On Monday night, my Los Angeles Angels begin their quest for a franchise record third consecutive A.L. West title, as they face their northern California rivals, the Oakland Athletics, in the first game of the 2009 season. But after two early first round playoff exits at the hands of the Boston Red Sox in 2007 and 2008, most of my fellow Angel fans are looking for a little more than a division championship this year. A World Series is what many of us have in mind.
As a result of the Angels' success this decade, the majority of Halo fans are not content with playoff appearances and A.L. West crowns. We've tasted a World Series title in 2002, and seven years later, our appetites are begging for another one. On one hand you can call us impatient, but on the other hand, it goes to show you that the Angels are now officially a big market team with high expectations.
But don't take my word for it. Just ask Forbes. When Angels owner Arte Moreno purchased the club in 2001, it took him just $180 million to acquire the then Anaheim Angels. Now it would take an estimated $500 million to buy the Angels according to a Forbes' 2008 report. The fact that the Angels are now the 6th most valuable team in all of baseball, illustrates that this franchise, like the Yankees, Mets, and Red Sox, has now entered big-time. But being a big-time ballclub like those east coast teams comes at a price. You must take home a World Series title. No excuses. That's the matra for the Halos as they begin the 2009 season on Monday.
2009 Season Preview
Offseason Activity: The Halos got outfielder Bobby Abreu off the discount shelf for a little over $4 million and also signed former Colorado reliever Brian Fuentes to replace record-breaking closer Francisco Rodriguez, who signed with the New York Mets. Along with K-Rod, the Halos also lost Garret Anderson, Jon Garland and Mark Teixeria via free agency.
The Skinny: On paper the Angels don't look nearly as good as that 100 win team from 2008. There will be no Mark Teixeira at first base, Garret Anderson will no longer roaming the grounds in left field, and Francisco Rodriguez won't be entering the game in the 9th inning. To make matters worse, the team will be missing its three top pitchers, Ervin Santana (elbow), Kelvim Escobar (shoulder) and John Lackey (forearm), for the first month of the season. But even with these "glaring holes," as Dodger fans are quick to point out, the Halos have once again positioned themselves to be among the best in all of baseball if you take a closer look.
The new additions to the Angels' lineup should allow the offense to become one of the better units in all of baseball even without the presence of the "big bat." Bobby Abreu, who posted 100 RBIs and .296 batting average in 2008, and Juan Rivera, who hit 23 home runs in 2006, should provide an upgrade in the outfield/DH slot over Anderson and Gary Matthews Jr. Abreu bettered Anderson in nearly every statistical category in 2008, and I would find it hard to imagine that any Angel fan is crying for Matthews to get his old starting spot back. An injury-free Vladimir Guerrero and a rejuvenated Torii Hunter should give the Angels one of the deepest outfields in the American League.
But the infield is where the biggest question marks surround. Second baseman Howie Kendrick has proven to be capable of winning a batting title, as evident by his .306 BA last year and his .360 BA in the minors. However, he has had trouble remaining injury free. Last season he appeared in just 92 games as a result of two hamstring injuries.
Shortstop Erick Aybar is renowned for his defensive skills, but his performance at the plate has been shaky at best. Last season he recorded an OBP of .314 that was lower than some players' BA. But reports from Tempe, Arizona, this past month indicated that Aybar was having one heck of a spring. But will Aybar's 2009 performance be more like the '09 spring or '08? While Mike Napoli and Jeff Mathis make a solid catcher duo and third baseman/utilityman Chone Figgins remains as consistent as ever atop the Angels' batting order, the most intriguing aspect of the infield is the replacement for Mark Teixeira, Kendry Morales.
There is a reason that GM Tony Reagins felt confident enough to deal Casey Kotchman last July. It's Kendry Morales. The Cuban switch-hitter has been one of the Angels' most highly regarded minor league prospects over the past few seasons. He isn't as refined defensively as Kotchman, but his bat is just as good or better. While Kotch lacked power, Morales is known for his power and has also proved to be capable of hitting for average as well. His BA in the minors was .332. From all accounts, he has had a solid spring, and while he is nowhere near Teixeira level yet, it's not out of the question that he could post better numbers than Kotchman.
However, all the problems that threaten the Angels' 2009 World Series hopes rest in their starting rotation. On paper, things look good with four former all-stars in the past two seasons, Jon Lackey, Kelvin Escobar, Ervin Santana, and Joe Saunders, all occupying spots on the Halos' roster.
But here is where Angel fans start pressing the panic button. Lackey, Escobar, and Santana, will all open the season on the disabled list. Lackey will miss the first month of the season like last year, Escobar won't be back until late April, and Santana will be out until at least late April. It won't be easy to replace those guys when the season begins Monday. While one month isn't a lot, there is still the possibility that any one of them could experience a setback and miss even more time.
In their absence Joe Saunders will be the team's clear-cut number one starter, but the cupboard is bare when you get past him. Since his breakout 2006 season, Jered Weaver's numbers have declined in each of the two subsequent years, and his ERA was up in the sevens this spring. Not exactly what you're looking for out of your number two starter.
While Dustin Moseley and Nick Adenhart have had solid springs, they have had limited big league experience or even success. In 61 major league appearances and over 150 innings, Moseley has posted an astronomical ERA of 5.52 and a WHIP of 1.55. Adenhart hasn't fared much better either with a 9.00 ERA and 2.58 WHIP in just three big league starts. Rounding out the rotation is some some guy named Shane Loux. Loux, now 29 years old, has been a minor leaguer for most of his career. Outside of his 16 innings of relief work in 2008, the last time he pitched in the big leagues was 2003 with the 119 loss Detroit Tigers.
But what should help the Angels sustain the loss of their top three pitchers, is a bullpen which is by far one of the best in all of baseball. Despite the loss of K-Rod, there is little doubt that former Colorado closer Brian Fuentes will be able to be nearly as productive. If you can pitch at Coors Field, you can pitch anywhere.
But in case Fuentes isn't as good as advertised, the Angels have plenty of other relievers, who can pick up the slack. Outside of Fuentes, this is essentially the same Angels' bullpen crew as the one from last season with Scot Shields, Jose Arredondo, Darren Oliver, and Justin Speier all returning. The bullpen has been the key to the Angels success these past few years, and I doubt this year will be any different. Only Speier had a subpar performance a year ago, and it was his first bad season since 1999, so there is little questioning the 'pen's ability.
Forecast: Last year, conventional wisdom said Seattle would seriously challenge the Halos. This year it says Oakland is going to threaten the Angels. Nonsense I say. While the Angels aren't perfect by any stretch, they are hands down the best team in the A.L. West. Oakland doesn't have pitching, Texas doesn't have pitching, and Seattle doesn't have much of anything. When healthy, the Angels have both bases pretty much covered. I'd be quick to peg the Halos as the World Series favorites if they had signed another bat this offseason. While Bobby Abreu isn't a big bat in the calibar of a Mark Teixeira or Manny Ramirez, he did post 100 RBIs and score 100 runs last season. If the young guys, Kendrick, Aybar, and Morales, can rake as they did this spring, than the Angels should be just fine offensively. If they can get their pitching staff off the DL, than the Angels could potentially have the top rotation in the league. Losing K-Rod will not be as the naysayers think, and their bullpen, including the up-and-coming Jose Arredondo, will enable the Halos to sustain the loss of three quality arms. Once the pitching staff is in order and with an easier 2009 schedule, I see no reason as to why the Angels shouldn't be able to win more than 90 games.
Prediction: 93-69, 1st AL West

