The leading Test scorer will lead one of the six teams in the million-dollar prize money event, ICL project head Himanshu Modi announced today.
Lara, who retired from cricket after a disastrous World Cup campaign at home in March-April this year said he couldn't stay sway from cricket for long.
''It gives me great pleasure to join the Indian Cricket League.
You can't keep me too far from cricket and hence I return to the game in this exciting new avatar that the Essel Group has launched.
''I look forward to playing with promising youngsters from India and elsewhere along with some of my illustrious international counterparts who I've shared many an exciting moment with on the field.
''I feel honored to captain one of the ICL's city teams, and hope to use my experience in taking that team to victory in the inaugural ICL Trophy,'' he said.
Meanwhile, Mr Modi also announced roping India's World Cup winning stars, allrounder Madan Lal and pacer Balwinder Singh Sandhu in the fold.
While Madan Lal was appointed as the Delhi team coach, Sandhu was named as Director of Academies responsible for grooming the talent identified through scouting in all the regions.

A lot can happen in four hours. I don't know about the rest of you, but I can: make lunch, eat lunch, go take a shit, watch Fight Club, do school work, check my mail, check my email, browse forums, organize my tackle box of 'Mechs, etc. Now I'm sure there are more things people can do, but that's just me. However, I know for a fact something you can't do in four hours:
I might be delusional, but I'm pretty sure it takes more than four hours worth of gameplay to decide if a champion is underpowered. I say that I might be delusional because it has come to my attention that some people are already claiming that Rumble, the newest addition to the game, is useless and underpowered. According to these paragons of inteligence, Rumble is a trash champion that is a waste of IP/RP, despite the fact that these people have played all of, I don't know, TWO games with him.
Oh but it gets better. The whinning about Gangplank that started last night has continued through to today, just as strong. Apparently, the removal of his ability to deny has made him useless and uninteresting. Here's a quote that examples this:
"Really Riot? You removed the only deny in LoL. In DotA and HoN everyone can deny, which makes Gangplank's ability to do so that much more valuable. How is he ever going to play mid or solo lane again? I really see no point behind this at all, sure you can use it where ever your teams ends up fighting, but the cost is just not worth it. The deny would be better even if it gave no buff in my opinion."
To this person, I say this: Removal of an imbalanced mechaninc with no counter is NOT ruining a champion. It is balancing the game, and frankly it's about damn time that it was removed. Gang was never meant to be played that way in the first place, so this serves to fix the character.
Again, this has all been achieved in the last FOUR HOURS. Apparently that's all the time you need to call a new champion worthless and a reworked champion dead. I may sound delusional again by saying this, but I think that it takes a lot longer than four hours to decide these things. It takes quite a bit of testing to find out if something is worthless/dead.
Cool your jets kids, and give it time. A lot can happen in four hours, but balance decisions are not one of the them.

About Me*CURRENTLY NOT BOOKING*
(I got me some braces! Will be back once they're off.)
Hello, hello!
I am Gene. I'm now located in Boston. I'm not actively looking for photographers or shoots right now, but if you message me and I really, really like your work, we can collaborate. I'm also not booking lingerie/glamour shoots as well, unless you are SUPERB at it and have some sort of creativity, with more expectations than just a simple nude romp in the bed. =)
I'm pretty picky and I tend to expect a lot. I want to work with people who know what they're doing. Not just some guy who owns an expensive camera with no idea how to use it.
I expect professionalism and friendliness with the people I work with. Test shoots would be a great idea, and we can talk about more afterwards; that way, if we both communicate and do well together, we can work together more often.
PS: As harsh as it may sound - do NOT message me looking to work if all we are going to do is exchange numbers/emails. I do not like inconsistency or being stood up.

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) September 03, 2008 -- "This remarkably straightforward short book answers many of the questions that thinking people have found difficult throughout their lives. Logic is at the core of it".
That is how academic Robin Ansell describes "As it is", the first writing experiment about philosophy by Michael Greening.
The book is the result of personal thinking about free will and causal determinism and how they affect human life today as well as over centuries of evolution. Greening concludes that free will is a myth and that existence is driven totally by chance. That by chance we evolved as humans while other creatures arrived at different destinations. As the author says, the book's aim is just "to clarify the ideas in my own mind". But why not share those thoughts with a larger audience and maybe create further reflection?
Presenting facts in a remarkably simple way, Greening is able to bring to our attention many of the worlds' most fascinating theories about human evolution. But that is just a starting point. Greening says he's always been interested in human evolvement, Darwinian theories and biology, since the origin of our "species" is relevant to the understanding of our own mind and even our future.
As Ansell states in his review of the book, logic plays a fundamental role in the way this little book unfolds, whereas the final point is that free will and emotional beliefs don't govern our lives at all. If we accept the idea that humans evolved from primitive animals, Greening poses the question "at what point did free will evolve?" and explains why this idea must be illogical.
Greening doesn't attempt to destroy anyone's existent beliefs or try to convince people about his reasoning. The book is a way of sharing thoughts and a source of reflection for anyone questioning what the core of real human nature is. The strength of this book is its simplicity and fluency. Even writing about a quite difficult subject, Greening has been able to explain his points of view using simple examples drawn from his own life and probably common to most people. The book is an interesting and elementary exercise for the mind and a clear description of a subject that is still open.

