SPOKANE, Wash. – For the third consecutive race, the Lipscomb men's cross country squad found themselves at the top of the leaderboard. This time, it was at the Erik Andreson Invite in Spokane, Wash., Saturday.
"Today was terrific for our program," Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. "They really dominated the race. It was certainly a nice showing here in Spokane."
The Bisons were led by freshman Juan Gonzalez who finished fifth in a time of 25:47.10. Senior Geoff Musick, Christian Freeman and sophomore Daniel Gardner finished seventh, eighth and ninth, respectively. Senior Tim Muller finished 11th for the final point placing.
"Juan knows when to go at the end," Taylor said. "He is a great team pack runner, helping our guys stick together. When it's time to finish, he attacks. He is talented and smart. That is why he has been our number one runner all three meets.
"His teammates are close though. Geoff had possibly his best race today. Christian is back after a small injury setback and looks stronger every day."
The Purple and Gold scored 40 points for the victory as Gonzaga scored 77 points to finished second.
Although Lipscomb won the race, Taylor thought the squad was plagued by a slow start for the second week in a row.
"We got out too slow," Taylor said. "For the second week in a row, they remained calm and worked their way through and got themselves into position pretty quickly. They worked incredible as a pack and really controlled most of the race from the fourth position on.
"We must improve our start though, or we will get buried at Notre Dame in two weeks. They understand that and we will do some work to fix that over these two weeks."
In the overall scheme of the season, Taylor has remained proud of his runners and the successes they have had.
"I'm just so proud with the way this men's team is working together and racing for each other," Taylor said. "This is an incredible group of guys and they have bought into what we are doing and we can accomplish. Today was another step forward."
Lipscomb, ranked sixth in the South Region, defeated Gonzaga and Washington State who are both ranked in the West Region.
"Today was a nice victory," Taylor said. "Unfortunately, we didn't get Gonzaga at full strength. Washington State didn't race many of their men, either. Those are two ranked teams in the West that we would love to see how we match up right now.
"We'll take the win and use this to get even better."
The Bisons are back in action on Friday, Oct. 4, at the Notre Dame Invite.

My great great great grandmother, Frances Armitage, was born around 1829 in Lockwood, Yorkshire, which is now part of Huddersfield. On 11 July 1847, she married William Broughton in nearby Almondbury. From her marriage record, I know that her father's name was Joseph Armitage.
With this knowledge, it was easy enough to find Frances and her family in the 1871 census. Once I looked on Ancestry I also quickly found them in the 1861 and 1881 censuses (Ancestry subscription required for those last two links). But I didn't have enough information to find Frances before her marriage.
I've found various records that seem promising based on the name, approximate birth date, and father's name, including a birth record on FamilySearch. They all have a mother named Martha. So I figured, if I could just determine that Frances' mother's name was Martha, it would be a pretty safe assumption that these other records belonged to her as well.
Enter the 1851 census (Ancestry link). The image is nigh unreadable, but looking at that and the transcription together I was able to figure out some things. Frances' family group was transcribed as William Broughton, age 30, head; Frances Broughton, age 23, daughter; Benjamin Wetherhill, age 24, lodger. Now, obviously this is a mistake in relationships, since Frances couldn't be William's daughter when she's only seven years younger than him.
But it all started to make sense when I looked at the people listed right before this family: Martha Armitage, age 61, head; Ann Armitage, age 15, son [weird...]; Richard Armitage, age 13, grandson. And, it appears that this household and the Broughton household are actually all at the same address! So, I figure that Frances Broughton is listed as daughter because she is actually the daughter of the head of the household, Martha Armitage, and for whatever reason William was listed as head instead of son-in-law.
So, the result of all this is that I'm reasonably certain that Frances' mother was named Martha, and therefore I'm reasonably certain that I have the right birth record, meaning I now have Frances' exact birth date! Next step: get her birth record from the parish records. This is a step I haven't taken yet in any of my English lines; I always just get back to the beginning of the civil BMD records and then stop and work on something else. This is because I tend to shy away from things that I can't do online. But eventually I'm going to want my English lines to go back pre-1830s, so this is definitely a skill I need to learn!

Growing awareness of the role that fitness and conditioning play in promoting wellness, preventing disease, and improving athletic performance -- as well as the importance of exercise after illness or medical intervention -- translates into a range of career opportunities in clinical exercise science.
In our program you'll gain a broad foundation in the liberal arts and in the basic and applied sciences while learning such essential clinical procedures as measuring strength and flexibility, assessing blood pressure, evaluating neuromuscular function, analyzing cardiac and pulmonary function, and prescribing individualized exercise programs.
To apply that knowledge, you may work in the Robert R. Colbert Sr. Wellness Clinic right on campus. This unusual opportunity allows you to gain real-world, practical experience in promoting wellness to staff and faculty members of Ithaca College. Fieldwork and internships -- including hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation, corporate fitness, or strength and conditioning for athletes -- are a crucial part of every student's education.
You can tailor your curriculum to specialize in personal training, strength and conditioning coaching, cardiac rehabilitation, youth or geriatric fitness, or fitness program management. Optional minors in such areas as nutrition or gerontology can also help focus your studies.
With a clinical exercise science degree, you'll be prepared to take external certification examinations such as those offered by the American College of Sports Medicine or the National Strength and Conditioning Association, to attend medical school or graduate school in the allied health professions, or to pursue an advanced degree in exercise science, health and fitness management, or related fields. Our graduates are employed in a wide variety of occupations and work environments -- as physician assistants, exercise physiologists, strength and conditioning coaches, or pharmaceutical representatives -- in private, corporate, athletic, and health care settings.

