Four hundred million dollars later, how do last week's moves affect the fantasy value of the players involved?
Jason Schmidt signs with the Dodgers. Look for a big 2007 season out of Schmidt, as pitcher-friendly Dodger Stadium should be good for his numbers. While health is an issue, he should be able to eclipse the 200-inning threshold for the fourth time in the past five years. If the Dodgers can continue to score runs like they did in 2006, (which will be difficult with the loss of J.D. Drew) look for Schmidt to notch 16 wins or more. His value is slightly diminished in keeper leagues due to the fact that he will be 34 at the beginning of the season and no one knows for sure what the Dodgers lineup will produce in the next few years. If you can pick him up in the fifth or sixth round of your draft, you will have made a good pick.

Jonah Keri introduces us to the participants in Baseball Prospectus' Celebrity Scoresheet League.
Even the most die-hard Rotisserie player would stop short of calling the game a perfect proxy for the real thing, though. Roto's focus on statistics such as RBI, stolen bases, saves and wins are enough to make any card-carrying stathead scurry for the soothing comfort of his VORP tables. Luckily there are games that do a better job of replicating real-life baseball. Strat-O-Matic incorporates such elements as defense and strategic decisions (taking the extra base, bunting, hit-and-run plays) into its game. Strat does fall short in one element though, as it relies on the previous season's stats to generate the action. "What, Derrek Lee hit another three-run homer? Shocking!"
Scoresheet Baseball, on the other hand, combines realistic game results with current-year statistics. If Eric Chavez goes 11-for-24 in a given week, you get the benefit of that offensive outburst and Chavez's Gold Glove defense during the corresponding week on the Scoresheet schedule. Scoresheet has a few flaws too. It doesn't account for park effects for one, making Rockies hitters and Nationals pitchers appear more valuable than they are in reality. Still, it's a challenging, fun-to-play game that's a departure from traditional rotoball.

Jonah Keri recounts how BP's Player Forecast Manager matched up against 12 wily rivals at the recent NL LABR experts fantasy baseball draft.
Hosted by Sports Weekly's John Hunt, the League of Alternative Baseball Reality brings together some of the brightest and nicest guys in the fantasy baseball biz. It also includes several "regular guys," as LABR calls them--home league heroes invited to join the table, all smart as a whip, many of whom could recite more words from the latest edition of BP than I can. Baseball Prospectus has been a more recent invitee to the dance; it took six months of counseling before we could accept the concept of wins and RBI not being abominations on the world of baseball statistics. Since then, it's been a fun annual experience.
This would be my second LABR experience. Heading into last year's draft, I planned to follow much the same strategy I did in the 2003 Tout Wars National League draft: use the PECOTA Player Forecast Manager as a guide, and look for value picks where bidding stopped several dollars short of the PFM's predicted dollar value. The strategy worked better in 2003--when Nate Silver, Will Carroll and I teamed to finish second--than it did in '04--when I finished a decent but uninspiring fifth out of 13 teams. The difference lay mostly in execution: while the plan was the same both years, the in-draft dynamics fell in such a way that 2003 offered more bargains and fewer misses than my 2004 LABR team. (I also did a better job of landing quality free agents off the wire in '03, bolstering the roster throughout the year).

Tiger boys golf began last Thursday with the the combined scramble team finishing fifth overall at the Pine City Boys Scramble.
The team of Dylan Fessenden, Alex Enns, and Nick Schmidt shot a team score of 81. The team of Sam Gilbert, Brandon Henrichs, and Eddie Johnson shot a team score of 96.
"We went up to Pine City with a very inexperienced team," said Coach Jeremy Albright. "I looked back in the van on the way up to the meet and five out of the six kids hadn't ever played varsity or JV. Three of them were brand new to golf, and two of them played in junior high last year. I thought considering it was the first meet for most of these kids they did okay. I told them I had two goals for them at the meet. One, have fun. And two, learn something. Hopefully they were able to accomplish those goals."
The Rush City boys and girls golf teams will compete in a meet at Moose Lake Golf Club at 4:15 p.m. April 23.

Fixing Swiss Potholes: The Importance of Improvements
The objective of this note is to document the importance of improvements relative to the other forms of capital spending and to determine whether improvements have similar cyclical properties as maintenance and repair. To shed some light on these issues, we look at a unique data set on Swiss road spending. The data on road spending are broken down into new roads, road improvements, and road maintenance and repair (hereafter road maintenance). The long-run evidence finds that road improvement is larger in size than road maintenance and exhibits similar dynamic properties as road maintenance. This result strengthens the view of McGratten and Schmitz (1999) that countercyclical spending of firms on maintenance (and on improvement) of existing capital is too large to be ignored.