The Walking Dead Renewed For a 4th Season12/21/2012
Today, AMC announces the season 4 pick-up of The Walking Dead.
AMC also jointly announces with Glen Mazzara today that for future seasons, the two parties have mutually decided to part ways. Glen guided the series creatively for seasons 2 and 3. AMC is grateful for his hard work. We are both proud of our shared success.
Both parties acknowledge that there is a difference of opinion about where the show should go moving forward, and conclude that it is best to part ways. This decision is amicable and Glen will remain on for post-production on season 3B as showrunner and executive producer.
The Walking Dead doesn't return with 3×09, 'The Suicide King,' until Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 9pm on AMC. (I feel Walking Dead withdrawal coming on already)

SEBI's new offices will be located at Chandigarh, Jaipur, Indore, Patna or Bhubaneshwar and Bangalore or Kochi
With an aim to take its services at the door-step of investors, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has decided to open five more local offices, including at Chandigarh and Jaipur, in the current fiscal.
As part of its decentralisation of work to regional offices, the Mumbai-headquartered SEBI is opening new local offices in different regions of the country.
The five new offices will be opened at Chandigarh, Raipur, Indore, Patna or Bhubaneswar and Bangalore or Kochi in 2012-13, according to an official document.
These offices have been "identified inter-alia" on the basis of number of demat accounts, registered folios, exchange trading terminals and rate of growth in beneficiary accounts. The idea behind new offices is to deepen of securities market.
The market regulator had decided to open a new Western Regional Office-I at Mumbai and three local offices at Hyderabad, Gujarat and Luck now in 2011-12. It has identified office buildings and "further work is in progress", it said.
The SEBI board in March 2011 had asked the regulator to explore scope of strengthening its regional offices. Following the board decision, a series of internal discussions took place to explore the possibility of decentralisation of work to regional offices and opening of offices at new places.During the discussions, it emerged that the investor should get the services of SEBI at his door step to promote a balanced, pan-Indian securities market. As per the regulator, physical proximity of SEBI office to investors and intermediaries would promote deepening and broadening of the securities market.
Currently, India has about two crore demat accounts, which are mandatory for investors to trade in the market
With the number of new investor accounts falling by nearly half in the last fiscal and the trade volumes nearing a plateau, SEBI (the Securities and Exchange Board of India) is mulling various steps to deepen the Indian stock market this year.
The measures are being undertaken to launch new products in the derivatives segment, already the mainstay of the market in terms of volumes, and introduce no-frills trading accounts to attract new investors to cash market as well.
While the cash segment of the stock market involves sale and purchase of shares of listed companies, the derivatives trade provides for trade in contracts whose price is derived from change in the value of one or more underlying assets. In the Indian capital market, derivative contracts are available with underlying assets like individual stocks, stock indices, currencies, and interest rates, among others. However, trade volumes have been relatively sluggish in most of the non-stock derivatives and the steps would be taken this year to boost these segments, a senior official said.
For the cash market, SEBI expects the newly proposed tax-saving equity scheme to provide a boost and could soon introduce a no-frills trading account for the benefit of new investors interested only in basic trading activities. During the just-ended financial year 2011-12, a total of about 9.5 lakh new investor accounts were opened in the country, which is almost half of about 19 lakh new accounts opened during the previous fiscal, 2010-11.
Currently, India has about two crore demat accounts, which are mandatory for investors to trade in the market. Among other steps, SEBI would look at employing latest technology and developing a team of officers with key skills in derivatives during the current fiscal.
The proposed initiatives for 2012-13 include introduction of different derivative products suitable for Indian markets, as well as work towards broadening the participation in the securities markets.
With a view to introduce new products, especially in the derivatives segment, SEBI is also reviewing the current risk management framework for exchanges, including increasing efficiency of settlement process and margining system. SEBI would also put in place the risk management and risk containment measures for derivatives on volatility, and introduce new derivatives for hedging interest rate risk. While it has already issued circulars on two-year and five-year cash settled interest rate futures, a framework for cash settling interest rate futures on 10-year GoI (Government of India) security would be laid down in consultation with the RBI.
Besides, it plans to introduce the concept of clearing members in the cash segment as well. At present, only the derivatives segment has got clearing members, who can execute trades for themselves as well as for their clients.

