Live Feed Recap, Sun-Mon, 8/1: Does This Mean Kmart Loves Me?
Its heartwarming to see a huge, faceless corporation make the first move. A little gift to soften her up; better yet, two or three. Then a card to express exactly how you feel. Those three little words: Mention our name! April got her loot, and the sponsor got its airtime. In television terms, its a perfect relationship.
Party Hard, Kmart-style
- April was treated to a birthday party by Big Brother. Gifts were furnished by Kmart: a purple leopard print camisole, a white leather belt with metal studs, and a digital camera with its own printer.
- After the party, Sarah (whose birthday was last week) was called into the Diary Room and told she would also get a camera.
- After a lockdown, the houseguests found quarters around the house. They put them in the gumball machine, and six of them received movie passes inviting them to compete in a luxury competition.
- Sarah, Jennifer and Rachel won; they watched Four Brothers, which hasnt yet been released to the public.
- Sarah took James off the block, and Maggie put up Janelle in his place.
Have we mentioned the sponsor enough times already? Sunday afternoon, not long after the houseguests had cooked an enormous brunch and eaten together, Big Brother called them in from a lockdown to a party, complete with a huge banana cake and two types of ice cream. April found a stack of gifts to open with a sign that read, Happy Birthday, April, from Kmart. April was near hysterical with happiness, and she excitedly wondered if she had just been made a spokesperson for Kmart. Does this mean Kmart loves me? she asked several times.
It was probably a bit of a surprise to Sarah, who had been given a Big Brother party the week before. Her presents were decorations, party hats, pizza and soda. No retro-80's tank top and tacky belt. Certainly no electronic equipment - a real gold nugget in a house with no television, radio, or phone privileges. Sure, Sarah looked a little nonplussed during the party, but did she blame April for her good fortune? April was worried that she would, so she found Sarah afterwards and graciously apologized for the windfall. Soon Sarah got word from the Diary Room that she would also get a camera from Kmart. Uh-oh, Aprils new boyfriend is already cheating on her!
Jujubees - So Luxurious
Sunday must be Big Brothers play day, because after another lockdown, the houseguests began to find quarters around the house. Like giddy schoolchildren, they crowded around the gumball machine to trade their coins for a prize. Someone (I never did figure out who) tried to hold onto more than one, but after a brief bout of fishtanks, Howie was provided with a quarter. The point was for each houseguest to have one quarter so that six invitations to compete in a luxury competition could be dispersed from the gumball machine. Maggie, Beau, Ivette, Rachel, Sarah and Jennifer got the nod; the others got necklaces and bracelets. April wished she had the chance to compete, and Ivette commented that she of all people should be content, since she got all that loot earlier in the day. Mrrrooowwrr! April and Ivette seem to be grating on each other lately.
The houseguests pile out to the backyard to watch the girls - oops, the girls plus Beau, if he even counts as a boy - attempt to screw in hundreds of light bulbs to spell out a phrase. It was soon apparent that the team of Sarah, Jennifer and Rachel were in the lead, and they pulled out a win. They must have had Sarah in mind when they invented the game, as soon she is hopping up and down in triumph in front of a lit up sign reading SOLD OUT. *clearing throat* Thats a hint, hamsters!
The HOH room was converted into a movie theater with only three seats but about thirty pounds of theater candy. The other hamsters are allowed to look over all the bounty, but when the movie starts they are shoved out of the room and can only imagine the girls enjoying the sugar. James frets that Sarah is pigging out on junk food where he cant keep an eye on her. Hes the kind of classy guy that likes to remind Sarah he will dump her if she gets fat. Not if she dumps you first, jerkoff.
Youre Not Going Home, James
When Sarah won the power of veto, everyone recognized that any promises they made just flew out the window. The house knew that she would use it to save her pair, and no one blamed either player. It was the only logical move; there was no reason to bank on the goodwill of their fellow houseguests. So why is the whole house whispering about Sarah and James at odd moments; even confirmed enemies like April and Kaysar?
April brings an idea to her group: what if they could approach Kaysar with - NO! says a chorus of voices before she can finish her sentence. But she persists, saying they might be able to use James machinations to their advantage by telling the other side he had been sending Sarah up to talk to Maggie and her group while James was down with Kaysars group. April has been having roundabout conversations with Kaysar, hinting that he needs to check his group for leaks. Now she wants to name names, and after much discussion involving the coasters for visual aids, they agree that it might be to their benefit to rat out James.
Maggie, Ivette, Beau, April, and Jennifer know that theyre considered the weaker players in the house. Only a couple of them have competed in veto competitions, and they havent won or even placed well so far. By pointing out James duplicity, they create a target larger than themselves. It should be noted that this plan isnt coming from Maggie, although she agrees they can use it; April is the one who wants to enlist Kaysars help. They all agree that Kaysar will be the one voted out, but they also are aware that Kaysar will leave detailed instructions for his minions to follow, like Cappy did. They really dont think Janelle or Howie will be able to come up with their own plans without Kaysar.
April finds Kaysar in the gold room, and asks him to bring out the hookah for a late-night treat. Kaysar, April and Beau settle down to smoke in the back yard, while Janelle and Rachel watch from across the yard. Rachel observes to Janelle that Beau and April are planning to vote out Kaysar, but have no problem sharing a hookah with him.
Little do they know, April invited Kaysar for an information swap under the disguise of a nicotine fix. She tells him specifically that James has been trying to work his way back into Maggies good graces by promising to put up Howie and Rachel if he wins HOH next week. In exchange, he wanted help during the POV competition. April tells Kaysar that they were always targeting James, but that they lost the chance to take him out when Sarah won the POV.
Kaysar puffs solemnly on the hookah, ruminating on James. Then he opens up a crack to April, admitting that hes had some suspicions. Pretty soon they are gabbing like old friends - well, very restrained old friends who have discovered a common foe, at least. April calls James evil and says Kaysar didnt get to know him the way Cappys crew did. She wonders if hes watching them talk right now, and they invent a cover story (as if the hookah wasnt enough). It turns out they were right to be paranoid, as James soon goes to the backyard and asks Janelle and Howie (swinging peacefully in the hammock) what the three smokers are talking about. Howie points out that all the backyard cameras are focused on the smokers, and James looks even more skittish. He scoffs that April is probably pleading her case. To the houseguest about to be evicted?
James is right to look nervous. April, in fact, is asking Kaysar that he pass along a proposal to the remainder of his team: that both sides of the house band together to oust James, no matter who wins HOH.
The Long Goodbye
Kaysar is a little down in the dumps, and he seems focused on one goal: instilling his plans in Janelle and Howie. He tells them over and over again to target James next week, no matter what. Forget about annoying Ivette, or the soon-to-be-powerless Maggie! Janelle and Howie agree to the plan to pretend they are friends with James. That way, if he wins HOH, they will support him in trying to get rid of Maggie. (James is highly paranoid about Maggie, because he knows she holds him responsible for losing Eric.) But if one of them wins HOH, they will put him on the block - and so will the other side of the house.
Kaysar grabs a few minutes with Maggie Monday morning and reaffirms the plan. He says that they can put up Janelle against James to keep the fiction up until the last minute. Later, Maggie recounts the offer to Ivette, April and Jennifer. Ivette looks dubious, but Maggie tells her they need to work with the other side next week. She points out that it just wont be possible to get out James without the help of the entire house.
Kaysar spent the day in talk with his two compadres, Janelle and Howie. But there were a few quiet moments when he seemed to be gazing at Janelle longingly...while she didnt return the look. She mentioned Michael a few times, asking Kaysar what Mike does in a typical day. It might have been a gentle reminder that shes trying to start a relationship with Michael, not Kaysar. Do you think Mike will think Im a gold digger? she asked at one point. Kaysar pointed out that after the editing job Michael undoubtedly got on the show, he wont believe anything Big Brother says about her.
Maggie and Her Troops
Maggie is alarmed by Ivettes increasing tendency to hang out with James. After a long session of coaster-tossing (which sounds like it should be a euphemism for something, doesnt it?), in which Ivette could be seen talking more than tossing, Maggie calls her to the HOH room to talk about it with the entire group: Beau, April, and Jen. They want to know why Ivette is talking so much to James; how can she even stand to be around him? (Im flashing back to Eric and Maggie confronting Ivette in the weight room. This isnt the first time Ivette has been bullied by her supposed bosom friends.) Ivette says that she never gives him any information, and that she is in control of the situation. You can see a few looks being exchanged, and when Ivette pops out to grab a water, Maggie says what they are all thinking: Hes gotten to her.
Later, in the midst of general conversation about life in the house, April brings up something that has been bugging her to Ivette: that shes been bring up Cappy all the time. Ivette looks sincerely suprised, and says she doesnt mention him all that much. Oh, yes you do! seems to be the general consensus. Maggie, Jen, and April all chime in with instances of Ivette mentioning how much she misses her Cappy. Apparently April and Ivette nearly came to blows over how to cook zuchinni a la Cappy. Even Beau agrees that Ivette needs to stop. Maggie tries to explain the concept that every time she mentions Eric, its a reminder to Maggie of her loss. (As if hes dearly departed. Forever. ) Ivette goes from defending herself hotly to sitting glumly on the floor, just taking it all in.
The conversation moves to other times Ivette has angered a fellow team member. Jennifer says that when she first entered the house, she heard that Ivette had called her insecure. Ivette tried to deny it, but Jennifer is certain about what she heard (since it was probably repeated by April, after all) and Ivette backs down. Pretty soon, Ivette tucks herself into her sleeping bag on the HOH floor quietly. Maggie tries to break the tension by saying that they all suck. Theyre the team of people who suck - weak, unable to compete, sniping at each other. Everyone hugs, and the bitter conversation is forgotten for the moment.
Monday evening winds down with Janelle reading Beaus bible on the couch, Kaysar studying his Koran, and Howie wandering around in his ripped bikini underwear. The crew in the HOH room are camped out on the floor, pretending to be comfortable, while Maggie complains that Jennifer is in the spacious bed with her, generating too much heat. Maybe shell kick her out before long; Maggie needs her space, you know.
I Wish That I Could Have Mikeys Girl
Yes, its true: Kaysar is getting starry-eyed around Janelle, who promises to win the game so she can take him and Michael to Greece. Michael? Oh yeah, Kaysars friend, who spent a week locking lips with Janelle. Kaysar graciously says he will allow them to go by themselves. Janelle says no, dont be silly! They should both come. Shell be happy to give them some alone time. Ha ha.
Kaysar does seem to be gazing longingly at Janelle at random moments. He coaches her on the game intensely, and its obvious that he cares greatly about future in the game. But he also gives her advice on her love life, and tells her often that he thinks shes beautiful inside and out...but that he doesnt want to be one of those guys that kisses up to her all the time. He tells her that she doesnt know what she wants - that she might come across the right guy and not even know it. *pregnant pause* Will you cook for me when we're married after you find out Michael isn't right for you?" he asks cheekily. Then there was this little exchange:
Kaysar: Mike is so lucky.
Janelle: Why?
Kaysar: He got to kiss you.
Janelle: Oh, shut up.
See you after eviction night! firstname.lastname@example.com

