Rivals100 2007 linebacker Steve Paskorz out of Pittsburgh (Pa.) Hampton took a junior day visit to Notre Dame this past weekend. What did the 6-foot-0, 208-pounder with 4.6-second speed think of the Irish and South Bend?
"I loved everything up there," he said. "The whole trip was really well fashioned and the coaches and facilities are awesome. I got there and talked to my recruiter coach Latina and then watched some film and heard speeches by the athletic director and coach Weis. Then we toured the facilities and went to a basketball game.
"I really liked coach Weis. He's a real personable man and very good with his words. He's very convincing."

Where does the visit put Notre Dame for Paskorz?
"I'd say they are up there as one of my top schools," he said. "It seems like a really safe, comforting place to be. Everything about the trip was really nice."
Next up for Paskorz is a trip to Michigan's junior day on January 28th.
"I've already been up there for an open house. I've got some good chemistry with some of the assistant coaches," he said. "This time I really want to see the facilities and just check out more of the campus all around."
After that, the linebacker prospect is looking at heading to the Rivals.com Junior Day at Akron on Feb. 25.
Currently, Paskorz is favoring Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, Pittsburgh, West Virginia and Virginia.
"Those are primarily the schools I'm considering because they are local. I like all of them because they have great football tradition and many of them, specifically Virginia, Notre Dame and Michigan are also known for their academics. The other thing is that they all send a lot of players to the pros which is nice too."

Tom ScavoE-mail: email@example.com
Address: 616 Westcott Street, Syracuse, NY 13210
Phone: (315) 479-7183
School: Edward Smith School
Over the past two years, in collaboration with Byron Petraroja, a fifth-grade teacher at Edward Smith School (Syracuse, NY), Tom Scavo has developed a number of mathematics lesson plans on such non-traditional topics as tangrams, geoboards, probability, and statistics. The implementation of these lesson plans has been very much in line with the NCTM Standards, in terms of both content and delivery.
Tom writes: "Tangrams are two-dimensional geometric shapes that fit together to make larger shapes. A typical package of tangrams contains a square, two small congruent triangles, two large congruent triangles, a medium-size triangle, and a parallelogram. These shapes can be used to give the student 1) an introduction to area without formulas, 2) a familiarity with the names of various polygons, and 3) an understanding of certain geometric terms (such as congruent and similar).
"Geoboards are an excellent pedagogical devices with which to introduce the concepts of length and area. (Surprisingly, area is the simpler of the two concepts.) With a geoboard, a student can see the area of a rectangle, say, and will readily count the square units making up the figure. Indeed, "square unit" takes on a whole new meaning with the geoboard.
"Statistics is very much an applied mathematical science. This is especially true at the elementary level, where we must think of ways to introduce statistical concepts without formulas. One way to do this is to take a project-oriented approach that incorporates a range of activities including measurement, graphing, computation, data analysis, and presentation of results."
Tom would like to make these lesson plans available on the Web, and collaborate with other classroom teachers via the Internet. The statistics project, for instance, could be expanded to encompass multiple classrooms at remote locations.
Tom has twelve years teaching experience at the college level, with graduate degrees in statistics, mathematics, and computer science. As an educational consultant for the past three years, he has given courses and workshops on the Internet and other technical subjects to students and teachers. He recently created a Web page for students and teachers in the Syracuse City School District (accessible from his home page listed below). It includes many links to World-Wide Web sites of interest to educators.

By this time next week, the asphalt parking lot that makes up most of the stadium site will be full of backhoes and dump trucks. They will begin tearing away the surface of the parking lot and removing a layer of dirt, to prepare the ground for construction that will begin in August.
"Thanks for being here. Quite honestly I can't believe we're here. But we are," laughed Twins Sports Inc. president Jerry Bell.
Bell was standing at the approximate site of home plate, with a white construction helmet perched on his head. The team had set out bases to illustrate the orientation of the playing field. About 300 feet from Bell are bright pink markers representing where the right field and left field foul poles will be.
Bell says he'll be even happier once the ground is broken, but he's still glad to be at this point.
"That's right. We're not at a meeting. We're not having a vote either. We're going to begin clearing this land," Bell said, to begin construction on a stadium the team has sought for the past decade.
Bell and the Twins were regulars at the Capitol over the past 10 years, as they sought public funding for a new stadium. What finally did it for the team was its partnership with Hennepin County.
The county offered to levy a countywide sales tax to pay for the majority of the funding. And while the plan was controversial because it required no voter referendum, enough state legislators and the governor were willing to make it happen.
The second of the three major tenants at the Metrodome, the University of Minnesota Gophers football team, will also have a new stadium in the next few years, leaving the Vikings as the sole dome tenant.
Both the Vikings and the owners of the Metrodome are looking for public help for a new home for the team, and they say time's running out.
Vikings owner Zygi Wilf is interested in tearing down the dome and building a new $954 million stadium with a retractable roof.
Team counsel Lester Bagley says Wilf is prepared to contribute several hundred million dollars to build the stadium, plus invest another $1 billion in a redevelopment plan that would include shops, hotels and office space near the stadium site.
But stadium construction could take several years, and the team's lease agreement with the Metrodome expires in 2011. Bagley says inflation complicates the deal.
"Every year we delay, it costs $40 million to $50 million on top of the already astronomical price," Bagley said. "So there's an urgency in terms of cost and the construction timeline, based on the expiration of our lease."
The Vikings' landlord, the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, is leading the charge at the Capitol for public funding for a new multi-purpose stadium. The commission recently endorsed Wilf's redevelopment plan, saying that it would have a positive impact on the east downtown section of the city.
Commission Chair Roy Terwilliger, a former state senator, will be back at the Capitol Wednesday to present a Metrodome site wish list to the House Taxes committee.
Terwilliger says he wants legislators to understand the urgency of the situation for the Vikings. He also wants them to see the benefits of having such a facility.
"We believe ... the plan we have in place is exciting, that it will provide a venue -- a multipurpose public venue --- for all types of events," said Terwilliger, "whether it be the state high school playoffs or Billy Graham Crusade or Promise Keepers or Hmong New Year or the Minnesota Vikings."
Terwilliger says the purpose of his appearance at the Capitol is not to ask legislators for a specific amount of money. The commission and the Vikings will save those requests for the session in 2008, when the Twins play their next to last season at the Metrodome.

