Samsung Focus, LG Quantum Now $99.99 at AT&T
The bad news is that the Buy One Get One Free deal for Windows Phones on AT&T is over. The good news is, if you only wanted one instead of two anyways, it's now a cool hundie less at AT&T stores and on the official website. Right now you can get the Samsung Focus and LG Quantum for $99.99 (sadly, no love for the HTC Surround as of yet).
We haven't been told how long this will last, but if you are in the market for a Windows Phone this is going to be a great opportunity to jump on.
Even better news is on the AT&T website you can also get free activation and shipping.
The best news of all? Amazon still sells both phones for one penny.
Check out the Samsung Focus Windows Phone at Amazon for $.01

MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: 4 Sell Ratings, 3 Hold Ratings, 11 Buy RatingsConsensus Rating:Hold (Score: 2.39)Consensus Price Target: GBX 226.06 Analysts' Ratings History for Barclays PLC (LON:BARC) Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock DateFirmActionRatingPrice TargetDetails9/26/2017Deutsche Bank AGReiterated RatingBuyGBX 2319/24/2017Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

A UAW local president has revealed that, as we suspected, the much-touted UAW concessions are no concessions at all. Mark McQuillen, president of UAW local 2404 (Charlotte, NC) has filed a report on last week's emergency UAW meeting, and let slip a tiny detail that had not been previously publicized. In return for allowing Detroit to delay VEBA payments and "eliminating the Job Bank and negotiating a new provision to protect workers that otherwise would have been placed in the Jobs Bank program," the UAW is said to be seeking "an equity stake in the company most likely in the form of a seat on the board of directors." This is in addition to a taxpayer funded "special attrition program" which will buy out UAW workers in 2009 "providing that the loans are granted and that the government approves using some of the money for that purpose." Concessions indeed.

One condition I'd like to see: Elimination of the UAW. C'mon, everyone knows they are one of the problems, and possibly the biggest, and it's not only because of their wages and benefits. It's their work rules too. And attitude. I wish one of the CEO's had some balls up there on Cap Hill when one of the dopey Democrats said something like "why did you agree to these contracts?"
I wish Rick would have manned-up and said "well, if we didn't agree to the contracts, the union would have striked, costing us more billions than we are asking for here, and if we tried to hire a new workforce, we probably would have been sent to jail. Furthermore, your CAFE, FMVSS, OSHA, EPA, etc have cost us HUNDREDS of BILLIONS over the last 30 years which could have been better spent "making the cars people want". Do you realize that your safety standards add about 800 lb to a small car? How in god's green earth is it going to be more efficient than the car it replaces? I'd like you to tell me that Mr. Senator. Then give me some money NOW. Thank you very much, and F**ck you too."

they should take their Billion dollar strike fund and buy newly issued common shares and thereby earn a spot at the table. current investors wouldn't be out anything by the dilution as the stock is basically worthless anyway. maybe then we could begin the formation of a company capable of having various factions truly aligned. same page kind of thing you know.

The Domestic Automakers, especially GM, had a golden opportunity to send the UAW packing in 1998 when they went on strike for several months. GM management didn't have the cajones to pull the trigger ten years ago and now here we are asking why they are still around and even worse, why on earth would you ever let them sit on the board? I really cannot believe that once again, a company has shown the stupidity to let the employees tell them what to do, how to run the business and just what 'conditions they are willing to work under'.

Just ask the employees of United Airlines how great of an idea it was to have a significant ownership stake in the company – right before it went bankrupt. It looks to be mostly symbolic to me. Heck, give the UAW all the BOD positions and it won't change the underlying fiscal problems at GM.
The laws of supply and demand may just win this one yet….

GM management cannot get rid of the uaw. The workers voted them in decades ago and only the workers can vote them out. And they won't.
Please people, stop saying that chapter 11 will get rid of the uaw. It won't. It will cause them to renegotiate their contract, but the workers will not let the uaw go. The workers know that they will have to fend for themselves and they have never done so. It is better to have an overlord than be responsible for one's self.