Salmon provides services such as ecommerce, digital consulting, design, delivery and support services to retail, wholesale and manufacturing brands. Other clients include Game, Halfords and Selfridges.
The agency employs 420 people across offices in the UK, China and in Australia, and it will continue to operate as a stand-alone brand and agency within WPP, led by chief executive Neil Stewart.
Salmon was owned by a private parent company, Okam Limited, having been co-founded by its current chairman Chris Harvey in 1989.
In a statement, WPP said the deal reflected the increasing importance of ecommerce to retailers, manufacturers and brand owners, but declined to comment on the financial terms involved.
Salmon's consolidated unaudited revenues for the year to 31 October 2012 were £34.3m, while its gross assets at the same date were £11.3m.
Sir Martin Sorrell, chief executive of WPP, said "Close collaboration between Salmon and WPP's other agencies will allow WPP to bring clients a tightly-integrated solution across both marketing and technology, and help both the CMO and CIO deliver customer-centric, multichannel solutions – yet another example of where CMO and CIO have to work together."
Stewart added: "With increased client exposure and access to new geographies, our partnership with WPP will help fuel the next stage of our evolution into a global full-service digital delivery agency."

Developers at Opera appear to be suffering iPhone envy. Today the company rolled out a public beta of its Opera Mini 4 browser, designed for Java enabled phones, which rips off features first unveiled on iPhone's Safari browser. Opera Mini 4 sports Safari's impressive zoom feature that enables users to see a large thumbnail image of a web page, and navigate or zoom to specific sections of the page by tapping in that location.
I've used Opera Mini on my Treo and frankly it stinks. So does the Treo for that matter, but that's another topic. The browser is very poorly optimized and lacks elegance and integration of a native application environment. Opera's mobile browser for Windows Mobile is a much better overall solution, but still lacks refinement. Keep trying, Opera. You'll get it right - eventually.

Someone in Darrelle Revis' camp reportedly had some salt to throw into the Jets' wounds after the trade with the Buccaneers was finalized on Sunday, but Revis himself had a more charitable way of saying goodbye.
Revis, the team's first-round pick in 2007, spent six years with the Jets and ranks with Joe Klecko as one of the most decorated defensive players in the history of the franchise. It was a complicated relationship, with two holdouts and the little dance both sides did before the deal with the Buccaneers was done, but the higher points were what Revis concentrated on in his farewell.
"I been sitting around for the last hour trying to figure out what to say to the Jet Nation & I came up with this. The six years I played for the New York Jets were unbelievable. I put my body on the line everyday & did everything could to help the team win. I experienced a lot & & learned a lot. The memories I had in New York I will keep dearly to my heart. I want to thank all the jets fans for making me feel welcome," Revis wrote on Sunday evening.
The ending was ugly, but that tends to be the case in the NFL and the constant contract issues made this divorce seem more inevitable than most even before Revis tore his ACL during a sinking Jets season. Both sides were well prepared to move on without the other, although it might take the Jets a bit longer to find their way back to a winning record.

Don't miss a beat in 2012: Get the facts about fats and heart health
(ARA) - With heart disease the leading cause of death in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it's time to listen to your heart and get the right kinds of fats into your daily diet. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends consuming polyunsaturated fats, specifically omega-3 fatty acids, for heart health. But what are these "good fats" and how do you make them a part of your daily nutrition program?
"Hundreds of studies from prestigious groups like the National Institutes of Health and universities like Harvard and Tufts, repeatedly and consistently show that when you add omega-3-rich foods or supplements to the diet, you help to lower your risk for heart disease," says Elizabeth Somer, a registered dietitian and author of "Eat Your Way to Sexy." "One important step is making sure your diet is packed with heart-healthy omega-3s. The omega-3s in fatty fish, especially DHA, keep blood vessels squeaky clean and reduce inflammation. They lower heart disease risk; raise HDLs - the good cholesterol; help stabilize the heartbeat and reduce blood clots, thereby curbing the risk for heart attack and stroke."
Somer answers some questions about heart health:
Q: What are the main differences between "good fats" and "bad fats?"
A: We often hear that Americans eat too much fat, while people in other parts of the world aren't eating enough. The truth is that, regardless of fat intake, very few people are eating the right fats. Fats to avoid are saturated and trans fats, which are solid at room temperature - like butter. In contrast, consuming polyunsaturated fatty acids - specifically omega-3s DHA and EPA found in fatty fish - are important for brain, eye and cardiovascular health.
Q: Doesn't my body make all of the omega-3s needed to help maintain a strong heart?
A: Many experts have indicated that the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA are essential nutrients due to the limited ability of our body to make enough of them and because of their beneficial health effects. That's why we must get these nutrients from the foods we eat and supplements. The main dietary source of DHA and EPA is cold-water fish, such as salmon. Unfortunately, studies show the American diet includes far less than the ideal amount of DHA and EPA. For example, an average U.S. diet contains less than 100 milligrams of DHA per day. That is well below one expert's recommendation of at least 220 milligrams of DHA per day. Studies show that the more omega-3s you consume, the healthier your heart.
Q: What if I don't like eating fish - are there other ways to get DHA and EPA into my diet?
A: The most common sources of DHA and EPA omega-3s are fatty fish and fish oil. Interestingly, many people believe that fish produce their own DHA and EPA, but in actuality it is the microalgae in their food chain that make fish such a rich source of omega-3s. For those who do not eat significant amounts of fish due to dietary preferences, allergies, a vegetarian lifestyle or worries about potential ocean-borne pollutants, there are DHA/EPA supplements made from algae. One such supplement is Schiff MegaRed Plant-Omega, which is made from a vegetarian and sustainable source of DHA and EPA - algae. To learn more, visit www.schiffmegared.com.
Q: How much DHA/EPA should I get in my diet?
A: If you're not getting at least two servings a week of salmon, mackerel, herring or sardines, and you're not loading foods fortified with an algal-based DHA onto your plate, then make sure to take at least 220 milligrams of DHA in pill form. According to the American Heart Association, people with documented coronary heart disease (CHD) are advised to consume about one gram of EPA and DHA per day.

