By the first century Roman men had 3 names, praenomen, nomen, and cognomen (e.g., Quintus Darius Macro). Therefore, choosing a Roman name is a fairly simple matter of "One from Column A, one from Column B, and one from Column C."
The praenomen was the personal name, and there were very few to choose from: Caius or Gaius (the most common), Cnaeus or Gnaeus, Titus, Tiberius, Quintus, Aulus, Decimus, Lucius, Marcus, Postumus, Publius, Quadratus, Sextus, Servius, Spurius, and maybe Primus and Tertius. That's about it. Nova Roma also lists Flavius and Cassius, but those are nomina and were certainly not praenomina until the 3rd or 4th century.
The nomen is the name of the family or gens, and almost always ends in -ius. Julius, Flavius, Claudius, Didius, etc. Using a well-known nomen like Julius is fine because there were non-noble branches of famous families, and freed slaves took the names of their former owners. (See list below.)
The cognomen can indicate the branch of the family, or be another given name, or be a nickname like Celer or Felix, or the town or tribal name of a provincial. The cognomen was not universal until about the first century BC, hence Gaius Marius. (See list below.)
Gaius Julius Caesar was the son of Gaius Julius Caesar, but his uncle was Sextus Julius Caesar. Upon his death he adopted Gaius Octavius Thurinus, who took the name Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus. The emperor Vespasian was Titus Flavius Vespasianus and his brother was Titus Flavius Sabinus; his sons now known as Titus and Domitian were Titus Flavius Vespasianus and Titus Flavius Domitianus (named after his mother Domitia). One of them was ruling when a young Thracian named Bassa joined a Roman auxiliary unit and took the name Titus Flavius Bassus.
Girls were simply given their father's
nomen, feminized, and sometimes a cognomen or a nickname such as a diminutive
of her father's nomen or cognomen. Therefore, all of Julius Caesar's
daughters and sisters were named Julia, though may have been called Julilla,
etc. Apparently some girls were simply numbered: Prima, Secunda,
Tertia, etc. (My wife is Hortensia Tertia because she likes gardening and
has 2 older sisters.) Women did not change their names when they
married. The Nova Roma list of women's names includes a number of
feminized men's nomina.
Just how formally the rules were
followed in the lower classes is hard to say, but there are very few names
known from inscriptions, etc., that don't make logical sense. Actually,
in the most formal usage, as on tombstones, a man's name had 6 parts: praenomen,
nomen, filiation ("son of..."), cognomen, origo (place born), and voting
tribe. Not that that would help greatly--it could still all be identical
to your father's name!

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported the maximum sentence the defendants are facing for the specific charge they were indicted on.
Three of the four Inland men who FBI agents said planned to join the Taliban and al-Qaida and carry out attacks on U.S. troops in Afghanistan were indicted Wednesday, Nov. 28, on a charge of conspiring to support terrorists for the purpose of murdering, kidnapping or maiming Americans overseas.
Arifeen David Gojali, 21, of Riverside, Ralph Deleon, 21, of Ontario, and Miguel Santana, 21, of Upland, were all named in the indictment. They will appear in Riverside Federal Court for arraignment on the new charges Dec. 5, said California Central District U.S. Attorney spokesman Thom Mrozek.
The indictment alleges the conspiracy ran from August 2010 up to Nov. 16 in San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties. The trio is accused of working toward âkilling and attempting to kill officers and employees of the United States and of any agency or branch of the United States (including members of the uniformed services).â
The conspiracy charge they face carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in federal prison, according to federal statutes.
The indictment alleges the defendants conspired to use a weapon of mass destruction outside the United States.
It also appears to contain a domestic terrorism element as well, alleging they conspired to use an explosive device âinto or against a place of public use, a state or government facility, a public transportation system, and an infrastructure facility, with the intent to cause death.â
Agents had said the men planned to attack targets in the United States, if they ever returned from Afghanistan.
Sohiel Kabir, 34, of Pomona, who is an Afghan citizen, is being held by U.S. officials in Afghanistan and is the fourth man arrested in the case on the original federal complaint filed earlier this month. He is not named in the current indictment.
Mrozek said Kabir will remain in custody under the complaint charges while he is out of country.
The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips in Riverside, Mrozek said.
FBI agents intercepted the alleged plot over the past year, while monitoring the group's activity and embedding a confidential informant among their group.
The three were taken into custody as they were caught leaving a Chino apartment en route to Mexico City, where they planned to fly to Istanbul and meet Kabir in Afghanistan, according to court records.
Gojali joined the plot in September, according to court records, when he was recruited during a trip to a paintball range to test their shooting skills. Federal documents say he was raising money, obtained a passport and moved out of his girlfriend's home in order to âFill his heart with faithâ of Allah.
Court documents show Gojali told an FBI confidential informant that he was angry after watching military videos and tax dollars going toward soldiers to fight his âbrothers and sistersâ in Afghanistan.

We all know very well what aspirin is. Known also as Acidum acetylsalicylicum, or acetylsalicylic acid, aspirin is one of the best researched chemical substance which is produced and commonly used as a pharmaceutical drug.

Just got back to the UK with Nayra and headed straight to Wales for the upcoming BWA comp. Forecast looks good for some wind at some point. Maybe tomorrow, but if not Sunday looks like it could howl in the afternoon. Fingers crossed it gets good. You can keep track of what is going on on the BWA website or probably Boardseeker will be covering it pretty closely too.

Good luck in Wales!

