Letter: Too late for Weinstein to change his tune now
Too late for Weinstein to change his tune now
There is something especially irritating about politicians who routinely and abruptly abandon their previously stated positions near re-election time. A stark case in point is Barry Weinstein's newly found opposition to the mindless spread of commercial development in Amherst. His moment of enlightenment took place when a sizable group of neighbors not only opposed the construction of a high-rise hotel in their quiet, rustic neighborhood, but also asked who approved the building variances necessary for this project. The decision was made behind closed doors by people solely appointed by Weinstein. Yet now, as he faces re-election, he expects us to believe that he had no idea this project was being considered, and that he now thinks it is a bad idea.
His recent opposition to unbridled Amherst development strains credibility, given that he personally engaged in private negotiations to give away the Audubon golf course earlier this year. I expect he will return to his pro-development advocacy if he is returned to office in November.
Amherst residents have a golden opportunity on Tuesday. If you think the new hotel at Main and South Forest is site appropriate, that a six-story hotel in a residential neighborhood behind the Lord Amherst enhances our quality of life, or that the Audubon golf course and its adjacent woods, grassland and bike trail should be replaced with macadam, bricks and concrete, then Weinstein is your man.
Perhaps Mark Manna is just the man to help us spare some of our beautiful town from the bulldozers.

A man is in critical condition after he was shot by a North Miami Beach police officer inside a notorious Miami strip club Wednesday night.
Police say officers went to the Take One Lounge at 333 Northeast 79th St. Wednesday night after they received a tip that Carlus Dewayne McKaufman, a suspect in an aggravated battery, was inside.
But once the officers were inside the club, they encountered an armed man who wasn't the person they were looking for. Police say when the man refused to put his gun down, they were forced to open fire.
"After a short dialogue and the subject refusing to obey lawful police commands, our officer, fearing for his life, discharged his firearm," said North Miami Beach Police spokesman Det. Armando Sotero.
The unidentified man was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he's in critical condition.
A worker at the club, who didn't want her name used, said the man is a security guard at the club, but police haven't confirmed his identity.
Take One has a history of violence, including the shooting of former owner Robert Raley during a robbery as well as numerous other reported shootings.

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
- Archived: true
Monetary law of the participating Member States (transitional period)
This Regulation lays down the monetary law provisions of the Member States which have adopted the euro.
Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May 1998 on the introduction of the euro [See amending acts].
This Regulation provides for the substitution of the euro for the national currencies of the Member States * participating in the euro zone at the conversion rate * laid down. It clarifies the provisions applying to the Member States that will introduce the euro in the future and lists the Member States participating in the euro. This list may be extended when further Member States adopt the single currency.
The currency unit will be one euro, divided into one hundred cents. The euro will be the unit of account of the European Central Bank (ECB) and of the central banks of the participating Member States.
Transitional period
During the transitional period * the euro will be divided into national currency units * according to the conversion rates. Any subdivisions of the national currency units will be maintained. It will therefore be possible to use the single currency under its own name, but also in the denominations and units of the legacy national currencies, which will have become expressions of the euro.
During the transitional period, the monetary law of the participating Member States will continue to apply in so far as it is compatible with this Regulation (this essentially concerns the provisions on banknotes and coins).
During this period, where in a legal instrument * reference is made to a national currency unit, this reference will be as valid as if reference were made to the euro unit according to the conversion rates.
During the transitional period the substitution of the euro for the currency of each participating Member State will not in itself have the effect of altering the denomination of legal instruments in existence before the introduction of the euro.
During the transitional period the currency unit in which a legal instrument is denominated - irrespective of whether it is the euro unit or a national currency unit - must be respected: all acts to be performed under this instrument must be performed in the currency unit stipulated in the instrument.
However, the parties may agree to use another currency unit.
This provision does not prevent debtors, in cases where specific provision has not been made for non-cash payments, from settling debts denominated in the euro unit by paying with banknotes and coins denominated in the national currency unit which is legal tender at the place of the transaction.
During the transitional period any amount denominated either in the euro unit or in the national currency unit of a given participating Member State and payable within that Member State by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in euros or in the national currency unit of the Member State concerned.
A bank which receives a payment in euros must make the necessary conversion (according to the conversion rate) in order to credit an account denominated in the national currency unit (and vice versa).
During the transitional period the Member States may, under certain conditions, extend the use of the euro:
- to public or private outstanding debt;
- to markets for the regular exchange, clearing and settlement of payments.
During the transitional period the participating Member States may adopt other provisions imposing the use of the euro (e.g. for public-sector transactions) only in accordance with any time-frame laid down by Community legislation.
During the transitional period banknotes and coins denominated in a national currency unit will, within their territorial limits, retain the status as legal tender as of the day before the adoption of the euro * in that Member State.
The transitional period can be reduced to zero, in which case the euro adoption date and the cash changeover date fall on the same day ("big bang" scenario).
Phasing-out period
A phasing-out period can only apply to Member States in which the euro adoption date and the cash changeover date fall on the same day. If there is a phasing-out period in a Member State, legal instruments created during that period may refer to the national currency unit. These instruments must be performed in the Member State in which the phasing-out period applies. The references to the national currency unit must be read as references to the euro unit according to the respective conversion rates. The transitional period and the phasing-out period are mutually exclusive.
Introduction of euro notes and coins
With effect from the respective cash changeover date *, the ECB and the national central banks will put into circulation banknotes denominated in euros. These banknotes will be the only banknotes that will have the status of legal tender in all the participating Member States, unlike the national banknotes.
With effect from the respective cash changeover date, the participating Member States will issue coins denominated in euros or in cents and complying with the denominations and technical specifications that the Council may lay down in accordance with Article 106 of the Treaty. These coins will be the only coins which have the status of legal tender in all the Member States. No party will be obliged to accept more than fifty coins in any single payment, irrespective of the face value of the coins used.
Participating Member States will ensure adequate sanctions against counterfeiting and falsification of euro banknotes and coins.
With effect from the respective cash changeover date, the national currency units will cease to exist:
- References to national currency units in existing legal instruments should be read as references to the euro unit (according to the respective conversion rates).
- It will no longer be possible to use the legacy national currencies in drawing up contracts because such references would no longer be recognised by monetary law.
Banknotes and coins denominated in a national currency unit remain legal tender within their territorial limits until six months after the respective cash changeover date ("dual circulation period"); this period may be shortened by the Member States.
During the dual circulation period, credit institutions in the participating Member States which have adopted the euro after 1 January 2002 will exchange banknotes and coins denominated in the national currency unit of the Member State concerned for euro banknotes and coins free of charge. National legislation may impose certain ceilings in this connection.
Adapting the Regulation to the eurozone enlargements
The current Regulation has been amended on several occasions, in view of the enlargement of the euro area, notably by Regulation (EC) No 2596/2000 on the introduction of the euro in Greece as from 1 January 2001, Regulation (EC) No 1647/2006 on the introduction of the euro in Slovenia as from 1 January 2007 and Regulation (EC) No 835/2007 and No 836/2007 on the introduction of the euro in Cyprus and Malta respectively as from 1 January 2008.
Regulation (EC) No 2169/2005 was adopted to ensure clarity and safeguards in relation to the rules regarding the introduction of the euro in other Member States, for example, with a list of the participating Member States, which is susceptible of amendment upon other Member States adopting the euro.
Key terms used in the act
- Cash changeover date: the date on which euro banknotes and coins acquire the status of legal tender in a given participating Member State.
- Euro adoption date: either the date on which the respective Member State enters the third stage of EMU, launched on 1 January 1999, or the date on which the Member State's derogation is abrogated.
- Participating Member States: the Member States listed in the table in the Annex, viz. Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Slovenia. Cyprus and Malta will join the euro on 1 January 2008.
- Legal instruments: legislative and statutory provisions, acts of administration, judicial decisions, contracts, unilateral legal acts, payment instruments other than banknotes and coins, and other instruments with legal effect.
- National currency units: the units of the currencies of the participating Member States, as those units are defined on the day before the adoption of the euro in the Member State.
- Conversion rates: the conversion rates
- Transitional period: a period of three years at the most beginning at 00.00 hours on the euro adoption date and ending at 00.00 hours on the cash changeover date.

