Until two detrimental walks in the eighth inning, Marlins starter Jose Fernandez had shut down the Diamondbacks.
Fernandez powered through the lineup in 7 1/3 innings of work, facing at most four batters in any given inning. He allowed only three hits before outfielder Jason Kubel battled him for a walk, the first baserunner the Diamondbacks had since the third inning of their 3-1 matinee win at Chase Field on Wednesday.
"Kubel had a good at-bat, where he (Fernandez) ended up having to throw more pitches than we thought, and he ran out of pitches," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "He ran out of bullets."
The 20-year-old rookie started the eighth inning of a 0-0 game by walking Kubel. After a meeting on the mound, Fernandez stayed on to face A.J. Pollock, who attempted a bunt that catcher Jeff Mathis grabbed for the first out. But Fernandez's walk to Didi Gregorius cost him a shot at finishing the inning.
Marlins reliever Mike Dunn proceeded to give up a three-run homer to pinch hitter Cody Ross, and Fernandez went from throwing shutout baseball to being on the hook for a loss.
"It's a baseball game so things like that happen," said Fernandez, who fell to 4-4 with a 3.05 ERA. "It's not going to be the first time, and it's not going to be the last time. It will happen again."
Ross' pinch-hit homer, the fifth of his career, was much needed for the Diamondbacks, who struggled at the plate again in the finale of the three-game series, mustering just three runs in each of their two wins and just two runs in Monday's loss. Yet the Marlins offense couldn't offer any support for Fernandez. Miami failed to put a runner in scoring position after the first inning.
"We're pitching on pins and needles out there when we can't give up a hit or we lose a game and that's tough," said Redmond, whose Marlins are 22-49 and began Wednesday 19 games behind first-place Atlanta in the NL East. "That's not fair to the bullpen guys. They're going to make some mistakes. And today they got the big hit.
"Sometimes you just tip your cap. The guy hit a pinch-hit home run. That doesn't happen a lot. That's why those guys are probably in first place: Big hits."
Fernandez had never pitched more than 7 innings. He threw 103 pitches ― 71 of which were strikes ― and said he feels great after throwing so many pitches in the each of the last two games.
"He's a monster out there," Redmond said. "He's 20 years old and he brings it every time. Brings it every five days. It's frustrating we couldn't get him a couple of runs and win that ballgame. He throws it out there every time and he's fun, fun to watch. He's special. That's a good lineup, and he carved through those guys really good."

RE: 2010 Classics, Scans added! - rjcj2017 - 09-29-2012 01:02 AM
I'm a USC graduate and pulled the Reggie Bush auto RC out of one box back in 06.
I just sat there and looked at it for like 10 minutes before I could even blink or breathe. It was like a $500 card when it first came out.
The funny thing was that I had drooled over it online a bunch of times before I ever bought a box, so when I actually pulled it and was holding it in my hand, it actually took a few seconds to realize it was mine.
The cool thing was the LCS only had two boxes left, so I obviously picked the right one.
Had I picked the other one and heard about someone else pulling it out of the one I didn't pick, I would have been like seriously catatonic.
Man, I miss Classics.

Wedding Trivia:HONEYMOONAfter "kidnapping" his bride, the groom would take her and go into hiding. By the time the bride's family tracked them down them, the bride would probably already be pregnant! A "bride price" would then be negotiated. An earlier source is the early Jewish custom of the bride and groom spending a week together alone immediately after the marriage feast. The earliest reference to this practice is Jacob's marriages to Leah and Rachel.

One of the biggest perks about using e cigarettes is the ability to customize your e cig experience. There are numerous ways that e cig users out there have customized their e cigarettes to fit their preferences. Here is a quick guide on how best to customize your e cig experience.
The first, and most important, thing you need to know is that customizing your e cigarette is NOT the same as modding it. Customization involves buying authorized products that work within the boundaries of what your e cig is capable. E cig modifications are the result of disassembling your e cigarette in an attempt to make it work in a way it not only was never meant to, but actually cannot work long term. Modding an e cigarette can be extremely dangerous and some have even injured themselves using modded e cigs. In other words, don't do it.
Now onto actually customizing your e cigarette. You need to determine what it is about your e cigarette that you think could be a little bit better. It could be anything from how your e cigarette looks to disabling the LED at the end of your battery. There are numerous products out there designed to help you get the e cig experience that you want.
If you want to customize the appearance of your e cig then you would want to get a new skin for it. Skins are a great way to not only have a unique looking e cig, but to have a unique looking e cig that suits your tastes. If you want a battery that has the capability of turning off the blinking LED at the end of the battery then you can purchase the stealth battery. If you are not happy with the traditional tobacco flavor then you can try out different flavors and even mix some.