Sound designer Matt Bauer about Unsecured Loan II
Juliane contacted you to do the sound design for Unsecured Loan II after having seen your work on youtube. What was your first reaction and why did you decide to join the project?
I was pleasantly surprised. I'm an Australian living in California & I just received an email from a film director in Jakarta about a film shot in Malaysia. That doesn't happen every day. It's cool that by simply putting up some samples of my work on youtube, I've been given the opportunity to be a part of a great project that was a lot of fun to work on. I've always been interested in martial arts and martial arts films. When I was younger I studied Tae Kwon Do for 12 years and taught for about 3, so when the opportunity came up to work on a Martial Arts short, I jumped at the chance.
Unsecured Loan II involves a lot of fight sounds. Many people in the indie film scene have difficulties to find good sound designers on a low budget and end up doing the fight fx themselves. Do you have any tips and tricks you'd like to share for proper fight sound fx?
I guess I'd have to say that sound design (and mixing) are specialized fields that require various skill sets, just as is the role of the DOP, or Makeup Artist, for example. Anybody can pick up a camera, point it and press record, but might not end up with a shot that is technically or artistically adequate. I could pick up a brush and apply make-up to someone's face, but the results might look frightening. The same goes for sound design. It's often forgotten about until the last minute, or a lot of people try to do it themselves, but it's a craft just like any other and it requires a lot of technical audio engineering knowledge to create great sound, as well as the creative aspect of it. Unfortunately there are many more great sound designers out there than there is enough work to go around, so I'd suggest contacting someone who's work you admire and discussing your project and budget limitations. Quite often they'll be willing to work within your limits. If you plan your production schedule out far enough in advance, you might be able to negotiate that your project is worked on during their down time. You may get your deliverables slowly over time, but it's one method to consider if you're well organized and can give a clear brief.
Unsecured Loan's post wasn't easy: you are based in California, composer Paul in the Netherlands and director Juliane lives in Jakarta. How did this affect your work?
This certainly presents some challenges. When we need to make a creative decision it's not as easy as all listening together in the same room & discussing our options. It generally involves emails, sending temp mixes for review, or a quick video conference. Sometimes the time differences can be a blessing in disguise. While I'm sleeping, a composer or editor is working during their daytime, so when I wake up the next day I have an update waiting for me in my inbox. The same goes for when I finish a temp mix, the director wakes up the next day to an update waiting for her. With iChat (or Skype) and a fast FTP site or other method of transferring files, it's not so difficult to achieve a good result. With the tight deadline we had on Unsecured Loan II, in reality we were mostly awake through the night anyway, so as soon as I sent something out, I received feedback very quickly.
Is there something like a dream project you have, something you'd say I'd die to do the sound fx for?
I love any action based project, and I also love working to animation. You can get away with pushing the boundaries of reality just that little bit further. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work on a dream project recently, as cinematic sound designer and mixer for the game "Darksiders". We were given a lot of creative freedom and the quality of animation to work with was outstanding, as was the script and voice acting. To choose another dream project, I'd say to be part of a Pixar project would definitely be rewarding.
Thanks Matt! 🙂

Sir Alex Ferguson [2] has hinted at serving a further "two or three years" as Manchester United [3] manager before suggesting Pep Guardiola [4], Jose Mourinho [5] or David Moyes [6] as his potential replacements.The Scot has enjoyed a glittering career with the Red Devils, leading them to 12 Premier League titles, two Champions League triumphs and five FA Cups in his 26 years at the club.And, despite having celebrated his 71st birthday on New Year's Eve, the former Aberdeen boss is not ready for retirement yet. "I'm hoping to stay for a bit of time. There is no one on the agenda, I can assure you," he told reporters."It's very difficult as names have been bandied about and football is precarious. You could be talking about one of the potentially exciting young managers - is he going to be here in two years?"I think top managers will always be in demand - Guardiola, Mourinho, David Moyes, there are a lot of successful managers out there and I don't know what their plans are."Who knows where they will be in two or three years."As Goal.com exclusively revealed in September, Sir Alex has turned his attentions to identifying a suitable successor and has earmarked Guardiola and Mourinho as two able candidates.However, with United cementing their seven-point lead over champions Manchester City with a resounding 4-0 win at Wigan on New Year's Day, Ferguson is clearly still enjoying the rigours of management."It was a perfect start to 2013. It has given us a seven-point lead with 17 games left," he added.