In contrast in Gentoo, another rolling release distribution, the policy is they stabilize a package after a month without any bug reports about it. Due to this policy, Gentoo is still at Firefox 3.6.x while Arch provides me latest Firefox. Even when Firefox released an update after the DigiNotar issue, Arch also pushed the update to its repositories. With Gentoo's policy, it certainly is more stable. As Arch provides, bleeding edge software, you need to understand how to act/react when there are inconsistencies. Only yesterday, hit three bugs: filed one in KDE directly, another in Arch and another in Enlightenment. Another time, I was getting a bug related to valgrind because I had an updated version of it as Arch had pushed the update much before any other distribution. I should probably also mention that Arch released a patched version the following day.
Arch is really simple in the sense at the system level. I was able to create init scripts for Arch far more easily than on Gentoo for the same package. Arch however is not as configurable as Gentoo is. No distribution can match or even come close to Gentoo in this regard. It uses a unique system for this called USE flags. With Arch I can not have a custom KDE; but with Gentoo I have a large number of options as to what I want to have and what not. This flexibility of configuration in Gentoo comes at a price: every package is compiled on your system.
I have provided comparisions with Gentoo because it is the only distribution that has comparable features. Both of these distributions are in a way close to me. On my home desktop, I have Gentoo installed; but on my laptop where I do most of my development tasks, I use Arch linux and I do not see a distribution switch in near future.
For me, Arch surely is a base platform to do what I want to do. I have so to say three distributions in one: a distribution that provides nice command line environment, another that provides nice and stable KDE. I have even stopped akonadi and nepomuk search from starting up at all as they started mysql instances and I was not using any of them. The third one provides latest Enlightenment desktop. I compile it instead of using the packages in the repositories so that I am up to date and also to get debug symbols compiled in.
There have been some issues with Arch from time to time though. For example, the Ricoh card reader on my laptop works fine for some kernel versions; but does not work with others. Arch surely is not for the beginners. However, for advanced users, it provides a lean system which can be tweaked to taste.

have a great week
Moderator: Van Canna
in Israel where I come from (Tel Aviv) it's really necessary to know how to defend yourself, there's no pretence! If it's not the terrorists, it's going to be the people on the street who are going to be after you. Some places where we come from are really dangerous, you get hot-blooded people that are really quick to anger! So you may well assume, Krav Maga, the Israeli martial-arts and self defence is really big in Israel!
Pretty much every high school boy takes part in lessons at one stage or another. I took it more seriously, as, when I was six years old some older kids bullied me, tied me to a tree and burned the tree. I was almost about to die until someone found and untied me really quickly. Eventually the school where all this happened came to an agreement with my parents to send me to study self-defence, at their expense.

