2012 Fantasy Baseball Catcher Rankings Posted
Ask and ye shall receive. Last night we completed, published, and released to the Twitterverse our first official 2012 ranking of fantasy baseball catchers. Check them out by clicking the link below.
Top 25 catcher rankings for 2012
To quickly summarize them…
- There's a new no. 1 in town for 2012 – Indians backstop Carlos Santana (deserved)
- Since V-Mart is going to be out for the year… he's not anywhere to be found (makes sense)
- Joe Mauer took a dive. After 3 seasons at no. 1 – we have him no. 8 heading into 2012.
- Jesus Montero of the Mariners is the new kid on the block – we have him at no. 9.
- In most mixed leagues where you only have 1 catcher, the only "sleepers" you should really have to worry come draft time are ranked nos. 13 to 17, and they are:
- Wilson Ramos
- J.P. Arencibia
- Kurt Suzuki
- Carlos Ruiz
- Chris Iannetta
- after these guys, we think it's safe to say you'll only get what you pay for.
More rankings to come… but we had to start somewhere. Figured it might as well be at the backstop.
Have you reviewed our catcher rankings? What's your take? Let us know in the comments below.

Saw it on Flickr, almost cried -- the same way i almost cried at the end of the Shaun Tan book. The driving nowhere -- but probably feeling heavy, and encumbered by one's own self.
I love this spread, Andrea, and that's only the emotional part of it! How many times have i hopped in my car and driven aimlessly, in the hopes of falling in love with something. I love those windows of green, the rolling hills... and the text coming in between like a voice over in a movie. Gorgeous, moving. And wow, Paul Weller to top it all off. :-)
- andrea joseph's sketchblog said...
France - you get it.
And thanks for that.
I needed to know somebody else does.
- Serena said...
I thoroughly enjoyed this spread too, Andrea! I have often felt like getting in my car and just driving into the great blue yonder with no set destination in mind. An exhilarating feeling! Now, that I've taken up sketching, I will no doubt make a few creative stops along the way next time. ;)
- PC4u said...
I love the vivid green colors...driving in such beauty is good for the soul. our minds need nature...need refresh. Your illustration here invokes that feeling. Thanks for sharing.
- r.e.wolf said...
Powerful stuff.
- Teri C said...
Isn't it amazing what a drive through the countryside will being into your consciousness. Great journal entry and love the little illos to go with it.
- Kathleen said...
Hmmmm, what were those thoughts that you think were a shame, your journal just seems to mention loving the gorgeous hills, the beautiful greens, the lovely crumbling stone walls, all these wonderful, graphically rich things. And you were looking for a good place to draw, and you produced such wonderful sketches, it's all a mystery to me. I think you thought noble thoughts of nature and art . . . and personal struggles are certainly part of art, so it's OK . . . YOU are OK, Andrea, too!! :-)
- Julie said...
My son and I love to drive. For us, the point is to head in a random direction and take some road we've never been on before. We're having to go farther and farther afield these days, having covered every single road in our county. Last week he asked me to set aside Sunday for a drive. He was in a forest mood, so we drove north and west and ended up in a redwood forest along the Mendocino Coast; all cool and moist and transcendent. For me every drive is a feast for the eyes, and I always return filled to the brim with beauty. The bonus is the wonderful time we have singing really loud and horribly off key, and the deep conversations that arise from spending hours in a confined space together. I know that all those miles are part of the reason that my son's teenage years were such a breeze. He once said, in a tone of surprise, "You know, I tell you thngs I don't even tell my friends." It's the magic of the open road.
P.S. Love the sketches!
- Anthony said...
Absolutely beautiful, delicate spread. I love the loose, non-squared-up frames around the sketches. It all has a lovely sense of the human hand. I love driving too; but to me it's always been the mystery and limitless expanse of the Mojave or Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, West Texas deserts. Someday I'd love to visit your green island, though. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of it.
- mrana said...
France pretty much said it all ...
- andrea joseph's sketchblog said...
Aaaw thanks everyone.
Just thanks!
- Kate said...
Thank goodness you didn't "spare us" this spread. Really beautiful.
- said...
Please post more from this journal! This is fab, truly moving with a real emotional depth, on a different level to the usual (but amazing) work from your other moleskine. I know how you feel, my head is often full of thoughts I can't get rid of...sometimes its hard to just switch off. Great spread thanks for sharing :)
- suzanne said...
L-O-V-E-L-Y. I wish I was riding around with you, though I'm sure it wouldn't be the same.
Such beautiful little snippets from your journey. So beautiful. The grass looks so green and smooth and perfect.
- BeanSS said...
A truly wonderful out pour of emotion. I think I've been there.
- Linda said...
Wonderful! Sounds like a lovely place to drive and sing and think. And I second the vote that you if you feel like sharing this type of page again, we'd all be alright with THAT!
- Sandra T said...
Thank you for not sparing us...the feelings are familiar. Your drawings are beautiful, and these pages evocative.
- Peceli and Wendy's Blog said...
The tall shape of the pictures really help the story along. What a green place! Are there stories of Celtic spirituality in your neck of the woods - fields or stone cairns?
Yeah, we need space to be quiet by ourselves at times, away from the crowds.
- Nancy Van Blaricom said...
Spare us? Are you kidding..... this is wonderful and a treat. Please share more.
- Emma Reid said...
I'm so glad you posted this. It's beautiful.
- andrea joseph's sketchblog said...
Aaw thanks everyone for the lovely comments about this piece. I am touched by the response.
A friend of mine said that it reminded him of my sketchbooks from way back - and it's true. I used to do loads of this stuff, especially these type of scenes. I was always drawing the hills. I don't know why I stopped actually. Maybe just forgot for a while. It was nice to return to this kind of drawing though. It felt right. Cheers all.
- janey said...
Whatever you do, don't spare us. This is beautiful. I like the rectangular shapes and the colors are so soothing. I hope you post every page of your journal.
- martha said...
Beautiful page layout, colors, mood, everything. thank you or sharing!
- Alison said...
I think this is your best post yet - unforgettable imagery, written and sketched. Makes me want to get out of my nice. cosy studio and onto my bike despite the low 8 degrees - yep, I'm going right now.
- laserone said...
Wonderful. Just, wonderful. :) :) :)
- caseytoussaint said...
I can't really add to all the wonderful comments here - I just wanted to let you know how touched I am by this entry. Thanks for posting it.
- 415 Mazer said...
I love your work, very inspiring, especially for a beginner. I appreciate your honesty and to post work which you are not liking, even if to just learn....wonderful energy THANK YOU.