One condition I'd like to see: Elimination of the UAW.
And I want a pony.
Seriously, why should the UAW take it the neck? Did they design the cars that no one wanted to buy? Did they waste untold sums on the FIAT boondoggle? Did they fail to invest in small cars when they were raking it in hand-over-fist in the 90s?
No, the UAW did none of those things. They built to spec, vastly improved productivity, and took home awards for the highest-quality plants in North America. And just last year, they gave concessions.
Management, not the UAW, is what has run the Big Three into the ground. Why in the world should the decision-makers live on and the UAW die?
Put another way, why should the people who shower after work lose their livelihood while the people who shower before work (a/k/a those who brought the enterprise to ruin) continue to receive a salary?
If the UAW dies, it will take the Big Three with them. That is a dead certainty, amidst a sea of uncertainty.
They — GM and/or Ford and/or Chysler, and the UAW — will all fail, or succeed, together.

True story…. couple years ago we're setting up for a big summertime corporate event in Detroit…. bigtime, high budget deal with union labor.
The hospitality tents couldn't be staked into the asphalt; had to be tied to water barrels… which had to be moved by forklift.
Needed several moved. Project mgr sends over a Teamster fork lift driver.
OK..so far… so good.
But … walking next to him is his assistant. ….and walking next to him is their supervisor. That's three for the price of …well … three.
Dude on the hi-lo moves the barrels … with his trusty assistant and supe following along the whole way.
This is everyday SOP with these guys. that's one slice of life anecdote… there's hundreds more.
So it's not just a matter of how much $$ the driver made per hour…it's that they triple-dipped.
3 guys getting paid for the work of one. …there's a reason all the transplants wouldn't build within 300 miles of the Michigan border and it's not the weather.

Chrysler had UAW president Douglas Fraser (sp?) on it's board when it got it's publicly guaranteed private bank loans. He was not a problem from what I've read, but was able to see firsthand just how serious things were then. He knew they would have to close plants and renegotiate the contract and was cooperative in doing what was needed so they could survive. Maybe it was a different UAW back then. I would like to think they could do this now. But I always was an optimist.

That you got three for one is probaly the result of Occupational Health and Safety laws for the operators and bystanders protection. The actual driver is probaly not allowed to leave the fork lift whilst in control, the assistant is to actually guide and help make sure the load is safe and secure and the supervisor is to make sure that all the rest of people, not directly involved in the job, are kept safely away from the proceedings. Else you might have shock horror headlines of "Forklift loses control, bystanders injured, suing event organisors"

You've touched on one of many UAW problems – featherbedding.
The goal of the union is to create jobs.
I wonder if Ronny G would like to testify how many of his union buddies are in elected and appointed positions in the plants. Where they not only collect major $$ (these guys are often "on the clock" for 12-16 hours 6/7 days a week) but spend much of their time gumming up the works to create the need for more union hours worked.

text: Hi, I don't know if this is related to xmonad, but it's worth a try :) I use the rxvt terminal. On the primary monitor it works fine, but on the second and third monitor it lags like hell. When I press tab for tab completion it takes sometime 1-2 sec. to complete, where the same thing takes no time at the primary monitor. Does anybody has the same problem with xmonad? I used xterm before and I think that there were not such an issue with xterm. My config: kernel: 2.6.37-rc4 xmonad: xmonad-0.9.1 xmonad-contrib: 0.9.1 I think that problem could be connected with one of these 3 poss.: - graphic driver: I'm using the open source radeon driver - rxvt: I don't think that it is rxvt related. Rxvt shouldn't do any difference on which monitor it is used. - xmonad: Xmonad is what provided the 3 workspaces which I see at the same time. Thats why I think that is is realted to xmonad.