Benefits of Study Abroad
When you study abroad your education grows exponentially faster than if you stay home. You live and learn in your host culture; every interaction is an opportunity to learn, and to share your culture with others. Your experience will translate into tangible benefits throughout your life:
- You will see historic monuments and famous art first-hand.
- You will experience an academic system of another country.
- You will experience the complexity of another culture, including another language or dialects.
- You will discover yourself and our world in new ways.
If you ask anybody who has studied abroad, most will tell you that it is a life-changing experience and one of the most rewarding things he or she has ever done. Are you still not certain what benefits you can reap from an extended stay in a foreign country?
Here are some excellent reasons why you
should go where you want to be!
Start making the most out of your everyday and become a full-time learner.
Traveling outside the United States will be an education in itself. There's no need to limit yourself to a classroom; while studying abroad you will be able to become a 24/7 student, from the student lounge to the city streets. Study abroad for a few weeks or a year; don't let time constraints hold you back, just work around them. Many students who go abroad report that, in addition to enjoying and learning in their weekly classes, they learned some of the most valuable lessons outside of the classroom. Weekend excursions to museums and cultural sites add to your academic and personal growth. While in a foreign country, even mundane activities like shopping for groceries become an educational adventure.
Become fluent in another language.
For those of us who have toiled at learning another language, we know the way to truly become fluent in a language is to be immersed in it. If you've studied a language for several years and wish to gain fluency in that language, studying abroad is a vital way to make that wish come true. Even if you haven't studied languages at all, many programs don't require any previous foreign language. They also offer intensive language courses alongside English classes, or as the core purpose of the study abroad program.
Learning a foreign language will make you more attractive to future employers, improve your communication skills, and give you a first-hand insight into local culture. As well-known among sociolinguistics, grasping another language will help you appreciate literature, music and film in that language, and better understand the culture in which you live.
Improve your academic, professional and financial potential.
International experience is a critical and impressive part of any resume. In addition to the personal growth you'll undergo while overseas, the international and cross-cultural interpersonal skills you'll develop will certainly expand your employment opportunities and, consequently, your income potential in our increasingly globalized society. Globally-minded employees are in high demand. Many companies seek out individuals with multi-lingual and multi-cultural experience and skills.
What is more, while studying abroad, students can also take advantage of internships for an international work experience that is highly valued among U.S. employers. Your newly acquired skills will strengthen your resume in America's increasingly ethnically and culturally diverse workforce. Furthermore, students typically make great gains in personal confidence and gain valuable insights into their own culture.
Take control of your future by exposing yourself to new paths.
During your time abroad, you will be exposed to countless different experiences that will influence the rest of your life. Some students even end up changing their major or career path as a result of the new things they learn from being abroad. Others discover a newfound passion for travel, decide they want to work abroad, or desire to learn a new language. After studying abroad, you may find your travels have had a profound influence on your career or personal goals.
Gain a competitive edge for graduate school.
If you wish to continue with your higher education into either a masters or a doctorate, study abroad experience will give you an edge on the competition. Graduate programs, law schools, and medical schools all look favorably on such global experience. You never know who may be impressed by your travels.
Acceptance into graduate school is competitive. When you study abroad, you gain many skills which will appeal to graduate school admissions committees, such as:
- You will be prepared to adapt to unfamiliar environments.
- You will be able to learn from different teaching styles.
- You will be able to effectively communicate among diverse groups.
- You will have a willingness to challenge yourself and your comfort zones.
- You will attain knowledge of a foreign language.
Fight stereotypes by educating others about what you represent.
There is a distinct challenge everyone faces abroad. Many other cultures only have experience with different ethnic groups through the American media (e.g. news, sports, music, and movies). Students may become frustrated when the same stereotypes from home follow them overseas. However, study abroad is a unique opportunity to educate others about who you are as an individual and as a group: you can communicate your own experiences in the United States in comparison to what others see and hear. This is your chance to be an individual, as well as a representative of your culture, and to encourage positive understanding of global diversity.
Dispel your own stereotypes.
In addition to serving as a cultural ambassador to dispel other's misconceptions, studying abroad gives you a chance to break down some of your own stereotypes about other countries and peoples. Not only will you have the chance to immerse yourself in another culture, you will also meet people from different backgrounds and make personal connections with people that you may have never expected. Learn to interact with people who may not necessarily think or communicate like you.
Gain perspective by broadening your world experience.
There are countless amazing sites around the world: experience different natural landscapes and climates that do not exist in the United States, and see historical landmarks in countries that have shaped world history. Expand your knowledge of the world by actually getting out there, seeing it, and touching it; pictures in text books do not do justice to standing under the Eiffel Tower or on the Great Wall of China. Is there a place or landmark you have always wanted to see? Do it! Studying and living in a different culture will help you see the world from a completely different perspective; it is an amazing experience that will change your life.
See your own country and customs through new eyes.
Growing up and residing in one country tends to give us a limited view of our world. Traveling outside the country will show you how the United States affects and fits into global society, and how you as an individual fit into this world. From the vantage point of someone else's culture, you can truly see your own, and by being exposed to so many diverse traditions you will better understand the significance of them.
Explore your family roots.
Getting in touch with your family's heritage can be another strong motivation to study abroad. Many students report tremendous educational and personal benefits from exploring countries where their families have roots. Studying abroad can provide you with that opportunity to learn about your own ethnicity and explore your identity. Whether your family recently emigrated to the U.S. or has lived here for decades, or whether you are discovering your family's culture for the first time or interested in learning more, study abroad can help you put together the puzzle of your family's past and your present.
Improve your network through new friends and acquaintances.
The relationships formed while studying abroad might become some of the deepest friendships you will ever develop. You will have the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds and cultures, and some of these people may even become life-long friends. Study abroad returnees often report meeting others with whom they expected to have no common ground and then discovered that, despite being from different parts of the globe, they have much in common and much to learn from one another. These relationships, insights, and outlooks are a critical part of the study abroad experience. You'll network with fellow students, teachers, host families and professionals, often leading to many great opportunities.

ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND Announce On-Sale Info for Final Performances
The ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND have announced the on-sale information for the final shows for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame group that formed in 1969. Tickets for their October 27 and 28 performances at New York City's Beacon Theatre will go on sale to the public Friday, July 11 at 10:00 AM Eastern. These final ABB performances bring the band full circle back to the Beacon, a venue the band has played exactly 232 times since their annual tradition began there in 1989.
This comes after the news that the band rescheduled dates for four shows at the Beacon Theatre that were postponed in March: Tuesday, 10/21, Wednesday 10/22, Friday, 10/24 and Saturday, 10/25. Tickets purchased for those sold-out shows (originally set for 3/25, 26, 28 & 29) will be honored on these dates for the corresponding days (see itinerary below). Fans unable to attend the rescheduled shows can return tickets for a refund at the point of purchase prior to August 1.
As part of the 45th anniversary celebration, the band recently released a new DVD 40, filmed at the Beacon on their 40th anniversary, where they performed their first two albums The Allman Brothers Band and Idlewild South in their entirety. Their monumental breakthrough live album At Filmore East (cited by Rolling Stone on their list of 25 Best Live Albums) will be celebrated by Universal Records with the July 29 release of a six-CD set.
The current lineup of the band--founding members GREGG ALLMAN (vocals and keyboards), BUTCH TRUCKS (drums and tympani) and JAIMOE (drums) plus longtime members WARREN HAYNES (vocals, lead and slide guitar), DEREK TRUCKS (slide and lead guitar), OTEIL BURBRIDGE (bass) and MARC QUINONES (congas and percussion)--is, at 14 years, substantially longer than any other version of the band.
Meanwhile, the band is gearing up for two nights of concerts as part of their very own PEACH FESTIVAL, August 14-17 in Northeast Pennsylvania. In its third year, PEACH FEST 2014 will feature artists including the ABB on two nights, Gov't Mule, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Jaimoe's Jasssz Band, Bob Weir & Ratdog, Trey Anastasio Band, Lotus, Big Gigantic, the Taj Mahal Trio, Blackberry Smoke, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, the London Souls and more. The ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND will close the Lockn' Festival in Arrington, VA on Sunday, September 7.

Plymouth –– An ancient strain of trees that miraculously survived the devastation of the Hiroshima, Japan, nuclear blast now symbolizes the creation of Plymouth State University's Peace Garden. A seven-foot high Ginkgo biloba tree was planted April 27 by PSU President Sara Jayne Steen and a group of children from PSU's Center for Young Children and Families . The Gingko Biloba tree, according to President Steen, is an centuries –old strain that represents hope and peace.
"The idea of a tree that has lasted for thousands of years and managed to survive the bombing of Hiroshima is a powerful one," said Steen. "In Japan, trees like this represent hope; they demonstrate survival and hope for peace."
The idea of a Peace Garden at Plymouth State was developed by Leo Sandy, Professor of Counselor Education and School Psychology and a member of the Peace and Social Justice Council. Sandy believes the tree is a tangible expression of peace.
"Symbols are very important things to have because they give people consciousness that turns into action," said Sandy. "We wanted to have a symbol on campus that expresses peace and justice, so this is a good start."
The Peace Garden is located east of Hyde Hall, adjacent to the PSU Counseling Center. The Ginkgo biloba will grow to a height of 15 feet.
"This tree is going to do great here," said Sherri Covell, PSU's gardener. "It will thrive in a wide variety of conditions, including cold and heat."
In addition to its centerpiece presence in the Peace Garden, the Gingko Biloba tree planting continues PSU's 16-year tradition of Arbor Day plantings and the institution's commitment to environmental sustainability.

Veteran enriched lives with singing, civic service
Clairton baritone Bill Nanni bristled when a roomful of soldiers turned their attention to Ol' Blue Eyes, who sauntered in to the base lounge at St. John's, Newfoundland, during World War II.
"My dad got upset because everyone ignored him for Frank Sinatra," said Georgiana Riley of Avella.
William E. Nanni of Clairton died on Wednesday, April 24, 2013, in ManorCare Health Services in Whitehall. He was 88.
The lifelong singer performed until the end, his daughter said.
"He sang at the nursing home last Saturday, to tell you the truth," Riley said. "The women there loved to hear him sing."
His number that day was "Vesta la giubba" from the Italian opera, "Pagliacci."
Mr. Nanni was best known, however, for his rendition of "Ol' Man River," from the musical, "Show Boat."
"It was just perfect for his voice," Riley said.
Ralph Russo, Mr. Nanni's nephew and owner of Russo's Hardware in Clairton, said his uncle's voice is something he will always remember.
"It was one of the best I ever heard," Russo said.
Mr. Nanni was born in Clairton in 1925 to Joseph and Angelina Galati Nanni. He retired as a welder from Hercules Co., now Eastman, in West Elizabeth.
He served in the Army during World War II as a private first class and was a member of St. Clare of Assisi Parish in Clairton.
During wartime and back home, Mr. Nanni sang as often as he could — entertaining soldiers on R&R from Europe and later as a fixture at weddings and funerals, Riley said.
Mr. Nanni joined the Clairton Lions Club in 1953 and went on to serve as chapter president. He was the oldest and longest-serving member.
Wayne Madden, president of The International Association of Lions Clubs, mailed Mr. Nanni a letter last week congratulating him for his 60 years of service.
"He just really believed in their mission and worked hard for them," Riley said.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Ann D'Emidio Nanni.
In addition to Riley, Nanni is survived by sons William E. Nanni Jr. of Houston; Camille Nanni of Franklin Park; Lee Nanni of Clairton; Raymond Nanni of Los Alamos, N.M.; Gerard Nanni of Arlington, Texas, and Philip Nanni of Poughkeepsie, N.Y.; 12 grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
Visitation will be from noon to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday in A.J. Bekavac Funeral Home, 555 Fifth St., Clairton.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Monday in St. Clare of Assisi Parish with burial to follow in Jefferson Memorial Park, Pleasant Hills.