He had a very able and dependable associate named Vijay and at the very outset Rupak made it clear that, in true sense, he had no suitable opening for a person of my experience or calibre. Yet, he didn't want me to even talk to many others in the field, who had come to know that I was no longer associated with Ajay in terms of work. He had respect for me as I knew his father well.
The next day, Rupak picked me up en route to his nail factory in Rashidiya. While we were on the way he explained the set up there and how he had bought a defunct factory, which really was collecting rust. Rupak is a fine young man, full of energy and a great planner.
I did not take a head count, but, possibly there were 60-70 workers in the plant. Back in the office, he would know the market shortage, as the construction was still in full swing, where the nails were used in huge quantities, and he would be able to deliver the finished goods within few hours after getting the order. It was an enviable sight and he had a great staff support.
My first couple of weeks were spent in knowing what was happening; there was nothing that I really could contribute in the well-organized set up he was running. He did not want to get involved in getting another dirty item like CI pipes or fittings, as these he could command a price advantage by simply buying on cash and selling on credit to his own selected customers. So, why should he import these, when these were available locally from others?
It was at this time, unusually, I received a call from a friend, by the name of Trinath; he had called home, and my wife directed him to call the office. A brief reference to Trinath would be only fair.
A few years earlier, when I was walking down the street in Hong Kong, may be a hundred yards away, I saw someone who looked very much like an Indian. He must have been doing the same thing too; when we came to the contact point, "Are you from India?" was the question that we both asked each other! After lunch, I took him to South Sea Centre, where our office was located and Amanda was busy handling a supplier.
He explained that he was one of the leading manufacturers of ties in New Delhi, popularly known as 'Zorex', and he was occasionally making ties for others on contract basis. Besides, he was making shirts and exporting them, too. He was on a visit, looking for some Chinese suppliers in Hong Kong, who could meet his needs; he had the necessary import license, as he was an exporter. I immediately authorized Amanda to assist him during his stay and for the next couple of days they were able to finalize business. At the end of it, when he wanted to pay for our services, I requested him to send the commission to the company, as Amanda had really worked for it, and by doing this service, she was acquiring new knowledge on a business that we knew nothing about. After that, we exchanged a few courteous faxes, but nothing happened.
Now this Trinath was on line, asking me to visit the Jebel Ali Free Zone and find out if they were actually permitting the establishment of garment factories and more importantly, if they were giving visas for ladies to work, as staff in these units were mostly girls. He was excited about this possibility and he asked me to look into this area seriously; he said "Mr Ram, this is a profitable, long term business, work on it."
I had been to the free zone earlier and generally knew that they were inviting investors to set up factories there, and assuring them of great support in terms of sheds, space and unlimited visas, and no condition of national's participation. In other words, a foreigner could set up a company or manufacturing unit, without a local partner, which was compulsory outside the free zone.
I met a wonderful officer by name Saif Sultan; after discussions, he introduced me to Sheikh Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem (chairman). We had a very detailed talk after I had shown keen interest. Once I established the rapport with Saif Sultan, I took Rupak for the discussion, who, based on my talks, had alerted his contact in Sri Lanka, where there were hundreds of factories, and they had no restriction of sending women workers abroad; India had this restriction at that time and Pakistan had officially banned their women to go abroad for work.
A lot of work was done by Rupak and his friend in Colombo, who actually located a suitable partner for collaboration. They were ready to move in at short notice provided we got the industrial license and commitment to get visas for girls and make arrangements for their safe stay. We obtained the license on 16 October 1984and went into production on 7 January 1985, and had a compliment of 240 boys and girls in the plant.
It was my first experience in dealing with such a large number of people whose language was foreign to me; we had only a couple of guys, a manager like Donald who could communicate, as we began to work at the factory site, which was part of a huge warehouse. I was processing visas on one hand and on the other, co-ordinating with the electrical contractor for the factory lay out plan; ordering for stools, cutting tables and other related items. It was hectic and long hours of work, with the initial A team we had received, whose job was to fix the sewing machines (which had been received on a CKD basis); matters relating to finance, on L/C opening for machinery and raw materials and co-ordinating with the Sri Lankan counterpart were ably done by Rupak himself.
I think a week or ten days after the electrical work had began, I got a call from the contractor that William McFadden, the engineer from the free zone had come and stopped the work and ordered people to leave the shed, as we had not obtained an approval of the layout plan for the factory from his office. While this was true, I had no idea that we had to get permission from him before commencing work at the site. I rushed back to chief engineer Brown, presented my sob story of being ignorant and sought his assistance. He gave me 48 hours to submit the drawings, which I managed to do, and our work was completed smoothly.
If I remember correctly, the work staff arrived on 4th and 5th January in two lots and our actual production started on 7 January 1985.
William McFadden was not going to be easy on us, because we had gone over his head to his superiors; so a couple of months later, raised to issue of air- conditioning the plant, because the heat would be unbearable by May. This shed was also shared by three other garment manufacturers and, in the initial stages everyone was simply minding his own business and not communicating with each other. We incurred additional expenses on this but work did not stop.
Production and exports from Gulf Industries began in right earnest; we had our own ups and downs; there were regular visits from our Sri Lankan associates and their Inbaraj was a popular figure when he visited the plant. There was no dearth of orders; and I began my quest for getting space on Air India to carry our cargo once in a while at least, but they were overbooked at Bombay stage itself.
We arranged for a fortnightly visit for site-seeing and market visit; medical facilities were readily made available and by the time we closed the factory and delivered the whole female staff to their camp, it was generally around 9.30pm almost every night. My days were 12 working hours every day, and even on Fridays, our staff worked for half a day, and the other half was spent for their personal marketing.
This was the time I developed the desire to learn the trade a little more, picked up a bit of Sinhala language, their customs and realised how close they were to our own people in India.
A few months after our successful launching of the garment factory, Rupak began his quest for shifting the nail factory from Rashidiya to the Jebel Ali Free Zone. We began our discussions with Saif, who was kind to show us around many sheds. Eventually we chose one that would be suitable to our needs and we had to get help from the free zone for getting the labour licenses for all the staff that was in Rashidiya. We provided all the necessary available documents and the transfer of the plant and the staff took place over a couple of months, as these came section by section, and we did not want to disrupt our supplies to the market.
We needed a qualified and experienced technical hand in running this new operation smoothly. With the help Venkatraman, manager of EEPC at Nairobi, we were able to get my former colleague's son, Agrahari, who was running a nail factory there, to join us in Dubai. The nail factory became a great money-spinner for Rupak, the enterprising young man with a far-reaching vision.
The manufacturers in the free zone, began to get to know each other, as their numbers increased; Palmon had mostly staff from Philippines; most other female staff members came from Sri Lanka while some factories had men only, but in the end the overall population of garment workers was increasing, thanks to the great support that chairman Sheikh Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem was extending for its growth.
I had a two-year contract and this was due to expire shortly and I had many proposals from known businessmen who wanted me to join on a profit sharing basis. It was at this time I also found that some changes in the management were on the anvil. It was time for me to leave and fend for myself with a working partner who was willing to give me a freer hand than what I was experiencing. After a chat with the owner, I decided to call it a day.