Wendy Leece, a two-term Costa Mesa councilwoman, is considering a challenge to long-time Congressman Dana Rohrabacher.
Speaking Monday from her room at Hoag Orthopedic Institute in Irvine after undergoing hip surgery, Leece, 65, said she'll gauge support over the next month for a possible run at the 48th District seat. Leece said she has already started collecting voters' signatures to fulfill the requirement of 3,000 names needed by Feb. 20 in lieu of the $1,740 filing fee.
"I understand it's very uphill," she said of challenging Rohrabacher, now in his 13th term. Both are Republicans.
"With all due respect to Congressman Rohrabacher, I think that it's time for him to retire," she said. "He's been there a long time. You lose touch with the people."
The current state of discourse in the national capital prompted her to consider a run, she said.
"Recently, what we're seeing in Washington is total gridlock, polarization, extremes," she said. "I feel through my experience … that I would bring a new voice, actually a new listening ear, because I am a collaborator."
Leece was first elected to the City Council in 2006 and will have served two consecutive terms, the limit, by the end of this year. She served a combined 12 years on other local boards – the Parks and Recreation Commission and Newport-Mesa Unified School District Board of Trustees. In the past, she's worked for the Irvine Co., a construction company and as a substitute teacher. She still teaches in juvenile hall school. Leece, whose husband died in 1999, has three daughters and two sons.
On the council, she's often the lone dissenting vote or in the minority with Councilwoman Sandy Genis. She opposed efforts in 2011 to outsource some city jobs and more recently, to outsource operation of the city jail, saying the moves were being made too quickly. In 2012, she opposed an effort by then-Councilman Jim Righeimer to transform Costa Mesa into a charter city. Residents eventually voted that charter proposal down.
"I'm not afraid to point out the weaknesses of the majority position," she said. "I think that ability of mine can be transferred to Washington, D.C."
Were she elected, Leece said she'd focus on jobs and economic development, education, health care, national security and immigration.
Leece said she wouldn't take any contributions more than $100 and wouldn't stay in Congress longer than six years, if she were elected.
Steven Stambough, political science professor at California State University, Fullerton, said although he wasn't familiar with Leece, she could build name recognition with a concerted effort to snag some key endorsements and tap into the network of local political and social organizations.
Even so, Rohrabacher is unlikely to be vulnerable to someone within his own party, Stambough said.
"Dana Rohrabacher has been in office for quite some time," he said.
Rohrabacher was first elected in 1988.
"He's got the name recognition. He's built the relationships. … He's not particularly vulnerable to someone from the right," Stambough said.
In Congress, Rohrabacher, 66, is the Chairman of the Europe, Eurasia and Emerging Threats Subcommittee of the House Foreign Relations Committee. He frequently comments on China's human rights record and relations with Russia and opposes government services for immigrants who entered the United States illegally. He also supports states' rights in allowing marijuana to be used for medical purposes.
Leece said Tuesday she was leaving the hospital later that day and hopes to be recovered from her surgery in a few weeks.
"I can do that in my neighborhood with my walker," she said of gathering support by visiting voters door-to-door.
"I hope to see what's out there. I don't know, but I'm going to give it a try."

So to answer your question in short, there are no plans for any change.
I still really want the auto post update similar to SB Nation. Having to refresh over and over is tedious.
That's my only teeny tiny complaint.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.

American Eagle Sandals
I just got home from my boyfriends baseball game and I am waiting for him to finish cooking our Boca Burgers for dinner! (we are new vegans! and we love it!) I looked down at my feet and realized how much I love my new sandals from American Eagle that I got for $25! Usually I walk right by this store, but something made me go inside and they have so many cute sandals for Spring! Down below is a picture of the sandals I am wearing (please don't mind my unpedicured toes :( i am due for a much needed pedi!) and check out AE's website to view more!

Several months ago, on January 14, I posted a question about JDBC's refreshRow being slow. The problem is that the resultset code is accessing the server for each column. It needs to know the column names so it can build a query to get the values for that single row. It knows the position of the resultset columns in the actual table, but not the column names. Oliver Jowett suggested that a method like this might help because it would get all column names at once: static String[] Field.getColumnNames(Connection,Field[]) Having poked around in the code, I notice that not only refreshing rows but also updating column values suffers from this problem, namely a visit to the server for each column to be updated. I should think that the proper fix would be to get the names of all the columns when the resultset is created so that any number of updates and refreshes could be performed without accessing the server for names. In the meantime, since the names returned by the result set agree with the actual table names if there are no aliases in the original list of columns, I am about to try a small modification -- to use the column label (which is in memory) instead of the base column name (which isn't). It seems to work in the lab, haven't tried it in the real world yet. Question: should I expect something as simple as this to work, or am I overlooking something? John

With the aim to coordinate crime-fighting efforts, the newly-formed East Central Drug and Violent Offender Task Force was given the Isanti County Board's blessing at the Nov. 2 regular board meeting.
The Task Force furthers cooperation and coordination between officers of Isanti, Chisago and Pine counties to investigate illegal drug activity, violent crime and assist in the prosecution of offenders. Presenting the resolution to the board was Isanti Co. Sheriff Russ Monson who said the coalition is applying for grant money which could be applied to overtime or other expenses incurred by the Task Force if received.
"This Task Force will also work across the state with other partnerships to combat the web of the drug world," said Sheriff Monson.
• In a related matter, Public Health Director Kathy Minkler updated the board on the clean-up efforts at the latest meth lab bust in Isanti County. She said there is residual ground contamination at the site, but the well water test came back clean. The primary chemical contamination was isolated to the garage. She added the property owner has until Nov. 14 to finish the clean-up job.
Bridge repair on to-do list
The old timber-piling bridge on Co. Rd. 32 in Springvale Township is due for replacement and may be eligible for state bridge bonding funds next year, reported Highway Engineer Richard Heilman. The projected cost for the replacement is $340,000, with potential bonds covering $300,000. Weight restrictions are in place on the bridge, added Heilman.
Tax forfeited land on private sale
Chief Deputy County Auditor Angie Larson received approval from the board to put on private sale 16 lots of tax forfeited land, including 14 tiny lots in the Francis Lake Shores development. Bids presented to the Auditor's Office will be accepted through Dec. 21.
Next County Board meeting: Wednesday, Nov. 16, 9 a.m.