GARDEN GROVE – Trisha Vu, 8, steps up to the whiteboard, marker in hand, to explain to her classmates at Simmons Elementary how to solve a long-division problem.
"Use your loud teacher voice," says teacher Thao Nguyen.
After Trisha correctly shows the class how to divide 248 cookies among 8 people – 31 cookies each! – Nguyen calls for a cowboy cheer, a rousing "yee-haw" with imaginary lassos flying.
The third-graders return to their desks, ready to work quietly on their math problems. If they have a question, they know what to do – ask their desk captain, or another student who's a self-identified math expert.
Nguyen turns to the combination class' second-graders, who have been reading phonics books at their desks during the math lesson. Together, they read aloud from "Mother's Day Parade on Park Street."
Nguyen circles the word "mother's," pointing to the apostrophe.
"What is that called?" she asks.
"Possessive noun!" the class replies.
Across the classroom, third-graders are whispering about long division, working in small groups when a student is stumped.
Nguyen has transformed each student into a mini-teacher, empowering them to help each other learn through collaboration, presentations and lunch and recess tutoring groups.
"To be able to teach someone else helps them to understand at a deeper level," Nguyen said. "But the kid who was struggling can also understand, too. That, to me, is really powerful. They always have an opportunity to help each other in something."
Nguyen came to the United States in 1979 as an 8-year-old.
She and her family fled communist Vietnam on a boat her grandfather built. The family had to launch early in fear the police were suspicious and might detain them, leaving behind her father. They wouldn't reconnect for 15 years.
On the way to a refugee camp in Thailand the boat was attacked and the family robbed by pirates. They made it to the camp, where they waited eight months until a family in Mojave sponsored their move to the United States.
Nguyen, who spoke no English, was placed in third grade.
"Teachers would put me in the corner with puzzles and things to play," Nguyen said. "I was in the corner a lot. I was the only Asian kid."
In fourth grade, Nguyen met a teacher who didn't give her easy work because of the language barrier.
"I remember having a teacher who said, 'I know it's hard for you, but I know you can do all the things other kids can do,' " Nguyen said. "That teacher made the difference."
"I worked my tail off for that teacher."
Life in the United States wasn't easy. Nguyen's mother, Hoa Le, worked two, sometimes three jobs while she, her brother and sister struggled to adapt. When the family moved to Anaheim, they shared a studio apartment with another family.
"Kids will say things like, 'I don't have a quiet place to do my homework,' " Nguyen said. "I totally get it. You have to shut everything else out."
That's why she opens her classroom at lunch and recess for reading and math clubs, staying in to help students work together in any subject in which they struggle.
And it's why she pushes her students – in a school with 91 percent from low-income families and 70 percent English language learners – to work independently during class and, more than anything, to read as much as possible.
"I want to instill in them the love of learning, and understanding that if you want to get out of poverty that the key is education," Nguyen said.
Students often come into Nguyen's class a grade or two behind in reading. Over the year, Nguyen works with them on vocabulary and reading comprehension, pushing them toward more challenging materials.
"She teaches new things every day," said Asuzena Suarez, 8.
Nguyen sets her expectations on the first day of school. She tells her students she expects them to read daily, to learn multiplication and division, to work independently and to follow the rules.
"I'm a strict teacher," she said. "I don't let them give me an excuse."
"Every day, if they don't do well, we're going to work on it because (they) need to do better," Nguyen said. "And they think, 'I have to do this because she's not going to let me not do it.' "
She takes her class to the library each morning to pick out new books, and sets aside class time every day to read.
"Sometimes they come in and can barely read a picture book and they leave my class reading thick chapter books and they're in love with books and reading," Nguyen said. "That, to me, is everything."

Days after two bombs exploded here, killing at least 19 and wounding 62, this normally busy bus station became a memorial site. . .TX.-Cordoned off by police and cleared of most traces of the tragedy, some bloodstains remain on the cement floor and an unused military bandage can be seen lying in a ditch.
Close to the main road stands what is left of the roadside kiosk where the devastating explosions took place. Legend has it that no Israeli soldier finished his or her tour of duty without tasting a sandwich made by the Tzioni family, which ran the place. But now there are large blackened holes in the walls, and the entire structure seems unsafe. Workers are putting up a metal and barbed wire fence around it.
Hundreds of yahrzeit (memorial) candles burn at the bus stops, whose walls are covered in newspaper cuttings with photos of the dead. A hand-printed note was added, calling for divine retribution.
Flowers lay beside the candles; some wreaths, some hand-picked in a hurry. A few already are wilting under the warm winter sun. Prayerbooks lay atop a folding table. Above each bus stop hangs a sign with information on the buses and their destinations and underneath each one is a sign in Hebrew and in English: "Beware Suspicious Objects.
Those on official duty here – security personnel and municipal workers – move around busily and purposefully. Others meander around in a daze. It is quiet.
A mourner recites the Kaddish, the prayer for the dead, and others gather around to say, "amen." Someone else begins to sob at the sight of the young faces famed in black on the walls.
Erez Bilovsky, a farmer, came to pay his respects, and "to witness the stupidity of our people."
He is short and stocky, and does not mince words. "This makes me feel so bad. It was clear that this would happen, and it will again. Ever since we signed that stinking agreement, this is the price we pay," he says, referring to the peace accord between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization.
"And we'll continue to pay until we bring this government down! This government has its head up its ass," he spits in anger. "Two more years to the elections, and we shall shed a lot of blood until then. But after that our time will come. And when we come to power, there won't be a single Arab left here. We shall move them all across the river, and have our country for ourselves. I tell you, by then even those who vote Likud will be considered leftists."
At the other end of the junction, a group of some 40 yeshiva students sit on folding chairs and listen to their rabbi. Some are attentive, others bored and sleepy. "The fate of the Jewish people is the Torah, the Land of Israel and the hereafter. And all three are obtained with great sufferings," lectures the rabbi.
Two students sneak out, and want to speak. Amit Sterl and Amit Yedidya, both 17, are students at the Kfar Haroeh Yeshivah, a National Religious Party stronghold. They have been here since 6:30 a.m., and will stay here until after sundown to recite all three prayers of the day.
"The people are apathetic," Sterl says, and Yedidya agrees with him. "The people must rise and do something. Just because we have skullcaps doesn't make us fanatics, but people must do something. Their voice must be heard. If 300,000 came out in protest something will happen. It may not stop terrorist attacks like this, but something will happen."
Yedidya says, "This government is crazy, agreeing to give up parts of our homeland. Of course I do want peace, but only peace for peace."
Sterl disagrees. "If we don't give up territories, there will never be peace," he says.
Then they decide to agree again, recite their demand that the people awake and do something, and return to their lesson, in which the rabbis explains how the sufferings are meant to bring us together, not apart.
Yael, a sergeant in a base nearby, declines to give her last name, as she is not allowed to discuss politics while in uniform.
'It is painful. It is sad. And it is so frightening. I didn't know any of them, but what does it matter?" she says.
"What should be done next? Peace. Only peace can bring an end to things like this. There is no other way. it's very difficult to come here and see thi and still believe in peace. But there is no other choice. There is no other way but peace," the soldier says.
Yanai Shlomo, an Egged bus inspector, is here to help passengers find their way to the new bus stops. "I am from Netanya" he says, "and this is part of my beat. And I can tell you, what I see here is scary. I keep shivering all the time."
Although it is rather warm, Shlomo keeps on his sweater and winter jacket. "Sometimes I am here on Sunday mornings. You should see what's happening then: Hundreds of soldiers come here for their transportation back to their bases. Hundreds, the entire place is full with heads of young soldiers. Every Sunday morning.
"But things have changed," Shlomo says. "We have become fearful people. Once these soldiers came here by buses or hitched rides. Now their parents bring then in their cars. The parents are afraid to let them come here by themselves. They don't even trust our buses. What has become of us?"
A car slowly pulls out of the parking lot, displaying two stickers on its back window: "The People are With the Peace," and "Peace Is A Different Height," referring to the Golan Heights.
The young people inside are Mali Pinhas, from Ra'anana, and her boyfriend, Yaron Toledano, from Migdal Ha'emek. "No, we were not afraid to come here with our peace stickers. Why should we be?" Toledano asks.
'Look, I just got out of the army two months ago. I served as a combat officer and spent a lot of time in Gaza and the West Bank. This is horrible, what happened here," he says.
"But this is the price of peace. And peace is the only solution.
"It can be done. The right will not give us any more security. They can't. The future, our future lies in peace. The future of our children depends on it," says Toledano.