Zui Founders Unveil Team Group, Offering Startup Services and Funding
[Corrected 8/14/13, 11:45 am spelling of partner Tom Broadhead.] It wasn't long after San Diego Web entrepreneurs Cliff Boro and Tom Broadhead sold their kid-friendly Internet startup Zui (founded as KidZui) to Saban Brands of Los Angeles that the wheels began turning.
The Zui deal was announced last September. By January, the business partners were making a small investment in another Web startup. Boro and Broadhead had enjoyed some modest success before selling Zui, most notably by selling Infogate to AOL Time Warner in 2003. So they had begun the post-startup journey to a higher plane of existence as venture capitalists, right?
Not exactly.
After operating in quiet mode for nearly a year, Boro and Broadhead are now taking the wraps off Team Group, a San Diego firm with two lines of business and an approach that is akin to sweat equity for venture investors. One business, called Team Ventures, invests small amounts of capital in seed-stage Web startups. A related business, Team Services, manages the human resources, accounting, cash management, and other administrative, financial, and strategic tasks for early stage entrepreneurs.
So far, the firm has made four investments: DealStruck, a San Diego startup developing a crowdlending platform; Chatmeter, a San Diego startup that provides local brand management; 6Sense Insights, a San Francisco data analytics startup; and a mobile startup in San Diego that remains in stealth mode.
Team Group also has seven clients on the services side, Boro says. While the average size of the firm's investment is about $100,000, Boro adds, "Our principal investment is us, working alongside the entrepreneurs."
Team Group represents a new iteration of CVT Ventures, a venture capital and startup development group that Boro and Broadwell had established with Vidar Vignisson, a Zui co-founder they had worked with at Infogate. CVT still exists, but Boro says, "Vidar went on to do different things" and CVT is no longer making investments.
"We've structured Team Group a little differently," Boro explains. At CVT, one of the partners typically took a board seat in the firm's portfolio companies, which included VideoEgg and Luxology. But CVT did not have a services business, which Boro envisions as a way to work much more closely with startup founders. He says Team Group also has a few more deep-pocket investors, including Jack Rivkin, a Wall Street investor and former head of CitiGroup's Technology Venture Group.
"The service side represents a real need," Boro says. "It's something we do very well, and it keeps the lights on."
The key difference in Team Group's approach, Boro says, is that the firm plans to use its service business to generate its investment capital, instead of trying to raise a series of venture funds from endowments, pension funds, and other sources. "It's safe to say that if the VC model is not broken, it certainly is challenged," says Boro, who notes that Team Group's partners will not be taking VC management fees. (They instead draw a salary out of the services business revenues.) "In some ways, we're almost like private equity," he says. "We're getting involved with less than a handful of deals at a time, and we're getting deeply involved in each of them."
Boro says Team Services is targeting Web entrepreneurs who have raised from $500,000 to $750,000 in early seed or Series A funding or bootstrapped entrepreneurs who are generating cash flow.
"They don't want to spend a bund of money on administrative staff," Boro says. "To make your money last as long as possible, you don't want to hire a CFO and build a finance team."
Team Group's Broadhead was the COO and CFO at Zui, and has worked as the CFO at many venture-backed startups, and Boro says Team Group's six-person roster includes experienced controllers and bookkeepers. As seasoned Web entrepreneurs, Boro says they have learned that most startups hire and build their finance teams either too early late. Team Services can help get the timing just right, and represents an affordable alternative.
In addition, Boro says their firm also can help entrepreneurs develop their business strategies and can help them to raise additional capital.

How to wait out a rain delay
Last night, Jordan Zimmermann made his Major League debut and Joel Hanrahan recorded his first save of the season in front of just a few dedicated fans.