Humanitarian practice and paradigms
A question commonly asked by the public is:
Over time, humanitarian practice has been built on a combination of research and action, giving rise to a field of knowledge that represents the best and most appropriate responses to the particular challenges of a range of disaster situations. This unique field of knowledge is informed by a variety of disciplines: anthropology, history, development studies, economics, child development, psychology, nutrition, medicine, engineering, geography and international law, among many others.
In recent years, this combination of disciplines has given rise to a new branch of learning increasingly referred to as Humanitarian or Disaster studies. As part of a broader trend of professionalization, humanitarians are becoming increasingly specialized while also retaining a healthy command of a breadth of disciplines.
The humanitarian enterprise has developed standards, principles, codes of conduct and practices to guide humanitarians and their organizations through the difficult moral, technical and political landscapes that characterize today's disasters. These are embodied in a large range of guidelines, tools, training programs, academic degrees and field techniques or 'field-craft' that agencies, governments and academics have developed to guide risk management strategies and related interventions.
Some of the key subjects covered by these kinds of studies can be grouped under the following themes:

This opening session of the day will look at how Innovation and Evolution in Maritime Connectivity is changing the operating landscape. What can these latest developments do to improve operational agility, create enhanced efficiency and, above all, reduce costs for the ship owner and manager.
Managing Maritime Cyber Resilience
A look at maritime cyber security, safety and risk:
How is the industry reacting to increased cyber threats borne out of the growing use of cloud and applications, reliance on automation and remote monitoring, the number of devices used, and larger ships but fewer crew. What policies, guidelines and best practices are already in place, and how can the industry identify, quantify and mitigate real cyber risk to business?
Reviewing crew communications, training and welfare:
Shipowners are well aware of the benefits of offering crew connectivity – with a recent study suggesting that 73% of those surveyed cite connectivity as a key influencer when choosing their employer. So how are users and providers alike reacting to this, and ensuring that their services and offerings meet the demands of these vital people?
The iShipping Revolution
How big data, IoT and analytics are bringing about a shift in smart shipping – and how can we harness disruptive influence to deliver innovation and opportunity:
Transformation, digitalization, disruptive influence, innovation. We know that the maritime sector is on the cusp of dramatic change – how can we harness all this data and all information to build our own businesses and make them smarter, safer, and more sustainable?
Plus: Networking Breaks – including
a Reception on 14 February for all participants.

The host asked the President to give short characteristics a number of well-known personalities.
With regard to Putin, trump has used the colloquial expression "tough cookie", which also can be translated as "snatch", "die hard" and "man does not miss".
During the election campaign, trump promised a "very good relationship" with Putin, but amid criticism in Congress and the media, accusations of some of his entourage in behind-the-scene contacts with Russian officials, and especially suspicions that Russian hackers allegedly contributed to the discredit of his rival Hillary Clinton, he prefers to speak more diplomatically.

There is absolutely NO doubt that America is in need of a Fitness Revolution! Obesity soars due to inactivity and uncontrolled eating habits and is the main source for many diseases that plague our country. Heart disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, arthritis, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, pulmonary disease, and diabetes are only a few of the MANY diseases that exercise can help prevent and treat. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to begin an exercise regime that WILL enhance your quality of life for years to come!
Thank-you so much for taking the time to visit my website!
Let me begin by introducing myself! My name is Savannah Rose Emler and I am a graduate of the Sport and Fitness Management Program at Zane State College in Zanesville, Ohio. I am 19 years old and I eat, breath, and sleep fitness. This unquenchable thirst began when I was a slightly pudgy, extremely out of shape, pimple plagued teenager attending her first track and field after school conditioning session. I could barely lap the 1/4 mile track one time at a 4mph pace "warm-up" when I realized how truly difficult that season was going to be for me. BUT, I stuck it out, and it is the real reason I am who I am today.
After about 2 weeks of track conditioning, I began to notice a change in my body for the better. I began to slim down, my muscles began to tone, and I was finally able to do 2 laps around the track at 4mph before I passed out... :/ Unfortunately, track never got much easier for me, because I never once believed in myself to win a race, which led me not to try very hard. I more or less attended practice to enjoy the company of my new friends and because I was already so involved in the sport, I couldn't back out mid-season. Nonetheless, I made it through to the end only to discover that I actually sort of enjoyed it and was sad to see it end.
Somehow, someone was conniving enough to convince me to sign up for cross-country the following fall. I immediately said no, but after some prodding and poking from my coach and other track teammates, I joined. The workouts were much harder, but I began to care enough about running to actually try. I by no means became an all star that season either, but I learned a TON about who I was by running long distance: perserverance, mental capacity, and inner strength being the top 3. [Picture on the right is me,(left side of picture)16 years old, at a cross country meet with my best friend.]
Long story short, I didn't sign up for track or cross-country again after those two grueling seasons, because other activities such as National Honor Society, Key Club, church activities, school, and work took their place. However, I never stopped exercising. In fact, I became an exercise, healthy eating nut! This was quite the opposite from my life before! Running had changed me; and not just physically. I learned about who I was and what I was capable of. I gained self-confidance by realizing what my potential was and I knew that set me apart from most people. Running taught me to believe in myself and it helped pave the way to were I am today. I've decided to devote my life to giving back to people who may be in a similar boat as I once was. I know how much fitness has changed my life and I want nothing more than to bless others by that same capacity. You won't find a more passionate trainer, wholly devoted to your needs and desires. It's just not possible.

What We'Ve Done…. - Poem by Luca Menin
What we've done to the sound of the cricket
singing at the silent clear moon?
At the swinging of the honey tree that flavour the air?
Islands sail at the wind, never leaving the shore
where the past it is like prints of footsteps on the beach
disappearing, washed away by tide of dreams and lullaby.
Variety of life's floating, TVs sounds
Echoing in paradises of stone
By the time transformed
Replaced by dome that we called home
I was a monster dress in child skins
With Indian silks and eyes of war
Choking at the shine of the sun through the mill eye
I found my tender moments while walking, smoking fast
My hope to last at the vibration of a bow that it been stretched
Shape like a blue king saviour
And now I'm greedy and savaged
Hanging on carousel of faiths
What we've done, we've ripped apart?
Like roses, petals by petals, left only with stalks and thorns

