Maiden Wellington hat-trick inspires five-goal win
by Jeremy Ruane:
with the compliments of www.sportswebsoccer.com
Hyundai A-League – Season 10 – 2014/2015 – Round 8
3pm, Sunday 30 November, 2014 – Westpac Stadium, Wellington NZ
Wellington Phoenix FC 5
Melbourne City FC 1
To the undisguised delight of the 7,410 fans present, Nathan Burns scored the first-ever hat-trick by a Wellington Phoenix player as they inflicted a stunning 5-1 hiding on Melbourne City at Westpac Stadium on 30 November to firmly implant themselves in the top five of the Hyundai A-League.
Yet for the first half-hour or so of this contest, the home team wasn't even at the races! City were all over Wellington like a rash, and could quite easily have been out of sight had they taken their chances, the first of which materialised in the sixteenth minute.
Aaron Mooy – he certainly didn't deserve to be on the losing side – unleashed a thunderous thirty-five yard free-kick which swerved and dipped violently, forcing Glen Moss into a punched save. That directed the ball skywards, and allowed the 'keeper to recover and put off the incoming figure of David Williams, as he looked to turn home the rebound.
Seconds later, the timely covering tackle of Thomas Doyle prevented Mooy from capitalising on Jacob Melling's raid down the left, while another Mooy piledriver was punched away by Moss soon after, as Melbourne laid siege to Wellington's goal.
The home team's response was led by Roly Bonevacia, whose sharp turn between Melling and Erik Paartalu caught both opponents by surprise. The Dutchman then swept past Robbie Wielaert before thrashing a twenty yarder narrowly past the far post – it was 'Goal of the Season' material had it gone in, such was the skill involved.
A stray Iain Ramsay pass left Patrick Kisnorbo in no man's land and prompted Burns to rapidly pursue the ball. Andrew Redmayne raced off his line to prevent the Wellington speedster from capitalising on the blunder on this occasion, but when it happened again in the 33rd minute, the visitors weren't so fortunate.
After Melling had gone close from twenty yards following a neat left-wing raid involving Ramsay, Williams and Mate Dugandzic, a wayward Paartalu pass was pounced on by Burns, who calmly rounded the stranded figure of Redmayne before tucking the ball home into an empty net – a goal very much against the run of play, but do you think the fans cared about that?
Of course they didn't, and nor did their heroes in black and yellow, who seemed to grow an extra leg upon taking the lead. But they were very nearly on level terms again soon after, courtesy a stray Albert Riera pass.
The midfield anchor has been a touch off his game of late, and this wayward 35th minute pass allowed Mooy to release Dugandzic down the left. He pulled the ball back for the playmaker, but Andrew Durante stepped in to deny Mooy the goal his performance merited.
Wellington were swift to take up the running after this scare, with Michael McGlinchey leading the charge. His driving run culminated in Roy Krishna causing merry hell in Melbourne's penalty area, the fleet-footed Fijian jinking this way and that before setting up Burns for what should surely have been a second goal.
But the striker's volley sailed wildly wide of the target from the edge of the six-yard box – a real let-off for Melbourne, although as it turned out, it merely delayed the inevitable.
For Wellington quickly regained possession from the resulting goal-kick, McGlinchey slipping in Bonevacia, who calmly steered an angled shot beyond the diving figure of Redmayne and inside the far post – 2-0, with five minutes left till half-time.
Suddenly, Melbourne were in damage limitation mode, as they twice staved off further goalscoring opportunities prior to the interval. Manny Muscat and McGlinchey combined to feed Burns in the 42nd minute, with the last-mentioned playing a lovely ball in behind the defence anticipating a run from Krishna.
It materialised, but so did the covering run of Wielaert, who intervened on this occasion. But the defender and his team-mates were powerless to prevent the Fijian from getting on the end of a well-flighted McGlinchey free-kick in stoppage time, Krishna's glancing header inching agonisingly past the far post to leave Wellington to enjoy a two-goal half-time lead.
Within five minutes of the start of the second spell, they had doubled it. A slalom run across the defence by McGlinchey saw him pass on possession to Burns, who had plenty to do with two defenders in front of him.
But he evaded their challenges brilliantly, engineering enough space in the penalty area from which he steered a shot beyond Redmayne – 3-0, with 47 minutes on the clock.
Three minutes later, the game was all over bar the shouting. Doyle played Krishna through the inside left channel, with nary a Melbourne defender within ten yards of him. He accelerated on before battering the ball beyond the advancing figure of Redmayne and into the top far corner – 4-0, and how!
Wellington eased off the throttle after this, and Melbourne weren't slow to regain the ascendancy. Substitute Stefan Mauk blazed over from the edge of the penalty area in the 56th minute, following good work by Damien Duff, while Mooy twice went close from thirty yards just after the hour mark, from open play then via a free-kick which Moss punched to safety.
In the 67th minute, substitute James Brown outfoxed Bonevacia near the byline, forcing the Wellington man to trip him – in the penalty area. Referee Jarred Gillett had no hesitation, and nor did Williams, whose unerring finish beyond Moss was ultimately of consolation value only.
For Riera and company tightened things up after conceding that goal, and the visitors were rarely sighted as an attacking threat again. The same cannot be said of the home team, however, particularly substitute Michael Boxall, who was a regular invader of Melbourne's penalty area in the latter stages of the match as he pursued a rare goal.
'Twasn't to be for the powerful defender, however, but there was time for Burns to complete his hat-trick – the first ever by a Wellington Phoenix player. He achieved the milestone with a twice-taken penalty five minutes from time, after Wielaert had fouled Durante in the area amid the jostling which accompanied a McGlinchey corner.
That made the score 5-1 to Wellington, a comprehensive victory for the home team, who are now six points clear of sixth-placed Melbourne, and four behind fourth-placed Sydney with the first third of the season nearly upon us.

Big second-half plays were enough to offset long stretches of frustration for Tyrod Taylor and the Buffalo Bills' offense Sunday.
Buffalo used a big second-half surge to knock off the Jacksonville Jaguars in a 28-21 win in front of 67,849 at New Era Field.
Taylor — a Hampton High graduate and former Virginia Tech quarterback — went 12-of-18 for 166 yards and a passing touchdown, adding seven rushes for 38 yards and a touchdown in the win.
Buffalo didn't turn over the ball Sunday, but Taylor was sacked five times and often struggled to make quick decisions in the first half against a speedy Jaguars defense. Buffalo's offense got a few boos early on, especially after the...