The former Mexican international also credited the additional time spent on preparations for his side's dominant performance against Ulsan Hyundai in the FIFA Club World Cup.
A Cesar Delgado double and an early effort from Jesus Corona gave Monterrey a commanding 3-1 win over Ulsan Hyundai in the quarterfinal, setting up a tantalizing date with Chelsea in the semifinals, as Monterrey got over the initial hump in its second try in as many years.
"Our first aim was to reach the next stage," Vucetich said at his post-match conference. "We lost by penalty kicks last year against Kashiwa Reysol, but I am very happy we achieved our aim in this year. The experience helped us very much.
"This time, we had much more time to prepare and did analysis on the Korean opposition a month in advance. Last year against Kashiwa, it just three or four days before. This year, we were in good condition for the game."
Vucetich also mentioned that he was counting on the experience of his international stars like Argentinian Delgado to help overcome its next opponent.
"Chelsea are a very famous team in the world, but we want to do our best," he added. "We want to play again like we did in today's game. We also have players with international experience who will be important."

Make it a fun one, @Chris D!
Happy birthday Chris!
XFMG 1.0.1 was released on Dec 2, maybe you want to release XFMG 1.0.2 today Jan 2 as a birthday gift
I think he would much prefer to have the day off.
I would also wind in the constant posts referencing releases every few days, its becoming somewhat repetitive... pushing for them to happen wont make them happen any sooner.
Happy Birthday Chris.
I have a prediction guys: next January 2nd Chris will have a birthday. The facts: last year on Jan 2, he had a birthday, the year before on Jan 2, he had a birthday. There's a pattern, it's going to happen.

Three nonprofits are expected to get $1.5 million in federal grants to help Louisiana residents get coverage through the federal online health insurance marketplace offered in accordance with the Affordable Care Act.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced the anticipated grants will go to:
- The Southwest Louisiana Area Health Education Center, $1,023,256
- The National Healthy Start Association, $391,846
- The Capital Area Agency on Aging, District II, in Baton Rouge, $110,000
In 2013, the Southwest center received $1.1 million and Capital Area Agency $100,000 in navigator grant funding.
"This is what's going to make this year so much better than last year. This funding will sustain the program that we've already set up as opposed to starting from scratch like we did the first year," said Brian Burton, state director of the Southwest Louisiana Area Health Education Center.
Burton's group will serve as something of the lead navigator entity in the state, with navigators covering areas throughout the state.
The navigators help people shop for and enroll in health coverage through the online health insurance marketplace.
The 2013 grant funding ended Aug. 15, so some of the center's original navigators were furloughed, but the center will try to get as many of those back as possible, Burton said.
A lot of changes have taken place since last year, so each of the navigators will have to go through another 20 hours of training, Burton said. Last year, navigators had to complete an online course and be registered with the federal government. This year, the navigators will be licensed by the state Department of Insurance.
National Healthy Start served as a navigator in Wisconsin and West Virginia but is expanding its efforts to several additional states.
Two of the original grant winners, Southern United Neighborhoods and Martin Luther King Health Center, were not among the grant recipients in 2014. Southern United received $486,123 to help enroll people in Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas. Martin Luther King Health Center in Shreveport received $81,066 in 2013 to help people in Caddo and Bossier parishes.
According to HHS, the 2013 grant recipients had to reapply to receive 2014 funds.
Past performance was taken into account when the agency made the awards. However, some of the original navigator nonprofits did not apply for a second round of funding while others lost out because the federal government reduced the amount of money available for navigators, among other factors.
Burton said the Southwest Center will work with its regional and statewide advisory panels to identify the areas where there are gaps in coverage and then take steps to fill those gaps.
The navigators helped an estimated 10.6 million consumers nationally apply for coverage in marketplace plans, Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program during the first open enrollment period. The Southwest Center and Capital Area Agency on Aging helped more than 42,000 individuals and families with enrollment. Around 102,000 Louisiana residents bought coverage through the online marketplace.