CRIME is down in Gloucestershire for the eighth year in a row.
Figures released today show that crime fell in the county by four per cent – or 1,442 crimes - between April 1 2011 and March 31 2012.
The biggest reduction was seen in the theft of motor vehicle category, which reduced by 32 per cent.
There were also reductions in robbery and non domestic burglary, which were both down by 19 per cent.
Violence against the person and criminal damage were also down by nine per cent.
Assistant Chief Constable Sally Crook, Chairman of the Gloucestershire Stronger Safer Justice Commission, said the reductions were the result of hard work by many people across the county.
He said: "These figures are testament to the work being carried out by many agencies and individuals across Gloucestershire, as well as communities throughout the county.
"This continued reduction in crime is even more remarkable given the economic measures all public services are grappling with and the inevitable reductions in resources.
"These are not just statistics. These figures mean there were 1,442 less crimes in the county between 2011 and 2012, and that translates into at least 1,442 fewer victims.
"However, one crime is one too many and we must not forget there were still thousands of crime victims in Gloucestershire during the 12 month period.
"Working together we will aim to build on these figures to continue making the county safer in the coming year."
Assistant Chief Constable Richard Berry, of Gloucestershire Constabulary, added: "We are proud of these latest figures. It's no secret that the force has had one of its most challenging periods for many years, with the loss of officers, police stations and staff.
"We are looking to continually improve our investigative and administrative procedures in the coming year in order to build upon these results."
The full crime figures for the county are shown here: Crime Category Crime 2011/12 Crime 2010/11 Percentage Change Violence Against the Person 5725 6276 -8.8% Sexual Offences 516 531 -2.8% Robbery 252 310 -18.7% Domestic Burglary 3017 2644 14.1% Non-Domestic Burglary 2726 3346 -18.5% Theft Of Motor Vehicles 617 911 -32.3% Theft From Motor Vehicles 3128 2800 11.7% Other Theft and Handling 9808 9756 0.5% Fraud and Forgery 972 1014 -4.1% Criminal Damage 5855 6409 -8.6% Drugs Offences 1526 1493 2.2% Other Offences 460 554 -17.0% TOTAL CRIME 34602 36044 -4.0% Overall crime has fallen in every category, other than domestic burglary, theft from motor vehicles, theft and handling and drugs offences.
An increase in drugs offences is always expected, due to the fact that drugs offences are almost always detected as a direct result of police investigations. This means any increase indicates improved police investigative techniques.
Domestic burglary and theft from motor vehicle have been, and continue to be, the focus of much police attention. For example, as a result of specific operations and work by Local Policing Teams, we made 512 arrests for domestic burglary and 218 for theft of and from motor vehicles during the year.
Broken down by Local Policing Area, the crime figures are as follows: Area 2011/12 2010/11 Percentage change Cheltenham 9600 10186 -5.8% Gloucester 10993 10888 1% Stroud 4684 5051 -7.3% Tewkesbury 3114 3244 -4% Forest 2846 2992 -4.9% Cotswolds 3363 3676 -8.5%