Sara Hickman

Sara Hickman describes making music as a weird job because who knows where it comes from? There's nothing, then: Bam! A song exists. And if it connects with other people, that weirdness blends into blissful camaraderie. Or it pisses people off. But I guess that's what art/music is supposed to do - cause a reaction. Otherwise, you're just a feral cat, but you aren't aware of the fact.
The press clippings go on to remind us that her "music has been critically acclaimed by Rolling Stone and many, many others. But it's Sara's statement that gets us and of course, the music, the music that says it all. Her new album SHINE is just out. It's a stunner with ten new songs developed from poems and visions by Sara and another writer and producer, Jim Jacobsen.
Sara wrote answers to questions we sent her. Wonderful answers.
What inspires you?
What are you most proud of musically?
What attracted you to Luna guitars?
What are some of your other passions?
What's something that gets in the way of your creativity
and how do you move through it?
What role does vulnerability play in your work?
In junior high and high school, teachers were supportive and encouraged me, even though I still performed with my eyes closed. But, in college and onward, I transformed my vulnerability into a strength through humor, storytelling and sharing my emotions instead of hiding behind them. I think allowing myself to be vulnerable and present in a performance is what binds me with an audience. Being vulnerable means creating family through music, instead of my being a "performer" and the audience passive "listeners."
Describe a snapshot of a joyful moment in your life
Do you have a mantra or manifesto for living and loving with your
whole heart?
Thank you, Sara!

HI, we are looking to take our kids to Disney (their 1st trip) our daughter will be 5 and our son will only be 23 months. Where would you recommend for us to stay? I am so confused!
What resorts have you looked at? Do you want to stay on site or off site? Do you want a conventional hotel room, or a villa, or a hotel suite?
Much depends on having more information regarding your preferences so that we can help you plan your holiday.
Hi zoebums!
And to Secrets!
We'd also need to know how long you plan to go for. Give us a little bit more information like that and I'm sure we can come up with some recommendations for you.
Tom (... self appointed Assistant Cruise Director. )
thank you for replying.
we are looking to go with Oct 2013 or Nov/Dec 2013.
For 2 weeks.
My husband and I plus 2 kids.
Also, parents may go but will all want separate rooms/villas etc as to have our own space. So there may be 6 adults and 2 kids.
We would like to stay on Disney Resort and maybe include dining plan as to try and save some money.
Ok. On Disney Property, your most inexpensive resorts will be the Value resorts. The All-Star Sports, All-Star Movies, All-Star Music, Art of Animation, or Pop Century. See this web page. These would be your resort options that cost the least on Disney property.Originally Posted by zoebums, post: 293373
Stepping up a level, would be the Moderate resorts. This would be the Port Orleans French Quarter, Port Orleans Riverside, Caribbean Beach, or Coronado Springs. The Disney page for these resorts is here. It also references the Cabins at Fort Wilderness but unless you're looking for a camping type experience, I wouldn't necessarily recommend them for you.
Of course, if money's no object, the Deluxe Resorts are extremely nice. The page for them is here. But based on your desire to "try and save some money", I don't think they'd be what you're after on this trip.
At any of the Disney resorts you'll be able to take advantage of the Disney Transportation. This gives you either bus, monorail, or boat transportation between your Disney resort and any of the parks or Downtown Disney. Beyond that, there's just something magical about staying at a Disney resort. My DW and I always stay on Disney property. Living where we do, we drive to Disney World and stay onsite for about a week. When we arrive, I park our car at the resort and don't even see it again for the entire week. We rely strictly on Disney transportation and have never had an issue or problem.
I'm sure you'll have more questions as your planning moves on but this should get you started and give you an idea of what the resorts are like.
Keep the questions coming, we'll be glad to help!
Tom (... planning is such fun!)
I would like to put my vote in for the All Stars Either Music or Movies works best for us. My daughter was 5 when we went and my Son was 3 and they loved the Movies. Everything is large and over the top and there are so many places to play that they just loved it. We stayed in the Toy Story building and my little boy is a Buzz fan, so there were smiles all around.
You said you were trying to save a little money with the dining plan, so this would be your best value and I think the room size would be great for your family
Pop Century is fun! Here's a few pictures from back when we stayed there back in 2004!
Just so you get an idea about how big some of those things are, that one picture is my DW standing under the Lady statue at the resort. And the Duncan Yo-Yo's are actually surrounding a staircase.
Tom (... worth the trip!)