Despite tornado warnings for the Tuscaloosa area, more than a thousand fans were on hand at Coleman Coliseum to cheer the Alabama athletes on. "The players want people to know what they're doing," Pollard said. "This environment really helps. If we could do all of our testing this way, I couldn't keep up with the numbers."
Bacon's jump was intended to be just an exhibition, demonstrating to the crowd how the vertical jump is measured. But after an impressive first effort, the atmosphere helped Bacon set a new mark of 42 inches. "I was ready to stop," Bacon related. "But the crowd got into it and you have to keep going. That was THE highest I've ever jumped. The adrenaline was really pumping. It had to be. Without it, I wouldn't have done it.
"I actually liked all the people. Of course I've always been one that liked the attention. It only makes me do better."
Besides Bacon, other players setting records Tuesday night were sophomore tailback Josh Smith (465 pounds) and linebacker Cornelius Wortham (480 pounds) in the bench press; defensive tackle Anthony Bryant (755 pounds) and tight end Theo Sanders (550 pounds) in the squat; offensive guard Justin Smiley (415 pounds) and receiver Lance Taylor (365 pounds) in the hang clean and receiver Dre Fulgham (390 pounds), offensive guard Marico Portis (450 pounds) and fullback Nick Signaigo (415 pounds) in the incline press.
Others participating in the event were linebacker Mark Anderson, receiver Brandon Brooks, center J.B. Closner, defensive lineman Jarret Johnson, tight end Clint Johnston, linebacker Juke King, defensive back Anthony Madison, defensive back Charlie Peprah, receiver Lance Taylor and tailback Shaud Williams.
"The crowd was unreal, totally unreal," Signaigo said. "They got me jacked, man! I never thought I could do 415 (pounds), but being in front of this crowd was unreal. When I first got here and saw everybody coming in, I started getting nervous a little bit. But you get in that zone. You don't see anybody, and you're ready to throw some weight up. It was unreal."
It was Coach Pollard and his athletes' night to show off a bit, so Head Coach Dennis Franchione stayed mostly off to the side as a spectator. But he was definitely proud of what he saw. "I think the crowd enjoyed it, and the players are motivated by it," Franchione said afterwards. "I've done this now for almost 15 years. It's a great way to end the off season, though there really never is an off season anymore. It's a great way to culminate the spring. Take a little break before finals. It achieves all the things I wanted to achieve."
The obvious gains in strength were gratifying to Franchione, but he was even prouder of the players and how they cheered each other on. "The spirit it develops on your team is tremendous," he said. "The characteristics of spirit, camaraderie, loyalty, teamwork, excitement for each other's success. It's a big night in that regard. Those are sometimes parts of this that are overlooked.
"We all recognize Anthony Bryant's 750-pound squat, but to see his teammates excited for Anthony is more important."
It was hard to miss big 'Bear' Bryant as the junior defensive lineman stepped up and squatted 755 pounds, breaking a record that had stood for more than a decade. But Theo Sanders shrugging off several injuries to better his own mark by 25 pounds was just as impressive. "I'm a tough guy, you know--I had to do what I had to do," Sanders said laughing. "The crowd really motivates you to get the job done. I was under a lot of stress up under that weight. The crowd did help."
Having set the hang clean mark for tight ends earlier in the month, Sanders now owns three of the four records for his position. "Joe Yount still holds the flat bench press record (for tight ends) at 435 pounds," Sanders said. "I'll get that one in the summer."
"We really got into a competition tonight," Pollard said. "Even more than goes on in the weight room. With testing and classes you don't end up with everybody there that you want to be."
One interesting showdown occurred on the incline bench press, where good friends and fellow seniors Marico Portis and Alonzo Ephraim went back and forth with the O-Line record. "Coach Fran added Alonzo at the last minute, because in the weight room he went five pounds over my old record," Ephraim related. "They put him in so we would compete against each other and get a higher lift. But my name is still up on the wall."
Ephraim came close, but Portis' 450-pound lift set the record. "I told Alonzo before we came over here, I said 'Whatever it is, I'm going to get it.'"
Junior Cornelius Wortham turned in his own record-setting performance, hoisting 480 pounds on the flat bench press to better Saleem Rasheed's old mark for linebackers. "Going into spring we knew that I had a chance at the record," Wortham related. "Coming into tonight I knew I felt good about it. So I said I was going to go for the gold tonight. I knew I had two years left to try and break it, but I wanted to go ahead and get it out of the way tonight.
"The crowd gives you that extra push. They're yelling and the adrenaline starts. You try to funnel all that in and push the weight up."
In addition to the record-setting lifts, defensive back Roberto McBride, tight end Theo Sanders, defensive end Antwan Odom and defensive lineman Atlas Herrion were named "Iron Men" for the 2002 season. The Iron Man Award is based on proportionate amount of weight lifted per pound of body weight.
"I think we've put ourselves in a position to really have a great summer," Pollard said. "You look a the numbers and think that if we make a little more progress by the end of the summer, then we'll be fine. It's harder to peak 15 days after spring ball, so I expect to have a good summer.
"We've got a lot of seniors. We've got a lot of kids that want to win, that have something to prove."

Lefty got left behind at the Colonial, and also left out of the chance to become the world's No. 1-ranked golfer.
Phil Mickelson's 3-over 73 today put him at a 4-over 144 after two rounds of the Colonial, not good enough to make the cut. With a tournament victory, he could have surged ahead of Tiger Woods and become No. 1 in the world for the first time in his career.
"I played terrible. I don't know what to say," Mickelson said. "The course was in great shape, there was no wind and there were a lot of birdies out there, and I just played terrible."
Missing the cut means Mickelson also won't be on hand Saturday when most players are expected to wear pink, a tradition that began last year in honor of Mickelson's wife Amy, just after she learned she had breast cancer.
"I'll be wearing pink tomorrow, but in San Diego," Mickelson said. "Monday is Amy's birthday and so it will give me a chance to spend a weekend with her to celebrate."