I might still end up in this group, but I'll have to get back to you in another week and a half or so.
Wishing you all the very best outcomes with your pregnancies,
I'm sorry it was negative. I'll have : for you in the next week and a half!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was 10 weeks when we lost the baby, but the doctor said the baby died around 4-5 weeks. I had a midwife appointment 2 days before the miscarriage and my uterus was a normal 10 week size - I hadn't gained much weight, but I had expanded enough in my thighs and lower abdomen that I couldn't wear my pants. When I actually had the miscarriage (I bled lightly for a few days first) there was a *lot* of tissue. Oh, and my hormone levels took 3 1/2 weeks to get back to normal. So, apparently my body still thought it was pregnant for a while after the baby died. I don't know for sure, but I *felt* and *looked* pregnant until the day after the miscarriage when I deflated.
Missing precious Leo Malachi - m/c 7/06
I have chronic hypertension and needed to get on the right medicine right away. Unfortunately I have to go through the health department once again...which really sucks.
So at least they got me in today. I took at pregnancy test at 4w3d and got a faint positive. Never rechecked because I was late and it was positive. They tell me today their test is not showing positive. They did do a blood test which I have to wait on but you know I went out and bought a few different kinds of tests on my way home and you know the second I walked in the door I took them. Anyway how can I get positives on every single one and they be that incompetant to not be able to get a positive?? They weren't even faint lines...they were darker than the control line.
My encouragement comes in that I saw just a teeny bit of blood mixed in with my mucus. With my m/c last time it started with smears on the tp when I wiped so I am starting to freak out. I know many many women bleed during their pg but I don't recall that happening with my 1st 2 only with the m/c. I know that whatever will be will be but it doesn't make it any easier and to boot I can't even apply for medicaid since they don't have a positive pg test yet should something happen. Although I have to imagine the bloodwork will show that I am since my home test showed up within 20 seconds. I just want to cry
I swear, I can't even really think about being pregnant until after that test.
The not so great news -- I'm not really having a lot of symptoms right now. I'm only in the fourth week, so I guess M/S hasn't kicked in... but I haven't been peeing a lot more than ususal and my breasts haven't felt too different either. I'm a little tired and thirsty but that's it.
I am starting to freak out that this is going to be another miscarriage, although I'm mostly just putting it out of my mind until Friday when I can get my test results.
This sucks, I vastly prefer the ignorant bliss of my first pregnancy!!!
Please don't let the lack of symptoms stress you out. My first pregnancy with DD was absolutely symptomless, and absolutely the healthiest pregnancy you could ever want. I didn't have anything, not even peeing in the middle of the night until about 8 weeks. Never had m/s, never had food aversions, I felt the best I ever felt.
Hang in there,
em&namama -- sending good vibes your way. Keep us posted!!!!
I had an "early" m/c last cycle (somewhere around the 5-6 week mark), and my pregnancy with dd was more or less 8 months of "threatened miscarriage" so right now I'm a bit emotional and stressed out.
I'm thrilled to be pregnant, but I almost don't want to admit to myself that I am...just in case. I was going to go to the doctor this morning to set up an appointment (I live 3 blocks from their office) and I just couldn't go in. DD and I stood in the parking lot for about 5 minutes and then I just kept walking. I had a positive test this morning, I'm getting morning sickness (well, evening sickness), and everything...but part of me feels like if I let myself "be" pregnant then it's just going to hurt more when it ends.
Which is silly...but there it is.
I'm keeping fingers crossed for all of us that this time round we have happy, healthy, full term pregnancies with beautiful healthy babies at the end!