Arthayantra.com informs about the six important things to be kept in mind while going for a home loan.
Nitin Vyakaranam
Buying a home is an important personal finance decision for every individual. Before applying for a home loan and paying your processing fee, make sure you analyze the following aspects:
Also read: Does it make sense to opt for a joint home loan?
Know your maximum loan eligibility
The loan amount depends on income and track record for repaying loans and credit card dues. Home loan lenders generally provide 80 percent of the value of the property as the loan amount, subject to your income.
While assessing the income criteria, they do not consider some of your payslip heads for calculating your net monthly income. They only consider the income heads which can be used to repay your loan.
For example, your leave travel allowance (LTA) and medical allowances are deducted from the monthly net salary you receive. You are expected to spend the amount received under these heads for the specific activities they are being provided for.
This is one of the reasons why we generally see a difference in the eligibility amount quoted in the website and actual amount realized once the application is processed.
Check your CIBIL Score
The home loan eligibility depends on credit worthiness of the individual. Credit Information Bureau India Limited (CIBIL) provides a credit score on a scale of 300 to 900 based on your previous credit card usage, bank accounts, cheque bounces, existing loans, uninsured existing loans, loan repayments, how many times you have applied for loan or a credit card.
Individuals with a CIBIL score greater than 700 are more likely to get a home loan. All the home loan lenders approach CIBIL for this score whenever you apply for a credit card or any sort of loan.
Paying the processing fee to know the maximum limit at more than 3 or 4 banks is one of the common mistakes committed by many people. The more times you apply for loan, CIBIL considers it as being credit hungry so the chances of getting a loan are minimized.
CIBIL rating, net salary excluding some variable heads and existing loans and EMIs being paid towards existing loans are the vital components which decide the repayment capacity of the applicant.
Type of Interest Rate
The type of interest rate you choose has an impact on the monthly EMI's you pay. It is important that you know the difference between fixed rate home loan and floating rate home loan.
If you opt for fixed rate home loan, the EMI's don't vary over the loan tenure. It is beneficial when the interest rates are expected to rise in the near future. In case of floating rate, home loan interest rate is determined based on the prevailing base rates plus a floating rate.
The EMIs vary based on the movement of base rates. It is beneficial when interest rates are expected to fall in near future.
Different banks offer different interest rates on home loans. Negotiate with them to get the best possible rate.
Loan Tenure:
The EMI is calculated on the basis of amount of home loan, home loan interest rate and loan tenure. The monthly EMI is inversely proportional to loan tenure i.e. the longer the tenure lower the EMI and shorter the tenure, the higher the EMI.
Similarly, the total interest paid is directly proportional to the loan tenure. Higher the tenure, higher the total interest paid and vice versa. Know the impact of your EMI payments on your finances before deciding on the loan tenure.
Calculate the available surplus under different scenarios and assess the available monthly surplus for each scenario.
Read the documents carefully before you sign
Don`t let the bunch of home loan documents bog you down and make you just sign on the dotted lines. Check the documents to ensure that the terms are same as what you negotiated and agreed upon.
Read the documents carefully and know the different charges applicable. Importantly, know the processing fee, late payment fee and any charges that are applicable for pre paying the loan.

SEDASYS Computer-Assisted Personalized Sedation System; Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Incorporated's Petition for Review of the Food and Drug Administration's Denial of Premarket Approval; Notice of Cancellation of Meeting
AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The meeting of the Medical Devices Dispute Resolution Panel scheduled for December 14, 2011, is cancelled. This meeting was announced in the Federal Register of November 21, 2011 (76 FR 71980).
Nancy Braier,
Center for Devices and Radiological Health,
10903 New Hampshire Ave.,
Bldg. 66, rm. 5454,
Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002,
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The meeting of the Medical Devices Dispute Resolution Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee scheduled for December 14, 2011, is cancelled. On December 14, 2011, this advisory committee was slated to discuss the Center for Device and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) denial of a premarket approval application (PMA) for the SEDASYS computer-assisted personalized sedation system (SEDASYS) submitted by Ethicon Endo-Surgery Inc. (EES), the sponsor for SEDASYS. This meeting has been cancelled because EES has withdrawn its petition for review of this denial.
On February 26, 2010, CDRH issued a letter to EES indicating that PMA P080009 for SEDASYS was not approvable under § 814.44(f) (21 CFR 814.44(f)) because CDRH concluded that the data and information offered in support of the PMA did not provide a reasonable assurance that the device is safe under the conditions of use prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the proposed labeling, as required by section 515(d)(2)(A) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360e(d)(2)(A)).
On March 25, 2010, EES requested review of the not approvable letter. Submitted in the form of a petition for reconsideration under 21 CFR 10.33 (see 21 CFR 814.44(f)(2)), EES's petition stated that, in accordance with § 814.44(f), EES considered the not approvable letter to be a denial of approval of PMA P080009 under § 814.45 (21 CFR 814.45). In accordance with section 515(d)(4) of the FD&C Act, EES requested review of this denial under section 515(g)(2) of the FD&C Act. Subsequently, on October 26, 2010, CDRH issued an order denying approval of the SEDASYS PMA (Denial Order), as required by § 814.45(e)(3). On November 5, 2010, in accordance with section 515(g)(2) of the FD&C Act, FDA granted EES's petition for review of the Denial Order.
FDA's Office of the Commissioner (OC) referred PMA P080009 and the basis for CDRH's Denial Order to the Medical Devices Dispute Resolution Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee, an advisory committee of experts established, in part, to receive referrals of petitions for advisory committee review under section 515(g)(2)(B) of the FD&C Act. (See 76 FR 15321, March 21, 2011.) In the Federal Register of November 21, 2011, FDA announced that this advisory committee was scheduled to meet to discuss the clinical and scientific issues raised by CDRH's Denial Order on December 14, 2011.
By letter dated November 28, 2011, EES notified OC that EES "withdraws its request for administrative review" of that order "through an independent advisory committee under Section 515(g)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act." Because EES has withdrawn its petition for review of CDRH's denial of approval of the SEDASYS PMA, OC regards the matter it initiated closed and is, accordingly, canceling the previously mentioned meeting of the Medical Devices Dispute Resolution Panel scheduled for December 14, 2011.
Dated: November 30, 2011..
Leslie Kux,
Acting Assistant Commissioner for Policy.

Kerry Washington has been globe trotting for the release of 'Django Unchained' but what we've all been paying attention to is her style. We're absolutely loving it.
Here she is at the Monday night premiere in Berlin, Germany. She's wearing a two-tone natural white and beige patch work gown. Just beautiful. And we're loving the head head piece.
Here's Washington again at the Rex cinema in Paris in a strapless floral black and sea green dress. The dress isn't glamorous but with her hair swept up in a cute bun with light but natural looking makeup it all goes so well together.
And here she is with one of her earlier looks in Rome. This time we see a mixture of patterns, from patchwork (in this season) to a floral and bouffant mixture. The dress is being but not overbearing. She looks great.
Which of the three is your favorite look?