Danielle Van Dam was only 7 years old when she was kidnapped from her bed, murdered and dumped in rural San Diego County. Her killer, David Westerfield, was convicted of the brutal crime in 2002 and today awaits the ultimate punishment — the death penalty.
When that day comes, it will bring justice to Danielle's family and society.
California's death penalty is reserved only for the most heinous, violent crimes. Unfortunately, its implementation is unnecessarily slow, mired in bureaucracy and appeals by special interests that are driving up the cost to the taxpayer and continuing to traumatize the victims' families.
Some 680 condemned inmates are currently on California's Death Row, but in the last three decades there have been only 13 executions.
The Institute for the Advancement of Criminal Justice released the most comprehensive study on the death penalty in California history. It notes the cost for federal representation of a condemned prisoner in California is five times greater than the national average — $372,000 in contrast to $65,000.
The cases are often prolonged with multiple appeals and meritless litigation, delaying executions. Death penalty opponents disingenuously point to those mounting costs as an argument to abolish the law.
How slow and broken is the process? After David Westerfield's conviction, it took five years just to appoint an appeals attorney. Seven years after Westerfield's conviction, his attorney is now spending hours filing briefs about trivial details like commas and grammatical errors in the trial transcript — and billing taxpayers for all that time.
Whatever the costs, a fundamental question must be posed: how do you put a price on justice? The criminal justice system is not a business enterprise.
The right to a free attorney if you can't afford one comes at considerable public expense. So does the use of juries. No one would suggest eliminating these fundamental underpinnings of the criminal justice system due to their costs.
Opponents also claim we are imposing the death penalty too often, driving up the cost. That's flat wrong. Other district attorneys and I consistently reserve the death penalty for only the worst of the worst, and that decision is made only after a comprehensive and thoughtful process. From 2003 to 2008 in San Diego County, approximately 1 percent of murder defendants were sentenced to death.
Death penalty opponents cry loudly but remain a vocal minority. A recent Field Poll revealed that 67 percent of California voters support capital punishment. That's a powerful fact when one considers the volume of misinformation death penalty opponents produce. Californians see through the rhetoric and stand for justice. That's undeniable.
San Diegans should remember capital punishment deters crime and protects innocent citizens. Sadly, crime victims are forgotten pawns in this debate. While countless appeals and legal delay tactics slow the process for decades, thousands of families are forced to relive their nightmares.
If death penalty opponents want to change the law on moral grounds, they should take it to the voters.
In the meantime, the taxpayers are right to demand their money be spent efficiently in the appropriately swift administration of justice. The people of California deserve better. Victims like Danielle Van Dam deserve better.
Dumanis is the San Diego County district attorney and is the recent past-President of the California District Attorneys Association.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Daleen L.
Review for City Mission Society Inc, Buffalo, NY, USA
The Buffalo City Mission has been a wonderful way to teach my children how to give back in a meaningful way. We have been volunteering for Thanksgiving & an occasional Christmas meal for the past 7 years. I wanted a way to give my teenage daughters a sense of helping others since they were not inclined to go to church with me. The mission truly helped us as much as helping people get their lives back on track. The people of the city mission do God's work and show God's love for so many people. Being apart of their holiday efforts is a lot of work but so much joy comes from it.

Output Declines In U.S., Europe
Keywords: facts & figures, production, output
The economic downturn continued to put a damper on chemical production in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Japan last year, but output rose in China and Taiwan while holding steady in South Korea.
In the U.S., chemical companies began cutting back output in the latter part of 2008 as their customers, anticipating a drop in orders, stopped buying and worked down their inventories instead. By the start of 2009, chemical production was significantly below year-earlier levels. But as the lackluster year wore on, firms gently pressed the accelerator, raising output slowly through December.
U.S. output of just about every monitored chemical product was weaker in 2009 than in 2008. Production of basic chemicals dropped 6.7%, basic inorganic chemicals were off 7.2%, and organic chemicals slid 5.4%. In the general chemical products category, which slipped 10.7%, the index for pharmaceuticals and medicines, usually a strong sector, rose by a paltry 0.3%.
Chemical plant utilization in the U.S. actually rose for the year compared with 2008, from a decade-low 67.2% to a somewhat more respectable 74.0%. During the 2001 recession, plant utilization slipped only to 71.6%, an indication of how bad the recent slowdown was. Total U.S. manufacturing capacity utilization was scraping bottom in 2009 at 68.4%, still lower than the 69.0% seen in 2008. These figures are down even compared with the 2001 recession, when plants operated overall at 71.5%.
Almost all types of basic organic chemical production have fallen steadily in the U.S. over the past decade, but the drop in 2009 was particularly severe. Propylene output dropped by more than 10%, and production of aniline, butadiene, cumene, and ethylene oxide fell even more. Ethylbenzene, ethylene, and vinyl acetate held steady. And the production of some plastics, including polyvinyl chloride and both linear low-density and high-density polyethylene, grew slightly.
All categories of inorganic chemicals saw weak demand in the U.S., with production especially weak in chlorine, nitric acid, and sodium chlorate. Similarly, after a fairly strong 2008, all types of fertilizers saw steep output declines, with most dropping by more than 10%.
And the U.S. synthetic fiber industry continued its long downward spiral. Nylon output was off 14.0%, and olefin and polyester fiber production fell 13.8% and 11.8%, respectively.
On the whole, however, the U.S. chemical industry had a better production year than did manufacturing as a whole. Reduced spending by both consumers and businesses pushed total production of manufactured goods down 11.4%. Durable goods such as automobiles, furniture, and appliances were especially hard-hit. Luckily for the chemical industry, many of its wares go into nondurable items and day-to-day necessities such as soaps and medicines. Although production of nondurable goods was down 5.6% compared with 2008, chemical output as a whole was down only 4.8%.
Similarly, in Canada chemical makers fared a bit better than manufacturers overall. The Canadian chemical sector saw production slip by 10.7% in 2009, compared with 13.3% for all manufacturing. Demand dropped for most of Canada's major organic chemicals. Production of ethylene, Canada's highest-volume organic chemical, dropped nearly 12%, to 4.3 million metric tons. Canadian production of inorganics also fell, except for sodium hydroxide, and even fertilizers such as ammonium nitrate—usually a boon to Canada's chemical sector—suffered from weaker demand.
The most recent year that C&EN could obtain data for Europe is 2008. Although the numbers were on the books before Europe bore the full brunt of the downturn, the region produced fewer of many important key chemicals that year. A few key organics posted especially sharp production declines, including ethylene, which was down 8.5%, and benzene, which shrank by 16.4%.
Production of many inorganics in Europe also declined, although output of chlorine actually increased by 3.9% in 2008. The boost in chlorine fed a 7.1% increase in polyvinyl chloride output in Europe, but the rest of the major plastics saw a decline in production. Meanwhile, European fertilizer makers produced significantly less urea during 2008 but, curiously, much more ammonium sulfate.
In Asia, Japanese chemical output mirrored the slowdown in the U.S. and Europe, but in Taiwan and China, factories increased production. South Korean chemical output remained steady or turned positive.
In Japan, output increased in a few categories of chemicals in 2009, including organics such as benzene, ethylene, and styrene. But output of inorganics dropped sharply—all by more than 10%. Japan's plastics production was also down across the board. Polypropylene output, for example, dropped 16.0%.
Taiwan was a different, more positive, story. The small island nation increased its output in all categories of organic chemicals, especially in purified terephthalic acid, ethylene, and styrene. It also boosted output slightly in fertilizers, plastics, and man-made fibers.
South Korea was able to maintain its chemical production with a 5.3% increase overall. But it saw a relatively significant uptick in ethylene and propylene production of 5.2% and 9.1%, respectively.
From the limited information available about China's chemical output, it appears that the developing nation is working to supply its own basic chemicals from domestic sources. Production of benzene jumped 15.0%, and ethylene increased by more than 4%. Inorganics output rose only slightly, with the exception of sulfuric acid, which jumped by 16.6% in 2009.