A new study from the Department of Environment and Conservation suggests long-term modern fire regimes could pose a threat to WA mistletoes (Loranthaceae sp).
Single fires ignited by lightning, arson or by prescribed burning often destroy thousands of hectares in the region. This scale of damage poses a problem for mistletoe species because of their physical vulnerability and regeneration methods.
Across species, mistletoe foliage and fresh seed are killed when scorched.
As none have a mechanism of long-term in situ seed storage and limited capacity for long-distance seed dispersal, they are highly dependent on seed being imported and deposited in burnt areas by avian populations.
Given the increasingly vast range of fire damage, regeneration is at risk.
According to study author Dr. A.N. Start, when pastoralists settled the area little more than a century ago, radical changes were imposed on land tenure...
Former fire regimes were abandoned and fire was used for novel purposes, including the manipulation of pastures.
Anthropogenic fire is still common across northern and central Australia where the trend has been to hotter and more extensive burns.
Dr. Start notes that concern about the environmental effects of long-term, modern fire regimes has been present since the 1980s and mistletoes appear to be one group adversely affected.
Mistletoe varieties comprise a key component of Pilbara biodiversity, with many insects dependant on them for larval food, including butterfly genera Ogyris (Lycenidae) and Delias (Pieridae).
Mistletoe also support the highly adapted mistletoebird (Dicaeum hiundinaceum) as well as spiny-cheeked and grey honeyeaters, important pollinators within the region.
Though theres no evidence of an extinction threat at the bioregional or national level, there has been subregional contraction, especially where modern fire regimes for highly flammable hummock grasslands exist.
The outlook is bleak for mistletoes growing in areas dominated by hummock grasslands, Dr. Start says.
Subregional extinction is likely and there are broader implications for biodiversity.
The study found that mistletoe have adapted to fire risk in various and imperfect ways.
Twelve taxa reduce risk by favoring hosts that grow in fire-sheltered sites. However, when host stems are killed, the length of host reestablishment often appears prohibitive to mistletoe regeneration.
Two species have very low host specificity, which increases the likelihood that imported seed can be deposited on suitable hosts, allowing for faster regeneration following fire.
However, these species are located in hummock grasslands, bringing the issues of fire frequency and seed replacement distances into play.

So, last week we talked a bit about the tools used for program destruction. This week, I figured we should talk about how to really put those tools to work. Or avoid being utterly destroyed by those tools.
So, without much ado, let's get started.
Surviving (Runner)
There are quite a few ways to survive program destruction as a Runner. So let's get the easy things out of the way first, that being the "hard" counter and the hard counter.
1. Redundant Breakers: If you run enough breakers for every type of ICE, destroying enough of them to lock you out of servers is going to be difficult. Decks that only run 2 of each breaker type (or, God forbid, one of a specific breaker) and no Crypsis/Worm are the ones most vulnerable to program destruction. Without redundant options, two bad runs is sufficient to get you locked out. Even one bad run could be bad news, as, with only one other option in the deck, you'll be forced to dig for it, which, depending on your deck, could lose you quite a bit of time.
Three of any given breaker is pretty rough for even dedicated program destruction to chew through, but a Crypsis (or Wyrm, I guess) or three is even worse. While it can be hard to rely on the omnibreakers to bear the brunt of the work due to the extra costs involved, even the most brutal program destruction deck is going to have trouble trashing 4-5 breakers of the "same" type.
2. Sacrificial Construct: Yeah. This card is good against program destruction. Really good. Pretty limited against anything else. Redundant breakers are prolly still a better option.
Great for stopping program destruction. And, uh… Power Grid Overload?
There you go. Deck building wise, those are your two main tools for combating program destruction. Playwise, you've got a few more options, though.
First and foremost, go read Icebreakers are for Chumps if you haven't already. That advice remains pretty applicable. Without programs in play, program destruction isn't really that powerful.
Who would have guessed?
That said, once you do get a breaker down, you need to be wary about running unrezzed ICE. All three ICE that can trash programs (as well as Sherlock, which can pitch them back to your deck – slightly less devastating, but still kind of irritating), are sentries. So, as long as you've got credits and a sentry breaker, you don't have too much to fear. You can theoretically punch through Ichi with clicks, so, if you're willing to risk it, make sure you have 2 clicks left when running.
Once ICE are visible, they're a lot less scary, since, most of the time, the math is sitting there on the table and it will take a pretty critical error on your part to lose a program at that point. Of course, you do still need to watch it if there are unadvanced cards in the server. Corporate Troubleshooter is a dangerous card and, while it isn't popular at the moment, Experiental Data does exist and can mess up very tight math. Honestly, Corporate Troubleshooter is big part of what makes this kind of deck work. A revealed Rototurret, Ichi, or Archer aren't going to kill any programs normally. Corporate Troubleshooter changes that. Keep track of them, and try to get cards exposed when you can so you know if you're safe.
Still a Runner's worst enemy. And a ridiculously snazzy dresser.
Speaking of exposed cards: Aggressive Secretary. Aggressive Secretary is pretty backbreaking, since you can't really do anything about it outside of run Sacrificial Construct or not run it. And not running it is dangerous because, well, scored agendas are rough. Unfortunately, most factions now have agendas that they can reasonably float for a turn or two (Project Atlas, Braintrust, and, technically, Mandatory Upgrades), making predictions a lot harder. Your best recourse is to scout advanced cards with some sort of expose effect or, in a pinch, run the corp out of resources with Account Siphon/Vamp. The Secretary still requires 2 credits, allowing you to shut her off in some circumstances and run freely.
Aside from all that? Basics of the game are pretty important in these circumstances. Know how much cards cost. Know their influence so you can eliminate possibilities. Know how much it'll cost to break them. If you forget it is going to cost you at least 8 to not lose a program to Archer, then the fault is all on you. Due to the hidden information, Netunner is definitely a game where you really need to know possibilities, and if you don't do your homework, don't be surprised if your brain fries.
Thriving (Corporation)
The key to making a deck built around program destruction is mass. Breaking one program is annoying, but it isn't really that great. It might slow the runner down a bit, it might not. You need to destroy multiple breakers, and you need to completely lock them out of at least one type of ICE. In addition, the windows in which you can easily break a runner's programs is fairly narrow, so you need to optimize your chances of having it available in those windows. You NEED to punish the runner every single time they take a chance.
You should run every piece of destruction possible (Rototurret, Ichi, Archer, and Aggressive Secretary) as well as Corporate Troubleshooter to optimize your chances and the frequency with which you can be successful.
Damage (net, brain, and meat) is a serious ally to program destruction and should be considered. If you can force a breaker out of their hand with, say, an early Neural Katana, they are in a very bad spot. Furthermore, Neural Katana/Rototurret sets up a fairly nasty earlygame where the runner is damned if they do, damned if they don't. Do they play the breaker in their hand and run, risking the turret, or do they hold it and risk the katana? If neither, well, you've got more time. Even midgame, the Runner will be forced to hold breakers, allowing bursts of damage to pick them off.
A turret is nice. A sword is nice. Why not bring both?
Corporate Troubleshooter is your friend. Do not waste it. If you can kill a program with it, do it. Get it installed quickly and use it! Furthermore, keep the runner guessing. Provide facedown installations for the runner to fear. You don't need to destroy programs to win. If you can cow the runner long enough to sneak out agendas, then it is as good as trashing every single program they have.
Speaking of agendas, though. Don't be afraid to take advantage of possible gaps in the runner's rig to score agendas. If you've got a remote with a Rototurret at the end and you just trashed their Ninja, take the shot. Get an agenda down and advance it out before they draw a new one. Unless them stealing the agenda would cost you the game, don't wait to eat all of their breakers. You don't know how far down the next breaker is, so press your suit.
Aggressive Secretary. Aggressive, like all traps, is tough to play and learning to do it right comes with experience. I really should write a whole article on traps. The best I can tell is learn to play them right. A successful Secretary is devastating, especially if you manage it at three advancement. I will say that I've had some solid luck with it in HB. The threat of Mandatory Upgrades allows for the fairly nasty play of install, double advance, then single advance next turn, setting up for a triple advance on the last turn and a score.
A final note on the corporate side. Take care with installing your ICE. Removing all of a corporation's, say, sentry breakers isn't worth a lick if you can't stop them on your critical servers. Even if they don't have breakers, if your ICE doesn't end the run, they can still get in.