Chaske Spencer Set To Host A Special "Be The Shift" Book Launch Event At The Chelsea Room
Chaske Spencer, star of Twilight Saga's New Moon and Eclipse will host the "Be the Shift" charity event and book launch of "THE PROMISE EFFECT: HOW TO CREATE A LIFE THAT WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN ANYWAY" on November 8th, 2010.
November 1, 2010 (Newswire.com) - New York City, NY- On Monday, November 8th, actor Chaske Spencer, star of The Twilight Saga film series: New Moon and Eclipse is set to host "The Promise Effect" book launch event, with all proceeds to benefit non-profit organizations, Be the Shift and The PRASAD Project. Be the Shift is dedicated to empowering celebrities to use their influence to make a lasting difference in their own communities, which then creates shifts that they want to see in issues that matter to them personally. The PRASAD Project, operates health, education and sustainable development programs in India, dental care in the United States and eye camps in Mexico.
This "Be the Shift" book launch event, hosted by Spencer, in addition to launching the book "THE PROMISE EFFECT: How to Create a Life That Wasn't Going to Happen Anyway," written by Susan Elfer Woldman and Josselyne Herman-Saccio (Chaske Spencer's talent manager and business partner) will help raise awareness for the movement and enable people to create new futures through their own community projects. Chaske's personal "Be the Shift" project is designed to generate support for the snowstorm disaster victims from South Dakota's Lakota Sioux tribe. Spencer, who is a Native American from the Lakota Sioux tribe in Idaho and Montana, was compelled to help after hearing of the disaster. In less than a day, Spencer produced a PSA through his production company Urban Dream Productions, enlisting the assistance of his celebrity friends to raise awareness and support to those who have been without power and water for weeks. The PSA urged individuals to "shift the power to the people" and help to empower everyone to create sustainable, lasting change in their communities and countries.
This event will give attendees the chance to voice the shifts they would like to see in their own communities and will help raise money for the BE THE SHIFT movement and The PRASAD Project, whose offices are located in upstate New York.
In addition, Mozes entertainment, whose tag line is "TURN PASSION INTO ENGAGEMENT," has partnered to launch a mobile campaign simultaneously. Utilizing cutting edge technology, people can text BETHESHIFT to 66937 in order to sign the mobile petition and join the BE THE SHIFT movement.

ABOUT PRASAD Children's Dental Health Program
Few realize that dental disease is the number one chronic disease of childhood, and the principal cause of school absenteeism in the USA, with 51 million classroom hours lost annually. PRASAD Children's Dental Health Program is located in upstate New York, where rural poverty persists just 90 miles north of New York City. The few dental providers who accept Medicaid, coupled with a lack of public transportation creates a barrier between access to dental care and the children who need it. PRASAD Children's Dental Health Program's mission is to provide comprehensive dental care and education to children from low-income families. At the heart of the program is a mobile dental clinic, which allows us to bring dental services to children at their schools. This mobile clinic removes obstacles for parents who have no transportation or who cannot afford to miss work to take children to the dentist. Without PRASAD Children's Dental Health Program, many children would go without dental care. PRASAD Children's Dental Health Program in rural Sullivan County, NY, is a nonprofit organization providing comprehensive dental treatment and dental health education to underserved children with its mobile dental clinic. Established in collaboration with schools, local government and public and private agencies, it has served more than 60,000 children since 1996.

Gambia president: 'Gays are vermin that must be dealt with like mosquitoes'
Yahya Jammeh, who said he would behead a LGBT person on sight, has said he will not let the Western threat to cut aid to stop his hunt on the LGBT community
Gambia's President Yahya Jammeh has called gay people 'vermin' that must be dealt with like mosquitoes.
On state television to mark the 49th anniversary of Gambia's independence from Britain yesterday (18 February), he said he would 'aggressively' deal with homosexuals and compared the LGBT community to a disease.
His comments come as Uganda and Nigeria are in the process or have enacted harsher homophobic laws.
'We will fight these vermins called homosexuals or gays the same way we are fighting malaria-causing mosquitoes, if not more aggressively,' Jammeh said, according to Reuters.
Britain and some other Western nations have threatened to cut aid to governments that pass anti-gay laws.
Jammeh said his country would defend its sovereignty and Islamic beliefs.
'We will therefore not accept any friendship, aid or any other gesture that is conditional on accepting homosexuals or LGBT as they are now baptised by the powers that promote them,' he said.
'As far as I am concerned, LGBT can only stand for Leprosy, Gonorrhoea, Bacteria and Tuberculosis; all of which are detrimental to human existence.'
Jammeh, who seized power in a 1994 coup, has previously branded gays a threat to humanity. He has also described LGBT people as satanic, anti-God and anti-human.

Kogeto Brings Panoramic Video to iPhones With Its Dot iCONIC Lenses
(Page 2 of 2)
raise $3 million in a Series A round, Glasse says he want to keep his company lean in terms of outside funding. "It builds discipline you can't get any other way." he says. "When you take $30 million and you don't have a plan, you end up thrashing around."
Currently Dot is only built to work with the iPhone 4 family of smartphones, though Glasse says work is underway to rollout versions for certain Android phones by the first quarter 2012. He says he will target Android smartphones with at least 1080p video resolution, such as the Samsung Galaxy S line rather than attempt to outfit all the models on the market. Though the iPhones shoot video at 720p resolution, Glasse says the sensors in those smartphones deliver the necessary quality for panoramic videos.
Kogeto manufactures its products in Rochester, NY, a decision Glasse says lets his company better manage quality than it could if it used overseas resources. Kogeto has a staff of 14 supplemented by consultants and contract engineers, Glasse says. Kogeto is looking to fill two additional positions.
While Glasse says his company can be more responsive by manufacturing stateside, there are still some challenges he wants to tackle. "I wish we were producing more units a day," he says. "We also want to get the price of our materials down."
Glasse is not overly territorial, however, when it comes to bringing Dot to the masses. Kogeto is open to working with third party manufacturers, he says, who would build their own products using Dot's lens attachment.
More features are in development, Glasse says, including technology that would let users see when other Dot-equipped smartphones nearby are recording the same event. For example, users attending the same football game could capture and share the same play but from different perspectives in the stadium. That, Glasse says, would allow them to create a combined image shared on the Web and viewed from multiple angles, much like a special effects shot from the movie The Matrix. That sharing feature is expected to be ready by the first half of 2012.
Glasse says he hopes to develop the technology to the point where viewers feel as if they are sitting alongside the users shooting the videos. And he's hopeful that by starting with the iPhone 4 line, Kogeto will quickly reach a large enough audience to give Dot a big head start in the market. "With one device," he says, "we can target 100 million users."

Alumni upate:
Keaton Ellerby (2004-2008) has been playing this season for the Winnipeg Jets of the NHL.
The first round pick of the Florida Panthers spent his first three seasons of pro hockey in the AHL before jumping into the NHL as a full-time player. Ellerby is now in his fifth NHL season and is playing for his third NHL team after stints with the Panthers and the Los Angeles Kings. In 194 career NHL games, Ellerby has collected 25 points and 88 penalty minutes.
Ellerby played in 213 games with the Blazers recording 38 points and 347 penalty minutes over three and a half seasons.
It was quite the week for four prospects as they all got a taste of WHL action with the Blazers this week.
Quinn Benjafield was the Blazers 1st round pick in 2013 and played his first WHL game in Vancouver on Wednesday night. The 6'1" and 165lb forward was solid playing a regular shift with veterans Joe Kornelsen and Matt Bellerive. The 15-year-old Benjafield has had a good season in the B.C. Major Midget League with 17 goals and 39 points in only 29 games this season.
Cam Reagan played two games with the Blazers this week and finished +1 playing a regular shift with defenseman Ryan Rehill. The 6'0" and 200lb defenseman was selected by the Blazers in the 4th round in 2012. The 16-year-old is playing with the Sherwood Park Kings of the Alberta Midget Hockey League. In 31 games, he has 20 points this season.
Jake Kryski played two games with the Blazers this week and has now played four games with the Blazers this season. The 15-year-old has elite speed and is dynamic with the puck creating two great chances at home against Kelowna with his speed but failing to score. He was acquired by the Blazers in July 2013 from the Prince Albert Raiders in exchange for overage goaltender Cole Cheveldave. Kryski has 33 points in 29 games this season with the Okanagan Rockets of the B.C. Major Midget League.
Deven Sideroff may have made the most impact of the young prospects this week. He suited up for four games this week and finished with three assists in his stint with the Blazers. The 16-year-old was dynamic on a line with fellow 16-year-old Nick Chyzowski and 17-year-old Collin Shirley. The trio combined for three goals on the weekend against the CHL's top team, the Kelowna Rockets. Sideroff has 55 points in 33 games this season with the Okanagan Hockey Academy Midget Prep team.