It's the day after the Charleston church shooting, and the Confederate flag remained flying on the grounds of the South Carolina Capitol building through the afternoon.
Last year, Governor Nikki Haley rejected a suggestion that the the flag be removed because she'd never had "one conversation with a single CEO about the Confederate flag."
Because what's a better representative for the disenfranchised, the historically brutalized, than the 1%?
Add this to the fact that South Carolina is one of only five states that doesn't have a designated hate crime law, and that it celebrated "Confederate Memorial Day" this past May, and you see why this isn't just about a flag or sensitivity over the flag.
A state that flies the confederate flag can't figure out why nine black people were shot and killed by a white man. ???? #CharlestonShooting — Jacob Vail (@JacobVail1)

Some people claim that the flag commemorates the soldiers who fought in the Civil War, that it is a piece of history. But as Mother Jones puts it, the flag is a "remnant of segregation, not the Civil War."
It is a piece of history, but a dark one. And our memory of it should not be one of pride.
But the nuances of this conversation are lost on those who cry "political correctness," who claim that the flag has no connection to the violence and racism that's plaguing the country. That each single case of violence or racism have no connection to each other, that they aren't symptomatic of a river running deeper than any one story.

The Charleston Post and Courier ran a gun ad right next to its article about the Church attack. They said it was just "unfortunate timing" and "apologize to those who were offended."
But it wasn't unfortunate timing. "Timing" is not an issue when the problem is ongoing. The Confederate flag, the gun ad, and the Charleston shooter have one thing in common: they're symbols of violence. And the victims are Black men and women.
As for the apology to "those who were offended," what a round dismissal of a community's concerns. What a clear omission of the cause of the offense, the perpetrators of the offense, and the Post's complicity.
It's not "political correctness." It's not about putting up a façade of politeness or sensitivity. It's about ethics and ideology and the impact they have on real human lives.

But people will continue to resist the truth about the Confederate flag, gun ads, casual violence and racism. They did the same thing with slavery once, too.
History repeats itself.

I don't know if this has been suggested before--sorry if it has--but I just randomly got an interesting idea for combatting RMT.
Here it is:
NMs are known for dropping items unique to them. For every one of these NM-unique items, each character has a modifier that affects the drop rate for that item. This modifier ranges from 0 to 1, and defaults at 1. Each time you kill a NM and get the drop, your modifier for that item falls by a certain amount, say 10%. Now, every item that can drop from a mob has a base drop rate. The actual drop rate, though, is going to be this base rate times the average multiplier of everyone who established hate on the mob.
Here's a few examples:
A, B, and C are in a party together. They are fighting an NM named Mobber that can only drop one item, Item X, and it has a base drop rate of 10%.
1) If this is the first time A, B, and C have ever encountered Mobber, then their average modifier will be 1 ( [1+1+1]/3 ), and the actual drop rate will be 10% ( 1*10% )
2) If A, B, and C are RMT and have killed Mobber and got the drop 22, 17, and 30 times respectively, then their average modifier will be 0.1025 ( [.9^22+.9^17+.9^30]/3 ), and the actual drop rate will be 1.025% ( 0.1025*10% )
3) If A, B, and C are casual players who have killed Mobber and got the drop 1, 0, and 6 times respectively, then their average modifier will be 0.8105 ( [.9^1+1+.9^6]/3 ), and the actual drop rate will be 8.105% ( 0.8105*10% )
Now, the modifier would have to slowly reset so you aren't permanently penalized for killing NMs. Maybe .25 a week? People need to be able to help their friends kill NMs too! Haven't fully fleshed out all the possibilities here, but you get the point. Bonus points for anyone who has an idea how to implement this in a way that maximizes the reset for legitimate players (helping their friends and whatnot) while still preventing RMT from just going on a circuit and killing a new NM every couple days or something.
Anyway, doing this will prevent the same players from monopolizing the drops for any NM. The % that the modifier drops for every NM kill could be adjusted on a mob-by-mob basis, too, to prevent horrible drop rates on NMs that normal players might need to kill often. It might even be zero for instanced NMs, because there's no worry about monopolization there.
Edited to look prettier ha
Also edited to take TandoPandemonium's positive criticism into account :P
And to take Twangaz's excellent time-reset idea into account (twice, had to clarify it)

Fast Track Construction
Is It Too Good To Be True? Can It Really Deliver?