This week, Scott Thomson is in the Ambassador Spotlight. Scott's blog is YourInnerSkinny.ca and you can find him on Twitter.
How do you define FitFluential?
This isn't the first time I've come across this question. The first time someone asked this to me, I had a hard time answering it. Not because I didn't know the answer but because of all of the POSSIBLE answers I came up with.
My first and immediate response was "FitFluential means that I'm healthy and fit" but that answer wasn't quite what I was looking for. I then thought of "I'm influential because I help people get healthy," but again, it didn't convey what I wanted to say. I struggled long and hard with this question and to get the answer I wanted, I actually CHANGED the question a bit. I changed the question from "define FitFluential" to "I'm FitFluential Because…" and what I got for an answer actually got me a bit emotional.
I am FitFluential because I know it's not just about how many reps I can do or how much weight I can squat in the gym. I'm FitFluential because I know it's not just about dieting 24/7 or starving myself. I'm FitFluential because I know that it's not about how far I can run or how many marathons I've done. I am FitFluential because I know it's about how I treat my mind and body. I'm FitFluential because I know that it's about loving myself for who I am and what I know can do, every day. I'm FitFluential because I know that I can inspire others and help people overcome the same things that I have overcome in my life. I'm FitFluential because I have a great group of people to support me, good or bad, no matter what. I'm FitFluential because I know you can have the same things that I have…
This is how I define FitFluential.
What is your main motivation to be fit?
I once lived a very, very unhealthy lifestyle. I weighed somewhere between 265 and 275 lbs. I was inactive, I smoked a pack and a half of cigarettes a day, I drank 12 beers every night, I didn't cook and I ate nothing but the worst kind of take-out food in mass quantities. I was the epitome of someone who was on the fast track to a short life.
I never want to be that guy again.
FitFluential believes that the key to balance is Eat, Sleep, Move, Enjoy. What is your favorite way to Enjoy Life?
I love sports! I play sports. I watch sports. I coach kids sports. I eat and sleep sports. They're a huge part of my life. I strongly believe that I wouldn't be the man I am today if it weren't for playing sports growing up. I'm also a big outdoorsy person. I love to camp and hike and fish and hunt. I also wrestle bears in my spare time.
What is your regular fitness routine?
I do a lot of everything. I need to mix up my workouts because I have a very short attention span. I do kettlebell training, I've done crossfit, I do weight training, I do… OH SOMETHING SHINY… Did I mention I play a lot of sports too?
Seriously though, it's good to keep changing your workouts regularly. Your body is very smart and can adapt to a workout within 6 weeks. So if you're doing the same workout over and over again, you're not going to progress the way you would if you're constantly changing it up.
What advice do you have for someone at the beginning of their fitness journey?
Start. It's easy to put off something you don't want to do until tomorrow and yes, it may be hard to start something that scares you, but it's worth it, I promise! Taking that first step and starting is the best decision I ever made. My biggest recommendation is to seek out the help of a professional. Gyms can be overwhelming and if you're going in to something that you're not familiar with and you're unarmed, you may just end up disappointed and give up. Personal trainers are a great investment, even if for only one session, and a great first step on your new fitness journey.
Bonus Question: Rumor has it (Adele reference intended) that you live way up north in Canada. (Like, WAY up there.) We would like to hear about one of the following: tundra, a yeti sighting, the northern lights or your proximity to Santa. Discuss.
First off, I have no idea who or what Adele is, so you've lost me already. Secondly, there seems to be a misconception as to where I actually live. Even though Santa is my homie and we're working on a new fitness regime for the New Year, I do not live near or in the North Pole. I live in a small Northern Canadian city called Yellowknife. It has a population of about 18,000 and is known as a very transient city because of the turnover here due to the diamond mines. Yes, that's right ladies, I said diamond mines.
The summers are absolutely amazing here. There are so many lakes to swim in and fish on, so much wilderness to explore, so many hiking trails to hike, and so much camping to be had that we're lucky we get twenty-three hours of daylight to get it all done. The downside is that in the winter the temperature drops to about -40C and we get only five hours of daylight which makes staying active a bit hard sometimes. The key is to get involved in activities. I play a lot of winter sports, indoors of course, but I'm going to try snow shoeing for the first time and cross country ski for the first time since I was twelve. Yes -40C is cold, but if you dress for it, it's not so bad (or at least that's what I keep telling myself). We're not quite the Tundra, we do have some trees, and I've yet to see the Abominable Snowman (but it's why I'm going snow shoeing) and if you have the chance to see the Northern Lights, do so, because I can't even begin to try and describe them here.
I think that about covers all of the rumors, time to make up some new ones.

Return to Gamehead Taxidermy Category Menu
try sharpening that stump...and boiling that skull and give us feed back...when you do. You are right what you say is very possible...and has been done....way back before the gasoline engine...and since.
Here's a hint...try stock wood and plaster of paris to get that stump to size...good luck...
A person might get by with a odd one like that to save some money the size of a deer or bear?

Cute mushroom, Thanks Jan.
I get a laugh at some of the people from NL. Now I know there is another Dutch woman. I will have to remember to put the s in Gelders.
So instead of states like our you call them province like in Canada. Glad you are around to explain some of these pictures.
A lovely picture, thanks Jan. Where are the Elves?
Gelderland is a province of NL. Gelders Landschap means Landscape of Gelderland.
It is Gelders (with s)
Beautiful, love mushrooms! thanks Jan.

97 Ford Probe. 2.5L GT, 107,000 miles. Two days ago I tried starting my car and it died. It took 3 tries and revving the engine before it would stay on. After I drove about a mile it started making this loud "knocking" or rattling noise from the engine. The oil guage jumps up and down and the clutch wont come all the way back up when you pres it. I know my car needs some work, but what can this be. When my spark plugs, wires and slave cylinder were switched out the guy told me that something was leaking down into 1 of the plugs. I was having problem with the car for a while and then it sat for 2 months and it seemed to get better but now worse. Can someone please help me? I'm tired of getting screwed
have the same problem?

When East met West in the championship game of the 22nd Holiday Prep Classic National Division, it was size and balance that was the difference.
DeMatha of Hyattsville, Md., had five players score in double figures, led by 6-9 BeeJay Anya's 13 points, 10 rebounds and three blocked shots en route to a 74-64 victory Friday over Los Angeles Windward at Torrey Pines High.
"We were impressed with this tournament, especially the California teams," said Stags head coach Mike Jones, whose club improved to 10-0.
Anya got plenty of help from James Robinson (18 points), Marcellous Bell (17 on five three-pointers), tourney MVP Jerami Grant (12) and Jairus Lyles (12).
Mavericks win American Division
Matt Shrigley scored 16 points, but it was his defense that was the difference as La Costa Canyon rallied to capture the American Division title at Torrey Pines with a 60-52 win over Santa Maria Righetti.
Righetti's Hunter Walker, who scored 18 first-half points, 12 of them on three-point field goals, did not score in the second half with Shrigley making sure that when he did get the ball, he never had a clear shot.
"I tried to stay on his chest and contest everything he put up," said Shrigley, who earned MVP honors for the division. "Every now and then you have to sacrifice and play defense."
LCC (14-1) allowed just six points in the fourth quarter.
Saints win Senators Division
Juan Moreno scored 25 points as St. Augustine defeated Mesquite (Ariz.) 73-60 to win the Senators Division title at Cathedral Catholic.
Brynton Lemar and Trey Kell both added 15 points for the Saints, who improved their record to 13-0 this season.