This article is going to list three overvalued and undervalued
WRs based off of their average draft position (ADP) data from
Antsports. The ADP's in this piece are based off drafts
conducted in 12-team leagues that start two WRs.
Lee Evans,
Average Draft Position: 4:06
schedule sets up real nicely for Evans to do what he usually does,
finish out well. However, in this case, that is not necessarily
the best thing unless his owners can live with their #1 WR giving
them all of his production in the last four games of the fantasy
season. When I review Evans' numbers from last season and
how he got them, I see a long TD against Chicago in garbage time
to avoid a shutout in a 40-7 game, a 265-yard, 2-TD game against
a pathetic Texans' pass defense and a 145-yard, 1-TD effort
against a Ravens team that had little to play for in Week 17.
Did Evans have a breakout year? He sure did. Now, let me present
the reasons why he will not match his current draft slot…
Evans will be a trendy pick based off his second-half performance
from last season. But looking at the first three-quarters of the
schedule this season, he will likely have to do battle against
many of the league's top corners. Among the corners he will
face: Champ Bailey, Rashean Mathis, Chris McAllister, Terrence
Newman, and Asante Samuel (twice) not to mention Ike Taylor and
Deltha O'Neal, two players who will likely play much better
than they did last season. For those of you that didn't
keep count, that is eight matchups in the first 11 games that
are far from easy…in fact, that is about as tough as it
gets. And while QB JP Losman seemed to improve by leaps and bounds
in the second half of the season, he did not exactly face a series
of great pass defenses down the stretch either. Much like Evans,
Losman figures to be a great second-half player this season. But
as we already know, it doesn't do an owner much good to
have great numbers from players when your fantasy team is already
out of the playoff race. WRs like Hines Ward, Reggie Brown and
Santana Moss are all going a full round after Evans – all
receivers that have easier slates in which to do their damage.
Burress, NY Giants
Average Draft Position: 5:01
Burress has a lot of the physical traits I would use if I were
to build the perfect WR, but none of the mental or intangible
ones. For all the negative publicity that Randy Moss gets for
just running the "go" route, his effectiveness isn't
limited to just that as he commands a double team almost every
play and typically is able to "go get the ball". Burress,
on the other hand, sometimes can be guarded with just one player
and all too often is outworked for the jump ball – a play
that should be his forte.
Those are not the only reasons I am down on Burress though. Amani
Toomer returns from injury and will likely steal a score or two
from the 10 that Burress had in 2006. Steve Smith and Sinorice
Moss (assuming he stays healthy) will likely steal yards. I'm
also not a big fan of the 2007 version of the New York offensive
line and their prospect for keeping QB Eli Manning upright. I
like what LT Luke Petitgout brought to the Giants and think his
presence will be beneficial to jump-starting the Bucs' offense
this fall – but that isn't going to help the G-men.
David Diehl steps in and I will be surprised if he can –
in his first real action at LT – perform to the standard
that Petitgout set.
Lastly, with the lack of trust on the left side of the line and
much criticism being leveled at QB Eli Manning's accuracy,
expect the short passing game to be in vogue, a concept that has
never been a strength of Burress'. While the receiving corps
will be more talented than it has been in years, I feel the talent
– in this case – will rob Burress of his low-end #1
numbers instead of help them. He's not going to fall off
the chart completely though, but enough to knock him out of the
conversation for #1 fantasy WR consideration in 12-team leagues.
Burress was actually pretty consistent down the stretch last season,
but over his career, has been just a bit too much hit-or-miss
for my taste. He is going a half-to-a-full round before WRs like
former Steeler teammate Hines Ward, Deion Branch and Santana Moss
– all players I would rank slightly ahead of Burress.
Jackson, San Francisco
Average Draft Position: 7:01
As noted in my previous series, "Offseason
Movement", I thought the acquisition of Jackson for a
fourth-round pick was a steal...I still do. However, after further
research, I have done made a 180-degree turn since that time in
regards to his fantasy stock. Owners who make a similar investment
(fourth-round pick) in their fantasy draft expecting his numbers
will carry over from Seattle will be in for a rude awakening.
Why the about-face? He leaves a situation in Seattle where he
was option #1 in an passing offense that likes to throw with a
proven QB and play-caller along with a RB who did not steal a
lot of catches from him out of the backfield. In San Francisco,
he has none of those characteristics going for him.
First, TE Vernon Davis is likely to get as much attention from
QB Alex Smith, who is certainly no Matt Hasselbeck at this point.
New OC Jim Hostler, who is keeping Norv Turner's offense and terminology
intact, is a first-time play-caller, far from what Mike Holmgren
is in Seattle. Lastly, Frank Gore will probably haul in 50-60
balls again this season, roughly 40 more than Shaun Alexander
does. Factor in all that with his early battle with turf toe and
it should shape up to be a down year for a WR who has been consistently
undervalued most of his career. Currently, he is going in the
seventh round – a round or two ahead of Jerricho Cotchery,
Greg Jennings and Santonio Holmes - three WRs I feel will put
up similar numbers.
Reggie Brown,
Average Draft Position: 5:06
Talk about a tale of two halves: In the first half of the 2006
season, Brown hooked up with QB Donovan McNabb 26 times for 502
yards and five TDs – including two 100-yard days - and was
on pace for just over 1000 yards and 10 scores, numbers that would
have slotted him as the #11 fantasy WR, just ahead of Burress.
After the Week 9 bye week (which included McNabb's knee injury
in Week 11), however, Brown saw three or fewer catches in five
of the games. While he still caught three TDs in the second half,
he posted three games with 27 or fewer yards receiving despite
being targeted more than his partner-in-crime Donte Stallworth
down the stretch.
So, what makes Brown's stock valuable? Stallworth departed for
New England, LJ Smith is an unknown quantity given his recovery
from a sport hernia and free agent signee Kevin Curtis is new
to the offense. And yes, McNabb returns. Brown enters his third
season (and while I don't necessarily buy into the "third-year
WR breakout theory"), it makes a fair amount of sense that
Brown - who is the best combination of experience and talent amongst
the Eagles receivers - would benefit from a QB that trusts him
in an offense that will still throw quite a bit more than it will
run, even though HC Andy Reid is no longer calling the plays.
Value-wise, until Lee Evans can become a 16-game WR instead of
just a second-half WR, I would feel better about Brown's
consistency (even in a spread-the-wealth offense like the Eagles)
than Evans, someone who is getting selected a full round ahead
of Brown.
Moss, Washington
Average Draft Position: 6:03
Moss is what some people in the business like to call "an
every-other-year" type of receiver. In 2003 and 2005, he
went well over 1000 yards receiving both times and hauled in 19
TD receptions. In 2004 and 2006, he was held well under 1000 yards
in each season and caught a combined 11 scoring passes. However,
just because there is a pattern developing doesn't mean
there is a noteworthy trend…yet. So let's review some
more concrete evidence.
Mark Brunell helped bring Santana Moss back to prominence in
2005, but teams started game-planning for Brunell and the short-passing
game knowing that the lefty did not possess the deep ball he once
had. Outside of a 3-TD game against the Jaguars, Moss was invisible
(much like all the players in the Redskins passing game). However,
replacing Brunell with Jason Campbell seemed to boost the passing
game as Moss was thrown to 46 times over the last six weeks of
the season (he caught 24) as opposed to the 56 targets he saw
in his first eight games (he caught 31). It did not represent
a significant change in Moss' numbers, however, he became
more consistent in the scoring department while Chris Cooley and
Antwan Randle El also picked up their numbers as well once Campbell
started taking snaps.
While too many weapons in an offense can sometimes drag a top
receiver's total numbers down, most players need at least
one secondary player that strikes fear into the heart of a defense.
Cooley is emerging as that "secondary threat". Campbell
has enough mobility to buy time in the pocket and a strong enough
arm to hit Moss deep, two things Brunell lacked the ability to
do last season. And lastly, the running game will take most of
the defense's attention, likely freeing up Moss at least
once or twice a game to make the big play he has made so many
times in his career. A player with a few more question marks like
Burress should not be going a round before Moss, who has shown
he can be a #1 fantasy WR when he is in a situation that utilizes
his play-making talents.
Holmes, Pittsburgh
Average Draft Position: 9:03
Anyone who has already read my previous overvalued/undervalued
article on the QB position
should have seen this one coming. Pittsburgh is going to field
two fantasy-starter caliber WRs. The Steelers' most recent
depth chart shows Cedrick Wilson ahead of Holmes, but don't
be alarmed. It is only a matter of time. While I will not discount
the possibility of a "sophomore slump", I do believe
that he can't help but produce more stat lines like he did
in December when he was handed the starting job, catching 16 passes
for 320 yards and a TD. While that pace may not be sustainable
yet for him (64 receptions, 1280 yards, 4 TDs, 20 yds/catch average),
there is definitely something to be said about a rookie that can
average 17 yds/catch on 49 catches. The preseason has already
shown us OC Bruce Arians will take deep shots on a fairly regular
So, let's be critical and say the offense will stay run-heavy
even though Arians and former OC Ken Whisenhunt's track
records are totally different. It is hard to suggest that Holmes'
late-season numbers last year was a result of a pass-heavy offense.
Arians will have the Steelers throw the ball more than they ever
would have under Cowher. If he plays/starts all 16 games this
season, it will be hard to keep Holmes under 70 catches. At 15
yards/catch, that figures to be 1,050 yards. Even if he modestly
improves his TD total to six, that makes him an awfully good bargain
for a player that is currently the 36th WR taken off the board
in the ninth round, a round or two after players like Mark Clayton,
who will be hard-pressed to match those numbers in Baltimore's

Ashley Benson Obtains Restraining Order Against Ex-security Guard
Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson has obtained a temporary restraining order against a former security guard who had desires on her.
The actress was granted the order against 49-year-old James Gorton Jr. on Wednesday (18Jun14). He was recently fired from his position as a guard on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California where her hit teen drama is filmed.
In legal documents obtained by Tmz.com, Gorton, Jr., allegedly told studio security officials that he has sexual feelings for the 24 year old, and that "God instructed him to pursue her romantically."
He also reportedly told colleagues he "felt a special bond" with Benson after she looked his way one day, and he believed she was silently sending him messages.
Gorton, Jr., who is married, has been ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from Benson.

