Gastrointestinal Pathology
Research Track Fellowship (3 Year Program: 1 year clinical and 2 year research)
The Gastrointestinal Fellowship (Research) at Yale is a three-year program combining one year of training in diagnostic gastrointestinal, hepatic and pancreatic pathology with two years of laboratory-based research. Strengths of the program include a dedicated gastrointestinal pathology service, the strong and diverse clinical gastroenterology and hepatology programs at Yale, extensive teaching materials within the department, and a superb research environment. The clinical activities of the Program in Gastrointestinal Pathology focus on the annual evaluation of approximately 15,000 gastrointestinal and pancreatobiliary cases and 1,000 liver cases (including liver transplantation). During the clinical year the fellow will play a major role in clinicopathologic conferences and will assist in the training of residents. During the two years of laboratory-based research the fellow will work with any of a wide array of established investigators in a basic or translational problem related to the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas or liver. Yale hosts many outstanding research programs that are germane to the aims of the GI Research Fellowship Program. These are based in a variety of departments that include Pathology, Digestive Diseases, the Yale Liver Center and the Yale Comprehensive Cancer Center; all are open to qualified trainees. This fellowship is intended to prepare academically oriented pathologists for an investigative career with competency in both laboratory-based research and diagnostic pathology of the GI and liver.
Three years of training in anatomic pathology or four years combined anatomic and clinical pathology with board eligibility. M.D., Ph.D. preferred, but M.D. with research experience will be considered.
Stipends commensurate with PGY-level and School Policy.
Applications including a recent CV and at least three letters of reference may be submitted to Dr. Dhanpat Jain, M.D., director of the program, at the address below.

Growth of Islam.
When Islam first emerged in Arabia during the mid-seventh century, there was little indication that within 150 years the movement would come to dominate the entire Middle East, as well as northern Africa and Spain. The early spread of Islam was directly linked to the revelations and work of the Prophet Muhammad who preached religious and moral reform throughout Arabia between 610 and 632 C.E. However, the origins of the movement were fraught with struggle. Acceptance of the faith in the polytheistic city of Mecca along with much of the rest of Arabia was gradually accomplished after a series of military campaigns, treaties, and non-violent pilgrimages undertaken by the newly formed Ummah (the gathered community of believers). The earliest Muslims were scorned in the major trade center of Mecca...

What a wonderful place to see...being a Fracophile and lover of fashion, this is so interesting. Quite the collection of Hermes boxes there. I admire the porcelain on the tray, these are modern Sevres reproductions of the 18th century Sevres pieces Marie Antoinette used at her faux dairy at Versailles(hey, she was the first "Dairy Queen").
I like the French factices too, and have a couple in my bottle collection. Isn't the big, dark Lanvin one the best?
Very interesting post, you always find great things to show us.colorful macacorons and big hermes packs??

We are proud and thrilled to announce our Exclusive Single Note Spice Collections, curated by Spice Master Lior Sercarz of La Boite a Epice. We've worked closely with Lior to select the best and most flavorful spices from around the world, and grouped them in three collections that give you, the home cook, a palette of flavors, textures, and unlimited possibilities to make memorable meals at home.
Our Mediterranean Pepper Collection spans Spain to the Middle East to add exuberant authentic flavors and color to your cooking.
Around the Mediterranean great cooks have always known that having a palette of peppers at hand creates layers of flavor to enhance and elevate recipes. Here are three that are essential to the Mediterranean cooking experience. This collection includes one 2 ounce jar of each:
Spanish Sweet Smoked Pimenton
This sweet and smoked Pimenton de la Vera is Spain's secret weapon in the kitchen, adding complexity and exuberance to many dishes. Use in Paella and other rice dishes, grilled seafood and pasta. Pimenton even adds a kick to my grandmother's Devilled Eggs all Nonna Flora.
Turkish Urfa Pepper
Across the expanse of the eastern Mediterranean, Urfa pepper is prized for its mild heat and smoky notes, to enhance fish, seafood, meat and desserts.
Turkish Aleppo Pepper
In the Middle East, this slightly spicy pepper with sweet and acidic notes adds a bit of a kick to dishes featuring poultry, vegetables, salads and cheese.