1. Give a gift, but keep it simple
You don't need spend a lot to make a big impression. Bring something small (the more personalized, the better), like a specialty from your hometown. When you depart, leave a handwritten note, a picture, a photo—anything created during your trip.
2. Share schedules
You may be on vacation, but most hosts are in their day-to-day routine. They still have to get to work, feed the family, and run errands. Ask about their schedule so you don't accidentally step on any toes, and let them know if you have any important time constraints as well.
3. Stay in contact
One of the most common problems we hear from hosts is lack of communication from guests at key moments. When staying in a home, there's no 24-hour check-in desk. Everyone understands that travel can be a bit unpredictable, but a quick email or phone call can help the host prepare for a change of plans (or rustle up a last-minute supper!)
4. Be a host to your host
If you have a talent, offer your services to reflect the favor back onto your host: Cook a meal, play a song, teach a skill. Host your host and, if you didn't already know him or her personally, you might just come away with a lifelong friend.
5. Set yourself up for success
A perfect space doesn't always have a perfectly compatible host. If you don't know your host on a very personal level, be sure to ask questions not just about the amenities but also the experience of staying with him or her, and set your expectations appropriately. Remember: It's not your permanent space, and the best trait of any guest is gratitude.

Safari Wild ordered to pay $8,863 fine
Safari Wild, the Polk County exotic animal park owned by former Lowry Park Zoo president Lex Salisbury, will have to pay a $8,863 fine for unauthorized construction. The Southwest Florida Water Management District initially proposed a fine five times as high for excavation, dredging and filling in areas without permits, but agreed that much of the land was being used for agricultural purposes and did not need permits. The fines are for the rest. Swiftmud told officials they have 10 days to pay.
Appeals court names chief judge
Judge Darryl C. Casanueva will become chief judge of the 2nd District Court of Appeal on July 1. The Tampa native and University of South Florida graduate was unanimously named to the two-year post by his colleagues. Casanueva, 57, has been a member of the appeals court since 1998, hearing cases from a 14-county district that includes Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties. In addition, Hillsborough Circuit Judge Anthony K. Black and Pinellas-Pasco Chief Judge Robert Morris have been are among six finalists for a seat on the appellate court. The district's Judicial Nominating Commission also listed four other finalists: lawyer Arthur S. Hardy of Sarasota; Circuit Judge Donald G. Jacobsen of Polk County; Circuit Judge Ellen Sly Masters of Polk County; and Circuit Judge Jay B. Rosman of Lee County.
Tarpon springs
Man charged with video voyeurism
Police have arrested a 42-year-old man accused of photographing a 5-year-old girl underneath her clothing. Christopher T. Hooey of Holiday was booked into the Pinellas County Jail Wednesday on charges of video voyeurism and tampering with physical evidence after police responded to a complaint at Dog Lovers, 39188 U.S. 19 N. Police said Hooey tried to destroy the memory card by biting it in half and dumping it.
White powder sent to judge by inmate
The suspicious white powder that prompted an evacuation of a Tampa courthouse Monday was sent by an inmate in a threatening letter to a judge, Hillsborough sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter said. She would not identify the inmate or the judge, or provide details about the letter. Authorities do not yet know what the powder was, but preliminary tests have indicated that it contained "no harmful agents," Carter said.
New Port Richey
Woman sentenced for posing as nurse
Sandra Wilbanks taught medical courses at Pasco-Hernando Community College for 18 years before anyone noticed her nursing license was a forgery. Once that came to light last spring, an investigation began, Wilbanks abruptly retired and was arrested. Earlier this month, the 60-year-old Shady Hills woman pleaded guilty to a felony charge of forgery, a lesser crime than she originally faced. She received 18 months of probation and had adjudication of guilt withheld.

