What can you do with the JAG Grant? (Part 2)
In part one of this series we discussed two key phrases to the 2010 JAG program: Formula Grant and Needed Most. After reading part one you should have determined where your department falls for funding eligibility and have thought about what is "needed most." Now let's talk about the key priority areas for JAG funding this year and how you can apply what your department needs the most to these areas based on the funding you have access to under the JAG grant.
Key priority areas for 2010 JAG:

Israel will Pay, but Deny Responsibility for Refugees
Israel will give a "substantial" contribution to a new international organization which will be set up to compensate and rehabilitate Palestinian refugees, and will absorb tens of thousands of them as part of a "family reunification" program on a humanitarian basis, reported Haaretz newspaper on Friday, quoting an official, who added that "these are the main points of the Israeli plan for solving the refugee problem."
The plan is to be presented by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak at the Camp David summit, said the paper.
Barak will stress that Israel refuses to recognize the Palestinians' right of return, and will not accept legal or moral responsibility for creating the refugee problem, beyond expressing sorrow for their suffering.
"The government will explain to the Israeli public that absorbing tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees is a reasonable price to pay for the agreement, and will note that in the years before 1967, Israel absorbed 60,000-70,000 Palestinians as part of a family unification program," said the official
Senior Israeli sources speculated that an additional half a million Palestinian refugees would be absorbed in the future Palestinian state. The remaining refugees are to be absorbed in the countries they are currently living in - Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, with the help of international funding.
"The proposed international body will be headed by Canada or Sweden and entrusted with raising money for the refugees' rehabilitation. The funds will be distributed among the Palestinian state, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon and designated for improving the refugees' living conditions," the official said.
According to the paper, the national security council, instructed by Barak to concentrate the efforts regarding the refugee problem, has recommended that Israel raise a substantial contribution for the refugees' rehabilitation so that it is more easily able to shake the moral and legal responsibility for the problem.
The council is now negotiating with the finance ministry on the size of the Israeli contribution, Haaretz added.
Regarding the question of borders, a senior Palestinian source told Haaretz that the PA is not opposed to the idea of "swapping" territory between Israel and the future Palestinian state, as a way to solve the dispute over the settlement clusters Israel is demanding to annex.
According to the source, the Palestinians view this as a blurring of the Green Line and an entrance into the "1948 borders," therefore advancing their own national goals, said the paper.
An Israeli source said the option, currently under discussion, is not based on swapping equal size territories, but rather on a transfer of "symbolic" territories to the Palestinians in return for the West Bank settlement clusters to be annexed to Israel.
Cabinet minister Haim Ramon confirmed on Wednesday that the Israeli and Palestinian negotiators had agreed in principle to exchanging territories, and that this could be part of the permanent settlement, said Haaretz, adding that the White House has refused to comment on the issue - Albawaba.com