I feel like I can start actually believing that I'm pregnant now. Of course, I'm still scared. I'll never relax like I did with my first pregnancy. But at least I've had that one good sign.
That's FANTASTIC!
Now I did spot/bled more or less the first 6 months with dd and she went past dates. But last cycle I started spotting and then bleeding and that was that.
I'm trying to stay very "what happens happens" but I can tell today is going to be a tough day at work.

Keep us posted and take gentle care of yourself. I'm thinking of you . . .
Sigh...with my first dd this spotting lasted nine months and dd was perfectly fine. Last cycle the spotting turned into a mc. I'm trying to stay really calm and accepting and going with the "I am a leaf on the wind" mantra. But it's hard.
Especailly telling dh about it this morning. He took our mc really hard and the look in his eyes this morning was tough.
We shall see...I am a leaf on the wind! See how I soar...

I'm fine, it'll be good to have a cycle again so I can start charting for real ... I assume it will be to avoid.
Good luck to all of you mamas!
The very, very best to all of you.
I have a doct appointment on Wednesday (with a new care provider) and I don't know if they'll offer an early u/s (which I would accept) or if they'll want to take a more wait and see approach. But oh, I wish I had a magic ball to see what would happen!

I have had several early m/c, all before DS, except for one last mothers day. Finally figured out that my prog level is too low to support a pg, so this is my second month on prog suppos...last night I had the faintest , and I did a beta (I work in a lab, super convienent!!) and it was 11 - I was 14 DPO - which has me a bit worried as it is so low - hopefully that is just how I grow them (last mc beta at 19 dpo was 111.)
Im so hoping for a . Im honestly not sure I can do this again.
Best wishes to you all!! all round!

Dole is promoting its fresh salad bags and kits with new recipes and a Taste of Spain Game.
The contest has two ways you can win prizes. Look inside specially marked packages of Dole salads to find a code and play. There's an instant win game with prizes, including ceramics, cutting boards, gift cards and free bags of Dole salad. You can also collect five ingredients to compete for the grand prize — a nine-day trip to Spain for two valued at $40,000 (including $10,000 in cash). To find out more about contest rules or to play the games, go online to dolesalads.com.
Here's one of Dole's appealing ideas for a spring salad. The website has many more recipes.
Orange-Walnut Salad With Chicken
Makes 1 salad (with lots of leftover dressing)
1⁄3 cup walnut oil
1⁄3 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 orange
3 cups Dole Spring Mix (from one 5-ounce package)
1⁄2 cup diced or shredded cooked chicken breast
2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese
2 tablespoons toasted walnuts
Place oil, orange juice, vinegar, garlic, orange zest, soy sauce, salt and pepper in a bowl or a jar with a tightfitting lid; whisk or shake until well combined.
Using a sharp knife, remove the peel and white pith from the orange; discard. Working over a bowl, cut the segments from their surrounding membranes. Discard membranes and set segments aside.
Place Spring Mix in an individual salad bowl; toss with 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Top the greens with chicken, reserved orange segments, goat cheese and walnuts.
Cover and refrigerate leftover dressing for up to five days.

Crimping .223 for an AR
I've read that you should not crimp .223 because it can cause a pressure build up that will damage the upper receiver on an AR-15. I'm considering doing it because I'm having an issue with slightly over sized casing necks when I reload .223. It's become an issue because I'm finding that after case prep some of the necks are so over-sized that the bullet will actually drop all the way through the neck into the casing when I seat the bullet. Very messy, and even more annoying. Then I have a wasted casing that has a live primer in it. On that note, I'm afraid to run a casing that has a live primer through my decapper because I'm afraid it will go off. Is there any way to save a live primer in a bad casing? :confused:
So back to my original question- can you safely put a mild crimp on a .223?
Yes. You should crimp. Dont over do it. I would recommend a lee factory crimp die.
Take your decapping pin out to resize primed brass.
.223 for an AR should be crimped. as its jostled around in the mag and chamber you dont want the bullet being pushed in.
the case neck size seems too big. ive never had that trouble. is your sizing die set correctly? perhaps its dirty inside?
Occasionally you will get this situation especially with .223. It is caused by over worked brass. .223 is shot and loaded repeatedly and will lose its springiness. Aneal the necks to get best results.
I don't crimp anything for my AR's, but don't see any problem if crimping into a cannelure.
You could be over-expanding. Does the bullet drop through after sizing? Do you use a powder-through expander die that is opening up the neck?
You need to mic the expander ball on your sizing die. It is ideal when the bullet falls free into a case neck that has not been sized. This indicates that the neck has not thickened. After the case neck has been sized the bullet should not drop into the case. A case neck that is oversized on the ID will not be cured by crimping. Crimping only works on necks that are holding the bullet in a secure position. The crimp is used hold the bullet against external force or recoil. :)
How many times has the brass been fired & reloaded? Annealing seams to be the fix to keep using the brass or the neck will split soon.
Brass that has been reloaded to the point of edging on incipient separation is not likely improved by heat treating. If the brass is so hard it will not reform you will have thick uneven necks from brass flow. The case will likely indicate seperation marks around the case just above the web. The case web in a semi auto is very important. I would not risk a damaged rifle for brass that is as cheap as .223. :)
You got sizing issues, Bud, and it ain't work hardened brass.
Getting your sizing set up correctly before you even think about loading or crimping
I also use the Lee Factory Crimp die with good success.
If your dies are not closing the case mouth enough to hold the bullet securely you have worn dies and they should be replaced.