I'm still not convinced digital scrapbooking is for me, but... I am learning lots! I can see why there would be an addiction to it, it still has the essence of traditional scrappin' with all the pretty patterned paper (just not tactile- or maybe it's the spreading out with my supplies that I enjoy so much). However, now that my art room is all packed up due to the renos, I just might get use to this! LOL!
Have a great night everyone!

"Will our Society ever be Color-Free?" I've had countless conversations on this issue. The more and more I hear about the injustice that has occurred in Jena, LA (a central Louisiana town), the more and more it upsets me.
Thank God for the Al Sharptons, Jesse Jacksons, Martin Luther Kings, etc. who have not put down the torch for justice for all. Prayers work and uniting together works. Michael Bell was freed on bail Thursday.
In this day and time, we shouldn't be dealing with racial issues, but we are. In this day and time, our children should be free to live in a society that will accept them on their merits, not the color of their skin.
Whether you're Black, Hispanic, White, etc…it shouldn't matter. What should matter is your character? How can we develop the character of our kids if we're always having to explain the ignorance and hatred of some people's actions? What's going on in Jena shouldn't be happening in 2007.
Do you think our society will ever be color-free?
To add some food for thought, here's a poem I wrote on the subject.
© 2007 by Shelia M. Goss
The color of my skin shouldn't define me
Because when I go out of this country,
American is all they see.
My Brown-sugar, Caramel, Ebony, Hershey-chocolate,
Mahogany, Mocha, Vanilla complexion
Is only an outer shell.
You have to dig Deeper,
If you want to know
What's embedded in my mind.
My skin color might hint to my Races
Past struggles and pain,
But don't lose the fact that we're
Individuals and not all the same.
One day I hope we can all
Be one big happy family
In the meantime, I'll leave a legacy
To the younger generation.
Show by example on how to get through
Life's complications.
I will teach them how to love
Through my own interactions.
I will show them how to give
And not wait for someone's reaction.
I will encourage them to dream and not
Let society dictate who they can be.
I will show them the benefit of believing in
Oneself, but most of all in a Higher Being.
I hope to see the manifestation of my vision
A society that's COLOR-FREE.

If you ever dreamed of sitting opposite Chris Tarrant on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? or bought a friend a lottery ticket for their 16th birthday and suddenly had the horrific thought that they could actually win and regretted your generosity (just me?), you'll be well accustomed to the fantasy that, one day, you'll become a millionaire.
A holiday home in the Bahamas.
A yacht moored at the beach on the Amalfi Coast.
A lifetime supply of Walkers Squares Salt And Vinegar crisps.
One can only dream of such luxuries, right?
Well, apparently not because according to creative website Bright Side, you can actually become a millionaire pretty easily. Well, by the age of 65, at least.
With the advice of financial adviser David Bach in his book Smart Couples Finish Rich, Bright Side has created a chart showing how a smidgen of commitment and a career full of packed lunches and freebies can result in you flashing the big bucks when you retire.
According to the chart, if 25-year-olds start saving £2.81 a day (£85.78 a month or £1026.25 a year), it'll only take them 40 years to become millionaires.
Meanwhile, those in their 30s can reach that financial milestone with a manageable saving of £1823.48 a year.
While the numbers in the chart might not be 100 per cent accurate (given the fact we all have to pay those things called tax and rent), it does provide a good idea of how saving a little bit of 'dollar' can help you get on the track to affording that yacht of yours.
So, how do you start to become a millionaire today?
Swap Prêt A Manger lunches for homemade soup, public transport for a brisk walk and opt for a glass of wine instead of the bottle.
See you in First Class on the flight to the Caribbean, my friends.

With its never-ending forests and gleaming blue lakes, Ontario beckons hikers and nature lovers with its awe-inspiring natural splendor. But there's far more to the popular Canadian province than the great outdoors alone. Ontario boasts vibrant cities, including Ottawa, the Canadian capital known for its monumental Parliament Hill, and Toronto, with its impressive CN Tower that pierces the skyline on the shores of Lake Ontario. Between them, Ottawa and Toronto boast a trove of world-class museums, cultural hubs and some of the best Ontario vacation rentals around, perfect for city slickers and outdoor types alike.
If you're seeking fresh air and adventure, Ontario vacation rentals provide the perfect basecamp for an action-packed itinerary. You can hike the Sleeping Giant mesas near Thunder Bay, stroll among the wooded grandeur of Temagami's Old Growth Forest or explore the shores and forests of Bruce Peninsula National Park. If that sounds like too much effort, you could always kick back on Ontario's sandy freshwater beaches. Come winter, it's all about skiing on the slopes of Blue Mountain and other nearby resorts, while year-round fun always awaits in lively Ottawa and Toronto
You'll find most of Ontario's top attractions in Ottawa and Toronto. Visit Parliament Hill in Canada's capital, known for its stately gothic grandeur, and the nearby National Gallery of Canada, which boasts an incredible trove of historic and contemporary artworks. The Rideau Canal is famous for becoming a "skating street" when it freezes over in winter, while diners can enjoy a 360-degree view from Toronto's striking CN tower. Ontario's best-known attraction is shared with neighboring New York state. Straddling the border between the United States and Canada, Niagara Falls ranks amongst the world's most-iconic natural wonders and is even more breathtaking when viewed from a helicopter.
Due to the province's immense scale, weather conditions can vary depending on the location of your Ontario vacation rental. Typically, there are 4 distinct seasons here, with January often the coldest month of the year and July the warmest and most humid. Winters tend to be snowy, which is great news for winter sports fans, though they're generally colder and longer in the northern part of the province than in the south. Check the weather before you travel and plan your packing appropriately.
When visiting Ontario, you'll want to pack your camera. With its thick, fragrant forests, sandy lakeshores, rolling mountains and cascading waterfalls, the never-ending wilderness is one of Mother Nature's most-beautiful works of art. And that's before you take into account the grandeur of the roaring Niagara Falls. As you'd expect, the province flourishes with native flora and wildlife, with beavers, bears, deer and moose all calling it home. Ontario's scenery changes seamlessly with the seasons and looks particularly spectacular in fall, with its rich orange and red hues, and winter, when it glistens beneath a blanket of snow.