Viday often gets interesting scripts from southern filmmakers but has not been able to do them due to lack of planning on the filmmakers' part. The actress, however, is hopeful that in future she will work in the vernacular languages. The 36-year old, who carved a niche for herself in Hindi filmdom with her performances in 'Parineeta', 'Paa', 'Ishqiya' and 'Kahaani', is keen to expand her horizon as an actress. "I keep getting offers form Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Bengali filmmakers. I have been excited by scripts in Marathi, Bengali and Malayalam, but they don't plan well in advance so the dates didn't match," Vidya Balan said. "Tamil and Telugu filmmakers have not yet offered me exciting roles, honestly which is why I am looking forward to do Malayalam and Bengali films. I always look forward to an exciting film," she added. "It's fantastic if a good film works as you feel good. It's not about every women centric film working; a good film will always work. It's not that easy for women centric films to get good opening, but if it works it's a huge thing. I always say that good films will definitely work. 'Queen', 'Kahaani' all of them have set examples," she said. Courtesy: JPN/Mid-Day Latest News from Entertainment News Desk
"Some scripts I have really liked but because of time I have not been able to do them, but hopefully, sometime in future I will do an interesting film in any one of the languages.
Seen as a detective in her recent film 'Bobby Jasoos', the actress is happy that women centric films are doing well at the box office.

Just 19 months ago it wouldn't have seemed farfetched to include Tim Thomas in the pantheon of all-time great Boston athletes, if not quite equal, then pretty darned close to Williams, Russell, Orr and Brady.
Yesterday, that seemed long ago.
Thomas' controversial tenure as a Bruin ended with the AWOL goaltender's trade to the New York Islanders for a conditional draft pick, conditional on whether the 38-year-old actually returns from his self-imposed exile and plays for the Isles.
The Bruins will get a second-round pick in 2014 or 2015, if Thomas plays for the Islanders. Thomas indicated he wants to come back not this season, but next year. It seems doubtful that a guy who'll turn 39 in April can play NHL hockey after a year off.
But B's general manager Peter Chiarelli noted, "If anyone can do it, it can be him, regardless of his conditioning. Look at his story. He's done some pretty special stuff at a later age. (But) at the age of 38, 39, I think it would be tough physically and mentally to take a year off and come back."
Thomas had a year remaining on his contract but walked out on the team in order, he said, to spend more time with his family at their home in Colorado. Though suspended, the Bruins were stuck with Thomas' $5 million salary cap hit. After months of discussions, the club moved Thomas because the Islanders needed that $5 million hit to get up to the salary cap minimum of some $54 million.
In clearing that $5 million from their payroll, Chiarelli said the B's now have the flexibility to acquire talent should useful players become available soon or closer to the April 3 deadline. Some $8.5 million is now available.

Became one of the top babyface matinee-idol-type stars in the country, particularly St. Louis, by the early '60s. Notable feuds with Rogers and JV. Seemed to disappear from the business in the mid-'60s and I have *heard* that the reason is he was in a fan riot and ran for the dressing room and locked the door leaving Sonny Myers outside and Sonny got stabbed pretty bad and nobody would work with JP after that, but I can't swear to it. Reportedly became an evangelist at some point thereafter. Died a couple-three years ago.

I don't play Alliance that much, and RARELY am in Darnassus, so it's pretty cool to see all those shoes, armor stands, tapestries, weapons etc. that the artists have placed around.