How to Save Money on Gas
With gas prices hitting an all time February high and the current national retail average price for a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline hanging at $3.65, many drivers are anxious about what to expect in the coming months.
"Every driver is impacted by the increased cost of fuel," said Marshall L. Doney, AAA National Vice President, Automotive, Financial Services and e-Business. "There are several easy things drivers can do to stretch each tank of gas and find the lowest fuel prices when it is time to fill up."
AAA provides these fuel-saving tips and advice to consumers:
Properly inflate tires
Only 17 percent of cars have all four tires properly inflated, yet the U.S. Department of Energy reports that proper tire inflation can improve fuel economy by up to three percent. It's important not only to check tire pressures at least once a month, but also make sure it's done correctly; a survey found 85 percent of motorists don't know how to properly check tire pressures. Check the pressures when the tires are cold and have not been driven recently. Tires should be inflated to pressure levels recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, NOT the pressure levels stamped on the tire sidewall. The proper pressure levels can be found on a sticker on the driver's side door jamb or in the owner's manual.
Be gentle on the gas and brake pedals
One of the easiest and most effective ways to conserve fuel is to change driving styles. Instead of making quick starts and sudden stops, go easy on the gas and brake pedals. If there is a red light ahead, ease off the gas and coast up to it rather than waiting until the last second to brake. Once the light turns green, gently accelerate rather than making a quick start. The U.S. Department of Energy reports aggressive driving can lower a car's fuel economy by up to 33 percent.
Let AAA find lowest gas prices
Drivers equipped with the AAA TripTik Mobile iPhone application can find the lowest gas prices close to home or on the road. Using AAA TripTik Mobile, the first free app to offer frequently updated gas prices, motorists can compare fuel costs at stations near to their location or in a specified area. The AAA app's GPS technology enables users to quickly locate stations on a map and see the price for all available grades of gasoline. Visit AAA.com/Mobile. AAA's TripTik Travel Planner also provides gas station locations and fuel price information.
Drive the speed limit
Slowing down to observe the speed limit is safer and can conserve fuel. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that each 5 mph driven over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.24 per gallon for gas. Leave yourself plenty of time to reach your destination to avoid feeling rushed so you can arrive safely and with a little more fuel in the tank.
Plan errands in advance
When running errands, try to combine multiple tasks into one trip. Several short trips starting with a cold engine each time can use twice as much gas as a longer multipurpose trip covering the same distance when the engine is warm. Also, plan the route in advance to drive the fewest miles. Online mapping tools are available to help plan routes, such as AAA's TripTik Travel Planner which is available free to all motorists at AAA.com.
Lighten the Load
A heavier vehicle uses more fuel. Lighten your vehicle by cleaning out the trunk, cargo areas and passenger compartments. Also try to avoid using a car's roof rack to transport luggage or other equipment—especially over long distances on the highway. A loaded roof rack affects the vehicle aerodynamics and creates extra drag that reduces fuel economy.
Stretch your gas money
Members who pay for gasoline with their AAA Member Rewards Visa® credit card receive double points on gas purchases. Members also receive one point for every dollar they spend, triple points on AAA and all travel purchases and double points on gas, grocery and drug store purchases. Members can redeem points for cash, travel or gift cards. The card may not be available in all areas. Members can apply for the AAA Member Rewards Visa® credit card at AAA.com/creditcard.
Keep up-to-date on vehicle maintenance
Keeping a car running properly helps achieve maximum fuel economy. Be sure to follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule, and do not ignore vehicle warning lights that indicate something is wrong. Warning lights can signal problems that will greatly decrease a car's fuel efficiency. To help motorists find reliable, high-quality vehicle service, AAA has inspected and approved nearly 8,000 auto repair shops across the country. To locate a nearby AAA Approved Auto Repair shop, visit AAA.com/repair.

What do you think is President Barack Obama's favorite food?
Pizza? Cheeseburgers? Or maybe the donuts he was fond of buying for campaign workers during his 2012 bid for the White House?
Crashing a Kids' State Dinner hosted by the first lady at the White House on Tuesday, Obama told children who had won a healthy recipe contest that he loves to munch on broccoli the most.
That's right. Broccoli.
It's a vegetable many love to hate and certainly the bane of former President George H.W. Bush's existence.
More than 20 years ago, Bush drew criticism for declaring he didn't like broccoli and wasn't going to eat it anymore.
"I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I'm president of the United States, and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli!" he said in 1990.
Feathers deeply ruffled, broccoli growers shipped thousands of pounds of broccoli to the White House in protest, and the vegetable was farmed out to homeless shelters as a result.
During the 2012 campaign, Scholastic cited Obama's favorite foods as chili, French fries and pork chops.
Hmm. Perhaps this newfound love of broccoli comes from different ways of preparing it?
"[In] my family, when they cooked vegetables, they were all boiled," Obama said, adding that he has since learned that healthy foods can taste good as well.

