hardwick and director Tyler Perry among the attendees. Moreover, singers Ciara and Estelle supported the event.
"For Colored Girls", previously known as "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide", is based on a 1975 play which features a series of 20 poems telling stories of love, abandonment, domestic abuse and other issues faced by black women. The drama movie will hit U.S. theaters on November 5.
Still to promote the movie, Janet Jackson appeared on "Good Morning America" on early Monday. The singer/actress admitted she is excited about the film because she has never had the chance to play a character "so bold and so shrewd."

Ok I just took the regulator out, it was pretty easy. The hardest part was trying to find what size socket to use. Once you get the air box and the power steering reservoir out of the way there is plenty of room.

Some information on testing the alternator diode pack (Rectifier) that might be useful to someone diagnosing the alternator.
1.> Once you remove the cover from the alternator, you will see six soldered terminals around the back of the alternator. These are obviously the stator windings ends.
2.> To test if your diodes are ok, you need to put your DMM (multimeter) in the diode test mode (
) symbol.
3.> Touch one DMM lead to the soldered winding end and the other to the long bolt (The alternator output, B1+) terminal. This will either give you '1' or some number (I got 436) that is the voltage drop across the diode in mV. Reverse the leads, the readings should be reverse of what you got earlier. i.e. if you got a '1' before, you will get some number now and vice a versa.
4.> Repeat this test with all the six exposed soldered ends. In each case the the reading should reverse. if you get same reading in both directions, You have a failed diode and your alternator will be putting out AC voltage.
5.> Now repeat this test with the smaller bolt coming out of the alternator.
6.> Again repeat this test between the alternator body (ground) and the winding ends. You should get the same results. Same reading in both directions from step 4,5,6 indicating a failed diode inside.
DO NOT DO THIS WITH THE CAR RUNNING. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY +ve while doing this.
This will tell you if you can get away with just changing the regulator or not.
Thanks Again!
Can anyone clarify this? Especially what the stator winding ends are, I dont see 6 of anything on the back of the alternator, here are the best pictures I could find if someone can point out these winding ends to me

Letter: Lost World War II heroes are still fondly remembered
Lost World War II heroes are still fondly remembered
My cousin, Pfc. Russ Monafo, has been gone for 70 years. He was killed in the Leyte Gulf during World War II in October of 1944. Even though he was five years my senior, I still have fond memories of him from when I was a young teenager.
I recall taking the No. 3 streetcar at Shelton Square to spend weekends with him where he lived on 14th Street with his parents. I would go with him to the gas station on Vermont and 15th Street to be with his friends, who I called the big guys. They were all in their late teens like Russ was. He would take me to the Victoria Show on Ferry Street, the Circle Show on Connecticut Street or the Senate Show on Rhode Island Street. We would play on Vermont Street when it was newly paved in 1942 or go snow shoveling during the winter. Russ would take me swimming with him and the big guys by the foot of Massachusetts Avenue.
The last time I saw my cousin Russ was when he was marching down Main Street with the 722nd Engineer Co. to catch the troop train to go to war. We exchanged a few letters, then got word from his folks he had been killed in the Philippines. He was awarded a Purple Heart. I have so many more memories of his life.
As a tribute to his life, I had his picture put up alongside the other veterans and service members at the Naval Park at Canalside. He's in the first row, second picture on the left, by the elevator. Cousin Russ, I still miss you.

WASHINGTON (Feb. 10)
Sen. Herbert H. Lehman yesterday asked Secretary of the Army Frank Pace, Jr., for an explanation of an order issued by the Army to bar American Jewish workers from employment on bases in French Morocco.
"As a matter of principle I must object to discrimination against individuals in recruitment of this kind. We are spending the money of American tax payers for the common defense of freedom. We cannot begin by discriminating against our own citizens on religious grounds," Sen. Lehman wrote to Secretary Pace.
(Major Gen. G. L. Nold, Deputy Chief of Army Engineers, told the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee on February 1 that the Army had asked state employment services to eliminate Jews from employment on construction work at a project in French Morocco because there might be a "racial" problem involving Jews and Arabs. New York State refused to cooperate with the Army and declined the request for the separation of workers on a religious basis. The Army, as a result, by-passed 20,000 eligible New Yorkers, including Jews and non-Jews.)
The New York Senator said he could " readily understand the considerations mentioned by Gen. Nold, "but could not "permit to pass unchallenged this discrimination against the State of New York in the face of the critical unemployment situation."