The foyer of the Lowry has a 16m high curved glass facade, flanked on one side by a cylindrical tower, on the other by a hexagonal building, and bi-sected by the main entrance and booking office.The Lyric Theatre, enclosed in a canted cast insitu concrete wall, rises behind it. The foyer has a stainless steel insulated roof supported by a series of painted 350 x 350mm cruciform steel columns and tapered I-section beams and purlins.
The facade leans forward towards the plaza; it is formed of 25mm singleglazed laminated (12mm/PVB/ 12mm) glass panels set between composite I-section stainless steel mullions. One edge of each glass panel is secured at the inner flange of an Isection with stainless steel angles while the other edge is secured at the outer flange of the adjacent I-section.
The facade is faceted at the mullions to form the curve;
the I-sections are formed of flat plates to accommodate the changes in angle.
Panels of 2.9 x 2.4m glass, one above the other, are installed between each mullion; they are divided by solid stainless-steel transoms which help to stiffen the structure.
At ground level the mullions are supported on steel brackets, fixed to the concrete floor slab, which project over a paved ha-ha. A flexible joint at the head allows the roof to move + or - 30mm. The facade is designed for a one-in-50-year wind load to accommodate + or - 100mm movement.
As the foyer is an interstitial space the facade is single-glazed and uninsulated. The effects of thermal bridging are minimised by warm air blown at high and low level.