EAGLEY manager Alex Harvie felt a 2-2 draw was an "unfair result" against Fleetwood Hesketh.
They took the lead after half-an-hour after counter-attacking down the right saw the ball land to Neil Bebbington in the box who finished.
In the second half Fleetwood drew level against the run of play before Simon Neary scored with a great header in the bottom corner.
Hero Neary turned villain moments later when in the rain his header skidded into the back of the net. In Division One, Turton were also held in a draw at Ambleside.
Turton opened the scoring with an excellent team goal finished by Phil Johnson but Ambleside equalised after a defensive error.
Kieran Sisson scored with a header to restore the lead before half time and he put them 3-1 up with a one-on-one with 20 minutes to go. But Ambleside hit back after some naive defending to take a point.
In the same division, Tempest United produced a good performance to run out 3-0 victors at Dalton.
Liam Stewart (two) and an own goal helped wrap up the three points.
Assistant manager Gary Westhead said: "We defended really well when we had too, played some good football an created lots of chances. We have three wins on bounce now which we haven't done for a long time."
Bolton County suffered a 3-1 loss against Wyre Villa.
Mark Ormrod's side came from behind to score a goal by Linford Stewart just before the break.
The second half County looked by far the better side with Tom Aspen outstanding in the middle of the park, but completely against the run of play Jordan Casey latched onto a long ball and hammered home to put Wyre in front.
The game was taken out of County's reach when another long ball straight from Wyres keeper caught out the defence and Nick Webster tapped home.
Meanwhile in Division One CMB bagged three second half goals to beat Walney Island 5-1.
Matt Carr equalised for CMB then Paul Hallows made it 2-1 before the break.
Carr added two more for his hat-trick while Will Archer also scored.
Ladybridge kept up their bid for promotion with a 2-0 win against Kendal County.
Sam Parkinson scored after 25 minutes. A clearance by keeper Paris Nuttall was seized upon by Ashley Morris and he hit a shot into the net.
Manager Dave Walker said: "It was another three points and a good battling display, when Kendal came at us in the second half we showed great determination and work rate to see out the game."
Stoneclough played out a 0-0 draw at home against Barrow.

The burial ground, occupying the original common ground of the southwest quadrant, remains today as Gravesend Cemetery, sole reminder of this pioneer community. With only 1.6 acres, it is one of the smallest cemeteries in the city.
Although it was originally a square at the center of the southwest quadrant, subsequent donations of adjacent property have given it the irregular shape it has today. For example, in 1687 John Tilton willed his property to it. The burial ground existed as early as 1658 when twenty guilders were bequeathed in the will of Thomas Spicer to enclose the cemetery with a fence. The earliest recorded death in Gravesend was in 1650, but most of the gravestones predating the 18th century have disappeared or became illegible.
The graves of most of the original patentees and many of their descedendents are here. Among the many old names recorded are: Cowenhoven, Ryder, Van Nuyse, Suydam, Wyckoff, Van Pelt, Gerritsen, Dyckman and Van Sicklen. The Van Sicklen family maintained their own cemetery in the northwest corner of the Gravesend Cemetery. It is still separately fenced and identified as that of the family. Although it has never been firmly ascertained, it is generally believed that the founder of this community, Lady Deborah Moody, was buried in the cemetery.

Molina is 4-for-12 with a 2B and HR and Freese is 4-for-8 with a 2B and HR so its extra nice they are out of the lineup.
Leake gets through the first unscathed minus a single.
Good top of the first for the Reds
No balls out of the infield in the home half, need to get some balls in the air off this guy and rattle his cage as he has a hard time on the road.
Quick top of 2nd. Still scoreless.
Nice turn, their order isn't as imposing when they take out two big bats. Mike needs to not left the reserves beat him and he could be OK if we get him some runs.
Kick save and a beauty by Craig. Scoring chance for Rolen with 2 out.
That was a Cardinals type play for sure on Bruce taking a potential double away with a shin bone on a liner you missed.
Rolen walks. Up to Navarro.
No dice. Navarro K's. Headed to the 3rd.
Another solid inning for Leake. Zeros going to bottom 3rd.
Leake starts us off right now lets get him in.
Complete and utter failure with the top guys in this lineup, over and over and over again.

come smell your way among the trees,
come touch rough bark and leathered leaves:
Welcome to the night.
Welcome to the night, where mice stir and furry moths flutter. Where snails spiral into shells as orb spiders circle in silk. Where the roots of oak trees recover and repair from their time in the light. Where the porcupette eats delicacies—raspberry leaves!—and coos and sings.
Come out to the cool, night wood, and buzz and hoot and howl—but do beware of the great horned owl—for it's wild and it's windy way out in the woods!
This Newbery Honor-winning picture book combines beautifully written poetry with facts of the forest and elaborate illustrations to form a marvelously engaging collection.

Elton John will take the stage just outside the Colosseum in September
Eccentric singer Elton John is going to perform outside the Colosseum on September 3, so said Rome officials on Friday. The concert, which is a free one, is reported to take place on the Via dei Fori Imperiali, the large boulevard that leads to the Colosseum and is lined with ancient Roman relics.
Rome Mayor Walter Veltroni told a news conference, "It will be a great event ... held in the most charming scenery in the world." As for John he said, "I can't wait to meet my fans in Rome for a unique musical happening. It is so exciting.