Legal Working Group
Introduction to the Legal Working Group
Confusion about legal issues is one of the biggest issues facing both cloud providers and cloud customers. Laws regarding government access to data vary in respective countries. Laws governing privacy protections for citizens and cross-border export of data also differ according to jurisdiction. There is also a great deal of hype and misinformation around specific laws, such as the Patriot Act in the United States.
The CSA Legal Working Group is an expert-led community resource for global legal issues impacting cloud computing. Our mission is to provide unbiased information about the applicability of existing laws and also identify laws that are being impacted by technology trends and may require modification.
Ask a Legal Expert
Have a question about a thorny legal issue related to cloud? Just ask! The CSA Legal Working Group is staffed by legal experts ready to help you. We will endeavor to answer as many questions as we can, please send your question to email@example.com. Please be aware that the experts will provide general answers based upon the questions received, and may be missing important context. We are not providing legal advice in any matter, please remember to consult your own attorneys. ;)
Q. What is a good strategy for moving my data into the Cloud?
A: My first reaction is to ask you whether you have conducted proper due diligence to evaluate your data, and determine those that can / cannot be moved to the cloud. Cloud is not appropriate for any type of the data unless some specific measures are taken. Some data are more valuable or more sensitive than others. They may require more protection, or you may not be allowed to move them to the cloud because of legal or other types of restrictions. For example, your company may be bound by a contract – such as a non-disclosure agreement or a services agreement – that prohibits your company from doing certain things, or that requires the customer's prior approval before doing certain things. You or your customer may be subject to stringent rules. For example, the Rules of Ethics that apply to lawyers require lawyers to ensure the confidentiality and availability of files that they hold on behalf of their clients or that pertain to the client's case. These and other rules regarding competence and accountability may prevent lawyers from using cloud for certain purposes. Thus, the strategy should start first by evaluating your data, your operations and your needs, and determine the restrictions that are attached to each category of data, i.e. the contracts, rules, laws, regulations as well as the technical and operational requirements regarding these data. As a rule of thumb, it is generally more prudent to start with less sensitive data, and data that are not regulated.
Q. What is happening with the European Union with the new Data Protection Regulation?
A: The European Union is considering a significant overhaul of its laws regarding the protection of personal data, which would be based on one single document, the EU Data Protection Regulation, and would move away from the current regime where there are 27 different national data protection laws. The Regulation is still in the formation stage. Think of it as a bill. A first draft of this "bill" was published in January 2012. Since that time, there has been a considerable amount of lobbying to suggest changes to, or removal of, certain provisions. At this point, it is unlikely that a final draft will be approved and effective before the end of 2013. Once the Regulation is finally adopted, it will become effective and enforceable two years later. In the meantime, companies should start evaluating what the changes that the new EU Data Protection Regulation would bring, and the extent to which the company would be able to meet these new requirements. For example, the new Regulation would grant individuals a "right to portability", which would require companies to provide customers with a copy of their data when the customer moves to a different service.
Q. Which law applies to data held in a cloud?
A: This is an excellent question but one that is very difficult to answer because countries around the world do not respond in the same manner and it is difficult to predict what a particular court will rule. In a recent, highly publicized case against Facebook in Germany, the court ruled that Facebook was subject only to the law of the country in which it has its headquarter. The case had to do with a requirement on the sign-up page of the German version of Facebook. A privacy organization had filed a lawsuit against Facebook to require Facebook to make certain changes. Facebook European headquarters are located in Ireland. The German court ruled that German law did not apply because Facebook is registered as a company in Ireland, and not in Germany, thus Irish law should apply. While Facebook has operations in Germany, the court found that the Facebook German subsidiary is only an ad sales and marketing organization that is not concerned by the specific lawsuit. There is a similar case pending in France against Twitter with similar issues, and it will be interesting to find out what the French court of appeals will rule. The globalization of services has created havoc in the way court determine jurisdiction and applicable laws. Today, it is very difficult to predict which way a court will rule.
Q. As a user of cloud services, I read a lot about the ability for governments to gain access to my information and the information of my customers. In reality, how often does this happen?
A: It is impossible to give a definitive answer about the prevalence of government access to data stored by cloud providers. Some provider requests, such as those related to national security, may be required to be confidential. However, a very useful resource is the small but growing trend towards transparency reports. Google has the most extensive transparency report, which provides statistics on the number of requests for user data as well as data removal requests, broken down by country. We think this is good information and we hope to see all cloud service providers follow this trend. We also encourage you to read the CSA Legal Working Group whitepaper related to this topic, "What Rules Regulate Government Access To Data Held By US Cloud Service Providers"
Q. Should I be concerned that my cloud service provider does not have custom E-Discovery services?
A: It definitely warrants further investigation on your part before you need it. In most cases, your cloud service provider should at a minimum have documented capabilities for responding to requests for data related to litigation. Ideally a customer and provider should have an understanding of mutual E-Discovery obligations within the Service Level Agreement. According to the CSA Cloud Data Governance survey, 59% of cloud service providers have a capability to locate and search all of a customer's data.

A Message to the Wiccan Community by Cather "Catalyst" Steincamp "Someday, people may speak of the last two thousand years as 'The Christian Interlude." Tom Williams, quoted in Adler's Drawing Down The Moon This is a really interesting time for us in history; we're walking a fine line between acceptance and eradication. You could observe the events in the news if you wanted to, which will serve to back me up with the number of positives and negatives, but I'm drawing from personal experience. I am "out of the broom closet". This is a decision I made a couple of years ago-- I noticed that the people with whom I choose to associate generally don't care, and I don't like hiding things or lying. I now work as a contractor for IBM-- we're talking corporate America here. Definitely the place for the careful man to keep his mouth shut. I didn't. The repercussions?
But I'm aware that this is not the full story. There are parents having to fight for custody of their children because of their faith. There are people who are losing their jobs because they are Wiccan. There are legal movements against us... and some of them actually pose a threat. We are fighting for our rights and not always winning. The Witches' Voice (the link above) keeps track of these, and its a little scary to look through the events they chronicle. There is currently a movement for Pagan Unity-- a notion that frightens us, and rightly so. A large number of us have been involved in "Witch Wars"-- not against the outside world, but against ourselves. There are those Wiccans who abuse their position and influence in a coven for their own mental, monetary, and even sexual agendas. There are those Wiccans who feel that their own way is the right way, and that everyone else must be stopped. There are those who just use Wicca as an excuse to do drugs, have sex, and be controversial. These people have colored the perception of Wicca-- both amongst ourselves and the outside world. We are also fierce individualists. This is a part of us that we are proud of. But it is also our biggest problem. As we approach the year 2000, we are at a point in history that will make or break us. I'm not partial to believe that, in the cosmic scheme of things, an anniversary of a mythic figure whose alleged date of birth is still a subject of dispute is incredibly important. Even if it were, why would the Gods feel compelled to be impressed by the figure two thousand? The number is the product of a numerical system invented by man. I don't think it's significant to them. But it's significant to us. Who doesn't have their hopes in what the twenty-first century will bring, on any front? I have high hopes. And I believe that if we work together, if not religiously (all we need on that front is to give each other the tolerance we demand from the outside world), then at least politically. Every minority has had to fight for their place in American society-- from the African American to the Irish American. Each one of them makes up an important part of the American Dream, and so do we. And so must we fight for our place. I know that this sounds easy. It's not going to be. And it won't be without its dangers, either. We all like to think that we live in the most enlightened age in history, but the Nazi Holocaust was only fifty years ago. Slavery has not yet been extinct for a hundred and fifty years. (It still exists in some parts of the world.) The Burning Times, historically speaking, were recent. We face this sort of danger when speak out. But we face the same danger if we remain silent. As we hide in shadows, the Hitlers of modern day can say what they want about us. They can put chains on us, socially and legally. As long as we hide, scattered in the shadows, we shall be seen as dwellers of the dark. Cather "Catalyst" Steincamp (c) August 24th. 1997 c.e. |