Tami Monroe's Porn Star Biography
Classic actress Tami Monroe grew up in New York and made her adult film debut there in 1989 when she was just 19 years old. A petite blonde with big breasts, Monroe had no trouble being cast in films. She went on to perform in the industry for 12 years before retiring in 2001 with more than 130 titles to her credit. Monroe worked with some of the most well known production companies of the time, including L.B.O. Entertainment, Caballero Home Video, Zane Entertainment Group, Bruce Seven Productions, and many more.
Notable Films and Niches
Over the course of her career, Monroe performed in a variety of niches, such as anal, interracial, lesbian content, and solo masturbation scenes. Her sister is porn star Tara Monroe and the two are often mistaken for one another. Notable films for Tami Monroe include Wet and Wild Tami Monroe (Caballero Home Video), Sexual Species (Zane Entertainment Group), My Secret Lover (Wicked Pictures), Anal Vision 6 (L.B.O. Entertainment), a lesbian performance in Girls Who Love Girls 17 (Vidco Entertainment), and a solo performance in Mellon Man 2 (Avica Entertainment).
Personal Life
Like many of her fellow porn stars, Monroe was unlucky in love. She married film musician Dana Strum in 1989, but unfortunately, that coupling ended in divorce just one short year later in 1990. She later married porn producer Charles Zicari, but again, the marriage ended divorce. But while her love life was tumultuous, her film career was smooth sailing. She was known for being easy to work with and had as much work as she could take on. She was recognized for her hard work when she was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame.

wikiHow to Get MySpace Friends Fast
Have you ever thought about why your friends have a greater amount of 'Myspace friends' than you? I've got some nice and easy tips of how to make a load of friends on Myspace.
1Make sure you have an appealing Myspace URL; The last thing you want is to look like a fool or some weird creep having a 30 character URL. Just keep it simple for example [firstname]_[lastname] or your nickname.. etc
2First impressions count! Be sure to have at least 3 pictures OF YOURSELF in an album. Just remember confidence is much more valuable than looks.
3Add some colour and music to your page. You want people being attracted to the page, and stay as long as possible, which brings me to my next point..
4Sharing information about yourself! When you add friends, you want them to learn as much as possible about you on that page. Things like hobbies, 'about myself' etc can get you new friends almost instantly!
5When you are satisfied with the above steps, you are ready to browse for friends... click the 'Friends' tab on the Myspace page, then click 'Browse'. You will then see a search panel dialog, which asks you for certain types of information. This is up to you to fill, and seek for friends in any country, from any age etc. Once the searches come up, click on the social networker's bio, and click add as friend.
Community Q&A

200 characters leftSubmit
- Having a very attractive page and having pictures of yourself increases the chances of your target(s) to accept your friend request.
- Just remember they will not always accept you right away, so be sure you check the last time they were signed in to give you an idea of how long it has been.
- Be responsible in your searching, no matter how much you may want more friends. Be careful about both avoiding people who might take advantage of you and about not putting undue pressure on others, especially if they're younger.

Do you have any evidens for your suggestion that 22 pairs of
autosomes is more significant than, for example 21 pairs of
autosomes, or 23 pairs of autosomes?
I don't know what you mean when you say that a human being is
more evolved than a potato. It sounds like a metaphysical value
judgment. The fact is that potatoes do many things that human
organisms cannot do. For example, they can extract energy from
sunlight and nutrients from soil. Those processes require large
and complicated networks of genes which human beings lack. In
general, plants have more genes than animals. There are very
good reasons for this which I don't want to take the time to
discuss at the moment. I will just mention a couple of points:
- The common garden potato has 24 pairs of chromosomes, for a
total of 48 chromosomes. Human beings have 23 pairs of
chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes - not very different
from the potato.
- The common garden potato is an autotetraploid, a kind of
polyploid. That means that a recent ancestor of the potato had
12 pairs of chromosomes (24 total), and through a mistake in
meiosis, it was doubled to 24 pairs of chromosomes (48 total).
(I'm oversimplifying this a bit, but there are many detailed
explanations on the web if you want to know more.) Many
commercially important crops are polyploids, including wheat,
maize, cotton, cabbage, tobacco, peanut, strawberry, and sugar
cane. The fact that polyploids have extra chromosomes is one of
the reasons why new varieties can be bred relatively quickly.
Plant breeding is human-directed evolution, and if polyploidy
speeds up human-directed evolution, it should also speed up
natural evolution.

STRATHROY -- One year you are the future saviour of a storied NHL franchise, the next you're just a recognizable name on a team's depth chart.
Welcome to the topsy-turvey world of Justin Pogge.
Just a year ago, Pogge arrived in Toronto as a national hero neatly wrapped in the Canadian flag.
He had backstopped Canada to a world junior title, earned honours as the top goalie in the Canadian Hockey League and was being counted on to be the Leafs' goaltending-star-in-waiting, so much so that highly coveted prospect Tuuka Rask was shipped to the Boston Bruins for Andrew Raycroft.
In the end, maybe all those lofty expectations were unrealistic all along.
"I knew I would not make the NHL in my first year," Pogge said yesterday. "I mean, I still tried my hardest at camp but it would have been stupid to think that."
Pogge broke into a wide grin. If his critics consider his first professional season to be a flop, he does not echo their opinions in the least.
Admittedly, he had more than his share of growing pains in his first taste of professional hockey and Pogge did not win his first home game as a Toronto Marlie until the season was several months old.
While he was at a local movie theatre, brazen thieves stole his sporty new car.
He was loaned to Pat Quinn's Canadian team for the Spengler Cup in Switzerland, where his mishandling of the puck led to the heartbreaking winning goal in the gold-medal game.
"S--t happens," he said. "It was still a great experience."
In the end, Pogge's numbers with the Marlies were not that bad. He finished with 19 victories, a 3.03 goals-against average and .896 save percentage and, most importantly, improved as the season went on.
Obviously not enough to keep him in the constant spotlight anymore, however.
With the opening of training camp just three weeks away, there is scarcely any buzz regarding Pogge when the subject of the Leafs' goaltending situation comes up.
You hear questions about just how good Vesa Toskala will be, which team Raycroft might be traded to, even the role newcomer Scott Clemmensen could play.
Pogge? He seems to be a mere footnote.
Pogge laughs at the theory that his slow start a year ago might have come from overconfidence due to reading too many of his own press clippings from junior.
"I don't read the papers," he said. "Whether good or bad things are written about you, they can fill your head with (crap).
"I learned that when the NHL lockout was on. I had just been traded to the Calgary (Hitmen) and we were a big deal out there.
"I started reading all the stuff and started walking with a bit of a swagger."
Enter Hitmen coach Kelly Kisio, a former NHLer.
"He told me to stop being so full of myself," Pogge recalled. "It really sunk in."
Pogge, Raycroft and Clemmensen are in Strathroy this week to train at the goalie school of Steve McKichan, who moonlights as the Leafs' netminding coach. Pogge, still just 21, is looking forward to working with Clemmensen, who is slated to be his goaltending partner and mentor with the Marlies.
"What I learned last year is not to try to make every save look spectacular," he said.
"It's okay to slow your game down and just let the puck hit you and not to do too much. It was one of the valuable lessons I learned in the AHL, which is a great league.
"My top goal is to make the Leafs this year.
"If that doesn't happen, then I'm aiming for 40 wins with the Marlies.
"I think I can do it."
That doesn't sound so stupid, Justin.
Not in this corner, anyway.