Zack Schilawski and Bobby Shuttleworth will spend 10 days training with English League One side Plymouth Argyle
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – There was plenty of packing to be done on Tuesday morning at Gillette Stadium, where members of the New England Revolution completed exit physicals and emptied out their lockers following two weeks of postseason training.
But for 23-year-olds Zack Schilawski and Bobby Shuttleworth – who depart on Wednesday for a training stint in England – more extensive packing awaited at home.
Schilawski and Shuttleworth – who would've been joined by England native Jason Griffiths were it not for an injury – will spend a total of 10 days in southwestern England, training with League One club Plymouth Argyle from Nov. 10-21. The duo will link up with former Revolution assistant coach Paul Mariner, who spent six years in Foxborough before taking a position with his former club Argyle, where he currently serves as head coach.
"It's going to be good," said Schilawski, who scored five goals in 25 appearances in his rookie year. "(It's) not too long of a trip – 10 days – but it's going to be nice to keep training and [experience] a different atmosphere, a different environment. For me, at this point in my career, an extra couple weeks of training is only going to benefit me.
"It's always good to get feedback from as many different people as possible," he continued. "So for me, I'm going to try to play as well as I can, hopefully show well, and then get some feedback from [the Plymouth] coaching staff."
Looking to continue his development in front of goal, Schilawski is particularly excited about the opportunity to work with Mariner, who scored 13 goals in 35 appearances as a striker for the England National Team during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
During his time in Foxborough, Mariner was largely credited with aiding the development of the Revolution's all-time leading scorer, Taylor Twellman. In a recent press conference announcing the end of his playing career, Twellman praised Mariner's influence, going so far as to call head coach Steve Nicol's hiring of Mariner as "the best thing he ever did" for Twellman's career.
Now, Schilawski is hoping he can similarly absorb some of Mariner's wisdom.
"He's someone I'm really excited to have a chance to play for," Schilawski said of Mariner. "Obviously it's only 10 days in training, but with the kind of striker that he was, the kind of experience he's had and other forwards who have played for him, it's going to be a valuable tool to get feedback and hopefully learn as much as possible.
"Any little thing that he can help me with I think is going to help me a lot next year, so I can come back and be even more confident and comfortable and go from there," he continued.
As a goalkeeper, Shuttleworth doesn't work quite as directly with Mariner, but the second-year netminder is thrilled at the opportunity to continue his development after earning the first five starts of his professional career in 2010.
"Being a young goalkeeper, it's all about experience," said Shuttleworth. "This is just another experience for me to take in and just to keep working to get more minutes on the field."
Shuttleworth sees the Revolution's willingness to send him to Europe for additional training as a positive sign, noting that the commitment to spend time on his continued progression instills confidence.
"Whenever I've had a conversation with [the Revolution coaching staff], it's been reasonably positive," he said. "I think that's a good thing, and I think this shows that they're trying to develop me and bring me along, which is obviously something I really want to happen."

Yet another cool hike around the area is the Ramshorn-Livingston Sanctuary in Catskill, a pleasant hike with neat sights and sounds and a marsh overlook that's fantastic (and shakes a bit on top, which makes it better in my view).
As with previous tours posted here, The Street View map below constitutes many 360-degree images, all connected so that you can 'walk' around the trails. I did a big loop so I ended up touching on all trails. There are more than 30 images, all taken on June 3.
This tour, as noted previously, will also work in virtual reality with the Stree View app.
Search for Ramshorn-Livingston and click on any image by yours truly. See if you can find me sitting on a bench.

I'm looking to purchase a unit in this building. From these postings there hasn't been any reports since 2012. Does anyone know of any bedbug or cockroach problems in the last 2 years? Your help and honesty is greatly appreciated.
tenant wholived inbuilding fromheck on 10/23/2012
40 homewood has them crawling on the walls of the 8th floor and 6th floor - recently there was 3 floors affected in the building because of one unit. there is and has always been bedbugs at homewood because of all the rentals - transients who live there.
the board is not on top of it either (or they are just embarrassed) at the situation.
sheila on 12/21/2011
We just moved in this october and love this building. our unit is clean as well as the building..we have never encountered any bedbugs or cockroaches and i find it very hard to believe they are in this building( well our unit defintiely).
BWB on 09/13/2011
I have been an owner and lived at 40 Homewood for over 10 years on the 12th floor. I have not seen any bedbugs on my floor and I have not heard of any neighbours with problems on my floor.
I hear of neighbours on other floors having had them and the pest control people come in and spray immediately.
Management is very good at keeping this Toronto problem under control in our building.
I have seen people bring in discarded furniture from the trash. Thankfully I have not seen them br
ing in any mattresses or box springs. Even an old television or dresser can contain bed bugs so just be carefulnot to bring in anythignthat was thrown away - despite howbeautiful it may look.
Living in downtown Toronto it is inevitable we will all encounter some bed bug issue and we (owners/tenants/management) just need to be proactive in addressing them as they arise.
40homeowner on 08/21/2011
i cant believe this about 40 homewood, i have lived on the 7th floor for 7 years as a tenant and never seen bedbugs or heard of bed bugs. maybe people travel and bring them in theirselves and want to blame others
if there were not so many tenants at homewood this probably would not happen and the tenant who reported this on the page may want out of his lease and making excuses.
who knows
but to date i have not seen bedbugs on the 7th floor.