WASHINGTON, D.C. –Today Congresswoman Lois Capps (D-CA) and Congressman Mike Rogers (R-MI) introduced the National Pain Care Policy Act of 2007, legislation to improve pain care research, education, training, access, outreach and care.
"I am pleased to join my colleague Congressman Rogers and over one hundred organizations representing the pain care community in supporting this legislation that will help millions of Americans suffering from pain," said Capps. "Pain is the leading cause of disability in the United States and is straining our health care system. Fortunately we don't have to remain debilitated by pain. This legislation takes several important steps to improve the assessment, understanding, and treatment of pain. Hopefully this will provide much needed relief for many people suffering from pain."
"Pain keeps sufferers from their family, work and the community, and in many cases it is so severe it can be life threatening," Rogers said. "Pain is linked to such diseases as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, HIV-AIDS, and hundreds of other illnesses. Back pain alone affects more than 70 percent of all Americans at some time in their lives, with the cost for medical services topping $26 billion annually. The need for education, access and research regarding chronic pain care has long been at the crisis stage and we need to move forward with finding solutions."
The National Pain Care Policy Act of 2007 would combat pain in four ways: by authorizing an Institute of Medicine Conference on Pain Care; authorizing a Pain Consortium at the National Institutes of Health; providing comprehensive pain care education and training for health care professionals; and by instituting a public awareness campaign on pain management.
Over one hundred leading organizations representing the pain care community have joined Congresswoman Capps and Congressman Rogers in support of this legislation, including the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network and the American Pain Foundation and a coalition of leading professional organizations in the pain field.
"For many cancer patients, fear of cancer pain is worse than fear of death itself," said Daniel E. Smith, president of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN). "The good news is that nearly all cancer pain can be relieved if treated adequately. This legislation will address significant pain management barriers such as, lack of physician training, patient awareness and treatment disparities based on gender, age and race."
"At the American Pain Foundation, we believe that access to appropriate, timely and unbiased pain care is a fundamental right. For a number of reasons, these rights are sadly unrealized for millions of Americans in pain," said Will Rowe, executive director of the American Pain Foundation. "By increasing research, education and awareness of pain issues, the National Pain Care Policy Act takes important steps toward making these rights a reality."
Congresswoman Capps, a registered nurse, serves on the Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Health.
Congressman Rogers serves on the Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Health.

Wafer Paper Problem
Decorating By motherofgrace Updated 8 May 2013 , 4:15pm by sweetflowers
Hi all!
I bought soe wafer paper without backing, and whenever I try to print it just feed through and thats it. Help?
Wafer paper doesn't have backing. Were you intending to buy frosting sheets? What are you trying to feed it into? I've used wafer paper in my edible printer without a problem, but your note is a little vague on what you are trying to do.
I actually figured it out, I had to change the paper size. No I bought it on purpose to make edible butterflies. Thanks tho lol
That's what I've used it for too. Glad it's worked out. Printers are finicky aren't they?

The Kolkata outfit will hope to build on their win last weekend and get three points against another north eastern outfit...
Mohammedan Sporting welcomes yet another side from the north east in less than five days time as they face the Shillong Lajong challenge on Wednesday at the Salt Lake Stadium.
The Black and Whites came back to register three points against Rangdajied United and will look to capitalize on the victory.
"Now our condition is like a patient put on ventilation when there is a sudden hope," said coach Sanjoy Sen.
"It was good to get back to winning ways but the danger of relegation still remains so we can't relax and must focus on getting three points," he added.
Taro Hasegawa impressed and the Kolkata side will hope that they can capitalize on the home conditions.
With just 21 goals scored in 22 matches, their problems upfront are well documented with no real support for Josimar Da Silva. Penn Orji too has been in poor form which hasn't worked for the outfit who have performed considerably well in cup competitions.
On the other hand, Shillong Lajong are placed seventh on the table with 29 points from 21 outings. They are eyeing a top five finish and need to get a positive result in order to stay in contention for the same.
"The loss to Mumbai FC should be a motivating factor for the players to play well and get a good result against Mohammedan Sporting. We need to play as a Team in order to get a positive result," said coach Thangboi Singto.
This is probably for the first time the north east side aren't involved in a relegation dogfight and credit must certainly be given to Singto for the same.