The Visual Effects Society (VES) today unveiled its 'VES 50: The Most Influential Visual Effects Films of All Time.' Star Wars was voted No. 1 by members of the organization, who also placed the other two parts of the original trilogy on the list as well. The VES 50 will serve as a backdrop for the 2007 VES Festival of Visual Effects, which will take place the weekend of June 7-10 at the Writers Guild Theater in Beverly Hills.
Star Wars is an obvious choice, given the major leap in technical execution and imagination that it represents. The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi ranked 11th and 46th, respectively. Coming in at No. 2 behind Lucas' seminal space opera is Ridley Scott's futuristic noir thriller Blade Runner, which pulled just ahead of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the only fully animated feature to make the list, though it ranked low at No. 45. And while most vfx artists cite stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen as a major influence, Jason and the Argonauts and The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad appear around the middle of the list. Harryhausen's mentor, Willis O'Brien, fared a bit better as the 1933 version of King Kong scaled to No. 7. Peter Jackson's 2005 remake came in at No. 38.
Jason and the Argonauts ended up in a tie with E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial forr No. 20. Other ties include Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1958) and The Fifth Element (1997), which crossed the finish line neck-and-neck to share the No. 50 spot.
'These films have had a significant, lasting impact on the practice and appreciation of visual effects as an integral, artistic element of cinematic expression and the storytelling process,' says VES exec director Eric Roth. 'We are equally thrilled about the programs that follow this theme and the industry's living legends we have participating in them.'
The VES Festival will feature a panel discussion on the VES 50. Moderated by Academy Award-winning vfx supervisor John Knoll, the session will feature fellow Oscar winners Richard Edlund, Dennis Muren, Doug Trumbull and (tentatively) John Dykstra. Other programs will include: 'The Art of the Miniature: What Can You Get Me in Two Weeks?,' 'Vfx Manipulation: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility' and 'Pre-Viz: All the Ins and Outs.' The Festival will kicks off with an opening night party at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 7. The full schedule and information on buying festival passes or tickets to individual events
is available at the official website, www.visualeffectssociety.com/vesFestival.cfm.

The Loves of Lauren Hutton
Lauren Hutton, from Lunch Bunny to Supermodel Actress Turned Talk Show Host
(continued from page 1)
She uses the word "extraordinary" often. "My face is always changing because I am constantly feeding myself," she says, alluding to the perpetual flux of new forces in her life. Today, she has a 41-year-old boyfriend and a tête-à-tête TV show on the burning issues of the day. This is a new kind of adventure, far from the jungle where she used to smoke those funny little cigars. It's an adventure she's savoring.
"I've moved to a 41 ring size, " she says of the Dominican H. Upmanns she now smokes. "They burn slower."

Schizophrenic Turns Her Hallucinations In Beautifully Trippy Artwork.
Schizophrenia is an intimidating and intense mental illness, as it effects the sufferer's ability to distinguish what is real and what is in their mind. Symptoms include strange social behavior, hearing voices, and seeing things that aren't really there.
As difficult as the illness is, there are some with schizophrenia that channel their issues into their art. One Redditor, ThePsychoticArtist, shared the work that he created. It's unconventional and sometimes difficult to look at, but it also gives rare insight into the mind of someone with a condition we might not fully understand. See some of the artist's work below.
It's hard to understand what the artist sees, but he's described some of his work in his own words.
"The circles and lines in the background were inspired by Da Vinci's drawings."
"I went to the San Diego Zoo and an elephant looked something like this."
"This is Birdie, she sings to me."
"I looked in the mirror and my eyes did this thing. I painted it."
"I see a lot of stars and swirls and circles."
"My hand has red marks on it sometimes. I saw this hand pose in an anime, so I did the same pose with my hand and drew it."
"An alien next to his alien flag."
"That guy from Hercules with blue horns."
"A jellyfish."
According the artist, this is what his hallucination looks like.
"This one is just for shits and giggles. My friend had antlers once."

text: Should we trade our first rounder? -- Could Jenkins Play for Panthers this Year? -- Mon Apr 23, 2007 The Rock Hill Herald reports while many believe the clock's ticking on DT Kris Jenkins' time with the Carolina Panthers, the team's keeping up a stiff upper lip in the face of all the recent trade speculation. The team has offered him in trade, but hasn't been overwhelmed by an offer yet. Thus, they've indicated to others they're willing to hang on to him if no one meets their price. However, they haven't talked to Jenkins about what's going on, and he's left town to go to his Maryland home until the situation is resolved. Panthers GM Marty Hurney has refused to comment on the possibility of a trade, but when he was asked last week if he or HC John Fox had spoken to Jenkins, Hurney replied: "We'll see him when he comes back for minicamp." That's the company stance, but few outside their building believe the three-time Pro Bowler will still be here a week from now. -- Rams Won't Trade a First-Rounder for Kris Jenkins -- Sun Apr 22, 2007 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the Rams will try to trade for Carolina Panthers DT Kris Jenkins, a three-time Pro Bowler once regarded as one of the league's top run stuffers. But they will not give up a first-round pick for Jenkins.

Is the 10/22 really worth it?