The Tribeca Film Festival is rolling out more first-looks. First off, is director Steph Green's latest endeavor, entitled "Run and Jump." The
film marks Green's return to Tribeca after winning in the Best Short Narrative category
in 2008 for her film "New Boy." "Run and Jump" stars "Saturday Night Live" alumnus Will
Forte in a rare dramatic turn (perhaps a preview of things to come in Alexander Payne's "Nebraska"), Ruth McCabe, and Edward MacLiam. It follows an Irish wife and mother who find herself having to band her family together after her husband suffers a stroke.
The plot is below:
After a stroke leaves her husband disabled and fundamentally changed, a spirited Irish
wife struggles to keep her family members together. All the while they are under the
microscope of an American researcher documenting their recovery process.
Green is not just a Tribeca alumnus, she's also an Oscar-nominated director, getting the nod in 2009 for Best Short Film, Live Action for "New Boy." This will be her
first foray into feature-length filmmaking, and since she's already received prior acclaim,
the stakes are she jumps into her debut. The cast doesn't have any A-list
names, outside of Will Forte, but Green's strength as a director and the emotional subject
matter make it one to pay attention to.
Whatever happened to the director of "Jawbreaker"? Well, Darren Stein never really went away, he had two pictures after his 1990s teen comedy, but neither resonated much, but he's back with to teen territory with "GBF" (Gay Best Friend).
It stars lot of relative newcomers Michael J. Willett, Sasha Pieterse, Xosha Roquemore, Evanna Lynch with a supporting cast that includes "Jawbreaker" alum Rebecca Gayheart, Megan Mullally, Natasha Lyonne, Jonathan Silverman and Horatio Sanz. The synopsis below.
The bitter fight for supremacy between a school's most popular girls takes an unexpected turn when Tanner (Michael J. Willett) becomes its first openly gay student. As they race to bag the big trend in fashion accessories, the Gay Best Friend, Tanner must choose between skyrocketing popularity and the friends he is leaving behind. Darren Stein (Jawbreaker) returns with another comic send-up of high school clique culture, including memorable cameos by Megan Mullally and Natasha Lyonne.
Can it move the needle like teen comedies of yore? Time will tell.
Next up is Oscar-winner
Melissa Leo in director Enid Zentelis' "Bottled Up" which sets-up the makings for a
compelling drama about the nature of addiction. It'll debut in the Narrative section of the
festival this April. The film co-stars Josh Hamilton and Marin Ireland who had a little stint on "Homeland" last season. The synopsis is as follows:
Complaining of back pain months after a car accident, Sylvie's (Marin Ireland) addiction
to painkillers is clear to everyone except her mother, Faye (Leo). A promising solution
appears in Becket (Josh Hamilton), but relationships and loyalty are soon tested when his
feelings fall in an unexpected place.
Zentelis went to Sundance in 2004, and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize with
her film "Evergreen." Meanwhile, Leo has bene working steadily post-"The Fighter," but "Bottled Up" looks to return her to the gritty material that caught the Academy's
attention back in 2008 with "Frozen River."

Field of Pink Cosmos
Arches 140#CP
It's pretty obvious that spring, warmth, and colors are much needed lately! With all the storms and grey skies, ice and challenging weather, the warmer, brighter days of spring and summer are sure neededl!
Roads yesterday were good; parking lots were like ice skating rinks - but with the wild winds and bit of warm up, most ice is now relegated to the deepest woods and shadiest hillsides.
But the deep cold lingers - even in the 'warmest' conference rooms. Most of the attendents yesterday had their coats over their shoulders, despite the warm air we were breathing. The classes went well, and generated some ideas I'll bring back to the Arboretum.
Today is the trade show and candy for our eyes - new plants, flowers, trees and shrubs should be in their displayed glory. YAHOO!
Stay warm today ... will catch up tonight!

Oooooooooh! I love the color in the flowers and the feel of spring to this!!! Thank you! I definitely needed that. The painting from yesterday reminds me of fireworks...only better.
We had about 12 inches of snow...enough for me to stay home and not drive. I did get out for a walk and to take some snow photos. Then I sat at my living room window and did a little painting. Now the piles of snow are everywhere and are so high you can hardly see over them. This will be with us for a while.
Hope you are dry and warm and that sunny feeling keeps you going. Enjoy! - 13 January, 2011

Ooh lovely colors -- the pinks, blues and greens and the flowers are gorgeous Lin.
I'll be so glad to see real flowers in the spring. Winter is going to be a long one this year I'm afraid. I knew we'd been spoiled for way too long here!
Glad you got to see some "eye candy" at the trade show, even if it wasn't art supplies!!
Big hugs,

Playing in the shadows of Vsevolod Bobrov and Alexei Guryshev, center Viktor Shuvalov is a forgotten early great of Soviet hockey.
The 5-time Soviet all star and USSR league champion often played with Bobrov and Evgeny Babich. Shuvalov, who scored 222 goals in 150 Russian league games, was described as "equally outstanding" as his more famous linemates. Shuvalov was "the driving force behind Bobrov's troika."
Internationally he added 40 goals in 51 contests, winning Olympic gold in 1956 and world championship gold in 1954. He also won a silver in the 1955 Worlds.
Shuvalov sacrificed his own offensive desires to allow his less-than-defensive-conscious linemates to exploit napping defenses. Shuvalov, like all classic Russian centermen, always came back deep in the defensive zone, helping out the dmen. He then would spring his wingmen with breakout passes, trailing behind them almost like a defenseman jumping into the rush nowadays. He would often stay high for defensive purposes, but at other times he would park himself in the slot.
Being the line's defensive conscious meant that he was underrated not only historians but by opponents at the time. They would focus primarily on Bobrov and also Babich, often leaving the trailing Shuvalov unguarded. This allowed Babich to score often.
Shuvalov, one of the earliest Soviet proponents of the slap shot, was a great athlete. He actually played 2 years of soccer at the highest Russian level.