Rock n Roll San Diego Marathon Comeback: Still a lot of work to do
On June 1, 2014 I ran my first marathon since June of 2007 at the Rock n Roll San Diego Marathon. Ironically I was returning to the last marathon I ran 7 years previously (and my fastest marathon time posted). It was a long 7 years without marathon running in my life. In 2013 I started to train in late March to try to squeeze in the Rock n Roll Marathon, but after a horrendous 20-mile training run in mid-May, I scrapped my plans to run it. I wasn't ready. I knew it would be a struggle and I knew I would be unhappy with my result. So I just didn't do it and focused on a possible winter 2014 marathon. Then when it came time to train in the fall, I decided to just wait until spring 2014 and I made plans to run RnR in June here in San Diego.
I may not have been ready to run the RnR Marathon this year either. But, I did complete the race, just not in the time I wanted. So here goes. This is my story and analysis of what went wrong and how I can learn from it.
Leading up to this race, I was able to several long runs of 14+ miles. I started tracking my training in January and began doing my long runs on the weekends. I started out with 8 and 9 mile runs by mid-January. By Feb I was up to 10 & 11 milers. In March I really turned the training up with a 14 and 15 mile run. My paces, according to my Nike + on my iPod, said I did those runs at close to 7:00 per mile pace, just under at 6:57 in fact. I never doubted the accuracy of the Nike application. I had calibrated it in February so I thought it was the truth. I felt strong. I felt confident. (FORESHADOWING HERE).
April 5, a 19 mile run at 7:07 pace in the sun. I felt decent. Everything was going my way. I never doubted anything. I felt I could sustain my pacing. I followed that run with an 18.5 mile run on April 12 at 7:09 pace, again in the sun. April 19, a 20-mile run at 7:03 pace. Things were looking up. My goal was to do at least 2 runs at 20+ miles. Ideally I wanted 4 but I didn't want to push it too much. It was my first marathon in 7 years. I wanted to make it to the starting line.
Here are the final long runs I did in the training cycle:
April 26: 14.6 miles at 7:03 pace
May 3: 18.69 miles at 7:09 pace
May 9: 22.1 miles at 7:01 pace (FINAL LONG RUN)
May 17: 17.07 miles at 6:55 pace
May 24: 14.06 miles at 6:50 pace
Based on my training, I felt I had this marathon in the bag. My original goal was to just run anything under 3:10:00, my Boston Marathon qualifying time for a male 35-39 years old. I'm 38 now. I figured that I could easily get under 3:10 but I was really training for a 2:59 (my secret goal) so I would have some cushion should anything go wrong in the race. I felt that if I could hold the paces I had during training, I could go a little faster (6:50 pace) in the race and possibly toy with another sub-3 hour marathon. I have done it twice in my marathon career.
SIDENOTE: The first time was at the 2006 Boston Marathon where I ran the race of my life and finished at 2:59:07. Then, the next year at the Rock n Roll San Diego Marathon I ran another PR with a 2:57:41 finish. I was on fire those years. Then I got injured in Dec 2007 playing tennis and tearing my right hamstring badly. All bets were off. Off and on PT sessions and I sat 7 years on the sidelines without running another marathon until 2014. I missed the best marathoning years of my life (ages 32-37).
MARATHON SUNDAY - June 1, 2014
Miles 1-6: I purposely didn't run too fast in those early miles when it's so easy to do so. Everyone is pumped and full of adrenaline. I wanted to stay EXACTLY on a 1:30:00 pace for the first half. I wanted to to have enough juice for the second half. These miles go from Balboa Park up through Hillcrest, down Park Blvd to downtown. Then it crosses through Little Italy (a few inclines). I crossed the 10K split at 42:24 (6:49 pace). Right on target.
Miles 6-13: I kept plugging along. There definitely were some minor hills here and other inclines I didn't expect. Through Little Italy after the 10K I definitely felt these. I also felt like I was sweating a lot more than normal. I was drinking the bottle I had around my waist and grabbed water at the stations every 2 miles.
Around mile 7-8 we entered Mission Hills and another small incline. I decided to take one of the GU gels they were handing out. Just in case. We made our way through Old Town (more inclines), then along Morena Blvd adjacent to Mission Bay Park. I knew the half-way point was along the bike course in Mission Bay Park. So in order to get over there we had to cross a bridge over the 5 freeway around mile 11 that also was a minor hill. I took my Cliff shot bloks here with water. Actually my bottle fell so I had to stop and grab it. My goal was to get to the half marathon by 1:30. I crossed at 1:30:18, 6:53 pace! RIGHT ON PACE!
Miles 14-20: Once I passed mile 14 I knew trying for a sub-3 hour marathon was out of the question. I was already fatigued, but I felt like I had some room to slow and not blow my chances at at least the sub 3:10:00. I kept moving and just focused on staying within distance and keeping a cushion. Miles 17-19 were definitely challenging me. I fought and fought and tried not to slow down. Before we went onto the 163 and faced the MAJOR hill, there was a minor hill in that we had to go across a bridge to get to the other side of the 5 during the last part of mile 19. I didn't like this at all. We were on the freeway now and mile 20 was right in front of me. I crossed mile 20 at 2:21:42, a 7:05 pace overall.
My actual time from crossing the half marathon split to mile 20 was 51:24 (6.89 miles at 7:27 pace). So I did slow down considerably from my first half pace. If I held this pace I would finish at 3:06-3:07 and change. I knew I would lose a few minutes on the hill though. It was going to be close. The sun also came out right as I was getting onto the freeway. Great.
Miles 20-21: I knew going in that the race had this MAJOR hill from mile 20-21. I figured it was less than a mile and I didn't think it was going to be that bad. I even drove on it in the days before since it was on the northbound side of the 163 freeway. It seemed gradual but I really couldn't assess the true nature of it.
I am going to say this now and I honestly believe it's the truth. This was the most difficult hill of ANY race I have EVER run in my ENTIRE LIFE. Period. Having this hill at this stage of a marathon is absolutely INSANE. Since I have run Boston Marathon 4 times, I honestly believe RnR is MORE DIFFICULT. This hill is EXACTLY 1 mile long with no breaks, all incline. There are no areas where the hill levels off and then continues to ascend. On Boston Marathon's Heartbreak Hill, there are areas where you have breaks of flatness. Not on this one.
I tried my hardest to NOT WALK. I made it about 3/4 of the way up and I just felt I needed to walk in order to save myself from collapse. I walked about 30 seconds and then ran the rest of the way up. The hill ended with the on ramp to get to Hillcrest and University Avenue on 10th ave. I had nothing left. As I crossed mile 21, I looked at the clock and determined I needed to run 7:40 pace the rest of the race (5.2 miles) to just squeak by with a sub 3:10:00 and a Boston Marathon qualifying time. Given the state of my body and my mind I knew odds were against me. I tried though.
Miles 22-24: As I crossed mile 22 I looked at the clock and I knew I wasn't going to break 3:10:00. I kept thinking about the 163 hill and how truly devastating it was. I was becoming extremely thirsty since the sun was out in full force now. This isn't how I wanted this marathon to end. At this point I was toying with the idea of walking the rest in. But I still wanted to post a decent time. I just didn't know if it was worth it to kill myself since I knew I wasn't going to finish under 3:10:00. I ended up walking portions of mile 22 and 23. I tried to walk only 20-30 second spurts. I only did this a few times per mile. As we made our way through Morley field, yet another hill. Not fun. Then finally we were on Pershing and I knew mile 24 was at the top of that hill. I decided I would run the rest of the race in (as much as I could). I flew painfully down Pershing and as it flattened out I walked again for 20 seconds. I then forced myself to run.
Miles 25-26.2: My legs were completely shot. It was painful to move. I could barely run but I ran. I just wanted to be done with it. I wanted to eat the pecan roll my good friend Alex promised she would bring to me at the finish line. I felt disappointed that all this training resulted in a sub-par performance. As I made my way down the final stretch I saw the clock read 3:18 something. I ran as hard as I could to stay within the 3:18 minute and finished at 3:18:52. It was my 4th slowest time out of the 11 marathons I have run since 2001. I finished 159th overall out of 5400 runners. Not bad, but I've certainly done better.
Finish line delirium: After I crossed the finish line I bent over to stretch my hamstrings, which felt awful and like I had lead in my blood. I had so much pain in my legs. I actually sat on the ground for a moment to catch my breath. I was not in a good state. I got back up since I was determined to find Alex and Jason who were waiting for me somewhere in the family meeting area. I told them to go to the "B" section and to expect me around 3 hours after the race started. So I was a little off. I then became very lightheaded.
A half marathon finisher girl asked me if I was ok. I could barely answer her. I told her I was dizzy and needed to sit down. I was stumbling as I walked, almost like a drunk, but a medicated drunk. She got someone from the medical tent to come over and I was wheeled into the tent. I was there for the next hour. They gave me Gatorade with added salt (disgusting!!), ice bags and told me to put my feet up on a box whileI laid in the cot. After the dizziness was mostly gone the next task was to be able to stand up. It took me 15 min to be able to do that. I then had to lay back down again and start over again. Finally I decided to leave and try to walk it off. I found Alex and Jason, who were miraculously waiting in the Family Reunion section. The walk out of the finish area to that section felt longer than the actual marathon itself! I bit into the pecan roll (despite not having much of an appetite).
Marathon Post-Mortem: When I looked at my Nike+ tracker on my iPod it said I ran 28 miles instead of 26.2. This meant that all of my runs using that application were inaccurate. This meant that it said I was running faster then I really was. This wasn't good. This wasn't good at all. I was led to believe I was in better shape than I actually was. All those "7:03" paced training runs were actually a lot slower. I have determined the pace was most likely off by at least 20-30 seconds per mile. I can't quite nail it down. Regardless, if I had had an accurate training device, I may have approached the race differently.
I have a few options if I still want to qualify for the 2015 Boston Marathon.
Option 1: Run another marathon before registration begins in mid-September for the Boston Marathon. That means I need to run a full marathon in under 3:10:00. I have found one race in Ventura, CA. The Ventura Marathon on Sept 7. The course is relatively flat from what I have read and there should be good coastal fog and cloud cover up there. I would basically start formalized training in late June through Sept. That means an additional 8 weeks of training. I'll probably need to build up to another 20+ mile run, maybe 2. It's a short time span but I am utilizing the training base I already have.
Option 2: Focus on running a marathon in early 2015 to qualify for Boston Marathon in 2016. Since I will be turning 39 in December, that means for the 2016 race I will be 40 (YIKES) but my Boston qualifying time becomes 3:15:00 instead of 3:10:00. Five more valuable minutesI will gain! This seems more realistic.
I am leaning to Option 1. Still undecided. I'm not ready to give up marathons just yet. I have run 6 qualifying times for the Boston Marathon. I still feel I have a few more in me.