Rome - Spectacular lava flows and smoke from an active volcano on the Italian island of Stromboli on Monday sparked fear among inhabitants - but geophysicists said the situation was under control.
Stromboli is part of the seven-island Eolian Archipelago just off Sicily in southern Italy.
The volcano is active but on Monday there was a particularly powerful eruption and sustained lava flows following four days of heightened activity.
Stromboli mayor Marco Giorgianni told the island's 500 inhabitants that they were not at risk and experts from Italy's civil protection agency are due on the island for further controls shortly.
"We are afraid," resident Pier Paolo Cincotta was quoted as saying by the ANSA news agency.
"No-one has really explained to us what the situation is and what we should do," he said.
Italy's National Geophysics Institute is monitoring the situation. - Sapa-AFP

New Bucs QB coach Van Pelt loves Josh Freeman
One of the benefits of the rookie minicamp over the weekend was the opportunity it afforded us to get an audience with Alex Van Pelt, the Bucs' new quarterbacks coach.
His hire was an important one given the task before him: Developing Josh Freeman into the franchise quarterback the team believes he can be.
So, I asked Van Pelt to offer a few first impressions about Freeman gleaned from their time together during the past couple of months. Freeman and Van Pelt have been spending a lot of time dissecting film and going over concepts.
The main thing Van Pelt has learned about Freeman, he said, is that, "He's never a second offender. If you ask him to do something, he corrects it immediately and applies it. The next week, it's not like, 'Hey, remember, get your feet right.' He's correctable. You say it one time and he's got it. . . You're looking for a guy like that. Instead of harping on something, he's got it. That's the main thing. Obviously, he's got all the ability in the world. But the thing I love is that he's coachable."
That's good news for the Bucs, because Freeman's development is at the center of the club's success on the field this season. Freeman has already called this offseason the biggest of his career because of the opportunity to grow and look back on his nine games of experience.
"His growth from getting in and watching the (film) and everything he did last year -- from there to where he is now, you can see the growth," Van Pelt said. "It's huge. It's exponential growth already. And there's a comfort level, too. Once you've been in the system for a year, (you can say), 'I understand protections, I understand all the issues that go with protections, I understand my reads, my footwork."
The pair will get their first on-field work together when OTAs begin on May 17.

Overall Opinion:
I would have loved these, if their would have been a bit more opaque. As you might know by now, I love bright colors, both in eyeshadow and lip colors.
These are GREAT for natural looking lips, and they feel good on the lips too.
I love the peppermint oil, scent is really refeshing and it gives nice cooling effect.
I got one from the arte LipSurgence Natural Matte Lip Stain collection (Exposed) and that seems much more opaque than the others, and that Exposed has actually come one of my favourite lip products lately!