Fantasy baseball continues to shift from the offensive explosion of the 1990s to an era where 2010 may have been the year of the pitcher. There were a slew of standout performances, including Roy Halladay running away with the NL Cy Young, Felix Hernandez deservedly getting the AL hardware despite a 12-13 won-loss record and Tim Lincecum's strong postseason run to lead the Giants to the World Series title.
Last year was also about across-the-board better pitching, as the league-wide ERA dropped from 4.31 to 4.07 year over year. The Giants rode a league-best 3.36 ERA to their first title since moving to San Francisco 52 years ago, and scores of impressive young pitchers made their big league debuts, including the much-hyped (and now hurt)Stephen Strasburg, Jeremy Hellickson, and Cuban fire-baller (105 mph? Really?) Aroldis Chapman. We saw five no-hitters during the regular season, including a Dallas Braden perfecto. Finally, we saw Cliff Lee�s (more on him later) strike-out-to walk ratio of 10.3 fall just sort of Bret Saberhagen�s modern-day record of 11.0.
As a result, finding the top pitchers may be more important for fantasy strategy than in the recent past. There are three circumstances that can help identify pitchers that could be undervalued or overvalued heading into 2011: The Verducci Effect, component numbers and offseason movement...
The Verducci Effect
Named for the venerable Sports Illustrated columnist, Tom Verducci, The Verducci Effect is based on the concept that young pitchers (25 years or younger) who experience innings spikes of 30 or more year over year are at an increased risk for injury. Is the concept that pitchers need to build stamina incrementally over a period of a couple of years a sound one? Sure, it makes sense. Are the players we�re about to discuss in need of a severe fantasy downgrade due to their appearance here? Not necessarily. Simply, this is merely one more tool to take into account as you build your 2011 cheat sheets.
A quick review of Verducci�s Top 10 as they appeared on the 2010 list:
No impact: Mat Latos (a Verducci Effect repeater in 2011), Felix Hernandez, Wade Davis
Injured: Homer Bailey
Maintained performance: Bud Norris, Josh Johnson (back injury), Rick Porcello, Max Scherzer
Took a step back: Joba Chamberlain
Was never that good anyway: Cesar Carrillo
An interesting list, but the theory clearly didn�t hold true, as Felix Hernandez�s 38 innings increase in 2009 didn�t exactly affect the Cy Young winner in 2010. Historically though, the concept has predicted the breakdowns of pitchers such as Francisco Liriano, Anibal Sanchez, Dustin McGowan and Fausto Carmona. But who are we to say that there is a clear and direct correlation between increased workload and injury for young pitchers? Maybe it�s pure randomness, but the Verducci Effect does give us a platform for discussing some of the game�s better young pitchers and what we can expect from them in 2011.
Jaime Garcia�s huge spike is due to a 2008 Tommy John surgery rehabilitation, and since the Cardinals did a good job of limiting his workload in September, I�m slightly less worried about his 2011 prospects for staying healthy. Still, this is a huge jump in innings, so perhaps the Cardinals limit him to 170-180 IP in 2011.
Philip Hughes� spike relates to his transition from the bullpen to the rotation, a move that is now permanent. I�m a little worried about Hughes in 2011, but if the Yankees can re-sign Andy Pettitte or another innings eater, I�ll become less concerned. I�d rather the Yankees take the gloves off Hughes in 2012 than 2011 in terms of his workload.
A nasty hamstring injury limited Jon Niese�s workload in 2009, but he rebounded with a solid 2010. No big concerns with him.
Mat Latos makes his second consecutive Verducci list appearance, with the Padres taking Latos beyond his projected 2010 innings due to their unexpected contention for the NL West flag. He did seem to tire a bit in September, though his 6.21 ERA that month was offset by a solid 35:8 K:BB. At 6-foot-6, he can probably absorb the spike
in innings.
Madison Bumgarner�s 52.1 innings increase doesn�t include the 20.2 innings of 2.18 ERA ball he spun in the playoffs. Hopefully he�s not counted on for as big a workload in 2011, as he�s by far the youngest pitcher on this list. Bumgarner also has an unusual delivery that can be seen as concerning, but yet again, he�s not alone on the Giants� staff in that regard is he?
David Price is a big kid who got better and better as the season went along. That his increase came at age 25 minimizes the risk here. Jhoulys Chacin is a little more of a concern given his age, but he did post a 1.78 ERA in September. Mike Minor�s college workload was very reasonable, so he should be fine.
Regarding Brett Cecil, the innings increase is a data point worth noting, but I�d be more concerned with how much the 1.84 ERA he posted against the Yankees in 2010 will regress.
A guy to be concerned about is Gio Gonzalez. He clearly has talent, but he�s also just 5�11� and despite doing a better job in 2010 of repeating his delivery, he can be prone to mechanical issues that could potentially impact his ability to avoid injury.
I�m not sure Clayton Kershaw is any more prone to injury than any other pitcher despite his appearance here, but then again, maybe I have my Dodgers blinders on. It�s really tough to not predict greatness here, especially given his vastly improved command over the second half last year (3.0 BB/9 vs. 4.0 pre-All-Star break). That said, I�m not quite ready to put him in the Adam Wainwright class of NL starters ... yet.
Component Numbers Looking Beyond ERA
Let�s get a few definitions out of the way first:
xFIP � A metric used to approximate ERA, but takes into account only those things
(walks, strikeouts and home runs) that a pitcher can control. An extreme variance between (.80 or more as a general rule) xFIP and ERA.
BB/9 � Walks per nine innings.
K/9 � Strikeouts per nine innings.
HR/F � Home runs as a percentage of flyballs allowed (11 percent is about league
Component numbers: The aforementioned BB/9, K/9, etc.
BABIP � Batting average on balls in play. Around .300 is league average, so as a
general rule, consider a mark greater than .320 signifying �bad luck,� and a sub-.280
mark �good luck.�
When evaluating starting pitching from a fantasy perspective, one simple rule is that you want to target hurlers who strike guys out, avoid walking the house and don�t surrender too many home runs. Obvious right? In one sense, yes. On the other hand, it�s pretty easy to get caught up in wins (though I�d imagine a large percentage of the fantasy community realizes wins are a poor way to compare pitchers) and ERA come draft day. This isn�t exactly a pioneering concept, but unless you�re playing in an expert league, there is value to be gained from focusing more on K/9, BB/9 and HR/F than ERA and wins.
No, this doesn�t work in all cases, but one example from 2009/2010 is Ricky Nolasco. In 2009, Nolasco was a fantasy disappointment, notching 13 wins with a disappointing 5.06 ERA. However, Nolasco�s 9.5 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 were outstanding, and the difference between his ERA and 3.28 xFIP was a league-high (by far) 1.78. A year later, Nolasco�s skills resulted in a 4.51 ERA and I imagine 2011 will be even better. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Randy Wells went from a 3.05 ERA in his 2009 rookie year to a 4.26 mark in 2010. The culprit? An inability to strike guys out (5.7 K/9) and a 26-point increase in his BABIP.
That said, who are a few guys that may be over or undervalued headed into 2011 based on their 2010 component numbers? Let�s take a look and a handful:
David Price � Don�t get me wrong, I love guys with 19-win, sub-3.00 ERA seasons on their resume. On the flip side, the Rays are cutting payroll, Price still plays in the AL East and a 3.4 BB/9 is average at best.
Clay Buchholz � A 6.2 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 are not frontline starter worthy. That said, we haven�t seen his best yet and you may have noticed that the Red Sox have upgraded their offense this winter. Just make sure you don�t count on anything near a 2.33 ERA again.
Trevor Cahill � Cahill turns 23 in March, and while his sophomore season went far
better than his rookie debut in 2009, 18 wins and a 2.97 ERA leave Cahill a bit overvalued headed into 2011. Considering his age, further development will offset some of the decline, but simply, a 5.4 K/9 and .238 BABIP leave Cahill vulnerable to more like a 4.25 ERA than a sub-3.00 mark.
Mike Pelfrey � 15 wins and a 3.66 ERA were nice, but there wasn�t really that much difference in Pelfrey from the 2009 version that posted a 5.03 ERA. A 5.0 K/9 represented a slight (5.2 in �09) year-over-year decline while his BB/9 improved slightly from 3.2 to 3.0. Interestingly, Pelfrey did develop a splitter last year, using it 16 percent of the time while relying less on his fastball and slider, so if that pitch continues to develop, that will certainly help. Still, in projecting Pelfrey�s 2011 ERA, expect the truth to lie somewhere in the middle of his prior two years� results.
C.J. Wilson � Wilson (15-8, 3.35 ERA) made a solid transition to the rotation in 2010, but given his 4.1 BB/9 and .271 BABIP, I�m not sure those numbers are repeatable. Better to forecast around a 4.00 ERA for the 30 year-old.
Others: Jason Vargas, R.A. Dickey, Dallas Braden, Jeremy Guthrie, Tommy Hunter.
Josh Beckett � Given his history, it�s unlikely Beckett is devalued too much next year, but either way, a strong rebound from a 5.78 ERA is nearly a given. Beckett�s 8.2 K/9 remained strong, and though his command wasn�t quite what we�re used to seeing, his velocity is still there and his .349 BABIP is likely to return to his normal levels.
James Shields � Much of Shields� 5.18 ERA can be attributed to the 7.59 ERA mark he put up in his final six starts. Shields� 8.2 K/9 was the best mark of his career and he continued to limit free passes (2.3 BB/9). Expect his ERA to return to normal levels (3.80-4.00) right along with his .354 BABIP.
Jason Hammel � A 7.1 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 shouldn�t result in a 5-plus ERA, but it did for Hammel in 2010. Hammel added velocity last year and will pitch most of 2011 as a 28-year-old, so the best is yet to come. A nice NL-only sleeper.
Brandon Morrow � Among all major league pitchers with a minimum of 140 innings, no one came close to Morrow�s 11.0 K/9. Sure, his 4.1 BB/9 is below average, but considering that mark dipped to 3.2 over his final 12 starts, there�s a lot to like about the guy the Mariners drafted ahead of Tim Lincecum five years ago.
Bud Norris � Only a handful of major league starters bested Norris� 93.6 mph average fastball. That led to a 9.3 K/9 and 2011 sleeper status, particularly given the potential
(likely?) decline in Norris� 4.5 BB/9.
Others: Edwin Jackson, Ricky Nolasco, Justin Masterson, Joe Blanton, Chris Narveson (NL-only leagues).
On the Move
It doesn�t take a rocket scientist to know that a move from the AL East to say Petco Park has a resulting positive impact to a pitcher�s fantasy value. We didn�t have such an occurrence this offseason (with the exception of a prospect involved in the Adrian Gonzalez deal), but let�s take a quick pass through a handful of guys who will be taking the mound for new teams in 2011.
Cliff Lee (TEX to PHI) � Both ballparks are challenging for pitchers, but the move to the NL certainly helps. That said, Lee would be a stud in either league. Value change: Underrated.
Zack Greinke (KC to MIL) � Easier league. Check. Better offense. Check. Winning environment. Check. Value change: Underrated
Shaun Marcum (TOR to MIL) � Out of the AL East and into the NL Central. Yeah,
this helps Value change: Underrated.
Casey Kelly (BOS to SD) � We know a lot of you play in keeper leagues, so keep this
guy in mind given the change in leagues and very positive change in ballparks.Value
change: Underrated.
Matt Garza (TB to CHC) - It's hard not to say that moving out of the AL East in favor of the NL Central isn't a good thing for a pitcher (a la Shaun Marcum). In this case, a quick examination of the numbers tells a different story. Over past three years, due in no small part to an utter domination (12 starts, 1.47 ERA) of the Blue Jays, Garza was 18-13 with a 3.18 ERA against AL East opponents and 16-18 with a 4.59 mark against all other foes. As a result, Garza's move to the NL may cause his price to rise
too high on draft day. Value change: Overrated.