Semphonic's employee's have been posting to their own blogs for a while now (at least 6 months) but Gary Angel's SemAngel is the only one I've read regularly – and that blog has been in existence much longer than the others. However, I came across Paul Legutko's Semphonic blog today (care a shared bookmark by S. Hamel in Google Reader) and read with interest about The Future of Web Analytics Consulting.
The idea is this – web analytics consultants work on the web channel, they use tools that relate to things you can measure online via the web channel (or online channel) – that's our identity. However, as Paul points out, companies are moving towards treating their business and an extension of the online channel and overlaid onto it. That would mean a web data analyst might end up being called a call center analyst, a CRM Analyst or some other kind of analyst and the roles of being a web analyst may eventually dissolve into overall business intelligence analytics.
Like Paul, I'd hate to see what we do end up losing it's identity and Legutko doesn't think it needs to happen.
However, I'm not sure what the landscape is going to look like 3 years from now – it may well be that 5 years from now the Web Analytics Association would have already changed it's name. It's possible.

Unfortunately since I am in England, and actually have to you know, work for a living, I will probably be asleep or close to it by the time that vote happens. Especially since votes in Congress rarely happen at their exact scheduled time.
We shall see though. It is almost a forgone conclusion that Holder will be found in Contempt this afternoon. That just raises the question of what exactly does that mean.
Someone has to bring the actual criminal charges against him in front of a Grand Jury. Since the District Attorney for D.C. Ronald Machen has to actually bring the charges. Problem is Holder is his boss. Fox News asks the question can Holder just use prosecutorial discretion since technically the DOJ has to bring the charges against the head of the DOJ and not prosecute himself?
If he could/did do that how bad would the fallout be?

Tamil may refer to:
Tamil /ˈtæmɪl/ (தமிழ், tamiḻ, [t̪ɐmɨɻ] ?) is a Dravidian language predominantly spoken by the Tamil people of India and northern Sri Lanka, and also by the Tamil diaspora. Tamil is an official language of two countries, Singapore and Sri Lanka, and has official status in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the Indian Union Territory of Puducherry. It is also used as one of the languages of education in Malaysia, along with English, Malay and Mandarin. In India, outside of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, Tamil is also spoken in the states of Kerala, Puducherry and Andaman and Nicobar Islands as a secondary language and by minorities in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. It is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India and was the first Indian language declared as a classical language, which was done by the Government of India in 2004. The language is also spoken by Tamil minorities in Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, United Kingdom, Mauritius, Canada,South Africa,Fiji,Germany, the Philippines, the Netherlands, Indonesia and France, as well as smaller emigrant communities elsewhere.
The Room mansion (房宿, pinyin: Fáng Xiù) is one of the Twenty-eight mansions of the Chinese constellations. It is one of the eastern mansions of the Azure Dragon.
Room is a 2005 independent drama film written and directed by Kyle Henry and starring Cyndi Williams. An overworked, middle-aged Texas woman embezzles from her employer and abandons her family to seek out a mysterious room that has been appearing to her in visions during seizure-like attacks.
The film currently holds an approval rating of 69% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Room (formerly Room of One's Own) is a Canadian quarterly literary journal that features the work of emerging and established women and genderqueer writers and artists. Launched in Vancouver in 1975 by the West Coast Feminist Literary Magazine Society, or the Growing Room Collective, the journal has published an estimated 3,000 women, serving as an important launching pad for emerging writers. Currently, Room publishes short fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, art, feature interviews, and features that promote dialogue between readers, writers and the collective, including "Roommate" (a profile of a Room reader or collective member) and "The Back Room" (back page interviews on feminist topics of interest). Collective members are regular participants in literary and arts festivals in Greater Vancouver and Toronto.
The journal's original title (1975-2006) Room of One's Own came from Virginia Woolf's essay A Room of One's Own. In 2007, the collective relaunched the magazine as Room, reflecting a more outward-facing, conversational editorial mandate; however, the original name and its inspiration is reflected in a quote from the Woolf essay that always appears on the back cover of the magazine.
Lonely, the life that I once led.
Strange the paths on which we tread
Led me to you, unlikely but true.
Sabra girl, clouding my view.
Rainy, the day the first time we met.
Deep was the talk as we lay on your bed.
It didn't seem wrong to sing a sad song.
Sabra girl, soon you'd be gone.
Early, the morning and sad the goodbye.
With a wave of your hand and a smile of your eye.
So lately did meet, no sooner to part.
Sabra girl, homeward must start.
Rosy, the lines that you wrote with your hand.
Reading between them to misunderstand,
I made the mistake you said not to make.
Yes, reading your letters conviction did grow.
I thought it a chance and I knew I must go.
It's hard to believe I could be so naive.
Sabra girl, flattered but to deceive.
Now you just told me that a friendship is all.
I'm forced to repair the breach in my wall.
Illusions and dreams as usual it seems.
Sabra girl, they have been my downfall.
Lonely, the life and dismal the view.
Closed is the road that leads to you.
Since better can't be as friends we'll agree.