Matt Neal has taken a vital pole position ahead of the final rounds of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship at Silverstone.
The championship leader went into the session carrying maximum ballast on his car but was still able to emerge on top of the pile as he edged Mat Jackson out of top spot. Jackson's hopes of then fighting back to reclaim pole were ended when Tony Hughes went off at Copse and brought out the yellow flags.
Behind the top two, Gordon Shedden was third quickest ahead of James Nash - despite the Triple Eight man suffering the after-effects of a cold - with Alex MacDowall and Tom Chilton rounding out the top six.
Defending champion Jason Plato was seventh quickest in his normally-aspirated Chevrolet despite trying to benefit from a tow from the Tech-Speed Cruze of Paul O'Neill.
Andy Neate, Tom Onslow-Cole and Frank Wrathall rounded out the top ten, with former champion James Thompson 15th on his return to the series and the NGTC-engined BMW of Tony Gilham in 22nd.
The new Thorney Motorsport Vauxhall Insignia failed to turn any laps after a clutch issue.

Romney Turns 65 But Isn't Taking Medicare
March 12, 2012 by staff
Romney Turns 65 But Isn't Taking Medicare, Mitt Romney is turning 65 today. That means he's now eligible for Medicare, the government-run insurance program that covers about 47 million older Americans. But he's not planning to enroll.
Medicare has emerged as a contentious campaign issue. Romney has embraced the proposal of Rep. Paul Ryan, which aims to keep Medicare intact for people currently in the program and for those who are approaching eligibility age, while transforming it for everybody else into a system of subsidies for people to purchase private insurance.
In time, that proposal would essentially end Medicare as it currently exists and vastly increase out-of-pocket costs for participants. At the same time, Romney has criticized President Obama for cutting spending on Medicare in his budget.
Romney is doing his part to keep Medicare solvent – he's not signing up for it. The campaign has told my colleague Holly Bailey that the 65-year-old candidate plans to remain on his private insurance and will not enroll in Medicare.

Cat Wakes Up Owner With Funny 'Kitty Alarm'
While pets jumping on our beds and waking us up in the mornings is quite a common habit, this cat's way of waking up its owner is nothing less than annoying — and down right hilarious!
Boo doesn't like to be by himself, so every morning at 5am he wakes up his owner by sliding his paw under the bedroom door and pulling on the doorstop, repeatedly.
You might think it sounds harmless enough, but watch the sound this doorstop makes and imagine yourself waking up to that every morning.
Subscribe to TheFW on
That's quite a "cat alarm" clock. But as is typical of cats, at the end, after all that annoying tugging on the doorstop, when the owner opens the door, Boo stays outside. Sigh.

Microsoft Updates "Tech Tomorrowland"
- Microsoft Updates "Tech Tomorrowland"
- Prototype Tech
Microsoft has officially unveiled its third update to its Center for Information Work, a "Tomorrowland" of technology that attempts to envision what a future work environment might look like.
The new scenario, according to the model Microsoft researchers have developed, will be an increasingly collaborative environment where technology will be used to create context and abstract the gigabytes of information that users will be subjected to.
Technologies such as "DataLens," "BestCom," and sectioned documents have been designed to segment and partition tasks into manageable chunks that can be accessed by a variety of platforms, Microsoft executives said. Others, such as the "Roundtable" or "RingCam," are constantly being improved and may eventually commercialized.
The CIW sits on Microsoft's campus in Redmond, Wash., and attempts to map out, and address, what issues will be faced by tomorrow's worker. It's a combination of focus group, ethnography, and team-building; since the center is housed inside Microsoft's executive briefing building, vice presidents and other senior executives from Fortune 3000 companies are invited to sit down and explore the technology, according to Thomas Gruver, group marketing manager for the CIW. About 30 tours are given a week. The center is updated about every 12 to 18 months, he said.
Like the concept cars at an auto show, all, some, or none of the technologies will make it to market or, if they do, they may be tucked inside another product.
"It's quite helpful now that we can bring customers through, show them what we're working on, and receive their feedback on our vision, which we can propagate to that product group, so that they can change their direction or style based on that feedback," Gruver said.
"This represents concepts from across Microsoft," Gruver added "While there's quite a bit of Office and Office planning, one of the things you won't see is the next version of the product, things like Vista plus one."
PC Magazine asked some of the industry's top design experts to come up with ideas for future products. Here's what they dreamed up.
Microsoft's latest scenario involves a pharmaceutical company, and taking a product from the research phase all the way through trials, government approval, and to market. By roleplaying functional prototypes of the technology, customers can help work out workflow issues one of the practices Microsoft is hoping to streamline.
"The new version, based on feedback, is that we want to see, both inside and outside the firewall, more cross-industry collaboration," Gruver said.
The "new" emphasis on collaboration, however, is one that Microsoft has promoted ever since Office 2000, its launch of a collaboration server in 2003, and the launch of Office 2003 that same year.
That said, one of the more advanced concepts is actually quite simple: the idea of splitting a document or project into sections, each of which could be checked out at a time, to facilitate collaboration.
Microsoft's new CIW exhibit is designed with four key areas in mind, Gruver said. The first is a grab bag: Microsoft set out to learn how workers can enhance their individual productivity, while managing security and "information fatigue" from too much information. Second, the company set out to improve collaboration, through its third goal, the better management of workflows. The end goal? Better business intelligence. Continued...

Floaty and airy, a sweet confection for spring!
Asymmetrical strips of color converge and diverge to form a unique, adaptable accessory. Wear it long and loose or looped around and tied. Styling tips included.
This gauge is recommended, not critical. As long as you are happy with how your fabric is coming out, go for whatever needle size you want to use. A looser gauge would be lovely.
This is great TV or yarn-bowl knitting, but I would not recommend this as a travel project because of the mohair-tangle factor.
I am still discovering ways to wear this. It is so light and comfortable!