Frequently Asked Questions: Loan Repayment
The College Cost Reduction and Access Act (CCRAA) of 2007 established, among other things, two new programs that will be of particular interest to graduates going into low-paying and public interest jobs. Income Based Repayment (Section 203 of the Act) allows borrowers to pay back their federal loans on the basis of their income at the time of repayment. Loan Forgiveness (Section 401 of the Act) will forgive federal Direct loans after 120 payments and 10 years of full-time employment in the public service sector. It is possible to take advantage of both these programs at the same time, or to elect one or the other option. One option does not either preclude nor exclude another.
What is Income-Based Repayment?
As of July 1, 2009, this is an option for paying back federal loans which will be particularly helpful for borrowers with higher debt and lower incomes with "partial financial hardship." The amount the borrower pays back is based upon his/her annual adjusted gross income.
Which loans are included?
Most federally guaranteed student loans are included in this benefit, including all Direct Subsidized, Direct Unsubsidized, consolidated, and Grad PLUS loans. Parent PLUS loans, private loans, and loans from outside parties (such as parents) are not included.
How does it work?
The loan payment for the borrower will be capped at 15 percent of the borrower's discretionary income, where discretionary income is defined as the Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) for the student (or student and spouse if filing jointly), minus 150 percent of the poverty level applicable to the borrower's family for that year. In math terms, the equation is:AGI – (Poverty Level x 1.5) x .15If we take an example of a single borrower with a $40,000 income and $90,000 debt:AGI: $40,000 Poverty Level: $10,830$40,000 - (10830 x 1.5) x .15= ($40,000 – 16,245) x .15= $23,755 x .15= $3563.25 -- the maximum annual amount the borrower would have to repay, which translates into $296.94 per month. This contrasts sharply with the standard 10-year repayment plan where the borrower would have to pay $1,036 per month on a 6.8 percent fixed-interest rate loan.
Traditional Debt Management Program (LRAP)
This program is for the entering classes of 1984–2010. If you are from the entering class of 2011 and later, you must review the Income-Based Debt Management Program FAQ (see next section).
The University of Michigan's traditional Debt Management Program is a complicated program, because of our concern for fairness for all participants. That means there are a lot of details and subtleties in the program that can best be explored by discussing your particular situation with a financial aid counselor. This FAQ hopes to address general questions about the program for you. Please let us know how else we can be of assistance.
Generally, how does it work?
In very broad terms, we look at two things to determine your eligibility for the program. First we look at your income and assets to figure out how much we think you can afford to pay toward your monthly student loans. Then we look at the eligible loans that you incurred to attend law school. The difference between the required loan payment and what we expect you to pay is what you get from the program.
Is it free money, or do we have to pay it back?
It is a loan that you get, but if you remain in your same Debt Management-eligible job for the year, it is converted to a grant at the end of the calendar year. If you leave your job or get a really big raise during the year so that you are no longer eligible for the program, you will have to pay money back.
What kind of debt is covered?
The traditional Debt Management Program will consider federal loans (Direct Subsidized, Direct Unsubsidized, and Grad PLUS) and private loans taken out during your time at Michigan Law; however, loans taken out to cover the student contribution or to attend an institution other than the University of Michigan Law School are not included in the program. Bar loans of up to $8,000 and computer loans are also considered eligible for the program.
What kinds of jobs are covered?
You must be employed full time in law-related work. In very general terms that means if a JD is required for the job, then your job qualifies you for the program. The only exceptions to this are judicial clerks, temporary jobs, and fellowships funded by U-M, which do not qualify for the program at all. "Law-related" of course includes those jobs that require an individual to be licensed to practice law, such as working in a law firm or legal services office, representing and advising clients; working at a state or federal agency, representing the legal interests of the government; or working in the general counsel's office of a corporation. "Law-related" also includes any job for which a JD was required in order to obtain the position, even if the job does not involve the practice of law or require bar passage or an active law license. Examples include contract review, corporate compliance, and management consulting, as well as legal policy work, whether for the government, an advocacy organization or a research and educational institution.
Eligibility for our debt management program requires more, however, than an employer's affirmation that the J.D. is helpful in performing the duties of the job. So, for example, a law degree can certainly contribute to an individual's abilities as a public speaker, but that fact is not sufficient to demonstrate that a job is "law-related." Applicants must demonstrate that the job requires skills or knowledge which could only have been attained as part of a legal education.
Special note for those pursuing Presidential Management Fellowship (PMF) positions: On rare occasions, the job you receive may not be law-related and, therefore, makes you ineligible for the Law School's loan repayment assistance programs. The Office of Career Planning will work with you as much as possible to avoid this, but if you are in doubt about it, please be in consultation with the Financial Aid Office to discuss your eligibility.
So your program is not limited to public interest jobs?
No, we do not require that jobs be public interest or public service jobs. We really want our graduates to be doing what they want to do, whether that be working for a public interest organization, the government, or working for a small law firm in a lightly populated area.
Does your job have to be in the U.S.?
No, it does not. We have had recipients in Thailand, Lebanon, and Pakistan, to name a few.
What is the salary cap?
We have no cap. Eventually your salary becomes large enough so that the contribution expected from your income and assets exceeds the monthly payment required on your eligible loans.
How many years can you be in the program?
There is no limit. You could potentially be in the program as long as your loans are in repayment.
Do I have to get into the program right after law school?
No, you can enter at any point that you are in repayment on your loans. You just cannot be delinquent, in default or in forbearance on any of your student loans.
Where can I get more information?
Please visit our website at: http://www.law.umich.edu/currentstudents/financialaid/loanpayment/Pages/ Traditional-Debt-Management-Program.aspx.
Income-Based Debt Management
The University of Michigan Law School has an LRAP (loan repayment assistance program) that supports our graduates so they can pursue the area of employment that they truly love, without the debt they may have incurred in Law School directing their choice. This FAQ addresses general questions, but there are a lot of details and subtleties in the program that can best be explored by discussing your particular situation with a financial aid counselor. Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com if your particular questions are not answered here.
How, generally, does it work?
In order to participate in our program, our graduates must first enroll in the U.S. Department of Education's Income Based Repayment plan (IBR). The IBR plan requires a certain level of annual payment depending on income and, if you work for 10 years in a public interest or public sector job (or 25 years in the private sector), the federal government will forgive your outstanding loans entirely. You must then apply to our LRAP program each year to receive benefits in the following calendar year.
What does Michigan's program provide?
Our LRAP links our benefit calculations to the federal pay scale, in particular, the General Schedule GS-11 rate at which entry-level federal government attorneys are hired ($50,287 in 2012). For graduates whose incomes are at that rate or lower, we will provide an annual payment equivalent to the entire annual IBR payment. In other words, graduates at that income level will make no payment toward their loans. Graduates with higher salaries, up to 175 percent of the GS-11 rate, will also receive an IBR stipend from us, on a sliding scale.
In addition, for LRAP participants at income levels of GS-11 or below, if your annual IBR payment is too low to cover the annual interest accrual on your debt, the Law School will set aside an amount equivalent to your annual unpaid interest in an escrow account. For participants at higher income levels (up to 150 percent of the GS-11 rate), unpaid interest is escrowed on a sliding scale. In the event you stop participating in our program before your loans qualify for federal loan forgiveness, we will remit to you the funds in your escrow account, so long as you have been in the program for at least two consecutive years. This ensures that for most participants in our program, the amount of principal you owe will not be higher if you leave the program prior to total loan forgiveness. (Because IBR payment levels are set according to income only, without regard to the borrower's total debt, it is possible for participants with particularly high debt levels and income over the GS-11 rate to accrue unpaid interest. To avoid this scenario, we encourage students to seek counseling from the Financial Aid office early in your law school career to discuss strategies for reducing your total borrowing.)
Who can apply for this program?
This program is for the entering class of 2011 and later. Students from the entering classes of 1984–2010 may choose to apply for this program if they wish to do so.
How many people participate in the program?
The numbers vary from year to year, but typically 90 to 115 people participate. We do not, however, have any ceiling on the number of graduates we will cover in a given year.
As mentioned before, our calculations are tied to the GS-11 rate, which varies annually according to changes in the cost of living. Our cap is 175 percent of the GS-11 rate for that year. As an example, in 2012 the GS-11 base rate is $50,287, so the cap would be $88,000.
Our program has been designed to cover the vast majority of debt for the vast majority of our students. Federal loans (Direct Subsidized, Direct Unsubsidized, and Grad PLUS loans) taken out during your time at Michigan Law will all be eligible for coverage under the program. Private loans will not be covered unless you were ineligible for federal loans because you were on visa status while attending law school.
Special note for those pursuing Presidential Management Fellowship (PMF) positions: On rare occasions, the job you receive may not be law-related and, therefore, makes you ineligible for the Law School's loan repayment assistance programs. The Office of Career Planning will work with you as much as possible to avoid this, but if you are in doubt about it, please be in touch with us in the Financial Aid Office to discuss your eligibility.
So the program is not limited to public interest jobs?
No, we do not require that employment be in public interest or public service. We really want our graduates to do the legal work they want to do, whether that is for a public interest organization, the government, or a small law firm in a sparsely populated area. The breadth of our program distinguishes it from most other similar programs.
Does my job have to be in the U.S.?
No, it does not. We have had recipients in Thailand, Lebanon, Korea, and Pakistan, just to name a few. However, if your employer is not the U.S. government or a public interest, not-for-profit employer based in the U.S, you might not qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) from the Department of Education. (Our understanding, for instance, is that the United Nations does not qualify for PSLF).
Do I need to make a long-term commitment to the program?
You apply to our LRAP program annually, and you don't need to make any long-term commitment to our program. You can move in and out of the program and do not need to be enrolled in consecutive years. It is to your benefit, however, to stay in the federal IBR program, even if you don't remain in ours. Under the IBR guidelines, if you remain in a public interest or public service job for 120 months, the remainder of your unpaid loans is forgiven. For those in the for-profit sector, forgiveness of the remainder of your loan debt comes at 25 years.
How many years can I be in the program?
You may be enrolled in our program for a total of 10 years. These years do not need to be consecutive.
Is it "free money," or do I have to pay it back?
Each year you are in the program you receive an interest-free loan from the Law School. If you remain in your same eligible job for that year, the loan is forgiven at the end of the calendar year. If you leave your job during that calendar year or receive a substantial raise that makes you ineligible for the program, though, you will have to pay a prorated amount back to the program. But in any event, once your participation in the LRAP ceases, you are in no way obligated to pay back the funding you received from the Law School during your participation.
No, but you must enter within five years of graduation. For example, if you graduated in May 2014, your first opportunity to apply was Fall 2014 for Debt Management in 2015. Your fifth and final opportunity to apply will be Fall 2018 for 2019 support. Graduates whose first job is a clerkship are granted an extension for the duration of the clerkship (usually one or two years).
Where can I find more information?
We have a PowerPoint presentation that provides an overview and details about our program. We also have an Audio FAQ. For more information about the federal government's programs, please visit the CCRAA FAQ at the top of this page.
How do I apply for the Income-Based Debt Management Program?
Applications for our program are made available each year by mid-September, and graduates must submit their forms by the November 1 deadline. You must reapply annually.