Bryan on 06/21/2010
I'm shocked to read a poster here saying that if you feel mentally traumatized (after infestation) there was something wrong with you mentally in the first place.
In case anyone read that and took it to heart - don't listen to him! Feeling anxious or even traumatized after having an infestation is NOT an abnormal or weird thing. Its completely natural to feel this way after finding bed bugs. I'm not saying its *good* to feel that way, but don't feel bad that you do.
Hopefully if you f
eel this way it will fade over time. Just remember that these things don't carry diseases and do not cause illnesses/are not fatal. The only medical risk is that you may scratch the bites too hard and get a skin infection that leads to something worse. This is the same risk involved with mosquito bites, if you scratch them too hard they can get infected.
If you feel really nervous/anxious and can't live with that stress, talk to your doctor about it. Anxiety and depression don't just appear in people who were "already mentally off", it can happen to anyone after being traumatized.
Anonymous on 03/15/2010
Moved out of this building just recently due to bugs. I am a very clean person, I do not leave dishes or other dirt around, and even seal and dispose of my garbage regularly. The problem is that I was next to the garbage chute. In my three years there I had a bedbug infestation and saw many baby cockroaches, especially towards the end when I moved out. They need some bug control in the building.
New to 40 Homewood on 10/04/2009
Wow, to think you people are my neighbours! What a lousy (haha) way to treat each other. Just because one unit hasn't had them doesn't mean another hasn't. The last poster is right: be vigilant. We are in the middle of a very dense neighbourhood where bedbugs abound - just look at the sightings on this very website. It would be naive to think that this building could stay immune while the whole community around us teams with the little suckers.
And as one who has had the misfortune of li
ving through a bedbug nightmare (not in this building but close by) I can tell you that it does indeed take a terrible toll on you, mentally and physically. I was covered in bites on my arms and legs, slept in a lazyboy chair for a month until I could move out of the unit, could barely get any rest for thinking they were crawling on me the minute I closed my eyes... And the financial toll was incredible, what with new matresses and linens, having to move, throwing so much stuff out. And lastly was the stress of dealing with the building management which went into denial and didn't want to acknowledge a problem in case it kept other renters away. How backwards is that?
So, to all of us at 40 Homewood, let's keep the insults to a dull roar, presume best intentions, and not use this site to air our personal grievances! This should be a place to get objective information about BEDBUGS!
happy @ homewood on 08/11/2009
I live at 40 Homewood and encountered them twice in the 5+ years that I have been there. Be vigilant and they go away. To go as far as to say that it has affected your mental health would only lead me to believe that perhaps you were already lacking mental stability. It\'s a major city people get over it or go live in the country.
bugfree on 12/09/2008
As the last posts we too have been a happy resident of 40 homewood for the last 4 plus years. We have never even seen a bedbug- or any other bug in our unit. We purchaced our unit last year after renting there for three years, feeling it was an amazing location and a bargan in terms of space location and facilities. We cannot praise the mainteneace and new management company enough as they have been great, and the condo board is keen on improving the buildings already good condition.

I have been a resident of 40 Homewood ave for over 6 years, and find it to be one of the best kept, and maintained buildings i have ever lived in. I have never had a bug problem of any kind, bedbug, roach ant or flee- which is saying allot in Toronto. It is no co-incidence that most tenants here, rental or owners, have been at this address for many years. Amazing location, great facilities, quiet and safe.
as superman says this infestation is probably cause by personal living conditions , rathe
r than any real problem with the building.
i am and will be a member of this awesome building for many years to come.

This is a newly renovated building that is spotlessly clean. It is well maintained and all the owners that I am familiar with (very many) DO NOT have bugs of any discription in their units. An excellent building that anyone should be proud to live in.
chritch on 10/09/2008
So I have been looking at a place in this building to rent, looks incredible, good price, good location, but the ad has been popping back up on craigslist for months now.
I am very happy I did some research on the building before signing on the dotted line.
1 bedbug issue = freak accident, bad choices by tenant/owner.
8-10 bedbug issues = dirty building with an infestation.
I believe the responsibility falls on the management/ownership of building.
word of mouth is big in the real
estate industry.
Good luck with the bugs Homewooders.

They are in my apartment as well. Discovered them last week and have been steaming and doing laundry. Purchased a brand new bed when we moved in, so we know that we did not bring them.

My husband and I own a condo at 40 Homewood Avenue, 3rd Floor, and 2 months ago we got bedbugs. We just got a handle on them a week ago - and are still battling any recurrence. Because we threw out our bed as soon as we were 90% sure what the problem was - we ended up with a minor infestation - which cost us about $2,500 and weeks of vacuuming, laundry, 2 sprayings, caulking, painting, and throwing out a bunch of linen, and furniture - we still have diatomaceous earth and
deep steam cleaning to go.
Mattress encasements are a must - they zip up around the mattress and box spring (both must have them) - and cost $160 each from Sleep Country (only $45 in the States but no-one in the States that I could find ships to Canada). Entimology labs have tested six companies that sell mattress encasements. "Protect-A-Bed" - the ones Sleep Country sells - were one of three that passed all tests. They have a special "BugLock" zipper so the bedbugs cannot get out through the zipper (if they are in your bed already) - and new bugs cannot get in - so makes it easy to see any new bedbug action.
We've ordered "diatomaceous earth" from a web-site in Vermont - it's a naturally occurring fine powder resulting from millenia of pulverized shells, skeletons, rocks - and is used for many industrial uses - the Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth must be used - it is harmless to pets and humans and no bed bug survives, because they cannot develop a resistance. All the blogs I've read swear by this stuff - once it's spread it's a permanent solution (remember that pests can only be controlled - they're all around us). It does affect the psyche - different people react differently - but all of us are creeped out by it - and immediate action is required. Fighting the little buggers has to be a war on all fronts at once - with the first action being "protect your bed" - and you will win!

I just discovered my unit is infested (Aug 18, 2008). I'm on the 20th floor. My unit was inspected last year and was bug free, I checked again about 6 months ago and didn't see any. I'm not sure where they came from but its a problem for the building.