The two clubs usually aren't in the playoff picture this late in the season, but this year's different. Seattle on Tuesday was tied with Detroit for the final AL wild-card slot, while Kansas City led the AL Central by 2 games over the Tigers.
The Mariners took two out of three games from the Tigers in Detroit over the weekend to move in front for the last wild-card. Seattle has won 12 of its last 17 games and four straight series.
After Sunday's 12-6 win over Minnesota, the Royals had won 20 of their last 25 games. It was the latest point in the season that Kansas City had been in first place since 2003.
Seattle's pitching has been a key to its success. The Mariners' starting pitchers have allowed three runs or less in each of the past 15 games. Seattle leads the major leagues with a 2.94 ERA overall.
Chris Young won his 12th game for Seattle on Sunday, beating Detroit 8-1. He allowed four hits and no runs in six innings while matching his career-high in wins. Young has won four straight games, and in his last 12 starts, his ERA has dipped to 2.45.
"With that lineup, you know you are going to get into trouble," Young said of the Tigers. "The key is getting out of it, and I was able to miss bats when I needed to today."
Kansas City, which ranks 14th in the majors in runs scored, poured it on in Sunday's 12-6 win at Minnesota. The Royals started early with seven runs in the second inning, getting two-run singles by Alcides Escobar and Nori Aoki. Then they got home runs from Alex Gordon, Salvador Perez and Josh Willingham later in the game.
The Royals have won eight consecutive series, and they beat the Oakland A's in two of those series this month.
In Kansas City's last homestand, the Royals went 6-1, including a sweep over San Francisco.
"We feel pretty good about ourselves," Royals manager Ned Yost said after a 7-3 win over Oakland last week. "I think every (starting) pitcher we faced on this homestand has been an All-Star and to take six out of seven is pretty good. I'm happy with where we're at."
StatsWatch: Hitting a triple is one of the toughest things to do in baseball, even for the speediest runners in the game. Here's a list of who does it the most (through Sunday's games):
- Dee Gordon, Dodgers, 10 triples
- Hunter Pence, Giants, 9
- Brandon Crawford, Giants, 9
- Yasiel Puig, Dodgers, 9
- Alex Rios, Rangers, 8
- Michael Bourn, Indians, 7
- Brett Gardner, Yankees, 7
- Billy Hamilton, Reds, 7
- Adeiny Hechavarria, Marlins, 7
- Adam Eaton, White Sox, 7
Diamond Notes: The New York Yankees have activated catcher Brian McCann from the seven-day concussion list. McCann was injured during a game on Aug. 8 at Cleveland…Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka threw in a bullpen session on Saturday for the first time since going on the disabled list on July 9th with a partial ligament tear in his right elbow…Pittsburgh placed right-handed pitcher Charlie Morton on the 15-day DL with right hip inflammation. Morton is 5-12 with a 3.84 ERA and hasn't won since July 2…The Boston Red Sox are waiting to hear on whether they will be able to acquire Cuban defector Rusney Castillo. Castillo is projected to be an outfielder with plus speed and an average arm.

DETROIT (Dec. 27)
Sen. Philip A. Hart (D., Mich.) who died yesterday at his Washington home, a victim of cancer, was a longtime supporter of Zionism and the State of Israel. He served as chairman of the Michigan chapter of the American Christian Palestine Committee, the group that was formed in the 1990s to back Jewish efforts in Palestine.
In the Senate, to which he was first elected in 1958. Hart was a co-sponsor of all measures to provide American economic and military as assistance to Israel. He was known as "the conscience of the Senate" for his fights against bigotry and in support of consumer affairs. He played a large part in every civil rights, consumer and antitrust bill passed by Congress since the early 1960s. Hart, who was 64, did not seek re-election this year after 18 years in the Senate.
In 1955, when he was Lt. Governor of Michigan, Hart and the then Gov. G. Menen Williams were honored with the Williams-Hart Forest in Israel by the Jewish National Fund Council of Detroit. Williams and Hart visited Israel and attended a special ceremony at the forest in the hills of Menashe planted in their honor. Percy Kaplan, executive director of the JNF Council in Detroit, announced today that a garden of frees will be planted in Israel by the JNF in memory of Hart.

Property faces a plethora of regulatory challenges in the new financial year.
Most of us look to the property fundamentals to predict the next 12 months. We assess interest rates, the economy, demand and supply.
But the big investors also look to regulatory risk. And this financial year there is plenty of it.
The Abbott government has four major inquiries under way, each of which has implications for property.
Many of the issues have been raised before. Many will go back into the too-hard basket. Some significant changes are bound to eventuate.
Top of the list is what might come out of the white paper on the reform of Australia's tax system.
All the old issues will be back on the table – the wind-back of negative gearing and capital gains tax benefits, the repeal of stamp duty and a broader land tax. In the background is a higher GST with implications for the housing industry and shopping malls.
Housing also has a special place in another key enquiry, the white paper on the reform of the federation.
In the terms of reference released on Saturday, Prime Minister
At the moment, Canberra is withdrawing from housing at a time when the states have no financial capacity to deal with the problem.
'We've got a problem'
Problem is not my word. It was the word chosen by the Minister for Social Security,
"As you well know, we've got a problem," he said. "As a nation we do not build enough private dwellings for our growing population."
Some of the constraints on housing may also be addressed in another key enquiry, the Competition Policy (or Harper) Review.
One small focus of its issues paper was whether planning, zoning or other development regulations adversely affect competition.
Twenty years ago, in the last review of competition policy, land use was not an issue. Now it is, repeatedly brought to the fore by retailers like Aldi who are trying to break supermarket oligopoly.
Retail property owners also face challenges from plans by the Minister for Small Business,
The Billson reforms are now in the pipeline and worrying the Shopping Centre Council of Australia. "We are concerned that the proposed unfair contract regime would impose double regulation on retail leasing," says executive director
"Retail leases are already heavily regulated by state and territory governments," he said.
Property analysts will be watching for any changes, good or bad, in the real estate's access to capital.
All those reviews are only the start, and do not count state activity.
Also in the pipeline is the House of Representatives enquiry into Foreign Investment in Australian Housing which, at the least, is likely to suggest stricter compliance with current rules.

A SIZZLING piece of trackwork, the scratching of crack local Little Bridge and a perfect draw combined to underline Sea Siren's soaring hopes in the $1.7 million Hong Kong International Sprint on Sunday.
Trainer John O'Shea was elated after Australia's lone hope in the 1200m sprint feature drew barrier seven.
"Beautiful," O'Shea enthused. "She'll get a good run from there. It is exactly what we wanted."
O'Shea was similarly effusive after Sea Siren worked stylishly at Sha Tin.
His mood contrasted with Little Bridge's connections, who were forced to scratch the Royal Ascot winner after he developed a corn in his nearside hoof.
Little Bridge won the King's Stand Stakes, downing - among others - champion Australian mare Ortensia, and was seen as Hong Kong's major hope of Group 1 success on Sunday.
South Australian stayer Alcopop will start from barrier four in the Hong Kong Cup (2000m).
Trainer Jake Stephens was happy after the eight-year-old drew alongside French superstar Cirrus Des Aigles (five) and just wide of The Queen's galloper Carlton House (two).
Carlton House will be having his final start for English trainer Sir Michael Stoute before transferring to Gai Waterhouse's stables.
Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cup winner Dunaden will jump from barrier two in the Longines Hong Kong Vase (2400m).

Limitaciones a la integración de los mercados peninsulares en la monarquía hispánica. El sureste peninsular en los siglos XV y XVI
Authoritarian Monarchies in the Early Modern period have been considered as a keystone of the outset of the market economy in Europe. However, as a result of their own need of coexistence with other power institutions, it has to be taken into account that those monarchies implied the survival of inefficient economic arrangements that did not precisely contribute to market integration across the Continent. Among the inefficient economic policies we can lists fixed prices as well as communal granaries, charts to assure cites supply or handicaps to free movement of goods by the customs policy into the realms. It would be mistaken to argue that those policies against free internal trade were a burden for the economic growth without analyzing the special conditions under which market run in the 17th century. The effects of the demand over the supply were not identical everywhere and, hence, its use as an explanatory concept for economic growth takes the risk of being used without an empirical base. This paper focuses on the effects that the demand caused over the householders, the appearance of rent-seeking and the consequences of high cereals prices that forced the Monarchy to limit the free internal trade in order maintaining the social status quo.