***Republic Day of India - 26th January****
***Republic Day is celebrated most majestically in the capital, New Delhi, where symbols of the great nation's military might and cultural wealth are displayed in what is the world's most impressive parade. All Government buildings are illuminated lending the city the atmosphere of a fairyland. This day is celebrated with much zeal and pride all across the nation.....
***This holiday is an important national festival in India celebrating the day in 1950 when India's ties with Britain were severed and the country became a fully independent republic. The holiday is marked with parades and much celebration in all the state capitals, but the celebration in Delhi is especially grand. There is a mammoth parade with military units, floats from each state, dancers and musicians, and fly-overs. The festivities in Delhi actually last for about a week, with special events of all sorts in auditoriums and hotels. Special festivities took place during the year 2000, when India celebrated its 50th anniversary as an independent republic.
England's Queen Victoria had been proclaimed Empress of India in 1877, and it wasn't until 1947 that India won its long fight for freedom. The India Independence Act was passed by the British Parliament in July 1947, and by August 15 the Muslim nation of Pakistan and the Hindu nation of India had become independent dominions. Lord Mountbatten served as governor-general during the transition period. When a new constitution came into effect in 1950 his governor-generalship ended, and India stood fully independent. Independence Day on Aug. 15 is also a national holiday, but is observed chiefly with speech-making and none of the grandeur of Republic Day......

Perfect Taste
Like the vineyards that produce the classic vintages she adores, Amy Christine Ellis' palate has been carefully cultivated for years. Recently, she was named a master of wine by the Institute of Masters of Wine—one of only 312 people to hold that title worldwide, and one of only 10 women in the United States.
"It took me about seven years, which is the norm," says Ellis. "You are expected to do all the work and study on your own. The exam is four days, and you blind-taste 36 wines. You have to know where the wine is from, the grape variety or varieties, and the wine-making technique. In some cases, you even have to know the vintage. Of course, it's not a master of fine wine [designation], so you also have to recognize merlot from a box or white zinfandel."
A career in wine wasn't Ellis' first choice—she arrived in California with hopes of becoming an actress. She wound up working as a sommelier and met her husband while visiting a winery. In 2005 they started their own venture, Black Sheep Finds, in Santa Barbara. In the beginning they bought high-quality juice from growers to finish off. This year they're planting their own grapes.
"We've leased five acres in Santa Rita Hills where we'll plant pinot noir, chardonnay and syrah," she says. "It's my husband's dream and my dream, and it's actually happening this year. There goes our life savings!"
Black Sheep wines include Hocus Pocus, Holus Bolus and Genuine Risk.

The Golden Rules for Shopping the Sales
Your favorite shop just announced that they're having an insane sale of up to 75% off – of course you're going to check it out! But before you do, here are my golden rules for shopping sales that will save you time and money on items that aren't actually worth the sales tag let alone withstanding the crowds and reading between the lines of the return policies.
- Only buy something you really love or actually need – don't get caught up in the low prices and buy something useless.
- If it's on sale, buy the piece you couldn't otherwise afford.
- If it doesn't fit in the shop that probably won't change by the time you get home. Be honest with yourself when you're trying on items.
- Never buy anything too small. Only buy something too large if you have an amazing tailor you feel confident can make the piece fit.
- Avoid the boring classics – it's better to buy them on your own good time in a solid shop but there is no danger of being panicked into a buy where you know you can always take things back.
- Keep away from anything in a bin with "special purchase" attached to it – you will spend more money than it is worth.
- If there's something you've really set your heart on and you know it's going to be reduced, have patience and wait for it. In the meantime, stay away for fear of falling in love with the item and blindly purchasing.
- Don't be tempted to buy something in a wild colored or crazy print you would never wear simply because it's 50%+ off.
- If you're liable to be tempted into making a purchase you don't need, take a good and honest friend with you – when she says don't do it, listen!
- Before you part with your hard-earned cash, check the shops refund policy – if it doesn't work out you want to be able to take it back.