The One that Started it All
The Solo Blast was the very first concept ever to provide a completely controlled spike to Amazon's algorithm. It was so effective that it revolutionized the Amazon promotional strategy space.
With the evolution of the algorithm, new promotion strategies, timed algorithm spikes and other methods have been born, but the Solo still has its place.
A Solo Blast essentially "awakens" the algorithm to your listing's existence, which is a crucial first step in the launching of a new product or the re-launching of one needing revival. In some less competitive categories, a single Solo will also have all the effect you need to rank for important keywords.
Solo Blasts Here to Stay
They are an integral piece to the promotional puzzle. They offer the perfect option for one off, initial spikes. They are also great for adding more control to the spacing of your promotions.
The Solo Blast Strategy
One of the most effective ways we've found to launch new products, or revive old ones, is to start with a Solo Blast using a fairly significant amount of units. After a few days, this will give you a clear idea of what it will take to push your product further in rankings, and also provides the initial foundation upon which other promotional strategies can be built.
A Shock to Stimulate the Algorithm
A Solo Blast provides a single, mass unit promotion that will sufficiently spike Amazon's algorithm and force it to place your listing within reasonable grasp in rankings for important keywords. This creates the foundation from which your future promotions will be built.
Do one-day Solo Blasts still work?
Despite the rumors and fear-mongering, Solo Blasts continue to work. Check out just a few of our clients' results with Solo Blasts below…
Multi-day promotion, long-term results
Inspired By Natural Sales Trends
Solo Blasts became the instant gold standard in product and brand launches on Amazon. Fast promotion, fast results.
But after a Solo Blast, what do brand owners need to do to continue to feed the Amazon algorithm? What can assist them on their final pushes from page 3 to page 2, page 2 to page 1, and to the top 5 or top 3?
The obvious answer is periodic Solo Blasts. But sometimes a more natural approach is best.
Some brand owners want a multi-day sustained wave of sales…
And a Wave is what they got.
Enter Wave: the perfect supplement to a Solo Blast.
The Strategy
With a Wave, we'll run your promotion over your choice of 4 (Wave4) or 7 (Wave7) days in such a way that it feeds the Amazon algorithm precisely what it's looking for – sustained sales.
Conversion rate will be consistently above the norm, which is necessary to ensure substantial movement.
Ride the Wave for 4 or 7 Days
Wave4 will allow you to experience sustained sales over a period of 4 consecutive days. Wave4's are recommended as an immediate followup to an initial Solo Blast on a new product. Wave4 is also recommended for low and mid competition products which are established in their space.
Wave7 will sustain that promotion over a period of 7 consecutive days and is recommended both as a followup to an initial Solo Blast as well as ongoing efforts to increase rank to a desirable position. Great in high competition spaces; dominating in low and mid competition spaces.
Even the most powerful launch strategy can evolve
Our Most Advanced Promotional Strategy Yet
Do you know why there aren't real "Amazon Experts"? Because the rules change so often that it's an ever-evolving game requiring constant study, mountains of data, and incessant testing to keep up. Here at ZonBlast, we make it our business to keep up.
In fact, we eat, sleep, and breathe Amazon and product launches.
ZonBlast was one of the first services of its kind to figure out that sending a large amount of sales allowed for quick ranking. Following that to its logical conclusion, Waves allowed people to rank faster and better. If we keep on this logical progression, then we understand a couple of key things:
- Amazon loves consistent sales in short succession (ie: high sales velocity)
- The more sales you get, the more Amazon "love" you'll get. You'll rank more favorably, provided the internal elements of your listing are in order (see our Build line of services)
But this can get costly, both in terms of marketing dollars and inventory.
Well, the statistic studying egg heads at ZonBlast have put together yet another formula for producing massive results. This one even more powerful than anything we've seen before.
Introducing Pulse
The goal here was to think of a way to juice rank improvements with minimal inventory loss over maximum time. Understanding that keyword rank improvements often have a lag time of about 2 to 5 days, we thought to experiment with blasting every other day. While we were confident it would produce great results, we had no idea it would be THIS good.
Over the course of 15 days you can make serious movement in your niche.
But how? Why does this work so well?
Have you ever been on a trampoline with another person? Remember being a kid, jumping up and down oh so happily with your friend, laughing as your hair seemed to stop standing on end for a split second at the top of every jump? Then what did you do? You two little geniuses figured out that if one jumped at the exact moment that the other landed you'd catapult into the air. That rhythm….that's kind of what Pulse is like.
By sending periodic sales, we've managed to create a rank catapult like no other. And now we're here to offer you this amazing tool. Rocket your product to success like a heat seeking missile using carefully planned, spaced promotions with Pulse.
With 8 total days of promotion, spaced over 15 actual days, you'll see results like you've never dreamed. There is simply no better way to spend half a month in your marketing plan.
Maximum Results, Minimal Inventory Requirements
Because Pulse operates on an every other day basis, we're able to "juice" the Amazon algorithm over an extended period without having to move units during a promo every single day. With an every other day Pulse, decreased units are required on a daily basis in order to produce meaningful effect with ranking.

Purple Slippers (or The Tale of Purple Slippers) is a fan fiction created by Kino Lala on Fanfiction.net.
Every cartoon gets their moment to shine, but one had been living in the Tooniverse for nine years and never got her chance.
But who was this toon? What was she like? And most importantly, was she a toon?
- Alexia/Purple Slippers: The protagionist of the story. Shortly after losing her mother, Alexia ran away to avoid being put in a children's home. From the age of five to eight, Alexia roamed the country alone, stirring up trouble wherever she went. While in Chicago, Alexia became the owner of a pair of purple ballet slippers found at a rummage sale.
Alexia hails from Dickinson, North Dakota. She has blond hair and deep brown eyes. She was born in 1970.
- Clara F. Jameson: Alexia's mother. Clara had worked at a diner called "Bee-Bee's," where she was shot and killed while protecting her friend Phyllis Norman from her ex-boyfriend Herman Valenti. She was born on March 13, 1945 and died June 17, 1975, at the age of thirty.
Clara doesn't appear to have any other relatives asides from her daughter. Clara has blond hair and navy blue eyes.
- Mrs. Rowe: A neighbor and friend of Clara's; babysitter to Alexia. She is middle-aged and doesn't often let Alexia watch television all day. Her only known relatives are her husband, Mr. Rowe, and a niece.
- Wagner: Not much is known about this man. According to Clara, this was the last name of Alexia's real father. From what we know about him, Wagner was already married when he met Clara, so it is highly assumed that Alexia was born out of wedlock. Wagner is also a well-known businessman.
- Alonzo: A street kid from Chicago. He is the leader of the group Alexia joins during her time in said-city, called "The Raccoons." Alonzo is of Italian descent.
- Freddy and Jimmy: Twin boys of Asian descent. They are part of Alonzo's group of street children.
- Lily: Another street kid who lives in Chicago. Lily is part of Alonzo's group. She is the first to befriend Alexia.
- Bobby, Ruth, Ed, and Sam: These children make up another street kid group, this one called "The Beavers." They are the rivals of Alonzo and his group. Bobby is the leader, with his sister Ruth as second-in-command.
- Tina and Cindy: Identical twin girls who work at a shoe table at a rummage sale held in the parking lot of the St. John Canticus Church. They were the ones who gave Alexia the purple pair of ballet slippers she wears.
The year Alexia gets sucked into the Tooniverse is in 1979, and she comes out nine years later, in 1988. So cartoons that were made after '88 will not appear. That includes characters from The Simpsons, Rugrats, Family Guy, and Hey Arnold!.