SWFF in New Zealand - North Island
Going to the North Island for a couple of weeks in Dec/Jan. rented a campervan and doing a 14day drive all ver the north island. planning on taking my 8# salt water rod, reel and basic tackle.. can anyone please give me some advice on fishing licenses required, places to go, what fish i can expect to catc, general swfly fishing in NZ, good links to sites and anything i might find helpfull. thanks in advance. anton |
Hi! I spent a few weeks there this spring, the majority of the time spent FWFFing. I did do some looking into the salt and couldn't find tons of info. The guys at sexyloops (google it) were very helpful though. The North Island (especially around Auckland and the Bay of Islands) looks pretty promising though. I'd say that a good basic setup, some clousers, decievers and bonefish type patterns (imitating any crabs shrimp etc) would be a good bet. Let me be the first to tell you that the 8wt weight is by no means overmatched for their trout either...
Well, I'm on the Downeaster Alexa, and I'm cruisin' through Block Island Sound. I have chartered a course for the Vineyard, but tonight I am Nantucket bound. -Billy Joel "Downeaster Alexa" |
It's been many years from the last time I was there. Most of my salt water fly fishing was on the South Island for sea run brown trout. Boy were they big ones too. I think it will be the same on the North Island for those sea runs in that if you find any river mouth and swing or strip streamers through the tide area you will find trout. I remember on one river, the Heafy I beleive casting out into the river current and letting fly swing out into small breaking surf where ocean met the river mouth. A couple of strips would produce fish on and they were Brown trout between 5 pounds and maybe 12 pounds, many broke me off as they were hot fish. Seeing Browns are mostly on the North Island I think you would be wise to explore some of the river mouths up there. Though I never fished for tuna while there I did see a lot of what I think were false tuna in large schools and very close to shore. I would look into that possibility also as I have watched these tuna feeding as far south as Picton on the North end of the South Island. Hope you have a great time and meet a lot of great NZ folks while fishing.
NZ Holiday
Hi Ants,
I hope you have a great time in NZ. You will only need two fishing licences. There is one fishing licence required for the whole country (except the Taupo region) from New Zealand Fish and Game. You can get one from their website www.fishandgame.co.nz. This will give you access to all of fresh water fishery (except Taupo & Rotorua). The other fishing licence required is only for the Central North Island (Taupo & Rotorua, the Tongariro River, Waitahanui Riiver and Tauranga-Taupo River. The fishing licence for this area are governed by the Department of Conservation. Their website is www.doc.govt.nz. I am only familar with fresh water fishing, sorry I have not done much salt-water fishing. The best trout fishing (in my opinion) is in Taupo. A nice eight weight will do here nicely. I use a floating line (nymphing or dries), and a slow sinker (boobies, smelt flies, and woolly buggers) for river mouths. There are both large brown and rainbow trout in large numbers. In Feb the trout may still be feeding on smelt, so a nicely tied smelt fly could be the go. A 7 weight (again, in my opinion) is ideal for the majority of the larger rivers that you may come across. There are a numner of beautiful river in Hawke's Bay or Palmerston North that could be worth a try. Give me a yell if you need any further info, and good luck. Regards, Ian |
OOps Ants,
I just re-read your post. SWflyfishing. Sorry about the Fresh Water rant. Anyway, you do not need a licence to fish in the sea! There are bag limits however, the limits are on the following government website, (www.fish.govt.nz/recreational) Cheers |
Oh to be back there today...

The Swedish government is set to test out a new workday paradigm that may leave hyper-engaged entrepreneurs who work around the clock -- and still manage not to accomplish everything -- scratching their heads.
For one year, a group of municipal workers in Gothenburg, the country's second-largest city, will have their workdays reduced to a mere six hours -- all while still earning full-time wages. Brought forth by the city council's majority coalition of Social Democrat and Green parties, an executive committee will rule on the proposal today.
The economic experiment aims to stack up the performance of one group of employees who work 30-hour weeks against another group with standard hours -- both of whom will receive the same pay.

The thinking is that employees become too tired to be productive after six hours, said deputy mayor Mats Pilhem, and that staffers who work less may take fewer sick days.
While these types of experiments have taken place in other countries, noted The Independent, typically they've been nixed as a result of the stigmas surrounding laziness. A Moderate Party within the Gothenburg council even stated its opposition to the "dishonest and populist ploy."
One department currently being eyed to test out the initiative is within the realm of elderly care. And Pilhem pointed to encouraging results at Swedish car factory in the city that had also slashed its hours as proof that the practice might stir productivity and create jobs.

He was a young geographer-geologist and a fighter for Polish freedom in the unsuccessful 1863 uprising against the Tsar." This is not true: Lithuanian patriot Jonas Čerskis ("Jan Czerski") - the fighter for freedom of Lithuania (his Homeland) was from the same family, as Kazimieras Čerskis - father of the author.