Sen. Duane and Local Elected Officials Call for Halt to Post Office Closures in NYC
Officials call on USPS to halt unnecessary closures, increase community input, and provide advance warning and justification for planned consolidations
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thursday, August 20, 2009
Ilan Kayatsky (Nadler), 212-367-7350
Andrew Doba (Quinn), 212-788-7120
Eric Sumberg (Duane), 212-633-8052
John Raskin (Squadron), 646-369-8093
Bethany Jankunis (Glick), 212-674-5153
Greg Monte (Rosenthal), 212-873-6368
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, State Senators Tom Duane and Daniel Squadron, Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal, and Clarence Wall, APWU New York Metro Area Postal Union Executive Vice President, called on the United States Postal Service (USPS) to stop the unnecessary closure of neighborhood post offices, and to alert and obtain feedback from community members and elected officials well in advance of facility closures. According to recent USPS reports, 14 New York City post offices are potentially in danger of closure, while others have already closed. It is unclear if such cuts are truly helpful for solving the USPS's financial problems.
The elected officials also called for the passage of two important bills in Congress: H.R. 22, the United States Postal Service Financial Relief Act, which would save the USPS approximately $3.5 billion per year in operating expenses by allowing it to access the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund to pay health insurance for postal retirees; and H.R. 658, the Access to Postal Services Act, which would improve the USPS's procedures for closing or consolidating its postal facilities. This bill would require the USPS to fully justify consolidations ahead of time, to hold public hearings, and to provide ample notification to the public by mail and in local newspapers. Finally, this legislation would require a public assessment of the actual need for facility closure or consolidation.
Congressman Nadler is a co-sponsor of both bills and will continue to work toward their passage.
"I am far from convinced that these USPS cuts and closures are actually creating real relief from the Postal Service's massive budget woes," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler. "As far as I can tell, these cuts and closures are akin to moving around furniture on the deck of the Titanic. There is no excuse for the Postal Service to give short shrift to customers and cut services that every person and business depends on. I am calling on the USPS to work harder to make sure that the needs of community members and businesses are met."
"The economic collapse is forcing everyone to do more with less. But when any government entity looks to make cuts to their budget, they need to use a scalpel, not a machete," said Speaker Christine Quinn. "The USPS needs to seek input from local residents before they make decisions about closing post offices."
"Even in this Internet age, post offices provide vital services for residential and business customers," said State Senator Tom Duane. "While I certainly appreciate the fiscal challenges being faced by USPS, I believe that through creative consultation with consumers as well as postal workers, USPS will find it can maintain services in a way that is beneficial for all stakeholders."
"New York is a city of neighborhoods, and the local post office is a vital element of any neighborhood," said State Senator Daniel Squadron. "There is still no service quite like it. As New Yorkers strive to preserve their distinct neighborhoods in a difficult economic climate, I hope the USPS will work to find cost-cutting options that leave neighborhoods, and communities, intact."
"Neighborhood post offices provide a crucial service to our communities, particularly seniors and local businesses," said Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal. "Not everyone communicates via email, and I am very concerned that the USPS's myopic approach will overlook the considerable need for quality postal service in neighborhoods across New York City. The USPS should not use a weak economy as an excuse to shortchange our residents by closing post offices and cutting services without the valuable input of communities affected by these changes."
"USPS, like many government entities, faces tremendous budget challenges and will have to make some tough decisions," said Assembly Member Deborah Glick. "However, instead of engaging in creative problem-solving to do so, USPS seems determined to make the most painful cuts, including closing neighborhood post offices that meet the needs of local residents and small businesses."
"The postal system is one of our most important public services," said Assembly Member Richard Gottfried. "For the USPS to close two local post offices which serve large populations in growing residential and business communities ignores the needs and input of the neighborhood."
"Postal service is still a vital link for many of our citizens, especially seniors, who may not be comfortable or even familiar with the internet," said Council Member Alan Gerson. "The consolidation of services proposed by the USPS will present an undue hardship for those seniors, forcing them to travel greater distances for services that should, by right, be readily available to them."
"Staffed post offices provide central services to all New Yorkers, particularly seniors and small business owners," said Council Member Gale Brewer. "They are a gateway to a variety of important financial and governmental resources. Automated postal centers cannot replace the personal attention and level of service that millions of New Yorkers receive from the extraordinary and professional United States postal workers."
"In truth, there is no necessity to close post office branches or stations," said APWU New York Local President Clarice Torrence. "The USPS needs temporary relief from financial burdens placed on it. No other government agency or private corporation has to pre-fund future retirees' health benefits. Because of this, the USPS has been cutting back on service for some time. Now it is planning to close stations in communities. The sudden drop in mail volume is because of the current economic crisis, not because of the Internet. The three biggest years in the 234-year history of the Post Office were 2005, 2006 and 2007, well into the Internet era. When the economy comes back so will mail volume. Solutions can be found for both the current crisis and the long-term viability of the USPS that do not include the elimination of post offices."