Since we have never been to Jamaica what is the preferred way to pay? Is US dollars acceptable everywhere, shall we get Traveler's checks and what about using credit cards?
We just take US funds with us and you'll need a credit card or cash deposit for the hotel's incidentals.
"Is US dollars acceptable everywhere"
At most places in the tourist trade, yes. Out in the country they may or may not take US Dollars.
"shall we get Traveler's checks"
They can be cashed at banks and your hotel.
"what about using credit cards?"
Fine at your hotel, otherwise I would not use it.
As you are going to an all inclusive resort you may not be spending any money. At your hotel you can pay for all of what charges there are as you leave by using a credit card.
grand_illusion...we travel with our cc's (we take 2, just in case one is compromised) and US cash. It's been a number of years since we've actually brought and used travellers checks (cashed at the resort). We calculate our requirements as much as possible in advance and bring more than enough cash to cover any tips, purchases, food and drink outside the resort and drivers.
You won't need much cash unless you are off property a lot. We have always used U.S. cash and they take it most places we go, even the Pelican Bar! Otherwise, we always use our CC's on all our travels. A CC is safe and protected. If you lose a hundred dollars cash, you will never see it again.
We just returned from SWH yesterday and are looking forward to heading back! We used U.S. cash exclusively for any purchases off the resort (airport, tips, private taxi transfer, excursion stops) and any outside vendors on property (local jewelry and wood carvers). Any tours or resort extras (Island Routes, Redline Spa, Sandals shops, flowers, beachside dining, premium wines) can be charged to your room and settled at the end of the trip by credit card.
Sandals will also provide a cash advance on your credit card for a fee (I believe 10%) as another guest had used this service. If you plan on using a credit card, call the bank before you leave to indicate your dates of foreign travel. If you do not feel comfortable carrying large amounts of cash while traveling, your traveler's checks can be cashed at the front desk as well.

When the 1970s kicked off, there were still working-class players in the National Football League who sold cars in the off-season and hitchhiked to games. They smoked cigarettes at halftime and kept playing even when parts of their bodies were broken, such as their heads. But the league changed during that decade. It became a hugely complex cultural phenomenon. By the end of the '70s, individual players were making more money than entire teams made a decade before.
In his book "The Last Headbangers," Kevin Cook doesn't so much debate the merits of what happened to the NFL during the '70s as chronicle the change and search for its roots. As the book's subtitle says, this was "The Era That Created Modern Sports." And really, it's the perfect conceit for a book. Cook can spin out yarn after yarn of over-muscled guys doing under-brained things (think hot tubs, controlled substances and shocking violence) while aiming to tell a bigger narrative about sports and society. He can tut-tut and titillate at the same time.
Cook's primary vehicle is the '70s-spanning rivalry of the Oakland Raiders and the Pittsburgh Steelers, featuring arguably the greatest collection of weirdos, maniacs, misfits, heroes and villains ever gathered under any dome other than the U.S. Capitol (sorry, cheap shot).
On one side, you had Raiders owner Al Davis, who hated NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle with charmingly naked intensity. Davis had wanted the commissioner's job and worked to undermine the slick, Up With People image Rozelle was crafting for the league. He fought Rozelle's policies in court, voted against giving him raises and encouraged a truly nasty style of play. Raiders linebacker Jack "the Assassin" Tatum paralyzed Patriots receiver Darryl Stingley with a hit and wouldn't apologize; long-haired quarterback Ken Stabler ran continuous parties out of his motel room while on the road; linebacker Ted Hendricks showed up at his first practice on horseback; defensive lineman John Matuszak "may have led the league in substance abuse."
They were the perfect foils for the Pittsburgh Steelers, whose owner, Art Rooney, was one of the league's founding statesmen. His fullback, Rocky Bleier, was a thick-chested Vietnam vet who had a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. Quarterback Terry Bradshaw was a self-doubting country bumpkin who liked to sing. And running back Franco Harris and receiver Lynn Swann were almost balletic in their grace and athleticism. The whole team would gather at Harris's house on Tuesday nights for poker, fried chicken and Iron City Beer.
As Cook quotes writer Roy Blount Jr., the Steelers-Raiders rivalry was "good versus evil," and its retelling is total brain candy for football fans — certainly for those old enough to remember the old Schlitz Malt Liquor and Colt 45 commercials. "Bradshaw vomited before his first pro game," Cook writes. He describes one play where the Steelers' rookie quarterback tried to throw to receiver Ron Shanklin, "whose puffy Afro barely fit under his helmet, [and who] liked to growl while running patterns to psych out defenders." Bradshaw muffed the throw, and Shanklin got drilled. After throwing nine more incompletions and an interception, Bradshaw dropped back to pass from his own end zone but "stepped on the end line for a safety. He had scored the first two points of his NFL career — for the other team. [Coach Chuck] Noll yanked him. . . . After the game Bradshaw sat in his truck in the players' parking lot, weeping."
Then there's Stabler, continuing to run the offense and throw passes even after concussions left him semiconscious. "Those were called zombie plays," Cook writes. Or Raider center Jim Otto, who had knee surgery and snuck out of the hospital and back to practice with a leg that had turned black. After his career, Cook writes, he endured "so many follow-up knee operations that the nerves around his right knee died. You could light a match to that leg and Otto couldn't feel it." It was later amputated.
But the problem with Cook's book is that the Steelers-Raiders rivalry doesn't really explain how football became the modern product that today brings in billions upon billions in revenue. The creation of that money machine during the 1970s was more of a backroom affair, with Rozelle negotiating ever-higher TV broadcast deals and the networks cooking up more and more elaborate presentations. As for the game itself — the modern version, as Cook notes in the latter part of the book, actually developed in the early 1980s with the rise of the San Francisco 49ers and the complicated, air-oriented West Coast offense. And it didn't change overnight. Lest we forget, there were dominant teams during the '80s that featured some pretty old-school attacks, such as the Bears and the John Riggins-era Redskins, which get barely a mention in "The Last Headbangers."
Cook does devote some attention to the rise of the Dallas Cowboys as (gag) America's Team and that organization's cool corporate efficiency. That's probably more to the point of how the NFL changed in the '70s, but it's not as much fun to read about. No, for fun you want Steelers vs. Raiders. Just suspend your moral judgment.