Clinton sounds warning to North leaders
Political leaders must get out of Stormont and engage with their disillusioned grassroots, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said yesterday.
Speaking at the new ¤110m Titanic centre in Belfast's docklands, Mrs Clinton said the peace process was being challenged.
She added: "What we have to do is get out of the ballrooms, out of Stormont and into the communities where people live, where they do not have that lasting hope of optimism."
This was Mrs Clinton's seventh visit to the North.
She and her husband, former US president Bill Clinton, were key figures in helping to carve out the peace process during the 1990s.
It comes amid fresh violence in Belfast, with attacks on the Alliance Party and the discovery of two bombs in Derry and Co Down.
Mrs Clinton said she wanted to continue to work with political leaders after she stands down from politics next year.
She said: "There is a lot to be proud of, but I want to offer a cautionary word because if we do not focus on a community level, on that interface, we will not have really achieved the peace that has been worked for.
"I want to remain involved as a friend, advocate and cheerleader for what we already achieved.
"Let us reach out to those who do not yet feel in their heart what has been achieved."

Soriano: Early Returns
A trio of good posts has been penned by Federal Baseball, Nats Triple Play, and OMG assessing the status of the Alfonso Soriano trade in light of his good start at the plate and avoidance of disaster in left field. The Feds and NTP are bullish, essentially ready to give Jim Bowden mad props for unloading the whiff machine Brad Wilkerson and change for a real major league hitter. OMG remains wary, figuring that Soriano will retreat somewhat and Wilkerson will advance as time moves on.
I think the cautionary approach from OMG is the right one, but I will say that I've been surprised by how much I enjoy watching Soriano hit, and I think that is the source of the optimism in Nate's and Basil's posts. He is unlike any hitter we've seen on the Nats -- quick hands, unexpected strength from a wiry frame, casual but potent speed on the bases. It seems like he hits the ball harder than any other Nat, even the singles.
This image of him is in direct contrast to the surly malcontent we heard about all winter -- there is an enthusiasm in the way he plays the game that was not evident in the offseason. In left field, a different story, of course. He makes bad judgments on balls and will loaf at times. But I spent a childhood watching Greg Luzinski "play" left field, so I'm not losing sleep over that.
Now that he's ours for this year, let's hope he continues this good work and truly does make us forget Brad Wilkerson.

Teaser Tuesday – Daring to Fall
My Thoughts – Working Moms
I began working from home when my youngest child was in Kindergarten. That meant I had at least four hours a day to work uninterrupted. The following year, he was in school for seven hours. That gave me seven hours to work. Not to mention that most of my work was done in the early morning, before my kids rose from bed. I was a fitness instructor and taught class at 5 a.m. By the time I returned home after class, it was exactly the hour my husband was getting up to wake them for school. It went on this way for three years.
When we moved and I began writing full time, my youngest was years older, my oldest in high school. They had become self-sufficient enough that I didn't have to follow them around constantly. Sure, I still had the same chores to accomplish (cleaning house, cooking, shopping, chauffer, etc) but my kids no longer interrupted my phone calls with pleas for a snack. They no longer needed my help with homework.
Now, I am approaching the time of empty-nesting. My youngest is sixteen and with his friends as often as he is home. I have one in college, six hours away, and one getting ready to graduate and move out on his own. I should have all the time in the world to work, to write and lose myself in plotting, marketing and creating. So, why do I seem to have less?
I have always empathized with mothers trying to write with young children home. I read posts from my author friends who are just starting out their families. I can't even imagine trying to write when there is that cute, snuggly little face curled up against my chest, sleeping so soundly. I can't even imagine being forced to explain to a three-year-old that you can't play blocks, or watch Doc McStuffins because you're on deadline. But, I am beginning to understand the struggle a bit better. You see, my home situation has changed in the past two weeks.
While I do have older children who should be able to take care of themselves, let's be real…these are teen boys. I'm lucky if their laundry doesn't stalk me down the hall, walking on its own, begging to be washed. I'm lucky if they know we have a dishwasher, let alone how to use it. And, when they are home, it's loud. If you've ever had boys close in age, you can imagine what teen boys do. I listen for hours on end to what I believe is literally the apocalypse over my head as these two wrestle (or argue) over the stupidest things. With them home on weekends, unless they've headed out with friends, I am getting next to no work done.
Which leaves me with the weekdays. Like most people, I should be able to get my job accomplished with a five-day work week, right? That might be true, if I didn't have a husband working an alternate schedule – off on Tues/Wed. Of course, I want a successful marriage which includes time with my husband. And, while he's extremely supportive, it usually equates to me taking at least one of his days off to spend time with him. But four days…I can get it all done in four days, right?
Until he informed me that he will, for a time, be working from home as well one day a week. While he means well, he often interrupts while I'm working. Always being courteous – do I need anything? Am I thirsty? Hungry? Need anything from the store? But these are all questions asked fifteen minutes apart, one every hour. I exaggerate…or do I?
All right, so he's home three days a week now. That still leaves me with Friday and Monday to work…right? I should be able to write books on those two days, right? Like the overachiever I am, I decided to throw a puppy into the mix. And not a 12-week-old, nearly-potty-trained puppy. Nope, not me! Let's bring home a baby. One who is so cuddly and wants to be held (and I can't say no to that snuggly, sweet face!). One who needs to be potty-trained (do they make dog-diapers this small?) One who begs me to get on the floor and play with him (and, yes, he actually DOES watch television…he loves football and M.A.S.H.)
Yes, I know a puppy isn't exactly the same as a baby (but, closer than some might think!) but my entire point in this is to remind those moms, trying desperately to write from home with kids clinging to their legs, to just hang in there. It will change. It will get better, and worse. It will get easier, and harder. Life is in a constant state of flux so just do your best and forget the judgmental "super-mom" who seems to have it all together. She isn't trying to write a best-seller! You do what you can and enjoy the life you have…it's the only way to keep your sanity. Well, that and lots of coffee/wine/chocolate.
Sexy Saturday