Transporter TV Series Trailer Online
No Stath but plenty of carmageddon
We've known the US telly adaptation of the Luc Besson-produced Transporter films were on their way via American cable channel Cinemax. We also knew that Chris Vance would be stepping into the Stath's sharp suits and stunt moves as Frank Martin. What we were left to guess at is how closely the show would mirror the movies' particular OTT style. Now we have some footage in the trailer, which you can watch below.
Transporter finds Martin doing what he does best: making sure sensitive packages make their way to the appropriate person without nasty types intercepting them. Or, if the nasty types do intercept them, that he dishes out the maximum amount of pain to anyone getting in his way.
Naturally, given the movies' propensity for attractive women, bad gangsters and car-smashing action, this isn't always so cut and dried. From the looks of this – and given that Strike Back producer Cinemax is driving the show – it looks like we're in for more of the same, albeit without the Stath's scowl. But you do at least get François Berléand as Inspector Tarconi.
There's no word on when this one will actually hit screens, and there has been talk of behind-the-scenes creative issues, but it might end up as a fill in for anyone missing their Stath-as-Frank fix...

There are certain things that have never been associated with the Wright County Board of Commissioners. Among those would be the discussions trending on Twitter that include a Wright County Board hashtag.
At a time when technology is advancing rapidly and communication is changing, especially with younger county residents, the county's system of operating has become a bit antiquated.
That might change soon. One of the first things the new county board, especially Commissioner Mark Daleiden, wanted when the changing of the guard came at the county board with infusion of four tech-savvy commissioners was to take the county out of the 1990s and into the 2010s.
As part of the county board's Aug. 20 agenda, the commissioners referred discussion concerning significant advancements to the presentation of county board meetings and how the county conducts its business to the technology committee's Sept. 11 meeting.
Topics to be discussed at that meeting include web streaming of county board meetings, digitizing the packet of board information to the county website, the conversion of committee minutes and documents to a digital format and a redesign of the county's website.
"It's an exciting time," Information Technology Director Bill Swing said. "The vision of the new county board is to support transparency in county government. The goal is to make the county's website much more interactive and make it much easier for those looking for services to find them on the website instead of having to come to the courthouse or wait in line."

An RCMP tip line is being set up to help slow the growing off-road vehicle theft industry in Manitoba.
According to the RCMP, the number of off-road auto thefts has risen sharply over the last few months, specifically in the Interlake area.
Dating back to January 2013, 23 all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) have yet to be recovered in the region. The Interlake area has also seen a high number of snowmobile theft over the previous winter, RCMP say.
The tip line number: 1-855-814-4118. RCMP can also be reached via email at: email@example.com
Members of the public are asked to used the line and email address to provide information regarding vehicle thefts, including off-road vehicles, heavy machinery and construction site equipment in rural Manitoba.

Best to take the marscapone and custard out of fridge for a couple hours to come to room temp before you mix - hard to get the marscapone to mix through the custard without any lumps straight from the fridge. I took from fridge and when I couldn't mix to smooth with either silicone hand whish (not electric) or fork I tried split second beat with my electric handmixer but that made it worse then left on kitchen window for couple of hours and was able to handmix to smooth without electrics.Also Think sponge would benefit from some booze to give it a kick! My waigrise summer frozen berries mix included some very tart tiny berries - these were too tart otherwise frozen very convenient.
6th Dec, 2015
I made this last Christmas for my tee-total parents and this year I'm making it for them and a crowd. I made a couple of changes: I used a good quality Strawberry Jam instead of the Cherry. I omitted the Sherry and instead made my own Raspberry Puree which I swirled into the cream topping so it was marbled with pink and white (very pretty!), then I drizzled more Raspberry Puree on the top and scattered with fresh Raspberries that had been sat in a little icing sugar until they went juicy. Not only did it look amazing, it was absolutely delicious and my very fussy father asked for seconds!
7th Jul, 2015
I made this trifle for a WI event, everyone loved it but I didn't get the chance to taste it so I made another one for my family. My husband said it was the best trifle he had ever tasted. I found it very easy to make and will certainly make it again and will keep it on my list for a dessert for over Christmas.

A Simple Single Setting Controller Yields PI PerformanceDownload Now
This paper presents a simple velocity control algorithm with output modification that has equivalent PI controller dynamic performance. The controller features a single control setting. The controller can be easily configured in most distributed control systems, DCS and programmable logic controllers, PLC. This paper describes the controller structure and behavior as well as a control discussion on how to calculate the gain setting to determine the control period. To test the controller on real processes, the algorithm was applied to a level and temperature control loops in a laboratory, pilot plant setting.
A control algorithm presented by W. Steven Woodward describes a velocity temperature controller [1] that modifies the output based on the pervious output value when the process variable, PV, crosses the set point, SP. This modification is the algebraic mean of the current calculated output and the output value at the previous zero error crossing. The term coined for this algorithm is "Take-Back-Half", TBH. This algorithm has some acceptance as an embedded application controller. In this paper we will demonstrate how this controller has applicability to the process control community. In section 2, we will describe how this simple controller functions and how to program the algorithm. Section 3 discusses the controller system design and how to determine the gain setting and closed loop period. In section 4 we will present the results of the pilot scale controllers performance. In section 5 we will set forth the conclusions.