Last night, I accompanied my step-mother to Nordstrom's "Private Shopping Event". If any of you are wondering how bad my shopping issues are, you should know that Lynne was the invitation owner, not me! Last year, Nordstrom did a shopping event for Microsoft employees (with a chocolate fountain...I kid you not), but that one was really more geared around kids stuff (taking pictures with Santa, um, the chocolate fountain which I actually saw little fingers dipping into...gross). The event last night was different and I'd say an ingenious way to get people to spend money. Also, I must be an easy target.
Nordstrom closed off the store from the mall. The event was invite only. At 7:00 champagne was served and it kept flowing the whole time (let's just say I got my fill...servers were wandering around with bottles). Let's just say that impulse buying is a little more palatable when you've got a bubbly little champagne buzz going on. Hand-passed appetizery stuff. Free shipping on purchases (no need for me...I bought for myself). Extra Nordstrom points (which basically net out to 10% credit back on purchases). Great musicians playing jazzy holiday music (not the annoying kind...wait, is that just me?)
Anyway, if you've never had someone bring you a fresh glass of champagne in the dressing room (trust me, it helps you get over the bad lighting), you are missing out.
Let's just say I splurged a little. It was pretty awesome. I have to wonder how much Nordstrom makes on an event like that. I spent plenty and I couldn't have had THAT much champagne (OK, I did wake up a little parched this morning). Great marketing tool!

These aerial photographs of Snowdon and Snowdonia were taken early in 2008 on a very clear day. The Images were
done on a Canon 5D professional digital camera using top of the range canon f2.8
professional lenses. After 10 years taking aerial photographs I can line each
image up for a nice view even while traveling at 100mph in turbulence and pulling
2G, helped by the fact I was flying with the UKs best aerial photographic pilot.
The images are reduced from an original 4368 pixels to 800 for the web but I have
one sample aerial
photo of Snowdon(click here) Purchased prints individually printed for
each order by a top professional professional photographic laboratory (Loxley
Colour in Scotland). Each print is produced on proper gloss photographic paper
and nothing is printed by Ink jet. Even the poster size prints are a real photograph
and not a mass produced newspaper quality thing. The quality is the same as high
quality wedding photographers produce which is what the lab mainly prints.

WELLINGTON — The former curriculum director of Wellington Schools said his time with the district was marred by threats and intimidation, which took a toll on his mental and physical health.
The curriculum director, Chris Kamenski, resigned June 30 after 16 months at Wellington Schools. In a letter of resignation to the district, he wrote that he was resigning because of "hostile and abusive working conditions," and he said several disparaging remarks were made by the former superintendent, Francis Scruci, current Superintendent John Nolan and several district administrators and board members.
Nolan dismissed the allegations, saying that Kamenski is merely an "unhappy employee" who has issues with numerous employees at the district.
"Nobody's buying into it," he said.
But during a school board meeting Tuesday night, board member Ayers Ratliff said he found issue with some of Nolan's alleged comments that were recorded secretly by Kamenski during an administration meeting — a tape Ratliff said he heard in which Nolan allegedly refers to an employee as a "bag lady." Ratliff brought up the issue during a discussion of a suspension without pay that the woman was facing.
"John, I'm sorry, but you have dirty hands, and you have dirtied our hands in this," he said.
Ratliff also disagreed with board members, who voted not to allow Kamenski to continue speaking after the allotted five minutes he was given to address the board.
"Freedom of speech is the most important right that we as citizens have," he said. "It is sickening that a board president asks people, 'Do you want to support the First Amendment right of the United States of America?'"
The district's attorney, Kim Meyers, said board policy allows the school board to limit public speaking time. Board member Sally Stewart added that Kamenski had made slanderous and derogatory statements, so board members didn't need to listen to him.
Kamenski, who spoke to The Chronicle-Telegram prior to the board meeting, said there were problems at the school district before Nolan's arrival a year ago, but his problems with Nolan began after Nolan made statements about an employee during an administration meeting, calling her a "bag lady."
"I sent him an email saying that I was offended by his comments," he said, adding that Nolan never responded to the email.
Nolan admitted to referring to the employee as a "bag lady," but he said Kamenski took the comments out of context. He said the group was discussing the woman's employment and problems related to the way she dressed, in which Nolan said she "looks like a bag lady."
Nolan said he has since apologized to the employee for the remarks.
Kamenski said after he confronted Nolan about the comments, Nolan gave him several "unsatisfactory" ratings in an evaluation Dec. 20.
Nolan wrote in Kamenski's evaluation, "Chris, every administrator is so frustrated by your total lack of cooperation. We as administrators do not know what you do or even know where you are. … Every building administrator is frustrated because you are not engaged in curriculum and grade-level team meetings."
Nolan also wrote that Kamenski failed to follow through on his plans and did not cooperatively work with the administration. Kamenski was asked to develop a "growth plan" to address the deficiencies noted by Nolan, and he was asked to present the plan to Nolan by Jan. 4.
Kamenski said he has never received an unsatisfactory rating before, and he believed confronting Nolan about his comments led to the poor evaluation. He said Nolan had given him a "pretty glowing review" for a letter of recommendation that he had requested in October.
Nolan said he wrote the letter, which was not dated, after Kamenski's evaluation. Despite the poor reviews, he said he wanted Kamenski to be successful.
"After he received his December evaluation, he contacted me … I want people to be successful and be where they can be successful," he said.
Nolan said Kamenski had some strong attributes, which he focused on in the letter. He said he does not understand why Kamenski is lashing out against the school district, given that he was hired at a new job in Michigan.
Kamenski, who also accused Nolan of calling him a "whipping boy" and making disparaging comments about his religion, accused the school district of rigging an investigation into Nolan's alleged misconduct by hiring an attorney from a firm the school has used before for a bond issue.
Nolan said while the school has worked with the law firm, it has never worked with the attorney, Elaine Brown, of Squire Sanders, who was hired to complete the investigation.
"It was an extremely thorough and very, very, very impartial," he said. "She questioned me for two hours."
Nolan said the investigation found no merit to Kamenski's complaints.
The school district is moving ahead to hire a new curriculum director, according to Nolan. A contract with the Lorain County Educational Service Center for a new curriculum director was discussed in an executive session after Tuesday's school board meeting.