About the time Minnesota's 2012 regular firearms deer season was wrapping up, Leslie McInenly became the Department of Natural Resources' big-game coordinator.
That's the job most often in the spotlight if things turn sour for the state's roughly 500,000 deer hunters.
McInenly, a 37-year-old Stillwater resident with a background in elk research, had worked as the DNR employee on staff at the Minnesota Forest Resources Council. She took over as deer boss from Lou Cornicelli, who had done the job for a decade.
As the final days ticked off before Saturday's deer opener, McInenly spoke with the Pioneer Press, reflecting on her first year and looking ahead.
Here is a portion of that interview.
Q. I know you're predicting a deer harvest similar to last year's and a similar deer population. Winter mortality wasn't that bad?
A. The areas that were impacted were in far northern Minnesota, and they certainly saw low fawn recruitment. The winter basically hit so late that the population modeling was already worked through. We were setting the seasons knowing that we'd see more mortality in, say, the Tower area.
Q. So those late snows were so out-of-the-norm that you had to try to estimate mortality based on anecdotes and reports from wildlife managers in those areas?
A. Yeah. There certainly were some tales of starvation, and you can crack open the femur and tell that the animal was starving. But that was really just for a few of those permit areas up north. I remember some of those areas in the northwest, I was kind of surprised that some of the wildlife managers said no, that they weren't seeing all that much mortality. The previous year, we had a bumper crop from a mild winter, so we had a little bit of cushion there, as well.
Q. So is that the statewide theme, if there is one?
A. I don't think it is the winter severity. If there's a state theme, I think it's actually stability, if there is such a thing. We expect our harvest to be about the same. We have about the same number of lottery areas. What happened was that hunter choice decreased and a lot flipped over to managed, so we have more areas where you can take up to two deer.
Q. The DNR said 80 percent of the state is at its population goal. Is that a sign that, in your mind, the state is successfully managing the population?
A. I think we've been there around 80 percent for a few years. But, yes, according to the population goals we had set. Of course, we're going to be getting back into those goals to see if they need adjusting.
Q. What's the plan for that?
A. We want to revisit goals for the whole state in the next two to three years. We're hitting the southeast this year. We're going to be asking the public to start thinking about that. The division recently did a study looking at how well we engaged the public in the last goal-setting process. We'll change some things. We want to collect some more public input before the citizen advisory meetings this time, not just after.
But as we've got it planned, it is going to look pretty similar to the last time: inviting public input but also setting up these citizen advisory teams made up of stakeholders. In the southeast, we've already gotten some pretty good information from hunters and landowners and their expectations and perceptions about populations.
Q. Did that come out of the antler-point restriction (APR) process?
A. Some of it did, but we want to get some more comments.
Q. Are you looking at doing APR elsewhere?
A. Not really within the DNR. It's not that we're not considering it at all, but we've basically decided it's not a good use of our resources. During the last legislative session, they gave us authority to implement APR in the 300-series (southeast Minnesota) but not elsewhere without legislative permission.
But if there seems to be increasing support to look at another area, we can certainly do that. I guess I'd be hesitant to propose something while we're revisiting population goals.
Q. It sounds as if what you're saying is you're not interested in doing all that work, all those surveys and meetings, and then proposing something only to have it shot down at the Legislature.
A. Right.
Q. Looking to change crossbow regulations and treat them like bows instead of firearms?
A. At this point I haven't been getting piles and piles of emails on that issue.
Q. Wisconsin has done away with the state-imposed shotgun-only zone. Any talk of that here?
A. Nothing in the past year that I've heard of.
Q. When you took this job, you hadn't actually hunted deer. Have you yet, and will you try this year?
A. I haven't yet. I'm going to go out this year, but I may or may not be hunting. We'll see.
Q. Was the first year harder or easier than you expected, and what surprised you, if anything?
A. I suppose this year's probably been easier than it will be because a lot of this was stuff that Lou (Cornicelli, McInenly's predessor) and Marrett (Grund, former farmland deer project leader in Madelia) started. I certainly haven't made an impression yet. That probably will take time.
Q. Has it felt like the hot seat?
A. Yeah, at times, but I knew that going into it, so I'm not sure I've been surprised by that. And certainly a lot of the interesting things in the past year have related to the antler restrictions.
It's also been interesting working with elk and moose, as well. We've had the season closure of moose and changing interests in the elk population.
Q. Was the closure of the moose hunt controversial? Seemed like a no-brainer with a lot of support.
A. You end up influencing how the tribes deal with their seasons. Those sorts of things are tricky when you have new people like me involved.
Q. As far as elk, are there more calls to grow the herd instead of trying to suppress it to protect private property?
A. This year the commissioner actually received a request from locals in Kittson County to close the season to grow the herd. I think the first step is pulling back together these advisory groups that were originally convened. The elk management plan (from 2009) expires in 2015. I'm sure we'll hear from all sides when we open up that topic.

During the holiday season, drawing Father Christmas or Santa Claus can be a fun activity for kids of many ages. To complete the drawing, you will need paper, a pencil, an eraser, and markers or paints to color in your drawing afterwards.
Start with the face
Draw a circle for Santa's face, leaving enough room above the circle for his hat and a lot more room below for his body. Draw an oval or part of an oval for his nose just below the center of the circle. Add Santa's eyes a bit above and on either side of the nose. Draw a curve that looks like a shallow hill or upside down "u" for each eye. You can make the eyes look closed, or draw small open eyes on the undersides of those curves.
Add the facial hair
Draw eyebrows not far above the eyes. They can look like long rectangles with rounded edges or be drawn bushy. Draw his mustache. Starting from the sides of the nose, draw lines that slant down and out, end at a point, and then are reconnected just below the nose. Erase the bottom third of your circle, and draw a beard in its place that is often as long as the head.
Draw his clothes
Start with Santa's hat, which has a fuzzy part that should sit right on the eyebrows and tapers toward the end with a fuzzy ball. Usually Santa is also drawn with a big red coat, red pants, black boots and green gloves.

Announcement for the Call for Papers for a Conference on Transforming Capacity for African Development
The African Development Bank (AfDB) through its capacity development department, the African Development Institute (EADI), and in collaboration with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) envisages, plan to host a high level conference on "Transforming Capacity for African Development" in the fourth quarter of 2014. The aim of this conference is to take stock of issues, frameworks, methods, and lessons for transforming capacity as a key input to achieving sustainable African development. The conference contributions will also highlight best practices and identify knowledge and action gaps in developing capacities for achieving sustainable development in Africa. Addressing these capacity limitations requires looking into various areas including: agriculture and food security, infrastructure development, regional integration, private sector development, skills, technology and job creation, gender and inclusive growth, fragility and socio-economic vulnerability, climate change, environmental sustainability and green growth, governance and accountability, and migration and human security. In the context of the above areas, the conference themes will be arranged in the following six thematic areas:
- Theme 1: Conceptual issues and introduction to capacity development, including the key actors, history, and frameworks commonly used for sustainable development in African countries.
- Theme 2: Available evidence on strengthening technological, resource management, and value-chain capacities and their contribution to sustainable development.
- Theme 3: Institutional and organizational capacity for transforming African economies. The authors and discussants will bring out the lessons learned from past and current approaches to institutional and organizational capacity development.
- Theme 4: Strengthening policy capacity at various levels.
- Theme 5: Monitoring and evaluation issues in capacity development and identifying challenges and lessons in measuring, mapping, and monitoring capacity strengthening interventions.
- The final theme area will capture the way forward for the next 10 years: pulling together ten leading views from policymakers and practitioners.
Each paper should attempt to explicitly define the concepts, contextualize the issues, review the extant literature on the subject, critically interrogate the key issues, and provide empirical evidence in support of all arguments and conclusions. It is important that authors make use of African case studies from different parts of the continent to cover the variety of existing scenarios and to support their conclusions and policy recommendations. Papers are to be written either in English or French. The final paper should be 8,000 - 10,000 words (max) in length, excluding figures, plates, and references.
This call is open to development practitioners and/or researchers/academics, with an advanced academic degree and/or working experience in the social sciences, resources management, agriculture, public policy, development statistics, economics, agricultural economics, development studies or a related field. Submissions from policy think-tanks working on capacity development are also to be considered.
It is expected that this conference will provide an avenue for the interaction and creation of a network of practitioners in the field of capacity development. It will also serve as a tool for policy dialogue on pertinent issues relating to capacity development while also serving as a knowledge sharing and management platform by consolidating all contributions made into a book. This will be based on papers presented in this conference.
To apply, please submit a CV (listing publications) and a 2 – 3 page outline (1.5 spacing; 12 cpi font size) of your proposed paper. The submission should indicate which set or theme one intends to contribute to (Theme 1 – 6). All submissions to be send to Mr Nkoanyane Sebutsoe (firstname.lastname@example.com) in copy to Mr George Kararach (email@example.com) and Dr Suresh Babu (firstname.lastname@example.com) latest by 2nd May, 2014. Your communication should explicitly make reference to the TCAD 2014 Call for Papers and state clearly which set of theme (Themes 1 – 6) the submission is for. Only successful applicants will be contacted.