EAST LAKE — Pinellas County has set its sights on a new location for north county ballfields: 100 acres on Old Keystone Road.
This time it's not in the Brooker Creek preserve, as two other proposals were, or on School Board property, as the most recently favored site at Keystone and East Lake roads is.
But it's still generating protest signs, a petition and controversy.
Neighbors on the south side of Old Keystone Road, who moved there for the quiet, rural life, have complained about noise, traffic, lights and more from the existing East Lake Youth Sports Complex. So they are outraged that the county might build even more ballfields on their two-lane road. And they are organizing to fight.
East Lake Youth Sports Association officials say they will be happy to expand their fields wherever the county sends them. The fields on 26 acres they own on Old Keystone Road are battered from overuse. But they do like the latest proposed location.
"It's right next to our current complex and it's more land (than at other proposed sites)," said Rick Watson, president of the East Lake Youth Sports Association.
The neighbors say they are not opposed to ballfields — their children play ball, too — but existing fields already detract from the tranquility of the neighborhood of 2-acre agricultural estates.
The land, part of the 871-acre Wilde property that the county is buying, is on an active wellfield.
Before the county can build ballfields, zoning changes will be needed.
And that means many public hearings.
If the County Commission decides to move forward, a planning department official said the zoning changes alone might take until early next year.
• • •
Thursday morning on Old Keystone Road, a hawk looked for prey from atop a telephone pole, a turkey vulture scanned the roadside foliage and a pileated woodpecker warned intruders that they were in his territory.
Only the sounds of nature.
That's not how it is when the sports fields are occupied, the residents who live on the south side of the road say.
"Like having a loud radio on and not being able to turn it off," said Sue DiLenge, who lives there with her husband, two sons and 15 pets, including two goats and a flock of chickens.
DiLenge and her neighbors have a lot of concerns.
"Originally, they only wanted 38 (acres), so how come now it's 100?" said Shirley Muller, who lived there long before the first ballfield was built.
"What would the commissioners say if this was happening near them? If I knew where they lived, I would be in front of their house Saturday at 7 a.m. screaming 'Hot dogs!' 'Pizza!' "
County officials have said that if the ballfields are built, they will do everything they can to mitigate the impact on the neighbors. But residents are not convinced.
"Once the zoning is changed, all these mitigation promises won't be worth much," said Iris Harbert.
She outlined an alternative site for the fields: a strip of land on the eastern edge of the county.
But county officials say that is to be a north/south wildlife corridor and they plan to restore some of the land with forest to provide better habitat for travelling animals, maybe even put in an underpass for them.

Even though it only works for FORWARD_ONLY ResultSets it could reduce the number of complaints we see here without much penalty.

Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada each homered twice, and the surging New York Yankees routed the Detroit Tigers, 12-3, last night behind Mike Mussina to move three games over .500 for the first time this season.
Robinson Cano hit his first major league homer and Gary Sheffield also connected, showing his sore left hand is healthy enough for him to hit. The Yankees (24-21) finished with a season-high six home runs, four off starter Wilfredo Ledezma, and won for the 13th time in 15 games.
Mussina (5-2) allowed six hits in seven shutout innings, winning his fourth straight decision in a span of five starts.
Rodriguez was plunked near the hip by Franklyn German in the seventh. Paul Quantrill retaliated in the eighth, throwing behind Jason Smith and then hitting him with a pitch in the back. That brought the Tigers out of their dugout, but the Yankees never left their bench, and order was quickly restored. Quantrill and manager Joe Torre were ejected.
Orioles 3, Mariners 2 -- Jay Gibbons homered to break an eighth-inning tie, and host Baltimore rallied to spoil the return of former manager Mike Hargrove.
After Baltimore pulled even in the seventh, Gibbons hit a solo shot to center off J.J. Putz (1-1) to give the Orioles their first lead.
The Orioles lost catcher Javy Lopez, who is expected to miss six weeks with a broken bone in his right hand that was hit by a foul tip.
White Sox 2, Angels 1 -- Tadahito Iguchi hit a run-scoring single in the 11th inning and Carl Everett homered, leading visiting Chicago past Los Angeles. The victory improved Chicago to a major league-best 32-14, equaling the 1951 and 1957 White Sox for the best start in the franchise's history.
Twins 6, Indians 3 -- Justin Morneau dropped in a three-run double just out of center fielder Grady Sizemore's reach with two outs in the 11th inning, sending visiting Minnesota past Cleveland.
Rangers 4, Royals 3 -- Richard Hidalgo homered twice to back Ryan Drese, and host Texas beat Kansas City for its fourth straight win.
Devil Rays 5, Athletics 4 -- Josh Phelps homered and had three RBIs, helping host Tampa Bay beat Oakland.