Belorussia (Cherven Massacre):
From the APPEAL of the Representatives of the Baltic 'Nations to the General Assembly of the United Nations: "About 2,000 Lithuanians from various prisons in Lithuania, mostly from Vilnius, were driven before the retreating Red Army into the interior of Russia. In Minsk these prisoners were joined by about 4,000 Poles and White-Russians from Polish and White-Russian prisons. On the way from Minsk to Mohilev in July 1941, in the woods of Chervene, the prisoners were mowed down with machine-guns by the escorting Soviet guards. Among the murdered were: the Deputy Prime Minister of Lithuania K. Bizauskas, and the Ministers of State S. Rusteika, J. Caplikas, and B. Giedraitis. However, a few eye-witnesses of the mass murder at Chervene remained alive under the piles of corpses. These, if need be, can make their statements under oath. The incident has been described in documented books, written by eye-witnesses of the murder: "Lithuania Under the Sickle and Hammer" (Cleveland, Ohio) by Colonel J. Petruitis, and "Mirties Kolona" (March of Death), Chicago, 111., by Antanas Tolis."
ELTA No. 260 (1970), Saturday Issue, 20 June 1998 "LITHUANIANS TO PAY HOMAGE TO VICTIMS OF BOLSHEVIKS Vilnius, June 19 (ELTA) - A commemoration is to be held on Saturday near the Belarussian Chervene township, which had been a site of innocent people's massacre in 1941 June. The organisers of Chervene commemoration were Lithuanian population's genocide and resistance investigation centre, and Vilnius municipality. Vice-director of above-said centre Petras Girdzijauskas told ELTA the former political prisoners, deportees, relatives of those killed, and patriots would travel by buses on June 20 to Chervene to pay homage to the victims, as they did annually since restoration of Lithuanian independence. The available facts show that, with breaking out of World War II, a few thousand prisoners of Minsk jail were driven farther from the city and shot dead. Among them there were some 300 persons taken here from Lithuania's Kaunas prison -- these were mainly Lithuanian officers, scientists, and other intellectuals. Some of them managed to escape to tell the world about the crime executed by Bolsheviks. A survivor, Colonel Jonas Petruitis described the experienced horror in his book "How they shot us dead" which was soon translated into several foreign languages. Several monuments have been erected in the massacre site, sixty kilometres away from Minsk." http://elta.elta.lt/txt98/80620new.txt

Tune Multicore Hardware for Software
by Xilinx, Inc. | Teja Technologies
Technical Paper
The best way to build a processing fabric depends on the software being run. By using an FPGA to host the processing, you can defer making specific decisions on the exact implementation until you know more about the needs of the code. The new Teja FP platform provides a methodology and multicore infrastructure on Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGAs, allowing you to decide on the exact configuration of the multicore fabric after the code has been written.

4Graphene Could Tap the Seven Seas for Drinking Water
July 6th, 2012 by Tina Casey
A team of researchers at MIT has developed a way to use atom-thin sheets of graphene for water filtration, which could lead to an inexpensive and energy-efficient way to desalinate seawater. Though we can't exactly drink our way our way out of the effects of rising sea levels, drawing more potable water from the ocean would provide a critical boost to the world's water resources at a time of rising heat, drought, and human demand.
Energy Efficient Desalination
Currently, the desalination method of choice is a process called reverse osmosis. The drawback is that it requires a significant level of water pressure, which in turn requires a copious amount of energy.
One solution has been to improve the efficiency of conventional reverse osmosis. The U.S. Navy, for example, has developed a prototype for a high-efficiency desalinating system that uses about 65 percent less energy.
An entirely different approach is illustrated by the University of Colorado, where researchers are working on a microbial fuel cell that can run on seawater or wastewater. Aside from generating electricity, the new fuel cell would desalinate and purify water, and also produce hydrogen gas.
A Graphene Solution for Desalination
Like the microbial fuel cell, the MIT research represents a significant break from reverse osmosis technology.
As described by MIT writer David L. Chandler, the team fabricated a sheet of graphene containing a precise series of holes, just one nanometer across. With the addition of other materials, the edges of the holes interact on a molecular level with water to either repel or attract.
Since the graphene process is based on a chemical interaction, it requires very little water pressure compared to reverse osmosis (as Chandler notes, reverse osmosis requires a membrane that is 1,000 times thicker than graphene).
In terms of energy use, a graphene-based system could generate desalinated water at a far greater rate using the same amount of energy, or it could simply be run at lower pressure.
That flexibility could provide graphene desalination systems with a greater range of applications, using small-scale solar power and other forms of renewable energy rather than having to rely on a relatively large supply of fossil fuels.
There are quite a few steps left to go between the MIT research and real-world application, though. So far the system has checked out on computer modeling. The next step would involve additional an analysis of its economic feasibility.
One Graphene to Rule Them All
If graphene seems to be popping up everywhere, that's because, well, it is. Since its discovery in 2004, graphene has generated thousands of research papers for applications in various types of filtration (Chandler mentions DNA and gas separators, in addition to water), solar power, and next-generation electronics along with many others.
The study of this unique material has also given rise to new ways of tweaking conventional materials to achieve similar results, such as the "plastic graphene" developed at the Polytechnic University of Valencia in Spain.
Graphene is an ultra-thin, ultra-strong sheet of carbon atoms that has superior properties as a semiconductor, though it is notoriously difficult to work with, let alone fabricate on a commercial scale.