I have Ruger's 10/22 Mannlicher and two Marlin 795s. Side by side comparison I can tell the quality of materials and fit/finish favors Ruger, hands down. I do like the 795. I bought two of them to take my nephew to Appleseed. Of all the participants there, we were the only ones with Marlin 795s and most everyone else had Rugers. By the time, the weekend was over, I knew why. Both of the Marlins had some feeding issues off the bat. There's some polishing work to be performed in order to get them to function reliably. Also, it's much easier to change mags on the Ruger than the Marlin for the purpose of Appleseed.
That said, I do like the 795. If you're on a tight budget, I'd recommend a $795. If not, it's worth footing the bill for a 10/22.
If it were up to me, the word "got" would be deleted from the English language.

Campaigners have vowed to continue their battle to keep a specialist dementia care ward at Airedale Hospital.
Members of an action group opposing plans to shift Ward 24 to Lynfield Mount Hospital in Bradford met with district care trust bosses on Monday to discuss the issue.
Group chairman, the Rev David Griffiths, said afterwards: "It was a cordial meeting but the trust stood its ground and said it was still intending to move the ward.
"We are going to continue to fight against the decision.
"The catchment area for Ward 24 stretches right up into the Yorkshire Dales. People living in villages such as Grassington already face a long journey, and if they don't have their own transport that involves multiple buses.
"If they had to travel all the way to Lynfield Mount it would be a nightmare."
The action group has an online petition – change.org/ en-GB/petitions/simon-large-to-keep-ward-24-open – objecting to the proposals.
The trust says moving Ward 24 to a purpose-built facility at Lynfield Mount Hospital by spring 2015 is part of a wider plan to transform older people's care.

University Hospital Galway has confirmed that bone fragments found during construction work in the hospital grounds are not human.
Construction staff working on a pipe-laying project unearthed several items while digging in an area close to the hospital's helicopter landing pad.
Among the items was a piece of bone, understood to have been around 10cm in length.
A hospital spokesperson said it has been confirmed that the bone is not human.
An environmental assessment is being carried out on the area in question, where pipes will be laid as part of development work.
Construction work on the site has ceased and the Health Service Executive has notified all relevant authorities, including gardaí and Galway City Council.
Fragments of glass, fabric and other materials were also found.
One piece of glass had the year 1952 stamped on it.
At this stage, it is thought the construction workers may have discovered a waste facility from the middle of the 20th century.
A hospital spokesperson said building work would not resume until a full assessment of the site was completed.

Business Analysis, Kathleen Hass Associates
Is there such a thing as a new economy? Is the economic chaos so pervasive and unpredictable that we are victims of an uncontrollable force?
Business Analysis (BA), as Kitty Hass Associates presents it, hopes to provide innovative strategies to address modern business issues brought about by the volatile economic realities of the 21st century. She refers to BA as her way of "capitalizing on complexity" that besets all business managers throughout the world.
This seems like a full-faced challenge for everyone to gear up and stand against the economic monsters wandering about us. Just how do you make use of the chaos or complexity of our times to our advantage? It is an interesting challenge and a positive push for Business Analysis as a modern tool for attaining success.
Obviously, Business Analysis has been around for many decades although it has been called by other names or found in some other forms. It basically refers to the evaluation of business practices of organizations and the amendments or changes applied in order to make them more mature and suited to the organizations needs and goals.
Analysing or scrutinizing how one manages a business in relation to positive outcomes requires targeting "maturity levels" for particular business practices over "a predefined set of process areas that improve the organization's overall business performance" (From The State of Business Analysis Practices in Organizations (Research Report). This can be done through three essential steps:
· Understanding the market and the competitive environment
· Establishing a future vision and setting strategic goals
· Converting strategies into valuable innovation projects, and
· Executing flawlessly by being the first to market
The organization's ability to define and execute the program determines its effectiveness for innovative management. BA, therefore, consists of clearly defining and applying the solutions to issues that are encountered by an organization.
In all of this, obtaining sufficient and valuable management information is the key to accomplishing the task of Business Analysis necessary to establishing the programs and projects that will address the issues of the organization in relation to the entire economic environment and in managing its resources to achieve success.
The new economy is, therefore, one that has simply attained complexity because of the vast information and diversity of forces and entities involved in a rapidly expanding economic environment. The forces and process are basically the same as before; it is the complexity that makes modern economics seem appear new. When we innovate, we simply adapt to the way things should be done in order to address the complexity.
For instance, trying to come out with a new hamburger in a market that has only McDonald's as the competitor will be different when there are five or ten other competitors to deal with. Hence, one will have to consider location, innovative product add-ons and novel ways of promoting hamburger other than the way it has been done by those competitors (Wendy's came out with salad bars, Burger King with mushroom burgers). Analysing existing business practices of one's competitors and one's own will provide the vision toward which one can map out a company's future and executing them smoothly according to one's strategies and programs.
In this sense, Business Analysis is a vital tool for modern business success and leadership.