Nicotine gumPronunciation
Generic Name: nicotine (NIK-oh-teen)
Brand Name: Nicorette
Nicotine gum is used for:
Helping you to quit smoking.
Nicotine gum is a smoking deterrent. It works by providing low levels of nicotine, which may help you to quit smoking by lessening the physical signs of withdrawal symptoms.
Do NOT use nicotine gum if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in nicotine gum
- you have had a recent heart attack
- you have severe or worsening chest pain or a severely irregular heartbeat
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using nicotine gum:
Some medical conditions may interact with nicotine gum. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have chest pain (eg, angina), heart problems (eg, coronary artery disease, irregular heartbeat), a history of heart attack, high blood pressure, an overactive thyroid, an ulcer, a tumor on your adrenal gland (pheochromocytoma), diabetes, a jaw problem (temporomandibular joint disorder [TMJ]), or blood vessel problems (eg, Buerger disease, Raynaud phenomena)
- you continue to smoke, chew tobacco, use snuff, or use any other nicotine-containing products
- if you take medicine for asthma or depression, or if you are using another medicine to stop smoking
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with nicotine gum. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Acetaminophen, adrenergic antagonists (eg, prazosin), asthma medicines (eg, theophylline), beta-blockers (eg, labetalol, propranolol), caffeine, insulin, oxazepam, pentazocine, or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, imipramine) because the risk of their side effects may be increased when you stop smoking
- Adrenergic agonists (eg, isoproterenol, phenylephrine) because their effectiveness may be decreased when you stop smoking
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if nicotine gum may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use nicotine gum:
Use nicotine gum as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Do not eat or drink for 15 minutes before using nicotine gum or while chewing a piece of nicotine gum.
- Do not swallow the gum.
- Carry this gum with you at all times. Whenever you have the urge to smoke, chew 1 piece of gum. Chew the gum slowly. Bite 1 or 2 times until the gum tingles, then keep it between your cheek and gum. Wait until the tingle is gone and then repeat by chewing until the tingle returns and placing it between your cheek and gum. Continue until you cannot feel the tingle anymore (about 30 minutes).
- Continue using the gum until your urge to smoke fades or until 1 to 2 pieces of gum per day satisfies your craving.
- To improve your chances of quitting smoking, use at least 9 pieces of gum per day for the first 6 weeks unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
- If you miss a dose of nicotine gum, use it as soon as you remember. Continue to use it as directed by your doctor or on the package label.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use nicotine gum.
Important safety information:
- Nicotine gum may cause dizziness, light-headedness, or blurred vision. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use nicotine gum with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take nicotine gum before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- This gum may stick to dental work and damage it. If this occurs, stop using the gum and contact your dentist.
- Dispose of used pieces by wrapping and placing in the trash out of the reach of children and away from pets.
- Do NOT use nicotine gum for longer than 12 weeks. If you still feel the need to use nicotine gum after 12 weeks, check with your doctor.
- Do not smoke or use tobacco products while you are using nicotine gum.
- Do not chew more than 24 pieces of gum a day unless advised to do so by your doctor.
- Nicotine gum should be used as part of a larger program to help you stop smoking. If you need help choosing a program, talk with your health care provider.
- Use nicotine gum with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.
- Nicotine gum should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.

Photo Courtesy of KOP PropertiesOpting for a luxury apartment in an urban city is basically the only way to go, yet, this also poses the inevitable problem of parking. However, if you choose to reside in one of the 56 units at Hamilton Scotts in downtown Singapore, you can rest easy as each unit comes with at least two parking spaces located not in the complex parking garage, but rather, attached to the residents' living room.
This isnt the only complex fitted with a sky garage, as New Yorks 200 Eleventh Avenue features a fortress-like garage adjacent to their units and the proposed Porsche Design Tower in Sunny Isles Beach, Fla. is following the same design concept. Hey, if you have enough to cash-in for one of these über luxurious units, you probably have a car that is worthy of living room display, right?

Man sues Harmony police, claims he was falsely arrested
A former Beaver County resident claims in a federal lawsuit filed Monday that Harmony police arrested him twice without cause, costing him his job.
Tyrone Anthony Lett, 43, of Cecil says in the lawsuit that he was held in jail for 34 days. He first was arrested on assault charges that a district judge dismissed a week later, but police kept him in jail on an expired warrant out of California.
He is suing the township and officers James Essek and Jason Vular. A township spokeswoman couldn't be reached for comment.