Is It Time To Pile Upon The Apple Shorts Or Should We Go Long The Greatest Company In The World?
Apple continues to under-perform, yet continues to go exactly as anticipated by the latest 3 quarters of BoomBustBlog research. Let's take a more granular look at this, shall we...
Believe it or not there are still many naysayers who are attempting to hold on to the notion that Apple is simply in temporary dip, despite having a precise historical template from which to read the#margincompressiontheory (seeRight On Time, My Prediction Of Apple Margin Compression 8 Quarters From My CNBC Warning Landed Right On The Money!) tea leaves from. Those tea leaves are steeped in a essence of Blackberry (reference BoomBustBlog Research Performs a RIM Job!) and they demonstrate clearly how quickly a seemingly fundamentally strong company that is an adored brand name can hit the skids when it fails to cannibalize its own margins. Basically, if you don't do it, someone else will do it for you.
For those of you who feel that Apple's slide is correlated with the fall of the NAZ, simply look again at the chart above. Apple's fall has taken on a macro-fundamental- forward looking fall of its own. Why is that? Well, after Deconstructing The Most Hated Trade Of The Decade, The 375% BoomBustBlog Apple Call!! I went into detail with Deconstructing The Most Accurate Apple Analysis Ever Made - Share Price, Market Share, Strategy and All. But wait, it goes deeper than that. The seminal research that we released that predicted the rise of Samsung over Apple over a year ago has been proven accurate beyond a shadow of a doubt, now...

The Chinese companies are bustin' ass once it comes to Android phones, not just in price, but also in features and quality as well. As stated in my last missive on this topic, no one can complain about not wanting a phone due to low Chinese quality because they're all Chinese now - including the iPhones and the Galaxy's - reference Smartphone Hardware Manufacturers Are Dead, Long Live The Google-like Solution Providers (this is an article that is a must read for those who do not know what is going in China re: Android phones and technology!).
Currently, the best phone on the market (feature-wise) also happens to be the cheapest phone on the market, and also happens to be a Chinese phone... Sold by a Chinese Company.
This phone is one of the thinnest phones ever sold at 6.99 millimeters thick.
It has a 5 inch, FULL HD 1080p screen resolutionwith 441dpi density. This is approaching twice the resolution of the iPhone 5 and a full 1/3 greater pixels more than the "retina' screen.
The phone has the fastest chip on the market, the new quad-core Snapdgragon, materially faster than the chip inside the iPhone, and not just spec-wise but actual real world performance as well.
It has a 2.1 mega-pixel front facing camera that can do full HD video conferencing and a 12 mega-pixel rear facing camera with dual xenon flash (one of the highest resolutions in the market).
This cell phone will outrun and outperform a Macbook air laptop in many instances!
It is not a cheap Chinese knock-off. If anything, the iPhone 5 is a cheap American designed, Chinese made knock-off. Try doing this with your iPhone 5....
Oh yeah! A two year old already tried it, not with a grown man via hammer and nails, but just with her mommy's keys (may I add that iFixit is a well respected outfit):
Long story short, if anything, the iPhone 5 is the cheap knock off in terms of speed, durabilty or functionality!
This phone retails, unsubsidized and fully unlocked for just over $500 USD, as compared to the iPhone 5 which starts at $649. As I have been saying for quite some time, Apple is WAAAAYYYY behind the curve in terms of functionality, specs and quality and the only way they can catch up to the Android clan (that is if they even can catch up) is through share price destroying#MarginCompression, as told throughout this blog's Apple research history (see, again,Right On Time, My Prediction Of Apple Margin Compression 8 Quarters From My CNBC Warning Landed Right On The Money).
This is not a trading site, but the obvious is... Well... Obvious!
Subscribers, as recommended at the release of the iPhone 5, positions should have been moved to lean towards the pessimistic scenario in the lastest Apple report. Now that we have clearly pierced the optimistic and base case scenario valuations, I am now more convinced than ever that the pessimistic scenario will remain the focus in the upcoming months. If you have ridden this long until the iPhone 5 release then shorted, you should have ample profits. Profit protection is key, so to avoid a pop in the stock, take profits and set up a position to assume the realization of the pessimistic scenario in the upcoming quarters.
The latest valuation bands can be accessed in the last few pages of the reports below by paying subscribers (click here to subscribe). I'd like to make clear that this research is worth significantly more than the relatively paltry subscription price it takes to access it. In just the last month, it's already worth more than $34,852,564,500 ($34,852,564,500 - That's How Much BoomBustBlog's Apple Research Was Worth Today!). In addition, it would've, could've, should've saved an entire renknown brokergage firm/investment bank from failure, reference The Blog That Could Have Saved That Institutional Broker - Or - Beware Of Those Poison Apples!!!