2014 Dallas Cowboys Free Agents
By Matthew Postins
The Dallas Cowboys expect to have more than a dozen free agents in 2014. The Cowboys are reportedly $31 million over the expected 2014 NFL salary cap. That will make it difficult to sign new free agents, much less keep the ones they expect to hit the market in March.
Below is a list of the free agents the Cowboys will see hit the market in March, barring a contract agreement before free agency begins March 11:
Restricted free agents
Restricted free agents are players with three years of NFL service. The Cowboys can tender the player a contract offer, but the player can still shop their services. The player can accept the tender or, if they sign with another team, the Cowboys will receive compensation in the form of a draft pick.
PK Dan Bailey: All Bailey does is make field goals. He's made 90 percent of his attempts in three years. He has more game-winning kicks than any Cowboys kicker in team history. He's money on kickoffs and has 50-plus range. How do you not tender this guy and keep him at least one more year?
RB Phillip Tanner: He helps on special teams but he seems to have lost his role as a back-up running back. Do the Cowboys really need him moving forward?
P Chris Jones: It probably won't cost the Cowboys much to tender him. The Cowboys like his foot. But you can find another punter.
Unrestricted free agents
These are players that can start negotiating with any team on March 8 and can sign with any team on March 11.
DE Anthony Spencer: The Cowboys would have to sign him long-term. Coming off microfracture surgery in his knee, the Cowboys might be better off letting someone else take a chance on Spencer.
DT Jason Hatcher: The vet is coming off his best season as a pro. Plus, it sounds like he doesn't really care if he comes back to Dallas. He's going to take the highest bid. After the Jay Ratliff debacle, it would be best advised to let another team take a chance on Ratliff, who is on the north side of 30 years old.
G Brian Waters: Stabilized the Cowboys' offensive line for the short time he was on it. But does Waters really want to come back for one more year, and will he be the same after his torn triceps?
G/C Ryan Cook: He spent all season on injured reserve. He's unlikely to return.
S Danny McCray: A special teams stud, McCray is a liability in coverage. The Cowboys have other special teams options and could afford to let him go.
G Brandon Carter: Who? Exactly.
LB Ernie Sims: A crafty vet who can play in any system. He's worth the veteran minimum.
LB Edgar Jones: You have to imagine the Cowboys can do better than Jones on the open market.
DE Jarius Wynn: Another veteran minimum guy would could be good depth for a defensive line that sorely needs it.
QB Jon Kitna: He'll go back to teaching math in Tacoma.
LB Orie Lemon: Signed late in the season as depth. Not sure if he has a future in Dallas.

CHRISTOPHER Maloney thinks X Factor fans will be "very surprised" by
his winner's single.
The Liverpudlian, who along with fellow finalists James Arthur and Jahmene
Douglas has already recorded the track that will be released if he is
victorious this weekend, thinks viewers will be shocked by his version.
He said: "If I'm lucky enough to win, I've recorded the winner's single, which
is for charity.
"You'll be very surprised when you listen to it. If I get through to the
grand final on Sunday I'll get to sing it."
Former cruise ship singer Christopher will only get to perform the song, which
is being kept a closely-guarded secret, if he makes it into the final two.
One of the remaining three acts will leave the competition during Saturday
night's show.
Previously, the 34-year-old has been accused of playing it safe by bringing
out the same big '80s ballads week after week.
But when he tried to perform something more modern during the semi-final the
judges slammed his performance of Michael Buble's Haven't Met You Yet.
Nicole Scherzinger said: "It is the semi-finals and I don't think that was
your strongest performance."
Louis Walsh added: "I loved your first song, but that was kind of back to
the karaoke for me, I don't think you're Michael Buble."
Speaking about his singing style Christopher told The Sun: "It's a cross
between Josh Groban and Russell Watson."