The construction industry is a fertile field for colorful and racy jargon. New words and terms spring up most regularly, usually for the purpose of promoting something or for confusing the issues to gain economic advantage. A stylish new term of the past twenty-five years is Fast Track Construction. It is a no-nonsense term that rolls easily off the tongue and conjures up images of expedition, economy, efficiency, and directness of purpose. The word track connotes a direct, unswerving route to a predetermined destination. The term as a whole promises efficacious and accelerated construction and we can all accept that time is money. But, is it reasonable to expect that fast track construction will always live up to these optimistic prospects?
The answer is a qualified yes. It could work well and often does. But only under ideal conditions. And only when the owner, architect, and contractor all conduct themselves properly and reasonably. Otherwise, the results can be extremely disappointing and distressful to all concerned. According to one realistic construction industry expert, "Experience indicates Fast Track construction will be delayed and cost more than any other method." (Note 1)
What Is Fast Track Construction?
The normal process of construction scheduling involves the performance of a series of discrete functions, one after the other, in a predetermined sequential order. The customary logical order of these functions is programming, design, governmental approvals, bidding and negotiation, contract award, construction, and finally, completion. This is shown on the first line of the accompanying diagram (Normal Construction Schedule). Each activity is virtually completed before the next may be commenced. To perform all of these functions will take a certain amount of time.
Working Faster. The usual way of shortening the time scale is by increasing productivity, that is, by completing each function as efficiently as possible and starting each new phase immediately upon completion of the preceding phase. Everything is done in proper order and no time is wasted.
Concurrent Work. Another way of saving total elapsed time would be by compression of the time schedule. That is, by overlapping some of the functions, doing two things at the same time. This would be accomplished by starting a new phase of work where possible before the preceding phase is completed. Time saved by concurrent work will accumulate and appear at the end of the construction period in the form of early overall completion.
Organizing the project to produce early completion by the technique of concurrent or overlapping time scheduling is the essence of fast track construction.
How Can This Be Done?
The usual procedure for overlapping functions entails the contractor's earlier involvement in the project. However, there is no generally accepted standard system or approach. Every fast track project can be different.
Some owners will select and engage a contractor to confer with the architect during the early stages of design. (Note 2) The contractor's advisory input during the early stages will assist the architect in making practical and economical choices from readily available materials and systems. Architects and engineers would generally profit from the experienced contractor's review, consultation, advice, and pragmatic judgment.
The contractor then starts producing provisional construction budgets and time schedules that are then continuously refined and updated as more precise design information is simultaneously developed by the architect.
Upon the owner's approval of the completed Design Development Phase documents, the contractor can start in earnest seeking subcontractor interest and more definitive prices. At this juncture the size and character of the project will have been fairly well determined and described. The architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical systems, materials, and other elements will have been resolved in principle, but the drawings and specifications will not yet be sufficiently advanced for actual construction or for submittal to governmental agencies for their review. Any suggestions to be advanced by the contractor or required by the owner should be made at this time, as it will be simple and economical to incorporate them into the next stage of the architect's work.
The third and final design stage, the Construction Documents Phase, comprises an enormous amount of coordination, synthesis, and sheer production of documents, both graphic and verbal. It involves the intimate cooperation of structural, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering and architectural personnel. All of the drawings and specifications must be properly interrelated and consistent. Precise details are being finalized and everything must be technically correct. Changes in the program during this high volume production phase usually are very complicated and therefore costly. They create confusion and delay and significantly increase opportunities for error.
As the construction documents progress, the contractor will be able to monitor the architect's use of materials and selection of systems and to gradually refine the cost breakdown and time schedule.
The Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP)
By the time the construction documents are about 60 to 70 percent complete they may be submitted to governmental authority for review, approval, and issuance of building permits. At the same time the contractor can stabilize the breakdown of estimated costs and determine a guaranteed maximum price. As the contract documents are still incomplete, the GMP is necessarily predicated upon the contractor's insightful assumptions and accurate predictions of what will be included in the final state of the documents. The contractor must have included in the GMP all work that is shown on the drawings and in the specifications at that time, but also that which is reasonably inferable or expected.
If the GMP and time schedule are acceptable to the owner, the contract may be executed and the contractor may start construction as soon as the building permit is issued.
The time compression described in this scenario, shown in the second line of the diagram (Fast Track Construction Schedule), consists of:
(a) The bidding and negotiation period is completely concurrent with the design and governmental approval periods.
(b) The governmental approval period commences before the design period ends.
(c) The construction period commences immediately after governmental approval even though design is not completed.
Faster Track
Even more schedule compression is possible by other variations in technique. For example, by obtaining limited governmental approval of the foundations so they may be constructed concurrently with completion of the construction documents and the governmental review process. This is illustrated in the third line of the diagram (Fast Track Construction Schedule - With Early Foundation Start). This technique carries with it an additional formidable risk: If the building officials, as they continue their structural engineering review, later require any adjustments in the foundation design, it may be costly to correct the affected members in the field if they have already been constructed. This is a normal condition imposed by governmental authority as a quid pro quo for premature or piecemeal approval. In this case all of the time gained could be lost and then some. In addition, the cost of removing or reconstructing the footings or grade beams would be wasted, thereby causing owner dissatisfaction with the stru tural checkers. Accordingly, some jurisdictions no longer allow "foundation only" permits.
There are many other possible variations in arrangement of the work schedule to compress the time scale. The maximum theoretical amount of time that can be saved will vary from one project to another depending upon their individual characteristics.
Selecting the Contractor