(No SPR funds were used in this rescue. Another rescue group is paying for this entire rescue.)
I don't "do" cats. I never have. You see, I am terribly allergic to them. But let me tell you the amazing, unbelievable story of this little kitten...who though 99.99% dead, came back to life through what I believe was the miraculous power of prayer. I promise to you that what I am about to tell you is 100% true. There is no exaggeration, no hype, no dramatics. This is just the way it happened. I know it will be hard to believe, so I have asked Dale, my husband, (Dale is an engineer..an analytical, "to the point" kind of guy) to tell you what we witnessed that morning. I also have included verification from the vet who treated this little miracle.
Four Week Old "Lazarus." Lazarus was healed from being...well, from being mostly dead. His right jaw was crushed. His head was smashed. His body was flat and he was stone cold and not even moving a little bit.
He is now alive and doing well,... a miracle that I saw happen with my own eyes. This is the story of Lazarus. If you do not yet believe in the amazing healing power of prayer...please read on.
On Monday, April 24, a Tulsa woman who began as a rescuer and then became overwhelmed, passed away from cancer leaving approximately 30-40 dogs and around 20 cats homeless. (There were no Bichons...most of the dogs were mixed breeds)
One of our Tulsa attorney friends is on our mailing list for Small Paws® and she had been assigned to this case. I was called as the first responder.
We moved dogs to other rescue groups and vet's offices on Monday and Tuesday. On the second morning, we were about to leave with a load of 8 large dogs in crates.
One of the cat rescue folks was on her way, and she was lost. I was giving her directions on the cell phone when I saw my husband Dale, helping a neighbor's son to move some old furniture and a mattress out of an old barn. You see, there was a Moma cat and four 4 week old kittens who were living in that barn...and no one could get to them with these things blocking them.
As I was on the phone with the cat rescuer, I saw Dale lay a lifeless kitten body, already stiff, on a wooden table outside of the barn. I called over to him..."Oh God...is it dead?"
He answered back, after taking a second look..."Yes...well almost."
The kitten was flat, and it's head was caved in on the right side. It's right jaw was obviously crushed. The queen size mattress Dale had just picked up, had fallen on it, possibly the day before. It's body was cold and STIFF. It's eyes were fixed and totally dilated. It took "death gasps" every 30-40 seconds, and did not move in between. I have never in my life seen something so almost dead.
I hung up the phone and ran over to it. Oh God. There was just no way. It was definately dying.
I put my right hand upon this cold lifeless body, and began to pray in front of God and everybody there" In the name of the Father...ok God..here's the deal. (This is how I talk to God...He and I are on a first name basis...He knows me better than anyone, and He loves me anyway...go figure...) "Ok. God, here's the deal...PLEASE either take this kitten home NOW... or...we need a healing here..right here and now, in the name of the Father, I don't do "in between" very well...please send your power to this kitten...in the name of the Father..we need HEALING..."
(No, I am not a "holy roller". I am just a plain old Oklahoma Southern Baptist gal. Yes, I am a Christian, who knows the power of something as simple as prayer. I guess I have seen it too many times not to trust in God's supernatural healing power, which is available to all of us.)
We wrapped the cold little body in a blanket and began to try to warm it up. We hopped in the truck to go to meet the lost cat rescue folks and bring them back to the site.
When we returned, the kitten's eyes had barely started to focus. Dale and I began heading towards the vet. They had been told what we were bringing in...a mostly dead barn kitten, with a smashed head...and fixed, dialated BLACK eyes, which was not breathing, but every 30 to 40 seconds.
On the way to the vet, the miracle began. His eyes began to turn into regular blue kitten eyes...and...he seemed to be starting to move. I know my husband had doubts...but suddenly, I was beginning to believe that God was indeed going to heal this little nameless barn kitty!
We arrived at the vet's office and they went running in the back with the cold lifeless little body.
Dale's Eye Witness Acount
(Dale is my husband, an engineer, who went to help with this rescue early that morning.)
"Well, this storage shed was stuffed full of an old mattress, hay, and miscellaneous junk. The neighbor's son and I were removing the stuff to find 4 kittens and a momma cat that had been living there. We found one small kitten and a small crate. We placed the kitten in the crate and continued removing junk. Upon removing the last mattress that was standing on edge against the wall, I spotted a dead kitten, obviously crushed by the edge of the mattress. It was semi-flatten and stiff. The right side of its head appeared crushed. I gently picked it up to placed it on a table outside of the shed, as I was moving it I noticed its lower jaw move slightly and it appeared to take a shallow breath. About that time Robin saw it and asked "Is it dead?" I replied "not yet." I've seen road kill that looked more alive. I really thought it would be kinder to put the creature out of its misery. The eyes were fixed and dilated, and it was cold and stiff. Other than the occasional shallow gasp, the kitten appeared mostly dead. Robin immediately rushed up and placed her hand on the poor thing. She prayed "Lord please heal this small kitten or take it now, please don't leave it in between" She then picked it up and carried it up to the neighbor lady assisting with the rescue effort. They wrapped it in small towel, and Robin and I left to bring Tracy to help rescue the remainder of the cats. We then took the kitten to the Vet with the eight dogs we had already loaded into crates in the back of the pickup. During this time, the kittens eyes started refocusing, first the left then the right. Then the little paws started moving slightly and it started trying to pickup its head. When we arrived at the vet Robin gave the kitten to the vet tech and they immediately started trying to warm it with hot water bottles. They said that the body temperature was lower than 86 degrees the lower limit of their thermometer."
The Vet's Report.
Subj: Lazarus the kitten
Date: 4/24/2002 4:29:57 PM Central Daylight Time
From: email@example.com (Alta View Animal Hospital)
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
I am glad that the three-legged kitten that you brought in is doing so well. We have nicknamed him Lazarus. It sounds like he was very close to dying from the description you gave of his condition when you found him. His temperature was below 86 degrees (the lowest our themometer would register) when he arrived here. Kittens should be around 101. He was not very responsive and appeared to have a broken jaw. We started warming him and gave him a steroid injection. We force fed him some sugar water to try and get his blood sugar up. With time he became more alert and responsive. By that evening he was meowing and ate some of our soft hospital food. This morning he was climbing the cage door and is doing very well. The possible fracture of the jaw does not seem significant at this time and if it is present is should heal well without surgery. Thank you for rescuing this special kitten.
Dr. Patrick Cunningham D.V.M.
"If it is present" the vet says. He says that because..it (the crushed jaw) is no longer present. The kitten's head seems to have poofed back out, and now, as you can see, it appears to be a normal little kitten head. We later learned that this kitten also had lost a back leg right about at the knee. It has healed well, and he actually walks on the "stub."
There is a reason this kitten has lived. I believe it is so that I can come and tell you all this message.
If God chose to heal this nameless, feral barn kitten...with no home, no one who loved it...think what He will do for you and your family, for your Bichons. You have only to ask, in His mighty and powerful name. Love, Robin