the herd will leave apple as soon as a few celebrities speak about going to a new brand. piss dady and beyoncc'ass will soon get paid to 'get caught' carring a new brand and apple ownership will plummet. remember all the go bags at awards shows with free ipods and later iphones....paris hilton did more for apple than jobs ever did...
*...i just checked with a bloke in the se asia and oppo does sell a phone....
You are so far off base here Reggie. The Igeneration doesn't give much of a shit what their devices can do (most of them don't understand the tech anyway). Apple is not so much about tech as it is about being cool - something you obviously know absolutely nothing about.
You must love it when critics get you all fired up Reggie, makes you go do some more homework to prove them wrong.
Apple has had product placement in almost all movies for years. Doubt the herd is giving up on apple so soon. It takes awhile to recondition the herd.
Like all of us on ZH, I can only marvel like that telegraph guy Morse who said "What hath Reggie wrought?"
As for you comment "almost all movies for years", eh? well I just went to see Spielberg's LINCOLN and there was not one iota of Apple product being showed off, fancy-schmancy style or anythin! If your basic premise were accurate, surely a fine, big studio holiday blockbuster release would have featured at least one of the fiercesome Apple items!
Maybe slightly Off Topic and not appropriate, but what´s your thoughts on NOK (Nokia) for 2013 Reggie? Don´t see them in your list and am hearing quite positive stories about them lately. Especially the new lumia phones.
I'm not seeing the analysis section that deals with cronyism. The most important fundamental is who you know that can pull strings.
I thought Oppo was a US company.
The phones are available from China, and are not listed on the US link that you provided. I assumed they were Chinese. Regardless, the latest kit seems to be pretty good stuff.
Their blu-ray players are audiophile and very well respected. I think some high end audiophile companies rebadge the Oppo players and charge $5000 to $10000 for them. I paid $999 for the BDP95 which is their top player currently.
I heard rumors about an Oppo phone some time ago and was surprised it didn't appear. Your report is the first time I have heard about the phone for a long time. I wonder how much design for the phone was done in Mountain View California.
Is Oppo the next Apple?
Reggie: Oppo is not a phone. It's a blu-ray player with some limited network functionality. While the PQ/SQ of newest Oppo may be superior, the Russian owned DUNE PLAYER is best for media when networked to NAS. Not sure how any of this is germane to your above post. But for movie streaming and such, Dune is superior to AppleTV.
Maybe Oppo Digital and Oppo Electronics in China are unrelated.
Is there a future trademark battle on the horizon?
HOLY CRAP! okay the Oppo phone looks like the shiznit! Thanks Reg!
I have an Oppo BDP95 Blu-Ray player which has excellent sound.
The build quality vs specs vs price proposition on many of these Chinese phones vs the iphone 5 is outrageous! Apple has a very large gap to fill to come close to matching them, and the only way to do it is to start chopping those margins!
At the same time, Android 4.2 makes iOS 6 look like Windows 95. They are not even in the same generation of software.
Faulty Apple maps 'half-fixed' after iOS 6 system is luring motorists ...
2 hours ago – APPLE's trouble-plagued Maps app that has been stranding people in the ... of its iOS 6 system that has misdirected travellers looking for Mildura into the ... park and temperatures can reach as high as 46 degrees, putting lives at risk..... If this is indeed the military's next big idea, we may start thinking about ...
Local police have been called to assist distressed motorists who have become stranded within the Murray-Sunset National Park after following directions on their iPhones.
Police are extremely concerned as there is no water supply within the park and temperatures can reach as high as 46 degrees, putting lives at risk.
Inspector Simon Clemence said it took one man 24-hours to make contact with the outside world after following the application's directions.
"One guy got far enough in to lose phone coverage and he was stuck there and he got bogged and he had to walk out and it took him 24-hours to get to a point where he had phone coverage and then we came and rescued him," he said. "This is a direct result of this map application."
Police have confirmed five vehicles have become stranded in the park, with many more people presumed to have become lost but found there way back to civilisation.
"We know there are others because we set up a breath testing station on the road there recently and we had a woman who said every left hand turn up the Mallee Highway her application was trying to send her straight into the dirt," Insp Clemence said. "This is just the tip of the iceberg."