2012 Olympic mascot reigns
in New World Order
by: John
There is something very unsettling about the
new 2012 Olympic mascot. If you are looking for
yet another sign of the coming changes in 2012,
I encourage you to read on.
All-Seeing Eye, also known as the widget eye or
'Eye of Horus' comes from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
The Egyptians saw this symbol as a representation
of their God, which they believed will bring about
"Ordo ab Chao" or "Order out
of Chaos". The Freemasons later adopted
this single eye symbol as did their extreme group
of elitist counterparts know as The Secret Order
of the Illuminati. It is a prevalent part of their
artwork and architecture throughout the world,
and a conscious reminder of their ultimate goals.
The Secret Order of the Illuminati is also and
anti-religious organization which believes that
our very existence revolves around a great architect
of the universe. They believe this perceived God
uses a carefully orchestrated system of precise
weights, measurements and geometry to define balance,
continuing life and ultimate power. The ancient
Egyptians as well as the ancient Mayans also shared
this belief as represented by their extraordinary
ability to so accurately build their pyramids
in harmony with the universe. As a result, the
Illuminati also adopted the symbolism of the pyramid
and use it as a form of initiation into their
exclusive organization.
These adopted symbols have been in place since
the early 1700's and have clearly represented
the Illuminati's desire to achieve ultimate
power and eminent domain over the entire planet.
Although the All-Seeing Eye and representations
of the pyramid can be seen throughout the world,
the combined symbolism has never been so prevalent
as it appears in the seal on the reverse side
of the United States one-dollar bill. This seal
was approved and put in place by an elite group
of elected political figures that were also members
of the Illuminati. The single eye over an unfinished
pyramid is a tell-tale sign of their desire to
bring about a New
World Order in a time of coming change as
foreseen and foretold by the ancient Mayans.
its simplest interpretation, the seal depicts
the All-Seeing Eye illuminating the pyramid capstone,
which hovers over an unfinished pyramid that has
13 steps. The Illuminati believe that after we
have completed the 13 steps of ascension, the
capstone can then be put into place atop the pyramid
signifying the beginning of a New
World Order. This 13-stage ascension is also
significant as it relates to the Mayan Long Count
calendar. Their calendar continuously progresses
through a series of 5,125-year cycles know as
baktuns. As each ba ktun cycles through, the world
has been met with ever increasing turmoil. The
13th and final baktun will soon come to an abrupt
end on December 21 2012 and will bring about a
change behold our current level of comprehension.
This slow and steady ascension towards the coming
change has been thousands of years in the making.
However, over the last hundred years or so, we
have seen a rapid increase in its progression.
Most notably is the government's ability
to institute self-imposed chaos and the need for
government intervention. The powers that be from
all around the world have created a system of
governing initiatives carefully designed to guarantee
your unwilling participation. Over the next couple
of years, you will either willingly become dependent
on the progressive New
World Order, or you will be taxed into submission.
By the time we reach the date of no return on
December 21 2012, we will be insisting that the
world governments intervene and bring order to
the chaos that they themselves so skillfully crafted.
To achieve their goal of a one-world government,
they are now and will continue to use scare techniques
such as economic manipulation, environmental warnings
as well as social and political unrest. They will
utilize modern day technologies such as the internet
and main stream media, and will institute carefully
planed marketing campaigns designed to further
manipulate an already receptive population. Which
brings me to the following. . .
The Olympic games brings the world together in
the spirit of unity and peace and is the perfect
place to garner the attention of a large number
of people. The architects of the proposed New
World Order clearly recognize the signs of
coming change and have every intention of exploiting
the situation. What better way to instill a unified
sense of trust then with a lovable non-threatening
International Olympic Committee in what seems
to be association with The Secret Order of the
Illuminati has now introduced the official mascot
for the 2012 Olympic games. As you look at the
Teletubbies inspired creature, your attention
is immediately drawn to the whimsical representation
of the All-Seeing Eye. The eye is crowned with
what appears to be the capstone of the unfinished
pyramid indicating ascension complete. Within
the capstone is the letter "W" which
could very well represent the word "World".
The 2012 Olympic mascot named Wenlock along with
his Paralympic mascot buddy named Mandeville are
almost scary by design. Especially when you consider
what could very well be their real purpose.

In addition we propose that the filewrapper be made publicly available thereafter. This is a logical extension of a policy of open and informative prosecution which the 18 month publication rule appears to envision. We recommend the latter as public scrutiny assists with insuring the greatest candor in dealing with the Office at an early stage. And it makes third party observations public The laying open of the filewrapper becomes a lay ing open of the filewrapper as well. Once the application is published we see little merit in then slamming the door on the prosecution process which may be already partially disclosed, assuming ame ndments prior to the 18 month date are published as well. We suggest publishing the application as filed. Thereafter any interested party can review the file to determine what actions had been taken on the case after it had been filed by simply ordering a copy of the filewrapper. We believe continuations, divisionals and continuation-in-part applications should be published as well, with the filewrappers being publicly available as well. Such applications could be published on receipt, provided the earliest claimed priority date was more than 18 month previous. To the best of our knowledge this two-part approach has not had any adverse effects where practiced in the rest of the world. We support creating an electronic data base to capture applications and as a means for publishing those applications. This data base should be made available on the Internet via a USPTO Home Page a nd would be searchable. At minimum it would be indexed. Preferably applications would be available in a text/graphics format whenever possible through use of EASY. Hard copy filings would be scanned in and if possible converted to text using OCR technology. This data base should be made available free of charge to all because the public has already paid for its creation through taxes and USPTO fees. We oppose distributing this data base to for-profit organizations who would then charge an additional fee for processing the data. The example of the Supreme Court should be followed; it now makes its decisions available on-line and free of charge. An index containing a descriptive title, abstract, inventors, and assignee(s) would be published in hard copy form. A standard application format should be instituted. We suggest following the PCT guidelines as they are becoming a de facto international standard and may provide down-stream capability to integrat e USPTO and WIPO communications and electronic transmittal of documents between these organizations. More broadly, a standard format used by all major Patent Offices would be quite useful in light o f the plans for electronic integration of the EPO, JPO and USPTO. In conjunction with this effort, a standard transmittal letter should be prepared by the Office and made mandatory for filing applic ations. A standard format would make it possible to extract data directly to a subsidary data base, such as an index of titles, inventors abstracts, etc. which could then be published in electronic form or printed without having to re-key data. We support a publication cut-off date by which date one could request that the application not be published, it then would go abandoned. A fifteen month deadline is reasonable. The onus should be p laced on the filing party to request withdrawal of the publication, not on the Office. We have no comments on the issue of accelerated examination. Regarding publication fees, this cost should be built into the filing fee. The provisonal application fees should not be affected as these will not be published. We do not believe any additional fe e is warranted at this time for publishing applications. If or when a fee is added it should not be a separate and independent fee; publication would be mandatory unless a petition to withdraw the a pplication, with fee, was filed in a timely manner. In summary, we support publishing applications at 18 months, making the filewrapper available at that time and using publishing the applications in electronic form accessible over the Internet thro ugh a USPTO Home Page type of interface.