FE fees hike is vital to boost sector power, says skills chief
Further education needs an overhaul of funding as radical as the introduction of university tuition fees, the chief executive of the UK Commission for Employment and Skills has claimed.
Chris Humphries said UK colleges lag far behind their international counterparts in amount of revenue collected in fees and they should focus on improving this rather than protesting at the Government's cut in funding rates.
As Lord Mandelson announced a review of the fees policy for FE, Mr Humphries said boosting fee income could profoundly change the way colleges were regarded and give them the kind of political influence that universities enjoy.
Colleges should focus on increasing that income, rather than protesting about budget savings of pound;340 million in their funding next year, he said.
"My chairman always says any organisation can absorb a 10 per cent cut and still maintain services at the same level," he said.
Mr Humphries said the public sector could never afford the full cost of lifelong learning in any case. It had once been calculated at 11 per cent of gross domestic product, implying public spending on education would have to double to meet the needs.
"There isn't a country in the world that can afford the cost of lifelong learning," he said. "But we have a system that fundamentally undermines company investment.
"I believe employers and trade unions would sign up to a fees policy. I believe they understand why it's necessary. If you had that in place, that pound;340 million cut could become a pound;350 million increase. We are doing it in higher education."
In Canada, Australia and the US, the equivalents of UK colleges boast income from employers that is between 20 and 40 per cent of their turnover, Mr Humphries said. In the UK, he estimated it was more like 2 or 3 per cent.
One of the criteria of the commission's proposed traffic-light system of college ratings for consumers would be the amount of private sector investment they attract.
The fees review, under Learning and Skills Council (LSC) chairman Chris Banks, is likely to consider how business can be encouraged to invest more of its training money in colleges.
Lord Mandelson told the Association of Colleges (AoC) conference last week: "We expect businesses to invest, and keep investing, in skills. And often the most effective way of doing this is going to be to build strong collaborative ties with colleges. And because they are the key beneficiaries of these new skilled people, we are going to expect business to bear more of the cost."
Colleges said that the expansion of free courses had worked against their efforts to charge fees in more instances. Mr Humphries gave one example where an institution had lined up a contract to train thousands of workers at one company, only to see the deal fall through when another offered to carry out the same training for free, using government subsidies.
Julian Gravatt, assistant chief executive at the AoC, said: "Government policy since 2003 has been that colleges should raise more income from fees and colleges have taken this seriously. But sometimes it has proved difficult to persuade employers to pay for training when the Government has increased the number of free courses."
Ian Pryce, principal of Bedford College, agreed that generating more income commercially was the key to colleges wielding more political power.
"I agree that we need to increase our fee income, because the less we are dependent on government funding, the more pressure we can bring to bear in our dealings with them," he said.
His college has worked hard to raise its fee income from individual adult learners and found they were surprisingly willing to cough up.
For instance, the college ran 30-week GCSE language courses for adults with a pound;100 fee contribution that suffered a high drop-out rate. When it converted them to six-week courses for the same price, but with no government subsidy, their popularity rose. Students were happy to pay the same for less and, in fact, preferred the lower commitment of a short course with a curriculum tailored to them, not the Government.
The result is that the total fee income for the college this year is expected to reach pound;6 million, possibly even eclipsing the amount received from Government for adult education aimed at individuals.
"We don't get a lot of people saying, `This college down the road is only charging X amount'," Mr Pryce said. "If anything, the resistance is internal, from teacher-managers who are keen to keep up the numbers in their courses."
But he questioned whether expecting colleges to raise their fee income to 20 per cent or more of their total turnover was realistic, because of the dominant role of 16-19 education in FE.
About 60 per cent of teenagers who stay in education are in college, representing about pound;4 billion of funding. But colleges are prevented by law from charging for these places.
That means at least half of the entire funding of FE is insulated from any attempts at raising fee income. Hitting a fee income target even of 20 per cent of turnover would mean a much higher percentage of post-19 education and training needed to be paid for.
The LSC already assumes that half of the cost of provision chosen by individual adults rather than employers - its adult learner responsive budget - is paid for in fees and discounts its funding accordingly.
But research for the LSC earlier this year suggested no one knows how much is really being generated by work with employers. It said there was little evidence that colleges systematically sought fees from business, however, and if this situation continues there is a significant risk that the total funding will fall and quality will suffer.
Many of the employer contributions are in providing premises or equipment rather than cash, the research suggested. College staff told the researchers that they supported greater charging of fees to employers, suggesting that business only values what it has to pay for. One said: "If you pay nothing, you expect nothing. If you pay, there is more commitment."

This is a complicated review because there is so much positive about this imaginative, creative, and beautiful lodge. (We stayed in the Beach Suite which was not exactly on the beach but a short walk through the forest/gardes away.) I truly understand why others gave this eco-resort a 4 or 5 rating. My rating of 3 does not tell the full story as the Treehouse lodge is a mixed bag; the positives are REALLY positive, but the negatives.....are tough. So, by all means go there; it is a special place in many ways, but I do believe that being forewarned about some of the drawbacks or challenges might make one's stay more enjoyable. So here goes:
1. Amazing paradisaical gardens.
2. Whimsical architecture is a WOW!. We had a Gaudi-inspired bathroom!
3. The beach out front is beautiful
4. Nice restaurants in walking distance
5. Enjoyed our horseback riding beach trip with Bruce from nearby Chiquita Beach Stables
6. The staff tries very hard to resolve any problems (of which there are a few....see below).
1. It rains....a lot. and when it does EVERYTHING gets wet/damp/mildewy inside and out. We were there in the alleged "dry" season, so I am not sure what it would be like in the "rainy" season. This fact made all of the problems below much more intense.
2. Neither of the "jacuzzis at our property worked properly. The inside one not at all and the outside one just never got to the right temperature. Again, no big deal if we weren't soaked through and through and dying for some warmth and relief.
3. To make matters worse, there was no hot water in the shower.
4. Fire ants in the outdoor hammocks made them unusable leaving us no place to sit when it rained, which it did....a lot....as I've mentioned.
5. The beach is beautiful....but unswimmable due to the proximity of the reef. You can get in thewater a bit by walking to the north a ways, but in order to actually "swim" you have to walk 500 meters to the south to the official Punta Uva "beach" (which has the benefit of a fresh water stream running into it (very refreshing when it is hot....not so refreshing when it is raining.)
6. It is Costa Rica, and sometimes things just don't happen when they are supposed to. Just ask for everything a half hour before you need it.
7. The staff told us we could call anytime if there was a problem, but the rain knocked out the phone system, so we were somewhat stranded.
8. The lighting was intense in our bathroom but non-existent in the living room, making it difficult to read or play games when it rained, since we could not sit on the hammocks.
8. The high price (which would have been reasonable if not for 1-7 above.
So that is the whole, complicated, story. I really hate to pan a place that has so many positives and which is really a very bold attempt to bring eco-tourism to a new level, but I know I would have appreciated a heads up about some of the issues, so go to the tree house lodge, by all means, but do so with your eyes wide open. And if you are lucky enough to get sunny skies probably none of the drawbacks listed above will even matter!!!!