I understand why Apple did what it did, but as usual they have woefully underestimated both the difficulty in and the importance of, the cloud and Googles dominance therein.
This is like that guy that, when his GPS told him to turn right, he did, right onto train tracks. Yes, the maps are inaccurate. Once you know the map is wrong, why would you keep using it? People have to have some responsibility to use their own faculties.
Imagine if people become dependant on self-driving cars, and then the US Government hits the Internet killswitch!

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hello and Welcome to JustAnswer, My name is XXXXX XXXXX my goal is to provide you with Excellent Service,
I would like to help, but first you must do something for me. First, take a very deep breath, then exhale.. Now take another deep breath and say to yourself, "I will not be afraid of my husband ever again" and keep repeating that. I am going to give you the Answers in "rapid-fire" form so that I do not keep you in suspense, but you must believe what I tell you because it is true
1. Your husband cannot do anything to you;
2. If he calls the police, they will ask him, "who is driving the car". As soon as he says, "My wife", the police will have a good laugh and leave. There is nothing the police can do to you, you own every vehicle, just as much as your husband;
3. California is a "Community Property" State which means that all community property is divided equally between husband and wife upon dissolution of the marriage;
4. "What is 'Community Property" ? Community property is all property acquired, purchased, or earned duringthe marriage and it belongs to both spouses, regardless of whose name is XXXXX XXXXX or who paid for it, or who earned it (Such as Pension funds, IRAs, etc.). If it was earned during the marriage, it is community property. The only exception is anything acquired by gift, bequest, or inheritance, these remain the sole, separate property of the recipient spouse.
5. If your husband has threatened to kill you, you son, and the dogs, go straight to the police station and report it immediately. Then, go straight to Superior Court, in the County of your residence, Family Division, and ask for an Order of Protection and exclusive occupancy of the marital residence. They have all the forms you will need and the Court has real live people there to help the Pro Se litigants.
Remember, it does not matter whose name is XXXXX XXXXX title to anything. If it was bought during the marriage, it is community property.. The Emergency Judge will sign a Temporary Order and the Court Clerk will set a hearing date for the permanent Order.
6. On your way home to the marital residence, you will stop at the police station in your area and show the police your Temporary Order of Protection. They will probably want to make a copy of it. If your husband comes anywhere near the house, you will pick up the telephone, call the police and theywill come to your house in no time and arrest your husband for violating the Temporary Order of Protection.
7. You can start the divorce proceedings youself at the "Self-Help" desk in the Family Court. You can get an attorney, then ask the attorney to file a Petition for Counsel Fees.
8. During the divorce proceedings, the community property will be divided equqally between the two of you. If you cannot agreeon the division of who gets what, then the Judgewill decide

A new game application that is primarily intended for the iPhone, iPod and iPad is now available; it's the all-new Rage HD. Although this game is not yet a full-fledged game yet it is still one of the best-looking games that you will have ever seen in a mobile device. The Rage HD is basically an intense first-person game that comes with absolutely jaw-dropping graphics. It is based on Mutant Bash TV, which is a television show set in the dystopian world of Rage.
In this game, one needs to survive an on-rails roller-coaster ride from the start of each 10-minute level up to the end. And the good thing about this game is that instead of letting the player set the pace, Rage will bring you from location to location at an incredibly fast speed. This will definitely raise the fun and excitement as you go on with this game.
As the player goes through each level, a variety of actions can be performed. These actions seem like simplified versions of normal FPS maneuvers. You can simply reload your weapon while playing a timing-based mini-game to double the damage. There is also another button that enables you to move to the side in order to avoid flying bricks and rocks. As you go on with the game, you can pick up items for health, cash, and even ammo bonuses from across the room.
After you have cleared out each 10-minute level, you will receive a grade based on your performance. However, it does not provide for a breakdown of your accuracy, number of bonus, target, hits, etc. The Rage HD seems to be one of the most incredible games ever featured in a mobile device and could absolutely pass for a modern console game as well. Definitely this game has the potential, but it would be even better if the Rage HD will be loaded up with more extras and some extra challenges as well to make it more exciting.
Gaming enthusiasts out there especially those with the iPhone, iPod and iPad must be really excited about this new game. This game application is available for only $ 1.99 so open your iTunes and download it now.