I almost freaked the hell out when I saw that Tennis Channel was broadcasting only two days of Fed Cup Finals action, live from sunny San Diego. Then I remembered that unlike Davis Cup, Fed Cup is on a frenetic two day schedule. So Tennis Channel is spared my feminazi tirade!
How about a poll instead?
I'm a Davis Cup dork, so I should prefer the three day plan, with doubles in the middle. I do love how doubles is often the turning point or decider in DC competition. But practically, I like to be able to watch the tournament over the weekend. And I'm sure ticket buyers appreciate knowing they'll see "live" rubbers on both days. So I'm abstaining from this vote!
Team USA: Bethanie Mattek Sands, Melanie Oudin, Liezel Huber, and Coco Vandewegh, Captain Mary Joe Fernandez (I'm missing Vania King on this squad. . .)
Team ITALIA: Flavia Pennetta, Francesca Schiavone, Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci, Captain Corrado Barazzutti
Venue: San Diego Sports Arena, indoor hardcourt
This should be an entertaining replay of last year's final. I give an edge to the defending champs, with Schiavone and Pennetta continuing to show strong form a year after their career changing team effort. Team USA is hoping that these two stars are tired after playing in Doha last week. (Digression: One of my favorite stories of this past year was Schiavone's surprise French Open title – possible only because of the confidence and inspiration she gained by winning the 2009 Fed Cup.)
But the Williams-less American women aren't a lost cause. They're comfortable underdogs and have the home (hard) court advantage in San Diego this time around. Huber and Sands did make it to the Wimbledon semis as a team this season and Oudin can play well under pressure. 2008 US Open junior champ, Coco Vandeweghe, has had a successful turn as a grown-up this season. She made it to the quarters this summer at the Mercury Insurance Open in San Diego and won her two first pro-level titles on the USTA Pro Circuit this spring.
Better watch and see what happens!

The ways to hurt are infinite.
When you live with an abuser, everything is a weapon. In their hands, innocent objects like ice-cube trays and checkerboards and apples and pillows become ways to inflict suffering, to demand submission.
It is all there in the police reports, set out in relentless, mundane detail. Globe data graphics reporter Gabriel Florit collected three years of reports on domestic violence incidents in Boston, from April 2011 to April 2014. Laid end to end, the police accounts reveal the massive scale of the problem. And not just its vastness, but its pervasiveness. The potential for violence saturates every minute of a victim's day.

Cleaning a horses teeth inbetween dentist visits Anybody know how to clean a horses teeth? My seven year old Appy mares teeth become really dirty. They were cleaned little over two months ago by the equine deintist. She literally cleaned them like a human dentist would clean your teeth. The teeth almost becomes coated in green goo and it stinks to high heaven. So now I need to find a way to clean inbetween dentist vists. |
If it smells that bad, that soon, she might have some other problem going on. I would call the vet for advice. Posted via Mobile Device |
I agree with the above poster. Horses breath should not reek, it should smell grassy... I'd suggest getting a vet out and checking for something else going on. |