Superman = Superdumb
A typo gives you the right to question what I had to go through ??? His name is RON and he is complete A****le !!! and so are you !
Superman on 06/19/2008
I have owned my L\'espirit suite for 6 years.
Have been to all condo meetings and THIS is the very first time I have even heard a possibiltiy of infestation of any sort.
More then 90 % of the suites are owned and lived in by the owner/ or extended family member, resulting a very small renting availablity.
Darren must be completely confused or bitter.
As for Bed Bugs, Darren should have bought new furniture when he sublet the place (WHERE HE GOT CAUGHT AND HAD TO LEAVE GOT BITTER AND POST
ED THIS)but proably opted out and went dumpster diving for his bedroom set. Resulting his new bed friends.
As for a Tom [email protected]%Tface he mentioned ... There is no Tom, there was no Tom, and I can tell you 100% that the 2 years he was subletting, Tom never exisited. Just bitter that he got caught and have to leave a great place.
Hope Darren was able to really figure out what those rashes are ??? poor neighbours he moves next too. cause you know he is bringing all his things.

This seems to be one of the worst experiences of my life. Combined with day-to-day activities, battling bed bugs has taken a toll on my nerves and mental health. I now feel that the only solution is to get rid of all my possessions, sell my unit and move. Not an ideal situation for someo

I believe this issue seriously effects indivduals emotional and physical well-being. The address of the building is: 40 Homewood Avenue Toronto ON"

Tens of millions of Baby Boomers – about 40% of those age 50 to 64, according to one recent survey—plan to move either just before or just after retirement. And a not-insignificant share of those who do move will choose to live in an organized retirement community, fueling what's currently a $54 billion industry. But as big as those numbers may look, they obscure some even bigger ones: The lion's share of retirees opt to "age in place," staying put in the towns, neighborhoods and residences where they've spent their working lives and raised their families.
That stay-at-home phenomenon has led growing numbers of social scientists and health-policy folks to study what they call "naturally occurring retirement communities," or NORCs. A NORC, essentially, is an accidental retirement village, evolving gradually as a group of neighbors grow old at the same time. What NORCs don't always have, of course, are the web of support services that draw some older people to more formal retirement communities – classes and workshops, concerts, gyms, transport to doctor appointments and the like. But some social-services groups are now exploring how to provide such support, with the aim of letting people live independently longer without having to relocate.
Apartment and condo blocks in some cities are often good candidates to become NORCs, since many are home to groups of residents of roughly the same age who moved in at the same phase of life. This week, the New York Times's Constance Rosenblum takes a look at several NORCs that are emerging on New York City's Upper West Side—a neighborhood where 22% of the population is over 60 (compared with 18% nationally). The experiences vary widely from building to building: Some property managers have teamed up successfully with nonprofit groups to organize a host of services ranging from assistance with shopping to on-site medical exams and exercise classes; but others have struggled with the demands of serving older residents while still catering to younger ones. Ultimately, the bigger the "mature" share of the population, the better the services seem to be: At Lincoln Towers, one activity-intensive complex in the Times article, about 40% of the 9,000 residents are over 60.
Readers: Do you think your current community, or your parents' community, could someday be a NORC? Would that appeal to you? Why or why not?

Salesforce.com's credibility suffering from service outages
This week, Salesforce.com--everyone's favorite example of software on-demand--suffered an outage of something like three to six hours, knocking out service for possibly thousands of customers. According to the vendor,On Tuesday December 20th, some salesforce.com users experienced intermittent access (between approximately 9:30 am and 12:41 pm ET & 2:00 pm and 4:45 pm ET) on one of the companyÂ?s four global nodes. The root cause of the intermittent access was an error in the database cluster. Salesforce.com addressed the issue with the database vendor. By Tuesday afternoon EST, the system was running normally for all users.What concerns me though, is not this single outage. It's that this is just the worst case incident in what is apparently a less-than-rare occurance for Salesforce.com customers. According to CNet:Salesforce touts an "uptime" rate of greater than 99 percent. Outages are "a rare occasion," according to [Salesforce.com spokesperson Bruce] Francis. He said Salesforce's systems are as reliable or more reliable than other comparable systems, including the type that companies run on their own servers.It doesn't need to be this way. A large part of what Google and Yahoo provide is really software on-demand--little applications. When was the last time you went to Google or Yahoo and found service unavailable for more than a few seconds?
Yet several Salesforce customers that contacted CNET News.com about Tuesday's glitch said outages happen more frequently than they had expected. About once a month, Mission Research experiences Salesforce outages that typically last an hour or so, [Charlie] Crystle, [CEO of Salesforce.com customer Mission Research] said. Another customer, an East Coast consulting firm, has been struck by outages about a half a dozen times over the past year, according to the firm's vice president, who requested anonymity. Frustration levels are rising.
"I'm really, really angry about this because (Salesforce is) out there marketing themselves as something they're just not living up to," Crystle said.
Readers of the Spectator know that I'm actually a proponent of the trend toward software on-demand. I like its promise to simplify system implementation and maintenance, especially for small and mid-size businesses, relieving the customer of having to worry about things like backups, recovery, disaster planning, and service level maintenance.
But the trend toward software on-demand is going to be set back several years if on-demand vendors can't maintain the service levels they promise and that customers expect.
Are the problems of Salesforce.com typical of other software on-demand vendors, or is Salesforce.com an anomaly? If you have insights, post a comment to this post or email me.
Update, Dec. 22. There's further discussion going on in the comments section for this post.