Credit Suisse Tactics Revealed
Documents Show Firm Demanded Fees For AnalysisOct 7, 2002 | The Boston Globe
Executives of Wall Street's Credit Suisse First Boston promised to provide high-tech companies positive stock ratings even in the event of bad news and withheld stock analysis from at least one company until it paid certain investment banking fees, according to documents from the Massachusetts Securities Division obtained by the Globe.
A Credit Suisse proposal for new clients, dated July 1999, near the top of the Internet bubble, said the company ''stands by its clients.'' The document indicated with stock charts and data points that it would offer better stock ratings than rival bankers, including Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter.
Separately, in a series of e-mails sent in March 2001, Credit Suisse employees discussed the resumption of analyst coverage for Research in Motion, a Canadian company that makes the BlackBerry, a wireless e-mail device. In one e-mail, employee Chris Legg informs the firm's tech research department and technology investment banking chief, Frank Quattrone, that RIM had paid $1.8 million, as requested. As a result, he suggests that ''we return them to `most favored nation' status.''
The e-mail goes on to say: ''I have represented to RIM that you will be resuming full coverage.''
Massachusetts Secretary of State William F. Galvin called the documents ''a smoking gun'' that shows clients of embattled Credit Suisse had to buy investment banking services in order to receive stock coverage - and that fees were rewarded with misleadingly positive coverage.
''These documents have the firm boasting that they would not give bad ratings, even if others did,'' Galvin said. ''In addition, they withheld analysis for a period of time. When they were suddenly able to get more business, they resumed coverage.''
Credit Suisse officials could not be reached last night. The company recently has declined to comment on specific e-mail correspondence but has said that it is cooperating with the Massachusetts investigation.
The e-mails appear to be the latest damning evidence in the ongoing investigation by Massachusetts officials, New York Attorney General Elliot Spitzer, and the Securities and Exchange Commission into the previously common Wall Street practice of offering stock coverage in exchange for investment banking business. During the stock boom of the late 1990s, in particular, when firms were vying to take hot tech companies public, there was heated competition for such business.
In the Credit Suisse e-mails, not only was RIM to be rewarded with stock coverage for paying investment banking fees, but the company's executives were to receive other perks as well. One e-mail urges Quattrone, the investment banker, and research executives to get RIM's senior executives on the list to attend the British Open or a golf tournament at Pebble Beach in California.
''We intend to continue to purse this,'' Galvin said. ''This is part of our ongoing investigation.''
Merrill Lynch & Co. in May made a $100 million settlement with Spitzer to end an investigation of its positive recommendations on tech stocks that analysts privately acknowledged were overpriced. Citigroup has been working to settle its own conflict-of-interest problems, following charges by regulators, and could set a new standard by separating its stock research unit from its investment banking group.

Imperial Hotel Eumundi renovates with Whittle Waxes
The Imperial Hotel Eumundi opens its freshly renovated Green Room. The owners Michael and Caroline Arnett and their partners aimed to maintain the legacy of the hotel and to keep the Imperial theme. The restoration of this heritage hotel began in May 2013 and is now is open to the public and in full swing.
The restoration of the timber floor was done by Giles Whittle Herbert, co-director of Whittle Waxes. Keeping with the imperial theme, Giles and Caroline worked together to recreate the ambiance of the Green Room. Caroline chose the emblem Fleur-de-lis, to be a pattern though out the surface of the timber floor. Over the centuries the Fleur-de-lis has appeared on countless European coats of arms and flags, and is associated with the French monarchy in a historical context, thus making it a perfect choice for this majestic hotel.
After the timber floor had been properly sanded, cleaned and dusted, an antique oak stain from Treatex was applied. Recreating the identical Fleur-de-lis pattern throughout the room, Giles cut out the Fleur-de-lis stencil on a sheet of tin, and with a blow torch carefully scorched the surface. The floor was then protected with Whittle Waxes Hardwax oil.
Whittle Waxes have a range of oils and Hardwax coatings that are ideal for commercial applications, as they have dedicated maintenance regimes and many are replenished simply by buffering a maintenance coat on to the floor.
This can potentially mean that the floor will never need aggressive sanding again, which is an attribute particularly important in Heritage buildings and areas of high foot traffic that may be open 364 days a year.
Whittle Waxes is among the first Australian companies dedicated to promoting premium natural oils and waxes for the protection and enhancement of all timber surfaces. We are committed to providing the best timber care and protection.Learn more

ISLAMABAD – Since mid-December, Pakistan has experienced political and economic volatility that is extraordinary even by Pakistani standards. The fragile political structure that began to be erected following the resumption of civilian government in 2008 is now shaking.
A key source of this unrest is Tahirul Qadri, a Toronto-based Muslim cleric who arrived in Lahore in early December. Ten days later, he addressed a mammoth public meeting at the city's Minar-e-Pakistan grounds, where, a year earlier, the cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan had launched what he not very appropriately termed a political tsunami.
Qadri issued a 20-day ultimatum to the government in Islamabad to purge the political system of rampant corruption, reconstitute the Election Commission, and appoint a caretaker administration to oversee the upcoming vote. The caretakers, he said, should include technocrats, retired military officers, and judges – and could remain in office longer than the constitutionally permitted 90 days. Unless the government took these steps, he would lead a million-man march on the capital.
When the government did not oblige, 50,000 people set out on the fabled Grand Trunk Road to Islamabad, taking 36 hours to complete the 300-kilometer trek. Qadri addressed the marchers repeatedly; liberally mixing political metaphors, he called himself a latter-day Mao Zedong on a journey to launch a system-cleansing jihad and initiate a Pakistani version of the Arab Spring.