Quotable Thursday
Teaser Tuesday – Daring to Fall Release Day!!!
Today's the day! DARING TO FALL is finally here! I'm so excited for my readers to meet Ben and Emma! So, as a thank you (or to tease you), here's an excerpt you won't find anywhere but in the book (and on my blog):
What the hell are you doing?
The logical side of Emma's brain was practically screaming at her, but she didn't care. When she'd turned and felt Ben McQuaid pressed against her from shoulder to knee, her bones had turned to gelatin, leaving her a quivering, hungry, mess of yearning. The man was solid muscle, and it had been pure torture watching him clean pens all morning, every movement causing the flesh to ripple and flex deliciously. She might have given him a filthy job, but it hadn't compared to how dirty her thoughts had been as she eyed every chiseled inch of him, like living stone-carved perfection.
To be completely honest, she'd been fantasizing about him from the first time she'd seen him getting out of the truck with the box in his hands, but the more time she spent with him, the more she realized it wasn't just a physical attraction. The man was as inept with the animals as he was charming, but he had a way of making her feel heard, of getting her to open up and feel safe, even in her vulnerabilities. She'd already confessed more to him than she had to anyone, even her father, especially about her doubts in her own capabilities.
Her fingers brushed over the nape of his neck, his short hair bristling across her palms deliciously as his lips moved over hers and she opened beneath his seeking touch, sending spirals of heat to curl low in her belly, making her entire body tremble. She rose on her toes to better access his mouth and nearly moaned as her breasts brushed against the wall of his chest. He caught her sigh in his kiss and Emma swept her tongue into his mouth. Ben leaned into her, his presence surrounding her completely.
Without thinking, just knowing she wanted—needed—to be closer, Emma barely separated from him long enough to hop up on the kitchen counter, putting her face at the same level as his, even if her butt was only halfway on the counter.
"There," she whispered on a sigh, fusing their mouths again, wrapping her calves around his hips, her heels locking around that tempting ass of his.
Emma dragged him as close as she could, her thighs clasping his body, and felt the heat explode in her core where they were only separated by the thin barrier of their clothing. Her heart beat faster than she'd ever imagined possible. Faster than the first time she'd worked with a timber wolf, harder than the time a bull elephant had charged her at the park. Ben McQuaid affected her in a way that no burst of adrenaline ever had.
His hands slid from the counter to grip the side of her hips. It wasn't enough. She wanted to feel them move over her, under her shirt, against her bare skin. She wanted him to touch her, to be able to touch him, and to let this unexplainable maelstrom of desire engulf them both. Emma arched her back, pressing against the wall of his chest. Her body ached for more, demanding release, and she could feel the heat of his body where she burned the hottest.
His fingers clenched slightly, digging into the denim at her hips but, other than that small movement, he seemed relaxed, almost as if he was merely tolerating her kiss. Realization struck her hard, like a kick she'd received once from a donkey but twice as painful, because this time the sting was coupled with embarrassment. It flooded through her making the back of her neck prickle, burning her cheeks, nearly as hot as the lust still circling through her lower body. Emma drew back but avoided looking at him, not wanting to see passive indifference in his gaze while she was still reeling with the intensity of her reaction to him.
"Is that how you thank all of your volunteers for cleaning cages?" Ben slid his finger under her chin and lifted her face, forcing her to look at him and see that cocky smirk. "Or am I just one of the lucky ones?"
His gaze was dark with a lazy amusement. There was nothing to indicate he shared the same urgent hunger she felt.
Ben's gaze slid over her face, lingering for a moment on her mouth before he inhaled deeply, cocking his head to one side, as if she was a puzzle he was trying to solve. "You're almost as wild as those animals of yours."
Emma's stomach did a flip before it sank to her toes. In fact, the way he said it sounded more like an insult than an innocent observation.
Wild, impulsive, brash, daring . . . she'd had them all linked to her in one way or another during her lifetime. She didn't usually mind since, in her line of work, she needed to be all of them at times. But she wasn't stupid, and she usually didn't rush headlong into a situation without considering the consequences, not like this. Not anymore. It was that balance that kept her and her staff safe.
But somehow, Ben made her undeniably aware, and for the first time she understood the meaning of "animal attraction." Even now, with her pride stinging, she still had the urge to rip his shirt off and lick the well-defined abs still pressed against her. But, obviously, the feeling wasn't mutual and she wasn't about to make a complete idiot out of herself. Once a day was the limit for her own stupidity.
Emma had two choices: either continue to blush furiously and let him know the depths of her embarrassment, or brush it off as no big deal, pretending he didn't affect her in the slightest. It was a no-brainer, although she could still feel her cheeks burning.
Sliding off the counter, letting her body brush slowly against the front of him, Emma deliberately tried to get some reaction from him while ignoring the electric shock waves the contact set off in her own body, turning too many parts liquid.
She lifted his arm from the counter and reached for the glasses, brushing past him and giving him a quick shrug. "Eh, it's out of my system."