JDE users want Oracle's Fusion to support IBM technology
A recent survey conducted by Quest, the J.D. Edwards user group, highlights the a strategic problem for Oracle relative to its JDE installed base.
The survey, which polled 300 JDE user companies, indicates that a significant number of them will not take Oracle's Project Fusion upgrade path if that path does not provide support for IBM technologies. The bulk of JDE users--and all of them running JDE's World Software product--are running on IBM's iSeries (formerly AS/400) hardware, and IBM's DB2 database.
According to Computerworld,Keeping the iSeries as a platform of choice for Fusion was more important than pricing or functionality, Quest said, citing its survey. If support for the server is dropped, 29% of those surveyed wouldn't migrate to the Fusion architecture, while 50% said they weren't sure if they'd upgrade under those conditions. Moreover, 35% of the World customers surveyed said they'd stick with their existing applications. Software could also be a key element -- 85% said they use IBM's DB2 database, and 67% use it exclusively.The results are not surprising, and it does put Oracle in a difficult position. If it puts iSeries and DB2 support into Project Fusion, it risks not getting the operational efficiencies and simplicity of supporting a single technology stack. It also risks losing the cross-sell of its database and tools. But, as the survey shows, if it does not support IBM technologies, it risks losing a significant number of JDE users for the long run.
I'll go out on a limb and suggest, as I have in the past, that Oracle will and should go with a single technology stack--its own--for Project Fusion. It will continue to provide strong incentives for JDE users to make the migration from IBM technologies. Ultimately, it will then sell off the JDE World product to someone else--maybe SSA, maybe Lawson, maybe even Infor--realizing some value for those customers that refuse to upgrade.
Update, Dec. 23. Be sure to check the discussion on this post in the Comments.

Microsoft lags in offering CRM on-demand
Last week, Microsoft announced delivery of version 3.0 of its Dynamics CRM 3.0. It also announced a change in its licensing to allow partners to offer the CRM package on a hosted subscription basis.
Microsoft's move with CRM is consistent with its recent push into software as a service, but its announcements show how difficult it will be for Microsoft to make the transition to services. Microsoft's whole business model is built around selling software licenses.
The first problem is that Microsoft CRM has not been, to this point, a strong offering. Earlier versions had limited functionality, and Microsoft was slow to enhance the product. Computerworld describes the problems that one company faced with the product:Door maker Designer Doors Inc. bought and deployed Microsoft CRM several years ago but put the software back on the shelf after running into a host of problems. The most painful were synchronization glitches that kept the software's features from being available to remote workers.Not a great foundation for Microsoft's push into business software delivered as a service.
"We had put a lot of effort into making this our centerpiece for sales and marketing," said Michael Kruger, information systems manager at the River Falls, Wis.-based company. "It's been expensive for us to find work-arounds."
The second problem is that Microsoft does not host its CRM system, as on-demand leaders Salesforce.com and RightNow do. Consistent with its business model generally, Microsoft depends on partners to sell and host its CRM offering. But its hard to see how Microsoft will be able to scale its on-demand services if it has to depend on partners, most of which are small regional players.
Third, Microsoft's partners appear to be pricing the CRM offering at over $100 per user per month. The last time I checked, Salesforce.com was offering seats for well under $100. On that basis alone, Microsoft's offering is a non-starter.
The reason that Microsoft's offering is not price competitive is that it is built with a single tenant architecture. Each new customer needs a separate installation of the system, on a separate server, with a separate database, adding significantly to the cost. A multi-tenant architecture, as offered by the most successful on-demand providers, has a radically lower cost structure, allowing the vendor to on-board new customers quickly.
Furthermore, its hard to see how a Microsoft partner can afford to sell CRM on-demand to under 10 users, if it has to build a separate server for each sale. Microsoft's natural sweet spot is small businesses. But if partners can't afford to sell to the smallest prospects, how will they be successful? In contrast, Salesforce.com and RightNow can sell a five user deal as cost-effectively as they can sell as 50 or 100 user deal.
Microsoft does plan to rebuild its CRM offering around a multi-tenant architecture, but its projected ship date is sometime in 2007. Microsoft is already late to the software on-demand dance, and its product development schedule shows just how far behind it is.
Computerworld has more.

Salesforce.com offers development sandbox
As part of its AppExchange service, Salesforce.com is now offering users the ability to run test, development, or training copies of their applications, including any custom or third-party applications that the user is running on top of Salesforce.com. CNET has a summary.
Of course, in-house application development organizations have been maintaining testing environments since the early days of corporate computing in the 1950s. But for software on-demand, this is an important step in increasing adoption of hosted applications. Software on-demand is often hamstrung by difficulty in creating custom modifications or generally doing anything outside of running the production environment.
On-demand providers such as Oracle that install a separate instance of the application for each customer can offer multiple environments without much difficulty. But, to my knowledge, Salesforce.com is the first provider operating under a multi-tenant architecture--once system instance supporting multiple customers--to offer such a capability.
If you can read past the marketing fluff, there's more info on the Salesforce.com website.

SAP responds to Oracle's move into pricing optimization
Retail industry systems have been one of the latest battlegrounds between Oracle and SAP. Earlier this year, Oracle outbid SAP for Retek, a specialist vendor of retail management software. Then in June, Oracle added to its retail functionality by acquiring ProfitLogic, a niche vendor of pricing and profit optimization software. At the time, I predicted that Oracle's bid for ProfitLogic might lead to other acquisitions in this space.
Sure enough, late last month SAP announced its acquisition of Khimetrics, one of the other key vendors generally lumped together with ProfitLogic. The area of pricing, profit, and demand optimization is highly fragmented, with various players focusing on different aspects of the problem, in different industries. For example, ProfitLogic has strength in specialty goods and apparel, whereas Khimetrics has special expertise in grocery and general merchandise and has recently been pushing into financial services.
DemandTec, Manugistics, Spotlight, Connect3, and Vendavo are other vendors offering solutions in this space. Expect further consolidation as Oracle and SAP look to fill out their offerings in this area.
Update, 7:00 p.m. Read Jason Wood's comment on this post, which raises some insightful questions on this deal and why SAP didn't choose DemandTec over Khimetrics. Also, on his own blog, he writes,Khimetrics is, by most accounts, a fine company [it's my understanding they are running at approximately $30mm annually and growing], but as an investor I have to wonder what this means for DemandTec? DemandTec has been SAP's partner in demand-driven price optimization and its solutions are already integrated into NetWeaver [unlike KhiDEMAND]. Furthermore, DemandTec is considered the market leader both in terms of revenue market share and technology footprint. So what led to SAP acquiring Khimetrics instead? Was DemandTec unwilling to sell? Was their asking price too high? Were there issues with the partnership that are beyond our purview?I'm thinking maybe the story isn't over yet.