Pennzoil 200 Quotebook
LOUDON, N.H. (May 31, 1997) The following are selected quotes from the Pennzoil/VIP Discount Auto 200 at New Hampshire International Speedway.
JAY SAUTER No. 3 GM Goodwrench Service Chevrolet
"The Chevrolet truck was awesome today! This Goodwrench team kept faith. We had a great set-up yesterday, we just didn't show it in qualifying. Our game plan was to save our tires for the last 25 laps of each segment and that strategy proved beneficial (to his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory). It's been real tough getting started this season but these guys really stuck behind me and had confidence in me and that kept my confidence up. This team just works so hard and so well together that I can't thank them enough."
JACK SPRAGUE No. 24 Quaker State Chevrolet
"The Quaker State Chevy was good right up to the end when I really needed it. It got terrible tight and I was driving it like a sprint car. I'd go into a corner and just pitch it in with the brakes. I just couldn't keep it up. It wasn't mechanical -- it was just terrible tight. I couldn't turn it in a 40-acre field!"
RICK CARELLI No. 6 RE/MAXX Chevrolet
"It was a good race and I had fun out there. We had a real good truck today and if I could've gotten by Jack (Sprague) I might have had something for them up there. They tell me we were running a little faster than the rest of them. At this place, you've got to be on the bottom to pass. The outside lane just doesn't exist."
BORIS SAID III No. 44 Federated Auto Parts Ford
"My next goal after finishing on the lead lap was a top-10, and to finish in the top-5 today was like a win, especially fourth is even better. I've got to thank the crew, Robert Yates for the engine, especially (owners) Mark (Simo) and Ernie (Irvan). They give me a lot of support and a lot of tips. I mean today I feel like I won.
YOU HAVE TALKED ABOUT ERNIE GIVING YOU TIPS. "Yeah, we're like best friends. We talk almost every day. Even though sometimes he isn't directly telling me what I should be doing, I still pick up things just from hanging around him. He forgotten more than I know about going left. It is the best place a rookie could be, just being around him." "Fourth place feels like a win for me today. We had the best truck out there today and we probably could have finished in the top three. This track is all about track position and pitting at the right time. We pitted for fuel a little too late in the second half and we lost a few positions. Other than that we ran a flawless race. Jay (Smith) gave me a truck that I could drive anywhere on the track. When we came in for the halftime break, we didn't have to change one thing to the set-up." I have to thank the crew and Ernie Irvan for getting me into the top five today. I have always said that Irvan-Simo Racing is a top five team with a top twenty driver. I was on the phone with Ernie last night and he gave me a lot of good advice. Without the help of Ernie my learning curve would be steeper. It feels good to finally prove to myself and the crew that we are capable of running and finishing in the top ten."
KENNY IRWIN JR. No. 98 Raybestos/Ford Credit Ford
"It was a good day. We ran in the top-5. Those Chevrolets just got a lot of fuel mileage, and that's something we weren't counting on. But we'll be ready to go to Texas."
RICK CRAWFORD No. 14 Circle Bar Motel & RV Park Ford
"I told the crew on the way in on the cool down lap, it's amazing what you can do when you've got a truck under you. There was just a little foul up in the pits on the gas stop caused us to come back in twice. It was nobody's fault. The truck was a good truck today. We came all the way from the back twice. Now we can get ready for Texas. We're going home."
BRYAN REFFNER No. 66 Carlin Burners & Controls Ford
"It was up and down. We had a decent truck. For once we were close. That's where we've needed to be at all these races. It gives us something to work off of. I feel the motor was maybe down a little, because I couldn't run with some of the guys. But all in all it was a good day for us. The way the season has gone, we'll take a top ten. To run up where we did is good. That's what this team needed for a boost. Now we can go on to Texas, and maybe get another top ten. All in all, I'm happy."