Normally, I dislike sports games. In that respect, if I do play one, it has to be an excellent one and force me to keep playing. Very few have done that: Segasports' NFL and NBA series have done that. So with a pretty good track record with me so far, how could I go wrong with the World Series...ah...series? I did go wrong, but not on a grand scale that left me writhing and curled up in a corner. --I Made It To Third Base-- No matter what Segasports game you purchase, you can be guaranteed of spectacular visuals. I found the overall graphics equal to and even superior to some of the sports games already on the market. The player models were done with extreme care, especially in the faces. Although I couldn't figure out why they made Mike Piazza thin, with a huge head. Okay, maybe the huge head thing is correct. The stadiums were done to the minor details. Just the stadiums, mind you. The crowds in each of the stadiums were static and didn't contain much variety. But the stadiums represented their true-life counterparts with good distance perception both in height and width. It was great to see Comisky Park and Wrigley field on my home TV and pick out the seats where I have sat. If only there were Hot Dog vendors in this game. There were two setbacks in regards to looks. The player animations were lackluster. It seemed to me that Sega put a lot of effort into the stadiums, the fields, and the basic character models that they just hurried the animations. The players run realistically, bat realistically, and pitch realistically, but that's where I feel the animation depth ended. Outfields only seemed to know one way to throw back into the infield and every infielder only knew one way to catch. And no matter how high or low a player threw, whoever was catching the ball caught it at exactly the same level each time. So if it bounced, who knew? Because each time, the player caught it at stomach high. The second setback
was the slowdown and it occurred in two places. When there was a throw to the plate, when the ball was halfway there, there was significant slowdown as the player slide into home, the catcher attempt to tag him out, and when the numbers came up to score. I think Sega should have waited for the score to come up before throwing it all into one plate. The other slowdown occurred when there was a throw to one of the bases, especially when someone was stealing a base. By the time you get the ball out of the catcher's hands (at the time the sluggish graphics took over) the runner was 3/4's of the way there. Very, very frustrating. Nine times out of ten, I just let the runner steal the base. --Hit Me Baby One More Time-- Or at least try. I will warn you, batting requires much patience. It took me some time to get use to the Right Trigger control as the main source of hitting. You hold the trigger down and release it when you want to swing as you use the analog stick to aim your crosshair. The first few games I played, I probably hit only 3 balls. Maybe it's just me, but the camera angle makes it hard to gauge pitching angles and release points and there are only three more which are all variations on the same camera. Not once is there one which puts you directly behind the plate. They are all slightly off-center from the plate and I feel this is one of the major downfalls of the hitting aspect of this game. For instance, what I think might be a strike, turns out to be a ball or vice versa. Granted, they are called curves and sliders for a reason, but if some of the pitchers really had that kind of control, there would be more shutouts and no-hitters in real-life than there is now. Probably about 15-20 games into my little season, I read a cheat on-line (at that time I was 1-16 and my main pitcher had a 32.40 ERA) that saved my last place team. In Rookie mode (only this mode) if you lightly press the analog stick as the pitch
er is in motion, the crosshair will track the ball for you. Then, all you have to do is swing the bat at the right moment. This helped greatly and I started getting doubles, triples and even some home runs. Now don't ostracize me. I am now in Pro mode with this help and I think using that hint has assisted with my timing and ball-gauging. (Hehe...I said Ball-Gauging). --I'm A Pitch, I'm A Glover...-- Pitching is decent. With the analog stick, you push it in the direction of the pitch you want, hit A and off you go. Each Mound Hugger has their specialty of pitches and as the game goes on, they get tired and their accuracy, control, and speed deteriorate. You have limited ability to control where you pitch goes. If you do want more control, be careful because the slightest movement of the analog stick will send your ball drastically in the direction. I just let the computer throw the ball and see how things turn out. You can toss pick off throws, hit batters, and intentionally walk someone and that's about it for the pitching. Ok, just how many times can I say pitch or a derivative of pitch in the same paragraph??? --I Am Mode Man, Simplistic and Uncomplex-- I was really saddened by the lack of modes. I will give you four guess as to what kind of modes are in this game. If you said Exhibition, Quick Play, Season, and Playoff, then you win a copy of this game...if you want it. My only question: Where's the Home Run Derby mode? Exhibition Allows single or two-play action, letting you select your teams. You can change your line-up if you desire and how the computer plays the defensive players. Quick Play Don't even worry about what teams to pick. The computer picks them for you so you can just get some sandlot action going. Season Play a season...what did you think this mode was??? Stats are kept, slumps and streaks are montiored, the Al
l-Star game is played...just like in real-life. Playoff Not really a mode, but you can go to the playoffs at any point. Just make sure your team is geared for the playoffs, otherwise you'll be selecting this option for nothing. --Be God, Or At Least Marge Schott-- There is a Create A Player mode, which allows you to create up to 25 players. Pick their team, name, uniform number and position. Then select the build, face, mitt type, bat, batting glove, shoes, wristband, socks and elbow guard. After that, give him a throwing arm, batting stance and form and allocate points to Contact, power, speed, and defense. Now all that is left are the endorsements and you have a baseball player! Why did I purchase this game? Initially, two reasons: 1) The 2.99 used Price and 2) I didn't have a baseball game for the Dreamcast yet. I am playing it frequently, but not as frequently as some of my other games and that's because it doesn't impress me enough. After I finish my current season, I will probably red-tag this sucker and send it to the minors.
World Series Baseball 2K1 is produced by Sega Sports, who are well known for producing faithful recreations of American Sports on the Dreamcast. With the highly successful NBA and NFL games, can they do it again with the MLB? In a word, yes. World Series Baseball 2K1 is up to date for the start of the 2000 MLB Season. This means with approximately 1 hour's work, you can update the rosters to be similar to today's teams. Obviously, some rookies are missing, most notably Ichiro, but the game is over a year old, and there is nothing you can do. The game allows you to play an Exhibition Game, a Season or skip straight to the Playoffs. You can play a short season of 13/15, 26/30 games (depending on the league you play), or longer seasons of 52, 104 and a full 162 game season. This provides plenty of depth to the game. The first thing that will strike you is the visuals. All 30 MLB stadiums are recreated in perfect detail, and although it's all static (it's always 12:57 at Tropicana Field), it looks excellent. Baseball fans will be able to identify players by face as well - the detail is stunning. But what about the gameplay? Well, it's good and bad. Firstly, the good: Pitching. WSB uses a good pitching method, where you select a pitch using the 3D Stick, then aim the pitch, and stop the power bar where appropriate. It works well, and you feel quite in control. However, when the opposition gets a hit, you notice the first problem. The fielding was automatic - players ran to the ball and you told them where to throw it. I wanted to field myself, so I went back to the options.....but couldn't change it. There is no Manual fielding option in World Series Baseball, and this is frustrating because the computer misses some plays that you are certain could be made. Then we come to batting. Batting uses a different style to most games. You pull the R trigger, then release it to swing. This feel
s ok, until you realise that the "Early" and "Late" advice on when to swing seems a bit random. It feels very sluggish at times. The game is hard. Very hard. It wll take you a long time to start winning on Amateur, and then there's still Rookie, Pro, All-Star and Legend to conquer. However, you do feel that turning up the difficulty only makes it harder to hit away from fielders, and increases the chance of the computer hitting it so it cannot be fielded. It almost feels on higher difficulty levels like you have very little control. All in all, WSB 2K1 is a good game. You feel with another month in the development house it could have been brilliant, but if you want a good baseball game to enjoy casually, this is for you. However, a slightly dodgy batting system and no manual fielding will deter hardcore fans who like total control. This game is only available in the US, but it is worth getting a disc to play import games to play it. The game can be found for $20 (£13), and you can get import disks for under £5.