So the other weekend I'm in Hluhluwe and I get cajoled into doing a horse safari. But horses terrify me. And all I can think about is the time I went camel trekking… That was a disastrous feat. Three days of ass rubbing and camel bucking in the sweltering heat of Rajasthan. (India).
Typically I land the grisly camel. An insolent grunting female who insisted on repeatedly walloping me off her hump and dumping me face down in the sand. Painful is an understatement – I was left internally bruised, seething with camel hatred and swearing never again.
The memory has forever haunted me, not to mention severely hampered my enthusiasm for horses, a breed that in my mind, is not far off the camel family.
But apparently a game drive doesn't quite cut it anymore, now we can gallivant through the bush and spot Zebra on bareback.
I can't say I was bounding towards the paddock. But I didn't want to seem a sissy either. And my friends were all prodding fingers, desperate for me to join. So I swallowed the lump in my throat and reluctantly agreed.
My horse was called Grace. Unfortunately I lack the genetic compound that finds an ability to truly bond with animals. But I must be honest – Grace did a good job at coaxing me into some sort of affectionate inkling.
She was a slender feline, striking and beautiful. And she elegantly nosed me through the thorny sand forest bordering False Bay – a vast watery expanse that opens out to Lake St. Lucia.
Felicity (from Hluhluwe horse safaris) led the two-hour trail through False Bay Nature Reserve. She was a buxom and reassuring type, who kept check of the horses and made me feel at ease with her chat of being born on the back of a horse – thanks to her father who was an avid polo player.
We networked through acacia trees, stumbled on a warthog bathing in a watering hole, and watched him scuttle off into the thicketed distance. As the forest cleared, some Nyala darted across our tracks and skitted out of sight, leaving us with a horizon of flat sun streaked Lakeland.
I can't claim to be a reformed horse lover, but my misgivings have lessened. This is definitely something to try, regardless of whether you're a fearful cynic like me – it certainly offers something different to the standard game drive.

I'm co-teaching this semester, a cross-listed honors course. My colleague is tenured faculty in a STEM field, and a nice guy in his 40s. I like him and we have a pleasant, easy-going professional relationship.
But lately, I've been bothered by what I can only call his emphasis on a competitive, even bloodthirsty attitude to learning. I fear revealing too much, but we're using a game-based pedagogy made up of lecture and debate mostly carried out by students themselves. We serve as guides and coaches to all players, and do all the assessment and grading, of course. Each student must weigh in on a larger historical issue (pro or con) but also has individual goals requiring them read critically, write and speak informatively, and employ primary sources to persuade others to adopt their views.
And here's the deal: the students are fucking petrified. Honor kids or not, they're being thrust into what seems like a very adult skill set (it's amazing how real "playing" can feel). We're concerned with motivating them to do their best work, and Prof. X has repeatedly taken on militant, dare I say macho, language like "ideally, you'll crush your opponents" and "there's nothing more fun than humiliating an enemy."
I understand why he's doing it; using people's inherent competitiveness can motivate them to work hard, but I doubt it's the best or only way to do that. First, because I fear that language is further adding to some students' anxiety, which isn't going to help them do their best. And second, because working collaboratively and learning to negotiate and comprise is actually the best way to win the game (by meeting one's objectives), and one of the most important, hardest things one can learn: how to deal with those who disagree with you, and how to come to some compromise without completely selling out your goals.
I did, after Prof. X's pronouncements, try to provide a countering voice ("Remember though, you don't get points for being rude, and beware ad hominem attacks. Use the sources, build your arguments with care. Do the work."), but:
1) it's not as sexy (violent rhetoric is more appealing than concern for building rhetorical skill), and
2) I'm a chick advocating chick stuff like collaboration. I know of at least one male student whose eyes gleamed at hearing that "humiliate the enemy" stuff. It's not what I want my students to practice, either in or out of the classroom.
Because we are a man and woman in front of the class, and are advocating positions that are conventionally gendered (compete/collaborate), I worry that our male students, in particular, are going to embrace the masculine model and go for the throat, rather than focus on doing the work and learning the material.
But maybe I'm being the essentializing one here by assuming that competition is inherently macho and problematic as educational model. I'm not terribly competitive–except against myself–and although I like to win things, the idea of winning something so that someone else will lose/fail/be humiliated is really just repellent to me as an individual and as a feminist.
So, readers, those of you are competitive, and who do respond to a dog-eat-dog ethos: can you explain to me how this squares with your feminist leanings?

Marty Volk has a guardian angel. For the past five years, since he was twelve years old, it has saved Marty whenever he's been in danger.