JOE RUTTMAN No. 80 LCI Worldwide Telecommunications Ford
"I think the truck on the outside of the guy I was passing cut into him and just forced him into me, and that's what happened. It just happened. I was inside of them. They should have given me the room."
BOB KESELOWSKI No. 29 Mopar Performance Parts Dodge
"We ran a whole lot better than we practiced, but later on the tire pressures got uneven and the handling just went away. This series gets more and more competitive all the time - you look down the list and they're all good trucks - it's tough!"
BUTCH MILLER No. 20 Orleans Hotel & Casino Chevrolet
"I ran the brakes off the fourth place truck (his own). We had zero brake pedal there at the end -- it just went to the floor -- so we ended up in 14th. I was pretty lucky coming through traffic -- I started 29th and they had some crash and bangers in front of us. I was lucky several times there was a hole to get through the crashes."
STACY COMPTON No. 86 Valvoline Ford
" A couple trucks got together up front. We got on the brakes. It's just racing. We got on the brakes, somebody got into the back of us. We got turned around. I don't know who hit us in the side, but they straightened us back up. My hats off to the Impact Motor Sports crew, all of them. What can you say. They got the truck back. We didn't loose a lap until right there at the end. I mean these guys did such a good job. Ford has a good program. We had a good truck today. We ran good in practice. We just had a little mishap early. We've got our feet on the ground now, and we're starting to run. I feel like before long you are going to see us up front."
MIKE BLISS No. 2 Team ASE Ford
"I think Dokken got loose. That got Bickle into Dokken, and that left me no track. I got into him. I couldn't do anything. It screwed the whole day up. We had a lot better truck than what I showed there. I wanted to save the tires in case we had a yellow so I could get my lap back. I wanted to have tires left so I could get my lap back. We had a good Ford there all in all. It was all beat to death, but it was good."
RICH BICKLE No. 17 Sears DieHard Chevrolet
"We pushed like a dump truck. The changes we made at halftime didn't help today, but we learned a lot about setting up the DieHard Chevy that will help us at other mile tracks."
JIMMY HENSLEY No. 43 Cummins/Touch One Dodge
"We blistered a tire 30 laps in, and once that happened we were history anyway. We got a couple laps down. We're not sure what the problem was."
MICHAEL DOKKEN No. 18 Dana Dodge
"I thought I gave Bickle enough room, but maybe not. It's just one of those things - we got together. This weekend's been tough. The truck was handling real well - I felt like we could've been in the top five, and definitely in the top 10."
TONY RAINES No. 19 Pennzoil Dodge
"Sprague crowded me in on the apron. I bumped him, and then he got loose. He waved his fist at me as he went by. What better rivals on the track -- Pennzoil versus Quaker State! On lap 49 a seal in the transmission popped off. We changed the transmission and got back in, but we decided to pull the truck and save the motor."
BRANDON BUTLER No. 56 Husky Power Tools Dodge
"I felt like changing the tires was the right thing to do, to change tires, rather than jeopardizing myself and somebody else. Later in the race, when the accident happened, the 86 got into the 52, and I was right behind the 86. There was nowhere to go."
ERIC NORRIS No. 02 Wolverine Vinyl Siding Ford
"We blew a motor. That's what finished us for the day. Ruttman and I tangled, and there was a car up beside me, and I didn't have anywhere to go. I hit him. Then the truck was tight the whole rest of the time. It wasn't the day I wanted to have. Our Wolverine Ford was running so good, and I sure expected a lot better than this today. I think it (my next race) will be Milwaukee."
ROB RIZZO No. 27 RGR Racing Ford
"My spotter told me Joe Ruttman got into the back of Eric Norris, and he got into the side of me. I guess Joe went to go high, and then he got into me. It's too bad it had to happen. I don't know why they were trying to dog down into one the way they were. But you know, what are you going to do. We came in and tried to fix the truck, but it was all over the track, and rather than put it in the wall I figured we'd just park it."