Training and Age-Biased Technical Change : Evidence from French Micro Data
We model and test the hypothesis that technical and organizational change may be biased againstolder workers. This may occur through a direct adverse effect on their productivity, or throughinsufficient training responses to change. We show that the impact of technical and organizationalchange on the optimal training profile and on the age of retirement is theoretically indeterminate.Using a French matched employer-employee data set, we find evidence that computerized firmsselect their older workers more. But modern firms also tend to train all their workers more,regardless of age. Technical change may thus explain a decline in the employment of older workersthrough a direct unfavorable impact on their productivity rather than through a comparativedisadvantage with regard to training.

B'nai B'rith blasts Lithuania for honors for Nazi-allied PM
B'nai B'rith International condemned the Lithuanian government's posthumous honor of Juozas Ambrazeviciu, the wartime prime minister who was a Nazi collaborator.
The Jewish organization has sent a letter to Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite in response to the Lithuanian government's plans to honor Ambrazeviciu, who was the prime minister of the 1941 Nazi-backed regime in Lithuania.
The Lithuania government is planning four days of events this month to honor the former prime minister, culminating in the reburial of his remains in Lithuania. Ambrazeviciu is buried in the United States, where he died in 1974.
B'nai B'rith President Allan J. Jacobs and Executive Vice President Daniel S. Mariaschin wrote Grybauskaite that the organization "deplores the glorification and reinterment—with full honors—of a man who headed Lithuania's Nazi-backed regime during the Holocaust."
"We call on you to cancel all public tributes to Ambrazevicius and to unequivocally condemn the role that he and his puppet government played in orchestrating the mass murder of Lithuanian Jewry," Jacobs and Mariaschin wrote. "Madam President, any ideology or movement that glorifies Nazism and minimizes the tragedy of the Holocaust must be forcefully opposed."

Sudden Death Overtime
Personally, I prefer paper-and-ink books to the electronic format. I like the way they feel. I like the way they smell. And I like the way they look on a bookshelf.
I like the electronic editions, too, just not as much. But there are distinct advantages to the electronic books: You can carry your whole library around with you, they're easier to dust, the pages don't yellow over time, and we're not decimating trees to print up the latest Stephen King doorstopper.
Also, it's more convenient to publish a novella or a short story on their own and not worry about the cost of printing and distribution. How many times in the past have you looked at an anthology and weighed the number of stories or authors in the collection that interested you, in comparison to the purchase price?
Generally, I scan the table of contents and mentally calculate, "I like that one, that one … oh, definitely that one … that writer I don't like … not a fan … like that one …"
Usually, if I'm lucky, one-third of an anthology is composed of writers I like, one-third of writers I don't like, and the rest, pleasant surprises. Sometimes, I discover new authors that way. Sometimes not.
But just like in the days when you were forced to buy a whole album for one or two songs you liked, now in our new, digital, one-click-purchase age, you can buy a song or a story, without a load of filler crap.
Steve Vernon has a new novella out (or "novelette," as he calls it), a slim, 52-pager that's only available on Kindle. It's a perfect format for it, because for $2.99, you get a cool little horror story. If it were printed on paper with a glossy cover and shipped through the mail to your house or the neighborhood bookstore, the purchase price would be at least $9.95 or above. And what would be the sense in that?
In SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME, we meet the residents of a small Canadian coastal town, a hybrid of Mayberry and David E. Kelley's PICKET FENCES and Jerusalem's Lot in 'SALEM'S LOT … and that's two King references so far. (I promise I'm done.) The residents care about drinking, smoking and hockey. Mostly hockey.
Into this middle-of-nowhere place comes a strange, black bus. The vehicle is filled with vampires, and not the brooding, tortured, anti-hero kind. They've come to feed on the plucky residents and the only people who can stand up to them, or who even know what's going on, are the over-the-hill ragtag former members of the local hockey team.
Vernon is one of those writers who is both writing good-old-fashioned horror stories, and also taking the genre into new and interesting territories. Like the best of the old pulp writers, he gives the readers a familiar setting and plot, and then pulls the rug out from under them.
In my review of his short-story collection DO-OVERS AND DETOURS, I called Vernon the product of a three-way sex romp between Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson and Robert Bloch. As proof, I offer you my favorite line from SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME:
"It looks like the Partridge Family bus after it got gangbanged by the Munsters's hearse and the Adams Family roadster in the middle of a nuclear paint storm…"
(Yes, I know ADDAMS FAMILY has two Ds. I copied the line verbatim.)
SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME also includes a short story and a preview of a gritty superhero tale Vernon penned. It's lean, mean and is designed for those of you, like me, who like horror stories with teeth (if you'll pardon the pun). It's ideal for a quick lunchtime reading fix, or a pleasant distraction for your train ride home. —Slade Grayson