Fire Gary Kelly! This guy is a CPA by trade. He obviously has ZERO skills with dealing with the public!
I have flown Southwest for over thirty years and have never experianced such crooked actions by Southwest. Were is HERB when this demon is cheatting his old customers and loyal flyers?
Prices have gone up, flight prices now vary dependant on the time of day and TRY and use a Rapid Rewards ticket after you have earned 16 paid flight!
My wife and I have purchased two (2) flights because we had made family plans already but couldn't get free flights using our RR free tickets. We spent over two weeks trying but the SEATS allocated were gone or the flight times were so bad that we had to pass.
Enjoying an EARNED free ticket is not fun when you have to be up at 4:00 Am to make a 6:00 Am flight and or take flights that are the worst of the time slots with long layover and numerous connections and change of planes! Gary, I have a heart condition and I have spent my life flying SWA and this is a filthy way to say thanks!!!!
The reservationist actually told my wife that "Paying Customers were more important" thus they got priority reservations. Herb and SWA Board of Directors FIRE Gary Kelly unless you approve of his GREEDY and MANIPULATING actions that have both your customers and employee's mad at SWA!
GARY KELLY your greedy mind has destroyed the goodwill and name that HERB spent a lifetime building!
I will continue to do let people know how SWA is cheating and manipulating its passengers by mail and word of mouth. I encourage every SWA passenger to post their feelings, talk about SWA to one another and maybe we can get this jerk GARY KELLY fired and SWA will hire someone with human decency to rebuild the airlien!!!

Digital Realty Trust has been a pioneer in building data centers faster and cheaper through the "industrialization" of data center design. The company, which operates 13 million square feet of data center space, has been able to reduce costs and streamline construction using standard components and repeatable design concepts and leveraging its buying power with suppliers.
Digital Realty (DLR) will soon be packaging its expertise in a new data center design and construction service for enterprise clients. As it enters the professional services business, Digital Realty will compete against tech titans like IBM and HP as well as data center design/build specialists.
"We're moving toward a plug-and-play data center with components assembled on-site," said Chris Crosby, senior vice president of Digital Realty. "The data center will basically be a product. We truly believe the data center is a commodity."
The new service has not been announced yet, but Crosby outlined Digital Realty's approach last week in a presentation at the Tier1 Datacenter Transformation Summit. The new service will be spearheaded by Michael Manos, who arrives at Digital Realty this week from Microsoft, where he ran the company's data center operations(Mike blogged about his new position this morning) .
"The data center industry is at an inflection point," Crosby said. "Spending tens of millions of dollars building data centers doesn't work in the current corporate environment. Most large enterprises have figured out that building data centers is not their secret sauce."
Not so for Digital Realty, which has refined its development process building more than 1.2 million square feet of space for its Turn-Key Datacenter program, which delivers finished raised-floor technical space for clients including Facebook, Savvis, IBM, EDS, CSC and Yahoo.
In the Turn-Key program, Digital shoulders the expense of building the data center environment but is able to charge premium rents for the finished space. Customers avoid the capital expense of building the facility themselves, and can be up and running much more quickly than if they built it themselves, a process that takes most enterprises 1 to 2 years. Digital Realty's construction process takes 20 weeks in the U.S. and 26 to 28 weeks in Europe, Crosby said.
"We're working with a couple clients now where we're providing consulting and development project management," said Digital Realty CEO Michael Foust. "You'll see us doing more of that in the future."
Crosby said Digital Realty's design approach is evolving to what he calls "Industrialization 2.0" combining standard and custom components. "We're now getting a lot closer to this being like going to McDonald's to order a hamburger," he said. "It's going to get as close to made-to-order as possible. Almost none of this has to do with technology. It's all about process engineering."
The process will use computer models to design the facility, and off-site construction of components in pre-fab modules that can be assembled later on site. "You start to get to the point where you allow these pieces to be connected together, as opposed to constructed," he said. The process will be defined by power requirements, he said, with applications and resources grouped by the power density they require.
The key is combining standarization and the ability to customize elements of the process. "We basically have Legos right now," said Crosby, who said data center design can evolve along the same path as Legos, which began life as simple box-like shapes but now come in custom kits that allow enthusiasts to create the Millennium Falcon.
"It doesn't look like a box anymore. But it's still Legos," he said. "We're going for a better box of Legos."

Eunyce Kim Model
JW Fashion PhotographyPhotographer Male Princeton, New Jersey, US
Mayhem # 3026994
About MeI'm a photographer in the Princeton area who is interested in collaborating with local models who are creative and can do their own hair, makeup and wardrobe. I'm currently trying to expand my portfolio to include more location work and environmental portraits - work on posing, dramatic looks, lighting techniques, and conceptualization.
Best fit would be someone with some modeling experience who is interested in improving their portfolio and willing to work TFCD. Also looking for pros with reasonable rates who are trying to improve an already strong portfolio.
I am very easy going, respectful, and open to creative collaboration. Interested more in classic glamor, beauty and fashion photography. I'm not particularly interested in nudes or boudoir.
Models who wish to bring escorts or friends who are capable of holding a reflector card or booming a light are more than welcome.
Worked with following Mayem members:
MM #2099408 - Heather Dorian
MM #2025793 - Lilith Bear