Meet the 2016/2017 OURCA Ambassadors!
Shannon Corenthin
Year: Senior
Major: BFA Theatre Performance Major, Integrated Educational Studies minor
Mentor: Dr. Jocelyn L. Buckner
Research Project/Creative Activity: Forgotten Story of African American Women Playwrights
1-Explain your research/creative activity: I study the plays and production histories of Black women in American theatre, the impact they have had on society during the last century, and the influence they continue to have on today's theatre.
2-What advice would you give a student considering getting involved in research or creative activity? My advice is for any students who is unsure whether or not they would like to do research: do it. Even if you don't end up liking it, you'll learn so much about your topic and the importance of it. and you never know, you might find your calling in research.
Lena Romano
Year: Senior
Major: Theatre and Sociology double major/COPA and Wilkinson
Mentor: Dr. Jocelyn L. Buckner/COPA
Research Project/Creative Activity: The Influence of Social Class on Women in Theatre
1-Explain your research/creative activity: My research for the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship I investigated the role that class plays in the representation of women in theatre, both in terms of how women are portrayed on stage, and the demographics of the workforce in the industry. The research this summer will be continued this Fall where I will direct the play Trifles, by Susan Glaspell. This play will be a part of a feminist theatre festival that deals with issues of class, race and sexuality.
2-What advice would you give a student considering getting involved in research or creative activity? Pick a topic that you are really interested in researching and that you can see yourself researching for a long time, because it can be hard to self-motivate, but if you love the topic and are invested in your findings, it will be easier to keep up with the work.
Natalie Tom

Major: Chemistry Major, Nutrition Minor, and Food Science Masters (4+1 Program)
Mentor: Dr. Lilian Were, Food Science Department
Research Project/Creative Activity: Agaricus Bisporus mushrooms act as an antioxidant in raw beef patties.
1-Explain your research/creative activity: Billion pounds of beef is wasted per year and chemical deterioration, specifically lipid oxidation, contributes to this waste. White-button mushrooms called Agaricus Bisporus, are introduced into raw beef and have the antioxidant capacity to inhibit lipid oxidation from occurring and overall extend the shelf life of beef.
2-What advice would you give a student considering getting involved in research or creative activity? Make sure to pick a research topic that YOU are interested in and ALWAYS have fun!
Nicole Hornaday
Year: Graduated May 2016
Major: Biological Sciences/University Honors Program
Research Project/Creative Activity: Best Practices for Mentor/Mentee Communication
1-Explain your research/creative activity: One of the most critical aspects of any successful research project is the effective communication between the mentor and mentee. The goal of my project is to investigate best practices for mentorship, especially with application to the SURF program so that future students and mentors will be able to accomplish shared as well as distinct goals in a ten week timeframe.
2-What advice would you give a student considering getting involved in research or creative activity? Pursue a project that you are truly interested in, although this can be difficult in fields such as the sciences, which put a certain amount of pressure on students to make sure that research is a part of their undergraduate education. Additionally, you should work with a mentor who you know that you will work well with and learn from, and with whom there is mutual respect.
Benji Whitmore
Year: Junior
Major: Pre-Pharmacy/Schmid + CUSP
Mentor: Dr. Miao Zhang, CUSP
Research Project/Creative Activity:Structural study for Ca2+ hypersensitivity of mutant SK ion channel
1-Explain your research/creative activity: My research is in the field of ion channel pharmacology and specifically uses X-ray crystallography techniques as the basis for structural study of SK ion channels.
2-What advice would you give a student considering getting involved in research or creative activity? Advice to students would be to just reach out to as many professors/program advisors as you can. There are so many research opportunities/mentors out there and if you only reach out to one or two you limit your options. Also be sure you are interested in their research focus...when you meet with them it's as much of an interview for them as it is you!
Jessica Bocinski
Year: Junior
Major: Art History and Anthropology
Mentor: Dr. Wendy Salmond, Department of Art
Research Project/Creative Activity: Art history research project entitled "The Invisible Artist: Reframing William Holman Hunt's Works through 15th c. Netherlandish Art"
1-Explain your research/creative activity: During SURF, I conducted an art history research project that explored the connections between a Pre-Raphaelite artist named William Holman Hunt and 15thc. Netherlandish painting. This comparison fosters a different understanding of the purpose of Hunt's works and the common misconceptions associated with his stylistic choices.
2-What advice would you give a student considering getting involved in research or creative activity? If you are passionate about a subject or are interested in research, you should absolutely get involved in one of the research and creative activity opportunities that OURCA has to offer. Undergraduate research and creative activity is a great way to make professional and personal connections with professors, gain invaluable experience that can translate into future graduate school or career opportunities, and learn more about your own interests. The research and creative activities on campus are also great ways to meet new people from different disciplines.

Mumbai: As many as 473 complaints were registered with the Maharashtra government's public grievance system portal, 'Aapke Sarkar' (your government), from six districts in a month's time.
Second phase of the portal was launched on August 15 this year for people living in Thane, Pune, Nashik, Aurangabad, Amravati and Nagpur districts. In the first phase, launched in January, the portal had started receiving complaints at the Mantralaya (secretariat) level.
Principal secretary (IT) V K Gautam told PTI today that 189 of these complaints from six districts were resolved. As many as 136 complaints concerned the revenue department, 79 the home department, 203 complaints were related to the municipal corporations and 55 had to do with zilla parishads.
The response was greater in urban areas than in a predominantly rural district such as Amravati. "Revenue related issues were more in Pune with 53 complaints, which also had 39 complaints regarding the home department, while there were 134 complaints about the municipal corporation-related issues in Thane," he said.

Frank's International confirmed Tuesday it has started laying off 150 of its employees in Acadiana, part of the company's global effort to trim its workforce by 400 to 600 workers.
At the company's Lafayette complex near the intersection of Verot School Road and U.S. 90, where many of the affected employees worked, off-duty Lafayette Parish sheriff's deputies on Tuesday provided security, a sheriff's captain said.
Frank's announced March 31 it would pare its employee numbers, a business decision that came after worldwide demand for its oil field tubular services and rentals fell.
"While workforce reductions are difficult, we are committed to making necessary changes to ensure that Frank's International remains strong and is well-positioned for the eventual recovery of commodity prices," company spokesman Josh Grodin said in an email.
Frank's joined other oil field services companies that have laid off employees, a reaction to slackened demand after the price of oil started collapsing last summer, falling from over $100 per barrel in June to the mid-$40s in January. Though the price for crude has since rebounded somewhat, activity for the service companies continues to be low.
On Tuesday the price for U.S.-produced West Texas Intermediate was about $57.
"Frank's International remains focused on both costs savings and opportunities, as well as process and operational improvements," Grodin said. He added that Frank's remains "steadfast in our commitment to safely provide our customers with the equipment and services required to allow them to access their most challenging oil and gas reserves."
The layoffs come in the wake of Frank's purchase of Timco Services Inc., a Lafayette-based competitor of Frank's.
According to Frank's International filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company agreed to pay $75 million in cash for Timco, with up to $20 million to be paid later in two installments. Frank's also was to provide the owner of Timco with $8 million for taxes related to the sale.
Frank's purchase of Timco has been finalized, Grodin said.
Grodin, however, said he could not accurately say now how many employees Frank's will have after the layoffs. He also did not say how many, if any, of those employees laid off came over in the Timco acquisition.
At Frank's main Lafayette complex, off-duty Lafayette Parish sheriff's deputies stood guard Tuesday, Capt. John Babin said. Babin said Frank's officials on Friday asked for added security at the Verot School Road facilities.
Grodin, the Houston-based spokesman, would not say if the request for added security was a response to a specific threat or a precautionary measure.
Frank's was started in 1938 by Frank Mosing. The company had a Mosing at the helm for its entire history until earlier this year, when former Chevron executive Gary Luquette was tapped to be president and chief executive.