If you interview employees during the course of investigating alleged misconduct, make sure to take accurate notes. Then, before concluding the interview, have the employee read and sign the notes, attesting that they accurately reflect what was said.
Advice: Don't let the employee put off signing. In the early stages of an investigation, she's likely to cooperate because she doesn't yet know the outcome. If she has time to think about it, she may not sign.
Recent case: Beheen worked as a scientist for a Florida water management district. One of her supervisors filed a sexual harassment complaint against her. He told the investigators that Beheen propositioned him for sex, sent him provocative notes and exposed her breasts to him in an effort to entice him into a relationship.
When the district interviewed Beheen, she denied the accusations and asserted that the two had actually engaged in a consensual sexual relationship. She did admit writing several notes discussing their relationship. She signed off on the interviewer's notes, agreeing that they accurately reflected who said what during the interview. Beheen ultimately lost her job.
She then sued, alleging she had been targeted because of her gender. She also claimed the investigation had been bogus and that the notes didn't reflect what she actually said during the interview. But the former employer showed the notes to the court.
The court said Beheen could not challenge the notes as an accurate account of the interview since she had signed them. That made it hard for her to deny that she essentially admitted propositioning the supervisor. (Moghaddam-Trimble v. South Florida Waste Management, No. 11-14040, 11th Cir., 2012)

The Glacier Grinds Closer: How Demographics Will Change Canada's Fiscal Landscape
The impacts of demographic change on Canada's fiscal landscape will be profound, and as we enter the second decade of the 21st century, they are no longer far away. If current patterns of spending in age-sensitive public programs - healthcare, education, elderly and children's benefits - persist as the population evolves, Canadians will divert more of their incomes from other public and private purposes to fund them. Discounted over 50 years, that increase amounts to an implicit liability of $2.8 trillion for governments, with essentially all the burden falling on the provinces and territories rather than on Ottawa.

Kazalnica is formed by a face in a ridge that comes down from Mieguszowiecki Szczyt Czarny (2398 m.) towards Czarny Staw pod Rysami (Black Pond below Rysy). The top of Kazalnica can be reached by a tourist trail that starts at Morskie Oko shelter and goes through a bank of Czarny Staw, then the top of Kazalnica and reaches Mieguszowiecka Przelecz pod Chlopkiem - a pass between Mieguszowiecki szczyt Czarny and Mieguszowiecki Szczyt Posredni (2393 m.).
The easiest route is 'Korosadowicz' chimney which is graded III, usually climbed in a winter because of rotten and usually wet rock. The second easy route is 'Lapinski' chimney graded VI-, which is one of the most popuar routes both in summer and winter conditions.
Getting There
From Zakopane drive by car or by bus to Polana Palenica (you can park your car there). Then go on foot 10 km to Morskie Oko (Eye of the Sea) shelter. Starting from the shelter take a tourist trail to Rysy. When you reach Czarny Staw (Black Pond) - turn right and surround it closely to the pond shore along a narrow, unmarked trail. Approach takes usually 1 hour from the Morskie Oko shelter. Climbers usually do not go as far as the top of Kazalnica - from the most of climbing routes they usually traverse to the right and reach the tourist trail that comes from Czarny Staw to Mieguszowiecka Przelecz pod Chlopkiem. Descending takes usually 1 hour from the point where you untie your rope, through the traverse and descend along the tourist trail to the Czarny Staw.
When To Climb
All over the year. Summer conditions are the best starting with early July till late October.
Stay in Morskie Oko shelter (open all year long, phone: +48 18 2077609) or - from July to August - at mountaineering camp at Wlosienica (10 minnutes below the shelter).

A. Transitioning From Previous Oracle Solaris 11 Releases to Oracle Solaris 11
Oracle Solaris 11 introduces the following key security changes:
Auditing – Auditing is a now a service and is enabled by default. No reboot is required when disabling or enabling this service. The auditconfig command is used to view information about audit policy and to change audit policy. The auditing of public objects generates less noise in the audit trail. In addition, auditing of non-kernel events has no performance impact.
For information about creating a ZFS file system for audit files, see How to Create ZFS File Systems for Audit Files in Oracle Solaris Administration: Security Services.
Basic Audit Reporting Tool (BART) – The default hash that is used by BART is now SHA256, not MD5. In addition to SHA256 being the default, you can also select the hash algorithm. See Chapter 5, Verifying File Integrity by Using BART, in Oracle Solaris Administration: Security Services.
Cryptographic Framework – This feature now includes more algorithms, mechanisms, plug-ins, and support for Intel and SPARC T4 hardware acceleration. Also, Oracle Solaris 11 provides better alignment with the NSA Suite B cryptography.
Kerberos DTrace providers – A new DTrace USDT provider that provides probes for Kerberos messages (Protocol Data Unit) has been added. The probes are modeled after the Kerberos message types that are described in RFC4120.
Key Management enhancements:
PKCS#11 keystore support for RSA keys in the Trusted Platform Module
PKCS#11 access to Oracle Key Manager for centralized enterprise key management
lofi command changes – lofi now supports the encryption of block devices. See lofi(7D).
profiles command changes – In Oracle Solaris 10, the command is only used to list profiles for a specific user or role, or a user's privileges for specific commands. In Oracle Solaris 11, you can also create and modify profiles in files and in LDAP by using the profiles command, See profiles(1).
sudo command – The sudo command is new in Oracle Solaris 11. This command generates Oracle Solaris audit records when running commands. The command also drops the proc_exec basic privilege, if the sudoers command entry is tagged as NOEXEC.
ZFS file system encryption – ZFS file system encryption is designed to keep your data secure. See Encrypting ZFS File Systems.
rstchown property – The rstchown tunable parameter that is used in previous releases to restrict chown operations is now a ZFS file system property, rstchown, and is also a general file system mount option. See Oracle Solaris Administration: ZFS File Systems and mount(1M).
If you attempt to set this obsolete parameter in the /etc/system file, the following message is displayed:
sorry, variable 'rstchown' is not defined in the 'kernel'
The following network security components are supported in this release:
Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and IPsec – IKE now includes more Diffie-Hellman groups and can also use Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) groups. IPsec includes AES-CCM and AES-GCM modes and is now capable of protecting network traffic for the Trusted Extensions feature of Oracle Solaris (Trusted Extensions).
IPfilter Firewall – IPfilter Firewall, which is similar to the open source IPfilter feature, is compatible, manageable, and now highly integrated with SMF. This feature enables selective access to ports, based on IP address.
Kerberos – Kerberos is now capable of mutual authentication of clients and servers. Also, support for initial authentication by using X.509 certificates with the PKINIT protocol has been introduced. See Part V, Kerberos Service, in Oracle Solaris Administration: Security Services.
Secure by Default – In Oracle Solaris 10, this feature was introduced, but was netservices limited and was also turned off by default. In Oracle Solaris 11, this feature is enabled. The Secure by Default feature is used to disable and protect several network services from attack and provides minimization of network exposure. Note that only SSH is enabled.
SSH – Support for host and user authentication by using X.509 certificates is now available.
The following security features are excluded from Oracle Solaris 11:
Automated Security Enhancement Tool (ASET) – The ASET functionality is replaced by a combination of IPfilter, which includes svc.ipfd, BART, SMF, and other security features that are supported in Oracle Solaris 11.
Smartcard – Smartcard support is no longer available.