Sure, there's Jake Long's bulging muscles and Jason Taylor's drive and Vernon Carey's, um, fat -- but the most valuable part of the Dolphins is riding around on a golf cart and answering to "Tuna."
Forbes, who can and will put a price tag on anything (next month: feelings, colors), has assigned one to Executive VP of Football Operations Bill Parcells: $300 million. That's the difference between the value his last three employers -- the Jets, Patriots, and Cowboys -- would have added based on average league appreciation ($700 million) and what they gained instead with Parcells on board ($1 billion).
While he says it's just a coincidence -- "I came along at a time when values were on the upswing" -- anyone who's seen him take a team mired in mediocrity and buried in debt to Super Bowl contention knows he's just being modest. Parcells is a phenomenal evaluator of talent, a master rebuilder, and a guy who commands loyalty from his players in an age of faster food and freer agents. In other words, he can exponentially increase the value of a franchise by winning -- without getting pushed around by the salary cap or forcing owners to resort to stadium construction projects.
Dolphins fans already know that, and know that with the $350 million Miami owed in debt, spiraling season ticket sales (61,000 in 2006 to 47,000 in 2008), and only 1 win in 2007, they're lucky to have him. Buyer Stephen Ross brought new capital to what Wayne Huizenga had plunged into financial distress, but he also brought kittens, no sports ownership experience, kittens, a narrow view of what Miami's all about, kittens, and some seriously cockamamie marketing schemes that are threatening to separate fans from their sanity (having already humiliated them in sports bars).
That's where the Tuna's added value lies: ask around town what Fins fans think is the best thing their team has going, and most will say either Parcells or the coach he brought in, Tony Sparano. When there's so much to find disenfranchising -- genuflecting at the orange carpet, say -- coupled with a need to drive values up for long-term security, there's no doubt it's a faith in Parcells that keeps people hanging on, forking over, and enduring the heat on Sundays.
Take that, lifeless eyes of Jennifer Lopez!