AP is up on a local controller but is not appearing when queried from the controller via SNMP
The problem is that the controller is not sending information on APs whose mac address ends in FE or FF when being polled via SNMP. The AP works fine on the controller, but Airwave does not receive information on that AP from the controller when it polls it via SNMP.
The bug is in the controller code and has been fixed in later version of Aruba OS,
The AP will work just fine, it is just that Airwave does not receive information about the AP via SNMP when polling the controller. With that being said, there is nothing wrong with the AP or Airwave

What do you want in regards to the gear system.
I would like to see a logical gear system:
Armor should be about it's Defensive Properties so each class of armor would be ranked in it's defense against the various types of damage, slashing, blunt, piercing and magic.
Plate Armor, Chain-mail, Scale-mail, Leather Armor, Cloth Armor.
Plate Armor would have the highest Defense rating against all physical attacks but the lowest against magic.
All Armor would have a listed weight, the total weight of the armor would be checked against your characters STR/VIT/AGI to see whether you can wear it or not. Weight will effect attack speed, evasion and agility.
All armor would be able to receive 1 permanent Inscribed Enchantment. All armor comes to the owner's procession without Stat Boosts other than defense bonuses or HP/MP bonuses. Through quest, mission rewards; item drops and crafting you can acquire scrolls of enchantment that you can apply to a chosen piece of armor.
Armor will also have 1 socket. The socket can be fitted with Crystals or Gems. Crystals provide temporary stat boosts of varying percentages, after a time the power imbued within the crystal fades. Gems are permanent versions of crystals that may enhance 1-3 stats at a time. The owner can swap the socket items at any time without losing the socket item.
This system gets away from cookie cutter Gear setups for Jobs because people are able to customize everything to suit their play style. Take this with a system where a character's base stats are developed by their own actions as opposed to arbitrarily set per Job/Race and player's are in control of their own performance. Player's pick the gear they like the looks of and customize it for themselves, instead of full out gear swapping you'll socket swap.
Instead of a Tiger dropping a pair of pants instead monsters would drop Powerful Gems or scrolls of enchantment. I never understood why a tiger had a pair of pants on it.

Union members at Filton, the Airbus-owned factory near Bristol, will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow amid rising fears the plant is to be sold to a US supplier of aerospace components which could lead to significant job cuts.
Union sources said last night that Spirit Aerosystems had emerged as the surprise frontrunner to buy Filton. It is understood that Tom Enders, chief executive of Airbus, spoke to John Hutton, the secretary of state at the Department of Business and Enterprise, last week about the impending sale. Enders is believed to have told Hutton that although no final decision had yet been taken EADS, the parent company of Airbus, it was minded to favour Spirit over a rival bid from GKN.
Unions fear that Spirit, one of the pioneers in aircraft making which has done similar deals in the US with Boeing, taking over two plants, could outsource large amounts of work to America.
"Given the dollar-euro exchange rate, it almost becomes a business decision to leave the work in the US in the longer-term," said Bernie Hamilton, Amicus's lead officer for aerospace.
"Our major concern is that this could lead to the transfer of intellectual property to the US. We don't know any of the details of the Spirit bid," he added.
The Government has been at pains to present a balanced approach to the auction. Spirit is already an employer in the UK, its biggest UK operation being in at Prestwick, Scotland, where it bought the BAE Systems aero-structures business last year. However, the sale of Filton - which employs 4,500 people and manages the designs of the wings for the whole Airbus family of aircraft - to an American group in favour of a British company is bound to raise political concerns over the government's long-term support of the aerospace industry. Airbus claims to generate 140,000 jobs in the UK thanks to its wing work, directly and indirectly through supplier contracts.
Last night, sources close to the auction process cautioned that no final decision had been taken. They said that even under GKN's ownership there would be some rationalisation at the plant.
Airbus is seeking a number of "strategic investors" for several of its European plants as part of a cost-cutting plan first announced last year.
Last night Airbus said: "No decision on the choice of Risk Sharing Partner for future of operations at Filton site has been made. It is therefore premature to comment on the issues raised by the unions. Airbus will be looking for the best all-round solution for the company, the site and the workforce."

Based on 6 ratings.
This is a great sounding concert. The bass comes through loud and clear through my subwoofer, however, the picture quality isn't the best and it's in 4:3 format. Overall it's a great concert. The most important aspect, to me, is the sound. Would have given it 5 stars if the video was better.

But again, what do I do when I'm not ready for my wife to be "in" love with another, specially when she already is?
It's true we can't control our emotions, but we can look at the feelings that come up and try to understand what they're telling us. Most of the time, those hurt feelings and jealousy are based in fear. And most of the time that fear is based on things that may not actually be in the reality. It sounds like your wife falling in love has put you into a place where you're starting to feel the "worst case scenario". So perhaps it might be good to talk about what you fear is the worst case scenario. Are you afraid that by being in love, she may choose him over you? Or that she may have less love for you? That you will now be compared to him? That you may have to take a different place in her heart than the one you know and are used to?
Figure out exactly what your fears are then TALK about those fears specifically with her. Often, even just talking about the specific fears greatly lessens their hold on our lives.
A lot of poly couples I know make it a point to have a radically honest "what's the worst that could happen?" conversation before beginning new relationships. They always find it useful because almost always it shows that their worst case scenarios aren't nearly as bad as they imagine them to be.