CIA brings harassment out of shadows
Published 6:34 pm, Tuesday, June 10, 2014
Washington --
Fifteen CIA employees were found to have committed sexual, racial or other types of harassment last year, including a supervisor who was removed from the job after engaging in "bullying, hostile behavior," and an operative who was sent home from an overseas post for inappropriately touching female colleagues, according to an internal CIA document obtained by the Associated Press.
The examples, sent several weeks ago in an e-mail to the CIA's workforce by the director of the agency's Office of Equal Employment Opportunity, were meant to show how the agency is enforcing a zero-tolerance policy toward harassment. But the announcement sparked heated commentary in postings on the CIA's internal networks, officials acknowledged, with some employees arguing the agency does not sufficiently ferret out and punish misconduct.
The CIA's personnel systems seem to be fundamentally broken, and harassment frequently goes unreported, one officer said in an excerpt of an employee posting obtained by the AP.
- Durant after OKC lossSFGate
- San Francisco's most dangerous intersectionssfgate
- The Westin St. Francis Hotel's famous sugar castlessfgate
- Bear with 2 cubs spotted in Placer Countysfgate
- The Regulars: Mr. Rob Basssfgate
- Crows flocking around Vallejosfgate
- Windows of History: Video animation at SF housesfgate
- Salt & Straw features Thanksgiving ice cream flavors in San Franciscosfgate
- The walk to the Big GameSFGate
- UC Berkeley professor's 'Slaughterbots' video goes viralsfgate
CIA officials took issue with that assertion after agreeing to discuss the workforce message on the condition that they not be quoted by name.
The agency officials made available CIA Director John Brennan's March workforce message reaffirming the zero-tolerance policy, saying, "Words or actions that harm a colleague and undermine his or her career are more than just unprofessional, painful and wrong - they are illegal and hurt us all." Brennan assured employees that he would not tolerate acts of reprisal against those who complained of harassment.
The agency won't release its employee workplace surveys or details about complaints, on the grounds that such numbers are classified. The CIA takes that position even though the size of its workforce - 21,459 employees in 2013, not counting thousands of contractors - was disclosed in the "black budget" leaked last year by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
The message to employees on harassment, which CIA officials said was the first of its kind, said 15 out of 69 complaints in the 12 months ending Sept. 30, 2013, were found to be true.

I'm not much of a hand sewer, I love my machines. But with my daughter being sick, we could have some to alot of hospital trips for us in the future. There is a Hancock close to the hospital and what my mom and I did was pick out some fat quarter packs and we make a bunch of yo-yo's. I made a cute mug rug for my daughter to keep on her table for her drink and I made a caterpillar out of yo-yo's for her. She loves it. :)
I was thinking that maybe you guys could come up with other ideas for us to have a bag packed at all times and ready to go. I can't think of much to do on my own. I know you guys can come up with something more creative that what we were doing. Yo-yo's get boring after a so many days of doing them.

Arab foreign ministers meeting in Cairo Thursday rejected a key component of the Clinton plan when they insisted that Palestinian refugees had a "sacred" right to return to their former homes in Israel. Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak immediately retorted that his country would never allow some 4 million Palestinians to return, and warned that the alternative to a peace agreement was an endless cycle of violence between Israel and its Arab neighbors. Thursday's exchange left the continued exchange of views in Washington looking like little more than going through the motions of discussing a deal that appears to have become politically impossible.
The warnings against compromise on the refugees and on Jerusalem articulated by Egypt's foreign minister Amr Mousa on behalf of the Arab League states kicked the chair out from under Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Arafat had on Tuesday accepted "with reservations" President Clinton's negotiating framework, but the Cairo decision nixed a key component of the plan. Although it was never made public, the U.S. proposal was said to involve Israel withdrawing from all of Gaza and 95 percent of the West Bank, and recognizing Palestinian sovereignty in parts of East Jerusalem, including the Islamic holy sites atop the Temple Mount, in exchange for the Palestinians dropping their demand that some 4 million refugees be given the right to return to Israel.
Arafat in a box
The Arab position is a fatal blow precisely because of the role played by the governments of Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan throughout the peace process. They have traditionally created the political cover for Arafat to make compromises that his own people find unacceptable; now they're doing the opposite. The motivation of the moderate Arab leaders is twofold: To avoid falling foul of the mounting popular anger at the Israelis and Americans in their own countries and because many of them are faced with large Palestinian populations that they do not want to accommodate forever.
Running out the clock
The net effect of their decision has put Arafat in a box. He can't go down the road mapped by President Clinton without Arab support, because most Palestinians would balk at its provisions. And now, Arab rejection will reinforce Palestinian opposition to the plan, leaving Arafat very, very alone.
Not that the Palestinian leader was about to sign a deal, anyway. Both Arafat and the Israelis had been careful to agree to Clinton's plan "with reservations"; that way they could avoid being blamed for the inevitable failure of the U.S. leader's final peace effort as well as providing for a somewhat graceful exit.
The baton is passed to Bush
Now, of course, the problem is one for the next administration. And the incoming Bush White House will be handed something a lot more complex and dangerous than a peace process that simply requires a final push, as the Clinton spinmeisters like to suggest. The breakdown over the rights of refugees who've been prevented since 1948 by Israeli law from returning to Israel suggests that both Arafat and his Arab backers have been forced by the anger on the Palestinian and Arab streets to retreat from compromises they may have been prepared to make at an earlier stage of the peace process. And the intifada of the past three months has woken Israeli leaders up to the vast gulf between their own and their neighbors' ideas of the shape of an acceptable final settlement, which has set the Jewish state on a political swing back to the right. All of which leaves the region no closer to a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians than it was when President Clinton first came to power.

Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
In CA, what facts are looked at to determine if a corporate or LLC veil can be pierced? I am a member of a LLC and the LLc has been sued and I have too as an individual. How can the employee sue me if he only worked for the LLC? Thank you.
3 Answers from Attorneys
Well depending on what he is suing for, he may be asserting you have personal liability independent of the LLC. Just by way of example, in sexual harassment cases, the harasser is personally liable, and the employer is liable if they permitted it to go on. So each is sued for different wrongful conduct. You may also have been sued individually out of an abundance of caution by the plaintiff's attorney, in case the LLC didn't really exist or for some other reason the LLC is not a viable entity and you really are just part of a partnership. If they are, in fact, pleading that the LLC's "veil" should be "pierced," they are making an equitable claim and a large number of factors can be considered in deciding whether basic fairness requires looking behind the entity to its owners. The number one question, however, is always does the entity have sufficient assets to answer for the claim. If the entity can satisfy a judgement out of its own assets it is almost never appropriate to pierce the liability protections of the entity. If the entity has no meaningful assets, or will be put out of business and unable to pay a judgment in full, then the court has to look at a whole laundry list of factors to decide if the entity was operated as a completely arms length business independent of its owners, or if it was basically just run as a sole proprietorship or partnership with no genuine good faith existence separate and apart from the owners. A good article on what is considered can be found here: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/personal-liability-piercing-corporate-veil-33006.html
California law does not use the term "piercing the corporate veil." The concept is similar, but it is called "alter ego."
If the organization fails to properly conduct and document their management, it and the directors and responsible officers can get sued. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help fight and get the best outcome possible, using whatever defenses and sympathies there may be. It may be a situation you can get dismissed if the plaintiff doesn't have proper grounds for the case.

Last year I wrote an article (here) about Andrzej Bartkowiak ("Doom") signing up to direct the "Street Fighter" remake, basically a complete redo of the videogame movie. Not long after that, there was a new report (here) about Kristin Kreuk starring in a Street Fighter movie to be called "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li". As it turns out, it's the same movie, and now the cast is rounding out.
Kristin Kreuk, Michael Clarke Duncan, Chris Klein and Rick Yune will star in Hyde Park Entertainment and Capcom's "Street Fighter," based on the popular Japanese vidgame franchise. Twentieth Century Fox will distribute the actioner, set to begin lensing in March.
Kreuk, who plays Lana Lang in the CW's "Smallville," will star as martial artist Chun-Li. Duncan will play Balrog, while Klein is stepping into the role of Nash. Yune is taking on the mystical Gen.
Rounding out the cast are Moon Bloodgood, Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas, Singapore's Edmund Chen and Hong Kong film star Cheng Pei Pei.
The film's villain will be, like with the Jean-Claude Van Damme version, Bison, the guy with the big boots and equally big hat. The redo will focus on Kristin Kreuk's Chun-Li, and will film in Bangkok, Hong Kong and Vancouver. In the 1994 version, Chun-Li was played by ER's Ming Na Wen.
Well, you were hoping for a "Street Fighter" redo, weren't you?

DALLAS - Another huge domino fell today when the Marlins agreed to terms with left-hander Mark Buehrle on a four-year, $58 million contract.
The Orioles were in no danger of having their toes crushed. They weren't anywhere near Buehrle.
New executive vice president Dan Duquette says he won't go more than three years for a free-agent starting pitcher. Never has, never will.
I wanted the Orioles to jump into the Buehrle bidding, but he held out for a fourth year and got it from a team that's now spent $191 million on three players in less than a week.
The Marlins better fill that new ballpark every night and sell lots and lots of caps.
I guess Buehrle has an attachment to Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen. Wherever Guillen goes, he goes.
The Nationals were the other finalist for Buehrle, according to multiple reports. Perhaps they'll redirect their attention to Roy Oswalt, since they don't appear to have as much interest in C.J. Wilson.
Does the Buehrle signing take the Marlins out of the Albert Pujols derby? Does that mean he's staying in St. Louis, as a few reporters have speculated today?
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal was the first to report the Buehrle deal.
Going back to the Orioles, I've often stated that they have a better chance of trading for a pitcher than signing one, but I'm beginning to change my stance like I'm Cal Ripken Jr. They don't have much to offer if they're not going to dangle their core players or young pitchers, or if they'd rather hold onto Jeremy Guthrie.
I'm not a huge Edwin Jackson fan - though I'd love to own the moving company on his speed dial - but you'll find plenty of scouts and executives here who consider him a good fit for the Orioles and someone who's more attainable.
NOTE: Former executive Jim Bowden tweeted that the Nationals have interest in Orioles center fielder Adam Jones. I have interest in Salma Hayek, and that's not going anywhere, either.
There's a clear match between the "beltway rivals." The Nationals want a center fielder and they have pitching to spare, though not as much after failing to sign Buehrle. They also have second baseman Steve Lombardozzi. But executive vice president Dan Duquette keeps telling reporters that he wants to build around Jones, and suggested that talks on a contract extension could begin after the holidays.
The Nationals like Jones, Plenty of teams like Jones. That doesn't mean he's in play.
And neither is Hayek. I keep checking.

What is "Mad Cow" Disease?
Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), commonly called "mad cow disease," is a degenerative neurological disease of cattle that is caused by misfolded proteins (called prions) that build up in the central nervous system (CNS) and eventually kill nerve cells.
BSE is spread through certain cattle feed ingredients, which have been banned since 1997.
Back to Top
Beef Safety from BSE
The world's leading scientists, medical professionals and government officials agree that BSE is not a public or animal health risk in the United States:
Interlocking Safeguards
For more than 20 years the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been developing and implementing a robust system of safeguards to ensure a BSE-free food supply.
Tissues that could potentially carry BSE in an animal – including the brain and spinal cord – must be removed from cattle prior to processing, and therefore are not allowed into the food supply. This step along with other safeguards ensures BSE has no affect on public health.
The United States began an active BSE surveillance program in 1990 and, since its inception, more than 1 million cattle at greatest risk for BSE have been tested. USDA's ongoing BSE surveillance program tests approximately 40,000 high-risk cattle annually. This program is rigorous and exceeds international guidelines by 10 times.
Enhanced BSE Surveillance
In June 2004, USDA instituted a one-time expanded testing program to determine the incidence of BSE in the United States. From June 1, 2004 through Aug. 20, 2006, USDA tested 787,711 cattle and found just two BSE positives.
A scientific analysis of seven years of surveillance data found the estimated prevalence of BSE in the United States to be less than one infected animal per 1 million adult cattle.
Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
BSE is in a class of rare neurological diseases called Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE), some of which affect animals while others affect humans. Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) is a very rare human TSE that research from the United Kingdom has associated with consumption of products contaminated with CNS tissue from BSE-infected cattle. There have been about 200 cases of vCJD in the world (most of these in the U.K.) and zero cases associated with beef consumption in the United States.
Human TSE also include sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD or CJD), which is not related to BSE of vCJD. About 85 percent of CJD cases are sporadic with an annual incidence of about one case per 1 million population worldwide.