In as much as the contractor must be brought in at a very early stage in fast track, it is difficult to obtain genuine general contractor price competition. If bidding competition is an absolute owner requirement, the contractor cannot be selected until after the drawings and specifications are available, at least to the level of 60 or 70 percent completion. This would effectively rule out any contractor input during the early design stages when the most significant costaffecting decisions are being made.
Contractors bidding from incomplete documents will be at a distinct disadvantage. If they price the work to include all that is inferable from the unfinished documents, they will not be competitive with other contractors who infer something less. The bidder who infers the least could end up with the low bid and will almost certainly be later involved in a dispute with the owner as to what was reasonably inferable.
For these reasons, it would make better sense to select a contractor on the basis of comparative experience, reputation, recommendations, and interviews. The price competition at the level of subcontractors and suppliers will normally be quite sufficient to protect the owner's interests. As a part of the selection process the contractor remuneration system or formula can be discussed, negotiated, and adopted.
An experienced owner may, usually with the architect's assistance, choose a suitable contractor on whom the owner can rely to be honest and competent and who has the required financial and practical resources to accomplish the assignment. If the owner has serious reservations concerning the contractor's qualifications or character the contract cannot possibly succeed. Mistrust and suspicion will breed dissatisfaction, and ultimately, unresolvable disputes. Any expectation of saving time by the fast track process will be long gone. There will be only contention, delay, and higher costs, as could have been reasonably predicted.
Owners who require general contractor bidding competition and who cannot abide the uncertainties of bidding from incomplete documents should not get involved with fast track construction.
The Fast Track Contract Form
The contract payment system that is in widespread use in fast track is based upon reimbursement of the actual cost of the work plus a fixed or percentage fee for the contractor. This can be with or without a guaranteed maximum price. (Note 3)
Possibly, the contractor will be paid an additional consulting fee for advisory and cost estimating services during the design period. In this system the construction contract could be executed either before any services are performed or, alternatively, after the GMP is agreed upon, prior to commencement of construction. This could be accomplished by two contracts, the first for advisory and costing phase services and the second for the construction phase, or, if desired, by a single contract cancellable at the end of the advisory service if the construction is cancelled or the owner decides to part with the contractor.
Necessary Adjustments of the GMP and Time Schedule
Although the owner may regard the GMP as inviolate, the contractor will rightly expect it to be appropriately adjusted to reflect any deviations from the drawings and specifications and their reasonable inferences. The contractor will also expect that the contract time will be fairly adjusted to reflect unforeseen occurrences and unbudgeted changes in conditions.
This is an area rich in the probability of misunderstanding. The owner and architect will generally assume that all inferences in the incomplete documents are obvious and should have been understood by the contractor, therefore no change in price or time is expected or justified when the completed documents are gradually, or finally, issued.
Unsurprisingly, the contractor will take an opposing view. When the contractor's position is found correct by a fair contract administrator or an arbitrator, then the GMP must be raised and the sacrosanct completion date will have been breached. The only practical solution for resolving cost and time overruns at this point is to immediately reduce the scope or quality of the project. This could be a serious disillusionment to an owner who thought the maximum price and time were absolutely guaranteed.
The Architect's Problems
Expect More Errors. Under normal time scheduling, prudent architects, in consonance with their engineering consultants, take great pains to check their work product in the hope of culling out errors and to make sure that the work of all disciplines is coordinated. Even with the most rigorous reviewing and checking procedures, some errors and anomalies will inevitably slip through.
In the fast track process, incomplete drawings and specifications are incrementally released for bidding, governmental review, and construction. Although architects and engineers should have checked their work meticulously at this point, some errors and omissions will undoubtedly be later uncovered during the completion of the documents and in the field as construction progresses. Also, as the drawings and specifications are being further developed, situations will arise where it would seem advisable to change previously released designs and details.
More Change Orders. To correct errors or to change to more advantageous designs will require more change orders than would be common under normal construction scheduling. This will be an inconvenience to the contractor, sometimes an embarrassment to the architect, and usually added cost to the owner. There is also the added risk of jobsite confusion and construction delay.
Will it Save Time or Money?
Although the Fast Track Construction method has the potential of saving time, there can be no reasonable expectation of always saving money. The monetary saving is primarily in the value of the time saved, if it materializes.
The final construction cost will be about the same as in any other cost plus contract with or without a GMP. However, in fast track contracts the construction contingency allowance must, prudently and realistically, be higher to cover the always expected but unknown costs of erroneous inferences and faulty predictions. So it is distinctly possible that a normal construction schedule with a smaller contingency reserve will produce a lower final total cost. It is also possible that the misunderstandings and erroneous inferences due to incomplete documents inherent in the fast track method will cause a loss of some or all of the overlapping advantages and thus yield a completion date on or after that of a normal time schedule.
When Should Fast Track Be Used?
Fast Track Construction should not be attempted unless the owner is under real pressure to achieve a specific mandatory completion date. The owner, architect, and contractor must all be completely acquainted with the process and must enter into it fully aware of the inherent problems. They must be willing to engage in the give and take of compromise, and to assume reasonable and flexible attitudes. Even with all of the extraordinary efforts expended to achieve the time savings available in fast track construction, it is possible to lose them all in the event of labor disruption, material unavailability, unpredicted inclement weather, fire, accident, earthquake, or any of a number of other unfortunate occurrences.

2. There are three distinct stages of the architect's design services: Schematic Design Phase, Design Development Phase, and Construction Documents Phase, performed in that order. The work of these phases is somewhat self-descriptive but is fully described in Article 2.4 of the AIA Owner-Architect Agreement, Document B141-1997.
3. A suitable contract form for this application is AIA's Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor, where the basis for payment is the Cost of the Work Plus a Fee with a Negotiated Guaranteed Maximum Price, Document A111-1997. This should always be used in conjunction with AIA's General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, Document A201-1997.
4. When assessing the probability of uncalculated adversity, one cannot completely ignore the prescient insight of the apocryphal Gaelic lawgiver, who observed, "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." (Murphy's Law)