On Matt Garza's Last Three Starts
The Cubs didn't have hearty expectations entering the year, but coming on the heels of some nice acquisitions, it wasn't inconceivable that they would hang around and make some noise in the pennant race. And in a just world, perhaps they would have. They have played better than their record all season, and in fact still carry just a -12 run differential into this weekend's action. But contention seems far off at this point. The Pirates and Cardinals are tearing it up, and the Reds are drafting off them as they wait to make their move as well. With only one game separating them and the Brewers in last place, you can bet on the Cubs being sellers at the deadline. One of their chief assets will be Matt Garza, who has been fairly fantastic in his last three starts.
Garza, as you may recall, started the season on the shelf, which is actually where he ended last season, thanks to a stress reaction in his pitching elbow. He spent the last two and a half months of the 2012 season planted on ice. And as you scroll back through his Rotoworld player news feed from this past winter, there is definitely a "boy cries wolf" feel to it.
On December 28, Garza guaranteed that he'd be ready for opening day. Then the problems started. On February 17, he was removed from his first live batting practice session after holding onto his left side. The next day the story was that it was a mild lat strain, but Garza didn't think it would be "a big thing." A few days later, Garza was still confident that he'd be ready for opening day. That confidence lasted just six days, when he reported that he might start the season on the disabled list. Then he had a flare up a few days later, and it was decided he would definitely land on the DL for the season's start. He wouldn't throw off a mound again until April. Then after being rained out of a rehab start, he was scratched from the next, with the proverbial "dead arm." He would finally make his first rehab start of the season, or start of any kind really, on May 1. He sparkled in his four minor league starts, allowing just two runs over 15.1 innings, but the main takeaway here is how long it took him to get back on the mound.
Now, if this was the only episode of Garza landing on the disabled list, it would hardly be worthy of mention. After all, players have their rehabs pushed back all the time, and the job of both player and team is not necessarily to tell the media the truth, but rather paint a sunny picture of the situation for the team's sunnyside up fans. But when you combine the problems this year with an elbow injury last year that he merely rehabbed and didn't have it surgically repaired, and you wonder if Garza is a ticking time bomb. As we've seen time and time again, once your elbow starts hurting, you generally end up needing surgery. Obviously the lat injury is not an elbow injury, but it does underscore the fact that after years of good health — Garza made at least 30 starts and was 26th in the game in games started — perhaps his days outside of an operating room are numbered.
Of course, since Garza is a free agent at the end of the season, any team looking to acquire him is only looking for a short-term solution. And he just may be a great short-term solution. He's essentially been the guy he has been for his whole career — his 3.83 ERA and 3.88 FIP this season are near mirror images of his career 3.84 ERA and 3.99 FIP. His strikeout and walk rate are also essentially the same that they have been since he arrived in the National League. He hasn't generated as many grounders in 2013 as he has the past couple of years, and his velocity is down as well, but neither problem is quite a red flag just yet, especially since he's only made eight starts so far. In fact, his resume would look even better if you excised the one stinker of a start — nine runs allowed in five-plus innings against the Reds on June 11. He even began that start well, as the Cubs trailed 3-1 entering the Reds' half of the sixth. It all unraveled after that, as Garza coughed up a two-run double to Jay Bruce and a three-run homer to Xavier Paul. He was permitted to face one more batter — Ryan Hanigan, whom he walked — and left the game having faced six hitters in the sixth without recording an out.
Since then, he's been fantastic, and teams are starting to salivate. The Blue Jays, Dodgers, Giants, Nationals, Orioles, Padres, Phillies, Rangers, Red Sox and Rockies have all been mentioned as either teams who have interest or have scouted him recently. That's one-third of the teams in the league, and while we don't know the level of interest that all of those teams have, we can safely assume that Garza's last three starts have created a bevy of interest. Before we fall head over heels in love with him again though, let's take a closer look at those three starts.
In them, Garza has tossed 22 innings of two-run ball. He has struck out 23 batters to just five walks, and he has allowed just 15 hits. In other words, less than a baserunner per inning pitched. Which is great, obviously. He hasn't needed any more than 107 pitches in any of the three outings, just another example of how efficient he has been. But what really stands out is the poor opponents that he has faced. In taking on the Astros, Mets and Brewers, Garza faced the teams ranked 26th, 24th and 15th respectively (and yes, that is using the NP filter). And the Brewers team he faced wasn't representative of that 15th-place ranking either, as neither Ryan Braun nor Carlos Gomez played. Garza still had a responsibility to go out and cut down the competition no matter who they are, and cut them down he has in these past three starts, but it wasn't exactly the cream of the crop.
Given his past performance, Garza was going to be at the top of team's wish lists once he proved he was healthy, and since returning to the rotation in late May he hasn't skipped a turn, so mission accomplished on that front. That he has pitched extraordinarily well in his last three turns may only increase the demand, and that could potentially be great news for the Cubs. However, given his injury troubles over the past year and the fact that those last three starts have been against similarly weak sisters, it's important to keep things in perspective. Garza will be able to step in to the middle or back of a number of contenders' rotations and help push them towards the postseason, but it's doubtful that he's suddenly turned into Greg Maddux.