never would have thought my fav anime TRIGUN!!!!!!!!! would be blessed by piconjo epic kissness!!!!!!!!
The best part of the last review is that Linkfeight pretty much admits to repeatedly subjecting himself to something he hates. Piconjo and GAO have made their NG "career" on mocking people, so I imagine his criticism inspires much laughter. In essence, Linkfeight is a glutton for useless punishment.
Once again, another piece of Piconjo crap.If you call this awsome your frickin mentally retarded or gay.(or both) I do know what I'm talking about, Piconjo and his followers suck!!!!!
Love trigun not as much as Inuyasha but still it awesome!!!! Keep on going down this road next time do vash or something! And dont listen to thoas dumbass fuckers they dont what their talking about! It is great! I<3 piconjo!
Same thing, just a different background and rock.
Since it's all pretty much the same thing by now, I'm giving all your Epic Kisses a 1. This gets a 2 because it had some good rock music, just a shame I clicked x before I could go on, I've seen everything before.

Lifetime transfers: transfers by close companies: introduction
Since, in general, Inheritance Tax is chargeable on transfers made by individuals, without specific legislation transfers through companies would not be subject to Inheritance Tax.
The provisions in IHTA84/S94 through to IHTA84/S102 lift the corporate veil and
- attribute to the participators in a close company a transfer of value made by the company and
- treat alterations in capital or rights as a disposition made by the participators.
IHTA84/S102 (1) adopts the definition of a close company for the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts. In general terms, it is a UK registered company with 5 or fewer participants/directors.
'Particpator' is also defined in IHTA84/S102(1) by reference to section 454 Corporation Tax Act 2010. In broad terms 'particpator' means a shareholder, someone with voting rights in the company, or someone entitled to share in the distributions made by the company.

Oil on old art board, 10" by 7 7/8", unframed, signed in ink at lower right "Francis Smith" or "H. Francis Smith", not dated but likely early 20th century. I have researched the name but am unable to link this attractive work to a listed artist; it does NOT appear to be a work by Francis Hopkinson Smith. Nevertheless the painting is very pleasing and an excellent example of impressionist work. Found in California, it could be a California work, or possibly an eastern scene. The painting could be lightly cleaned, as there's a slight haze over the surface, and a small abrasion is near the trunk of the tree at right, but basically this could be framed and placed on the wall. More research could turn up more information on the artist. .

'It's been a busy few months. In May 2012 I organised a return painting trip to Sennen in Cornwall with a group of plein air painting pals. It was great to have Andrew King ROI and some of his art friends from Norfolk join in all the fun! June was marked by a painting session for the Diamond Jubilee Pageant with the BBC on the Millennium bridge. Weather wise, it was a complete washout but we stuck it out and I was pleased to get two paintings done on the day.
" Over the summer I've been out and about painting on location, particularly enjoying some local allotment studies. With work shown at the Hawker Gallery in Amersham (ROI, Marine and Heritage exhibitions) and the 'Best of the Bath Prize' show with the Bath Gallery, attention then turned to the 2nd annual show with the 'Plein air brotherhood' at the A&K Wilson Gallery in Harpenden (October 2012). I was also delighted to have two plein air paintings accepted into the Royal Society of Marine Artists annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries (October 2012). In November a group of us are heading back to Venice for a week of painting around the great city. Can't wait!'
Here are a couple of smashing paintings from David. Lovely work!

Although the iPhone has iOS as its operating system and the programming resembles app development for Mac, the purpose and the design approach are considerably different. The iPhone touch screens are compact enough and the developers are able to create organized and focused user applications with a simple and easy UI.
Developers are increasingly creating applications which are useful and practical but the effort involves 100 hours of dedication and nearly 2,000 lines of code. Objective C or Cocoa is used for development purposes. If an iPhone application developer strikes on a good idea, free time to spend and a simple Mac computer, different innovative applications can be created for the iPhone. Developers get an excellent platform to start their career in iPhone website development.
Developers opt to distribute applications as freeware or even for purchase depending on their choice. With the purchases, more than 70 percent of the revenue is assigned to the developer while Apple receives the rest. The developers who are new to the field are required to download the SDK and also pay some fees for becoming an expert developer. There is much of outsourcing going on in the field and amateur developers have a bright career ahead in this regard.
Here are some of the tips to becoming a successful iPhone app developer. First and foremost, buy a Mac with an Intel-based processor and running at least the Leopard version of MacOS X. Good portable Macs are welcome too. The Macs must be easy to move round, and developers should be able to take them anywhere.
Downloading of the SDK is the next step. The kit includes the development environment Xcode, the iPhone Simulator which would be required for testing, performance analyzers, different user interface builders and a reference library.
If you are not aware of the development language Objective C, learn it. It is basically an extension to C and has object-oriented principles and other scripting elements to it so it would be easier for anyone with programming experience to adjust to it.
Objective C is said to be simple and manages to hide the complexities of hardware. Moreover it also deals with the major cause of programming issues which include memory leaks. If one is well versed with Objective C then the learning curve is a lot straighter and one needs to understand the APIs of the iPhone. Take cue from a beginner's book and start with the Dummies series. Learn the free tutorials online.
The official Apple SDK has lots of information with it and if one gets stuck, there is a forum to help developers out.
The next step is to finalize a concept and start implementing it. Start on the basic elements and then its textures. If you can't start out on an original project, is to start on sample projects and then reverse engineer them to see how the games have been actually constructed.
Finally, sign up as an official developer for a standard cost of $99. Once you're on the Developer Program one can pair up an iPhone device with the app you built on. Submit your app to Apple once you are done weeding out the errors and bugs. One can fix issues and resubmit the app again and again. It is also important to adapt according to the market situation and market the app to get noticed. Engage with development and gaming communities and spread the word through social sites and forums.