Moderator: Tom Haudricourt will begin taking your questions at 2 p.m. ET
|tom from san francisco, ca asks:
Do you see Corey Hart staying at third base, or are the Brewers going to trade him?
Tom Haudricourt: Tom, I don't think Corey Hart's future in the big leagues is at third base. I think it'll be in the outfield, or maybe at first base, depending on what happens with Prince Fielder. Corey may surprise me and get better defensively, but I'm not sure he'll ever be big-league caliber at third.
|Brewfan from Southern California asks:
The Brewers thought enough of Chris Saenz to put him on the 40-man roster...is he among the top 30, or just another arm?
Tom Haudricourt: I probably should have included Saenz in my newest top 30. They really like his arm, and he pitched under tough circumstances at High Desert. Next year could be huge for him.
|Brewfan from So Cal asks:
Tony Gwynn, Jr., has been compared to his father, but though everyone loves his defense, some seem to feel his bat looks more like that of Chris Gwynn. Who is a fair comparison outside the Gwynn family?
Tom Haudricourt: Tony does not appear to have the offensive talents of his dad, to this point. He's a superior defensive player, which probably means he'll be a fourth outfielder in the majors. But who knows? He held his own in Class A this year. I haven't seen enough of him to pick a player to compare him to just yet. I do think he has potential, though. And, like his dad, he's a great guy.
|Brewfan from So Cal asks:
Since Jack Z took over the drafting, Brewers faithful have become accustomed to plum prospects coming after the first five rounds: Corey Hart, Tom Wilhelmsen, Dennis Sarfate, Steve Moss. Who's in that category from this past year? Tommy Hawk?
Tom Haudricourt: Hawk is definitely a player to watch. He has a really nice arm and had a nice pro debut. RHP Robby Wooley, the sixth pick, is another player to watch. And LYP Greg Kloosterman, at No. 9, showed a killer curveball in his pro debut and could move fast.
|Mike from Milwaukee asks:
Is Lyle Overbay capable of playing in the outfield? If not is he just a stopgap until Prince Fielder is ready? Can you also put a timetable on when some of the top 10 prospects will make it to Milwaukee? Thanks.
Tom Haudricourt: Lyle Overbay indeed is a stopgap until Fielder arrives -- probably after the 2005 season. He'll have to prove he should be kept around in the meantime. Shortstop J.J. Hardy will be given a shot at the starting job next spring, with Craig Counsell as insurance. And Rickie Weeks should come very fast, perhaps even before the 2004 season is complete. The pitchers -- Manny Parra, Mike Jones (if health), Ben Hendrickson -- probably won't show up until 2005.
|Brewfan from So Cal asks:
The pitching depth seems to have taken a hit this year with the likes of Ben Diggins, Mike Jones, Tom Wilhelmsen, and Ben Hendrickson all missing time to injuries large and small. Are the Brewers even average in minor league pitching? Is there a potential #1 or #2 starter down there, or just a lot of 3 thru 5 guys?
Tom Haudricourt: Hendrickson made a nice recovery from his elbow problems in the Arizona Fall League and could be a top of the rotation guy. If Jones stays well, he, too, could be a top of the rotation pitcher. Wilhelmsen showed a lot during his brief time in Beloit and also is highly regarded. Diggins has the long road back from Tommy John surgery, so there's no telling where he'll end up. Manny Parra also could be a No. 2 or 3 pitcher. So yes, there are some legit arms in the system, if they can stay healthy.
|Brewfan from So Cal asks:
As I remember it, the Brewers took some heat for drafting David Krynzel over Joe Borchard who went to the White Sox with the very next pick. Revisiting that choice, even leaving off the extra $3M, did the Brewers get the right guy? (Let's assume that Stokes, Nady, or Sizemore were out of the question.)
Tom Haudricourt: Krynzel looked great his first couple of years but all of a sudden developed bad habits at the plate this year and his average fell off. But he remains a top-flight defensive player and has the speed to be a decent hitter, if he bunts, slaps the ball around, etc. A red flag did go up this year but a lot of scouts really like the guy.
|Bob Fitz from Tarpon Springs, FL asks:
I know Weeks was great in college and looked fantastic last year, but how can you justify putting him ahead of Prince Fielder. What part of his hitting makes him a better prospect than Fielder? Fielder has no holes in his swing from what I understand. He's also younger than Weeks, much more powerful, and showed one of the best plater disciplines in the minors since turning pro. It's not like Weeks' defense puts him over the top. Is Weeks speed so much of an asset that it places him above Fielder as an overall prospect?
Tom Haudricourt: One of the many factors involved in picking the top prospects is how fast they should get to the majors and make an impact. Weeks is more advanced, coming out of college, and thus rated just ahead of Fielder. But Fielder easily could have been a No. 1. In fact, we debated Weeks, Fielder and Hardy as possible No. 1s before deciding on Weeks. That's a good sign for the Brewers, for sure. Fielder's defense makes me a bit nervous and he'll have to watch his conditioning. There's no DH in the NL so he'll have to prove he can play every day in the field. His offense speaks for itself.
|Patrick from Milwaukee, WI asks:
Is there any doubt that the Brewers will be looking to add a college pitcher with their first round pick next June?
Tom Haudricourt: Geez, Patrick, I can't tell you at this point. Scouting director Jack Zduriencik likes high school players and picked three in a row before this year, when Rickie Weeks was a no-brainer. The Brewers have drafted more for talent instead of need under Zduriencik. If there's at top-flight college pitcher on the board when they pick, maybe they'll take him. But they need power-hitting outfielders in the system, also.
|George from Vancouver, Canada asks:
Does Ben Sheet still have what it takes to be a No.1 starter?
Tom Haudricourt: That's a tough question. Sheets was rushed to the big leagues and has pitched for some very bad teams with the Brewers. That said, he also has given up too many homers, has not advanced with a third pitch and has endured nagging back problems that hurt his effectiveness. The best way to put it is this: if he played for a contending team, he probably wouldn't be the No. 1 starter.
|Patrick from Milwaukee, WI asks:
Is Josh Murray still a prospect, or was he a mistake? Does he still project well at SS or might he have to move to another position?
Tom Haudricourt: The Brewers really like Murray's tools. He didn't help that he missed most of the 2003 season with a bad groin injury, but there has been no talk of a position switch at this point. The Brewers merely want him to stay healthy and on the field, and they'll make determinations after that.
|Brian from Atlanta asks:
Can we expect to see any improvement out of Krynzel's batting approach in the near future? His plate judgement in particular.
Tom Haudricourt: One would think Krynzel would see the need for adjustments after his prolonged slump this year. He was getting jammed inside on fastballs too often. And he does need to bunt more and walk more. How he responds to his adversity this year will be a key to his advancement.
|Patrick from Milwaukee, WI asks:
What are the biggest needsweaknesses in the Brewers' system?
Tom Haudricourt: Outfielders and catchers. The Brewers really haven't advanced a legitimate outfield prospect to the majors since Geoff Jenkins. They addressed their catching shortage by taking Palmisano and Opdyke in the first five rounds in June. They can always use more pitching, but outfielders and catchers are a priority now.
|Uncle Buck from Colorado asks:
Last year there was a glut of prospects in Huntsville and Beloit, leaving the high A affliate in High Desert with the worst record in minor league baseball. IN your opinion is High Desert going to get skipped by most of the prospects again this year giving Huntsville a stacked team and leaving High Desert with another bad team
Tom Haudricourt: I would say there's a good chance of that. The Cal League is so hitter friendly and harmful to pitchers that it might be best to push the top prospects by there. That's been the trend in recent years, anyway. It really depends how well a player handles Beloit and if there's any reason to play another year of Class A ball. The Brewers, understandably, have tried to push their prospects whenever possible.
|Mike from Orrville, OH asks:
Hi Tom! Thanks for the chat. I have two questions for you. 1. If you were to compare Lou Palmisano to a major league catcher, who would it be? I know it is early for comparisons, but I was curious. 2. Do you see Rickie Weeks as a hall of famer, few time all-star, or giant bust?
Tom Haudricourt: I've heard Palmisano compared to Mike Piazza athletically and offensively, but with better potential defensively. He's a leader type, like Piazza. As for Weeks, it's still very early in his career, obviously, but there's very little not to like. I've heard comparisons to a young Joe Morgan. That's pretty good, don't you think?
|Michael from Madison asks:
How good of a prospect is Steve Moss and what can we expect from him in 2004?
Tom Haudricourt: The Brewers like Moss's athletic ability -- his speed, defense, arm, etc. He has to stay healthy, which he couldn't do in 2003 (shoulder). The center field types are starting to stack up in the system, so he needs to make a move next year.
|Bill Mitchell from Tempe, AZ asks:
What's the status of Nick Neugebauer's rehab? I noticed that he was not on the BA projected 2007 lineup for the Brewers. Is there concern that he's damaged beyond repair. Also, any ideas on the player to be named later in the Sexson deal? Thanks.
Tom Haudricourt: Neugebauer wasn't listed in any projected lineups because he has to stay healthy for a while and prove he can be a force. He appears to be past his injuries and is on a throwing program and doing OK at present. If he's able to get back on the mound -- he needs a full year in the minors at this point -- and stay healthy, he could be a real sleeper for the Brewers, considering he's been off the radar screen for awhile. As for the the player to be named in the Sexson deal, he's not on the 40-man roster and therefore subject to the Rule 5 draft. That's why he hasn't been named yet.
|dave from california asks:
When will J.J. Hardy arrive? does he have a shot to break camp with the team? What is his upside?
Moderator: Hardy will get a shot to win the shortstop job in the spring. The Brewers would like him to be able to play 3-4 times a week at least, with Counsell and B. Hall as backups. If Hardy doesn't show he's ready for that in the spring, he'll go to Indy. As for his upside, the Brewers believe he's special, mainly because of his strong mental makeup and tools.
|Jeff from Los Altos, CA asks:
When it is all said and done, how much power will Rickie Weeks have? Can he put up 20-30 HR's per year a few years from now when he has established himself?
Tom Haudricourt: I don't envision as a big power hitter, but you never know. His real skill is putting the ball in play and hitting for an average. If he could hit 12-15 homers a year, the Brewers would be quite happy. On-base percentage is this guy's deal. He's always on base.
|Patrick from Milwaukee, WI asks:
Do you think that the best prospects from last year's Beloit team (Fielder, Weeks, Gwynn, Parra, Bausher, Sarfate) will all get bumped up to Huntsville to be part of the 2nd wave Doug Melvin frequently talks about? Will there be anything left for High Desert?
Tom Haudricourt: As I mentioned earlier, look for most of these guys to move up to Class AA. The Brewers want to keep moving their top prospects.
|Jim from Columbia, MO asks:
How can you have any credibility on these choices when you are a beat writer for the team?
Tom Haudricourt: What kind of question is that? You're questioning my credibility? I've covered the Brewers for all but two years since 1985. Who knows their system better than me? I talk with the BA guys all the time to make sure we're on the same page. Jim Callis and I talked extensively about how to rank the top prospects this year, who should be No. 1, etc. I have written for BA for many, many years and consider myself a pretty good authority on their farm system. I think the editors at BA agree or they wouldn't ask me to do the prospect lists. If you don't think I can be a harsh critic or discerning writer, just ask the Brewers. Sorry you have such a low opinion of beat writers. And besides, I'm just as much a national writer as a beat writer, sharing duties with Drew Olson. If you know somebody in the baseball writing profession who knows the Brewers and their system better than Drew and myself, I'd like to know who it is.
|Gerry from Houston, TX asks:
How long until you trade me Prince Fielder?
Tom Haudricourt: Prince ain't going anywhere anytime soon, I can assure you.
|mark h from eau claire asks:
tom, are the heights of hart at 3rd and fielder at 1st part of the problem with their defense. plus the brewers have a lot of solid centerfielders and middle infielders with no pop, do any them at least project gap power.
Tom Haudricourt: Hart is indeed tall for a third baseman, and it would be better if Prince was a bit taller, but what are you going to do? He has to play first base. Hart, on the other hand, could move to the outfield if necessary. Weeks certainly has gap power, as does Hardy. Krynzel has surprising pop at times, too. None of them are major power threats but they aren't exactly punch hitters.
|Tony from San Antonio asks:
Isn't JJ Hardy just Adam Everett with weaker defense?
Tom Haudricourt: The Brewers think Hardy is going to be a fine shortstop. He has good range and a great arm. He just needs to keep playing. He's only 21.
|Patrick from Milwaukee, WI asks:
What position will Corey Hart play at the big league level, and if he's not the 3B of the future, who is, if anyone?
Tom Haudricourt: If it's not Hart, it's difficult to say. The Brewers aren't exactly loaded with third basemen. They'd love Wes Helms to stay there a few years if Hart doesn't play third in the majors.
|Greg from Chicago asks:
Are the Brewers likely to keep Junior Spivey and if so, where is he likely to play this year?
Tom Haudricourt: It would not surprise me if the Brewers moved Spivey to another team in search for an outfielder before spring training. Otherwise, he and Keith Ginter will battle for the job at second.
|dave from maryland asks:
what is the update on mike jones elbow injury?
Tom Haudricourt: So far, so good. But he has to get on the mound and prove he's OK for the long haul. I'm sure the Brewers remain nervous about that situation. If he has to have Tommy John surgery, it would be a killer.
|George from Bronx, NY asks:
I hope the Brewers bring up the young kids early so if they develop I can sign them for my team. Wouldn't they be smarter to keep them in the minor leagues as long as possible so they can enjoy more of their better years?
Tom Haudricourt: When you've had 11 consecutive losing seasons and you have one of the lowest payrolls in the majors, you have to get your prospects to the majors ASAP. Believe me, that's the Brewers' only hope.
|Rick from Madison, WI asks:
Tom, who were some of the prospects who just missed making the list? Were Wilhelmsen, Sarfate, Gwynn Jr and Martinez close?
Tom Haudricourt: Rick, Indeed, all of those players were close. Pitchers Dana Eveland and Jeff Housman weren't far off the pace, either. You have a good grasp of their top prospects.
|Shad from FSU asks:
What are your projections this year for Corey Hart? Any chance of seeing some time with the Brewers? Future platoon, starter, All Star, or perennial all star?
Tom Haudricourt: Shad, check out the earlier Hart questions. His position will determine how much he'll contribute in the majors.
|Patrick from Milwaukee, WI asks:
This will probably be the most popular question, but where would Jorge de la Rosa & Chris Capuano fall on the list?
Tom Haudricourt: De La Rosa would be high, very high. As for Capuano, Tommy John surgery set him back. I'm sure he'd be in the top 20 somewhere, though.
|Johnny from california asks:
where is tony gwynn jr going to start the year
Tom Haudricourt: Not sure at this point. He might be one of the few to go to High Desert to continue to get his feet wet. But the Brewers would like to keep that '03 Beloit bunch together if possible.
|Greg from Chicago asks:
If by chance J.J. Hardy is the Brewers' opening day shortstop next year, what level of performance seems likely?
Tom Haudricourt: As with all young rookies, Hardy probably would be erratic. That's why the Brewers will make sure he's ready. The infield depth that came out of the Sexson trade will avoid rushing Hardy if he's not ready next spring.
|Jason Brown from Rome, GA asks:
How do you compare Rickie Weeks to other minor league future stars like B.J. Upton and Hanley Ramirez?
Tom Haudricourt: Unless a whole lot of folks have missed the boat, Weeks ranks at or near the top of any prospect list at present. Let's see if he lives up to that billing.
|Jeff from Los Altos, CA asks:
Will Rickie Weeks be able to stay put at 2nd base or will he eventually have to be moved to CF?
Tom Haudricourt: How many second baseman have his kind of offensive potential? It's the same debate the Yankees are having with Alfonso Soriano. You'll hear opinion both ways. The Brewers will give Weeks every chance to play second base.
|Alex from The Bullpen asks:
I saw Manny Parra pitch last year in the MWL and I was not impressed. Can you tell me what I am missing?
Tom Haudricourt: Maybe you caught Manny on a bad night. Everyone in the league ranked him one of the top prospects. Look at his numbers -- 24 walks and 117 strikeouts in 139 innings. Do you know how difficult it is to find that kind of walk-strikeout ratio? Believe me, Parra is legit. He's a big lefty, which doesn't hurt.
|richard from arkansas asks:
do you see jason belcher fitting in the brewer plans ?
Tom Haudricourt: Jason was considered special when he was a catcher with his offensive potential. He's not a catcher anymore, which makes him less special. Still has a good bat, though.
|Fred from Washington, DC asks:
Tom, I am interested in what kind of potential you see Manny Parra having. The Brewers have really nice hitting prospects, but I'm not sure if I'm sold on their pitching. Where do you think they rate relative to other clubs in the pitching prospect department?
Tom Haudricourt: The Brewers have improved in the pitching department. We have Parra, Jones and Hendrickson in the top 10, and others such as Martinez, Sarfate, Eveland and Housman just missed. If they stay healthy, this is a good crop of pitchers.
|Lou from King of Prussia asks:
Are the Brewers concerned with Brad Nelson's power going AWOL. I know he was overcoming a hand injury, but it wasn't all that long ago that he was being touted with 40 HR potential. Is he a Mighty Casey or a Shawn Casey?
Tom Haudricourt: I've been waiting for a Brad Nelson question. The hammate bone injury is a tough one for hitters, because it saps them of their power. It generally takes a year to recover, so it's no big shock that Nelson is still struggling. He does need to get in better shape, however, make adjustments and get back to his smooth, power stroke. Let's see how he rebounds next year.
|Michael Stern from Rochester N.Y. asks:
Do you see Palmisano as a major league stud? His numbers this year were outstanding. Shouldn't he have been rated higher than # 10?
Tom Haudricourt: The Brewers really like Palmisano, on and off the field. He was MVP of the Pioneer League despite missing the last 3-4 weeks with a broken ankle, which tells you something. But ranking him higher than 10th would be tough, considering he's just getting started. All nine guys ahead of him have a better pedigree at this point. But Palmisano plays the right position in the Brewers' system to move fast. Sorry, folks, but I have to go. Sorry I couldn't answer every single question, but I think we've covered a lot of topics. Maybe we can do this again sometime. Take care.
Moderator: Thanks Tom for taking the time to discuss the Brewers. We'll be talking Pirates on Thursday.