Into the Void: Star Wars (Dawn of the Jedi)by Tim Lebbon
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLEROn the planet Tython, the ancient Je'daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force--and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je'daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je'daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency. The leader of a fanatical cult, obsessed with traveling beyond the reaches of known space, is bent on opening a cosmic gateway using dreaded dark matter as the key--risking a cataclysmic reaction that will consume the entire star system. But more shocking to Lanoree than even the prospect of total galactic annihilation, is the decision of her Je'daii Masters to task her with the mission of preventing it. Until a staggering revelation makes clear why she was chosen: The brilliant, dangerous madman she must track down and stop at any cost is the brother whose death she has long grieved--and whose life she must now fear.NOTE: This version does not include the Dawn of the Jedi comic insert.Includes an original Dawn of the Jedi short story by John Ostrander!Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!Praise for Into the Void "In a story filled with adventure, intrigue, and great quotes, there's a lot to like in this book. Tim Lebbon dives into his very first Star Wars story with a great deal of success. He manages to spin a tale that feels like Star Wars, but also feels different from other stories that have been told before. While there is some threat of system wide destruction, the point is never pushed to being ridiculous. The characters feel believable and provoke interest. The attention to the characters never takes away from the plot. There's also a remarkable balance between world building, plot and character development, and action. When it comes down to it, Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void is just great storytelling."--Roqoo Depot "A nice, compact Star Wars tale that both acts as an introduction to the Dawn of the Jedi period and a standalone story."--Club Jade "A solidly enjoyable read . . . a nice addition to the Expanded Universe."--Tosche Station "A good solid Star Wars adventure story with heart."--Knights' Archive

The Secret Journeys of Jack London, Book One: The Wildby Christopher Golden Tim Lebbon Greg Ruth
The world knows Jack London as a writer who lived his own thrilling, real-life adventures. But there are parts of his life that have remained hidden for many years, things even he couldn't set down in writing. Terrifying, mysterious, bizarre, and magical -these are the Secret Journeys of Jack London. We meet Jack at age seventeen, following thousands of men and women into the Yukon Territory in search of gold. For Jack, the journey holds the promise of another kind of fortune: challenge and adventure. But what he finds in the wild north is something far more sinister than he could have ever imagined: kidnapping and slavery, the murderous nature of desperate men, and, amidst it all, supernatural beasts of the wilderness that prey upon the weakness in men's hearts. Jack's survival will depend on his ability to quell the demons within himself as much as those without. Acclaimed authors Christopher Golden and Tim Lebbon, along with illustrator Greg Ruth, have crafted a masterful tale both classic and contemporary, a gripping original story of the paranormal in the tradition of the great Jack London.

Miraflores Presidential Office, Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela — With less than six months left until Election Day, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has hardly hit the campaign trail. Instead, he has been consumed with his fight against cancer, repeatedly traveling to Cuba for treatment and publicly vowing to defeat his illness.
While cancer would end the presidential ambitions of many politicians, Chavez's struggle against the disease has in fact become his main rallying cry. Cancer could serve as a political asset if his health holds through the October vote, and that's the big "if" hanging over Venezuelan politics.
Last week, Chavez offered his starkest outlook yet as he wept while holding hands with his parents at a Mass and then pleaded to Jesus Christ to give him more life.
"Give me your crown, Christ," Chavez said in live footage broadcast nationwide. "Give me your cross, 100 crosses. I'll carry it, but give me life because there are still things left for me to do for these people and for this homeland. Don't take me away yet."
Chavez said later that he has faith in a "miracle" as he undergoes radiation therapy in Cuba following two surgeries that removed tumors from his pelvic area.
So far, what appears to be a serious life-or-death crisis hasn't dented his political support. To the contrary, one recent poll showed Chavez with a lead of 14 percentage points over rival Gov. Henrique Capriles. The poll by the firm Datanalisis had a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.
Chavez has managed to hold on to support even while his main image has been that of an ailing president climbing or descending airplane stairs on his frequent flights to and from Cuba for treatment. On top of that, many Venezuelans are supporting him despite 25-percent inflation and one of the worst homicide rates in the world.
Information Minister Andres Izarra, one of Chavez's key aides, said on Monday that the president won't be out campaigning door-to-door like his rival because "he doesn't need to." Izarra also said Chavez's spirits are being lifted by his supporters.
"That love of the people, it's arisen like a balsam, like part of his medicine, like part of his treatment to completely recover," Izarra said during a televised speech.
On Friday, Chavez is expected to rally his supporters on the 10th anniversary of his return to power after a short-lived 2002 coup, and he has drawn a parallel between his cancer fight and his survival during that coup, when he was restored to the presidency amid large pro-Chavez street protests.
"At that time, the love of the people rescued Chavez from the edge of death," Izarra said. "This time the love of the people is also rescuing Chavez from a particular health situation, in which if it weren't for that love, I'm sure his ailments would perhaps be greater."
Eduardo Gamarra, a Latin American studies professor at Florida International University in Miami, said compassion elicited by Chavez's illness "has naturally played to his advantage in the electoral process."
"Not only President Chavez but certainly his supporters and certainly the people handling his political campaign are taking full advantage of it. And I think it would be crazy for them not to do so," Gamarra said.
Chavez's illness also presents a challenge for the opposition, Gamarra said, because it might appear "cold and callous" to attack a seriously ill leader.
For both sides in Venezuela's divided political landscape, Chavez's illness has the potential to be a game-changer. The subject of what would happen if Chavez were to die is taboo among his political allies, as leaders of his United Socialist Party of Venezuela insist that Chavez will be their candidate and that there is no backup plan.