Top Chef: Seattle's Girl Power-packing finalists Kristen Kish and Brooke Williamson stopped by Anderson Live today to dish just a little bit on what we can expect from tomorrow night's finale. As last week's teaser promised, it was taped Iron Chef-style, in front of a live studio audience, and the judges voted after each of the five courses to determine who won each round.
Kristen and Brooke did not get to taste each other's food after it went out, which possibly caused the ladies a bit more paranoia than in normal challenges: apparently, Kristen asked Brooke for an Advil just before the finale challenge began, and she made Brooke take one with her to prove she wasn't slipping her a sleeping pill.
It's a slippery slope from Pea-gate to roofies, kids.
Check out their Anderson Live appearance below.

NEW YORK -- Dick Ebersol's passion for the Olympics began as a researcher in the 1960s and led him to help NBC lock up the U.S. TV rights through the 2012 Games.
Now the chairman of NBC Sports, Ebersol shapes the way millions of Americans watch the Olympics and influences the way the International Olympic Committee stages them.
"He's kind of 'Mr. Olympics,' there's no doubt about that," Fox Sports chairman David Hill said.
On Sunday, Ebersol and one of his sons survived a charter plane crash in Colorado that killed two crewmen.
On Monday, the body of Ebersol's 14-year-old son was believed recovered. Coroner Mark Young said a body matching the description of Edward "Teddy" Ebersol was found underneath the wreckage. Heavy equipment was used to recover the body.
Montrose County sheriff's officials said three survivors, including Ebersol, were seriously injured when the jet crashed through a fence and burst into flames at Montrose Regional Airport, which serves the Telluride Ski Area.
Dick and Charles Ebersol remained hospitalized in stable condition Monday and are expected to make a full recovery, NBC said in a statement.
The accident shook the TV world, where Ebersol is one of the leading figures -- and has been for decades.
The consummate out-of-the-box thinker, he's had a hand in all sorts of television experiments, in sports and entertainment, with success and not, from Saturday Night Live in the 1970s to the short-lived XFL in 2001.
"He is very innovative," Hill said. "He's obviously a great leader and, from my perspective, a very worthy competitor."
Ebersol is fond of noting that he dropped out of Yale at 19 to work as an ABC researcher at the Grenoble Olympics in 1968. That began his love affair with the multisport event. He was a protege of Roone Arledge and carried on his philosophy of presenting the Olympics via storytelling, rather than emphasizing results.
Developing strong ties with the IOC, Ebersol made himself and his network synonymous with the Olympics.
"The Olympics are not to us a sporting event, they're not about sports rights," Ebersol said in June, when NBC acquired the 2010 and 2012 Games in a $2.2 billion deal. "The Olympics are something really, really special. They are the only great family viewing experience left in all of American television.
"They're the only thing that puts Mom, Pop and the kids in front of the television set at the same time," he said.
In 1995, NBC obtained the rights to five Olympics from 2000-08 in a pair of deals worth $3.5 billion. Those negotiations took place in secret without other networks getting a chance to bid.
This summer's Athens Games dominated TV for 17 days, giving NBC ratings wins for every half-hour in prime time. An average of 24.6 million people watched each evening, a 14 percent increase over the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
"Dick is an inspiration, a leader. He's innovative, and outspoken at times," said Neal Pilson, a media consultant and former CBS Sports president. "He has focused on the Olympic coverage. He has strong personal relations with members of the IOC. He is a great fan of Olympic sports, and he has made the Olympics a cornerstone of NBC."
He was there for the start of another of the network's hallmarks, Saturday Night Live, and briefly replaced Lorne Michaels as that show's executive producer in the early 1980s. Ebersol became director of late-night programming at NBC in 1974 and became president of NBC Sports in 1989.
In 1995-96, NBC broadcast the World Series, Super Bowl, NBA Finals and Summer Olympics. But with Ebersol yet again following his own path, NBC gradually dropped out of covering major sports, saying that they're money-losers.

Album Rating: 4.5Straight up rock n' roll.
In my opinion this should definitely be considered among Springsteen's best work. Maybe because it was the first full Boss album I heard (always heard his singles but I really appreciate albums in full quite a bit more) that it would rank so high - but truly an exceptional album.
Album Rating: 3.5It's also not dated like hell (Born in the USA).
Yeah - it is a shame people think everything this guy has is like "Born In The USA". I'll admit I'm a sucker for the Boss and don't mind that album but he's got some incredible stuff that people just will not listen to because they think they're gonna hear "Born In The USA".
Album Rating: 5.0Upon further listening, increased to a 5.
Album Rating: 4.0Born In The USA is an amazing album. This is okay too. Like pretty okay and shit.
Radio Nowhere = HOOOOLLLYYYY SHIIIIIT
Album Rating: 4.0Amazing to see how great he still is
Yes. Still a fantastic album.
Radio Nowhere has the same chord progression as 867-5309.
radio nowhere is great. the rest is kinda yeah...
Album Rating: 4.0Long Walk Home man
I loved Working On A Dream when it came out, and still like it a lot more than the general consensus here, however - between this and Wrecking Ball it just doesn't compare. "Girls In Their Summer Clothes" - untouchable.