1 in 10 Pregnant Women Admits to Drinking Alcohol
And a shocking number of them are binge drinking.
It's common knowledge at this point that drinking alcohol while pregnant carries major risks to your baby. But there's still a startling number of pregnant women in the United States who are drinking anyway.
According to a new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 10.2 percent of pregnant women between ages 18 and 44 said they drank alcohol within the last 30 days. And 3.1 percent of pregnant women admitted to binge drinking, which is defined as drinking four or more alcoholic beverages in one sitting.
Women from age 35 to 44 were the most likely to drink, and college grads were twice as likely as non-grads to imbibe. And binge drinkers were more likely to do so more often, drinking 4.6 times in a month, compared to only three times a month for all women, even those who aren't pregnant. This may be because women who binge drink while pregnant have more addiction issues.
Researchers used data from the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which surveyed more than 200,000 women from all 50 states from 2011 to 2013. Though the data show that most pregnant women are abstaining from alcohol, the study still shows that many women are putting their children at risk of serious health problems, which include birth defects and disabilities, plus an increased risk of miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth.
"Women who are pregnant or might be pregnant should be aware that there is no known safe level of alcohol that can be consumed at any time during pregnancy," said Cheryl Tan, lead author of the study, in a statement. "All types of alcohol should be avoided, including red or white wine, beer and liquor."

For the 5,340,695th time in his NHL career, Carlo Colaiacovo is prepared to play.
The oft-injured Maple Leafs defenceman, who has played in only five games this year because of knee woes and has missed major parts of recent seasons, said yesterday after practice at Lakeshore Lions Arena that he is ready to play tonight against the St. Louis Blues. But Leafs coach Paul Maurice played down Colaiacovo's enthusiasm, saying the 25-year-old's status would be determined today.
Defenceman Bryan McCabe, recovering from broken bones in his hand, skated on his own yesterday morning, but Maurice said there is no timetable for McCabe's return.
"He will join the team when he feels comfortable with his stick," Maurice said. "The healing is where it is supposed to be."
McCabe has been out since getting hurt Dec. 15 in Montreal. Colaiacovo, since Jan. 5.
Forward Boyd Devereaux left practice yesterday early, but Maurice did not disclose the reason and Devereaux, is expected to play tonight.
The Blues go into tonight on a seven-game winless streak that includes two shootout losses to the Vancouver Canucks. Only Brad Boyes, who has 29 goals, has been scoring: The Blues' 123 goals is fewest in the NHL. Keith Tkachuk's 13 goals are second on the team after Boyes, and Paul Kariya, who has 12 goals, has just two in the past 66 periods.
Overall, the Blues started 16-9-1 but are 6-10-6 in their past 22.
"I don't know what it is," Tkachuk said. "What we're doing now isn't good enough.
"When you've got a guy with 29 goals and there's a big gap between the next guy, we have to pick up the scoring and not rely on Brad Boyes all the time."
The Leafs are hoping history repeats itself. Last season, they won their first five games after the all-star break and were in the playoff hunt until the season's final day ... The Leafs are 6-11-0 in games against the Western Conference since the start of 2006-07. In the same span, among Eastern Conference clubs, only Atlanta has fewer points (11) against the West than the Leafs do.