Seduction through Words
People say that actions are louder than words. However, the art of persuasion are mostly about the usage of language; how words affect actions that follows it. What Machiavelli suggested is what every politician today does; use words in whichever manner to get to one's goal, but do not fall for flattery. Politicians and people alike have been able to talk their way into peace, treaties, and other negotiations. On current terms, it's a diplomatic advice. How George Bush got the United States to support his idea for war was through his speech to the Americans. He certainly did not pay the American citizens for their support, unless one counts the tax cut. There are situations in life where money serves no purpose. One can buy temporary support that is extremely superficial, but for support that reaches their emotions and their hearts, one has to reason and convince...

A bizarre situation at an Oldham County home when a robber targets a home, with an FBI agent inside.
Police say Sherman Ellis of Louisville broke into a home on Goshen Drive.
The homeowner, Wes Johnson, later found him hiding in a storage closet.
Investigators say Ellis stole the garage opener to Johnson's house after cutting a hole in the top of a convertible.
Johnson said Ellis picked the wrong house, guests at the home for FBI agents.
The retired agents held him at gunpoint, until authorities arrived.
Ellis is behind bars on a 10-thousand dollar bond and faces nearly a dozen charges.
He is also a registered sex offender.

Mercedes performed strongly throughout the session and Hamilton pipped team-mate Nico Rosberg to secure pole position in the final seconds of the third qualifying session.
Hamilton was overjoyed by the support from the crowd, standing atop his Mercedes and drinking in the rapturous applause and cheers from his fans.
It is Hamilton's first pole since China and he becomes the first Brit to make the front of the grid at Silverstone in six years.
"It's an incredible feeling – it feels like 2007," said Hamilton. "The crowd have been great – such a great turnout – that was a lap for them.
"I hope we can do something special in the race. It's phenomenal because I haven't been feeling 100 per cent comfortable in the car."
Rosberg will join Hamilton on the front row of the grid and put their success down to having the fastest car.
But he remained cautious about race day.
"We are confident we have improved and some of the other cars may be better than us but finishing in the top two can only be good," said Rosberg.
Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel, who qualified in third, congratulated Hamilton for a "phenomenal lap" but remains hopeful for tomorrow's race.
"We will see what happens," said the German. "It is a long race. I'm honestly very happy today.
"I don't know if Lewis found a short cut or he just found something special here – it was a phenomenal lap.
"It is always nice to position well in qualifying here. I am looking forward to the race and we will see how are with looking after the tyres."
The race looks set to be a battle between the Red Bulls and Mercedes as Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso face a tough challenge after struggling for pace all weekend.
Alonso, who qualified 10th, was clearly disappointed by his Ferrari's performance, having admitted prior to qualifying that he needed to catch up championship leader Vettel.
"We were not competitive all weekend and it's not normal to see Ferrari out of Q3," said Alonso.
"We need to recover now and it was a bad Saturday. We didn't improve the car enough in the last four to five races and we ordered some new parts but they didn't do what we expected. We need to keep on working."