MLB.com Columnist
Marty Noble
What would an All-New York team look like?
Jeter the clear choice for shortstop; Murphy would get nod at second base
NEW YORK -- Earlier this month when the Yankees were a .500 team and the Mets could only aspire to be, I wondered how a New York hybrid might fare. How might a team made of active 2014 Mets and Yankees prosper? Would a New York entry in the postseason become a more likely contender than either team is now? (Note: The term "New York All-Star team" hasn't been used because it couldn't be justified, given the 50 active players available for the fantasy.)
And now, though Eric Young has been activated from the disabled list and Carlos Beltran and Francisco Cervelli are again functional, the choices aren't necessarily abundant. Which players, for instance, would man the middle of the diamond were the two rosters combined?
Derek Jeter would be the no-brainer choice at shortstop, but he's is essentially the only viable choice. Wilmer Flores and Ruben Tejada have had their moments in Queens, and Flores' defense has been less flawed that advertised. But even in his final season, Jeter has had more moments and fewer flaws. Moreover, he's Jeter.
Then, Tuesday night, before I began this one-mind debate about the second base assignment -- Brian Roberts or Daniel Murphy -- Jose Reyes hit the evening's first pitch as the Blue Jays faced the Yankees, one thrown by the nearly impeccable Masahiro Tanaka, into the lower stands in right field at Yankee Stadium. The resulting thought that occurred as Reyes took his 360-foot lap was that there would be no debate about shortstop if Reyes still drew his pay from the folks at Citi.
And all that public hand-wringing the Mets did following the 2011 season came flooding back. How could a club, any club, that didn't have Jeter, the next Cal Ripken, Alan Trammell, Robin Yount, Nomar Garciaparra, Omar Vizquel, Ozzie Guillen, Andrelton Simmons, or (yes) Alex Rodriguez, ever allow a talent of Reyes' caliber to leave without significant compensation? Regardless of his injury history, clubs wait for generations to sign a player of his ilk.
So we move to second base. At one point, Roberts would have been the choice, but he hardly is the player he once was, and Murphy hits more than any other middle infielder -- and most corner infielders and outfielders -- in the city.
His adventurous baserunning and his defensive skills are not special. But it's not his fault he wins by default. Morever, Murphy works at his game. If it can be practiced, he'll master it. But second base is about ad-libbing.
Back to first base. Lucas Duda improves almost daily, but Mark Teixeira is a superior glove. His switch-hitting and production make him the choice. I still think that if Teixeira hadn't fully recovered -- is his yet fully recovered? -- Ike Davis might have moved across the river instead of to the confluence of three other rivers, the Ohio, the Allegheny and the Monongahela.
Now, we go from first to third, something Reyes still does so well and most of the Mets don't. Without genuine protection in the batting order and playing home games in a ballpark designed to frustrate him, David Wright hardly is the offensive player he was when he had Reyes standing on second and Carlos Delgado standing on deck. And Yangervis Solarte is putting together a nice season in the Bronx. But I'll take the Mets' captain and toy with the notion of Solarte playing second.
The all-New York catcher is Brian McCann, not because he's in the midst of a wonderful season, but because no other catcher in town has been even that productive.
In comparison to the other positions, the outfield nearly qualifies as an embarrassment of riches. Jacoby Ellsbury plays every day, no matter what. If the team plays its home games in the Big Citi, Ellsbury is in right. If it plays in the splendidly regal park just off the Major Deegan, Curtis Granderson plays right and Ellsbury center. (Wright would love to take his chances in the Stadium's right-field wind tunnel.)
Juan Lagares in center field is a joy to watch -- regardless of ballpark -- and a must for this hybrid team with pitchers that, aside from Tanaka, aren't big on strikeouts. Let him play every day if Ellsbury's in right with Brett Gardner as the fourth outfielder, the pinch-runner and defensive replacement for left fielder Granderson.
Beltran, Solarte or maybe Murphy could DH. Better have a No. 2 catcher; Travis d'Arnaud would be fine, even though he's in the Minors right now. Need an understudy for Jeter? Tejada?
And on to the mound: Tanaka and Jon Niese are definites. Hiroki Kuroda is a possible No. 3. After them, what? Zack Wheeler or Jacob deGrom would definitely benefit from greater support this proposed NY-NY batting order could generate. And if Wheeler or deGrom didn't work, perhaps left-handed starter Vidal Nuno would be a good choice, since this team would be playing at least some games in the Bronx.
The All-New York bullpen not surprisingly would be almost all Yankees. David Robertson closes, and he's set up by Dellin Betances, Jenrry Mejia, Matt Thornton and which ever reliever is acquired when one of the extra players is sent packing or dealt.
Joe Girardi wears No. 28, and we know why. He's earned rings as a player and as a manager. Give Terry Collins a chance to manage a team that has more of what it takes and could maybe turn the occasional double play and hit with the bases loaded.
He'd still have a team with issues.