Norwegian Getaway for Kids
- Pro: Getaway makes the most of outdoor spaces like the Waterfront with its South Beach vibe.
- Con: Fees add up for wow-factor experiences, such as upscale restaurants and dinner theater.
- Bottom Line: Getaway offers an abundance of dining and entertainment options with a Miami flair.
Norwegian Getaway for Families
Norwegian looks after kids onboard with a huge variety of options, so there's no reason for anyone between the ages of 6 months and 17 years to be bored.
Splash Academy is the main kids club -- a two-deck supervised space, located on decks 12 and 13, forward. It's a large area connected by an internal staircase, with lots of spaces for each different age group. What we found odd, however, is that it's entirely enclosed with neither outside space nor even a window. Considering Getaway will be based in Miami, and Norwegian has made such a huge fuss about the outdoor Waterfront area on Deck 8, this made no sense to us.
Kids in Splash Academy are divided by age groups: Turtles (3 to 5), Seals (6 to 9) and Dolphins (10 to 12). Guppies (6 months to 2 years) can use the Splash Academy facilities only if accompanied by a parent. A completely separate teen program -- Entourage, for 13- to 17-year-olds -- is located on Deck 16, aft.
Turtles and Seals have Deck 12 to themselves; Dolphins have Deck 13. The two floors are decorated with lots of vibrant colors and designs on the walls (we loved the Spy Wall) and also include a TV room with plenty of chairs, tables and beanbags. The program for all age groups is action packed, with everything from fashion shows and pirate-themed nights for the older kids to a jungle-themed "safari" and arts and crafts for the younger kids. On sea day three, the kids put on a circus show, entitled "Big Top at Sea," in the Getaway Theater. Even the 3- to 5-year-olds get in on the action with face painting that turns them into lions and tigers.
Guppies (6 months to 2 years) are welcome at Splash Academy, but parents are required to stay with them at all times, as the ship does not provide childcare service. However, the Guppies program (taking place on Deck 13) does offer some fun for parents with babies, including the Wee Can Too program that lets infants be artists with special edible paints (made with vegetables). Guppies also have a completely separate -- but quite small -- soft playroom on Deck 16, with a large picture window overlooking the Sun Deck. Age-specific activities are provided.
Parents can check their kids into Splash Academy using tablets at the main desk on Deck 12. Kids are issued wristbands, which they wear for the duration of the cruise. Splash Academy is open from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. every day. On sea days, it closes between noon and 2 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.; on port days, there is a $6 charge per child for supervision during meal times. After 10:30 p.m., Splash Academy turns into the Late Night Fun Zone, which includes gaming with Nintendo's Wii U, building forts and crazy tag. If all this sounds pretty stimulating for that time of night, kids can also find a quiet place where they can nod off, but there are no dedicated beds or cots. Late Night Fun Zone costs $6 for the first child and $4 for each additional child within the same family.
A kids' splash pool is located on the main pool deck, which has fountains and slides.
For teens, Entourage is a separate space way up on Deck 16, aft, near the video arcade and beside the entrance to Spice H2O. In contrast to Splash Academy, this space is flooded with light, with huge picture windows affording great views from the top of the ship. It operates completely differently from Splash Academy, with teens allowed to come and go as they please; parents sign a waiver, and staff do not have the authority to make kids stay. The lounge's open hours are 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. on sea days and 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. on port days.
Entourage features a video jukebox and dance floor, four gaming stations with Wii U, air hockey, foosball and a two-sided DJ emulator -- one of five in the world (another is on sister ship, Breakaway) -- where kids can learn to DJ. DJs also are on hand during special events to teach kids, with pros from big nightclubs and festivals like Coachella providing instruction. Activities include pool parties, quizzes and karaoke. Teens apparently love it, and it's a great place for them to meet other teens. (It's also unlikely you'll see much of yours for the duration of the cruise.)
The video arcade has an array of games, which are $1 to $2 per play, so be careful when sending kids with their cards to freely swipe.
All in all, the great features and awesome staff make the facilities onboard Getaway undoubtedly some of the best at sea for children and teens.

Has anyone taken a taxi from the cruise port in St Kitts to Turtle Beach. Any info would be appreciated. Cruising on 2/24 and I've been to all ports except St. Kitts and heard snorkeling is good at Turtle Beach.
Hi merjo, welcome to Cruise-Chat. We've been to St. Kitts a few times. The first time we did a tour to the fort and a batik factory, it was really interesting. The last few, we did catamaran sail/snorkel trips through the ship. I have heard good things about Turtle Beach, but can't give you first hand knowledge because we didn't go there. The snorkeling we have done there has been pretty good. This might give you some ideas. Hope you enjoy your cruise and once again, welcome aboard!
Thanks, Penny, for your help!!!

Best Buy Sony Reader display does not contain information on the 650
Yesterday I was in Best Buy looking around and decided to have a look at the Sony Reader display. They have a Sony provided display that features the 350 and 950. The flip-card chart contains information on each tab for the 350 and 950. It even has a comparison page of the two units. There is NO mention, missing tabs or photos of the 650 anywhere on the display.
As sad as this makes me, I personally don't think we are going to see the 650much longer. My parnter has a theory that the public is buying more of the 350 for its size and the 950 for its features so Sony has stopped making them. I don't buy into this much as the 505 was their best model and why wouldn't they offer a similar model. Its disappointing to not hear a word from Sony about the lack of 650 availability.
Does anyone have more information to support or deny this observation?
I seriously hope I am wrong. I will continue to support the Sony Readers as long as them come out. I pray they are not abandoning Readers.

The Security web pages are part of our effort to promote awareness of the Leeward programs and services provided for your safety and well-being.
Campus Security
The Campus Security unit, under the administration of the Vice Chancellor of Administrative Services, is responsible for providing security service for the campus. The Campus Security Office is located in the Language Arts (LA) Building, room LA 238. Security Officers are on duty 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The unit is staffed by a Security Supervisor and six security officers.
A downloadable PDF of all Campus Security information is available at the bottom of this web page.
Campus Security Officers conduct vehicle and foot patrols on campus. They are charged with the enforcement of federal, state and local laws, and rules and regulations of Leeward CC.
They perform the full range of public safety services dealing with incident reports; campus investigations, medical and fire emergencies; traffic accidents; enforcement of laws regulating the use of alcohol, drugs and weapons, inspection of lighting and shrubbery; and all other situations requiring Campus Security assistance.
While Campus Security Officers do not have police powers and are not authorized to carry firearms, any campus incident requiring an arrest is referred to the Honolulu Police Department. Campus Security Officers are trained in areas such as emergency first-aid, CPR, report writing, investigative skills, and crowd control by experts from federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.
Campus security maintains a close working relationship with all law enforcement agencies within the State utilizing their resources and expertise as needed. Whenever appropriate, meetings are held with these external agencies and crime-related information reports and statistics are exchanged.
The Leeward CC crime prevention program is based upon the dual concept of eliminating or minimizing opportunities for crime while encouraging students and employees to assume responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others by taking common sense precautions. The following is a listing of Leeward CC crime prevention programs.

Slomka's 5 TDs lead Pine-Richland past Fox Chapel
Brandon Mitchell caught a 66-yard pass from Billy Urso, and Carrington Vaughn scored on a 10-yard run, but Fox Chapel (0-1, 0-1) opened the season with a 49-18 loss to visiting Pine-Richland (1-0, 1-0) on Friday in the Quad North Conference.
Pine-Richland quarterback Ben DiNucci was 10 of 14 for 244 yards and a touchdown, and Connor Slomka rushed for 172 yards and five scores for Pine-Richland.
Urso threw for 253 yards and two TDs for Fox Chapel.