Negotiating contracts can be time-consuming and stressful, especially for local governments with limited experience bargaining with vendors; many lack the resources to develop that expertise. Consequently many cities and counties get the most out of contracts by letting the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) do the majority of the work.
The Texas DIR uses what it calls "knowledge-based" practices to negotiate with powerful vendors such as IBM, Dell and Northrop Grumman. These practices include systematic market research, analytics and pricing benchmarks. The DIR hired several experts in October 2006 to fortify its knowledge-based practices.
The process offers local governments hundreds of prenegotiated deals with vendors for hardware, software and contracted labor. If a local government wants to pursue an even better deal, it can use a relevant DIR contract as a starting point when examining new offers, according to Cindy Reed, deputy executive director of operations and statewide technology sourcing for the DIR.
"We developed a contract that provides all the services by defining a base service and allowing other services to be purchased as options," Reed said. "By taking this approach, we were able to define pricing, which allows customers to compare vendors on an apples-to-apples basis."
Vendor sales representatives face formidable negotiations with Texas due to that process, said Reed. The DIR reduced some of its base-service costs by 63 percent by the end of 2006 using its knowledge-based procurement process.
In addition to the knowledge-based practices, the DIR has taken steps to make it easier for public entities to use the contracts to meet their needs.
Knowledge and Details
Stories are endless in state and local government about contracts that failed to deliver because paperwork didn't specify exactly what an agency needed. The DIR remedies that problem by using knowledge-based practices to specify what it needs from a contract.
For example, in past negotiations, agencies listed computer software they wanted without knowing whether the software offered all of the necessary functionality. Now the DIR organizes internal state work groups to establish standard descriptions of state process and information system requirements to submit to vendors.
"So far, we've awarded 16 [contracts] for business IT government software, and those products will be listed on our DIR Web site by functionality, as opposed to, 'Here's X,Y, Z software.' That provides our customers with assurance that if they need a specific type of functionality, they can come look at all the groups of software that fit within that particular area of functionality before purchasing it," Reed said.
The In Crowd
Reed said vendors often complain that state contracts are closed off to newcomers. In response, the DIR's contracting experts re-engineered the department's contracts with vendors that provide in-house IT staff. The new set of contracts includes previously seldom-used vendors. The outcome produced wider vendor participation, as well as a cost reduction. The DIR increased its number of participating vendors by 4 percent, and increased its staff from those seldom-used vendors by 76 percent, said Reed.
In Tarrant County, Rob Cox, the county's assistant purchasing agent, said using the contracts helped the county avoid lengthy bidding processes when the county already knows a certain vendor is the only one for the job. The expanding variety of vendor choices saves Tarrant County from a formal bidding process to find companies to do what a project's primary vendor can't do.
"Few companies possess all of the skills we might need for a particular project. We're able to leverage DIR by coming up with different resources through their contracts. This way, we can do a complete project without having to do multiple bids to try to find these people. They're already in place," Cox said.

Top 10 Movies Of 2013: Seans List
By Sean O'Connell 2013-12-24 14:03:01 comments
6. Blue Is The Warmest Color
Yes, the "three-hour, French lesbian movie." But anyone who has absorbed the complete vision of Abdellatif Kechiches Palme dOr winner knows you couldnt sacrifice a single minute of the exquisitely beautiful yet unavoidably painful trip taken by young lovers Adele (Adèle Exarchopoulos) and Emma (Léa Seydoux).
Placed right next to The Broken Circle Breakdown, its interesting to note how both movies discuss from different angles the dangers we face any time we open our hearts to another person. Love is nearly impossible to capture on screen, especially between actors paid to convince us of a chemistry. Exarchopoulos and Seydoux manage just that, courtesy of some graphic (graphic!) sex scenes and several equally effective, passionate conversations defending the power of attraction. Blue is a difficult journey for both the characters and the audience, but one thats so honest with every calculated step, you wont soon forget it.