No, that is not an early seder plate, I just was a little more organized this time. Look at the size of those spuds!!! I call them my Jose Canseco potatoes for obvious reasons.
5 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
4 eggs
1/3-1/2 cup flour
2 leeks
salt and pepper
1 tbl chopped fresh parsley
Clean the leeks and chop the white and light green parts in the food processor or by hand. Grate the potatoes on the shredder disk of the food processor. You can also choose to make these by processing the potatoes with blade but I prefer the shredded consistency and so does the latke demander. Mix the chopped leeks into the potato mixture, add the flour, eggs, parsley, salt and pepper and fry in pre-heated canola oil. Don't forget to make sure the oil is hot enough so the latkes aren't too oily and fry to perfection.
Of course, cream of potato leek soup needs a cream element- so here is the sour cream topping:
1-2 cups sour cream
chopped chives
about 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper
It must be said that sour cream and potatoes are soul mates. They yearn to be together. So put your latke out of its misery and load on the sour cream.

Two separate class-actions covered investors who held Nortel stock from Oct. 24, 2000 through Feb. 15, 2001, and from April 24, 2003 through April 27, 2004. The lawsuits were filed under federal securities laws for fraud.
Nortel was a leading supplier of fiber-optic equipment to emerging Internet companies. After the Internet bust caused the company's sales to vanish, the company started creating false accounting entries showing steady equipment sales. When the fraud was uncovered, Nortel's stock eventually fell to $0.47 from a high of $124.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) extend the comment period for the proposed Food Safety Modernization Act rule on food defense. The International dairy Foods Association (IDFA) is concerned with some of the aspects of the proposed rule, and welcomed the additional time to explore better alternatives.
The "Focused Mitigation Strategies to Protect Food Against Intentional Adulteration" addresses potential acts of terrorism that could cause massive public harm and economic disruption, and focuses on processes that are likely to occur at most food manufacturing facilities.
In the Federal Register notice, FDA said it received numerous requests for an extension to allow stakeholders more time to analyze the proposed approaches and consider their full operational and economic impact. FDA also wants to ensure that the proposal is flexible enough to address the many types of food operations that will be affected.
As currently written, the proposed rule would require each facility to prepare a Food Defense Plan that would include a review of whether the facility has one or more key activity types and, if so, identify focused mitigation strategies and procedures for monitoring, taking corrective actions and verifying activities. Companies would be required to document all food defense activities, and these documents would be subject to FDA inspection.
The new deadline for comments is June 30.
High-Risk Foods
FDA also is extending the comment period on the designation of high-risk foods for tracing until May 22, which provides an additional 45 days for comment. This document requests comment on the proposed methodology for determining which foods are high risk.
According to "FDA's Draft Approach for Designating High-Risk Foods," FDA is considering classifying foods for the risk ranking based on the 28 categories of food included in the Reportable Food Registry. That means all dairy products would fall into under one category for dairy, and "representative foods" would be selected and used in the model.
The high-risk designation would be based on a comprehensive evaluation of a set of criteria, including outbreak frequency, illness occurrence, severity of illness, the likelihood of microbial or chemical contamination, potential for the food to support pathogen growth, food consumption patterns, the probability of contamination and steps taken during manufacturing to reduce contamination.
"IDFA is opposed to FDA using the broad categories mentioned in the model," said Clay Detlefsen, IDFA vice president of regulatory affairs and FSMA expert. "We want to see further refinements to FDA's approach to avoid any negative impact on foods without associated high risks. Our preferred approach is for FDA to utilize the category designations in the Food Facility Registration database. Hopefully FDA will see the wisdom in making the two consistent."
IDFA will work with members to draft and submit comments on the proposed food defense rule and the document on high-risk foods.
For more information, contact Detlefsen at firstname.lastname@example.com.