UN envoy in Morocco over Western Sahara
Patrick Beleka, WSahara Solidarity, 19 February 2009
The new UN envoy to the disputed Western Sahara, Christopher Ross, on Thursday held talks with Moroccan officials to obtain new negotiations over the territory over which Rabat claims sovereignty.
Ross was in a "listening position" while meeting Morocco's Foreign Minister Taieb Fassi Fihri and senior officials of the royal consultative council for Saharan affairs (CORCAS), an informed source told AFP.
The Polisario Front independence movement has disputed Morocco's claim to the territory since the north African kingdom annexed it after the withdrawal of Spanish settlers in the mid-1970s.
Ross arrived in Rabat on Wednesday after officials at UN headquarters in New York warned against great expectations of a first mission on which the new envoy was to sound out a chance of resuming negotiations.
On Tuesday, Moroccan Communications Minister Khalid Naciri said "Christopher Ross will find in Morocco the same openness of mind and the same good faith requested by the (UN) Security Council to move the negotiation process forward."
That process, he added, "must pick up from where his predecessor (Peter Van Walsum) left off."
Van Walsum, whose UN mandate was not renewed after it expired on August 21, was accused of favoring Morocco after stating that independence for Western Sahara was "an unrealistic option."
Ross's week-long tour will take him from Rabat to Tindouf in the southwest Algerian desert, for talks with Polisario chief Mohamed Abdelaziz, and then to Algiers, according to UN spokeswoman Michele Montas.
Montas said in a statement that Ross, a former US ambassador to Syria and Algeria, will leave Algiers on February 25 for Madrid and then Paris, capitals of two countries belonging to the Group of Friends of WesternSahara.
The group also includes Russia, Britain and the United States.
For more than three decades, Tindouf has been home to Sahrawi refugees from the Western Sahara, a phosphate-rich territory whose annexation by Morocco after the withdrawal of the colonial power sparked a war with the Polisario.
The two sides agreed a UN-brokered ceasefire in 1991 but a referendum on self-determination and talks in New York have long been stalled.
Ahmed Bujari, the Polisario's UN representative, said last week that his group reiterated to Ross, who took up his post last month, that "we are dealing with an issue of self-determination in the framework of UN Security Council resolutions.
"It's up to the people of Western Sahara to choose their future," he added.
The UN Security Council has called for talks "without preconditions and in good faith" between the parties to achieve "a just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution."
Rabat has offered a form of autonomy for the territory under Moroccan sovereignty while the Polisario wants a referendum on self-determination that would include the option of full independence.

Hi; this is Holly Sawyer, Publicist of the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge, Inc. Earlier this year, you contacted me regarding Martin Luther King Jr. day and if I.S.U.P.K was participating in the event.
Today, I am contacting you in regards to our support of the Kentucky Republican Senatorial nominee Rand Paul. I.S.U.P.K believes Rand Paul's opinion on the 1964 Civil Rights Act was correct.
Rand Paul said although he detest racism he believes that the free market should decide whether or not excluding groups from one's business is profitable or not. Because of the Civil Rights Act businesses who would have otherwise failed from the lack of support from the Black community and Whites who were not overtly racists, thrived and had profits forced down their throats. This at once spelled the demise for Black entrepreneurship and Black businesses and fattened the coffers of the very people that rejected Black patronage.
We would love to discuss more on this hot button political issue via interview for the City Paper.
Please give me a call at 202-553-7431.
I would like to share with you one article I wrote about Western Sahara's Situation: http://development.thinkaboutit.eu/think3/post/deserts_unspoken_words_western_saharas_conflict/

Click the image for a larger view.
Established after World War II, the Antenna Lab achieved breakthroughs in antenna bandwidth, enabling the spread of television as well as advances in radio astronomy, radar, and space communications. Most of the innovations were enabled by the then-radical idea, credited to Professor Vic Rumsey, that antennas defined by angles rather than lengths could be sized independently of their operating frequency.
By embodying Rumsey's angular concept in an array of discrete elements, Professor Raymond DuHamel (BSEE '47, MSEE '48, PhD'51) and student Dwight Isbell paved the way to "log-periodic" designs that became popular TV receivers. Today, mobile and wireless communications—with their limitless appetite for bandwidth and ever-present constraint of size—have opened up a whole new field of antenna work in which Rumsey's idea continues to play a central role.

With market volatility at pre-crisis lows, concerns are rising that complacency may herald a selloff, but some analysts believe fundamentals are driving the decline in risk.
"Quite a lot has recently happened in terms of geopolitical risks, oil prices etc. and yet volatility has not budged," Klaus Baader, chief economist for Asia Pacific at Societe Generale, told CNBC. "It's not just equity volatility. It's bond volatility; it's FX volatility. It's all massively low."
But Baader attributes the low volatility to fundamentals, rather than signs of market over exuberance.
"The amount of liquidity that central banks have been providing is taking risk duration out of the market," Baader said, adding that economic data have also shown low volatility, with volatility in U.S. non-farm payrolls data, for example, at the lowest since 1960.
Read MoreBeware bumpy markets when rates rise: BIS
The low volatility is also consistent with high profit margins and low leverage in the U.S. corporate sector, Societe Generale said in a note last week, adding that high margins imply low fixed costs and reduced earnings volatility.
Baader doesn't expect market volatility will pick up anytime soon.
"Right now, all the central banks are trying to give clear guidance and it's hard to see volatility turning around in a big way," he said.

Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson says he'll vote against confirming Elena Kagan as a Supreme Court justice.
The Nebraskan's announcement in a statement posted Friday evening makes him the first Democrat to say he'll break with his party to oppose President Barack Obama's nominee.
Nelson says he's heard concerns from his constituents about Kagan, the 50-year-old solicitor general and former Harvard Law School dean. And he says her lack of judicial record makes it impossible to know whether their worries are unfounded.
The Senate is expected to vote next week on Kagan's nomination, and Democrats have more than enough votes to confirm her. Five Republicans have said they'll also vote "yes."
